Chapter 57 Strange Girl! Treasure Giving Grandpa

57 Strange Girl! Treasure Giving Grandpa

The price kept rising as the bidding war became fierce. Mu Qinglian sighed as she shook her head. " Too bad, The financial condition of Four Seasons Valley isn't good,"

" Well, Actually, How much money do you think we have in our treasury?" Long Ming asked in a curious voice.

" Around one million High grade Spirit stones?"

Long Ming almost spat out when he heard that as his hair stood on its end. ' Fuck, When I asked one million high grade spirit stones to Xia Yuqing, did she hand all the money of the treasury to me?'

' Holy shit! Thank god I didn't became greedy and took it away.' Long Ming sighed as he saw the price reached one hundred million mid grade spirit stones.

" One hundred Million Mid grade spirit stones! And the Azure Mirthil goes to... Ancient Jiang Family!"

" Hmm, With one kg of Azure Mirthil, They can probably make tens of high-quality weapons. I wish I could get that." Mu Qinglian sighed. Long Ming couldn't help but chuckle.

" Well, I am sure heavens never blocks all the way. Who knows? You might get some of that?"

After that, A Noble Grade weapon appeared on the auction stage. " This is a Noble grade weapon, The Scarlet Demon Axe. As you can see, It also contains the intent of Scarlet Demonblaze Fire."

" The bid starts from 50 Million Spirit stones!"

" 60 Million!"

" 80 Million!"

Long Ming narrowed his gaze as he looked at the axe on the stage. It was completely crimson, with dark vein patterns giving a sinister glint. " Senior Sister, Among the Scarlet Demonblaze Intent and the Supreme Intent of the Golden Page we got, What is more precious?"

" Well, If we are talking about firepower, the Scarket Demonblaze Intent is powerful. However, If you wish to comprehend the dao and increase your cultivation, our golden page is much more precious."

Long Ming got up as he looked at Luo Yingying and Mu Qinglian. " Let's go back."

" Huh? But the auction's finale is still remaining. I wish to see the final treasure." Luo Yingying pouted.

Long Ming sighed. " Don't you understand? For a poor man, cherishing a jade is a crime. What do you think will happen if we get besieged by people who might covet the golden page?"

" This..."

Both Mu Qinglian and Luo Yingying were startled. Long Ming waved his hands. " You two should leave right now. I will be roaming outside to distract them."

" Alright. But be safe and don't do anything reckless." Mu Qinglian held Luo Yingying as they walked out. Long Ming gave one last glance to teh auction as he also left.

As Long Ming told them, Luo Yingying and Mu Qinglian didn't use the usual flying carriage. Instead, they took a different route. As Long Ming was walking outside, someone called me.

" Aha! I finally found you, Brother Long!"

Long Ming turned around and realized it was Ling Yuan of Six Sword Pavilion.

" Haha, I guess I delayed regarding the painting, eh?" Long Ming unfolded his paper fan as he gave a light chuckle.

" Of course. Do you know how much I tried to find you? I almost thought ran away." Ling Yuan laughed loudly as his voice turned low.

" So, Did you make it?"

Long Ming grinned as he handed four scrolls to Ling Yuan. " Quality is guaranteed.

Ling Yuan barely opened the first scroll, but he hurriedly threw it into his spatial ring.

" Brother Long, Tell me the truth. Are you secretly a painting saint?"

Long Ming laughed as he waved his paper fan. " What do you think?"

"I believe so."

" Then I have nothing to say."

" Haha! Good!" Ling Yuan laughed as he placed his arm on the shoulder of Long Ming. " But to think Four Seasons Valley will get a Supreme Intent left behind by an Ancient Lord realm cultivator. I am really envious."

" Fate, Brother Ling. Everything got its own fate." Long Ming chuckled as he and Ling Yuan strolled for a while.

" Alright, I have to leave now. But Brother Long, You must remind me if you create some painting next time. I will definitely purchase it." Ling Yuan gave a serious look before he walked away.

' Hmm, I guess I should start getting some AP. I can't just sit one month and let the Max Level Affection System go to waste.' Long Ming pondered.

However, As he was walking, he suddenly paused his steps as he saw a woman wearing a violet dress.

She wore a long silky skrit, with her arms covered by a thin violet netting. Her silky black stockings outlined her lean and flawless legs. The violet veil hid her face, but her gem like eyes can easily hook someone's soul.

She suddenly stood before Long Ming as she gazed at him. Long Ming's eyes narrowed as he recognized her.

" Ah, Perhaps you are the winner of the Flower Boat Festival Solo Competition?" Long Mings spoke first.

" As expected of the man behind Eternal Spring Tower's success. I greet Young Noble Long Ming."

Long Ming's Heavenly Revelation Eyes flashed as he glanced at her. Her veil was a spiritual treasure that can easily block powerful divine senses. However, Long Ming's Heavenly Revelation Eyes could see through it.

" Hmm? Young Noble, It's not proper to gaze at a young lady like that."

Suddenly, Long Ming's eyes flashed as he suddenly saw an apparition of an azure qilin appearing behind that girl. The Azure Qilin roared as it protected the aura of that girl.

Long Ming retracted his Heavenly Revelation Eyes, but his expression didn't change. " Indeed, It's my fault. Hmm, I wonder how should I compensate this young lady?"

" Oh, I wonder too. How about accompanying me for a drink?"

Long Ming was about to agree, but suddenly he noticed something.

' Strange... I am not getting any AP at all.'

No matter what, if a girl shows the slightest hint of appreciation toward Long Ming, he will get 1 AP. However, he wasn't getting anything at this moment.

" How unfortunate, But I am in a bit of a hurry." Long Ming smiled. " But, I would like to hear this miss's name. I guess you are from the Ancient Jiang Family?"

The girl was startled a bit as she looked at Long Ming. " Jiang Wanxue. My name is Jiang Wanxue."

" Like a Snowy River, pure and untainted." Long Ming grinned. " Although I don't have much to give, Please keep this as a gift."

Long Ming handed a scroll to Jiang Wanxue. When she opened it, her eyes were surprised.

It was a poem written in beautiful calligraphy. A poem Long Ming wrote in his free time during his stay in Eternal Spring Tower. He realized the more he practice his artistic skills, the more they became closer to the grand dao.

Purple sleeves, red strings, during a bright moon.

In the dark, playing alone, bowing my head.

Strings cease, fingers rest, and all sound stops.

Having deep feelings, ten thousand times over, repeat.

The words were written beautifully as one could see the illusion of a peaceful night. The gentle breeze blew as the woman folded the scroll.

" I will appreciate this gift." She spoke with a light smile.

Long Ming cupped his fist as he turned to leave. However, he couldn't help but wonder about Jiang Wanxue.

' How strange, If I had given that calligraphy to someone else, that girl would have already felt joyous. However, I couldn't get a single AP from Jiang Wanxue, Just how firm her heart is?'

' Not to mention, Azure Qiling is protecting her fate, but I can guess she already reached the Primordial Spirit Unification Realm. Azure Qilin... Could it be...'

Long Ming felt some suspicion, but he shook his head. He would rather discuss with Mu Qinglian than reach on conclusion.

As Long Ming left, Jiang Wanxue's smile faded. An old man appeared behind her side as he stroked his beard.

" Such a poem. The calligraphy already reached the realm of visualization. It's hard to find someone so scholarly at his caliber at such young age."

Jiang Wanxue's expression didn't change. " What about his cultivation?"

" Immeasurable. Like a pebble dropped in a deep ocean, I couldn't find anything." The old man sighed. " But his aura... It was as if he was bathing in the dao of heaven and earth itself."

Jiang Wanxue turned around as she held the scroll.

" In the end, the emperor's road is paved with blood and bones. Everyone is nothing more than a tool."

The old man sighed as he shook his head.

After strolling for a while, Long Ming finally sighed. As he was about to leave, his eyes fell on a rusty sword being sold by one of the vendors.

The old man sat there silently as a lot of ragtag items scattered before him. Long Ming walked to that place as he held the rusty sword.

" What is this?"

" Something found in a Heavenly Emperor's Inheritance Palace."

" Must be precious, no?"

" Indeed."

" How much?"

The old man shrugged. " I don't know. I don't need money, to be honest. If you have some unusual item, You can show it to me."

Long Ming pondered as he took out a jade cup and his Heavenly Urn of Frozen Flames. With a gentle shake, he poured a cup of wine and handed it to the old man.

The moment wine fell in the cup, one could see the colorful lights danced around it. A light gust of wind blew as a fragrance of flowers spread. The old man raised his eyebrows as he held the cup and took a sip.

" Ten Jugs of wine and it will be yours."

" Three."

" Five!"

" Done!"

Long Ming grinned as he took the rustic sword. The old man finished the cup as he smacked his lips.

" Which sect do you belong to?"

" Four Seasons Valley."

" Tsk, Even after a thousand years, their fortune hasn't rotten away." The old man laughed as he took out something.

" Take this. This is a bottle of Spirit Awakening Great Pill."

Long Ming caught that bottle as his expression changed. " I... I will be grateful to the senior for this generosity."

Saying that, his Raging Storm Wings flapped as he disappeared from his place. Long Ming became a streak across the sky as he went to the Four Seasons Valley.

The old man sighed as he saw five jars of wine before him.

" What an interesting guy."

Wait, Does anyone remember the chapter I wrote about the classification of Treasures? Like True Grade and Xuan grade? I can't find it REEEEEEEEE
