Chapter Eighty-four: Congealing Heart Blood Orchid

  Twenty million yuan, enough to buy one hundred and thirty stalks of third-grade spiritual medicine, would be a considerable sum for any third-rate power, but now it was spoken of lightly by a young girl.

  Zheng Jian hesitated for a moment, then turned his head to look at a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man looked very ordinary, but the gaze he shot out was as sharp as an eagle's, and his body emitted an astonishing aura, which was precisely Mingyuetang's master, Zheng Jian's father, Zheng Nan, a powerful being in the peak of the Creation Boundary.

  Although Zheng Nan did not know why his son wanted to contend for that iron plaque, the contention for this iron plaque had obviously escalated from a duel of momentum between two young men to a height concerning the face of two major forces. So he also nodded lightly and tacitly approved his son's actions.

  "Three million yuan!" Zheng Jian saw his father nodding in agreement and also gritted his teeth, shouting an even more explosive price.

  "Four hundred million yuan!"

  When Mu Han Qing called out 40 million yuan, Zheng Jian's face also turned extremely ugly. Although he could afford 40 million yuan, they still had items to compete for later, and if they spent too much here, it might not be beneficial for the competition afterwards.

  Four hundred million Xuan coins, although it's just a drop in the bucket for Fengyun Sect, but after all, Zheng Nan is only the master of Mingyuetang Hall. If the elders of Fengyun Sect find out, they might scold Father. Besides, spending four hundred million Xuan coins on this iron plaque would be a huge loss, so Zheng Jian decided to give up.

  "Never mind, let it be yours!"

  When Zheng Jian said this, everyone in the hall felt a little disappointed, and the good show ended like this, which was a bit disappointing.

  "Four million yuan for the first time!"

  "Four million yuan, for the second time!"

  "Five hundred million yuan!"

  Just as Yao Li was about to strike the auction hammer, Zheng Nan suddenly called out in a slow and drawn-out voice, his words echoing throughout the entire auction hall under the cover of Xuan Li's power, revealing without a doubt the peak of his strength at the Great Round Completion stage.

  No one expected that at this time, Zheng Nan would intervene again.

  "Zheng Tangzhu, a struggle among juniors, for us seniors to intervene, isn't it beneath our dignity?" Mu Chengde said coldly.

  The people present also heard some anger from Mu Chengde. In the face of Zheng Jian's provocation, the people of Mingyuetang not only didn't stop him, but instead let him make trouble, and finally even Zheng Nan didn't care about his identity and intervened, which made Mu Chengde very angry.

  "Chengde brother, in this auction house, we speak with strength, do we still distinguish between seniority and juniority? If so, then it's better to send some newborn babies to bid." Zheng Nan said with a faint smile.

  Everyone thought about it and Zheng Nan was indeed right. The treasure would naturally go to those with real power.

  Yao Li was staring at the two major forces, looking a bit stunned. He never expected that this broken iron plate in front of him could be sold for as high as 5 million Xuan coins, which was too exaggerated.

  "It seems that this time the Fengyun Sect wants to make trouble with the Murong Clan." A soft voice said from behind, it was an old man who looked like Xie Shi, Xie Dashi.

  "Han Qing, let's just forget it and tell Uncle De," said Mu Feng softly to Mu Han Qing. He hadn't expected this iron plaque to cause such a commotion.

  "This has nothing to do with this iron plate. You can rest assured, Uncle De will handle it properly." Mu Hanqing shook her head, the development of things had indeed exceeded her expectations, and was almost a bit out of control.

  "Six million yuan!"

  As expected, Mu Chengde and Zheng Nan exchanged a glance before making another offer. If it were just a matter of financial resources, the Mu clan would have been able to crush Mingyuetang. However, this time Mingyuetang was entrusted by Fengyun Sect, whose financial resources should not be underestimated.

  "Haha, the Mu family is indeed wealthy and arrogant. Zheng Nan has to admit defeat." Zheng Nan said with a smile.

  Six million yuan coins, if used to buy three spiritual medicines, can be bought for 400 shares. Although the first confrontation between the two major forces ended with the victory of the Mu family clan, people still looked at the Mu family clan and others with a strange gaze, using six million yuan coins to buy this iron token, absolutely losing money.

  But Mufeng had a kind of intuition that the value of this iron plaque was absolutely far beyond 60 million yuan.

  As Yao Li's auction hammer fell, this iron plaque finally fell into the hands of Mu's family.

  As the competition between Mingyuetang and Mushi ended, the auction of several items in the next session was somewhat calm, with prices not exceeding 6 million yuan.

  After Mu Chengde took down the iron plaque, he didn't make another move, just coldly watching everything that happened in the scene. Zheng Nan also remained silent, it seemed they were both after the treasures behind the auction scene.

  Everyone knows that there will be a fierce confrontation between these several major forces in the end, and they are more and more looking forward to it.

  Mo Feng looked at the items being auctioned, his eyes wide with wonder. These were things he rarely saw in his daily life. However, the four major powers didn't think much of them, and to them, these weren't anything rare or precious.

  But Mufeng also knew that the real grand finale was yet to come.

  When only three maids were left on stage, people's faces also showed excitement, and these three objects were the real treasures.

  "This is a sixth-grade spiritual medicine, Cong Xin Blood Orchid, the main material for refining Cong Shen Dan." Yao Li lifted the brocade cloth, revealing to everyone a blood-red, five-petaled heart-shaped orchid that emitted a rich fragrance while also exuding a hint of eerie aura.

  As they gazed at the Blood Heart Orchid on stage, which was entirely crimson in color, everyone's breathing became heavy.

  Jing Xin Xue Lan is the main material for refining Jing Shen Dan, which is well-known to everyone. Jing Shen Dan is a high-grade elixir that can help warriors condense and refine their yuan shen.

  Before a warrior enters the state of "out of body", he only has a physical body and a soul. However, after entering this state, he can condense his primordial spirit in the dantian (lower abdomen), so that even if his physical body is damaged, as long as his primordial spirit is not destroyed, there is still hope for rebirth.

  The yuan Shen is different from the soul. When a warrior's physical body is damaged, the soul cannot exist independently and will also disappear with the wind. The yuan Shen is another special existence that can be condensed by the Xuanli in the dantian after a warrior enters the state of out-of-body. It can be called the second flesh of the warrior.

  The intensity of the primordial spirit also varies across different boundaries. The primordial spirit of a strong practitioner in the Out-of-Body Realm cannot be separated from their physical body for an extended period. A strong practitioner in the Spiritual Throughput Realm can have their primordial spirit exist independently outside of their physical body for several decades or even hundreds of years. A strong practitioner in the Carefree Realm can have their primordial spirit last for hundreds of years. Once a martial artist reaches the Martial Ancestor Realm, their primordial spirit has reached an extremely powerful level and can last for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

  However, no warrior would easily let their yuan Shen leave their physical body, as this would cause damage to the yuan Shen and result in a significant decline in their cultivation.

  Successfully refining the yuan Shen not only increases one's survival rate, but also greatly improves a warrior's cultivation. Of course, not every warrior who enters the state of leaving the mortal realm can refine the yuan Shen, and it is imaginable how difficult it is to refine the yuan Shen?

  Using Jing Shen Dan can greatly reduce the difficulty and increase the success rate of a warrior's cultivation of their Yuan Shen.

  At this moment, everyone's eyes in the auction hall fell on the Cong Xin Blood Orchid, and the scene became extremely quiet.
