Did you go to the Qingyan Auction this time?
In the largest restaurant in Qingyan City, Zhang San looked excitedly at Li Si beside him.
"No, the venue was full as soon as it was my turn. Did you manage to get in, sir?"
A hint of resentment flashed in Li Si's eyes as he spoke in a muffled voice.
"Of course! Don't you know who I am? I'm known in the martial arts world as Timely Rain, and my speed surpasses even that of a swift-footed man."
Zhang San raised his head and patted his chest.
Upon hearing Zhang San's words, everyone nearby turned their gazes toward him.
"Brother, why don't you tell me about the Qingyan Auction?"
"Yes, yes, I heard that there were a lot of important people at the last Qingyan auction!"
The crowd around them began to speak up, and a slick-haired, extremely flamboyant young man even waved his hand dramatically.
"I've bought this one, now tell me quickly what happened at the Qingyan Auction?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang San's face lit up with joy. You see, he had ordered quite a few dishes and drinks so he could brag to his friend.
Unexpectedly, someone actually offered to treat them, and he immediately spoke in a somewhat ingratiating tone.
"Alright, since this young master is so generous, then I, Zhang San, will not waste any more words."
"The items featured in this auction are all incredibly valuable."
The people standing nearby couldn't wait to speak.
What kind of items appeared?
"I've even seen forces from other cities flocking to my Qingyan City!"
"Stop rambling and just tell me."
No one noticed that at the corner of the restaurant, a handsome young man slowly put down his tea, his ears twitched slightly, and a hint of interest appeared on his face.
The boy looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, but his eyes were full of vicissitudes.
Hearing the urging of the crowd, Zhang San dared not hesitate any longer and quickly spoke up.
"The rare high-grade ordinary weapons that are seldom seen in the past are actually the lowest-ranking items in this auction!"
"You know, in previous years, the appearance of even a high-grade ordinary weapon was enough to cause quite a stir!"
His words caused an uproar.
Even the young master looked on in disbelief.
You should know that even he doesn't have a single high-grade mortal weapon. Forging a high-grade mortal weapon is extremely complicated, and only a few elders in the sect are qualified to forge one!
And the success rate is very low!
And this was actually the lowest-ranking item in the auction?
"Then tell me, what valuable items are in the auction?"
The young master seemed somewhat incredulous.
"A Qi Gathering Pill appeared in the very first auction of this event!"
Have you ever seen an auction for Qi Gathering Pills?
Faced with the crowd's doubts, Zhang San gave a crooked smile.
"What? It's actually a Qi Gathering Pill?"
"A Qi Gathering Pill that can help cultivators at the peak of Body Tempering to comprehend the Qi Cycle?"
"This is a top-grade second-rank pill!"
"Now that the Great Zhou Academy is about to begin its enrollment, if this pill falls into the hands of a genius from one of the great clans, they might be qualified to enter the Great Zhou Academy."
"That's the Great Zhou Academy! No one in Qingyan City has ever produced a genius who could enter the Great Zhou Academy!"
"This single pill is probably worth fifty or sixty thousand spirit stones at auction."
Hearing the chatter around him, Zhang San felt a little disdainful.
"A bunch of bumpkins. If you knew the prices of the other items, you'd probably be scared to death."
Then, with a contemptuous expression, he opened his mouth and spat out...
"The Qi Gathering Pill was purchased by the City Lord for a high price of 150,000 spirit stones."
A brief silence fell over the surroundings, and everyone's gazes became blank.
150,000 low-grade spirit stones, how much is that?
Even the mysterious young man who was listening intently showed a slight change in his eyes.
"A Qi Gathering Pill can actually sell for such a price?"
"Unfortunately, I haven't been able to obtain the materials for the Qi Gathering Pill yet."
Perhaps I should put something up for auction.
He had previously worried that the items he had taken out were too valuable, and if someone were to investigate them, he would probably be doomed.
It seems unlikely now.
The potential profits were enough to drive him, despite his poverty, to take the risk.
However, he still planned to wait a little longer, just in case the Qi Gathering Pill was an exception.
Seeing the naive look on everyone's faces, Zhang San straightened his back and continued to add to the discussion.
"This is only the third highest auction price at Qingyan Auction House!"
"There are two other extremely precious items, whose prices far exceed those of the Qi Gathering Pill!"
Upon hearing this, someone spoke up.
"Could it be a Spirit Essence Pill?"
"It seems that the breakthrough of the Chen family patriarch to the Spirit Origin Realm yesterday was related to the Qingyan Auction House."
Zhang San noticed that everyone's attention had shifted, and a hint of displeasure flashed through his mind.
"One of them was indeed the Spirit Essence Pill, which is why the Chen family patriarch broke through to the Spirit Essence Realm!"
"However, a small incident occurred in the middle."
"The background of Qingyan Auction House is terrifying!"
"The Chen family patriarch merely damaged some items during his breakthrough, yet he offered ten thousand spirit stones as compensation. He's probably afraid of being pursued by the big shots at the Qingyan Auction House."
Zhang San dropped another bombshell, leaving everyone's heads buzzing.
"No way?"
"The Chen family patriarch has already broken through to the Spirit Origin Realm, how could he possibly back down?"
"Could it be that Qingyan Auction House has other experts in charge?"
Everyone was somewhat incredulous.
You should know that the Spirit Origin Realm is already the pinnacle of Qingyan City.
And the heavens they see would actually yield to another power?
"This is what I saw with my own eyes; you can believe it or not."
Zhang San didn't say much, because he had only heard about it secondhand.
"However, this Spirit Essence Pill sold for 280,000 low-grade spirit stones, which only ranks second."
"The first item was a magic artifact, which was successfully auctioned off to an old man with a little girl for a high price of 300,000 low-grade spirit stones!"
"It is said that the Qingyan Auction this time sold for a total of 700,000 spirit stones!"
I was stunned, truly stunned.
How much is 700,000 spirit stones?
Even the young master couldn't hide the shock in his eyes.
The sect he was in had a Foundation Establishment Realm expert, but even so, the sect's annual income was only a little over 200,000 low-grade spirit stones. This did not include the salaries of the sect elders and disciples, as well as other expenses.
As for why he knows all this, the young master can proudly tell you that his father is the sect leader!
The young master originally just wanted to travel around, but he never expected that so many unimaginable precious items would appear one after another in such a small town!
He was well aware of the preciousness of Qi Gathering Pills, Spirit Essence Pills, and magical artifacts.
Gathering Qi Pills and Spirit Essence Pills are not easy to obtain, even for one's own father.
As for magical artifacts, only Foundation Establishment Ancestors are qualified to possess them.
A magical artifact...
It seems my sect leader father spent 500,000 low-grade spirit stones to acquire it.
I remember my dad thinking he got a bargain.
