That catalog only had a short introduction to it: "A walnut of unknown variety, extremely hard."

The accompanying picture was something very similar to a walnut, but faintly glowing with a green light.

Chen Xiao recognized it at a glance. This was not a walnut at all. He hadn't even expected to find something like this on Earth.

This thing was called 'Tianqing Grass Seed' (Heavenly Azure Grass Seed). As the name implied, it was the seed of a plant called Tianqing Grass.

In the immortal cultivation world of Chen Xiao's dreams, Tianqing Grass was a very common plant.

However, it was not a spirit herb, nor could it be refined into pills to aid cultivation.

However, it was deeply loved by female cultivators because it possessed a certain characteristic.

Tianqing Grass Seeds constantly emitted a faint fragrance. The aroma was extremely elegant and had a refreshing effect.

If 'Tianqing Liquid' (Heavenly Azure Liquid) was extracted from it, it would be a rare perfume, many times more advanced than the synthetic perfumes currently on Earth.

Chen Xiao thought that if he made it into perfume and gave it to Li Ziqing, she would be very happy… and Wu Feier should also get a share.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao was determined to get this Tianqing Grass Seed.

At this time, the auction had already begun.

As Chen Xiao expected, the first few auction items were all ordinary, run-of-the-mill goods.

Of course, this was only from Chen Xiao's perspective.

For ordinary people, especially those wealthy people who liked to pose as cultured, these antiques and porcelain worth millions were still very valuable for collection.

The cultivators present were like Chen Xiao, with no interest in these antiques and porcelain. They had obviously heard that magical artifacts would appear at the auction, and they were all here for that.

Soon, it was Tianqing Grass Seed's turn to appear.

Because there were no comparison objects in the pictures, everyone realized after seeing the real thing that this was not a walnut at all!

This seed was only about one-third the size of a regular walnut, not much bigger than a fingernail.

Moreover, its appearance was not very good. Even those who liked to play with beads were not interested in it.

So Chen Xiao easily won it, spending only slightly more than the starting price, because no one was bidding against him at all.

Even though it was only slightly higher than the starting price, it was still hundreds of thousands of yuan. Everyone looked at him with strange eyes, wondering where this sucker came from. Spending hundreds of thousands of yuan to buy this useless thing, was his family's money blown in by the wind?

Hua Ge even said repeatedly, "Bro, if you like walnuts, you should have said so earlier. I have a friend who has a lot of good stuff, Lion's Head, Tongtian Pagoda, Taihang Dragon Pattern... I can get you anything you want."

Chen Xiao smiled and did not explain anything.

However, Old Huang knew that this matter must not be that simple, and he quietly asked, "Mr. Chen, what kind of treasure is this walnut?"

Chen Xiao shook his head: "It can't be considered a treasure, but it is somewhat useful to me."

At this moment, the sexy waitress had already brought the Tianqing Grass Seed to Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao took it and took a look, and was slightly disappointed.

Because this Tianqing Grass Seed was completely dead, without even a trace of vitality.

If it were still alive, it could be used to plant a Tianqing Grass. After reproduction, there would be an inexhaustible supply of Tianqing Grass Seeds in the future.

But it didn't matter if it was dead. With this one, he could extract enough Tianqing Liquid.

The perfume made from this not only has a fresh and elegant fragrance, but also has the effect of calming the nerves, refreshing the mind, repelling mosquitoes, and purifying the spirit.

Chen Xiao knew that Li Ziqing was a workaholic. With this, she would at least no longer have to rely on coffee to refresh herself in the future.

As the auction drew to a close, the climax finally arrived.

"Everyone, I think you've already heard that a magical artifact will appear at this auction."

The auctioneer said loudly, with a mysterious smile on his face.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, several people who had been keeping their eyes closed to rest their minds suddenly opened their eyes, with excitement on their faces.

In order to maintain mystery, the previous catalog did not introduce the magical artifact, which can be said to have whetted everyone's appetite.

However, this was also a common trick of auction houses, and everyone was used to it.

"Then next, it's time for this magical artifact to appear!"

As he spoke, the auctioneer stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

Immediately afterwards, a sexy and hot waitress walked onto the stage carrying a tray.

The tray was covered with a red velvet cloth, like a bride's red veil.

"I believe everyone has been waiting impatiently, so I won't say any more!"

The auctioneer stepped forward and uncovered the red cloth, revealing a jade Ruyi (scepter), about the size of a forearm, lying quietly on the tray.

"Auction item: magical artifact Jade Ruyi, starting price 10 million, each bid increase shall not be less than 1 million!"

With this sentence from the auctioneer, Hua Ge's eyes straightened: "Are you kidding me? Ten million, how is this jade worth so much money?"

Although Hua Ge had become a hall leader, he still had a poor man's mindset. He had never seen ten million yuan in his life, and he was immediately frightened by this number.

However, those cultivators were eager for it.

"Twenty million!"

"Thirty million!"

"Thirty-five million!"

"Fifty million!"

…

The auction price soared, and almost in an instant, it broke through the 50 million mark.

Hua Ge was dumbfounded. He felt that these people must be crazy.

Old Huang glanced at Chen Xiao: "Mr. Chen, do you want to make a move?"

What he meant was that if Chen Xiao made a move, he wouldn't compete.

Chen Xiao casually glanced at it a few times. It was indeed a magical artifact, with inscriptions and array symbols engraved on it, but the quality of this magical artifact was not very high.

Moreover, the array symbols were consumable, which meant that this magical artifact had a limited number of uses.

After the number of uses was exhausted, the Jade Ruyi would shatter and become scrap.

In short, this magical artifact was very useless.

However, not all cultivators had Chen Xiao's eyesight.

Magical artifacts were extremely precious in the cultivation world. If one could possess a handy magical artifact, one's actual combat ability could be doubled.

The reason why Old Huang could be on par with Xu Banxian, who had a higher cultivation level than him, was because he had an ancestral magical artifact in his hand.

Therefore, without knowing the truth, those cultivators were still frantically bidding, and in the blink of an eye, it had broken through the 100 million mark.

Chen Xiao had originally planned to give up, but on a whim, he released his divine sense and enveloped the Jade Ruyi.

In an instant, Chen Xiao's expression changed drastically.

"Old Huang, don't compete for this Jade Ruyi, because I'm determined to have it!"

Chen Xiao said without hesitation.
