"Everyone, I'm sure you've all gotten a little impatient waiting. On behalf of Wan Yang Tower, I'd like to apologize to you all."
"In this case, I will no longer speak in official language."
"The annual Fengyang City Auction begins now!"
The white-haired old man in luxurious clothes looked at the crowd of people in the venue with a smile.
As one of the main cities in the Eastern Region, Fengyang City has a population and wealth that is simply impossible to calculate. What they have to do is to take a big bite of this wealth.
After looking at the auction list, he was very confident about it.
As the auctioneer's voice fell, a blinding light suddenly burst out from the huge auction platform.
After a moment, the strong light gradually disappeared, and on the crystal stage, on the auction table in front of the white-haired auctioneer, a scarlet long sword appeared.
The monks in the front row immediately felt a wave of heat coming towards them, their hair curled slightly, and their mouths became dry.
The appearance of this long sword immediately livened up the atmosphere.
Wanyang Tower also specially filled the auction table with luminous prisms, which shone on the sword from various angles, making this fire sword appear even more mysterious.
Looking at the spiritual energy flowing on the sword and the exquisite carvings, it is obvious that this is a high-level flying sword of the Xuan grade carefully forged by a famous craftsman.
"This sword is called Jiuyao, and it was forged by Master Huang of Fengshan. It is so powerful that it can melt gold and break iron. It is the best choice for fire sword cultivators!"
"Please note that the handle of this sword is perfectly embedded with a demon pill of a wood demon in the demon pill stage."
"The wood spirit creates fire, which greatly increases the power of this flying sword and can also greatly reduce the user's spiritual energy consumption."
"If someone who cultivates the wood and fire attributes uses this sword to fight the enemy, its power will definitely be even greater."
"A magical weapon is a must-have item when you go out. It is said that sword cultivation consumes too much spiritual energy. This sword will definitely solve your problems."
"If you are interested, please don't be stingy with your money. Spiritual stones are valuable, but you have to be alive to enjoy them, right?"
The old man took the Nine Yang Flying Sword and pointed the tip of the sword at a human-shaped piece of black gold on the stage. A red sword light shot out and instantly pierced through the thick black gold target, leaving only a small hole in a molten state.
The cultivators off the field all gasped in shock, because real gold is not afraid of fire. This is far superior to ordinary gold and is a very high-temperature resistant metal in the world of immortal cultivation.
But the Nine Lights Sword could melt it with a single strike. You have to know that the auctioneer has never sacrificed this flying sword and cannot bring out its full power, so it can have such power. If a true fire sword cultivator sacrificed it and refined it into a life-long flying sword, what would it be like?
"The starting price is 100,000 Spiritual Stones. Please make your bid!"
"A fire-type flying sword..."
Looking at the flying sword, Jiang Li shook his head and showed no great interest. Although he had a high-level talent for swordsmanship and the skills of a sword practitioner, he would still be a peerless genius if he became a full-time swordsman.
But Jiang Li already has his own flying sword. Compared with the Immortal-Slaying Flying Sword, this Jiuyao is far, far inferior. Why should he settle for second best?
The really good stuff is all coming up.
Of course, just because Jiang Li is not interested doesn’t mean others are not interested.
For cultivators, a suitable weapon can save their lives, especially for sword cultivators from small forces. They do not have a sword pool that can stably produce high-quality flying swords like the Five Elements Peak of Mount Shu, and they have always had a great demand for flying swords.
As soon as the white-haired old man finished speaking, a number of bidding sounds were heard in the store.
After the first bidding lasted for minutes, the Nine-Light Flying Sword was successfully bought by a swordsman wearing a bamboo hat at the price of 147,000 low-grade spirit stones.
The swordsman was holding a broken sword in his arms, which showed that he was in urgent need of a flying sword as a replacement.
The first auction ended smoothly, and then many dazzling treasures appeared on the auction table one after another.
Magical weapons, spells, skills, spiritual materials and so on.
There was even one time when two princesses from a small country were pushed onto the auction stage. They were no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, with fair skin, pure and sweet looks, and amazingly developed figures. They were also a pair of identical looking twins.
Of course, in front of these senior monks, appearance alone is not enough to make them generous.
The twins were carefully raised for a year, taking secret elixirs every day, and were refined into twin cauldrons using sophisticated methods.
Absorbing their vital yin can also have a powerful effect in assisting in realm breakthroughs.
Finally, after a fierce competition, the twin princesses of the small country were bought by a charming female cultivator.
Well, this is just Jiang Li being surprised by something he has never seen before. This pair of twin cauldrons can also be used by female cultivators, and it can also have the added effect of maintaining youth and beautifying the skin.
Jiang Li stood in front of the crystal floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the price competition in the field, and was also amazed.
There are so many wealthy cultivators in the Eastern Region, with hundreds of thousands of spirit stones at their fingertips.
It turns out that leader Jiang Lijiang is still a poor man.
He closed his eyes slightly, waiting for something that would make his heart beat.
In the early stages of the auction, there were no unusual items that could stir up the atmosphere.
Although the auction items are all good things and rarely seen in normal times, it is not difficult to buy them.
Jiang Li also arranged for the cultivators from Qingshanju to auction off some of the high-grade furnaces, magic weapons, and elixirs seized from Bailian Mountain under another identity.
He also cashed in a lot of spirit stones here and there, making his wealth much more abundant.
The monks who had bid fiercely in the early stages basically only sat in the ordinary seats and third-class VIP seats below.
There was no movement in the first and second class boxes. These big forces had their own complete logistics teams and masters of all types, so there was no need to hold an auction here.
At this time, another clear bell sounded from the auction table. The light on the table was slowly adjusted to a dim red light.
The white-haired auctioneer, with a smile on his face, carried a coffin and placed it on the main auction table.
As the velvet cloth was lifted, a red light immediately attracted the attention of everyone.
This strange and beautiful bright red color penetrates directly into the soul through the eyes. When a monk with poor concentration sees it, he will be dazzled and involuntarily move closer to the red color.
"I'm sure you're all familiar with this beautiful flower. Even children have heard of its name."
"Yes, this is the rare treasure from the underworld produced in the Ghost King Wasteland that has been causing a stir in the Eastern Region recently, the Red Spider Lily!"
"As for the function of this red spider lily, there are even more."
"Most of the soul elixir recipes handed down from ancient times require this flower from the other shore as the medicine."
"The soul and spirit have always been the most difficult part for cultivators of our generation to cultivate. Even if one possesses a soul cultivation method, progress will inevitably be extremely slow and full of obstacles."
"But if this flower could be used as medicine, it would greatly speed up the process."
"Everyone knows that when the soul becomes strong, it will be of great help to both Qi training and physical training. This may be your chance to change your fate and reshape your life!"
The old auctioneer pointed at the red spider lily blooming in front of him and said with a smile.
This old man's auctioneer skills are indeed amazing.
Although red spider lily is rare, it is only one of the main ingredients in the recipe of the Soul Pill.
You need to first have a recipe for the Soul Pill, then gather the other materials, and then you will need a master-level alchemist to help you make the pill.
Only then can you take medicine to assist in the cultivation of your spirit and soul. Whether you can change your fate after that depends on your destiny.
Although it is suspected of false advertising, Jiang Li likes it.
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, there was quite a commotion in the auction hall.
Since the discovery of the underworld illusion, only about one thousand red spider lilies have been brought out.
At this auction, there were suddenly 733 flowers, which was really surprising.
What was even more surprised were the spiritual plant masters on the field.
As professional spiritual plant masters, they could tell at a glance that the coffin's red spider lily was extraordinary.
The appearance is so perfect, fresh, healthy and full of vitality, unlike the red spider lilies we usually see, which are sick due to unsuitable environment.
"Of course, if that were all, it should have been put up for auction several rounds ago."
The old auctioneer smiled and paused deliberately before continuing.
“I believe that the spiritual plant masters present have already seen it.”
This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
"To be honest, these red spider lilies were not picked from the Ghost King Wasteland. Instead, they were cultivated and propagated by a spiritual plant master who does not want to reveal his name."
"You can see that in the corpse under the flowers, there are fresh roots growing, and this master is willing to sell this corpse, which contains the secret of cultivating the red spider lily!"
"Everyone, this is not just a soul that can change your destiny, it is also a wealth code that can earn a large amount of spirit stones!"
"The auction reserve price is four hundred thousand!"
"Four hundred and ten thousand!"
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, someone in the ordinary seats below shouted out loudly.
"Four hundred and fifty thousand!"
There were obviously many people interested in the red spider lily in the coffin. In just one or two breaths, the previous bidding price was surpassed.
Jiang Li stood quietly in front of the crystal window, playing with the ring of the Dragon Prison Lock with his fingers, listening to the increasing price ringing in his ears.
A smile appeared on the young face.
The speed of making money here is much faster than Qingshanju. Of course, Qingshanju is a long-term stream of money, and it is also a powerful tool for absorbing spirit stones.
The bidding sounds continued to rise and fall in the auction hall for just quarter of an hour.
The price of the red spider lily in this coffin increased from 400,000 to about 680,000.
This is far more than the market value of 733 red spider lilies.
At this time, the monks below no longer participated in the auction. Without the support of a strong spiritual plant team, they were unable to discover the true value of the red spider lily in the coffin.
Only the boxes above were still considering the game.
"Seven hundred thousand!"
At this time, a slightly cold voice came from the only VIP box above that did not have a crystal floor-to-ceiling window.
Jiang Li raised his head slightly. There was no doubt that it was the third son of Wantu Clan, Wu Loulan.
Just now, when he used his gaze to pressure the cultivators off the field, Jiang Li noticed that the other party was using murderous aura to practice spiritual exercises.
This red spider lily is naturally of great use to him.
But as for the method of propagating red spider lilies that they are looking forward to, I’m sorry, Jiang Li never said that you can definitely learn it.
Wantumen's bidding made the auction scene much quieter, and some spiritual plant masters who wanted to grit their teeth and continue bidding also gave up this plan.
Although it’s a pity to have so many red spider lilies, the price is already close to the limit, and it’s not worth offending the Wantu Clan for this.
"VIP Room No. 13, the price is 700,000 Spiritual Stones. Is there anyone else who wants to raise the price?"
"If not, then these 733 red spider lilies, plus a cultivated corpse fat, will be obtained by the distinguished guest in VIP Room No. 13. Congratulations!"
The old auctioneer was quite satisfied with the price. After all, it was still unclear whether he could figure out how to grow red spider lilies.
How much this kind of luck is worth depends on personal judgment. It is already quite rare to be able to sell it at this price.
In box 73, Jiang Li was in a very good mood.
On the one hand, another 700,000 spirit stones were deposited into the account. On the other hand, although the Wantu Clan and their Dachongshan had not yet officially gone to war, they were already in an unavoidable hostile relationship. It would be nice to be able to cheat them a little.
After Jiang Li's red spider lily was sold, the organizer was smart enough to put a series of Ghost King Wasteland specialties together for auction.
Among them were ten real Three Life Stones, which caused fierce competition among various major forces.
It was finally sold at a high price of 1.42 million.
Just for a chance to enter and explore the fantasy world, these big forces can spend millions. This kind of generosity is really not something that ordinary people can do.
After these waves of high-selling items, the following items have become a little more ordinary again.
For a period of time, no high prices were achieved. For some items, the prices were only mentioned once and then they were successfully sold at a low price.
This made the auctioneer on the stage a little embarrassed. But this was the arrangement of the auction house, putting the ordinary items in the middle and the good items at the beginning and the end.
But the next thing made Jiang Li's eyes widen. He put one hand on the crystal floor-to-ceiling window, wanting to get a closer look.
It was a black stone with two smooth and regular sides engraved with incomprehensible ancient runes, while the rest of the stone was irregular in shape.
It looked like a piece of debris that had broken off from a stone tablet.
"Everyone, please take a look at the surface of this fragment. After a detailed appraisal by our Wanyang Tower appraiser, it is a kind of rune engraving passed down from ancient times. Its main function is to record information."
"Although this black stone is just a fragment of a certain relic, our appraiser found that as long as a certain strength of spiritual stone is input into it, a large amount of information can be read from it."
"If we can reorganize this information, perhaps we can obtain the heritage from ancient times."
"Ahem, the auction reserve price is 90,000 spirit stones."
Apparently, Wanyang Tower had held this item for a long time, but had not gained anything from it.
The other forces are not fools either. There are actually quite a few things passed down from ancient times on the Kyushu continent.
The Cangyun Continent under their feet was handed down from ancient times, and it did not appear out of thin air. But not everything in it is valuable.
They cannot make a big move just for a few ancient spirit carvings.
But in the second-class VIP room No. 73, there were two people who looked particularly excited.
"Grandmaster, is that what it is?"
Jiang Li looked at the founder of Sutra Valley named Zhu with some uncertainty.
"That's right! The materials look the same, the carvings on the surface are exactly the same, and even the outlines of the fractures match perfectly!"
