I am really not a medical immortal.-Chapter 1586 - 1585: The Landscape of Mountains, Rivers, Water, and Clouds (Fifth Update!)
"Esteemed seniors, esteemed guests, and fellow cultivators... We welcome you all for spending your precious time to honor Tianji Restaurant with your presence at today’s auction! The upcoming auction will be hosted by me, Yao Yao. I believe everyone is a bit impatient already, correct? In that case, Yao Yao announces that the auction starts now!"
The large screen flickered, and the alluring woman who had been dressed daringly and with a fiery figure recently appeared again, now in a sheer red long dress, and walked up from the back. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
"Master, the auction has begun," the Heavenly Lady reminded.
"Hmm!" Zhang Xiaohao nodded.
He continued drinking spiritual wine and enjoying the delicious dishes. These dishes and the spiritual wine, even for an elder at the Nascent Soul Realm, are great supplements, and naturally, Zhang Xiaohao wouldn’t be courteous.
Among the three of them, the sumptuous dishes at this table would benefit Guan Lingshan the most.
The Heavenly Lady was already a supreme expert at the Refining Void Realm, and these exquisite dishes meant nothing more than a craving for her palate. Zhang Xiaohao was an anomaly; he was clearly only at the mid-stage Foundation Establishment but required spiritual power accumulation several tens or even hundreds of times more than others to cultivate the Shennong Reincarnation Scripture. As these lavish meals and spiritual wine were consumed, a vast amount of spiritual energy was absorbed and refined by the Shennong Reincarnation Scripture, eventually vanishing into who knows where.
In contrast, Guan Lingshan was currently just an ordinary person—well, an ordinary person with spiritual energy. Her physique was slightly stronger than that of a regular person, and under the bounty of such sumptuous dishes, waves of dense spiritual energy emanated intermittently from her body.
"Hmm? How could I forget about this?" Zhang Xiaohao slapped his forehead, internally berating his oversight.
With a pat on the storage bag on his waist using one hand, he took out a spirit root detection orb.
"Lingshan, place your hand on this," Zhang Xiaohao instructed.
"Okay." Guan Lingshan nodded, not asking for reasons, and followed Zhang Xiaohao’s instructions by extending her right hand to place it on the milky-white orb in his hand.
Buzz!
At once, a sky-blue bubble emanated from the milky orb, with thick water-attributed spiritual energy flooding the entire private room instantly.
"A water-attributed Heavenly Spirit Root? Not bad! The talent truly is formidable!" Zhang Xiaohao praised as he put away the white orb.
"Ah! Master Qu, is this true?" Guan Lingshan asked excitedly.
After surviving these days, Guan Lingshan had gained some understanding of the talents in the Spirit Realm and knew what kind of cultivation talent was the best and allowed the fastest cultivation speed.
"Hmm!" Zhang Xiaohao nodded.
"Yay! That’s wonderful." Hearing Zhang Xiaohao’s words, Guan Lingshan cheered excitedly. Even with her mature disposition, she couldn’t help feeling excited upon learning she had a water-attributed Heavenly Spirit Root.
"Unfortunately, I don’t have a water-attributed cultivation technique!" Zhang Xiaohao said with a shake of his head.
"Master, how could you forget your servant? Just now, I hadn’t given sister Lingshan a meeting gift yet. This water-attributed cultivation technique can be taken as the meeting gift from your servant to sister Lingshan!" The Heavenly Lady smiled slightly.
"How powerful is it?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.
"It’s a top-tier cultivation technique! It can be cultivated up to the Unification Peak! Once a small success is achieved, even the slightest movement will carry immense persuasive power, making it hard for peers to resist! This water-attributed cultivation technique was something your servant obtained during a daring venture into an Ancient Battlefield to break through from the Nascent Soul Perfection to the Divinity Transformation Realm!" The Heavenly Lady explained.
"You’re thoughtful," Zhang Xiaohao nodded.
"Master, your words are too kind. I felt an affinity with sister Lingshan at first sight. Just a mere cultivation technique doesn’t matter much!" The Heavenly Lady smiled.
With a graceful pat on her waist, she took out a sky-blue book. As soon as the book appeared, a thick water elemental aura emanated from it, carrying a desolate and timeworn feeling.
"Sister Lingshan, this cultivation technique is called the ’Source of a Myriad Waters.’ It is extremely powerful and very suitable for you!" The Heavenly Lady explained.
She then handed the ’Source of a Myriad Waters’ over.
"Heavenly Maiden, thank you for your meeting gift! If there’s ever a call for assistance in the future, I certainly won’t stand by idly!" Guan Lingshan said, trying to contain her excitement.
"We are sisters, no need to mention such things," the Heavenly Lady smiled.
"Since your Heavenly Sister has already given you a meeting gift, I cannot be stingy. Here are six ancient magic treasures and some cultivation elixirs; consider it your meeting gift!" Zhang Xiaohao said, patting his waist with one hand and taking out some items to hand over.
"Thank you, Master Qu!" Guan Lingshan said.
"Hmm," Zhang Xiaohao nodded noncommittally.
"Sister Lingshan, these dishes are made from monsters above the Nascent Soul Realm. Now, you should comprehend this ’Source of a Myriad Waters’ to utilize this strong spiritual energy from nature and strive to establish your Foundation in one go! I will protect you!" The Heavenly Lady said.
"I leave it to you, Sister," Guan Lingshan nodded.
Immediately, under the guidance of the Heavenly Lady, she earnestly comprehended the ’Source of a Myriad Waters.’
Zhang Xiaohao drank and ate as he watched the various treasures on the big screen.
From the start of the auction until now, although many rare treasures had appeared and the scene was lively, no massive commotion had been stirred.
The auction continued in full swing.
"Thank you, esteemed seniors, for gracing us with your presence. Tonight’s auction is about to conclude, and now, we present a precious treasure!" Yao Yao sweetly smiled.
As her words fell, a maid astutely brought up a tray, covered with a large red cloth.
Only to see Yao Yao unveil the red cloth, revealing a painting.
With one hand holding the painting, Yao Yao lifted it and displayed it in front of everyone.
"This is a painting of rivers and clouds, just an ordinary supreme magic artifact, unexpectedly acquired by Tianji Restaurant. After evaluation by various masters, we still cannot determine its specific purpose, though its materials are exceptionally peculiar, such that even a cultivator at the Nascent Soul Perfection cannot break it with full force. This shows it must be an extraordinary treasure! Now I announce, the starting price for this ’Painting of Rivers and Clouds’ is ten thousand supreme spirit stones! Each bid increment must not be less than one thousand supreme spirit stones!" Yao Yao sweetly smiled.
"Twenty thousand supreme spirit stones!"
Just as Yao Yao’s voice faded, an elderly voice eagerly echoed.
"Fool!" Hearing this hasty voice, all other cultivators present inwardly cursed, wishing they could slap this person to death if they could.
However, since a bid was already made, even if they felt angry inside, they had to hold their noses and bid as well.
