Chapter 2209: If you're not in a hurry, then neither am I

The other cultivators in the venue all had the expression of watching a good show.

After all, the auction was originally dull; having such excitement to watch, who wouldn't want to, and it had nothing to do with them.

Seeing that Room No. 7 and Room No. 1 had successfully matched up, many cultivators had the expression of enjoying the spectacle without thinking it too big a deal.

As Room No. 1 directly offered a hundred thousand immortal crystals, Liu Chengfeng inside Room No. 7 also showed no weakness and shouted.

"Two hundred thousand immortal crystals."

"Hiss..............."

As soon as this price was announced, the venue immediately filled with the sound of people sucking in cold breaths; this is truly thrilling.

At most, the Ancient Youth-preserving Pill would go for twenty or thirty thousand immortal crystals, and that's already saying it high; now it's been shouted up to two hundred thousand.

And of course, the most delighted was undoubtedly the auctioneer on stage, after all, for every item sold he could gain some benefit; the higher the price, the more the benefit, so the more the better.

So, regardless of the people in the two rooms venting their anger at each other, the auctioneer's voice rose loudly.

"Two hundred thousand immortal crystals, any fellow cultivator willing to bid higher? This is a one-of-a-kind Ancient Youth-preserving Pill, the only one in the present world."

The auctioneer also didn't know the identities of the guests inside Room No. 1 and Room No. 7, but does that matter?

Not important; he's just a seller, selling at a high price is what matters most.

As the auctioneer's words fell, Room No. 1 quickly had a response.

Likewise, it was a needle tip against a wheat awn, showing no weakness.

"Three hundred thousand immortal crystals."

"My goodness, which prodigal son has come?"

"I haven't heard of that."

Likewise, a bid increase of a hundred thousand immortal crystals left many cultivators dumbfounded; are they using immortal crystals as copper coins?

But nobody knew that, at the moment the words fell, inside Room No. 1, this Elder of Jile Palace furrowed his brows and said.

"Brother Mu, aren't you bidding a bit too high?"

"If I don't shout like that, then I'll shut up."

"I don't mean that; you can add less each time."

Even if this Elder of Jile Palace wanted to disgust Qi Xiong and the others, after all, it's a hundred thousand immortal crystals.

Even though he is an Elder of Jile Palace, he can't withstand this kind of tossing; if the other party doesn't want it, then his thirty immortal crystals would just buy a Youth-preserving Pill?

Exactly as feared, after the Elder of Jile Palace finished shouting his bid, Liu Chengfeng's side indeed fell silent.

Seeing the other side fall silent, the Elder of Jile Palace's heart sank; my immortal crystals are going to be lost.

He immediately hurriedly opened his mouth to mock.

"How come, you were just full of vigor earlier, and now you can't keep up? I haven't even gotten serious yet."

"Heh, three hundred thousand immortal crystals for one Youth-preserving Pill, you're an idiot."

"You........... I'm buying it for my wife, okay?"

"Fine."

Finally, this one-of-a-kind Ancient Youth-preserving Pill was successfully purchased by the Elder of Jile Palace for three hundred thousand immortal crystals.

As this Ancient Youth-preserving Pill was handed to him, one could see the Elder of Jile Palace's face growing ever uglier, his teeth grinding with a creaking sound.

However, this also further ignited his anger.

Next, the Elder of Jile Palace made up his mind to go head-to-head with Liu Chengfeng.

As long as Liu Chengfeng opened his mouth to bid on something, he had to raise a hand.

However, he also became smarter; each time he would take profit when seeing a good opportunity, and his bid increases were also much more conservative.

For a while, the entire auction saw Room No. 1 and Room No. 7 going back and forth, which actually added quite a bit of excitement to the auction.

Of course, this also didn't affect the auction's progress, especially here where Qi Xiong obtained many of the treasures he wanted.

These treasures might be trivial in others' hands, but for the Dao One Immortal Sect they are urgently needed and of great use.

After all, the Dao One Immortal Sect had just been founded, with virtually no foundation.

While everyone was watching the excitement and bidding normally, the auctioneer on the high platform again loudly introduced.

"The next item up for auction is a special object—not a pill, not a magic artifact, not a talisman seal, and not heavenly materials or earthly treasures, but a cultivation treasure land."

"This treasure land is called the Immortal Spirit Platform; it greatly benefits the cultivation of Immortal Realm and Immortal King Realm cultivators, and its daily maintenance is convenient, requiring no excessive cost—truly a must-have first choice for immortals and immortal sects."

Still, it was the usual boastful self-praise that blew the roof off.

And as the auctioneer's words sounded, inside Room No. 18, Qi Xiong's eyes lit up; this was exactly what he had been waiting for.

Those earlier ones were basically just warm-ups; having something better is fine, but not having it is also acceptable.

But this Immortal Spirit Platform is different.

This time, Qi Xiong came specifically for this Immortal Spirit Platform; for that reason, he had been holding back his bids earlier.

Some treasures that were too expensive, he didn't take, all in order to compete for this Immortal Spirit Platform.

"There are still 1.5 million immortal crystals left; I don't know if that's enough."

He silently thought to himself, but no matter what, he would give it a try; if it couldn't be done, then it could only be said that they lacked fate.

As the auctioneer's words fell, Qi Xiong was the first to open his mouth and bid.

"Five hundred thousand immortal crystals."

First, he called out a starting price to test the waters, not in a hurry.

Qi Xiong thought that way, while inside Room No. 1, the Elder of Jile Palace wore an air of nonchalance, caring only about Room No. 7; others were irrelevant to him.

He knew the value of this Immortal Spirit Platform to the Dao One Immortal Sect, so this thing—whoever gets it is fine, except the Dao One Immortal Sect cannot have it.

The bid from Room No. 18, he didn't care at all; anyway, he only manages Room No. 7.

The Elder of Jile Palace is not in a hurry, and naturally neither are the others.

Liu Chengfeng in Room Seven was also not in a hurry.

His eyes also narrowed as he looked toward Room One, and he coldly laughed.

"Heh, old timer, you want me to name a price? I won't."

Room One was silent, so I stayed silent too—let's see who loses patience first.

The Extreme Bliss Palace disciple nearby spoke urgently.

"Brother Liu, name your price."

"Not in a hurry."

For a moment, after Qi Xiong's words fell, the entire auction hall fell into an eerie silence.

Even the auctioneer on stage was somewhat at a loss.

What's going on? Just now a single ancient Youth-Preserving Pill fetched three hundred thousand immortal crystals, yet now this cultivation treasure—a sect's foundation-level existence—hasn't even gotten an opening bid?

Some, lacking confidence, said.

"Five hundred thousand immortal crystals, once."

Even his voice grew much softer, clearly lacking confidence.

But as his words fell, the gazes of the many cultivators present continued to dart between Room One and Room Seven.

You look at me, I look at you.

In Room One and Room Seven, the Extreme Bliss Palace Elder and Liu Chengfeng both appeared calm and composed.

Extreme Bliss Palace Elder.

"Heh, I want to see how long you can keep up the act; I don't believe your Dao One Immortal Sect isn't moved by this Spirit Platform."

Liu Chengfeng's side.

"Heh, old timer, you think I'll argue with you? If you don't speak first, I, the young master, won't say another word."

The auctioneer on stage.

Damn, what kind of people are these? No one wants it?

"Five hundred thousand immortal crystals, second time."

In Room Eighteen, Qi Xiong wore a strange expression.

"Could it be that fate is on my side today? Five hundred thousand immortal crystals for a cultivation treasure?"
