Chapter 290
A first-grade sun-moon artifact the sickle moon forged by a mysterious origin realm refiner capable of unleashing the power of the mysterious origin realm! Starting bid five thousand spirit origin pills! The auctioneer brought out a weapon wrapped in radiant light. It carried an aura that made hearts palpitate. As soon as this weapon appeared quite a few people began whispering among themselves. Everyone stared at the weapon with burning eyes.
The auction house had many items up for bid this time including some truly excellent pieces. But the appearance of a sun-moon artifact truly pushed the auction to its climax. Every single person fixed their scorching gaze on this sickle moon!
What are spirit origin pills? Ye Chu asked Ruoshui curiously. In this auction house all transactions were conducted in spirit origin pills. Ye Chu’s ears had practically grown calluses from hearing the term but he still had no idea what it was.
They are pills refined using mysterious stones medicinal herbs and infused with spiritual energy by an alchemist. They contain rich concentrated spiritual energy and are of great use to cultivators. They are a common cultivation pill suitable for all ages and serve as the standard currency unit in the cultivation world. Gold coins and the like can circulate in the mortal world but in the cultivation world spirit origin pills are the currency. While explaining Ruoshui took out two rice-grain-sized pills from her bosom and handed them to Ye Chu. These are spirit origin pills. Try one!
Ye Chu took the two pills. Under Ruoshui’s beautiful gaze he swallowed them. The moment the pills entered his mouth they turned into a warm current that flowed into his body. Ye Chu clearly felt two surges of spiritual energy rush into him permeating his limbs and bones. His body felt tempered and even the spiritual energy in his qi sea increased noticeably.
What surprised Ye Chu most was that the improvement was very obvious.
Such a good thing! Ye Chu felt delighted inside. He thought that with spirit origin pills assisting his cultivation his progress could increase more than tenfold.
One mysterious stone combined with medicinal herbs can refine about two hundred spirit origin pills. Ruoshui said. An ordinary mysterious stone is worth roughly one hundred spirit origin pills. Converted to gold coins that would be tens of thousands!
Ye Chu was stunned. He thought to himself that this was truly not something ordinary people could afford. Although the effect was astonishing and using it for cultivation could make one’s strength soar rapidly without deep family foundations one simply could not sustain it.
Have you used spirit origin pills for cultivation since you were young? Ye Chu asked Ruoshui curiously. Thinking that someone from a great clan like Ruoshui must have wasted quite a lot of such precious items. Ye Chu reckoned that with a hundred spirit origin pills one could fully cultivate an innate realm expert.
I have used them but stopped later! Ruoshui answered. Although spirit origin pills are effective using too many makes them useless afterwards. From childhood to now I have used no more than one hundred thousand in total. After one hundred thousand they have no effect at all.
One hundred thousand! And you call that no more than?! Ye Chu swallowed hard. Looking at the transcendent and peerlessly beautiful woman before him he felt genuine heartache. One hundred thousand pills what did that represent? It meant enough to cultivate a thousand innate realm experts. Based on the starting price of a first-grade sun-moon artifact that was worth twenty of them.
What kind of concept was this? With such profound resources one could dominate an entire region! Yet Ruoshui spoke of it dismissively!
Only now did Ye Chu truly understand how wealthy the Floating Life Palace actually was. He took a deep breath before saying. Lend me one hundred thousand spirit origin pills to use?
Ye Chu believed that if he had one hundred thousand spirit origin pills his strength would advance by leaps and bounds. He might even break through to the mysterious life realm in one go.
You can! But have your master vouch for it! Ruoshui agreed. However her words made Ye Chu completely give up hope. If the old madman were willing to vouch for anything then pigs could fly.
I finally understand why you descendants of ancient great clans cultivate so quickly. With such resources backing you how could you not be fast? Ye Chu said somewhat jealously. He thought to himself how come he was not born a second-generation rich kid.
Resources are only one aspect. The path of cultivation ultimately depends on oneself. Resources are merely supplementary. What truly matters is one’s own fortune. Ruoshui said. Your cultivation speed is not slow at all. It is not much worse than those who squander spirit origin pills.
But if I had things to squander I think I could go even faster! Ye Chu grinned. His gaze burned as he looked at Ruoshui. He wondered if he should beg for sugar and let this rich woman keep him.
But would that be too spineless? If the old madman and the others found out would they break all three of his legs?
Six thousand spirit origin pills!
The cultivators in the auction house kept calling prices. The value of the sickle moon climbed steadily until someone bid six thousand spirit origin pills.
Ye Chu was penniless and naturally had no right to compete with them. As the price rose higher and higher it was finally snatched by a mysterious life realm cultivator for seven thousand spirit origin pills.
Seven thousand spirit origin pills. That should let me break through several levels right!
It can only assist. True breakthroughs still depend on yourself. If your primal spirit is not strong enough and your realm has not arrived no matter how many spirit origin pills you swallow it will only be a waste. There is even the danger of qi deviation. Ruoshui looked at Ye Chu calmly and said. Let me give you a piece of advice. Although external objects can aid cultivation you must keep it in moderation. Otherwise your entire life could be ruined by them.
It is hard for me to understand how someone who has swallowed one hundred thousand spirit origin pills can tell me to keep moderation! Ye Chu looked at Ruoshui and laughed.
A faint blush appeared on Ruoshui’s perfect oval face. It was unclear whether she felt shy about what she had done in the past. But that pink tender and charming look was utterly captivating.
Believe it or not! But those with truly heaven-defying talent never rely too heavily on external objects. Ruoshui did not explain further. After speaking to Ye Chu she turned her gaze back to the auction stage.
Ye Chu shrugged as if it did not matter. His eyes fell on the auction platform where a jade box had appeared.
The auctioneer pressed his palm on the jade box. His resounding voice echoed through the void. This is a cultivation method for evil spirit practitioners. Although it is only low-grade it can lead cultivators into the path of evil spirit practice. Its value is no less than a sun-moon artifact. Starting bid is still five thousand. If anyone is interested in evil spirit practitioners feel free to bid.
Ye Chu and Ruoshui exchanged a glance. Their gazes landed on the jade box. This was the purpose of their trip. They had come precisely for this evil spirit practitioner cultivation method.
As soon as the item appeared some people looked fervent while others remained indifferent. The reactions were sharply divided!
Everyone please place your bids!
Right after the auctioneer spoke Ye Chu turned to Ruoshui and said. Help me win this!
As he spoke Ye Chu blinked both eyes hard trying desperately to send out some charm.
Put away those cross-eyed stares of yours! Ruoshui said calmly. If you disgust me any further believe me I will throw you out!
Ye Chu was furious. What affectionate and emotional eyes those were. Shouldn’t a woman be mesmerised when she saw them? Shouldn’t she be intoxicated by them? Yet this pair of eyes brimming with deep affection she actually dared to commit the ultimate sin and call them cross-eyed. Such a shameless outrageous lie deserving a thousand cuts!
