Zhihao for a very long time became dazed, reading the descriptions that had popped up in front of his eyes.

'If I fail, I'll revert back to being a normal human? Wait! How can a human become a cultivator anyway? Will I be able to strengthen myself again? What kind of system are you! You are just dragging me down to the bottom of a pit!'

Thinking like that Zhihao became pale, would he needed to buy it and unseal it, even if he has to spend everything he has, a World ruled by the Strong, and you as a Mortal would be a definite death trap, sinking in his thought, Zhihao is suddenly woken up by the noise coming from the Auctioneer.

"Ok, we should start the auction with this rotten wood, so give it your best to help your normal fellow become a cultivator, or you can use it yourselves, the starting price is 20silvers!"

Auctioneer Lu tried to describe the items characteristics to draw some attention, but seeing everyone's reaction, he sighed as he nodded his head and waited for a few more seconds.

After a few seconds, Auctioneer Lu looked at the crowd anticipating even for a bit that someone would actually bid, but sadly no one offered, since its 20 silvers, its worth is more than for some people's whole month of salary, almost everyone in the public lounge only has a basic salary of 8 to 10 silvers a month, why should they spend it to buy something that is weak and uncertain to help them or their friends to breakthrough and become a cultivator. a lot of people only came here to see the bidding war of the rich people, just an entertainment for them once a month.

Auctioneer Lu was about to withdraw the Rotten Wood, but out of nowhere, someone from the Private lounge spoke in a joking manner as he said.

Room # 1: "Hahaha I`ll just bid I can help a concubine of mine to become a cultivator, maybe I can have a longer 'happy time' hahaha Auctioneer Lu, 25 silvers!"

Getting a good idea of what the guy in room #1 is having, a lot of people inside the Private Rooms also smirked as someone replied.

Room #8: "That fellow Cultivator surely gave me a good idea, since it's like this I`ll also bid, 101 silvers! "

Room # 1: "For a concubine, you`ll spend 101 silver? hahaha, I`ll pass with that then, you can have it, fellow Cultivator."

Room # 2: "Who said you are the only two that's interested in getting a longer "happy time" I'm in too hahaha, 105 silver"

Then Zhihao became shocked, he thought inside 'these stupid people will waste such a sacred treasure for their concubines! this is very upsetting!'  then he suddenly shouted: "10GOLD!"

Everyone looked at the VIP Lounge like looking at a person that has a screw loose in his brain, spending a lot of money to buy a trash like this.  

As everyone wondered, someone from the other VIP lounge also shouted.

A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

"15 gold!"

It was Shen Rong, he snickered as he glanced at the VIP lounge where Zhihao is staying with some thoughts in his head.

'Hahaha, it is not like 15 gold coins is a lot of money, well I still got a lot left after buying this, I`ll just throw it to a random maid in my clan, I guess its a kind of...' while Shen Rong was still thinking, he heard another shout, the shout came from Zhihao!

"50 GOLD!".

The smile in Shen Rong face got vanished as he frowned, he looked at Zhihao's room as he spoke.

"Hahaha, right, right, it's Young Master Zhong after all, Having Lady Ning and also considering a cultivation Mistress, I guess you have a lot of energy every night, a Young Master that only knows how to spend a lot of gold, hahaha trying to show off in front of your Lady is good once in a while, but at the very least, you should hide your lust away from your wife, hahaha spending 50 gold coins to get another 'Happy time' after Miss Ling, I concede defeat in thi....." Yet, before he could finish his words, Shen Rong was interrupted with a voice that came from Zhihao's room was heard.

Glaring at Shen Rong, Zhihao rebuked.

"Stupid brat, if you can't bid anymore, you should just shut it and let other people bid, stay in that corner of yours and stop talking, you stupid kid. if you don't even have money to buy something like a trash, then don't bother other people doing so."

Zhihao sneered as he glared at Shen Rong, he is in a really bad mood right now, if he can't get it, everything that the previous owner of his body worked hard for would be gone, and he'll have to start again.

Hearing Shen Rong's words, Ning'er frowned as she looked at Zhihao's face, If Zhihao isn't guilty about it, he should just casually brush it off, but Ning'er felt something is there, even though the both of them haven't spent much time, Ning'er seemed to understand Zhihao better.

But what happened caused her to ponder for a bit, but there's this feeling that Zhihao wouldn't do something as lustful as that.

Ning'er looked at Zhihao without saying anything, just looking at him, waiting for the action he would take next.

Shen Rong became enraged, but he has to concede defeat, it's only a trash why bother spending some gold coins for it, Shen Rong then guessed something random as he thought.

'Maybe this Zhong kid is trying to lure me into bidding a lot then concedes defeat. HMMP! I'm not stupid enough to fall for something as childish as that.'

After a few more seconds, Auctioneer Lu finally regained his calm, this piece of stupid rotten branch got lucky to get a bidding price of 50 gold, it's really great when young masters are fighting to show off their wealth. Auctioneer Lu smiled as he thought.

'Just my lucky day.'

Auctioneer Lu finally breathe in, as he slowly said: "50 GOLD COINS! anyone else? going once! going twice! DEAL!"

Auctioneer Lu handed the item to be delivered and checked out by the customer in the VIP lounge as soon as possible.

All types of commotion started in the public stand.

"It's really great to be a Young Master, being able to show off, and waste money like its nothing"

"You tell me, it's not like all young Masters are like that, look at the other one, he's been stoned, not all young Masters are like that."

"It's great to be a Young Master, a son of a great clan "

"If I could marry my daughter to that kind of Young Master I'd be scot free of worry, I don't even need to work just giving me 50 gold coins would be set for me my whole life!"

"Old man keep dreaming, with that kind of ugly daughter of yours, I`d wonder if she would even have a husband, hahaha"

"Hahahaha"

"Nyahaha"

"BWAHAHAHA"

All kinds of laughter were heard that time, as a way for themselves to pass time.

When the item was brought to Zhihao, he opened the box as he received another notification.

*Ding!*

=Notification

Quest Completion 50%!

Next step:

-to unseal this treasure, the host needs to give 10 drops of blood for it to regrow itself in complete form.

After hearing this Zhihao directly drew a dagger out of his Interspatial Ring preparing to poke a wound in his finger. but there was a voice that called him preventing him from doing what he was going to do.

Ning'er stared at him as she held Zhihao's hand which is holding a dagger, in a very concerned and panicked manner.

"What are you doing? Are you thinking of committing suicide? Are you feeling guilty towards what that Shen family brat had said? What he said, is that real? you should reconsider this! I`ll hear your explanation, if it is acceptable, maybe I`ll agree, so don't you think of making me a widow before I even get married!"

After hearing Ning'er dramatic flare, Zhihao laughed out loud as he spoke.

"HAHAHAHAHA, I seriously struck rich with this wife of mine."

Ning'er frowned as she looked at Zhihao in a bewildered manner.

Zhihao chuckled as he looked at Ning'er and continued: "I'm not really thinking of suicide, it is just that I need to rejuvenate this fella."

Zhihao pointed at the box with the Dark Willow branch as he continued.

"This here, is no trash, I could use it to cultivate, This is a big treasure, one that can help the both of us in cultivating, it is not a junk, after I make a pill out of this, the pill can help us cultivate 5 times or even 6 times faster with half the effort, do you finally understand it?"

Hearing what Zhihao had said, Ning'er immediately blushed, she glaringly looked at Zhihao and spoke: "If that's what you would do, you should've at least told me first! Urg! Misleading people so much, you sure have a lot of free time!"

After pondering for a bit, Ning'er added.

"You should keep it for now, and try doing it later, this place is too open, so hold on for until we return to the Zhong Clan estate, maybe there are more things like that. such good fortune even my entire clan would definitely not be able to afford it, such a lucky fellow you are."

Ning'er although didn't show it, is actually very happy right now, she thought that Zhihao had bought it for another female, she smiled as she felt reassured, for now.

Zhihao finally had his turn to laugh softly as he spoke: "Aren't you my wife? I'm sharing this with you, so no need to feel envy towards it, what's mine is yours and what's yours is mine, right? it's like my body is yours to use while your body is mine to use too"

Ning'er felt speechless, unable to rebuke what he had said since everything is true once the both of them get married, she just sighed as she sat beside Zhihao continuing to watch the Auction.

Ning'er looked at Zhihao as she thought "I`ll get my revenge sooner or later"

Then after speaking, Ning'er placed her hands on her undeveloped chest as she pouted and looked at the other way.
