Tang Xiao’s clone nodded to him. "I have so ingredients for concocting a type of pill using the Purple Yang Flower as the base ingredient. It would be extrely useful for and my two wives, so I’d like to obtain that flower to concoct it."
"Alright." Feng Shen raised the board in his hand. "Eleven million gold coins for the Purple Yang Flower."
Almost all the cultivators in the VIP rooms looked toward Feng Shen’s VIP room, and their expressions showed their surprise at his decision to bid on the Purple Yang Flower. Many of them wanted to obtain that flower, but their abilities were limited because they did not have alchemists like the Feng and Huang Clans, and they would waste a lot of money if they wanted to concoct a pill from that flower.
Huang Xiaotian and Huang Xianyu were also surprised by Feng Shen’s decision because their Huang Clan didn’t have the complentary ingredients to concoct pills from the Purple Yang Flower, so they didn’t try to bid for the flower, even though they really wanted to get it.
Huang Xiaotian and Huang Xianyu believed that the Feng Clan might possess the necessary ingredients, but they were unaware that the two clan leaders were also taken aback by Feng Shen’s decision, particularly because their own clan lacked the ingredients needed to concoct the pill from the flower base.
After waiting for so ti and no further bidders, the woman announced the winner. "The Purple Yang Flower was sold to Senior Feng Shen for eleven million gold coins."
Another woman flew to the front of Feng Shen’s VIP room and handed him the Purple Yang Flower, and he imdiately paid eleven million gold coins for it.
After he received the Purple Yang Flower, Feng Shen returned to his chair and gave it to Tang Xiao’s clone, who was overjoyed to get it at the initial auction price.
The cultivators occupying the VIP rooms in front of Feng Shen’s room were shocked to see him handing the flower to Tang Xiao’s clone, and so considered snatching it from him, particularly those from the Xiao and Jiang Clans. However, they threw that crazy idea out of their minds because they didn’t want to have problems with the Feng Clan, especially since they were much stronger than their clans.
Huang Xiaotian and Huang Xianyu also noticed it from their room, and they wondered in their hearts about Tang Xiao’s clone’s purpose, especially about his closeness to the Feng Clan. However, they ignored that and focused their gaze on the auction platform, waiting for the third item that was about to be auctioned.
Tang Xiao’s clone stored the Purple Yang Flower in his storage ring. "Thank you, Senior Feng."
"Yeah." Feng Shen spoke to him directly. "If there are any other items that interest you, you can tell directly, and I will bid on them for you. If their prices are too high, I probably won’t be able to bid on them because I don’t have that many gold coins."
"Okay." Tang Xiao’s clone thought of a way to take the gold coins in the treasury vault. ’Can you send those gold coins to , Xiao Ai?’
[Master, those people will be suspicious if I appear beside you, mainly because my body is an android body that doesn’t cultivate like you all. However, I can use another way to send the gold coins to you, and I will collect them now before sending them to you.]
’Alright.’
The woman on the auction platform imdiately took out another item, which was also a flower with five different colored leaves. All the cultivators who saw the flower stood up from their seats with expressions full of shock, and they looked eager to get it, including Feng Shen.
"What kind of flower is that, Senior Feng? What effect does it have?"
Feng Shen turned to Tang Xiao’s clone and spoke to him. "That flower is the Origin Elental Flower, which blooms once every two hundred years. The bloom of the flower doesn’t last long, and it will wilt again if no one picks it. If we swallow that flower, our elent will increase several levels depending on our luck, so its price is expensive. However, we can only swallow it once, so it would be a waste to buy two. Two hundred years ago, Long Yin acquired it for three hundred million gold coins, and the competition at that ti was fierce, with Wang Fuxi as his main competitor."
"Three hundred million gold coins, huh?" Tang Xiao’s clone’s eyes were glued to the flower, and he was eager to compete with those cultivators for the Origin Elental Flower because he possessed six elents, the majority of which were level one.
"Since the guests already know the effects of this flower, I won’t explain it at length to all of you. This Origin Elental Flower has a starting price of three hundred million gold coins, and the bidding is in multiples of thirty million."
The faces of the cultivators present darkened upon hearing the price of the Origin Elental Flower, especially since the starting price mirrored the price the flower had been sold for two hundred years ago.
Even cultivators from the first-grade clans had to think twice about getting the Origin Elental Flower, let alone those from second-grade clans.
They wanted the flower to raise the level of their elents, but they thought that the price was too unreasonable, mainly because the effect was uncertain and required high luck.
If they were lucky, their elent could rise several levels at once, but it would only rise one level if they were unlucky, which made them reconsider getting that flower.

Feng Shen sat back in his chair and let out a heavy sigh. "Whoever got that flower to sell at this auction is truly greedy, and I doubt it will sell this ti. Increasing our elent level is indeed difficult, but the price of the flower is not comnsurate with the resulting increase. If we are lucky, our elent levels will increase several levels at once, but our elent levels will only increase by one if we are unlucky like Long Yin."
"Oh?" Tang Xiao’s clone turned to him. "Is there any other way to increase the effect of the flower?"
"No." Feng Shen shook his head. "Before Long Yin swallowed that flower in the past, he had already brought it to the Huang and Feng Clans to increase its effects. However, none of us managed to do so, so he ended up swallowing it directly, and his elent only increased by one level to level 9. That’s why I said that this flower won’t necessarily sell at today’s auction, mainly because the price is too crazy compared to its effects."
Tang Xiao’s clone fell silent upon hearing that, and he seriously considered the flower’s price. He did have many gold coins in the treasury vault, but he felt it would be a waste if the flower only increased one of his elents by one level. Not to ntion, he has six different elents, and the flower will only increase the level of one of them.
[Master, you can bid on the Origin Elental Flower if you want to increase your elental levels, and you don’t need to worry about the flower’s original effects. We have a lot of modern equipnt on the ark, and they’re all very useful for improving the flower’s basic effects. Once I increase the flower’s effect, it will increase all your elent levels at once. However, I’m not sure how much your elent levels will increase, so we’ll have to try it first to see the results. Besides, I can clone the flower using the equipnt in the ark, and you can use the clones for the people closest to you, so they will also get the benefits.]
Tang Xiao’s clone naturally wouldn’t doubt Xiao Ai and all the equipnt on the ark, especially since they ca from tens of thousands of years in the future. He decided to acquire the flower, but he didn’t imdiately bid on it, choosing to observe the situation inside the auction first. ’Have you taken the gold coins?’
[Master, I will send a storage ring to your location now, and I have filled it with one hundred billion gold coins, so you can buy all the items that are useful for you and those closest to you.]
Tang Xiao’s clone smiled upon hearing that, and he looked to his right before picking up the storage ring that Xiao Ai had just sent him. He imdiately checked inside, and his smile widened when he saw the large amount of gold coins inside. ’Haha! This way, I can buy all the useful items in this auction, and I will ask Senior Feng to represent in bidding for those items.’

"Wait." Huang Xianyu walked out onto the balcony from her VIP room. "Miss Xuan Yi, can you please reveal the identity of this flower’s owner to us?"
Xuan Yi looked up at the room and shook her head. "Please forgive , Senior Xianyu. According to the auction rules, I cannot reveal the identity of this flower’s owner to you, and that person does not wish to be known by anyone. If you are interested in this flower, then you must bid for it through auction and compete with other cultivators."
"I see." Huang Xianyu nodded in understanding. "In that case, I’ll bid three hundred and thirty million gold coins for the flower."
