To be honest, thirty thousand Spirit Stones for a Grade 6 centipede was not expensive. Wang Changsheng could use the centipede to cultivate. After cultivating, its soul could be used to refine a Beast Soul Talisman. Its body could also be sold for a sum of Spirit Stones.
When Wang Changsheng returned to his seat, four burly young men carried a square iron cage onto the stage. Inside the cage was a black scorpion that was fifty to sixty feet in size. On its back was a pattern of a ghost face. It looked very ferocious and terrifying.
"The next auction item is a Grade 6 Ghost Faced Scorpion. The starting price is five thousand Spirit Stones. Each increment is five hundred Spirit Stones. The bidding starts now." The middle-aged man pointed at the iron cage and said.
"Twenty thousand." As soon as the voice fell, Wang Changsheng signaled the green-dressed woman next to him to make a bid.
"Twenty-five thousand." A cultivator wearing a cloak opened his mouth. From his voice, it was obvious that he was a man.
"Thirty thousand." Wang Changsheng was unmoved and personally made a bid.
"Thirty-five thousand." The man's tone was very firm, as if he was determined to win.
When he saw this, Immortal Wang frowned. He shouted, "Forty thousand."
"Forty-five thousand." The man decisively added five thousand Spirit Stones.
"Forty-six thousand." Wang Changsheng added one thousand Spirit Stones.
"Fifty thousand."
Hearing this, Wang Changsheng shook his head and did not continue to increase the price. This price was already beyond his bottom line. Although Grade 6 Poison Scorpions were rare, he should be able to buy them if he went to a few large markets.
The middle-aged man on the stage shouted three times in a row. After no more bids, the owner of the Grade 6 Poison Scorpion was determined.
When the person who bid for the Grade 6 Poison Scorpion came onto the stage, Wang Changsheng discovered that the other party was a fatty. En, a very fat fatty. His waist was as thick as a water tank, but he walked quite fast.
Next, several Grade 6 poisonous insects were auctioned off. Each of them was sold at a high price.
"The next auction item is a two-thousand-year-old Rotten Bone Flower. This flower is the main ingredient for refining the Poisonous Dragon Pill. Fellow Daoists, don't miss it! The base price is 5,000 Spirit Stones, and each increment must be at least 1,000 Spirit Stones, "the middle-aged man said in a tempting tone.
After saying that, he flipped his palm, and a green wooden box that was a foot long appeared in his hand. After opening it, a foot long flower with blue petals appeared.
"Thirty thousand." As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, someone made a bid.
When Wang Changsheng heard this, he was slightly stunned. The voice actually came from his left.
He turned his head to the left and saw a woman in a black robe sitting on a chair. She wore a cloak that covered her face, but it couldn't hide her graceful figure.
As if sensing Wang Changsheng's gaze, the woman turned her head and swept a glance at Wang Changsheng before quickly turning back.
"Thirty thousand Spirit Stones going once. Is there a higher bid?" The middle-aged man on the high platform shouted.
"Thirty-two thousand." A deep male voice sounded.
"Forty thousand." The girl in the green dress beside the woman shouted.
"Forty-two thousand." The man's voice sounded again.
"Fifty thousand."
A trace of surprise flashed through Wang Changsheng's eyes when he heard the bid of fifty thousand Spirit Stones. This price was the highest bid since the beginning of the auction. He subconsciously looked at the woman on the left.
Many people turned their heads to look at the black-robed woman beside Wang Changsheng after hearing this. But, they quickly turned their heads again.
To be honest, fifty thousand Spirit Stones to buy a two-thousand-year-old herb was a bit extravagant. An ordinary person couldn't afford it.
The middle-aged man on the high platform asked three times in a row, but no one responded. So, the two-thousand-year-old herb went to the black-robed woman.
The black-robed woman returned to her seat. Then, four burly men carried a big black iron cage onto the high platform. There was a fifty or sixty feet big and twenty feet tall toad in the cage.
The surface of the toad was colorful with three different colors. Its back was full of watermelon-sized bumps. A silver charm was stuck on its body. It was lazily lying in the cage.
"Next is the time for the finale of this auction. The first item is a seventh-grade three-colored toad. The starting price is ten thousand Spirit Stones. Each increment must be no less than three thousand Spirit Stones. The bidding starts now." The middle-aged man pointed at the giant toad and introduced.
"Old Man bids thirty thousand Spirit Stones." A green-robed old man with a red face stood up and shouted.
"Humph, you want to buy a seventh-grade poisonous insect with thirty thousand Spirit Stones? I bid fifty thousand." Listening to the voice, it seemed to be the fat man who had bid against Wang Changsheng for the sixth-grade poisonous scorpion.
"I was wondering who it was! So it's the Five Poison Sect's Fatal Double Fiend. I bid sixty thousand. "The green-robed old man said with some dissatisfaction. He seemed to know the fat man.
"What? Old Feng, you can come but I can't? Sixty-five thousand. "The fat man's voice was full of disdain.
"Five Poison Sect?" Hearing this, Wang Changsheng's expression changed. He looked in the direction of the fat man's voice. With a sweep of his spiritual sense, he discovered that the fat man was only at the middle Core Formation stage. This made him somewhat tempted. However, after hearing the green-robed old man's words, the fat man seemed to be difficult to deal with.
"Humph, I bid seventy thousand." The green-robed old man was unmoved and added five thousand Spirit Stones.
"Eighty thousand." The fat man had a determined expression.
"Eighty-five thousand Spirit Stones."
"Ninety thousand."
Hearing the bid of ten thousand Spirit Stones, the green-robed old man frowned. After a moment of hesitation, he shook his head and gave up on bidding.
"This fellow daoist has bid 90,000 spirit stones. Are there any higher bids? If there aren't any higher bids, this grade-seven tricolor toad will belong to this fellow daoist," the middle-aged man on the platform said excitedly.
"Ninety thousand going once."
"Ninety thousand going twice."
"Ninety thousand going thrice …"
"One hundred thousand." The crisp voice of a woman sounded.
As soon as the voice fell, everyone in the auction hall looked in the direction of the voice. They discovered that the person who spoke was merely a maid in a green dress. Beside the maid was a black-robed woman wearing a cloak.
Hearing the bid of one hundred thousand Spirit Stones, Wang Changsheng raised his eyebrows. The person who made the bid was actually the black-robed woman beside him. Previously, this woman had bid fifty thousand Spirit Stones for a two-thousand-year-old spiritual medicine. Now, she was bidding one hundred thousand Spirit Stones for a seventh-grade poisonous insect. This made him interested in this woman's identity.
Could it be that she was a disciple of a large Immortal Cultivation clan or sect? However, it didn't seem like it. The black-robed woman was alone and wore a cloak to cover her face. It was obvious that she didn't want to be recognized. If she was a disciple of a large Immortal Cultivation clan or sect, there was no need for her to be so secretive.
"One hundred thousand Spirit Stones. This fairy has bid one hundred thousand Spirit Stones. Is there any higher bids?" The middle-aged man on the high platform was stunned at first, but he quickly reacted and spoke with ecstasy on his face.
The Core Formation cultivators present weren't fools. One hundred thousand Spirit Stones was enough to buy an ordinary magic weapon. It was far too extravagant to spend one hundred thousand Spirit Stones on a seventh-grade poisonous insect.
"One hundred thousand Spirit Stones going once. One hundred thousand Spirit Stones going twice. One hundred thousand Spirit Stones going thrice. Sold. This seventh-grade Tricolor Toad belongs to this fairy. After you pay the Spirit Stones, you can take this seventh-grade demonic insect home," the middle-aged man said with a smile.
The black-robed woman quickly walked onto the high platform. The middle-aged man's ears twitched. After wrinkling his brows, he nodded and slightly moved his lips a few times.
"This fairy doesn't have that many Spirit Stones on her. She wants to take out two items for auction. Fellow Daoists who think they are suitable can bid for them!" The middle-aged man pondered for a moment before opening his mouth.
The black-robed woman flipped her lily-white hand and a fist-sized yellow crystal stone and an azure talisman appeared in her hand. The azure talisman emitted astonishing spiritual Qi fluctuations.
"One piece of Jade Emperor Stone. It is a first-rate material for refining defensive magic weapons. Fifty thousand Spirit Stones. The other is a high-grade talisman, Wind Shadow Talisman. It can move like the wind within a thousand feet without a trace. Ten thousand Spirit Stones." An extremely sharp voice sounded from within the cloak, causing those who heard it to feel very uncomfortable.
"What? Jade Emperor Stone? " Just as the voice fell, a figure flashed and appeared on the high platform. It was a purple-robed old woman holding a snake-headed walking stick. Her turbid eyes were filled with a fiery light.
"This old woman offers forty thousand Spirit Stones for this Jade Emperor Stone. What do you think?" The purple-robed old woman narrowed her eyes and said with a smile.
"No. Fifty thousand Spirit Stones." The black-robed woman shook her head.
"Your Jade Emperor Stone is too small. At most forty-five thousand Spirit Stones." The purple-robed old woman bargained.
Hearing this, the black-robed woman turned her head to look at the other Core Formation Stage cultivators, but no one made a bid.
"Forty-five thousand is too little. Add another thousand Spirit Stones." Seeing this, the black-robed woman pondered for a moment and said.
"Deal." The purple-robed old woman nodded in agreement. After she finished speaking, she immediately took out a heavy storage bag from her arms and poured it on the ground. A pile of multicolored mid-grade Spirit Stones scattered on the ground.
The black-robed woman swept with her spiritual sense. After confirming that there were no mistakes, she handed the Jade Emperor Stone to the purple-robed old woman. The latter took the Jade Emperor Stone and left the cave with a smile.
"If the Old Man remembers correctly, the Wind Shadow Talisman is a one-time consumable item! Moreover, it is an auxiliary type. Ten thousand Spirit Stones is too expensive. Five thousand is more like it. "The green-robed old man rolled his eyes and said.
Hearing this, the black-robed woman pondered for a moment. She flipped her hand and took out a white jade slip. She said, "This jade slip records several kinds of advanced talisman drawing methods. This jade slip and the Wind Shadow Talisman are worth ten thousand Spirit Stones. How about it?"
Hearing this, the green-robed old man's face was a little moved. Before he had time to answer, a man's voice suddenly sounded.
"I bid twenty thousand."
The one who spoke was Wang Changsheng. Because of the cloak covering his face, others couldn't see his face.
Wang Changsheng was obsessed with talisman techniques. In his opinion, as long as it was related to talisman, it was worth it no matter how expensive it was. A jade slip with several kinds of advanced talisman drawing methods was worth twenty thousand Spirit Stones.
"What do you mean by this?" The green-robed old man saw this and frowned. He said with some displeasure.
"Nothing. It is a normal auction. The highest bidder wins." Wang Changsheng said lightly.
The green-robed old man thought for a moment and shook his head.
