The others were silent for a moment after hearing this. Although the items that the Luo family had just taken out were not as good as the Qinghong Demon-Slaying Sword, the final transaction price was not low, and it was often tens of millions of spirit stones.
The Piaoyun Sect had fallen to the point where even its elixirs had to rely on the friendly sponsorship of the Shendan Pavilion, and it was not certain that it could come up with so much money.
"The Piaoyun Sect probably underestimated the Luo family. Even if the Luo family was in decline, it was not like they could come here to pick up bargains with tens of millions of spirit stones." An old man shook his head and said.
Everyone turned their heads to look at Gu Qingxi and the others, and sighed secretly.
After all, it was one of the most top-notch sects in Lingjingtian, but it had fallen to the point where it could only pick up bargains with tens of millions of spirit stones. It was heartbreaking to think about it.
Of course, they didn't know that Gu Qingxi's goal was very clear, that was to get the Shendao Pill, and he certainly didn't care about ordinary natural treasures or elixirs and magic tools, so he had never participated in the auction.
Sadness and all that, they were just overthinking.
"The next auction is a piece of spiritual jade handed down by the seventh generation of the great elder of my Luo family. It is called the Purple Palace Dragon Heart Jade. The starting price is three million spiritual stones." The head of the Luo family opened another wooden box and said loudly to everyone in the hall.
Looking at the spiritual jade in the wooden box, which was purple all over but red as blood in the center, everyone's eyes lit up, and Gu Qingxi finally came to his senses.
The Purple Palace Dragon Heart Jade can refine spiritual power and condense the soul. At the same time, it is also helpful for perceiving the opportunity of breakthrough. What's more rare is that it is also effective for the strong in the Mahayana realm.
You know, many natural treasures are similar to elixirs. They are said to have infinite uses, but the higher the cultivation level, the worse the effect. It may even be completely ineffective when used on the strong in the Mahayana realm.
Therefore, in the world of cultivation, natural treasures like the Purple Palace Dragon Heart Jade are rare.
"I'll offer four million." An old man spoke first.
"Five million." "Six million" "Seven million." ... "Nine million ." "Nine million
. "Nine. One hundred thousand. "Nine. Two hundred thousand. " "Nine. Five hundred thousand. "
Others followed suit. At first, they were all quite forthcoming, but when the price reached nine million, they became more and more cautious.
This is understandable. The Purple Mansion Dragon Heart Jade is rare, but the problem is that it has too many uses, so that the effect of each use is not great.
It's like some cultivators who are good at everything. They seem to know a little bit about all kinds of magic, but when asked carefully, they are useless.
If this kind of useless treasure is cheaper, you can buy it home as a collection. When you really can't make progress, you can take it out and try your luck. It's not worth spending a lot of money.
It is for this reason that when an old man shouted out nine and a half million, the hall fell silent.
You don't need to guess that others have chosen to give up, and they are reluctant to spend another half a million to make up the integer for the Purple Mansion Dragon Heart Jade.
"No one has bid yet? Then congratulations to Patriarch Pu. Nine and a half million..." Patriarch Luo said straightforwardly upon seeing this.
This is not a regular auction. There are not so many rules. There is no need to waste time once, twice, or three times.
Hearing Patriarch Luo's words, the Patriarch who called out nine and a half million was shocked, and a look of regret appeared on his face.
Normally, it would be good if the Purple Mansion Dragon Heart Jade could be sold for five to seven million high-quality spirit stones. If it weren't for the overly enthusiastic atmosphere of the Luo family's auction, he would never have been so impulsive as to call out the sky-high price of nine and a half million.
Although the Pu family is in a much better situation than the Luo family, the descendants in recent generations have been mediocre and have made no achievements. They have been living off the wealth accumulated by their ancestors. He could n't help but feel pain after accidentally spending several million extra high-quality
spirit stones .
Unfortunately, it was too late to regret now
. Once something was said, it could not be taken back. If he went back on his word in front of so many old friends, would he be able to face people in the future? The other family heads who participated in the auction also calmed down at this time. Noticing the regret on the face of Patriarch Pu, they were all relieved.
Especially the Patriarch who just shouted out 9.2 million, he patted his chest quietly and breathed a long sigh of relief.
The sects and families who relied on their status and were worried about being branded as taking advantage of others' misfortunes did not come to participate in the auction of the Luo family.
On the other hand, the participants naturally had limited family backgrounds. Patriarch Pu felt pain after losing several million spirit stones, and they would certainly be no exception.
"Ten million. "Suddenly, a clear and pleasant voice was heard in a corner of the hall.
The head of the Pu family, who was feeling heartbroken, was stunned at first, and then he was ecstatic. He turned his head abruptly and looked in the direction where the voice came from.
Others also looked in the direction of the voice in surprise, wanting to see who was so kind to save the head of the Pu family from the dire straits.
Then, they saw a pretty face.
How could it be her? Everyone was stunned.
They vaguely remembered that the girl's name was Gu Qingxi, and she seemed to be a guest elder of Piaoyun Sect. They
didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now they suddenly thought of a question. No matter how decadent the Piaoyun Sect was, it was still a top-grade sect. Isn't this guest elder a little too young?
Of course, this is not important. The important thing is that the Piaoyun Sect is so poor that it can only pick up tens of millions of spirit stones. Can she really afford tens of millions of spirit stones?
"This, this Elder Gu, are you sure you want to bid 10 million?" The head of the Luo family looked at Gu Qingxi's young face, and was obviously a little skeptical.
"Yes. "
Gu Qingxi knew what they were doubting, and was about to take out her storage bag.
Spending two or three million spirit stones to buy a purple mansion spiritual heart jade might be a waste for others, but it was nothing to Gu Qingxi.
Her storage bracelets and the Xumi World were piled with spirit stones like mountains, too many to count, so why would she care about just a few million spirit stones.
Seeing Gu Qingxi's actions, everyone was secretly surprised. Could it be that they had thought wrong before, and the Piaoyun Sect was not as down and out as the rumors said, at least tens of millions of spirit stones would not be a problem for them?
"Wait, I'll offer 11 million spirit stones." At this moment, a cold and arrogant voice sounded at the door of the hall.
"Elder Gao, Young Master Mu! "Seeing the people coming in big strides, the head of the Luo family was surprised and delighted.
These people were none other than the seventh elder of the Aotian Sect, Gao Zhanfeng, the young master Mu Shaobo, the master of the Taiyi Sect, Ke Mingjian, and several accompanying disciples.
The head of the Luo family thought that the Aotian Sect would also miss the auction for the sake of reputation, but he did not expect that not only an elder but also the young master came.
For the Luo family who were about to leave Lingjingtian, this was undoubtedly a great comfort and a great honor.
"Something happened on the way, so I'm a little late. I hope Master Luo can forgive me." Elder Gao said with a bow, but his eyes quickly glanced at Gu Qingxi. The
reason why they were delayed until now was certainly not because of something that happened on the way, but because of healing. It was not
until he took the healing pills to start repairing his meridians and internal organs that he realized how serious his injuries were. In fact, his injuries have not healed yet. When
enemies meet, they are particularly jealous. When he saw Gu Qingxi again, he gnashed his teeth with hatred.
It was just to save face and didn't want everyone in the hall to know that he had suffered a great loss at the hands of Gu Qingxi, so he resisted the urge to vent.
