Chapter 3485: Wooden Staff (Revised)

d the experienced herbalist Jiang Yun, smelling these aromas wafting into his nostrils, instantly understood.If my calculations are correct, beneath this sea of magma, there should be a colossal cauld...The shopkeeper's words couldn't help but elicit a wry smile from Ru Yu's face.

Although the outcome was within her expectations, she hadn't anticipated how ruthless the shopkeeper's terms would be!

At the Qiankun Auction House and restaurant, transactions involving millions of top-grade Heavenly Stones were made by true powerhouses.

The three items that Jiang Yun gave to Ru Yu for auction were all rare treasures. However, when put together, they only sold for nearly 400,000 high-grade Heaven and Earth Stones.

That was still because Jiang Yun's luck was better. When auctioning the Longevity Pill and artifact, there happened to be someone who needed them, otherwise, at most, they could only reach half the price.

Although Ru Yu believes that Jiang Yun should also come from a powerful family and be able to meet the shopkeeper's condition, she thinks that for the sake of only gaining entry to the auction, no major force would do so!

If it's a gradual process, taking a few years or even decades, then there's no big problem.

Even if Jiang Yun and the forces behind him were willing, there was only two days left until the auction began, which wasn't enough time.

In short, the shopkeeper is not really preparing to give Ginger Cloud a chance to participate in the auction!

It's fine if you don't give Jiang Yun a chance, but intentionally making things difficult for him will inevitably make him resentful, and there is even a possibility that he will completely cut off all ties with Qiankun Auction House.

Without Ginger Cloud, I've lost my lucky charm.

Therefore, after a moment of hesitation, Yu cautiously looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, could you please be a little more tactful"

"The young master probably just wanted to go see the excitement and maybe buy something. Even if we didn't want him to participate, it wasn't necessary to refuse him like this!"

"Perhaps I should tell him that all the rooms have already been booked and there's simply no more available."

Upon hearing those words, like jade, the man looked up at her. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he just shook his head. His tone turned cold as he said, "Just tell him my original words and get out!"

As soon as Yu heard this, he knew the shopkeeper was angry. He didn't dare say another word and could only nod his head before turning around and leaving the room.

But after RuYu left, another woman's voice suddenly rang out in the secret room: "RuYu has followed you for so many years, and now that she's finally met a rich man, you just cut off her fortune like this. Isn't that a bit too much!"

To the man, the woman's voice held no surprise. He leaned back in his chair slowly and said, "It's not that I'm being overly dramatic, but our path is becoming increasingly difficult to walk."

Let's not talk about distant things, just this auction. It is said that thirteen major forces from the Heaven-Reaching Realm will participate, especially the Heavenly Patrol lineage.

"As for this man surnamed Gu, his appearance was truly peculiar. To this day, his origins remain a complete mystery."

"Hearing this, the woman's voice rang out again: 'You're doing this to force that Gu fellow to reveal his true identity, aren't you'"

The man nodded and said, "Yes, if he can meet the condition I put forward, then it's highly likely that he is related to the thirteen major forces."

After all, the thirteen major factions are bound to participate in this auction.

Even if I offered them millions of Sky Stones, they would probably still agree.

And now, with only two days left until the auction, only thirteen major forces could accomplish what I've described in such a short time!

If he can't come up with it, then this person, no matter their background, will at least be unable to enter the auction doors. I wouldn't worry about him making any waves either.

"Although Ru Yu was brought up by me, she is not truly one of us after all. She isn't qualified to know about these matters yet."

"Speaking of which, the man sighed and said: "Nowadays, it's a time of great turmoil. Chaos is imminent, so we must be careful!"

The woman fell silent for a moment before saying, "Yes, it hasn't been easy getting this far. We can't afford to make any more mistakes!"

Since you're so suspicious of this "Gu" family, why not go see him yourself and get his story

"Since you're higher in rank, like a jade pendant hanging high, maybe speak a little more freely. You never know what discoveries might be made!"

The man shook his head, a hint of amusement on his face. "Didn't you see him You didn't pick up on anything, but ended up attracting the attention of that girl from the Tie family!"

"Shut up!" the woman's voice suddenly rang out, laced with a hint of anger and frustration.

The man nonchalantly spread his hands and said, "Since you haven't found anything, I probably won't either if I go."

"Well, if he can really get into the auction, I'll wait and see what happens. I can always try to probe him then!"

As jade returned to Jiang Yun's presence, she was troubled and uneasy. She did not dare to conceal anything and relayed the shopkeeper's words to Jiang Yun.

At last, Yu Mian, with a wry smile on her jade-like face, continued, "Young Master Gu, the shopkeeper didn't mean any harm. He was just joking with you."

"Don't worry about it, you can try again next time!"

"Ten years, for us cultivators, pass in the blink of an eye, and will be gone soon enough."

"Young Master, rest assured, I'll arrange the best private room for you at the next auction!"

Like jade, she spoke comfort to Jiang Yun with all her heart, fearing that Jiang Yun might get angry.

Even Tie Ruonan, standing beside him, could only twitch her lips in disdain upon hearing this, clearly understanding that the shopkeeper was deliberately making things difficult for Jiang Yun.

However, unexpectedly, after hearing Yu's words, Jiang Yun pondered for a moment before giving a slight smile and saying, "I thought the shopkeeper's price would be much higher. So it's just like this!"

Like jade was completely shocked by what Jiang Yun had said. The shopkeeper's offer, which seemed excessive to him, he actually found acceptable.

Even a hundred million top-grade Heaven and Earth Stones, this breath is a bit too big, isn't it

If it weren't for the fact that Jiang Yun had produced good things before, Yu really would have thought Jiang Yun was boasting.

After regaining her composure, Ru Yu forced a smile onto her face and said, "Since Young Master Gu can do it, then naturally it's good."

"Now there are still two days, Young Master Gu just needs to fulfill this condition before the auction starts, and then I will definitely be able to let Young Master enter the auction!"

However, Jiang Yun shook his head and said, "Isn't it just a million top-grade heavenly stones There's no need for two days, I have them on me!"

I don't know, is this thing worth a million dollars!

As soon as the words left his mouth, Jiang Yun flipped his wrist, producing something extra and handing it to Ru Yu.

Seeing what Jiang Yun handed over, Ru Yu was slightly taken aback. She didn't expect Jiang Yun to have such good things on him at all times.

Ruyu hesitated for a moment, took the thing, and turned it over and over in her hand for a long time, but she couldn't figure out what it was.

This thing looks like an ordinary wooden stick, about an arm's thickness and a foot long. Both ends are extremely uneven, as if they were just broken off from somewhere.

However, this thing exudes a faint fragrance. Upon smelling it, one feels refreshed and invigorated, even the soul feels incredibly comfortable.

"Ruyu asked in puzzled tone: "Master Gu, forgive Ruyu's shallow knowledge. May I ask, what kind of treasure is this"

Ginger Cloud simply waved her hand and said, "Take that to your manager, he should know who I am. Also, ask him if the private room for the auction is ready for me!"

The man, upon seeing the object Jade handed him, had his pupils constrict slightly and he abruptly rose to his feet. He snatched the wooden staff, gazed at it for a moment, and then exclaimed, "Red Water Divine Wood!"

"What!"

As beautiful as jade, her complexion changed drastically. She pointed at the wooden staff in the man's hand and said, "This, is this the Chi Shui Divine Wood that grows in the Crimson Sea beyond our domain"

The man nodded heavily, saying: "This Red Water Divine Wood, don't look at it being only a foot long, but it takes at least ten thousand years!"

This value, don't even talk about millions of Earth stones, truly encountering a person worth ten thousand, even if it costs tens of millions, there will be people who buy it!

"Let's go, take me to see him!", the Heavenly Execution Clan, since the establishment of this hall, throughout countless generations, have never witnessed such an unprecedented occurrence where thousands of life stones exploded sim...
