many Soul Transformation Realm Venerables have arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Included among them are the five most famous Soul Transformation-level forces of Xingluozhou:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xingluo City, Nanyu City, Feiyu Sect, Huangji Sect, and Zhenbao Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xingluo City sent its City Lord, Xing Zejun, and the commander of its Soul Transformation-level guard unit, Bai Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nanyu City sent its City Lord, Nanyu Wentian, and its Vice City Lord, Nanyu Ruming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feiyu Sect sent its Sect Master, Liu Long, along with three Soul Transformation-level Elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huangji Sect was represented once again by its Sect Master, Cheng Yuan, who had attended the Dongxuan Auction before, and two Soul Transformation-level Elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Zhenbao Pavilion, this time it sent Wang Mian'an, the Second Supreme Pavilion Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest of Zhenbao Pavilion's members are currently waiting at a distance from Dongxuan City for the optimal moment, ready to act when the time is right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the entry time expired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingxuan finally closed the entrance and exit of the Dongxuan Blessed Land and slowly appeared atop the high platform in the center of the Blessed Land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, most of Luotian Sect's powerful figures are still currently pinned down in Luotianzhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For this Dongxuan Auction, bids may be quoted in spirit stones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duanhun Venerable has successfully established a branch of Luotian Sect in Xingluozhou and has already begun expanding in secret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This shows just how attractive the items up for auction at the Dongxuan Auction organized by Ye Qingxuan are to Soul Transformation Realm experts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Duanhun Venerable's actions in Xingluozhou are currently just minor disturbances and have not yet attracted the attention of other Soul Transformation-level forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Xingluozhou is so vast that the prices of various spirit mines will inevitably fluctuate within the territories of the major forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten years ago, when the Dongxuan Auction was announced, everyone present already knew this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He has now specified on the scroll the exchange prices for various spirit mines for this Dongxuan Auction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hundreds of years have passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The content spoken by Ye Qingxuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all Soul Transformation Realm Venerables entered the Dongxuan Blessed Land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingxuan announced this again simply to avoid disputes once the auction officially began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, when trading, one must pay an equivalent amount of spirit mines according to the prices listed on the scroll.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, the scroll records the market prices of various spirit mines in Xingluozhou from ten years ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Among the spirit mines paid, the proportion of Grade Six spirit mines must not be less than sixty percent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides these, other reclusive Soul Transformation-level forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a wave of his hand, dozens of scrolls materialized out of thin air and floated down before the crowd in the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Groups such as Yinming Sect, Wangqing Sect, Xiaoyao Sect, and various Soul Transformation families all sent many representatives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duanhun Venerable, the leader of the Luotian Sect branch who had previously attended the Dongxuan Auction, also came to Dongxuan City to participate in this auction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, this was to ensure that the major forces had a clear understanding when bidding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, this was to prevent disputes over differences in spirit mine prices after the bidding concluded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The prices on the scroll represent the median values of spirit mine prices across various regions and do not differ significantly from local prices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the major forces, the spirit mine prices on the scroll were not difficult to accept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, this is Dongxuan City's territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they came to participate in the Dongxuan Auction held by Dongxuan City, they naturally had to show some respect to Dongxuan City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, after receiving the scrolls, no one was so tactless as to voice opposition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Experts who have cultivated to the Soul Transformation Realm are none of them fools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing an unknown powerful enemy, no one is willing to be the first to stick their head out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Ye Qingxuan finished speaking, he paused for a moment and scanned the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that no one had objections, he spoke again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since everyone has no objections, I, the City Lord, hereby declare the Dongxuan Auction officially open.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Ye Qingxuan shifted his mind, and a stack of red talismans immediately materialized on the stone platform before him:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The first item: ten Grade Six Mid-Grade Attack Talismans, Explosive Flame Talismans. Starting bid: fifteen thousand Grade Supreme Spirit Stones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sixteen thousand Grade Supreme Spirit Stones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seventeen thousand Grade Supreme Spirit Stones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first item, none of the major forces participated in the bidding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they did not lack spirit stones, the final payment for this auction would be made in spirit mines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially Grade Six spirit mines, which were not abundant in the inventories of the major forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the major forces did not intend to waste spirit mines on the earlier items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their targets were generally focused on Grade Six High-Grade and Grade Six Supreme items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those currently participating in the bidding were mostly Soul Transformation Realm Venerables of scattered cultivator origin from Xingluozhou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of these people had cultivation bases at the early stage of the Soul Transformation Realm, so Grade Six Mid-Grade Attack Talismans were still somewhat useful to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, the ten Purple Thunder Talismans were successfully won by a scattered cultivator at the early stage of the Soul Transformation Realm for a price of twenty-one thousand Grade Supreme Spirit Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After completing the exchange of the corresponding spirit mines at the small teleportation array before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He successfully obtained the ten Grade Six Mid-Grade Explosive Flame Talismans he had just won.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, Ye Qingxuan auctioned off more than twenty additional Grade Six Mid-Grade items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These included various elixirs, talismans, formation discs, and spiritual artifacts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The final prices were generally between ten thousand and thirty-five thousand Grade Supreme Spirit Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the final sixth-rank mid-grade item was auctioned, a stack of purple talismans appeared again on the stone platform before Ye Qingxuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The twenty-sixth item: ten sixth-rank high-grade attack talismans, Purple Thunder Talismans. Starting price: forty thousand supreme spirit stones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fifty thousand supreme spirit stones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, the one participating in the bidding was Cheng Yuan, the Sect Master of the Huangji Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the hands of a Soul Transformation realm cultivator, a sixth-rank high-grade attack talisman was already enough to pose a lethal threat to a mid-stage Soul Transformation cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such talismans were not even common within the Huangji Sect, making them worth his participation in the bidding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the Sect Master of the Huangji Sect participate, other Soul Transformation realm rogue cultivators sensibly did not join the bidding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the sixth-rank spirit mines they held, even if they participated, they could not compete against a sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So these rogue cultivator-born Soul Transformation Venerables simply chose not to bid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, the gap between powerful figures from established factions and lone wanderers was revealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for a few rare cases.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In most situations, cultivators with the same talent who joined major factions ultimately achieved higher accomplishments than those who chose to become lone rogue cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the rogue cultivator-born Soul Transformation Venerables no longer participated in the bidding, Ye Qingxuan began to speak:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fifty thousand supreme spirit stones, first time. Fifty thousand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fifty-five thousand supreme spirit stones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the rogue cultivator-born Soul Transformation Venerables withdrew from the bidding, the factions interested in the Purple Thunder Talismans were not limited to just the Huangji Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one who bid was Liu Jiangshui, the Sect Master of the Yinming Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for other factions, seeing that two factions had already entered the bidding, they tacitly remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Purple Thunder Talismans were excellent, they were not worth expending too many spirit mines, which would affect future auctions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, multiple factions bidding on the same item simultaneously did not align with their interests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Purple Thunder Talismans, while tempting, were not enough to make them act recklessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding this, Ye Qingxuan expressed indifference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, as long as these items were sold at auction, he would make a guaranteed profit, and a substantial one at that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Ye Qingxuan could sit back and watch the storm unfold, needing no concern for the petty schemes of these factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Liu Jiangshui participate in the bidding, Cheng Yuan merely glanced at him and said calmly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sixty thousand supreme spirit stones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Cheng Yuan did not yield, Liu Jiangshui hesitated for a moment, but ultimately continued the bidding:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sixty-five thousand supreme spirit stones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seventy thousand supreme spirit stones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seventy-five thousand supreme spirit stones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eighty thousand supreme spirit stones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, the ten sixth-rank high-grade Purple Thunder Talismans were successfully purchased by Cheng Yuan for eighty thousand supreme spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This price might still be within a reasonable range in the Xingluo Province.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at the Xuantian Sect, this price was absurdly high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of this chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1469,"2026-06-12T14:27:00.743Z",1,"Qwen3.5 122B","b904fe85e5bbb14f5948593ec7aee26e6ae505af51f2f0978c9238acf9487251","eternal-cultivation-starting-from-the-blessed-cu-chapter-283","eternal-cultivation-starting-from-the-blessed-cu-chapter-281",660,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-cultivation-starting-from-the-blessed-cu-cover.jpg"]
