CHAPTER 308: AUCTION 4

The ninth unknown auction item was a box of old seeds.

As usual, Shen Xu bought this box and sent it to the space for planting.

’I hope at least one of the seeds will grow into a treasure tree.’ He thought and shifted his attention to the next lot.

After the box of seeds, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan didn’t buy other things.

That said, they didn’t leave immediately after the auction ended.

Instead, they waited in their box for the exchange meeting to start.

After the low-realm cultivators left, the manager in charge removed the chairs in the hall and replaced them with small rectangular tables.

On each table was a placard with a number written on it.

"It’s finally beginning." Shen Xu muttered as he and the others walked to one of the tables.

"We will take the next table." Dongfang Jing said, pointing to table twenty.

"Okay." Shen Xu nodded.

After that, Zhen Yuan, Shen Xu, Yang Shi, Feng Xue, and Li Wenqiang began taking out their treasures and placing them on table nineteen.

One hundred drops of soul nourishing dew, one bottle of spiritual water, nine cloud seeking fruits, two marrow cleansing peaches, three level six blue crystal fish, twenty thousand years old six-pattern pearl grass, twenty thousand years old enlightenment grass, ...

"I don’t know if we can exchange for some good things." Shen Xu wondered, looking around the hall.

"Ayuan..." He started, but suddenly stopped.

A moment later, an old man stopped at their booth.

The man wore a yellow robe, had a long-white beard and kind eyes.

"Fellow Taoist, can I check the soul nourishing dew?" He asked.

"Please go ahead." Shen Xu said, pushing the bottle of soul-nourishing dew towards the man.

After receiving the bottle, the old man opened it and began sniffing the contents.

Three breaths later, he hastily corked the bottle and looked at the group with an excited expression.

"Senior, fellow daoists, what do you want for the soul-nourishing dew?" He asked.

"Treasures of equal value. Element doesn’t matter." Shen Xu said.

Hearing this, the man excitedly nodded and removed a box from his storage ring.

"See if this is enough." He said, pushing the box to Shen Xu.

At a glance, the box looked ordinary.

However, Shen Xu couldn’t sense what was inside, indicating that the box was more than met the eye.

Soon after, he took the box and opened it, revealing a purple stone.

"Lightning marrow stone." He exclaimed, and the old man nodded.

"I accidentally got this stone, but I am not a lightning spiritual root cultivator." The man sighed, and Shen Xu nodded in understanding.

The lightning marrow stone was only fist-sized.

However, Shen Xu knew the stone contained an incredible amount of condensed lightning.

Thinking of this, the double couldn’t help but be excited.

After all, Xiaolei had long been ready to advance to level eight, but couldn’t due to a lack of suitable treasures.

’Xiaolei can use this lightning marrow stone to advance to level eight.’ He thought, but soon frowned.

’I need to contract Xiaolei before he advances to level eight. Otherwise, my body won’t be able to handle it.’ He decided.

"Is it not enough?" The old man asked after noticing Shen Xu’s frown.

Hearing this, Shen Xu shook his head.

"It’s enough." He said and happily completed the exchange.

After the first, more cultivators came to table nineteen.

Some looked but were not interested or could not afford the treasures on the table, while others traded what they needed.

In no time, one litre of spiritual water was traded for one kilogram of morning mist tea leaves, the six pattern-pearl grass was traded for a level six fire monster corpse, and six cloud seeking fruits were traded for a blood ginseng fruit.

Blood ginseng was a rare natural treasure, and its fruit was even more precious.

After refining a blood ginseng fruit, a fusion realm cultivator could directly advance one small realm.

Ordinarily, cultivators wouldn’t trade such a rare treasure.

However, a cultivator could only refine one blood ginseng fruit in their lifetime.

Since the exchange partner was a fusion realm cultivator and could use the blood ginseng fruit, Shen Xu assumed they had another or had already consumed one.

Time passed, and the treasures on the table dwindled.

In fact, some of the things had already been sold out,t but Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan secretly replaced them in hopes of getting more good things.

Their efforts were not in vain.

In a matter of hours, they had collected enough treasures for everyone, including Xiaomu, to advance to the fusion realm.

After achieving his goal, Shen Xu sighed in relief and looked at table twenty.

Dongfang Jing and Chen Yi didn’t have as many treasures as Zhen Yuan’s group.

However, they had also accumulated some good things over the years.

After trading what they didn’t need, Dongfang Jing had already acquired enough treasures to advance to the late stage of the void refining realm.

Unfortunately, Chen Yi had yet to find a good treasure to push him to the fusion realm.

Seeing this, Shen Xu sighed and turned to Zhen Yuan.

[Ayuan, should we give him the gold element crystal?] He asked, and Zhen Yuan smiled while rubbing his lover’s hair.

[You can do whatever you want.]

[We kept the gold element crystal in anticipation of Yang Shi’s gold head and my future gold element fire. However, we don’t know when we will encounter these things. We may not even need the gold element crystal by the time Yang Shi grows the gold head, or I get the gold element fire. I think we should give the crystal to Chen Yi; it will buy us some goodwill.]

[I will listen to you.] Zhen Yuan nodded.

After deciding, the two didn’t approach Chen Yi right away.

Instead, they looked around while waiting for the exchange meeting to end.

However, just when they were considering going to other tables, a group of female cultivators arrived at their booth.

These females included the Mahayana realm cultivator and Lin Xiang.

’What bad luck.’ Shen Xu thought and lowered his head to hide the disgust in his eyes.
