Chapter 45: Auction Endgame
"Two hundred and fifty."
"Two hundred and six."
Compared to the spirit beasts in front of them, the bidding for the Xuan Shui Turtle's egg was relatively uneventful, with only a handful of forces placing bids. "Three hundred and two...... three hundred and four...... three hundred and five......"
The frequency of bidding became slower and slower.
"Three hundred and eighty!"
Lu Changan, who had been waiting for a long time, finally made a bid.
He had some interest in the Xuan Shui Turtle Egg, but he wasn't determined to get it, so if the price was too high, he would forget about it.
"Three hundred and eighty spirit stones, is there a higher offer? This is a spirit beast with an earth grade bloodline!"
The feather-robed old man looked around.
As a result, the scene was cold and silent, no one was competing.
The majority of Immortal cultivators are not stupid, a slow-growing, weak Earth Grade Spirit Beast egg, even if it hatches out, the future is still unpredictable.
"Sold at three hundred and eighty spirit stones! The Xuan Shui Turtle Egg is won by the Taoist friend from VIP platform number seven."
Lu Chang'an was a bit surprised that the Xuan Shui Turtle Egg was auctioned so smoothly.
As a talisman master, he enjoys two salaries and earns extra money, so it's normal for him to have a high price.
But not too outrageous, spending hundreds of spirit stones is close to the limit, and this is still the case with a family background.
"It seems that this thing has a destiny with me."
Lu Changan smiled heartily.
Mu Xiu Yun couldn't help but think about it, she knew Lu Chang An's Kung Fu and possessed the secret art of healing with a wonderful hand.
If it was used on the Xuan Shui Turtle's egg, it might be able to breed a Xuan Shui Turtle with a normal physique, thus making a small profit.
The Mu Family's senior management didn't understand why Lu Chang'an bought the Xuan Shui Turtle's egg, but they didn't stop him.
"Even if Lu Changan takes the First Order Life Extension Pill, as long as he fails to build his foundation, he won't be able to wait for the day when the Xuan Shui Turtle grows up. At that time, this turtle might be able to become my Mu Family's clan-suppressing spirit beast."
Mu Maode was secretly calculating.
"Rune Master Lu, please come over to fetch the Xuan Shui Turtle's egg, my daughter has some details to explain."
A clear and sweet girl's voice came from the stage.
It was Zhou Qingxuan who spoke.
Seeing that the final buyer was Lu Changan, Zhou Qingxuan looked slightly surprised.
The Xuan Shui Turtle is suitable for Immortal Cultivation Forces to purchase and cultivate over dozens of generations. For individuals, it is like chicken ribs.
Lu Chang'an sniffed and headed to the auction table.
During this process, he sensed a few strands of divine sense sweeping in, all of which only stayed for a short period of time.
When the divine senses were released, it was naturally the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Eh?
Lu Chang'an was keenly aware of one of the familiar divine sense, which was evil and erratic, causing one's body to go cold.
"Liang Shaotian? He even came to Bamboo Leaf Mountain to join in the fun? What audacity!"
Lu Chang'an was secretly surprised.
That person's divine sense flickered, and he couldn't distinguish the location.
"Rune Master Lu, this is the Xuan Shui Turtle Egg, and a cultivation information."
Zhou Qingxuan handed the turtle egg and a jade cylinder to Lu Chang'an.
Lu Chang'an handed over the spirit stone in his hand.
After the transaction was completed.
Zhou Qingxuan blinked her pretty eyes, flashing a hint of cunning, and said tentatively, "Rune Master Lu, you purchased the Xuan Shui Turtle Eggs, do you have any cultivation tips?"
Zhou Qingxuan knew the situation of this Xuan Shui Turtle Egg by heart.
Don't look to sell it cheaply.
The signs of life within the turtle egg are weak, so if you want to successfully hatch it, you'll still have to pay a big price.
The Zhou family's Beastmaster had evaluated the turtle's egg carefully before deciding to sell it.
Zhou Qingxuan guessed that either Lu Changan didn't know what was going on and bought it on impulse. Or he has a hidden agenda, and is in possession of an unknown method.
"Haha! Miss Zhou is overthinking it. Aren't the cultivators in the marketplace calling Lu 'the turtle talisman master'? Then Lu Mou simply bought a turtle spirit pet to sit on his identity."
Lu Changan laughed with a self-deprecating intent.
Zhou Qingxuan let out a giggle, her light laughter was as crisp as a wind chime, her eyes were bright and shining, and her breasts rose and fell slightly.
The auction was still going on, so she didn't ask any more questions.
......
Lu Changan returned to the VIP table, took out the jade cylinder given by Zhou Qingxuan, put it against his forehead, and his divine sense seeped into it to check.
After looking at it, his face looked unsightly.
The Mu Clan's senior management watched and guessed that he might have suffered a dark loss when he purchased the turtle egg.
"Lu Chang'an, learn from your mistakes. There aren't that many bargains to take in the Immortal Cultivation World."
Mu Renlong spoke in a serious tone and commented. Lu Changan is after all a young man, although alert and steady, but greed is something that even centuries old monsters can not curb.
Lu Chang'an lightly "hmm", silent.
Zhou Qingxuan gave the jade cylinder, introduced the information and symptoms of the Xuan Shui turtle egg, what price to pay to be able to hatch.
Its cost, far exceeded the bidding price!
According to common sense, Lu Chang'an had indeed been punked by the Zhou Family.
......
Half an hour later, the auction of the Zhou Family's spirit beasts was completed.
Zhou Qingxuan left the auction table and returned to a VIP table at the very center.
"Qingxuan, you performed well in this auction of spirit beasts."
On the VIP stage, a handsome middle-aged scribe said with a smile.
"Uncle Jing Xuan, it's just an auction, it's much simpler than taming a ferocious beast."
Facing the middle-aged scribe of the Foundation Establishment Stage, Zhou Qingxuan spoke in a playful tone and casually took her seat.
The middle-aged scribe's name was Zhou Jingxuan, a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Zhou Family.
......
As the auction entered the second half, the items appeared to be of a higher and higher grade.
The amount of money being bid was often in the hundreds or thousands.
The number of times the Foundation Establishment Stage participates in the auction is increasing every time.
"Cold Moon Blade" is an extremely powerful artifact that can be controlled by the Foundation Stage, and it can send out up to seven cold moon blades at a time, which can instantly kill a person at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and it is difficult for a person at the early stage of Foundation Stage to resist it. Under the moonlight, the power of this blade can also skyrocket by 30%!"
"Starting bidding price of one thousand spirit stones, each increase will not be less than fifty."
"One thousand one hundred!"
"Twelve hundred!"
"Fifteen hundred!"
......
Cold Moon Blade, a powerful superb magic weapon, the bidders were all Foundation Stage.
Even the Maple Leaf Huang Family, participated in the bidding.
If the late stage of qi refining with deep mana can control the top-grade magic weapon, then the top-grade magic weapon belongs to the realm of the foundation stage.
"One thousand eight hundred spirit stones!"
In the end, this extremely high-grade magic weapon was bought by a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Imperial Beast Zhou Family.
That is, the middle-aged scribe beside Zhou Qingxuan, Zhou Jingxuan.
After the extreme magic weapon, the climax fell slightly.
The auction also saw the appearance of the late-stage Qi Refining Pill "Bi Ning Dan", as well as the "Blood Spirit Pill", which increases the cultivation level of the Foundation Establishment Stage, the latter of which was also won by the Zhou Family's Foundation Establishment.
The auction entered its finale.
The representatives of the various forces are refreshed and focused on the grand finale of the auction.
"As expected by all guests, next is the penultimate auction item of this auction, the grand finale - Foundation Building Pill!"
The feather-robed old man's voice stirred up.
The atmosphere in the venue was tense and oppressive.
Two Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators personally escorted and placed the jade bottle of Foundation Establishment Pill on the tray.
One of them, an old man, was Huang Changling, the old ancestor of the Huang Clan, whom Lu Changan had met before entering the auction.
The other is a middle-aged man in heavy armor, exuding a murderous aura.
"I don't need to say much about the effects of the Foundation Establishment Pill, it can increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment, and it can strengthen the dantian meridians of the person who is rushing through the gate, which greatly enhances the safety."
The voice of the feather-robed old man echoed in the auction house.
"The Foundation Establishment Pill in this auction is slightly flawed, but it's generally fine, and has been verified by the 'Dan Alliance' and is predicted to increase the success rate by one and a half percent."
"One and a half percent?"
The various forces on the field, pondering, were still very moved.
A normal quality Foundation Establishment Pill can increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment by 20%.
15%, the medicinal effect isn't that much different.
"This Foundation Establishment Pill, the starting bidding price is two thousand spirit stones, and each increase in price will be no less than one hundred."
The feather-robed old man said in a loud voice.
"Two thousand two hundred!"
"Two thousand three!"
"Two thousand five!"
......
The price continued to climb until three thousand spirit stones were mentioned, and the frequency of bidding only decreased.
The Mu Family executives couldn't help but sigh and gave up the competition.
Ten years ago, Mu Renlong secretly built his foundation, the family paid a great price.
Over the years, although the Mu Family has recovered, it would be unstable to buy another Foundation Establishment Pill at any cost.
Having the Foundation Pill doesn't guarantee success. Besides, this Foundation Building Pill is slightly flawed.
Even if you buy it, you will face the risk of being robbed and even bring disaster to your family.
"Four thousand spirit stones! Is there a higher price?"
In the end, the price of this Foundation Establishment Pill was fixed at a huge figure.
Certain forces on the field were naturally able to quote a higher price.
But it's not worth it.
A few thousand Spirit Stones for a 15% increase in probability is likely to be a waste of money and a risk.
"Creative River Ning Family?"
"It was actually this remote family that captured the Foundation Building Pill."
Under the attention of all the forces, a red-faced old man brought a man and a woman onto the stage to trade.
The red-faced old man was at the Foundation Establishment stage, and his breath was exhausted, and his vitality was heavy, apparently approaching the end of his lifespan.
Behind him is a man and a woman, respectively, at the ninth and eighth levels of Qi refining.
The man is a middle-aged man, wearing animal skin vestments; the woman is a curvaceous green-skirted beauty.
"Elder Ning, congratulations to your clan for obtaining the Foundation Establishment Pill."
Rare old ancestor Huang Changling had a smile on his face as he arched his hand and said.
After handing over the spirit stones.
The red-faced old man pleaded, "Fellow Daoist Changling, can you allow my grandson to make a breakthrough right here on the second-order spirit vein in Bamboo Leaf Mountain, and we are willing to pay the spirit stones."
To impact the Foundation Establishment Stage, one needs to have a second-order spirit vein. Otherwise, the spirit pressure is insufficient, and the stage of transforming mana into liquid will easily fail.
Of course the Ning family has a second-order spirit vein, but they are worried about the long night on the road, which is why they are making this request.
"No!"
Huang Changling's face changed and he decisively refused.
"It's not that Huang is unsympathetic. Breaking through the Foundation Establishment stage will extract a large amount of heaven and earth spiritual qi, and the second-order spiritual vein in Bamboo Leaf Mountain is related to the operation and stability of the workshop's second-order protective array. At this extraordinary time, I hope that Fellow Daoist Ning will forgive me."
