In a palace somewhere above the clouds, a beautiful female cultivator with extraordinary temperament slowly opened her eyes and came out of her doze.

She tapped her finger forward, and a cloud of mist immediately turned into a mirror of mysterious light. The image inside gradually became clearer, and the scene of the Wanyang Tower auction venue emerged.

"Cloud Guard."

The woman called out lazily, and a cloud of mist immediately gathered and dispersed in front of her.

There, two monks in white appeared out of nowhere. The two cloud guards knelt on one knee in front of the woman without saying a word.

"Check the monks in No. 73, the second-class VIP box at the Wanyang Tower auction house."

"yes!"

Afterwards, they turned into clouds and mist and disappeared again, as if they had never appeared here before.

Auction houses should have an obligation to protect the privacy and security of their customers, but in the face of pressure from certain powerful forces, even if it is a matter of principle, it may not be so absolute.

The woman's eyes passed through the Xuan Guang mirror and glanced at a foundation-building cultivator in the picture. Then she waved her hand to let the Xuan Guang dissipate, and held her cheek with her slender palm, falling into a comfortable doze again.

"Blessed by virtue, he is surrounded by the essence of Taoism, which is condensed and never dispersed. He is really an interesting person."

. . . . .

"Dear guests, what are your seat numbers?"

Jiang Li and others followed the path surrounded by misty clouds and walked into the auction venue. Then a beautiful maid in the Qi Refining Stage walked over quickly and asked in a sweet and businesslike voice.

Jiang Li did not answer, but directly handed over the exquisite cloud-patterned VIP card.

When the maid saw the color of the card, her attitude became more respectful. She bent slightly and spoke softly.

"You gentlemen are second-class guests. Please follow me."

After saying that, she hurriedly led the way, while Jiang Li and others followed behind.

It is indeed quite hard for this maid in the Qi Refining Stage to work in a place like this.

The reason is that the venue is too huge, and monks with insufficient level will have to spend a lot of time just walking.

After walking through the passage that was emitting a faint fragrance for nearly half a quarter of an hour, they stopped near the auction platform.

Second class VIP room, No. 73.

Walking into the spacious VIP room, the soles of his Luyun boots stepped on the exquisite plush carpet. The soft touch made him feel relaxed both physically and mentally.

That’s what expensive feels like.

In front of the VIP room is a large floor-to-ceiling one-way transparent crystal.

Through this crystal floor-to-ceiling window, the monks inside can see the auction table three hundred steps away from a good angle.

At this distance, a senior monk can clearly see the flapping wings of a mosquito without causing much hindrance.

If this crystal floor-to-ceiling window is activated by spiritual power, it can also zoom in and out on distant images.

Looking down again at the chairs of the third-class VIPs and ordinary contestants, he sighed again. This is the gap.

Fortunately, he had chosen to join the Sutra Valley and follow the path of becoming a core disciple of a large sect with a good family background.

If he chose to become a casual cultivator, or join some small sects, he might become very strong, but at this time he should be sitting in the chair below.

"Gentlemen, please take a rest here. If you need anything, please let the service staff know. We will do our best to meet your needs."

As soon as the female cultivator finished speaking, the door of another private room next to theirs was pushed open from inside.

Two maids with messy hair and untidy clothes escaped from inside and trotted away with a staggering step.

The maid's face flushed suddenly, and it was obvious that the need she mentioned also included this.

"Please find us an appraiser to do a price assessment. We have something to be consigned to auction."

Jiang Li did not make things difficult for her, but waved his hand and asked her to leave.

"Okay... okay sir, please wait a moment."

Wanyanglou Auction House can temporarily add items to the auction as long as the goods offered meet the standards.

However, compared with the items given out in advance, such temporary auctions have certain disadvantages.

Because the items given in advance will be attached to the list in the invitation letter and can be seen by others in advance.

The monks who need it will come specially and prepare in advance, so they can naturally get a higher price.

However, before Jiang Li learned about this, the list of auction items had already been sorted out, so he had no choice but to do so.

The maid left with her head down, and not long after, there was a knock on the door of the VIP box.

After opening the door, an appraiser carrying a professional appraisal tool box entered their room.

"Gentlemen, what do you want to auction? I am a senior appraiser of Wanyanglou."

As soon as the senior appraiser entered the room, his sharp eyes quickly swept over Jiang Li, and his eyes only stayed on his shoes and the heavy mountain robe for a moment.

It can be seen that this is indeed an experienced appraiser, and his eyes will involuntarily look at the magic weapons on other people.

But the real good things on Jiang Li will not be easily seen by others.

The old appraiser arranged some instruments for inspecting the auction items on the table, and then waited for Jiang Li to take out the items.

Jiang Li didn't say anything. He raised his hand and a heavy human figure fell on the table.

"A body?"

The old appraiser was slightly stunned when he smelled a faint stench of corpse. It is not uncommon for people to auction corpses these days, but they are definitely not many.

He looked up, but his vision was filled with a bright red, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

He gently brushed the bright red petals with his hand, put them to the tip of his nose and sniffed, then said in surprise.

"This is... Red Spider Lily!?"

The characteristics of the red spider lily are obvious and its appearance is almost unique, but he still finds it a little hard to believe that there are too many of them.

"Um."

Jiang Li nodded slightly, his voice flat.

"I believe you are familiar with the effects of red spider lily. Please help me estimate the auction reserve price."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, I need to check it again."

The old appraiser has confirmed that this is the red spider lily, but he seems to have made other discoveries.

He carefully separated the dense flowers and examined the corpse below more carefully. "According to the current market price, a fresh red spider lily should cost about three hundred low-grade spirit stones."

"Sir, you have a total of 733 flowers here, and they are of such high quality. The reserve price should be more than 200,000 low-grade spirit stones."

"Since the output of red spider lilies is relatively low recently, if we put them up for auction, if we meet a cultivator who needs them, it won't be difficult to sell them for three or four hundred thousand."

"Huh?"

The old appraiser used a knife to gently cut a hole in the body under the red spider lily bush.

Then, countless white roots on the muscles and bones beneath its skin were exposed to the air.

"Fresh and alive with roots? Did you plant and breed these red spider lilies yourself?!"

Looking at the roots crawling under the skin of the corpse, the old appraiser exclaimed in astonishment.

"Um."

Jiang Li smiled slightly and nodded. The appraiser finally saw the key point.

"This... is such an amazing spiritual plant technique!"

"Sir, you actually mastered the breeding technology of red spider lily!"

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

"Wait a minute, is that possible?!"

The appraiser suddenly thought of something.

If you buy these red spider lilies together with this corpse.

Does this mean that the buyer may be able to study the cultivation method of red spider lilies from this? The old appraiser licked his lips. Even though he was used to seeing treasures, it was difficult for him to accurately judge the value of this bunch of corpse-grown red spider lilies.

He hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"For this corpse, plus the red spider lilies on it, the auction reserve price can probably be set at around 400,000 spirit stones."

"And after the auction, based on my experience, it should be sold for around 600,000."

Jiang Li nodded silently, but couldn't help feeling happy in his heart.

What is a huge profit with an investment? This is a huge profit with an investment.

When Yan Hong purchased the flower of the other shore, he spent 580 low-grade spirit stones, almost double the price to buy the flower of the underworld.

But at this time, Jiang Li could make hundreds or thousands of times the profit by just taking out the tip of the iceberg after breeding!

Of course, this kind of huge profit only applies to Jiang Li. The source of all this is still his never-ending gain state.

Growing red spider lilies in the Yin Burial Coffin also requires the consumption of a large amount of Yin Qi and spiritual energy. But for Jiang Li, those are just free things as they rely on the state of spiritual energy infusing the body.

It's a pity that with his current body, he can't bear the impact of the spiritual energy of the top-grade spiritual stone. Otherwise, Jiang Lizhen can be called a spiritual stone money printing machine.

"Sir, if you are willing to sell the red spider lily breeding technology directly, we at Wanyang Tower are willing to pay a high price."

Wanyanglou is a merchant organization after all, so the so-called high price must first be based on the premise of ensuring sufficient profits for themselves.

No matter how high the price is, it is likely to be less than what the auction proceeds will bring, so Jiang Li would naturally not agree to it.

Moreover, the Yin Burial Coffin and Jiang Li himself are the core technologies, so how could he possibly sell them?

"Okay, 733 red spider lilies, plus a special cadaver culture medium that successfully breeds red spider lilies. The items you bid will be auctioned at a later auction. Thank you for your support of Wanyang Tower."

The old appraiser asked someone to bring a crystal coffin, carefully placed the corpse-cultivated red spider lily in it, and handed a certificate to Jiang Li before leaving the room.

"Alliance Leader Jiang, there is actually this kind of spiritual plant technology! Geniuses really cannot be predicted by common sense."

After the outsiders left, the senior members of Chongshan League in the room all looked at Jiang Li. They didn't expect that Jiang Li could easily take out such a valuable item without relying on his status as the leader of Chongshan League.

Such young people have a bright future.

Now they are still haggling over power within the Chongshan Alliance. In time, Jiang Li might not even look down on this small pond.

"The elders are too kind. My technique is special and I used a few tricks. It's not really a big deal."

After handing over the red spider lily as an auction item to Wanyang Tower.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling crystal window, Jiang Li suddenly raised his head and glanced at the first-class VIP box with a better position above.

I saw that in a VIP room there, the one-way transparent crystal glass had been removed.

Wu Loulan, the third young master of Wantu Sect, who had met at the door before, was looking at the monks below with an aggressive look.

The ordinary monks below all frowned and lowered their heads, not daring to look at them. The Wantu Sect was very powerful, and they were vindictive and bloodthirsty, so no one wanted to mess with them.

Wu Loulan's behavior before the auction was actually a very despicable move. It was clearly a way of using power to pressure others and tell others that if anyone dared to bid against them, they would be showing disrespect to the Wantu Clan.

In this way, they can get their favorite items at the lowest price. This behavior will undoubtedly anger many people, but Wantumen doesn't care.

"Young Master's blood and murderous intent are getting stronger and stronger. At this age, your elder brother is no more than this."

A hunchbacked old man next to him immediately complimented him. Wu Loulan seemed calm on the surface, but there was a hint of pride in his eyes.

After all, they are young people and not shrewd enough.

"Old Ghost, I don't know if the news is true. If it is, I must get it no matter what the cost!"

Wu Loulan also came here with a mission from Wantu Clan. This Wanyang Auction had been planned for a long time, and it brought together rare treasures from all over the world, among which there were even things that Wantu Clan valued.

"Hehe, Master, don't worry. Although the Master has important matters to attend to, he has already instructed this old servant to make preparations in secret."

"Even if that thing falls into the hands of someone else, he will definitely not be able to go a hundred miles away from Fengyang!"

The hunchbacked old man laughed in a sinister voice. They were from the Demon Sect, and there was no way the Demon Sect would talk about morality.

And as long as they are strong enough, the Eastern Region will need their strength, and the Temple of the Gods will turn a blind eye to their actions.

"Okay, well done."

The corners of Wu Loulan's mouth curled up wantonly, and he looked at the monks below who were frightened in silence by his eyes. This feeling made him very happy.

While Wantumen was acting arrogantly, people in the other first-class VIP rooms were secretly communicating something.

It seems that all these powerful forces that were invited here have their eyes on an extraordinary item. Could it be the earth-level magic weapon that will be the finale item?

After waiting quietly for nearly an hour, a melodious bell sound finally rang out in the venue, penetrating the cloud barrier of the buildings, and even the Fengyang City below could hear it clearly.

Countless low-level monks looked at the island in the sky with envy. Unfortunately, they didn't even have the qualifications to go up and take a look.

Hearing the bell, Jiang Li also quit his training. His Five Absolute Dao foundation was extremely solid, and could easily withstand spiritual energy impacts below a certain level, so even in this situation where he might be disturbed, he could practice and end at any time.

If it were someone else, they would have vomited blood at this moment.

Looking at the auction room in the center of the venue, at this moment, a very elegant purple-haired old man was already standing there with a smile on his face. It seemed that he was the auctioneer of this auction.

“It’s finally time to start.”

Looking at the huge venue below that was almost packed to the brim, Jiang Li also had high expectations for the upcoming auction.
