Consigning Spirit Peaches for Auction, Wu Jinming's Desire to Advance

The Baojin Sword Pavilion is located in the most prosperous central area of Canglan Immortal City.

It occupies a large area.

As you enter the Baojin Sword Pavilion, a handsome young man in uniform approaches.

It's not that Baojin Sword Pavilion lacks beautiful women; on the contrary, it has many, including even fairies from the Nine Splendor Sword Sect. However, these women are currently serving their wealthy patrons in the various private rooms of the auction house.

If we make them feel comfortable, even a single First Stage Healing Pill can fetch several times its original price at auction.

Of course, we only sell services, not our bodies.

However, if those female disciples actively engage in transactions with those wealthy patrons, the Nine Splendor Sword Sect has no say in the matter.

Sensing the faint but palpable pressure emanating from Zhang Xuanchen, the young man realized that the Elder before him was no ordinary person. He gave a professional smile and said:

"Welcome, senior. Are you here to buy or sell?"

Zhang Xuanchen glanced at the young man and said in a low voice:

"I've come here neither to buy nor to sell, but to have something I wish to have your esteemed establishment auction on my behalf."

Upon hearing this, the young man frowned slightly. "Auction?"

Senior, as you know, the situation is extremely tense right now, and everyone in all factions is on edge.

The timing of this Auction was impeccable, attracting elders, young masters, and ladies from many powerful factions.

Firstly, it was to relax, and secondly, it was to take the opportunity to auction off some good items to enhance their strength and better protect themselves.

Furthermore, the items to Auction have already been decided, and the senior intends to auction off his treasured possessions.

You need to reach the Third Stage rank to use it.

I wonder if you are a senior...

Zhang Xuanchen naturally understood his meaning, and immediately took out a Third-grade Mid-tier Golden Vein Body Tempering Peach, handing it to the Great Sage on his shoulder to eat.

At this moment, the Great Sage used his Divine Ability to make his fur more ordinary, no longer golden, but brown overall.

Her appearance has declined significantly.

To avoid being targeted by some Young Master or lady from a powerful Lineage who might try to force him into a sale, which would be a troublesome matter.

The Great Sage took the peach Zhang Xuanchen offered without hesitation and began to eat it.

The Golden Vein Body Tempering Fruit is not a rare item; anyone with a bit of knowledge recognizes it.

The young man before them was no exception.

"Golden Vein Body Tempering Peach!"

He chuckled and cried at the same time, seeing that such a precious treasure had been given directly to a monkey, and a look of heartache appeared on his face.

What a waste!

Wrong!

Damn it, this little monkey didn't explode and die after eating Third-grade Mid-tier Golden Vein Body Tempering Fruit, and it didn't even show any expression. Doesn't that mean...?

Third-rank Yao General!

Just as the young man was in shock, a hearty laugh rang out.

"Haha, fellow Daoist, please forgive my rudeness just now."

My surname is Wu, and my given name is Jinming.

He is the master of the Baojin Sword Pavilion.

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall, upright, and resolute-looking middle-aged man appeared before Zhang Xuanchen, his eyes filled with shock as he looked at the Great Sage.

His cultivation level Peak Golden Core Mid Stage. If this monkey demon could make him sense danger, it must be at least at the mid-stage of the Third Stage rank.

This Elder is no ordinary person; he managed to subdue such a monkey demon.

His smile immediately widened.

The situation is dire now; it's best not to offend such people.

Zhang Xuanchen waved his hand, and his aged voice rang out again. "It's alright. Am I now qualified to consign spiritual items for auction?"

The middle-aged man replied with a smile, "Of course, this way please, fellow Daoist."

"Little Wu, come here too. Help pour this senior a drink in a bit."

The young man nodded hurriedly. "Yes, Fourth Master... Sect Master."

And so, Zhang Xuanchen and the middle-aged man arrived at the private room on the third floor.

The structure is similar to Horizon Restaurant, and the environment is quite nice.

To entertain Zhang Xuanchen, Wu Jinming reluctantly brought out a pot of Third-grade Mid-tier Spirit Wine.

The young man next to them filled their glasses with wine.

Wu Jinming said, "Come, fellow Daoist, how does my Jade Dew Immortal Brew taste?"

However, Zhang Xuanchen did not move, but looked at Wu Jinming with a calm expression.

They were meeting for the first time, yet the other party offered them such precious Spirit Wine.

There's something they need help with.

He stared at him for a full three seconds before speaking, "Pavilion Master Wu, I don't like beating around the bush. Just say what you have to say."

If it's impossible to send the item for auction, that's fine too; I certainly won't cause any trouble for Pavilion Master Wu.

Upon hearing this, Wu Jinming hurriedly said, "Fellow Daoist, please don't be offended."

Well, to be honest, I do have a favor to ask.

"But there's no rush. Let's talk about the consignment auction first. Maybe there's something Mr. Wu wants. What do you think?"

Zhang Xuanchen nodded, then waved his hand.

Ten rectangular wooden boxes appeared on the table.

The first five wooden boxes each contained five Third-grade Mid-tier spirit peaches.

They consist of three boxes of Golden Vein Body Tempering Peach, one box of Dew Radiance Vein Nourishing Peach, and one box of Crimson Flame Heart Burning Peach.

The last five boxes also contained five items, but they were only of the Third Stage low-grade quality.

There are only two varieties: three boxes of Spirit Stream Peach and two boxes of Danxia Peach.

These spirit peaches are relatively common among Third Stage spiritual items. Although they are precious, taking them out will not lead to death. After all, in the eyes of the other party, he is a mysterious Golden Core cultivator with a Third Stage monkey demon by his side.

Unless Wu Jinming is an idiot, he wouldn't consider attacking me.

Wu Jinming looked at the ten boxes of spirit peaches on the table. Although he was shocked, a hint of disappointment was clearly visible in his eyes.

But he didn't show it at this moment, and laughed:

"Fellow Daoist, your methods are indeed extraordinary, managing to obtain so many high-grade spirit peaches."

Wu admired him.

"These Third-grade Mid-tier spirit peaches are worth at least 700 Mid-grade Spirit Stone each at this time, while Third Stage- tier spirit peaches are worth at least 400 Mid-grade Spirit Stone each."

Of course, this is just a conservative estimate; the actual price at Auction be much higher.

Mr. Wu once again congratulated the fellow Daoist on his fortune in advance.

After this Auction, Zhang Xuanchen will have at least 27,500 Mid-grade Spirit Stone in his pocket.

If it were a lower-grade item, that would be over 2.7 million.

This is roughly equivalent to the Zhang Family's net income over the past five years.

This is a considerable fortune for a Golden Core cultivator.

That's why he only took out this much; any more than that would be beyond his ability to protect.

If it weren't for Little Gold and Little Peach, even fewer would have been sold.

Hearing Wu Jinming's calculations, Zhang Xuanchen was excited, but his face remained expressionless.

He said calmly, "It's alright, Pavilion Master Wu. Did you perhaps ask for a Spirit Fruit that matches your own attributes?"

Thus, can one break through to the Late Golden Core?

Upon hearing this, Wu Jinming was taken aback, inwardly marveling at Zhang Xuanchen's profound cultivation.

If someone can discern one's own cultivation level, then their strength is at least at the Late Golden Core, or even higher!

Yes.

How could someone with only Early Golden Core cultivation remain so calm about over 27,000 Mid-grade Spirit Stone?

This is someone you absolutely must not provoke.

He immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute and said, "Fellow Daoist's cultivation is profound; I admire it."

As you probably know, the Nine Splendor Sword Sect is currently divided into two factions: one led by Xia Xiangtian and the other by the Young Sect Master Zhou Tianjian.

The two factions were already irreconcilable enemies.

If it weren't for the threat of the Soul Devouring Cult, my Nine Splendor Sword Sect would have long been plunged into internal strife.

I come from the Wu Family and am Zhou Tianjian's uncle, so I have always wanted to break through to the Late Golden Core to better help Tian Jian compete for the position of Sect Leader.

Unfortunately, his talent was limited, and he remained stuck at the Golden Core Mid Stage for a full fifty years without any sign of breaking through.

Therefore, I would like to request a Third-grade Top-tier Earth Attribute spirit peach from you.

I'm willing to pay double the Spirit Stone!

Please grant my request, fellow Daoist!

As he spoke, he stood up and bowed to Zhang Xuanchen with clasped hands.

This shows how eager he is to improve.

It's no secret that the Nine Splendor Sword Sect is divided into two factions; almost everyone knows it now, and there's nothing that can't be said.
