"Next up for auction is a rare and precious elixir that is useless for improving our cultivation: the Youth Preservation Pill. I don't need to elaborate on its value, do I?"
On the auction stage, an old man in a green robe held up a jade bottle containing two dark white pills that shimmered with iridescent light. He said, "Both pills will be auctioned together. The starting bid is 25,000 low-grade spirit stones."
After the words were spoken, most of the cultivators tentatively called out a price, mostly casually.
As cultivators, they refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, circulating it throughout their bodies at all times. This gives them the ability to maintain their youthful appearance and prevents them from aging easily.
Even in the initial stages of cultivating immortality and refining qi, one's lifespan can reach over 120 years. It is only after the age of sixty or seventy, when qi and blood weaken, that one's appearance gradually ages.
Therefore, most cultivators are not very interested in this. Although they may have the desire, no one wants to become an old man with white hair.
However, the Youth Preservation Pill, which is worth at least 20,000 to 30,000 each, is considered a luxury item by most cultivators. The price is too high. It would be better to exchange it for resources to improve cultivation and break through to the Foundation Establishment stage as soon as possible. At that time, one's blood and qi will be abundant, and one's appearance will naturally remain youthful.
However, the mindset is quite different for female cultivators. At the end of each cultivation stage, it's difficult to resist the weakening of blood and energy. The importance of beauty for female cultivators is self-evident.
Most of the female cultivators, like Qin Suwan, had extremely fervent expressions in their eyes.
Qin Suwan's gaze was fixed on him, but she quickly looked troubled and turned to speak:
"Fellow Daoist Lin, if we bid on both at once, I'm a bit short on spirit stones. How about we bid together? That way, we can each take one. If that doesn't work, we can repay you with our monthly stipends later?"
Seeing Qin Suwan's expectant expression, Lin Xiuyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Then let's bid. The total price should not exceed 80,000 spirit stones."
Although he had spent tens of thousands of spirit stones, he still had nearly 100,000 left. After all, it was seven years' worth of savings, which was much higher than the returns of an average Foundation Establishment expert.
Since the method of using the poison pills has no future, and there's no point in keeping the spirit stones for now, let's just sell them. I won't feel bad about it. Although Lin Xiuyuan doesn't care much about his appearance, he doesn't want to gradually become an old man with white hair.
Seeing Lin Xiuyuan nod in agreement, Qin Suwan couldn't help but show an extremely happy expression, her face beaming with a bright smile.
Like the ephemeral beauty of the night-blooming cereus, its fleeting splendor is incredibly captivating.
