Chapter 201: The Auction Concludes

The Duanhun Venerable had already secured a fifth-tier Dao-Comprehension Pill and thus had no intention of bidding again.

The Nascent Soul Venerable wearing the purple-gold mask seemed uninterested in these items and likewise did not participate in the bidding.

Consequently, this sixth-tier lower-grade Nascent Soul Pill was successfully won by Cheng Yuan for 800, 00 high-grade spirit stones.

"A sixth-tier mid-grade flying boat, with a standard speed equivalent to a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator's full-speed flight, and a maximum speed rivaling that of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. The starting price is 600, 00 high-grade spirit stones."

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's words, Cheng Yuan was immediately surprised: "Can Dongxuan City even craft sixth-tier flying boats? Or was this sixth-tier flying boat obtained by chance?"

It must be known that crafting a flying boat requires the simultaneous application of Array Arts and Artifact Arts.

Moreover, during the crafting process, the Array Arts and Artifact Arts cannot be arranged separately, or they will fail to merge perfectly.

Therefore, to craft a sixth-tier flying boat, one must cultivate both Artifact Arts and Array Arts, raising one's mastery in both to the sixth tier.

To date, no one in the entire Xingluo Province has been able to craft a sixth-tier flying boat.

Even Cheng Yuan himself currently possesses only a fifth-tier supreme-grade flying boat.

Regarding this sixth-tier mid-grade flying boat appearing at the auction, Cheng Yuan was also extremely covetous.

"600, 00 high-grade spirit stones."

Just as Cheng Yuan was pondering, the Duanhun Venerable had already bid first.

Seeing the Duanhun Venerable bid, Cheng Yuan wasted no time and spoke:

"650, 00 high-grade spirit stones."

"700, 00 high-grade spirit stones."

"800, 00 high-grade spirit stones."

"1. million high-grade spirit stones."

"1. million high-grade spirit stones."

Under the mutual competition between the Duanhun Venerable and Cheng Yuan, the price of the sixth-tier flying boat quickly skyrocketed to 1. million high-grade spirit stones.

After Cheng Yuan bid 1. million high-grade spirit stones,

the Duanhun Venerable fell into hesitation.

He naturally still had spirit stones, but his immediate priority was to establish a branch of the Luotian Sect in Xingluo Province.

To establish the Luotian branch, besides the basic resources and spirit stones provided by the main sect,

the Duanhun Venerable, wishing to expand the branch's scale and make it strong, would have to spend his own vast reserves of spirit stones.

With such concerns, competing with Cheng Yuan, who manages the Huangji Sect, was clearly unrealistic.

"1. million high-grade spirit stones, first time."

Just as the Duanhun Venerable hesitated, Ye Qingxuan had already begun the countdown.

But before the second count, someone in the hall bid again: "1. million high-grade spirit stones."

Hearing that someone else was bidding against him, Cheng Yuan's gaze turned cold as he looked toward another private box on the third floor.

The bidder was precisely the Nascent Soul Venerable wearing the purple-gold mask who had not participated in the auction until now.

"Hmph, 1. million high-grade spirit stones."

Cheng Yuan snorted and chose to continue bidding.

He was currently only at the mid-stage Nascent Soul realm, and a sixth-tier mid-grade flying boat would still be of significant help to him.

Thus, Cheng Yuan would not easily give up on the sixth-tier flying boat.

"1. million high-grade spirit stones."

Facing Cheng Yuan's gaze, that mysterious Nascent Soul powerhouse simply ignored him and continued bidding casually.

Although Cheng Yuan was dissatisfied with the other's attitude, he could only helplessly continue bidding: "1. million high-grade spirit stones."

"1. million high-grade spirit stones."

"1. million high-grade spirit stones."

"1. million high-grade spirit stones."

"2 million high-grade spirit stones."

After the Nascent Soul Venerable wearing the purple-gold mask bid 2 million high-grade spirit stones,

Cheng Yuan finally remained silent.

It was not that he could not afford the spirit stones, but 2 million high-grade spirit stones far exceeded the actual value of a sixth-tier flying boat.

As a sect master, he could not act arbitrarily and needed to consider the bigger picture.

"2 million high-grade spirit stones, first time. 2 million high-grade spirit stones, second time. 2 million high-grade spirit stones, third time. Sold."

After the transaction for the sixth-tier flying boat was completed,

only the final two items remained at the auction.

These last two items were added temporarily by Ye Qingxuan.

It was not to earn more spirit stones, but to deter external forces from eyeing Dongxuan City.

Looking at the crowd in the hall, Ye Qingxuan smiled and said:

"Very well, now we auction the final two items. The first is a custom order slot for a sixth-tier supreme-grade talisman, capable of customizing any sixth-tier supreme-grade talisman. The starting price is 600, 00 high-grade spirit stones."

"Upon a successful auction, delivery will be made within three days."

Currently, Ye Qingxuan's main body could not yet craft sixth-tier supreme-grade talismans.

However, backed by the Xuantian Sect, as long as he had spirit stones, finding someone to craft a sixth-tier supreme-grade talisman was not difficult.

By auctioning the custom order slot for a sixth-tier supreme-grade talisman, Ye Qingxuan simply wanted to borrow the tiger's might to intimidate external powers and scattered cultivators.

After all, any faction capable of freely crafting sixth-tier supreme-grade talismans could not be simple.

Indeed, after Ye Qingxuan finished speaking, everyone in the hall's faces changed simultaneously.

Even the three Nascent Soul Venerables were no exception.

Cheng Yuan's face darkened as he pondered unknown thoughts.

The Duanhun Venerable narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured, "Dongxuan City, I underestimated you."

Below, the two Duiwai Force Elders who had accompanied the Duanhun Venerable, having grasped the cause and effect, broke out in cold sweat.

They had nearly come into direct confrontation with Dongxuan City.

The Soul Transformation realm powerhouse who had always worn a purple-gold mask merely smiled faintly, "Interesting."

He had originally come only for this sixth-grade flying boat.

He never expected such a surprise from Dongxuan City.

"One million high-grade spirit stones."

This time, he bid first, raising the price directly to one million high-grade spirit stones.

Hearing his voice, Cheng Yuan and the Duanhun Venerable reacted immediately, opening their mouths to bid: "One point one million high-grade spirit stones."

"One point two million high-grade spirit stones."

"One point three million high-grade spirit stones."

Sixth-grade talismans come with a suppression effect.

A sixth-grade supreme talisman is sufficient to inflict devastating blows on cultivators below the late Soul Transformation realm.

For the Duanhun Venerable at the early Soul Transformation realm and Cheng Yuan at the mid Soul Transformation realm, a sixth-grade supreme talisman could already serve as a trump card.

"Two million high-grade spirit stones."

"Two point six million high-grade spirit stones."

Watching the competition between the Duanhun Venerable and Cheng Yuan, the wealthy and powerful mysterious Soul Transformation realm powerhouse raised the price directly to two point six million high-grade spirit stones.

Seeing the other party's determination, the Duanhun Venerable weighed the situation for a moment and ultimately abandoned the bidding.

Cheng Yuan gritted his teeth and quoted another price: "Two point eight million high-grade spirit stones."

Facing Cheng Yuan's quote, the other party showed not the slightest hesitation: "Three million high-grade spirit stones."

Seeing the other party refuse to yield an inch, Cheng Yuan exhaled and chose to abandon the auction, stopping his bids.

Ultimately, the customization slot for the sixth-grade supreme talisman was won by that mysterious Soul Transformation realm powerhouse at the high price of three million high-grade spirit stones.

"Very well, now we auction the final item of this auction."

After the auction for the talisman customization slot concluded, Ye Qingxuan spoke again.

"A customization slot for a supreme magic treasure; style and type are unrestricted. The starting price is one million high-grade spirit stones."

"Upon a successful auction, delivery will be made within one month."

Hearing the final item of the Dongxuan City auction.

Everyone in the venue was now certain that Dongxuan City must be backed by a massive power.

Instinctively, these cultivators had already listed Dongxuan City as one of the entities not to be provoked.

"Three point six million high-grade spirit stones."

The bidder was still that mysterious Soul Transformation realm powerhouse.

Upon hearing the final item of the auction, a look of delight immediately appeared in his eyes.

Giving the Duanhun Venerable and Cheng Yuan no time to dawdle, he raised the price directly to three point six million high-grade spirit stones, cutting off their hopes.

After waiting a moment and seeing no one continue to bid, Ye Qingxuan spoke:

"Three point six million high-grade spirit stones, first time. Three point six million high-grade spirit stones, second time. Three point six million high-grade spirit stones, third time. Sold."

"This Dongxuan City auction is now concluded. In the future, our Dongxuan City will hold auctions irregularly. We hope everyone will visit again then!"

In this auction, all items were sold at a premium.

If this were within the five regions of the Di Xuan Realm, these mid-grade items would absolutely not fetch such high prices.

Although the Dongji Region does not lack supplies below the seventh grade.

Yet the existence of demonic beasts, the limits of realms, and the constraints of lineages.

All these factors influence the growth and cultivation of talent in various aspects of the Dongji Region.
