Lu Ping didn't expect this flying chariot to be a symbolic Mystic Artifact for Xuan Ling Sect's low-level elite disciples. As soon as it appeared in the auction, it attracted a lot of attention. All sorts of malicious speculations about Xuan Ling Sect emerged one after another.
"I think someone must have killed a Xuan Ling Sect disciple and stolen his Mystic Artifact."
"I think so too. Didn't Xuan Ling Sect accuse our Zhenling disciple of colluding with the monster clans and killing five of their disciples? I heard that one of them was an elite disciple from a powerful family. I think he must have gotten this Mystic Artifact from there."
"Doesn't that mean Xuan Ling Sect's lies about us colluding with the monster clans are true? No, no, I think it must be a fugitive who killed someone in Xuan Ling Sect and came here to seek refuge. "
"No matter what, the auction of this flying chariot is a joyous occasion. We should take it back and show it off." The cultivator in Room 12 spoke up.
"But I'm afraid the person who auctioned this item is in trouble. Xuan Ling Sect will soon find out about this and come to investigate." This time, it was Yu Qiulan from Room 8 who spoke up.
"Let's see if the Store of Bountiful Treasures can really keep the information of the auctioneer a secret." Bai Changchun from Room 4 chimed in.
"The Store of Bountiful Treasures' reputation is unquestionable," Shi Lingling from Room 10 chimed in.
"That's right, that's right, that's right." Everyone agreed.
Manager Pang cleared his throat to stop the discussion. He smiled and said, "Everyone, there's no need to provoke me. Our Store of Bountiful Treasures' reputation is here. We will never reveal the information of the auctioneer."
"Let's continue with the auction. Hmm, this mid-sized flying chariot can carry up to nine people. It has medium speed and decent defensive capabilities. The interior is luxuriously decorated and equipped with all sorts of facilities. It's a must-have for cultivators traveling."
"The starting price is five hundred spirit stones, and each increment must be no less than twenty spirit stones."
Lu Ping himself was shocked at first, especially when someone connected it to the battle on the reef island. This was only one step away from the truth.
However, many of the Zhenling disciples suddenly began to defend the auctioneer of the mystic instrument. Even Bai Changchun and Yu Qiulan, two people who did not get along with each other, began to speak up for the auctioneer. In the end, they even deliberately forced Manager Pang to represent the Bountiful Treasures Pavilion to make a statement. This gave Lu Ping a deeper understanding of the cohesiveness of the Zhenling disciples.
Many wealthy Zhenling disciples were chasing after this mystic artifact. Zhenling was using Xuan Ling Sect's low-level elite disciple's mystic artifact for a spin, and it was a very respectable thing to do.
The bidding price rose all the way to more than 700 spirit stones. To be honest, Lu Ping did not expect this.
Previously, Lu Ping had seen Master Immortal Du's large flying mystic instrument. It could carry dozens of people, so he thought this mystic instrument was only slightly more expensive than ordinary flying mystic instruments. He did not expect the Bountiful Treasures Pavilion to raise the starting price of a high-grade mystic instrument.
In the end, it was Yu Qiulan and the cultivator from Private Room 3 who was competing. The cultivator from Private Room 3 bid 800 spirit stones.
Yu Qiulan lost his temper and scolded, "Who dares to ruin your young master's plans? Tell me your name!"
"Young Master Yu, you're so hot-tempered. Why? Is this auction hosted by your family?" The cultivator from Room 3 did not mince words and raised his voice.
"I was wondering who could be so generous. So it's Zhao Liang from the Zhao Family. I heard that your elder sister is going to marry a disciple from Xuan Ling Sect's Qiao Family. Are you here to present a gift to your new master?" Yu Qiulan said sarcastically. "What a pity, I bid 850 spirit stones."
"Hmph!" Zhao Liang knew that because of what happened to his sister, he was disliked by the other disciples.
His future brother-in-law's younger brother was killed by a demonic beast while training outside. His brother-in-law's family had always suspected that there was more to it than meets the eye.
Coincidentally, his brother-in-law's younger brother had a Flying Car in the Cloud, so Zhao Liang wanted to buy it and give it to his brother-in-law to see if it really belonged to his younger brother.
Zhao Liang did not want to be provoked by others. Now that he was recognized, he knew he could not get this mystic instrument. Otherwise, the other disciples in the private rooms would team up to compete with him, which would make him even more enemies.
However, he could not let this Yu Qiulan off easily. "I bid 900 spirit stones. Hehe, Yu Qiulan, if you bid 1,000 spirit stones, I, Zhao Liang, will withdraw from the bidding."
In fact, when Yu Qiulan bid 800 spirit stones, Zhao Liang had already decided to give up. His family was not considered a big aristocratic family in Zhenling and did not have as many spirit stones as the other disciples. This was also one of the reasons why his family was connected to Xuan Ling Sect through marriage.
Moreover, he had already spent a lot of spirit stones in the previous auction. The rest of the spirit stones needed to wait for the finale item, so he wisely withdrew.
Yu Qiulan laughed strangely. "Zhao Liang, your provocation is too clumsy, but I, Yu Qiulan, don't care about 1,000 spirit stones. This flying car is mine."
Lu Ping was a little surprised by this result. 1,000 spirit stones was not a bad income. At the same time, he saw the power of the big aristocratic families. He had to be careful of Zhao Liang's family.
Next was a batch of medicinal pills for late Blood Refining cultivation, such as Blood Toughening Pill, Blood Piercing Pill, and other medicinal pills that were more effective than Blood Essence Pill. There were also medicinal pills that Lu Ping was familiar with such as Blood Solidifying Pill and Blood Vigor Pill.
Although Lu Ping didn't lack medicinal pellets for cultivation, the more Blood Vigor Pellets he had, the better.
Unfortunately, the number of Blood Vigor Pills was limited, and the competition was fierce. Lu Ping spent nearly 750 spirit stones to buy three bottles, which was already on the high side. After all, there were too many Blood Vigor Pills and not enough meat.
Helpless, Lu Ping could only bid for six more bottles of Blood Solidifying Pill as backup, spending another 960 spirit stones.
There were also various healing pills, antidote pills, poison pills, body fixing pills, spirit sealing pills, zombie pills, invisibility pills, and so on. All of them had their own magical effects, which greatly widened Lu Ping's horizons.
Lu Ping also bought a few different kinds of medicinal pills according to his needs, spending another 1,000 spirit stones. This made Lu Ping yearn to be an alchemist even more.
In the blink of an eye, another six hours passed, and the auction was nearing its end. Manager Pang was still in high spirits, without a trace of fatigue. He stood on the stage and announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the finale item. My Multi-Treasure Pavilion has prepared a total of five items for everyone. One of them is already known as the Blood Condensing Pill, so what's the second item?"
Manager Pang kept everyone in suspense. First, he asked someone to slowly bring the items onto the stage on a tray, which attracted even more people's curiosity.
Manager Pang looked at the curious eyes of the audience and smiled. He suddenly lifted the red silk on the tray, revealing an exquisite belt with animal patterns on it.
On the buckle of the belt was an intricately carved image of a green flood dragon playing in the water, and on both sides of the belt were images of various rare birds and beasts.
The entire belt shone brightly, and the various patterns on it seemed to come to life, vivid and lifelike.
"Could this be …"
