materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The expenditure involved is also quite considerable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one also counts the cost of hiring someone to make the puppet, as well as some other expenses,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'm afraid the number of spirit stones required would actually far exceed the value of a cultivator's Golden Core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is to say,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>for others who wish to refine a cultivator's Golden Core into the treasures they need, the cost would be incomparably greater than that for He Song.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And for this reason,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>even if they wished to bid on this cultivator's Golden Core, they would need to consider whether they actually had such substantial wealth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Winning the bid for a Golden Core is easy; what's difficult is what follows, the process of refining the Golden Core into a treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such a situation, these cultivators naturally wouldn't use their entire fortune to bid on just one cultivator's Golden Core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to He Song's estimation,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>although the price of this cultivator's Golden Core will definitely exceed 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it should not exceed 200,000 mid-grade spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This price just so happens to be nearly equivalent to the entire wealth of a Golden Elixir Early Stage or Golden Core Middle Stage cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the reason,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it is naturally due to the aforementioned factors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if one's cultivation has reached the Later Stage of Golden Elixir or the Golden Elixir Great Perfection,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the extent of their wealth would already far exceed that of Golden Elixir Early Stage and Golden Core Middle Stage cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, even after buying the Golden Core, refining it into a treasure still requires a considerable price to be paid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These costs will also be factored into the price of the cultivator's Golden Core by these cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, after winning the bid for a cultivator's Golden Core,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>if one no longer possesses enough spirit stones to transform it into the required treasure,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>what should one do then?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if one cannot turn the cultivator's Golden Core purchased with a large number of spirit stones into the needed treasure,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then why spend so many spirit stones to bid for it in the first place?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, even if their cultivation has reached the Later Stage of Golden Elixir or even the Golden Elixir Great Perfection,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>when these cultivators participate in the bidding, they will certainly hold back to some extent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given that,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>with the wealth He Song presently has, he should be able to win it securely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, although a cultivator's Golden Core is precious, it still has a price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially here in Smoke-Cloud State Mansion, where Demonic Beast Cores, as valuable as a cultivator's Golden Core, occasionally appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cultivators with such a need might also be able to replace it with a Demonic Beast Core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this way, although this cultivator's Golden Core is precious, it is not unique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, its price can naturally not skyrocket to an exorbitant level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As He Song's thoughts flashed through his mind,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he became determined in his heart,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>no longer harboring much concern about whether he could secure the cultivator's Golden Core from the hands of these Gold Core Cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, just as He Song firmed his resolve and prepared to bid at any moment for the cultivator's Golden Core,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>outside, on the auction floor,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the bidding among the gathering of Golden Elixir Masters for that cultivator's Golden Core had escalated to an intense level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"130,000 mid-grade spirit stones!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"130,100 mid-grade spirit stones!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"132,000…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As each voice rang out, a wave of gasps swept through the entire auction hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Golden Elixir Masters boldly threw out prices, continuously raising the cost of the cultivator's Golden Core, hoping to deter others from bidding further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, as Golden Elixir Masters, how many of the present cultivators were unaware of the price of the cultivator's Golden Core?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>130,000?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This price, though already high, still had not reached its peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under such circumstances, the other Golden Elixir Masters naturally would not let someone snatch up a bargain so easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, as the price of the cultivator's Golden Core climbed progressively higher,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators hearing these bids were filled with amazement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>130,000 mid-grade spirit stones,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>when converted to low-grade spirit stones, amounts to a full 13 million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this is just a standard conversion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one were to actually trade 130,000 mid-grade spirit stones for low-grade ones, they could probably obtain even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One must know that although the exchange ratio between mid-grade spirit stones and low-grade spirit stones is one to one hundred, in reality, not many cultivators would exchange their mid-grade spirit stones for low-grade ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, the actual exchange ratio between them naturally differs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this huge sum of thirteen million low-grade spirit stones,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>is something that cultivators who are merely at the Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment Realm aspire for immensely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>almost all cultivators who were not at the Golden Core level had various thoughts flashing through their minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Golden Elixir!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the Golden Elixir!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one could step into the Golden Core Realm, would one be able to spend spirit stones as lavishly as now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one could step into the Golden Core Realm, would one stand high above others, just like the Golden Elixir Masters at the auction today?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one could…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could one also…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The auction hall was filled with noisy chatter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no matter how loud the noise was, it couldn't cover up the bidding of one Golden Elixir Master after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene continued until the price of the cultivator's Golden Core reached a total of one hundred and fifty thousand mid-grade spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One hundred and fifty thousand mid-grade spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In He Song's expectation, this was already the normal price for this cultivator's Golden Core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it went over, it wouldn't be by much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was any higher, hardly any Golden Elixir Masters would continue to raise the price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And it was at that moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Song also realized,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it was time for him to make a move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the price finally reached one hundred and fifty thousand mid-grade spirit stones,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>when the other Golden Elixir Masters were all contemplating whether or not to continue bidding,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a voice suddenly came from a private box where the Foundation Establishment True Persons were seated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One hundred and sixty thousand mid-grade spirit stones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As He Song's voice emerged again, directly raising the original bid of one hundred and fifty thousand mid-grade spirit stones by an additional ten thousand,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the gaze of almost everyone turned towards the box where He Song was seated at that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Song's voice was very calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as when he bid on the items he was interested in before,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>as well as when he subsequently bid on the Golden Core Puppet Refining Method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was still just as serene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what differed from the past was the price He Song called out at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One hundred and sixty thousand mid-grade spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary people might not have much of an idea about this price,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but for the cultivators present at the auction hall, who had been listening to a group of Golden Elixir Masters bid against each other until now,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they knew exactly what this price represented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The price of one hundred and sixty thousand mid-grade spirit stones\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>suggested that He Song was not what they had previously guessed—a Foundation Establishment True Person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary, He Song's identity must be that of a Golden Elixir Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And not only that, but a Golden Elixir Master with substantial wealth at that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be able to add another ten thousand mid-grade spirit stones to the already high bid of one hundred and fifty thousand for the cultivator's Golden Core,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>such magnanimity would hardly be believable if he did not intend to win the Golden Core outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that he raised the price by ten thousand mid-grade spirit stones outright just to scare off the other Golden Elixir Masters?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, more than one person had such a thought flash through their mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But immediately after,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the gazes looking towards where He Song was seated gained a hint of inquisitiveness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why would a Golden Elixir Master hide his cultivation level, blending in with a group of Foundation Establishment True Persons?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why would a Golden Elixir Master think to make a move on this cultivator's Golden Core only at the very last moment?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be some kind of peculiar habit?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or was there some unavoidable hardship?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, whether it was the high and mighty Golden Elixir Masters or the other cultivators who had come to an epiphany about He Song's identity,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they all became curious and perplexed about He Song's behavior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after He Song's bid of one hundred and sixty thousand mid-grade spirit stones, the auction hall remained quiet for a long time, with no other bids forthcoming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The high and mighty Golden Elixir Masters also quietly cast their gazes down and closed their mouths at that moment.\u003C\u002Fp>",1515,"2026-06-10T05:03:32.164Z",1,"novelbin.me","51ab6ca728af66972158c7088a725613c284e90578553a49acaadbc94c40bc21","i-live-forever-in-the-world-of-cultivation-world-chapter-832","i-live-forever-in-the-world-of-cultivation-world-chapter-830",1957,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-live-forever-in-the-world-of-cultivation-world-cover.jpg"]
