Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Zhu Rong, with the mindset of testing the waters, was the first to bid: "One hundred eighty-five thousand middle-grade spirit stones."

For this kind of heaven-and-earth treasure needed by a fire spirit root, one naturally has to compete for it.

If I lose, it's no problem.

If I win, nothing could be better.

Wan Niang's eyes brightened, her tone rising a few degrees: "Dao Friend Zhu bids one hundred eighty-five thousand!

Dao Friend Su, this crystal core can directly temper a fire spirit root, greatly aiding your bottleneck breakthrough; do you want to counter-bid?"

Upon hearing this, Su Jinli's clear, cold voice rang out in the auction hall, saying without hesitation: "Three hundred thousand middle-grade spirit stones."

"How... how much?"

"Damn, directly adding one hundred fifteen thousand?"

"This is too ruthless!"

As these words fell, the surrounding people were dumbstruck.

Others bid by a few thousand at a time, at most going up by ten thousand.

As a result, Su Jinli was different; she likely truly wanted this Yanmo crystal core, so not wanting to waste too much time, she directly raised the price to a terrifying height.

Zhao Ziyue's mouth gaped open, and he subconsciously muttered: "This many spirit stones, enough for me to buy a hundred years' worth of fishing tools!"

Yu Shi's gaze toward Su Jinli immediately gained a few degrees of solemnity; clearly he hadn't expected this seemingly low-profile female cultivator's financial power to be terrifying to this extent.

She bought so many things, yet could still produce several hundred thousand middle-grade spirit stones.

Good fellow, even someone like me, an Imperial Dynasty Crown Prince sitting on a treasury's existence, cannot do it so casually.

Even Zhang Su, Rong Yan, members of cultivation clans, and even the Eldest Young Master's existence, couldn't help but exchange a glance, seeing a trace of shock in each other's eyes.

This price has already far surpassed the Yanmo crystal core's conventional market price, a proper "determined to obtain it."

To speak of it, the least surprised person should be Xu Zhangqing.

His predecessor, that is, Senior Sister Fish, was herself an Alchemist with rich family property.

Now seeing Su Jinli so wealthy, not only was he not surprised, but he felt it was only natural.

After all, in the cultivation world, the most money-making professions are either Alchemist, Talisman Master, or Array Master; the rarer, the more money earned.

Su Jinli not only has astonishing combat power, but her talent in alchemy is equally extremely high.

Conversely, if she couldn't produce this many middle-grade spirit stones, that would be the surprising thing.

At this moment, Zhu Rong finally understood the weight of the main body's words, so after thinking it over he waved his hand at Wan Niang: "I give up."

Xu Zhangqing immediately sent a voice transmission, praising: "A wise choice, worthy of being me."

Zhu Rong replied: "I have spirit stones, but I'm not a big sucker."

As long as subsequent cooperation with the Wan Family, especially Wan Niang's side, goes smoothly.

Similar, or even rarer, heaven-and-earth treasures will certainly be endless.

Therefore, it's not worth offending Su Jinli here.

Wan Niang blanked for a moment, then confirmed in a loud voice: "Dao Friend Su bids three hundred thousand middle-grade spirit stones!

Fellow Dao Friends, does anyone else want to raise the bid?"

She asked three times in a row, but in the auction hall no one responded.

Not to mention others can't use it; even if they could, no one dares to snatch from Su Jinli who "moves with three hundred thousand right out the gate."

Insufficient financial power is one aspect.

The key is they estimate they can't beat her in a fight either.

After about three breaths, Wan Niang finally smiled and finalized the result: "Congratulations Dao Friend Su, for securing the Yanmo crystal core at the price of three hundred thousand middle-grade spirit stones!"

As she spoke, her fingertip condensed mana, remotely activating the protection array; that dark red crystal core emitting sparks slowly floated toward Su Jinli.

The latter raised her hand to catch it; the moment her fingertip touched the crystal core, a strand of scorching fire spirit qi drilled into her body along her palm, and the fire spirit root inside her body immediately surged restlessly, like a drought meeting rain, cheering and leaping.

She lowered her eyes to glance at the crystal core in her palm, a trace of extremely faint amusement flashing in her eyes, then raised her hand and kept it into her storage ring.

With this crystal core, her confidence in impacting the Nascent Soul stage can increase by at least three-tenths.

The Yanmo crystal core was just collected by Su Jinli when Wan Niang raised her hand to activate the exhibition platform, and the fourth auction item immediately appeared.

It was a gray-gold stone the size of a fist, its surface inlaid with three fine spirit patterns of red, gold, and yellow, the patterns still intertwining with each other.

Wan Niang introduced: "The fourth auction item, a triple-attribute spirit pattern mother stone.

Suitable for fire, gold, and earth spirit root cultivators, able to automatically harmonize the three types of spiritual energy.

Base price one hundred fifty thousand middle-grade spirit stones, each bid increase no less than five thousand."

The words had barely fallen when Lu Wu abruptly raised his hand: "Eighteen thousand Middle-grade Spirit Stones!"

He possessed Fire, Metal, and Earth Three Spirit Roots; previously, cultivating "Metal Fire Breaker" was never stable enough, and this mother stone was simply tailor-made for him.

The surroundings had no one respond.

Hu Bugui has gold-fire spirit roots and cannot use the earth system.

Yu Shi, though suitable, didn't want to snatch his good friend's treasure.

As for Zhu Rong and Su Jinli, they didn't even spare a glance, completely not paying attention.

Wan Niang scanned the whole venue; seeing still no one bidding, she announced the final result: "Congratulations Daoist Lu for securing the triple-attribute spirit pattern mother stone at the price of one hundred eighty thousand middle-grade spirit stones!"

The mother stone floated into Lu Wu's hand; he clenched it tight on the spot, treating it like a treasure and immediately stashing it away.

The crowd didn't wait long before the fifth auction item was presented.

A semi-translucent light blue feather, its tail tip still adorned with a wisp of fine wind, trembled lightly even while lying still.

Wan Niang glanced at Spirit Rong Night, intentionally or not, then smiled and said: "Wind Singing Lingyu Feather, exclusive to Wind Spiritual Root, can increase technique power.

Reserve price twelve thousand Middle-grade Spirit Stones, minimum bid increase five thousand."

Spirit Rong Night spoke almost simultaneously: "One hundred fifty thousand Middle-grade Spirit Stones."

As expected, besides him, no one else spoke up.

When it comes down to it, among everyone present, there is only one Wind Spiritual Root.

Although this thing can be used to refine Spirit Tools and Magic Tools, Spirit Rong Night wants it, so naturally no one is willing to compete, after all they are all "One's Own People".

Not the first time either, Wan Niang announced crisply: "Congratulations to Dao Friend Spirit on securing it!"

The feather floated to Spirit Rong Night's side; he touched it with his fingertip, and the feather transformed into a wisp of light blue gentle wind that wound around his wrist. He slightly mobilized his magic power, and a gentle breeze rose throughout the entire Fifth Layer auction hall, blowing the surrounding people's sleeves fluttering and hair strands stirring lightly.

At this moment, Hu Bugui looked at Xu Zhangqing and Zhao Ziyue, and transmitted his voice: "Lao Xu, Lao Zhao, why do I feel these things are aimed at us?"

Zhao Ziyue nodded in Deeply Agreeing: "Obviously catering to our preferences."

From this it can be seen, Wan Niang has two layers of meaning inside.

First, since we have offended Dragon Tiger Immortal Sect, we might as well win over Dongting Immortal Sect.

Second, if we can establish connections with them, selling things will be more convenient in the future.

However, for Xu Zhangqing and the others, this is instead a once-in-a-hundred-years Opportunity.

After all, many of the Spiritual Treasures auctioned this time are greatly needed by everyone now.

Not only can they enhance strength, they can even assist in Realm Breakthrough.

Two auction items, finished one after another in no more than half a cup of tea's time.

Although the transaction was very fast, everyone was quite Satisfied.

Wan Niang raised her hand to bring forth the next auction item, while smiling and saying: "The next one is a treasure prepared for Wood Spiritual Root Dao Friends..."
