Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Wan Niang raised her hand and flicked it; as she channeled her magic power, the glazed cup passed through the protection array and landed steadily on the case table before Xu Zhangqing.

Seeing this, he extended his right hand and touched the cup with the tip of his index finger, sensing the mellow spiritual energy contained within.

Metal, wood, water, fire, earth—all were present.

He was very satisfied and immediately put the cup into his Fangcun Ring.

However, he would not plant the seed of this Five-Colored Lotus in the short term.

What was most urgent now was still to complete the task arranged by the Immortal Sect.

Immediately after, the second auction item was revealed.

It was a palm-sized black jade tablet, its surface engraved with dense mysterious patterns that glowed with faint golden light between them; they seemed chaotic yet carried a unique rhythm, and fine spirit patterns were inlaid along the edges, making it look quite extraordinary.

"The second item, Spirit Jade Tablet."

Wan Niang pointed at the jade tablet and continued, "The spirit patterns on this item are very ancient; even the most powerful talisman masters of our Wan Family do not know its specific origin.

The reserve price is one hundred thousand middle-grade spirit stones, and each bid cannot be lower than one thousand middle-grade spirit stones."

Facing something even the Wan Family did not know the origin of, everyone was very alert.

Only Xu Zhangqing, Yu Shi, and Rong Yan had some interest in this item.

Yu Shi observed while muttering to himself, "I've seen no fewer than a thousand, perhaps several hundred, various rare spirit patterns, but this is the first time I've seen this kind of pattern."

Rong Yan smiled and said, "It's quite pretty; take it back as a betrothal gift."

Listening to the words of those beside him, Xu Zhangqing thought to himself, "This is a Sealing Spirit Mysterious Pattern; there must be something good hidden inside, and I must obtain it."

In terms of spirit patterns, few cultivators in the entire Tianyuan Realm could compare with him.

Therefore, at first sight, he immediately identified it.

This kind of spirit pattern was very ancient, belonging to a rare type passed down from ancient times.

Moreover, it was only used to seal rare cultivation methods and spells when storing them.

Yu Shi spoke first: "One hundred thousand one thousand!"

Rong Yan followed closely: "One hundred thousand five thousand!"

Hu Bugui and others whispered, "Is anyone really bidding?"

Wan Niang took the opportunity to interject, her voice clear and bright: "Dao Friend Rong bids one hundred thousand five thousand!

Dao Friend Yu, will you increase your bid?"

Yu Shi glanced at Rong Yan and said calmly: "One hundred thousand six thousand."

Wan Niang continued to guide the bidding, her gaze flowing between the two: "Dao Friend Yu bids one hundred thousand six thousand!

Dao Friend Rong, will you follow or not?"

She wished the bidding would be as lively as possible; this way she could not only sell at a high price but also complete the assessment sooner, anyway, selling to anyone was selling.

Rong Yan tapped his index finger on the arm of his chair and said slowly: "One hundred thousand seven thousand."

Soon, the two entered a tug-of-war.

One was the Crown Prince of a Mortal Dynasty, the other the Eldest Young Master of the Spirit Field First Cultivation Family; neither lacked money, and they could even be called extremely wealthy.

Neither rushed to raise the price, each time only increasing by the minimum standard of one thousand; obviously, they were comparing patience.

In just a short while, the price rose from one hundred thousand to one hundred twenty thousand.

Seeing the two deadlocked, Wan Niang immediately added: "Now Dao Friend Yu has bid one hundred twenty thousand; Dao Friend Rong, this Spirit Jade Tablet is a one-of-a-kind treasure, will you increase your bid or not?"

Xu Zhangqing saw this in his eyes and calculated in his heart: "The value of this jade tablet far exceeds one hundred twenty thousand, but I have no need to waste too many spirit stones.

Rather than competing in bids, I might as well ask for some face, which could also save a lot of trouble."

Therefore, after thinking it through clearly, taking advantage of the fact that Rong Yan had not yet spoken, he immediately said: "Both of you, give me some face and stop competing, how about it?"

As soon as these words were spoken, not only were Yu Shi and Rong Yan surprised, but even Su Jinli and Zhao Ziyue and others showed curious expressions.

Yu Shi asked in surprise: "You, a spirit farmer, why are you interested in this thing?"

Xu Zhangqing immediately replied: "Don't forget, I am a Water Wood Dual Spirit Root, and I am also interested in spirit patterns and drawing talismans."

Yu Shi frowned: "But even so, it shouldn't be……"

At this moment, Rong Yan spoke up to break the deadlock: "Since Dao Friend Xu needs it, then I will give up; anyway, I don't lack this one thing."

He and Zhang Su had the same thought in their hearts; from the time Xu Zhangqing became a Spirit Nurturing Master, the two had begun relying on each other.

If one day he truly became a Grain Master, and the relationship between both sides was not good, all kinds of trouble would be unavoidable.

Anyway, he didn't recognize this thing himself; it would be better to hand it over as a gesture, while also selling some face.

Yu Shi stared at Xu Zhangqing for a few seconds and began to weigh things in his heart.

Rong Yan had already given up; if he continued to compete with Xu Zhangqing alone, he would not only gain no benefit but might also offend this "Quasi-He Master."

One must know that, besides Spirit Rong Night and Lu Wu, everyone around was "his people."

Moreover, his interest in the jade tablet was more out of curiosity; it was not something he absolutely had to have.

Xu Zhangqing blinked his eyes, feeling slightly nervous in his heart: "How about it?"

If it were anyone else, they would surely be willing to give him some face.

But the person before him was different; after all, his identity, status, and strength were there.

Yu Shi thought it over and over, finally nodding: "I can give it to you, but afterward you must let me inscribe a spirit pattern on it."

Xu Zhangqing breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, then cupped his hands and said: "No problem."

The bidding was interrupted, but Wan Niang showed no displeasure; instead she reminded them: "Dao Friend Yu just bid one hundred and twenty thousand. If Dao Friend Xu wants it, he must raise the bid by at least one thousand."

Xu Zhangqing immediately called out: "One hundred and twenty-one thousand middle-grade spirit stones!"

Wan Niang swept her gaze over the hall. Seeing no one else competing, especially Zhu Rong having not the slightest interest, she then announced the result: "Congratulations to Dao Friend Xu for securing this spirit-pattern jade tablet at a price of one hundred and twenty thousand and one thousand middle-grade spirit stones."

As soon as the words fell, just as before, her right hand lightly drew back.

The next moment, the jade tablet slowly rose, once again landing on the table.

Xu Zhangqing reached out and picked it up, then swept it with his divine sense, overjoyed in his heart: "As expected, it is the Sealing Spirit Mysterious Pattern; whatever is inside must be excellent."

At this moment, he perceived Yu Shi's gaze falling on his hand, and only then remembered their earlier agreement; without the slightest hesitation he handed the jade tablet over.

Yu Shi took it, first played with it for a moment, and seeing that he indeed could not recognize it, used his divine sense to inscribe the spirit pattern on it, then returned it.

Xu Zhangqing did not rush to examine it, but instead put it into his Fangcun Ring.

Next came the third auction item.

Wan Niang raised her hand and pointed at the exhibition platform; a dark red crystal the size of a pigeon's egg appeared.

Its surface sparkled with fine sparks; even through the protection array one could feel that pure fire spirit qi.

Then Wan Niang smiled and said: "This is a Yanmo Crystal Core, one of the exclusive spiritual treasures for cultivators with a fire spirit root."

The starting bid is one hundred and eighty thousand middle-grade spirit stones, and each bid must not be lower than five thousand middle-grade spirit stones.

Among those present, only Zhu Rong and Su Jinli primarily cultivate the fire spirit root.

The others, whether Hu Bugui, Lu Wu, or Yu Shi, all belong to secondary cultivation.

What's more, if these two wanted it, the people around them simply would not dare to compete with them.

At this moment, Zhu Rong sent a mental transmission to his main body: "Should I place a bid?"

Xu Zhangqing glanced at Su Jinli, seeing her eyes fixed unblinkingly on the Yanmo Crystal Core, obviously wanting this thing, and therefore replied: "You can try, but you probably cannot outbid Sister Li; her wealth is beyond imagination!"
