Longevity: Start From The Entry Of Luck

Chapter 128: Goal Achieved, Yin Yang Mysterious Jade Obtained!

Time quietly passed.

After a long while.

Once the auction price for item number 79 below was settled.

Lin Meier slowly said, "Everyone should have heard a rumor these past few days, that our Treasure Pavilion has temporarily added an auction item."

Someone below immediately brightened their eyes, "Is Miss Lin talking about the Bodhi Fruit?"

Lin Meier smiled and said, "This good brother is indeed clever! The temporarily added auction item is indeed the Bodhi Fruit!"

The people below suddenly showed a burning gaze.

Someone anxiously said, "Then why waste time? Hurry up and bring out the Bodhi Fruit for auction. I am determined to obtain it!"

Upon hearing his words, someone immediately sneered, "Determined to obtain it? Just based on the financial resources of your Snow Eagle Palace? I'm laughing!"

Lin Meier looked at the sparks rising below and quickly said, "Good brothers and sisters, please don't be anxious. The Bodhi Fruit will be brought out soon!"

As she spoke, a maid stepped onto the stage from behind and placed a tray in front of Lin Meier.

Lin Meier lifted the red cloth, revealing two jade boxes.

Then she slowly opened the jade boxes, revealing the Bodhi Fruit to everyone.

"Everyone, please take a look. This is the Bodhi Fruit. It can only be born in the place where a high-ranking monk attains enlightenment, and the conditions for its appearance are extremely harsh. Not only does it require a high level of cultivation, reaching the realm above Law Manifestation, but it also requires deep understanding of Buddhism."

"Therefore, this item is extremely rare, but its effects are also extremely powerful. Consuming it can greatly enhance one's comprehension."

"Even the most dull-witted person, after eating a Bodhi Fruit, will instantly have extraordinary comprehension!"

"Moreover, the Bodhi Fruit has not appeared in Qianyuan Kingdom for decades! Apart from the two Bodhi Fruits here, only Buddhist sects like the Rotten Ke Temple might still have some in stock!"

"If you miss this opportunity, you will regret it for the rest of your life!"

Listening to Lin Meier's eloquent words and her voice that reached deep into people's hearts, Jiang Yuan felt that he would regret it for the rest of his life if he missed this opportunity.

Lin Meier continued, "There are only two portions available for this auction, with one portion being one fruit. The starting price is 100,000 lower-grade spirit stones, and each bid must not be lower than 5,000!"

"The auction starts now!"

The people below instantly began bidding.

In just a moment, the price soared to 150,000 lower-grade spirit stones per Bodhi Fruit.

Seeing how quickly the price was rising, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but be amazed.

After a while, when it gradually rose to 180,000.

Someone from private room number three suddenly said, "I bid 200,000. Can you all give me some face?"

Everyone's gaze instantly converged on private room number three on the second floor.

"Situ Wang, it's actually him!" someone whispered in surprise.

Jiang Yuan's mind also instantly flashed with information about him.

Situ Wang, ranked sixteenth on the Heavenly Rankings.

This wasn't much, but his grandfather was Situ Bo, a cultivator in the Law Manifestation realm. Moreover, Situ Bo was extremely fond of him and almost always granted his requests.

In Qianyuan Kingdom, he was a true top-tier third-generation immortal.

Just then, the window of private room number one slowly opened.

Someone calmly said, "Giving you face? Based on what? Is your face that big?"

Seeing the face in private room number one, everyone's expressions froze, and a hint of fear flashed in their eyes.

Because this person was ranked eighth on the Heavenly Rankings, just one step away from stepping into the Divine Bridge Realm.

And the most crucial thing was his identity, the eleventh prince of Qianyuan Kingdom, Zhou Ting.

In Qianyuan Kingdom, the biggest power, the biggest background, was the Qianyuan royal family.

Zhou Ting slowly said, "I bid 210,000. If you have the ability, continue to compete!"

Situ Wang smiled and said, "What's the rush? Let's wait until someone surpasses my bid."

Zhou Ting looked at him deeply and slowly sat down.

She was surprised that she was able to provoke him like that, yet he remained calm. This person should not be underestimated.

Indeed, he was Situ Bo's most beloved grandson.

At this moment, Lin Meier below said, "The minimum bidding price for Bodhi Fruit is now 200,000 spirit stones. Is there anyone willing to offer a higher price?"

Upon hearing this price, the people below hesitated.

200,000, it had already doubled the original price, which was a bit too exaggerated.

At such a price, it no longer had any cost-effectiveness.

After a while, Lin Meier softly said, "The minimum transaction price for Bodhi Fruit is 200,000 lower-grade spirit stones. Congratulations to the winners of the two Bodhi Fruits."

Jiang Yuan heard this and was overjoyed.

This transaction price far exceeded his expectations.

With this, excluding the Yin Yang Mother-Son Sword he bid on and the Five Elements Spirit Fruit, he still had about 350,000 lower-grade spirit stones.

It shouldn't be a problem to obtain the Yin Yang Mysterious Jade.

Jiang Yuan pondered silently.

After a moment.

A middle-aged woman came to Jiang Yuan's room.

It was the steward who had received Jiang Yuan for the first time.

She handed a Qiankun bag to Jiang Yuan.

"Master Jiang, the two Bodhi Fruits were auctioned for a total of 410,000 lower-grade spirit stones. After deducting the 5% commission, the total is 389,500 lower-grade spirit stones."

"After deducting the 134,000 lower-grade spirit stones you spent on auctioning the Five Elements Spirit Fruit, you still have 255,500 lower-grade spirit stones."

"There are a total of 25 upper-grade spirit stones and 55 middle-grade spirit stones inside. Please check."

Jiang Yuan took the Qiankun bag and scanned it with his divine sense. Not more, not less!

He nodded in satisfaction.

Seeing Jiang Yuan's expression, she handed him a black-gold card.

"This is the most prestigious Black Gold Card of the Treasure Pavilion, representing that you are our most esteemed guest."

"In the future, Master Jiang will enjoy a 10% discount on normal consumption at the Treasure Pavilion! The handling fee for consignment auctions will also be reduced to 3%!"

Seeing Jiang Yuan accept the card, she respectfully said, "Then I'll take my leave. If you have any other needs, just call us on the crystal screen in your hand!"

Jiang Yuan waved his hand and said, "Wait a moment!"

She paused and respectfully asked, "What instructions do you have, Master Jiang?"

Jiang Yuan took out the Yin Yang Mother-Son Sword and the Small Teleportation Talisman from his storage space.

"I'm going to auction an item later, and I'm worried that I won't have enough spirit stones. I want to temporarily mortgage these two items at the Treasure Pavilion. Is that possible?"

She immediately nodded, "Of course, you are our esteemed guest at the Treasure Pavilion. Such a small request can naturally be fulfilled!"

Then she took the Yin Yang Mother-Son Sword and the Small Teleportation Talisman and said, "The Yin Yang Mother-Son Sword will be temporarily mortgaged for 10,000 lower-grade spirit stones, and the Small Teleportation Talisman will be mortgaged for 150,000 lower-grade spirit stones, for a total of 160,000 lower-grade spirit stones. Within one month, you can redeem them at the original price. If it exceeds one month, a monthly storage fee of 1% will be charged!"

Jiang Yuan nodded, "No problem!"

She smiled again and handed three jade plaques to Jiang Yuan.

"Master Jiang, these represent a total of 160,000 lower-grade spirit stones. If you participate in the auction later, you can use these three jade plaques instead of 160,000 lower-grade spirit stones for bidding! Of course, if you don't use them after the auction, you can return these three jade plaques to me, and I will return your mortgaged items intact!"

Jiang Yuan heard her words and nodded again, "No problem!"

When she left the room and closed the door.

Jiang Yuan also breathed a sigh of relief.

The lower-grade spirit stones worth 310,000, he was 90% confident in exchanging them for the Yin Yang Mysterious Jade in his heart.

However, he was afraid of any accidents, so he made this preparation.

As the best foundation for his breakthrough to the Spirit Sea Realm, he didn't want any unexpected situations to occur.

Originally, he wanted to use the boundary stones as collateral, but when he thought about the value of the boundary stones, he immediately felt that it was inappropriate.

Such a precious item might attract the risk-taking of the Treasure Pavilion.

Then he thought about the 5% handling fee he had just been deducted, and his mouth twitched involuntarily.

Having 20,000 lower-grade spirit stones deducted at once made him heartbroken.

But considering the current auction price, the handling fee of over 20,000 was worth it.

Without this auction, a Bodhi Fruit could only be sold for around 120,000 to 130,000 lower-grade spirit stones at most.

It was impossible to have such a high premium.

He looked at the spiritual stones in his storage space, worth about 310,000, plus the 160,000 bidding limit he had mortgaged.

He immediately sat down and waited quietly for the appearance of the Yin Yang Mysterious Jade, feeling relieved.

According to his previous understanding, the transaction price of the Yin Yang Mysterious Jade generally ranged from 150,000 to 250,000 lower-grade spirit stones.

It rarely exceeded the threshold of 300,000 lower-grade spirit stones.

And he currently had access to as many as 470,000 spirit stones, enough to ensure that nothing would go wrong.

He couldn't allow himself to make any mistakes at such a critical moment.

Breaking through to the Spirit Sea Realm was already a must, and there was no room for delay.

So he must obtain the Yin Yang Mysterious Jade this time.

Half an hour later.

Lin Meier uncovered the red cloth in her hand.

"Everyone, please take a look. This is the Yin Yang Mysterious Jade!"

A piece of black and white jade lay quietly on the red cloth.

It looked ordinary, but instantly attracted everyone's attention.

In this auction, the later the item appeared, the higher its value represented.

Seeing the fiery gazes of the crowd, Lin Meier felt very satisfied.

Then she continued, "I believe everyone should have some understanding of this extraordinary item, but I will explain it again."

"This jade contains the Yin and Yang energies, making it the best spiritual object for laying the foundation of the Spirit Sea Realm. If someone is about to break through to the Spirit Sea Realm, this is their best choice."

"If used as a foundation, it naturally harmonizes with the Yin and Yang principles, and there is a chance to comprehend the true meaning of the two great paths of Yin and Yang in the future."

Her tone was solemn, "The importance of this item is very high, I believe everyone has a rough idea!"

"The starting bid is 150,000, and each subsequent bid must not be less than 5,000."

Jiang Yuan immediately entered a bid of 200,000 without hesitation.

Seeing the response in front of her, Lin Meier was secretly surprised. It seemed that VIP No. 18 was determined to obtain the Yin Yang Mysterious Jade!

The first bid had already reached the 200,000 mark.

She glanced at the other bids and then said slowly, "The current highest bid is 200,000. If anyone still has any thoughts, please bid quickly!"

Jiang Yuan now waited quietly for the feedback below, his palms sweating involuntarily.

This item was too important, and there was no room for any mistakes.

Time did not allow him to continue delaying in the Meridian Opening Realm, wasting time in vain.

After a moment, Lin Meier said, "The current highest bid is 220,000. Is there anyone else who wants to continue bidding?"

Upon hearing her words, Jiang Yuan immediately entered a bid of 250,000 lower-grade spirit stones.

After entering the bid, he couldn't help but clench his fist.

Lin Meier glanced at the prompt in front of her and immediately exclaimed, "The current highest bid is 250,000 lower-grade spirit stones. Is there anyone else who wants to continue bidding?"

At this moment, Jiang Yuan wished he could sew her mouth shut.

Next, someone exclaimed in surprise, "Who is this big shot? The bidding is so fierce, jumping by fifty thousand each time. It seems like they're determined to win! You can fight over this price! I give up!"

Someone shook their head and said, "I give up too. Let's look for something else. Ordinary foundation-building spiritual objects can be obtained for ten thousand, but the price for Yin Yang Mysterious Jade is too exaggerated! With the resources purchased for twenty-five thousand low-grade spirit stones, I have enough to cultivate to the Divine Bridge Realm."

Another person said, "Who says otherwise! Moreover, the Five Elements spiritual objects, which are slightly inferior to Yin Yang Mysterious Jade, can be obtained for only thirty to forty thousand, and their effects are almost the same. The difference in price between the two is huge. It's not necessary, and we don't have the means!"

At this time, in another private room, a person nervously entered a bid of two hundred and sixty thousand low-grade spirit stones.

He murmured softly, "This is all my savings. I can't be outbid again. If I am, I really won't have the money to bid anymore!"

After a short while, Jiang Yuan heard Lin Meier's bid of two hundred and sixty thousand, and without hesitation, he entered a bid of two hundred and eighty thousand.

Seeing the bid in front of her, Lin Meier also knew that at this point, there were only two people competing, both wealthy VIPs on the second floor.

Without hesitation, she said, "The latest bid is two hundred and eighty thousand low-grade spirit stones. Any further bids?"

"Wow, what a big spender!" someone below exclaimed.

"Yes! With this price, they even increased it by twenty thousand directly. So ruthless!"

In another VIP room, the man closed his eyes in despair.

The price of two hundred and eighty thousand had completely exceeded his limit.

And judging from the situation, his competitor had abundant financial resources. Even if he borrowed a few tens of thousands temporarily, he probably wouldn't be able to win. There was no need to compete anymore!

Another ten breaths passed.

Lin Meier said, "Congratulations to the winner of the Yin Yang Mysterious Jade. It seems that our Qianyuan Kingdom is about to produce another supreme genius! I wonder how long it will take for this genius to climb the Heavenly Rankings!"

Someone below immediately commented, "I wonder which force this genius belongs to. Their financial resources are so abundant! It definitely indicates the strength of that force. It's estimated that the Heavenly Rankings will change soon!"

"Yes! Using Yin Yang Mysterious Jade as a foundation, once they break through to the Spirit Sea Realm, they will probably have the qualifications to challenge the bottom few on the Heavenly Rankings in a few months!"

...

Upon hearing the discussions below, Lin Meier smiled.

As a high-ranking member of the Treasure Pavilion, she naturally knew the information about the customer in private room number 18.

He was an inner disciple of the Tai Xuan Sect named Jiang Yuan.

Although she had no impression of this name, seeing his bid, she immediately understood that this person couldn't be underestimated. With such a huge fortune, it was enough to explain some things.

Now, using Yin Yang Mysterious Jade as a foundation to break through to the Spirit Sea Realm, once they reached that level, they would be as powerful as a dragon in the sea, causing a stir on the Heavenly Rankings.

She wondered how far he would ultimately go.

Top seventy, or top fifty?

Or maybe top thirty?

As for going further, she shook her head in her heart. It wouldn't be that simple.

The existences beyond thirty were the most outstanding disciples of the major immortal sects.

Their talent was undoubtedly top-notch, their cultivation techniques were top-tier, and they lacked almost nothing in resources.

So the top thirty geniuses were all monsters with all six attributes maxed out, and most of them were not young anymore.

They were approaching the limit of fifty years old.

Under these circumstances, it would be extremely difficult to break into the top thirty.

While you are making progress, they are also making progress.

In a situation where the difference in talent and cultivation resources is not significant, practicing for more than a dozen years would create a huge lead.
