Longevity: Start From The Entry Of Luck

Chapter 125: The Famous Genius on the Ranking List!

Treasure Pavilion.

Looking up at the three big characters above his head.

Then looking at the ten zhang wide and three zhang wide gate in front of him, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

Compared to the Treasure Pavilion in the market of the Tai Xuan Sect, this was the true grandeur.

At this moment, people were constantly coming in and out.

The large-scale auction five days later had already attracted various forces from the Qian Yuan Kingdom to gather in this city at the top of the snow-capped mountain.

But Jiang Yuan's appearance here did not attract any attention.

He was just an ordinary cultivator.

The Tai Xuan Sect, among the major immortal sects in the Qian Yuan Kingdom, was only considered first-class.

Above the first-class, there were still super first-class existences.

Any super first-class immortal sect had a Law Manifestation realm cultivator sitting in it, like a needle in the sea.

This was only the news on the surface, known to everyone.

Stepping over the threshold of the Treasure Pavilion.

A maid immediately came forward to greet him.

"I have seen this young master, may I ask what brings you here?"

Jiang Yuan said, "I want to sell something, something of high value!"

The maid nodded and then gestured with her hand, "Then please follow me to the VIP room!"

As she led Jiang Yuan towards the VIP room on the first floor, she introduced to Jiang Yuan.

"On the first floor of the Treasure Pavilion, the displayed treasures range from first-grade to fifth-grade restrictions, the pills are between first-grade and second-grade, as for the heavenly materials and earthly treasures, they are all under a hundred years old."

"The second floor is even more precious, with divine weapons with nine-grade restrictions displayed, and fourth-grade pills. However, entering the second floor requires a VIP card issued by the various branches."

Jiang Yuan immediately took out a golden card and said, "Is it this one?"

The maid was instantly surprised and glanced at Jiang Yuan, then respectfully said, "So the young master is a VIP of our Treasure Pavilion, I have been neglectful."

"What about the third floor?" Jiang Yuan asked curiously.

"The third floor is different, it is only open to specific groups of people, with spiritual weapons displayed as well as fifth-grade pills. Please forgive me, young master!" The maid said apologetically.

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "It's alright."

He immediately understood that the third floor was only open to extremely prestigious individuals in the Qian Yuan Kingdom.

Fifth-grade pills were generally suitable for Law Manifestation realm cultivators, and the same went for spiritual weapons.

Soon, the maid led Jiang Yuan to the VIP room on the first floor.

She respectfully poured him a cup of tea and said, "Please forgive me, recently there have been too many visitors, so you will have to wait a moment for the manager to be free to see you!"

Jiang Yuan waved his hand, indicating for her to leave.

He was already mentally prepared for this situation. The large-scale auction five days later was about to begin.

Having left the Tai Xuan Sect, he didn't have much fame in the Qian Yuan Kingdom, so it was natural that he wouldn't be given too much attention.

After a full quarter of an hour, a middle-aged woman in her forties walked into Jiang Yuan's VIP room.

She glanced at Jiang Yuan and said, "So it's a disciple of the Tai Xuan Sect, may I know how to address you, young master?"

"Jiang Yuan!"

"So it's Young Master Jiang, may I ask what you would like to sell?"

Jiang Yuan waved his hand and placed the spoils of war from the disciples of the Sunset Sect on the table.

Seeing the pile of items in front of her, she instantly looked at Jiang Yuan in surprise.

With her discerning eyes, she could tell that these were spoils of war from defeating enemies. From this pile of spoils, she instantly deduced that three to four people had fallen into Jiang Yuan's hands.

And their cultivation level was not low, they were not ordinary disciples who had just entered the Meridian Opening Realm, which could be seen from the pile of divine weapons.

She began to carefully count these items.

After half an incense stick's worth of time.

She said, "One long sword with five layers of prohibition, two long knives with three layers of prohibition, and two divine weapons with two layers of prohibition, as well as four divine weapons with one layer of prohibition, and several pills and miscellaneous items."

"How about a total of 15,200 lower-grade spirit stones?" Jiang Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Deal!"

He had already experienced the fairness of the Treasure Pavilion before, and he was satisfied with this price.

The largest proportion of the items was the long sword with five layers of prohibition.

This sword was also carried by the expert at the ninth level of the Meridian Opening Realm.

Soon, the two completed the transaction.

The middle-aged woman asked, "Is there anything else you need, Master Jiang?"

Jiang Yuan took out two Bodhi fruits and said, "Can these be auctioned?"

The middle-aged woman's eyes widened instantly, "Are these the legendary Bodhi fruits?"

She rubbed her eyes, feeling somewhat incredulous.

Then she said, "Can I take a closer look?"

Jiang Yuan gestured with his hand and said, "Please."

She carefully observed the fruits in her hand for a while, then placed them on the table.

"These are indeed Bodhi fruits, a kind of heavenly treasure that can only be born after a high monk attains enlightenment! Master Jiang, are you sure you want to auction these two Bodhi fruits? If the auction is successful, the Treasure Pavilion will charge a 5% commission based on the final price."

Jiang Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Yes."

"Good!" She solemnly accepted the two Bodhi fruits.

Then she handed two tokens to Jiang Yuan and said, "Master Jiang, one token represents 100,000 lower-grade spirit stones, and two tokens represent 200,000. You can use an additional 200,000 lower-grade spirit stones to participate in the auction five days later! This is also the starting price for the Bodhi fruits. If there is no successful bid, the Treasure Pavilion will directly purchase them at this price."

She smiled and continued, "Of course, this is unlikely to happen. These Bodhi fruits can greatly enhance a person's comprehension ability. Their value is immeasurable. With so many outstanding talents gathering at the auction, I estimate that there will be a sky-high price."

Jiang Yuan took the tokens from her hand and couldn't help but be amazed.

Her actions represented the judgment of the Treasure Pavilion.

The starting price of at least 200,000 lower-grade spirit stones for the two Bodhi fruits was beyond Jiang Yuan's expectations.

Compared to the Soul Condensing Dew and Dragon Blood Grass, this price was multiplied by how many times!

But when he thought about the effect, he realized it was normal.

According to what Ya'er had said, it took three drops of Soul Condensing Dew to produce a certain transformation in the divine soul and develop divine soul talent.

This was equivalent to White-grade Innate Luck.

In other words, it would take nearly 10,000 lower-grade spirit stones to achieve this effect.

The Bodhi fruits could produce Green-grade Innate Luck for Liu Jie, which was of extraordinary significance.

It was reasonable for the starting price to increase tenfold. After all, these were heavenly treasures that could only be born after a high monk attained enlightenment, and they were extremely rare.

Moreover, the improvement in talent couldn't be measured solely by value.

Originally, Jiang Yuan was worried that his wealth would not be enough to acquire the Yin-Yang Profound Jade and Five Elements Spirit Fruits.

But now, looking at the total of more than 270,000 lower-grade spirit stones, he felt more confident.

He no longer had the idea of auctioning off the Boundary Stone.

Since he had enough spirit stones, there was no need to sell the precious Boundary Stone.

Soon, Jiang Yuan left the Treasure Pavilion with satisfaction.

Yunlai Tower.

The largest restaurant in Yunxiao City.

As soon as Jiang Yuan stepped through the door, he saw the bustling scene in the hall, with young talents enjoying exquisite food and engaging in lively discussions.

He quickly found a seat on the first floor that was not too secluded.

His purpose in coming here was simple: to taste delicious food and gather useful information.

Those geniuses who were widely known must have outstanding Innate Luck. After all, any Purple-grade Innate Luck would have a very obvious effect.

For a genius with Purple-grade Innate Luck, as long as nothing unexpected happened, it was normal for their reputation to spread far and wide.

Just as Jiang Yuan sat down, a young boy dressed as a servant ran over.

"This young master doesn't know what you would like to eat. Today, we have just received fresh Bai Ling Yao Beast meat. Would you like to try it?"

"Bai Ling Yao Beast?" Jiang Yuan looked surprised.

The servant nodded and bowed, saying, "Yes, it is a kind of fish-like Yao Beast from Chengyang Lake, which is connected to the East Sea. Although its strength is not strong and it is just a small Yao, it has not yet transformed, but its taste is exceptionally delicious, and the meat contains abundant spiritual energy."

Jiang Yuan became interested immediately. He had only heard of Yao Beasts but had never seen any, let alone eaten them.

He said, "Then bring me a serving of Bai Ling Yao Beast, along with four servings of your signature dishes, and a pot of good wine!"

"Alright! Please wait a moment, the dishes will be ready soon!"

After saying that, the servant hurriedly ran towards the shopkeeper.

Looking at Shu Xiaoxiao, who was still standing aside, Jiang Yuan said, "Sit!"

She immediately obediently sat down.

Just then, he heard a conversation that piqued his interest.

"Have you heard? Ouyang Man, ranked 56th on the Heavenly Ranking, went to challenge the Yao woman Mu Qianru. He lost miserably and was seduced into doing a striptease by that Yao woman. If it weren't for Wang Yu arriving in time and taking action, Ouyang Man would have lost face."

"Ah! It's a pity I wasn't there. I heard that Ouyang Man was left with only his undergarments. I didn't get to see that beautiful scene. What a shame!"

The person on the other side of the conversation lamented.

Heavenly Ranking? Wang Yu?

Jiang Yuan fell into deep thought upon hearing these words. He didn't expect to hear the name of Tantai Ming's fiancé here.

From their conversation, it seemed that Wang Yu's strength was not to be underestimated.

After all, Jiang Yuan had seen Mu Qianru before. She was at the Spirit Sea Realm's fifth level, and with her purple Innate Luck, her strength was not to be underestimated.

He himself might not even be her match now.

Of course, that was only for now. Once he broke through to the Spirit Sea, it would be different.

The gap between each major realm was like a chasm, and once successfully crossed, it would be a leap in one's life.

The difference in strength would be like heaven and earth.

As for the term "Heavenly Ranking," Jiang Yuan was also unfamiliar with it. He had never heard of this ranking in the Tai Xuan Sect before.

He had only heard of the Supreme Golden Ranking, but that was an impeccable immortal artifact.

Once ranked, it would be blessed with great luck, with miraculous effects.

Its purpose was also to ensure the smooth rise of the younger generation's geniuses and prevent them from being secretly killed by the older generation.

What effect did the Heavenly Ranking have? Jiang Yuan didn't know.

But even if it had no effect, Jiang Yuan was extremely interested in this ranking.

Because the higher the ranking, the stronger the person's strength. This meant that most of the geniuses with purple Luck and above were on the list.

This brought him great convenience in absorbing their Luck power.

Just then, the servant approached Jiang Yuan with a large dish in his hands.

Clang!

He carefully placed the large plate, about twenty inches in diameter, in front of Jiang Yuan.

"Young master, this is steamed Bai Ling fish. It retains the original fragrance of the meat and is exceptionally delicious! Please enjoy it slowly!"

Jiang Yuan raised his hand and said, "Wait!"

"What instructions does the young master have?" The servant asked respectfully.

"Have you heard of the Heavenly Ranking?"

He nodded repeatedly and said, "I have heard of it. Its full name is the Heavenly Genius Ranking. It only records the geniuses of the younger generation in Qianyuan Country. Only those under fifty years old can be listed as exceptional geniuses and become famous throughout the country."

Jiang Yuan became interested immediately. This was a good ranking that provided him with a direction to harvest Luck power for himself!

So he asked, "Where can I see this ranking?"

"The Heavenly Pavilion sells it!" The servant answered quickly.

Upon hearing this answer, Jiang Yuan took out two lower-grade spirit stones and threw them to him.

"This is for you!"

He immediately exclaimed with joy, "Thank you, young master! I will fetch the wine for you right away!"

Then he happily turned around and left.

Jiang Yuan also started eating with his chopsticks.

As the fish and meat entered his mouth, a fragrant and tender taste followed, along with a faint spiritual aura.

After tasting the first bite, he immediately understood why this restaurant was so popular.

The meat of the demonic beasts was indeed extraordinary in texture.

Afterwards, the servant boy gradually brought out all the dishes, and Jiang Yuan had a satisfying meal.

After paying the bill, he headed towards the Tianji Pavilion.

When Jiang Yuan walked out of the Tianji Pavilion, holding the list in his hand, he immediately understood the origin of this ranking list.

This was a list compiled by the Tianji Branch in Yunxiao City, and it was not expensive, only selling for ten lower-grade spirit stones.

It recorded the top one hundred young geniuses of the Qianyuan Kingdom, only those under fifty years old could make it onto the list.

Every time the rankings changed, the Tianji Pavilion would release a new edition of the list.

It was precisely because of the frequent changes in the rankings that they made a lot of money.

But this business could only be done by the Tianji Pavilion, and everyone would only recognize the list released by the Tianji Pavilion.

The ranking list had no supernatural power, other than fame, there were no other benefits for those on the list.

But just this fame alone made countless young geniuses flock to it.

For young geniuses, it was the time of youthful arrogance. Who wouldn't want to make a name for themselves and win the title of number one?

Jiang Yuan looked at the names on the list and instantly saw the rankings of several familiar people.

Wang Yu: Eighth level of the Spirit Sea Realm, ranked eighteenth.

Xiao Ruochen: Eighth level of the Spirit Sea Realm, ranked twenty-sixth.

Mu Qianru: Fifth level of the Spirit Sea Realm, ranked forty-seventh.

Tantai Ming: Third level of the Spirit Sea Realm, ranked eighty-ninth.

The last person also had the cultivation of the second level of the Spirit Sea Realm.

As for Liang Qiu, who was defeated by him earlier, he didn't even make it onto the list.

After reading this list, Jiang Yuan immediately understood some information about the young geniuses of the Qianyuan Kingdom.

This list also gave him a guide. Those who could rank at the top before the age of fifty must surely include geniuses with purple Innate Luck.

He didn't know if the top-ranked individuals on the list possessed golden Innate Luck.

Jiang Yuan thought to himself.

He also roughly understood his current position in the younger generation in terms of strength.

His true combat power was only at the bottom of the list, after all, compared to them, he was a whole realm behind.

The people on the list were all true geniuses, the most outstanding young geniuses of the current Qianyuan Kingdom.

They could already cross realms and fight against mediocre people.

Soon, Jiang Yuan returned to the residence of the Tai Xuan Sect.

The man who had welcomed Jiang Yuan earlier was already waiting at the door.

The reward Jiang Yuan gave him undoubtedly improved his attitude and enthusiasm.

For outer disciples, even one spirit stone was not easy to come by.

He was sent here for the sake of cultivation resources.

Here, exchanging the contribution points obtained in one month for spirit stones was only equivalent to five lower-grade spirit stones.

"Senior Brother Jiang, your small courtyard has already been arranged! Do you need anyone else to serve you?" the man asked.

Jiang Yuan shook his head, "No need!"

"Then please follow me, Senior Brother Jiang!" the man respectfully said.
