After the rush to buy pills and talismans passed, Wang Daoyuan finally had time to stroll around the market.
At this time, the trend of selling goods had just begun.
In order to be able to bid for Foundation Establishment Pills, each family took out things that they were usually reluctant to sell. Loose cultivators and family disciples also began to set up street stalls in the market.
Especially those families that had lost Foundation Establishment Cultivators, they couldn't wait to dig out their family's spirit veins and sell them.
Of course, the scene was a bit exaggerated, but it was far from the time to take out the things at the bottom of the chest.
After all, the Netherworld Sect had said that ten Foundation Establishment Pills would be auctioned in a year. Now, less than a month had passed, and each force had only taken out some unimportant things. It was far from the point of selling everything.
Even so, the things being sold in the market now were not comparable to those in normal times.
For example, first rank spirit medicine and first rank spirit medicine seeds, which were absolutely impossible to see in normal times, could be seen everywhere now.
Wang Daoyuan walked out of the Pill Seal Pavilion and walked along the main road in front of the door. After walking a few steps, he was stunned by the scene in front of him. All kinds of first rank spirit medicine, magic tools, talismans, and so on were placed on the street stalls.
If it weren't for these people's different clothes, he would have suspected that he had transmigrated back to the market of his previous life. Where was the ostentation of cultivators?
Wang Daoyuan came back to his senses after a long time. His spiritual sense searched for the spiritual things he needed in the stalls.
Soon, he found two saplings in one of the stalls. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He had long wanted to plant some spirit fruits and spirit wood in the space. Unfortunately, these things could not be bought at ordinary times.
The stall was set up by a male cultivator who looked to be in his early thirties. He wore a dark robe embroidered with a pine tree.
He was very familiar with this symbol. It was the symbol of Ash Cloud Peak's Meng Family. Ash Cloud Peak was only about two thousand miles away from Jade Spring Peak. There was an ancient pine tree on the peak. The pine tree covered the sky and covered the entire peak. From a distance, it looked like a dark cloud shrouding the peak, hence the name Ash Cloud Peak.
The Meng Family was also an old family, but its history was relatively short. It only had a little more than four hundred years and had not produced any powerful figures.
When the three major sects rebelled, the Meng family was weak and didn't participate too much. After the incident, they didn't suffer too much of a blow. After the war, their development was much stronger than the Wang family.
There were two Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the Meng Family who had participated in the war between the three sects. The patriarch of the Meng Family had died in battle, leaving behind a Grand Elder who was nearly two hundred years old.
The lifespan of a Foundation Establishment cultivator was only 240 years old, but most cultivators couldn't live past the upper limit of their lifespan.
This Grand Elder could only hold on for another forty years at most, and this was under the condition that he did not engage in a fierce battle with others.
Within these forty years, if no one succeeded in reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, then the Meng Clan would very likely collapse. The best outcome would be to become a vassal of other clans.
The Netherworld Sect would auction the Foundation-Building Pill once every sixty years to win over the subordinate forces. The next auction would be held in thirty years.
If the Meng Family missed this opportunity, it was hard to say whether the family could survive until the next one. Therefore, it could be said that the Meng family was determined to win this auction.
The news of the Foundation-Building Pill being auctioned had just spread, and the Meng Family had already begun to sell Spirit Wood Saplings. These were all good things that could become a family business.
Wang Daoyuan walked to the front of the stall, and the cultivator who set up the stall greeted him warmly, "This is Daoyou, feel free to choose whatever you like."
Wang Daoyuan was wearing the standard Daoist robe of the Wang Family. After all, his ancestors had once been rich, and the Fish Dragon pattern had a very resounding reputation in Qingli County. Moreover, the Meng Family and the Wang Family were neighbors, and the two families had a very good relationship.
He pointed at the saplings and said, "Greetings to Daoyou, Meng Daoyou. To tell you the truth, I have taken a fancy to these two saplings. If I'm not mistaken, these two saplings should be Golden Silk Spirit Jujube and Fiery Sun Wood, right? "
Golden Silk Spirit Jujube was a first-tier high-grade Spirit Fruit. It had the effect of strengthening meridians and dantian. Among first-tier Spirit Fruits, it could be ranked in the top, and was very rare on the market.
The value of Fiery Sun Wood was relatively lower. This wood was not useful, and the tree trunk was hard and brittle. Its strength was not much stronger than ordinary trees, and it could not be used to refine Spirit Weapons, nor could it be used as a building material.
Its only value was to burn charcoal. The Fiery Sun Wood's firepower was mild and stable, and was very suitable for alchemy and weapon refinement novices.
Its weakness was also very obvious, the firepower was not strong enough. It was barely enough to refine first-tier high-grade Magic Weapons, but it was enough to refine first-tier Spirit Pills.
The biggest advantage of Fiery Sun Wood was that it grew very quickly. Once the seed was planted, under the condition that there was sufficient Spirit Qi, it would be able to bloom and bear seeds that year, and in five years, it could be used to burn charcoal.
To Wang Daoyuan, a novice who was just about to learn alchemy, the Fiery Sun Wood was very suitable. Furthermore, the Fiery Sun Wood grew very quickly, and with the help of the Spirit Pearl's space, it could be mass produced.
Hearing that Wang Daoyuan was interested in buying the two saplings, the Meng Family cultivator's face lit up, and said, "Daoyou has good eyesight, these two Spirit Trees are indeed Golden Silk Spirit Jujube and Fiery Sun Wood.
Since Daoyou recognizes them, I won't introduce them any further. The Golden Silk Spirit Jujube Sapling is one hundred spirit stones, and the Fiery Sun Wood Sapling is thirty spirit stones. What do you think, Daoyou? "
Wang Daoyuan chuckled, and said, "Daoyou, you're not doing this kind of business! Let's not talk about the Fiery Sun Wood; it's not rare on the market, and it costs thirty spirit stones. You're a bit greedy.
As for the Golden Silk Spirit Jujube, it can be considered a rare item. Logically speaking, one hundred spirit stones is a bargain for me. But this sapling's leaves are yellow, the plant is short, and its head is drooping. It's obviously a product that has been eliminated. Even if I get my hands on it, I might not be able to grow it. I'm afraid the price … "
"Sigh ~" The Meng Family cultivator heaved a long sigh. "Daoyou has good eyesight. However, this Golden Silk Spirit Jujube really isn't a sapling that has been eliminated. I got it by chance when I was traveling outside. It's just that the sapling has just been transplanted and hasn't been rerooted.
If it weren't for the family's current situation, I wouldn't be willing to dig it out and sell it. It's only after its roots have been moved twice in a row that it looks sickly. However, I guarantee with my integrity that there's no problem with this sapling itself. It'll definitely be able to grow. "
Wang Daoyuan also sighed, and said, "Daoyou, you don't have to be like this. In this war, my Wang Family also suffered disastrous losses. I also feel the same about what happened to the Meng Family.
Our two families can be considered old friends. Forget it, let's just follow Daoyou's price. "
The Meng Family cultivator bowed and cupped his fists, saying, "Many thanks to Daoyou."
Wang Daoyuan handed over the spirit stones and put the two saplings into his storage pouch. He then left the stall and began to search for other valuable spiritual objects.
The cultivator surnamed Meng put the spirit stones into his storage pouch and sighed ruefully, "This Daoyou is still an honest and considerate person!"
Wang Daoyuan didn't do this to help the enemy, but to increase the number of competitors for his family's Foundation-Building Pill. The Wang Family originally had more than 20,000 spirit stones, and they had more than 20,000 spirit stones in the Clear Glass Market. Adding one more, they had more than 40,000 spirit stones.
Wang Daoyuan planned to take out more than half of his spirit stones and exchange them for family contribution points.
Even if there were many families competing for the Foundation-Building Pill this time and there might be a serious premium, it was impossible for each Foundation-Building Pill to exceed 100,000 spirit stones.
It wasn't that there hadn't been fierce competition for Foundation-Building Pills in the past, and there had been a few times when the situation was more severe than this time. However, the highest record in history was only 100,000 spirit stones for one pill.
Although there was a discount for Foundation-Building Pills in this auction, after all, no one had prepared in advance. They didn't have many spirit stones saved, and the price wouldn't be too outrageous. The Wang Family still had a good chance of getting one Foundation-Building Pill.
As for getting two Foundation-Building Pills, that would be courting death. Without a Zifu Disciple overseeing the family, who would dare to do something that would make everyone jealous?
Moreover, there wasn't a half-price discount for the second Foundation-Building Pill. The Wang Family didn't have the ability to take out 100,000 spirit stones after getting one Foundation-Building Pill.
Since they had a good chance of getting one Foundation-Building Pill and couldn't get two, it was better to help a friendly force get one than to let an enemy force get it.
