103: Bamboo root system

“Eight thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, going once, going twice, going three times.”

“Sold!”

As Long Xinyue struck the gavel, Lin Yucheng finally successfully bid for the Mystic Marrow Liquid.

The Auction continued, and Lin Yucheng frequently made bids, choosing to spend Spirit Stones to acquire any suitable resources.

The door to Private Room Four was knocked, and Li Qiuniang proactively opened it.

“Esteemed guest, this is the Mystic Marrow Liquid you bid on. Subsequent auctioned items will also be delivered by a dedicated person.”

This was the treatment for private rooms; as long as one had enough Spirit Stones, they could bid for any item without anyone knowing.

The Auction was still ongoing.

“Next, please look at the tenth auctioned item—”

As soon as her voice fell, a new stone platform rose, holding an exquisite brocade box.

Looking closely, the brocade box contained four tender green tea leaves.

Clouds and mist swirled around the tea leaves, Spiritual Qi permeated the air, presenting a profoundly mysterious appearance.

Long Xinyue's delicate lips parted, “thousand-year cloud mist tea Leaves. These are the finest among thousand-year spiritual plants.”

“According to the authoritative testing of the Long Family Auction House, thousand-year cloud mist tea Leaves can effectively enhance a Cultivator’s Divine Sense strength, with very significant effects.”

“In other words, you won't need to specifically Cultivate any Cultivation Technique to enhance Divine Sense; your Divine Sense will far surpass Cultivators of the same Realm, giving you the initiative in combat.”

“Besides this effect, thousand-year cloud mist tea also has another efficacy, which is to resist Heart Demons.”

“As everyone knows, when Cultivators advance to the Golden Core Stage, they must undergo the trial of Heart Demons. If they cannot pass this hurdle, they will be plagued by Heart Demons for a long time, and their Realm will stagnate.”

“However, by simply drinking a cup of thousand-year cloud mist tea, there will be no need to worry about Heart Demon issues during advancement.”

As the Young Miss of the Dragon Family, Long Xinyue had extensive knowledge, and her explanation was very convincing. Everyone was shocked upon hearing her introduce the efficacy of this thousand-year cloud mist tea.

“Hiss~”

Sounds of gasps continuously echoed in the hall.

“There are a total of four thousand-year cloud mist tea Leaves. The starting bid is twenty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, and each increment must not be less than one thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.”

Lin Yucheng's eyes widened. This Long Family Auction House really knew how to do business, setting the starting bid for four Cloud Mist Tea Leaves at twenty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

However, Lin Yucheng was happy to see this, as it was closely related to his interests.

“I bid twenty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.”

“Twenty-one thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.”

“Twenty-three thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.”

“Twenty-four thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.”

“Private Room One bids thirty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.”

“Another big shot from a private room has made a bid. Will no one dare to bid again this time?”

Many Cultivators in the hall speculated.

However, this time, the numerous Cultivators were not deterred; many of them spoke up again to increase their bids.

“Thirty-one thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.”

“Thirty-two thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.”

...

Inside Private Room One.

A middle-aged man in a black robe sat casually on a grand armchair, manipulating the miniature Magical Array in front of him. He had just entered a price, but it was quickly drowned out by a higher bid.

He had initially thought his bid would be like Private Room Four's, where no one would dare to bid again, but he didn't expect someone to immediately raise the price.

However, his eyes were still burning with desire; he was determined to get these thousand-year cloud mist tea Leaves.

The black-robed man was also at a critical stage of Breakthrough to the Golden Core Stage. He had been at this Bottleneck for a long time, and with these few tea leaves, the probability of Breakthrough would greatly increase.

“Private Room One bids forty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.”

The mechanical synthesized voice had no emotion, but the number it reported was startling.

“I bid forty-one thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.”

In the hall, a Foundation Establishment Stage Great Perfection Cultivator generously made a bid. He was below the Auction stage, and from his demeanor, his status seemed quite high.

“Private Room One bids forty-five thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.”

The electronic synthesized voice was still his response.

The Foundation Establishment Stage Great Perfection Cultivator in the front row gritted his teeth and still resolutely shouted, “I bid forty-six thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.”

He silently prayed in his heart, hoping no one would raise the price again, otherwise he wouldn't be able to keep up.

However, that mechanical voice shattered his illusion.

“Private Room One bids fifty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.”

When Long Xinyue's jade hand brought down the gavel, announcing that the owner of Private Room One had ultimately won the four thousand-year cloud mist tea Leaves.

Everyone present was moved.

This was just a Spirit Medicine, not a Third-Grade Medicinal Pill, yet it sold for such a high price.

They remembered that the finalFinale (main event) of the previous few Auctions hadn't sold for such a high price, making the numerous Cultivators even more excited for the upcoming auctioned items.

Long Xinyue's face was beaming with smiles; she was very happy to see such a lively scene.

Lin Yucheng was also the same, his lips slightly curled up.

Fifty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, of which forty-seven thousand five hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones belonged to him.

“Next is the eleventh auctioned item—a bag of [Calming Grass Seeds].”

“Calming Grass can calm the mind and stabilize the spirit, and it also has the effect of resisting Heart Demon intrusions.”

“Starting bid—two thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, each increment must not be less than three hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones.”

Calming Grass could be said to be a 'beggar's version' of thousand-year cloud mist tea, and what was presented were merely spiritual plant seeds.

spiritual plant seeds take a long time to grow into mature spiritual plants, and Calming Grass is not that easy to Cultivate either.

In the entire Yang City region, no Family was renowned for Spiritual Plant Masters, so most Cultivators seemed uninterested.

Lin Yucheng did not rush to bid, only listening to a few scattered bids.

“Private Room Four bids four thousand two hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones.”

Lin Yucheng made his bid at the opportune moment, and no one else followed, so the Calming Grass was now in his hands.

Although these were only Calming Grass seeds, he believed that with his Family's strength, they could be cultivated in a short period.

The Auction continued, with numerous auctioned items dazzling the Cultivators in the hall, who only regretted not having prepared enough Spirit Stones.

This Auction had already lasted for more than half a day.

During this time, the other few thousand-year purple jade fruits and several thousand-year cloud mist tea Leaves that Lin Yucheng had given to Long Xinyue were also auctioned off separately.

Although they didn't fetch the same price as the first one, the profits were still substantial.

“The forty-fifth auctioned item—the [Nether Bamboo Root System].”

On the stone platform, a section of bamboo slowly rose. This bamboo section was purplish-black, and strange runes faintly shimmered within it.

“This root system is alive, which means that with proper cultivation, countless Nether Spirit Bamboo can grow from it.”

“This Nether Spirit Bamboo can be used as a Material to forge Magical Artifacts and even Spiritual Artifacts. Even many Golden Core Immortal Masters' Lifebound Treasures use it as the main Material.”

Lin Yucheng had never heard of Nether Spirit Bamboo, but since it was a spiritual plant, he certainly wouldn't let it go, especially one with such cultivation value.
