Chapter 653 Hunyuan Flower

Amaterasu Market.

At first, only some spiritual weapons were auctioned, but until halfway through the auction, magical weapons finally appeared on the auction table.

Ning Daoran held the jade talisman in his hand and sat silently. What he was waiting for was only the elixir of life, and other things would hardly arouse his interest.

However, as the largest market in Amaterasu City, would there be any spiritual treasures in this extremely large auction? In the end, Ning Daoran was quite disappointed.

After the auction of dozens of Falling Dust Pills was completed, the market took out a third-grade top-grade ancient treasure as the "quasi-finale" for auction. The ancient treasure was a brocade handkerchief that looked at least thousands of years old. Although the treasure was rich in essence, Ning Daoran could not muster any interest in it.

After a struggle, the handkerchief was bought away by a woman hiding in a private room.

"My fellow Taoists."

On the auction stage, a female cultivator in the late Jindan stage, wearing a flowing cloud fairy skirt, walked slowly and said with a smile: "The next item is the finale of this auction of our Amaterasu Market!"

A maid came up on stage holding a tray. Inside the tray was something covered in silk. Although it could not be seen, a strange medicinal fragrance quickly spread throughout the market! "It really is the Hunyuan Flower..."

In the auction hall, a bald Jindan-stage cultivator suddenly stood up and said excitedly, "The Amaterasu Market is indeed very profound. It can even get such a holy medicine..."

"I'm talking about Zhang Laosan."

One cultivator joked, "You are only in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm. What does this divine medicine, the Hunyuan Flower, have to do with you? Why are you so excited?"

"Can't I help those Yuanying-stage seniors to be happy?"

The bald monk rolled his eyes and sat down angrily.

Someone else said, "There will definitely be a bloody fight for spiritual stones next... Spiritual medicines like Hunyuan Flower have always been in short supply, and there are many people in Amaterasu City who need this spiritual medicine. The six true disciples of the Divine Fire Sect all need this medicine, and those Yuanying stage elders, even the Divine Fire Sect's leader Long Xian'er and her husband Zhang Qinghe, may not be ready for the Divine Transformation Spiritual Medicine yet."

"nonsense!"

Someone refuted, "The Divine Fire Sect has such a profound foundation. How could Long Xian'er, as the granddaughter of the previous old sect master, not even have a spirit medicine for transformation? I heard that the old sect master himself was a spirit, so a pill of Mingxing Xianhun Pill should not be a difficult task for him."

“Fellow Daoist, you are taking it for granted. The Mingxing Xianhun Pill is the greatest treasure in the world. Do you think it is the same as the Ningying Pill and Luochen Pill? Not to mention Long Xian’er, it is said that the previous old sect master did not take the Mingxing Xianhun Pill when he was trying to achieve the spirit transformation. He relied on his breath and almost died at that time.”

"If that's the case... the final transaction price of this Hunyuan Flower will probably be sky-high."

Everyone gasped and their faces changed slightly.

Ning Daoran in the box frowned and glanced around the other boxes. The aura of Nascent Soul came from many of the boxes. It seemed that there were indeed many competitors for this Hunyuan Flower.

But in terms of financial resources...

Ning Daoran is not inferior to others at all. With the accumulation of various years, plus the gift from Ning Tianyi in Guixu City, his inventory of spirit stones has reached nearly 30 million. It is no exaggeration to say that he is as rich as a country!

"My fellow Taoists."

On the auction stage, the graceful female Jindan cultivator smiled sweetly, holding the Hunyuan Flower in her hands, and said, "This is a Hunyuan Flower, one of the four main ingredients of the Divine Medicine Mingxing Xianhun Pill. This medicine is the highlight of this auction and is the dream of all Yuanying stage cultivators. The starting price is two million spirit stones. If you are interested, you can bid!"

"Two and a half million!"

Immediately, a rather plump female cultivator raised her hand and bid.

She was only at the initial stage of the Golden Core Realm, and had no need for the Hunyuan Flower. She also didn't look like she could come up with more than two million spirit stones. It was obvious that there was someone behind her.

"My fellow Taoist, the offer is 2.5 million. Is there anyone who can offer a higher price?"

The auctioneer was smiling.

She glanced at the jade talisman in her hand, and suddenly a flash of light flashed through her mind. She smiled and said, "A fellow Taoist in the box has offered a price of three million. Is there anyone who can offer a higher price?"

The next second, a stream of light flashed through the jade talisman again, and the bidding price reached 3.3 million spirit stones.

Ning Daoran frowned. Sure enough, this is how it started.

The monks sitting in the lobby were not actually competitors for the Hunyuan Flower. If they really had the financial resources and strength, they would not have crowded into the lobby with others. The one who could really get the Hunyuan Flower must have secretly bought this rare elixir in the box with a jade talisman! He calmly input a stream of magic power into his jade talisman.

Suddenly, the auctioneer below smiled and said, "A fellow Taoist has already bid up to four million spirit stones. Is there anyone who can bid higher?"

"Four million?"

A fat Taoist in the audience shook his head and said, "It's too high, too high... The competition among these Nascent Soul cultivators is so fierce, this kind of auction is really not something a cultivator like me can participate in."

"Alas, four million spirit stones!"

Someone sighed, "Who is so generous? This is just one of the main ingredients of the Shenhua Pill, but it's not the Shenhua Pill. It's actually sold for four million. It's really crazy!"

"Could it be Sect Master Long Xian'er who did this?"

"It's definitely not her. When I left the sect, the sect master was still in seclusion."

"Then... they must be some inner sect elders, or true disciples..."

"Could it be the guest elder Zhang Qinghe?"

"yes……"

Someone exclaimed, "Daoyou is right. Zhang Qinghe is not only the Taoist partner of Sect Master Long, but also a guest elder of the Divine Fire Sect. The Zhang family behind him is wealthy and has produced many outstanding people. He is indeed capable of paying four million spirit stones."

As everyone was sighing, a stream of light flashed across the jade talisman in the auctioneer's hand again.

"A fellow Taoist has offered a price of five million!" she said with a dimpled smile.

“…”

Ning Daoran frowned.

In the next box, a woman's helpless sigh was heard.

It seemed that the five million spirit stones offered by the mysterious auctioneer were beyond the woman's ability to bear.

Yes, it is indeed too crazy to sell it at such a high price for just the main ingredient of Mingxing Xianhun Pill.

Ning Daoran didn't care. Spirit stones were just numbers to him.

So, he injected a stream of magic power into the jade talisman and called out a price of six million! When the price of six million echoed in the auction hall, most of the cultivators were stunned and speechless. This auction was unique and the price had exceeded many people's cognition.

"Seven million!"

The auctioneer's pretty face was filled with smiles: "The previous fellow Taoist has already offered seven million, is there anyone who can offer a higher price?"

Ning Daoran frowned, and without hesitation injected a magical power, raising the price to eight million!

The millions upon millions of spiritual stones added up like this had already made many cultivators at the scene dizzy. After all, what was the significance of each million spiritual stones added? That was two hundred genuine foundation-building pills! For a sect, if there were two hundred genuine foundation-building pills, it would probably be enough to make the sect rise! This time, after a long time, there was finally a stream of light flowing and lingering on the jade talisman again.

Obviously, the other party's financial resources are already tight and they can't afford this Hunyuan Flower.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Nine million!"

The auctioneer looked excited: "This fellow Taoist has already offered nine million, is there anyone who can offer a higher price?"

Ning Daoran did not hesitate and input a magical power into the jade talisman.

"Ten million!"

The auctioneer was ecstatic: "That mysterious fellow has already raised the price to 10 million, is there a higher price?"

"Damn, lunatic!"

In the distance, a low curse was heard from a box.

"snort……"

Ning Daoran folded his arms, knowing that he had won.

“Dongdong~~”

Not long after, the shop owner Lu Qinglong appeared in Ning Daoran's box with the auctioneer through the secret passage and said with a smile, "Congratulations to the senior for successfully bidding for the Hunyuan Flower!"

As he spoke, he presented the Hunyuan Flower.

Ning Daoran immediately used a wisp of magic power to wrap the Hunyuan Flower and sent it into the storage ring. He then took out ten brand new storage bags and said, "Each storage bag contains one million spirit stones. Please count carefully."

"Yes, please wait a moment, senior!"

Lu Qinglong quickly counted the spirit stones. His professional skills were extremely high. He finished the counting in a moment, then clasped his fists and said, "The money and goods are settled. Thank you for supporting our Amaterasu Market."

“As it should be.”

Ning Daoran smiled and nodded: "In that case... Ning can leave now?"

"Exactly."

Lu Qinglong said: "Senior Ning just took a picture of the Hunyuan Flower, how about... leaving through the secret passage?"

"No need. We are in the city here. Master Lu, please don't follow me. I will naturally not attract anyone's attention."

"Okay!"

So Ning Daoran went out.

He was not in a hurry to leave, as the people who were in a hurry to leave at this time were most likely those who had won the treasure, so he called a beautiful lady governor and asked him to walk around the market again to see if there was any treasure he needed.

…

At this time, the auction had just ended and a large number of monks appeared in the market.

"Hey, are you a guest official of the Divine Fire Sect?"

Suddenly, a voice came from the corner.

Ning Daoran turned around and saw a young cultivator wearing the clothes of a true disciple of the Divine Fire Sect. Although he was young, he exuded the aura of a middle-stage Nascent Soul.

Moreover, this person is a peerless genius with a first-grade fire spirit root, with a domineering look on his face! This person must be ranked above Long Jiuyu.

"Exactly."

Ning Daoran turned around and smiled calmly: "I am Ning Daoran, the guest invited by Sect Master Long two years ago."

"oh?"

The other party frowned and said to himself without any scruples: "What's wrong with our Divine Fire Sect? Why are we spending so many spirit stones to support such a waste?"

At the side, the other two disciples of the Divine Fire Sect coughed, looking quite embarrassed. They both seemed to be in awe of this true disciple. One of them said, “Senior Brother Zhang, this person is the Ning Keqing who ranks higher than Long Jiuyu in the Divine Fire Tower!”

"oh?"

He looked over again and shook his head gently, "It doesn't look that good..."
