602: Chapter 562 Auction_1 602: Chapter 562 Auction_1 The elderly woman who was walking along the flower fields, leaning on her cane with someone assisting her by her side, slowly made her way towards the group.

Upon seeing her approach, Hua Tao hurriedly went to greet her, “Mom, it’s so late, why are you not resting in your room but coming out here instead?”

“Never mind that, that young man, the branch he’s holding in his hand, could it be a branch of the World Origin Divine Tree?” the elderly woman said with a grave expression.

Hearing this, Hua Tao looked somewhat puzzled and quickly asked, “What is the World Origin Divine Tree?”

“That’s a Divine Tree that exists only in myths and legends; to this day, no one has ever seen it.”

“And branches or leaves of such a Divine Tree are said to contain terrifyingly powerful Spiritual Energy.”

“Saving our family’s Spirit Tree would be nothing difficult with it.”

Hua Tao, still furrowing his brows with worry, said, “It might be possible to save it, but how?

We don’t even know how.

We’ve already tried making contact with the Spirit Tree using the branch, but there was absolutely no reaction.”

After a moment of contemplation, the elderly woman said, “If you just touch the Spirit Tree directly with the branch, it certainly will have no effect.

You need some special method to connect them.”

Upon hearing this, Hua Tao’s eyes suddenly brightened, and he quickly asked, “Mom, do you know how to do this?

What exactly should we do?”

He asked anxiously, his eyes earnestly gazing at the elderly woman.

“It’s quite simple; I have a set of Bridging Technique Medicinal Conductors here, you just need to gather the ingredients listed, crush them into a medicinal paste.”

“Next, you cut open a branch of the Spirit Tree, smear the paste on it, and then place the Divine Tree branch onto it.

That’s when you can start to draw in the Spiritual Energy.”

Having said that, the elderly woman took out a slip of paper from her pocket and handed it to Hua Tao.

“This is a secret family recipe for infusing Spiritual Energy into the Spirit Tree; we’ve never had the chance to use it, but now it seems we’ve found the right occasion.”

Within the Hua family, there were two secret techniques; one was to extract Spiritual Energy from plants endowed with it.

The other technique was to infuse Spiritual Energy into plants that were lacking it.

The former was the technique they used most frequently, whereas the latter they were employing for the first time.

After receiving the prescription, Hua Tao quickly walked over to Lu Chuan.

“Brother Lu Chuan, we have a way now.

As long as we find the ingredients listed here, we can save this Spirit Tree!” Hua Tao said excitedly.

Lu Chuan took the prescription and glanced at it, asking, “Do you have all the ingredients listed here?”

“Some of the common ingredients we have in stock in our family.

However, there are a few rare medicinal herbs that might require us to leave the city to find.”

Hua Tao turned his head to look at the Spirit Tree and said, “This Spirit Tree should be able to hold on for about two more months; we have plenty of time to gather the materials.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “No problem, I will do my best to help find the ingredients as well.”

“I really appreciate it, bringing over this branch has been a tremendous help to us,” Hua Tao said, his tone earnest.

For the Spirit Tree, he dared not treat it with the slightest negligence, as it concerned the entire family’s survival.

After speaking, Hua Tao looked toward Hua Qianwu, “Quickly, have them settle in at the manor.

After a day’s journey, they must be tired.

It’s best to rest early.”

Hua Qianwu nodded slightly and then turned to Lu Chuan with a smile, “Let’s go, I’ll show you to your room.”

Lu Chuan followed behind Hua Qianwu, with Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang in tow, as they passed through the flower fields and left the sea of flowers behind.

Hua Qianwu cleared out a suite of guest rooms for Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang, where the two sisters settled in, and arranged a study for Lu Chuan, a small room filled with all kinds of books.

Late at night, Lu Chuan washed up and went to bed.

In this Hua Family Manor, the fragrance of flowers could be smelled everywhere.

Even in this study, Lu Chuan fell asleep to the faint scent of flowers.

The next morning, Lu Chuan got dressed, washed his face, and stepped out of the study.

In the courtyard, Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang had just woken up and were sitting at a stone table in the yard, having breakfast.

Lu Chuan approached the stone table and sat down, then picked up a bowl and chopsticks.

“You’re all up early, why didn’t you have breakfast with the Hua family?”

Lu Chuan asked.

“It’s quiet here, just the three of us, with no one to disturb us.”

Gu Xiaorou said, picking up a chopstick-full of vegetables and putting it into her mouth.

After a while, Hua Qianwu approached them.

“How was breakfast for the three of you?”

Hua Qianwu stood next to Lu Chuan and asked.

“Not bad, by the way, do you know how to gather those materials?”

Lu Chuan looked up at Hua Qianwu.

Hua Qianwu smiled and patted Lu Chuan’s shoulder, saying, “Today I’m attending an auction, we’ve received news that among today’s auction items, there will be a rare flower, which is exactly what we need.”

Then, Hua Qianwu glanced over the three of them and asked, “How about it, would you like to come along?”

Gu Xiaosang quickly raised her hand, excitedly saying, “I want to join the auction, take me with you!”

Her eyes filled with anticipation as she looked at Hua Qianwu, hoping she would take her along.

Hua Qianwu touched her shoulder and said gently with a smile, “No problem, we’ll go to the auction together.”

Gu Xiaorou turned to Lu Chuan and asked, “Do you have any money on you?”

That question stumped Lu Chuan; he had a lot of money in the secular world, but the currency of the secular world was certainly not spendable here.

“The common currency here is gold and silver, I’ll give you some.

It would be quite embarrassing if you needed to buy something and had no money.”

She opened her purse and took out several gold ingots.

“This is a total of more than thirty taels of gold, enough for your day-to-day use.”

Gu Xiaorou said, handing the gold ingots to Lu Chuan.

After putting the gold in his pocket, Lu Chuan looked at Hua Qianwu and asked, “Where’s the auction?

Let’s head out.”

Hua Qianwu turned and walked toward the door, “Follow me.

The expenses at the auction will be covered by my Hua family.

Anything you want, just bid for it directly, and I’ll pay for it.”

Hearing this, Gu Xiaosang laughed with excitement, “Really?

That’s amazing, Miss Hua is such a generous person.”

Gu Xiaorou reminded from the side, “Don’t just buy things because someone else is paying, okay?”

Gu Xiaosang nodded obediently, “Don’t worry, sis, I won’t.”

Soon after, the four of them left the Hua Family Manor and headed to the auction house.

The streets of Flower City were beautifully decorated, clean and tidy, with stone-paved roads that were no less impressive than those in the secular world.

The environment was clean and beautiful, making it no surprise that it was a tourist city within the Kunlun Domain.

Walking on the street, they could see the exquisite and beautiful flower lanterns hanging on both sides.

The journey dazzled Gu Xiaosang.

Before long, they arrived at the entrance of the auction house.

Lu Chuan looked up and saw a huge sign.

“Xu Auction House.”

“This place belongs to the Xu family?”

Lu Chuan asked, somewhat surprised.

Hua Qianwu nodded slightly, “Yes, all the auction houses in Flower City are owned by the Xu family.”
