"Everyone, the next item to be auctioned is a batch of high quality spirit ores. First, I'll bring a hundred catties of refined high grade spirit material — Spirit Impassive Soil!"
Chen Lian heard about the Spirit Impassive Soil and smiled at Lu Ping, "It's our turn!"
Lu Ping laughed, and Hu Lili asked, "Where did you get the Spirit Impassive Soil? How come I don't know about it? "
Chen Lian said, "Junior Martial Brother Lu found some Spirit Impassive Soil ores, and I helped him refine it. There's quite a lot of it, so I'm planning to auction some."
Shi Lingling rolled her eyes at Lu Ping, and said, "There's quite a lot of good stuff."
Everyone else felt the same way.
Manager Jia continued to introduce, "This hundred catties of refined Spirit Impassive Soil is refined from a thousand catties of Spirit Impassive Soil ores. Through the method of refining, the person who refined it has a good foundation in tool refining. This hundred catties of refined Spirit Impassive Soil is also very pure, and it's a good material for refining high grade earth attribute defensive magic tools. The starting price is four thousand spirit stones, and each increment is no less than a hundred spirit stones. Everyone, please bid. "
Spirit Impassive Soil was a type of spirit ore commonly used to refine earth attribute defensive magic tools. The quality of defensive magic tools made from it was also quite high. Adding another hundred catties of Spirit Impassive Soil was enough to refine two high grade magic tools. Therefore, it attracted many cultivators to bid, and the price quickly rose from four thousand to seven thousand spirit stones.
At this moment, Chen Lian suddenly said, "Oh no!"
Everyone was shocked, and quickly asked what was going on.
Chen Lian smiled bitterly, "One of the cultivators bidding below is my father."
Lu Ping heard this, and looked at the red-faced elder who just bid seven thousand and two hundred spirit stones. Who else could it be but Old Chen? Coincidentally, one of the cultivators bidding against Old Chen was Li Ziming, the one who accidentally tricked Lu Ping with the Water Repellent Shield.
At this moment, Chen Lian helplessly smiled at Lu Ping, and said, "If my father knows that we earned his spirit stones, he'll definitely think of a way to get back at us."
Everyone found it funny. This time, it was a coincidence.
Lu Ping gestured for them to calm down. Next, he brought out the VIP invitation card from the Bountiful Treasures Pavilion and said a few words into it. Next, he formed a few hand seals and light flashed out from the surface of the invitation card. As everyone was wondering what Lu Ping was doing, one of the attendants from the Bountiful Treasures Pavilion walked over to Elder Chen's seat and said something. Elder Chen then cast a surprised glance at the private room where Lu Ping and the others were seated. After that, he sat down and stopped bidding.
Shi Lingling and the others all asked Lu Ping what was going on. Lu Ping held the invitation in his hand and said, "It's nothing much. This invitation can be used as a voice transmission talisman to communicate with the Bountiful Treasures Pavilion at any time during the auction. It's just a privilege of being a VIP."
But Chen Lian said, "Do you still have Spirit Ash Soil? Otherwise, I'm afraid it'll be hard to explain to my old man."
Lu Ping smiled and said, "Don't worry, I still have some."
At this time, Li Ziming's bid had already reached 7500 spirit stones. There were only a few cultivators competing with him. Lu Ping suddenly said, "I bid 7600 spirit stones."
Everyone in the private room looked at Lu Ping in surprise. Naturally, they knew that Lu Ping wanted to take revenge for Li Ziming's scheme. Zheng Jie, who hadn't spoken up until now, suddenly said, "This debt of six months can be repaid quickly!"
Hu Lili was afraid that Lu Ping would misunderstand. Niu Dazhuang scratched his head and said, "Heh, this Li guy is a good-for-nothing. He deserves to be screwed over this time."
Lu Ping turned his head and smiled at Niu Dazhuang. He continued to observe Li Ziming's bid. Li Ziming had obviously been eyeing this hundred jin of Spirit Ash Soil for a long time. He had already raised his bid to 8000 spirit stones. Chen Lian reminded, "That's about it. 8000 spirit stones should be the limit of this hundred jin of Spirit Ash Soil. Any higher and it'll scare people away."
Lu Ping pondered for a moment and agreed with Chen Lian's suggestion. At this time, Old Man Chen suddenly shouted, "8100 spirit stones!"
Chen Lian anxiously said, "What's going on? Why is this old man going at it again? Didn't I tell him not to bid?"
Lu Ping looked at Old Man Chen's indifferent face and said, "Don't worry. The old man must have discovered something. Otherwise, with his experience, why would he do something he's not sure of?"
Only then did Chen Lian calm down. He understood that his old man was above him in both experience and other aspects. Why would he do something irrational for no reason?
Sure enough, Li Ziming, who was calm at first, became slightly annoyed when he heard Old Man Chen's bid. He turned his head and glanced at Old Man Chen. Obviously, Li Ziming knew Old Man Chen, one of the top blacksmiths on Dikun Island. He knew that Old Man Chen's background was not simple. Li Ziming fiercely turned his head back and raised the bid to 8500 spirit stones.
Everyone praised the old man's skill. Lu Ping pondered for a moment and said to Chen Lian, "Old man won't be troubled by the Li Clan because of this, right?"
Chen Lian indifferently said, "Why would they? It's natural for blacksmiths to bid for blacksmithing materials. Even if they want to cause trouble, our Chen Clan will not be afraid of them! "
Lu Ping knew that Chen Lian's clan was backed by a Zhenling Core Forging Enlightened Master. Their background was probably even thicker than the Li Clan's.
Half an hour later, the 8,000 spirit stones were transferred to the private room. Chen Lian happily took out 4,000 spirit stones. Lu Ping had 100,000 spirit stones now, so 4,000 spirit stones was nothing to him. But for Early Blood Condensation Realm cultivators like Chen Lian, it was not a small fortune.
After a few spirit materials were auctioned off, Manager Jia brought out another spirit material and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the next item on display is a top-grade spirit material, Deepsea Silver Iron. This top-grade spirit material was obtained by a cultivator while exploring the outer sea. I have to say, after the sea restriction was lifted, the outer sea became a paradise for adventuring cultivators. Even a top-grade spirit material like this is often brought to the Bountiful Treasure Pavilion by cultivators to be sold. Top-grade spiritual material, Deep Sea Silver Iron. The starting price is 10,000 spirit stones, and each increment must be no less than 500 spirit stones. Please bid. "
Chen Lian suddenly said excitedly, "Little Lu, you have to get this Deep Sea Silver Iron. It will be very useful for your high-grade magic artifact, Landslide."
Lu Ping said doubtfully, "This Deep Sea Silver Iron is also a top-grade spiritual material with the same attribute as the Deep Sea Cold Iron. I already have the Deep Sea Cold Iron, so I don't need this Deep Sea Silver Iron."
Chen Lian still said excitedly, "It's not that simple. This time, Multi-Treasure Pavilion really made a mistake!"
Chen Lian, who was dancing with joy, ignored the astonishment of the people in the private room and said, "Top-grade spirit materials are also divided into grades. The so-called top-grade spirit materials are only used to refine top-grade magic tools, allowing the magic tool to have the possibility of becoming a magic treasure. And this possibility is also divided into different grades. "
Chen Lian excitedly walked back and forth in the private room, then explained to the crowd, "Generally speaking, top-grade spiritual materials can be divided into three grades. Grade 1 spiritual materials are the most common of top-grade spiritual materials, like Deep Sea Cold Iron, Deep Sea Silver Iron, and other natural minerals. Grade 2 spiritual materials are natural minerals that have been purified by external forces, and their quality has improved and mutated. For example, a thousand-year-old peach wood is only a grade 1 top-grade spiritual material. If a thousand-year-old peach wood is still able to grow after being struck by lightning, it will be a grade 2 top-grade spiritual material. After being used to forge magic artifacts, its quality will be much higher than a top-grade magic artifact made from a grade 1 spiritual material."
Hearing this, Lu Ping's heart stirred. Among the spiritual materials he had obtained in the secret room of the Refining Hall on Fei Ling Island, there was a thousand-year-old lightning-struck peach wood.
Chen Lian's explanation pulled Lu Ping back from his thoughts, "… Grade 3 spiritual materials are even more mystical. They are spiritual materials condensed from spiritual objects that have lost their spirituality and degenerated. They are the highest grade of top-grade spiritual materials, and also the best choice for forging magic artifacts. Their rarity is only below that of spiritual objects."
Shi Lingling impatiently said, "You've been talking for so long, what does it have to do with the spiritual material on the stage? Right now, the bidding price has reached nearly 20,000 spirit stones, and your father is also bidding. "
Chen Lian looked at the crowd and saw that Elder Chen was also bidding, so he breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "I'm saying all this to tell everyone that this piece of Deep Sea Cold Iron is not an ordinary grade 1 top-grade spiritual material, but a type of top-grade 2 top-grade spiritual material that has mutated due to external forces!"
Chen Lian turned to look at Lu Ping and said, "Originally, whether you use Deep Sea Cold Iron or Deep Sea Cold Iron to upgrade your 'Landslide' to a top-grade magic artifact, the difference is not too big. But if you use this kind of mutated Deep Sea Cold Iron to upgrade your 'Landslide', not only will it be more powerful, but when you advance to the Core Forging Stage in the future, it will not be difficult for you to upgrade it to a magic artifact."
Lu Ping was very tempted to hear this, but at this time, the auction was still going on. Elder Chen obviously recognized that this piece of Deep Sea Cold Iron was not an ordinary top-grade spiritual material, so he was still bidding at a moderate pace. So, Lu Ping was not in a hurry and asked, "How can you be sure that this piece of Deep Sea Cold Iron is not an ordinary Deep Sea Cold Iron, but a type of mutated Deep Sea Cold Iron?"
Chen Lian smiled proudly and said, "When my father helped Enlightened Yan Nanfei condense a magic artifact, he once saw this kind of mutated Deep Sea Cold Iron. At that time, that piece of Deep Sea Cold Iron was immersed in a kind of mysterious Spirit Water of Heaven and Earth for a long time, which caused the mutation. At that time, Enlightened Yan Nanfei also used that mysterious Spirit Water to successfully break through the Core Forging Stage and enter the Fourth Forging Stage."
Lu Ping knew that Enlightened Yan Nanfei was the person that Elder Chen saved in the past, and he was the biggest backer behind the Chen family, as well as one of the island's Enlightened Masters.
At this time, the bidding price of the Deep Sea Cold Iron had reached 30,000 spirit stones, which was already the limit of ordinary top-grade spiritual materials. At this time, Elder Chen was also looking at the bidding price and frowning. Chen Lian saw his father's expression and turned to Lu Ping and said, "It seems that there are other people in the auction hall who can recognize the value of this item. I'm afraid that my father only has so many spirit stones in his hands, if the price is higher, my father will not be able to afford it."
Lu Ping nodded and called a price that once again made everyone in the private room dumbfounded, "40,000 spirit stones!"
