President Huang announced a break.
And offered hot tea made with the provided Health Care Tea Bags for the guests.
Although the attendees were either rich or noble, the supply of tea bags was limited. Moreover, many who had initially been skeptical missed the opportunity to try them, including some who were tasting this kind of tea for the first time.
After drinking the tea, they all had a revelation, realizing the exceptional nature of these teas.
All guests, regardless of whether they had tasted it before, became keener on buying these tea bags to drink regularly.
President Huang returned to the stage with a smile.
“Ahem, ahem, next, we will present a very special item,” he said.
“This item may not be very useful to ordinary people,”
As he said this, President Huang swept his gaze over the crowd, pausing at the faces of Kamo Junichiro and the head of the Phosphor Church.
He then took out a small wooden box.
After opening the box, he retrieved a slender Jade Scroll.
“This is an Inheritance Jade Scroll from the Southern Desolate region.”
“It doesn’t relate to a Cultivation Technique. It seems to be a collection of miscellaneous knowledge about a cultivator’s life,” he explained.
President Huang stated this as he raised one finger, announcing a low starting bid.
Soon, the auction became lively again.
Even if it wasn’t related to a Transcendent Cultivation Method, having additional insight into the lifestyles of Transcendents was extremely valuable.
All factions present showed great interest.
However, as Kamo Junichiro stood up abruptly and called out a high bid,
The venue once again fell silent.
Many calculated the pros and cons of offending a Transcendent versus acquiring the Jade Scroll and weighed the steep price, choosing ultimately to withdraw.
Then, Kamo Junichiro obtained the scroll,
Which was delivered to him on the spot by President Huang.
Kamo Junichiro, who had been confined in a small black room within the Pot Cave Heaven,
Was very eager to understand the true world of Transcendents.
However, as he tightly grasped the Jade Scroll and channeled mana into it,
The Onmyoji couldn’t help but feel slightly startled.
He hadn’t expected the Inheritance Jade Scroll he purchased at a high price to contain information on over a hundred methods of cultivating Spirit Plants.
What value did these things hold for him now?
Wait, he thought. Could he possibly try cultivating the Resentment Flower and the Seven Sins Grass mentioned in this Spirit Plant Technique?
Kamo Junichiro carefully reviewed the scroll and heaved a sigh of relief when he came across techniques regarded as belonging to non-righteous people.
It seemed he indeed had fate on his side and was a man of destiny!
His money wasn’t wasted on a useless object after all!
Kamo Junichiro returned to his seat, satisfied.
The auction continued.
After selling a portion of antiques, President Huang would auction some odd and mysterious items that seemed mystical,
Such as Seal Stones engraved with Heavenly Thunder, rejuvenating Pills, and jewelry that could improve health if worn for a long time.
As the auction neared its end,
President Huang thanked all the attendees for their patronage with a bow.
Then clapped his hands.
Suddenly, the lights above the factory dimmed and then brightened again, focusing on the stage.
President Huang said with a smile:
“Thank you all for coming to this forsaken place,”
“So we’ve decided to treat everyone to a simple meal!”
With that, attendants streamed in from the back door.
They set up plain wooden tables in front of the guests.
And distributed simple plates to everyone.
After a little while, with President Huang carefully opening a wooden barrel,
The entire venue was filled with an incredibly sweet aroma.
All the attendees, including Kamo Junichiro, felt their appetite surge and their stomachs started to growl.
Especially Kamo Junichiro, who, having endured a spiritless environment, instinctively drooled at the scent of Spirit Rice.
President Huang also secretly swallowed his saliva.
If not for the Rat Taoist’s instructions, he would have wished to devour the Spirit Rice himself.
Looking at the sparkling, translucent grains of rice,
President Huang took a deep breath of the aroma.
His hands moved in a blur, distributing portions of the Spirit Rice onto the plates in front of the guests.
The simple meal was indeed just a small mound of rice,
Barely enough for an adult to swallow in one bite.
Yet no one present questioned or felt annoyed.
Staring at the Spirit Rice they had never tasted before,
They all felt as if they were about to experience a rare and exquisitely delicious wonder of the world!
