Immortal Only Accepts Female Disciples

Chapter 743: Afternoon Session (II)

Treasures that extended lifespan were precious across the world. For countless beings, one of the main reasons they cultivated was to gain longevity. Humans in particular had very low innate vitality.

A mortal human cultivator who managed to reach the peak of the Spirit Initiate Realm without any physical ailments could live around the age of one hundred. An additional ten years for someone like that was akin to a second life. They might be able to make another push toward the breakthrough which had eluded them throughout their life.

It was the same case for immortals. The Spirit Lord Realm sounded great but it only doubled one’s original lifespan to around two hundred years. Although ten years was not a lot, it was enough to accomplish many things. For some immortals who were especially afraid of death, it was worth more Spirit Lord Realm treasures.

Hong Ling spoke up again after giving the audience enough time to digest the reveal, “Everyone, the Grand Auction House has investigated the market for longevity items. We assure you that the starting price is the very bottom for something equivalent that can provide ten years of lifespan. We will start at five million taels of gold with a minimum increment of one million taels. And going forward, we will adjust the prices to use orange spiritual crystal which has a market price of ten million taels of gold per kilogram. Now… do we have a bid for zero-point-five kilograms of orange spiritual crystal?”

There was silence as many were still stunned, not so much by the silver bristle pinecone but by the starting price. It was already ten times more expensive than the most expensive item during the morning!

“Zero-point-five!” Someone finally spoke.

It was a clan head from the eagle faction.

“Zero-point-six kilograms!” Another person from the lion faction quickly countered.

“…”

Chen Wentian stared intently at the box presented on the stage. He also wanted this pinecone. Lifespan was a precious thing. Only a dumb person wouldn’t want it. Even if it was not very useful for someone like him at Spirit King Realm, it would be effective for his disciples.

However, the competition for this pinecone was very fierce. Because the immortals present didn’t seem interested in it, the mortals went all out. With only five more items to go, they didn’t know if they would get another chance. Even if they overpaid, it would still be worth it!

“One-point-nine kilograms!”

“Two kilograms!”

“…”

Finally, Hong Ling gave a bright smile, “Excellent, this silver bristle pinecone will go to Executive Elder Qu Shi for a price of two-point-seven kilograms of orange spiritual crystal, congratulations!”

A handsome middle-aged man stood up and cupped his fists, “Thank you, thank you. Chief Auctioneer Hong, your auction house has outdone itself again this time. This one will happily receive this treasure. It will help my family prosper for another generation.”

Other eagle clan people stood up to offer their congratulations as well. Qu Shi was Qu Rong’s father and the head of one of the biggest Qu branch clans. It was one of the wealthiest entities within the city so the only people unhappy were those from the lion faction. Their expressions were even more ugly than before.

Hong Ling clapped her hands, “Let us continue…”

The next item that came up was the carcass of a Spirit Lord Realm beast, a black wolf that was the size of a small elephant. It had been sent over by the Legendary Fighter League from the western border. It was said that Immortal Phoenix Legend Shi Shi encountered this ferocious wolf by chance and slayed it after a long battle. She decided to sell it to the Beast God Sanctum as she knew she could get a good price and use the money for cultivation resources more suitable for her and her sect.

This time, everyone was excited, even the immortals. A Spirit Lord Realm beast was a rare treasure, something that even He Zicheng or Qu Shen couldn’t easily obtain. It was useful for everyone, particularly Immortal Wolf Hunter Nan Lang. The starting bid reflected this and was set at two kilograms of orange spiritual crystal.

“Two kilograms!”

“Two-point-one kilograms!”

“…”

Chen Wentian didn’t involve himself with the bidding. Instead, he reminisced about the time he and Shi Shi had spent together. Although it was brief, it left a great impression. She was firm and liked to be in control. But she also had a soft side. She was refined and cultured. She was completely unlike Jasmine who was just a rebellious divine beast that he had to tame over and over. 

The second item was soon sold for a price of three-point-five kilograms of orange spiritual crystal. The winner was actually Immortal Tempest Badger Qiu Chuyi. Everyone thought it was strange that Nan Lang had given up so easily. But looking at the man’s dark expression, it seemed that giving up wasn’t his choice and perhaps the order of eagle lord. Either way, those of the lion faction gloated about their victory and how they would be able to raise a few experts who cultivated the wolf transformation art.

“Excellent, this is turning out into an exciting finale for the Liu Wu Festival. There are even more exciting items to go. I hope everyone is ready!” Hong Ling said.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Come on!”

“Bring it out!”

“We are ready!”

Several people shouted, adding fuel to the heightened atmosphere.

Hong Ling smiled and pushed up the third item. “This time, we have something very special. It was obtained by our Grand Auction House by chance through our trading agents…”

Chen Wentian blinked and his lips formed a thin line in anticipation. It was finally time. This was something he had prepared for the auction so that he could cause the most trouble possible. Everything led to this point. This was the spark that would cause the room to explode.

Beside him, Zhou Ziyun and Li Yuechan also prepared themselves. Their only task was to escape with the help of his soul weapons when the fighting started. He would cover their rear but they had to force their way through any obstacles in front of them.

Hong Ling reached for the edge of the cloth that covered the box but didn’t pull it away. “This was found in a town that borders the Northern Wasteland. Our trading agent assigned to that region only visits that specific town once a year. The person who sold him the item said that they were digging for ore when they found the underground nest of a strange beast. The beast was already long-gone but had left the fur it had shedded in the nest.”

She pulled the cloth slightly but not all the way, “The person who sold this didn’t understand its value. Even our trading agent wasn’t able to ascertain its true value, only that it was special. Even our experts at the auction house could not be completely certain, only that this fur came from an immortal beast at the Spirit Lord Realm. I still have to ask help from the immortal lords present as well as our venerable lion lord and eagle lord. I hope you will able to find a use for this!”
