Chapter 125 The Highest Bid Wins Xu Hui frowned and looked back, guessing that he...
Xu Hui frowned and looked back, trying to guess his intention.
Unexpectedly, the man just took a look, gave an ambiguous smile, and then looked back at the stage.
He felt ignored, but it also seemed normal. Who knew who she was? Besides, the box had an isolating effect. The other party probably thought it was the Wei family looking at him.
So that smile, is it a provocation, or a challenge?
She had never seen such an arrogant person who was causing trouble on the Wei family's territory and was still fearless. Was he confident that the Wei family would not do anything to him, or was he confident that he had enough strength and was not worried about retaliation from the Wei family or other people whose prices he had raised?
Xu Hui saw that he had no intention of stopping and would continue to make trouble.
Sure enough, when the Dixia Pills were being auctioned, he came out to cause trouble again.
The person he targeted this time was Yi Qingxue!
In a short period of time, Yi Qingxue advanced from the early stage of Jindan to the middle stage of Jindan. This must have been because she took some rare treasures that improved her spiritual power in a short period of time.
Her behavior is easy to understand. As the person who opened the new secret realm and the young master of the Yuchi family, her cultivation is still too low compared to other family leaders.
She is only in the early stage of Jindan, and even if there is an opportunity, it is very likely to be snatched away by others. The family probably won’t be willing to let her take the lion’s share.
Therefore, she must improve her strength as quickly as possible. She did this by taking risks to form a pill before, and now she is also doing this by taking rare treasures.
I have to say that her luck is really extraordinary. She has made such a big breakthrough in just twenty days. The effect of the treasure is really amazing.
And Xu Hui estimated that she should still have some on hand, so her purpose of buying the Dixia Pill was very obvious.
The Dixia Pill is made with the heart of a thousand-year-old tree, water from a clear spring, dust from the nine-sky stars, and rare earth vein spiritual milk as its main ingredients, supplemented with dozens of rare herbs that can harmonize yin and yang and balance the five elements. It is carefully refined by high-level alchemists.
After taking it, it can quickly penetrate into the body of the cultivator, identify and eliminate all hidden dangers and sequelae left by the rapid increase in cultivation in a short period of time, including but not limited to spiritual power disorder, unstable foundation, and the growth of inner demons.
While eliminating hidden dangers, the pure energy in the elixir will also nourish the cultivator's body and soul, further consolidate and strengthen the foundation of practice, and lay a solid foundation for the future path of practice.
Its unique medicinal properties can also purify the mind of the cultivator, making it clearer and reducing deviations caused by interference from inner demons during the practice.
With the Dixia Pill, Yi Qingxue can improve her cultivation without any worries.
Xu Hui even suspected that she would give birth to a baby before the secret realm was opened!
Of course, this was just her personal guess. The auction was in full swing and there was only one Dixia Pill left. It would be a good deal if she bought it, and anyone would be tempted.
In fact, the Wei family still has two, but no one would take out such a powerful weapon casually.
The Wei family will take out one, definitely to maintain order and tell everyone about the Wei family’s strength and level of alchemy!
This is also equivalent to a deterrent, preparing for entering the secret realm later.
A family like the Wei family is no different from a peerless doctor in the mortal world, and they can't be easily offended. So if you meet them in the secret realm, give them a little face, and the Wei family will also give you face. If you come to them in the future, it will be easy to ask for the elixir you need, right?
The Dixia Pill is useful to any cultivator. Even if they do not intend to increase their cultivation in a short period of time, their ability to purify the mind will attract them.
Therefore, from the very beginning, the bottom price Wei Jianbai offered was a top-grade spirit stone.
Everyone fought back and forth for a while, but finally shut up after Yi Qingxue said, "Two top-grade spirit stones!"
As Yi Qingxue's cold and firm voice fell, the entire auction venue fell into silence. Everyone's eyes were focused on her, and they were all shocked by the sudden high price.
Top-grade spirit stones, as an extremely scarce resource in the world of immortal cultivation, each one is priceless and can be easily exchanged for countless rare treasures or cultivation resources.
It is a treasure in itself. When buried in the earth, it can produce spiritual stone mines. Anyone who owns one will keep it hidden.
As soon as Yi Qingxue opened her mouth, she brought out two top-grade spirit stones, which was enough to demonstrate her profound background and her determination to obtain the Dixia Pill.
However, just when everyone thought the dust had settled and they were about to witness the end of the auction, a low and provocative laugh suddenly rang out, breaking the original tranquility.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw the black-robed monk slowly standing up. His face was shrouded in shadow under the black robe, and his true appearance could not be seen. They only felt an indescribable sense of oppression spreading over them.
"Three top-grade spirit stones." The black-robed monk's voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to hit everyone's heart like a heavy hammer.
This sudden price increase not only made the monks present look at each other in confusion, but also made Yi Qingxue's face change drastically. She obviously didn't expect that someone would compete with her at such a high cost.
"My fellow Daoist, although the Dixia Pill is good, the price of three top-grade spirit stones is a bit too high, isn't it?" Yi Qingxue tried to convince him with reason, but her tone unconsciously became aggressive.
Upon hearing this, the black-robed monk glanced at her calmly and did not respond directly. Instead, he scanned the venue with an almost provocative look, as if to say that he could afford and was willing to pay such a price.
The atmosphere in the venue suddenly became tense, and the monks felt a mixture of emotions. Some secretly felt lucky not to have participated in this struggle, while others were filled with curiosity and speculation about the identity and strength of the black-robed monk.
And more of them turned their eyes to Yi Qingxue, waiting for her next reaction.
Yi Qingxue gritted her teeth and said, "I'll give you three top-grade spirit stones, plus a Xuantian Qingvine seedling!"
Xuantian Qingteng is a special spiritual plant that can be contracted as a natal spiritual plant. It grows with its owner, has strong combat power, can challenge higher-level enemies, and is very tenacious.
After maturity, unless it is burned to ashes by strange fire, it will resurrect and come back to life.
After refining it into a life spirit plant, one can share its lifespan, and the lifespan of the Xuantian Qingteng is as long as one thousand years.
In other words, as long as its owner's aptitude is not too bad and his luck is not too low, it is no problem to live to a thousand years old. In this way, no matter how useless he is, he can cultivate to the out-of-body stage.
And the most important thing is that it is one of the spiritual plants that best suits Wei Muyan's spiritual roots, so even if it is only a sixth-grade spiritual plant, it is still extremely precious. It is what the Wei family wants most, more precious than a top-grade spiritual stone!
By doing this, she understood the Wei family's situation and knew that they would definitely compromise for the Xuantian Qingteng.
Unexpectedly, the black-robed monk's mouth curled up into a barely perceptible sneer. His gaze lingered on Yi Qingxue for a moment, and then he slowly spoke in a low and magnetic voice: "I offer four top-grade spirit stones, plus a ten-thousand-year-old Ice Heart Lotus."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue seemed to be frozen by an invisible force, and all sounds stopped abruptly.
The Ten Thousand Years Ice Heart Lotus is a legendary creature. Not only is it extremely rare, it also contains the ultimate icy power. For cultivators who practice ice-based techniques, it is simply a dream treasure.
Its preciousness is far beyond what the Xuantian Qingteng can compare to.
And Wei Muyan happened to have the purest ice spiritual root! The Ten Thousand Year Ice Heart Lotus was more useful to her than any other treasure!
Xuantian Qingteng is just an external object. Its function for Wei Muyan is to enhance her combat power and increase her lifespan.
However, the Ten Thousand Year Ice Heart Lotus improves one's cultivation level. It is a treasure that can increase one's cultivation level by four or five times without any side effects. It is similar to the Guixu Grass that Xu Hui contracted with.
Guixu Grass also has side effects. It always steals the spiritual power and vitality she has cultivated, while the Ten Thousand Year Ice Heart Lotus is purely an auxiliary role.
Wei Muyan suddenly stood up and stared at the black-robed monk with sharp eyes.
Even Wei Mubai and Wei Muheng stood up, obviously determined to get the Ten Thousand Year Old Ice Heart Lotus.
Let alone them, who among those present would not be excited?
All the boxes on the third floor were opened, and everyone was staring at the man in black robe. Who wouldn't want such a treasure? There were many disciples in the aristocratic family, so it was easy to find one or two cultivators who practiced ice-based techniques. Even if they didn't have ice spiritual roots like Wei Muyan, they would still be of great use.
Unfortunately, this is the Wei family's auction, and people are using it to exchange for the Dixia Pill, so it is not easy for them to interfere in the transaction.
Yi Qingxue's face turned pale in an instant. She didn't expect that the black-robed monk would be so generous. The appearance of the Ten Thousand Year Ice Heart Lotus undoubtedly pushed the intensity of the auction to another peak.
She bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes flashing with extreme annoyance and anger towards the black-robed man. She gritted her teeth and said, "Fellow Daoist, please don't lie. This is the Wei family's auction house. If you can't produce the actual items, do you think you can get out?"
She was making a naked threat, but anyone with a brain would know that the man in black robe was deliberately causing trouble.
It is obvious that he is hostile to the Wei family!
Not to mention that he might not be able to produce it, even if he could, would he be willing to trade it to the Wei family just for a Dixia Pill?
The Ten Thousand Years Ice Heart Lotus was worth more than ten Cleansing Pills, so there was no way he could really trade it.
So he was just making trouble on purpose, and even if he had it, he wouldn't be able to take it out.
In that case, what is there for her to worry about? She might as well use the Wei family to force him!
The man in black robe faced Yi Qingxue's threats and questions without any ripple on his face, as if everything was under his control.
He smiled lightly, with a hint of disdain and calmness in his smile, then slowly took out an exquisite jade box from his sleeve and held it in his hand.
"You will know whether I am lying or not at first sight." The voice of the man in black robe was still low and magnetic. He gently opened the lid of the jade box, and a faint chill immediately spread out. The crystal clear lotus leaves of the Ten Thousand Year Ice Heart Lotus, which emitted a faint blue luster, instantly attracted everyone's attention.
There was a sudden sound of gasps in the venue, and everyone widened their eyes, looking at the legendary spiritual object in disbelief.
The appearance of the Ten Thousand Year Ice Heart Lotus undoubtedly proved that what the man in black robe said was true, and he indeed possessed such a rare treasure.
Yi Qingxue's face looked even uglier. She had never expected that the man in black robe would actually take out the Ten Thousand Year Old Ice Heart Lotus.
Her heart was filled with anger and resentment, but more of a sense of powerlessness.
"You...you!" Yi Qingxue pointed at the man in black robe and was speechless for a long time. There was only anger and murderous intent in her eyes.
The black-robed figure gently put away the jade box and scanned the venue once more, his gaze filled with the pride and confidence of a victor. "Miss Yi, at an auction, the highest bidder wins. Since I can afford the price, I'm naturally eligible for the Dixia Pill."
As soon as these words were spoken, the venue fell into a brief silence again.
Everyone looked at Yi Qingxue, waiting for her reaction.
However, Yi Qingxue just clenched her fists tightly and remained silent.
"Then, the Dixia Pill belongs to this fellow Taoist!" Wei Jianbai made the final decision!
