Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 415: Chapter 215: Bloody Relic, Purple Mist Flower, City Construction Map (2)

”Next up for auction is a Nameless Flower picked from the Blood-colored Forbidden Area.”

With that.

Elder Qin waved his sleeve.

The red cloth was unveiled.

The Nameless Flower in the box on the tray appeared instantly.

The flower was the size of a bowl, with seven petals that had an illusory and colorful glow, shimmering with a peculiar brilliance. Its pistil, like a purple gem, emitted a radiant glow.

”This Nameless Flower, according to the picker, grows in the land of Seven-Colored Cloud. Its specific effects are unknown, but based on the Spiritual Qi it emanates, its tier should be between Tier Three Low-Grade and Tier Three Middle-Grade. Items from the Blood-colored Forbidden Area are exceedingly rare, especially for alchemists. It’s an invaluable research material, and perhaps this could be some extinct Ancient Spiritual Flower, encountered by chance and rare to find.”

The starting bid is one thousand Spirit Stones.

Each subsequent bid must not be less than one hundred Spirit Stones.

The bidding starts now!”

One thousand Spirit Stones to buy a Spirit Flower of unknown use.

Besides the Tier Two High-Grade Alchemists and those with ample resources, most present had little interest.

Fu Changsheng focused his gaze for a moment.

He couldn’t determine the use of this Spirit Flower either.

But to avoid missing a treasure.

He decided with a thought:

”Exchange intelligence”

Buzz!

The panel trembled.

A stream of yellow light surged.

Soon, lines of text manifested:

[1: The 176th auction item is an heirloom of the Gongsun Family ancestor. It contains hidden mysteries, including a City Construction Map capable of resisting attacks from a Great Cultivator of the Purple Mansion in ancient times]

[2: What you have before you is a Purple Mist Flower. Its petals, when made into floral tea, greatly aid Grandmaster Yu’s recovery from injuries]

[3: .....]

.....

Fu Changsheng’s eyes lingered on the first and second pieces of information, his surface calm as water yet inwardly brimming with excitement. He had only planned to bid for Soul Nourishing Grass.

Unexpectedly.

The City Construction Map capable of resisting a Great Cultivator of the Purple Mansion appeared.

Besides.

There was also the Purple Mist Flower that could heal Uncle Yu.

Regardless of the method used.

He was determined to acquire these two auction items.

Elder Qin had been calling for bids for quite some time, but no one offered a price.

A guest on the second floor grew impatient and suddenly stood up, speaking in a buzzing voice:

”This Nameless Flower was obtained by yours truly in the Blood-colored Forbidden Area, genuinely authentic. If it wasn’t for aiming to bid for a Foundation Establishment Pill for my granddaughter, I wouldn’t have brought this Nameless Flower for auction.”

It was the first time a seller publicly revealed their identity.

The audience buzzed with discussions.

One thousand Spirit Stones would surely be unaffordable for Qi Cultivators to buy this Nameless Flower with unknown medicinal effects.

As Fu Changsheng contemplated making a bid.

Someone in suite twelve on the third floor said slowly:

”Considering this fellow cultivator’s love for his granddaughter, I’ll bid one thousand one hundred.”

However.

As soon as the bid was made by the third floor.

The guests on the second floor, including the Foundation Establishment cultivators with some spare money, couldn’t hold back, fearing missing out on a treasure.

Continuous calls followed:

”I’ll bid one thousand two hundred”

”One thousand three”

”One thousand four”

”One thousand five”

”.....”

Fu Changsheng observed the situation, realizing they would raise the price even higher if he waited, knowing it was time to act, so he promptly said:

”Two thousand five hundred!”

The previous highest bid was only one thousand seven.

Fu Changsheng increased the bid by eight hundred Spirit Stones.

Everyone paused for a moment.

After considering it, they felt spending nearly three thousand Spirit Stones on a Spirit Flower of unverified efficacy was ultimately not worth it, as good items were yet to come.

The elderly seller saw that no one else was speaking.

He hurriedly began to say:

”I once used this flower...”

The words were cut short.

Interrupted by Elder Qin:

”Esteemed guest, you cannot take away my livelihood like this.”

It was a tacit warning, for auction rules prohibited revealing the identity of the item’s owner.

The old man reluctantly swallowed his words, knowing that breaking the rules would disqualify him from bidding on the Foundation Establishment Pill later.

”Two thousand five hundred once, two thousand five hundred twice, two thousand five hundred three times!”

Ding!

The small hammer struck the auction table.

Elder Qin gestured and announced:

”The Nameless Flower goes to guest number sixty-eight on the third floor. Next auction item is...”

Elder Qin continued.

A maid carried the Purple Mist Flower into box sixty-eight; after Fu Changsheng verified it, the Spirit Stones on his token were deducted. As the maid left, Wu Clan Leader and Liuu Qingmin eyed the Purple Mist Flower, which Fu Changsheng carefully stored, both thinking he had been rather extravagant.

Fu Changsheng was overjoyed.

Once he finds a Tea Master to make the Purple Mist Flower into floral tea, Uncle Yu’s recurring injuries could be suppressed. As he contemplated this, a familiar mechanical voice sounded in his mind:

”Ding, you purchased a Tier Three High-Grade Purple Mist Flower for the clan’s Array Master, earning three hundred sixty Clan Contribution Points”

Huh?

Fu Changsheng’s heart was delighted.

The Purple Mist Flower’s grade clearly surpassed Elder Qin’s initial estimate significantly, and would sell for at least four to five thousand Spirit Stones if placed in the Marketplace, and even then would be beyond grasp.

Fu Changsheng glanced at the contribution points on his panel.

It had now increased to six thousand three hundred.

Next.

Fu Changsheng made no further bids.

As the crowd grew weary, Elder Qin first presented a Foundation Establishment Pill for auction, reigniting everyone’s enthusiasm, and this pill was pushed up to thirty-eight thousand Spirit Stones, a price far exceeding previous auctions.

The winner of the Foundation Establishment Pill was customer ninety-nine on the first floor; after receiving the pill from the maid, he didn’t linger and immediately left the auction hall.
