Becoming The Food God In This Cultivation World

As Tang Qianqiu looked at the green crystal, which resembled the Life Crystal he had seen in the past, the spiritual power of a Limit Douluo allowed him to keenly sense the immense vitality contained within it.

Just as he was about to speak up to place a bid, a voice suddenly cut in.

“1  million 100 thousand Gold Coins.”

This somewhat familiar voice caused a strange expression to appear on Tang Qianqiu’s face.

Could it be that this kid is here for it?

After stating the price, Qi Han seemed to become the focus of everyone’s attention, leaving him feeling somewhat awkward.

Ahaha. How embarrassing.

The reason why everyone was scrutinizing him was simple. Faced with a treasure that everyone was uncertain about, Qi Han was the first to bid, perhaps because he recognized this type of treasure.

Could he be the so-called destined individual mentioned by the item provider?

Moreover, the fact that a bidder on the first floor dared to shout out a bid exceeding tens of millions of Gold Coins was equally surprising.

“Huh?”

Sounds of surprise came from both Room No. 3 and Room No. 6. In Room No. 3, Shrek Academy, faced with Qi Han’s bold bid, Cao Rang was suddenly stunned, while Yue Lengxin beside him also looked somewhat surprised.

In Room No. 6, there was even more astonishment. Xu Changling, sitting inside, deeply glanced at Qi Han on the first floor, with a flicker of uncertainty in his eyes.

Although it was already known that the Small Shop owner had connections with both Tang Sect and Shrek Academy, Qi Han’s financial strength, capable of bidding over tens of millions of Gold Coins at once, was still something Xu Changling hadn’t anticipated.

Xu Yilian’s smile remained unchanged. “Bidder No. 2031 has offered 1 million 100 thousand Gold Coins. Is there a higher bid?”

As she spoke, a waiter politely approached Qi Han. “Sir, since you are a newcomer, bids exceeding 10 million must undergo a fund verification process. This is a rule of the Starlight Auction House. We apologize for any inconvenience caused.”

In his mind, Qi Han soon felt a strange sensation in his arms.

Reaching into his arms, he pulled out a golden card and handed it to the waiter.

The golden card was an advanced version of gold tickets, used when paying with gold tickets was still inconvenient. Gold tickets ranged in denominations from 100 Gold Coins to 10.000 Gold Coins, while golden cards required a higher amount, at least 1 million Gold Coins or more, to be processed at financial institutions in the Douluo Continent, similar to a debit card.

Seeing the golden card, the waiter bowed and accepted it. “Please wait a moment while I verify the balance on your golden card.”

The waiter hurried away and quickly returned, respectfully handing the card back to Qi Han. “Sir, there is no issue with your funds.”

Taking the card handed to him by the waiter, Qi Han calmly tucked it back into his arms, but couldn’t help feeling curious.

‘System, how much money is in there?’

【100 million Gold Coins.】

‘You are giving it all to me?’ Qi Han’s heart skipped a beat.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Han felt the golden card in his arms suddenly disappear, causing his expression to fall.

【Please don’t dream, host. This is the system’s private stash.】

‘Hey, why does a system need a private stash?’ Qi Han was somewhat puzzled.

【Mind your own business!】

Qi Han shook his head helplessly.

Fine.

Whether it was an illusion or not, it seemed that the system had developed emotions when speaking after entering the auction house.

This was something that had never happened before.

Although the system occasionally acted stubborn, its speech had always been emotionless and mechanical.

After Qi Han placed his bid, the auction house fell into a prolonged silence until Xu Yilian spoke again, “1 million 100 thousand Gold Coins for the first time.”

“1 million 100 thousand Gold Coins for the second time.”

“20 million Gold Coins.”

A voice came from Room No. 2, interrupting Xu Yilian’s words.

“I’ll bid only once. If you’re willing to pay more, then it’s yours.”

Although the words were not directed at anyone, it was obviously directed at Qi Han.

Even though Tang Qianqiu was acquainted with Qi Han, he hesitated for a long time, but still felt somewhat desirous of the Life Crystal.

Undoubtedly, it was a good thing.

However, Tang Qianqiu didn’t know much about the Life Crystal. Even in the records of Tang Sect, there was no mention of the Life Crystal. This was probably something that even the ancestor Tang San didn’t know about.

The Life Crystal should be an excellent treasure for Spirit beasts, as inferred from the extent of Di Tian’s rage. However, it was difficult to say whether it would also be of such great help to humans.

Tang Qianqiu didn’t even know how to use it. Bidding 20 million was more of a gamble.

If Qi Han still wanted to bid, then forget it.

After Tang Qianqiu, the other VIP rooms remained silent again, and the scene fell into silence once more.

Qi Han stood up from his seat and politely gestured towards Room No. 2, “Thank you for your generosity, senior. I bid 2 million 100 thousand Gold Coins.”

With no one else bidding, Qi Han successfully won the second item as Xu Yilian hammered down the gavel.

Qi Han didn’t plan to look at the third item anymore. Having obtained the second item, he could now leave with his mission accomplished. Rising from his seat, Qi Han headed towards the backstage of the auction house to pay for the green crystal.

He didn’t notice that as he stood up, many figures in the auction house also stood up simultaneously, preparing to leave.

In Room No. 2 on the second floor, Tang Qianqiu narrowed his eyes slightly and snorted, “Wealth stirs people’s hearts.”

The third item soon appeared, causing another round of discussion in the auction house. It was a 100.000 Years old head Spirit Bone.

It’s the first for 2 top-tier 100.000 Years old Spirit Bones to appear at a single auction.

Tang Qianqiu glanced at the Spirit Bone and shook his head slightly.

It was a good item, but unfortunately, there was no strong figure in Tang Sect who was suitable for this Spirit Bone. However, there seemed to be a senior in the Sea God Pavilion who was a perfect fit for it.

“Should Room No. 3 make a move on this Spirit Bone, you guys won’t need to bother.” With these words, Tang Qianqiu’s figure quietly disappeared within the room.

Qi Han was unaware of the commotion caused by the third item, as he had already reached the backstage of the auction house.

After paying with the golden card borrowed from the system, the green crystal came into Qi Han’s hands.

As soon as the crystal was in his hands, a stronger surge of life energy instantly flowed into Qi Han’s body, causing him to involuntarily emit a satisfied groan.

Truly a good item.

Even Pururu in his arms couldn’t resist getting closer to nuzzle against the green crystal and curiously licked it a couple of times. A very faint layer of green appeared on its body before it quickly retreated back into Qi Han’s embrace, entering into a deep sleep. It seemed like some kind of latent change was happening to it.

Qi Han didn’t stop Pururu, looking at it with some surprise as it fell into slumber. Obviously, Pururu was undergoing some kind of positive change, which was also good news for him.

‘System, care to explain to me what this is? What exactly is this thing and how do I use it?’

Qi Han still didn’t know what it was. It looked pretty, but was it just something to carry around every day?

But if being surrounded by such a strong life force every day, there shouldn’t be any problem with extending one’s lifespan, right?

Thinking like this, it indeed seemed like a precious treasure.
