Cultivation Online
Chapter 294
An hour after Xiao Hua started reading her book, she suddenly closed it and stopped reciting the technique.
"What do you think, Meixiu?" Yuan asked her afterward.
Meixiu shook her head and said, "I didn't understand a thing."
"That's completely expected since it normally takes months, even years to learn a cultivation technique at this level— that is unless you're Brother Yuan, of course." Xiao Hua said.
And she continued, "Although Xiao Hua appreciates Sister Meixiu for agreeing to help Xiao Hua with her legacy, Xiao Hua thinks you should find a more suitable cultivation technique."
"Eh? Shouldn't you give Meixiu some more time to learn the technique? I think it's still too early for her to give up." Yuan said.
However, Xiao Hua shook her head and said, "Xiao Hua can tell. Unlike Brother Yuan, Sister Meixiu was unable to remain focused the entire time. Even if she cannot learn the technique in a few hours like Brother Yuan, she should at least have the ability to remain focused."
"When one cannot remain focused during a certain cultivation technique, it usually means they are not suited for the cultivation technique, so they won't learn it no matter how long they study it." Feng Yuxiang suddenly jumped in.
"I also tried to learn the technique but was unable to focus even slightly so I gave up after a few minutes." Feng Yuxiang shrugged.
"That's because you're a Divine Beast. Only human cultivators are able to learn Xiao Hua's technique," she said.
"What kind of cultivation is it, anyway? I'm kind of interested." Feng Yuxiang said.
However, Xiao Hua shook her head and said, "It's a secret."
"Sorry, Meixiu, but I guess you can only cultivate the basic cultivation technique for now until we find you a more suitable cultivation technique," Yuan said to Meixiu.
"I don't mind," she said in a calm voice.
Sometime later, Yuan and Meixiu logged off the game.
After logging off, Meixiu went to cook dinner while Yuan cultivated in his room.
Once dinner was served, Meixiu went to sleep. As for Yuan, he spent the entire night cultivating like usual.
The following morning, after breakfast, Meixiu took her laptop to Yuan's room and said, "The auction will start in a few minutes."
"How much do you think we'll be able to sell the Frozen Jade Zither for?" Yuan asked her.
"Who knows, but it should be more than enough to support us for a very long time," Meixiu said as she pulled up the website.
The first thing that popped up when she entered the website was the words 'Divine-grade Treasure Auction'. Upon clicking this pop-up, she was immediately taken to the auction.
[Frozen Jade Zither]
[Grade: Divine]
[Quality: Low]
[Type of treasure: Instrument]
[Requirements: 35,000 Mental Strength, 50,000 Soul Strength]
[Description: Obtained from an event]
[Time limit: 7 days]
[Starting Price: 100,000,000]
[Minimal Bid: 100,000]
[Time until auction starts: 14:39]
[Current Bidders: 150,241,777]
"Wow, there are over 150 million people on this page as of this moment," Meixiu mumbled as she watched the number increase by thousands with every passing second.
However, despite the massive amount of 'bidders' there, the majority of them were only there to spectate the real bidders fight each other for the first Divine-grade treasure ever being sold.
Meanwhile, across the world, news outlets and online streamers were all focused on the auction.
As the timer approached zero, the anticipation from people around the world only heightened.
By the time there was only one minute left, the auction had amassed a grand total of 300 million 'bidders', breaking the website's record by ten folds, and this number would only increase.
[0:04]
[0:03]
[0:02]

[Auction begins!]
The second the auction started, the 100,000,000 starting price suddenly jumped up by a massive 10 million dollars!
[Ling Family has bid 110,000,000!]
[110,000,000]
However, not even ten seconds later, the number jumped again!
[Anonymous has bid 125,000,000!]
[125,000,000]
The number continued to grow with every passing minute, and in just ten short minutes, the price for the Frozen Jade Zither had reached 200,000,000 dollars!
[Yu Family has bid 200,000,000!]
Furthermore, in order to bid in an auction, one must actually have the funds available and ready in their account!
The explosive increase shocked the majority of the spectators, but in the eyes of these wealthy families, the fight was just beginning!
The website reached a peak of 500 million 'bidders' an hour after the auction started, slowly decreasing once the bidding also slowed down.
[Lotus Family has bid 258,000,000!]
[Chen Family has bid 258,500,000!]
[DreamSlayer has bid 260,000,000!]
[Anonymous has bid 261,000,000!]
"It's already at 260 million, Yuan," Meixiu said to him in a calm voice.
While the number may seem astronomical to the average person, in Meixiu's eyes, who has seen larger numbers, she didn't show too much reaction to it.
As for Yuan, who used to earn similar numbers in a month from playing professionally also didn't show much excitement when he heard the amount. In his mind, he only needed enough money to support himself and Meixiu.
"I see… Anyways, there are still seven days. Let's leave it for now." Yuan said.
"Okay."
After closing her laptop, Meixiu helped Yuan enter the game before she went to her own room and entered the game herself.
Inside the game, Yuan said to Meixiu, "I will be participating in the Mystic Realm in a few days, but we will be leaving the sect sometime today. Do you want to come with me, Meixiu?"
Meixiu nodded, "Yes."
After all, if she's not with Yuan, she has nowhere else to go, nor was there anything for her to do.
Sometime later, Yuan could feel the communication jade slip in his pocket tremble.
"Disciple Yuan, please come to the sect master's headquarters. We're going to be leaving the sect in an hour." Elder Xuan's voice resounded from the jade slip.
"Okay," Yuan replied before leaving his living quarters with Meixiu shortly after.
