Walking out of Tianbao Hall, Miao Yunjuan was still a little worried, "Junior Brother, I heard it's very hard to fuse with a high-grade mystic class spirit beast. If you're not careful, your body will be burned by the spirit fire and your flesh will be corroded by the spirit water. You must be careful!"
Qin Di smiled and comforted her, "It's okay, Senior Sister. Didn't you say I'm a monster? I'm a monster! "
Miao Yunjuan felt a little uneasy, but she couldn't pour cold water on Qin Di. She could only ask, "Junior Brother, there's an auction later. Do you still want to go? Or you can go take a look. If there are other spirit items that are suitable, we can return that pair to Tianbao Hall. "
Qin Di said, "Okay, let's go and broaden our horizons."
Then, the two sat for a while in a spirit food shop on the street. They ordered a Kung Pao Spirit Chicken, Sizzling Spirit Beef, and a few vegetarian dishes. They chatted and ate slowly.
When they came out of the shop, the sky was already dark.
Miao Yunjuan led him to a square hall that was tens of feet away from the long street. She said, "The auction is here. If you want to hide your identity, put on a mask when you go in. If you don't want to hide your identity, you can go in like this. It's ten spirit stones to enter. "
There were already a lot of people at the entrance of the hall. They formed a line. Nhat Hanh walked in.
Qin Di followed the crowd through the door, handed over 20 spirit stones, and received a fluorescent number plate. Then, she put on a black mask, leaving only her eyes and mouth exposed.
Miao Yunjuan didn't want to cause trouble, so she followed behind Qin Di and put on the mask.
The lights inside were dim, but it was very spacious. There were thousands of seats. The left and right sides were separated, forming a half-closed space.
In the huge palace, there were only two red candles as thick as an arm on the table at the front. It was hard to see the faces of the people sitting at the back. They could only see the fluorescent number tags in their hands.
Qin Di didn't know what material the tag was made of, but it wasn't the liquid crystal screen from his previous life. It was probably similar to the warm jade on the back of his identity card.
Not long after, the hall was filled with people, and the host also walked out. He was an old man with a dignified appearance, and his voice was very loud and clear: "Welcome everyone! This auction will be hosted by me. Let me explain the rules first. If you see a treasure that you like and want to bid for it, you have to raise the number plate in your hand. Someone will record your number, and the final sum will be calculated at the end of the auction. If someone raises the number plate but doesn't pay the spirit stones, according to the rules, one of their hands will be chopped off and they will be hung on the street for three days. "
It was very quiet down there. Only a few people sitting in front who didn't wear headgear said, "Got it, Old Tie. How many times have I said it? You can start now. "
The old man's voice was like a great bell as he said, "Let's start with an appetizer to refresh everyone's spirit! Our first auction item today is a fifth-order, sixth-order demonic beast that was brought back from Bright Dawn Island by a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator. Aside from its inner core, everything else is well preserved. This is a Saber-Toothed Demonic Tiger. Its tiger bones, tiger penis, and tiger meat are all very valuable. Everyone is familiar with these, so I won't say much. Let's start with a starting price of 100,000 low-grade spirit stones! Let's start now! "
As soon as he finished speaking, many people raised their number plates.
"200,000!" "300,000!" "500,000!" "700,000!"
"800,000! Are there any higher ones? "
"Good, someone raised their number plate again! Eight hundred and fifty thousand! Is there anyone else? That's it? Then let's sell it at 850,000! "
Qin Di thought: "This time, it's obviously a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage or above! How could a normal disciple have so many spirit stones! A fifth-order demonic beast is already so expensive, it's equivalent to eighty-five high-grade spirit stones! Last time, I got eight thousand and eight hundred high-grade spirit stones, minus the twenty percent I gave to Miao Yunjuan and the two thousand high-grade defensive array. Although the Spirit Gathering Array was a gift from the Jindan Martial Grand Uncle and I didn't spend any money on it, I just spent another eight hundred high-grade spirit stones to buy a mystic high-grade spirit item. I only have four thousand high-grade spirit stones left, not even enough to buy fifty demonic beasts! Looks like I really don't have enough money to spend. If I have the chance, I'll have to earn more. If this goes on, I'll soon become a poor man.
The auction continued. Other than the first item, which was particularly eye-catching, the following items weren't too expensive. Most of them were spirit talismans, spirit swords, magic tools, formation plates, and all kinds of so-called godly martial arts manuals used by late and peak Qi Refining disciples. None of them were worth more than ten thousand low-grade spirit stones. Even so, half of them were still unsold.
For a normal disciple, ten thousand spirit stones was already a sky-high price.
Perfected cultivators were like bears seeing honey when they saw spirit stones. They couldn't wait to use them and couldn't even endure a night. Moreover, every step of cultivation required spirit stones. Entering the library, buying magic tools, fusing spirit items, buying spirit grains, and so on, spirit stones were never enough. How could they save up! Otherwise, why would Yang Yunsong only have a few pitiful spirit stones left!
But those who came to the auction were obviously rich people. Most of them wore masks, so it was hard to tell their ages. But judging from the few who didn't wear masks, most of them were old. Of course, there were also some promising young people.
Think about it, peak Qi Refining and peak Qi Refining were already considered lucky. If they had the heart, they could save up for a few decades and still have a lot of spirit stones.
Besides, the cultivation world had always been like this. Honest people were dirt poor, but it didn't stop a few people from making a name for themselves. Some people were lucky enough to pick up rare treasures and become rich. Some people were strong enough to go to the outer islands and kill a few outer sect disciples, and they would have everything they wanted. Of course, it didn't exclude the fact that some immortal children were given a lot of spirit stones by their elders.
Qin Di looked around for a long time, but he didn't see any spirit items. He didn't want to buy anything else at this time. Because his cultivation was too low, he stayed on Scarlet Flame Island every day and didn't go out. He didn't need to fight with others, so he didn't need these things. When he reached the late stage of Qi Refining and needed to go to the outer islands to train, he would have to buy a set of good equipment.
Just as he was looking, the old man in charge of the auction at the front desk suddenly said, "I have a flying spirit artifact here. I bought it from the Immortal Artifact Sect of the Iron Plow Continent. It's not an ordinary flying spirit artifact, but a high-grade spirit artifact among fourth grade spirit artifacts. Its flying speed is extremely fast, comparable to a middle stage Golden Core cultivator flying through the air. If everyone here can get this flying boat, you won't have to worry about being chased by your enemies when you go to the outer islands! "
