Longevity: Start Farming with Entries-Chapter 361 - 340: Hua Tianxiong’s Boldness

"What?!"

"Nascent Soul Spiritual Object?"

The cultivators in the venue all showed expressions of shock, especially those below the Golden Core Stage.

Their immediate reaction upon hearing this was not to consider how to bid for the item, but to think about retreating.

These Low-Tier Cultivators, sweating profusely, were already getting up to leave the auction hall.

Who knows what crazy actions the Golden Core Masters present might take, perhaps even fighting over the Seven-Aperture Tribulation Flower here.

After all, in the face of the temptation of Nascent Soul Formation, rules and ethics are but clouds.

If a fight breaks out, these Low-Tier Cultivators are likely to get caught in the crossfire and perish.

"Fellow Daoists, please remain calm."

"This Seven-Aperture Tribulation Flower, ranked as a Tier Three Top-Grade Spirit Plant, though a Nascent Soul Spiritual Object, is only seven hundred years old..."

Elder Jin Han released a terrifying mana wave of late-stage Golden Core, instantly intimidating the restive crowd.

Upon hearing this, the cultivators snapped out of their daze and calmed down.

"What a pity, only seven hundred years?"

"Even so, your alliance is truly generous, willing to auction such Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures."

"Fellow Daoist Jin, what is the price for this Seven-Aperture Tribulation Flower?"

The tense atmosphere among the few Golden Core Stage cultivators eased, and they exchanged looks of sudden realization.

They thought it over carefully and understood that if it were a Nascent Soul Spiritual Object with sufficient medicinal power, the Ten Thousand Dao Business Alliance would have cultivated their own Nascent Soul Cultivators instead of auctioning it.

In the box next to Qin Ming, Hua Tianxiong, eating a bunch of grapes, looked down with surprise, murmuring:

"Impressive! Those old fellows from the Ten Thousand Dao Business Alliance are really tight-lipped, not a hint beforehand..."

"Wait!"

"Could it be the item the master wants me to bid on is..."

At that moment.

A cold voice echoed in his mind.

"That’s right, this is it."

"Secure it, no matter the cost."

Qin Ming communicated to Hua Tianxiong through the Black Talisman.

On the other end, Hua Tianxiong quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, master!"

"I will make it happen."

Hua Tianxiong, feeling fortunate, was glad that the Seven-Aperture Tribulation Flower was not old enough.

Otherwise, with all the major powers gathered at this auction, even some Mid-stage Golden Core Cultivators had shown up.

It would be extremely difficult for his Thousand Mechanism Trading Company to win the Nascent Soul Spiritual Object from them.

...

Hearing Elder Jin’s words, the cultivators who were ready to flee returned to their seats.

Soon enough, one of the curious cultivators asked:

"May I ask Elder Jin, as a Nascent Soul Spiritual Object, what effect does this Seven-Aperture Tribulation Flower have? Could you introduce it?"

Elder Jin nodded in response and explained:

"Most fellow Daoists know that for Golden Core Cultivators to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, they must endure many tribulations after their mana has reached perfection."

"During this process, anything that can help even marginally is considered a Nascent Soul Spiritual Object or a stroke of fortune."

"Unlike breaking through the Golden Core Stage, a Nascent Soul Cultivator, apart from the Thunder Tribulation, must also face an exceedingly dangerous Heart Demon Tribulation when advancing in realm..."

"This Seven-Aperture Tribulation Flower is the key ingredient for making the Heart Demon Tribulation Spirit Pill—’Ice Heart Jade Soul Pill.’"

"Taking one during tribulation can effectively maintain one’s core sense, preventing invasion by outside demons."

"Refining an Ice Heart Jade Soul Pill at the very least requires fifteen hundred years of medicinal power..."

"Alas... the Seven-Aperture Tribulation Flower here is only seven hundred years old, not even half the needed age to refine an Ice Heart Jade Soul Pill."

"Nevertheless, as a Tier Three Top-Grade Spirit Plant, it can still be used to refine Tier Three Spiritual Pills, which significantly benefit Golden Core Cultivators by reducing heart demons and strengthening their mind and spirit."

"Of course, the root of this Spirit Plant is well preserved, so spirit plant masters interested in cultivating it can try growing it further to possibly reach the required age of a thousand years..."

Hearing this, cultivators below couldn’t help but comment:

"Growing and cultivating a Tier Three Top-Grade Spirit Plant requires at least the skills of a Tier Three High-Grade Spirit Plant Grandmaster."

"It’s still eight hundred years short in medicinal age; by the time it’s fully grown, it’s too late, Elder Jin, stop joking."

Elder Jin was unfazed and directly declared:

"The auction starts at fifty thousand Middle-Grade Spirit Stones, with each bid increment no less than a thousand Middle-Grade Spirit Stones!"

Then, those Golden Core Masters who had just acquired items sighed and said:

"If only we had known about this treasure flower, we wouldn’t have hastily bid on the previous items... Alas!"

Qin Ming’s sharp gaze was fixed on the Seven-Aperture Tribulation Flower.

For others, the flower wasn’t old enough, lacking more than half its required years.

But for him, ripening this treasure flower to a thousand years was almost effortless...

Originally, he thought that once it was revealed the Spirit Plant wasn’t mature enough, the pressure from the competition would lessen.

Unexpectedly, the ensuing fierce bidding left Qin Ming utterly stunned.

In just the short time of half an incense stick, the price for the Seven-Aperture Tribulation Flower soared to a staggering ninety thousand Middle-Grade Spirit Stones!

In the box next to Qin Ming, Hua Tianxiong was also getting desperate, drenched in sweat, "This concerns my life, how can I let you buy the treasure flower!"

"I’ll fight you all for it!"

"One hundred and twenty thousand Middle-Grade Spirit Stones!!"

Hua Tianxiong almost shouted with his neck straining.

Wow!

As such a sky-high price emerged, the major forces present couldn’t help their faces from darkening, cursing:

"Has Hua Tianxiong lost his mind?"

"Is he crazy?"

"The Thousand Mechanism Trading Company is one of the top ten trading companies of the Ten Thousand Dao Business Alliance, I seriously suspect he’s shouting like this on purpose!"

"I protest!"

The spectators below, however, not fearing the chaos, fanned the flames, "Whoa! President Hua truly has guts! So domineering!"

"Hahahaha!"

Instantly adding an extra thirty thousand made many forces withdraw from the bidding, left only anxiously staring.

"I offer one hundred and forty thousand!"

At this moment, a demonic cultivator wearing a black conical hat, with an unfathomable expression, exuded the cultivation level of a Mid-stage Golden Core, appearing somewhat forceful.

"One hundred and fifty thousand!"

Hua Tianxiong, having wiped off his sweat, seemed much more composed, as if devoid of desires, seeing Spirit Stones as mere numbers.

Having already thrown out one hundred and twenty thousand, he didn’t mind throwing a few more thousands.

After all, he would still feel heartache for a long time afterward...

"One hundred and sixty thousand!" The breath of that demonic cultivator slightly fluctuated, seemingly unable to maintain his composure.

Evidently, spending one hundred and sixty thousand Middle-Grade Spirit Stones on this seven-hundred-year-old Seven-Aperture Tribulation Flower was already somewhat overpriced.

It had surpassed his mental budget.

However, this flower had significant uses for him, making it a must-have.

Just when he thought this price was a sure win, Hua Tianxiong’s voice, light and airy, came from the box:

"One hundred and seventy thousand."

After Hua Tianxiong reported this number, he was actually quite panicked inside, unable to stay calm.

"One hundred and eighty thousand."

"President Hua, I recognize you, but this item is very useful to me. Could you give way? Our Yin Demon Sect will owe you a favor."

As the raspy voice of the black conical hat cultivator spread, the cultivators on-site yielded, avoiding him.

Centered around that Golden Core Demon Cultivator, a circular area was created.

"This person is actually a Golden Core Elder of the Yin Demon Sect from the neighboring Great Li Dynasty!"

"The Ten Thousand Dao Business Alliance truly dares to invite anyone!"

"The Yin Demon Sect is known for holding grudges, they’re like that—never stopping until one of them is dead..."

"Master Hua is completely opposing the Yin Demon Sect for a Spirit Plant of insufficient years, it’s not worth it!"

...

Yet, Hua Tianxiong within the box didn’t see it that way, with his own life nearly at stake, why care about the Yin Demon Sect?

Hua Tianxiong directly lifted the curtain, leaned out, and cursed at the Yin Demon Sect’s Golden Core Cultivator below:

"Not to mention your Yin Demon Sect, even if the Demonic Path Saint Ancestor came today, it’d be the same!"

"Stop using these threats on me!"

"This item, Hua Tianxiong has decided on today!!"

"Two hundred thousand!"

The atmosphere on-site was silent, even the host Elder Jin on the stage was stunned.

He didn’t dare curse the Yin Demon Sect’s elder like that...

"Hehe! Good! Very good!"

"This Seven-Aperture Tribulation Flower, I won’t compete with you for it."

"President Hua, we’ll have our day!"

The man with the conical hat, furious yet laughing, left the auction hall with his disciples, without turning back.

A moment later.

Elder Jin came to his senses, couldn’t help but glance a few more times at Hua Tianxiong, and immediately made the announcement:

"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Hua! You’ve acquired the Seven-Aperture Tribulation Flower."
