Family Cultivation: I Farm and Raise Fish under the Sea

Chapter 75: Chapter 73 Ye Yuchan’s Surprise

In the evening, in a room of Qingling Pavilion.

Lu Li and Ye Yuchan were sitting on chairs, having conversed for a long while, the smile on Ye Yuchan’s face never ceasing.

At that moment, she suddenly pulled out a Storage Bag, handing it over to Lu Li with a smile, “Li’er, here are some Spiritual Objects that your mother has prepared for you during this time. You can bid on anything you need at the auction…”

Hearing this, Lu Li was deeply moved, “I don’t need them, I still have plenty of Spiritual Objects on me.”

“You child, what are you talking about? What could you possibly have amassed from guarding the islands for a few years?”

Ye Yuchan was clearly disbelieving.

Lu Li smiled and handed over the Storage Bag that he had prepared earlier.

Ye Yuchan, slightly skeptical, took the Storage Bag and swept it with her Divine Sense, her face filled with disbelief.

“This is… top-quality Spirit Rice, spirit fish, and many types of ores…”

She took out several exquisite porcelain bottles, opened them and was profoundly shocked. @@novelbin@@

Wisps of Spiritual Energy rose from the mouth of the bottles. She sniffed it and immediately felt invigorated, her whole being somewhat more alert.

After repeated inspections, Ye Yuchan finally confirmed that this was Earth Origin Spiritual Nectar.

“Apart from your Third Aunt and Qing Qing, Yu Ling girl, don’t let anyone else know about these items.”

She didn’t inquire about where these spiritual materials came from, instead, she earnestly advised Lu Li.

“I understand, Mother.”

Lu Li nodded smilingly.

Let these items stay with Mother, including what was meant for Father. I no longer lack resources and don’t need Mother to keep exhausting herself earning Spirit Stones.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yuchan’s eyes reddened, “My son has truly grown up; the family will rely on you in the future.”

She didn’t stand on ceremony with her own son, after storing away the Spiritual Objects, they conversed for a long while before parting ways.

Time slowly passed, and several days later.

Lu Li walked out of the pavilion and headed towards the street ahead.

These past few days, he had stayed in the pavilion to meditate and occasionally wandered the market, though he didn’t find any suitable items.

Of course, he never brought out any of his own Spiritual Objects for trade. The medium-sized market was a complex mix, and getting targeted by someone with ill intentions would be a great hassle.

Lu Li slowly made his way to the end of the street.

The ground was paved with huge bluestone tiles, very smooth, and the shops on both sides were neatly arranged.

Many cultivators flowed ceaselessly on the street, occasionally Qi Refinement Experts crossed, causing other low-level cultivators to steer clear.

Foundation Establishment Cultivators were really rare here, as this place was only a medium-to-small sized island.

The auction in the latter half of the year was specifically targeted for Foundation Establishment Experts.

Lu Li maintained his cultivation around the tenth layer of Qi Refinement, inconspicuous, with no cultivators foolish enough to trouble him.

Soon, he arrived at the end of the road, in front of a massive building.

The building was over ten zhang wide and two stories tall, constructed entirely from golden boulders, looking very imposing.

A large wooden door swung open to both sides, with a signboard hanging at the top of the curtain reading “Treasure Pavilion” in gilt letters.

Just as Lu Li reached the entrance, a young man in the middle stages of Qi Refinement came out with a smile.

“Sire, are you here to attend the auction? The entry fee is forty Spirit Stones.”

Lu Li nodded expressionlessly, silently cursing ‘swindler!’, then handed over the Spirit Stones.

The young man reverently handed over a Jade Token, “Sire, please enter, this is your admission token.”

Lu Li took the Jade Token and entered the venue.

Inside, the space was very spacious, divided into two floors, with some private boxes on the roof, probably reserved for Foundation Establishment Experts.

In the center, there was a high platform where a white-haired elder was sitting; he was the cultivator hosting this auction with a cultivation of the twelfth level of Qi Refinement.

On the first floor, there were hundreds of seats on either side; he checked the number on his Jade Token and then found his seat.

At that time, some cultivators had already arrived in the hall, sitting in meditation quietly, waiting for the auction to officially start.

Lu Li scanned the surroundings, seeing Lu Yuting and others among them, they exchanged smiles and then took their seats.

As noon approached, more cultivators arrived steadily, and soon both sides of the seats were full.

He also saw an old acquaintance, Chen Wuluo from the Chen Family, sitting not far from him.

Chen Wuluo had also noticed Lu Li; he turned his head, flashed a cold smile, and a hint of frost glinted in the corner of his eye.

Cultivators from the Lin Family and the Wang Family were also not far on the west side.

Wang Ziyuan from the Wang Family, known as “Friendship Flower,” also noticed the members of the Lu Family, looked at Lu Li not far away, and flashed a sweet smile.

This left Lu Li somewhat puzzled; the two had no real interaction.

Just then, seeing that most people had arrived, the elder on the stage solemnly announced, “Thank you all esteemed cultivators for gracing this event; the Treasure Pavilion’s once-in-five-years auction now officially starts.”

“Same old rules apply, no malicious threats against other cultivators, no disrupting the order of the venue. Violators will be expelled by Treasure Pavilion, and severe cases will result in direct punitive action.”

The elder exerted a sudden surge of energy forward; his Qi Refinement full completion cultivation made some of the attendees shiver.

Seeing the timing was right, the elder retracted his aura and smiled at the crowd, “The first item in this auction, a top-level Fire attribute high-grade Flying Sword called Fire Rainbow Sword, the starting bid is one thousand five hundred Spirit Stones, with each bid increment not less than one hundred Spirit Stones.”

As the elder’s voice fell, a beautiful female cultivator carrying an elegantly crafted redwood tray came from behind.
