Reforging the Ten Thousand Poison Banner

Over those three days, quite a few rare treasures appeared, but neither Li Yunjing nor Zhao Qi bid again.

Ordinary treasures failed to catch either Li Yunjing's or Zhao Qi's eye.

The ones they did fancy attracted competition from Nascent Soul Realm and Golden Core Realm cultivators.

As a result, all they secured in three days was a single White Jade Ginseng!

On the fourth day, Li Yunjing and Zhao Qi sat in their private box, calmly watching the fierce bidding below.

The cultivators fought over one rare treasure after another until their faces flushed, and some exchanges already carried a faint whiff of gunpowder.

"These people really are putting their lives on the line!"

Zhao Qi spoke softly, a trace of admiration in her voice.

"They have no choice!"

Li Yunjing smiled faintly, sweeping his gaze over the cultivators locked in bitter competition. "What they need can only be encountered by chance, not sought at will. When the opportunity comes, how could they not fight desperately for it? They might not live long enough to see it appear again."

"Yes!"

Zhao Qi nodded. That was how the cultivation world worked. If an opportunity came and they failed to seize it, once it slipped away, it might never return.

A person only encountered so many opportunities in a lifetime.

If they failed to seize every opportunity that came their way, they were done for.

Cultivators lived longer than mortals, but even their lifespans eventually ran out.

Some treasures that caught the cultivators' eyes in the auction hall could improve their cultivation, help them break through, and grant them many more years of life.

Win the bidding, and they had a future.

Lose, and once they returned home, they might never encounter that item again.

That was little different from waiting
