Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme-Chapter 855 - 530: Competition

```

Endure for a moment and the wind will fall and the waves will be calm; retreat one step and the sea will spread and the sky will be vast.

A true man, is able to bend and to stretch!

So, he endured.

He had no choice but to endure; as a visitor on someone else’s turf, starting a fight wouldn’t bring any advantage.

As for leaving in a huff, it’s one thing to leave, but what about the Purple and Green Twin Swords?

Familiar with his own situation, the man in black knew very well that without the protection of a treasure, surviving the fourth Immortal Tribulation would be nearly impossible, with a high chance of perishing both in body and Taoist cultivation.

Therefore, the Purple and Green Twin Swords were a must-have; he couldn’t afford to leave out of temporary anger and risk his life.

"Three pieces of Fusang Golden Crow Wood!"

Seeing him step back in forbearance, Feng Qingqing didn’t press further and turned her attention to the mysterious competitor in the bidding.

That person, upon seeing this, also acted decisively and sent another streak of starlight onto the stage.

"Ancient stardust iron—two pieces!"

"Two pieces of ancient stardust iron can be used to forge four Ninth Order Spiritual Objects."

Feng Qingqing smiled and turned her gaze back to the man in black.

"..."

"..."

"..."

The man in black fell silent, and the crowd dared not speak, resorting to exchanging thoughts through divine sense in hushed tones.

"Two pieces of ancient stardust iron?"

"Just who is this distinguished person?"

"Although the Purple and Green Twin Swords are extraordinary, are they worth four Ninth Order immortal materials?"

"Showing up mysteriously and using ancient stardust iron, which is fairly common and hard to trace the origin of—a Ninth Order immortal material—could this person possibly be a shill placed by the Wandao School?"

"Even if it is a shill, isn’t this price hiking a bit too outrageous? Aren’t they afraid of getting stuck with the item?"

"Why be afraid? That old ghost from the Great Sun Immortal Sect bidding like this and even staking three cuts of Fusang Golden Crow Wood shows his desperate need for the Purple and Green Twin Swords—it’s likely he relies on this treasure to overcome the next Immortal Tribulation."

"Striking at such a crucial need, he wouldn’t dare let go. He can only fight desperately!"

"Although the Sacred Places have an understanding to check and balance the Wandao School, how can this understanding compare to one’s own safety? In order to overcome the Immortal Tribulations, even if it means clearly aiding the enemy, they must bite the bullet..."

The crowd exchanged thoughts through their divine sense, seeing the situation as clear as day.

The man in black’s face was as still as water, and without a word, he waved out another ray of golden light.

"Four cuts of Fusang Golden Crow Wood, plus one Great Sun Flame Spirit Fruit of the Eighth Order!"

The golden light landed on the stage, revealing another cut of divine wood and a Great Sun Spirit Fruit.

"An object of the Eighth Order?"

"Has it come to the last straw?"

The crowd glanced aside and then quickly turned back, not daring to speak further.

Feng Qingqing didn’t say much either, "Four cuts of Fusang Golden Crow Wood and one Great Sun Flame Spirit Fruit—does anyone else wish to bid?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

The auction house fell into silence, the person with the shaded face under the conical hat no longer spoke up.

Feng Qingqing was straightforward, "The first item—the Purple and Green Twin Swords—go to guest number thirteen!"

After speaking, with a wave of her sleeve, she collected the Fusang Golden Crow Wood and the Great Sun Flame Spirit Fruit, and delivered the Purple and Green Twin Swords and the two pieces of ancient stardust iron to the man in black and the mysterious person, respectively.

As the man in black looked at the Purple and Green Twin Swords that were now his, his heart was filled with mixed feelings. He glanced at the person wearing the conical hat and secretly took note of this matter.

As previously said, though the Sacred Places have an understanding to balance the Wandao School, an understanding is just that, a tacit agreement. When it comes to matters of the Dao and life and death, who would care about the greater picture?

It’s the same in this moment—four cuts of Fusang Golden Crow Wood plus a Great Sun Flame Spirit Fruit for a pair of superior-grade Purple and Green Twin Swords. Isn’t doing business with the Wandao School in this way outright aiding the enemy?

Indeed, it is aiding the enemy, but there’s no choice; this enemy must be supported. Without support, he wouldn’t be able to cross the tribulation himself.

If it’s so for him, it’s likely the same for that person; it’s not necessarily a shill from the Wandao School, but it could be some well-known old devil.

So, the pot can’t call the kettle black. What you do, I can do as well!

...

"Next, please welcome the second item up for auction—the Grass Return Elixir!"

Feng Qingqing smiled slightly as she presented the next auction item.

"This elixir was created by the Taoist Master of our academy, primarily using Seventh-Order Immortal Spirit Fruits, augmented by hundreds of herbs and flowers along with the Essence of Heaven and Earth. These three elixirs, each top quality, have reversing fate and life-restoring power, invaluable to both Mahayana cultivators and Calamity Immortals for their healing properties!"

"Beyond healing and restoring life, this elixir also boosts Spiritual Arts, improves Taoist Cultivation, purifies the Spiritual Root, and extends lifespan. If consumed by a Mahayana cultivator, even if one can’t break through the bottleneck to advance to the Tribulation Realm, it can still extend life for ten thousand years. If other cultivators take it, it can purify Mana and solidify the Immortal Spirit..."

"The three elixirs will be auctioned separately, with a starting price of one Ninth Order Spiritual Object each, and each increase in bid must be no less than one Eighth Order Spiritual Object!"

"Let the bidding begin now!"

"This..."

Before Feng Qingqing could finish, the crowd burst into an uproar once again!

"A supreme Immortal Elixir?"

"Actually a supreme Immortal Elixir!"

"Does that Xuanyuan Sword Master also practice Alchemy Skills?"

"Perfection in both Artifact Formation and the Way of the Elixir Cauldron, achieving Eighth Order, capable of concocting supreme Immortal Elixirs!"

"Who exactly is this sage?"

"Could it be a powerful being from the Upper Realm visiting the mortal world, or a mighty figure from the Central Region crossing the seas?"

"This Wandao School..."

As the crowd beheld the Grass Return Elixir displayed on the stage, their astonishment and doubt were unmistakable, and the Calamity Immortals were particularly shocked.

The higher one’s cultivation, the broader the scope of the world perceived, and the more acutely one is aware of one’s insignificance.

A newly ascended Calamity Immortal, proficient in Pills, Talismans, Tools, Formations; has mastered all these paths to the Eighth Order Realm?

The implication of this was something only a Calamity Immortal could truly appreciate!

Raising a tiger only to face its dangers?

There’s no need to raise it; the danger is already here!

After a dead silence, one person rose to his feet, an old man in grey, his aura of approaching death impossible to conceal, his eyes brimming with excitement: "One piece of Polar Ice Soul!"
