"The next item to be auctioned is a set of array tools. The immortal array set up by it is called 'Mad Slaughter'. It belongs to the earth element. Among the immortal arrays set up by array flags, its power is considered low grade."
The auctioneer took out a jade slip and activated it with his Divine Sense. The images stored in the jade slip immediately appeared in the void.
A cultivator was trapped in the Mad Slaughter immortal formation. He saw a huge hole in the ground. Just as the cultivator wanted to fly up and dodge, a huge earth dragon flew out from the hole. The cultivator was sent flying by the earth dragon. When he took out his weapon and was about to fight it, yellow sand danced in the formation and blocked his vision. The image ended there.
"The low grade formation flag 'Mad Slaughter' will now be auctioned. The starting price is one hundred and twenty-five yellow immortal coins. Each increment must be no less than two yellow immortal coins."
The moment the auctioneer's voice fell, the sound of bids rang out.
The starting price of 'Mad Slaughter' wasn't high, but the final price wouldn't be low. Although it set up a low grade immortal formation, that was only for those set up by a formation weapon. This kind of immortal formation was usually on the strong side. Because it was set up by a formation weapon, not only could it be used repeatedly, the power of the immortal formation could also change according to the cultivator's cultivation.
For example, Mad Kill, a low-grade immortal weapon. If it was in the hands of an ordinary early golden immortal cultivator, he could even kill an intermediate golden immortal cultivator with this formation.
"Fellow Daoist Yang, you seem to be interested in this set?" Gu Zheng asked when he saw Yang Jue's hesitation.
"I am a bit tempted. It's not a bad idea to get one as a trump card."
Yang Jue paused, then said, "Fellow Daoist Bai, do you want it too? If you want it, you can have it. I have other uses for my immortal coins anyway. "
"I don't want it, you can have it!" Gu Zheng smiled.
Gu Zheng also had a set of formation weapons. It was the 'immortal trap formation' he hadn't used in a long time. Not only that, but he also had a Dao that contained the Dao of Array Formations. He could be placed in any array formation to increase the power of the array formation.
"Alright, since Fellow Daoist Bai doesn't want it, I'll bid for it!"
Yang Jue nodded to Gu Zheng, then called out, "Two hundred and ten yellow immortal coins!"
Two hundred and ten yellow immortal coins sounded like a lot, but it wasn't. While Gu Zheng was talking, the starting price of one hundred and twenty-five yellow immortal coins had risen to two hundred. Yang Jue's bid was only ten more yellow immortal coins than the previous one.
"Two hundred and fourteen yellow immortal coins!"
Yang Jue's bid was outbid, but there was only one person.
Two seconds of silence, then another bid, "Two hundred and eighteen yellow immortal coins!"
"Two hundred and twenty-five yellow immortal coins!"
After Yang Jue made another bid, he shrugged and smiled at Gu Zheng and Huang Qi. "This is the limit I can give. If you go beyond this price, I won't bid."
"I think two hundred and twenty-five yellow immortal coins won't do. The final price should be around two hundred and fifty yellow immortal coins."
Huang Qi analyzed. Gu Zheng and Yang Jue nodded. After all, there were only two people left to bid against Yang Jue, and they didn't raise that much either. It was obvious they were having a hard time.
However, things were always unexpected. After Yang Jue's bid of two hundred and twenty-five yellow immortal coins, the original two went silent. No one else bid after that.
Yang Jue, who bought the formation weapon he wanted for two hundred and twenty-five yellow immortal coins, was overjoyed. Gu Zheng and Huang Qi were happy for him as well.
The next few items were very calm. It wasn't until the second item that Gu Zheng wanted appeared that he finally perked up.
"The next item is a high quality ingredient. The starting price is forty yellow immortal coins, and each bid must be no less than one yellow immortal coin."
The item in the auctioneer's hand was wrapped in a transparent immortal energy barrier. It was a translucent red Hellfire Turtle with flames burning on its surface.
Hellfire Turtles were very rare because they only lived in the magma deep underground. Its meat was very delicious and could strengthen a cultivator's natal true fire.
There were many people bidding for the Hellfire Turtle, and the price was steadily increasing. In just a moment, the price had reached eighty yellow immortal coins.
"Ninety yellow immortal coins!"
Gu Zheng's bid made the scene fall silent for three seconds.
"Ninety-three yellow immortal coins!"
The silence was broken by another bid.
Gu Zheng furrowed his brows and did not continue to bid.
"Is there anyone else who wants to bid more than ninety-three yellow immortal coins?"
"Ninety-three yellow immortal coins going once!"
Hearing the auctioneer's voice, Huang Qi asked in confusion, "Daoist Bai, why aren't you bidding? This Hellfire Turtle isn't worth that much to you? "
"Although this Hellfire Turtle is dead, it's still worth more than one hundred yellow immortal coins to an Immortal Chef. After all, using it as the main ingredient can increase the power of a cultivator's natal true fire."
Gu Zheng's voice paused for a moment, then he smiled. "Since the start of the morning auction, there have been two high-grade ingredients. From the bidding of these two ingredients, I think that besides me, there should be another Immortal Chef. If that's the case, then that Immortal Chef should be Lu Piaoxiang! She let me bid for the Jasper Flower Nectar, so I'll let her have this Hellfire Turtle. "
Gu Zheng's guess wasn't wrong. The person who bid ninety-three yellow immortal coins for the Hellfire Turtle was indeed Lu Piaoxiang.
"Fellow Daoists, there's nothing else I'm interested in in the auction this morning. Is there anything else you're interested in? If not, let's go out for a walk? "Gu Zheng asked.
"No, I'm already satisfied with getting a set of formation tools," Yang Jue said.
"The thing I'm interested in is in the afternoon! Since we don't have anything else to bid for, why don't we go for a drink? "
Huang Qi's suggestion was approved by Gu Zheng and Yang Jue. The three of them immediately left the auction house and found a secluded place to drink.
For the auction in the afternoon, the Chen family still reserved VIP room 1 for Gu Zheng. When Gu Zheng and Huang Qi arrived at the auction house, the auction was about to begin.
"This afternoon's auction is the last one of the year. There will be a total of six items added at the last minute. What are these six auction items? I'll keep you in suspense for now! The auction is about to begin. Fellow Daoists, don't miss out on the things you want! "
The auctioneer's sonorous voice resounded, and the Chen family's disciple beside him immediately brought out the first item of the afternoon. It was a long saber.
"This is a high-grade immortal tool, Roaring Flame Saber. Due to the addition of the blood of three types of fire-type immortal beasts during the forging process, its ability is very domineering."
The auctioneer took out a Jade Slip and activated it with his Divine Thought. The image sealed in the Jade Slip immediately appeared in the Void. It was a scene of a cultivator brandishing a Roaring Flame Saber. The Roaring Flame Saber was surrounded by three different colored flames. Not only did the three colored flames form a protective shield to protect the cultivator, even the rocks on the ground were melting due to the high temperature. The Saber Qi that was sent out carried flames.
"The auction for the high-grade immortal tool, Roaring Flame Saber, starts now. The starting price is 150 yellow immortal coins, and each increment must be no less than 3 yellow immortal coins."
As the auctioneer's voice resounded, the bidding continued.
In the Untainted Land, low-grade immortal tools and middle-grade immortal tools were not particularly valuable due to the abundance of materials and weapon refining masters. Basically, for cultivator sects of similar level, when their disciples were not cultivators yet, they would be given low-grade and middle-grade immortal weapons to use according to their performance.
However, high-grade immortal tools were different. High-grade immortal tools were also very popular in the Untainted Land. In addition to the precious resources needed to refine them, high-grade immortal tools were more likely to fail during the refining process.
The appearance of a high-grade immortal tool was enough to bring the auction to a climax.
In just a moment, the bidding price of the Roaring Flame Saber had reached 480 yellow immortal coins.
At this time, most of the bidders had given up on the Roaring Flame Saber, but there were still three bidders.
As if they were at loggerheads, the three bidders were gnashing their teeth. None of them wanted to give up on the Roaring Flame Saber.
"550 yellow immortal coins!"
One of the three bidders roared and bid again. This time, he didn't raise the bid by 10 or 20 yellow immortal coins, but 70 yellow immortal coins.
As soon as the bid of 550 yellow immortal coins was made, the other two bidders fell silent. It was not until the auctioneer asked again that one of the three bidders made another bid.
"600 yellow immortal coins!"
When the second bidder made another bid, the bidder who had roared and bid immediately moaned with reluctance and helplessness. This strange moan made all the bidders understand that the bidder was probably going to give up. 550 yellow immortal coins was the most he could offer.
The bidding price of 600 yellow immortal coins made the auction fall into silence again. When the auctioneer began to count down, one of the three bidders finally spoke.
"650 yellow immortal coins!"
Another bid of 50 yellow immortal coins was made. The bidder who had raised the bid to 600 yellow immortal coins smiled bitterly and said, "600 yellow immortal coins, I'll let you have it!"
"You have no choice but to let me have it. I'm determined to get the Roaring Flame Saber!"
The person who bid 650 yellow immortal coins seemed to be rather proud of himself, with a hint of ruthlessness in his voice.
Just when everyone thought that the high-grade immortal tool, the Roaring Flame Saber, would be sold at 650 yellow immortal coins, a voice that had never been heard before sounded.
"You want to get the Roaring Flame Saber with only 650 yellow immortal coins? You're determined to get it? If you exceed my bid, the Roaring Flame Saber is yours! 700 yellow immortal coins! "
The voice that had never been heard before made the highest bid in the auction in Luxia Town this year. Many bidders sighed with emotion.
700 yellow immortal coins for a high-grade immortal tool was actually not a loss. However, this number had already overwhelmed the other bidders. Even the bidder who had said that he was determined to get the Roaring Flame Saber did not bid again.
"Thinking back to the time when I bid for this high-grade immortal tool, the scene is still fresh in my memory!"
Yang Jue sighed with emotion. He stroked an ancient token that had appeared in his hand. It was also a high-grade immortal tool.
"How much did you bid for this high-grade immortal tool, Yang Jue?" Gu Zheng asked.
"I used up all the yellow immortal coins that I had saved for a long time. It was sold for 900 yellow immortal coins!"
Yang Jue smiled bitterly and stroked the token in his hand again. The smile on his face turned to one of satisfaction. "Immortal tools are too important to cultivators. 900 yellow immortal coins are worth it. Unlike fellow daoist Huang, his high-grade immortal tool was obtained by killing someone. It was a windfall! "
Hearing Yang Jue's envious words, Huang Qi smiled happily. Gu Zheng sighed with emotion. Compared to these two cultivators from the Untainted Land, his luck was really boundless.
Since becoming a cultivator, Gu Zheng had obtained many high-grade immortal tools. However, most of these immortal tools had been given to the people of the Emei Sect when he left Earth.
Gu Zheng had always been fighting against people of a higher level than him. His strength was valiant, and his luck was good. Naturally, he could obtain more things than others. A high-grade immortal tool was nothing to him. However, for Yang Jue and Huang Qi, one had used up many years of savings, while the other had obtained a high-grade immortal tool from killing someone. They would be excited for many years. This was actually the same as the real world. Everyone was human, but some people were rich, while others were poor.
The high-grade immortal tool at the beginning caused a climax. Although the next few items were not bad, the competitive atmosphere was not as fierce as before.
During this period, another high-grade ingredient appeared. However, this high-grade ingredient was a unicorn tail. Gu Zheng already had it, so there was no competition.
"It's its turn!"
Another new item was about to be auctioned. Gu Zheng braced himself again.
"The next item to be auctioned is a temporary addition to this auction. It's a bit amazing. Even if it was put in the auction in the Heavenly Realm, it would still be a popular item!"
The auctioneer held a plate in his hand. On the plate was a square piece of meat, about one jin in weight. The bright red meat had a pattern formed by pure white fat. It looked as beautiful as frost flowers! This kind of meat had the right amount of fat and lean, and was very suitable for frying. The Immortal Cow in Gu Zheng's Great Desolate Space could produce beef of similar appearance.
However, Gu Zheng's Untainted Land's Untainted Land only looked similar to the meat that was about to be auctioned, but in terms of quality, it was very different! Putting aside the quality of the meat, the meat that was about to be auctioned was surrounded by a layer of dense light. This was not a Celestial Art, but the light emitted by the meat itself. Just this point alone showed that it was not comparable to ordinary high-grade ingredients.
"The auction starts now. The starting price is 300 Yellow Immortal Coins. Each increment must be no less than 10 Yellow Immortal Coins!"
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, the bidding voices rose one after another.
Above high-grade ingredients, there were Celestial ingredients. However, Celestial ingredients were rare even in the Untainted Land. Generally speaking, Celestial ingredients were based on the mutation of high-grade ingredients. For example, divine beasts such as dragons, unicorns and phoenixes were high-grade ingredients. However, if they mutated in a good way, their meat could be regarded as Celestial ingredients.
Up to now, Gu Zheng did not have any Celestial ingredients. He was determined to get this one.
Celestial ingredients were not only rare, but their effects were also far superior to high-grade ingredients. For example, if ordinary dragon meat could increase one's cultivation base by one year, the effect of mutated dragon meat would be five times better than ordinary dragon meat. If it was used in food cultivation, the effect of mutated dragon meat would be ten times better than ordinary dragon meat!
Every Immortal Kitchen would buy Celestial ingredients, but the price was not transparent. The specific price would be negotiated in person.
For Gu Zheng, the biggest use of an Celestial ingredient was not its effect, but the things it contained.
All ingredients would be 'digitalized' in Gu Zheng's eyes. Gu Zheng saw something in this Immortal Grade ingredient that he didn't see in other ingredients. Therefore, he had to obtain this Immortal Grade ingredient.
Gu Zheng had once asked the weapon spirit if there was a higher grade of food cultivator above high grade food cultivator. The Artifact Spirit's answer was uncertain. Anyway, she had never heard Lord Gokusen mention it. When he asked that question, Gu Zheng's cultivation base was still low. However, with his current understanding of food cultivation, he was sure that there was a higher grade than high-grade food cultivation. Celestial ingredients might be the key to cooking a higher grade food cultivation.
The starting price of the five-colored deer meat was three hundred yellow immortal coins, but it quickly soared to seven hundred and fifty yellow immortal coins, which surpassed the previous record set by the high-grade immortal weapon, the Roaring Flame Knife.
"Heavens! Seven hundred and fifty yellow immortal coins! Fellow Daoist Bai, is … is it really worth it? "
"Fellow Daoist Bai, how many Immortal Chefs are there? How can an Celestial ingredient make people so crazy? "
When the price of the five-colored deer meat stopped at seven hundred and fifty yellow immortal coins, Huang Qi and Yang Jue, who were dumbfounded, looked at Gu Zheng. Huang Qi and Yang Jue might have grown up in the Primitive Desolate Era, but in their thousands of years of experience, this was the first time they had seen an Celestial ingredient.
"We have different values, so it's hard to say whether it's worth it or not."
Gu Zheng paused for a moment before continuing, "It's not only Immortal Chefs who bid for immortal grade ingredients. After all, the rarer an item is, the more expensive it is. This time, they spent seven hundred and fifty yellow immortal coins to buy a piece of five-colored deer meat. This news will definitely spread out. Then, in the next auction, there will be a comparison between the immortal grade five-colored deer meat and the price will very likely exceed the seven hundred and fifty yellow immortal coins! In other words, the bidders are relatively wealthy, so a few hundred yellow immortal coins is nothing. "
Whether it was a publicity stunt or a collection to wait for the price to rise, for Huang Qi and Yang Jue, who lived frugally, those were things that were far from their reach. After all, as a cultivator, he spent most of his time cultivating. Even though he had lived for thousands of years, his knowledge of the ways of the world was not as rich as those who had spent decades in the marketplace. Another reason for this was because of their identities. When they were still children, they were taken away by their masters to become cultivators. Later on, they became Immortals. Due to their identities, it was not easy for them to experience certain things even after entering the mortal world.
"Seven hundred and eighty yellow immortal coins!"
The brief silence was broken as another voice made a bid.
