Chapter 334: Chapter 333: Earth Emperor Pearl

Storage equipment also has grades. The higher the grade, the larger the space, and it can hold items with higher energy.

Take Long Zhao’s Mystic Sky Stick for example. This item is a mystical artifact, and normal storage equipment simply cannot contain its power. That’s why Long Zhao always carries the Mystic Sky Stick on his back—it’s not because he’s idle, but because he truly can’t fit it in!

Carrying a mystical artifact around all day is a dangerous thing.

The storage bag being auctioned below is higher-quality storage equipment and can contain the Mystic Sky Stick.

Long Zhao opened his mouth to speak, but upon hearing that this storage bag was priced at one hundred eighty thousand spirit stones, he immediately gave up on the idea.

Too expensive.

Can’t afford it.

As he continued watching, there were dozens more treasures to follow, all of them spirit artifacts.

Rare items on the Luoxing Islands, yet here they were common at the auction house.

Whether it’s a spirit sword, a treasured blade, or armor, there was even a spiritual artifact furnace.

Zhong Lin was truly seeing new horizons.

"Next up is a Seventh Grade elixir, the Sixty Years Pill. Consuming one can extend your life by sixty years. Bidding starts at three hundred thousand spirit stones, with each increase no less than ten thousand spirit stones,"

announced the green-clad woman loudly.

As soon as the words finished, the entire auction hall buzzed with voices.

"Three hundred ten thousand spirit stones."

"Three hundred fifty thousand spirit stones."

"Three hundred eighty thousand spirit stones."

"Four hundred thousand spirit stones."

Those calling out were mostly elderly martial artists, their eyes fixated on the golden elixir on the altar held in a jade box, shouting loudly, their expressions extremely excited.

"Brother Zhong, do you see that? That’s the influence we alchemists have. Just one spirit pill can captivate their minds and make them willing to be our lackeys,"

said the Jing City alchemist, looking down at the martial artists who were becoming frenzied over the Sixty Years Pill, his face full of pride, feeling like a fisherman throwing feed into a pond and watching the fish scramble for it.

Zhong Lin turned to glance at the Jing City alchemist, his lips slightly curling in a faint smile.

Bait...

In the water, there aren’t just fish. Sea beasts might jump out too.

And fishermen don’t catch fish every time either. Empty nets are more common.

Even though a Sixth Grade alchemist is respected, in this world, martial power still reigns supreme; skill is just a means, but strength is the core.

The Jing City alchemist before him had clearly gone astray. With such resources, he’s still at the Spirit Sea Realm in cultivation, likely to remain so his whole life.

He inwardly shook his head and stopped paying attention to the alchemist’s arrogant words, instead asking: "Jing City alchemist, do you know by whom this Sixty Years Pill auctioned by the Green Moon Commerce was made?"

"It should be by Green Moon Commerce’s alchemist Gou Jian. He specializes in crafting life-extending spirit pills. The Sixty Years Pill, a Seventh Grade spirit pill that can add sixty years to one’s lifespan, is something only he excels at on New Moon Island. Every year, he releases one at the Green Moon auction, not only boosting the commerce’s fame but also amassing wealth. Truly enviable."

"Gou... Gou Jian?"

Zhong Lin was taken aback, mainly because this name sounded more sinister than his own master’s.

The Jing City alchemist looked at Zhong Lin with a half-smile: "That’s right, it’s Gou Jian. You can laugh in my face, but never in Alchemist Gou Jian’s. Someone once mocked his name and ended up dead in a tragic way."

"Thanks for the warning."

The Sixty Years Pill was eventually bought for four hundred sixty thousand spirit stones by a martial artist in the Yunling Realm.

"The next item is an earth-attributed Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure: the Earth Emperor Pearl."

The green-clad woman pulled back the red cloth on the table, revealing a gem the size of a human head.

"This item can be used to condense a spiritual body and also for cultivation, starting at five hundred thousand spirit stones."

The entire orb was earthy yellow. As it appeared, numerous earthy yellow rays spun around, thick earth energy radiating intensely, stirring Zhong Lin’s "Five Elements Mixed Essence Skill," as if it wanted to fly out and devour the orb.

"I didn’t expect Green Moon Commerce to have acquired something as valuable as the Earth Emperor Pearl and still bring it to auction. Such a waste!"

The Jing City alchemist’s face also showed a hint of greed, longing to possess the Earth Emperor Pearl as his own.

Zhong Lin timely recalled the essence of the Earth Emperor Pearl. It’s said that only after countless millennia of primordial qi gathering in towering mountains could such a gem form. Rumor has it that given enough time, the Earth Emperor Pearl could even develop spiritual wisdom and become a deity of the land. No one knows if this is true.

After watching for a while, Zhong Lin nodded, suppressing the pulsations of the "Five Elements Mixed Essence Skill."

The Earth Emperor Pearl is indeed quite useful for practicing the "Five Elements Mixed Essence Skill," especially the "Thick Earth Skill." With this pearl, one’s spiritual origin could be elevated another level.

However, what the "Five Elements Mixed Essence Skill" currently lacks isn’t these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, but more cultivation techniques to remember and transform.

"Eight hundred thousand spirit stones, I’ll take it."

The Jing City alchemist shouted, his tone full of dominance. After all, increasing the price by thirty thousand in one go is not something ordinary people can afford.

As the Jing City alchemist stood proud, a voice suddenly came from another VIP room.

"Nine hundred thousand."

The Jing City alchemist’s face instantly turned somber, surprised to be interrupted on his first purchase attempt.

He turned his gaze, glaring fiercely at the VIP room not far away.

"One million."

"One million one hundred thousand."

"Daring enough."

The Jing City alchemist slapped the table, his vigorous spiritual origin reducing it to a pile of powder.

"One million two hundred thousand."

Zhong Lin and Long Zhao exchanged glances, seeing a subtle understanding in each other’s eyes.

This sheep is indeed fat!

"Jing City alchemist, don’t act on impulse. Though the Earth Emperor Pearl is precious, one million two hundred thousand spirit stones far exceeds its value. Competing further is pointless," Zhong Lin advised.

The Jing City alchemist chuckled coldly: "No way, trying to snatch from me, I have plenty of spirit stones. I’ll drown him with them if I have to."

"One million three hundred thousand."

"One million five hundred thousand."

"One million six hundred thousand."

"Two million."

The Jing City alchemist suddenly raised the price significantly, as if fed up with competing.

This two-million price left the other party momentarily silent.

The entire auction hall fell silent, watching the competition with envy or seeing them as fools.

Mainly because two million spirit stones far exceed the Earth Emperor Pearl’s value, it’s purely a battle of wills.

Ultimately, the Earth Emperor Pearl went to the Jing City alchemist, though he spent double the spirit stones.
