Chapter 119
Hot big scene
It was dawn, when the sun just came out, and this large-scale auction competition officially opened.
Under Yan Qingyan's gaze, a cold and beautiful female cultivator in colorful clothes walked to the stage and glanced casually at the audience.
"Everyone, I am Guan Xun, the person in charge of this large-scale auction in Huayan City hosted by Qianji Pavilion. This auction will last for seven days, and the rules are slightly different from those of previous regular auctions. I believe everyone has already understood them in advance. I would like to reiterate the general rules here. First, no fighting is allowed at the auction venue..."
Guan Xun's cold voice was mixed with a special spiritual power, so that the people present would not be bored to death after hearing this slightly boring opening speech. Instead, their minds were subconsciously attracted by the voice and they kept the rules of the venue firmly in mind.
Yan Qingyan secretly praised him, saying that he could stand in front of so many cultivators without changing his expression and with ease. He was worthy of being the one who could host such a major event. What a skill!
As Guan Xun finished speaking, the time had just arrived for the first item of the auction agreed upon in the 'Heavenly Oath'.
"The first auction item is a golden elixir! The starting price is 70,000 medium-grade spirit stones!"
The first item to be auctioned is the 'bomb'. Foundation-building pills are hard to come by, and golden pills are even harder to come by!
The most common realm among the cultivators present is the Foundation Establishment Stage. Who doesn’t need a Golden Elixir? Who doesn’t want to reach a higher level?
This pill was equivalent to grabbing their vital points at once, instantly creating a huge upsurge in the auction venue!
"Eighty thousand mid-grade spirit stones!"
“Ninety thousand!”
"One hundred thousand!"
“…”
"This time the starting price is much higher than the price the Luo family called out in Feilan City last time." Yan Qingyan thought about the Jindan that she found at the Luo family auction. What was the starting price?
"Probably to save time. After all, this auction is a competition of time." Ling Mochen said.
The higher the starting price, the shorter the time it takes for the price to rise to the final transaction price. This auction is not only about how valuable the treasures are, but also about the number of items that can actually be auctioned.
Naturally, the shorter the time each item takes up, the better.
Yan Qingyan nodded and said thoughtfully: "Is that Jindan the one you provided?"
Although the pills all looked similar, she had a hunch that this pill was taken by Mo Chen.
"It's me. I provided more than one pill. I provided a total of eighteen pills." Ling Mochen's face felt a little unnatural when he thought of this number.
Who could have imagined that the 'Foundation Building Pill' and 'Golden Pill', which Qingyang City once regarded as treasures, would one day be available in such large quantities for auction?
He actually still had nearly a hundred golden elixirs in his hand, but after thinking it over, he did not dare to take out too many. Such a large number of golden elixirs would inevitably attract the investigation of those who were interested.
He was just an alchemist, so naturally he couldn't create elixirs out of thin air. The spiritual plants used to refine elixirs were the real key.
Qingyan's ability to cultivate spiritual plants is a major secret that is countless times higher than that of the Cleansing Spirit Grass and the Nine-Turn Spirit Grass. Once it is made public, it will inevitably cause a sensation and scramble that is countless times stronger than before!
"Eighteen pills? That's good. Scarcity makes things valuable. Rather than taking out more of the same pill, increasing the diversity of pill types is the best strategy." Yan Qingyan said.
The first golden elixir was finally sold for 270,000 medium-grade spirit stones.
"The second auction item is still a Golden Core, two in number, with a starting price of 400,000 mid-grade spirit stones!"
The starting price is higher again!
"The starting price is more than twice as high!" Yan Qingyan smacked her lips.
The starting price of the first pill was 80,000, and although the second pill became two, the price was not 160,000, but a full 400,000!
"It seems that Guan Xun gave the starting price based on the auction result of the previous Golden Pill." This can save time to the greatest extent and avoid being left out.
Sure enough, the number of people bidding this time was more than half less than last time!
In the end, the two bundled golden elixirs were sold for 620,000 medium-grade spirit stones.
The third item is still the golden elixir.
Three!
"My goodness, Mo Chen, you are not going to shoot all your golden elixir at the beginning, right?" Yan Qingyan was a little confused by this operation.
“No, putting the Golden Core at the beginning of the game is probably to attract more Foundation Establishment cultivators to come. Auctioning six Golden Cores in a row is like giving everyone a signal that ‘there are still many Golden Cores’.” Ling Mochen guessed.
"There are limited spirit stones in the Foundation Establishment Stage. I hope there will be more treasures that can be used in the Golden Core Stage." Yan Qingyan said.
In the end, three golden elixirs were sold for 910,000 medium-grade spirit stones.
"The next item is a piece of top-quality wood spirit crystal marrow, which is very suitable for cultivators with wood spirit roots to practice. The starting price is 300,000 mid-grade spirit stones!"
After the previous item was auctioned, Guan Xun started a new round of items without stopping.
Hearing the familiar name, Yan Qingyan fell silent.
My goodness, why are all the things provided by her and Mo Chen? Can't there be some 'fresh stuff'?
No one knew about Yan Qingyan’s complaints, otherwise she would have attracted countless envious and jealous looks.
These treasures are all scarce goods, especially the four words "Wood Spirit Crystal Marrow". When they came out, all the cultivators with wood spirit roots present were excited.
"Three hundred and ten thousand!"
"Three hundred and thirty thousand!"
"Three hundred and sixty thousand!"
"Four hundred thousand!"
“…”
Yan Qingyan was delighted when she heard the ever-increasing number of spirit stones.
“It’s different when there are more people,” she sighed.
If this Wood Spirit Crystal Marrow was put up for auction at the Luo Family Auction in Feilan City, it would never have created such a hot scene.
No wonder so many cultivators travel thousands of miles to Huayan City. In addition to betting in the gambling house, they want to exchange the treasures in their hands for more spirit stones, right?
"Eight hundred and eighty thousand middle-grade spirit stones!"
Wow, it has increased nearly three times!
Yan Qingyan's mind was wandering. With so many spirit stones, would they be enough for her to feed the spiritual spring space better? Wouldn't that make the spiritual plants in the space grow faster?
"Mo Chen, should we order some 'new goods' for the auction? Such a grand event is hard to come by!"
She didn't know when the next large auction like this would be, so she just wanted to 'strike while the iron is hot' and accumulate more spirit stones.
The more spirit stones you accumulate, the larger the space will be, the faster the spirit plants will grow, the more years and numbers of spirit plants will grow, the more pills you can sell and refine, and you can exchange them for more and larger amounts of spirit stones...
This is a positive reinforcement loop, and everything is getting better and better!
“What a hot and exciting scene!”
Yan Qingyan felt her Dao heart surge, as if she could have an "enlightenment" on the spot, and broke through to the middle stage of the Golden Core in a euphoric state!
Just as Yan Qingyan was thinking this, a familiar wave suddenly came from the box next door.
All those present were cultivators, and this fluctuation instantly attracted the attention of everyone present, causing an exclamation of surprise.
“Someone had an epiphany!”
Yan Qingyan: ...
