Longevity Martial Arts: Grinding Experience in the Chaotic World novel Chapter 488

Chapter 488: Chapter 268: Spending Lavishly

"This distinguished guest is truly magnificent, with such a love for medicines and elixirs, it is truly admirable."

Miss Mu Tiantian spoke eloquently on stage, her voice sweet and enchanting.

Gu Sheng smiled faintly, indifferent.

He knew in his heart that these medicines and elixirs were of great help to his cultivation, so he naturally wouldn’t miss any opportunity.

At this moment, an auction item caught Gu Sheng’s attention.

It was a seemingly ordinary jade box, but when the box was opened, a rich spiritual energy rushed forth.

The Qingvine Demon Soul within Gu Sheng’s body instantly became active, as if harboring a strong interest in the item within the jade box.

"This is the Thousand-Year Ice Essence Flower, a rare treasure in the world, greatly beneficial to those who practice ice-attributed cultivation techniques," Miss Mu Tiantian introduced.

A gleam of excitement flashed in Gu Sheng’s eyes, as he sensed the Qingvine Demon Soul’s intense craving for the Thousand-Year Ice Essence Flower. Without hesitation, he bid, "Three hundred thousand taels of gold!"

At his words, the venue fell silent.

Everyone looked at Gu Sheng in shock, as if seeing a madman.

But Gu Sheng didn’t care, his gaze fixed on the Thousand-Year Ice Essence Flower within the jade box, as if ready to claim it.

After a fierce bidding war, Gu Sheng finally secured the Thousand-Year Ice Essence Flower at an astronomical price.

He was secretly elated; this Thousand-Year Ice Essence Flower would greatly benefit the growth of his Qingvine Demon Soul. The auction was indeed fruitful.

At the end of the auction, Gu Sheng and Mu Yuanyuan raised their glasses in celebration.

The two clinked glasses frequently, leaning against each other, whispering sweet nothings.

Mu Yuanyuan wore a blissful smile on her face, while Gu Sheng felt a sense of contentment and joy.

The Jianghu isn’t just about fighting; there’s human connection, romance, and the beauty of life.

As they left the auction, Linghu Qingwan, Lin Miaomiao, Huang Miaoyin, and Princess Zishuang all gathered on the spot, asking Gu Sheng to take them out for fun.

The group left the auction, surrounded by ladies, and Gu Sheng instantly became the center of attention.

Linghu Qingwan, Lin Miaomiao, Huang Miaoyin, Princess Zishuang, along with the two sisters from the Mu family — six enchanting beauties gathered together, enviable to others. Even Liu Ruhai followed closely, as if afraid to miss this rare opportunity.

"Brother Sheng, where shall we go for some fun?"

Liu Ruhai patted Gu Sheng on the shoulder, grinning cheekily as he asked.

Gu Sheng smiled slightly, his gaze gliding over the ladies, momentarily hesitating to decide.

Seeing this, Linghu Qingwan suggested, "How about we go hunting? It would allow us to exercise and enjoy the thrill of the hunt."

Princess Zishuang shook her head, saying, "Hunting is too cliché. I know a good place — the Royal Hunting Grounds, where the scenery is picturesque. Hunting while enjoying the view, isn’t it wonderful?"

The plants visibly became lush and leafy, flowers blooming and falling, petals filling the sky, seasons turning as if mastering the secrets of space and time.

The ladies watched in awe, showering praises incessantly. Linghu Qingwan, Huang Miaoyin, Lin Miaomiao, Princess Zishuang, and Shangguan Yudie were all captivated by Gu Sheng’s magical skills.

Even the playboy Liu Ruhai watched, slack-jawed, looking at Gu Sheng with immense admiration, nearly kneeling in worship.

"Brother Gu, you’re truly divine!" Liu Ruhai marveled.

Gu Sheng smiled faintly and said, "Just a simple trick, really."

The group happily performed and barbecued, eating and playing joyfully — this unique collective entertainment activity almost became a grand celebration, immersing everyone in a joyous atmosphere.

Refined yet enjoyable for all.

Amidst the laughter and chatter of the garden activities, Princess Zishuang assigned Gu Sheng a more important task.

According to the Sky Net Organization’s report, the hiding place of the Dragon Pearl had finally shown a clue.

Gu Sheng, along with Lin Tianhao, Lin Qingyu, and the guide from the Sky Net Organization, Lu Biluo, embarked on this journey filled with unknowns and dangers.

In the heartlands of Chu Country, with its endless mountains and hidden mysteries.

The four quietly infiltrated Chu Country’s treasure secret realm using stealth techniques, soundless and without a trace.
