233: Chapter 222: Lingming Turtle_1 233: Chapter 222: Lingming Turtle_1 This woman was no more than thirty years old, with a wickedly charming appearance, emanating a captivating mature aura from head to toe. Although she was young and her voice was extremely enchanting, her words instantly quieted everyone in the room. Lv Zhong glanced at her with interest, noticing that she didn’t practice Ancient Martial Arts or cultivation. However, her energy was incredibly strong. It was clear that she had met countless high-ranking officials and billionaires, and she was not bothered by the many powerful figures present. This indicated two possibilities: first, she belonged to a powerful family, specifically one with immense influence; second, she had an extremely robust backer. Regardless of either possibility, it was evident that she was someone most of the people in the room would not dare offend. Seeing that everyone had fallen silent, the incredibly alluring woman flashed a charming smile and said, “Now that everyone has quieted down, let’s begin the auction. In fact, I will personally host it today—” “Wow!” Her words caused a stir in the room, leaving everyone momentarily stunned. “I didn’t expect Sister Yao Ye to personally host this underground auction. It seems like there will be quite a few good items coming up today!” Cheng Feng muttered, pulling Lv Zhong to sit down.

Lv Zhong glanced at Cheng Feng and nonchalantly asked, “Brother Feng, is this woman famous?” “Famous?” Cheng Feng was taken aback, looking at Sister Yao Ye unconsciously before whispering, “Little Zhong, Sister Yao Ye is more than just famous, she has a mysterious background, but all the young masters in Star City dare not offend her, even allowing her to command them.” Lv Zhong asked curiously, “Star City is the provincial capital. Are you saying she can even command the children of top-tier wealthy officials?” “Absolutely!” Cheng Feng nodded, “Although I haven’t seen her command the child of a number one figure, she is held in high regard by the offspring of the top figures in the province.” “Hehe, this is interesting.” Lv Zhong chuckled lightly, “If she’s so powerful, why would she host an underground auction in a private club? Does she manage this place, or does her backer hold more power than the provincial party secretary?” “I’m not sure about that!” Cheng Feng shook his head in response. He wasn’t too fond of this place. Due to his obesity, he doesn’t have many friends and is often ridiculed. Therefore, he didn’t frequent the Sanxiang Club and didn’t know much about Sister Yao Ye. While Lv Zhong and Cheng Feng were whispering, a well-dressed middle-aged man sitting three meters to their left smiled at the people around him, saying, “It looks like the treasures being auctioned this time will be extraordinary! Sister Yao Ye wouldn’t personally oversee it otherwise, this is exciting!” At this moment, the conference room was buzzing with discussions again. Everyone was surprised and puzzled that Yao Ye would personally preside over the auction, but most were filled with excitement and anticipation! Just as everyone stared in anticipation at the enchanting woman on the stage, several security guards with decent strength wheeled a large trolley out of a special elevator behind Yao Ye. The large trolley was covered by a large black canvas, concealing whatever was inside from the auction’s attendees. Seeing these people appear, the eyes of the attendees were drawn to the large case in the center of the group. The chatter in the hall abruptly fell silent. “Ladies and gentlemen, I believe you’re curious about our private auction at the Sanxiang Club. Usually, we don’t invite too many people to our private auctions, with no more than thirty attendees each time. But today, we’ve nearly eighty attendees. It’s the first time we’re hosting such a large auction. Perhaps you’re wondering if we’ve acquired the Age-Locking Pills and Rejuvenation Pills that everyone is scrambling for?” With this, Yao Ye paused, noticing eager anticipation in many eyes. She gave Cheng Feng a glance and continued with a smile. “Of course, we haven’t got any Age-Locking Pills or Rejuvenation Pills. However, we do have twenty treasures for this auction, all of extraordinary quality, so don’t miss out. By the way, there might be something in this auction that has similar effects to Age-Locking Pills and Rejuvenation Pills…” She finished and watched the crowd react with a smile. “Ah? Something similar to Age-Locking Pills and Rejuvenation Pills?” Some of the women and ladies gasped, their eyes gleaming as they stared at Yao Ye. “If there is genuinely something with similar effects, I must bid for it—” some women began to fantasize. “Yeah right, if they had something with similar effects, they would’ve kept it for themselves. How could they bring it to auction…” Some began to scoff. The Age-Locking Pills and Rejuvenation Pills have been verified, while this unverified thing is not believable to most. Hearing Yao Ye’s words, Cheng Feng glanced at Lv Zhong unconsciously. Yao Ye, who had been observing Cheng Feng, caught this action. A graceful, beautiful curve lifted the corners of her mouth, and her eyes flashed a hint of surprise and understanding. Something with similar effects to Age-Locking Pills and Rejuvenation Pills? Lv Zhong was slightly taken aback, but he didn’t pay much attention to the woman named Yao Ye. Meanwhile, many others started to guess what this item with similar effects to the Age-Locking Pills and Rejuvenation Pills could be. And what could have prompted the Sanxiang Club to invite so many people to a temporary underground auction this time? Even the mysterious woman, Yao Ye, was managing the auction? With a sweeping glance around, Yao Ye spotted the curiosity and excitement bubbling up in everyone. She gave a charming smile and picked up the microphone, “First up for auction is a pair of land turtles, each over a thousand years old. These two turtles each weigh exceed 110 kilograms, even heavier than the set of Giant Turtles discovered in Yunnan sixteen years ago. There’s a common saying, ‘A thousand-year turtle king, ten thousand-year turtle.’ These two land turtles symbolize longevity and prosperity. Keeping them at home could very well bring wealth and good fortune to their owner. The starting bid for this pair of land turtles is 20 million, with each incremental bid no less than 1 million…” Woah… All in the room were stunned! A pair of thousand year old land turtles? The Sanxiang Club actually managed to acquire such a thing? Such a surprise! Who exactly is the boss behind Sanxiang Club, to hold such terrifying power and influence, so audacious to auction such massive land turtles? For a moment, countless individuals were awestruck by the substantial strength and power presumably held by the mysterious boss behind Sanxiang Club. Lv Zhong’s gaze fell on the woman, a touch of surprise in his eyes. While inwardly astounded at the extraordinary Sanxiang Club, he also frowned slightly. He hadn’t expected this private auction to play with such high stakes, daring to auction off such huge turtles. This was completely ignoring national laws. Because such aged land turtles, once identified by the state, would no doubt become protected animals. Simultaneously, his Spiritual Sense quietly swept forward, reaching out towards the giant cabinet. Indeed! Inside the massive trolley were two iron cages, each housing a giant turtle. However, the two giant turtles currently appeared rather listless. However, Lv Zhong was able to sense the extremely rich life energy emanating from within these two turtles. “Huh…” Just as Lv Zhong was using his spiritual sense to sense the two turtles, he was surprised to find his spiritual sense drawn by a mysterious energy fluctuation. With a shocking exclamation, he felt his head spinning, and then he felt his spiritual sense directly penetrate the giant turtle shells. Then a surprising sight unfurled before Lv Zhong, inside these giant turtles there were pearl-like objects. One held fifteen while the other had thirteen. It was these pearl-like objects that made the life energy of the two giant turtles exceptionally intense and pure. “These are Spirit Turtle Pearls!” Lv Zhong couldn’t help but cry out in his heart. Spirit Turtles are a very mystical species of turtle, they generally possess the unique ability to court wealth and avoid calamity. In ancient times, countless Cultivators liked to use Spirit Turtle shells for divination. These shells could enhance the accuracy rate of divination, even providing calming and stabilizing effects. Most importantly, using Spirit Turtle shells for divination resulted in smaller and more manageable backlashes from revealing heavenly secrets. However, the most precious part of a Spiritual Turtle is not its shell, but every hundred years, it can condense one [Spirit Turtle Pearl]. When a Cultivator consumes this Spirit Turtle Pearl in combination with some pills, it enhances the cultivator’s sensitivity to the Dao, exponentially improving the user’s comprehension. It may even help the user court good fortune and avoid disaster. Of course, the flesh and blood of a thousand-year-old Spiritual Turtle also contains immense energy. If consumed in a particular way, it can promote longevity, slow aging and confer similar effects to Age-Locking Pills and Rejuvenation Pills. It’s for these many reasons that the number of Spiritual Turtles are dwindling. What Lv Zhong couldn’t figure out was that these two giant turtles should possess potent abilities to court wealth and avoid danger. So why were they caught and even brought to the Sanxiang club for auction? However, Lv Zhong was too lazy to ponder why these two giant turtles ended up at the Sanxiang club. In the face of these two exceptional giant turtles, Lv Zhong suddenly felt a stirring in his heart. “Fantastic!” A thick delight flashed in Lv Zhong’s eyes. Coming across these two Spirit Turtles was indeed an unexpected joy. Lv Zhong intended to buy these giant turtles. Firstly, Lv Zhong needed the [Spirit Turtle Pearls] inside these turtles. Secondly, these turtles would not die in Lv Zhong’s hands, and they could even grow into two terrifying Demonic Beasts. “Such a pity I only have less than 200 million RMB in all my possessions. I wonder if I’ll be able to buy these two turtles!” Lv Zhong suddenly became worried. But just because Lv Zhong is short on cash, doesn’t mean he can’t raise the money! (To be continued.
