through their minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering the fact that He Song had only shouted out an opening bid earlier,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and had yet since remained quiet,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they had initially suspected that He Song was likely a plant by the Treasure Pavilion, or had been hired by the owner of the item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, who would only shout out an opening bid and then let other cultivators drive up the price?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And to be able to make a bid before the Golden Elixir Masters had even spoken,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it seemed unlikely that he was a normal participant in the auction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To dare to make an opening bid with the risk of offending Golden Elixir Masters,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Song's identity, in their view, seemed very likely to be one of a plant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not, why would He Song be the first to call out an opening bid instead of other Foundation Establishment True Persons?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn't it because all the other Foundation Establishment True Persons were hesitant, fearful of offending any Golden Elixir Master?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>when He Song shouted out his bid again, directly increasing the price to thirteen thousand mid-grade spirit stones,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the previous bidders, who had been increasing their bids more slowly, were naturally undecided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These bidders had rather complex identities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some were plants from the Treasure Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others were descendants of the owner of the item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And there were those who wanted to bring back the item to their family to add to its foundation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their purposes for acquiring the Golden Core Puppet Refining Method differed greatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, they all shared one thing in common.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was, they were not of high cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of their cultivations were merely at the Foundation Establishment Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that they all had support behind them, enabling them to bid so highly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet when He Song's voice rose once more, these bidders immediately began to question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Song, the cultivator who first called the opening bid, why was he bidding at this time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was he genuinely interested in the Golden Core Puppet Refining Method?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or was He Song also a shill, throwing his lot in because they were bidding too slowly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or did He Song have some other motive?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With many thoughts in mind, the intervals between the bidders' offers naturally lengthened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although these people continued to place bids after He Song joined, their calculations had become numerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for He Song, he paid no attention to this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued to raise the bid with those few people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, the price of the Golden Core Puppet Refining Method increased from the original thirteen thousand mid-grade spirit stones to sixteen thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did the few continuously bidding cultivators one by one lower their flags and withdraw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was the plants from the Treasure Pavilion,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>or the descendants of the item's owner,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>or the family cultivators seeking to claim the item,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they had all begun to sense that something was amiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing He Song's stance, he appeared determined to secure the Golden Core Puppet Refining Method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, although He Song was in a booth reserved for Foundation Establishment cultivators, each time he raised the bid, he did not hesitate for even a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If his actions did not suggest he had a powerful backing, these cultivators would certainly not believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, the price of the Golden Core Puppet Refining Method was nearing its threshold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they continued to make bids and He Song did not follow, then what would they do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such concerns,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the cultivators in question naturally withdrew from the contention, one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the cultivator who had intended to acquire the Golden Core Puppet Refining Method for his family's foundation, after deliberation, gave up on the idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To a Foundation Establishment Clan, the Golden Core Puppet Refining Method was actually not essential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the method surely contained profound Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment puppet refining techniques,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>its value always remained only within the Golden Core Puppet Refining Skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a Foundation Establishment Clan to produce a Golden Elixir Master was exceedingly difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And furthermore, He Song seemed especially determined to win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given the certainty of a strong backing behind He Song,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it was not worth it for them to contend with He Song and his support.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Foundation Establishment Clan could definitely not afford to make enemies everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's why,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>when He Song had inflated the price of the Golden Core Puppet Refining Method to sixteen thousand mid-grade spirit stones,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>no one else made a bid after him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed as if everyone had been subdued by He Song, unwilling to compete with him for the item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the auction hall,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Foundation Establishment Treasure Pavilion cultivator who had been closely monitoring the situation commenced the countdown after a long silence in bidding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sixteen thousand mid-grade spirit stones for the first time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sixteen thousand mid-grade spirit stones for the second time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sixteen thousand…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the voice of the Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Treasure Pavilion continued,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the din in the auction hall began to quiet down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just as they reached the count of three, another voice suddenly rang out from above the auction hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seventeen thousand mid-grade spirit stones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the emergence of this voice, the auction hall, which had been gradually quieting down,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>once again burst into murmurs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, whether it was the lowest level where Qi Refining stage cultivators gathered, or the booths where the Foundation Establishment True Persons congregated,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>almost everyone's gaze simultaneously turned upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>was the domain of the Golden Elixir Masters.\u003C\u002Fp>",939,"2026-06-10T05:03:32.164Z",1,"novelbin.me","b1b89d8d902ba08e359959d4e09481bb140173bf3bb37451071768e0b7ac6d61","i-live-forever-in-the-world-of-cultivation-world-chapter-825","i-live-forever-in-the-world-of-cultivation-world-chapter-823",1957,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-live-forever-in-the-world-of-cultivation-world-cover.jpg"]
