Chapter 25: Qing Ming Sword
With the auction of the first foundation-building pill, the entire auction reached a small climax. Many cultivators were red-faced and excited, and at this time, cultivators were no different from mortals.
"The following is the 78th lot, a set of second-level Xuan-level insect master inheritance. It includes the life spirit insect contract, the contract array that can contract spirit insects in batches, the inherited secret technique of insect control, the insect melting technique, and other complete inheritance.
A copy of the Spirit Insect Atlas is included, which contains most of the known spirit insect atlases in the current cultivation world.
The starting price is 1000 Lingshi! Each bid increase must not be less than 50 Lingshi. "
"I'll offer 1200 Spiritual Stones!"
"I'll offer 1250 Spiritual Stones!"
Insect cultivation is a niche tradition in the world of immortal cultivation. Because it consumes a lot of resources, it is difficult for casual cultivators to afford to raise a large number of spiritual insects. Raising a small number of them will not be of much use. Most of the bids are from foundation-building cultivators and foundation-building families.
So the reaction on the spot was not that enthusiastic. This is also the reason why Wanbao Pavilion wanted to give away the Spirit Insect Book.
After all, it is a second-level inheritance, and the price has gradually increased.
"I offer 2600 spirit stones!" This was Grandpa's offer.
"I offer 2800 spirit stones," a voice came from the box opposite.
"I'll offer 3000 spirit stones!" Grandpa said calmly.
After waiting for a while, no one bid again.
Qian Zhongyun then said: "Congratulations to Box No. 6 for winning the second-level inheritance.
The following is the 79th lot, a set of second-level Xuan-level formation inheritance, including 24 first-level upper, middle and lower formations and 17 second-level upper, middle and lower formations.
A set of introductory atlas for array masters is included, which covers basic entry to advanced proficiency and is simple and easy to use.
The starting price is 2000 Lingshi! Each bid increase must not be less than 100 Lingshi. "
"I'll offer 2500 Spiritual Stones!"
"I'll give you 2800 Spiritual Stones"
This formation inheritance is quite popular, and people are bidding one after another.
"I offer 4000 spirit stones!" This was the patriarch's offer.
"I offer 4200 spirit stones!" He was quickly surpassed.
The price was set at 6800 Spiritual Stones. After waiting for a while, no one made another bid.
Qian Zhongyun then said, "Congratulations to Box 11 for winning the second-level formation inheritance."
……
"The 100th lot is the Foundation Building Pill that everyone is looking forward to. Please invite our second Foundation Building Pill to the stage today."
The beautiful female cultivator once again came to the stage, holding the tray of Foundation Establishment Pills in both hands.
"The starting price for the Foundation Building Pill is 1 Spirit Stone! Each bid increase must not be less than 100 Spirit Stones."
The atmosphere, which was originally a bit dull, became lively again.
"I'll offer 20000 Spiritual Stones!"
"I'll offer 30000 Spiritual Stones!"
"I'll offer 35000 Spiritual Stones!"
The bidders came one after another, even more enthusiastic than the auction for the first Foundation Establishment Pill.
"I'll offer 45000 Spiritual Stones!"
"I'll offer 48000 Spiritual Stones!"
"I offer 50000 spirit stones!" This was the voice from the box opposite.
The scene suddenly became quiet. It seemed that 50000 spirit stones was a psychological barrier for everyone and would not be easily broken!
With the support of the second foundation-building pill, everyone's emotions were aroused again.
After three or four hours of auction, all eight Foundation Establishment Pills were sold at high prices.
The first six pieces were sold for 50000 Lingshi, the seventh piece for 55000 Lingshi, and the last piece for 58000 Lingshi, breaking the highest record in Pingyang Prefecture.
"All 392 lots and eight foundation-building pills were sold successfully. Thank you for your support! Here are the three final treasures that Wanbao Pavilion has prepared for you.
Please look at the first treasure. Qian Zhongyun waved his hand and a flying sword appeared.
This is a second-grade top-grade spiritual flying sword. Its name is Qingming Sword. Its main material is Qingjing Iron, and a little bit of fourth-grade spiritual material Gengjin is added. It is also refined with Xuanbing spiritual water, so the sword body is smooth and solid.
The quality of the flying sword has reached the pinnacle of the second level, and it still retains a slight possibility of being promoted to a third-level magic weapon. It is the first choice for sword cultivators, and even more so the favorite of sword cultivators. "
Hearing this, the clan leader stood up excitedly, obviously liking this flying sword very much.
The starting price of Qingming Sword is 1 Lingshi! Each bid increase shall not be less than 100 Lingshi.
"I'll offer 3000 Spiritual Stones!"
"I'll offer 4000 Spiritual Stones!"
"I offer 5000 spirit stones!" The clan leader also followed suit and made a bid.
However, it was surpassed in the next second, and the price soared all the way, soon breaking the 10,000 spirit stone mark.
"I'll offer 12000 spirit stones!" The clan leader excitedly stood at the window. But the bidding was still fierce!
"I offer 14000 spirit stones!" Another person in the box made an offer.
This price already exceeds the total number of spirit stones in the clan leader’s storage bag.
"eleven!"
The clan leader called out "Grandpa Lin Fandao".
Grandpa handed the prepared storage bag to the clan leader, who looked at him with gratitude.
Continue to step out!
"I'll give you 15000 spiritual stones."
"I offer 16000 spirit stones!" Apparently, someone also likes this flying sword very much.
"I offer 18000 spirit stones!" The clan leader raised the price by two thousand spirit stones at a time.
The other party was silent for a while before speaking: "I offer 19200 spirit stones."
It's obvious that he has given his all.
The clan leader thought for a moment and said, "I'll offer 20000 spirit stones."
This time, no one spoke! Qian Zhongyun's voice sounded at the right time: "Congratulations to Box 6 for winning the first finale treasure."
The clan leader breathed a sigh of relief and experienced the same feeling as Fourteenth Uncle just now.
"Eleven! Thank you this time. I will return the spirit stones to you later." The clan leader said seriously.
"There's no rush for the spirit stones. The stronger you are, the more stable the family will be." Grandpa said with a smile.
The clan leader nodded and said, "I will go hand in the spirit stone first, and take the sword back to refine it. Things may not be peaceful when I return later!"
When Grandpa heard this, he felt it made sense and quickly said, "Then let's go together!"
Just now, grandpa helped Lin Changqing to buy a set of second-level insect cultivation inheritance, plus Lin Changqing’s own purchase of a first-level top-quality golden thread escape light needle.
I went backstage to pay the spirit stones to get the auction item. When I returned to the box, I just heard that the second treasure, a third-grade top-quality Earth Soul Fruit, was sold for 50,000 spirit stones.
The grandfather and grandson looked at each other tacitly and nodded imperceptibly.
The clan leader is stepping up the practice of refining the Qingming Sword.
Lin Changqing also took out the golden thread escape needle to practice it, hoping that he would not need it later.
The last treasure came on stage, this was the spirit beast egg of the fourth-level green-scaled dragon. Qian Zhongyun's voice sounded at the right time:
"The Green Scaled Dragon, also known as the Green Dragon, can reach the fourth level when fully grown, which is equivalent to a human Jindan-stage cultivator. This spiritual beast has great potential, and there is even a possibility that it can evolve into a blue dragon.
A water-attributed spiritual beast, it has a very high spirituality and strong attack and defense capabilities.
Whether as a spiritual pet or as the natal spiritual beast of a beast taming monk, the Green Scaled Dragon is a good choice.
It can also serve as a guardian spirit beast. Once it grows up, it can protect a family for at least a thousand years."
As Qian Zhongyun's voice fell, the scene became boiling with a bang. Who wouldn't want to have such a powerful spirit beast to protect them?
"The starting price for the Green Scaled Dragon Spirit Beast Egg is 1 Spirit Stone! Each bid increase must not be less than 100 Spirit Stones."
"I'll offer 6000 Spiritual Stones!"
"I'll offer 8000 Spiritual Stones!"
"I'll offer 9000 Spiritual Stones!"
Prices soared all the way, and the sound of quotes came one after another.
But this has little to do with Lin Changqing and the others, so they just stay in the box and watch quietly.
Today, the Lin family has already bought a foundation-building pill and a second-grade top-grade flying sword.
If I take another picture of this spirit beast egg, my journey back will definitely not be peaceful.
Now we just have to wait for the clan leader to refine the flying sword, and then we will go back together, and try not to create any more complications.
After a while of noise, the dust finally settled and the spirit beast egg was bought by Box No. 100000 for 1 spirit stones.
After sending the spirit beast egg off the stage, Qian Zhongyun stood on the stage again.
"There are 400 lots in this auction, and there are three final treasures. All of them were sold successfully, and none of them were left unsold. Thank you again to everyone present for your trust and support for Wanbao Pavilion.
The next auction will be held in ten years. We look forward to your visit again in ten years.
Thank you everyone! The auction is officially over."
Grandpa asked Uncle Fourteen to go downstairs to inform the clan members not to leave the market yet, but to gather near the Wanbao Pavilion and wait for the clan leader to refine the flying sword before setting off.
At this time, other people had already left the market one after another. After waiting for a while, the clan leader finally completed the ritual.
After counting the number of people, the main group left the market and boarded the wind boat to start the return journey. On the road, they could see scattered monks on their way, and also felt the fluctuations of mana from several monks fighting.
Grandfather was driving the Fengxing Boat with all his strength, while the clan leader held his sword across his knee, fully alert to prevent any sneak attack.
Fortunately, nothing happened along the way, and we returned to Jiufeng Mountain safely and entered the mountain protection formation. The clan leader and grandfather both breathed a sigh of relief.
