After the price of a Foundation Establishment Pill soared to a thousand low-grade spirit stones, it became unaffordable for some Qi Refining cultivators.
After all, cultivators who have remained stagnant in the late stage of Qi Refining for decades are all cultivators with low aptitude. These cultivators are generally not valued by their sects, so they are usually short of money.
A thousand low-grade spirit stones might be a piece of cake for those genius-type cultivators, but for them, it's an astronomical figure.
Because they didn't have enough spirit stones, they had to give up the bidding. Some cultivators even offered to exchange their magic treasures for spirit stones.
In the eyes of these cultivators, a magic weapon can be obtained again if it is lost, but if this Foundation Establishment Pill is lost, it will be difficult to have this opportunity again.
Therefore, in their minds, the Foundation Establishment Pill was more important than their own magic treasures.
However, even the most refined magical artifacts at the late stage of Qi Refining are only worth a few spirit stones, and auction houses don't even consider them valuable.
Liu Xiaoyuan had been observing from the sidelines and had come to realize a truth: whether you are an ordinary person or a cultivator, if you are short of money, you have no right to speak.
Liu Xiaoyuan touched his storage bag, feeling a little guilty. After all, his scrotum was even more embarrassing. However, for the sake of the Pure Yang Grass, Liu Xiaoyuan couldn't care less about that.
Anyway, the summoned character can last for ten minutes, which is enough time for me to escape far away.
After an anxious wait, the auctioneer finally brought out a small wooden box and said with a smile, "Next, we will be auctioning a medicinal herb. This herb has great efficacy; it can save the lives of people with a pure Yin constitution, and it is also an indispensable main ingredient in the refining of the Pure Yang Pill..."
After the auctioneer went on and on, he talked about all the advantages of this medicinal herb, almost praising it to the skies.
Upon hearing the auctioneer's introduction, Liu Xiaoyuan knew that the Pure Yang Grass he needed had finally appeared, and he was overjoyed.
The auctioneer continued, "After all that introduction, I'm sure you all know what this medicinal herb is. Yes, this medicinal herb is Pure Yang Grass!"
Pure Yang Grass may be a good thing, but it's only useful to those who need it. For those useless cultivators, Pure Yang Grass is just a roadside weed, and there's no need to fight to the death over it.
"Alright, now let's take a look at the true face of the Pure Yang Grass." As he spoke, the auctioneer opened the wooden box, and the Pure Yang Grass immediately appeared on the huge LCD screen behind him.
These days, even cultivators are using high-tech products. There's no way around it; if an ordinary cultivator shouts "Time to eat!", at most people within a radius of a thousand meters can hear it.
But if you make a phone call, even if you're far away, you'll know you've asked him to come home for dinner.
Therefore, it is perfectly normal for cultivators to be interested in technology.
Through the huge LCD screen, Liu Xiaoyuan finally saw what the Pure Yang Grass looked like. The Pure Yang Grass was lush and green, even its roots were green.
Green represents life and hope, which is similar to the effects of the Pure Yang Grass.
"Wow, it's Pure Yang Grass, it really is Pure Yang Grass!" Many cultivators exclaimed in amazement upon seeing the appearance of Pure Yang Grass.
Pure Yang Grass is not easy to find, but it is only useful to those who are useful. To useless cultivators, it is just like a weed.
Jia Youdao smiled and said to Liu Xiaoyuan, "Brother, the Pure Yang Grass has appeared. Prepare your spirit stones and bleed!"
Liu Xiaoyuan thought to himself, "I'm not going to bleed myself; I'm going to make this auction bleed a fortune."
Liu Xiaoyuan's strategy was to get something for nothing. Since the spirit stones he took out were all from the God-level Invincible System, they would naturally disappear once the time was up.
"Alright, now that everyone has seen the true appearance of the Pure Yang Grass, we will begin the auction." The auctioneer said with a smile, "This Pure Yang Grass was obtained with great effort by our auction house, so those cultivators who need Pure Yang Grass, you must do your best."
Damn it! All this nonsense is just to tell everyone that during the auction later, you all have to desperately bid up the price.
"The starting bid for this Pure Yang Grass is one thousand low-grade spirit stones!" the auctioneer said with a smile.
Previously, Jia Youdao had guessed that the starting price for this Pure Yang Grass would only be a few hundred low-grade spirit stones, but now it has become a thousand. This is simply taking advantage of someone's misfortune.
This auction is despicable. They've got their hands on those who need Pure Yang Grass. They know that if you need it, you'll get it no matter how many spirit stones you offer.
This situation is similar to the heavy snow in 2008, when cars heading home for the Spring Festival were stuck on the road. At that time, there was no shop or village in sight, and people were hungry and cold. It is said that a bucket of instant noodles sold for fifty yuan.
Fifty yuan is enough to buy ten buckets of instant noodles under normal circumstances, enough to eat you out of your cups in one go.
But in that environment, if you didn't buy it, you would starve to death. Compared to your own life, money didn't seem so important.
That's how auctions are these days. You need Pure Yang Grass, probably for an emergency, so what can you do if I bid a higher price? You'll still obediently buy it unless another seller has Pure Yang Grass at a lower price.
The price of the Pure Yang Grass immediately surprised the cultivators present, as its starting price was the highest so far. Whether there would be more later was unknown, but the Pure Yang Grass had firmly secured its position as the top-ranked grass.
"Holy crap! Such a high price, this is blatant robbery!" many cultivators complained.
Because the cultivators who came to participate in the auction were not wealthy, they were very careful with the spirit stones in their pockets.
The auctioneer paid no attention to the complaints of the monks below, maintaining his smile. "Say what you will. Those who want to buy will still buy."
This is what they call "Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai"—one is willing to hit and the other is willing to be hit!
"Brother Xiao Yuan, this price is a bit high. It seems that this auction is planning to fleece you people who need Pure Yang Grass." Jia Youdao said in a low voice.
Liu Xiaoyuan didn't care, because what he was doing today was getting something for nothing. Even if the auction set a starting price of 10,000 low-level spirit stones, it wouldn't have much to do with Liu Xiaoyuan, because the spirit stones he would take out later wouldn't be his own, but rather from the God-level Invincible System.
"There's nothing we can do. The item is in someone else's hands, and we can only accept whatever price they ask for," Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile.
Jia Youdao said, "That makes sense. They have Pure Yang Grass at their auction, and they can set the price as they please. We cultivators can buy it if we want, or not if we don't."
