Chapter 46 Cultivation Resources Gradually Gaining Recognition
The old man was wearing a large yellow robe. It was embroidered with clusters of flowers, yet it appeared perfectly orderly.
His gray hair was neatly combed; he was of medium build, slightly overweight, and had a dignified appearance.
However, his eyes looked too small, which ruined the overall look of his facial features.
If you don't know his personality and character, it's easy to misunderstand him as a mean and sarcastic person.
Prince Xuexing suddenly added, "My promise also includes the waiters here!"
Upon hearing Xue Xing's words, Dugu Yan, emboldened by her favored status, spat out, "Grandpa, why aren't you saying anything? Grandpa Prince is going to corrupt Lin Hao!"
As Dugu Yan spoke, she glanced enviously at the waitress's chest. It was indeed quite large.
The waiters here can be bought and sold.
If someone takes a liking to a particular waiter, they can buy him/her out of their own pocket.
However, the price is very high, reaching 100,000 gold soul coins.
Prince Xuexing smiled, his sharp eyes already seeing through Dugu Yan's girlish thoughts.
To everyone's surprise, Lin Hao said, "Thank you for your kindness. I want to purchase the items myself!"
You refused?
Prince Xuexing stared blankly.
He was rejected!
He was the Emperor's younger brother, the most esteemed prince in the empire. Countless people wanted to curry favor with him, but Lin Hao refused all the offers he made.
Slightly taken aback, Prince Xuexing wasn't angry. He said humbly, "Alright, I like people who earn their own living. If you don't have enough money, I can lend it to you!"
"it is good."
Faced with Prince Xuexing's renewed offer, Lin Hao did not coldly reject it outright.
His ambition lies in spiritual practice.
Douluo Continent is not his stage; he hopes to ascend to the God Realm in the future.
Prince Xue Xing and the Heaven Dou Empire are now bound together. In the future, with wars erupting across the continent, the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire will become mortal enemies.
At that time, anyone who forms a bond with Prince Snowstar will inevitably be dragged into the vortex of war.
The Spirit Hall has its reasons for existing, and the Heaven Dou Empire is not wrong either.
It's difficult to definitively say what is right and wrong in this world.
Lin Hao simply ignored it. He didn't want to be entangled with either side. His focus remained on cultivation, hoping to one day ascend to the God Realm.
"Welcome to the Heavenly Dou Auction House!"
While waiting, the host walked onto the central stage.
"We're all old acquaintances, so I won't waste time with unnecessary pleasantries. Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend the Tiandou Auction House's anniversary auction. Without further ado, let's get straight to the point!"
As the host waved his hand, a stunningly dressed waitress walked onto the central stage carrying a tray in both hands.
The tray was covered with a red cloth, obscuring the contents. A faint fragrance wafted through the air.
"First, the first item to be auctioned."
As the host finished speaking, he reached out and pulled off the red cloth on the silver plate, revealing the colorful stones.
"What is this?"
"It smells so good!"
"Just smelling it can get you excited. It's amazing!"
The first item up for auction successfully captured the attention of the VIPs.
Dugu Yan noticed Lin Hao's hand trembling slightly and asked curiously, "Boss, do you know what it is?"
Despite his best efforts to suppress his excitement, Lin Hao's body betrayed him. He nodded slightly.
Dugu Bo asked, "What is that?"
With Dugu Bo's experience, he couldn't tell what that colorful, solid, waxy lump was.
Lin Hao said, "Dragon's Dew!"
"Huh?" Dugu Bo thought he had misheard and asked Lin Hao again.
Lin Hao repeated, "Dragon Descends!"
"That's right, someone in the audience has already recognized this auction item. Yes, it's the Dragon's Lacquer!"
"Whoosh!"
As soon as the host finished speaking, the audience erupted in uproar.
Most people wore mocking expressions. A small minority, however, calmly stared at the auction items on the silver tray.
Dragon's Saliva, also known as ambergris.
Lin Hao obtained some ambergris when he killed the evil spirit master. The highest quality ambergris is milky white.
The ambergris being auctioned on the central stage is seven-colored and is considered a legendary celestial item.
The host allowed everyone to vent their frustrations. Only after everyone had quieted down did he continue speaking.
"Ladies and gentlemen, according to our auction house's appraisers, it is at least ten thousand years old. Looking across the entire continent, this is probably the only one of its kind. It is multicolored, very beautiful, and has a wonderfully fragrant aroma; even placing it in a room will enhance the fragrance and invigorate the spirit!"
Because dragon's excrement is sperm whale excrement, it has a very bad origin, and the host cleverly never mentioned its name again.
"First item, starting bid: 10,000 Gold Soul Coins. Minimum bid increment: 1,000 Gold Soul Coins. Bidding begins now!"
silence!
You could hear a pin drop in the auction center.
Most of the audience members smiled, waiting to see the bidders make a fool of themselves.
There are no spectators sitting in the white and yellow seats today. Those invited to the anniversary auction are all prominent figures.
They have status, and they also care about their image.
They would feel ashamed to spend money to buy animal excrement.
With no one bidding, the host looked slightly embarrassed.
If it weren't for the rare iridescent colors of ambergris, it wouldn't be worthy of being featured in the anniversary auction.
Lin Hao suppressed his excitement.
He deliberately didn't immediately place a bid, intentionally observing the reactions of everyone present.
Lin Hao was very satisfied with the reactions of others.
The exquisite ambergris is right in front of us, yet there are very few connoisseurs who truly appreciate it.
Next to each seat, there is a dedicated button for calling out prices.
There are four different buttons on it: 100, 1000, 10,000, and 100,000, representing the price for each additional payment.
Lin Hao reached out his hand, just about to press the purple button for 1,000, when a voice suddenly came from the central stage.
"Eleven thousand!"
Lin Hao was taken aback; someone was actually willing to pay a price to buy "Dragon's Dew".
"Twelve thousand!"
After deliberately hesitating for a short while, giving the impression that he was thinking, Lin Hao pressed the purple "Thousand" button.

PS: Finally finished writing, finally I can go to sleep.
Here I'd like to share some insights from my lottery research.
I keep seeing messages about winning prizes lately.
The shopkeeper didn't know if the prize was real or not, because he had never won a major prize of 3000 or more in China. His highest win was only 200 once.
I've been researching this for several days, but haven't come up with anything.
It's all about feeling; the lottery is all about luck.
Each has its own way of playing; the shopkeeper's method is to guard the account.
A reminder to everyone: be rational when buying lottery tickets; winning or losing is entirely a matter of luck.
Finally, I wish everyone all the best, and may you win every time you scratch a lottery ticket or buy something.
Even though everyone knows it's impossible to win the lottery, life always needs something to look forward to, even if it's a dream that can never be realized in a lifetime. Doesn't that make sense?
