Chapter 139: Chapter 112: A Wealthy Deal, Everyone Shocked

Magical Artifacts like these were the most popular. After all, not every Cultivator was a peerless genius or an unparalleled prodigy.

For the slightly more ordinary young talents, the temptation of such an item was even greater. Even the elders of major factions would pay a steep price to buy an Upper Spirit Magical Artifact for their descendants.

In Tang Cheng’s eyes, this wasn’t just a Magical Artifact; it was a mountain of gold.

And when they learned that all these items came from the ancient ruins, Tang Xin Yi, Leng Tianlin, and the others were utterly petrified.

"How did you manage to obtain so many terrifying treasures?"

As soon as those words were spoken, everyone snapped their heads toward the figure, their minds reeling in shock.

Could it be that the person before them wasn’t just an Alchemy Master infinitely close to becoming a Tier Three Pill Master, but also an incredibly terrifying, unparalleled prodigy?

Just how terrifying of a prodigy would one have to be to seize so many priceless treasures from an ocean of young talents?

Seeing the shock on their faces, Jiang Hao, who was gradually getting used to such reactions, immediately said, "In that case, I’ll have to trouble you to do an inventory check so we can complete the transaction right away."

"Good, excellent! I’ll have my people come and count everything right now."

Before long, several staff members from the Tiancheng Auction House arrived at Booth Five.

When they saw the densely packed array of Cultivation Techniques and martial skills, their eyes widened in absolute shock.

Two hours later.

"Elder, the inventory is complete.

"There are three thousand, seven hundred and eighty-one items in total.

"Among them are six hundred and two Upper Spirit Magical Artifacts. This includes twenty-eight Upper Spirit Ninth Grade Spiritual Artifacts, fifty-two Upper Spirit Eighth Grade Spiritual Artifacts, fifty-seven Upper Spirit Seventh Grade Magical Artifacts, one hundred and sixty-three Upper Spirit Sixth Grade Spiritual Artifacts, and three hundred and two Upper Spirit Fifth Grade Spiritual Artifacts.

"Additionally, there are one hundred and six Celestial Tier Techniques and martial skills, seven hundred and ninety-one Profound Tier Techniques and martial skills, sixteen Tier Five Pill Formulas, sixty-seven Tier Four Pill Formulas, three hundred and twenty-five Tier Three Pill Formulas, as well as Array Dao Manuals... Secret Techniques... Dragon Soul Grass..."

The voices of those in charge of the inventory trembled as they reported the final numbers.

After all, for a Great Cultivation Race like the Qi Family in the Earth Realm of Xingyue City, their defining legacy skills were merely Profound Tier Techniques. Yet here, there were a staggering seven hundred and ninety-one Profound Tier Techniques and martial skills. Not to mention the over one hundred Celestial Tier Techniques and martial skills!

"My God!"

"Unbelievable!"

"Who exactly is this person? How could he obtain such terrifying fortune?"

The more one managed to extract from the ancient ruins, the more it proved their sheer, terrifying power! For a young talent to acquire so many priceless treasures from the ruins, their strength had to be beyond imagination.

With the inventory completed, the Cultivators from the Tiancheng Auction House provided the total appraisal.

"If we process this transaction at a rate slightly below market price as per auction house standards, the total amount payable to this young master should be...

"Thirty-six million, seven hundred and eighty-four thousand, six hundred and twenty-eight Low-grade Spirit Stones.

"If converted to Middle-grade Spirit Stones, it comes to roughly three hundred and sixty-seven thousand, eight hundred and forty-six. After deducting the exchange fee, the final payout would be three hundred and sixty-seven thousand.

"If converted to High-grade Spirit Stones, it would be three thousand."

The moment these figures were announced, the entire booth fell completely, deathly silent.

Ultimately, Jiang Hao opted to exchange his haul for one thousand, five hundred High-grade Spirit Stones and one hundred and eighty-three thousand, five hundred Middle-grade Spirit Stones, with the remainder covering the service fee.

As for Low-grade Spirit Stones, Jiang Hao didn’t even consider them. Not only did they take up too much space, but they were practically meaningless to him now.

However, Tang Cheng couldn’t instantly mobilize such a massive sum.

They could only pay Jiang Hao the one hundred and eighty-three thousand, five hundred Middle-grade Spirit Stones upfront. The High-grade Spirit Stones would be available for pickup in three days.

Watching Jiang Hao pocket the massive fortune of Middle-grade Spirit Stones, Tang Cheng practically cried tears of joy.

"Young Master, please leave your name here as a credential for future transactions, as well as proof for when you return in three days to collect your High-grade Spirit Stones.

"Of course, you don’t have to use your real name. An alias is perfectly fine."

Taking the pen from Tang Cheng, Jiang Hao didn’t hesitate. With a sweeping gesture, he left behind a line of bold, vigorous characters—Xingyue City Earth Realm, Jiang Hao!

As they watched the youth depart, everyone immediately crowded around the desk, eager to see what information he had left behind.

But the moment they saw that line of text, everyone was stunned into silence.
