Li Qingshan also heard it, but he didn't care and continued, "Seven hundred spirit stones!"
"Eight hundred spirit stones. Holy Hall. "
Li Qingshan directly said, "One thousand spirit stones."
The scene fell into a momentary silence. Even for a superior-grade spirit artifact, it was extremely rare for it to be worth more than a thousand spirit stones.
Could it be that the Sword Qi Calligraphy really had such an extraordinary ability? Everyone had the same thought, but at this moment, no one dared to make a bid. If they made a bid and really spent more than a thousand spirit stones to buy this medial-grade spirit artifact of unknown uses, then they really wouldn't be able to cry even if they wanted to.
"Is there anyone else who wants to continue bidding? If there isn't, this Sword Qi Calligraphy belongs to this fellow Daoist."
Shi Peipei's eyes turned, and her wrinkled face was full of smiles.
There was no more sound from within the thick fog. It was unknown whether it was because she felt it wasn't worth it, or because she had other plans in mind.
Shi Peipei said to Li Qingshan, "Fellow Daoist, the Sword Qi Calligraphy is yours."
A moment later, the Sword Qi Calligraphy was delivered to Li Qingshan. Li Qingshan couldn't wait to open it. The strokes on the scroll were twisted, and the sword qi was fierce. It was just that it was half the size of the Cursive Sword Calligraphy, which was why it could be considered a medial-grade spirit artifact.
It seemed that when this calligraphy was separated, it wasn't equal. The problem now was, how was he going to fuse them together?
Li Qingshan tried to take out the Cursive Sword Calligraphy and stack it with the Sword Qi Calligraphy. He shook it, but they didn't seem to have any intention of fusing, which made him slightly disappointed.
But he immediately pulled himself together. His current cultivation was too low, and it was very difficult for him to control a superior-grade spirit artifact. He couldn't refine a supreme-grade spirit artifact at all. Otherwise, the Cursive Sword Calligraphy wouldn't be as simple as just releasing sword qi.
Only when his cultivation increased and he refined both spirit artifacts at the same time would he be able to try again. ("")
Little Ann watched eagerly. Li Qingshan casually passed the Sword Qi Book to Little Ann. Li Qingshan glanced at the room shrouded in mist and muttered to himself, "Why does this person want to buy this Sword Qi Book?"
Little Ann immediately began to study the [Sword Qi Book]. He lay on the floor covered with a thick silk carpet, his left hand supporting his chin, and the fingers of his right hand forming a sword. Within an extremely small area, he moved quickly, leaving behind a series of stagnant afterimages. It looked like he was performing a sword dance, but it also looked like he was writing, but it was extremely rhythmic and beautiful.
Her comprehension of the Cursive Sword Calligraphy's sword intent had increased by another level. When he heard Li Qingshan's words, Little Ann tilted his head and said, "Perhaps he's the same as me!" He suddenly stabbed out with his finger sword dozens of times, tearing through the air and stirring up a fierce wind. The wind immediately howled in the room, causing Li Qingshan's clothes to flap in the wind.
Li Qingshan suddenly understood. Yes, this was the most likely reason. If they didn't obtain a part of it, no Qi Practitioner would be willing to risk a few hundred spirit stones.
At this time, there were a few soft knocks on the door. Li Qingshan opened the door, and Liu Ruping said, "Just Now, the Fellow Daoist who was bidding against you wants to see you."
Li Qingshan said, "Alright, I also want to see him." He became more and more certain of his speculation. If he put together a piece of the [Sword Qi Book], then the [Cursive Sword Calligraphy] would definitely be a supreme-grade spirit artifact. If he could obtain another fragment, then what would it be? A legendary spirit artifact?
Liu Ruping backed out obediently. She actually had no intentions of pestering him anymore. After leaving the room, she smiled disdainfully, but she was in no hurry to pass on the message. Instead, she turned in the direction of another room and knocked on the door.
A young man opened the door. To no surprise, it was Mu Zhicong. When he saw her enter, he directly asked, "What took you so long?"
Liu Ruping said coquettishly, "The customer who was bidding earlier wants to see this guy surnamed Niu, so he's a little late. Senior brother Mu, please don't take offense!"
Mu Zhicong did not take this matter to heart. He turned around and said, "Senior brother Song, I never thought this bastard would actually be so rich. If he sells that daemon core, he'll have two or three thousand spiritual stones on him at the very least. Senior brother, you can say that this is a blessing in disguise. The sacred hall … "
The person who sat there was actually the senior brother Song of the Pheasant's Grace mountain, Song Ming, who had been tossed out of the wall by Li Qingshan in a single move.
Liu Ruping helped him out. "That's not all. He just spent eight hundred spiritual stones to buy a high grade spiritual artifact, and he used a talisman to exchange for a few hundred spiritual stones." Originally, in the school of Miscellany, the transactions of customers were all kept a secret, or they would be severely punished.
However, she had failed to curry favor with Li Qingshan, so she became resentful. Mu Zhicong just happened to come at this time to ask about Li Qingshan, so he told her to report to him immediately as soon as she saw Li Qingshan. He promised her some benefits.
When Liu Ruping saw Li Qingshan step into the store of Miscellaneous Goods, she immediately turned around and told this to Mu Zhicong who was in another compartment. As for Mu Zhicong, he had other plans.
Song Ming sat there without moving. He glanced at Mu Zhicong and said, "You purposefully told me this information. Just what are you planning?"
Mu Zhicong walked over and patted Song Ming's shoulder. "The disciples of the three mountains are like birds of a feather. Senior brother, how can I just stand by and watch you be humiliated? I just happened to come across this thief a while ago, so I wanted to kill him and get him out of here. Unfortunately, I don't think you're this bastard's opponent, so it's even more impossible for me to defeat him with my cultivation. Now that the people of your esteemed sect are nearby, there's really no better opportunity for revenge."
Although he was smiling, killing intent flickered inside. Niu Juxia, oh Niu Juxia. Originally, we wouldn't have had to go this far, but since you're still bold enough to take Zijian away, don't blame me for being merciless. You're just a mere independent cultivator, yet you're so arrogant. Even if you don't die to my hands, you'll die somewhere else. I'll just treat it as sending you off in advance.
Song Ming clenched his fists as his face paled. After the battle, he had become renowned in the three mountains. He was often mocked by others, which was basically the greatest humiliation he had ever experienced in his life. He could not swallow this no matter what.
Now that he thought about how his enemy was nearby, his eyes reddened even more. And, the three thousand spiritual stones were enough to interest any Qi Practitioner. No matter what Mu Zhicong's scheme was, he had to try it.
In the end, he asked carefully, "Doesn't your Green Vine mountain want a piece of the pie for something so good?"
Mu Zhicong said, "Our Green Vine mountain is the host. If we work together to kill an independent cultivator before the Herb Gathering ceremony, it'll probably make everyone panic and affect the progress of the ceremony. I wouldn't dare to do that even if I were bolder. However, if it's a personal grievance, then there's nothing to say. Not to mention, will senior brother Song not give me a piece of the pie? "
Song Ming's expression changed. Suddenly, he snorted coldly and left the room. "Help me keep an eye on him!"
Mu Zhicong said, "Ruping, keep watching him. Once it's done, you'll get plenty of benefits!"
Liu Ruping stuck close to him and fawned over him. She said softly, "I knew that brute wouldn't be able to escape from your schemes!"
Mu Zhicong became impatient. He pushed her aside and made his way out.
Liu Ruping stamped her foot viciously. None of these men were good.
… …
Li Qingshan had no idea about the schemes and schemes outside. The auction had broadened his horizons. He gained a rough estimate of the value of spiritual artifacts and spiritual herbs.
However, his item had yet to be auctioned. He wanted to see just how much the daemon core was worth.
A while later, an earthen-yellow daemon core was placed on the stage.
"A seventh grade earth element daemon core. It can be used to make Earth Element pills … The starting price is a thousand spiritual stones." Shi Peipei gave a series of introductions to the functions of the daemon core. In the end, she announced the starting price Just Now. Just the starting price was even higher than regular high grade spiritual artifacts. Not only was it rarer, but it could be used in a wider range as well.
Shi Peipei looked at the few viewing boxes with the best seats at the very top. It had been extremely quiet the entire time, as if there was nothing there that could interest the people inside.
Li Qingshan pursed his lips. He considered whether he should make a few bids and add fuel to the fire. However, he discovered very soon that there was no need for that.
Finally, the first bid was heard from the few viewing boxes at the very top. "One thousand two hundred spiritual stones."
"One thousand five hundred!"
"One thousand six hundred!"
The price of the daemon core rose rapidly. The smile on Li Qingshan's face grew wider. He hugged Little Ann and rubbed her radiant face. "Haha, we're rich!"
… …
The noisy and lively venue quietened down once again. The auction had ended, and the lights on the stage dimmed.
However, Li Qingshan could still clearly "see" the remaining aura in the air. The enthusiastic atmosphere seemed to have not dissipated.
Li Qingshan was still sitting in the viewing box. He didn't leave. He was reminiscing about the bidding war Just Now.
Of course, it didn't have much to do with the daemon core. It was a supreme-grade spirit artifact in the shape of a small bottle.
The base price was three thousand five hundred spirit stones, and the base price of each bid was five hundred spirit stones. Every time the price was raised, the Qi Practitioners below the stage would blush and their hearts would race. However, the Foundation Establishment Cultivators were calm and collected, bidding in a relaxed and composed manner. From the beginning to the end, whether they won or lost, there was not a trace of anger in them.
There was absolutely no Qi Practitioner who dared to participate in such a dull bidding war. In the end, the supreme-grade spirit artifact was sold to the guest in the western room at the price of nine thousand five hundred spiritual stones.
The one who won in the end even calmly said, "You let me win!"
Li Qingshan admitted that he didn't have this kind of demeanor. It had nothing to do with breadth of mind and bearing. It was purely due to the difference in strength. He increasingly felt that whether it was a human or a demon, only after they had passed the first Heavenly Tribulation could they be considered to have truly stepped onto the path of cultivation.
It was like a child learning how to walk and talk. They could stagger towards their goals and express themselves. Previously, Qi Practitioners and demon beasts were just learning how to crawl on the ground.
Of course, the daemon core finally met Li Qingshan's expectations. Just as Shi Peipei had expected, the earth-attribute daemon core was sold for more than two thousand spiritual stones. In the end, it was sold for two thousand six hundred spiritual stones.
