Chapter 389: You Are a Talent

"The Twin spirit plant has two main veins. If consumed by two people with the same Bloodline, they will develop a telepathic connection. As long as their Realm is the same, their martial arts cultivation Mental State can complement each other."

"Even for the greatest hurdle for a Martial King to Breakthrough to Martial Emperor—comprehending Momentum—the Twin spirit plant is of great help. Such an important spirit plant, buying it back is equivalent to buying two future Martial Emperors." The Auctioneer Ping Ru said in a voice full of temptation.

Qin Ming thought to himself that this Twin Heart Leaf really did have this function. Although the conditions were harsh—requiring the same Bloodline, the same Realm, and high Talent for both people to double the chance of comprehending Momentum and potentially advancing to Martial Emperor—it was far inferior compared to directly consuming a Medicinal Pill to comprehend Momentum.

However, in the Yuan Continent, there were many Medicinal Pills that could help one comprehend Momentum, and Martial Emperors were not that precious. But the Qian Continent was completely different; the highest martial arts cultivation here was estimated to be only a Martial Venerable.

A Martial Emperor was only one level lower than a Martial Venerable and was truly the backbone of a Family. One could imagine just how precious this Twin Heart Leaf was.

"This…" Qin Ming rubbed his ring. He had never considered this issue before. In the Yuan Continent, he always refined spirit plants into Medicinal Pills and never considered the effects of consuming spirit plants directly.

He was the strongest Pill Emperor in the Yuan Continent, capable of refining any ninth-grade spirit plant. The effect of consuming a spirit plant directly was far worse than when refined into a Medicinal Pill, so how could he possibly care about the efficacy of consuming spirit plants directly!

And since the effect of this Twin Heart Leaf was so important to the Qian Continent, would it be auctioned off at an astronomical price?

The Auctioneer Ping Ru did not hesitate and said: "Everyone already knows the efficacy of the Twin spirit plant, so let the bidding begin. The starting price is two hundred million High-Grade Spirit Stones."

"Trouble." Qin Ming felt anxious inwardly. The starting price was already two hundred million; he didn't know what astronomical price it would reach later.

And now he only had five hundred and twenty million High-Grade Spirit Stones on hand. He didn't know if that would be enough.

"Come here." Qin Ming said loudly.

The maid waiting outside pushed open the door, bowed, and asked: "Sir, what are your instructions?"

"Go call Yang Quan and tell him that I, Green Cliff Elder, am looking for him." Qin Ming said.

"Is it the Yang Family's young patriarch, Young Master Yang Quan?" the maid confirmed.

Qin Ming nodded and said: "Yes."

"Please wait a moment." The maid closed the door and left.

Qin Ming began to wait patiently, and during the wait, the price of the Twin Heart Leaf climbed steadily, soon breaking the one billion mark.

After breaking one billion High-Grade Spirit Stones, the bidding for the Twin Heart Leaf slowed down significantly.

"Green Cliff Elder, you are looking for me?" Yang Quan pushed open the door to Qin Ming's private box and smiled.

"I want this spirit plant, but I only have five hundred and twenty million High-Grade Spirit Stones on hand. I would like to borrow some Spirit Stones from you. Is that convenient for you?" Qin Ming said directly.

The spirit plant below could be sold at any moment, and Qin Ming did not have time to delay.

"Fine." Yang Quan said. "Just place your bid, and I will cover the shortfall."

Qin Ming was stunned. Yang Quan was too straightforward. Wasn't he afraid that Qin Ming would run away after taking the spirit plant?

Glancing at Yang Quan, Qin Ming nodded and said: "I accept this favor."

Turning around, Qin Ming shouted loudly: "1.5 billion!"

As soon as Qin Ming's shout rang out, those who had originally wanted to bid all closed their mouths.

For 1.5 billion to buy a Twin spirit plant, they had to carefully consider the gains and losses in their hearts.

A moment later, seeing that no one continued to bid, the Auctioneer Ping Ru enticed them: "These are two Martial Emperors! The benefits created by two Martial Emperors cannot be compared to 1.5 billion High-Grade Spirit Stones. If your own son or woman becomes a Martial Emperor, their lifespan will greatly increase, and they can accompany you for many more years."

Unfortunately, the people present who could afford 1.5 billion High-Grade Spirit Stones were all very firm in their resolve and were not swayed by Ping Ru's enticement at all.

"One."

"Two."

"…"

The Auctioneer Ping Ru wished she could wait forever, but unfortunately, the Auction House had rules that required numbers to be reported within a specified time. She had waited until the limit and could not wait any longer.

"Three."

"Clap."

Ping Ru slammed the hammer onto the table, and Qin Ming's heart also settled down.

"Congratulations on winning the ninth-grade spirit plant, Twin Heart Leaf!"

Soon, the maid brought the spirit plant up. Qin Ming took the spirit plant and gave the five hundred and twenty million High-Grade Spirit Stones to the maid. At Yang Quan's signal, the maid bowed respectfully and retreated.

Qin Ming pushed the spirit plant into Yang Quan's arms and said: "Keep the spirit plant with you for now; I will bring enough Spirit Stones to retrieve it."

"No need." Yang Quan handed the spirit plant back to Qin Ming and said, "I trust you."

"Why?" Qin Ming looked into Yang Quan's eyes.

Yang Quan said: "Because you are a Talent.

Our Yang Family has many Alchemists, and also Pill King Alchemists, but we lack an Alchemist with Talent like you, sir.

I estimate that you, sir, already have the strength to Breakthrough to Pill King and become a Pill Emperor Realm Alchemist, right?"

A Pill Emperor who can refine perfect elixirs is not something that a mere billion High-Grade Spirit Stones can compare to.

"Good." Qin Ming smiled and took the spirit plant.

"Also this." Yang Quan handed over a token. The token was purple. "This is a four-star purple token; you, sir, are qualified to possess it."

Qin Ming took the purple token, left the auction venue, and headed straight for the Pill Shop.
