Protagonist:
Xu Zhangqing
Reduced by half, for those already interested, it was indeed good news.
Therefore, no one complained or insulted anymore.
"I bid 110!"
"I bid 120!"
"I bid 130!"
Soon, the bidding began.
With round after round of bidding, it returned to 200 middle-grade spirit stones again.
Only this time, everyone's enthusiasm was higher.
Xu Zhangqing was also interested in this Four Seasons Fruit Tree, but did not speak.
For now, the number of bidders had decreased by two-thirds compared to before.
But there were still five people constantly competing.
Watching it rise from 200 middle-grade spirit stones to 250.
Finally, five people became two.
These two were more cautious, bidding right at the time limit each time.
Each time it was 10 middle-grade spirit stones, not daring to go too high, afraid of losing out.
When it reached 270, one of them helplessly shook his head and gave up.
Liu Sang revealed a smug smile: "Looks like this fruit tree is mine?"
Just then, Xu Zhangqing finally spoke: "280!"
As soon as these words came out, Liu Sang's smile froze instantly, then he glared angrily toward the source of the voice.
This person looked ordinary, apparently just an ordinary loose cultivator.
Unexpectedly, he actually dared to jump in at this time.
The host smiled: "280 once... 280 twice... 280 three..."
Liu Sang's heart tightened, and he blurted out: "290!"
Who knew, Xu Zhangqing followed closely, expressionlessly saying: "300."
Liu Sang's face changed greatly, unable to help but say: "Dao Friend, it's just a rare fruit tree, why bother?"
Xu Zhangqing glanced at him sideways, lightly saying: "I'll give you the same words."
Seeing him so composed, Liu Sang's face sank: "You're ruthless, I give up!"
No one bid anymore, Xu Zhangqing finally spent 300 middle-grade spirit stones to take this Four Seasons Fruit Tree.
No, accurately speaking, it was a sapling.
To others, such a relatively rare spirit plant, over 250 middle-grade spirit stones was already considered a high price.
Xu Zhangqing spent 300 to take it, seeming to seriously overpay, but he had an advantage no one else could possess, which was Full Level Dian Qing Finger.
Even if only a one-in-a-thousand probability, and there was a possibility of mutation failure.
But he didn't care, anyway he could afford to wait.
If one year doesn't work, then ten years.
If ten years doesn't work, then a hundred years.
As long as it can mutate, then it's a huge profit.
Currently, there are five known mutations of the Four Seasons Fruit Tree.
Four Spirit Qi-Gathering Tree: The tree trunk grows toward the southeast, northwest four directions, floating four-colored spirit patterns.
Effect 1: When cultivating under the tree, the corresponding season's spiritual root absorbs spiritual energy speed will increase.
Effect 2: When the fruit matures, it will seep out four symbol spirit liquid, consuming it can stabilize the realm.
Four Seasons Reincarnation Tree: When the fruit matures, four season runes will emerge.
Effect 1: After consuming the corresponding season's fruit, can increase the cultivation speed of cultivation methods and spells.
Effect 2: Cultivating under the tree will form a miniature spiritual energy vortex, equivalent to having a spirit-gathering effect.
Spirit Plant Treasure Tree: The tree body turns into a natural magic tool embryo.
Effect 1: Can be refined into a defensive magic tool.
Effect 2: Four Seasons Fruit transforms into Four Seasons Spirit Beads.
Effect 3: Will change defensive properties with the seasons.
Seasonal Divine Tree: Every solar term day, the fruit on the tree will obtain a temporary blessing.
Effect 1: Different fruits contain different solar term blessings.
Effect 2: After consuming the fruit, any solar term day will bring a blessing effect.
Cross-Season Strange Tree: The tree trunk simultaneously grows spring buds, summer flowers, autumn leaves, winter bark.
Effect 1: Consuming specific fruit combinations can obtain double or multiple enhancement effects.
Effect 2: Burying a batch of fruits can change the seasonal characteristics of a certain area.
If it mutates into any of the above, it's not something middle-grade spirit stones can take.
This is why Xu Zhangqing particularly valued it.
But the next item made his eyes brighten once more.
The host announced in a loud voice: "This auction item is called Jade Dew Spirit Sprout, a tea tree!"
On the loose cultivator market side, the most expensive tea is Youlan Mist Tea.
And Jade Dew Spirit Sprout is a grade higher; only Immortal Sect disciples can afford to drink it.
Unexpectedly, it could actually be auctioned in this place, which instantly caused an uproar.
"Jade Dew Spirit Sprout, isn't that the specialty tea tree of the Jade Dew Sect?"
"The Jade Dew Sect was destroyed thirty years ago!"
"This is something hoarded for thirty years, then brought out to sell stolen goods?"
The surrounding people discussed heatedly.
Xu Zhangqing narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking to himself: "This Jade Dew Sect, although it cannot compare with Dongting Immortal Sect, once had over a thousand disciples within its doors, and could be considered a minor overlord of the region.
But thirty years ago, in just one night, a certain force broke through its Mountain Guarding Grand Array, and from the Nascent Soul Sect Master down to Qi Refining Disciples, all were slaughtered to the last, not even a dog was spared."
Now there is both the Four Seasons Fruit Tree and the Jade Dew Spirit Sprout.
The seller behind this is extremely likely connected to the Jade Dew Sect that was exterminated thirty years ago.
As for whether they were a participant in the extermination or a survivor from within, that is unknown.
Even Xu Zhangqing figured it out.
Let alone the loose cultivators around him.
Therefore, their pupils brightened terrifyingly one by one.
The host said rather nervously: "The starting bid for the Jade Dew Spirit Sprout is 200 Middle-grade Spirit Stones, and each bid must not be lower than 20 Middle-grade Spirit Stones!"
Fortunately, this time everyone's attention was focused on the Jade Dew Sect.
And this time the price was indeed worthy of the Jade Dew Spirit Sprout.
Therefore it did not arouse anyone's dissatisfaction, and no one cursed his parents.
"220!"
"260!"
"300!"
This time, the number of people participating in the bidding was several times that of before.
Xu Zhangqing sat at the very back, in a higher position, so he could see clearly.
Even the people in the VIP rooms were now active, calling out bids one after another.
To be honest, Xu Zhangqing was indeed interested in this tea tree.
But according to the current bidding frequency, the spirit stones in his pouch were far from enough.
Sure enough, it soon rushed to 600 Middle-grade Spirit Stones, and many people's enthusiasm did not diminish.
Xu Zhangqing shook his head: "Forget it, forget it, this tea tree has no affinity with me."
However, he did not hurry to leave.
He wanted to see what price it would ultimately reach.
After about ten minutes, it directly rushed to 1000 Middle-grade Spirit Stones.
At this moment, those still bidding had already dwindled to only one-tenth of before.
Even so, the price continued to rise higher and higher.
Just then, in the VIP room at the upper right corner, a deep voice sounded: "Everyone, give my Lei Family some face, this Jade Dew Spirit Sprout we want."
Upon hearing the two words Lei Family, many people's faces changed greatly.
Some simply shut their mouths directly, not daring to bid again.
In Dongqing City, especially in the loose cultivator market, speaking of the most powerful family.
Apart from the Wang Family, there is the Lei Family, skilled in pill concoction, and the Sun Family, which rose rapidly by selling wine.
You can choose not to drink wine.
But you cannot not buy pills.
Therefore, many people are willing to give the Lei Family some face.
This caused the speed and number of bidders afterward to become lower and lower.
Finally, the Lei Family successfully took this Jade Dew Spirit Sprout tea tree at a price of 1240 Middle-grade Spirit Stones!
