Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 468: Chapter 227: Gifts Prepared for Senior Sisters

The auction price for one drop of the Thousand-year-old Spirit Milk is about 400 Mid-grade Spirit Stones. Selling 10 drops together would be 4000 Spirit Stones.

This price, Ji Yuan can afford. Even if it were higher, it wouldn’t matter.

After all, Celestial Silkworm Zhenren just gave him 100 Upper-grade Spirit Stones, 6450 Mid-grade Spirit Stones.

The entire wealth of a Golden Core Zhenren. If he wants to buy these 10 drops of Thousand-year-old Spirit Milk, it shouldn’t be too much of an issue.

So, this item must be acquired.

Ji Yuan flipped to the next page.

Next is the essence blood, corpse, and Demon Pill of a Tier Three Serpent, sold separately. It’s also marked with the origin of this Tier Three Serpent.

Tier Three Demon Beast—Earth-turning Serpent.

Earth attribute Demon Beast.

Since that’s the case, Ji Yuan isn’t interested in its Demon Pill. He’ll just aim to acquire the corpse and essence blood.

A dragon-slaying auction, yet this serpent’s corpse is only the second-to-last highlight item.

Ji Yuan flipped to the last page, the highlight item of this auction… it’s a slot!

A disciple slot for a Golden Core Zhenren.

This kind of slot auction, Ji Yuan is seeing for the first time.

As long as you win this spot, you can become a disciple of Spirit Jade Zhenren.

Spirit Jade Zhenren, it’s unknown what cultivation level he is, but since he’s placed as the final highlight, it’s likely to fetch a very high price… once you win this slot, you essentially gain the backing of a Golden Core Zhenren.

How could this price be cheap?

“Who is this Spirit Jade Zhenren?”

Ji Yuan closed the booklet in his hand and turned to ask Ning Shanshan.

“Spirit Jade Zhenren is a Loose Cultivator from the Spirit Sword Cave, the towering tree behind all Loose Cultivators in Lanshan City. It’s because of him that our Loose Cultivators can fare much better in Lanshan City.”

Ning Shanshan whispered, “Do you know, Senior, about the Nine Nether Cave Heaven opening a few years ago?”

“I know.”

“At that time, it was Spirit Jade Zhenren who helped us Loose Cultivators negotiate with the Six Immortal Sects, and in the end, secured us a slot.”

“Oh?”

It was him after all!

Ji Yuan knew about this but didn’t know who the Golden Core Zhenren representing the Loose Cultivators in negotiations with the Six Immortal Sects was. Unexpectedly, Spirit Jade Zhenren was one of them.

Thinking of it this way, it makes sense that he would auction off this slot.

“Has he auctioned disciple slots before?”

“No, this is the first time. His disciples are very few; so far, he’s only taken two disciples. If this slot is auctioned off, it could be his third disciple, and it’s said it might be a Closed-door Disciple.”

Ning Shanshan was not only observant but also knew all the details of the city’s affairs.

Ji Yuan nodded slightly, thus indicating that the final slot auction is most likely a competition between the Spirit Control Sect and the Corpse Transporting Mountain Sect.

Securing this Golden Core Realm Loose Cultivator would be greatly beneficial to their sects.

Especially on the eve of the imminent battle between righteous and demonic forces.

Looking further ahead.

Rather than saying Spirit Jade Zhenren is auctioning his disciple slot, it’s more like he’s auctioning himself.

With the righteous and demonic battle about to begin, he might want to find a place for shelter, but perhaps his previous facade was too heavy, making it difficult to directly join a sect, so he uses this guise to pledge allegiance.

This way both parties can save face.

And Spirit Jade Zhenren can also earn a considerable settlement fee through this auction.

Thoughts in Ji Yuan’s mind spun rapidly, and the more he thought, the more he believed it to be so.

’With this in mind, it seems this auction is bound to be quite lively.’

Ji Yuan began to take inventory of his belongings in the Storage Bag.

After leaving the auction house, the sky had already darkened, so Ji Yuan let Ning Shanshan lead him to find a residence of immortals, a luxurious inn.

After leading the way, Ning Shanshan was getting ready to leave.

But Ji Yuan arranged a lodging for her as well, explaining that he would need her help guiding him the next day, which made the young girl very happy.

Ji Yuan smiled, not paying too much attention.

He wasn’t lying.

After attending the auction, Ji Yuan needed to go to Mirror Lake, but the situation at Mirror Lake was uncertain.

Therefore, the gifts prepared for his senior sisters had to be ready here.

That night.

As the night deepened, Ji Yuan, having finished inventorying his Storage Bag, quietly replaced the “Transformation Talisman” on his body, changing from the appearance of a middle-aged man to that of an old man. Only then did he use the Shadow Stepping Technique to leave his residence.

Then, under the moonlight, he made his way to the auction house.

The auction is about to start, and since it’s not yet the day of ranking, even deep at night, the auction house was brightly lit.

After all, some cultivators prefer to move at night and refuse to come out during the day.

The auction house naturally had to consider them.

The Foundation Establishment Ji Yuan arrived at the auction house’s entrance and was naturally greeted by the maidservants. Amidst their compliments, he was eventually led to the appraisal room.

Inside, a black-robed elder of mid-stage Foundation Establishment awaited. Upon seeing Ji Yuan, he stood up and saluted.

“Greetings, fellow Daoist.”

Ji Yuan returned the salute.

The maidservant left, leaving the two Foundation Establishment Immortals alone in the room.

“Please have a seat, Daoist friend,” the black-robed elder gestured, and once Ji Yuan sat down, he thoughtfully offered Spirit Tea before speaking with a smile:

“I wonder if there’s anything you wish to auction, Daoist?”

Ji Yuan said nothing, merely taking out two Jade Bottles, which contained a few scattered Elixirs.

But upon seeing this, the black-robed elder immediately perked up, not even having time to put down his Spirit Tea, he leaned in for a closer look.
