Emperor Qiankun

Chapter 424 The Yun Family's Purpose: Perilla Spirit Bud

Then, Yunlan continued:

"Second brother, don't worry about it. There's always the thousand-year-old Snow Lotus, a great medicine that takes a thousand years to grow."

"Once we obtain it, it will be enough to significantly improve our cultivation levels..."

Clearly, in her heart, the thousand-year-old Snow Lotus was the real target she coveted; she longed to obtain that thousand-year-old herb!

"Yes, that's right. My Yun family is determined to acquire the Thousand-Year Snow Lotus."

Yun Yi nodded heavily, his eyes flashing with a cold light, like two sharp ice blades.

However, beneath that cold light, there was also a hint of intense heat.

That was an extreme longing for the thousand-year-old Snow Lotus!

......

Seeing his two children like this, the middle-aged man couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

It was precisely because of his exceptionally talented children that his position in the Yun family was so secure.

Only then can they get the lion's share in the distribution of family resources!

This allowed him to break through to the Heavenly Emperor Realm.

He knew his talent was limited, and that breaking through to the Emperor Realm would be the limit of his life.

Therefore, he never hesitated to spend money on nurturing Yunyi and Yunlan, these two exceptional children.

Whatever they want, he will satisfy them without hesitation, as long as it is within his power to provide it.

He was providing them with the best he could afford.

This fostered their usual arrogant and condescending attitude...

But the middle-aged man didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

In his view, this is the spirit that young people should have—they should be so flamboyant and confident.

Therefore, he spoiled his two children even more.

This time, he even brought a large sum of money to the Wanbao Grand Ceremony.

The first is those three most prized treasures;

Secondly, it was for the cultivation of Yunyi and Yunlan!

Thinking this, the middle-aged man's lips unconsciously curled up, revealing a smug smile.

It's as if I can already see those wonderful days to come—

Under his leadership and with the help of his two outstanding children, the family has become increasingly prosperous.

He will also be able to go further on this path of cultivation...

In the field.

The auction proceeded with fervor, as intense as a raging fire.

The popularity has not diminished at all; on the contrary, it has become even more popular over time.

The further the auction progresses, the rarer and more precious the items presented become.

Like dazzling stars in the night sky, each piece exudes an irresistible allure.

Such a rare item naturally commands a sky-high starting price, which is astonishing.

However, what is surprising is...

The atmosphere in the room did not become quiet despite the high prices;

Instead, it burned even hotter, like dry tinder being ignited.

It was as if an invisible force was driving everyone's enthusiasm for bidding.

As one rare and precious item after another appeared on the scene.

In the ordinary VIP section, some monks were gradually running out of money.

As they watched the prices climb, expressions of helplessness and resentment appeared on their faces. In the end, they could only withdraw from the fierce bidding competition in disappointment.

......

Meanwhile, in the VIP seating area on the second floor.

However, more and more cultivators, like sharks smelling blood, eagerly participated in the auction.

Their gazes were firm, their expressions confident, and every time they raised their placards, it was with an unwavering determination to win.

Even the top VIPs in the private rooms on the third floor.

Some people couldn't suppress their desire and joined the fierce bidding war.

Numerous powerful forces and families with a thousand-year-old heritage, like a group of majestic lions, galloped across the auction house with overwhelming force.

Each time they raised the price, their steady and loud voices echoed throughout the venue, never falling below 100,000 high-grade Xuan Crystals.

But these 100,000 high-grade Xuan Crystals were nothing more than a drop in the ocean to them.

Under their fierce competition, prices soared like a runaway horse, skyrocketing into the sky.

This amazed everyone present.

This made the old tortoise in charge of the auction grin from ear to ear.

The wrinkles that were already covering his face seemed to be smoothed out by the overwhelming joy.

He grinned, his eyes narrowed to slits, and his mouth stretched almost to his ears.

He looked exactly like a miser who had found a great treasure.

The auction is not even halfway through yet, but the total amount of Xuanjing (mysterious crystals) from the items sold has already far exceeded the total of any previous auction.

Such a brilliant achievement could not help but make him ecstatic; his heart was sweeter than if he had eaten honey!

......

Second floor, in a single room.

Li Qingyuan eagerly awaited her arrival in the bustling auction hall. Time seemed to stretch out, and every moment of waiting was filled with anticipation and anxiety.

Finally, after a long period of anticipation.

A medicinal herb he had been dreaming of reappeared on the auction stage.

Its name is "Perilla Spirit Bud".

This herb is surrounded by a faint purple halo, like a dreamlike veil, gentle and mysterious.

Under that halo, one could vaguely see its petals, delicate and supple, as if woven by nature with the finest silk threads.

Its rhizome is upright and tough, with fine textures on the surface.

Its effects are extraordinary, making it a holy grail for detoxification.

Whether it is the stubborn, deadly poison that has been lurking in the body for many years, like a maggot clinging to the bone;

Even newly acquired, ferocious poisons cannot hide from this "Perilla Spirit Core".

Its miraculous medicinal power will gradually neutralize and dispel the poison, restoring the poisoned person to a clear and healthy body.

Upon seeing this, Li Qingyuan instantly perked up.

His previously languid body suddenly sat up straight, his gaze fixed intently on the "Perilla Spirit Bud," concentrating fully and not daring to slack off in the slightest.

......

At this moment, a fierce bidding frenzy has already erupted in the venue.

The starting bid was as high as 100,000 high-grade Xuan Crystals, which is enough to show the importance and preciousness of this great medicine.

This medicine is considered a life-saving herb for some elderly people who have been poisoned for a long time, and it has miraculous effects.

It may be able to rejuvenate their bodies, which have been riddled with holes by toxins, and prolong their lives.

Or perhaps it could revitalize their already weakened vitality, restore their former glory, and allow them to regain their former splendor.

However, this "Perilla Spirit" is not equally appealing to everyone; it has a specific target group.

Therefore, when this herb appeared, the cultivators on the first floor seemed to have been doused with cold water, and the number of people bidding instantly decreased by more than half.

Looking at the exorbitant starting price and weighing the amount of Xuanjing in their pockets, they shook their heads helplessly and could only give up.

The cultivators on the second and third floors, however, were like sharks that had smelled blood, instantly boiling over with a roar.

The loud and firm calls of bidders rose and fell in waves.

"I'll offer 150,000 high-grade Xuan Crystals!"

"Two hundred thousand! I'm determined to get this herb!"

"Pah! You think you can get it for 200,000? I'll offer 250,000!"

"..."

Some cultivators shouted at the top of their lungs, their voices so loud that the surrounding air trembled slightly.

Some used snail-shaped communication, with Ao Ni Chang offering prices, which also conveyed their determination to win.

......

Li Qingyuan remained calm and did not rush to make a bid.

He thought to himself, "Good food is worth the wait, and good medicine will always sell."

Since those people are so keen on bidding, let them fight tooth and nail first.

We're rich anyway, what's there to be afraid of!

All you need to do is patiently wait for the perfect moment, and then strike with deadly precision to claim this "Perilla Spirit Core" for yourself.

Prices skyrocketed like a torrential downpour.

It quickly exceeded two million high-grade Xuan Crystals.

And the upward momentum shows no signs of slowing down.

However, Li Qingyuan keenly noticed.

At this stage, only about twenty companies were still bidding.

These bidding forces are mainly concentrated in the top VIP area on the third floor.

They are wealthy and generous, and they spare no expense for this "Perilla Spirit Bud".

There were far fewer people on the second floor, as the advantages and disadvantages were quite obvious.

Apart from those cultivators who were particularly interested in this herb and genuinely needed it, everyone else wisely chose to stop.

They will not get too involved in this fierce competition.
