Chapter 1253 Re-Life Iron

Wang Wei stopped thinking and sipped his tea.

"Done?" Xiao Tiandi asked.

"Sorry about that."

"I understand," Xiao Tiandi nodded. He knew It was best to let his thoughts flow naturally when he got these sudden inspirations.

"So, what have you been up to?"

"You know, preparing for the future," Wang Wei replied vaguely.

"Is the Dao Opening Sect prepared to give you full support to fulfill your destiny?"

"Why do you want to know?" Wang Wei asked him.

"So, I was right. You're trying to keep them out of it," Xiao Tiandi said with a smirk.

"You know, I preferred you when you were silent and depressed."

"That's a low blow."

"I can go lower if you continue to test me," Wang Wei said, looking him calmly in the eyes.

Xiao Tiandi sighed before standing up. "Well, this was fun. Let's do it again another time." His body turned into a field of flowers as he flew into the sky, and his voice echoed:

"I once walked a lonely path, but now, it is illuminated by a flower that symbolizes beauty and wrath — a flower that I will go to any length to protect its laugh, including living my life in bloodbath."

"I smell trouble, so we should stay far away," the woman replied.

"You play it too safe," her partner countered. "That's fine and all, but if that is how we were going to operate, what was the point of coming to such a dangerous place?"

"There is a fine line between benefiting from danger and being swallowed by it. I feel this is one of the cases where we might get swallowed, so listen to me and stay away from that auction."

"Alright, alright, I'll listen to you," the man sighed.

'Re-life Iron?' Wang Wei thought with squinted eyes. This is another rare resource with many uses, the most important being the nemesis of longevity resources. Initially, this thing was used by people without access to a Dao Will to kill Emperors and above. They would seal the body in prisons built from Re-Life Iron, preventing the Emperor from reviving; the prison also made it easier to wash away the dead body's Dao Imprint.

Later, Re-Life Iron was further developed into the Re-Life Talisman, which can force someone with an extra life to revive directly in front of anyone who killed them. In other words, people would use the talisman to force people with extra lives to revive before them to kill them again, ensuring they are truly dead.

'The parasites outlawed Re-life Iron. Although they only reinforce the rules when the third-tier ones are discovered, their subordinate does reinforce the rest of this rule,' Wang Wei thought. 'So, why are those people so blatantly selling it?'

He was intrigued, so he participated in this banquet. He had to wait six months but decided to take a small vacation. Wang Wei bought a VIP lounge for the auction, but he also complained the price was too much. The receptionist explained that the price was due to the nature of what was being sold; however, he still felt it was needlessly pricey.

On the day of the auction, he waited and observed. The announcer/hostess was a beautiful woman with a goth vibe. She wore dark purple lipstick, long black nails, and a revealing winter fox coat. Why would a coat be revealing? No one knows, but that's how she was dressed, and the audience seemed to love it.

The first item was surprisingly Grade 7, meaning it was for people of Void Shattering Realm. Then, it slowly increased until Grade 10, when Wang Wei finally bought something. He fetched 3 of the 5 Heaven Wills they were selling. He did not fight for the remaining two because the people who wanted it seemed desperate, so despite the fact he could outbid them, he let it go — considering granting these two some blessing.

After his bid, someone brought him his things, and he paid; the process was simple and direct. As he held the Heaven Will, Wang Wei could not help but sigh. These things are fought after in the lower dimension, with everyone lusting and willing to do everything for one of them. However, in the upper dimension, it is a commodity — albeit rare, but still a commodity.

Wang Wei did not buy anything more, as even the things in the tier 11 section did not interest him. Then, it was the last object of the auction. The hostess waited a few seconds for someone to bring it out, but no one cared.

"Apologies, everyone, it seems there might be some issue. Give me a moment to resolve everything," the hostess announced as she bowed. "To compensate for this blander, everyone here will receive a 5% discount in all future auctions."

The crowd erupted in murmur, and the auctioneer walked behind the curtain, returning about three minutes later with the item floating behind her.

"Now, let's move on," she said, removing the red cover, showing black rock with white stripes running in a circular pattern. Countless divine senses checked this thing to ensure it was the real deal, and the auction allowed it since this was an unwritten rule of the auction business.

"You all know this thing's value so I won't repeat it," the auctioneer said. "For the starting bid..." she paused for dramatic purposes and to build suspense. "Your life." She said in a severe tone, her eyes full of disdain and killing intent

'As expected,' Wang Wei thought. A barrier suddenly surrounded the auction, and two armies wearing phoenix-designed armor rushed into the place and immediately attacked everyone present.
