#141 - Foundation Building Pill Auction
As the auction price was called out, Qiu Xianyun produced a three-foot-long fish tank.
This fish tank was made entirely of white jade, with spiritual patterns carved all over it.
Through the white jade, one could see a huge, cyan-green jade tadpole inside the fish tank!
With a flick of Qiu Xianyun's finger, a water arrow technique was launched towards the tadpole.
The next moment, the water arrow collided head-on with an ice arrow technique, shattering instantly, and the ice arrow even threatened to shoot towards Qiu Xianyun.
The jade tadpole appeared unusually irritable.
At this moment, Qiu Xianyun also dropped a spirit talisman, and the large tank flashed with spiritual light, sealing the jade tadpole and the ice arrow technique together.
"Jade Toad larva, starting price 1000 spirit stones, minimum increment of ten spirit stones!" Qiu Xianyun announced.
"One thousand one hundred spirit stones!"
"One thousand two hundred spirit stones!"
… …
The price of spirit stones soared continuously, and even Ye Jingcheng was tempted at this moment.
He was currently lacking a wood-attribute spirit beast. Although this Jade Toad was of ice-wind attribute, it had good potential. It would be good to buy it and sell it to the family.
Moreover, at this time, the Treasure Book also flashed with light, and two images floated over, indicating that this Jade Toad could still advance its bloodline twice.
Although it was not as good as the Goldscale Beast, in Ye Jingcheng's view, it was still very good.
It was just a pity that he could not afford it!
As time passed, the price of this Jade Tadpole reached two thousand three hundred spirit stones.
Although there were many treasures in this kind of large square market, and many spirit beast cubs, there were also many who understood spirit beasts.
Unless it was a seriously injured and dying spirit beast, it was almost impossible for Ye Jingcheng to pick up a bargain.
He had come this day to see the auction. If he really bid on the first item, others would not suspect, but Xu Haoshui of the Xu family and the Li family brothers would definitely suspect.
Ye Jingcheng still knew the importance of this.
The Jade Tadpole finally reached a high price of two thousand four hundred spirit stones.
In fact, the normal price of a Jade Tadpole was about one thousand six hundred to one thousand eight hundred spirit stones.
But Qiu Xianyun's demonstration was the reason why everyone paid a premium to buy it.
It was not difficult for the ice arrow technique to break the water arrow technique, but the problem was that this Jade Tadpole was still a larva, and it had shattered Qiu Xianyun's water arrow technique.
Even according to the Ye family's judgment method, its value would indeed be one or two times higher.
As for Ye Jingcheng, he could actually accept a premium of one or two times.
Ye Haiyi glanced at Ye Jingcheng, and seeing that the latter had not even called out a single price, he felt much relieved.
He knew Ye Jingcheng's cultivation method, and also knew that sometimes cultivators needed to seize opportunities, but Ye Jingcheng's ability to have such composure was most commendable.
"First-grade high-quality spiritual herb, Jade Icegrass, hundred-year-old, starting price two hundred spirit stones!"
The grade of the second auction item was obviously a bit lower.
Qiu Xianyun opened a jade box, and a jade grass like white jade appeared in the jade box.
Qiu Xianyun then took out a mirror and sprinkled a layer of water droplets on the mirror.
The next moment, it turned into a layer of ice.
"Minimum increment of five spirit stones!" Qiu Xianyun's professionalism was excellent, far better than the coquettishness of the auctioneers in Taihang Square Market.
Every detail of this Master Qiu was extremely well-controlled.
Of course, it was not to say that the auctioneers in Taihang Square Market were not good. After all, the targets of the auction were different. One was the Foundation Establishment family and the Foundation Establishment loose cultivators, as well as Qi Refining peak cultivators, while the other was basically all loose cultivators.
It was hard to say that Master Qiu's effect would be much worse if he went to Taihang Square Market.
The Jade Icegrass was obviously from the same cold pool as the Jade Toad larva.
The price of this Jade Icegrass eventually reached three hundred and eighty spirit stones.
This was about the same as Ye Jingcheng's estimate.
Qiu Xianyun was obviously not very satisfied with this price. He waved his hand again, and a waiter beside him brought up a jade plate, and the brocade cloth on the jade plate was lifted, revealing a sky-blue aquatic plant.
This aquatic plant was rippling with spiritual light, and there was also a trace of mist condensing.
Ye Jingcheng could not help but breathe rapidly.
This spiritual grass was exactly the Water Cloud Grass he had been looking for.
Moreover, it was also very easy to judge the age of the Water Cloud Grass. Looking at its length, reaching one foot long and having more than three long leaves meant it was a hundred years old.
The Water Cloud Grass in front of him naturally met the criteria.
"First-grade top-quality spiritual grass, Water Cloud Grass, hundred-year-old, its leaves grow one every thirty years, reaching one foot in a hundred years. This item is a universal alchemy material for the water attribute, and many pill formulas can use it, including the auxiliary material for the second-grade Water Cloud Pill, which is also Water Cloud Grass…"
Qiu Xianyun kept introducing it. As an alchemist, he had too much experience in this area.
Ye Jingcheng's expression, on the other hand, was a little unsightly. The more clearly it was explained, the greater the competition at the auction would be.
Unlike spirit beasts, Tang Haobo, Ye Jingcheng's current identity, had water and fire spiritual roots, so buying water-attribute spiritual medicine was very normal.
Therefore, this time he was determined to get it.
"Alright, no more introductions. The starting price of this Water Cloud Grass is five hundred spirit stones, with a minimum increment of five spirit stones!"
"Five hundred and ten!"
"Five hundred and twenty!"
… …
The bidding was very lively, but not many people were adding much to the price.
"Eight hundred and fifty spirit stones!" Ye Jingcheng also skipped a lot of prices directly, offering a high price.
"Nine hundred spirit stones!" Another voice rang out, and Ye Jingcheng could not help but frown.
This was a cultivator from the second-floor Zifu private room, and it was Xu Haoshui, whose voice Ye Jingcheng was very familiar with.
"Nine hundred and five!" After hesitating for a while, Ye Jingcheng increased the price again.
"Nine hundred and fifty!" Xu Haoshui did not hesitate at all.
Ye Jingcheng wanted to add more, but found that Ye Haiyi was looking at him.
At this time, among the loose cultivators next to him, a voice also rang out:
"Nine hundred and eighty spirit stones!"
Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng immediately understood and called out nine hundred and eighty-five again. After the loose cultivator called out nine hundred and ninety, Ye Jingcheng gave up with a helpless expression and sat down.
What made Ye Jingcheng's eyes sharp was that Xu Haoshui really did not increase the price again!
It was as if he just wanted to bid against Ye Jingcheng.
This made Ye Jingcheng's eyes narrow.
"Next up for auction is a first-grade top-quality magic weapon, this treasure is called the Starlight Mountain-Splitting Axe. Black-patterned wood is added to the axe handle, starlight stone is added to the axe blade, and it is tempered with sinking iron. The axe alone weighs a thousand pounds. If it is under the starry sky, this axe will automatically absorb starlight and can be regarded as nothing!"
The next treasures gradually began to include first-grade top-quality magic weapons, each of which was very powerful.
Ye Jingcheng was also constantly reminded to be more cautious when facing enemy cultivators in the future, otherwise, even if these treasures fell into the hands of a Qi Refining seventh-level cultivator, their power would not be much weaker.
… …
In the second-floor private room, Xu Wencheng of the Xu family was looking at Xu Haoshui at this moment, somewhat surprised. He had to know that, in his memory, Xu Haoshui was not a cultivator who randomly bid.
"Fourth Uncle, this involves some things, I cannot tell you, but I suspect that this person is not a loose cultivator!"
"You suspect?"
"Yes, I think he is the Ye family member we are looking for. Maybe they are also here for the Zifu Jade Liquid!"
"I just wanted to test his spirit stone limit!"
"He was among those who left a shadow on the hall wall this time. Although he wore a Spirit-Isolating Robe, the Spirit-Isolating Robes of loose cultivators have some flaws, and I happen to be good at a spiritual eye spell!" Xu Haoshui said unhurriedly.
In this auction hall, the private rooms have formations, so he was not afraid of others hearing him.
"Oh!" Xu Wencheng replied meaningfully.
"The Chu family and the Ye family are very interesting. On the contrary, the Chen family and the Li family seem much more honest!"
"Fourth Uncle, of course they are honest. They have seen the strength of our Xu family, how can they be presumptuous? It is the Mo family who has wasted the reputation of the Zifu family!" Xu Haoshui said disdainfully.
"Haoshui, you need to change this temper. Do not underestimate any family. Remember, even when facing a Qi Refining family, you must use ten points of mind and eleven points of strength. Many ants can kill an elephant. The family raised you not to be someone else's stepping stone!"
"Not to mention old families like the Mo family and the Ye family…" Xu Wencheng immediately admonished.
As soon as these words came out, Xu Haoshui repeatedly lowered his head to admit his mistake, but the look in his eyes did not change much. The more he understood the strength of his family, the more proud and confident he became.
"However, if they want to compete today, let them compete. In addition, I want to see if they have enough spirit stones when the auction ends!" Xu Wencheng sneered.
… …
The auction continued, and after dozens of first-grade top-quality magic weapons were auctioned off, Qiu Xianyun clapped his hands again.
A full ten female cultivators wearing thin purple gauze clothes walked up, holding jade plates.
"Everyone, it's time for the most exciting Foundation Establishment Pill auction!"
"There are a full fifty Foundation Establishment Pills this time. The first ten will be sold individually, and the last forty will be sold in packs of two!"
Qiu Xianyun picked up a plate, uncovered the brocade cloth, and five pill bottles appeared on it, each with a golden pill.
He opened a jade bottle, and a rich spiritual energy rushed out, sweeping towards the crowd.
Qiu Xianyun sealed the pill bottle:
"The first Foundation Establishment Pill auction begins, the starting price is eight thousand, with a minimum increment of one hundred spirit stones!"
"Nine thousand!"
"Ten thousand!"
At this time, Ye Jingcheng saw that those loose cultivators were almost crazy!
The price also soared again and again.
Ye Jingcheng understood that these loose cultivators were worried that the family cultivators would take action, and there would be no chance for them.
At this time, Ye Haiyi also began to bid:
"Fourteen thousand spirit stones!"
Ye Jingcheng suddenly thought that they were also loose cultivators now…
"Fifteen thousand spirit stones!" Even if Ye Haiyi called out such a high price, someone still covered it.
As a loose cultivator, he could basically only auction off individually sold pills, otherwise, even if he auctioned off two, he would not dare to leave Taichang Square Market.
"Sixteen thousand spirit stones!" Ye Haiyi spoke again, and again increased the price by one thousand spirit stones.
"Seventeen thousand spirit stones!" The cultivator who increased the price spoke at the same time.
Ye Haiyi slumped back in his chair, looked at Ye Jingcheng, as if asking about Ye Jingcheng's spirit stones, and then stopped speaking.
Even so, the price of the Foundation Establishment Pill was still rising.
Finally, it was auctioned off at a high price of eighteen thousand three hundred spirit stones.
