My Farming-Style Cultivation Is Way Too Steady - Chapter 558

Chapter 557 Five-Colored Lotus!

Upon hearing this, Xu Changqing rolled his eyes and couldn’t help but complain, “Just because of this, you lost a Nascent Soul True Monarch and a treasure ship, and now you’re still looking for trouble. It seems you’re really not afraid of death!”

Wan Niang quickly waved her hand and then explained, “It’s like this, the Wan family’s higher-ups, that is, the head of the family, have set assessment requirements for all the members below.”

Different treasure ships have different standards.

Therefore, we must set up trading areas wherever we go, especially the fifth floor of Wanbaohao, where we must hold at least one auction to sell as many of the rare and precious materials we have prepared as possible.

Failure to meet performance targets results in demotion. If this continues for more than a year, one’s status and benefits within the company will plummet to rock bottom, potentially leading to the loss of everything.

Xu Changqing asked thoughtfully, “Are you saying that everything auctioned is decided by the family’s higher-ups, and you members who are away can only do what they want?”

Wan Niang nodded: “That’s exactly what I mean.”

Xu Changqing roughly understood.

So, with Wanfu Zhenjun in charge before, Wan Niang seemed very confident, doing whatever she wanted without fear.

Now, the person in charge has been replaced by Zhu Rong, who is a lower realm, so she feels somewhat insecure and worried about being punished by her family.

The only way to turn things around is to auction off the agreed-upon items.

Even if losing a Nascent Soul True Monarch enrages the family head, as long as the gains are significant enough, they can still maintain their current status, position, and treatment.

Logically speaking, whether the Wan family should hold an auction or not, and whether it would offend the Dragon Tiger Immortal Sect, had nothing to do with Xu Changqing; it was ultimately someone else’s private matter.

The problem lies with Zhu Rong, who is his fire spirit root clone. Now he is openly presiding over the Wan family’s treasure ship, becoming the only “backer” that Wan Niang can rely on at the moment.

If Wan Niang gets into trouble, Zhu Rong will be the first to be implicated.

With his clone in trouble, he, as the original body, naturally couldn’t stay out of it.

After thinking it over, Xu Changqing had a plan in mind. He looked up at Wan Niang, who was still anxious, and immediately said, “Don’t panic. Actually, this is not difficult to handle.”

The family only wants the assessment completed; they didn’t specify who the auctioneer should be, right?

Wan Niang was taken aback at first, then realized what was happening and her eyes widened slightly: “Fellow Daoist Xu means… to auction it off ahead of schedule?”

“right.”

Xu Changqing nodded and said decisively, “Take out the items and bid on them now. As long as you pass the assessment, the family won’t care who you sell them to.”

Wan Niang tentatively asked, “Then…the buyer?”

Xu Changqing glanced around and chuckled as he asked, “Is there anyone else on this ship?”

Wan Niang understood perfectly. What she wanted was never the auction spectacle; she only wanted to complete the family’s assessment, nothing more.

It doesn’t really matter who it’s sold to.

Xu Changqing and his group were even more prudent, and could also do someone a favor along the way.

“Alright, let’s do as Fellow Daoist Xu says!”

“Let me know when you’re ready.”

“Okay, I’ll go prepare now!”

Wan Niang responded, her figure flashed out of the corridor, and disappeared around the corner.

Xu Changqing glanced at her retreating figure, then went to the lounge on the next floor.

He didn’t sit still; he told everyone present what they had just discussed.

Su Jinli wasn’t surprised at all: “As expected, there are still good things.”

Hu Bugui’s eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands excitedly, saying, “Is this an exclusive auction held just for us?”

Even Zhang Su, Rong Yan, and others were filled with anticipation at this moment.

They had missed the first auction for some reason and were very disappointed. Fortunately, there were no restrictions this time and everyone present could participate.

This means that everyone can choose what they like.

Only Yu Shi’s gaze fell on Xu Changqing, who thought to himself, “If he can make Wan Niang compromise like this, he must be the next He Master.”

About half an hour later, Wan Niang’s voice rang in everyone’s ears: “The fifth floor of Wanbaohao has reopened, and the auction items are ready. Fellow Daoists, please proceed.”

Immediately, Xu Changqing gave a call and led everyone toward the fifth floor.

When we arrived, the door was open and the lights were on inside.

The interior was damaged due to a previous attack.

It looks like the repairs are almost complete now.

In the center was a wide display stand, on which many things were placed.

Several carved sandalwood chairs were placed near the booth. Zhu Rong had arrived early and was resting on them while waiting for the auction to begin.

Once everyone had arrived, Wan Niang gestured for them to sit down. Then, with a smile, she looked around the room and said, “We’re all family here today, so let’s skip the small talk.”

Every item on the auction stand has a starting price. If you see something you like, simply place your bid; the highest bidder wins. There’s no need to artificially inflate the price.

After saying that, she raised her hand and pointed at the display stand, revealing the first item for auction.

It was a translucent glass cup, containing a ball of five-colored spiritual light. Embedded in the light was a seed the size of a thumb, with five-colored patterns of green, red, yellow, white, and blue swirling around its surface.

Upon closer inspection, they are slowly circulating, automatically absorbing the spiritual energy of the five elements.

Wan Niang’s voice clearly reached everyone’s ears: “The first item is the seed of the five-colored lotus.”

This thing is a companion species of the Five Elements Spiritual Root. It can automatically absorb the Five Elements spiritual energy between heaven and earth. After it is cultivated and survives, it can also advance with its owner’s cultivation level, which is of great benefit to improving strength.

The current reserve price is 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones, and each bid cannot be lower than 1,000.

However, no one in the room spoke immediately.

For those with the Five Elements spiritual roots, this is indeed a good thing.

The problem is that the highest level of spiritual roots here is only four, and no one meets the requirements.

苏烬璃只是扫了眼五色莲的种子，而后就转头看向别处。

由此可见，这东西虽然稀有、罕见，可大家都不感兴趣。

徐长青看向于世，问道：“你就差一个灵根了，不买下来？”

没想到，于世摇摇头：“灵根越多，雷劫威力越大，我压根就不想五行齐全，巴不得封印几个。”

听到他这话，不少人恍然大悟。

难怪此人四灵根，而且只要一百年就能诞生出第五灵根。

结果仙宗的高层非但没有重视，甚至还有点嫌弃，原来是因为于世不打算成就五灵根啊。

面对这种局面，万娘并不感到意外：“既然大家都不感兴趣，那咱们进入下一件拍品把。”

然而下一秒，徐长青抬起右手：“十万零一千！”

除他之外，厅内没人开口。

五色莲的种子，可不是人人都能培育的东西，至少拥有木灵根才能进行尝试，而且失败的可能性很大。

“徐道友出价十万零一千中品灵石，还有更高的吗？”

“最后五息时间了！”

“恭喜徐道友获得五色莲的种子！”
