Chapter 357: Chapter 160: The World’s Spirit Plant, The Luminous Treasure Tree!_1
Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue, after disguising themselves, assumed new identities to attend the auction held at Red Leaf Valley Market.
Although the auction would not start for another month,
these three months were also a period for warming up.
They not only invited major powers to participate but also welcomed loose cultivators with precious materials and treasures to come for appraisal and auction.
Many loose cultivators might acquire some treasures with which they were unfamiliar and had to spend spirit stones to seek appraisers for authentication.
And, to attract more people, the four great families invited several appraisers to reside at the auction venue, offering free authentication services.
“I have seen the two seniors!”
“What brings the two seniors here? To appraise treasures or to auction?”
As soon as Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue entered the auction venue, the person in charge, who was inside, felt a tremor throughout his body, hurried forward, and revealed a respectful and flattering demeanor.
The reason was simple; Xiao Xiyue didn’t hold back her aura, displaying a hint of Foundation Establishment energy.
In the world of cultivation, often, just revealing a bit of one’s strength could make many tasks much more convenient.
“Both.”
Xiao Xiyue said in an even tone.
Her voice also underwent a slight change, becoming colder and more noble.
“The two seniors… please come up to the second floor!”
The person in charge extremely reverently bowed and led the two to the third floor of the venue.
The loose cultivators waiting in line for treasure appraisal, upon seeing this scene, didn’t think that the two had jumped the queue or that there was anything inappropriate in the behavior of the person in charge.
Instead, they all looked on with respect, admiration, envy, and curiosity at Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue.
…
The environment on the second floor was particularly elegant.
Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue were shown to a private room and had just taken their seats when a middle-aged man, adorned in splendid attire, hurried over.
His face was scholarly, and he wore a blue magical robe emblazoned with flowing spiritual light.
Upon seeing the two, he bowed, saying, “I have seen the two seniors, I am Yu Zhengguang, humbly in charge of this auction venue and also an appraiser… May I inquire about what the two seniors wish to auction or have appraised?”
One needed to verify their identity upon entering the marketplace and procure an identity token.
If a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator came by, the marketplace would of course receive them with the utmost courtesy.
But the Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators who had recently entered the marketplace did not include the two present.
Thus, he knew the two did not wish to reveal their identities and dared not inquire further.
After all, for an unknown Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, one must adopt the correct attitude.
“Take a look at these talismans.”
Xiao Xiyue took out a stack of talismans and gently placed them on the table.
“Talismans?”
Yu Zhengguang carefully took the talismans, examined them for a moment, and then looked back at Xiao Xiyue with an added depth of reverence in his eyes.
“Seniors, these talismans are all Second Rank Low-Grade, but I can see that they are all Premium Talismans.”
“May I know if the seniors wish to auction or directly sell them?” Yu Zhengguang asked respectfully and politely.
“Auction.”
Xiao Xiyue said calmly.
“No problem, I will arrange it right away for the seniors. However, there is some time before the auction starts. Do the seniors wish to store the talismans with our auction house until then, or…”
Yu Zhengguang asked.
“I will come over when the time comes.”
Xiao Xiyue said calmly.
“Very well, when the seniors arrive, you can present this token, and I will immediately make the necessary arrangements,” Yu Zhengguang said, taking out a token.
“Do you recognize what kind of demon beast egg this is?”
At that moment, Lu Changsheng took a pale aqua egg from his storage bag, placed it on the table, and inquired.
It was indeed the pet egg harvested from Meng Yibai’s Spiritual Pet Bag.
With the sheer number of demon beasts, it was incredibly difficult to identify them through their eggs.
After searching, Lu Changsheng couldn’t find what kind of demon beast egg it was or how to hatch it.
Now that there was an opportunity, he wanted to see if the other party knew.
“A demon beast egg?”
Yu Zhengguang looked at the demon beast egg in front of him.
He then respectfully bowed, picked up the egg, and scrutinized it carefully.
After examining it for a moment, his eyes shone with a golden light, evidently employing a type of visual art for identification.
“Seniors, please wait a moment while I confirm this,” he said, bowing to Lu Changsheng and taking out a Jade Scroll from his storage bag to consult.
After looking through a couple of Jade Scrolls, he finally spoke, “Seniors, if I am not mistaken, this should be the egg of a ‘Green Jade Luan Bird.’
“A Green Jade Luan Bird?”
Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng’s eyebrows lifted.
“Yes, this is information about the demon beast, the Green Jade Luan Bird,” Yu Zhengguang said, handing over the Jade Scroll to Lu Changsheng.
“The Green Jade Luan Bird, an Earth Grade Middle Bloodline.”
“It is rumored that the Green Jade Luan Bird has a trace of the Azure Phoenix True Spirit’s bloodline, making it quite outstanding among Earth Grade bloodlines. With proper nurturing, it could potentially become a Third Rank Demon King.”
Lu Changsheng looked at the Jade Scroll, which depicted a Luan Bird that resembled green jade in its entirety, strikingly beautiful, vivid, and full of an immortal aura. Below was a simple introduction about this Green Jade Luan Bird.
But he did not see anything regarding the hatching and nurturing methods of the Green Jade Luan Bird.
“Do you know how to hatch and nurture this Green Jade Luan Bird?”
Lu Changsheng asked.
His current mount was still the trash Iron Feather Eagle.
If he knew how to hatch and nurture the Green Jade Luan Bird, he might consider raising it.
Setting aside its combat capabilities, the Green Jade Luan Bird was indeed pleasing to the eye.
“Senior, I do not know about the hatching and nurturing methods for this Green Jade Luan Bird…”
“However, I have heard that the Green Jade Luan Bird is fond of the sky-blue Warm Jade. You may try building a nest with sky-blue Warm Jade in a place abundant with spiritual energy to incubate this demon beast egg; it might be helpful,” Yu Zhengguang said with a wry smile.
“Alright, thank you,” Lu Changsheng nodded and put the pet egg away.
He knew that the methods for hatching and nurturing demon beasts were often closely guarded secrets.
