An excited young Demi-God spoke up in his group, his voice barely containing his enthusiasm.
"Just our luck!" he exclaimed, practically bouncing on his feet. "We really managed to make it in time for Valley City's auction. It's been confirmed in this auction a Hundred Blossom Flower will come. I know we can't even dream about having it, but just seeing it, sensing it from afar..."
He paused, his eyes wide with wonder. "I heard that past cultivators had mental breakthroughs right on the spot!"
"Hmph. It's only natural," a maiden in the group snorted, though her tone betrayed her own excitement. She tossed her hair, trying to appear nonchalant, but her eyes sparkled with anticipation. "After all, from what I read, this is a Thousand Flower that has direct ties to the Origin Valley Emperor. Whoever gets this flower will be so pleased."
