Chapter 143: Slipping away quietly

"The foundation-building spiritual item, Earth Vein Fire Demon, has a starting price of two thousand spirit stones, and each bid will be increased by at least two hundred spirit stones!"

"I'll give you 2,500 spirit stones!"

"Two thousand eight hundred spirit stones!"

"Three thousand spirit stones!"

“…”

Chen Changsheng sat in the audience, watching those people bidding madly for this earth vein fire evil, and the price soon rose from two thousand spirit stones to five thousand spirit stones.

After reaching five thousand, the bidders started to increase their prices more slowly, but soon it exceeded seven thousand, and finally the transaction was completed at a high price of seven thousand six hundred spirit stones...

"Seven thousand six hundred spirit stones, the price of this foundation-building spiritual item is really steep..."

"How could an ordinary cultivator get so many spirit stones without unexpected wealth?"

"Sure enough, it's as difficult as ascending to heaven for a casual cultivator to establish his foundation!"

Using spiritual objects to build the foundation only increases the chance by about 10%. If it fails, you will still be seriously injured, and it will take at least ten years to recover.

Normally, one needs to attempt to build a foundation before the age of sixty. If one chooses a spiritual object for building a foundation, usually, there is only one chance...

Because if he failed, by the time he recovered from his injuries, his body would be severely damaged, and he would basically have no chance to attack the foundation a second time...

It is not an easy task for an ordinary immortal cultivation family to gather several thousand spirit stones.

"The following is the second finale of the auction item, the mid-grade spiritual weapon Yaoyang Sword!"

"This item is made of top-grade Yaoyang Iron... The starting price is two thousand spirit stones, and each bid must not be less than two hundred spirit stones!" said the auctioneer.

Compared to foundation-building spiritual objects, there are far fewer people bidding for this mid-grade spiritual weapon.

Spiritual weapons are usually used by cultivators in the foundation-building stage and cannot be used by cultivators in the Qi training stage. However, they consume a lot of mana and can basically only be used as a trump card.

Therefore, almost all those who bid for this item are foundation-building cultivators.

There were not many foundation-building cultivators in Longhu Lake, so naturally there were only a few people participating in the auction. The price was soon raised to 4,300 spirit stones and was bought on the spot by a foundation-building cultivator.

The private room at the deepest part of the auction.

"It's really a loss to put this Yaoyang Sword up for auction here. If it were sent to Sanyang City, it would be worth at least five thousand spirit stones!" Han Qianyuan shook his head regretfully.

"Different places naturally have different perspectives. Sanyang City is the number one city for independent cultivators in Yuezhou. Countless masters gather there, including hundreds of foundation-building cultivators. The demand for spiritual artifacts is huge, so the prices are naturally high."

"Although our Dragon Lake is not small, its resources are average. It's difficult for a true dragon to appear in shallow water. There are only a few foundation-building cultivators, so spiritual weapons naturally can't be sold at a high price."

"Just like that underground fire evil, it can be sold for more than 7,000 spirit stones here, but if it is placed in Sanyang City, 6,000 spirit stones is already the maximum!" Han Qianyuan's grandfather laughed.

Different places have different demands for goods, which leads to price differences.

Merchants rely on this price difference to make profits!

"Grandpa, why don't we take the spiritual weapon to Sanyang City to sell it?" Han Qianyuan asked.

"Qianyuan, you have to remember that our Lingxi Island is the largest island in Longhu Lake. As the largest island, we must have the aura of the largest island. We cannot lose this aura for some petty gains!"

"By auctioning off spiritual weapons, it may seem like we've lost some spiritual stones, but what we gain is the respect and awe of other factions. This can earn us huge popularity!"

"The spiritual stones lost on this spiritual weapon can be compensated through other means!" Han Qianyuan's grandfather said with a smile.

Auction hall!

"The following is the third and finale auction item, a copy of the second-level lower-grade alchemy master's inheritance!"

"It contains twenty-seven first-level pill recipes, six second-level pill recipes, and even a foundation-building pill recipe. Fellow Daoists who are interested in practicing foundation-building pills should not miss it!"

"The starting price for this inheritance is two thousand spirit stones, and each bid must be no less than two hundred spirit stones!"

Alchemy inheritance?

Unfortunately... it's only a low-grade second-level...

The alchemy inheritance he received from Song Tianming basically belongs to this level.

Just because Chen Changsheng isn't interested doesn't mean others aren't interested...

In fact, the inheritance of alchemy is rare, and the consumption of elixirs is high, so many families want to train their own alchemists.

Not to mention the inheritance of a second-level alchemist, it also includes the recipe for the foundation-building pill.

Even if it was a first-class, top-grade alchemist inheritance, there were still many people vying for it...

"Two thousand five hundred spirit stones!"

"Two thousand eight hundred spirit stones!"

"Three thousand spirit stones..."

“…”

The price quickly soared to 5,000 spirit stones, and the final transaction price was 6,300 spirit stones...

Seeing this transaction price, Chen Changsheng couldn't help but be shocked...

"Song Tianming is really awesome! It's like he gave me over 6,000 spirit stones for free..."

"No, it's more than 6,000 spirit stones. If you take into account Song Tianming's own experience in alchemy, the value would probably be doubled..."

"Okay, everyone, here is the last item for auction, an egg from the Forest of Ten Thousand Demons!" the auctioneer introduced.

"Eggs from the Ten Thousand Demon Forest, monster eggs?"

"What level of monster egg is it? If it's level one, it won't be very useful. But if it's level two, it's a different story!"

"Yes, a second-level monster, if you raise it up, it will be a foundation-building ancestor who can protect the prosperity of the family for hundreds of years!"

“…”

Suddenly, many people became interested...

The foundation-building and second-order monsters are at the same level, but their lifespans are very different.

Humans generally live shorter lives, while monsters generally live longer lives.

A human needs to be at the Nascent Soul stage to live for over a thousand years, but a second-level Spirit Tortoise can easily live for over a thousand years...

Of course, there are gains and losses. Although humans have a short lifespan, they can cultivate relatively quickly. However, it is very difficult for monsters to advance, and they are usually restricted by their bloodlines, making it difficult for them to advance.

"Please don't worry, everyone. This is the egg of a second-level monster, the Mud Crocodile. As we all know, the Mud Crocodile is an amphibious animal, living both in water and on land. If this monster is successfully bred in captivity, it would be perfect for our Longhu Lake!"

"The second-level monster Niluo Crocodile Egg has begun auctioning. The starting price is 3,000 Spirit Stones, and each bid must be no less than 300 Spirit Stones!"

"Three thousand five hundred!"

"Four thousand..."

“…”

Seeing this, Chen Changsheng quietly stood up...

He was not going to continue participating in this auction.

What does a monster egg have to do with him? He's all alone...

Inside the box, Han Qianyuan had been paying attention to Chen Changsheng's movements. Seeing Chen Changsheng stand up, he hurriedly said, "Grandpa, Chen Changsheng is leaving!"

"What? Go?"

"Leave? Humph, don't worry about him, he can't get away!" Han Qianyuan's grandfather shook his head.

How could we let Chen Changshou go?

That guy has the Tianling Fruit in his hand!

Although it would take nearly a hundred years for the Heavenly Spirit Fruit to mature, the Han family was a family of immortal cultivators and could afford to wait. Even if they weren't impatient, they could use magical techniques to force the fruit to ripen...

Therefore, no matter who gets the Tianling Fruit, the Han family will never let that person go!
