Only this time, the descending lightning's power was pitifully small, almost as thin as a chopstick.
Zhu Fei hardly used any divine skills or magical treasures, relying solely on the strength of his physical body to directly catch this lightning.
Simultaneously, the clouds in the sky began to disperse. In no time, it returned to its original appearance.
Zhu Fei first closed his eyes to feel carefully. After a short while, he opened them again, washed himself with clear water, and returned to the Tianxi Inn.
As soon as Zhu Fei returned to Tianxi Inn, he overheard a conversation among some cultivators about an auction.
Originally, Zhu Fei wasn't particularly interested in auctions anymore.
But this time was different because he heard the name of an item, the Nameless Heavenly Book, which was related to the Death Law.
This immediately reminded Zhu Fei of his own Death Heavenly Book. Could the Nameless Heavenly Book being promoted at the auction be exactly the Death Heavenly Book he was searching for?
At this thought, Zhu Fei could no longer remain calm.
Because he knew that if the Nameless Heavenly Book was indeed a remnant of the Death Heavenly Book, it was of great significance to him.
Without hesitation, he approached the cultivators who were chatting and said with cupped fists:
"Fellow Daoists, greetings. I overheard you mentioning that the Qiushui Auction might feature a Nameless Heavenly Book. Could you tell me if there's any connection between it and the legendary Death Heavenly Book?"
A red-haired man glanced at Zhu Fei and sneered:
"Daoist friend, I think you're overthinking it. What is the Death Heavenly Book? It's one of the legendary Thirty-Three Heavens Treasures. How could it be linked to a Nameless Heavenly Book?"
"That's right. Although I've also heard someone associate the Nameless Heavenly Book with the Death Heavenly Book, in my opinion, the two cannot be compared."
A yellow-faced man interjected.
A hint of disappointment flashed in Zhu Fei's eyes, "Oh, so it's just rumors. I thought the Qiushui Auction was generous enough to auction off one of the Thirty-Three Heavens Treasures, the Death Heavenly Book."
"Heh!" The red-haired man laughed lightly. "Daoist friend, you might not be aware, but if the Nameless Heavenly Book were really the Death Heavenly Book, the Qiushui Auction couldn't possibly keep it.
Because with the allure of the Thirty-Three Heavens Treasures, even Immortal Emperors wouldn't be able to resist."
The yellow-faced man added: "But still, according to the rumors from Qiushui Auction, even if the Nameless Heavenly Book isn't the Death Heavenly Book, its value likely isn't less than a top-grade Immortal Artifact.
Oh, Daoist friend, if you're interested in the auction, you can go and have a look, as there will be many other items besides the Nameless Heavenly Book."
"Indeed, I heard there might be female cultivators with special physiques up for auction."
The red-haired man added with a slightly mischievous smile.
Zhu Fei frowned. Honestly, he couldn't stand the idea of selling people like goods.
Yet, every place has its own rules. Even if he didn't like it, he wouldn't interfere, as it didn't concern him.
After thinking for a moment, he continued, "By the way, fellow Daoists, what are the conditions to participate in the Qiushui Auction? Are there any special rules?"
Both the red-haired man and the yellow-faced man were taken aback, and the red-haired man finally spoke:
"There aren't any special restrictions or rules to participate in the Qiushui Auction. You just need to submit no less than ten thousand mid-grade Immortal Realms.
Oh, and to participate in the bidding, you must use high-grade Immortal Realms. Low-grade and mid-grade Immortal Realms won't be recognized by the auction house."
"Oh, is that so?"
Zhu Fei was surprised but quickly understood and thanked the two again.
"Thank you, fellow Daoists. When is the auction going to start?"
"In three days, at the Qiushui Commerce in Qiushui City," the yellow-faced man said with a smile.
Zhu Fei nodded, thanked them again, and returned to his room.
Zhu Fei decided to attend the Qiushui Auction in three days.
No matter whether the Nameless Heavenly Book is a remnant of the Death Heavenly Book, he must find out more about it, just in case.
If it is, and he misses it, wouldn't that be a big loss?
By then, gathering the remnants of the Death Heavenly Book would probably become much harder.
Thinking of this, Zhu Fei calmed down and began to consolidate his current cultivation.
...
Three days quickly passed.
Zhu Fei rose from meditation and left the Tianxi Inn. Following the directions he previously learned, he soon found the Qiushui Commerce.
Upon arriving, a servant greeted him.
Zhu Fei straightforwardly expressed his intent and presented ten thousand mid-grade Immortal Realms.
The servant, seeing the Immortal Realms, nodded immediately and said, "Follow me," leading the way to the auction hall.
Entering the auction hall, the servant turned and asked, "Daoist friend, are you planning to participate directly in the hall or do you want a private box?"
"Give me a private box. By the way, what is the price for the best box?"
Zhu Fei didn't waste words, directly stating his question.
Upon hearing Zhu Fei's question, the servant's eyes lit up and he promptly replied, "Daoist friend, the price for our best box is one hundred thousand high-grade Immortal Realms.
If you want something a bit more modest, that would be thirty thousand high-grade Immortal Realms. Which one would you like?"
"Hmm, give me the one for one hundred thousand."
The servant's eyes brightened even more, and he immediately became more enthusiastic, saying:
"Sure, Daoist friend, you want the one hundred thousand high-grade Immortal Realms box. No problem, please follow me."
Saying this, the servant led Zhu Fei to the entrance of an extremely lavishly decorated private box.
