Chapter 358: Spirit Gathering Tree

Ye Changsheng smiled and said, "I want to collect some rare spiritual medicines and spiritual fruit seeds for cultivation."

As the two chatted, the topic gradually shifted from cultivation to their respective interests and hobbies. Su Mengli was very interested in Ye Changsheng's planting techniques and kept asking about the cultivation methods of various spiritual plants.

Ye Changsheng was quite curious about Su Mengli's mastery of water-based exercises, and the two had a great time talking.

Unknowingly, the auction had already begun.

At the beginning, the auction was all second-level treasures, which naturally had no appeal to the two masters of the late Purple Mansion.

They continued to talk in a low voice, occasionally glancing at the items on the auction table.

It was not until the auction entered the third-level upper-grade level that the two shifted their attention from the conversation to the auction items.

Ye Changsheng saw a third-level upper-grade ice lotus and his eyes lit up.

Su Mengli showed a strong interest in a secret book of water-based exercises.

The two began to pay close attention to the progress of the auction, and from time to time exchanged their views on a certain item.

As the auction progressed, the atmosphere gradually became heated. Ye Changsheng and Su Mengli could not help but be infected by this atmosphere and began to actively participate in the auction.

As the auction progressed, a third-level top-grade elixir called Tianyi Lingshui Dan was put on the auction table.

Su Mengli's face suddenly changed, and she said in surprise: "I didn't expect that this elixir would appear in this auction!"

The auctioneer began to introduce this rare third-level top-grade elixir: "Tianyi Lingshui Dan is a treasure for water-based cultivators. This elixir contains pure water elements, which can greatly improve the cultivator's understanding of the way of water."

"It is especially suitable for late-stage Purple Mansion cultivators, which can help them break through bottlenecks and enter a higher realm. After taking it, the speed of cultivation doubles, and the power of water-based magical powers greatly increases. This elixir is rare and hard to find. One is rare in a hundred years."

"The starting price is 200,000 spirit stones, and each bid must not be less than 10,000 spirit stones."

With the introduction of the auctioneer, the atmosphere in the venue suddenly became heated.

Many cultivators raised their cards, and the price soon broke through the million mark.

Su Mengli also joined the auction, with a gleam of desire in her eyes.

After fierce bidding, the item was sold at a price of 2.2 million spirit stones, and the winner was Su Mengli.

After she got the Tianyi Spiritual Water Pill, she said to Ye Changsheng ecstatically: "Great, with this pill, my cultivation is now settled!"

Ye Changsheng sincerely congratulated: "Congratulations to Fairy Su for getting what you wished for. I believe that with this pill, you will soon be able to break through the current realm."

However, just as the two were still immersed in joy, the auctioneer announced the next item: "Tianyi Wangshui Pill, a fourth-level lower-grade pill!"

Su Mengli was stunned and said incredulously: "How is this possible? Even Tianyi Lingshui Pill is rarely seen at ordinary times, how come this rare Tianyi Wangshui Pill has appeared? I must take it!"

As a fourth-level spirit pill, the starting price of Tianyi Wangshui Pill is as high as one million spirit stones, and each bid must not be less than 100,000 spirit stones.

Su Mengli joined the auction without hesitation. The price quickly soared to three million and four million.

Other monks also bid, and the scene was very intense.

When the price reached five million, Su Mengli's face began to look ugly.

She bit her lip, as if she was hesitating whether to continue to raise the price. Ye Changsheng noticed her abnormality and asked softly: "Fairy Su, are you okay?"

Su Mengli smiled bitterly and shook her head: "I don't have enough spiritual stones. I just bought Tianyi Lingshui Dan, and now I have less than six million spiritual stones on hand."

Seeing this, Ye Changsheng smiled slightly and directly raised the sign and shouted: "Six million spiritual stones!"

The whole audience was in an uproar, and everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Changsheng's box. The other bidders were not to be outdone and raised the price one after another. Ye Changsheng seemed to have a plan in mind, and he raised the price by one million spiritual stones each time.

"Seven million!"

"Eight million!"

"Nine million!"

The price soared all the way and soon broke through the 10 million mark.

Other bidders gradually withdrew, and in the end only Ye Changsheng and another mysterious buyer were left to compete.

"Eleven million!"

The mysterious buyer shouted.

Ye Changsheng calmly raised his sign: "Twelve million."

After the auctioneer shouted three times without any response, he finally decided: "Twelve million spirit stones, sold! Congratulations to this distinguished guest!"

The audience applauded, and everyone was guessing who this mysterious buyer who was generous with his money was. After Ye Changsheng bought the Tianyi Wangshui Pill, he pushed it directly in front of Su Mengli and said with a smile: "Fairy Su, this bottle of pill is for you."

Su Mengli was stunned and waved her hands repeatedly: "Brother Ye, this is too expensive, I can't accept it!"

Ye Changsheng insisted: "Don't you need it very much? Just think of it as a gift from me."

Su Mengli took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Brother Ye, I accept your kindness. I will accept the pill, but I will definitely return the spirit stones to you after a while."

Ye Changsheng smiled and shook his head: "No, really."

However, Su Mengli insisted on doing this, and seeing her firm attitude, Ye Changsheng couldn't refuse it anymore.

He noticed that Su Mengli's cheeks were slightly flushed, and he was secretly alert in his heart, fearing that she had misunderstood something.

Ye Changsheng had had enough wives over the years. Although Su Mengli's appearance was not inferior to any of his wives, he had made up his mind not to mess around with other women again.

In order to avoid embarrassment, Ye Changsheng changed the subject and said, "Fairy Su, the auction is not over yet, why don't we continue to pay attention to the items behind."

Su Mengli nodded, suppressed her excitement, and refocused her attention on the auction.

The two of them tacitly did not mention the elixir again, but their friendship deepened invisibly.

The auction continued, and the next items were mostly fourth-level elixirs, magic weapons, and formations, and there were few items such as elixir seeds.

Ye Changsheng was not interested in these and had not participated in the auction.

Soon, the level of the auction items was upgraded to the fourth-level upper-grade level.

The first item caught Ye Changsheng's attention, twelve fourth-level upper-grade spirit gathering tree seeds.

The auctioneer began to introduce the item: "Dear guests, the next item to be auctioned is the seeds of the very rare fourth-grade top-grade spirit plant, the Gathering Spirit Tree, a total of twelve seeds."

"The Gathering Spirit Tree is a treasure that cultivators dream of. It can not only gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but also repair damaged spiritual veins. Planting a Gathering Spirit Tree is equivalent to placing a small Gathering Spirit Array in your backyard!"

"The Gathering Spirit Tree grows slowly is its only shortcoming, but its advantages outweigh its disadvantages. Its value far exceeds that of ordinary spirit plants."

"It is said that some large sects even use the Gathering Spirit Tree to arrange a mountain protection array, which shows its importance. These twelve seeds are enough to greatly increase the strength of a medium-sized sect!"
