113: Chapter 113 Conceptual Overwhelming? I Can Still Dominate Auctions Even Without Money!

Wang Teng scrambled out of the courtyard, clutching that withered blade of grass as if it were his own life.

As soon as he emerged, he was completely surrounded by the group of formidable experts sitting cross-legged outside, their auras deep and unfathomable.

Waves of terrifying pressure wove into a net, locking onto him in an instant.

"Young man of the Wang family, you have quite the audacity!"

A Holy Land Master's hair and beard stood on end, his aura surged violently, and his killing intent was chilling.

If not for this being the Senior's place of quiet cultivation, he would have already slapped this ignorant and arrogant young Master into a puddle of blood and mud.

Wang Teng no longer had even a shred of his previous arrogance.

His face was as pale as paper, and he held the withered blade of grass high, his voice trembling violently from extreme fear and excitement.

"Senior... Senior has bestowed upon me a Divine Medicine!"

Divine Medicine?

Everyone's breathing hitched, and their gazes converged simultaneously on his hand.

That thing, no matter how one looked at it, was just an unremarkable, even slightly yellowed, stalk of grass.

"You don't understand!"

Seeing the skeptical looks from the crowd, Wang Teng broke into a cold sweat, almost on the verge of tears.

"This is a supreme divine object! The Dao Rhyme flowing on it is the only one I have ever seen in my life! Senior... Senior actually uses such a divine object to feed his cow!"

Using such a divine object to feed a cow!

This sentence was like a thunderclap from the Nine Heavens, exploding in everyone's hearts!

The entire scene fell into dead silence.

They suddenly thought of the Grand Elder who had previously vomited blood and been scared unconscious.

An image formed in their minds of its own accord:

An Immortal Venerable in white robes walking leisurely through a courtyard shrouded in immortal mist, casually grabbing a handful of Undying Divine Medicine that only existed in legends, and carelessly tossing it into a trough to feed a seemingly ordinary green ox.

What kind of transcendent scene was that?

What kind of... extravagant waste of divine treasures was that!

In an instant, the way everyone looked at that small courtyard completely changed.

It was no longer just awe.

It was a piety bordering on looking up to a god.

As for Wang Teng, he couldn't say another word before being slapped away by the Old Ancestor of the Wang family who had rushed over upon hearing the news, and then was dragged away in despair like a dead dog.

It was foreseeable that the Wang family, having dared to offend such an existence, would face a terrifying reckoning.

...

Inside the courtyard, Su Changge was naturally unaware of the massive waves that had been stirred up outside because of a single stalk of grass.

He was facing an extremely serious problem.

The auction of the Tianji Pavilion was officially starting tomorrow.

The auction catalog that Mo Wentian had sent over was filled with a dazzling array of rare treasures, making Su Changge drool.

Things like "Taiyi Refined Gold", "Void Realm Divine Sand", "Dao Law Fragments"...

Although he didn't know what any of them were for, just hearing the names made them feel incredibly awesome.

But the problem was, he had no money.

The hard currency of the cultivation world was the Spirit Stone.

And he, Su Changge, could search his entire body and couldn't even pull out a single lowest-grade Low-Grade Spirit Stone.

"Sigh, a penny can stump a hero."

Su Changge sat on a stone stool, sighing and lamenting.

He had accumulated quite a lot of emotion points, but this stuff couldn't be spent directly as Spirit Stones.

Just as he was at his wit's end, a golden notification suddenly popped up in his mind from the long-silent System.

【Detected strong demand from the Host, the emotion points mall is temporarily opening a new function.】

【Function Name: Item Concept Modification Right (Temporary)】

【Function Description: The Host can consume a massive amount of emotion points to perform a one-time, temporary modification on a specified ownerless item at the "concept" level.】

【Modification Scope: Can endow an item with a brand new, non-existent "concept". For example: "Absolutely Sharp", "Guaranteed Hit", "All Things Meltable", etc.】

【Duration: After the concept is successfully endowed, it will last for the time it takes to burn an incense stick. When the time ends, the item will return to its original state.】

【Note: This function is only effective on the item itself and cannot directly create energy or matter. Please use with caution, Host.】

Su Changge looked at this long string of instructions and was completely stunned.

Item Concept Modification Right?

What kind of godly thing is this?

It sounds mysterious and profound, but... it still doesn't seem to be able to directly turn into Spirit Stones.

"Absolutely Sharp? If I pick up a random broken stone and change it to Absolutely Sharp, then what? Take it home to chop vegetables?"

Su Changge muttered subconsciously.

But the next second, a thought flashed through his mind like lightning.

Wait.

The auction...

If I take out an item at the auction...

For example, an ordinary stone that can be seen everywhere on the side of the road.

Then, I consume emotion points to endow it with a brand new concept, called — "Contains a complete Great Emperor Law".

Then...

What would this stone become in the eyes of those cultivators?

Su Changge's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

He felt as if he had opened the door to a new world!

Using "concepts" to crush "wealth"!

Isn't it the case that people in this world love to overthink and imagine things?

Then I will give you a stage to imagine to your heart's content!

Just as Su Changge was thrilled by this brilliant idea of his, the courtyard gate was gently knocked.

Mo Wentian's extremely respectful voice sounded from outside.

"Senior, Junior Mo Wentian has come to report the specific flow of tomorrow's auction."

Su Changge instantly composed himself, adjusted his expression, and returned to that calm, Master-like demeanor, his voice transmitting out indifferently: "Come in."

Mo Wentian pushed the door and entered, holding a Jade Slip emitting a faint glow in his hands.

He bowed and, in the most detailed language, explained to Su Changge the seating arrangements for tomorrow's auction, the grand finale treasures, and some distinguished guests who needed attention.

After the report was finished, Mo Wentian hesitated for a moment, then finally gathered his courage and said with utmost sincerity:

"Senior, at tomorrow's auction, if there is any item that catches your eye, please feel free to speak up."

"Regardless of the value, my Tianji Pavilion is willing to bear the cost for you, Senior!"

This was the most significant decision he and the various Elders in the Pavilion had made after careful deliberation.

Being able to forge a good relationship with this unfathomable Senior using mere Spirit Stones was a once-in-ten-thousand-year Opportunity for the Tianji Pavilion!

However, Su Changge just shook his head slightly.

His gaze became incredibly distant, as if piercing through the eaves and seeing through the ages of time, his voice calm yet containing some kind of supreme Law.

"My Opportunity does not touch Karma."

These short eight words, each as heavy as a divine mountain, struck Mo Wentian's Divine Soul until it roared!

His body shook violently, and his gaze towards Su Changge was instantly filled with endless adoration and admiration.

Does not touch Karma!

What a high and distant Realm! What a transcendent Dao Heart!

Senior means that his Opportunity is all determined by Heaven, and he does not want to have too many monetary entanglements with mortal forces like us, so as to avoid disturbing his own Karma line that has long since jumped out of the Three Realms!

A Master! This is truly a Master who looks down upon all living beings!

"It is Junior... it is Junior who is shallow!"

Mo Wentian lowered his head in shame, feeling ashamed for the thought he had just had of using Spirit Stones to "bribe" the Senior.

He became more and more convinced that the Senior's arrival in the Central Region must be for the coming Great Calamity of Heaven and Earth!

"No matter."

Su Changge waved his hand indifferently, while his heart was already blooming with joy.

Beautiful!

It perfectly preserved the Master's dignity and cleverly solved the embarrassment of having no money.

Simply flawless!

After Mo Wentian respectfully withdrew with full awe, Su Changge began to prepare for tomorrow's "big shopping spree".

He was completely unaware that at this moment, in some dark corners of the Holy City, several obscure and cold killing intents had already quietly locked onto this inconspicuous courtyard.

"The foreign aid invited by the Tianji Pavilion this time lives here?"

"That's right, the news is confirmed, it is a mysterious expert from the Eastern Wasteland."

"Heh, Eastern Wasteland? It's just a land of barbarians, what kind of expert could come from there? The Tianji Pavilion is truly at its wit's end."

"Regardless of who he is, since he is a friend of the Tianji Pavilion, he is our enemy. Tomorrow at the auction, find an Opportunity to test his true strength. If he is just a silver-like pewter spear head, then just slaughter him!"

"With my Myriad Phenomena Holy Land and the Netherworld Hall joining forces, their Tianji Pavilion will have to think twice!"

The owners of these killing intents were the several major hostile forces in the Central Region that had long-standing grudges with the Tianji Pavilion.

Naturally, they dared not attack the Tianji Pavilion's distinguished guest openly, but the deadly killing intent in the shadows had already begun to brew.

Su Changge knew nothing about this.

But on his System panel, the red name tags representing malice were silently marking out several flickering dangerous light spots on his Divine Sense map.

The next day, early morning.

Su Changge put on a moon-white robe carefully prepared by Mo Wentian, his long black hair casually tied behind his head with an ordinary wooden hairpin.

Even though he was still at the Qi Refining First Layer, when paired with that handsome, peerless face and transcendent temperament, just standing there casually, he possessed the demeanor of an exiled immortal descending to the mortal world.

"Let's go."

Su Changge said indifferently to Mo Wentian, who had been waiting outside the courtyard gate for a long time.

"It's time to go 'restock'."

Mo Wentian's heart jolted.

Restock?

What does Senior mean by this? Could it be... that there are some extraordinary "goods" at this auction that require the Senior to personally go and "collect"?

He dared not ask more, and quickly bowed to lead the way, his posture becoming even more humble.

"Senior, please."

A top-tier auction that was about to shake the entire Central Region, and a fake Senior who was preparing to go "zero-dollar shopping", were slowly walking towards the same destination.
