The 12th of April was the first day of the Blood Condensation Realm auction on Dikun Island. Due to the lifting of the sea restriction, the scale of this auction was unprecedented. Not only did the number of cultivators increase, but a batch of precious spiritual materials obtained by the cultivators who went out to sea for the past half a year would also be auctioned off. This greatly enriched the contents of the auction.
Originally, Lu Ping didn't plan to attend this auction. His "North Sea Wave Listening Technique" was at a crucial point in refining his arcane energy. Moreover, Lu Ping didn't have any cultivation resources that he urgently needed. However, on the eve of the auction, Yao Yong, Du Feng, Shi Lingling, Zhong Jian, Ma Yu, Leng Qian, Niu Dazhuang, and Zheng Jie all came to Huang Li Island at the same time.
Yao Yong and the others were naturally there to invite Lu Ping and Hu Lili to join them. Niu Dazhuang and Zheng Jie, on the other hand, were there to look for Hu Lili. Feeling embarrassed, Lu Ping had no choice but to come out of seclusion. He called Chen Lian along and the eleven of them headed to Dikun Island.
The auction hall was already packed with people. The Multi-Treasure Pavilion quickly expanded the auction hall's size, but it was still crowded. Lu Ping looked around and estimated that there were more than a thousand Blood Condensation Realm cultivators in the auction hall.
Shi Lingling complained, "Why are there so many people? If only we were in the Blood Refining Realm, we could go straight to the VIP rooms. But now that we're in the Blood Condensation Realm, we can't do that! The adults in my family think that my cultivation is too low and won't give me an invitation. They want me to attend with them. I won't! "
Everyone knew that Shi Lingling's identity wasn't ordinary, and he was also the youngest among them. They smiled and listened to his complaints.
Ever since the sea ban was lifted, everyone's cultivation base had improved. Not only had Lu Ping reached the Third Layer Blood Condensation Realm, but Yao Yong, Du Feng, and Zhong Jian had also successfully broken through to the Second Layer. Although Ma Yu hadn't broken through to the Third Layer, she was already at the peak of the Second Layer. Hu Lili broke through to the Blood Condensation Realm later, but she was now at the peak of the First Layer. Shi Lingling, Leng Qian, Zheng Jie, and Niu Dazhuang had just advanced.
Most of the cultivators attending the auction were at the mid-stage Blood Condensation Realm and above. Early stage Blood Condensation Realm cultivators were rarely seen. After all, the auction was for elites or wealthy cultivators. Shi Lingling and the other early stage Blood Condensation Realm Minor Repairs Cultivators naturally weren't noticed by the management.
Just when everyone was about paying the entrance fee of 500 spirit stones and going to a corner of the auction, Ping Ping of the auction of the auction hall, the entrance, and Blood of the auction were sent. of the auction of the auction. of the.
When the guard saw Lu Ping's invitation card, he ignored the fact that these cultivators were only Early Blood Condensation Realm cultivators and quickly said politely, "This is a VIP invitation card. You can enjoy the VIP room. Please follow me."
Everyone looked at Lu Ping in surprise. Lu Ping shrugged and said, "I often buy things here. I'm familiar with the manager here, so I asked for an invitation."
Shi Lingling giggled and said, "As if I'd believe you!"
The group followed the Pavilion of Multi-Treasures' guard to a teleportation array. The guard said, "This teleportation array is specially built to keep the identities of our VIPs secret. Your invitation is the activation talisman for the teleportation array. It can send you to any room you want. Even our Multi-Treasures Pavilion doesn't know the room number of your room."
Everyone was impressed by the Multi-Treasures Pavilion's meticulousness. When the eleven of them arrived at the teleportation array, the invitation in Lu Ping's hand flashed. In the blink of an eye, they appeared in Room 19. Through the room, they could see the huge auction hall filled with thousands of Blood Condensation cultivators.
After everyone found their seats, the stone table in the middle of the room suddenly flashed and 11 jade teacups appeared on it. Green smoke rose from the teacups. These were the Cloud Opening Tea that Lu Ping used to serve Hu Lili.
At first, everyone was not used to this kind of setting, especially when Lu Ping had an invitation. Everyone was curious about his identity. Unknowingly, Lu Ping seemed to have become a stranger in their eyes. Even a simple and honest person like Niu Dazhuang was very reserved in this room.
Hu Lili giggled and said, "This should be the trading platform used by the auction hall. After a cultivator makes a bid, they can place their spirit stones on this small teleportation platform. After the auction house receives the spirit stones, the items won by the cultivator will be sent to the room through the teleportation platform."
As Hu Lili spoke, she passed the tea to everyone in the room. Hu Lili was knowledgeable and had a glib tongue. She was the best at adjusting the atmosphere. After a while, everyone in the room was chatting and laughing. Soon, they forgot about the invitation. Even Niu Dazhuang, Zheng Jie, and Chen Lian, the three new cultivators, quickly became familiar with each other.
Actually, Lu Ping didn't have any special status. It was just that he had a record of spending money at the auction when he was still in the Blood Refining Realm. After he entered the Blood Condensation Realm, he had a few large transactions with the Store of Bountiful Treasures. Steward Jia, who was in charge of his transactions, valued him very much and gave him an invitation. However, this invitation involved Xuan Ling Sect's Qiao Xipeng's three Condensed Blood Pearls, so it wasn't convenient for Lu Ping to explain.
The auction soon announced the start of the auction. Everyone in the room was attracted by the items that were going to be auctioned. Only Lu Ping didn't pay much attention to these things. He quietly cultivated in the room, condensing the arcane energy of the North Sea Wave Listening Technique. At the same time, he opened the spirit beast pouch. Three small snakes, each about a foot long, with crystal clear surfaces, slithered out and coiled around Lu Ping's right hand.
These three little snakes were hatched from Lu Ping's three Green Sea Snake eggs. During the hatching process, Lu Ping had been using his arcane energy to strengthen the eggs' vitality and shorten the hatching process. Therefore, the three little snakes were very familiar with and infatuated with Lu Ping's aura. They treated Lu Ping like their own parents.
The three little snakes were green in color, blue in color, and white in color. Lu Ping named them Lu Bi, Lu Hai, and Lu Ling respectively, taking the meaning of Green Sea Snake.
When everyone in the room saw that Lu Ping had raised three snakes as spirit beast pets, a few ladies even ridiculed Lu Ping's bad taste for keeping such gloomy and terrifying demon beasts as spirit beasts. When everyone saw the three beautiful, crystal-like little snakes, they began to be amazed at the cuteness of the three spirit snakes. However, everyone had a natural fear of snakes, so they only looked at them from afar and didn't touch them.
The young Green Sea Snakes were not much different from ordinary snake demons. Therefore, among the crowd, even Hu Lili didn't realize that these three little snakes were the famous Green Sea Snakes among the demon beasts.
Lu Ping fed the three spirit snakes three pills that he had specially refined for them. He also fed them some of the young demon beast meat that he bought from a cultivator in the buffer zone. Seeing that the three little snakes were full and didn't move, Lu Ping kept them into his spirit beast pouch.
At this time, the auction house was auctioning a high-grade flying sword. Lu Ping took a look and found that it was inferior to his Soaring Sword, so he felt a little disdainful. However, Hu Lili and the others were watching with great interest.
"6,200 spirit stones. This Fellow Daoist has bid 6,200 spirit stones. Are there any other Fellow Daoists present who would like to bid? This is a high-grade fire-attribute flying sword that was refined using high-grade spiritual material, Fire Iron. It's of high quality and is the first choice for Blood Condensation cultivators who cultivate fire-attribute cultivation techniques. "The auctioneer was Manager Jia, whom Lu Ping was familiar with.
Yao Yong was quite interested in this flying sword. However, he was already Enlightened Master Qu Xuancheng's disciple. Enlightened Master Qu had already promised to reward him with a fire-attribute high-grade magic artifact after he advanced to the mid-stage Blood Condensation Realm. That was why he didn't participate in the auction.
After Manager Jia's vigorous promotion, the flying sword was finally sold for 7,000 spirit stones.
"The next item is a top-grade pill suitable for early-stage Blood Condensation cultivators, the Green Miracle Pill! I believe that even if you haven't seen it before, you should have heard of it. It's one of the top-grade cultivation pills for early-stage Blood Condensation cultivators. Every pill is 50% more effective than an ordinary early-stage Blood Condensation cultivator's cultivation pill. I won't say anything else. Five bottles of Green Miracle Pills will be auctioned together. The starting price is 6,000 spirit stones, and each increment must be no less than 100 spirit stones. Let's start the bidding now. "
As soon as Manager Jia finished speaking, Lu Ping's eyes lit up. This top-grade pill was exactly what he needed right now. Which early-stage Blood Condensation cultivator wouldn't drool over such a pill? Following the auctioneer's voice, the price of the five bottles of Green Miracle Pills was raised to 8,000 spirit stones. This price caused many early Blood Condensation cultivators to shrink back.
"8,500 spirit stones!"
Lu Ping's bid once again shocked everyone in the private room. Hu Lili exclaimed, "Why do you need so many? Didn't you get quite a lot of pills on Fei Ling Island? Besides, you're already at the Third Layer of the Blood Condensation Realm. The pills you have should be enough for you to reach the mid-stage Blood Condensation Realm."
Shi Lingling, Ma Yu, and the rest knew that Lu Ping had offended the sect's pill refinement master at Tian Ling Mountain. Hu Lili had been on Huang Li Island for a long time, so she didn't have much information. After listening to Shi Lingling and the rest's explanation, she couldn't help but blame Lu Ping for not knowing how to be patient.
In fact, Lu Ping wasn't just preparing for the possibility of trouble from the sect's pill refinement master. Lu Ping was practicing the North Sea Wave Listening Technique again. He needed a large amount of pills to speed up the conversion and condensation of his arcane energy.
After everyone knew the reason, they no longer tried to stop Lu Ping from bidding. In the end, the Green Miracle Pills were won by Lu Ping for 9,400 spirit stones.
Lu Ping placed an interspatial pouch filled with spirit stones on the teleportation platform. Not long after the interspatial pouch disappeared, five exquisite jade bottles appeared on the teleportation platform. Lu Ping picked up the jade bottles, opened them, and admired the green medicinal pellets inside. His face lit up with joy.
After the Green Miracle Pills, the mid-stage and late-stage Blood Condensation Realm cultivation pills were auctioned. When the crowd heard the bids going up to 10,000 spirit stones, they no longer felt that it was extravagant for Lu Ping to spend 9,000 spirit stones on the pills.
At this moment, Manager Jia's smile suddenly disappeared. He said solemnly, "Everyone, as we all know, Blood Condensation cultivators need to replenish their bloodline before they can break through the bottleneck of the middle and late stages of the Blood Condensation Realm. Therefore, every cultivator needs to find a bloodline that is compatible with their foundation bloodline and the cultivation technique they are cultivating …"
