Chapter 40: Spirit Gathering Pill Auction Starts

For Qian Duoduo's request, Long Xuan naturally agreed. He had already prepared the map fragment and left the most critical part. Now it seemed his preparation was superfluous.

Led by a young maid, Long Xuan entered the venue and sat in the VIP seat marked "Number Ten," waiting for the auction to start.

The auction was very large, enough to accommodate a thousand people. Not only were there rows of seats in the front, but there was also a large space in the back, which belonged to standing positions. Many loose cultivators stood there to watch the fun, and a burst of noise came.

Even in the seat area in the front, most people had already entered, but from their attire, it could be seen that those sitting here were all people with net worth. Compared to the back, it was much quieter here.

Seeing that so many people had already entered, Long Xuan knew that he had indeed arrived just in time, and there was indeed an auction to be held very soon.

But precisely because it was too fast, his map didn't have any publicity. He thought the real big shots didn't have time to rush over.

But this was also what Long Xuan was happy to see. If Qian Duoduo wanted to help him publicize for two months before auctioning, he would instead disagree.

Fast had the benefits of fast. He was used to being cautious. Even if he earned much less money, he didn't want a few more dangerous factors.

He knew too well what kind of temptation a fossil mine vein was to a family.

Because of the competition for a few mortal villages, Gu cultivator families could launch wars, let alone a fossil mine vein.

A fossil mine vein was absolutely something that could trigger wars.

The highest realm in the market now was only Spirit Refining Peak.

If the Qian Clan Merchant Association really wanted to help him publicize for a few months, don't even think about it; the Far West Market would attract a large group of Gu Kings, and even super forces from extremely far places would all hear the news and rush over.

By then, he would earn more, but who would guarantee his safety? He wouldn't be stupid enough to think that those Gu Kings would be intimidated by the market's no-killing rule and really wouldn't touch him.

By then, let alone him, triggering a Gu King melee in the Far West Market was possible.

The no-killing rule of the Far West Market was just a fart in their eyes.

So he wished the auction would be as fast as possible. Now there wasn't even a Spirit Sea Stage Gu cultivator in the market, so his safety had absolute guarantee.

Long Xuan didn't wait long. Before the VIP seats were full, the Qian Clan Merchant Association couldn't wait to start the auction.

With the sound of a bell, the auction venue instantly quieted down. Qian Jinjin walked to the auction table in a white dress and smiled slightly at the people below. That beautiful face made many people lose their souls on the spot.

When Long Xuan scanned that face, he couldn't help but call out "vixen" in his heart. In this world washed by spiritual power, it had to be said that the beauties in this world were much better looking than the celebrities of the previous life.

Not to mention how strong her professional quality was and how good her eloquence was, just by her standing here, the marketing amount of today's auction wouldn't be a worry.

Many people showed surprised expressions, wondering why the auctioneer of this auction would be her. Unless this auction had very special auction items, this Qian Clan eldest miss would absolutely not come on stage personally.

Many people who were not well-informed didn't know what had happened, but the outside world had already exploded. Small parts of the market appeared in no small chaos, and from time to time, flying insect books flew toward the distance.

Although the auction didn't have any publicity, it couldn't control explosive news at all, and many strong people were already rushing here.

Therefore, Qian Jinjin didn't dare to delay time, not even saying the long opening remarks, and directly started introducing the first auction item in her hand.

"Everyone, this is the last auction item just taken over by the auction house. I think everyone must be very interested."

Qian Jinjin beckoned to the back, and a maid with an equally outstanding appearance walked over, holding a jade plate, covered with a red cloth, making people unable to see what it was.

Often, unknown mystery was the most eye-catching. Covering it with a red cloth was enough to hook the interest of the people below.

"Alright, time is limited, so I won't sell the mystery."

"This is a Spirit Gathering Pill refined by a mysterious alchemist. There are ten pills in the bottle. I think every Gu cultivator knows what the Spirit Gathering Pill does, so I won't introduce it much to waste time."

"The starting price for ten Spirit Gathering Pills in a bottle is 100,000 Spirit Stones. The color of all Spirit Stones must meet the average standard. The bidding starts now."

Qian Jinjin tore off the red cloth, and at this moment, most people in the venue had rapid breathing, and their eyes turned red.

Most people in the venue were Spirit Gathering Stage Gu cultivators. It was precisely because the heaven and earth spiritual power was thin that the Gu cultivators at the Spirit Gathering Peak in this era were as numerous as ox hair.

Because of this, one could imagine the attraction of the Spirit Gathering Pill, which had a breakthrough effect. This first auction item of the auction was enough to make all Gu cultivators in the venue crazy.

At this time, many Gu cultivators who had been stuck at the Spirit Gathering Peak for decades without moving were completely crazy. As soon as the bidding started, they shouted loudly: "I bid 300,000 Spirit Stones! No one is allowed to fight with me!"

Long Xuan's heart trembled. The starting price was 100,000 Spirit Stones, and it tripled instantly?

Was selling Spirit Gathering Pills too profitable? Had he been too cautious in the past? If he had boldly taken out the Spirit Gathering Pills to sell earlier, I'm afraid the materials for refining the Ice Cold Divine Flame would have been collected long ago.

What did he get for being careful, careful, and careful? He was still cautious to the point of being killed and robbed of treasures.

Just when Long Xuan was shouting in his heart, this bottle of Spirit Gathering Pills soon soared to 1 million Spirit Stones.

Equivalent to 100,000 Spirit Stones per Spirit Gathering Pill, this was simply a sky-high price. He didn't know how many ordinary Gu insects could be refined with this money.

The price an item could sell for didn't depend on how much it was worth, but on how much money the buyer had in total.

Just like the Spirit Stone mine vein to be auctioned later, the total value could be as high as 100 billion, but no force had so much liquid capital, so the price naturally had to drop by a hundred times. This was an unavoidable thing.

So the price of about 1 million for ten Spirit Gathering Pills was already the limit.

But just when Qian Jinjin was holding the small gold hammer, preparing to make a final decision, a rough voice suddenly came from outside.

"My Long family is prepared to bid 1.1 million!"

The arguing in the hall fell, and a group of people filed into the sight of everyone.

Seeing this group of people enter, Qian Jinjin's pupils shrank.

The seven great clans of the Far West actually all arrived. So fast, did they fly over?

Looking at the people in charge of the other merchant associations behind them who actually walked in with a large number of people, she was even more shocked in her heart.

The Qian Clan Merchant Association was an outsider who had entered here in recent years and was far less deeply rooted than the merchant associations that had already been stationed here. The funds that these merchant associations could mobilize were absolutely not small. It seemed that it was impossible not to bleed heavily today.

The Qian Clan Merchant Association was an outsider that had moved in within the last few years, far less deeply rooted than the merchant associations that had already been stationed here. The funds these few merchant associations could mobilize were definitely not small; it seemed impossible to avoid a major loss today.
