"I'll offer three high-grade spirit stones!"
"Four high-grade spirit stones!"
In the auction hall, the martial artists on the third-floor terrace had already begun bidding fiercely for the Breakthrough Pill.
The group of martial artists sitting in the hall were momentarily speechless. The high-grade spirit stones were already quite valuable, and using them to buy a sixth-grade beginner pill, the Breakthrough Pill, was indeed a waste of their resources.
After all, this Breakthrough Pill is not a pill for cultivation or healing. Apart from preventing the invasion of miasma, it has no other function.
However, Qin Xin now naturally wants to enter the tomb of that Earth Profound Realm expert. The formula for the Breaking Miasma Pill is extremely secret, so his desire to refine it himself is a pipe dream. He can only obtain it by purchasing it.
"Five high-grade spirit stones!"
Qin Xin sat in a corner of the hall, deliberately lowering his voice as he announced his price.
On the platform in the auction hall, Mu Qing looked up with some curiosity after hearing Qin Xin's bid.
These five high-grade spirit stones would be an extremely valuable asset for some small families; ordinary people would never be able to afford to buy a useless Morbidity-Breaking Pill.
Even if these families send warriors with strength below the Solid Core Realm to enter the tombs of Earth Profound Realm experts, they will mostly not gain anything and there are many dangers involved. Naturally, these small families will keep a low profile and be unwilling to participate before each opening of an Earth Profound Realm expert's tomb.
Qin Xin, who was in the main hall at the moment, was naturally not a scion of a prominent family; otherwise, he would have been sitting on the third-floor terrace or in a private room on the fourth floor.
Seeing that even martial artists in the main hall dared to make offers, the family disciples on the terrace, who were of decent strength, naturally wouldn't give up so easily.
The price quickly rose to "ten high-grade spirit stones"!
Such an exorbitant price could buy several high-grade sixth-rank pills. Other martial artists who had originally planned to compete also maintained their last shred of rationality and stopped bidding.
For many families, they already have close ties with the Red Ridge City Pill Academy, so it is not difficult to purchase the Breaking Miasma Pill through the back door.
Of course, Qin Xin guessed this from the fact that the group of martial artists in the fourth-floor private room had not made any bids. Moreover, Qin Xin could sense through his spiritual sense that many martial artists in these private rooms were exchanging information.
Unfortunately, due to the restriction, Qin Xin could not hear it clearly.
"I am Murong Fu from the Murong family. I offer fifteen high-grade spirit stones. I hope you will do me the honor!"
Just as Qin Xin was about to make another bid, a young man's voice leisurely drifted out from the private room on the fourth floor.
Upon hearing Murong Fu's name, the martial artists who had been raising prices on the terrace immediately fell silent and stopped bidding.
Qin Xin didn't care about the Murong family or Murong Fu, and immediately raised the price, saying, "Sixteen high-grade spirit stones!"
Qin Xin's words were like stirring up a hornet's nest.
In this Red Ridge City, anyone who dares to offend the Murong family can be described as a ruthless person.
In Chiling City, the Murong family has always been number one in terms of family strength. Even the Chiling City Pill Academy gives them some respect.
Now, Qin Xin, this arrogant young man who doesn't know his own limitations, dares to challenge the Murong family, which is a completely disrespectful act.
Murong Fu, inside the private room, forcibly suppressed the anger rising in his heart when he heard that someone below was so disrespectful.
He stepped out of the private room and looked directly at the seat where Qin Xin was sitting.
Qin Xin naturally noticed Murong Fu, who came out of the private room. He was dressed in a white robe and looked like an extremely dashing young master. He also had long sideburns on both sides, which made him look somewhat effeminate.
However, the man's voice was very deep and honest as he stared intently at Qin Xin and said, "Boy, don't you know I'm from the Murong family?"
Qin Xin did not avoid Murong Fu's gaze, and looked back at him in the same way, shrugging his shoulders as if to indicate that he didn't care.
"Isn't this auction just about the highest bidder winning?" Qin Xin's voice echoed throughout the entire Dan Academy auction venue.
Qin Xin's words immediately garnered the approval of many martial artists.
Because of the numerous interactions between the major families and the Pill Academy, they can obtain the pills they want through more convenient means. However, this leaves many smaller families behind, who can only come to the Red Ridge City compound to purchase pills.
This extremely unbalanced situation means that some small families' martial artists do not have enough cultivation resources, and their foundation is very weak.
Murong Fu, who was outside the private room, also looked rather unpleasant after hearing Qin Xin's words. Clearly, Qin Xin's actions were a complete disregard for the Murong family.
"Good! Very good! You are truly fearless, like a newborn calf. In this Red Ridge City, my Murong clan has never seen anyone dare to be so disrespectful!"
"I'll offer twenty high-grade spirit stones. If you can continue offering, then I'll let you have them."
Murong Fu looked down from his high vantage point, his voice carrying a hint of threat.
This move put Qin Xin in a dilemma. If he forcibly took the Miasma-Breaking Pill, he would offend Murong Fu and likely encounter a lot of trouble in Chiling City afterward.
However, this so-called threat was nothing to Qin Xin. His path of martial arts cultivation was all about pursuing his true self, and it would certainly not be his style to back down because of it.
Furthermore, during the bidding process with Murong Fu, it was clear that he had already been targeted by the other party; otherwise, he wouldn't have specifically left the private room to stand out and see Qin Xin's appearance.
"I'll offer twenty-one high-grade spirit stones. Of course, if you raise the price, I'll give up this Miasma-Breaking Pill." Qin Xin said calmly, showing no fear of the threat.
If the price of the Miasma-Breaking Pill is too high, Qin Xin also plans to enter the tomb of the Earth Profound Realm expert through other methods. After all, with the knowledgeable old man Dan Qing around, he should be able to solve the problem of the miasma. However, this would cause considerable trouble.
Standing outside the private room, Murong Fu's face darkened instantly after hearing Qin Xin continue to bid.
As the future successor of the Murong family, he was now being harassed by a young man whose background he didn't know in this auction house, and naturally he was unwilling to lower his head this time.
Just as Murong Fu was about to bid again, a middle-aged man dressed as a guard seemed to whisper something in his ear.
After listening, Murong Fu immediately gave up competing for the miasma pill.
He glanced at Qin Xin from afar, as if trying to memorize his appearance, before turning and walking into the private room.
"Congratulations to this young man for winning two Miasma Pills for twenty-one high-grade spirit stones!" Mu Qing, as if possessing a keen intuition, announced the auction results directly.
