Chapter 157: Chapter 126: Yin and Yang Parent-Child Sword, Five Elements Spirit Fruit!_2
Translator: 549690339
A long sword twisted in black and white lay leisurely in its sheath.
The sword wasn’t long, just a little over five feet.
It was this length because it was a dharma tool, not a divine weapon.
Black and white mists trailed around the blade, a spectacle that represented the unique material of the sword— it was unquestionably imbued with yin and yang essence.
Upon inspecting the entirety of this Yin-Yang sword, Jiang Yuan felt quite satisfied.
With this sword in hand, his combat techniques would become more diverse.
He then squeezed out a drop of blood infused with minute pieces of golden particles from his fingertip and immersed it into the body of the sword.
Instantly, the sword felt like an extension of his own flesh and blood.
With a flicker of his mind, the Yin-Yang sword gently floated into the air.
There was a faint feeling of unfamiliarity.
After a minor test, Jiang Yuan returned the sword back into its sheath.
To wield it more proficiently, he still needed to refine the six prohibitions with his divine soul. Only once all the prohibitions were refined, would the sword reveal its true power.
At this point, the auction below had reached item number 48.
Jiang Yuan turned his attention away from the Yin-Yang sword he had just won and patiently awaited the arrival of the Five Elements Spirit Fruit.
Time slowly passed.
Half a moment later.
Lin Meier announced, “The next item up for bid will draw the interest of many. I’m sure everyone here already knows the next five auction items!”
Having said that.
“Clap! Clap! Clap!”
She clapped her hands.
Ten maids, each in long floor-length gowns, strolled gracefully from the backstage, a tray in their hands.
Once on the center stage, the trays were placed on the presentation table.
They then slowly receded into the backstage.
Lin Meier immediately lifted the red cloth that covered the items.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, take a look. These are ten batches of Five Elements Spirit Fruits; Flame Spirit Fruit, Mysterious Water Spirit Fruit, Absolute Gold Spirit Fruit, Azure Wood Spirit Fruit, and Mountain Earth Spirit Fruit.”
“I believe everyone present should be well aware of the effects of these five spirit fruits!”
“Any of these spirit fruits can trigger an affinity for one of the Five Elements within you.”
“However, if you consume all five spirit fruits simultaneously, you can gain affinity for all Five Elements, with the effects amplified. The Five Elements will merge and cycle eternally within you!”
“Additionally, the Five Elements energy contained in these spirit fruits can help the heavenly geniuses among you stabilize the mini universe within your bodies when breaking through to the Spiritual Sea Realm. It’s a superb foundational spirit item!”
“Therefore, each auction lot contains five spirit fruits, ten lots in total. The starting bid is 80,000 with each successive bid increasing by a minimum of 1,000. Let the bidding begin!”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan’s eyes focused, mildly surprised.
That expensive?
The starting price is equivalent to 16,000 inferior spiritual stones per fruit.
What would the final price be?
Do I even have enough spiritual stones?
He began to doubt.
Just then, someone below said, “Miss Lin, can’t you auction them separately? I only need the Azure Wood Spirit Fruit and Absolute Gold Spirit Fruit, and don’t need the other three!”
Lin Meier covered her mouth and chuckled lightly, “My dear sir, I’m afraid not! These are the rules set by the Pavilion Master. I’m afraid I have no say in the matter!”
At this moment, Jiang Yuan penned a bid of 90,000 inferior spiritual stones on his crystal screen.
After a while.
Lin Meier softly voiced, “The current bid for the tenth place is 100,000 inferior spiritual stones. Do hurry if you wish to bid! If there are no higher bids in ten beats, the bidding will end!”
“If you miss this excellent opportunity, you might find it next to impossible to gather all five of the Five Elements Spirit Fruit!”
“This is the first time in nearly five years that all five of the Five Elements Spirit Fruits are being auctioned together!”
Jiang Yuan couldn’t hesitate any longer and entered a higher bid of 110,000.
However, as the competition raged on, the last bid spiraled to 130,000 rapidly.
By this point, Jiang Yuan realized that to secure one batch of the Five Elements Spirit Fruit, he would have to bleed quite heavily.
Luckily, he still had two Bodhi fruits to auction later. Otherwise, he wouldn’t even afford this with the spiritual stones he had.
He felt somewhat relieved in his mind.
Thus, he continued to enter higher bids.
After a while.
Lin Meier announced, “The final bids for each batch of the Five Elements Spirit Fruits are 133,000 inferior spiritual stones. Congratulations to all winners! Please allow me to remind everyone to find a quiet place to consume the Five Elements Spirit Fruits. The transformation of one’s constitution takes a bit of time and must not be disrupted!”
Upon hearing her final announcement, Jiang Yuan sighed in relief.
His bid was just 1,000 higher than the base price. If the closing price continued to escalate, he would have stumbled a bit.
After a while, there was a knock at the door.
“Enter!” Suppressing his excitement, Jiang Yuan replied flatly.
The maid who carried the tray presented herself before Jiang Yuan, “Young Master Jiang, the Five Elements Spirit Fruits are here! Would you like to pay now or deduct it from the proceeds of your forthcoming auction?”
“Deduct it later!” Jiang Yuan answered.
“Alright!” The maid nodded.
Setting the tray on the table, she gradually exited the room.
Jiang Yuan lifted the red cloth, revealing five jade boxes. These special jade boxes had the property to best preserve the effects of heavenly treasures.
He opened the boxes and saw each of the five spirit fruits with faint mists of the Five Elements emerging from them.
The Flame Spirit Fruit was red.
The Mysterious Water Spirit Fruit was black.
The Absolute Gold Spirit Fruit was white.
The Azure Wood Spirit Fruit was green.
The Mountain Earth Spirit Fruit was yellow.
At a glance, he confirmed that these Five Elements Spirit Fruits were genuine.
