In the attic, Zhenren Xuan Sen was quite surprised and praised, "Senior Sister, you actually upgraded the Zhong Ding Pill to the Dharma stage, and it can still be used by a Core Forging stage cultivator. This method is already comparable to Uncle Tianlu's creation of the Zhong Ding Pill that caused a sensation in the North Sea training world. That Dong Laozu's claim of being an alchemy grandmaster is really not a lie."
Lu Ping was also quite impressed by Lyra Laozu's pioneering work.
Lyra Laozu smiled and said, "These years in the East Sea, my alchemy skills have not improved much, but this little bit of achievement is still standing on Master's shoulders. Junior Brother, you are flattering me."
Just like how an alchemy grandmaster could become an alchemy grandmaster by refining a Core Forging stage elixir, refining a Dharma stage elixir could naturally also be called an alchemy grandmaster. However, a real alchemy grandmaster needed to independently create a Core Forging stage elixir to prove that they were passed down to future generations. Alchemy grandmasters often also needed to create a Dharma stage elixir to be called a real alchemy grandmaster!
The Zhong Ding Pill was originally a kind of healing elixir for a half-step to the Dharma stage. After Lyra Laozu upgraded the Zhong Ding Pill to the Dharma stage, she could barely be called an alchemy grandmaster. However, she lowered the threshold to the Core Forging stage elixir without affecting the grade of the elixir. This was even more rare and valuable, and she deserved to be called an alchemy grandmaster.
So far in the auction, Zhenling had only obtained two kinds of mid-Earth-level spiritual items and one high-Earth-level spiritual item. Among them, the Jade Flowing Goblet that Zhenren Xuan Zhu obtained could barely be regarded as a treasure comparable to a high-Earth-level spiritual item due to its uniqueness. Other than that, there was only a Dan Cauldron Treasure Restriction and Lu Ping's three Invisible Spiritual Restrictions.
The auction had already been going on for two and a half days, and as many as two hundred kinds of treasures had appeared. Among them, it was not that there were no spiritual items that Zhenling looked down upon. On the contrary, Lyra Laozu could be said to have frequently bid, but the harvest was very little. In the final analysis, it was because compared to the great sects of the Eastern Sea, Zhenling's foundation was too weak. He could only watch as suitable mid-Earth-level spiritual items were taken by other sects and cultivators.
Compared to Li Xuanru, Xuan Zhu, and Xuan Yu who had obtained suitable spiritual items, the other four seemed much more disheartened, especially Zhenren Xuan Tian. After the Flying Parasol Wood, there was originally a high-Earth-level spiritual item with a wood attribute, but the conditions of the auction were even more harsh. Lyra Laozu was also very regretful that she did not even have the chance to bid before the auction was won by the 28th pavilion.
At this time, Lyra Laozu's expression was focused on the item that Dong Laozu carefully held in his hand on the auction stage. It looked like a piece of dirt that could shatter into powder at any time.
This item was extremely familiar to Lu Ping, because he had once obtained it from an earth-attribute high-Earth-level spiritual item, the Dark Jade Stone, during the Northern Sea's Alchemist Gathering. This piece of dirt that was as soft as dirt was a piece of Growing Soil, a treasure that was comparable to a Heaven-Level spiritual item.
Last time, Lu Ping had only obtained a fist-sized piece of Growing Soil, but it was enough to completely transform the spirit herb garden that Lu Ping had opened up in the Golden House. Many precious spirit herbs were growing very well in the Golden House, and a small number of transplanted five-hundred-year-old spirit herbs had already begun to mature and be harvested. Even two Gold Nuts had matured ahead of time, and were used by Lu Ping to refine Gold Adamantine Pills.
This piece of Growing Soil was almost twice the size of the one that Lu Ping had obtained last time. However, it looked like it had been severely weathered, and was not as solid as the one that Lu Ping had obtained last time.
After Dong Laozu finished introducing the Growing Soil, he carefully placed the piece of Growing Soil on the jade table, as if he was afraid that he would break it.
Just as Dong Laozu had clearly stated the conditions and starting price of the Growing Soil, and was about to announce the start of the auction, the piece of Growing Soil that had been placed on the jade table in perfect condition suddenly disintegrated without any warning, and suddenly split into four pieces of different sizes!
This unforeseen event caused Dong Laozu to forcefully swallow back the words that he was about to say. The cultivators in the auction house were clearly shocked by this unforeseen event, and many busybodies even started to shout and boo in the auction house.
The value of a strange item like the Growing Soil, aside from its size, the most important factor was whether or not it was intact.
Although these four pieces of Growing Soil of different sizes were still the same big piece of Growing Soil when combined together, due to the disintegration, its value could no longer be compared to the previous piece of Growing Soil.
Dong Laozu's expression was uncertain, and after a moment, his expression changed, as if he had received some sort of hint. He then laughed dryly and said, "It is such a coincidence, I did not think that this kind of thing would happen to the Old Man. Since that is the case, then we might as well separate these pieces of Growing Soil and auction them separately."
In room number 24, even though Lyra Laozu coveted this piece of Growing Soil, she did not have much hope that she would be able to obtain it. However, this sudden turn of events caused many cultivators in the auction house to feel extremely regretful, but Lyra Laozu's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had seen a ray of hope.
Of the four pieces of Growing Soil, the first to be auctioned was the smallest piece. Sure enough, the disintegrated pieces of Growing Soil did not attract the attention of the people suspected to be from large sects.
Lyra Laozu decisively made a move, and used eight pieces of top quality Spirit Stones to obtain this piece of Growing Soil. Immediately after, the second piece of Growing Soil was auctioned. Lyra Laozu did not directly call out a price, but instead used a jade slip to indicate the bidding price, and then sent it through a teleportation array. This way, no one would notice that room number 24 was still participating in the auction.
The second piece of Growing Soil, which was only slightly larger, was finally won by Lyra Laozu with seven top quality Spirit Stones and five hundred top quality Spirit Stones.
The two smallest pieces of Growing Soil added together were not even a third of the entire piece of Growing Soil. However, after the third piece of Growing Soil was auctioned, Lyra Laozu decisively stopped bidding, and did not participate in the auction anymore. As expected, the price of the third and fourth pieces of Growing Soil soared, directly breaking through the 2,000 top quality Spirit Stones. The people from the previous rooms that had successfully obtained the Growing Soil repeatedly raised the price to a sky-high price, but in the end, it was won by room number 28, which had always been the strongest in the auction house, at a high price. This caused Lu Ping and the others to be dumbfounded, and at the same time, they were filled with admiration towards Lyra Laozu's previous methods.
Daoist Xuan Sen and Daoist Xuan Xu even suspected that the cultivators from the Crystal Palace were in room number 28, because since the beginning of the auction, the one who had obtained the most treasures, and had repeatedly paid the highest price, was the one who had obtained the most treasures.
The appearance of the Growing Soil seemed to be just the beginning of the perfect curtain call of this auction, and immediately afterwards, the real craziness of the auction began.
"For the Low-Grade Heaven Step Water Attribute World Spirit Treasure 'Magnificent Golden Liquid', the first condition of exchange is also a Low-Grade Heaven Step Metal Attribute Spirit Treasure 'Taibai Stone'. If you can't exchange it, then use it to exchange for some top quality Spirit Stones, and don't take out the top quality Spirit Stones as an eyesore."
The appearance of the Heaven Step Spiritual Treasure seemed to have suddenly ignited the passion of all the cultivators in the auction house. Previously, a High-Grade Earth Step Spiritual Fire 'Flame of the Sea' had appeared, and it had been auctioned for a price of thirty top quality Spirit Stones.
Admittedly, this was because World Spirit Fires were often used in the cultivation world for alchemy and refining, so its value was higher than the same grade Spiritual Treasures. But the price of thirty top quality Spirit Stones, even Lyra Laozu had to say that this price was a bit too high.
Lu Ping looked at this Flame of the Sea's Heart, and his eyes also lit up. Because this World Spirit Fire was bred in the depths of a volcano, it was contaminated with a trace of a gentle aura, and it was suitable for all the best flames for alchemy.
If Lu Ping wanted to advance to Alchemy Grandmaster, although the Eastern Purple Qi Flame was still enough for him to use, but the effect of a Mid-Grade Earth Step Spiritual Fire on alchemy was not obvious. If he wanted to be helpful to Alchemy Grandmaster, then Lu Ping had to at least find a High-Grade Earth Step Spiritual Fire.
However, the path of obtaining it from the auction house was basically closed to Lu Ping. Lu Ping had killed several enemies as spoils of war, and after a narrow escape, he was lucky enough to obtain four top quality Spirit Stones. For the current Lu Ping, thirty top quality Spirit Stones was still a height that he could not reach.
The High-Grade Earth Step Spiritual Fire of the Sea's Heart was finally auctioned by the cultivator in Room 35.
However, the moment the Low-Grade Heaven Step Spiritual Treasure appeared, this price was shattered by the surging price.
"Forty-two top quality Spirit Stones!"
In an auction of this level, unless the cultivator in the room introduced himself, Dong Laozu, who presided over the auction, would generally not disclose which room the cultivator came from. Even if everyone knew which room was bidding, it was difficult to guess which sect was in the room.
Room 28 was still fierce, and for the first time, the bidding price of this auction was raised to more than forty top quality Spirit Stones.
"The cultivator of the Crystal Palace? Sure enough, he is rich and overbearing, but this' Magnificent Golden Jade Liquid 'is also coveted by several juniors of the Old Man. Today, I have no choice but to lose money, so let's add three top quality Spirit Stones. This time, the Old Man is really bleeding a lot, and later, I will definitely get back at that old bastard. "
A helpless voice came from Room Number 11.
"Forty-eight Spirit Stones!"
The cultivator in Room 28 was still silent, but he was very determined to raise the price.
"Humph, the Crystal Palace is a big family, do you want to buy all the treasures in this auction? The Old Man does not believe in this, 50 top quality Spirit Stones!"
As this exceptionally valiant voice continued to ring out from Room 11, the entire auction hall cheered in unison. This was the highest price ever recorded for a spirit stone in this auction!
However, as the cheers faded away, the fierce voice from Room No. 11 sounded again. This time, it was in a dejected tone. "What a loss! What a loss! 50 top quality Spirit Stones, this time, the Old Man must have been extorted by those old bastards! I feel so sorry for the Old Man. The Old Man has nothing better to do, why did he shout at those bastards of the Crystal Palace! " "Haha, from the tone, it sounds like Friend Kong Ji of the Kong family, but you seem to be complaining to the wrong person!"
The voice came from Room 6, and Lyra Laozu looked surprised and said, "It is actually Yuan Guang of the Crystal Palace!"
"Which force is in Room 28? Besides the Crystal Palace, who else has the ability to bid for so many treasures?"
Immortal Xuan Xu asked the question that almost everyone in the auction venue had.
Lu Ping's attention was not on Room 28, but he murmured, "Kong Ji, surname Kong, could he be a Dharma adept of the Kun Fish clan?"
