After Luo Ping and the others sat down, they waited quietly for a while. They found that there were still many cultivators coming in one after another. Some of them knew Wen Liangzhou, so they came over to exchange a few words and left.
After about half an hour, the door of the hall on the first floor was closed. Manager Jian Xu went straight to the back of the table in front. At this time, everyone's eyes were fixed on him. The exciting auction had finally begun.
"I'm very happy that all of you have come to participate in this year's auction. On behalf of the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce and our President Mu, I welcome everyone. For this auction, our chamber of commerce has taken out several extremely valuable treasures. I believe that they will absolutely not disappoint everyone."
"Now that it's almost time, I won't delay any longer. I now announce that the auction has officially begun. Bring up the auction items."
Jian Xu waved his hand, and a few young and beautiful female cultivators came up from behind him. Each of them was holding a jade plate covered with a red cloth. They walked to the back of the stone table with a smile on their faces and put the jade plates on the table.
Seeing these female cultivators, those cultivators who often participated in the auction were already used to it. Only a newbie like Luo Ping was curious and couldn't help but look at them a few more times.
He wasn't looking at the appearance of these female cultivators. He just wanted to see their cultivation realm. After all, now that the auction had begun, he didn't dare to casually check the other party's situation with his spiritual sense. This would cause the auction house to be dissatisfied.
"These women are only at the Foundation Establishment Stage and below. They are in charge of the delivery and reception of the auction items. They can be found in every auction house. This can be considered a trend. After all, these women look more comfortable and friendly."
Wen Liangzhou explained to Luo Ping and the others through telepathy. After listening to the other party's explanation, Luo Ping understood that female cultivators below the Foundation Establishment Stage were acceptable. After all, there were more of them, so it wouldn't be shocking.
"The first three items to be auctioned are twenty third-grade pills' Meridian Refining Pills', three third-grade spiritual herbs' Fiery Sun Fruits', and a fourth-grade sword."
After Jian Xu removed the red cloth on the jade plates, he introduced the items in the three jade plates one by one. Seeing that the reaction of the people in the hall wasn't strong, he continued to announce the price.
"The starting price of the three auction items is ten middle-grade spirit stones. Each bid must not be less than five middle-grade spirit stones. The Meridian Refining Pill is the highest bidder. Start bidding now...."
"I bid fifteen middle-grade spirit stones..."
"I bid twenty spirit stones...."
"Twenty five middle-grade spirit stones..."
…
As soon as Jian Xu finished speaking, countless voices were heard in the hall. In just a moment, the price of the Meridian Refining Pill was raised to 40 medium-grade spiritual stones.
Luo Ping observed for a while and found that the bidders for the Meridian Refining Pill were all in the Foundation Establishment Stage. There was no one in the other stages. It was no wonder that the Meridian Refining Pill was originally aimed at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
The meridians and acupoints of the Foundation Establishment Stage had been almost opened. The next thing to do was to stabilize the meridians. The general method was to constantly absorb the spirit of heaven and earth to expand and stabilize the meridians through cultivation. However, the speed was very slow.
With the Meridian Refining Pill, the situation was different. It was a special pill to help the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators condense their meridians. With the help of the Meridian Refining Pill, the time to stabilize the meridians could be increased by several times. It was definitely the most desirable pill for the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators.
This time, the auction of twenty Meridian Refining Pills was full of temptation. Therefore, these Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators were so eager to get it.
"I bid sixty middle-grade spirit stones."
After this voice, there were no more bids in the hall. Sixty middle-grade spirit stones was far more than the value of twenty Meridian Refining Pills. Although these Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators were eager, they wouldn't waste their spirit stones like this.
"Is there anyone who bids more than sixty middle-grade spirit stones?"
"If not, these twenty Meridian Refining Pills will go to this fellow cultivator."
"Okay, no one bids. Sixty middle-grade spirit stones. Sold."
After asking twice, Jian Xu found that no one offered a higher price. The Meridian Refining Pills were bought by the self-cultivator without any suspense. At this time, a female self-cultivator behind the stone table walked down and went straight to the self-cultivator.
"Next, the second auction item, three Fiery Sun Fruits. The bidding starts now."
Jian Xu continued to host the auction. The starting price of the second auction item was also ten middle-grade spirit stones. However, because it was a common item, it was more popular than the previous one.
"Twenty middle-grade spirit stones."
"Thirty middle-grade spirit stones."
"Fifty middle-grade spirit stones."
… …
The bids were getting higher and higher. In the end, there were only three people left competing. At this time, the price had soared to one hundred middle-grade spirit stones. They were still bidding.
"It seems that these three people must be of the Fire Spirit Body. They all practice fire techniques. These three Fiery Sun Fruits are very useful to them."
Luo Ping thought to himself. He already knew about the Fiery Sun Fruit's effects. The Fiery Sun Fruit contained very rich fire spiritual energy. It was very precious for cultivators who practiced fire techniques.
Usually, it was very difficult to buy it in the treasure exchange market. Even if there was one, it would only be one fruit. After all, the Fiery Sun Fruit's living conditions were very harsh. It was usually found in places with extremely high flames.
Now that three of them were taken out, it was very generous. These three cultivators of the Fire Spirit Body were determined to get the Fiery Sun Fruit. No one was willing to give up.
"One hundred and sixty middle-grade spirit stones."
Finally, after one of them made a bid, the other two stopped bidding. After Jian Xu's inquiry, the second item was successfully auctioned off, and the price was quite shocking.
At this time, on the stone table, a female cultivator walked to the back of the hall. She walked towards the cultivator who won the Fiery Sun Fruit.
Luo Ping had observed carefully before. The female cultivator first collected the spirit stones from the buyer and then returned to the stone table. She took the item and handed it to the buyer to avoid trouble.
After all, the reputation and credibility of the auction house were there, so they would not cheat the buyers of their spirit stones. However, the buyers were different. Many of them were alone, and their identities were unknown. If they took the auction item and ran away, even if the auction house could get it back, it would affect the normal operation of the auction. Therefore, generally speaking, they would pay the spirit stones first, and then take the auction item.
For the items that appeared at the beginning, people like Wen Liangzhou did not care about them. Even if they bought them, they would not have much use for them. Basically, only the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators would buy them.
Only at the end of the auction would the auction items attract their attention. However, the further the auction went, the higher the price of the auction items, and the fiercer the competition. After all, they were all old fellows, and they definitely had a lot of spirit stones.
The last fourth-grade sword, after a round of fighting, was bought by a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator at the price of one hundred middle-grade spirit stones.
As a result, the three items in the first round were successfully sold. Jian Xu called out the items in the second round with a face full of smiles.
There were also three items, and they were brought up by the other three female cultivators. After Jian Xu introduced the three items at once, another round of bidding began.
Time passed bit by bit. Luo Ping and Wen Liangzhou did not make any moves. They quietly watched the other people bidding until the eighth round.
During this period, Ting Qin and Shen Ke each bought an item that they were satisfied with. Although they spent a lot of spirit stones, they did not care. After all, these were all within their affordable range.
"Now is the eighth round of the auction. There are a total of two items. They are the sixth-grade defensive armor 'Dragon Armor' and a pair of 'Blue Flame Black Roc' wings. The starting price is 500 middle-grade spirit stones. Each bid must not be lower than 50 middle-grade spirit stones."
As soon as Jian Xu's words came out, the cultivators in the hall immediately cheered up and fixed their eyes on the two jade plates on the table in front of them. Everyone released their soul sense to check the condition of the two items.
"It is indeed the wings of the Blue Flame Black Roc, and it was taken down not long ago. It still contains extremely rich demonic elemental energy that has not dissipated. Its value is not inferior to some seventh-grade treasures."
"This Dragon Armor seems to be made of a whole dragon's skin. It is incomparably strong, and it seems to be engraved with many formations. It is definitely a precious weapon."
Some discerning cultivators praised the two items one after another. It seemed that they were very satisfied with the two items. However, the starting price of 500 middle-grade spirit stones still made some people hesitate.
"Now, let's auction the Dragon Armor first. In addition to being made of a whole dragon's skin, this armor is also engraved with many defensive formations, such as stun, entangle, and flame … It is definitely a fine item among the precious weapons. Now, let's start bidding."
Looking at the reaction of the people in the hall, Jian Xu was very satisfied. He did not want to waste everyone's time. After a brief introduction, he directly announced the start of the bidding.
"Five hundred and fifty mid-grade spirit stones."
"I bid 700 middle-grade spirit stones."
"800 middle-grade spirit stones."
…
The price soared all the way. For items of this level, it was hard to find. In the treasure exchange market, no matter how many spirit stones one had, one might not be able to find it.
What's more, the armor in front of them was definitely first-class in terms of defense. Once the auxiliary formations were activated, it would be like adding wings to a tiger. Even when facing a strong cultivator who was one level higher than himself, he was confident that he could escape unscathed.
For many cultivators who did not have defensive weapons, this Dragon Armor was definitely a precious weapon that was tailor-made for them. In a short period of time, the price was raised to 1,500 middle-grade spirit stones, directly increasing by two times.
"It seems that these old guys are really rich. They bid more than 1,000 middle-grade spirit stones without burping."
Luo Ping muttered in his heart. Even though he had a lot of spirit stones on him, not less than these Nascent Soul Stage old geezers, but they were all obtained by exchanging spirit grasses and robbing from You Pengfei.
Overall, it was just more than 100 high-grade spirit stones. According to the current level of spending in the auction, it was estimated that he could not buy a few decent treasures.
However, Luo Ping was not short of treasures. The treasures he had now were enough to make him proud, but he could not reveal them. Otherwise, he would lose his life.
"1,600 middle-grade spirit stones."
