Becoming The Food God In This Cultivation World

Chapter 142: Life Crystal



The first item up for auction was indeed revealed, but only the fact that it was a 100.000 Years old torso bone was disclosed, without further details.

It wasn’t until Xu Yilian provided a detailed introduction that everyone understood the true value of this Spirit Bone.

The fact that it was a 100.000 Years old Spirit Bone and a torso Spirit Bone alone was enough to drive its price sky-high. Not to mention, this Spirit Bone originated from a dragon-type Spirit beast. Although it was only a pseudo-dragon, the Inferno Terra Dragon was already one of the top existences among pseudo-dragons, almost comparable to a true dragon.

Moreover, the Spirit skill within this Spirit Bone turned out to be one of the most precious Domain Spirit skills among 100.000 Years old Spirit skills.

The starting price of 1 million Gold Coins was far too low relative to its actual value. It was probably just a threshold for bidding.

“5 million!” A guest in one of the VIP rooms made the first bid, directly reaching this price.

In the VIP rooms on the second floor, most people had come prepared, their goal being the three climax auction items. At this moment, the auction area on the first floor quieted down.

It was understandable. Under normal circumstances, auction participants without the qualifications to enter the VIP rooms wouldn’t have the financial means to bid on such climax auction items.

5 million was just the beginning. Soon, the bidding price soared, surpassing the 10 million mark, with no sign of slowing down.

Qi Han’s prediction was correct. The value of a 100.000 Years old torso bone indeed exceeded 10 million Gold Coins. Coupled with its origin from a dragon-type Spirit beast and the DomainSpirit skill, the final transaction price of this Spirit Bone might even double.

When the bidding on the second floor finally showed signs of slowing down, the price of this item had reached 18 million Gold Coins. At this moment, even among the second-floor guests, many rooms chose to retreat due to insufficient financial resources.

In the end, the 100.000 Years old torso bone was sold to Room No. 3 for a transaction price of 21 million Gold Coins, falling into the hands of Shrek Academy.

This price had broken the record for the highest transaction price in the Starlight Auction House’s history.

Xu Yilian appeared very excited. After all, such a transaction price was achieved under her supervision. Her voice carried a hint of excitement as she announced, “Congratulations to Room No. 3 for acquiring the first climax auction item at a price of 21 million Gold Coins! Now, let’s move on to the second climax auction item, which is a special one.”

Qi Han instinctively sat up straight. Was this the item the system had prepared for him?

Special? Qi Han was curious to see what made it special.

Soon, a maid brought out a small tray covered with red cloth. Before it was fully revealed, a rich aura of life burst forth from beneath the red cloth, permeating every guest.

Qi Han felt a sense of relaxation throughout his body, a significant relief. He felt rejuvenated, with a healthy flush on his face. In his arms, even Pururu sensed the rich aura of life and gradually relaxed, his fur appearing shinier.

The previous auction of the 100.000 Years old Spirit Bone had startled Pururu. As a Spirit beast less than 10 years old, suddenly sensing the aura of a 100.000 Years old Spirit beast would have made it go crazy if not for Qi Han’s efforts to calm it down.

The faces of all the guests turned slightly solemn. Although they didn’t yet know what this item was, the overwhelming aura of life exuding from it upon its appearance indicated that it was extraordinary.

Being placed as the second climax auction item meant that the Starlight Auction House considered its value higher than the first climax auction item.

“Ladies and gentlemen, to be frank, originally, there were only two climax auction items for this large-scale auction. However, five days ago, at the request of a friend of the Starlight Auction House, this item was added to the climax auction items. According to the rules, this item is not provided by the auction house and will be subject to special auction rules set by the item’s provider.”

Xu Yilian’s face showed a hint of helplessness. “According to the provider’s request, I won’t provide any introduction or explanation for this item, not even mention its name. The provider has left a message for all of you through me.”

“The treasure will go to those destined to receive it.”

“The starting price for the second climax auction item is 10 million Gold Coins, with each bidding increment not less than 1 million Gold Coins. Bidding starts now.”

After Xu Yilian finished speaking, the maid lifted the red cloth, revealing the true appearance of the second climax auction item.

It was a palm-sized, emerald-green, transparent crystal with a flowing color on its surface, giving it a lifelike appearance.

Although the item had an extraordinary appearance, the scene fell into silence.

What was this?

It seemed that very few people recognized this item, and for a moment, everyone didn’t know how to bid.

The starting price had been given, but it had reached an outrageous price of 10 million Gold Coins, leaving everyone somewhat perplexed.

The overwhelming aura of life emanating from it was palpable to everyone, indicating that this green crystal was extremely extraordinary. However, without knowing what it was or its value, people hesitated to bid.

Qi Han furrowed his brows, silently communicating with the system.

“System, wasn’t it just five days ago when I arrived at the Starlight Auction House? Is this item related to you?”

Whether it was the sudden issuance of this Time-limited Quest by the system or the behavior of letting him choose the second climax auction item, it all felt somewhat eerie. Could it be that the system was trying to get him to buy this item through the Starlight Auction House?

But why?

If the system wanted to give it to him, it could have just done so directly. Why go through all this trouble?

【The Time-limited Quest the system issued indeed relates to this item, but this item was not provided by the system. The system only sensed its existence.】

At this point, the system finally explained proactively.

‘So that’s how it is’, Qi Han realized.

It seemed that this item was indeed very useful to him, or else the system wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to ensure he obtained it, even at his own expense.

Truly, the system loves me.

Now, Qi Han no longer had any psychological burden. He directly raised his placard and made a bid, “11 million!”

As the red cloth was lifted, Tang Qianqiu’s wine glass quietly turned into powder. He remained unaware, only staring wide-eyed at the green crystal in the center of the stage.

“What the hell…”

He hadn’t lost his composure like this in over a hundred years.

Was it true that no one recognized this green crystal?

At least Tang Qianqiu knew that two people must recognize it.

One was himself, and the other was Qi Poxiao.

After they both broke through the level 99 Limit Douluo, they once ventured into the Star Dou Forest together. With the strength of two Limit Douluo, they should have been able to traverse even the core area with ease.

They were merely curious about the extremely mysterious core area of the Star Dou Forest.

After entering the core area, they quickly discovered a vast and beautiful lake. At the very center of the lake, there was a green crystal floating in mid-air. That green crystal seemed to possess boundless vitality, nourishing the entire core area.

That was obviously a precious treasure.

The two of them harbored thoughts of obtaining it, wanting to take away the green crystal. However, their actions attracted the most terrifying existence in the core area.

It was a black dragon Spirit Beast named Di Tian, whose specific age was unknown but was probably over 500.000 years old. Its strength was extremely terrifying. Even when the two of them joined forces, they could only barely withstand its attacks.

In the core area, there were more than just Di Tian. As more and more 100.000 Years old spirit beasts attacked, the two of them could only flee to save their life. Even with the strength of a Limit Douluo, they still couldn’t match the Spirit Beast in the core area. Tang Qianqiu still harbored resentment about it to this day.

And he clearly remembered that at that time, Di Tian referred to that green crystal as the “Life Crystal,” which seemed to be the most important treasure in the entire core area of the Star Dou Forest.

And now, the green crystal lying quietly on the auction tray was none other than the Life Crystal, wasn’t it?
