The item was finally his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, the Spirit Treasure Fragment—as it was known to outsiders—was brought over by the Commerce Association Steward and his men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Changqing paid the bill, grabbed the pearl, and absorbed it directly into his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep within his sea of consciousness, the Era Star Palace spat out a chaotic Spiritual Light that enveloped the pearl, directly melting, refining, and devouring it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A silent message, exuding a mysterious Dao Rhyme, appeared:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Master of the Era Star Palace: Ling Changqing]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Bone Age: 45\u002F997]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Cultivation: Early stage Golden Core]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Destiny: 195+457]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Blessed Fortune: 186+343]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Changqing’s expression froze for a moment before wild joy surged through his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After refining the Ancient Spiritual Treasure fragment, the Era Star Palace seemed to have taken a powerful tonic. Its Luck and Fortune had increased by fifty points, and Ling Changqing’s own Luck and Fortune had also seen a significant boost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another change was that the Grotto Heaven Blessed Land inside the Era Star Palace was slowly expanding. It grew from its original two-li radius to five li before stabilizing again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This thing is quite good. It saved me at least two hundred years of recovery time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong Ling said, still savoring the feeling. Her appearance was more vivid and bright, and her aura had grown even stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, there will be more opportunities like this in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Changqing said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong Ling nodded, sized him up for a moment, and continued,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, you now have two choices. The first is to gain another five hundred years of Lifespan. The second is to upgrade your Spirit Root Talent to a Celestial Grade Spirit Root. Which will you choose?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both choices would benefit Ling Changqing immensely, but the latter was clearly more significant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Changqing mused, \"In that case, I’ll choose the Spirit Root Talent?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gong Ling nodded slightly. With a wave of her hand, a brilliant, magnificent, and mysteriously profound chaotic starlight descended, enveloping Ling Changqing within it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Spirit Root: Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Bottom Grade Celestial Rank 2\u002F50000]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The benefits of a Celestial Grade Spirit Root Talent were self-evident. It meant Ling Changqing’s future growth would be faster, and his path would be smooth all the way to the Divinity Transformation Realm, free of any bottlenecks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even among the top factions in Yuzhou, disciples with Celestial Grade Spirit Root Talent were as rare as a phoenix feather or a qilin’s horn—a truly uncommon sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Changqing suppressed his excitement and continued to watch the auction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As several more treasures were sold, a complex and beautiful palace dress appeared on the high platform. It was deep purple with gold-embroidered brocade clusters, shimmering with spiritual light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a Middle Grade Magical Treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire dress emanated a dense life aura. Not only was its Defense exceptionally strong, but it also had a series of wondrous effects, such as resisting Heart Demons, preserving one’s youth, and aiding in healing and recovery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This treasure doesn’t seem to be on the list, does it? It must be a rare and wonderful item.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Qiyue remarked with a slight smile and a raised brow, a hint of surprise in her voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s get it first, then you all can decide who gets to use it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ling Changqing said. Ling Qiyue herself already owned a set of robes at the Middle grade Treasure Level, while the clothes worn by the other women were still at the Spiritual Artifact Level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, it’s a deal then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Qiu Yao said with a smile. She actually felt the palace dress would suit her quite well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Xue Qingtan, at an auction of this level, a Middle Grade Magical Treasure was already the best kind of treasure one could expect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To find anything better, one would have to go to the auctions held by the top factions in Yuzhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...The starting bid for this palace dress is eight thousand Middle grade Spirit Stones, with a minimum increment of one hundred. Interested fellow Cultivators may begin bidding!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the beautiful woman in the golden robe announced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even for a Golden Core Master, this price was not cheap, but the value of a Middle Grade Magical Treasure was self-evident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, someone in the crowd immediately called out:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eight thousand one hundred!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eight thousand two hundred.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I bid eight thousand three hundred.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a short while, the price soared past the ten-thousand mark, with more than a dozen Cultivators still unwilling to give up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a treasure that could significantly enhance a Cultivator’s strength and increase their chances of survival, any Cultivator with the means would naturally compete for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the refining of a Magical Treasure was a long, arduous process that consumed immense time and effort. Coupled with the scarcity of Third Rank Middle Grade Artifact Refiners, the palace dress seemed all the more valuable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eleven thousand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Qiu Yao called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd fell silent for a moment before someone continued the bidding: \"Eleven thousand five hundred.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Twelve thousand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Qiu Yao remained unfazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Twelve thousand five hundred!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After another back-and-forth, the price successfully approached the fifteen-thousand mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, fewer than ten Cultivators still had the means to compete, including Luo Qingxuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the transaction records for past Middle Grade Magical Treasures, this figure was not particularly outrageous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sixteen thousand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Qiu Yao couldn’t be bothered to drag it out with them any longer and directly bid a round number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this, two more Female Cultivators reluctantly gave up, leaving only a few people struggling to hold on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her private room, Luo Qingxuan glanced in their direction, puzzled. She had a vague feeling that something was off, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on what it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of thought, she asked the Maid beside her, \"What is the background of the guests in that private room?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the other party hesitate, she directly tossed out a handful of Spirit Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did the Maid reply, \"I hear it’s the Ling Family Patriarch, the master who controls the entire Feiyu Sea Region.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Qingxuan nodded and did not continue bidding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the wealth of the Deep Sea Dragon Race, she was not lacking in treasures of this level. She had only been bidding for fun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, by the time the price soared to eighteen thousand Middle grade Spirit Stones, the last few competitors had unwillingly withdrawn from the bidding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We finally got it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Qiu Yao sighed in relief, her heart still trembling a little. It was the first time she had ever spent so many Spirit Stones in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>",1135,"2026-06-06T12:19:57.038Z",1,"novelbin.me","9570e2475471ce56e44f38d20987137073f4d7d2d2312732125a7a2f6b666e8c","eternal-life-by-dual-cultivation-chapter-323","eternal-life-by-dual-cultivation-chapter-321",400,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-life-by-dual-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
