Cultivation World 24 Auction

Wantong finally met the maker of the space gourd and felt very complicated.

Although he only has the foundation-building stage and will never be able to break through to the golden elixir stage in this lifetime, he still has many powers with the support of Wanxiang Tower. Even some golden elixir stage cultivators have to be gentle in front of him.

It is said that it is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain.

He is this villain. Wantong is very self-aware and is happy to cause the greatest trouble to others within the scope of his power.

Many novice alchemists and weapon practitioners have suffered losses at his hands.

But for Wanxianglou, it is a benefit.

Therefore, Wanxiang Building did not stop his behavior. On the surface, it did not encourage him, but in fact, it indulged him.

But this time it seems destined to fail.

Before Xie Yunsui's identity was exposed, Wantong was already in a state of panic because of him. At that time, he was thinking that when the day came to Wanxiang Tower for help, he would definitely make him bleed.

Who would have thought that he would be able to meet Venerable Ling Ye so soon?

Venerable Ling Ye is the most skilled weapon cultivator today. He has many disciples, and each of them is good at making magical weapons, which almost cover all kinds of magical equipment of yellow level, mysterious level, and earth level.

The magical instruments sold in Wanxiang Tower on a daily basis, as well as half of the items at the auction, all come from the Tianlang Immortal Sect.

No matter what, Wantong could not treat Xie Yunsui with the same attitude as before, and even had to be respectful.

Xie Yunsui listened to five minutes of flattery and couldn't take it any longer. "Butler Wan, what exactly is it that brought you here?"

Wan Tong paused and said, "Master Xie's spatial artifact is exquisitely crafted, especially the formation on it. It is truly rare. I was so excited to see it that I decided to include it in this auction without informing Master Xie. I was inconsiderate on the part of Wanxiang Tower..."

Xie Yunsui smiled and said, "Manager Wan, you're too polite. It's my fault for not revealing my identity in advance."

Seeing that he didn't seem to be accusing him of this, Wan Tong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The Space Gourd is originally special. I guarantee that it will fetch a high price. With this auction, Master Xie can just use it as a cash cow in the future... But recently, many Space Gourds have appeared on the market. I want to know how many Space Gourds Master Xie has refined?"

Xie Yunsui: "Eighteen thousand."

Wantong's eyes went dark. "Are they all sold?"

Xie Yunsui said, "It's originally a low-grade yellow-level magical weapon. I didn't know it would sell for such a high price. I've already negotiated supply agreements with several sects."

It's over, the Space Gourd deck is completely useless.

Wantong didn't dare to open his eyes, and even wanted to turn back time to the time before he came in and saw Xie Yunsui, so that he could pretend that he had not heard these words.

Xie Yunsui knew what Wantong was thinking, but he didn't think the space gourd could continue to be priced high.

The most special thing is the anti-theft formation above, which he developed based on his experience in the Western fantasy world.

The weapon cultivators in this world used the concepts commonly used in the world of cultivation, and they were unable to adapt to it for a while and failed to analyze the anti-theft formation.

But energy is universal. Just as Xie Yunsui easily integrated the formations of the world of cultivation, the weapon cultivators of this world will be able to crack it sooner or later. After cracking it, the space gourd will be the same.

Xie Yunsui took out the ninth-grade lotus platform that he was going to auction at Wanxiang Building at the right time.

"Manager Wan, how about taking a look at this magical weapon?"

-

On the day of the auction.

Led by his senior brother Tao Zhuo, Xie Yunsui came to the VIP passage of Wanxiang Building.

Ling Xiyuan was with the Pavilion Master and his senior sister and the others. As they were all from the Hengwu Pavilion, he was naturally more relaxed.

Wanxiang Tower sent a number of carriages and horses to personally welcome the distinguished guests, giving enough face to the disciples of the major sects.

Although Xie Yunsui had an item for auction, since it was his first time here, he didn't have the cards to show for it. Fortunately, the Tianlang Immortal Sect did.

"This way, please."

The greeter led the three people through several passages and came to a room that was luxuriously decorated and had a soundproofing formation.

There was a transparent stone screen facing the auction venue. Xie Yunsui took a look at it. He didn't know what material it was made of. It was a bit like one-way glass. You could see clearly from the inside out, but you couldn't see through it from the outside.

The privacy of VIPs is guaranteed to a great extent.

Tao Zhuo turned to the newly minted junior apprentice. Seeing him look around, he knew it was his first time here. He explained enthusiastically, "This room is reserved for our Tianlang Immortal Sect. When you come again in the future, you can use this room directly. Just hold your disciple card."

Xie Yunsui smiled faintly: "I understand."

Seeing that he was still a little reserved, Tao Zhuo simply sat down and asked someone to bring him some spiritual food and tea.

"There are only two of us here, so let's be casual and not pay attention to those formalities. We should eat and drink as needed. If there is anything you like, just press the spiritual weapon over there and the auctioneer will know."

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother."

Although it was Xie Yunsui's first time to attend an auction in the world of cultivation, he still had experience in other worlds. After observing this place, he sat down relaxedly on the soft couch.

The auction went about the same smoothly. Xie Yunsui compared the auction roster next to it, which had detailed pictures and texts, as well as more detailed introductions, such as how to use it or where it came from.

However, not all the items will be auctioned. The main and final items are still kept confidential. No matter how powerful the disciples of each sect are, they cannot know about them in advance.

This is naturally also a way for Wanxiang Building to attract attention.

Tao Zhuo was also looking at this list. It had been revealed before, but it had not been finalized. It had changed several times, but at most the order had changed, and the items were still fixed.

Now the space gourd on it has been replaced with a ninth-grade lotus platform.

Tao Zhuo's eyes fixed. The ninth-grade lotus platform was limited by its materials. Historically, the highest grade was the middle grade Xuan grade. However, the auctioneer introduced it as the upper grade Xuan grade.

Wanxianglou shouldn't have made such a low-level mistake. Tao Zhuo chuckled and said, "Come to think of it, even I haven't seen the ninth-grade lotus platform refined by Junior Brother Xie. Master praised it highly, and Wanxianglou replaced the spatial gourd with it without hesitation. I wonder what's so special about this lotus platform?"

Xie Yunsui said modestly, "I just added a few things to the previous one. If you are interested, I will make another one for you later."

Tao Zhuo said, "I also have a few magical instruments that I am good at. I hope you can pick out two that suit you as a gift for me."

As he was speaking, a crisp bell sounded from the auction venue.

Then the auctioneer's voice rang out: "Wanxiang Tower respectfully welcomes all distinguished guests! The auction officially begins!"

…

The room of Qingyan Sect disciples.

Xuan Ling had no interest in the items in front and was looking through the introductions to the items in the back.

"Senior Sister, it seems that the space gourd has been removed from Wanxiang Building."

Xuan Zhu, the leading disciple of Qing Yanzong, is currently stable in the early stage of Jindan. He came here for the last two items.

She is Xuan Ling's senior sister and also her cousin, and they have a close relationship.

The other disciples were all silent behind him, only Xuan Ling was very comfortable and said whatever he thought.

Xuan Zhu raised his eyes and said, "A low-grade yellow-level magical weapon shouldn't be there."

Xuan Ling was flipping through the booklet boredly when he suddenly laughed out loud, "Haha, Wanxiang Tower actually made a mistake in marking the grade. The Ninth-Rank Lotus Platform is a mid-level Xuan-grade magical weapon, but they marked it as a top-grade one."

A disciple at the back immediately laughed and said, "The manager who landed this time must have been so overwhelmed by the space gourd that he couldn't care less about these trivial matters."

"No matter how minor the details are, there shouldn't be any mistakes or omissions. Do you still want the reputation of Wanxiang Building?"

Xuan Zhu suddenly said, "Let me see the booklet."

Xuan Ling was puzzled, but still handed it over: "Senior Sister, aren't you interested in these things?"

Xuan Zhu's gaze rested on the ninth-grade lotus platform.

After she entered the Golden Core Stage, the various magical instruments she had used in the Foundation Establishment Stage could no longer keep up with her cultivation. She had now replaced them with several defensive instruments, but she was still missing one with high attack power.

The Ninth-Rank Lotus Platform was indeed offensive, but its attack method was too simple and it was only of mid-level quality. If it was used against a high-level magical weapon of the Upper Profound Realm, it would inevitably be suppressed.

Xuan-level magic tools can be used by Nascent Soul, so the higher the grade she wants, the better.

Wanxianglou is an old business, and the managers there have unique and ruthless vision. Nothing they mark incorrectly.

This lotus platform can actually break through the limitations of the middle grade. I think it must have its unique features.

There are many people who think like Xuan Zhu.

At first they all thought that the ordering of goods at Wanxiang Building was wrong, and they kindly reminded the manager to correct it as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, the manager replied that the quality was correct, which aroused everyone's curiosity.

As more than a dozen lots were successfully hammered down without any failure, the atmosphere in the venue became more and more heated.

The auctioneer looked at the items brought up this time and smiled. "The next item is the Ninth-grade Lotus Platform, a Xuan-level, top-grade offensive magical weapon. The starting price is 5,000 low-grade spirit stones!"

Unlike the guests in the private rooms, the audience in the inner court did not have a brochure of the auction items, so they only now found out about the nine-grade lotus platform.

After hearing what the auctioneer said, he immediately began to question it.

"Ninth-grade Lotus Platform...isn't it a mid-grade Xuan-level magical weapon?"

"For such a huge Wanxiang Building, they can't even determine the grade?"

"Huh—could the auctioneer have made a mistake? Did he call a mid-grade item a top-grade item?"

…

The auctioneer is well-trained and will naturally not be affected by the comments in the venue.

The other items were basically introduced briefly. When it came to the ninth-grade lotus platform, Manager Wan said that despite the detailed explanation, the auctioneer naturally began the display.

In the private room on the second floor, Qingwen leaned over the window sill to look down and listen to the auctioneer's introduction. He couldn't help but sigh, "Ninth-grade Lotus Platform, Senior Brother Ling, have you found a magical instrument like this before? When he tried to sell it in the secret realm, no one was interested."

Ling Xiyuan sat beside the Pavilion Master, but looked down without blinking, and replied: "My ninth-grade lotus platform is a repaired inferior product, it can't be compared with this."

"Huh? This lotus platform actually has more than just an attack formation?"

As Zhao Ying listened to the introduction, she couldn't help but lean over to the window.

The auctioneer downstairs was pointing at the lotus petals that had always been used as decoration and introducing them: "Nine lotus petals, each with nine control arrays. Each control array can be used individually, in pairs, or all nine at once. Coordinated attacks greatly increase the number of attack methods, making it difficult for opponents to defend themselves. Everyone, please watch—"

When they heard about the nine control formations, the people below knew why this ninth-grade lotus platform was rated as top-grade, and their eyes became fiery and their breathing became rapid.

But unexpectedly, the auctioneer hadn't finished speaking yet, and it seemed that there was a back-up plan?

The auctioneer continued, "Look closely at the red dot within this lotus petal. It's a blazing fire symbol embedded within it. In a life-or-death situation, a single petal is a lifeline. A single burst of spiritual energy is enough to shatter the petals..."

There were gasps from the audience, and before the auctioneer could finish, someone shouted, "I bid! Six thousand spirit stones!"

"Six thousand five!"

"I'll give you eight thousand!"

"Ten thousand! No one can snatch it from me!"

…

Inside the Qingyan Sect's box, Xuan Zhu couldn't help but stand up and personally walked to the spiritual weapon and pressed it.

She is determined to obtain this ninth-grade lotus platform.

The auctioneer in the venue suddenly looked up and made a bid:

"The second distinguished guest bids 20,000 spirit stones."
