Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 206

Chapter 206 Please, “Double Dao Fellow”

be kind. The auction proceeded smoothly, with rare treasures being displayed one after another, stunning those present.

What Jiang Li saw as ordinary treasures were, to others, unattainable treasures.

“This is the improved spiritual rice released by the Fengyu Spiritual Plant Sect. It has three to five times the spiritual energy of the spiritual rice currently available in Jiuzhou. It can be harvested twice a year, and after twenty harvests, it loses its properties and becomes ordinary spiritual rice.”

“Starting price: 1,200 medium-grade spirit stones.”

A small bag of improved spiritual rice sparked a fierce competition among various factions, and even the largest ones were left with a few casualties.

After all, what faction doesn’t have youngsters? Those

who haven’t practiced fasting (bigu) can all use spiritual rice, and even those who do are simply not eating, not not eating.

This high-density spiritual rice also has some benefits for those who already practice it.

Jiang Li, however, wasn’t interested in it.

After all, the weakest cultivators in the Human Emperor Palace were already at the Spirit Transformation Stage, and they were all extremely gifted, so they didn’t need spiritual rice.

The Red Dust Pure Land did need this spiritual rice, but as one of the six major sects, it purchased the best spiritual rice directly from the Wind and Rain Spiritual Plant Sect. The rice

being auctioned wasn’t the Wind and Rain Spiritual Plant Sect’s best spiritual rice, but rather, it was a failed attempt at researching and developing spiritual rice.

How could they just leave their best stuff out there? It wasn’t like

they were short of spiritual stones. They were at the auction to advertise.

Even this failed product was better than the spiritual rice currently available.

“The shed skin of a dragon, only one step away from becoming a true dragon, still has traces of dragon mucus on the inside, which aids in body refinement.”

“Starting price: 5,000 mid-grade spiritual stones.”

The dragon skin on display was incomplete, otherwise it would have fetched far more than its current price.

“I, Yu Quan, have my eye on this item. I hope you’ll give me a favor and offer five thousand mid-grade spirit stones!” a domineering voice boomed from the VIP room. It was a gesture of respect, but judging by the tone, it sounded more like a threat than a courtesy.

“It’s the young master of the Yu family! The Yu family boasts two peak-level Spiritual Transformation ancestors! Nothing he sets his sights on has ever been snatched away!” someone exclaimed. “Anyone who dares to compete with him will die!”

Jiang Li, upon hearing such a good offer, immediately

raised the price: “Six thousand mid-grade spirit stones.” “Hmm!” Yu Quan, displeased at the lack of respect, registered Jiang Li’s face and sneered cruelly. “Six thousand five hundred spirit stones! I wonder who dares to raise the price!”

“Twelve thousand mid-grade spirit stones.” Without a second thought, Jiang Li doubled the price.

Yu Quan’s face grimaced. Where did this upstart come from? How could anyone bid that much?

“Thunderwood, starting price: 8,000 mid-grade spirit stones.”

“I, Ma Hua, find this item very appealing. I hope you’ll give me some money.” A shrewd voice boomed from the VIP room.

“It’s the Ma family’s son, the Ma family has…”

“Sixteen,000 mid-grade spirit stones.” Jiang Li, worried that the Yu family’s son wouldn’t be able to bring himself to teach him a lesson, had

once again set his sights on this Ma family’s son. He hadn’t caught it clearly, what was his name?

It didn’t matter; the price was right.

“Fellow Daoist, we’re all cultivators, and it’s inevitable that we might accidentally fall and get seriously injured walking at night,” Ma Hua said grimly. “I’ll offer sixteen thousand and one spirit stones.”

“Thirty-two thousand mid-grade spirit stones.” Just kidding! Jiang Li was just waiting for someone to get hurt walking at night. His joy doubled at Ma Hua’s threat.

“Good, you’re doing well!” Ma Hua gritted his teeth, sat down angrily, and began to consider how to teach Jiang Li a lesson.

“Soul-Breaking Grass, starting price: 7,500 mid-grade spirit stones.”

“This belongs to Zhang XXX…”

“Surprisingly, it belongs to the young master of the Zhang family. The Zhang family has…”

“Fifteen thousand mid-grade spirit stones.” Jiang Li, hearing the familiar phrase, bid reflexively.

“This belongs to XXX…”

“Surprisingly, it belongs to XXX…”

“Double it.”

“This belongs to XXX…”

“Surprisingly, it belongs to XXX…”

“Double it.”

“This belongs to Zhu Yi…”

Jiang Li waited for a long time, but heard no exclamations from the others. Curiously, he asked the man who had only exclaimed.

“Brother, you haven’t introduced Zhu Yi yet, so I can’t make an offer.”

The man was almost in tears. “Brother, we have no grudges. Please let me go. It doesn’t matter if you provoke these powerful young masters in the city, but don’t drag me into this. Look at the looks in those young masters’ eyes, they all think we’re in cahoots.”

Jiang Li looked up and saw that the young masters he had deliberately provoked were looking at him and the man next to him with unfriendly eyes.

The man was well-informed, able to tell everyone in the VIP room about everything. He usually enjoyed exclaiming, introducing everyone to who was who, displaying his erudition and finding satisfaction.

After today, he’d never do that again.

Jiang Li figured he’d provoked so many people, and many would probably want to teach him a lesson, so he gave up.

He felt the man introducing him hadn’t had a good time, so he secretly slipped him a Spirit Gathering Talisman to aid his future cultivation.

“White Bone Activating Blood Flow Pill, it dredges the meridians, cleanses the marrow, and opens the acupoints.”

“Starting price: 10,000 mid-grade spirit stones.”

A pleading voice rang out from the VIP room. “I’m Jinshi of the Jin family. My family has three ancestors who reached the Spirit Transformation stage. My younger brother was born with blocked meridians. This White Bone Activating Blood Flow Pill is truly effective for me. Please, ‘Double Daoist Fellow’ in the audience, please spare me.”

Jiang Li didn’t bid again, and someone soon called out 11,000 mid-grade spirit stones, and the auction returned to normal.

Jiang Li’s casual bid naturally caught the attention of those behind the auction. Jiang Li was asked to prove his financial resources to pay the price. He easily demonstrated his nouveau riche by pulling out a mountain of high-grade spirit stones.

Those arrogant disciples from aristocratic families, knowing they couldn’t compete with Jiang Li financially, had completely given up on competing, hoping to teach him a lesson after the meeting.

“Thousand-year-old flesh Ganoderma lucidum is a superb substance for nourishing the soul and even reshaping the body,”

the auctioneer enthusiastically explained. This attracted the attention of some, who had ancestors whose lives were reduced to mere spirits, with centuries to live.

Rather than possessing another body, they preferred to carve their own.

Ruyi Gourd watched helplessly as the thousand-year-old flesh Ganoderma lucidum was sold, speechless.

Deciding it was best to remain a human being, Ruyi Gourd secretly supported the Spirit Medicine Sect, urging them to quickly research the Spirit Treasure Transformation Bath.

However, it had just received a secret message from the Spirit Medicine Sect’s leader, stating that Emperor Jiang Ren had forbidden research, forcing the Spirit Medicine Sect to abandon the project.

Since the Spiritual Medicine Sect is unreliable, I can only rely on myself, thought Ruyi Gourd. Its purpose in coming to the auction today was to get this thousand-year-old meat Ganoderma lucidum. Who could have expected to run into Jiang Li here

? Could it be that its intentions had been discovered? Ruyi Gourd was terrified.

“Why aren’t you bidding on anything?” Jiang Li asked curiously when the auction was about to sell the last three mysterious items.

“Just to open my eyes, just to open my eyes. I have no intention of buying anything,” Ruyi Gourd replied nervously.

“If there’s anything you like, I’ll buy it for you,” Jiang Li asked kindly.

“No, no, absolutely not.”
