Chapter 388: Twin Heart Leaf

"Everyone must be aware of this spirit plant. Consuming it alone can increase a person's lifespan. The amount of lifespan added varies greatly depending on the Martial Artist, but it can increase it by at least ten years.

How many Spirit Stone is ten years of lifespan actually worth?" Auctioneer Ping Ru said seductively, "The starting price is 50 million High-Grade Spirit Stone. The auction begins now."

Qin Ming shook his head. No one here knew the true function of the Green Bamboo Leaf; increasing lifespan was merely one of its byproducts.

Medicinal Pill refined using Green Bamboo Leaf could increase lifespan by fifty years even if it were Low Grade. If it were a perfect elixir, it could increase it by at least two hundred years.

Of course, this effect only works once and cannot be stacked.

"70 million." A loud voice came from the adjacent private box.

"80 million."

"100 million."

Seeing that the price had not changed for a quarter of an hour, Auctioneer Ping Ru tempted them, saying, "It can increase lifespan by at least ten years. Can mere Spirit Stone compare to increasing one's lifespan? Once a person is dead, what use is keeping Spirit Stone? Nothing is more valuable than lifespan, right!"

"110 million," someone else said.

"150 million," Qin Ming said directly. He bid high immediately to scare off those Martial Artist who were still hesitating.

As expected, after Qin Ming placed his bid, no one raised the price for a long time.

Auctioneer Ping Ru helplessly began to count, "One, two… three."

"Clap."

"Congratulations on obtaining the precious ninth-grade spirit plant, the Green Bamboo Leaf." Auctioneer Ping Ru smiled slightly towards Qin Ming's private box and then continued to auction the next item, "The next auction item is the Emerald Cloud Saber crafted by Great Master Luoge. The starting price is…"

Qin Ming held his teacup, waiting for the spirit plant to arrive.

Soon, a maid delivered the spirit plant. After Qin Ming finished paying the Spirit Stone, the maid left.

Touching the Green Bamboo Leaf in his hand, Qin Ming felt as if he were stroking the skin of his beloved.

Carefully placing it into his space ring, Qin Ming continued to pay attention to the auction floor.

In the subsequent auctions, several eighth-grade spirit plants and over a hundred seventh-grade spirit plants were auctioned together. Qin Ming spent a total of 200 million High-Grade Spirit Stone to acquire all of these spirit plants.

"Apart from missing two ninth-grade spirit plants, there is only one type of eighth-grade spirit plant left for the heart mending pill."

Qin Ming sorted through the spirit plants in his space ring and calculated carefully, feeling a surge of joy in his heart.

"However, I have gathered all the spirit plants needed to remove the poison from Master's Poison Dragon Pill."

Originally, Qin Ming intended to search for the spirit plants for the heart mending pill as much as possible, but ninth-grade spirit plants were simply too rare. Now, he had just happened to gather the ingredients to refine 'king luos intoxication', an eighth-grade detoxification pill.

"Anyway, I am confident that I can refine ten heart mending pill. I can completely give Master 'king luos intoxication' first. Once the heart mending pill is successfully refined, I can then directly give it to Master to repair the Dantian in his body."

The poison in Master Azure Flame's body had always been a worry for Qin Ming. Now that he had gathered the spirit plants, Qin Ming was naturally happy.

If it weren't for the possibility of more spirit plants appearing in the auction later, Qin Ming would have left by now.

Auctioneer Ping Ru said, "We have now reached the final auction. Today's grand finale is a ninth-grade spirit plant, the 'Twin-born'."

Qin Ming, who had been absent-minded, perked up upon hearing 'ninth-grade spirit plant', his eyes staring intently at the floor below.

The spirit plant miraculously had two main veins, intertwined yet separated, just like a pair of lovers snuggling together, appearing dreamlike under the lights.

"Twin Heart Leaf." Qin Ming narrowed his eyes, wild joy in his heart.

Today's harvest was truly massive. Isn't this the other spirit plant he had been dreaming of for refining the heart mending pill?

If he won this spirit plant, there would only be one ninth-grade spirit plant and one eighth-grade spirit plant left, and the spirit plants needed for the heart mending pill would be gathered.

This spirit plant was not called 'Twin-born' at all, but rather Twin Heart Leaf, a type of spirit plant that grows in ten-thousand-year-old permafrost.
