As the red cloth on the jade plate was lifted, the crowd finally saw the item inside. A winding mountain range that looked like an earthworm was wrapped in a mass of True Core Strength.
Although it was sealed by the True Inner Force, there was still a faint gas emitting from the top of the mini mountain range. It looked quite magical.
"Spiritual Vein!"
Many people blurted out, unable to hide the excitement in their tone.
"Everyone, this Spiritual Vein is about a hundred miles long. The heart of the vein has just been formed, so there is still room for development in the future."
"The starting price of this Spiritual Vein is 3,000 Upper Level Spirit Stones. The auction begins now."
The Managing Elder briefly explained the situation of the Spiritual Vein and then announced the start of the auction.
"3,500 Upper Level Spirit Stones!"
"4,000 Upper Level Spirit Stones!"
"4,500 Upper Level Spirit Stones!"
… …
As the Managing Elder's voice fell, the crowd on the first floor immediately began to compete fiercely. The bidders were basically Nascent Soul Stage self-cultivators.
These people were the Sect Leaders of the fourth-class Sects. The Spiritual Vein in front of them was enough for them to rebuild their Sects. Moreover, their Upper Level Spirit Stones were limited, so they did not have too many requirements for the Spiritual Vein.
Although the first Spiritual Vein was of a lower level, it definitely cost the least Spirit Stones, so it directly caused a mad scramble. Many people wanted to buy it in one fell swoop.
The Sect Leaders of the third-class Sects were still wealthier in terms of financial resources. Naturally, some of them looked down on the Spiritual Vein in front of them, so basically no one participated in the auction.
"Wow, I didn't expect the starting price of the lowest level Spiritual Vein to reach 3,000 Upper Level Spirit Stones. If it goes on, it will reach 10,000 Upper Level Spirit Stones."
"It seems that our previous idea was correct. Only if we join forces can we beat the other bidders and successfully buy a satisfactory Spiritual Vein or heart of the vein."
In the VIP room, Fang Xiao said with a face full of surprise.
Even if these people had been cultivating for thousands of years, they did not have many Upper Level Spirit Stones. Even if they could buy the lowest level Spiritual Vein in front of them, it would be difficult for them to buy the higher level Spiritual Veins.
Low-grade spirit veins were not enough to establish a third-class sect, so they would not even consider it. Only when the spirit vein was close to a thousand miles in size would they consider it.
The starting price of a high-grade Spirit Vein would definitely be very high. At that time, the competition would be even more intense than now. In many sects, even if the Sect Leader and some Elders used all their financial resources, it would probably be very difficult to successfully win the bid.
"Of course. We have gathered the leaders of the five great sects and many elders here. As long as there is a spirit vein or pulse heart that you like, it won't be a problem to successfully bid for it."
"Therefore, we must choose a high-grade Spirit Vein or Meridian Heart. This way, the sect we establish can develop better and faster."
Invincible Cang Bai said very seriously.
"Of course. Let's wait patiently. As long as there is a spirit vein or heart that satisfies us, we will fight for it without hesitation."
Duan Jinchen said in agreement.
After everyone finished speaking, they stopped talking and waited patiently for the spirit vein that satisfied them.
After the first spirit vein was finally sold at the price of 20,000 high-grade spirit stones, the price of the following spirit veins became higher and higher. By the time the fiftieth spirit vein was sold, the price had reached more than one million high-grade spirit stones.
"This Meridian Heart has been formed for nearly ten thousand years. It has not been used yet. Within ten years, it can completely transform the surrounding 1500 miles into a spirit vein."
"Moreover, this Meridian Heart's speed of absorbing and exhaling the spirit qi of heaven and earth is very fast. No matter which fellow wins it, the established third-class sect will definitely be ranked at the top."
"The starting price of this Meridian Heart is 50,000 high-grade spirit stones. Now the auction begins!"
After the Principal Elder finished introducing the Meridian Heart on the jade plate, he immediately announced the starting price.
On the jade plate, the Meridian Heart was wrapped in a burst of True Essence. It was like a human heart, slightly trembling. Every time it trembled, it would release rich spirit qi of heaven and earth.
Because of the restriction, the spirit qi released by the Meridian Heart would not dissipate. As soon as it appeared, it would be reabsorbed by the Meridian Heart. Then it would continue to release and absorb, and so on.
"100,000 high-grade spirit stones!"
"150,000 high-grade spirit stones!"
"250,000 high-grade spirit stones!"
…
Everyone understood that such a high-level Meridian Heart must be bought at a very high price, so the price range was huge each time.
"This Meridian Heart is good. What do you think?"
In the VIP room, Duan Jinchen asked the others.
"It's really good. The transformation range of 1500 miles is much larger than the spirit vein of our sect. It's definitely worth bidding for."
Jing Fei was also very satisfied with this Meridian Heart and suggested that everyone participate in the auction.
"I agree with the auction."
Hua Ruyu said.
Subsequently, the leaders and elders of the five sects unanimously agreed to bid for this Meridian Heart. Duan Jinchen participated in the auction.
"800,000 high-grade spirit stones!"
Duan Jinchen directly announced the price. Since he had chosen to bid for this Meridian Heart, he would naturally compete to the end. No matter how many spirit stones he had to spend, they would not care.
After that, the price of the auction continued to rise rapidly. Soon, it reached 1,200,000 high-grade spirit stones.
There were only five people left who participated in the auction. These five people took turns to bid. Although each increase was small, the price of this Meridian Heart still rose to an unprecedented 1,500,000 high-grade spirit stones.
"1,800,000 high-grade spirit stones!"
Duan Jinchen directly increased the price by 300,000 high-grade spirit stones, which shocked the other four people. For a moment, the entire auction site was silent, and there were no more bids.
After such a long bidding process, everyone in Luo Ping's VIP room was already familiar with the moves of the people in Luo Ping's VIP room. Basically, they would succeed in bidding for any item they fancied.
Moreover, these people did not hesitate to make a move. Every time, they used their absolute financial strength to suppress others and win the final victory.
This time, for Duan Jinchen's bidding, everyone naturally understood that he was determined to win.
The site was silent for a long time. Suddenly, a voice sounded, breaking the silence. Not only did it surprise many people, but it also gave Luo Ping and the others in the VIP room a bad feeling.
"2,500,000 high-grade spirit stones!"
On the first floor of the site, a middle-aged man in white with a cold expression called out the price.
When everyone heard this, after seeing the middle-aged man's appearance, many people suddenly seemed to understand something. They all revealed a look of watching a good show.
"Hmph, Flying Sword Sect, this guy must have been instigated by the Valley of the Sacred Sword to go against us."
Invincible Cang Bai said angrily.
"Since this person was originally a disciple of the Valley of the Sacred Sword, even if he established his own sect, he is still dependent on the Valley of the Sacred Sword."
"Previously, he had already bid for a Spiritual Vein, and now he wants to bid again. This must be instigated by the Valley of the Sacred Sword."
Xiao Yan also believed that this person was instigated by the Valley of the Sacred Sword to deliberately go against them.
Although they did not know much about the Flying Sword Sect, they had Hua Chi by their side. When the middle-aged man from the Flying Sword Sect bid, Hua Chi had already told them that this person was originally a disciple of the Valley of the Sacred Sword.
It was precisely because of this that Invincible Cang Bai and Xiao Yan had such a reaction. They believed that this person was instigated by the Valley of the Sacred Sword.
"Didn't he want us to waste a lot of spirit stones? Then let's scare him. I think he will be scared half to death."
Duan Jinchen said coldly.
According to the rules of the Chamber of Commerce, if one did not have the ability to take out enough spirit stones after bidding for an item, it was equivalent to looking down on the dignity of the Chamber of Commerce.
Under such circumstances, the experts of the Chamber of Commerce would not hesitate to take action. They would either destroy the person's physical body or cause the person's realm to drop. Even worse, they would directly kill the person.
This was also the reason why no one dared to casually ignore the rules of the Chamber of Commerce. Duan Jinchen planned to use this to scare the Flying Sword Sect's Sect Leader.
"2.5 million high-grade spirit stones going once. Is there a higher price?"
Seeing that Duan Jinchen did not continue to bid, the Principal Elder said. It was already past the time limit.
Hearing the Principal Elder's inquiry, the Flying Sword Sect's Sect Leader's originally cold face suddenly turned pale. There were even traces of cold sweat that appeared.
He could not take out so many high-grade spirit stones. Even if he was originally a disciple of the Valley of the Sacred Sword, he was indeed instigated by the Valley of the Sacred Sword to deliberately bid. He wanted to make the price too high so that Duan Jinchen and the others would suffer a huge loss.
However, if he really bid for the heart of the pulse, he believed that the Valley of the Sacred Sword would definitely not help him pay up. He was very clear about his own value. He was not worth the Valley of the Sacred Sword to do so.
Therefore, there was only one outcome for him, and that was to be directly killed by the experts of the three Chambers of Commerce. After all, the amount of spirit stones he had falsely bid was too high. The extent of his contempt for the three Chambers of Commerce was also terrifying.
"2.5 million high-grade spirit stones going twice. Is there a higher price?"
The Principal Elder asked for the second time.
"Plop!"
As soon as the Principal Elder finished speaking, everyone heard a muffled sound. The Flying Sword Sect's Sect Leader actually fell to the ground on his butt.
His face was already covered in cold sweat. At this moment, large droplets of sweat the size of beans dripped onto the ground.
His body was also trembling uncontrollably. He did not hide his gaze from the second-floor corridor where the Valley of the Sacred Sword's VIP room was located.
…
"What a good-for-nothing. How could he be so scared? He is not even worthy to be a disciple of our sect."
Perfected Cultivator Jian Qing looked at the Flying Sword Sect Leader's appearance and said with extreme disappointment.
…
"He is indeed scared half to death. Brother Duan, you better hurry up and bid. Otherwise, he will really get it."
Invincible Cang Bai urged Duan Jinchen to hurry up and bid.
"2.51 million high-grade spirit stones!"
Duan Jinchen nodded and immediately called out the price. It was just an extra high-grade spirit stone.
Hearing Duan Jinchen's words, the Flying Sword Sect's Sect Leader felt as if he had been reborn. Tears of joy flowed down his face. He was extremely grateful to Duan Jinchen.
