Down on the auction stage.
The Wine Daoist leisurely pulled out a jade box, her crimson lips slightly parted. Clad in a glamorous, seductive red dress, her figure was fully displayed. “This is one of the last two prime items.” the Wine Daoist chuckled, “The
Celestial Void Lotus, the main ingredient for concocting the Heaven-Eclipsing Pill. There’s no alternative at all. The starting bid is eight hundred middle-grade spirit stones, with each increment in bidding no less than fifty middle-grade spirit stones. Those interested can start bidding now.”
In the second-floor private box, Yu Baishan promptly bid, “One thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones!”
A middle-grade Spirit Stone was equivalent to a hundred low-grade Spirit Stones; in reality, the value was even a little more than that. Furthermore, they can only be exchanged in limited quantities at various power stores.
One thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones, that’s equal to hundred thousand low-grade Spirit Stones!
And the fact that the bidding unit is middle-grade Spirit Stones indicates that only middle-grade Spirit Stones could be used for trade.
Hearing Yu Baishan instantly add what amounted to twenty thousand low-grade Spirit Stones, some people on the second floor and some pseudo-Dan Realm and Core Formation Realm cultivators in the third-floor private boxes couldn’t help but raise their eyebrows. The price was truly set to a tee.
Forget it.
Some people in the second-floor private boxes thought about it and decided to abstain from bidding. The price was already nearing their limit.
However, those Core Formation Realm and pseudo-Dan Realm cultivators in the third floor wouldn’t easily give up. “One thousand fifty middle-grade stones.”
“One thousand one hundred.”
“One thousand one hundred fifty.”
Each bid was carefully made. When the price of the Celestial Void Lotus reached one thousand six hundred middle-grade spirit stones after the patriarch’s bid from Kaiyang Palace, the price no longer increased.
As for Yu Baishan who was the first to bid, he had not made another offer after the bid.
Watching the big powers like Kaiyang Palace, Sword City Qin Family, Xuanzhen Fairy Gate, Beast-Tamer Li family, Land Master Ma family, Pill Master Li family, and others vying for Celestial Void Lotus, Yu Baishan sighed and shook his head, “We can probably only secure a few auxiliary ingredients. Even if we managed to win the bidding for this Celestial Void Lotus, I doubt we’ll be able to leave the Inner Market unscathed.”
There are too many large powers.
On the third floor, there were five or six Core Formation Realm cultivators sitting, and even more pseudo-Dan Realm cultivators!
Even the Yu family seemed rather insignificant in comparison.
The number of practitioners at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm probably reaches dozens in this place.
Under these circumstances, how can the Yu family dare to stick their heads out?
“One thousand six hundred middle grade Spirit Stones, sold!” On the high platform, the Wine Daoist was pleased and waved her hand to put away the jade box of the Celestial Void Lotus. Then she brought out a top-grade magic artifact, “This is a premium-grade magic artifact known as the Eight-Sided Thunder Cauldron. It contains a void space that can accommodate endless thunderbolts to kill enemies. However, according to ancient records, this sacred cauldron is actually an alchemy cauldron. Using Purple Thunder for alchemy can improve the potency and quality of the pills.”
“It came from the ruins of the Golden Jade Fairy Gate. It is a rare ancient top-grade magic artifact.”
An old man in a third-floor private box frowned and said, “Brother Wine Daoist, to refine alchemical pills with Purple Thunder, first of all, you must be able to control and tame the power of Purple Thunder, right? Otherwise, it’s more likely to destroy the pill rather than refine it.”
The Wine Daoist just smiled at the words and nodded, “Taoist Friend Li is correct. The Thunderbolt power of this Eight-Sided Thunder Cauldron is a bit domineering. It is not easy to use Purple Thunder for alchemy.”
“But even if you don’t use it for alchemy, this is a top-grade magic artifact just by its ability to carry an army of thunderbolts.”
“So the starting price is one thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones, and each increase must not be less than a hundred middle-grade Spirit Stones.” Top-grade Alchemy Cauldron!
Looking at the Wine Daoist, Su Yu couldn’t help taking a deep breath. He wanted it.
But he simply couldn’t afford it.
Even Yu Baishan and other cultivators at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm were eagerly eyeing the palm-sized sacred cauldron in the hands of the Wine Daoist. This was a top-grade magic artifact after all.
If they could get it, they might even be able to challenge those at the pseudo-Dan Realm, right?
But at this moment, they all cautiously refrained from bidding.
A ninth level Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator carrying a top-grade magic artifact out of here would make him a magnet for trouble!
Forget pseudo-Dan Realm people, even a genuine Core Formation True Man might not be able to resist the temptation to knock him off.
The pseudo-Dan Realm on the third floor, however, were quite eager. Although the price was high, this Thunder Cauldron was indeed good. Even if it wasn’t used for alchemy, it would still be worth it.
“One thousand one hundred middle-grade Spirit Stones.”
“Qin family, add one hundred.”
“Hehe, then I, Li family, will join the fun, one thousand three hundred middle-grade Spirit Stones.”
Besides Kaiyang Palace, other large powers including pseudo-Dan Realms were willing to bid. However, once the price reached one thousand eight hundred middle-grade Spirit Stones, it didn’t go any higher, and it ended up being obtained by the Sword City Qin Family.
Su Yu was inwardly amazed. He thought, “The previous Celestial Void Lotus fetched one thousand six hundred middle-grade Spirit Stones, that is, about one hundred sixty to seventy thousand low-grade Spirit Stones.”
“Adding other auxiliary drugs, wouldn’t the production cost of a piece of Heaven-Eclipsing Pill be almost three hundred thousand low-grade Spirit Stones?”
Yu Baishan nearby heard this and slightly nodded, saying, “Almost, that’s why the Heaven-Eclipsing Pill is difficult to come by. Even a loose cultivator can accumulate enough Foundation Establishment Pill materials over two to three decades.’
“But the Heaven-Eclipsing Pill, even if it’s our Yu family, it might not be possible to accumulate enough materials in fifty years or even a hundred years.”
“Besides Spirit Stones, this also involves power. Without power, even if you get the Celestial Void Lotus, it’s a curse rather than a blessing.”
“Of course, if no one else knows about it, then that would be another matter.’
Seeing the Eight-Sided Thunder Cauldron being auctioned off at an exorbitant price of one thousand eight hundred middle-grade Spirit Stones, Su Yu couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
These things were no longer traded in low-grade Spirit Stones. Only those with middle-grade Spirit Stones had the right to bid.
Previously, he thought he was quite wealthy, but now- –
“I’m way behind. The accumulation of these big powers over countless years is not something I can compete with in a short period.” Su Yu became solemn and was deep in thought. It seems like he will need to start accumulating middle-grade Spirit Stones going forward..
