The auction was proceeding in an orderly manner with a series of rare and unique treasures on display, treating all attendees with a feast for their eyes.

What seemed ordinary to Jiang Li was considered priceless and unattainable to others.

“This is the upgraded version of the Spirit Rice introduced by the Wind and Rain Spirit Plant Sect. Its spiritual energy content is three to five times greater than that of its common counterpart found throughout the Nine Provinces. It can be harvested twice a year and will only lose its special properties and turn into normal Spirit Rice after twenty times of harvest.”

“The starting price is 1,200 medium-quality Spirit Stones.”

A small bag of the upgraded Spirit Rice triggered a fierce competition among many powers, including some major ones.

After all, which power didn’t harbor younger generations?

Those who didn’t practice fasting could still utilize Spirit Rice. Even for those who practiced fasting, it simply meant they didn’t need to eat, not that they couldn’t.

This high-density Spirit Rice also had certain effects on cultivators who had already practiced fasting.

Jiang Li, however, was not interested in this item.

After all, the worst among the Imperial Palace were at the Divinity

Transformation Stage and were highly gifted, so they didn’t need Spirit Rice.

The Red Dust Desktop did need this kind of Spirit Rice, but being one of the six major sects, they directly bought the best Spirit Rice from the Wind and Rain Spirit Plant Sect.

The Spirit Rice sold at the auction was not the best product from the Wind and Rain Spirit Plant Sect, but rather the underqualified product from the research on Spirit Rice.

Why would they sell their best stuff? It’s not like they were lacking Spirit Stones.

Their presence at the auction was merely for promotion.

Even these failed products were better than the widely circulated Spirit Rice.

“The shed skin of a Flood Dragon, just one step away from becoming a true dragon. The inner side remains covered by gooey Flood Dragon mucus that aids in body refinement.”

“The starting price is 5,000 medium-quality Spirit Stones.”

The Flood Dragon skin displayed on the stage was incomplete, otherwise, the price would have been much higher.

“I, Yu Quan, have taken a liking to this item. I hope everyone can give me some face and not bid against me. So, 5,000 medium-quality Spirit Stones!” A boastful voice came from one of the VIP rooms. He mentioned giving face, but his tone suggested anything but, it sounded more like a threat.

“It’s the young master from the Yu Clan, a clan guarded by two Divinity Transformation Peak elders! No one has ever snatched anything he sets his eyes on!” Someone exclaimed, “Whoever dares to compete with him is walking a dead-end road!”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li immediately raised the bid, “6,000 medium-quality Spirit Stones.”

“Hmph!” Yu Quan was displeased to see someone not giving him face, he memorized Jiang Li’s face, sneered chillingly with a trace of cruelty, “6,500 Spirit Stones. Let’s see who dares to raise the bid now!”

“12,000 medium-quality Spirit Stones.” Without a second thought, Jiang Li doubled the price.

Yu Quan’s face turned ominous, just who was this nouveau riche throwing money around so recklessly?

“Thunderwood, starting price 8,000 medium-quality Spirit Stones.”

“I, Ma Hua, find this item quite pleasing. I hope everyone will lend a helping hand.” An unreasonable voice came from the VIP room.

“It’s the young master from the Ma clan, Ma Clan is…”

“16,000 medium-quality Spirit Stones.” Concerned that Yu Quan would lose face and seek revenge, Jiang Li decided to outbid this Ma Hua. What was that guy’s name again, something horse?

It didn’t matter, the bid had been made. 𝐟r𝗲𝚎𝚠e𝐛no𝘃𝗲𝐥.c𝗼m

‘My fellow Daoist, we’re all cultivators, and it’s not uncommon for us to get heavily injured while traveling at night.” Ma Hua spoke in a sinister tone, “I bid 16,001 Spirit Stones.”

“32,000 medium-quality Spirit Stones.” Jiang Li was hoping for an opportunity to get injured, so upon hearing Ma Hua’s threat, he happily doubled the price.

“Very well, you’ve done well!” Ma Hua clenched his teeth and sat down in anger, starting to contemplate the kind of lesson he would teach Jiang Li. “Soul Severing Grass, starting price 7,500 medium-quality Spirit Stones.”

“This item, I Zhang…”

“It’s the young master from the Zhang Clan, Zhang Clan is…”

“15,000 medium-quality Spirit Stones.” As soon as Jiang Li heard the familiar pattern, he reflexively raised his bid.

“This item, I…”

“It’s…” “Double.” “This item, I…”

“It’s…”

“Double.”

“This item, I Zhu Yi…

Jiang Li waited for a while and didn’t hear anyone exclaiming next to him, so he asked that person who only knew how to exclaim.

“Brother, you haven’t introduced Zhu Yi yet. I am not sure how to bid.”

The man was almost in tears, “Fellow Daoist, we’ve had no conflicts, please leave me be. You can provoke these powerful lords all you want, but don’t drag me into it. Look at the way those young masters are looking at us, they all think we’re in cahoots.”

Jiang Li looked up and saw that all those young masters he’d deliberately provoked were looking at him and the man next to him with hostility.

That man was quite knowledgeable and he knew almost everyone in the VIP rooms. Usually, he liked to introduce who’s who to people with his favorite exclamatory tone, thereby showing off his knowledge and gaining a sense of satisfaction.

After today, he dared not do it again.

Jiang Li figured that having provoked so many people now, there would probably be many wanting to teach him a lesson, so he chose to let it go.

He felt that the man who had been introducing people to him had a pretty tough job, so he discreetly gave him a Spirit Gathering Talisman to aid his future cultivation.

“Bone Healing and Blood Vitality Pills can dredge the meridians, cleanse the marrow and open acupoints.”

“Starting price, 10,000 medium-quality Spirit Stones.”

A pleading voice came from the VIP room, “I’ll introduce myself, I’m Jin Shi from the Jin Clan, with three Divinity Transformation elders in my family.

These Bone Healing and Blood Vitality Pills are of great use to me. I hope the

‘doubling fellow Daoist’ below the stage could spare me this time.”

Jiang Li didn’t make any further bids, someone quickly shouted the bid of 11,000 medium-quality Spirit Stones, and the auction restored its regular order.

Since Jiang Li had been bidding randomly, he naturally caught the attention of those behind the auction. They asked him to prove that he had sufficient financial resources to afford these bids. Jiang Li pulled out a small mountain of high-quality Spirit Stones, easily proving himself as a nouveau riche.

The arrogant aristocratic disciples knew they couldn’t compete with Jiang Li in terms of wealth, so they thoroughly gave up on competing with him and looked forward to teaching him a lesson after the auction ended.

“Millennium Flesh Lingzhi, an excellent conduit of nurturing souls, with the effect of reshaping the flesh.”

The auctioneer enthusiastically introduced the rare Millennium Flesh Lingzhi, which caught the attention of some people. Their family had elders who only had their souls left, yet their longevity had not ended, they still had hundreds of years left to live.

Compared with seizing a body, they preferred to shape a body on their own.

Ruyi Gourd coveted the Millennium Flesh Lingzhi being auctioned off, but dared not say anything.

Ruyi Gourd thought it was better to be a human, so it secretly supported the

Spirit Medicine Sect in speedily researching the Lingbao Transformation Elixir.

However, it just received a secret message from the Sect Master of the Spirit Medicine Sect, saying that Jiang Li, the Human Emperor, had prohibited research, hence the Spirit Medicine Sect had to give up.

Since the Spirit Medicine Sect couldn’t be relied upon, Ruyi Gourd figured it could only rely on itself. Its main objective of attending today’s auction was this Millennium Flesh Lingzhi. Who would have guessed that it would encounter Jiang Li here?

Could it be that its thoughts had been discovered? Ruyi Gourd was scared.

“Why aren’t you bidding on anything?” Jiang Li curiously asked when the auction was about to reach the last three mysterious items.

“Just here for the spectacle, I don’t intend to buy anything.” Ruyi Gourd replied nervously.

“Did you see anything you liked? I can buy it for you.” Jiang Li kindly offered.

“No, definitely not.” Ruyi Gourd quickly refused..
