Chapter 178 Then call your aunt over!
The private room fell silent.
It was so quiet that only the breathing of the three people could be heard.
The young man, who had been standing there obediently, was now completely stunned. He never expected that his fourth grandfather, who was at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, would show such respect to Zhang Xuanchen!
After hearing Wu Jinming's words, Zhang Xuanchen also weighed the pros and cons in his mind.
Some time ago, in order to ensure the safe departure of the Zhang family from Daojian Immortal City, Ling Shuang promised to help Zhou Tianjian compete for the position of sect leader.
This also means that Luo Lingshuang belongs to Zhou Tianjian's side.
If Xia Xiangtian defeats Zhou Tianjian, Luo Lingshuang will definitely be targeted!
Wu Jinming is Zhou Tianjian's uncle and is definitely his loyal supporter.
By helping Wu Jinming break through to the late stage of the Golden Core realm, he indirectly reduced the possibility of Ling Shuang being targeted.
This deal is incredibly profitable!
After a moment of contemplation, he replied, "It is possible, but I do not have any high-grade third-tier earth-attribute spirit peaches."
Hearing this, Wu Jinming's face was filled with disappointment, and he gave a wry laugh:
"Ah, this is fate. Oh well, oh well."
"That's true. There are so many people in this world who haven't broken through to the Golden Core stage, while I've already cultivated to the mid-stage of the Golden Core. What more could I ask for?"
Although he was trying to comfort himself, the resentment on his face was clearly visible even to the young man standing to the side.
However, he did not harbor any suspicion or ill intentions towards Zhang Xuanchen.
If a narrow-minded cultivator were to do this, they would certainly suspect that Zhang Xuanchen was lying and simply didn't want them to break through.
After all, it's easy to become decadent if you can't break through a certain level for a long time.
It seems that Wu Jinming has a good character.
Zhang Xuanchen was completely relieved.
He spoke again, saying, "While I may not have any high-grade third-tier spirit stones, I didn't say I didn't have any top-grade third-tier spirit stones. I just don't know about these spirit stones..."
After saying that, Zhang Xuanchen picked up his wine cup and drank the third-grade mid-level spirit wine in one gulp.
In an instant, terrifying spiritual power raged through his meridians.
Holy crap!
Great!
He had completely forgotten that he was only at the late Foundation Establishment stage.
You can't show anything unusual, or you'll give yourself away.
Suppressing his discomfort, Zhang Xuanchen secretly circulated his cultivation technique, absorbing the unruly spiritual energy within his body.
Wu Jinming, preoccupied with his earlier words, failed to notice that Zhang Xuanchen's expression was somewhat off.
He immediately went to the table, looked at the calm and composed old man before him, and said excitedly:
"Really? Oh, I will remember your great kindness today!"
You can still get double the reward if you put in a Soul Stone!
May I have the opportunity to see this first?
Brother, don't misunderstand, I'm just worried about not giving enough spirit stones.
After saying that, Wu Jinming looked at Zhang Xuanchen with anticipation, his hands trembling with excitement.
A full fifty years!
The barrier that had held him back for fifty years now finally had a chance to be broken!
If it weren't for his own grandson being there, he would have been dancing with joy!
Zhang Xuanchen remained expressionless, only trying his best to suppress and absorb the spiritual energy impact brought by the wine.
However, this reaction startled Wu Jinming!
He slapped his forehead hard. "Oh dear, look at my brain!"
He cursed himself inwardly and personally poured Zhang Xuanchen a full glass of wine.
A smile as bright as a chrysanthemum bloomed on her face.
As he completed his set of movements, Zhang Xuanchen also absorbed the spiritual energy within his body.
Just as I came to my senses, I noticed a chrysanthemum-shaped face very close to me.
Who the hell turned their ass towards me!
Holy crap!
A loud shout startled Wu Jinming.
Holy crap?
Could it be that this mysterious powerful figure is thinking about women?
Wow, he's really still going strong for his age.
However, a man is a boy until he dies, and I, Wu Jinming, understand that.
Seeing the slightly odd look in Wu Jinming's eyes, Zhang Xuanchen realized his behavior was inappropriate. To prevent Wu from dwelling on it, he quickly took out a small wooden box and changed the subject:
"Ahem, since you call me 'brother,' I'll accept it."
Brother Wu, this is a Tier 3 Top-Grade Thick Earth Origin Peach.
"How many spirit stones do you think it's worth?"
Wu Jinming hurriedly opened the wooden box, looked at the spirit peach in front of him that was shaped like a sand dune, and suddenly moved closer.
A top-tier lung conditioner has arrived.
A look of ecstasy appeared on his face.
That expression seemed to say:
Hmm~ 99%~ Rare item~
Her opinion of Zhang Xuanchen rose even higher; what kind of good person would carry around a top-grade third-tier spiritual item?
If this were in the Wu family, they would definitely treat it like a treasure!
That "brother" was totally worth it! With this spirit peach, he'll definitely be able to break through to the late Golden Core stage, and might even have a chance to reach the peak of the Golden Core stage in his lifetime!
"Ahem, name your price. If it's right, I'll sell it to you and won't put it up for auction."
Upon hearing Zhang Xuanchen's voice, Wu Jinming also realized what was happening.
He patted his chest and assured him, "Brother, don't worry, you are my benefactor."
You will definitely not suffer any losses.
This third-tier top-grade Thick Earth Kun Yuan Peach is a rare spirit peach. At an auction, it would fetch around 1,500 mid-grade spirit stones; doubling that would bring it to 3,000 mid-grade spirit stones.
He then handed Zhang Xuanchen a storage bag and said with a smile, "Brother, please check it out."
One thousand five hundred mid-grade spirit stones—this price is higher than many top-grade third-tier pills.
still alright.
Zhang Xuanchen took the storage bag and said, "No need, Brother Wu, would you lie to me?"
Arrange a private room for me; I'm quite interested in this auction.
There's one more thing, and I don't want a fourth person to know what's happening here!
otherwise……"
"Don't worry, brother! I understand! Baojin Sword Pavilion will not leak any information about the auctioneer! That's a hard and fast rule!" Wu Jinming agreed decisively.
"Come on, brother, I'll take you to the VIP auction room."
He then looked at the young man who was still standing there in a daze and said in a deep voice, "Wu Mingguang, what the hell are you still standing here for?"
"Hurry up and call two top-tier female disciples over to serve my brother!"
Seeing Wu Jinming get angry, Wu Mingguang put on a mournful face and said, "Sect Master, it's not that I don't want to, but there are too many people here today."
There are no female disciples left in the pavilion!
"Then call your aunt over!"
"what?"
"What?! Hurry up and go!"
"yes!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen couldn't help but say, "Brother Wu, there's really no need for that. I'm getting old..."
Before he could finish speaking, Wu Jinming interrupted him, saying seriously:
"No, you need it, brother. A man is a boy until he dies!"
There's nothing to be ashamed of.
My brother understands. To be honest, I actually like it too…”
