Family Rise by Daily Intelligence

Chapter 672: Chapter 284: Ancient Rare Treasures, Ascendant Cultivators, Who Will Claim the Prize?

Ascendant Cultivator?!

Fu Changsheng saw this piece of intelligence.

His heart instantly sped up.

If this Ascendant Cultivator is still alive, does it mean he can communicate with this successfully ascended Divinity Transformation Great Power?

This could be the greatest treasure and opportunity!

”Fifty thousand Spirit Stones once, fifty thousand Spirit Stones twice. If none of you bid, this [Message Tree] will return to its original owner.”

Elder Qin saw no one was bidding.

He sighed.

He knew the owner of this [Message Tree], Old Chen. The man had practically gambled his life to secure a Foundation Establishment Pill for his daughter; after returning from the inner layer of the Blood-colored Forbidden Area, Old Chen’s vitality was nearly exhausted, with only a few months left to live.

If no one bids.

Then the Foundation Establishment Pill Old Chen previously auctioned will have to be retrieved and placed for the final showdown; this was what they had privately agreed upon:

”Since no one is bidding, then.....”

”I will take it.”

Fu Changsheng retracted his thoughts from the panel, calmly quoted a price.

Upon hearing this, Elder Qin smiled instantly:

”Fifty thousand Spirit Stones once, fifty thousand Spirit Stones twice, fifty thousand Spirit Stones three times, sold!! This [Message Tree] goes to guest number eighty-six on the third floor.”

Ding ding ding.

The Tuning Hammer struck three times.

As soon as he finished speaking.

A low sobbing sound suddenly arose from the first floor.

Elder Qin’s Divine Sense swept over.

He found that it was Old Chen, who had been hanging on by a thread, finally achieving his wish and passing away with a smile.

Elder Qin sighed slightly.

But soon sorted out his feelings and loudly declared:

”Ladies and gentlemen, next is the much-anticipated finale treasure. Ruyi, please present the treasure.”

Qin Ruyi, standing behind him, nodded slightly.

Turned and entered the inner room.

Soon, four maids pushed out a flower stand, atop which was placed a treasure box covered with a red cloth.

The audience fell silent.

Everyone was anticipating what the first finale treasure would be.

On the other side.

The maid, holding the [Message Tree], arrived at Fu Changsheng’s private room. After the transaction, the maid smiled sweetly:

”Senior, I’ll be waiting outside. Just command if you need anything.”

Able to spend fifty thousand Spirit Stones to bid on an unwanted [Message Tree], this person must be a major client, deserving attentive service.

After the maid withdrew.

Fu Changsheng had just obtained the [Message Tree].

Suddenly, a familiar mechanical voice echoed in his mind:

”Ding”

”You have acquired a [Message Tree] capable of communicating with the Spirit Realm for your clan, earning three thousand and two Clan Contribution Points.”

Soon after.

The contribution points on the panel immediately changed to three thousand four hundred.

Looking at the numbers on the panel, Fu Changsheng felt a surge of joy:

”The system can reward so many contribution points, indicating that this [Message Tree] must have extraordinary uses.”

He tried to calm himself down.

Immediately planted the [Message Tree] into the Spirit Field of the Yellow Stone Medicine Garden, observing the [Message Tree] still wilted, estimating it would take some time to recover.

Meanwhile.

At the auction site.

Elder Qin waved his sleeve.

In an instant, the red cloth covering the treasure box was lifted.

With a technique cast into it.

The treasure box opened.

Soon after.

Ten complete Foundation Establishment Pills came into view.

The crowd present nearly gasped in shock at the ten Foundation Establishment Pills; glances were exchanged, with some even developing thoughts of robbery because these were ten Foundation Establishment Pills.

Which could yield ten Foundation Establishments!!

At this moment.

Buzz.

There was a trembling in the air.

Soon after.

A purple-robed elder slowly approached from outside the door, not walking on the ground, but traveling through the air.

Only a Great Cultivator of the Purple Mansion could achieve this.

The crowd’s fervent hearts were instantly doused with cold water, regaining their rationality.

With a Great Cultivator of the Purple Mansion in charge.

Who would dare act recklessly?

Fu Changsheng scrutinized, realizing it was evidently the same person as the purple-robed elder from the last auction he attended:

”Could this person have always been stationed at the Wanning Commerce Association in the South Huai Prefecture?”

But upon reflection, it made sense.

The Wanning Commerce Association housed numerous treasures, without an absolute power in control, how could it deter the wicked?

Elder Qin cupped his hand towards the purple-robed elder.

Then turned to face the crowd and declared loudly:

”As all of you can see, ten Foundation Establishment Pills, each of top quality, sold only in a set. The starting price is one hundred thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones, with each bid increase not less than five thousand Spirit Stones.”

One hundred thousand Spirit Stones was only the minimum price.

Even the most common Foundation Establishment Pill cost twenty thousand Spirit Stones in the marketplace and was still hard to find, while the price of top-quality ones was even higher. Bidding them as a set of ten would surely double the price.

Once you capture all ten Foundation Establishment Pills.

Ten Foundation Establishment battle powers could instantly arise within the clan.

Not only Ninth-Grade Noble Families, but even veteran Eighth-Grade Noble Families found it a huge allure, their eyes reddened.

Evidently.

The Wanning Commerce Association intended to exhaust the foundations accumulated by families over the years.

As soon as Elder Qin finished speaking.

A trembling voice cried out:

”I bid two hundred thousand!”

This swiftly discouraged small powers still harboring illusions.

Someone bid two hundred thousand.

Immediately, others followed up:

”I bid two hundred ten thousand.”

”Hmph, I bid two hundred fifty thousand.”

”I bid two hundred eighty thousand. If anyone offers more, then I concede graciously.”

Two hundred eighty thousand was already a substantial amount of Spirit Stones.

Yet this bid came from someone on the second floor; no one on the third floor had made a sound.
