I am really not a medical immortal.-Chapter 1587 - 1586: Ancient Battlefield Admission Ticket
"Thirty thousand top-grade Spirit Stones!"
"Forty thousand top-grade Spirit Stones!"
"Fifty thousand top-grade Spirit Stones!"
...
After a while, the price jumped directly to two hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones.
These guys are treating top-grade Spirit Stones like they’re nothing!
"Hmm? Could there be something strange about this painting of mountains, rivers, and clouds?" Zhang Xiaohao pondered with a frown.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt there was a high possibility. If there wasn’t something strange about it, it couldn’t be so hotly contested. Two hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones is no small amount! Top-grade Spirit Stones are inherently very rare, even for those in the Mahayana Realm, these stones have significant value. Yet now, in the blink of an eye, two hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones have appeared, which is quite a satire.
"Two hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones, first time!"
"Two hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones, second time!"
"Two hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones..."
Just as Yao Yao was about to announce the third call, a cold and domineering voice rang out.
"Three hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones!"
"This senior has bid three hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones. Is there anyone willing to offer a higher price?" Yao Yao asked with a flower-like smile.
The higher the auction price, the more commission she would earn.
After a while, seeing no one else speak up, Yao Yao smiled sweetly again, deliberately shaking her chest to emphasize.
"Three hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones, first time!"
"Three hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones, second time!"
Three hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones, third..."
Before the last "time" could be uttered, Zhang Xiaohao’s cold voice interrupted.
"Five hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones!"
"What? Who is this kid? He increased the bid by a whopping two hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones in one go. Could he be an heir of a major power?"
"Crazy! These people are truly crazy! Spending this much money just for a ticket to the Ancient Battlefield!"
"These are top-grade Spirit Stones! Not lower-grade or middle-grade stones!"
Upon witnessing this scene, strong individuals from all directions attending the auction lost their voices in shock.
In a luxuriously grand room, Zha Muzhen’s face was extremely unpleasant. He recognized this voice, no matter what form it took! It was the very person who had just beaten him down, snatched away his Sea Snake Three Spirit Fork and storage bag, leaving him penniless. Originally, he intended to secure this Ancient Battlefield ticket, retrieve the item inside, and then come out to seek vengeance on him, crushing him beneath his feet.
But right at this moment, this annoying fellow popped up again, seemingly cutting off his escape route.
"One million top-grade Spirit Stones!" Zha Muzhen gritted his teeth.
"Two million top-grade Spirit Stones!" Zhang Xiaohao said playfully.
"Five million top-grade Spirit Stones!" Zha Muzhen’s eyes flamed with fury.
"Ten million top-grade Spirit Stones!" Zhang Xiaohao calmly put down his wine glass.
"You’re talking nonsense! You can’t possibly produce that many top-grade Spirit Stones!" Zha Muzhen roared in exasperation.
"Whether I can provide that many top-grade Spirit Stones is between me and Tianji Restaurant. It doesn’t concern you!" Zhang Xiaohao retorted disdainfully.
"I demand an investigation of the top-grade Spirit Stones he claims to have!" Zha Muzhen insisted.
"I agree!"
"I have no objections either!"
"I concur!"
One by one, the surrounding old monsters hurriedly chimed in agreement.
"Heh." Zhang Xiaohao smiled playfully and gave the Heavenly Lady a signal.
With a gentle tap on her waist’s storage bag, the Heavenly Lady took out a Sound Transmission Talisman, pointed a finger, and the talisman quickly spun and vanished.
A moment later, Yao Yao on the stage nodded and then announced.
"This gentleman indeed has ten million top-grade Spirit Stones! Tianji Restaurant has already verified it."
"What? Impossible! Even if he was from the royalty, endorsing with royal prestige, he couldn’t guarantee that many!" Zha Muzhen exclaimed in disbelief.
But before he could continue, Yao Yao’s red lips parted, speaking once more.
"Ten million top-grade Spirit Stones, sold! Congratulations to this senior for obtaining the painting of mountains, rivers, and clouds!"
With that said, a maid respectfully removed the painting from the stage.
"Thank you to all the seniors for attending. Today’s auction ends here!" Yao Yao smiled sweetly, then the screen dimmed.
Thud, thud!!!
Outside the room, there was a soft knock at the door.
"Come in!" Zhang Xiaohao said.
As Zhang Xiaohao spoke, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Yao Yao walked in respectfully with a tray in her hands.
"This servant greets Lady Heavenly and this gentleman!" Yao Yao greeted respectfully.
"Hmm." Zhang Xiaohao nodded.
With a single hand, he took the painting of mountains, rivers, and clouds from the tray and gestured for her to leave.
After she left, Zhang Xiaohao unfolded the painting.
A flash of golden light, and the painting floated in the air.
"Strange! It doesn’t seem extraordinary. Just an ordinary landscape painting. Why were so many people fighting over it?" Zhang Xiaohao wondered.
"Indeed! I can’t see anything special either. My lord, why not try infusing your Spiritual Power into it?" the Heavenly Lady suggested.
"Hmm." Zhang Xiaohao nodded.
With a wave of his hand, he channeled Spiritual Power into the painting of mountains, rivers, and clouds.
With the entry of the Spiritual Power from the Shennong Reincarnation Scripture, the painting trembled, rippling with circles of golden waves, as if the scenery within had come to life.
After two hours.
Zhang Xiaohao’s face turned pale, sweat like peas dripping continuously from his forehead and falling to the ground.
"My lord, let me assist you!" the Heavenly Lady said.
With a flicker, she appeared behind Zhang Xiaohao, placing her jade hand on his back, channeling abundant Spiritual Power into his body.
With the support of the Heavenly Lady’s pure Spiritual Power, another two hours passed.
The landscape painting revealed a black marshland with a colossal blood-red tree a thousand feet tall growing from it. Beside it, a line of golden text read — Ancient Battlefield Entrance Ticket!
Whew!
Zhang Xiaohao withdrew his hand, retracting the Spiritual Power, and as it vanished, the painting returned to its original form.
"Ancient Battlefield Entrance Ticket, what’s that?" Zhang Xiaohao asked, puzzled.
"My lord, we’ve struck treasure this time!" the Heavenly Lady exclaimed excitedly.
"Hmm? What’s going on? Explain in detail!" Zhang Xiaohao demanded.
"My lord, this painting is your passage to the Ancient Battlefield. Only with it can you enter the Ancient Battlefield!" the Heavenly Lady explained.
