Chapter 112: The Little Deer is Delightful, the Big Deer Harms the Body, the Strong Deer Turns to Ashes!
Mo Liushu was truly angry; having been toyed with twice in succession, anyone would find it unbearable.
At this moment, her rationality and restraint completely snapped.
“If you dare to make me uncomfortable, don’t think you’ll get off scot-free!”
The aura, nearly that of a Semi-Sage, erupted violently within the auction house, causing many to change color in shock.
“Wait!”
Zhao Wutian’s voice had a hint of urgency.
An unexpected incident occurred under everyone’s watch; whoever was responsible, the auction house could not evade its blame.
He was indeed in the wrong here.
More importantly, if Mo Liushu caused a scene, it could very possibly disrupt his plans.
The immediate priority was to defuse the situation.
“This is indeed our oversight. I’m willing to compensate you for all your losses and promise that any items you auction in the future will receive a ten percent discount!”
Hearing this, Mo Liushu finally calmed down.
“That’s more like it.”
She said satisfactorily, returning to her room.
Unbeknownst to her, Zhao Wutian was wearing a cold smile at this moment.
Forget a ten percent discount; even a one percent discount was of no consequence!
Once these people were all wiped out, all treasures and spiritual stones would return to him.
This concession was merely shifting money from his left pocket to his right pocket.
“Next, please welcome the third auction item.”
The elder prolonged his voice, causing everyone to eagerly await.
This time, instead of a beautiful woman, eight muscular men came out.
They had bulging veins, carrying a massive cabinet onto the stage, struggling immensely.
Zhou Tong squinted; the cabinet was pitch black, entirely made of Underworld Gold. Regardless of anything else, this cabinet was a rare treasure in itself.
Underworld Gold was extraordinarily special; it was not only incredibly hard but could also nullify all killing intents, making it perfect for use as shields and armor.
Even so, Zhou Tong could sense an extremely powerful pressure emanating from that cabinet. It surely contained something terrifying.
“Everyone be careful, this treasure is somewhat dangerous. Those lacking confidence in their strength should avoid looking at it, and this is for your own good.”
The elder said with a smile, though his tone was filled with provocation.
How could this be?
Which cultivator could admit they were weak in public? If one were to admit that, what was the point of cultivating at all?
As a result, everyone widened their eyes, focusing intently on the cabinet.
When the cabinet door slowly opened, a ray of colorful light shot out, piercing the eyes of every onlooker.
In an instant, cries of anguish filled the air, and many people’s eyes began to bleed.
“Ah ah ah… Damn it, my eyes… My eyes are burning!”
“My head hurts so much; what is this thing?! It can actually burn the soul and cannot be removed from my line of sight!”
In just a moment, the cries echoed with fear, many people already hanging on the edge of the Ghost Gate.
At a critical juncture, Zhou Tong made his move. He stomped lightly, and his vast spiritual power surged forth, blocking the vision of those people.
“Whew!!”
Heavy gasps followed, and many were left in a state of collapse, drenched in cold sweat and in utter disarray.
“Thank you, Guest Senior, for the timely rescue.”
Those who survived the ordeal cupped their hands towards Room One, but received no response.
Inside the room, Zhou Tong stood up, his gaze fixated on the cabinet’s contents.
“Where on earth did that scoundrel Zhao Wutian get these rare treasures?”
Zhou Tong felt numb, for this auction item was even more heavyweight.
Once the brilliance faded, a dragon-eye-sized colorful orb lay in the cabinet, emitting an indescribable fragrance.
“Don’t smell it!”
Someone cried out warily, but still, some fell victim to its allure, dizzy and slumping to the ground.
What on earth is this?
Some strong warriors had their eyes glimmering; this was definitely not an ordinary item!
“Has anyone heard of the Glazed Spirit Deer?”
The elder twirled his beard, smiling brightly.
As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding area was filled with sounds of gasps.
That was a divine beast that only existed in legends, rarer than dragons and phoenixes!
“That colorful orb… Could it be…”
Someone pointed shakily at the object in the cabinet, asking.
“Correct, this is a fragrance pouch from the Glazed Spirit Deer, and it belongs to a young deer!”
Upon hearing this news, people were left stunned into silence.
The fragrance pouch contained all the essence of the Glazed Spirit Deer, and its function was straightforward.
In short, two words: Become Sage!
It allowed those in the Cycle Realm to break through to Semi-Sage and those in Semi-Sage to reach Sage!
This effect was simply remarkable, enough to drive everyone mad.
However, using such a treasure comes with limitations.
In its lifetime, the Glazed Spirit Deer goes through four stages. When it is first born, its body is only three-colored and is called a fawn, lacking any fragrance pouch.
Once it grows to the next stage, it becomes five-colored, developing a fragrance pouch and is called a young deer.
At this stage, the fragrance pouch is the most precious; its effects are comprehensive and gentle, and there are no side effects when breaking through to the Saint Realm.
When it matures further, the spirit deer transforms into a stag, its body revealing seven colors, and the pouch’s medicinal properties become extremely potent. While it can still help a person become a Sage, it carries significant risks.
In its final stage, the Glazed Spirit Deer becomes the Nine-Colored Divine Deer, awakening the innate divine ability of the Nine-Colored Glazed Light, which can ignore all defenses, making it extremely terrifying. Thus, it is also called a strong deer!
By this time, the pouch’s medicinal properties become incredibly perilous, akin to deadly poison.
If someone below the Sage level consumes it, they would certainly explode.
Therefore, in the eyes of many, the pouch from a strong deer had no value.
As the saying goes, “The little deer brings joy, the big deer harms the body, and the strong deer turns to ashes;” this is the reasoning behind it!
However, Zhou Tong believed that the fragrance pouch being auctioned was not from a young deer but from a strong deer!
Yet, because of this, he was exceptionally excited.
For unbeknownst to the masses, the strong deer’s fragrance pouch is poison to those below the Sage level but a phenomenal supplement for those above.
Zhou Tong looked at Mu Ran Ya beside him, making a decision in his heart.
His master had just broken through to the Sage realm; it was time to bolster her strength.
If luck was on his side, she might even learn the innate divine abilities of the Glazed Spirit Deer, which would be like adding wings to a tiger.
“I want this!”
Zhou Tong declared decisively.
Mo Liushu had the same thought; to become a Sage, she must acquire this item.
Just then, the elder of the auction house suddenly spoke up.
“This item cannot be auctioned for spiritual stones.”
Everyone was left dumbfounded by this statement.
“If not spiritual stones, then what will be used?”
“Of course, it will be settled with treasures. Whether it’s pills, artifacts, or weapons; in short, whoever can offer high-value treasures in exchange will receive this fragrance pouch!”
