Chapter 457
"Xiao Jiu, if it really doesn't work, let's change to Profound Yin Jade Marrow!"
In the private room, Clan Leader Su Wanjun said.
"Clan Leader, the spirit root attribute of the Profound Yin Jade Marrow is not compatible with yours, it doesn't have as good an effect as the Profound Yang Warm Jade."
Su Fan shook his head and continued: "Clan Leader, you don't need to worry about spirit stones. We have enough spirit stones to bid for it."
As soon as the Profound Yang Warm Jade came out, the entire auction set off another small climax.
Whether it was the main hall on the first floor or the private rooms on the second floor and above, they all began to bid actively. From forty thousand spirit stones, it was called to sixty thousand spirit stones in just a moment.
Of course, the final transaction price would inevitably be higher than sixty thousand spirit stones.
According to previous calculations, the transaction price of this Profound Yang Warm Jade was generally around eighty thousand. If it encountered fierce competition, it might reach ninety thousand or one hundred thousand.
Of course, this price was very rare. After all, after exceeding eighty thousand, almost no cultivators were willing to continue bidding.
Although the Profound Yang Warm Jade was the best auxiliary treasure for opening the Purple Mansion, it was not the only one. Although it was precious, it was only for small countries like the Zheng State.
In major countries like the Yan State and the Wu State, or in other continents, the real price of the Profound Yang Warm Jade was only around sixty or seventy thousand.
However, Su Fan and the others didn't care about the price. Even if it was one hundred thousand, Su Fan would still take it, because this piece of Profound Yang Warm Jade could increase the chance of the Clan Leader opening the Purple Mansion.
Once the Clan Leader successfully opened the Purple Mansion and became a Purple Mansion cultivator, with his cultivation as an array master, it would absolutely be no problem to reach a third-tier high-grade array master in the future.
Although array masters were not as profitable as alchemists, they were absolutely not bad. Even some array masters could sell a set of arrays for tens of thousands of spirit stones.
Becoming a Purple Mansion cultivator, one hundred thousand spirit stones, with the Clan Leader's ability, he believed that as long as it was within fifty years, he could earn it back.
So this was a business that was sure to make a profit without losing.
Moreover, even if he lost, having one more Purple Mansion cultivator in the family would be a huge improvement for the family. Su Fan couldn't stay in the Su family forever.
"Sixty-five thousand!"
Finally, Su Fan began to bid, and this increase raised the price by three thousand.
"Hiss!"
There were many gasps in the main hall on the first floor.
"Sixty-five thousand, private room 208 bids sixty-five thousand spirit stones."
Hearing this price, the auctioneer was naturally very happy, and his tone was even higher.
"Sixty-five thousand five hundred!"
When the price reached sixty thousand, those Foundation Establishment cultivators in the main hall on the first floor had very little competitive power. Even late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators could hardly possess such great wealth, unless they had support from behind the family.
"Sixty-six thousand!"
"Sixty-eight thousand!"
"······"
Soon the price broke through seventy thousand, but at this time, only cultivators in the VIP private rooms would bid.
"Seventy-two thousand!"
Su Fan shouted a price again. This price was already very high. Even many other cultivators in the private rooms were silent for a while.
They were all thinking about whether to continue. They had heard that voice several times, and it seemed that they were determined to get this Profound Yang Warm Jade.
"Seventy-three thousand!"
After a few breaths, a private room on the third floor shouted a price.
"Seventy-five thousand."
Su Fan immediately shouted seventy-five thousand. He did this on purpose, just to show his determination to get it, hoping that this would dispel others' thoughts.
In fact, it had some effect. At least some cultivators who originally wanted to compete thought about it and withdrew.
After all, although this Profound Yang Warm Jade was precious, it was not the only one. There were other auxiliary treasures for opening the Purple Mansion. Moreover, even if they didn't take it this time, they could get it from other places.
"Check who is in that private room?"
Su Fan's bid finally attracted the attention of some cultivators in the private rooms. After all, there was no hesitation in this bid, obviously the wealth was not low.
In the cultivation world, the strong prey on the weak, and robbing houses was a common occurrence.
Su Fan naturally understood this point, but he still did it because he had enough confidence. In the cultivation world, it was important not to show off wealth.
Lest it be peeped at, but he was not afraid. In the auction of the Lingtao Workshop, there were many Purple Mansion cultivators, but for him, there was no threat. As for Golden Core cultivators, Su Fan didn't think that a Golden Core cultivator would ambush Su Fan for the sake of a mere tens of thousands of spirit stones.
What's more, if it really happened, Su Fan would be happy instead. Killing a Golden Core cultivator would inevitably yield a greater harvest.
In the end, the one who competed with Su Fan withdrew completely when Su Fan shouted eighty-nine thousand.
This price was actually already very high. After all, under normal circumstances, the market price of Profound Yang Warm Jade was only a little over sixty thousand, and even in true major cultivation cities, Profound Yang Warm Jade only needed fifty thousand or so to buy.
The reason it was so expensive here was nothing more than the reason for its scarcity. Things are valued because they are rare.
But taking this piece of Profound Yang Warm Jade, Su Fan was still very happy.
As for Clan Leader Su Wanjun, he was somewhat worried.
"Clan Leader, don't worry."
Su Fan naturally knew what the Clan Leader was worried about. Besides spending a large amount of spirit stones, he was more worried about being targeted after they left.
This was inevitable.
Every time an auction ended, some battles would occur. There were still many cultivators who wanted to gain without working.
Even some cultivators were specifically here for this. There were many robbers and bandits in the cultivation world, and even disciples of some major sects were willing to impersonate them.
Then there were some who didn't have enough spirit stones to bid for these, were unwilling, and finally chose to seize by force.
But Su Fan was not afraid.
"Clan Leader, as long as it's not a peak Golden Core cultivator coming, there's no need to worry about others."
Su Fan's words made Su Wanjun's worries a little less.
The auction was still going on, but what followed had nothing to do with Su Fan and the others. After all, they spent ninety thousand spirit stones for the Profound Yang Warm Jade, which emptied Su Fan and Su Wanjun's family foundation at once.
Even for Su Fan, only a few thousand spirit stones were left. Perhaps for ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators, this was not a small number.
But for Su Fan, not having tens of thousands of spirit stones on him was really uncomfortable.
Next, it was time to earn money properly.
"Taking advantage of the influence of this auction, there are enough cultivators in the Lingtao Workshop, so I can make a big profit."
Su Fan calculated in his heart. Alchemy time might not be enough, so he could only make talismans, and he himself had a batch of spirit talismans in his storage box.
Second-tier spirit talismans had a not-small market in the Zheng State, but in the Zheng State cultivation world, there were only so many Foundation Establishment cultivators in those few workshops, and there was demand, but the demand was not large.
Plus, there were other family members selling spirit talismans, so Su Fan could only sell a small amount of spirit talismans.
But in this Lingtao Workshop, there were no fewer than several thousand Foundation Establishment cultivators, and as for Qi Refining cultivators, there were even more.
Some Qi Refining cultivators also had no small demand for second-tier spirit talismans.
