Chapter 243

Chapter 242 Jade Dew Spirit Sprout (Thanks to the members of the Exploding Heaven Gang for the gift with no attribute spiritual root!)

Reducing it by half is indeed good news for those who are already interested.

Therefore, no one complained or hurled insults anymore.

“I’ll call 110!”

“I’ll pay 120!”

“I’ll pay 130!”

Soon, the bidding began.

With round after round of bidding, the price returned to 200 mid-grade spirit stones.

This time, however, everyone’s enthusiasm is particularly high.

Xu Changqing was also interested in the four-season fruit tree, but he didn’t say anything.

Currently, the number of bidders has decreased by two-thirds compared to before.

But there are still five people competing.

I watched as my 200 mid-grade spirit stones increased to 250.

Finally, the five people became two.

These two were quite cautious, bidding precisely at the right time.

Each time, I used 10 mid-grade spirit stones, not daring to use too many, for fear of losing out.

When they reached 270, one of them shook his head in resignation and gave up.

Liu Sang grinned smugly: “Looks like this fruit tree is mine?”

Just then, Xu Changqing finally spoke: “280!”

Upon hearing this, Liu Sang’s smile froze instantly, and she glared angrily at the source of the voice.

This person looked ordinary, just like a common rogue cultivator.

Unexpectedly, they dared to interfere at this crucial moment.

The host smiled and said, “280 once… 280 twice… 280 three times…”

Liu Sang’s heart tightened, and he blurted out, “290!”

To everyone’s surprise, Xu Changqing followed closely behind and said expressionlessly, “300.”

Liu Sang’s expression changed drastically, and he couldn’t help but say, “Fellow Daoist, it’s just a rare fruit tree, why bother?”

Xu Changqing glanced at the other person sideways and said indifferently, “I’ll say the same thing to you.”

Seeing his composure, Liu Sang’s face darkened: “You win, I give up!”

With no one bidding further, Xu Changqing finally spent 300 mid-grade spirit stones to acquire the Four Seasons Fruit Tree.

No, to be precise, they are saplings.

For others, a rare spiritual plant like this would be considered expensive at over 250 mid-grade spirit stones.

Xu Changqing spent 300 to buy it, which seems like a huge premium, but he has an advantage that no one else can have, namely, the max-level Qingzhi.

Even if there is only a one in a thousand chance, and there is a possibility that the mutation will fail.

But he didn’t care; he could wait.

If one year isn’t enough, then ten years will do.

If ten years isn’t enough, then a hundred years will do.

If it can mutate, then it’s a huge profit.

Currently, there are five known variations of the four-season fruit tree.

The Four Spirit Gathering Tree: Its trunk grows in the four directions of east, south, west, and north, and four-colored spiritual patterns appear on its surface.

Effect 1: When cultivating under the tree, the spiritual root of the corresponding season will absorb spiritual energy at a faster rate.

Effect 2: When the fruit ripens, it will exude the Four Symbols Spirit Liquid, which can stabilize one’s cultivation level after consumption.

The Four Seasons Reincarnation Tree: When the fruit ripens, seasonal runes will appear.

Effect 1: Consuming seasonal fruits can increase the speed of cultivating martial arts techniques and spells.

Effect 2: Cultivating under the tree will create a miniature spiritual energy vortex, which is equivalent to having a built-in spirit gathering effect.

The Spiritual Treasure Tree: The tree body transforms into a natural embryonic form of a magical artifact.

Effect 1: Can be crafted into a defensive magical artifact.

Effect 2: The fruits of the four seasons transform into the Spirit Pearls of the Four Seasons.

Effect 3: Its defensive properties change with the seasons.

Seasonal Tree: On each solar term, the fruits on the tree receive temporary blessings.

Effect 1: Different fruits contain different seasonal blessings.

Effect 2: Consuming the fruit will bring a blessing on any solar term.

A rare tree that grows spring buds, summer flowers, autumn leaves, and winter bark simultaneously.

Effect 1: Consuming specific fruit combinations can grant double or multiple amplification effects.

Effect 2: Burying a batch of fruit can change the seasonal characteristics of a certain area.

If it mutates into any of the above types, it cannot be obtained with a mid-grade spirit stone.

This is why Xu Changqing values it so much.

But then something else caught his eye.

The host announced loudly, “This lot is called Jade Dew Spirit Bud, a tea tree!”

In the market town for cultivators, the most expensive tea is the Orchid Mist Tea.

Jade Dew Spirit Sprout is a higher grade, and only disciples of the Immortal Sect can afford to drink it.

Unexpectedly, the fact that an auction could be held in this place caused an uproar.

“Jade Dew Spirit Bud, isn’t that a specialty tea tree of the Jade Dew Sect?”

“The Jade Dew Sect disappeared thirty years ago!”

“Did he keep this up for thirty years and then come out to sell the stolen goods?”

People around them were talking about it.

Xu Changqing narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, “Although the Jade Dew Sect cannot compare to the Dongting Immortal Sect, it once had more than a thousand disciples and could be considered a local overlord.”

But thirty years ago, in just one night, a certain force breached the mountain’s protective formation, slaughtering everyone from the Nascent Soul sect leader to the Qi Refining disciples—not even a dog was spared.

Now it’s fruit trees in all four seasons, and jade dew-covered buds.

The seller behind this is very likely related to the Jade Dew Sect, which was wiped out thirty years ago.

Whether it was a member who participated in the massacre or a survivor, remains unknown.

Even Xu Changqing realized what was happening.

Not to mention the independent cultivators around them.

Therefore, their eyes shone with an eerie light.

The host said nervously, “The starting price for the Jade Dew Spirit Sprout is 200 mid-grade spirit stones, and each bid must be at least 20 mid-grade spirit stones!”

Fortunately, this time, everyone’s attention was focused on the Jade Dew Sect.

Moreover, the price this time is indeed worth the Jade Dew Spirit Bud.

Therefore, it did not cause any dissatisfaction among anyone, and no one insulted his parents.

“220!”

to continue reading the exciting content!

“260!”

“300!”

This time, the number of people participating in the bidding was several times that of before.

Xu Changqing sat at the very back, in a higher position, so he could see clearly.

Even the people in the VIP room are now active, bidding against each other.

To be honest, Xu Changqing was indeed interested in this tea tree.

However, given the current bidding frequency, he simply doesn’t have enough spirit stones in his pocket.

Sure enough, it didn’t take long for them to reach 600 mid-grade spirit stones, and many people’s enthusiasm remained undiminished.

Xu Changqing shook his head: “Forget it, forget it, this tea tree is not meant for me.”

However, he was not in a hurry to leave.

I want to see what price it will eventually reach.

In about ten minutes, it directly reached 1000 mid-grade spirit stones.

At this moment, only one-tenth of the previous number of people are still bidding.

Even so, prices continue to rise.

Just then, a deep voice rang out from the VIP room in the upper right corner: “Gentlemen, please give the Lei family some face, we’ll take this Jade Dew Spirit Sprout.”

Upon hearing the name Lei family, many people’s expressions changed drastically.

Some even shut up completely, no longer daring to bid.

In Dongqing City, especially in the market town for independent cultivators, the most powerful family is…

Besides the Wang family, there was the Lei family, who were skilled in alchemy, and the Sun family, who rose to prominence rapidly by selling wine.

You don’t have to drink alcohol.

But we can’t do without buying the elixirs.

Therefore, many people are willing to give the Lei family face.

This resulted in a decrease in the speed and number of participants in subsequent bidding rounds.

In the end, the Lei family successfully acquired the Jade Dew Spirit Bud Tea Tree for 1240 mid-grade spirit stones!
