Chapter 118: Cloud-like Spirit Flower
Song Yu took a sip of tea and said in a calm voice, "It seems that the other guests present do not intend to compete with me. Then... Steward Zhu Ying, it's time to announce the results."
Zhu Ying snapped his folding fan shut: "Ten thousand gold coins for the first time! Ten thousand gold coins for the second time! Ten thousand gold coins for the third time!"
"Bang!"
Zhu Ying struck the bell: "Sold! Congratulations to Lord Po Yue for winning the first item of this auction, the Crimson Flame Golden Crystal!"
Song Yu put down his teacup, stood up, faced the people on the first floor, clasped his hands in greeting and nodded: "I, Song, thank you all for your kindness."
Ye Fei raised an eyebrow slightly. Is this Song Yu, the master of Po Yue Tower and Xie Qin Gui?
Hmm... she had assumed it would be a tall, burly man.
But to my surprise, he turned out to be a man with a calm and collected demeanor.
Those present exchanged bewildered glances. Song Yu must have acquired this Crimson Flame Gold Crystal to forge a better weapon.
But apart from Song Yu, there are probably very few people present who could possibly move this exceptionally high-quality Crimson Flame Gold Crystal...
Zhu Ying clapped his hands, and the beautiful woman in purple robes appeared, carrying a tray.
"Next up is the second item for auction, a rare herb from the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts on the Southern Dipper Continent—a Cloud-Vast Spirit Flower that is 1,800 years old!"
The red silk cloth was picked up, and a pink and white flower bloomed before everyone's eyes. A faint fragrance filled the air, refreshing the mind and eyes, and invigorating the spirit.
Ye Fei picked up a fruit and put it in her mouth, crunching away.
The human realm is divided into four continents: the Eastern Continent, the Southern Continent, the Western Continent, and the Northern Continent.
The Lingyun First Auction House isn't just auctioning off treasures from the Eastern Continent...
"Master, should we bid on this Cloud Spirit Flower?" Qing Li's childish voice echoed in my mind.
Ye Fei chewed on the fruit in her mouth and communicated with Qing Li through the contract: "What is the use of this flower?"
"The Cloud Mist Spirit Flower grows only in the Cloud Mist Mountains within the Forest of Ten Thousand Beasts. It feeds on the spiritual mist of heaven and earth and is one of the medicinal materials for refining Qi Fusion Pills. However, its greatest use is not in refining pills."
Ye Fei asked in confusion, "What other use does it have?"
"If a drop of blood is placed on the flower's stamen, the Cloud-Vast Spirit Flower will form a bond with the person who gave it the blood and develop a protective instinct towards them."
"A spirit flower that protects its master? That's interesting." Ye Fei's interest was piqued. "But you also said that this flower absorbs the spiritual mist of heaven and earth, so it probably already has sentience. What if it doesn't like its contractor?"
Qingli said, "The Cloud-Vast Spirit Flower is generally quite arrogant. Other humans might be disliked by the Cloud-Vast Spirit Flower, but this kind of thing will absolutely never happen to you, Master."
"Master's spiritual space contains the spiritual energy of the Wood Immortal Spring. The spiritual energy of the Wood Immortal Spring not only attracts wood-type spirit beasts, but also plants. Therefore, the Cloud-Vast Spirit Flower will definitely not look down on you, Master, and will even beg you to keep it!"
Ye Fei smiled and raised her hand to tug at Li Yuan's sleeve.
From the start of the auction, Li Yuan sat upright with his eyes closed, resting until he noticed the girl tugging at his sleeve, at which point he slowly opened his eyes.
She pointed to the Cloud-Ethereal Spirit Flower on the auction stage, her smile quite awkward: "...Um, I want this Cloud-Ethereal Spirit Flower, could you lend me the money first?"
At this moment, the Cloud Spirit Flower is already in the auction stage, and the highest price so far is 150,000 gold coins.
Looking at her, Li Yuan couldn't help but feel a sense of pleasure.
He, the Seventh Elder, and Huang Rongyu all told her they would lend her money.
But the first person she thought of was him.
