179 Silver Spirit Fescues

This specific herb was known as a Silver Spirit Fescue, and it was a very gentle grass-type, but due to the sheer age of these herbs, the energy contained within was simply outstanding.

These Silver Spirit Fescues had populated a whole field, and Luo Xiao had unrooted all of them, feeling rather satisfied with the gains.

However, later, he had felt that the amount of grass leaves he had were simply too numerous, so he decided to take a rather significant stack and send them to the auction house.

Many alchemists were very knowledgeable about this particular herb, as it had been mentioned in most of the ancient pill-formulas, and it was also a more modern version of this herb that was used in most of the modern recipes. ????n????????????????????.co????

The modern version was known as a Blue Spirit Fescue, and while it had more or less the same use, it was not able to contain even half the energy that could be found in the silver version of the herb.

This was also why the alchemists had gotten this excited upon seeing the herb appearing this early on in the auction. According to the list, there were one hundred of these grass leaves, and each sale was split into a batch of ten.

While this Silver Spirit Fescue was not of much interest for the common citizens or noble guests, it was a must-have for those who liked to concoct pills, so the bidding had already started out fiercely, and they dared not let go.

The auction house had also planned this intentionally. According to the rules of auctions, one had to put out increasingly rare treasures the further into the auction one came, so the start might feel somewhat tame.

However, the items at this auction were all very special, so they had decided to toss these grasses out at the very beginning, hoping to make the audience boil from the very beginning.

.....

This item was, when looking at the prospective value, indeed not as rare or expensive as the others, but due to the ability to directly integrate them into current pill formulas, they were still among the most wanted items.

The price for the first ten grass leaves was already shooting through the roof, and the atmosphere within the auction hall was growing more and more tense.

Although the cost for the first ten leaves had already reached the price of ten moon grade spirit crystals, it did not seem to have any signs of slowing down.

The wealth within the Tiandi Continent was split into mortal currency and the spirit stones used by cultivators.

The mortal currency was copper coins, silver coins, gold coins, and gold bars.

Apart from the mortal currency, the cultivators usually used spirit crystals, and these crystals also had various ranks, depending on the amount of energy that they contained.

The weakest was an earth grade spirit stone, followed by a sky grade, and all the way to the saint grade spirit stone. However, even if one had money, the emperor and saint grade spirit stones were practically impossible to get one’s hand on, so the heaven grade spirit stones were the ones that were considered the best.

One had to use ten copper coins to get one silver coin, and one hundred silver coins for one gold coin. The gold bar required one hundred gold coins, but the earth grade spirit stone required one thousand gold coins to purchase.

This was enough to show how rare the spirit crystals were, and it was also why it was nearly impossible for mortals to get their hands on these cultivation resources.

Luo Xiao could not help but think back to when he began traveling with Jiang Yao, and he heard about these crystals for the first time.

He, too, had looked at them with the eyes of a mortal, but now that he witnessed how the grass he had aplenty in his storage treasure was selling for tens of moon grade spirit crystals, he began to understand how much his world had changed.

Although Luo Xiao was leaning against Jiang Yao and seemed extremely intimate while enjoying the wealth that they were reaping from this auction, his senses were on high alert so that he could react to any changes that would arise.

Jiang Yao could sense that although Luo Xiao was leaning on him, his body was taut and ready to attack at any moment. Such vigilance was naturally good, but the guy who was currently observing them might notice something wrong, so he gently began to trace the spine on the slender back with his fingers.

Although there were clothes in between Jiang Yao’s fingers and Luo Xiao’s back, the feeling still caused the younger male to tremble and startle as he lifted his head and looked quizzically at his demon lover.

The puzzled eyes of Luo Xiao made Jiang Yao’s lips curl into a smirk as he was in a great mood. Although they were currently being observed, he was not too worried.

The expert that was observing them was, without a doubt, much stronger than any other enemy he had faced, but that was merely due to the fact that the true strong experts on this continent were very few.

So, although he was strong, he did not have anyone on whom he could truly unleash his abilities against. Although his relationship with his father was not great, he was not willing to harm him, so, he could never go all out in their battles, and those two were the only Saint ranked experts on the whole continent.

However, the expert hiding in the shadows was clearly also a Saint ranked expert, though due to the energy fluctuations, he was slightly weaker than Jiang Yao.
