Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 1028: Chapter 363: Tallying the Harvest

Fu Changsheng furrowed his brows slightly. Although the Celestial Spirit Talisman Treasure was precious, if the price exceeded 5000 Middle-Grade Spirit Stones, it would be somewhat unworthy. He pondered for a moment and then bid again:

”4500!”

The private room number 30 fell silent for a moment, seemingly weighing the pros and cons. Ultimately, the other party did not bid further.

”4500 Middle-Grade Spirit Stones once, 4500 Middle-Grade Spirit Stones twice, 4500 Middle-Grade Spirit Stones three times!” Elder Qin’s wooden fish dropped heavily, ”Deal! Congratulations to guest number 666 for successfully auctioning the Celestial Spirit Talisman Treasure!”

Fu Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief.

The screen in front of him pulsated with Spirit Light, and shortly thereafter, the Celestial Spirit Talisman Treasure was transported over. After deducting 450,000, he still had 750,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones on hand. If there were other valuable objects to auction off, he could bid one more time. As it was nearing the end, the prices for the remaining treasures would not be low.

As the auction progressed.

The Golden Core Master in private room number 100 was already somewhat impatient:

”Elder Qin, hurry up and present the last few finale treasures”

”Rest assured, fellow Daoist, there are three more items up for auction, and the finale treasures will soon follow.”

Elder Qin said with a smile.

Then he scanned around the private rooms with a hint of mystery:

”Dear Daoists, the upcoming auction items may not compare to the finale treasures, but they are certainly rare to behold. Xiaotao, present the items.”

The moment the words fell.

Xiaotao carried an exquisite jade box to the stage. As the jade box opened, a golden-yellow, slightly fragrant fruit slowly rose. The surface of the fruit had nine patterns, as if it contained endless life force.

”The Nine-Life Fruit, a Tier Three Spirit Fruit, increases lifespan by three years when consumed. It is an excellent spiritual object for prolonging one’s life. It’s effective only upon first consumption, with a starting price of 500 Middle-Grade Spirit Stones and each increase not less than 100 Middle-Grade Spirit Stones!”

Three years of lifespan?!

For cultivators, adding such a small amount to their lifespan was truly negligible, less impactful than chicken ribs.

Those present were all cultivators of the Purple Mansion and above, possessing lifespans of hundreds of years, most wouldn’t view it with favor. If auctioned back, it would likely be for their relatives.

Fu Changsheng was relieved. In this case, there shouldn’t be too many competing for the Nine-Life Fruit. Miss Qin had given him spirit stones totaling only 150,000.

”600!” Fu Changsheng was the first to bid.

”700!” Quickly, other rooms also followed suit.

”800!” Fu Changsheng continued to bid.

”900!” A hoarse voice came from private room number 50.

Fu Changsheng furrowed his brows. The price escalation of the Nine-Life Fruit far exceeded his expectation. It seemed there were quite a few attendees facing imminent lifespan exhaustion.

”1000!” Fu Changsheng gritted his teeth and bid.

”1100!” Private room 50, with virtually no hesitation, decisively increased the bid.

”1200!” Fu Changsheng noticed that only he and private room 50 remained in the bidding, and it seemed that private room 50 was making its first bid since the start, perhaps they were aiming for longevity-enhancing Spirit Pills.

”1300!” Private room 50 bid again.

”1500!” Fu Changsheng simply announced his bottom line.

”1600!” Private room 50 seemed determined.

Fu Changsheng shook his head.

He immediately had no intention of increasing the bid.

Miss Qin had given him only 150,000 spirit stones.

”1600 Middle-Grade Spirit Stones once, 1600 Middle-Grade Spirit Stones twice...” as Elder Qin’s wooden fish was about to fall.

A hurried voice from Qiu Niang suddenly echoed in Fu Changsheng’s Sea of Divine Sense:

”Master, the core of the Nine-Life Fruit, I have a way to cultivate it into a tree!”

Which meant.

He wasn’t auctioning merely a Nine-Life Fruit, but a money tree with endless potential!

Fu Changsheng hurriedly interjected:

”3000!”

Elder Qin, who thought the dust had settled, was taken aback for a moment.

He instinctively swept his Divine Sense over the Nine-Life Fruit. Although its vitality was abundant, it was identical to the one he had consumed before. The Treasure Appraiser hadn’t made a mistake. Generally, unless truly at a dead-end or utterly alone, one wouldn’t spend 300,000 spirit stones to extend their lifespan by three years. After all, 300,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones left to descendants is still a fortune.

Private room 50 hesitated for a moment.

Ultimately, they did not bid again.

Fu Changsheng successfully acquired the [Nine-Life Fruit].

At that moment.

A familiar mechanical voice resonated in his mind:

”Ding”

”You have increased your clan’s assets with a Nine-Life Fruit seed, gaining 1000 Clan Contribution Points”

Right after.

The panel’s Clan Contribution Points changed to 22,000. The previously spent 1000 for intelligence exchange was replenished, and Fu Changsheng felt a surge of joy.

In conversion terms.

He only needed to make up the 150,000 spirit stones difference, meaning it was quite a good deal.

In the auction hall.

Xiaotao had already presented the second treasure.

The red curtain unveiled, and with Elder Qin’s Daoist Technique cast on a delicate jade box, the box opened, and a snow-white lotus emitting a faint chill slowly rose. The lotus petals had subtle golden patterns, as if storing endless vitality.

Everyone’s eyes lit up:

”The Thousand-Year Snow Lotus?!”

This was indeed a rare Tier Four Spiritual Object.

Whether used in medicine or artifact refinement, it was choice spiritual material.

Even the Golden Core Private Rooms circling above the Purple Mansion uttered surprised voices.

Fu Changsheng’s breaths turned heavy.

According to previous intelligence, the wife brought back by Brother Fuu, Haiyun, possessed a latent Water Spirit Body and needed the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus for medication to refine the Blood Transformation Pill, thereby triggering her potential.

If he could acquire this Thousand-Year Snow Lotus.

It would represent an additional Spirit Body cultivator in the clan, which would undoubtedly benefit the family’s future development greatly.
