Manager Jia's calm and collected speech attracted the attention of most of the cultivators present. He continued, "... There are generally three ways to replenish one's bloodline. The first way is to purchase a bloodline of the same attribute from a cultivator of the same level, which was expelled during the Hemolysis Process. However, it takes a lot of time and transcendence energy to replenish the transcendence energy within the bloodline. The second way is to concoct a Barrier Breaking Pill from a cultivator of the same attribute with various rare spirit herbs. This way, the recovery time of the bloodline will be greatly reduced. The third way is the most convenient and most effective. It is to directly obtain a Hemolytic Bead from a cultivator of the same attribute and fuse it with the transcendence energy within the bloodline. However, this method is the most difficult to achieve. Not only does it require a life-and-death battle between the cultivator and the demonic beast, both cultivators and demonic beasts will shatter the space in their cores before they die, causing the Condensed Blood Pearl to collapse. Therefore, obtaining a Condensed Blood Pearl is extremely difficult. Furthermore, the Condensed Blood Pearl must be of the same attribute as the cultivator. "
Manager Jia saw that everyone was listening to him attentively. His tone changed and he continued, "However, even though it is extremely difficult to obtain a Condensed Blood Pearl, we have managed to obtain several Condensed Blood Pearls of different attributes and cultivation levels through various channels. Fellow Daoists, please take a look and bid for them!"
Amidst the gasps of the cultivators in the auction hall, a young female cultivator brought a brocade box to the hands of the auctioneer. When the box was opened, three Condensed Blood Pearls the size of soybeans could be seen. Manager Jia said, "Three Condensed Blood Pearls of the Peng bloodline, suitable for cultivators of the Third Layer of the Blood Condensation Realm who have Peng bloodlines of wind, water, or dual attributes to break through to the early stage of the Blood Condensation Realm. The starting price is 15,000 spirit stones. Each increment must be no less than 500 spirit stones.
Everyone, please place your bids! "Just as Manager Jia finished speaking, the cultivators in the auction hall began to shout out their bids.
"16,000 spirit stones!"
"17,000 spirit stones!"
"18,000 spirit stones, I'll take it!"
"… …"
These three Condensed Blood Beads were the Condensed Blood Beads that Lu Ping had entrusted the Multi-Treasure Pavilion to auction off from Qiao Xipeng. Lu Ping didn't expect an Early Blood Refining Realm Condensed Blood Bead to drive the cultivators into such a frenzy. He stared blankly at the auction.
Shi Lingling and the others, on the other hand, were admiring the bids and the red-faced expressions of the cultivators in the auction hall. For them, the most important thing in this auction was to increase their knowledge, not to participate in the auction. Even with their financial resources, they could not participate in it.
Take Hu Lili for example. In terms of knowledge, no one in the private room could compare to her. But when it came to real treasures and spirit materials, Hu Lili's knowledge came from jade scrolls and books, while Lu Ping's knowledge came from the real thing. Thus, even though Hu Lili already knew the items in the auction hall, she still couldn't take her eyes off them. On the other hand, Lu Ping had long lost interest in the auction hall.
In the end, the three Condensed Blood Pearls were won by a cultivator in a private room for 21,000 spirit stones. Half an hour later, the transportation platform in Room 19 flashed, and a bag of spirit stones appeared on it. Lu Ping took the bag and looked at it. Then, he nonchalantly transferred the spirit stones inside into his storage ring.
The auction continued. Two more Condensed Blood Pearls were auctioned off. The first was for two Fourth Layer Condensed Blood Pearls, which were even more ideal for breaking through to the Mid Blood Condensation Realm than Third Layer Condensed Blood Pearls. They were sold for a high price of 28,000 spirit stones. The second auction was for six Sixth Layer Condensed Blood Pearls. They were sold to a cultivator in the first private room for a whopping price of 66,000 spirit stones. This made Shi Lingling and the others exclaim in admiration.
Manager Jia of the Bountiful Treasures Pavilion inadvertently revealed to the crowd that some of the Condensed Blood Pearls came from the demon territory after the sea restrictions were lifted. This caused a huge commotion among the cultivators. Lu Ping and the others could already imagine that after the auction, the number of cultivators entering the demon territory would reach a new peak.
As expected, the following items in the auction were all specialties from the demon territory. Large quantities of high-quality skin, tendons, bones, meat, and blood from Mid and Late Blood Condensation Realm demonic beasts were auctioned off. The unique spirit herbs, spirit materials, and spirit ores from the demon territory also shocked the cultivators. Under Manager Jia's instigation, the demon territory had become a paradise for cultivators to strike it rich. They selectively ignored the dangers of the demon territory.
"Fellow Daoists, the next auction item is a high-grade defensive magic artifact." As the manager spoke, he took a light blue shield from the hands of a young female cultivator beside him. He then introduced, "This Water Repellent Shield was refined using the Condensed Blood Bead of a demon beast in the sea and the high-grade water attribute spirit material, Glazed Crystal Iron. It's a rare high-quality high-grade defensive magic tool, and it can give the cultivator using it a true sense of security …"
Lu Ping ignored Manager Jia's incessant introduction and asked Chen Lian directly, "What do you think of this magic artifact?"
When Chen Lian heard Lu Ping's question, he knew that Lu Ping lacked a defensive magic artifact. After listening to Manager Jia's introduction, he was probably tempted. Chen Lian carefully looked at the Water Repellent Shield in Manager Jia's hands and said with a hint of regret, "This magic artifact is not bad among high-grade magic artifacts. However, due to the forging method, it will be difficult to upgrade it to a top-grade magic artifact in the future."
Lu Ping nodded and said, "It's fine if it can't be upgraded. It's just a transition anyway. With a tool refiner like you by my side, do I have to worry about not having a top-grade magic artifact in the future?"
Chen Lian hurriedly shook his head and said, "Don't. Although I know the forging method for top-grade magic artifacts, with my current Second Layer Blood Condensation Realm cultivation, it will be difficult for me to forge high-grade magic artifacts. If you want to forge a top-grade magic artifact, you should look for my old man."
Lu Ping smiled and said, "I can't use top-grade mystic instruments yet. But when I'm able to use top-grade mystic instruments, maybe you, Great Blacksmith Chen, won't be able to refine top-grade mystic instruments anymore."
Chen Lian curled his lips and said, "With your cultivation speed, I'm afraid that by the time you reach the Late Blood Condensation Realm, I'll be lucky if I can reach the Mid Blood Condensation Realm."
Chen Lian's words immediately resonated with everyone in the private room. They all criticized Lu Ping's unimaginable cultivation speed and how he left his friends far behind.
Zhong Jian said, "I don't know how you cultivate, but not only is your cultivation speed fast, your spiritual energy is also strong. You can already use high-grade magic artifacts with ease at the Third Layer of the Blood Condensation Realm. I'm afraid that we will only be able to use high-grade magic artifacts normally after we reach the Mid Blood Condensation Realm."
Everyone felt the same way. Lu Ping only smiled silently. Others didn't know that he had already changed his cultivation technique to the North Sea Wave Listening Technique. In the future, his cultivation speed would probably be greatly reduced, and he would fall behind others. Of course, Lu Ping was also confident that even if his cultivation fell behind others, his strength wouldn't decrease. Instead, it would increase by a lot.
The Water Repellent Shield started with a starting price of 5,000 spirit stones. The minimum requirement for a high-grade magic artifact was around 3,000 spirit stones. Defensive magic artifacts were naturally more expensive. However, even though the Water Repellent Shield was of good quality, it could no longer be improved. Hence, the starting price was only 5,000 spirit stones.
In the blink of an eye, the bidding price had already risen to 8,000 spirit stones. Lu Ping thought for a moment and directly called out a bid of 9,000 spirit stones.
After Lu Ping's bid came out, the bidding quieted down. When someone else called out another bid, the number of people had already decreased by more than half. Clearly, the identity of the cultivator in the private room still made the cultivators in the private room apprehensive.
"9,200 spirit stones!"
Lu Ping looked at the middle of the private room and saw a middle-aged cultivator in the Mid Blood Condensation Realm. Who else could it be other than Li Ziming!
Enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road. Lu Ping smiled silently. Hu Lili was observing Lu Ping's expression. When she saw the change in his expression, she also looked at the middle of the private room and smiled. "What a coincidence!"
Everyone asked for the reason, and Hu Lili told them about the incident between the Li Family and Lu Ping on Huang Li Island.
Yao Yong muttered, "The Li Family is considered a medium-sized dependent family in Zhenling. It's said that they have two Core Forging Realm cultivators. Junior Martial Brother, you have to be careful in the future. Don't fall into the schemes of despicable people."
Shi Lingling said disdainfully, "It's just a small Li Family. What can they do to an inner disciple of our sect? This Junior Martial Brother Li Cheng is also a little famous in the group. His cultivation speed isn't slow either. I heard that he's about to break through to the Blood Condensation Realm, but he's so narrow-minded. It's just a ranking competition. Why bother about it until now? "
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other with a bitter smile. From Shi Lingling's usual behavior, everyone could tell that her status in the sect was not simple. Moreover, she was young and inexperienced. She could ignore the Li Clan, but the others had to consider the weight of the Li Clan's two Core Forging Enlightened Masters.
Lu Ping looked at Li Ziming's expressionless bid and said calmly, "9,500 spirit stones."
Li Ziming paused for a moment, as if he was calculating something, and then hesitantly quoted a price of 9600 spirit stones. Everyone could tell from his tone that Li Ziming's price had reached the limit.
Lu Ping didn't hesitate to increase the bid by 10,000 spirit stones.
Li Ziming heaved a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders. Lu Ping frowned and saw Li Ziming turn around to look at Lu Ping's private room. Li Ziming's expression revealed a hint of joy, surprise, mockery, and even a hint of pride.
Hu Lili had been paying attention to the scene since Lu Ping and Li Ziming started fighting. She also saw Li Ziming's expression, so she turned to look at Lu Ping.
Lu Ping smiled helplessly at her. "I'm afraid we fell into his trap."
Hu Lili nodded. "It should be the Li Family's own magic tool."
Everyone quickly asked for the reason. After listening to Hu Lili's explanation, they all said it was a pity and scolded Li Ziming for being cunning. Lu Ping didn't take it to heart. This kind of method wasn't despicable. If it was his own item being auctioned, he would have raised the price several times. Profit was always like this.
After a while, Lu Ping paid the spirit stones and received the Water Repellent Shield. Chen Lian held it in his hand and inspected it. "Although the price is a bit high, the quality of this magic tool is not bad. 10,000 spirit stones is not a loss."
