Chapter 949: 947, Chaos Mountain and River Map

After paying respects to Lu Zixun, Lu Hanmo led Luo Shu to greet a group of his cousins.

For Lu Hanmo’s cousins, Luo Shu was familiar with them, but looking at them now in their middle age, she couldn’t help feeling a sense of sorrow for the merciless passing of time. Thankfully, in another world, they had already begun cultivating. As long as they could break through to the Nascent Soul stage, their appearances would never change.

Hearing cheers around him, Lu Hanmo opened his eyes and looked toward the auction stage to see an exotic woman in a red dress sashaying onto the stage.

Just now in his dream, he had once again experienced his wedding night with Shushu. Now, his heart still couldn’t calm down. The intense longing was driving him almost insane! He really missed Shushu so much! He wished he could see her right now!

"Miss Xue Yuan, I’ve finally seen you."

"Miss Xue Yuan, I came here especially for you." As the male cultivators in the audience saw the woman in the red dress on the stage, they all started to boil with excitement. In fact, many cultivators at the auction weren’t there to bid on items, but instead, to catch a glimpse of that woman on the stage.

Xue Yuan was a Level One Auctioneer at Red Lotus Auction House. Not only was she enchantingly beautiful, but her figure was also so enticing that it made one’s mind wander. However, she rarely hosted auctions, so whenever she did, the auction house would be filled to the brim. Many people were even willing to pay an exorbitant price just to see her once.

Xue Yuan raised her eyebrows and glanced over the crowd, then bent forward slightly with a seductive curving of her lips, saying, "Welcome to Red Lotus Auction House, I am Auctioneer Xue Yuan. It is a great honor for me to host this auction for all of you! This time, Red Lotus Auction House has meticulously prepared twenty items for auction. Each of these items has been carefully selected by our auction house to ensure satisfaction! Everyone, be sure to bid quickly, or you’ll regret missing out!" She coquettishly winked at the audience.

The many male cultivators present were tantalized by Xue Yuan, their hearts fluttering as they shouted excitedly once more.

"Miss Xue Yuan, seeing you already makes my trip worthwhile."

"Seeing you, I’m already satisfied. Miss Xue Yuan, might you honor me with your company for dinner afterward?"

"I’ve admired you for so long! Miss Xue Yuan, if you’re willing to become my companion, I will give you everything I have."

Xue Yuan cast a coquettish glance at the crowd and said shyly, "Thank you all for your kind affection towards Xue Yuan, I am deeply grateful. However, the main event today is the auction, so without further ado, let us begin the bidding."

As her voice fell, a staff member of the auction house stepped onto the stage carrying a tray.

Xue Yuan smiled at the crowd and said, "The first item we have for auction today is a bottle of Level Five Replenishing Yuan Pills. As all you esteemed cultivators know, Replenishing Yuan Pills can nourish the Yuan Soul, making it stronger. The strength of the Yuan Soul is also crucial in battle."

While speaking, she took the Jade Bottle from the tray and showed it to the crowd for a moment, then opened the bottle and poured out an Elixir, placing it in the palm of her hand for everyone to see more clearly, "This Jade Bottle contains a total of six Top-quality Replenishing Yuan Pills, with a starting bid of ten thousand Medium Grade Immortal Crystals, and each increment must be no less than one thousand Medium Grade Immortal Crystals. Replenishing Yuan Pills can be used cumulatively; with each one consumed, the Yuan Soul gains an increase, as does the odds of victory in battle. Esteemed guests, don’t miss out on such quality items!"

With her announcement, the entire place erupted with successive bids.

"Eleven thousand Medium Grade Immortal Crystals!"

"Twelve thousand Medium Grade Immortal Crystals!"

"Thirteen thousand Medium Grade..."

The price climbed swiftly, and within moments, it had soared to ten million Medium Grade Immortal Crystals.

Lu Hanmo naturally had no interest in the Elixir. His main reason for visiting the Red Lotus Auction House was for the Feathered Cloud Wings. Yet, that escalating price still made him click his tongue in amazement. If even a bottle of Level Five Replenishing Yuan Pills could fetch such a high price, surely the Feathered Cloud Wings would be even more expensive?

After calculating the Immortal Crystals he had on hand, Lu Hanmo furrowed his brows slightly. It seemed he had to find another way.

While Lu Hanmo was deep in thought, the bottle of Replenishing Yuan Pills on stage was bought by a Late-stage Peak Golden Immortal Cultivator for thirty-one million Medium Grade Immortal Crystals.

Lu Hanmo shook his head with a wry smile. He had originally thought that he might be able to compete with the wealth he had, but now he realized that the Immortal Crystals he possessed didn’t even qualify him to bid.

The second item to be auctioned was brought up by a staff member to the stage, and as the Red Silk Ribbon covering the tray was lifted, a scroll appeared before everyone.

Xue Yuan glanced at the audience, smiled coyly, and picked up the scroll from the tray, slowly unrolling it.

As the scroll was unfurled, a majestic landscape painting was revealed before the audience, with verdant mountains stretching into the clouds, pleasing to the eye at first glance.

"This landscape painting was acquired by Red Lotus Auction House from a cultivator. According to him, he found it in the Hengshan Immortal Trace, and this painting may conceal a Small World. Whether it truly does is something that all of you will have to verify for yourselves. The starting bid for this painting is five thousand Medium Grade Immortal Crystals, with each subsequent increase no less than one hundred Medium Grade Immortal Crystals," Xue Yuan said with a smile. After the painting was received, the auction house had already verified that it was just an ordinary landscape painting.

As Lu Hanmo looked at the landscape painting, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. He recalled ancient records mentioning this painting. The painting was known as the "Chaos Mountain and River Map," and according to those records, it was a treasured possession of the Yellow Emperor during ancient times. If this was indeed the painting recorded in the ancient texts, perhaps there really was a space hidden within it.

When the starting bid was announced, the whole room fell silent, with no one initially opening the bidding.

"Ladies and gentlemen! This might be an enormous opportunity. Small Worlds are rare, and if you miss this chance, there may not be another," Xue Yuan said, seeing that no one seemed inclined to bid. It seemed likely that the item would pass unsold.
