The Rebirth of an Immortal Cultivator
Chapter 233: The Auction in the 100-storey Tower
Mo Lian really did not expect that in the interior of the room it was the same as other luxury hotels, it could even be said to be even better since everything here was added with array formations.
As Mo Lian was relaxing on the soft bed, the table next to the bed emitted a blue glow on its top, and it looked to be a Shenyan-branded wine that was over 10,000 years old.
"Wine?" Mo Lian turned her head to the right. "Is this room service included?"
Mo Lian pretended not to know and picked up the wine on the table. He knew if anyone was watching him, even until now despite being in the room. Because of this, he chose to sit back and relax without doing any strange actions.
Until the evening began, he climbed down from his bed, and releasing his spiritual energy destroyed all the technology that had been watching his movements all along. He could not calm down if anyone was watching, because his personal area could be seen.
With this, he could cultivate without having to be noticed by the person upstairs. He knew there was no ill will, but it was still very unpleasant.

Three days had already passed and today was the day where the Shen Auction was held on the 70th floor.
Mo Lian did not wear martial attire like a dress, but rather long black pants, a black T-shirt lined by ordinary martial attire in gray, and a black suit that was not pocketed.
Mo Lian who was already on the 70th floor went straight to the sizable twin doors, covering at least two to three floors in this one floor.
He had already brought the Auction Invitation Card he obtained three days ago, and displayed it directly before being asked by the two guards at the doorstep.
When he was already welcome and allowed to enter, he was greeted by the old geezer who was wearing red Tang Suit clothes and wearing black pants.
"Master Mo. Miss invites you to go upstairs in Room Number One." The old man cupped his hands together.
Mo Lian looked up to see where Room No. 01 was. He felt a similar aura from the person watching him for these few days. "No need, I'll sit in a chair according to the card." He showed me the Invitation Card.
Mo Lian walked towards the chair past the old man.
The old grandfather himself could only fall silent without being able to force Mo Lian, as he knew his strength could not hold back the enraged Mo Lian. Although he was informed that Mo Lian's strength was only limited to Nature and Humans, but he realized that it was cultivation that had been passed down.
Mo Lian sat on seat number 437 and in her seat was a board inscribed with a similar number. He saw a list of items to be auctioned in a brochure in the pocket of his right seat.
Level 4 Artifacts, Level 4 Weapons, Level 4 Pills, Talismans, Black Techniques and so on.
The items here were nothing that caught his attention, as all of those items were very easy to make. What makes him curious is only the last item that is not shown the picture and name. He hoped that it was an item capable of increasing his cultivation speed.
Right now, his cultivation was stifled and it was extremely difficult to raise it again. Increasing the Three Powers equivalent to the Late-stage Immortal Dao was extremely difficult, but this was already extremely satisfying as it only took three years, unlike the time in the Central Galaxy that required 400 years.
A dozen minutes later, all the seats had been fully filled and the auction was about to begin.
The young lady with long light green hair, who was wearing a pink Cheongsam walked up the stairs towards the auction podium.
The woman carried an iron tool that had a shape like a microphone, although the inside there was no electrical circuit, but the array patterns that function to transmit sound and enlarge it.
"Thank you for the honorable attendance. I'm Cheng Xiao will be the host of the show tonight ..."
"Without lingering any longer, let's bring the first thing."
Suddenly the room lights dimmed and on the podium there was a blue light that fell, and showed a wooden table on which there was a green Jade Plate, with a carving ' ⁇ ' or 'Yang'.
Jade plate is not perfectly shaped, because there are cracks on the surface and there are small fragments in the corner.
Cheng Xiao lifted the microphone, closing his lips. "This is the Protective Artifact once used by Legendary Cultivators! Yang Yaoshan who had long left the Tianjin Star after having broken through to the Immortal Dao!"
"The starting price is five hundred Middle quality Spiritual Stones! The price increase should not be less than fifty Spiritual Stones!"
Soon, everyone began to raise the number board and offer a price that felt suitable.
Mo Lian simply kept quiet not bidding at all when the others were trying hard to obtain it. A lowly artifact, capable of withstanding only one attack from Nature and Man, would then be destroyed. It's useless!
The price continued to soar until it was bid for the price of 20,000 Intermediate quality Spiritual Stones won by VIP Room No. 08.
Cheng Xiao raised his left hand, giving off a blue light that re-lighted the podium and replaced the new item which was a long wooden box.
Deftly, Cheng Xiao opened the wooden box, and instantly a cold aura began to spread throughout the room.
Cheng Xiao who was not too resistant coldly decided to reclose the wooden box, then he explained, "This is the Cold Rose Sword found in the Cold Lake that is on Tianhe Mainland. Discovered by the Golden Half Soul Cultivator who was there to look for the Cold Grass ..."
Cheng Xiao paused for a moment to observe the faces of everyone who seemed very curious about his halted explanation. But his attention was more on Mo Lian, as he was tasked by Shen Jia Mee to attract Mo Lian's attention with the items being auctioned.
However, his efforts were futile and did not succeed in attracting Mo Lian's attention. Finally, Cheng Xiao resumed his unfinished explanation. "This sword has an ice effect and can freeze land within a mile radius. Then for Cultivators who cultivated the Ice Element, their Ice Element strength would triple!"
"Initial offer price—" Has not been able to mention the initial price, there have been those who raised the board and bid the price.
"Ten thousand Spatial Stones!"
"Fifteen thousand Spiritual Stones!"
"Thirty thousand Spiritual Stones!"
The war of wealth continued unabated, until hundreds of offers had been given, and it was finally won by VIP Room No. 02 at the price of 50,000 High quality Spiritual Stones, or the equivalent of 5,000,000 Intermediate quality Spiritual Stones.
Mo Lian who was on bench number 437 could only shut up and shook his head slowly, not knowing why so many wanted a broken sword that was not too useful.
"If you don't have money! Shut up and don't style!"
Mo Lian turned her head to the left, looked at the dark blue-haired young man wearing a black suit, and smiled disdainfully with a condescending look.
Mo Lian turned her face and refocused on the auction podium. Not have money? It has millions of High quality Spirit Stones, various sorts of Level 6, 5 Divine, 6 Divine Pills. Spices and herbs with the age of tens of thousands of years.
"The next item is the Pill of Nature and Man. As the name implies, this pill helped the Gold Core Cultivator to break through Nature and Humans. This pill was refined by Elder Yi of the Qingzhaou Sect, who happened to be currently in VIP Room Number Two!" Cheng Xiao pointed his left hand at VIP Room No. 02 on the front left on the second floor.
Everyone turned to the direction that Cheng Xiao pointed at, and there was a black signboard with a white ' ⁇ ' sign'.
"The starting price is five thousand Middle quality Spiritual Stones! With the increase in price should not be less than five hundred Spiritual Stones!"
The war of wealth resumed, and until now Mo Lian had not shown any interest in all the items being auctioned. He considered all the ingredients to be trash, especially for the Natural and Human Pills whose purity was only 30%, and a lot of dirt.
The pure energy contained within it also continued to decrease, and although it had only been opened for a few seconds, the energy contained had already been reduced by two-fifths.
Mo Lian herself heard a humbling sound of laughter from inside VIP Room No. 02, which meant Elder Yi understood that the Pill of Nature and Man were not in a perfect state.
Mo Lian let out a long breath, she really did not want to do this. But, what's wrong. He released his spiritual energy, putting his energy into the wooden box containing the Natural and Human Pills.
Duarr!
The wooden box exploded, causing a huge fire to burn and hit Cheng Xiao who entered the blaze.
"Cheng Xiao!" The voice of the woman who was shouting worriedly sounded from inside the VIP Room No. 01.
With a flick of his finger, Mo Lian created a lump of water that was above the flames, and extinguished it.
Cheng Xiao, who was suspected of suffering severe burns, survived and saw a tree root that protected Cheng Xiao's left from the explosion.
"Older Yi! Why can the Natural and Human Pills you distilled explode?! Give an explanation to the Hundred-Floor Tower!" Shen Jia Mee who was in VIP Room No. 01 was really angry.
"I—" Elder Yi who was about to explain came to a halt as a voice echoed within the room.
"Natural and Human Pill with thirty percent purity, a lot of impurities contained within it. Actually I don't care and don't really want to take care of this, but because Elder Yi reminds me of elder Elder Jian. Then I detonated his trash pill!"
Mo Lian used a hoarse and agile voice, sounding like an old geezer.
Everyone was stunned when they heard the voice, and started to turn their heads in all directions, figuring out who actually dared to say such a thing. With this said, then it would be tantamount to humiliating the Qingzhaou Sect, one of the biggest sects in the Tang Empire.
Moreover, by direct insulting Elder Jian the news of his death had been widespread, and to date it was still unknown what the cause of death was and where the corpse was.
As everyone was panicking and looking for the source of the voice, Mo Lian casually raised her hand and said, "Can we continue? I'm in a hurry!"
