Longevity: Start Farming with Entries-Chapter 358 - 337: News

Inside the private room.

Du Xue’s face showed a look of excitement.

Every item before her eyes could be used as the finale auction item.

If this deal is completed, wouldn’t she have overachieved her task?

She could also show off in front of her peers at the Five Blessings Auction House.

At the same time, Du Xue looked at ’Shopkeeper Lu’ with an exceedingly eager gaze.

"Shopkeeper Lu, our Five Blessings Auction House is sure to fetch you a good price for these items."

"And rest assured, we are absolutely discreet about our clients’ privacy; no one will know the origin of these items."

"Here is a consignment auction agreement, if you find it agreeable, we can sign it right away."

Qin Ming nodded at her words and then picked up the jade scroll to read it over.

The Five Blessings Auction House only takes a ten percent commission, which is pretty reasonable.

He quickly signed the agreement.

Afterward, Du Xue exchanged a few more words with him.

"Shopkeeper Lu, given the high-grade nature of your items, we will arrange a VIP seat for you with personalized service."

"You can simply come here on time three days later."

After reaching an agreement, Du Xue warmly saw Qin Ming out of the auction house.

Now, Qin Ming lacked neither wealth, cultivation techniques, pills, nor spiritual materials, unless it was an exceptionally rare Tier Three Spirit Object or a Nascent Soul Formation pill formula or spiritual object.

After leaving the Five Blessings Auction House, Qin Ming was planning to take a stroll in the market.

He hadn’t taken many steps when a sound came from the Communication Talisman on his person.

Qin Ming retrieved the Communication Talisman and, upon scanning it with his Divine Thought, found that it was Han Yuan, Liuu Ye, and Gao Feng from the Ten Thousand Dao Business Alliance who had also arrived at this trade fair.

Given that the Ten Thousand Dao Business Alliance was the organizer, these three Fellow Daoists naturally came to carry out their duties.

Qin Ming put away the Communication Talisman and followed the address Han Yuan had given.

Half an incense stick’s time later.

Qin Ming navigated through twists and turns along the main street until he arrived at a renowned establishment in Great Jin, the Wind-Riding Tower.

This building was luxuriously and impressively decorated, catering to high-end customers; cultivators without any background or strength simply couldn’t afford it.

The attendant in charge of reception led Qin Ming to a table near the window on the second floor.

At this moment, apart from Han Yuan and the other two, there were two additional people at the dining table.

An elderly man in a coarse robe, with simple attire and slightly dark skin, possessing Mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, looked vibrant with no signs of aging.

From this person, Qin Ming sensed the aura of someone who had spent years working in fields, likely a Spirit Plant Master.

The other was a rugged man with a horse-like face, possessing Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation.

"Haha! Fellow Daoist Lu has arrived."

"Come, come! Let me introduce you to these two gentlemen, this is Shopkeeper Lu who has traveled all the way from the Southern Wilderness."

"Fellow Daoist Lu, I’ve long admired you!"

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Lu."

Qin Ming cupped his hands and responded, thus making their acquaintance.

Han Yuan ushered Qin Ming to join them and introduced, "This is Elder Xie from our alliance, a Tier Two High-Grade Spirit Plant Master."

It was evident that although Elder Xie was only at Mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, Han Yuan and the others held him in high regard.

"The other is Fellow Daoist Ma Yu."

"Both are our colleagues, working in the Ten Thousand Dao Business Alliance."

"Greetings, Fellow Daoists." Qin Ming cupped his hands in return.

Then they dined while chatting.

"By the way, Fellow Daoist Lu, do you plan on auctioning anything this time?"

"I heard that your esteemed pavilion is a considerable force in the Southern Wilderness, you should have quite a few excellent items?" Liuu Ye asked with a smile.

Qin Ming replied with a faint smile, "Fellow Daoist Liuu overpraises me, my pavilion is nothing significant in Great Jin. I’m just here to gain some perspective."

Han Yuan and the others were genuinely pleased to see Qin Ming again, though Elder Xie and Ma Yu had a lukewarm attitude due to meeting him for the first time.

At this moment.

Ma Yu raised his hand to set up a Soundproof Barrier and mysteriously said:

"Let me share some insider news with you, it might shock you."

At his words, the people at the table looked at each other, showing puzzled expressions.

Seeing their reactions, Ma Yu lowered his voice and continued:

"Do you know who will preside over this Five Blessings Auction?"

Han Yuan shook his head and retorted, "Could it be that Younger Brother Ma knows?"

"That’s right, this time, the auction will be presided over by Elder Jin Han," Ma Yu replied.

"What? It will be presided over by Elder Jin? That’s a very high standard." Gao Feng also showed a surprised expression.

Qin Ming pretended to know nothing, but he had already learned from Hua Tianxiong’s memories about Elder Jin Han’s background.

The Elder Jin Han they spoke of was one of the few renowned Late-stage Golden Core cultivators in the Great Jin Cultivation Realm, with unfathomable strength.

"Elder Jin rarely appears for such public events, I wonder what special reason there is for his personal appearance this time?" Han Yuan had guessed a bit.

Although they worked under the Ten Thousand Dao Business Alliance, they were at the bottom and had no access to core information.

"Indeed, it’s said that the reason for such grandeur is because, at this auction, there will be a Golden Core Formation Pill and a Nascent Soul Spiritual Object as the finale auction items."

"However, the upper echelons are very secretive about it, so I don’t know what kind of Nascent Soul Spiritual Object it is."

Upon hearing this.

Not only Han Yuan and the others but even Qin Ming was startled.

’Nascent Soul Spiritual Object?’

’It’s unbelievable that I’ve come across such a top-tier opportunity so soon after arriving in Great Jin.’

’What luck!’

’However, this kind of spiritual object will no doubt be the target of various major forces and won’t be easy to obtain.’

’Hmm, I can have Hua Tianxiong participate in the bidding secretly, after all, I came all the way to Great Jin for this.’

’There’s no way I can let such an opportunity slip through my fingers.’

Thinking of this, Qin Ming felt a great sense of satisfaction and immediately remarked:

"According to Fellow Daoist Ma, this Five Elements Mountain trade fair will be an unprecedented event, and Mr. Lu is certainly not coming here in vain, haha."

Upon learning that a Golden Core Formation Pill would be auctioned, Han Yuan and the others also showed a longing expression, sighing repeatedly.

However.

These kinds of spirit pills are beyond their reach, let alone the Nascent Soul Spiritual Object.

As the group continued discussing.

A clamor sounded from downstairs, and a Golden Imperial Carriage stopped at the Wind-Riding Tower, escorted by a group of attendants. From the carriage, a corpulent cultivator exuding strong mana stepped out.

Sitting by the window, Han Yuan and the others naturally saw this scene, their expressions turning slightly grim as they communicated telepathically, "It’s Elder Hua again, why is he here too? Last time there was a senior from Lihuo Palace to mediate."

"We’d better keep our distance from this kind of evil star."

"Should we leave first?"

But before they could get up, Hua Tianxiong, dressed in luxurious clothing, had already reached the second floor, and as he was about to continue upwards, he inadvertently glimpsed the people by the window on the third floor.

Not wanting to be seen, Hua Tianxiong’s face twitched upon seeing Qin Ming at the table.

However, he only paused momentarily before carrying on as if nothing had happened, heading straight to the fourth floor.
