After entering the small courtyard, Lu Xiaotian discovered that this courtyard was actually a completely different world. The few houses on the ground were ordinary and unremarkable. Although the houses were ordinary, one could enter a spacious underground trading area from them. Nearly a thousand cultivators arrived one after another. The auction hall was bustling with noise, and there were even a few small private rooms separated by spirit wood. When he first arrived, the bookkeeper didn't mention it, so it seemed that other cultivators had already reserved it.
A single cultivator had to spend five spirit stones just to enter, and there were even private rooms. There were nearly a thousand cultivators present, and they had earned over five thousand spirit stones in a day. This rate of earning spirit stones was like robbing. Occasionally, a few cultivators would reveal greed in their eyes, but after the auctioneer and the two Foundation Establishment cultivators ascended the stage, the cultivators present all quieted down. Two Foundation Establishment cultivators immediately appeared. Even if they wanted to, they didn't have the courage.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoists, for participating in this auction. I am the auctioneer, Fu Zengquan. Perhaps many Fellow Daoists are criticizing the high entry fee of five spirit stones, but I believe that the treasures that will appear later will make this trip worthwhile. " The fat Fu Zengquan chuckled and lightly tapped a small gong with a small bronze hammer. "Our association has provided ten spirit items for this auction, and we will now begin the auction with the first item. The first item is a grade four defensive spirit talisman, the Five Elemental Spirit Armor Talisman! Normally, it can last for the time it takes to burn an incense stick, or it can withstand a full-force attack from a magic tool. The starting price is two thousand low-grade spirit stones, and each increment must be no less than one hundred low-grade spirit stones. "
"What? A grade four defensive spirit talisman!? "The cultivators present immediately burst into discussion.
Lu Xiaotian's pupils shrank. A grade four defensive spirit talisman. It seemed that many of the spirit items in this auction were specially prepared for the cultivators of the forbidden blood-colored area. The reason why Foundation Establishment cultivators were not allowed to enter the Forbidden Bloody Ground was because their fights could cause the Forbidden Bloody Ground to collapse. A grade four offensive spirit talisman was equivalent to an attack from a Foundation Establishment cultivator, so it couldn't be brought in. However, a grade four defensive spirit talisman didn't possess any offensive capabilities.
However, its powerful defensive capabilities allowed it to withstand three attacks from a magic tool. For cultivators who entered, it was no different from having an extra life. After all, no matter how powerful a Qi Condensation cultivator was, if they were struck by a magic tool, they wouldn't be able to survive.
However, the price was a bit outrageous. It cost two thousand low-grade spirit stones. It could only last for the time it takes to burn an incense stick, and even Foundation Establishment cultivators wouldn't be willing to use it. After all, it was a one-time use item. Its price wasn't much lower than a magic tool's. Although Foundation Building cultivators were much wealthier than Aura Refining cultivators, the medicinal pills used by Foundation Building cultivators and the spirit stones spent on cultivation were also astronomical figures.
"I'll take this talisman, I'll take this spirit talisman, I'll take it, two thousand one hundred spirit stones..." However, even if it was a little expensive, there were still people who were willing to spend spirit stones for their own lives or the lives of their children. A young man with a pale complexion called out.
"I'll take this talisman talisman... Two thousand two hundred spirit stones. "A middle-aged man with a beautiful female cultivator in his arms said lazily.
"I'm afraid you won't be able to do as you wish. "Two thousand three hundred spirit stones," the pale-faced youth said.
"Not necessarily. You're not the only one with spirit stones. Two thousand five hundred spirit stones! "the middle-aged man said.
"It seems today's auction will be quite exciting. Two thousand five hundred spirit stones going once! Two thousand five hundred spirit stones going twice. Is there anyone else who wants to increase the price? If not, it'll go to Fellow Daoist Number 53, "Fu Zengquan said.
"Two thousand six hundred spirit stones!" The pale-faced youth hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth.
"Alright, two thousand six hundred spirit stones. Is there anyone who wants to go higher?"
"Although I have an Ice Threaded Silkworm Armor that's quite effective against spirit tools, it still can't withstand magic tools. There are many spirit stones in the barrier, but no matter how many spirit stones I have, I'll have to be alive to use them. As long as I can survive in the forbidden crimson area and reach Foundation Establishment, it'll be worth it. Three thousand spirit stones! " Lu Xiaotian pondered for a moment before directly calling out a price. He had his reasons for calling out a price like this. If he continued to argue, perhaps the price would rise even higher in the end. It would be better to directly call out a higher price to show his determination.
"A true master doesn't show his true colors. This Fellow Daoist actually called out three thousand low-grade spirit stones in one go." Fu Zengquan said with an exaggerated expression, "Is there anyone who wants to go higher? If not, this rare fourth grade spirit talisman will be taken away by this Fellow Daoist."
"Three thousand one hundred spirit stones!" The pale-faced youth glared fiercely at Lu Xiaotian.
"Three thousand five hundred spirit stones!" Lu Xiaotian didn't hesitate to raise the price once more.
A trace of killing intent appeared in the pale-faced youth's eyes. Just as he was about to raise the price again, he was pulled back by another cultivator. The pale-faced youth hesitated for a moment before reluctantly sitting back down.
"Alright, today's auction is truly exciting. Three thousand five hundred spirit stones going once! " Fu Zengquan slammed the table and stood up. If all the cultivators fought like this today, the auction would be able to make a fortune.
"Three thousand five hundred spirit stones going three times, sold!" Fu Zengquan hammered the hammer and made the final decision.
"What a spendthrift, spending three thousand five hundred spirit stones to buy a fourth grade defensive spirit talisman." A cultivator in the auction house said in a half mocking and half envious tone.
Lu Xiaotian breathed a sigh of relief. Perhaps in the eyes of others, he was a spendthrift to the extreme. However, to get this spirit talisman, paying some price was worth it.
The second auction item was a top-grade defensive spirit tool, the Blazing Golden Armor. The starting price was three hundred spirit stones. Lu Xiaotian had little interest in it. Although the Blazing Golden Armor's defense was good, its weight also somewhat affected his movements. The Ice Silk Armor on his body was not inferior in terms of defensive power and was also light and agile. Without any interest, he directly went to the auction backstage to pay the spirit stones and put away the Five Elements Spirit Armor Talisman like a treasure.
"Fellow Daoist, wait a moment." The person collecting the spirit stones was the accountant who had been at the door before. He called out to Lu Xiaotian with a smile.
"What's the matter?" Lu Xiaotian stopped and said with a frown.
"This is our auction's VIP waist card. If Fellow Daoist is interested in participating in the auction in the future, you can come to our auction at any time. You can also book a box in advance. "The accountant said.
"Let's talk about the future later." Lu Xiaotian shook his head and left the backstage. He had already spent several thousand spirit stones. Would he still care about the entrance fee of a few spirit stones? As for the box or the lobby, it didn't make much of a difference to him.
