Chapter 408: Chapter 408: The Soil of the Secret Realm Origin

"There’s nothing worth buying anymore, and it’s about time we head back," Su Mulan said.

This was already the last item on auction, no need to stay any longer.

However, at this moment, Xiao Zhan suddenly shouted, "I bid eleven million."

Eleven million?

The sudden bid left Su Mulan and Liu Xin somewhat unable to react.

"Do you want to buy this clump of soil?" Su Mulan asked in surprise.

"Yes," Xiao Zhan said.

Su Mulan, puzzled, said, "This soil is merely infused with more, purer energy. Why do you want it? Liu Xin also said it’s nothing special. With that money, you might as well buy a Fire Spirit Fruit for your wife."

Su Mulan’s words carried her personal feelings, and it was evident she still held some opinions about Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan didn’t care, simply stating, "My wife also wants this soil."

Ye Youlong wants it too?

Not believing it, Su Mulan turned to look at Ye Youlong, only to see his expression as calm as ever.

Showing neither desire nor aversion.

She knew, that was a lie from Xiao Zhan.

But she didn’t know what to say, as she was an outsider and some matters weren’t appropriate for her to comment on. Moreover, she genuinely didn’t know why Xiao Zhan wanted to buy this batch of soil.

Buy it as a gift for a lover?

That’s a lot of soil though.

She looked at Liu Xin and couldn’t help but ask again, "Are you sure this thing has nothing special?"

She felt Liu Xin might have lied to her, this thing must have some special use, just that its use might be somewhat shady.

Otherwise, Xiao Zhan wouldn’t play the fool like this.

"There’s nothing," Liu Xin replied.

She was equally puzzled as to why Xiao Zhan wanted to buy this thing.

To her, it indeed wasn’t anything special, just a plain thing with high energy purity, nothing more.

But Xiao Zhan’s firm expression let her know he wasn’t buying this out of mere curiosity.

There must be some other reason.

She thought maybe her Talent Ability wasn’t enough to see through the potential of this thing, but Xiao Zhan could.

That’s why Xiao Zhan wanted to buy it.

Her gaze fixed on Xiao Zhan, with tension and loss hard to conceal in her eyes. Now that Xiao Zhan’s abilities had surpassed her own, did she really have no chance of forming a Contract with Xiao Zhan?

Seeing Liu Xin’s expression, Su Mulan suddenly realized, Liu Xin definitely lied to her.

That thing does have a special purpose!

She knew, Xiao Zhan knew, it was only Ye Youlong who didn’t know.

Great.

It was infuriating!

She turned her head to Ye Youlong, don’t you really have any reactions at all?

After Xiao Zhan made his bid, no one else bid anymore.

Because everyone felt this thing wasn’t worth that much money, and who knew what the auction house was thinking, setting such a high price.

Only Xiao Zhan knew, this soil was actually very valuable!

Valuable enough that even if it cost a billion, Xiao Zhan would still take it!

The reason being simple: he felt the same aura from this soil as he had from the lake water in the Fushan Secret Realm.

Basically, this soil could very likely be the same as the lake water, both possibly being Secret Realm Origin!

But he couldn’t be sure yet, only testing would tell.

Because the Secret Realm Origin is hard to detect; it only shows abnormal phenomena once or twice. If not discovered then, it’s difficult to find again.

To discover it otherwise, one would need to analyze the energy purity of the target.

But this can’t be certain either, only used as a filter.

Because high energy purity is almost a hallmark of high-grade objects, higher grade naturally means higher purity. So you can’t conclude it’s Secret Realm Origin just because it contains high purity energy.

However, Xiao Zhan could make a judgment, or rather, he had an intuition about it.

After all, he had absorbed Secret Realm Origin twice and had a certain understanding of it in his Perception.

He snapped up this thing now to test whether it truly was Secret Realm Origin.

If it was, he would make a huge profit.

If not, he wouldn’t lose anything.

Soon, the item was sold, and within minutes, the clump of soil was delivered to him.

He didn’t test it on the spot but put it into the Dimension Space instead, then said to everyone, "The auction is over, we should head back too."

Su Mulan also truly wanted to return now, she needed to have a good talk with Liu Xin, to persuade her to turn back while it’s not too late and not to do something impossible.

Soon, everyone returned to the courtyard.

Xiao Zhan was prepared to talk with Liu Xin, but Su Mulan, right in front of her, briskly took Liu Xin away.

This made Xiao Zhan feel somewhat inexplicably weird, thinking this woman was a bit crazy.

Well, let it be, it’s good for testing the soil anyway.

Xiao Zhan went back to his room.

Took out the clump of soil, then pulled out a seed from the Dimension Space.

This seed was given to him by the White Emperor Spirit Academy’s dean, a shriveled seed that absorbed the entire origin of the Fushan Secret Realm, which then sprouted a little.

Later, Xiao Zhan had tried to irrigate this seed with other energy fluids, but it didn’t absorb anything.

Then Xiao Zhan used the lake water from the Fushan Secret Realm for irrigation (he had filled a water bed with it at the time, so there was some left), and the seed immediately absorbed it.

Xiao Zhan instantly understood, this seed, rejecting all energies, only absorbed Secret Realm Origin!

Goodness, it was like dining on gold every meal, such a picky way to grow, who could afford it?

But it also had its benefits, which was that Xiao Zhan could use it to determine whether something was really Secret Realm Origin or not.

He placed the seed into the soil and released his Perception, quietly observing the changes in the soil.

But as soon as the seed touched the soil, like a sponge meeting water, it immediately absorbed.

Invisible, a stream of energy entered the seed from the soil.

The soil immediately started to wither at a visible rate, and soon, the once fertile black soil turned into nutrient-poor yellow soil.

"It’s absorbing so quickly, just like a starving ghost reborn."

Xiao Zhan took back the seed, saw there was almost no change in it.

Goodness, not only a starving ghost but also a big stomach king!

He threw away the useless soil, regardless of whether it was yellow soil or black soil, if only there were Stanley to fertilize it. Too bad, this world didn’t have Stanley, otherwise, it would be worth a try.

"This soil is from a new Secret Realm, should we ask which Secret Realm it is?" Ye Youlong asked beside him.
