When Yuan Ming heard the final price of the auction item, a faint smile appeared on his face as he shifted his palm away slightly from the bidding token he had just used.

To many, 3,000 spirit stones might not be considered high for a thousand-year-old spirit wood, but it was no small sum either—almost the entire fortune of an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator, enough to exchange for at least two top-grade magical tools.
To most people, the Water Crown Tree spirit wood seemed quite superfluous. Most cultivators, after some consideration, would not make a bid.
