Chapter 135: Competing for Spiritual Items

Hearing what the two cultivators at the table next to him said, Song Qingming finally realized that the man in ordinary attire on the stage was actually a Jin Dan cultivator with profound cultivation. Being able to invite a Jin Dan cultivator to sit in town for an auction, the Heavenly Elixir Alliance was indeed not simple.

After Elder Gu said these few sentences, he soon left the first-floor main hall, leaving the position at the front of the main hall to a cultivator wearing a tiger-headed mask.

"Fellow Daoists, I am the person responsible for hosting this auction. The rules are the same as in the past. We will set a base price in spirit stones for each auction item. Fellow Daoists can add prices at will. As long as the golden bell in my hand rings three times and no one bids, then this auction item belongs to the last Daoist friend who called out the price.

Besides spirit stones, you can also use other spiritual items of equivalent value to mortgage. However, the specific value of the spiritual items you take out will be jointly evaluated by several fellow Daoists in our Heavenly Elixir Alliance who are specifically responsible for appraising treasures! In short, at our Heavenly Elixir Alliance auction, all auction items go to the highest bidder."

The tiger-headed masked man didn't look very old, but his voice, although very loud, carried a hint of hoarseness, making people feel very strange, as if he had deliberately changed his original voice.

"I announce that this auction officially begins. The first item to be auctioned is a second-tier low-quality magic tool, 'Azure Wave Shield'. This shield has outstanding defensive ability and is very suitable for people who cultivate water-attribute techniques. Whether it is a Qi Refining cultivator or a Foundation Establishment cultivator, they can all use it... The base price is 500 spirit stones. Please bid, fellow Daoists."

Following a shield the size of a palm appearing on the long table, the gazes of everyone at the scene were attracted by the tiger-headed masked man. He never expected that this first auction item would be a rare second-tier defensive magic tool.

"I bid 550 spirit stones."

"580."

"I bid 600 spirit stones. Thinking of taking down this magic tool with just over 500 spirit stones, there are really many naive Daoist friends here." A cultivator with some arrogance on his face mocked the few Daoist friends who had just called out the price after reporting the price. However, as soon as he finished speaking, his own bid was immediately drowned out by the crowd.

This second-tier low-quality defensive magic tool was originally a hot item on the market, and after being vividly introduced by this eloquent tiger-headed man, it soon attracted many cultivators in the field who lacked suitable magic tools to snatch it. Even Song Qingming was almost moved after seeing this item, but he didn't come for magic tools this time, but for the Marrow-Cleansing Pill that assisted in Foundation Establishment. He couldn't spend so many spirit stones on this, so he could only watch from afar to satisfy his eyes.

As the reported price continued to climb, the price of this magic tool also rose to over 800 spirit stones, which was already close to the original market price of this magic tool. Many cultivators who wanted to pick up a bargain soon extinguished the idea of bidding again. Finally, this magic tool was auctioned off by a woman wearing a mask for a high price of 960 spirit stones, which was already considered a significant premium.

Seeing that this first auction item had been auctioned off at such a satisfactory price, the tiger-headed man hosting the auction was very happy. He didn't let such a hot atmosphere fade away and immediately took advantage of the situation to take out the second auction item of the auction.

After a fire-red elixir furnace appeared in the tiger-headed man's hand, he continued, "Everyone also knows that our Heavenly Elixir Alliance is an elixir organization, and naturally we have many spiritual items related to alchemy. Everyone guessed right. The second item to be auctioned is the favorite of alchemists, the first-tier top-quality Red Flame Furnace. This furnace once followed a second-tier alchemist of our Heavenly Elixir Alliance for many years. If it weren't for finding a better elixir furnace this time, he certainly wouldn't have been willing to take this item to this auction. The base price is 300 spirit stones. This is not high, right?"

"It's actually a top-grade alchemy furnace. This thing might not even be bought in a place like Yangshan Market. As long as it's a first-tier alchemist, they certainly wouldn't want to miss this item. This thing coming out is afraid it will cause another round of contention."

Sure enough, as Song Qingming expected, as soon as the tiger-headed man's voice fell, several cultivators who were sitting stood up and began to bid. Although the people participating in the contention for this spiritual item were not as many as the Azure Wave Shield just now, the price comparison was more intense than just now.

After a round of raising prices, the price of this elixir furnace actually almost exceeded the second-tier magic tool just now. Finally, under several fierce gazes, it was collected by a mysterious young man wearing a dragon-headed mask.

After this man obtained this item, for fear of attracting others' attention, he actually directly exited the auction main hall and didn't know where he hid.

Song Qingming was still sitting quietly in the corner and didn't participate in the bidding. Although he still knew nothing about alchemy, he still roughly knew the price of this alchemy furnace. The best alchemy furnace in the Song family was in the hands of Second Sister Song Qingwan, and the quality was far inferior to the one on the stage just now. At that time, buying this item cost nearly 200 spirit stones, and the value of this one was even more self-evident.

This intense bidding also stimulated many cultivators in the main hall. The next auction items, without exception, were all snatched up by the many cultivators in the main hall. Even the cultivators in those VIP rooms on the second floor participated in several contentions.

But over a dozen spiritual items had already been auctioned off, let alone the Marrow-Cleansing Pill, Song Qingming didn't even see the tiger-headed man take out any other elixirs, which made him, who was sitting, somewhat impatient!

"Could it be that I really fell for that old man's trick? The Heavenly Elixir Alliance auction doesn't necessarily have elixirs for auction."

Just as Song Qingming was thinking, a sentence from the tiger-headed man soon pulled him back to the auction exhibition stand.

"There are 10 Marrow-Cleansing Pills in total, which have the effect of assisting Foundation Establishment. They are rare spiritual items for Foundation Establishment. Daoist friends who want to reach Foundation Establishment immediately, please don't miss this opportunity. The base price for each is only 100 spirit stones. Please bid at will."

"Damn! Marrow-Cleansing Pill, it finally came out."

Not only Song Qingming, but there were also many cultivators in the main hall whose eyes were also staring fixedly at a small medicine bottle in the tiger-headed man's hand.

"150 spirit stones."

"180 spirit stones."

Until the price was called to nearly 300 spirit stones, the sound of contention gradually quieted down. Finally, the first elixir was auctioned off at a price of 340 spirit stones, which was about 10% higher than the price in the market.

Because there was more than one Marrow-Cleansing Pill, Song Qingming didn't get too anxious. He first observed the final price of the first two elixirs. It wasn't until the third elixir that he began to bid.

Finally, he successfully took one at a price of 320 spirit stones. Although it was a little bit more expensive than in the market, he could finally say he didn't make this trip in vain.

Because there were quite a few elixirs, there were not as many cultivators competing for the Marrow-Cleansing Pill as when auctioning those few magic tools. The next few elixirs were all traded between 290 and 330 spirit stones. Only the last one auctioned had the highest price, reaching 350 spirit stones.

I will write another chapter later, everyone can read it tomorrow morning.
