Chapter 301: Supreme Spiritual Grain
Elder Guan in the private room was surprised that Wu Laoda did not place a bid. He had been ready to bid again, but he did not expect Wu Laoda to remain silent. This was inconsistent with his previous actions. Could it be that this person truly feared the Heaven Demon Sect?
However, this behavior was not in line with Ji Yang’s character. If this person really had a connection to Ji Yang, why would he care about the Heaven Demon Sect? It seemed the earlier assumptions might not be accurate, but after the auction, he definitely needed to meet this person to confirm.
With no one else placing a bid, Elder Guan naturally took the seed for himself.
Seeing that Wu Laoda did not buy, Ji Yang understood the reason.
But this was also good; at least he did not openly offend the Heaven Demon Sect, which might allow for a more relaxed scrutiny later, giving himself a chance.
After the auction of the ninth Spiritual Plant Seed was completed, it was time for the tenth seed.
This seed had no high-level cultivators in the upper private rooms bidding, and Wu Laoda remained silent.
Since it was the last seed, the competition was especially fierce, and the bidding price soared to fifteen thousand spiritual stones!
Each bidder instinctively glanced at Wu Laoda, seemingly waiting for his bid.
Even the last cultivator to secure the seed looked back at Wu Laoda’s seat after hearing the deal.
However, upon realizing this, the cultivator scoffed.
This person was truly infuriating!
After the frenzy of bidding for the Spiritual Plant Seeds passed, Wu Laoda fell silent once more.
In the following auctions, everyone gained something, and even Ren Yuning managed to purchase a rare material with high-level spiritual stones.
Her bid surpassed Wu Laoda’s, and she completed the auction with an overwhelming force.
As the series of auctions continued, the lively atmosphere on site showed no signs of diminishing because the items that appeared later became increasingly rare.
When the Nascent Soul Stage host on stage took out a small bag of spiritual grains, many cultivators’ eyes turned towards it!
That was supreme spiritual grain!
Supreme spiritual grain was worth much more than top-quality spiritual grains; although it was harder to cultivate, this type could enhance the abilities of cultivators at the Spirit Transformation and Void Refinement stages.
While the improvement was minor, it added up over time.
Ji Yang in the private room also focused intently. This supreme spiritual grain was not the Golden Fruit variety of the He Dao Sect, meaning it had been cultivated by other cultivators.
If he could acquire it and eliminate its flaws, then this spiritual grain could very well produce purple Light points, just like the Golden Fruit spiritual grains!
And purple Light points were equivalent to a new magical ability.
This made Ji Yang very eager, but he still could not bid.
He could only observe Wu Laoda’s performance.
He wasn’t sure how many spiritual stones he had left for Wu Laoda, but judging by Wu Laoda’s previous bold bids, it seemed those spiritual grains were quite valuable, perhaps even beyond his expectations.
“I believe everyone has realized this is a small bag of supreme spiritual grains called Lan Lu! These are untreated seeds that can be planted and cultivated!”
“Besides that, this type of spiritual grain is an extremely rare variety, which has not yet circulated in the Cultivation World! It was discovered by a certain friend while exploring an ancient relic, and it is highly likely to be a variety of spiritual plant seeds from the Ancient Times!”
“Also, this spiritual grain is difficult to cultivate, so I hope all friends will bid cautiously!”
“The starting bid for this item is five thousand spiritual stones, and each bidding increment must be no less than one hundred spiritual stones!”
After the Nascent Soul Stage host finished speaking, many people in the audience began to raise their bids.
There were quite a few bidders, including several from the upper private rooms, which indicated they came from different forces, all wanting this supreme spiritual grain!
If it were an ordinary spiritual grain, that would be one thing, but for an ancient spiritual grain, even if it was difficult to cultivate, it still had significant research value.
Soon, this supreme spiritual grain named Lan Lu exceeded thirty thousand spiritual stones.
“Uncle Guan, is this item useful for the sect?”
Inside the private room, Ren Yuning asked curiously.
Elder Guan shook his head slightly:
“This type of spiritual grain is undoubtedly supreme, but the sect has already had Elders examine it, and the difficulty of cultivating this spiritual plant seed is too great, with unavoidable flaws!”
“What flaws are there?”
Ren Yuning asked out of curiosity, while Ji Yang pretended to listen disinterestedly beside her.
He also wanted to know what the flaw of this spiritual grain was.
“That is, this spiritual grain cannot be cultivated over large areas; each Lan Lu spiritual grain must be planted far enough apart in order to grow!”
Even Ren Yuning, who didn’t understand spiritual grain cultivation, frowned slightly upon hearing this.
It was clear that the distance Elder Guan mentioned was not ordinary!
Spiritual grains rely on quantity to succeed, so if cultivating this type of spiritual grain required an extensive spiritual field, it would be quite concerning.
Moreover, the difficulty of cultivating supreme spiritual grains was already quite high, and if the yield for each grain was low, the time and resources spent would not be proportionate.
And a top sect like the Heaven Demon Sect surely had well-established cultivation systems and would not abandon the essential.
On the other hand, Ji Yang seemed to ponder this information.
This could be considered a flaw, but it didn’t seem to impact him much.
After all, Jingtan Peak was his territory now; having a sparse planting was not a problem, and there was a high chance that this type of spiritual plant would produce purple Light points!
That was of great value.
But he could not act yet; he hoped Wu Laoda would handle it wisely! He didn’t want them to make things difficult for him!
“Forty thousand spiritual stones!”
Just as Ji Yang’s thoughts settled, Wu Laoda’s booming voice echoed through the auction hall.
Seeing this, Ji Yang nodded slightly in his heart.
Very good, just like that!
With the price increasing by ten thousand spiritual stones, many cultivators furrowed their brows.
Although it was supreme spiritual grain and an ancient variety, the fact that it was brought to auction suggested there must be significant flaws. Some cultivators had already secretly inquired about the relevant information and learned of its shortcomings.
They bid because it still had sufficient value; even sparse cultivation could be highly beneficial for some sects, as long as it could grow.
However, the current auction price evidently exceeded the value of the supreme spiritual grain itself. Considering its flaws, many cultivators began to reconsider whether this supreme spiritual grain was worth purchasing.
After some deliberation, many cultivators soon gave up on bidding.
But the shouting did not stop.
“Forty-one thousand spiritual stones!”
“Forty-two thousand spiritual stones!”
Voices called out from the upper private rooms.
Seeing that there were still cultivators bidding, Wu Laoda took a moment to glance at the spiritual stones in his storage bag, then raised his arm and shouted,
“Fifty thousand spiritual stones!”
“Hmph, kid, don’t go too far!”
“Give me some face for the Earth Fiend Sect! It’ll be easier to meet again in the future!”
High-level cultivators in the private room couldn’t contain their anger, voicing their complaints.
This was no longer dissatisfaction; it was a clear threat.
