A magnificent display stand slowly rose from a high platform beside the Fairy of Wonderful Flowers. Once the display stand was fully raised, the Fairy of Wonderful Flowers began to introduce the first item to everyone.
"Fellow Daoists, the first item in this auction is provided by a Nascent Soul cultivator. It is called the Taiyuan Armor. According to our auction house's appraisal, this armor is a mid-grade spiritual treasure. It can withstand ten full-force attacks from a Nascent Soul cultivator. The starting price is 500 spirit stones, and each bid must be at least 100 spirit stones higher."
As the Fairy of Wonderful Flowers lifted the veil, the pale green half-body armor appeared before everyone's eyes. After the Fairy of Wonderful Flowers finished her introduction, the cultivators on the lower level of the stage began to bid.
"I'll offer 600 spirit stones!"
"Hmph, such life-saving armor cannot be bought for 600 spirit stones. I will offer 1,000 spirit stones."
...
With each bid, the price of the armor was raised to 2,000 spirit stones by a cultivator, at which point no one dared to raise the price further.
After waiting for a while and finding that no one was bidding higher, the Fairy of Wonderful Flowers spoke up.
"Alright, since no one else is bidding, the Taiyuan Armor will belong to this fellow Daoist."
Immediately, a young girl walked onto the stage, removed the armor, and handed it to the cultivator on the first floor who had won the bid.
Those above the first level are mostly disciples with their own power, and they disdain this kind of armor that can only resist Nascent Soul cultivators.
As the armor was handed to the cultivator, the second item for auction was also brought to the stage by a maid.
"Fellow Daoists, the second item is a gift from the rogue cultivator Fairy Bichi, called the Golden Silk Soft Armor. It is the armor that Fairy Bichi always wears close to her body. It can withstand three attacks from a Golden Core cultivator and is a high-grade spiritual artifact. The starting price is 1,000 spirit stones, and each bid must be at least 500 spirit stones."
As the Fairy of Wonderful Flowers finished speaking, all the cultivators on the first floor looked at the soft armor that belonged to the Fairy of the Jade Pool.
"I'll offer 1500 spirit stones!"
"Please give me some face, everyone. I am a rogue cultivator in the late stage of Nascent Soul. I offer 2,000 spirit stones."
"Hmph, a mere late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator wants Fairy Bitch's soft armor for 2000 spirit stones? I'll offer 3000 spirit stones."
...
As the price was gradually raised, Gu Nan, who was standing next to Gu Changqing, asked Xu Sheng in confusion.
"Senior Brother Xu, why did they spend so many spirit stones just to snatch a high-grade spiritual weapon?"
Xu Sheng, however, gave a wicked smile and said in a strange tone:
"Junior Sister Gu Nan, do you know that although this Fairy Bi Chi is only at the Nascent Soul stage, she is the most popular among rogue cultivators. Even many young masters from large forces want to marry her as their Daoist partner."
After saying that, Xu Sheng saw that Gu Nan still seemed a little confused, so he continued:
"It is said that this woman is naturally beautiful. Although she cannot compare to you, junior sister, she is still among the top in the eyes of these forces. However, with this personal item being auctioned off, I suppose this Fairy Bitch has already spent all her spirit stones."
"Sigh, this fairy is good in every way, except that she likes to squander money. No matter how many spirit stones she has, she always spends them all in half a month."
After hearing Xu Sheng's explanation, Gu Nan continued to ask:
"Senior Brother Ke, how do you know these things?"
Xu Sheng, however, revealed a wicked smile and whispered:
"Junior Sister, you've spent so many years cultivating within the sect, so of course you wouldn't know about the interesting things that happen outside. Back in the day, I was also a temporary Daoist companion of Fairy Bichi. Unfortunately, a sect mission eventually forced me to return. Fairy Bichi was truly a rare and precious Daoist partner~"
Although Gu Nan had spent many years cultivating in the sect, she still understood the meaning of "temporary Daoist partner." She rolled her eyes and lazily said:
"Senior Brother Xu is truly dashing; you've managed to snag this fairy among the rogue cultivators."
Xu Sheng smiled slightly and did not respond, while Gu Changqing ignored the two of them and continued cultivating with spirit stones, as he did not currently have anything he desired.
With each bid, the price of the golden silk armor has risen from the initial 1,000 spirit stones to the current 10,000 spirit stones, and it continues to rise.
A large group from a second-floor private room also started bidding.
"Fellow Daoists, I am the son of the Heavenly Sword Sect Master. Please give me some face and some spirit stones!"
As the young master of this powerful force raised the price, the independent cultivators on the first floor dared not raise it any further. After all, although there were rules in Wenxin Mountain prohibiting unauthorized actions, one still had to leave the mountain eventually.
Just as Fairy Qihua was about to make the announcement, a voice came from another private room on the second floor.
"Hmph, others may fear your Heavenly Sword Sect, but my Earthly Sword Sect is not afraid. I'll offer spirit stones."
Upon hearing this voice, the young master Tianjian in the private room stood up in anger.
"Damn it, you despicable person from the Earth Sword Sect, I'll pay with spirit stones."
"Haha, I'm so happy to see Young Master Tianjian spend more spirit stones!"
The Heavenly Sword Prince trembled with anger upon hearing this provocative voice, but the Earth Sword Sect was no weaker than their Heavenly Sword Sect.
"Patience is key; a small act of impatience can ruin a great plan. Let the Earth Sword Sect be smug for a while, and we'll deal with them once the competition begins!"
The Heavenly Sword Prince thought to himself.
Seeing that no one was bidding higher, Fairy Qihua announced that the golden silk soft armor belonged to Young Master Tianjian. However, the second floor was different from the first floor. On the first floor, a maid had to deliver it to the person, while on the second floor, the item would be directly teleported to the upper-level private room by a teleportation array engraved on the display platform.
Meanwhile, inside the private room, Young Master Tianjian looked at the soft armor that he had spent all his spirit stones to acquire.
I couldn't wait to pick it up and stick it on my face.
"Ah~ As rumored, the Bitch Fairy often uses a certain floral fragrance. This time I tried it, and it is indeed as rumored. It smells so good."
Smelling the fragrance and remembering that brat from the Earth Sword Sect maliciously inflating the price, Young Master Tianjian gritted his teeth, harboring a grudge against the Earth Sword Sect.
