Chapter 384: Chapter 61: 150,000 Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, Foundation Establishment Pill! Foundation Establishment Pill!
It is incredibly difficult to collect them all by oneself.
But if one leverages the task hall, it might not be impossible.
Even if there are no actual items, just some information about the corresponding treasures would be valuable.
Thus, he sought out the task hall steward, Du Ping, once more.
Of course, he was using his identity as Changsheng Daoist at this time, and the other party did not recognize him.
After spending a sum of Spirit Stones and listing his needs, Zhou Changwang silently headed towards the auction house.
Soon, he entered the auction hall.
His gaze swept over, his pupils slightly constricted.
Twelve Foundation Establishment Realm powerhouses.
Over a hundred practitioners above the Seventh-Layer Qi Cultivation.
And this was just the beginning; outside the hall, many more cultivators were hurrying to join the auction.
He quickly found a corner to sit down.
Just as he sat down, he suddenly felt his scalp grow cold, and, turning his gaze, locked eyes with a pair of vicious eyes.
It was that Foundation Establishment Realm True Cultivator, Teng Peng!
Frowning, Zhou Changwang did not care.
He was aware of the scale of this auction; one of the organizers, the Cyan Leaf Alliance, had no fewer than three Foundation Establishment Realm True Cultivators present.
Not to mention, there was Master Jiu.
Zhou Changwang now knew that this Master Jiu was indeed a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
In Divine Wind Valley Marketplace, he was only second to the Workshop Master, Ye Yanshu, in power.
As time went by, more and more cultivators entered the auction.
Finally, when the auction truly started, the hall below was almost full.
There were at least two hundred cultivators at Late Stage of Qi Cultivation or above, plus the earlier twelve, and the six Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators arriving later, making the scale of the auction undeniably considerable.
"Everyone!
Welcome, fellow Daoists, to this auction.
Next, I, Feng Xue, will preside over this auction."
As the auction began, a beautiful woman emerged from backstage, calm gaze directed toward the crowd below.
"Another Foundation Establishment Realm True Cultivator.
Indeed, the scale of this auction is truly substantial.
Even the auctioneer is a Foundation Establishment Realm powerhouse."
Zhou Changwang was slightly astonished but not surprised.
Spider Silk Fairy Chen Xiao’Er?
The previous smaller auctions might have held sway, but with a dozen or so Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators present, it was not necessarily the case.
The black market, after all, was just the black market!
Its deterrence to many Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators was actually not much.
"Next, we officially start the auction.
The first item is a Treasure Artifact!
Low-Grade Treasure Artifact, Flowing Moon Flying Knife!
This Treasure Artifact was crafted by Master Liu of Celestial Treasure Tower over three years, with a crescent shape, three feet long, weighing... the starting price is fifty thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, each bid must increase by no less than one thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones."
Following the introduction and display, the auction officially commenced.
"Sixty thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones!"
"Sixty-five thousand!"
"Seventy thousand!"
Voices calling out bids ensued.
Mostly Foundation Establishment cultivators spoke.
Although there might be some with substantial wealth among the Qi Cultivation Stage level, purchasing a Treasure Artifact could hardly unleash its true power.
This Treasure Artifact was, after all, prepared for those Foundation Establishment cultivators, so no one competed against them.
Ultimately, the first Low-Grade Treasure Artifact, Flowing Moon Flying Knife, was auctioned off at a price of 127,000 Lower-Grade Spirit Stones by a Foundation Establishment Female Cultivator.
It is worth mentioning that even Teng Peng called out a few bids, but after the price climbed to 120,000 Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, he could only begrudgingly abandon bidding.
"Could he only have twelve thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones?"
In Zhou Changwang’s mind emerged a faint speculation.
Soon, Feng Xue brought out another treasure.
This time it was a Jade Box.
"The Spirit Isolation Box, said to block all Spiritual Qi.
Any Spirit Plant placed inside can have its Spiritual Qi retained for at least a century.
Starting bid at three thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones..."
"Wind Control Pearl, wind attribute exotic treasure, grants wind control for wind attribute cultivators and significantly aids them.
It assists cultivators in effortlessly performing cultivation techniques, like adding wings to a tiger..."
"Three Sealing Thunder Talismans, drawn by Talisman Master Ascendant Feng Hua.
Sealed with Thunder Skill, the prowess of each talisman can equal the full strength of a Seventh-Layer Qi Cultivation Practitioner.
Unfortunately, since last month, Ascendant Feng Hua mysteriously disappeared, making these Sealing Thunder Talismans increasingly scarce.
Starting bid at five thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, each bid must increase by no less than one hundred Lower-Grade Spirit Stones."
"Ten Evil-faced Ghost Talismans, also drawn by Talisman Master Ascendant Feng Hua.
Rare summoning spirit talismans to call ’Evil-faced Ghost’ to defend, with strength comparable to a Fifth-Layer Qi Cultivation Practitioner.
Starting bid of ten talismans at three thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, each bid must increase by no less than one hundred Lower-Grade Spirit Stones."
...
Items and treasures were brought forth and swiftly auctioned off.
The entire scene bustled with excitement.
What surprised Zhou Changwang was that he saw his own ’creations’ at the auction — Sealing Thunder Talisman, Evil-faced Ghost Talisman, Mao Jiang Talisman were all present.
The popularity of these spirit talismans exceeded his expectations.
From where the power of a Sealing Thunder Talisman could equate a full-strength strike of a Seventh-Layer Qi Cultivation Practitioner, he typically sold them for 1,500 Lower-Grade Spirit Stones each.
