84: The Art of Immortality [Seeing Flowers in the Mist]

As the auctioneer spoke, a chorus of boos immediately erupted from below.

“Tsk, I knew it. If there was really a Cultivation Technique from the Dragon Palace, how could it end up here?”

“Even the red-quality eye entry can’t see what’s written, so how could we possibly see it?”

...The gray entry 'Seeing Flowers in the Mist'... that indeed makes it impossible to see...

The discussions were endless.

The auctioneer tapped his hammer, motioning for everyone to quiet down: “Ahem, everyone, rest assured, this Cultivation Technique is absolutely genuine! It was secretly brought out by a Martial Artist who specifically dived into the Dragon Palace!”

“Next, we will begin the auction for this item, the Cultivation Technique 'Longevity Skill'. The starting bid is two hundred thousand! Bids must increase by no less than five thousand per increment... The auction officially begins!”

As soon as the auctioneer’s words fell, someone immediately couldn't help but complain.

“A Cultivation Technique whose content can’t be seen, yet it’s being auctioned for two hundred thousand? Only a fool would buy this!”

“What are you talking about? Not being able to see the content is your own problem. If your eyesight is good enough, then you would be able to see the specific content through the mist!”

“You... you're the seller, aren’t you? What are you talking about?!”

...

Some people had different opinions,

But no one bid.

The auctioneer kept asking: “...Does anyone need this Advanced Cultivation Technique from the Advanced Secret Realm, the Dragon Palace? 'Longevity Skill', a Cultivation Technique that sounds very powerful just by its name...”

Although he didn't know the content, it didn't stop him from hyping it up.

“I...”

Su Yuan was about to bid when someone got ahead of him.

“Two hundred thousand!”

Su Yuan looked at the bidder; the person was wearing a mask, so their face was unclear, and from the voice, it was a middle-aged man.

“Excellent! This friend has bid two hundred thousand, is there any higher?... Two hundred thousand, going once!”

The auctioneer was delighted and relieved.

Finally, someone was going to buy it; at least it wouldn't go unsold.

“Two hundred and ten thousand!”

Su Yuan raised his paddle.

He was very interested in this Advanced Cultivation Technique from the Dragon Palace.

What he was currently Cultivating was still the common Cultivation Technique, the Nine Shallow One Deep Breathing Technique, which was freely taught by the school.

It had no special characteristics and no advantages.

Its only advantage was that it was balanced and peaceful, suitable for switching to any Cultivation Technique at any time.

This 'Longevity Skill' Cultivation Technique,

Although it came with the gray entry 'Seeing Flowers in the Mist', this was not an issue for Su Yuan.

He could just use 'Taking Advantage of an Opportunity' to take it, and then use 'Charity' to give it away.

Although he didn't know exactly what this Cultivation Technique was like,

He had heard the saying, 'Products from the Dragon Palace are alwaysboutique', otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people going there to fish for treasures.

He believed this was indeed an Advanced Cultivation Technique!

“Excellent, this friend has bid two hundred and ten thousand, is there any higher... Two hundred and twenty thousand! Excellent...”

The auctioneer’s excited voice kept coming.

Even though even a red entry like 'See Through Illusions' couldn't see the content of this 'Longevity Skill' Cultivation Technique,

There were still so many people who wouldn't give up!

Su Yuan didn't think they all had higher-quality eye Divine Abilities; the only explanation was that they all wanted to try their luck.

If they could see it clearly, wouldn't they make a fortune?

Su Yuan was speechless.

Watching the price quickly rise to two hundred and sixty thousand in a short time,

Su Yuan calculated his assets.

His previous money, plus the scholarship he just received, after giving some to his mother and buying many gray entry fragments, he now only had fifty or sixty thousand left.

It mainly depended on the auction price of 'Prolong Life'; otherwise, he really couldn't afford it.

Of course,

His mother definitely still had a lot of money, and he could always ask for it back.

But Su Yuan didn't want to easily use his mother's money; that money was actually a retirement guarantee he had given his parents.

He would not use it easily!

Besides that,

He actually had some supplies in his space, a few weapons he had picked up, such as a 'Powerful' saber, a 'Thunderous Whip Sound' nine-section whip, and a 'Luck Plus One' spear.

However, these were all picked up from dead people, so there was a slight risk involved.

This was also why he hadn't sold them yet.

Additionally,

He also had two entries in stock: the green entry 'Never Return Empty-Handed' and the newly acquired gray entry 'Innate Widow Saint Physique'.

These two entries could sell for sky-high prices, but they definitely couldn't be sold!

Su Yuan's gaze shifted.

“If the money from selling 'Prolong Life' is still not enough, I can only sell a little thousand-year blood ginseng!”

His gaze fell on the freshly processed thousand-year blood ginseng.

The originally fresh thousand-year blood ginseng was now dried and processed.

Su Yuan was about to give it to his Older Sister so she could occasionally slice and eat it.

Processed thousand-year blood ginseng like this, when sliced, would not cause the medicinal properties to leak.

Such an Advanced Spirit Medicine, only a few roots needed to be cut,

Should be enough for the price of 'Longevity Skill'.

Thinking of this,

Su Yuan raised his paddle again: “Three hundred thousand!”

“A friend has bid three hundred thousand, is there any... Three hundred and five thousand!”

After some competition,

The final transaction price of 'Longevity Skill' was set at three hundred and fifty thousand.

Successfully acquired by Su Yuan!

“This price should be about right; no need to use the thousand-year blood ginseng.”

“It’s better not to use it if possible; such an Advanced Spirit Medicine is hard to come by.”

“Next week, I must bring the Treasure-Seeking Rat and go out of the city again to look for other high-level Spirit Medicine.”

Su Yuan thought to himself.

He became somewhat distracted during the subsequent auctions.

However, after bidding on items, payment is usually made all at once at the end.

Not to mention he didn't have any cash in his card right now.

“...The next item for auction, the white entry 'Eight-Pack Abs', can quickly help one develop a good physique with Eight-Pack Abs. Friends who care about their physique, don’t miss out...”

After several auctions, the auctioneer brought out another item.

“Oh,”

Su Yuan's heart stirred; wasn't this his item? He wondered what price it would fetch.

He didn't deliberately act as a shill to drive up the price.

After several rounds of bidding, this entry was finally successfully bid on by a well-figured lady for a price of thirty thousand.

After waiting for a while,

Su Yuan was getting a bit impatient when his 'Prolong Life' finally appeared as the grand finale.

After a week of promotion, many people knew about the existence of this entry.

Many people present today came specifically for 'Prolong Life'.

Although it could only extend life by seven days, for a Martial Artist, having such a glimmer of hope to go all out might open up a whole new world.

“...Starting bid two hundred and sixty thousand, minimum increment of five thousand per bid. The auction officially begins!”

“Two hundred and seventy-five thousand!”

“Three hundred thousand!”

“Three hundred and thirty thousand!”

After many people competed for it, this white entry, which could extend life by seven days,

Successfully sold for a sky-high price of four hundred thousand!

“Phew! Haha!”

Although this price was not as high as the 'Little Brother Enhancement' from before, he was already extremely satisfied.

After all, this entry was not like the former, which everyone needed; it still required the right buyer.

Su Yuan breathed a sigh of relief; he wouldn't have to sell the thousand-year blood ginseng roots after all.

He hurried to the backstage.

Now, 'Longevity Skill' would finally be in his hands, along with the gray entry 'Seeing Flowers in the Mist'.

He really wanted to experience it!
