I Can Strengthen Everything

Chapter 186: Chapter 111: Demon King Core and Celestial Scroll

Watching Hong Miaojin make a bid, the two of them looked on in disbelief.

They might have been surprised by other things, but for her to bid on a Middle Grade Spiritual Treasure... was it really necessary?!

With Hong Miaojin’s power, the boost a Middle Grade Spiritual Treasure could offer her would likely be minuscule...

This whole bidding affair was truly baffling.

’Could it be she has a thing for collecting?’

The thought flashed through Fang Xing’s mind, but he didn’t say anything.

’She’s got the money, she can buy whatever she wants.’

...

The auction hall fell silent. The moment the price of 200,000 gold was announced, nearly all other sounds vanished.

A Middle Grade Spiritual Treasure was extraordinarily powerful, but this price was already very high.

After the auctioneer’s three-second countdown, the hammer fell, finalizing the auction.

"Congratulations to our honored guest in Booth Three for winning this item!"

The voice echoed throughout the hall.

Everyone’s eyes turned toward Booth Three.

And at the mention of "Number Three" by the auctioneer, inside another booth...

An old man smiled slightly. "Number Three... that’s that girl Miaojin’s booth, isn’t it?"

Hearing the old man’s words, a middle-aged man beside him nodded. "Yes, my lord. It is Marshal Hong’s booth."

Hearing the middle-aged man’s reply, a look of surprise crossed the old man’s face. "That girl... doesn’t she usually dislike this sort of occasion?"

At this, the middle-aged man smiled. "Perhaps Lord Hong acted on a whim. She didn’t come alone today. She’s with two others: one is her subordinate, Commander Zhou Yu, and the other... I believe his name is Fang Xing, a Commander from the Jiang Province Observatory."

"Hm?"

The old man was taken aback. "A Commander from the Jiang Province Observatory? Why would he be with her?"

The middle-aged man bowed slightly. "My lord, he is a powerful genius whom Lord Hong personally requested on loan. It seems this person is known as a legend in the Jiang Province Observatory, one of Lord Nangong Qing’s most capable subordinates."

"A legend?" The old man’s eyes glinted with even more curiosity.

"What’s so special about him?" the old man asked, his gaze drifting toward Booth Three.

"Fang Xing’s Cultivation is astonishing. When he joined the Jiang Province Observatory, he only had a Neutralizing Force Cultivation. Yet, in just about a year, he made a massive leap, breaking through to the Middle Stage of the True Qi Realm and reaching a Cultivation of True Qi Fifth Layer."

"Oh? In that case, he is quite the prodigy." A strange light flickered in the old man’s cloudy eyes.

The middle-aged man said with a beaming smile, "He is indeed a prodigy. Not only is his Cultivation powerful, but his combat strength is also exceptionally shocking. He has slain High Realm Great Demons before, and even a Martial Artist at True Qi Peak. And that’s not all..."

"According to our intelligence, he joined forces with Lord Hong’s subordinate, Zhou Yu, to slay a Demon from an Evil Cult who was at True Qi Realm Perfection."

"We hear he was the main force in that battle. Despite his Cultivation being at the Middle Stage of the True Qi Realm, he apparently possesses the strength to go toe-to-toe with someone at True Qi Realm Perfection."

"He’s that incredible?!"

As he listened to the middle-aged man’s account, the old man’s eyes lit up, a hint of disbelief in them.

The middle-aged man nodded. "Yes, he truly possesses such strength. He has cultivated some kind of top-tier Horizontal Refining Divine Skill, as well as several other top-tier Martial Arts. Moreover, his Martial Arts Mastery is exceptionally profound, which is why his power is so astonishing."

"Analyzing his growth, it’s likely he could break through to the True Gang realm in just three to five years."

"That girl has a good eye," the old man sighed.

The middle-aged man chuckled and said softly, "My lord, there’s something you may not know. To scout this person, Lord Hong even had Lord Duan personally issue an order to put pressure on Lord Nangong Qing."

"..."

"So that girl has also learned to throw her weight around," the old man chuckled.

"Still, for someone to have such strength and exceptional talent is indeed impressive. Find a time for him to come see me," the old man said.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man nodded.

"My lord, why did you buy this thing?" Inside the booth, Zhou Yu looked at Hong Miaojin, his face filled with confusion.

With Hong Miaojin’s Cultivation, did she really need a Middle Grade Spiritual Treasure?

For someone with Hong Miaojin’s Cultivation, a Middle Grade Spiritual Treasure was practically non-essential.

"Are you telling me what to do?" Hong Miaojin shot him a sidelong glance.

Zhou Yu: "..."

Nearby, Fang Xing didn’t interject, but he too was utterly stunned.

Soon, there was a knock on the door, and a middle-aged man entered the booth. He respectfully delivered the newly auctioned Blood Spirit Seal into Hong Miaojin’s hands.

"Just deduct it from my card," Hong Miaojin said.

The middle-aged man nodded with a cheerful smile and promptly exited the booth.

’This woman... so damn domineering!’

At that moment, a thought flashed through Fang Xing’s mind.

’Now *that* is what you call spending money like water!’

’Two hundred thousand gold, deducted directly from her VIP card. Just how much did she load onto that thing?’

The two men stared blankly at Hong Miaojin. She toyed with the Blood Spirit Seal for a moment, then looked at Fang Xing and tossed it to him through the air.

"It’s yours. Consider it a welcome gift."

Fang Xing: "..."

He looked at the square Blood Spirit Seal in his hand, then looked back at Hong Miaojin.

After a moment of stunned silence, Fang Xing stood up, bowed slightly, and said, "Thank you, my lord."

To give away a Middle Grade Spiritual Treasure just like that... To Hong Miaojin, it might be non-essential, but to him, a Middle Grade Spiritual Treasure was a completely different story.

Its power was immense!

’This trick to win people over... it’s so sweet!’

’Really sweet!’

"No need for such formalities when we’re out. Sit," Hong Miaojin said lightly.

Fang Xing sat down, still feeling a sense of disbelief as he looked at the Blood Spirit Seal in his hand.

This welcome gift was worth 200,000 gold!

He wasn’t some saint. He was a common man, a through-and-through common man.

A Magical Treasure this powerful would be a huge boost to his strength!
