Chapter 261: The Green Wood Seeds
"The seeds of the Green Wood Origin Tree?"
When this peculiar item was announced, most people in the coliseum showed looks of confusion, clearly unfamiliar with it. On stage, Song Tai held up a bag filled with vivid green seeds, faintly emanating a unique energy.
"The Green Wood Origin Tree is a rare, naturally occurring spirit tree. For warriors who practice wood-based martial arts, it's an invaluable treasure. This bag contains over a hundred seeds, and with proper cultivation, they can grow into a forest rich in vital energy—certainly worth the price," Song Tai said in a calm voice, seeming unconcerned about the item's reception.
He needn't have worried. As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of many warriors in the arena lit up. In Tianxuan Continent, unlike the Douqi Continent, energy types weren't inherited at birth. Instead, they varied based on martial arts training. For instance, a practitioner of fire-based martial arts would find their energy brimming with fire, while a lightning practitioner would have energy filled with electricity.
These Green Wood Origin Tree seeds held little appeal for most, but for wood-element warriors, they were priceless. Imagine training in a grove of Green Wood Origin Trees! For wood-element martial artists, both their training speed and alignment with their techniques would skyrocket.
"Starting bid for the Green Wood seeds: 500,000 Nirvana pills."
The price sent ripples through the audience. Many couldn't believe seeds could cost so much. Yet Song Tai remained indifferent, knowing the seeds' true value to certain buyers.
The arena buzzed with murmurs, but soon Lin Langtian's calm voice broke through, "600,000 Nirvana pills."
Immediately, all eyes were on him, the new Heavenly List-ranked fighter. Many were puzzled: hadn't he received the Vermillion Bird's fiery inheritance? Why would he want Green Wood seeds? But those who knew more had a different reaction, their eyes flashing as they considered.
They had heard rumors that Lin Langtian seized the inheritance of the Wood Emperor Sect in the northeastern region, right from the jaws of the Great Zhao Dynasty. While many doubted this rumor, seeing him bid on Green Wood seeds lent it more credibility. The heads of the other top dynasties exchanged curious glances. Had he really provoked all these super dynasties on purpose, or was he simply overconfident?
Unfazed by the varied glances around him, Lin Langtian wore a calm expression, as if he couldn't care less. Only a few people knew he'd obtained the Wood Emperor Sect's inheritance, so revealing it now didn't concern him. His strength was more than enough to handle any challengers.
After his initial bid, others who practiced wood-element martial arts started to join in. But Lin Langtian matched each bid with an extra 100,000 Nirvana pills. Within five minutes, the price skyrocketed to a million Nirvana pills. By then, no one dared compete with such deep pockets.
However, just as Lin Langtian was about to bid again, a faint voice from the front row echoed: "1.1 million Nirvana pills."
The speaker was Feng Cang of the Fengyun Dynasty. He glanced back at Lin Langtian, the hint of a mocking smile at the corner of his lips. Lin Langtian's eyes narrowed, a glint of hostility flashing through them. Keeping his composure, he replied coldly, "1.5 million."
Gasps spread through the crowd. Paying 1.5 million Nirvana pills for seeds? It was extravagance beyond belief.
Feng Cang chuckled darkly. "Quite the generous young hero, this recipient of the Four Great Sects' inheritance. Take them if you wish." Smirking, he waved his hand as if bowing out.
Ignoring Feng Cang, Lin Langtian simply retrieved a Qiankun bag from his sleeve and tossed it onto the stage. Song Tai gave it a quick look, nodded, and flicked the bag of Green Wood seeds over to Lin Langtian.
"That man is awful!" Su Rou huffed indignantly, clearly irritated by Feng Cang's interference, which had cost Lin Langtian an extra 600,000 Nirvana pills.
Lin Langtian only murmured coolly, "Don't worry. Soon, he'll be a dead man."
Jinwu's handsome face hardened, his eyes flashing with malice. "Brother, leave him to me. You needn't bother."
Lin Langtian nodded, then closed his eyes, awaiting the next interesting item. Ten minutes later, he placed another bid, spending 2 million Nirvana pills on a rare spirit fruit called the Equilibrium Fruit.
While the Equilibrium Fruit didn't offer significant benefits to most Nirvana-level warriors—who typically only wielded one type of energy—it was invaluable to Life and Death stage warriors. Many at that stage suffered as their bodies struggled to balance the opposing forces of life and death within them, often leading to their physical collapse.
Although the Equilibrium Fruit wasn't necessary for Lin Langtian thanks to the Golden Spirit Mirror, he bought it for Su Rou. Her body harbored a powerful spirit seal, making the fruit perfect for her needs. Now that she and her brother Su Kui had joined Yan Alliance, Lin Langtian had no reason to withhold it.
"Thank you, Brother Lin," Su Rou said, her voice soft with gratitude. She was deeply moved by his thoughtfulness; besides her own family, he was the first person to show her such warmth and care.
As she gazed at Lin Langtian, his image etched itself into her heart, becoming an indelible memory.
