After the commotion about the jade slips, a few other items are sold before the final item of the day is revealed, the host turning all serious as she starts introducing the item.
“Esteemed guest of tonight, we’ve finally reached the main attraction of this event, most probably the thing that made nearly all of the guests tonight to participate in this event” the host said as she signals towards the men hidden behind the stage, prompting these men to carry a small box, its size only reaching the average adult woman, making the uninformed ones to be curious just what it contains.
“Let’s not waste any more time building up a suspenseful atmosphere, guests, the last item for tonight’s auction, a set of Trinity Cleansing Fruit” the host said, the silence ensuing after her announcement enough for anyone to hear a pin drop into the floor, their expressions and reactions more than understandable as even Wu Xiaotian is surprised, but for a completely different reason.
[Buy it]
Reading the simple words written in the semi-transparent golden screen of the Universal Shop System, he couldn’t help but become shocked, wondering just why the system wants him to buy that.
’Is that fruit so rare that even the system doesn’t have─’ before he could finish what he’s thinking about, the system screen already navigates itself towards the location of the fruit in the shop, the display clearly showcasing what he thought otherwise.
[Trinity Cleansing Fruit (Advance Grade Celestial Treasure) (10,000,000 Universal Coins)]
[Upon consumption, shatters the consumer’s entire cultivation base safely, using the qi of the consumer’s entire cultivation base to nourish their foundations, making it stronger and causing an all-around rebirth, restarting the consumer’s cultivation with strength and power far greater than their previous one]
[Note: The improvement of the consumer’s foundation relies on the quality of the qi in proportion to their current realm rather than its quantity, so the realm of cultivation of the consumer won’t matter in the improvement of their foundations meaning the fruit affects a Qi Refining Realm Cultivator and Ascension Realm Cultivator all the same]
’That is an absurd item’ Wu Xiaotian thought to himself as he observes the fruit displayed in the stage, the price of it on the system, as well as it uses creating an irrefutable fact that he must get all ten of them at all cast.
“Esteemed guest, as all of you knows, the Trinity Cleansing Fruit is a divine fruit capable of cleaning not only a cultivator’s meridians, but also the cultivators body and soul, and this effect is more than powerful enough to make even the worst cultivator to be born anew as a genius of their generation” the host explained, the greedy eyes of the people glowing bright as they openly expresses their desire for the fruit, only for them to smile in dismay later as they know completely that the top tier forces are definitely going to be the ones that acquire these fruits.
’Why is their description of the fruit completely different from your description’ Wu Xiaotian asked, the system replying by showing another screen.
[Because the people of this world do not have the techniques in the system database, hence the failure to completely utilize the Trinity Cleansing Fruit’s effects]
’What technique do I need in order for me to use them then?’ Wu Xiaotian asked curiously, the reply of the system shocking him even more.
[The fruit is not meant for the user but rather for the shared user, as there will only be zero to extremely miniscule effect to the user given the user ’s talents]
Hearing this, Wu Xiaotian is quite disappointed, but only for a moment, recovering quickly as he noticed another thing worth mentioning, prompting him to ask in his mind again.
’Since when did you start caring about my family?’ Wu Xiaotian asked, not a single bit of wariness and suspicion in his eyes as there’s something within him that tells him that the Universal Shop System is worth trusting, the system only replying a few moments later, almost as if it’s starting to consider whether to continue this conversation or not.
[Since the time you start placing more importance to them than your own life]
’Now you sound extremely human’ despite being surprised by the system’s answer, Wu Xiaotian replied, more like joking with a friend rather than anything else, smiling as he thought that they really think alike.
[That’s because I… Forget it, you will know soon enough]
After these words, the system returns into silence again, the semi-transparent floating golden screen returns into acting in a perfunctionary manner.
“The owner of this fruit seems to have gone through a lot of trouble to get these fruits, and as a long-time friend of our Heavenly Secret Tower, we granted them the chance to change the rules, and only an appropriate item can be traded for the guests to acquire the fruits” the host said causing the crowd to go wild, the normal people regaining hope to acquire this mystical item.
“If I may ask, what is that senior’s condition for trading” a figure braved asking the ultimate question, making all the other people look at them with a hint of approval in their eyes.
Hearing the question, the host smiles before replying, the content of her voice drifting through the people’s mind, causing those hopeful ones to plummet into despair again as she said, “That senior wants anything that can repair the soul of a Half-step Celestial Realm expert, the more effective it is the better, and all of the fruit will be given to the one with the highest quality item of that category”

While the answer causes most of the people pity and despair, one young man, surrounded by five beautiful figures, had his eyes glow, completely aware that he had this on the bag already, immediately opening the system’s shop and searching for the highest quality soul related pill within the Half-step Celestial Realm, making him smile as he found exactly what he’s looking for.
[Soul Mending Pill (Half step Celestial Grade) (100,000 Universal Coins)]
[A pill that can completely mend any damage in the soul as long as the consumer’s cultivation is no higher than the Half step Celestial Realm, the process only taking a few minutes to complete and without any side effects on the consumer]
Moving decisively, Wu Xiaotian immediately purchased one Soul Mending Pill, taking it out to observe it for a while causing the ladies around him to focus on him, looking extremely confident while observing the pill in his hands, only his mother and paternal grandmother knowing the reason why he’s acting like that. freewebnσvel.cѳm
’I should also give them a shared user privilege for the system’ Wu Xiaotian thought to himself as his gaze moves across his maternal grandmother, Li Yan and Hua Xian’er, deciding to give them a shared user access to the system and explaining all of its uses to them as well.
As he thought about a good timing to inform them of that, the crowd already starts taking out all sorts of treasure even the young geniuses from powerful forces chipping in their offers in hopes of winning the fruits, the owner of the fruits clearly not even considering those things as there’s not even a single notice that could be a sign of the owner of the fruit’s interest.
After waiting for silence to ensue for a bit, Wu Xiaotian opens his mouth, his voice reverberating across the building for the first time since the start of the auction.
