Longevity: Starting from the Qi Tags

Then he quickly stored these five Five Elements Spirit Fruits in his storage ring, planning to consume them later when he returned.

Meanwhile, a new round of auction had already begun below.

Jiang Yuan silently waited for the subsequent auctions.

After acquiring the Five Elements Spirit Fruits, he no longer possessed the same confidence he started with.

If one were to calculate the cost of each Bodhi Fruit at 100,000 lower-grade spiritual stones, he knew he stood no chance of acquiring the Yin-and-Yang Xuan Jade.

After all, it was the final lot of the auction, ranked at 98. The price was bound to be high.

Yet this item was critical for him. At the moment, it was the best foundation for advancing to the Spiritual Sea Realm.

In his heart, he was determined to acquire it, no matter how much it cost.

At this point, he was considering selling the Boundary Stone to the Treasure Pavilion.

As for the half piece of the Spiritual Vein Jade Marrow, he would never sell it.

This would determine the speed of his breakthrough to the Spiritual Sea Realm.

Without this half piece of Spiritual Vein Jade Marrow, even two and a half years later, when his Qianyuan Kingdom faces the Horse Trampling Sect, he couldn’t ensure his own safety.

So for him, although the Boundary Stone’s real value was much higher than the Spiritual Vein Jade Marrow, the latter was more beneficial for him.

No matter how good or high-end the Boundary Stone was, he couldn’t use it at the moment to solve his urgent problem.

But the Spiritual Vein Jade Marrow was different. It was an urgent need.

At this moment, he came to this conclusion after a moment of pondering.

For now, it wasn’t urgent. He still had to see how much the Bodhi Fruit could be sold for later!

From the first half of the auction, he came to understand something.

Many top-level geniuses had come this time, hence the heavenly price for the Five Elements Spirit Fruits.

Ordinarily, an individual Five Elements Spirit Fruit would sell for 10,000 to 15,000.

But now, the average price of each Five Elements Spirit Fruit had soared to 26,600 lower-grade spiritual stones.

He paid 1,000 more than the baseline price. It was a truly expensive purchase.

So it was no wonder that the Treasure Pavilion decided to auction them in sets of five.

Comparing the effect of a single affinity physique with a Five Elements affinity physique, it was like comparing heaven and earth.

Auctioning them in sets of five naturally inflated the price.

Observing the increasingly precious items below, Jiang Yuan was tempted a few times.

But considering his meagre funds, he suppressed his desire.

These top-level geniuses all had the backing of Sect Resources.

That’s why they were so wealthy.

Take the Supreme Mystery Sect for example, they possessed three mining veins of lower-grade spiritual stones within their territory.

The spiritual stones mined in a year were counted in tens of thousands, at least more than 10,000 lower-grade spiritual stones.

If they invested these years’ savings on cultivating a single genius, they could at least provide a million lower-grade spiritual stones for usage.

This was just a first-class immortal sect. Those superior immortal sects were even more incomparable.

Their resource accumulation was at least several times more than the Supreme Mystery Sect.

So Jiang Yuan understood that his wealth could never compete with those who had the solid backing of an entire sect.

The Supreme Mystery Sect was divided into seven veins at its inception, which inherently prevented the sect from forming a unified front.

However, for Lu Qingshan and Kong Nian, Jiang Yuan was still very grateful.

Like Lu Qingshan, who presented him with two high-grade Qi Sea Pills and 50,000 lower-grade spiritual stones before he came to Yunxiao City.

Including the value of the Qi Sea Pills, he had given away nearly 90,000 lower-grade spiritual stones.

Bear in mind, even though he was the Sect Leader of the Supreme Mystery Sect, he was also the Chief of Heaven Lead Peak, one of the seven veins of the Supreme Mystery Sect.

He couldn’t arbitrarily allocate the resources of the Sect.

Given that he had to manage the Heaven Lead Peak, his annual expenses were astronomical.

90,000 lower-grade spiritual stones, even for him, was a significant amount of resources.
