Soon, Gao Yan acquired the third, fourth, and fifth spirit stones for 134 million.
This made the old feng shui master's face turn frighteningly dark.
"Grandpa, are you alright?"
Zhuge Qianqian asked with concern.
"I'm fine!"
Zhuge Yong waved his hand, trying his best to calm his emotions.
On the other side.
Inside Rong Kun's private room.
"Young Master Gao, you seem to recognize these crystals?" Rong Kun asked tentatively.
"I do know him!"
Gao Yan nodded.
"Is it convenient for you to tell me?" Rong Kun asked cautiously.
"There's nothing inconvenient about it; they're spirit stones," Gao said.
"Spirit stones?"
Rong Kun frowned: "Young Master Gao, could you please give me a detailed explanation?"
Gao Yan explained, "Simply put, this spirit stone contains a peculiar energy, which I call spiritual energy. If you have a Qi cultivation technique, you can absorb the spiritual energy inside to cultivate!"
"The Qi cultivation technique you're talking about isn't the one recorded on the animal skin scroll that was just auctioned off, is it?"
Rong Kun asked thoughtfully, his reaction speed was still very fast.
“One of the animal skin scrolls does indeed contain a Qi Refining Technique!” Gao Yan said with certainty.
"Does that mean that mastering that technique will grant immortality and eternal youth?" Rong Kun exclaimed excitedly.
"You believe the auction house's exaggerated claims?"
Gao Yan joked.
Hearing Gao Yan say that, Rong Kun also laughed.
Gao Yan continued, "Given your family background, you should know about the current martial arts system. In my opinion, martial artists today all follow the path of body cultivation. I suspect that in ancient times, it was mainly about qi cultivation!"
"Then why is it that everyone is focusing on body cultivation now?"
Rong Kun's curiosity was piqued.
"Simply put, this place is no longer suitable for Qi cultivation because the spiritual energy in the world has disappeared!" Gao Yan said.
Why did it disappear?
"How should I know!"
Gao Yan said speechlessly, "Take those five spirit stones for example. A lot of the spiritual energy inside has dissipated. Even if you absorb all the spiritual energy inside and cultivate internal energy, I estimate that you will only be equivalent to a Ming Jin martial artist, or at most an An Jin martial artist. If you can't find more spirit stones, then your Qi cultivation will not be able to make any further progress!"
"I see!"
Rong Kun suddenly realized.
Actually, there was another cultivation method that Gao Yan didn't mention, which was blood-sucking cultivation. But if this inhumane method were to spread, it would probably cause quite a bit of chaos!
Time slowly passed.
Another batch of kidney-tonifying medicinal wines has been put up for auction.
Ultimately, it was acquired by a wealthy individual for 550 million.
And today's auction has officially come to an end.
Afterwards, Rong Kun led Gao Yan to the backstage area of the auction to complete the handover.
The handover went smoothly.
After he paid, the auction house handed him the Cheng Ying Sword and five spirit stones.
"Young friends, please wait a moment!"
Just as Gao Yan stepped out from backstage, the feng shui master, accompanied by his twin granddaughters, called out to him.
"Is there something you need, sir?"
Gao Yan asked.
"I am Zhuge Yong, may I ask how you two young friends are addressed?"
"Zhuge Yong, are you that feng shui master?"
Rong Kun asked with some surprise, "People in Hong Kong believe in feng shui, so there are many feng shui masters in Hong Kong. This Zhuge Yong is a big name among the feng shui masters in Hong Kong."
He was a frequent guest in the homes of many wealthy people.
"I dare not say it's just an empty title!" Zhuge Yong said modestly.
"Hello Master Zhuge, my name is Rong Kun, and this is Gao Yan. May I ask what brings you here?"
Rong Kun suddenly became polite. Regardless of whether this Master Zhuge had any real skills, it wouldn't hurt to be polite to him since he was a guest of honor of the top tycoons!
A short while later.
A private room in a tea restaurant near the auction house.
“Master Zhuge, you must have something to discuss with us, right?” Rong Kun asked directly.
Zhuge Yong nodded and looked at Gao Yan, saying, "Young friend, you were the one who bid on those five crystals, weren't you? I wonder if you could show them to this old man?"
"Can!"
Gao Yan took out a wooden box and placed it on the table.
Zhuge Yong opened the wooden box and saw five spirit stones lying inside. His eyes narrowed slightly. He then picked up one and carefully sensed it. He was basically certain that these were the spirit stones recorded in his sect's scriptures.
He suppressed his excitement, placed the spirit stones into the wooden box, and looked at Gao Yan, saying, "Young friend, could you do me the honor of transferring these crystals to me? I would be indebted to you!"
"This isn't a crystal, it's a spirit stone!"
Gao Yan said with a half-smile.
Zhuge Yong's mental strength exceeds one hundred, which is clearly not innate; he must have some method or technique to increase his mental strength.
Upon hearing that Gao Yan actually knew about spirit stones, Zhuge Yong's expression froze for a moment, and he said somewhat reluctantly, "I didn't expect that you, young friend, also know about spirit stones!"
"May I ask, Master, what is the purpose of these spirit stones?"
Gao Yan asked with a smile.
"this?"
Zhuge Yong hesitated for a moment, but after pondering for a while, he said, "To be honest, my sect's feng shui manual requires spirit stones to complete. Unfortunately, I have been searching for spirit stones for decades without success. Only recently did I learn that the five crystals being auctioned at Christie's are suspected to be spirit stones!"
"So, this spirit stone is very important to you?"
"Indeed, I hope my young friend will grant my request!" Zhuge Yong said sincerely.
"How about this, you show me your feng shui manual, and I'll give you a spirit stone?" Gao Yan smiled, suspecting that the other party's feng shui manual could temper spiritual power.
