I don't know how the auction stage was made, but after a middle-aged auctioneer came on stage, a platform about half a person's height slowly rose from the center of the auction.
The middle-aged man was dressed in a long robe and was not good-looking, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that his imposing aura was not something an ordinary person could possess.
"That auctioneer isn't from our Lingyun City, is he?" Inside the private room, the Qian family's eldest elder asked in confusion, "I can't even see through his cultivation level."
But thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, this auction is a huge affair. If they don't invite a Spirit King to suppress it, the items might be snatched away before the auction even starts.
This is enough to show that the Treasure Pavilion has a powerful backer.
"Welcome everyone to this auction held by Treasure Pavilion. Without further ado, let's begin with the first item!" After saying this, the auctioneer raised his hand and clapped his hands.
As soon as the applause subsided, a maid with a face like a fairy, dressed in a uniform blue robe, came up on stage carrying an item covered with a red cloth.
"First item in the auction: a seven-colored necklace, capable of withstanding one attack from a Spirit Master or lower. Starting bid: ten spirit stones." The auctioneer lifted the red cloth and began to introduce the item.
The effect of this thing wasn't that great, but it was so beautiful! The colorful light was very eye-catching, and many female spirit masters present were attracted by the necklace, and they all rushed to take pictures of it.
Originally, it was thought that it wouldn't fetch a high price, but to everyone's surprise, it was won by the eldest daughter of the Zhao family in Lingyun City for one hundred spirit stones.
Those below the auction floor gasped at the price; it was truly extravagant.
The first item sold for such a high price, which was a great start.
The market quickly heated up, and as the quality of the items that came out improved, the prices kept rising.
Soon, the medicinal herb that Granny Lin had her eye on was put up for auction.
"As everyone knows, once a cultivator's meridians are damaged, it is very difficult to repair them. However, today is the opportunity to repair the meridians. This hundred-year-old Golden Grass is the main ingredient of the Tendon Restoration Pill," the middle-aged man said, pointing to a golden grass beside him.
Only two slender leaves of the golden clover were dug up intact from the ground, without damaging the roots.
Upon hearing the description of this medicinal herb, Lin Jingge's heart skipped a beat, and she abruptly looked at Granny Lin. Granny Lin's gaze was fixed intently on the herb, her eyes burning with desire.
It was only then that Lin Jingge realized why Grandma Lin still wanted to come to the auction, even though her family didn't have much money.
It's all for her!
Although the auctioneer's words were very persuasive, few people in the room were actually interested.
Few of those who can enter the Treasure Pavilion are fools. The Tendon Restoration Pill is just an entry-level pill. Although the main ingredient, which is a hundred years old, is hard to find, it is only an entry-level Yellow-rank pill. How good can its medicinal effect be?
It only works on those who have entered the spiritual realm!
"Starting bid for the Golden Grass: ten spirit stones!"
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, Granny Lin immediately turned to look at Qian Zhong.
Qian Zhong was not a man of his word, and immediately joined the bidding frenzy, winning the Golden Grass for twenty spirit stones.
"Brother, our family's money should be saved for bidding on the Spirit Breaking Pill, not wasted like this," Qian Guo said disapprovingly to Qian Zhong after the bidding ended.
Several elders sitting on the side nodded in agreement.
"I used my own money to bid, I didn't touch the family's money." Qian Zhong was displeased by everyone's stares. He was increasingly reluctant to become the clan leader and just hoped that the elders' meeting would start soon.
Having obtained the Golden Grass, Granny Lin led Lin Jingge away, no longer paying attention to the auction.
"Grandma, are you an alchemist?" Lin Jingge followed behind Grandma Lin, catching up with her in a few steps, and asked.
"I'm not an alchemist, but I have a way to brew this herb into a spiritual soup to repair the meridians." Granny Lin pulled Liu Yan along very quickly.
Lin Jingge carried Lin Shu and followed closely behind Grandma Lin.
Upon returning home, Granny Lin took the medicine pot and several medicinal herbs to the main room.
After calling everyone into the main room, Granny Lin bolted the door.
"I've seen this prescription in the pharmacopoeia before. Although it can repair the meridians, it will block half of your meridians." Granny Lin said with some seriousness. If she could, she wouldn't want to use this method on her granddaughter, but she couldn't find a better way.
"Would you like to use it? If so, I'll start brewing it right away."
Blocked meridians are equivalent to blocked cultivation talent.
However, the thought of repairing her meridians made Lin Jingge somewhat tempted. Although half of them were blocked, at least she could cultivate again in the future.
Lin Jingge thought for a moment, then nodded to Grandma Lin.
Having received an affirmative answer, Grandma Lin breathed a sigh of relief and began adding fuel to the small stove.
A whole day passed, and it wasn't until it was almost dark that a pleasant medicinal fragrance filled the room, quickly enveloping the entire main hall.
"Drink it." Granny Lin handed the herbal soup to Lin Jingge.
Looking at the golden-tinged medicinal soup in the bowl, Lin Jingge pursed her lips and was about to drink it when Lin Shu bumped into her hard, knocking the hot soup out of her hand.
Grandma Lin's attention was always on Lin Jingge. She reacted very quickly, but she was still a step too late. The bowl rolled to the ground. It didn't break, but the medicine was spilled. As soon as it was spilled on the ground, it was instantly absorbed by the soil.
"You child, how could you be so careless!" Grandma Lin's eyes suddenly reddened, and she reached out to grab Lin Shu, about to hit her.
The usually kind-hearted Granny Lin suddenly erupted.
The only bowl of herbal medicine was wasted like that; it was her granddaughter's only chance to recover, and it was gone just like that!
Lin Shu nimbly dodged Grandma Lin's hand and hid behind Lin Jingge. She tightly gripped the hem of Lin Jingge's clothes with her small hands and whispered, "Don't drink it."
"Grandma, let it go." Looking at the mess on the ground, Lin Jingge sighed.
Grandma Lin was a little overwhelmed and opened the door, rushing out.
Lin Jingge sighed, pulled Lin Shu in front of her, and squatted down to look him in the eye: "Why did you spill the medicine?"
"No, don't drink it." Lin Shuyin's eyes were filled with confusion. He had clearly done a good deed, so why was that old woman still hitting him?
"Sigh." Lin Jingge let go of Lin Shu. Although she didn't know how a child knew that the medicine was bad, according to Grandma Lin, this was indeed her only chance.
The slight side effects were utterly worthless compared to the allure of repairing her meridians, though she was indeed somewhat unwilling.
Lin Shu tilted her head, looking at Lin Jingge with a puzzled expression.
A moment later, she conjured up the Star Pearl out of thin air and took out a porcelain bottle from it.
"This is edible." Lin Shu handed the porcelain bottle to Lin Jingge.
Lin Jingge had just gone to pick up the bowls and didn't see Lin Shu's movements, so she didn't know where the other party had taken the things from.
He took the porcelain bottle, assuming that Lin Shu was offering him sugar pills to comfort him, and casually opened the bottle.
But after seeing what was inside the porcelain bottle, Lin Jingge was shocked and stood there dumbfounded.
