Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags

“We have a guest bidding 2800, any higher bids?”

As soon as the call for 2800 came out, no one in the audience stood up to bid any more.

This price was reasonable, and it came from the VIP room, so there was no need to bid higher.

With the sound of three gongs, the ownership of the Thunder Tribulation seed was finally settled.

A slow smile spread across Jiang Yuan’s face.

His mood became incredibly pleasant.

With this item on the verge of being secured, he was about to add another innate qi movement to his collection.

It was at this moment.

The voice of Mo Lin rang again in Jiang Yuan’s ear.

After he introduced the Five Dragons Inferno Mirage, the crowd below immediately broke into eager bidding.

Jiang Yuan also joined in with interest, as it concerned his haul for the day.

The price quickly soared.

After a long while, the final transaction price was 2600.

Jiang Yuan nodded his head in satisfaction.

It was indeed a great harvest. When it came to wealth, the Dharma Realm truly was rich!

…

“Ladies and Gentlemen, our next item is a divine statue. It is a product of a bygone era and embodies the aura of that righteous deity.”

“It can be used for visualization and divine soul cultivation, it can condense the dharma-nature of your primordial spirit. The dharma-nature it refines is extremely strong, with vast and mighty powers!”

“Everyone, you may project your divine sense onto this bronze statue to feel its strand of mighty power.”

Upon hearing Mo Lin’s words, everyone projected their divine sense onto the bronze statue.

In an instant, they saw a deity from the ancient times, head reaching the heavens, feet stepping on the earth, and holding a pair of axes.

The mountains beside him were as small as a mound.

A moment later…

Someone spoke up, “Elder Mo, just tell us the price! We trust your appraisal!”

Mo Lin nodded, “The starting bid for this item is 3000. Each bid must increase by at least 200. Feel free to make your bids!”

The price of 3000 was like a bucket of cold water poured over the crowd.

This price surpassed many top-grade spiritual treasures.

Immediately, there were complaints. “Elder Mo, isn’t this price outrageous! A starting price of 3000, is the final price expected to exceed 5000?”

“The potency of items from a previous era is uncertain!”

“Indeed! Indeed!” Many people echoed.

Facing the complaints and silence from the crowd, Jiang Yuan thought the item was going to be passed over.

But then Mo Lin suddenly announced, “We have a guest bidding 3100 top-grade spiritual stones, any higher bids?”

“Who’s this naive fool?” Someone exclaimed in astonishment.

“Indeed! Bidding 3100 for a bronze statue of unknown value, is it worth it?”

Another voice sounded, followed by a slow shake of the head.

The next moment…

Mo Lin immediately announced, “We have another guest bidding 3300 any higher bids?”

“Is this a joke? Could it be a plant?” Someone exclaimed in surprise.

In a private room…

Yun Muyao offered a faint smile, “Junior Brother, see? There are people bidding!”

Jiang Yuan could not help asking, “And if no one had bidden? Wouldn’t it just fall back on us?”

“If no one bade, I would have bought it. We can place it in the mansion to ward off evil spirits. Isn’t that good?”

Jiang Yuan: “…”

At this moment, Mo Lin announced once more, “Another guest has bidden 3500, any higher bids?”

Jiang Yuan and Yun Muyao looked at each other.

“Don’t look at me like that, Junior Brother, I didn’t bid!”

Bang—

A loud noise was heard as the window of a private room not far from Jiang Yuan suddenly opened, “I, Li Heng, bid 4000, dare you to continue?”

“So it’s Brother Li who’s been competing with me!”

A man’s voice calmly sounded. He then also pushed open his window.

“I, Wang Ke, bid 4500. What about you, Brother Li?”

Yun Muyao lightly laughed, “Turns out it’s these two. Junior Brother, looks like you’re about to get rich!”

“What do you mean?” Jiang Yuan asked curiously.

Yun Muyao smiled faintly, “These two are descendants of two Elders from our Sacred Land, and they have long had grievances between them! They’re both young and vigorous. In this battle between them, you’ll be the one who benefits the most!”

Upon seeing Wang Ke, Li Heng’s face turned gloomy.

“So it’s Wang Ke, who loved to imitate barking dogs as a child!”

“I bid 5000!”

Facing the escalating tension between the two, the crowd below dared not to get involved.

“This is going to be a good show, these two bumped into each other!”

“Indeed! Both of their ancestors are Elders of the Tianhe Sacred Land, and they are both favored by these two elders. The one who’s selling the bronze statue is going to get a windfall!”

“Damn, that makes me so envious! The item with the highest bid tonight will undoubtedly be this bronze statue!”

“Of course! Both of them are fighting for face now!”

“…”

When Wang Ke heard this, his face immediately turned ghastly pale.

When he was foolish and naive as a child, he did enjoy following a dog around, barking as it did!

But Li Heng’s behavior made him furious.

Originally, he was only curious about this bronze statue. The dharma-nature that such a statue could condense can be weak or strong.

A strong bronze statue can yield a dharma-nature among the top hundreds or even the top tens of the world!

A weak bronze statue can yield a mediocre dharma-nature.

He was also trying his luck with a gambling mind.

3000 top-grade spiritual stones were worth a try for his path of dharma-nature.

But now, it was not just a matter of cost, but it also involved face and dignity.

The next moment, he declared, “6000!”

“Wang Ke, don’t overstep and bite off more than you can chew! When bidding here, you need to have real ability. You can’t lie.”

After saying this, Li Heng gave a slight smile, “7000!”

Wang Ke’s face turned pale and then back to normal because he saw that the money he brought was nowhere near enough for 8000.

He then said, “7700!”

“8000!” Li Heng immediately followed up, confidently saying, “This is my final bid. If you can bid a single spiritual stone higher, I will yield to you and publicly apologize to you. How about that?”

“Good, today, I will remember you!” Wang Ke’s face turned gloomy and he looked very upset.

He then swept his hand and closed the window.

“Junior Brother, are you happy?”

Jiang Yuan’s face slowly turned into a smile, “Of course!”

In his heart, he thought.

Is this a feud between tycoons?

Not bad!

Mo Lin, seeing all this, was about to strike the gong three times.

Li Heng threw a Heaven and Earth Bag in front of Mo Lin.

“Just announce it! There are 8000 top-grade spiritual stones in here!”

Mo Lin looked at the audience and then nodded, “Sold for 8000, congratulations to Young Master Li Heng on obtaining the treasure!”

Li Heng made a gesture, and the bronze statue flew into his hand.

The window was then closed.

“Damn it! So enviable, 8000 top-grade spiritual stones! Even in my lifetime, I can’t earn that.”

“Who doesn’t think so! The difference between people is really damn huge! They are destined to be extraordinary from birth!”

“What can we do? Who asked them to be born in a good family!”

“Sigh!”

The crowd sighed.

Their looks were filled with envy, jealousy, and so on.
