After speaking, he clapped his hands.
A servant in a suit emerged, carrying a square, blood-red box. The servant gently opened the box, revealing a perfectly round orb that emitted a golden glow. Inside the orb, strands of blood-red silk seemed to swirl like rolling clouds, creating a mesmerizing sight.
Is this the Dragon Pearl?
Zuo Ci gazed at the Dragon Pearl before him, his eyes filled with greed. Before such treasures, no one could remain unmoved, especially when it concerned a creature as legendary as a dragon.
"What do you think, Mr. Fang? Do you like the treasure I've prepared for you?" Boss Hu said with a smug smile.
"Just a little something," he added confidently. "Is this not enough to win you over?"
"You're too kind!" Zuo Ci replied nonchalantly as he discreetly tucked the Dragon Pearl into his sleeve. "Isn't it just about establishing authority? Don't worry; I am a person of integrity. A promise is a promise. If anyone tries to cause trouble during the auction process, I will be the first to refuse!"
Boss Hu nodded in satisfaction. Finally, Zuo Ci was starting to gain some stature in front of him.
No more pretense; it was time to lay all cards on the table. He was indeed a nouveau riche, and he had money to spend.
It turns out that players who invest heavily are truly worthy of respect.
Zuo Ci lowered his voice and asked, "Boss Hu, could you arrange for me a secluded room for cultivation? Treasures like the Dragon Pearl can attract unwanted attention if not handled promptly. If I enhance my strength, it will also provide greater stability for you, won't it?"
Boss Hu, trusting him completely, immediately arranged for a remote chamber for Zuo Ci.
Taking advantage of the situation, Zuo Ci made good use of Boss Hu's resources. After all, he was the wealthy type; they were in it for the big players.
What were Seven Fiends Coffin, Coffin Fungus, and Hong Jiang? Though these items were precious, they could still be procured from Bao Long Auction House.
However, Boss Hu's expression was not good. Every type of treasure that Zuo Ci requested could easily be the highlight of any ordinary auction, and it felt like he was being ruthlessly squeezed dry! The sense of pride he had felt moments ago vanished without a trace.
But since Boss Hu needed something from Zuo Ci, he naturally wouldn't go against Zuo Ci's wishes. After all, the four Old Ancestors were running out of time; they relied on devouring Dragon Qi to prolong their lives, and every use of it meant one less chance. How could he compare to a living ancestor like Zuo Ci?
Boss Hu always took a long-term approach, aiming to catch big fish. However, when faced with a glutton like Zuo Ci, he found himself at a loss.
After a brief moment, the various treasures that Zuo Ci needed were all delivered. He intended to use the Dragon Pearl cultivation technique that he had just extracted from the Guo Shi Master's mind, which was related to Ghostly Craftsmanship. This thing was definitely a top choice for refining Flesh; when cultivated to perfection, the Flesh could even rival Hong Jiang.
As he opened the secret chamber door, a coffin surrounded by seven-colored Sha Qi lay horizontally within. This was the Seven Fiends Coffin, a treasure used for nurturing corpses, crafted from the seven major ominous fate patterns.
Inside the coffin was a figure covered in red scales—Hong Jiang—who was currently bound by Fulu Chains and could only watch Zuo Ci with wide eyes.
In Zuo Ci's hand was a bright red mushroom resembling a human head, emanating a chilling glow. This was the Coffin Fungus, also known as Zang Lingzhi. Its growth process was closely related to the material of the coffin itself. The material of Shou Mu had to be at least Bai Mu, with Golden Silk Nanmu being the best.
Ancient texts recorded that this fungus grows within coffins and thrives on human bones; those who passed away were often from wealthy families and had consumed spiritual pills throughout their lives. This meant that they frequently indulged in rare delicacies while alive, allowing their essence to condense even after death.
Long-term exposure to the essence of the deceased leads to the growth of fungal stalks from their mouths. This is known as Coffin Fungus, also referred to as Human Head Mushroom. It often appears in a vivid red color.
According to legend, the person in the coffin must be male and not entirely dead (a living corpse). This individual dies from shock after bleeding profusely. The Coffin Fungus thrives on the nutrients provided by this pool of blood.
Typically, the color of Coffin Fungus is quite bright red. The conditions for its growth are very stringent. Legends say that the graves from which Coffin Fungus emerges belong to elderly individuals, specifically those who have reached a certain age or beyond.
An old saying goes that life has two significant hurdles, and overcoming them brings blessings and longevity. Here, these two hurdles refer to specific ages. It is said that the two great sages of ancient times, Confucius and Mengzi, only lived to these ages. If even the sages could not surpass these two hurdles, it is even more challenging for ordinary people.
