Chapter 294 The Heavenly Treasure City Auction (Part 2)
The first half, featuring hundreds of spiritual items, passed at a relatively slow pace.
The start of the second half immediately invigorated Wang Yu.
Because the auction item was actually the beautiful catwoman auctioneer herself, it sold for the average price of a third-tier spiritual item, reaching a price of 150,000 spirit stones.
I wonder which rich, lecherous old man did it.
After selling itself, Tianbaoge changed to a different auctioneer with a different style.
She was dressed very conservatively, with delicate and three-dimensional features. When introducing the items for auction, her face was rosy and glowing, like a gentle girl next door who was naive and innocent.
Some people just like this.
During half of the auction, Wang Yu made several bids.
He purchased a Blood Dragon Essence for 560,000 spirit stones. He had previously obtained a palm-sized piece of this, but this one was the size of a basketball, making it an ideal supplement for his body refinement.
He also acquired the [Soul Stone] for 430,000 spirit stones. This item, when used with the juice of the [Fantasy Grass], can greatly enhance the spiritual sense of a Core Formation cultivator.
It just so happens that he bought a magic grass while browsing Tianbao City these past few days, which is quite suitable.
With it, Wang Yu was confident that he could raise his divine sense to the peak of the mid-stage of the third rank in a short period of time. At that time, he could refine the top-grade Soul Dream Pill, which would definitely help him enter the late stage of the third rank of divine sense.
With the help of realm advancement and treasures like the Hundred Ghosts Soul Nourishing Liquid, he might soon reach the peak of the third tier.
Once he possesses fourth-order divine sense, he will unlock the seventh placement slot.
Compared to fundamental cultivation and body refinement, improving one's spiritual sense is relatively easy, since the inheritance is the most complete, and as one's fundamental cultivation improves, one's spiritual sense will also increase significantly.
Divine consciousness and fundamental cultivation are essentially one and the same.
With the combination of these two elements, coupled with a large investment of resources, and if the progress of the cultivation techniques can keep up, the speed of improvement will naturally be incredibly fast!
The spiritual items he purchased at the trading market over the past few days, plus the expenses incurred at the auction, have already cost him nearly two million low-grade spirit stones. He truly experienced the feeling of spending money like water.
However, the Sea Heart Ring was still bulging.
Although there were many gains, no truly top-tier treasures were found.
Next, several rounds of top-grade elixirs were put up for auction.
A bottle contains three pills, mainly cultivation pills, which slightly tempted Wang Yu. Unfortunately, there were no ice-attribute pills. He had, however, made a bid for the second-grade yin-attribute top-quality spiritual pills.
However, he gave up once the price exceeded 500,000 spirit stones. He figured he could refine it himself in a few years at most, and buying it at the auction at a premium would be a waste.
Instead, we should collect raw materials.
Judging from the price of third-tier spiritual items, the cost of the spiritual herbs needed to prepare a third-tier pill formula would be at least 300,000 spirit stones.
Failure is an excruciating pain!
If one relies solely on accumulating resources without corresponding alchemy talent, it's unimaginable how many resources would be needed to cultivate an alchemy master.
If you fail at refining a weapon, you can still find a way to salvage some of the materials. But if you fail at alchemy, you lose everything. No wonder there are so few alchemy masters in Chiyuan.
Especially high-level alchemists.
This can be gleaned from the attitudes and reliance that the Blood-Eyed Demon Dragon and Yan Ling placed on him.
"Distinguished guests, next up is the grand finale of this auction, a fourth-tier spiritual item, the Nine-Bend Spiritual Ginseng!"
"As everyone knows, it is one of the main ingredients for refining the [Nascent Soul Pill], and its importance is self-evident. Starting bid: three million spirit stones!"
Due to the scarcity of fourth-tier Nascent Soul Spirit Objects.
Most cultivators in this world break through their cultivation realms using the power of elixirs. Among them, almost every Nascent Soul power has a elixir formula, namely the Nascent Soul Condensation Elixir Formula.
The main ingredient is the [Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng], which can be used to refine a top-grade Nascent Soul Pill. This final item immediately ignited the enthusiasm of the entire audience.
Obtaining this item means gaining a chance to form a Nascent Soul!
Even without other spiritual herbs, one can choose to refine them together with others. How many pills can be produced in the last batch, and whether it is a success or a failure, depends on luck.
However, while elixirs are indeed elixirs, the core issue is whether there are channels to obtain them from fourth-tier alchemists.
Therefore, the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng ignited the entire audience.
But no one has made a bid yet; they don't dare! If this thing were exposed, they would surely die without a burial place. Only cultivators with connections and resources dare to bid.
"Four million spirit stones!"
The voice was surprisingly familiar. After a moment's thought, Wang Yu recognized who it was and couldn't help but laugh.
It was Wen Hua of the Yin-Yang Sect.
This idiot has bid several times before, never disguising his voice. It's one thing to compete for third-tier spiritual items, but now he doesn't even try to hide his true colors when bidding for the Nine-Bend Spiritual Ginseng.
It seems many people have their eyes on him. Regardless of whether he can become famous and win the bid, the fact that he dared to ask for four million spirit stones is enough to prove how wealthy this kid is.
And Chi Yuan has never lacked people willing to take risks!
After Wen Hua spoke, it seemed as if the competition had officially begun, with sounds coming from higher up in the private rooms.
Five million spirit stones.
"Seven million!"
"Eight million low-grade spirit stones!!"
The bidding was so fierce that it immediately exceeded the funds Wang Yu had on hand, but... that didn't matter.
He still had 2,200 high-grade spirit stones from the two mining operations in Guiling City, which translates to 2.2 million low-grade spirit stones.
If he sold the high-level loot in his pocket, he could earn an extra one or two million spirit stones, which would leave him with plenty of money. Therefore, after pausing for a moment, he quoted an even higher price.
"Ten million low-grade spirit stones."
The atmosphere was silent for a moment, but Wang Yu was quickly proven wrong.
Someone offered a price.
"120,000 high-grade spirit stones!"
Damn, they're really rich," many people cursed inwardly.
For ordinary fourth-tier spiritual items, five or six million would be considered a high price. However, since the Nine-Bend Spiritual Ginseng involves the opportunity to condense one's Nascent Soul, even if it were three times more expensive, it would still be within a reasonable range.
Its price is almost comparable to that of a fourth-tier magic weapon.
However, someone seemed even more impatient, and it was Wen Hua from the Yin Yang Sect again: "Ten top-grade spirit stones!"
He actually possesses top-grade spirit stones!!
Wang Yu's first reaction was shock.
Top-grade spirit stones are extremely rare treasures, representing the foundation of a sect. They are treasures that even Nascent Soul cultivators can use to enhance their cultivation.
Even if you drain all the pure spiritual energy from it, it can be placed in an equivalent spiritual vein and restored to its full potential after a hundred or eighty years. It is a top-tier cultivation resource that can be reused.
Using a full ten pieces to buy the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng is a bit of an overpayment, after all, no matter how precious it is, there is only one kind, and the Red Iris can be stably produced in several places.
"What a spendthrift!"
"That's right, where did this spendthrift come from, actually willing to use his wealth to buy a Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng?"
"You don't care what others think, once this price is set, there's no way to replace it with any other equivalent."
The cultivators in the private room began to exchange intense thoughts, and the auctioneer, with sharp eyes, asked several questions before announcing the successful auction.
Seeing this, Wang Yu glanced at the last major item and realized it was of no use to him, so he immediately called a waiter to prepare to leave the auction house first.
If Wen Hua weren't stupid, he would definitely use the small teleportation array here to leave Tianbao City as soon as he got the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng.
Wang Yu... if we don't seize this opportunity now, when will we?!
When he was trading gold-embossed invitations before, he felt that the other party might cause him trouble after learning the truth about being "tricked," so he used the Soul-Snatching Evil Boat Curse to leave a mark on them.
The intention was to avoid this person to prevent unnecessary trouble.
In retrospect, it was all fate.
This treasure is surely destined for him!
The mark of the evil boat left by the advanced divine sense technique of the ancient Heavenly Soul Sect, [Divine Sense Transformation into Silk], could be sensed even when placed in the Qiankun Ring.
Go out a little earlier and sense the direction of the mark.
If there is a large deviation, it proves that the opponent has used the Minor Teleportation Array to leave the city. At that time, you can chase after them. This mark can last for seven days.
That's enough!
As for the two guards who were at the late Core Formation stage, to be honest, he didn't take them too seriously.
Even if the Yin-Yang Sect is a first-rate force, its foundation is still inferior to that of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect. The most crucial point is...
This place is the border area between [Blood Abyss Prefecture] and [Flowing Ju Prefecture].
As long as Wang Yu uses the Cold Blood Ring to contact the cities in the direction Wen Hua is retreating from, it is only natural for him, as a candidate for the Twelve Elders, to mobilize manpower to besiege and suppress them.
If you are fast enough, you can intercept the opponent before they escape into Liuju Prefecture.
Furthermore, if the Small Teleportation Array is not guided by another array, the teleportation direction is random, which is perfect for use in the Tianbao Pavilion auction.
at this time.
Wang Yu's consciousness stirred, and a smile appeared on his face.
"north!"
Wang Yu, standing in the secret passage of the auction, suddenly opened his eyes and noticed the location where the target had suddenly moved. A wide grin spread across his face.
This suggests that the other party's luck seems to be not very good.
North of Tianbao City lies the interior of Xueyuan Prefecture, meaning the enemy would have to go around in circles to escape south.
After determining the approximate location, Wang Yu immediately flew out of Tianbao City. The Cold Blood Ring had a similar ability to a sound transmission jade talisman, but it could not make phone calls and could only transmit information through text.
After searching around, Wang Yu found three early-stage Core Formation inner sect elders for 300,000 spirit stones and asked them for help. Including himself, they would be able to surround the enemy from four directions.
As for why they didn't seek out a stronger Holy Sect City Lord, it was because they were worried about being double-crossed; three helpers would suffice.
The Cold Blood Ring quickly responded; two people agreed immediately, while one did not reply, so Wang Yu found another one.
at the same time.
Wen Hua and two late-stage Core Formation elders from the Yin Yang Sect appeared together in the desolate wilderness. They scanned the surrounding terrain with their divine senses and found a building that resembled a landmark.
The three of them looked rather grim.
"Damn it, the Minor Teleportation Array has teleported us into the territory of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, so we can't go directly to Liuju Prefecture."
"It's alright."
After pondering for a moment, Wen Hua waved his hand and said.
"No one can tamper with our auction house, which means that those people do not know that it was I who bought the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng."
"Perhaps we could take advantage of the situation and return directly to Tianbao City. What do you two elders think?"
Upon hearing this, the two men's faces darkened even more.
“Young Master Wen, the plan is fine, but you forgot that you didn’t muffle your voice at the auction, and I’m sure many people remember it.”
Wen Hua's face immediately turned awkward.
