Chapter 850 - 768: A Lump Sum of Twenty Billion!
Inside the treasure appraisal room.
Long Zixuan, Qing Chen, Wu Xiaokun, and Xuan Qingyi all clutched their noses and mouths tightly.
Even though Long Zixuan and Qing Chen had seen it all before, they still couldn’t withstand it now.
The main issue was that the appraisal room was sealed shut, and moreover, those Dao Patterns were still glowing, preventing even a hint of the scent from dissipating, filling the room with a dense fragrance.
Xuan Qingyi and Wu Xiaokun were even questioning their life choices at this point, what on earth was in that box?
What kind of Spiritual Medicine would have such a potent… that kind of scent!
“Junior Brother Da De, please withdraw your Divine Skills!”
Qing Chen and the others couldn’t help but speak up.
At this moment, Wu Dade, too, looked somewhat green in the face, as he pinched his nose and stepped forward to close the box.
The Dao Patterns on the walls were glowing, driving all the “medicinal fragrance” back into the box.
Suddenly, the air in the room felt fresh again.
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Wu Dade stepped forward, pinched the philtrum of Ai Shi, and before long, Ai Shi slowly came to.
In his old eyes, there seemed to be a tint of intoxication as he said,
“Such powerful Spiritual Medicine… such powerful Spiritual Medicine!”
“The legendary ‘sky-bound medicinal qi’ is real… and it even knocked someone out!”
“Having witnessed such a rare medicine, this old man has no more regrets in life!”
He was deeply moved, looking at the box on the table, his old eyes brimming with delight!
“Elderly predecessor… This thing, how much is it worth?”
Wu Dade cautiously inquired.
“What do you mean ‘this thing’? This is called Spiritual Medicine, a rare medicine!”
Ai Shi, however, was displeased, and with a stern face, said,
“You all are really too careless!”
“Such a rare medicine, even using an ordinary Jade Vial, might not hold the medicinal fragrance… yet you all went ahead and used such a crude box, defiling such precious medicine!”
He looked as if he was disappointed in them as if scorning their ignorance, got up, and took two containers made of supreme quality jade, saying,
“I have here containers made from ‘Supreme Spirit-Gathering Jade’ that can preserve the medicinal fragrance. I’ll transfer the precious medicine into these.”
But, seeing this, Long Zixuan and the others panicked.
Open the box again?
“There’s really no need!”
Wu Dade also cried out,
“Predecessor… how about, you give us the money first, we leave, and then you take your time to enjoy it?”
Ai Shi looked at these young people and grew more irritated by the moment.
Why are they only thinking of money?
Have they become blinded by money?
Can’t they respect a valuable treasure just a little?
Truly a bunch of ignorant youngsters.
He sighed helplessly and said:
“Such precious medicinal herbs… their value is immeasurable. If we consider using Origin Stones, at least… a million as a starting price!”
Upon hearing this, Wu Dade, however, spoke with a worried look,
“How can it be just a million?”
A million low-level Origin Stones would at most secure an entry deposit for the auction.
But the items in this auction are extremely expensive, with starting bids all in the millions of Origin Stones.
When the time comes, they still wouldn’t have enough.
As expected, that Dead Dog’s goods… weren’t worth much.
“Young man, I haven’t finished speaking yet!”
Ai Shi continued:
“The million I mentioned… refers to Superior Ling Stones!”
Superior Ling Stones!
Upon hearing this, Wu Dade and the others felt no reaction, but Xuan Qingyi’s eyes narrowed in shock!
Superior Ling Stones… a million?!
One must know, one Superior Ling Stone is equivalent to a hundred Middle-Grade Ling Stones.
And one Middle-Grade Ling Stone is equivalent to a hundred low-level Spirit Stones!
A million Superior Ling Stones… is the equivalent to a hundred billion low-grade Ling Stones!!
This… what pace is this!
It’s worth noting, even the entire fortune of the Four Realms’ Sect, Xuan Yizong, does not exceed a million low-level Ling Stones!
And now… just by randomly selling some Spiritual Medicine, they could get a hundred billion?!
Unimaginable.
“In truth, such an item… is truly invaluable, beyond imagination, unsatisfactory to you all, and even I cannot truly ascertain its grade,”
“At a conservative estimate, Six-Star Ling Medicine!”
Ai Shi continued to speak.
Xuan Qingyi’s heart shook once more, Seven-Star Ling Medicine?!
This… could be considered a national treasure!
Six-star level Spiritual Medicine is incredibly rare in the world, theoretically able to elevate a Fifth Realm Strongman to the Sixth Realm.
And the Sixth Realm… in the entire Martial Desolate World, is definitely a high-level heavyweight.
Furthermore, this is only a conservative estimate.
She felt a bit stifled, really wanting to advise her master and the others, that by selling it this way… it was too wasteful.
This Spiritual Medicine could completely become the foundation of a superpower, sufficient to uplift an entire sect.
“Then just give us the conservative estimate, hand us the one million!”
Wu Dade was overjoyed.
He didn’t mind; if such “Spiritual Medicine” was valuable, they could just let Big Black Dog come by a few more times in the future!
Hearing this, a hint of sly delight flashed in Ai Shi’s eyes, and he said,
“Are you sure you want to sell?”
Wu Dade waved his hand, saying:
“Of course!”
Ai Shi’s old eyes flashed with wild joy, but he quickly suppressed it and said:
“Good!”
Following that, Ai Shi called Han He over and said, “I must see the Pavilion Master!”
Upon hearing this, Han He couldn’t help but be startled.
This treasure, it could alarm the Pavilion Master?
Impressive, indeed.
“Please!”
Han He immediately responded.
“Young people, please wait for a moment.”
Ai Shi said to Wu Dade and the others, before leaving with Han He.
Soon after, Ai Shi and Han He entered a secret chamber.
Inside the chamber, a dazzling woman, wearing a veil over her face, was looking down at a crystal, reviewing images of various ancient relics.
She was none other than Yu Linglong, the Pavilion Master of the World-Stabilizing Pavilion.
“Pavilion Master, Elder Ai requests an audience with you.”
Han He spoke.
Yu Linglong lifted her eyes, and a glint of amusement shone in her beautiful eyes as she said,
“Elder Ai, did you find some treasure that caught your eye?”
Ai Shi nodded and said,
“Spiritual Medicine, its exact grade is unknown, but conservatively it starts at Seven-Star!”
A slight chill appeared in Yu Linglong’s alluring eyes as she asked,
“Are you sure you saw that correctly?”
Ai Shi nodded and declared,
“I cannot be mistaken, I stake my life on it!”
“That Spiritual Medicine, its medicinal energy soared to the Heavenly Spirit; it directly made me faint from its potency!”
“Nothing less than a Seven-Star or higher Spiritual Medicine could have such an effect!”
Yu Linglong nodded and said,
“If that’s the case, then it must be correct.”
“Who brought it? The medicine, have you secured it?”
Ai Shi replied,
“Some young people and a Big Black Dog. They have an indistinct aura about them that I can’t quite see through… However, they seem to be unaware of its true value.”
“I told them the Spiritual Medicine was conservatively Six-Star, and they believed it, only asking for a hundred billion Low-Level Origin Stones.”
Yu Linglong couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this and said,
“A Seven-Star grade Spiritual Medicine at the very least, and only offered a hundred billion? Our World-Stabilizing Pavilion cannot be so unscrupulous…”
“Give them two hundred billion, then take only half.”
“The other half, help them auction it off for free, right at this auction event.”
Hearing this, Ai Shi was shocked. What did the Pavilion Master mean by this??
To only take half, yet double the price for those people, and even to auction it for free?
This… With this, what would the World-Stabilizing Pavilion earn?
It’s almost like giving to charity!
“Don’t worry about such a small amount of money.”
Yu Linglong said with a smile,
“Would those able to produce such a Spiritual Medicine be people without significant backing?”
“Everyone coming to the Wu Huang Realm now is a big client.”
“This realm… it’s getting livelier, with Ban Explorers, Guardians… and now these people.”
“It seems the news from the True Ancestor World is correct, the Era of the Latter White Mist is about to change, the legacy claiming to be The End of Myriad Paths, this life is concluding…”
“The great upheaval shall begin from the Four Domains Eight Desolations.”
Her eyes, clear as water, seemed lost in thought, and she suddenly said,
“Spending a little money to watch a grand spectacle is well worth it.”
Her smile seemed to hold a hidden meaning.
Ai Shi wanted to say something… but ultimately, he held back.
He knew that once Pavilion Master Linglong made a decision, no one could change it.
“As you command!”
Ai Shi responded.
“By the way, what do you think of the ancient relics that the Ban Explorers have sent?”
Yu Linglong continued.
Ai Shi said,
“Those ancient relics have all been thoroughly ruined, the Divine Grace gone, utterly useless… In my opinion, the key to this auction lies in that scroll of Ancient Law.”
“That scroll of Ancient Law indeed has some connection to the Martial Honor of The Era of the Ancient White Mist.”
“Pavilion Master, do you want to secure it?”
Yu Linglong pondered and then shook her head, saying,
“Do not get casually involved in the affairs of Ban Explorers.”
“This power is too enigmatic; to this day, no one has been able to see through it.”
“You may leave.”
Upon hearing this, Ai Shi respectfully took his leave.
Watching him go, Yu Linglong murmured to herself,
“Why do I feel… that ancient beast hide gives me such an unfathomable feeling?”
A faint purple light flickered in her beautiful eyes!
“Elder Ai, what shall we do now?”
Han He approached.
“Prepare two hundred billion Middle-Grade Spirit Stones! We need them now!”
Ai Shi stated flatly.
Han He, in response, was utterly shocked.
Two hundred billion??
Was he about to empty the entire World-Stabilizing Pavilion?!
