Chapter 905: Chapter 4: Ten Thousand Years of Dao, Demon God Blood, Meeting Shen Congyun

“Within the invitation, there’s a current list of confirmed auction items. Young Master Jiang, please take a look to see if there are any items that interest you!”

“Besides these confirmed auction items, there will be many others not listed here at the auction three days from now, just like the items Young Master Jiang has chosen to consign today.”

The attendant explained continuously.

Jiang Ning accepted the invitation, and the voice of the gray-clothed elder instantly rang in his ears.

“Go! Quickly fetch a steward here!” the gray-clothed elder said.

Hearing the implication in the gray-clothed elder’s tone, the attendant immediately understood.

“Elder Qian, please wait a moment. I will notify Steward Shen right away.”

Hearing this title, Jiang Ning was immediately startled.

In his mind, the image of Shen Congyun flashed by involuntarily.

Then, he watched the hurried back of the attendant as she left, withdrawing his gaze to refocus on the invitation in his hand. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel※fire.net

The invitation was lined with silver edges, and just by a glance, he could tell it was an important symbol of the guest’s prestige and status.

Regarding this, he wasn’t concerned.

He then flipped through the invitation in his hand.

The left side of the front page had just a few words, without specifying his identity or surname, only recording the time, location, and the two-hour period.

Evidently, this was an ordinary invitation, with no ownership mark; anyone who obtained it could use it to attend the auction at Wanhua Building on the sixth floor three days later.

He then looked at the folded paper tucked inside the invitation.

Pulling out and unfolding the paper, Jiang Ning glanced it over briefly; it only recorded thirty serial numbers.

Then, he began to browse earnestly, quiet and speechless.

The gray-haired elder beside him was also meticulously analyzing the few items he had just handed over.

Jiang Ning withdrew his gaze, having finished looking at the thirty items recorded in white characters, and his interest was greatly piqued.

For among them, there were several items he found quite intriguing.

One was the Jiezhi Leaf.

Jiezhi was not a so-called tree leaf.

Rather, it was a magical Immortal Treasure existing in the form of a tree leaf that embodied a mustard seed within a Sumeru Ring.

Tools that Cultivators of the Immortal Dao mastered during the Ancient Era are collectively known as Immortal Treasures in this age.

So, without a doubt, this item also requires an Immortal Root for use.

In terms of grade, it’s unknown how many levels higher it is compared to the Sumeru Ring he currently possesses.

At least several grades higher.

This item is even more miraculous; once refined and acknowledged as its master, it would transform into a leaf pattern that adheres to the body.

The reason for its existence in the shape of a tree leaf, according to the account on the white paper, is based on the saying “one leaf, one world.”

Obviously, this is somewhat of an exaggerated statement.

But without a doubt, this item is not only more convenient to carry but also has a larger storage space.

For him now, it is very useful.

Because the two Sumeru Rings he previously possessed had gradually seemed small in his hands, the space not sufficing for use.

By acquiring the Jiezhi Leaf, it would be different.

The Jiezhi Leaf could completely resolve this concern of his.

The Zetian Golden Stone also intrigued him substantially.

Having mastered the Refining Soldier Technique, he already had the means to meld rare minerals to enhance weapons.

As it happens, he had long mastered the ability to command water and fire, capable of summoning flames surpassing mortal fire out of thin air.

Such flames are sufficient to refine the Heavenly Gold Stone, thereby strengthening the long sword spiritual weapon he commands.

With the weaponry enhanced, the improvement in his combat strength is notably evident.

In addition, he was interested in a mysterious bronze fragment and three drops of Demon God blood.

A Great Demon is a thousand years in the making.

Any Great Demon possessing three thousand years of Dao inevitably faces the Heavenly Tribulation during the Ancient Times.

Surviving the Heavenly Tribulation, an inner core is baptized, earning the recognition of heaven and earth. From then on, it can truly transform, completely taking human form, no different from ordinary people.

They can also continue to advance their Dao.

Upon reaching this step, within the Demon Clan, they are bestowed the title of Demon King.

With such strength in that age, if they ascend, they can be listed among the immortals, on par with Immortals.

If they descend, they are Demon Kings, dominating a region.

And Demon Gods are terrifying beings with ten thousand years of Dao.

With ten thousand years of Dao, one earns the title of Demon God.

Imagine the level of pure energy contained within three drops of Demon God blood.

Just the thought made it unfathomable to him.

He once obtained a drop of ordinary Dragon Blood in the True Dragon Palace.

Understanding the might of such creatures.

One drop of blood was enough to significantly enhance a Martial Artist’s foundation, greatly improve their physical qualities, and increase their Qi-Blood.

The Demon God, with ten thousand years of Dao.

The energy contained within far surpasses that within ordinary Dragon Blood.

Were it given to him, diluted and refined, it could replenish all physical consumption instantly, leaving no deficiencies or fatigue.

Yet when he thought carefully about it, Jiang Ning felt something was off.

How could such a supreme treasure appear in this small auction?

In his view, Wanhua Building’s summer auction, held once per quarter, was just a minor auction.

A minor auction hosting such a supreme treasure was illogical!

A thought crossed his mind, and then he silently shook his head.

Whether true or not, it had nothing to do with him.

He had no intention of hastily involving himself in any disputes or chaos.

As for the bronze fragment, he found interest.

Because this item was too mysterious, the account on the white paper only had the word “unknown.”

Everything about it being unknown only piqued his intense interest.

Finding treasures; just the thought was exciting.

As he now possessed a Heavenly Eye, he could recognize most things that ordinary people couldn’t.

Just like how he acquired the Refining Soldier Technique—it happened in that way.

Thanks to the Refining Soldier Technique, it solved a troubling issue for him.

The problem of the long sword having a spirit.

The dragon spirit originally sealed in the long sword was incidentally refined under the effect of his Refining Soldier Technique, becoming nonexistent.

This, while reducing the spiritual nature of the spiritual weapon long sword in the short term.

In the long run, however, it increased its potential.

Now he could melt precious minerals like the Heavenly Gold Stone, increasing its strength, and simultaneously solving the hidden menace.

Footsteps came from outside the door.

One set of footsteps was heavier, at the front.

Another set was lighter, following behind.

Evidently, the footsteps behind belonged to the previous attendant.

An eighteen-year-old girl, delicate like jelly, naturally light-bodied, and her footsteps were equally light.

The door of the VIP room was pushed open, and a familiar figure appeared in Jiang Ning’s sight.

“Building Owner Shen!!” Jiang Ning was slightly surprised, but felt it was within reason.

Earlier, the gray-haired elder had the attendant fetch Steward Shen.

Across the land, countless bear the surname Shen, as numerous as stars in the sky.

Within a city, even, not a few are named Shen.

But within a small place like Wanhua Building, those with the surname Shen would certainly be few.

Shen Wenyan currently holds the position of Residence Master at the Inspection Mansion in Guangning City.

And Shen Congyun, being Shen Wenyan’s nephew, had long since come to Guangning Prefecture.

Therefore, when Steward Shen was mentioned, Jiang Ning immediately felt that person could likely be Shen Congyun.

Now seeing him, it was no surprise to him.

It was indeed Shen Congyun.

“Commander Jiang!!” Seeing Jiang Ning in the VIP room, Shen Congyun was first startled, his expression surprised, then he spoke up.

Hearing this familiar yet unfamiliar title, Jiang Ning had already stood up in greeting.

Shen Congyun was a significant figure in his life, providing him great assistance.

“I didn’t expect Commander Jiang to be in Guangning City!” Shen Congyun revealed a happy smile.

Although since arriving in Guangning City, he hadn’t returned to Luoshui County.

Yet he had always been inquiring and understanding Jiang Ning’s information.

Thus, he had learned much about Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning was the genius of Luoshui County he held in highest regard.

He chose to help him, even willing to break Wanhua Building’s neutral rules to do so.

Therefore, he had always followed Jiang Ning’s progress with great interest.

The later developments, Jiang Ning did not disappoint his then-expectations, or rather, far exceeded his expectations.

Especially last year, upon knowing Jiang Ning secured the Deputy Commander position of the Inspection Mansion.

He felt a strong sense of pride within.

Jiang Ning’s higher achievements represented that he wasn’t mistaken, not at all mistaken back then.

It validated his foresight.

It affirmed his efforts.

He hadn’t anticipated that the guest he was receiving today would be Jiang Ning, this distinguished guest.
