From dual spiritual roots to a sword master with all attributes
Chapter 22 Auction
In the next two days, more and more Qi Refining cultivators appeared in the Immortal City. It seemed that the news about the Foundation Establishment Pill had spread.
As for Foundation Establishment Pills, don’t think that there will be a lot of them on the market just because the Tianlan Sect can produce 240 pills every ten years. Only a holy land with a profound foundation can produce so many at one time.
First of all, the main ingredient of the Foundation Establishment Pill, the Black Ice Flower, is not something that ordinary sects or families can cultivate in large quantities. Although it is only a second-level spiritual medicine, it has very high requirements for spiritual veins and spiritual energy. The Tianlan Sect also has a secret cave where it can be cultivated in large quantities. Therefore, even if everyone knows the formula of the Foundation Establishment Pill, it cannot be refined.
Secondly, each sect keeps detailed records of the whereabouts of the Foundation Establishment Pills and will never allow them to flow into the market in large quantities. Foundation Establishment Pills are the lifeline of low-level cultivators, especially independent cultivators. Those who master the Foundation Establishment Pills control more than 90% of the independent cultivators, and they are all cheap labor for each sect. If a large number of high-level independent cultivators appear, they will inevitably snatch the benefits from the sects and affect the interests of the sects.
However, the sect forces will release a small number of foundation-building pills every once in a while, just like this auction, where each foundation-building pill has a name and who can buy it depends on their wealth.
The first day was the Qi Refining Period Auction. Fang Xiao disguised himself and arrived at the auction venue. In order to enter, he had to verify his capital. Without thousands of spirit stones, he was not allowed to enter.
When it was his turn to verify his capital, he took out ten medium-grade spirit stones and gave them to the person in charge on the spot. Naturally, there was no problem with it. He took the seat number plate handed to him and walked straight into the venue.
Although there were huge crowds of people outside the auction venue, there were not many people in the Qi Refining Stage who could afford a thousand spirit stones. He was a special case. Fang Xiao took a quick look inside the venue and found that there were only about a thousand people there.
After finding a seat, he sat down, closed his eyes and waited patiently for the auction to begin.
After waiting for a while, no one entered the venue anymore. At this time, there were about two thousand people participating in the auction, but more than half of them were bidding on behalf of the forces behind the scenes.
"Everyone, welcome to the auction held by our Wanbao Chamber of Commerce. I hope everyone can abide by the auction rules. I will not waste your time anymore. The auction will officially begin."
After receiving the signal, the auction host announced the start of the auction.
"The first lot is a top-grade magic weapon, the Thunder Sky Hammer. The starting price is 500 yuan. Each bid increase must not be less than 10 spirit stones."
Although it is a top-grade magic weapon, it does have a rare thunder attribute. Many people bid for it, but Fang Xiao has no interest in it.
"Seven hundred and eighty spirit stones for the third time. Deal."
Considering its attack power comparable to that of top-grade magical weapons, the final price is still slightly excessive.
The next dozen or so items included elixirs, magical instruments, and techniques, but without exception, they were all useless to him.
"The twentieth lot, a piece of Calming Soil, the starting price is six hundred yuan, and each bid increase must not be less than ten spirit stones."
Fang Xiao was shocked. This spiritual material called calming soil can be used in the soul-nourishing gourd.
"Seven hundred and fifty spirit stones."
When the price hadn't even reached seven hundred spirit stones, he raised it to seven hundred and fifty spirit stones. There was no other meaning, it just showed that he was very wealthy.
"Seven hundred and fifty spirit stones for the third time, deal."
The people who were bidding were also intimidated by his determination to win, and since this was already above their psychological price, they did not raise the price.
For the next dozens of items, he only made two bids and successfully bought them all. They were the Soul-Nourishing Wood needed for the Soul-Nourishing Gourd and the top-grade magic weapon alchemy furnace given to Xiao Yan. Although he became a disciple of Jindan, he was only a registered disciple, and the alchemy furnace he used was also a top-grade alchemy furnace given to him when he became an apprentice. Since he planned to bring him into his team, he naturally had to give him benefits, and this top-grade alchemy furnace was just right.
The further the items went, the more valuable they became, but since they were of no use to him, he did nothing until the number of items reached over 200.
"Lot 213, a piece of copper essence, the starting price is 10,000 spirit stones, and each bid increase must not be less than 500 spirit stones."
Fang Xiao was so excited that he almost stood up. He had already given up hope, but he didn't expect that the copper essence among the five metal essences would actually appear.
This copper essence is purple-gold in color. Judging from its color, it is of extremely condensed top-grade quality, but it is only the size of a corn kernel.
"Eleven thousand spirit stones."
"Twelve thousand five hundred spirit stones."
"Seventeen thousand spirit stones. My sect is the Qingxi Sword Sect. Please give me some respect."
"Eighteen thousand spiritual stones."
This man raised the price to 17,000 at one time and mentioned his own sect, hoping that others would be cautious. Unfortunately, some people were not afraid of him.
"During the auction, you are not allowed to use your power to pressure others. This is the first warning and the last one."
The auction host interrupted the bidding and gave a warning. At the same time, a strong pressure rose up from the backstage of the auction venue, but it was fleeting.
"Golden elixir stage."
A cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage exclaimed.
"I'm sorry, senior. I said that because I was in a hurry. I didn't really mean it. Please forgive me."
The Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Qingxi Sword Sect was sweating profusely and quickly apologized.
"Then let's continue the auction. This fellow Taoist just bid 18,000 Spirit Stones. Is there anyone who can bid higher?"
"Twenty-five thousand spirit stones."
Fang Xiao took this opportunity to bid a sky-high price once again, and everyone in the room fell silent. The size of the copper essence was not worth this price. Of course, it was also to save spirit stones to compete for the finale item - the Foundation Establishment Pill.
"Twenty-five thousand spirit stones, first time."
"Twenty-five thousand spirit stones, the second time."
"Twenty-five thousand spirit stones, third time, deal."
He just sat there, looking calm and composed. Everyone recalled that Fang Xiao had always called out sky-high prices at one time before, and they all suspected that some old freak was bidding against them.
His confidence came from the more than 100,000 spirit stones in his storage bag. Moreover, when the auction was over, he would return to the outer courtyard to see the dean Li Daoyuan. No one would dare to touch him. If anyone had the guts to kill him, Li Daoyuan would scatter his ashes on the spot.
The next two lots are a top-level wood-attributed martial arts technique and its supporting magical powers, and a talisman made from a top-grade magic weapon, the Vermillion Bird Ring.
He didn't need the skills at all, and the talisman he bought was now gathering dust in the storage bag, so he had no interest in it.
"The 216th lot is also the finale of today's auction. It contains five foundation-building pills. The auction will be divided into five lots. The starting price is 15,000 spirit stones. Each bid must not be less than 1,000 spirit stones."
It can be said that more than half of the forces are coming for the Foundation Establishment Pill. If a family does not have a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it will be swallowed up by other forces. If an independent cultivator does not have a Foundation Establishment Pill, he will live a mediocre life. But what does all this have to do with me? I must get the Foundation Establishment Pill today.
"Fifteen thousand spirit stones."
"Sixteen thousand spiritual stones."
……
"Twenty-six thousand spiritual stones."
The bidding was very fierce, but in a blink of an eye, the price of this Foundation Establishment Pill was almost raised to 30,000 spirit stones.
"Thirty-two thousand spiritual stones."
"Thirty-three thousand spiritual stones."
At this time, there are only a few companies that can bid on the price, and they must be forces with a little capital.
"Thirty-eight thousand spiritual stones."
Fang Xiao once again called out a sky-high price, but this time there was still someone who was unwilling to give in.
"Thirty-nine thousand spiritual stones."
"forty thousand."
Seeing that the other party was determined to make a desperate attempt, he rounded up the price and shouted out the highest price for the night.
"Forty thousand spirit stones for the third time, deal."
After getting the things, Fang Xiao had no intention of looking at who would own the next four Foundation Establishment Pills. He simply stood up and walked towards the backstage of the auction, intending to pay the spirit stones, take the things and go back to Wangshu Pavilion.
After he stood up and left, several groups of people also left directly. It seemed that they had some ideas about Fang Xiao.
"Fellow Daoist, there is no problem with the number of spirit stones. This is the item you bid for. Also, do you need our Wanbao Chamber of Commerce to protect you for a while?"
"Haha, no need, just let them come if they want to."
Seeing Fang Xiao was so confident, the person in charge said no more.
