Chapter 9 Disappointment and Joy



Things didn't go as planned.

Several days passed, but no suitable method was found.

The auctioneer on the stage has been replaced by a third person.

The man, a middle-aged cultivator still at the Purple Mansion stage, smiled and said, "This auction has been going on for five days, and today should be the last day of this auction."

"Next comes the highlight of this auction. Fellow Daoists, if you are interested, don't miss it, or you'll have to wait ten years."

"The first item up for auction is a top-tier Qi Refining stage cultivation technique called Jade Spirit Profound Technique. It is suitable for cultivators with wood or water spiritual roots. Once cultivated to the Great Perfection level, it can increase the chances of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage."

"It's hard to say exactly how much, as it depends on the individual cultivator's spiritual roots. But even a slight increase in the chances of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage is invaluable, and I probably don't need to elaborate on its preciousness."

"Fellow Daoists, don't miss this opportunity! The starting bid is 50,000 spirit stones!"

The moment this technique was put up for auction, it immediately caused an uproar.

The gazes of most people in the hall instantly turned fervent. After all, most of them were Qi Refining stage cultivators, and the appearance of this cultivation technique would undoubtedly ignite fierce competition.

The sounds of bidding immediately rose and fell.

"It's actually a top-tier cultivation technique that can increase the chances of breaking through, but unfortunately, it doesn't include any techniques for the Foundation Establishment stage."

"Hehe, if there were cultivation techniques at the Foundation Establishment stage, would it only cost 50,000 spirit stones? The starting bid would probably be 100,000."

"That's the theory, but it's almost useless for people like us who have reached the Great Perfection level. For such a small chance, we would spend over ten years trying to switch cultivations, and then we would have to switch again after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage... Unless you are a genius who is old enough and doesn't have to worry about the sixty-year mark."

"It's a pity I didn't encounter it in the mid-stage of Qi Refining, otherwise I would have definitely taken a picture of it no matter what."

"It can increase the chances of a breakthrough, and it's a top-tier cultivation technique. It's practically on par with the Qi Refining methods of the top immortal sects!"

"..."

Amidst much discussion, the bidding continued unabated.

Faced with such a technique, Lin Xiuyuan was also tempted. In terms of financial resources, he was confident that he could acquire it.

However, being tempted is just that—being tempted. Participating in the auction is not a rational thing to do.

Even if you win the bid, it's useless. If you can't solve the poison problem, you won't even be able to break through to the Great Perfection Realm, let alone establish your foundation!

Qin Suwan, standing to the side, was also quite interested in this. This kind of cultivation method was most suitable for a genius like her. She would have ample time to leisurely switch cultivation methods.

If she had enough money, Qin Suwan would definitely have bought it, but unfortunately she didn't...

However, Qin Suwan had few regrets. For her, entering the five top immortal sects was not difficult, and cultivating top-level techniques was only a matter of time.

This cultivation technique quickly surpassed the 100,000 mark.

The price was rapidly approaching 200,000 low-grade spirit stones. At this point, it was estimated that the main participants in the bidding were all prominent cultivation families.

It was eventually sold to someone in the private room for 280,000 spirit stones.

Next came a series of top-tier cultivation techniques, spells, secret methods, and spiritual items up for auction.

In the end, almost everything was auctioned off for at least 100,000 spirit stones!

However, no solution for erysipelas has yet emerged.

Lin Xiuyuan sighed slightly, took out a Bigu Pill, and swallowed it.

At this point, others began to leave, but some remained seated, waiting for the next auction to begin.

"I need to attend the next auction. If you don't have anything you want to bid on, you can leave now."

"It's alright. Maybe there will be something I want to photograph later. I'm mostly here to join in the fun, so I might as well come along," Qin Suwan said with a smile.

He then took out a Bigu Pill and swallowed it, slowly closing his eyes to refine it.

As most people left, the venue gradually quieted down.

The noise subsided into silence, and each of them was lost in their own thoughts.

Lin Xiuyuan quietly refined the Bigu Pill. In this vast venue, he felt as if he were waiting for the screen to rise or for beautiful musical instruments to begin playing.

Qin Suwan closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling, feeling the quiet atmosphere. It was like the rare tranquility she felt when they meditated together in that dangerous forest, and a sense of peace welled up inside her, causing ripples to spread through her heart.

After two or three hours.

As the crowd arrived, the venue became noisy and lively again.

The third auction is about to begin.

However, Lin Xiuyuan's expectations had already dropped to the lowest level.

The rare and precious natural treasures that can neutralize the poison of pills are all of the highest rank and rarest quality. If they were to appear, they would most likely only be available at a top-tier auction, but he was not qualified to participate.

Nowadays, most people place their hopes on some miraculous pills.

Sure enough, no suitable rare and precious materials appeared in the following auctions, not even the highly anticipated elixirs.

However, during this time, Lin Xiuyuan spent tens of thousands of spirit stones to bid on a number of low-level natural treasures to aid his cultivation.

As the auction drew to a close, the items up for auction were mostly rare and precious elixirs and rare medicinal materials.

For those in the Qi Refining stage, these are top-tier cultivation resources.

However, they are quite valuable, and most are unaffordable to bid on... and there is nothing needed.

Lin Xiuyuan couldn't help but sigh inwardly, a look of barely suppressed disappointment on his face, as he prepared to leave.

However, the items being auctioned at this moment caught Qin Suwan's attention, making her extremely interested, and a hint of fervor appeared in her eyes.
