Lyra Laozu managed to get the Pure Yulan Gold for two thousand and seven hundred high quality spirit stones.
Lyra Laozu threw the remaining two hundred high quality spirit stones to Lu Ping and said, "This time, I owe the boudoir a favor!"
Just now, in the three parties bidding, the boudoir of room 28 had been suppressing the Crystal Palace. However, after Lyra Laozu added two thousand high quality spirit stones, the Crystal Palace took the opportunity to suppress Zhenling. Fortunately, the boudoir seemed to have set its sights on the Crystal Palace. As long as the Crystal Palace bid a higher price, the boudoir would bid a higher price again.
Lyra Laozu immediately realized something. After the boudoir bid, she stopped bidding. The Crystal Palace had no choice but to raise the price to two thousand and three hundred spirit stones, but was suppressed by the boudoir with two thousand and four hundred spirit stones. After the boudoir raised the price to two thousand and six hundred spirit stones, the Crystal Palace seemed to have reached their limit and stopped bidding. At this time, Lyra Laozu once again called out a price of two thousand and seven hundred spirit stones. The boudoir didn't follow up either. It was obvious that she was specifically targeting the Crystal Palace.
Many of the cultivators in the auction hall were surprised that the 24th room had obtained the Yulan Gold. At this moment, quite a few cultivators had already guessed that the 28th room was the boudoir of a large sect that had recently risen in power in the Eastern Sea. The 24th room, which had always kept a low profile, was now the subject of much discussion. The cultivators who had previously guessed that the 28th room was a cultivator from the Heavenly Moon Sect began to guess that the 24th room was actually a cultivator from the Heavenly Moon Sect.
After obtaining the Pure Yulan Gold, Zhenling, who had run out of spirit stones, could be said to have completed his mission of participating in this auction ahead of time. He could only sit and watch the auction until the end.
However, the appearance of Heaven grade spirit items did not stop there. After the water-attribute Golden Essence Jade Liquid and the metal-attribute Jade Orchid's Gold Essence, the earth-attribute, wood-attribute, fire-attribute, wind-attribute, and ice-attribute Heaven grade low-grade spirit items appeared. Each of them was raised to an extremely high price. The intense competition at the scene was a feast for the eyes of the Zhen Ling Sect cultivators who had already lost the right to compete.
Among them, the appearance of the Wood Attribute Low-Grade Heaven Rank Spirit Object had caused Daoist Master Xuan Sen's eyes to be filled with greed. However, the conditions of the auction were not achievable before Zhen Ling Sect obtained the Yulan Gold Essence. Thus, Daoist Master Xuan Sen.
The Heaven class low-grade Heaven class spirit fire once again broke the record of the auction with spirit stones. The price of 60 high grade spirit stones caused the five people in the auction hall to challenge the dignity of the sixth pavilion, the Crystal Palace.
This time, the Crystal Palace finally revealed its ferocious face as the number one sect in the overseas region. After the Pure Yulan Gold, there were five Heaven class low-grade Heaven class spirit items, and the Crystal Palace alone obtained three of them. Although the boudoir repeatedly raised the price, it was suppressed by the Crystal Palace with a thunderous momentum. The starting price was 500 high grade spirit stones, which made the cultivators in the auction hall exclaim in satisfaction. It also made people once again see the domineering power of this giant sect in the cultivation world!
The remaining two spirit items were won by the Heavenly Moon Sect, which had been keeping a low profile. As for the other spirit item, no one knew which sect had won it. Although the boudoir had been very active in the auction of the seven Heaven class low-grade Heaven class spirit items and had repeatedly caused trouble for the Crystal Palace, they had not won a single spirit item.
Just when everyone thought that the auction was about to come to an end, two old men with white hair and beards suddenly appeared on the auction stage. Their inner Yuan was surging, and behind them, there seemed to be faint roars of tigers and phoenixes, which caused the entire auction hall to fall silent.
Dong Laozu bowed slightly to the two of them, as if he was very respectful to them. Tianqin Laozu's eyes shone brightly, and she said in a low voice, "Mid Dharma adepts!"
The two mid Dharma adepts took two steps forward and formed a triangle with Dong Laozu, surrounding the jade table in front of Dong Laozu.
While everyone was still a little confused, the small teleportation portal on the jade table suddenly flashed with light. Just when most of the adepts had not clearly seen what was being teleported in through the light, Dong Laozu had already grabbed a jade essence bottle in his hand.
This jade essence bottle had been refined by an expert into a transparent color, and there was only a drop of water the size of a third of a fist spinning nimbly inside.
Just when many of the adepts in the auction hall were looking at the drop of unknown liquid in the jade essence bottle in confusion, a green light suddenly flashed in the eyes of Lu Ping, who was sitting in the pavilion. A strange color flashed across Lu Ping's face.
The strange look on Lu Ping's face did not escape Tianqin Laozu's attention. Tianqin Laozu smiled slightly and asked, "Disciple Lu, do you recognize this item?"
Lu Ping did not expect Tianqin Laozu to ask such a question in such a friendly manner, and everyone else in the pavilion also had a strange look on their faces.
Lu Ping was stunned for a moment, then he shook his head and answered, "I have not seen this item before, but I have seen a similar description in the jade scroll that Elder Fornax had hidden. It seems that this item is the famous Thousand Dew of Wonder, but it looks like there is too little of it."
Tianqin Laozu nodded slightly and said, "Disciple Lu's view coincides with mine. It seems that there is an eighty percent chance that it is this item. However, the Thousand Dew of Wonder is different from other World Treasures. It can only be used to refine a Gold Core, and it must reach a certain amount. However, every drop of this item is extremely precious. Although it is not enough to refine a Gold Core, just drinking it can increase one's lifespan by ten years. If it is in the hands of a great Alchemist, it can easily refine a twenty or even thirty year Longevity Pill."
Not only had Lu Ping seen the Thousand Dew of Wonder, but he also had a portion and a half in his hands. He was also well aware of the information that Tianqin Laozu had told him. However, the Thousand Dew of Wonder was too important. Lu Ping could feel that the entire Cultivation World, at least the North Sea and the East Sea, seemed to be secretly eyeing the Thousand Dew of Wonder as well as the Spirit Forging Pill refined from it. This kind of secret treasure was naturally the safest to only be known by himself.
After listening to Tianqin Laozu, Lu Ping did not have time to think about why Tianqin Laozu's attitude towards him had suddenly changed. He quickly said, "Disciple understands."
Tianqin Laozu nodded with satisfaction, seemingly quite pleased with Lu Ping's attitude. She no longer spoke and instead listened to Dong Laozu's introduction in the auction venue.
The appearance of the Thousand Dew of Wonder naturally caused the auction to reach its climax near the end. Although there was only one drop, it still found everyone in the auction venue fighting for it. Of the forty pavilions, except for the twenty-fourth pavilion where Zhenling was located, almost all of them participated in the competition for the Thousand Dew of Wonder.
In the end, the Crystal Palace raised the bidding price to forty top grade spirit stones in one fell swoop, shaking off the majority of the participating sects and cultivators in one fell swoop. The Boudoir Pavilion, the Yuwen Clan, and the Green Sea Snake Chu Clan began competing.
In the blink of an eye, the bidding price broke through the barrier of fifty top grade spirit stones, greatly surprising Zhenling and the others. It must be known that the Magnificent Golden Jade Liquid, a low-grade Heaven Step spiritual treasure, was only sold for fifty top grade spirit stones before it was taken by Kong Ji Laozu. Although the Thousand Dew of Wonder was a mid-grade Heaven Step spiritual treasure and had many wonderful uses, it was still inconceivable for a single drop to be sold at such a high price.
The Yuwen Clan and the Green Sea Snake Clan withdrew their bids one after another, leaving only the Boudoir Pavilion in the twenty-eighth pavilion still competing with the Crystal Palace.
Lyra Laozu looked pensive. Suddenly, she turned to Daoist Xuan Sen and asked, "Junior Martial Brother, you said that when the Crystal Palace's Yuan Guang was in the North Sea persuading the sects to unite against the Demon Race, he told Xuan Ling Sect about the various precious spiritual herbs needed to refine the Spirit-Forging Pill?"
Enlightened Master Xuan Sen knew what Ancestor Sky Qin was thinking about, so he quickly said, "That's right. Not only Xuan Ling Sect, but even my sect, Shui Yan Pavilion, and Ocean Flame Sect have also obtained the names of these precious spiritual herbs."
Lyra Laozu's eyes lit up and said, "But in the end, Crystal Palace only chose Xuan Ling Sect as their partner?"
Daoist Xuan Sen hesitated for a moment and said, "Senior Martial Sister, you mean that Xuan Ling Sect has a part of the secret of refining the Spirit-Forging Pill, which made the Crystal Palace choose Xuan Ling Sect in the end? But this conclusion is a little too narrow. How could the Crystal Palace choose their representative in the North Sea cultivation world just because of a pill recipe? "
Lyra Laozu smiled but didn't continue the conversation.
At this moment, Yuan Guang Laozu's furious voice suddenly came from the auction house, "Xiao Yuhuan, don't think that I don't know that the person inside is you. I, Yuan Guang, will now bid 60 top-grade spiritual stones. If your boudoir really wants this drop of Wonder Jade Nectar, as long as you can offer one low-grade spiritual stone higher than 60 top-grade spiritual stones, the Old Man doesn't have to give up this item!"
Hearing Yuan Guang Laozu say Xiao Yuhuan's name, Lyra Laozu's expression suddenly changed, as if she was saying, "No wonder, so it's her!"
When Lu Ping looked over, he saw that when the Crystal Palace was bidding for this drop of Wonder Jade Nectar, the boudoir had been playing the role of raising the price. It was as if they knew that the Crystal Palace would definitely win this drop of Wonder Jade Nectar, and they kept raising the price to provoke the Crystal Palace.
Yuan Guang Laozu finally couldn't bear it anymore. Many cultivators in the auction venue then confirmed that the boudoir in Room 28 was actually the boudoir of a newly rising sect in the North Sea. After a long time, a female voice sounded from Room 28. She giggled and said, "Fellow Yuan Guang is too impatient. The Wonder Jade Nectar's rarity is comparable to a Heaven Rank Upper Grade spiritual object, and its magical value is really no less than a Heaven Rank Upper Grade spiritual object. My boudoir naturally participated in the auction with the intention of buying this item."
Finally, Yuan Guang Laozu couldn't bear it any longer. Many cultivators in the auction venue confirmed that the boudoir in Room 28 was actually the boudoir of a newly rising sect in the North Sea. After a long time, a woman's voice sounded out from Room 28. She giggled and said, "Fellow daoist Yuan Guang is too impatient. The Wonder Jade Nectar's rarity is comparable to a high-grade heaven-step spiritual object, and its value is also no less than a high-grade heaven-step spiritual object. My boudoir naturally has the intention of buying this item."
Ancestor Origin Light finally took the drop of Myriad Wonder Jade Nectar in his hand. Just as Ancestor Dong was about to announce the end of the auction, Xiao Yuhuan suddenly said, "However, there is one thing that this little sister must remind Fellow Daoist Origin Light and everyone present. My boudoir has already decided to establish a sect on Carefree Island one year from now. At the same time, my boudoir will also change its name to Carefree Faction. I ask that everyone spread this news throughout the entire cultivation world during this auction. One year from now, my Carefree Faction will be waiting for you at the Carefree Saber."
The grand Fantasy City Grand Auction continued for three days before finally coming to an end. The many cultivators in the auction venue also began to leave. The oil lamps hanging outside the 40 floating pavilions in the sky began to extinguish one after another.
In the 24th pavilion, Lyra Laozu hesitated for a moment. Then, she turned to the crowd and said, "First, you can all exchange the spirit stones that the sect has yet to use in Fantasy City for spirit grasses. Afterwards, you can return to Awakening Hibernation Island. After the auction, Laozu has important matters to discuss with the various sects, so there is no need for you to wait for me."
With that, Lyra Laozu's hands pulled outwards, and a portal was pulled open in the void. Lyra Laozu stepped inside and disappeared. Sage Xuan Xu was in a very good mood after obtaining the Jade Orchid Gold. Although he owed a great deal of debt, the sect would still repay the majority of it for him. Thus, he smiled and said, "Let's go. If we delay any longer, we will attract the attention of others. We must quickly spread out the spirit stones in our hands so that we can purchase spirit grasses that are over a thousand years old in Fantasy City and bring them back to the sect."
The teleportation formation in the pavilion had already lit up. When everyone reappeared, they were already in the Fantasy Spirit Palace with many other cultivators. Lu Ping and the others exchanged glances, then mixed into the crowd and walked out of the Fantasy Spirit Palace, heading towards Fantasy City.
After leaving the Fantasy Spirit Palace, Lu Ping took out a Sound Transmission Magic Sword and said something to it. Then, the Sound Transmission Magic Sword turned into a stream of light and disappeared into Fantasy City.
Lu Ping wandered around Fantasy City for a while. Then, a stream of light streaked across the sky from the east of Fantasy City, then hovered above Lu Ping's head.
Lu Ping took the Sound Transmission Magic Sword and scanned it with his divine sense. Then, he strode towards the east of Fantasy City.
At the entrance of a spirit herb shop, Chi Lianying and Yin Xuanchu watched as Lu Ping walked over. He tossed an interspatial pouch to Lu Ping and complained, "Why is this auction going to take so long? If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have accepted your offer. I also wouldn't have had to deal with something on Soundwave Island."
Lu Ping took the storage bag and scanned it with his divine sense. Then, he stored all the thousand-year-old spirit herbs into his storage magic tool. Hearing Chi Lianying's words, he couldn't help but frown. "What's wrong? Did something happen on Soundwave Island? Do you need me to return as soon as possible?"
Chi Lianying shook his head. "From the news from the Red Eagle, it seems that someone visited Soundwave Island. The other party doesn't have any malicious intent, but the Red Eagle can't make the decision. So, they hope that I can return as soon as possible."
Lu Ping nodded and relaxed. He turned to look at Yin Xuanchu.
Yin Xuanchu said, "I also have to return to Soundwave Island to train in seclusion. After inheriting the Ice Dragon Pearl, my training has improved greatly. I'm afraid I'm already on the verge of breaking through to the fifth level of the Core Forging realm."
Lu Ping's expression lit up. "That's good. With the Ice Dragon Pearl in hand, you'll probably beat that Xuan Xuan kid this time."
At the mention of Ji Xuanchu, Yin Xuanchu's usually cold expression seemed to melt a lot. However, it was only for a moment before it froze again. He said in a low voice, "In these three days of the auction, many people from Fantasy City have arrived. These people are all in a hurry, hiding their heads and covering their tails. We don't know what they're up to. Some local cultivators from Fantasy City went to investigate, but unexpectedly angered one of them. A Core Forging cultivator was killed with a wave of his hand. The aura he released was that of a Dharma adept."
Hearing this news, Lu Ping's curiosity was piqued. He asked, "Do you know what these people's motives are? Where did they go?"
Yin Xuanchu shook his head.
"These people's training is at least at the late Core Forging realm, and there are even quite a few Dharma adepts like Laozu. If I hadn't refined the Ice Dragon Pearl and obtained a few secret techniques that allowed me to secretly investigate some things, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to find out. The cultivators of the various sects in Fantasy Spirit City had secretly sent people to investigate these mysterious cultivators who had entered Fantasy Spirit City one after another, but the people who investigated kept disappearing. In the end, they could only determine that these cultivators seemed to have left Fantasy Spirit City in the east and flew straight to the sea region east of Fantasy Spirit Island. "
"East? What is the east of the Fallen Mystery Land? Isn't that the territory of the demons? "
Yin Xuanchu shook his head and said, "On the east side of the island where the two large spirit veins are located, there seems to be an extremely perilous sea. The reputation of the Perished Secret Domain is mostly due to this perilous place.
"What do you mean?"
"When the three of us entered the Seven Star Cave Heaven, I heard that you went to the Golden Valley?"
There was no need for Lu Ping to hide this matter. He said directly, "That's right!"
"It's a hundred times more dangerous than the Golden Valley!"
Yin Xuanchu looked at Lu Ping's surprised face, but he still looked calm. He continued, "That sea and the islands in it are called the Fallen Archipelago. According to the older cultivators in Fantasy City, the Myriad Poison Sky above the Fallen Archipelago will weaken every hundreds or thousands of years. There is no pattern to this weakening. This time, it happened to coincide with the auction of Fantasy City. I'm afraid those suspicious people are heading for this dangerous place."
Lu Ping thought about what had happened in the Golden Valley and couldn't help but ask, "Is there any other saying about the Fallen Archipelago?"
Yin Xuanchu nodded and said, "That's right. Although the Great Fallen Archipelago is a place of great danger, it's also a place where treasures gather. The exotic flowers and plants there have been covered by the Myriad Poison Vault for a long time, so they're naturally very precious. However, even though the Myriad Poison Vault has weakened, the threshold to enter the Great Fallen Archipelago is still extremely high. Dharma Ancestors can naturally enter, but for Core Forging Stage cultivators, only those late Core Forging Stage cultivators who have special techniques and are not afraid of the corrosion of the poison can enter."
Lu Ping suddenly remembered that Lyra Laozu had left first after the auction. The weakening of the Myriad Poison Sky and the opening of the Fallen Archipelago were big events that all the sects who participated in the auction of Fantasy City knew about. Lyra Laozu might have left because of this.
Although Fa Xiang Laozu could enter the Fallen Archipelago, it was still very beneficial for Dharma Phase alchemists and cultivators who were proficient in poisonous cultivation methods and secret skills.
Celestial Phenomenon Laozu's strength was naturally above Lyra Laozu's, but in the Fallen Archipelago, Celestial Phenomenon Laozu's strength might not be as good as Lyra Laozu's, who was an alchemist grandmaster. This might be another reason why Celestial Phenomenon Laozu insisted that Lyra Laozu replace him to participate in the auction of Fantasy City.
