"After two months of waiting, the auction finally begins!"
"Yeah, I heard that there will be ten Foundation Establishment Pills released at this auction. I must grab one!"
"I don't dare to think about the Foundation Establishment Pill. It will definitely be priced very high. I can only get a Foundation Establishment Spiritual Item!"
“…”
Chen Changsheng mingled with the crowd and entered the auction.
This time, he didn't have to follow the Qi-cultivating monks to squeeze into the hall. As a foundation-building monk and a native of Sanyang City, it was very easy for him to get a private room.
"Senior Chen, this is your private room. A special maid will be here to serve you shortly. If you are dissatisfied with anything, please let me know!"
A manager of the auction led Chen Changsheng to a private room.
"Okay, go ahead and get busy!"
Chen Changsheng nodded and looked around the box casually.
The room was not big, only about ten square meters, and there were several kinds of spiritual fruits placed on a desk.
After a while, a female Qigong practitioner Yingying entered the box and respectfully saluted Chen Changsheng, saying, "Junior Tiantian, greetings to Senior Chen!"
"Why are you here? The auction house really spent a fortune to invite you guys here!"
Seeing the person coming, Chen Changsheng couldn't help but laugh.
Tiantian is her stage name. She's from the Hua Man Lou (Flower House) in Sanyang City. Chen Changsheng once had a long conversation with this sweet fairy all night long...
"It's really Senior Chen! When I heard the steward say that, I was a little skeptical..."
"How come after entering the foundation-building stage, senior, you never come to see us sisters again?" Tiantian said, leaning forward and gently taking off her clothes, charming and charming...
"I'm just busy practicing. Tiantian, why are you here?"
Chen Changsheng is not a saint either. Besides, they are old acquaintances. What is there to pretend about?
He just hugged Tiantian in his arms and touched her all over...
Why do we want immortality?
Isn’t it just to enjoy life?
Chen Changsheng never thought there was anything wrong with indulging in sensual pleasures, as long as it didn't delay his important work.
"Don't you know? This is arranged by the auction. They booked all of us and divided us into different boxes... Hehe, this is a benefit for you big guys!" Tiantian said with a giggle.
"Benefits... I really don't know about this. The auctions in the world of immortal cultivation are really fun..." Chen Changsheng said speechlessly.
"So, do you want it?" Tiantian raised her head and gently stroked Chen Changsheng's face with her fingers...
"What do you think?"
“…”

"We are very happy to welcome all our fellow practitioners from Yuezhou to gather at the grand auction in Sanyang City..."
"You all know the rules. As always, the highest bidder wins. You are not allowed to threaten others to bid in any way. Otherwise, you will be an enemy of our Sanyang City. The auction is now officially underway. Please welcome the auctioneer!"
After the clichéd speech, the auctioneer came on stage.
"Everyone, I think you have all read the auction brochure, right? In addition to the items in the auction brochure, we have temporarily added some items to the auction at the request of fellow Taoists. You can choose as you see fit!"
"Now we begin the auction of the first item, the top-grade spiritual weapon, the Skyfire Cauldron!"
"This cauldron is forged entirely from red fire copper, with a small amount of red fire copper essence added. It has both offensive and defensive capabilities, and can also be used as an alchemy cauldron..."
"The starting price for this item is three thousand spirit stones, and each bid must be no less than one hundred spirit stones!"
"Four thousand spirit stones!"
The auctioneer had barely finished speaking when Chen Changsheng made his bid, raising it from three thousand to four thousand...
"Senior, you can just increase the price by one hundred spirit stones at a time. Why did you directly increase it by one thousand?" Tiantian asked.
"Haha, to intimidate them!" Chen Changsheng said with a faint smile.
A small increase in price can actually make people more addicted. If you attend more auctions, you will naturally understand this.
Chen Changsheng hadn't attended many auctions, but his experiences in his previous life had given him a lot of knowledge beyond the reach of ordinary people...
"The bid for box 143 is 4,000 spirit stones. Is there a higher bid than this?" the auctioneer asked excitedly.
"Four thousand one hundred spirit stones..."
After a few breaths of time, someone added a hundred spirit stones...
"Five thousand spirit stones!" Chen Changsheng said again.
"Well, the senior in box 143 is really generous. Five thousand spirit stones. The price of the Red Fire Cauldron is five thousand spirit stones now. Is there any higher price than this?" The auctioneer danced on the podium and said excitedly.
"Five thousand one hundred spirit stones!"
"Six thousand spirit stones!" Chen Changsheng continued.
"Junior sister, do you want to continue adding?"
The man who called out the 5,100 spirit stones looked at the woman beside him...
"Forget it. This person is raising the price too high. It's obvious that he is determined to get it. Let's give this tripod to him. The auction is still early, and there will definitely be more good things later!" The woman hesitated for a moment and then said.
"Okay, Junior Sister, I think so too. This man is very rich and powerful, there is no need to compete with him..." The man nodded.
"Six thousand spirit stones, congratulations to box 143 for winning the opening prize!" the auctioneer shouted at the top of his voice.
"For six thousand spirit stones, I bought a top-grade spirit tool, and it's also an alchemy furnace. What a profit!"
When the Red Fire Cauldron was delivered, Chen Changsheng directly took out six thousand spirit stones and paid on the spot!
"Senior, you are really rich. Six thousand spirit stones... It's almost enough to redeem me..." Tiantian looked at Chen Changsheng in a delicate voice.
For Tiantian, being able to follow a wealthy and powerful Foundation Establishment Master would be something she could have wished for!
What a pity...
Chen Changsheng did not answer...
Six thousand spirit stones were nothing to him. He now had almost a hundred thousand spirit stones on him!
But the key point is, why should Tiantian be redeemed?
Just because of this one night of joy?
It's just a transaction between a client and a prostitute...
"Now we are going to auction the fifth item. It's a pair of twin fairies at the fourth level of Qi training, with low-grade water-attributed spiritual roots. The starting price is 500 spirit stones, and each bid must be increased by no less than 50 spirit stones!"
As the auctioneer finished speaking, a pair of sisters appeared on the podium. They looked almost identical, wearing gauze so thin it was practically transparent. They had clearly never experienced anything like this before, and their shyness stained their skin with a red hue, making them even more alluring...
"No way, why are cultivators being auctioned?" Chen Changsheng asked in surprise.
"Isn't this normal? Why is Senior Chen surprised?" Tiantian said.
"Normal?" Chen Changsheng was stunned...
"Yes, and they all came voluntarily, not forced by the auction house!" Tiantian said.
"How could someone voluntarily sell himself?" Chen Changsheng asked puzzledly.
"For spirit stones, for life, for faster cultivation... anything is possible..."
"Back then, my father sold me to Hua Manlou because he wanted to collect spiritual medicine for my younger brother's foundation... I was only seven years old that year, and my father sold me for 230 spiritual stones..." Tiantian said, her eyes a little blurry...
It had been so long that she had forgotten what her father looked like...
