Ch160 - Battle for Slots

“Cousin, you andXiaoXu joining the Lingwu Sect, is it for the selection of the Zunhuang Continent in three years’ time?” Looking at Liu Mufeng, Wang Feng asked.

“Yes, but it’s not in three years. It should be in two and a half years, so we need to prepare.” Speaking of this, Liu Mufeng sighed softly.

“Five Cousins, you are all single spiritual roots now. Will you also participate in the selection?” Looking at the five, Jiang Xu asked curiously.

Wang Feng smiled wryly. “I won’t participate. I’m the Eldest son and Grandson of the Wang family. I need to stay in the Wang family. The Second and Fourth Brothers will also stay, but the Third and Fifth Brothers will participate.”

“So that’s it.” Jiang Xu nodded, expressing his understanding.

“Many big families are like this. They won’t send all their children to participate in the selection, and they will keep some of them back home.” Although he felt a little regretful, Wang Feng also understood the situation. His Grandfather was the most important person for him. Grandpa also expressed that he would pass the title of City Master directly to him instead of his Father and two Uncles, hoping he would stay back for the family. Therefore, Wang Feng could only choose to stay.

“This is also for the family, I hope you understand.” Having said this, Wang Yongshan sighed softly and patted his Eldest Grandson on the shoulder.

“En, I understand Grandpa.” Nodding, Wang Feng agreed.

“Mufeng andXiaoXu, you two are very powerful. When you go to the Zunhuang Continent in the future, you should take good care of Kun‘erand Jiang‘er.” Wang Yongshan said as he looked at his Grandson and Grandson-in-Law.

“Grandpa, don’t worry, we are all from one family, and I will take care of the Third and Fifth Brothers.” Liu Mufeng readily agreed.

“En!” Nodding, Wang Yongshan showed a loving smile.

In the private room next door, Wang Yumei was bidding for a storage necklace, this necklace was previously owned by the second heroine.

“This storage necklace is so beautiful.” Fang Ya also liked it, looking at the storage necklace that was being bid on.

“Sister, don’t think about it, this necklace is being watched by that crazy girl Ji Furong. Your bid will be in vain.” Fang Heng said helplessly, looking at Fang Ya.

“I don’t want it. In the future, when I become a cultivator in the Spiritual Master Realm,XiaoJin will also make a beautiful storage necklace for me.” Fang Ya carefully stroked her contracted beast in her palm– a Spirit Insect. The Golden Spirit Insect of the nine stars in the Spiritual Master Realm.

Hearing this, Fang Heng smiled and teased her Sister. “This, I’m afraid it’s not going to be an easy task.” Given the level of the Golden Spirit Insects spitting out magic tools, it was estimated that the refined necklace would definitely look ugly.

“No,XiaoJin will become more and more powerful, I believe it.” Fang Ya looked at her contracted beast with joy.

“Liu Mufeng is so kind to CousinXiaoYa, he even gave her a Golden Insect.” Zhang Yan said strangely, looking at the Golden Insect in Fang Ya’s hand.

“Oh!” With a faint sound, Zhang Yan looked contemptuous, as she thought inwardly, ‘The Fourth Aunt’s family is Liu Mufeng’s lackey, what’s so great about it? Wasn’t everything just to please Liu Mufeng?’

“XiaoYa, these Golden Insects often bite people, you have to be careful, don’t get bitten by it.” Looking at Fang Ya, Wang Yujiao reminded ‘kindly’.

Fang Ya used voice transmission to tellXiaoJin’s words to her two Brothers, and they both couldn’t hold back their amusement as well.

Hearing this, everyone’s eyes fell on the auction stage, and sure enough, they saw Piao Hua had taken out another jade token.

“Everyone, we are now auctioning the second slot for washing the spiritual roots. This slot will be auctioned in the form of a barter. Everyone knows that our Senior Liu Mufeng is a single wood spiritual root, and his contract beast is a Five Element Spirit Insect. Our second slot for washing the spiritual roots will be auctioned for all kinds of genuine treasures that can assist Senior Liu Mufeng’s cultivation. Interested Fellow Daoists and Seniors, please start your bid!”

“I will give out ten Wood Spiritual Beads!”

“Thirteen Wood Spiritual Orbs!”

“Ten Wood Spiritual Beads plus a fire spar.”

“…”

Listening to the crazy bidding outside, many people were shocked. Jiang He’s face was strangely ugly. He thought that the second slot had finally appeared, and he could finally fight for it again, but it turned out to be a barter. How could this be?

“Damn, how could this be?” Wang Yumei was dumbfounded when she heard the bidding rules outside.

“How could it become barter?” On the side, Wang Yujiao was also dumbfounded.

Hearing the barter option, Liu Shen nodded to himself. No wonder the Third Uncle told him that he should go all out to fight for the first place. So it’s because of thisah!

“Mother, what should I do?” Looking at his mother, Zhang Hui asked anxiously.

“Son, don’t worry, there is one more slot, and one more place.” Looking at her son, Wang Yumei hurriedly comforted.

“Shen‘er, don’t worry, there is still a third slot.” Seeing her son, Wang Yujiao immediately comforted her Son as well.

Liu Shen shook his head. “Impossible, I won’t be able to get it. I’m destined not to get it.”

Looking at her despairing son, Wang Yujiao bit her lip. “Son, you can rest assured that in the next slot, Mother will definitely fight for you, and I will definitely grab it for you.”

“Don’t think about it, buy other thingsbah! You can’t get the slot.”

Seeing Liu Shen’s depressed and gloomy appearance, Zhang Hui was stunned. “Cousin, do you know something?”

“The Third Uncle said that if you can’t get the first place, don’t think about washing your spiritual roots.”

Hearing this, Zhang Hui was stunned for a while, and his face immediately became distorted.

“What’s the meaning of this?”

“I don’t know either. That’s what Third Uncle said to me. There’s only one chance.”

“One chance? So, the third place would be bartered as well?” Looking at Liu Shen, Zhang Hui asked blankly.

“It should be.” Liu Shen wasn’t sure about this either.

“The third place is to exchange an opportunity for Cousin-in-Law?” Fang Ya said in a low voice, looking at the two of them.

Hearing this, everyone’s eyes fell on Fang Ya.

“Cousin, you know about this?” Looking at his cousin, Zhang Hui asked suspiciously.

“I don’t know. I guess it should be like thatah. Didn’t Cousin Mufeng say that after the auction, he would go into seclusion with Cousin-in-Law? How can both of them go into seclusion without a good opportunity for Cousin-in-Law?” Fang Ya felt that with the degree of her Cousin’s doting on her Cousin-in-Law, he would definitely try to get Cousin-in-Law an opportunity.

“I think it’s possible. The last line of the auction flyer says that bartering is accepted, and the exchange of spiritual treasures is given priority.” Fang Qi said as he took out the auction list flyer.

Taking the flyer, Liu Shen felt that there was indeed no hope when he saw the line.

Looking at the words on the flyer, Wang Yumei clenched her teeth and shredded the leaflet directly. “Damn, damn Liu Mufeng, what the hell is he doing? What the hell is he doing? He doesn’t want spirit stones, he wants genuine treasures. His appetite is really big!”

“When you reach the cultivation of a Spiritual King Realm, the spirit stones are of little value to Mufeng.” Speaking of this, Fang Tiancheng sighed lightly.

“Yeah, the fourth-level Spiritual King Pill just now was exchanged for spiritual plants. Compared with spirit stones, what Mufeng wants is spiritual plants, or a genuine treasure that can help improve his strength.” Father Liu said, frowning deeply. He didn’t expect this to happen either.

“If that’s the case, then I’m afraid no one of us will be able to get a slot.” Looking at his own Son, Father Zhang sighed lightly.

“Grandpa, who do you think will get this slot?” Turning his head, Liu Mufeng looked at his Grandfather.

“Hmm, one of the two City Lords of Pill City or Artifact City!”

“Even I think it should be them.” The corners of his mouth curled up. Liu Mufeng was looking forward to this result. He heard the Lin family’s bid, but after only three rounds of bidding, there was no further bid. The Jiang family didn’t make any bids in the first round of the second slot, obviously they didn’t prepare genuine treasures. The Liu family also stopped bidding, and so did his two Aunts.

Sure enough, in the end, this place was won by the City Lord of Pill City. Listening to the pile of spiritual treasures that the other party had bidded out, Liu Mufeng was very satisfied, because every one of them could be used by him.

“Father, the City Lord of Pill City and Meng Chengxi are Senior Martial Brothers, right?” Looking at his father, the Third Son asked uncertainly.

Wang Yongshan waved his hand. “It’s okay, both of them are apprentices under the same Master, although they are Martial Brothers and both fourth-level alchemists, they have never gotten along with each other usually, and Pill City and Jialan City have long since stopped communicating.”

“Oh!” Hearing this, Wang Zhennan nodded.

As Fang Ya had guessed, the third slot was really used to exchange cultivation resources for Jiang Xu. As soon as Piao Hua said that this quota was given to Jiang Xu to be exchanged for cultivation resources, Jiang Dong’s whole face became even more distorted. Therefore, he was really hopeless, and he couldn’t get the third slot.

“Liu Mufeng is so kind to Jiang Xu.” Xu Qianya said sourly after listening to other people’s bids.

Hearing this, Jiang Dong’s face turned even more ugly. He never imagined that Liu Mufeng would actually use the slot for washing spiritual roots to exchange cultivation resources for his Cousin. This was being too, too fond of that Jiang Xu, right?

Hearing that the third slot was to exchange opportunities for Jiang Xu, the faces of the Lin family were also very ugly. They didn’t expect that Liu Mufeng would value their Grandson and Nephew so much, to actually use a slot to exchange training resources for Jiang Xu.

“Liu Mufeng is so kind to Jiang Xu.” Lin Ran said sourly after glancing at his Cousin.

“Indeed.” Nodding, Lin Yu thought so too. Although he was a single spiritual root and did not need his roots to be washed, however, there were several Cousins in the family who had multiple spiritual roots and wanted to wash their roots, which was a pity. They were destined to be disappointed.

In the end, the third slot was won by the City Lord of Artifact City. All three slots were filled, and none of them fell into the hands of acquaintances, making Liu Mufeng very satisfied. He didn’t want to wash the spiritual roots of the Jiang family, the Lin family, and the sons of his two Aunts.
