Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record
#147 - Chapter 146 Auction
Leaving Qionghai Pavilion, Zhang Yuanjing felt quite satisfied. Huishan and Langshan seemed enthusiastic, but they were unwilling to bring out good things. Huishan gifted a map, which was somewhat sincere. Langshan displayed only ordinary goods, which held no attraction for him.
Following the main street, he visited several other shops, but they all offered ordinary goods, and he saw nothing worth looking at. He immediately felt bored and returned to Skyscraper Pavilion. In the hall, Min Huiye had been waiting for a long time.
"Senior, someone from Huishan Tower came to ask you whether the items for the auction will be kept by Huishan Tower, or will you personally introduce them on stage?"
In recent days, Min Huiye's attitude had become increasingly respectful, insisting on treating him with the respect of a disciple, even though they were both Foundation Establishment cultivators. Zhang Yuanjing had mentioned it several times, but seeing his insistence, he let him be. Anyway, in terms of age, he was more than a hundred years older than this Min Huiye, so he was qualified to be his senior.
"Oh, so they're urging me to bring out good stuff," Zhang Yuanjing said with a chuckle. "How about this, you give the list to Huishan Tower, and let your Skyscraper Pavilion auction the items on my behalf."
Min Huiye was overjoyed and immediately bowed to thank him, "Thank you for your consideration, Senior!"
"I'll offer three items: a millennium tiger tail grass, a high-grade fire attribute flying sword, and an Essence Strengthening Pill, a pill that enhances the divine soul!"
Zhang Yuanjing had pondered for a long time whether to take out the Essence Strengthening Pill, but in the end, he decided to try it out. This pill was extremely rare. When he was in the Profound Sky Sect, he had only heard of some pills having the side effect of enhancing the divine soul, but he had never heard of a pill specifically for enhancing the divine soul.
He had originally intended to trade it with someone in Six Peaks Immortal City, but he thought that there would definitely be many experts there, and if he was seen through, it would be troublesome, or even lead to disaster. So, he decided to use this auction to see how much it was worth in the eyes of ordinary cultivators.
"Essence Strengthening Pill? Senior, can you explain its effects?" Min Huiye was also stunned, obviously not knowing what this pill was, and quickly asked.
"It directly enhances the divine soul after consumption. As for the effect, it varies depending on the strength of each individual's divine soul. However, a typical late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator can enhance their divine soul power by more than ten percent after taking it."
Min Huiye listened and found this pill to be very peculiar. However, he was not a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator and had not yet developed his divine sense, so he did not have a deep understanding of it. He agreed and went to report to Wu Yuanguang.
Wu Yuanguang immediately came to inquire after hearing about this strange item. After confirming its effects, he requested to exchange for three or five pills.
Zhang Yuanjing dared not expose too much, insisting that he only had three pills, one for auction and one for his own use. He could only exchange one pill, and he only wanted Yin Severing Sand. Wu Yuanguang scoured all the Yin Severing Sand accumulated by the sect and added more than ten kilograms to Zhang Yuanjing.
In the following days, Zhang Yuanjing went to the shops of the other six caves and bought some auxiliary medicines for refining Bitter Origin Pills and Beast King Pills, but he only obtained some minor ones. The two most important auxiliary medicines for Bitter Origin Pills and the most important auxiliary medicine for Beast King Pills could not be found.
However, he didn't care much. Buying these spiritual herbs was just a preparation, and he didn't really intend to refine these pills. In addition, he also bought some items for healing, repelling insects, treating poison, fire prevention, and water avoidance, just in case.
On the seventh day after the market opened, Min Huiye sent four jade slips, which were immortal city maps drawn by cultivators who were friendly with him.
Zhang Yuanjing looked at them carefully. Two of them followed the southern route, but the specific routes were different, and the maps were extremely crude. Fortunately, by comparing them with the map from Huishan Tower, he was able to find a relatively detailed route. Two of them followed the northern route, one was extremely simple, only marking a few important place names, and the other was slightly more detailed, with a mark every hundred thousand miles, which was roughly usable.
Judging from the maps, it was certainly more convenient to take the southern route, but as soon as he thought of what Wu Yuanguang had said, he couldn't help but hesitate.
The auction was not held until the ninth day because there were too many people who signed up and submitted items. The Three Mountains and Seven Caves originally set a standard that the items submitted must be above a bottle of high-grade Spirit Gathering Powder to be included in the auction. According to the price here, a high-grade Spirit Gathering Powder is more than one hundred low-grade spirit stones, and a bottle is usually nine, with a price of nine hundred to one thousand low-grade spirit stones.
However, some strange items are difficult to determine the value of. For those who need them, they may be priceless, while for those who do not need them, they may be worthless. In the end, Daoist Wufeng and the other heads of the Two Mountains and Seven Caves agreed to hold the auction in two parts, a preliminary round mainly for auctioning items suitable for early and mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, and a later round for auctioning items suitable for late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators. All Foundation Establishment cultivators could participate in both rounds.
The preliminary round of the auction lasted for three days. On the second day, with the consent of the Three Mountains and Seven Caves, many Qi Refining cultivators were also brought in by their masters, making the atmosphere at the auction even more lively, and items were occasionally auctioned off at shocking prices, making the cultivators look forward to the later round of the auction even more.
Although Daoist Wufeng tried his best to invite him, Zhang Yuanjing did not participate in the preliminary round of the auction. On the morning of the day the later round of the auction began, Daoist Wufeng came to invite him in person.
Since Zhang Yuanjing took out those three auction items, he was greatly encouraged and paid more attention to this mysterious Foundation Establishment Completion cultivator with many treasures, so he had to pull him to the scene.
The auction site was a temporary large house, with a ten-foot-high square platform on the inside, which was the auction stage. Behind the auction stage was a house built of cyan stone, with white light flashing on the stone, and complex restrictions were arranged, which was used as a warehouse to store the auction items.
The other three sides of the large house were divided into three floors, with scattered seats on the first floor, private rooms on the second floor, and suites on the third floor. The suites were exclusively for the Three Mountains and Seven Caves, and other scattered cultivators were not allowed to enter, even if they were willing to spend spirit stones.
Daoist Wufeng led Zhang Yuanjing into a pre-reserved luxurious suite and took out a long black iron token for him, with the words "VIP One" written on it, which was actually the number one VIP token.
This suite consisted of three small rooms of three square feet each. The middle one had a large window facing the hall below, which was used by cultivators to participate in the auction. The room on the left was a place to meditate and rest, which was also convenient for cultivators to check the items they had auctioned off as soon as possible. The room on the right, which was close to the hall, also had a small window, with many armchairs inside, which could be used to arrange disciples.
Outside the suite, two young Taoists from Huishan Dojo were guarding to be at their disposal.
Because the auction in the previous three days was very popular and there were many items entering the auction, the Three Mountains and Seven Caves agreed to let the auctioneer of Huishan Tower auction all the items, but the items were jointly guarded by a Foundation Establishment cultivator from each party.
The auctioneer of Huishan Tower was a middle-aged scholar-dressed mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. This person was Daoist Wufeng's junior brother, Daoist Wuyu, who was handsome, had a deep voice, was eloquent, and was good at mobilizing the atmosphere. He was a natural auctioneer.
"Fellow Taoists, welcome to the auction organized by Huiyun Tower. In the first auction that ended yesterday, a total of 277 items were auctioned, and 252 items were sold, with only a few not sold."
"Today's auction has a total of 50 items, all of which are fine products. The last finale item is even a strange item that everyone has never heard of. The rules of the auction are still the same as yesterday. Bidders need to raise the token in their hands to bid. Okay, without further ado, let's start the auction now!"
Daoist Wuyu reversed the long-winded boasting of the benefits of the auction at the opening yesterday, and simply said a few opening remarks before announcing the official start of the auction. This was because with the hot market in the previous three days, he didn't need to waste any more words.
"The first item is a wing bone of an adult Thunder Bird, which can be used to refine spiritual weapons with thunder power, which is very rare. This old man has lived for almost two hundred years, but today is the first time I have seen it. If I were not on the stage and burdened with the important task of auctioning, I would also bid. Okay, interested Taoists, please prepare your number plates. The starting price of the adult Thunder Bird wing bone is one thousand low-grade spirit stones, and each increase must be more than one hundred. Bidding starts now..."
It has to be said that Huiyun Tower is indeed good at doing business, and the first auction item was chosen very well. The adult Thunder Bird wing bone is not particularly valuable, but it is very practical, and ordinary cultivators can use it and want to have it, especially young cultivators, who have expectations for it, but it is difficult to see.
The competition among the cultivators at the scene for the Thunder Bird wing bone instantly entered a white-hot stage, and the atmosphere of the entire auction was mobilized at once.
"One thousand five!" The bidder was a stunningly beautiful female cultivator in her twenties, Li Yunxi, the junior sister of Pei Yunxi of Langshan.
The Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Three Mountains and Seven Caves already knew the list of auction items, so they had prepared for the things they liked, and bid without hesitation. Relatively speaking, scattered cultivators had to consider more. After all, this was the first item, and who knew if there would be something they needed later. There were only so many spirit stones, so they had to save some.
"One thousand six!"
"Two thousand!"
"Is there any higher bid? Two thousand once! Fellow Taoists, the adult Thunder Bird wing bone is not easy to get, and it is rare to see it in decades! Two thousand twice! Taoists who need it should hurry up and bid, if you miss this time, you don't know when the next time will be! ... Two thousand three times! Congratulations to VIP number thirteen on the third floor for winning this item!"
The first item was auctioned for twice the price, which was undoubtedly a good start. In the following fifteen items, all kinds of rare spiritual materials were auctioned, with a reserve price of eight hundred to one thousand, but in the end, most of them were auctioned for about twice the price.
Of course, for Zhang Yuanjing, these spiritual materials used to refine middle and high-grade spiritual weapons were useless. He leaned lazily on the luxuriously decorated and exquisitely carved long-backed soft leather armchair, letting his thoughts run wild, and his thoughts came and went.
