Chapter 170: Chapter 170: Reviving the Dead, Granting the Living Immortality

Ji Tian: “…”

“Can you stop interrupting my good mood?”

The King of Competition, holding a bag of popcorn, one piece at a time: “I just happened to notice your thoughts and came over specially to remind you, instead of seeking longevity, you’d be better off eating less junk food and getting to bed on time like me, maybe you’ll live a little longer.”

“I really thank you, you can roll out now, I don’t believe I won’t live past twenty-five!”

The King of Competition fell silent for a moment, Ji Tian had already left her mind’s consciousness, and thus missed out on the King of Competition’s hesitance; it let out a quiet sigh, never mind, some secrets are better unknown–happier for Ji Tian. It would be good if she lived her next few years high-spirited and joyously.

In the end, the elixir was fried all the way to two million and was taken by a businessman in his fifties. Only a few people were skeptical about this medicine.

They didn’t really believe in these elixirs, as even Emperors in the ancient times went mad seeking immortality from them, preferring to trust in modern science and hospitals.

The third item was a pure emerald, starting bid at a hundred thousand.

Ji Tian watched until she started dozing off.

When it came to the fifth item, even shower gel was being auctioned, a high-end mixture of various precious varieties of jasmine, with only fifty bottles available worldwide, starting price ten thousand.

This was a bargain, sought after only by a minority of women.

Ji Tian thought of the King of Competition, who had mentioned wanting a jasmine scent last time, pondered for a moment, and then lazily raised her bidding sign, “Twenty thousand.”

The crowd was stunned for a moment, someone teased, “Miss Yin Man wants this bottle of shower gel?”

Ji Tian responded directly, “Yeah, I want it, it’s for my naughty son.”

Everyone: “???”

Since when did Yin Man get married and have kids?

No one competed with Ji Tian for the bottle of shower gel, and she snagged it easily; soon a servant would bring it over to her.

Lin Shihuan frowned slightly, “What do you need that for?”

“None of your business, it’s not your money I’m spending.”

Lin Shihuan was taken aback, feeling that Ji Tian was upset because of his warning just now; he snorted lightly and didn’t speak again.

Once the shower gel was in her hands, Ji Tian called for the King of Competition in her mind, “King of Competition, look what I’ve brought you, something nice.”

The King of Competition appeared languidly: “What is it?”

Ji Tian raised an eyebrow playfully, “Want some jasmine-scented shower gel?”

The King of Competition’s eyes sparkled immediately: “Where is it!!!”

In the dim auction room, no one noticed the shower gel originally held by Ji Tian had disappeared.

It held the bottle, which was even taller than itself, tightly with its little short hands and leaned its face against it, utterly satisfied.

The King of Competition 9(1^o^1)6: “Thank you, Host, you’re really nice~”

Tsk, what a quick change of faces.

The moment a dazzling diamond appeared, even the dim auction hall seemed to burst with color, and Ji Tian’s spirit lifted–damn, that was beautiful!

“The Aurora Diamond, after twenty years of refining, can refract seven different colors in the sunlight; it’s incredibly beautiful, with a starting bid of ten million.”

Ji Tian: “…”

She confirmed the price, and knew she couldn’t afford it!

Ten million was just the starting bid, and these big shots would probably push it to several hundred million.

Ji Tian liked it a lot, but thinking about the seed money she needed for her business venture, once she had money, she would buy a hundred to use as light bulbs in her room!

In the end, the diamond was bid up to two hundred million and was taken by a young man in a suit.

Ji Tian glanced at it before pulling back her burning gaze, her particular love for gold chains, diamonds, and gems–those flashy trinkets.

She lost interest in the rest of the auction, slumping in her chair like a puddle of mud.

Lin Shihuan wanted to say something but hesitated, finally adding, “Is it worth brooding over a diamond… Doesn’t your family have such things?”

Ji Tian looked up at the ceiling, feeling life was bleak: “No… What’s worse than watching the treasure you adore slip into someone else’s pocket? Damn it, if I were rich I wouldn’t have missed out on it!”

This only solidified Ji Tian’s determination to become quietly wealthy, to collect all the beautiful gems in the world!

Lin Shihuan: “…”

It’s too sad, born in a wealthy family yet having no control over its wealth.

That’s the difference between an heir and a casually raised young master or mistress.

Next up was a Qing Dynasty bronze box from the Wen Family, seen as an antique with a starting bid of one million, and finally taken for five million.

A broken bronze box worth five million–some people must be joking around.

By nine o’clock, the auction was coming to an end with over thirty items sold.

A female servant wheeled over a box covered with red cloth; President Wen stood beside it, beaming with joy: “Next up, the climax of our auction, the Zeng Family’s Inheritance Order!”

As he spoke, he lifted the red cloth, and the bronze-colored Inheritance Order, encased in a transparent glass box, immediately caused a sensation, the surrounding gazes growing fervent–it was clear the item before them was too tempting.

President Wen, satisfied with the crowd’s reaction, chuckled: “I’m sure everyone is aware of the purpose of the Inheritance Order, possessing it equates to controlling half the Zeng Family. The Zeng Family has been hidden for many years, not to mention their eligibility for high-level martial competitions, but their wealth is certainly not insignificant. All the Four Ancient Martial Families reside on Wis Continent, quite some distance from our Hua Country, so there’s no need to worry about the Zeng Family sending someone here, nor about the authenticity of this token–it’s guaranteed genuine! The starting bid is ten billion!”

President Wen implied that even if one couldn’t inherit the Zeng Family’s samurai, they could still use the Inheritance Order to extort a considerable fortune.

At ten billion, the room was in an uproar.

Lin Shihuan’s breathing grew heavier, and he asked in a low voice, “Is this token real or fake?”

Ji Tian glanced at it with her Treasure Identification Skill, noting that the entire Inheritance Order seemed to be coated with gilt, that’s the original appearance of the token; the outer bronze layer was a disguise.

She nodded to Lin Shihuan: “It’s real; scrape off the outer bronze layer, and inside it’s golden.”

The light in Lin Shihuan’s eyes grew intense, his hands trembling with excitement as Ji Tian puzzledly looked on: “So, you too wish to take control of the Zeng Family’s samurai? Wanting to train a bunch of bodyguards, are you?”

“No…” Lin Shihuan slowly shook his head before saying, “Wis Continent is on the edge of the world, surrounded by countries with harsh environments, but strangely, Wis Continent itself is beautiful, untouched and pristine, as if blessed by the heavens, like a gorgeous Immortal Realm…”

“Therefore, there’s a legend that the Wis Continent is an ancient land passed down from antiquity, and as Earth has changed, their location has also been revealed. The Inheritance Orders of the Four Families are made from gold that fell from the sky, divided into four parts, each guarded by one of the families. If you cut open the token, water flows out–this water is known as Boundless Water, drinking a sip revitalizes one’s spirit and grants at least twenty years of longevity. And with complete Boundless Water, combined with the extinct herbs used by the Ancient Divine Doctor, it can resurrect the dead and grant immortality to the living…”
