In Jiang Li's private room.
After the Eighth Prince handed the item to Jiang Li, he prepared to leave.
"Eighth Prince, please wait!" Jiang Li spoke up.
Lin Jingyang stopped, looking at Jiang Li with a smile.
"Does Saint Son Jiang have any other matters?" Lin Jingyang continued.
Lin Jingyang actually valued Jiang Li quite highly.
Lin Jingyang was well aware of what Jiang Li had done in the Shimo Sect.
Being able to contend with a Divine Maiden at the peak of the Saint King realm while only being at the Saint realm was no simple feat.
Jiang Li took a deep breath and then looked at the guards behind the Eighth Prince.
The Eighth Prince understood and then asked the guards behind him to leave first.
"Eighth Prince, someone is planning to scheme against your Imperial Consort recently. You should take some precautions!" Jiang Li, seeing that no one was around, transmitted his voice to the Eighth Prince before him.
As soon as Jiang Li's voice entered the Eighth Prince's ears.
The Eighth Prince's pupils contracted.
"I am merely reminding the Eighth Prince. As for the authenticity of the intelligence, I cannot guarantee it!" Jiang Li transmitted again.
Jiang Li had also deliberated. It wouldn't hurt to inform the Eighth Prince.
If he believed it, he would naturally take corresponding measures.
If he didn't believe it, Jiang Li wouldn't do anything else.
"Thank you for the reminder, Saint Son Jiang. I have important matters to attend to, so I will not keep you any longer. I will surely repay you handsomely in the future!"
The Eighth Prince transmitted back to Jiang Li, his expression becoming extremely stern, clearly realizing something important.
Immediately afterward, he hurried out of Jiang Li's private room.
...
In another private room.
The private room was extremely luxurious, with a faint incense circulating around.
Several powerful guards stood watch around the perimeter.
"Miss, the Eighth Prince has gone to that Shimo Sect Saint Son's private room!" A maid with a clear and beautiful appearance entered from outside the room and said slowly.
As soon as the maid spoke, Chen Lingyue's expression changed slightly. She hadn't expected to be a step behind.
He had actually succeeded.
"Damn it, that Lin Jingyang, he only knows how to study these things..." Chen Lingyue gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with unwillingness.
Clearly, Chen Lingyue had thought of it instantly.
That Lin Jingyang was going to give that nameless ancient book to Jiang Li.
Although Chen Lingyue had no interest in this ancient book, the thought of Jiang Li obtaining it made her feel uncomfortable.
'Miss, what should we do next?' Shui'er then asked Chen Lingyue.
Chen Lingyue bit her lower lip slightly, her beautiful cheeks flushed. She was quite angry.
"Then let him go for now..." Chen Lingyue said unwillingly.
Apart from annoying Jiang Li at the auction, Chen Lingyue had no other particularly good solution.
After all, Jiang Li's status was special. If she truly did anything outrageous, her father wouldn't be able to protect her.
"By the way, Miss, the Eighth Prince has left the Tianyuan Auction House!" The maid seemed to have thought of something and said.
"He left? Wasn't his target this Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng? Why did he leave!" Chen Lingyue murmured, her eyes full of disbelief.
She knew very well how much the Eighth Prince desired this Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng.
And now he had left directly.
He didn't even participate in the bidding for the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng.
Forget it, let's not worry about him. It's all his fault for not letting me vent my anger.
The auction continued in full swing.
...
In Jiang Li's private room.
After the Eighth Prince left, Jiang Li took out the ancient book the Eighth Prince had just given him.
Burn it with flames? A thought flashed through Jiang Li's mind.
Immediately, the spiritual energy within his body erupted, and a ball of flame appeared from the tip of Jiang Li's finger, igniting the nameless ancient book.
"Hoo!!!"
With a slight whistling sound.
The nameless ancient book was ignited, and a mysterious aura seemed to flow within it.
There really was something there, Jiang Li's eyes flickered.
In a short while, the flames completely burned the nameless ancient book to ashes.
A trace of deep black spiritual light appeared before Jiang Li's eyes.
Then, the deep black spiritual light directly drilled into Jiang Li's mind.
A profound piece of information appeared in Jiang Li's mind.
[Netherworld Overturning Seal], a high-grade Divine-tier mental power divine ability, containing the power of the abyss from hell, a top-tier mental power divine ability that can inflict extremely severe damage on enemies.
[Netherworld Overturning Seal], it was actually a high-grade Divine-tier mental power divine ability.
Jiang Li was filled with joy. Coming to this auction was indeed the right decision.
He had obtained such a top-tier mental power divine ability.
Although there were some twists and turns, as long as he could obtain it, that was enough.
"Next, we have the most important treasure of this auction, the twenty thousand-year-old Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng, a supreme spiritual medicine that can extend life by a thousand years. The starting bid is 30,000 Primordial Saint Crystals!" At this moment, the auction reached its climax.
The auction for the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng began.
A starting bid of 30,000 Primordial Saint Crystals, Jiang Li narrowed his eyes. As expected of a top-grade life-extending spiritual medicine.
However, Jiang Li knew that this was just the entry threshold. The actual transaction price would definitely be far higher than this.
"35,000 Primordial Saint Crystals..."
...
"39,000 Primordial Saint Crystals..."
...
"42,000 Primordial Saint Crystals..."
...
Just as Jiang Li expected, the auction price quickly reached over forty thousand, and it was still soaring.
Moreover, the bidders were all top-tier major forces.
There were even several Holy Lands.
"I am an elder of the Bright Sun Sacred Dynasty. Please give me some face and don't compete with me..."
"Heh, an elder of a mere Sacred Dynasty dares to bluster? If you have no money, don't speak. I am an elder of the Vermilion Bird Divine Dynasty..."
"I am an elder of the Spirit Shadow Holy Land. Don't come out and embarrass yourself, you newcomer power that has just become a Divine Dynasty..."
"All of you shut up! I am the elder of the Chaos Holy Land. You go die..."
"Damn it... trash, all you know is to shout. I am..."
...
The auction hall was suddenly filled with a barrage of curses.
These were all big shots from top-tier forces, arguing red-faced and puffing out their beards.
They had turned a perfectly good auction into a vegetable market.
Looking at this scene, Jiang Li was a little stunned.
These big shots were too down-to-earth.
However, Jiang Li was not surprised. After all, it was a twenty thousand-year-old Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng, a spiritual medicine that could extend life by a thousand years.
These people were all old folks whose lifespan was nearing its end.
If they didn't fight for it now, they would have no chance later.
The other people in the auction hall sat obediently in their seats, watching the big shots tear into each other.
After all, such a scene was extremely rare, and it would be great topic of conversation later.
"All of you shut up!" At this moment, a heavy voice resounded throughout the auction hall.
The entire auction hall was suppressed by an extremely majestic aura.
