Translator: Daoist6fubtiW
Zhou Auction House.
In a private room in the sixth auction hall.
Watching the servant girl who served the two spiritual tea and spiritual fruits leave, Chen Daoxuan looked at the wide auction hall and sighed,” The Zhou Clan is truly imposing. Such a huge auction hall, and it’s only a branch hall of the Zhou Clan Auction House.”
“Yeah,”
Chen Xianhe nodded.” Every room here is covered with black rocks that block the detection of divine senses to protect the privacy of the customers to the greatest extent.”
Hearing this.
Chen Daoxuan used his divine sense to scan the room. Just as Chen Xianhe said, his divine sense was blocked by an invisible force when it reached someone else’s room.
After observing for a while, Chen Daoxuan and Chen Xianhe quietly waited for the auction to begin.
After the time for an incense stick to burn.
When the customers who came to participate in the auction arrived one after another, the auction officially began.
An old man with white hair and a youthful face stood on the auction stage in the middle of the hall.
The old man was a Foundation Building cultivator from the Zhou Clan. He seemed to be very familiar with hosting such auctions.
With a few simple opening remarks, the auction officially began.
The first item up for auction was a bottle of second-grade spirit pills, the Essence Recovery Pill. After consumption, it could help Foundation Establishment Cultivators recover 30% of their true essence, but they could only consume one pill per month.
Otherwise, if they were to consume it continuously in a short period of time, the pill poison would cause irreparable injuries to the cultivator’s body.
“I’m sure everyone is very clear about the characteristics of the Returning Essence Pill, so I won’t say anything more.” The starting price is 2000 spirit stones, and each increment must not be lower than 100 spirit stones.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
The sound of bidding could be heard in the private room.
“2100 Spirit Stones!”
” 2300 Spirit Stones!”
The price of a bottle of Revival Pills rose higher and higher, and in the end, it was sold for 2500 spirit stones.
Silently listening to the final transaction price of the pill, Chen Daoxuan couldn’t help but sigh,””The market price of a Vitality Restoration Pill is only 200 spirit stones per pill. After his auction, the price has increased by 25%. The Zhou family really knows how to do business.”
Chen Xianhe shook his head.” Compared to the magical equipment market, elixirs are in even greater demand. It’s common to buy them at a premium. A 25% premium is not too much of a loss.”
Next, one treasure after another was sold by the Auction House.
During this period, there were no vicious auctions.
Actually, thinking about it carefully, it was very normal.
The Zhou Auction House held an auction every other month, and the treasures being auctioned had already been publicized during this month.
The people who came to the auction had a clear goal and had a psychological price for their target.
Unless someone had taken a fancy to the same treasure.
Otherwise, there would be very few auctions. Basically, it would be obtained at a price that was less than 20% to 30% higher than the starting price.
After ail, no one’s spirit stones came from nowhere. Brainless bidding would only appear in novels.
“Everyone knows that spirit veins are hard to come by, and cultivators need spirit energy to cultivate. The next item to be auctioned was a Tier 1 Spirit Resting Array that could assist in nurturing spirit veins, as well as the materials for setting up the array. The starting price is 1,000 spirit stones, and each increment must not be lower than 100 spirit stones.”
When the target appeared, Chen Daoxuan and the other man in the box immediately became excited.
“1,100 spirit stones!”
Chen Daoxuan bid.
” 1,200 spirit stones.”
In another private room, the sound of bidding could be heard.
” Two hundred spirit stones each time …”
1,500 Spirit Stones!”
Chen Daoxuan immediately raised the price to 1,500 Spiritual Stones, which was 50% higher than the auction price.
This bid immediately caused the private rooms to discuss animatedly.
1,500 Spirit Stones just to buy a Spirit Accumulation Array.”
The Foundation Building cultivator in the private room next to Chen Daoxuan shook his head.” There’s really no place to burn too much money!”
As expected.
Chen Daoxuan’s swift and fierce bid directly scared off the opponent who dared to bid with him. The Tier 1 Spirit Accumulation Array officially fell into his hands.
After buying the Profound Spirit Array, Chen Daoxuan and Chen Xianhe immediately relaxed.
To them, their goal had been achieved. All that was left was to watch the show.
Very quickly.
The auction was already halfway through.
At this moment, the old man coughed and introduced awkwardly, “”The treasure being auctioned next is a cultivation technique that was extremely popular in ancient times …”
The old man paused.
Ancient cultivation technique? Chen Daoxuan’s curiosity was piqued.
” The name of this technique is ‘Dragon Python Sky-devouring Technique’. It’s a top-notch technique for body refinement in ancient times. When this technique is cultivated to a certain level, it’s enough for a cultivator to use their body to resist a magic tool. Its power is endless!”
After awkwardly boasting about this cultivation technique, the old man knocked on the auction hammer and said,” The bidding price of the Dragon Python Heaven Swallowing Technique is 1,000 spirit stones. Each bid must not be lower than 100 spirit stones.”
However, this time.
A rare silence fell over the auction venue.
No one made a bid. Instead, they all looked at the Foundation Establishment Cultivator of the Zhou Family with interest.
The old man waited for a long time and saw that no one was bidding. He could only say awkwardly,”Since none of you are interested in this cultivation technique, then…”
“1,000 Spirit Stones!”
” Alright, a fellow Daoist has bid 1,000 spirit stones. Anyone else?”
The old man looked around and saw that no one answered. He said decisively,”
Congratulations to the guest in Room 7 for obtaining the ancient
body-tempering technique, the Dragon Python Sky-devouring Technique.”
“Pa!”
The hammer fell, and the deal was finalized.
In private room number seven.
Chen Xianhe looked at Chen Daoxuan speechlessly and said, “”Why did you buy this?”
“What’s wrong? Is a body tempering technique very difficult to cultivate?”
Chen Daoxuan was puzzled.
It’s not difficult to cultivate.”
Chen Xianhe pondered for a moment.” Do you know why this kind of body-tempering technique that was once popular has gradually been abandoned by us cultivators? ”
“Why?”
Chen Daoxuan was also very curious.
Logically speaking, such a top-notch body-tempering cultivation technique should not be left on the bench. However, the reality was that everyone showed no interest in this body-tempering cultivation technique.
This was obviously illogical.
” It’s because cultivating a body-tempering technique consumes too many resources!”
Chen Xianhe shook his head.” Someone once calculated in detail that cultivators who cultivate body-tempering techniques at the same time consume more than ten times the resources of ordinary cultivators of the same level.
With so many resources, it’s enough for you to buy ten top-notch defensive magic tools. Why waste time and effort to cultivate some body-tempering cultivation technique?”
“I see.”
Chen Daoxuan didn’t care much about it because he knew that the Chen family would lack everything in the future. The only thing they didn’t lack was cultivation resources.
No one knew better than him that once industrial production was achieved, resources would flood into their Chen family like a tide.
At that time, what the Chen family lacked was not resources, but how to transform resources into strength.
Chen Daoxuan felt that it was not a loss for him to buy a top-notch body-tempering technique that could increase the strength of his clansmen in the future with a thousand spirit stones.
He purchased two items.
Chen Daoxuan already felt that this trip had been completed. He did not plan to bid again and only waited for the auction to end.
An hour later.
The auction was coming to an end.
As the finale treasure, the Zhou Clan also took out a treasure unique to them–the Water Spirit Pearl.
Moreover, it was not an ordinary Tier 1 Water Spirit Pearl, but a Tier 2 Water Spirit Pearl.
“The last item is a treasure that our Zhou clan produces, the second grade Water Spirit Pearl. 1 don’t think 1 need to elaborate on the effects of the second-grade Water Spirit Pearl here. I can only say one thing. It can be used together with medicinal pills to assist cultivators in their cultivation!”
As expected, the old man’s words ignited the atmosphere.
Even Chen Daoxuan’s eyes turned red when he saw the Tier 2 Water Spirit Bead. How strong the effect of this thing was, Chen Daoxuan could not be clearer.
The Water Spirit Pearl played an important role in his quick advancement from the third qi layer to the fourth qi layer.
Moreover, the ten Water Spirit Pearls that the Zhou Clan had auctioned were Tier 2 Water Spirit Pearls. Their effects were even stronger than Tier 1 Two-Water Spirit Pearls.
” A total of ten Grade Two Water Spirit Beads. The bidding price is ten thousand spirit stones. Each bid must not be lower than one thousand spirit stones. Please make your bids!”
Elder Zhou smiled.
The reason why the Zhou Auction House was so popular was because they often auctioned off Water Spirit Pearls.
Everyone knew.
In the Infinite Star Sea, only the Zhou Family of Guang ‘an Prefecture had Water Spirit Pearls for sale.
The other clans also wanted to learn from the Zhou clan to capture mermen, but they did not have the unique capturing methods of the Zhou clan..
