236: Chapter 225 – Crystal Heart!_1 236: Chapter 225 – Crystal Heart!_1 Although very unwilling, Huangpu Yingyue and even the Huang Family dared not openly offend Lv Zhong to the death.
After all, the Eastern World Family serves as a lesson.
Moreover, the strength of the Huang family’s high-level practitioners is too weak.
Those Fengshui geomancers can only quietly scheme against the Lv Family in the dark.
If they are to openly engage in combat with Lv Zhong, they truly do not have the courage.
Li Yunqi, Liao Ping, Huangpu Yingyue had all backed out; even the previously dignified elderly man did not make an offer.
As such, the antique bronze mirror was ultimately won by Lv Zhong.
Since it’s a small object, the staff at Sanxiang Club quickly delivered the item to Lv Zhong.
As for payment, the Sanxiang staff didn’t even bring it up.
For Sanxiang Club, they are not really afraid of people defaulting on payments.
Of course, the most important thing is, this time, Demon Night Sister had instructed the staff in advance.
Nevertheless, Lv Zhong is not a man who doesn’t keep his word.
He told the staff members that he plans to collaborate with this mysterious Demon Night Sister after the auction ends.
Afterward, Sanxiang auctioned off several more treasures, only these treasures were either paintings or porcelain antiques.
Lv Zhong didn’t sense anything useful for himself from these items, so naturally, he did not bid again.
At this time, most of his Spiritual Sense has been immersed in the antique bronze mirror in his hand.
The four corners of this mirror each had figures that resembled dragon, phoenix, tortoise, tiger.
They were the Four Symbols from legends: Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise.
These four symbolic beasts of the East each occupy a corner of the mirror, with countless symbols carved around the edges of the mirror, emitting a mysterious and ancient aura, quite restrained.
Through his powerful Spiritual Sense, Lv Zhong found that the mirror is not actually made of bronze.
Instead, it was crafted from heavenly treasures such as Tianxin Bronze, Shou Shan Copper, and Purple Blue Sky Crystal.
This mirror holds an extremely powerful seal, suggesting that its greatest power has been sealed.
From Lv Zhong’s perspective, this top-tier Spiritual Weapon, ordinary Cultivators without a Nascent Soul Stage cultivation level can’t hope to refine it.
Even with Lv Zhong gaining the inheritance of Wen God and having a keen mastery of Immortal Artifact Refinement, he himself must at least reach the Golden Core Realm to unseal and refine this antique bronze mirror.
“I really want to see the power of this top-tier Spiritual Weapon after the seal has been completely lifted!” Lv Zhong murmured to himself, casually placing the antique bronze mirror inside the internal space of the Plague God Pearl.
His gaze, once again, fell to the auction stand.
Now, there were already seventeen treasures auctioned off.
Only the last three treasures were left for today.
“Next up, is today’s eighteenth treasure.
These are a pair of glass-type emerald jadeite bracelets.
Although unrelated to Fengshui, they are also a pair of Cultivation Techniques, exceptionally fine jade bracelets blessed by a high monk.
The starting price is 50 million…”Yao Ye exclaimed excitedly.
Glass-type emerald jadeite bracelets?
The eyes of the people in the auction hall once again gathered on the auction stand, and naturally, Lv Zhong was no exception.
To be honest, Lv Zhong is ignorant about the value of jewels and ornaments in the mundane world.
He didn’t even understand the value of this pair of glass-type emerald jadeite bracelets.
However, as Lv Zhong possesses Spiritual Sense, he can easily discern the quality of the jade.
The quality of this pair of glass-type emerald jadeite bracelets was indeed very good.
However, the bracelets’ shape had been fixed, and they had been crudely refined by someone to have an incomplete Gathering Spirit Formation upon them.
Therefore, these bracelets can barely be considered as Spiritual Artifacts but of the lowest quality.
As Lv Zhong is currently at the Foundation Establishment stage and cannot condense True Essence into True Fire, he cannot use these pre-fixed jade products for refining or inscribing symbols.
Besides, these jade bracelets have already been refined by someone else!
Also, considering that Lv Zhong has already drawn enough attention after winning the antique bronze mirror, he didn’t bid this time and just watched.
Resultantly, this pair of glass-type emerald bracelets was eventually won by Huangpu Yingyue for a terrifyingly high price of 1.4 billion.
With this, Huangpu Yingyue was simultaneously excited and surprised.
She was excited that the pair of Spiritual Artifact bracelets finally fell into her hands; this was truly a valuable treasure for the Fengshui noble family like Huang Family.
Meanwhile, she was surprised as she failed to understand why Lv Zhong didn’t compete with her for the pair of Spiritual Artifact bracelets this time.
The nineteenth treasure was a tiger talisman from the ancient Qin Dynasty, which was owned by the famous general Wang Jian of Qin Dynasty.
For the world of collectors, this treasure is absolutely priceless.
In the end, the talisman was auctioned by the dignified mysterious old man for 180 million.
As for the last treasure displayed, Lv Zhong’s heart started pounding fiercely.
It was an item the size of a matchbox.
At first glance, it looked like a piece of jade, but it was transparent like glass.
Above it, it was surging with a sea-blue glow.
This is a water-element spirit crystal!
And it’s a real Crystal Heart too.
It’s a surge crystal extracted from the top-grade water-element spirit crystal ore!
Excitement lit up Lv Zhong’s face.
Although such a Crystal Heart was not considered a treasure in ancient times, it was absolutely a rare treasure in the Cultivation World.
Because only one Crystal Heart can be produced from each crystal vein.
And this Crystal Heart is even more valuable than the top-grade spirit crystals.
The Crystal Heart has extremely pure energy that, once absorbed into the body, doesn’t require too much time to refine or purify.
It immensely elevates a cultivator’s strength.
However, these Crystal Hearts are typically hidden in the center of the crystal vein and not something that people in the mortal world can excavate.
Moreover, this is a water-elemental Crystal Heart, which undoubtedly comes from the vast ocean.
Therefore, the probability of getting such a thing is quite low.
Regardless, Lv Zhong doesn’t care about its origins.
His heart is already bubbling with uncontrollable excitement, “I must have it.
A tender smile appeared on Demon Night Sister’s face upon the auction stage.
She tapped lightly on the stage with the small hammer in her hand.
After everyone quieted down, she said fluttering a charming smile, “Ladies and gentlemen, this is the final item.
Though presumably it’s a piece of jade, its origin and purpose are unknown.
However, the density of this gem is incredibly high, even higher than all known metals.
Moreover, its hardness surpasses that of diamonds and drill bits.
Therefore, this item is absolutely a treasure and could be a new type of substance.
If you are interested, please join the auction.
The starting bid is one billion.
Don’t find it expensive because just its scientific research value would be worth more than one billion…”
“150 million!” Liao Ping was moved and thus bidded.
He wanted to obtain this item for research.
“200 million!” Despite having spent over two billion at this auction, Huangpu Yingyue still made another bid, showing a real lavish spirit.
Huangpu Yingyue had extensive knowledge of Fengshui theory despite not having talent for ancient martial art abilities.
She didn’t know what this thing was but she felt instinctively that it was a real treasure.
“300 million!” Lv Zhong frowned slightly and spoke calmly, “I don’t have that much money.
But to comfort Sister Night Demon, let me first present thirty sets of Age-Locking Pills and Rejuvenation Pills.” He then pulled out two porcelain bottles from his pocket, handing them to Cheng Feng, indicating for him to present them to Demon Night Sister.
Cheng Feng eyed Lv Zhong suspiciously, appearing a bit surprised by the porcelain bottles in Lv Zhong’s pocket.
Yet, this wasn’t the moment to ask.
He took the porcelain bottles from Lv Zhong’s hand and busily sent the two bottles of pills to Demon Night Sister who was on the stage.
As Demon Night Sister accepted the pills from Cheng Feng, she shifted her gaze to Lv Zhong and chuckled, “Hehe, Little Brother Lv Zhong, your pills have recently caused a sensation in Star City.
Hehe, I’ve been wanting to get a set of those pills for a while now.
However, nailing down your pills is utmost difficulty.
I’d like to offer an unsecured charge credit of ten billion at the San Xiang Club, in return for my fondness for the pills…”
Given the large influence of the San Xiang Club, Demon Night Sister had already discovered Lv Zhong’s background, and therefore, could confidently say his name all at once.
However, it was shocking to everyone that Demon Night Sister had authorized a line of 10 billion unsecured charge for Lv Zhong at the San Xiang Club.
At this moment, everyone was shocked both by Demon Night Sister’s authority within the San Xiang Club and the terrifying potency of the pills in Lv Zhong’s possession.
“Thank you so much,” Lv Zhong said, extending a hand towards the enchanting woman on the stage.
Because of Lv Zhong’s conversation with Demon Night Sister, other competitors furrowed their brows and the auction of the final item was vastly affected.
Lv Zhong can withdraw an unsecured credit of 10 billion upfront at the San Xiang Club, so who can compete with him?
A glint appeared in Liao Ping’s eyes as he carefully observed Lv Zhong, deciding to give Lv Zhong face by withdrawing his bid.
He wanted to obtain Age-Locking Pills and Rejuvenation Pills from Lv Zhong.
After a moment’s thought, Li Yunqi, seated in the wheelchair, decisively abandoned the bid.
His family didn’t have a lot of disposable funds.
More importantly, he didn’t want to offend a rising capitalist giant over an item of unknown use.
Li Yunqi understood that as long as Lv Zhong could maintain the control of Age-Locking Pills and Rejuvenation Pills in his hands, he would undoubtedly become an important figure sought after by many super-rich people.
Such a person cannot be an enemy even if he cannot be a friend, which led him to withdraw as well.
Another distinguished-looking mysterious old man also cast a deep glance at Lv Zhong before refraining from bidding any further.
“350 million!” Huangpu Yingyue bit her silver teeth and reluctantly made another bid.
“400 million!” Lv Zhong’s gaze fell on Huangpu Yingyue as he lightly stated his bid.
Seeing Lv Zhong’s bid rise to 400 million, Huangpu Yingyue’s face fell and she fell silent again.
“Any more bids?” Demon Night Sister on the stage called out in a sweet voice.
“400 million for the first time!
400 million for the second time!
400 million for the third time!
Though this crystal only sold for 400 million, Demon Night Sister was quite satisfied.
This time, not only was the San Xiang Club’s temporary auction successfully held, they also established a connection with the owner of Age-Locking Pills and Rejuvenation Pills.
This was an unexpected joy for Demon Night Sister and the higher-ups of the San Xiang Club.
