My Simulated Road to Immortality Chapter 738: 702

Chapter 738: 702

The crowd below began to stir upon hearing this.

A fat-bellied middle-aged cultivator even rose directly, looking at Jiao Xiuyuan, and arrogantly said: “I don’t believe it. As long as the price is high enough, is there anything that can’t be bought? Ten million contribution points. Is that enough?! If not, let’s add more!”

Before Jiao Xiuyuan could answer, someone in the crowd immediately sneered, “Oh, isn’t this fellow Daoist Zhu Yuhua from the Heavenly Pivot Province? I heard you are quite extravagant, so why are you only bidding ten million contribution points? Who are you looking down on?”

“Heh, with such a small bid, are you trying to buy the [Celestial Spirit True Flower]? I think those imitation copies are well-suited for you!”

…

Zhu Yuhua’s face changed slightly, looking at the few prominent figures who had spoken out. Ten million contribution points was indeed not a large sum for them.

He swallowed back his complaints. Just as Zhu Yuhua was about to raise his bid, Jiao Xiuyuan took the initiative to step forward and play the peacemaker.

“Gentlemen, gentlemen…”

He raised his voice a few notches, once again attracting the crowd’s attention.

“The master of the Heavenly Spirit Flower is an extremely free-spirited individual. His appearance and demeanor are unmatched in my life experience. Of course, he is absolutely reluctant to sell the world’s only Heavenly Spirit Flower.”

“However…” Jiao Xiuyuan quickly changed his tone.

“He also realizes that such a rare flower, if always kept in a high place for only a handful of people to appreciate, would in itself be a disrespect. After my persuasion, he eventually found a compromise.”

Jiao Xiuyuan paused, then announced: “While still not for sale, this [Celestial Spirit True Flower] can be “rented” out!”

“If any fellow Daoists are interested, you may stay and I will explain in detail.”
