"Thank you, fellow daoists, for attending this year's Yi Clan Auction. It is our honor to have Cloud Talisman Sect's Ancestor Yuanying, Great Cultivator Cao Guang, here." A grey-robed old man stood on the auction stage and announced loudly. After introducing Cao Guang, he added, "At the same time, I would also like to welcome all the other cultivators. The Yi Family Enterprise will definitely send all sorts of treasures to be auctioned. I hope everyone will be able to bid for the treasures they want."
After the grey-robed elder finished the formalities, he started to introduce the rules, "Everyone knows the rules of the auction, but there are new daoists here, so I'll repeat them."
When the grey-robed elder said this, he clearly looked at Ye Kong, implying that he was giving him face and that this was a special introduction.
Ye Kong did not mind. Although he had not participated in auctions on Earth, he had seen them on television. Didn't it just go to the highest bidder? So when the grey-robed elder sent him a flattering smile, Ye Kong ignored him and continued to take a big bite. Hmm, this ice berry tastes pretty good.
Sigh, I used to smoke and act cool. I didn't expect to be able to act cool by eating a fruit in Cang Nan Continent.
After introducing the rules, the grey-robed elder gestured for the shop assistant to bring a brocade box and said, "The first item of this auction is a high-grade magic artifact, the Heavenly Sword. It is made of Millennium Cold Iron and was refined by our Yi Clan's chief weapon refiner for eighty-one days. This item can be enlarged or shrunk, its power is shocking and its blade is incomparably sharp. It is the best magic artifact in the pugilistic world for self-defense and killing! "
"The starting price is one thousand spirit stones."
"One thousand one hundred."
"One thousand two hundred!"
"I'll pay two thousand!"
Ye Kong was depressed. What kind of lousy sword was this? A high-grade magic artifact? It had no additional functions and could be enlarged or shrunk? F * ck immortals, my low-grade flying sword can be enlarged or shrunk? What kind of function is this? This kind of flying sword can be sold for two thousand spirit stones? It seemed like the cultivation world had no lack of suckers.
However, there were only a few suckers. No one would raise the price beyond two thousand spirit stones.
Then, the grey-robed old man took out a green flying sword magic tool and said, "This is a high-grade magic tool, the Blood Jade Sword. It was forged from top-grade Green Jade Stone, and its strength far surpasses that of a thousand-year-old iron essence. This sword is extremely hard, and it's not a problem for it to split mountains. During the refinement, I added the inner core of a high-grade spirit beast, the fire rhinoceros, so when it is used, it will possess a powerful fire attribute attack. will be able to increase the power by at least thirty percent. "
This flying sword was much more powerful than the Heavenly Sword from before. It possessed fire-type attacks and a fire-type bonus. Therefore, when this sword was taken out, it immediately attracted many customers in black cloaks to fight over it.
However, no matter how good a magic tool was, it wasn't very attractive to a Core Formation ancestor. Cultivators above the Core Formation realm would use magic treasures. Thus, the ones fighting over the magic treasures were all low-level cultivators wearing black cloaks. Although there were many rich low-level cultivators, the Bloody Jade Sword was sold for a high price of four thousand and eight hundred spirit stones.
Considering that most middle-grade magic artifacts were only a few hundred spirit stones, Ye Kong felt that four thousand and eight hundred spirit stones was too high. Of course, even if it wasn't high, he wouldn't buy it. As an outer sect disciple of the Cloudseal Sect, a high-grade magic artifact didn't suit him. If he encountered danger, the Golden Light Hoe and the Water-Fire Gourd would be far more useful than these magic artifacts.
Next, the grey-robed elder took out a few more magic artifacts and put them up for auction. With his boastful mouth, these magic artifacts were all sold for a high price. Ye Kong couldn't help but look at Gao Yuanhang in disdain. Shameless. Unscrupulous merchants were indeed shameless. How could they cheat low-level cultivators of their spirit stones?
Like Ye Kong, the Core Formation cultivators who weren't wearing cloaks were not interested in magic artifacts. The Cloudseal Sect's people were also silent. They all looked at the stage as if they were here to watch a movie.
When the grey-robed elder took out another treasure, the Cloudseal Sect's people finally made their move.
"Purple Arrow Bamboo. High-grade spirit wood, a section of Purple Arrow Bamboo. " The grey-robed elder took out a section of thin purple bamboo from an embroidered box. This bamboo was very thin but perfectly straight. From afar, it looked like a chopstick.
"There aren't many Purple Arrow Bamboos left in the cultivation world, and thousand-year-old Purple Arrow Bamboos are even rarer. This section of Purple Arrow Bamboo was discovered by our Yi Clan's exploration team when they ventured hundreds of miles into the Wilderness. After fighting with a mutated high-grade spirit beast, we took the risk to obtain this small section. This piece of Purple Arrow Bamboo is at least 1,500 years old. It's very suitable for making talisman brushes. Of course, if you add this piece of Purple Arrow Bamboo into the refining of magic tools, it will also increase the power of the magic tools. "
"The starting price of this section of Purple Arrow Bamboo is 3,000 spirit stones. The bidding begins now."
Although Ye Kong didn't know what this Purple Arrow Bamboo was, he knew that it was truly a good item after hearing the grey-robed elder's words.
The moment the grey-robed elder announced the starting price, the Core Formation cultivators who hadn't spoken all this time immediately spoke.
"3,500!"
"4,000!"
"5,000!"
A good item was indeed a good item. The price soared in the blink of an eye. Ye Kong couldn't help but sigh. His 3,500-year-old Cloudmist Ganoderma was only selling for 6,000 spirit stones, while others were selling it for 5,000!
What made Ye Kong most envious was that this small section of Purple Arrow Bamboo was already so expensive. If the entire stalk of Purple Arrow Bamboo was brought here, how many spirit stones would it fetch?
Just as Ye Kong was silently cursing, the Cloudglyph Sect's Cao Guang finally spoke. "This Old Man is here today to buy this bamboo for my grandson to make a spiritual talisman brush, so This Old Man will not say much. The highest price is 15,000 spirit stones. If any Fellow Daoist offers a higher price, then This Old Man will immediately leave and give the bamboo to the highest bidder."
To be honest, Cao Guang's actions at the auction were a bit against the rules. Out of all the cultivators present, his cultivation was the highest, and he had brought the most people.
Now that he said that, would anyone dare to compete with him? A Yuanying Patriarch, who was also the Cloudglyph Sect's management cultivator, came here for this Purple Arrow Bamboo and to make a talisman brush for his grandson … Would anyone dare to compete? Were they tired of living?
Didn't you hear him say that he would leave immediately if he couldn't buy it? You could interpret it as him returning to the mountain without the Purple Arrow Bamboo, or he could interpret it as him bringing people outside to rob you!
As soon as he said this, it immediately quieted down. No one dared to raise the price again. It was not fun to offend a Yuanying Realm ancestor, not to mention that this Yuanying Realm ancestor was the head of a big sect.
Although the Yi Clan and others were displeased by Cao Guang's actions, they didn't say anything. After all, Sishui City was the Cloudglyph Sect's territory. Moreover, Cao Guang's price was already very fair. Even if everyone bid, the final price might not exceed 15,000 spirit stones.
Of course, Ye Kong also wanted to obtain this Purple Arrow Bamboo and place it in the Living Soil to see if it could grow into a complete stalk of Purple Arrow Bamboo quickly.
However, Ye Kong didn't have many spirit stones left. Moreover, Ye Kong couldn't think of any use for a complete stalk of Purple Arrow Bamboo. Thus, Ye Kong could only give up.
