I am a support player in the cultivation world
Chapter 34: First Encounter with Auction
The auction hall was semi-elliptical in shape, with seats increasing in height from the inside to the outside. There were also private rooms on both sides, which were prepared for various forces.
The Jian Sect and the Qin Jue Family both had private rooms here. But this time, Lin Fuping and the others came here to hide their identities, so they stayed in the hall.
The two were seated by the maid, who gave a brief introduction and then left to take care of the next guest.
The auctioneer on the stage was holding a black iron sword and introducing it.
"Please look, everyone. This black iron sword is a low-grade black-level spiritual weapon. Because the weapon refiner mixed some black iron into the sword when forging it, it has increased the hardness and sharpness of the spiritual weapon. It is a rare and powerful weapon among spiritual weapons of the same level."
As he said this, he swung the iron sword towards the copper steel placed on the table. With a loud bang, the copper steel was cut in half, and the cut was smooth.
The auctioneer held up the used black iron sword and showed it to everyone.
"The starting price is one hundred high-grade spirit stones. Unlimited bidding. Start now."
As soon as he finished speaking, bidding sounds rang out from the stage.
"One hundred and ten high-quality spirit stones."
"One hundred and twelve high-quality spirit stones."
"One hundred and eighteen high-quality spirit stones."
…Continuous bidding raised the price of the iron sword to one hundred and forty-five high-quality spirit stones.
"Anyone else want to bid?"
After asking repeatedly, the auctioneer dropped the hammer.
"Congratulations to this distinguished guest for winning the Black Iron Sword."
The maid brought up the next item for auction and took the black iron sword away.
"Okay, this auction item is a set of battle flags..."
When the auctioneer was introducing on the stage, Qin Ju explained it to Lin Fuping in detail.
"The starting price of the auction is always very low, except for a few cases where the sword fails to sell. For example, the price of the black iron sword just now should be between 135 and 150 yuan on the market. The price at the auction is about 140 yuan. However, the black iron swords on the market are either street vendors with no quality guarantee, or store goods with high prices. Therefore, many independent cultivators are willing to come to the auction to pick up bargains."
Lin Fuping nodded repeatedly after hearing Qin Jue's explanation. But she also asked curiously:
"Then are the ones from the auction guaranteed?"
Qin Ju patiently explained
"Didn't you just go to the appraisal room? The appraisers there are the guarantee. They will give the lowest starting price based on the appraisal results. If the appraiser can reach a starting price of 100, the quality is equivalent to that of a spiritual weapon worth 150 spiritual stones on the market."
Lin Fuping then asked:
“Then why don’t sellers sell directly to stores?”
"Because if you sell it to a store, the price will be lowered. After all, stores also need to make money. If you sell it to an individual, you are afraid of exposing yourself and bringing danger. It's like you also took the spiritual plant to the auction."
After Qin Jue's explanation, Lin Fuping had a general understanding of the auction. But there was still a problem.
"Will there be a situation where someone steals a valuable item from someone else during the auction?"
Qin Jue was confused. What was this kid thinking? His thinking was divergent.
"No, standing behind the auction is the Tiandi Chamber of Commerce. Behind the Chamber of Commerce is the Zhongzhou Li family. They value reputation and luck. And where is this place? It is the Eastern Region Sword Sect. They hold an auction here and will offer tribute to the Sword Sect. The Sword Sect will also ensure the safety of the auction."
Lin Fuping's eyes lit up
"The Sword Sect is also participating in the auction!?"
"Not only the auction, but the four markets surrounding the Sword Sect are all Sword Sect's businesses. They are also guarded by the sect's elders and deacons."
Only then did Lin Fuping begin to realize the vastness of the Sword Sect.
Several items have been auctioned on the stage. The one being auctioned now is a set of third-level wind rune. Ten pieces in a set.
"Wind-running Talisman, third-level Talisman. It can increase the speed of Jindan cultivators and below by 80% in a short period of time. It is a regular Talisman for training. The starting price is 75 Spirit Stones."
After a brief silence, someone made a bid.
"Seventy-eight"
"eighty"
"Eighty-one"
...
After asking Qin Ju, Lin Fuping learned that the Wind-Running Talisman was a common talisman in the market, and the price was around one hundred. Because it was so common, the Wind-Running Talisman could not be sold at a high price at the auction.
"ninety"
Lin Fuping made her bid, and when the others saw that she had raised the price by nine yuan, they all gave up.
So Lin Fuping successfully won the first auction item.
Qin Qi asked doubtfully:
"Why did you buy this? It's tasteless to you and a pity to throw it away."
After all, in the Qinghui Secret Realm, there are only foundation-building and golden elixir cultivators. Those in the foundation-building stage can run, but those in the golden elixir stage don’t need to run.
"Don't worry about it. The mountain man has his own clever plan."
Lin Fuping knew his current disadvantage. It was still because his cultivation was too low. But he had a golden finger. He had experimented with it before. The acceleration of Chang Gexing and Si Wuxie could be achieved in various speed-ups.
For example, when you don't use anything, the speedup is 100% and 50%.
When I use the Qingyun body technique, the speed increase is also the same.
But the base value is different, and the growth rate is also different.
So I just need to take the Speed Pill, use the Light Cloud Body Technique, apply the Wind Travel Talisman, and activate the Long Song and Thinking Without Xie at the same time. Even a Jindan cultivator will be left behind.
So when Lin Fuping first came to the market, he set his own goal: to increase the speed of all the magic pills and talismans.
Lin Fuping's initial plan for his own training was: one body movement - Qingyun, one sword technique - Luoxing, and one body training - Fanziquan.
Qingyun ensures that he can escape, the Falling Star Sword Technique is his means of attack, and the Fanzi Fist is to improve his physical fitness, ensure his survival, and have the power to strike back when absolutely necessary.
After all, even if it was a sneak attack, for me who had the passive Chang Ge Xing, as long as I was not killed in one blow, I could run away.
Lin Fuping wants to realize the path of cultivation with "living as the basic policy and running away as the basic program".
After all, I am just a support, and a support can only play its greatest role if it survives.
Now that I have the Wind-Speed Talisman, I need to find the Speed-Speed Pill.
Qin Ju didn't say anything more after hearing this. After all, his junior sister only looked young, but she was actually very smart.
After a few more items were auctioned, Qin Jue also won several items in succession. His generosity made Lin Fuping jealous.
As expected of a young master from a noble family, he is indeed rich.
Later, Lin Fuping's 100 second-level spiritual plants were bought by a Jindan cultivator wearing the uniform of a Sword Sect disciple for 90 spiritual stones. He should be a Danfeng disciple. I wonder if he will be in Qinghui Secret Realm this time.
But Lin Fuping was still very happy, after all, the item was sold. It just happened to settle the account of the Wind-walking Talisman that he had won. But when he thought about the 5% handling fee.
Lin Fuping's mouth twitched. The platform still made money. He still had to pay 450 medium-grade spirit stones. It was equivalent to 4.5 high-grade spirit stones.
After the hundred second-level spirit stones, there is the Qianli grass. Lin Fuping perked up. This is the big one.
The auctioneer picked up the jade box, which contained a rare note.
After reading the note, the auctioneer was surprised. He coughed, picked up the jade box, and showed the Qianli grass to everyone.
"Ahem, everyone. Please look at this Qianli grass. It is a very rare thing."
The audience was talking about it. How could a third-level spiritual plant, a common one at that, be considered rare?
Seeing this, the auctioneer explained:
"Everyone knows that Qianli Grass is a third-level low-grade spiritual plant. Occasionally, a mid-grade one will appear, but it's rare, right?"
There were fewer discussions on the stage. Could this be a third-level, middle-grade Qianli grass? That was only rare, not rare.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him in confusion, the auctioneer smiled and raised the jade box in his hand, saying:
"This Qianli grass is not just a third-level medium-quality one, but it has broken through its own growth limit. It has reached the third-level top quality and is even infinitely close to the fourth level."
The stage roared
People continue to raise doubts
"How can this be?"
"The third-grade, middle-grade Qianli Grass is already the limit, how could there be a top-grade one?"
"really"
The auctioneer saw this and quickly banged the hammer and shouted
"Quiet, quiet. This appraisal result was issued by Master Si Ran of our auction house. This Qianli Grass came from a collapsed secret realm. It is indeed infinitely close to the fourth level, and it is in good condition and full of spiritual energy. If the seller had not insisted on auctioning it, our auction house would be willing to accept this spiritual object. Then there would be no chance to meet you all."
When the people on the stage heard that it was Master Siran who issued the result, they all shut up. After all, a fifth-level appraiser is still very reliable. After reacting, many people became curious about Qianli Grass. After all, a spiritual plant that breaks through the growth limit is very meaningful. Whether it is research or alchemy and talisman drawing. They all have different uses.
Seeing that everyone had quieted down again, the auctioneer continued with the auction process.
"This Qianli grass has broken through its growth limit. It is very good for you to buy it for research or to continue to cultivate. The starting price is 200 high-grade spirit stones. The bid must be increased by no less than 2 high-grade spirit stones."
Before he finished speaking, the bidding started one after another.
"Two Hundred and Fifty"
"Two hundred and eighty"
"three hundred"
The continuous bidding pushed the auction to a small climax.
Lin Fuping was filled with joy and kept shouting, "Higher and higher!"
Qin Jue, who was standing next to him, was stunned. Although he had never seen the spiritual plant brought by his junior sister, she had told him about it. But she didn't tell him that this was a spiritual plant that had broken through its growth limit.
Breaking through the limits! The significance of the spiritual plant is no longer limited to the third level. If we can study how the spiritual plant breaks through the limits, it will be a big impact on the cultivation world.
The point is, the secret realm of spiritual plants is simply bullshit. My little sister has never left since she joined the sect. What a bullshit secret realm. This is obviously cultivated by her.
When Qin Ju thought of this, he wanted to immediately grab Lin Fuping and run back to the main peak. It was too scary.
However, Lin Fuping disagreed. After all, who would believe that an eight-year-old foundation-building child could cultivate a spiritual plant that broke through the limitations? Her age and cultivation were her best cover.
"Five Hundred Spiritual Stones"
A familiar voice came from upstairs. Lin Fuping recalled that it was Danfeng Elder Gu Wenqing.
Qin Qi also heard it
"It's Elder Gu. It seems he is guarding the market town."
The market is usually staffed by deacons, with elders coming occasionally to take a look. Elders are replaced every 100 years.
The large increase in the price forced the other bidders to retreat. Even those who were still willing to bid gave up when they saw that the bidder was the elder of the Sword Sect.
So the Qianli grass was sold for 500 Lingshi, and Lin Fuping made a small profit.
