Chapter 95 Turmoil
The auction is still ongoing.
The first Foundation Establishment Pill was bought by a lone casual cultivator sitting in an ordinary seat for the price of 10,500 spirit stones.
His whole body was shrouded in a black robe, and his whole person exuded an indifferent temperament that kept strangers away.
When he took the Foundation Establishment Pill, divine consciousness immediately swept across the scene. Apparently there were Foundation Establishment monks who wanted to see the true face of this casual cultivator.
Yu Xian was immediately stunned.
Okay, you all watch it, then I watch it too!
As a result, his spiritual consciousness radiated out, but was blocked by the black robe outside the body of the casual cultivator. The black robe was actually a robe that could cover his spiritual consciousness.
Obviously the black-robed monk came prepared.
After he took the Foundation Establishment Pill, he did not wait for the subsequent auction items, but walked directly backstage. It seemed that he wanted to get the Foundation Establishment Pill and leave.
But after he stood up, several people in the audience followed suit.
Yu Xian also sensed someone walking out of the VIP rooms next door, probably eyeing the black-robed casual cultivators.
After all, why buy it when you can grab it?
Everyone likes to do business without capital.
"This is the difficulty of casual cultivators. There are some opportunities to get so many spiritual stones, but getting the Foundation Establishment Pill is not the last step."
The old patriarch sitting in the corner saw the strange movement in the field and began to share his experience with his juniors.
"If I were him, I should go to the Land Department in advance and rent a cave at a high price to use the elixir for breakthrough."
"It's a pity that some casual cultivators don't trust anyone. They just want to sneak out of the city and find places to break through. They don't know that leaving the city is the most dangerous behavior."
"In fact, Master Danyang is willing to put up the Foundation Establishment Pill for auction, so he won't ruin his reputation because of a Foundation Establishment Pill."
"On the other hand, some informal markets often use Foundation Establishment Pills to fish, and secretly intercept and kill customers after each auction."
"So you often hear news about the auction of the Foundation Establishment Pill in a certain place. In fact, the same Foundation Establishment Pill may be auctioned several times."
"There are other cities that use inferior foundation-building pills to fish in troubled waters, but they are far less disciplined than Shangyang City.
Therefore, every time an auction is held, monks from thousands of miles around flock to Shangyang City. "
"Thank you, patriarch, for your guidance."
The male monk named Zhao Jia looked modest.
The female monk Zhao Bei had a disdainful expression on her face: "I am a monk from the Zhao family, who dares to lie to me?"
"Don't forget what happened to your middle-class brother."
The old patriarch lowered his voice and glanced at Yu Xian quietly. He was relieved when he saw that there was nothing unusual about him.
Zhao Bei's expression froze, he muttered, and then stopped talking.
…
The auction will proceed in an orderly manner.
Spirit elixirs, magic weapons, magic talismans, robes, rare materials, and occasionally a spiritual weapon or foundation-building spiritual object will appear, and a small climax will be set off on the scene.
Yu Xian touched the more than a thousand spiritual stones in his pocket and said he would do it next time.
But he didn't leave immediately because there were other items at the auction that interested him.
soon.
"What is being auctioned below is the Beauty Pill. One pill can keep a person's appearance unchanged for a hundred years."
"There are two Dingyan Pills in total."
"The starting price is two hundred spirit stones, and the increase in price per round is no less than ten spirit stones."
The words fell.
The whole place fell silent.
Cultivation has the effect of slowing down the aging of appearance, so ordinary cultivators will not buy it at all. If you have the money to buy a few more bottles of Qi training elixir, it is no better than a certain face.
But for wealthy people, this is not necessarily the case.
Soon there was a voice, it was from the VIP seats upstairs.
"two hundred and ten!"
"Two hundred and two!"
There was a sound of increasing prices for another VIP seat.
"Two hundred and three!"
"Two hundred and four!"
"Two hundred and five!"
"Two hundred and six!"
…
Soon there were only two voices left vying for the money, raising the price to ridiculous levels.
Yu Xian shouted in the middle, but was drowned out by the sound of price increases one after another.
"What the hell!"
"Yu Keqing, these two people have not changed their voices. They should be Jiang Tai, the fifth son of the Jiang family, and Lin Wu, the third son of the Lin family.
The Jiang Lin family has always been difficult to deal with. "
The old patriarch listened carefully and explained to Yu Xian.
The implication is that they are not trustworthy.
After all, Patriarch Zhao is the host on stage, and as the head of the Zhao family, he has the obligation to protect his reputation.
Yu Xian said without changing his expression: "I don't care, being taller than me is just a favor."
Old patriarch: "..."
On-site price increases continue.
One of the voices finally couldn't stand it anymore.
"Lin Wu, do you really want to fight with me to the end?"
"Haha, Fifth Young Master Jiang, the one with the highest auction price will get it, why are you still angry? I heard that your mother is about to celebrate her 60th birthday. This Dingyan Pill is probably prepared for her.
I'll raise the price for you to show your filial piety. "
Monks generally begin to decline in vitality and blood after the age of sixty, and their appearance will age faster. Therefore, it is best to take elixirs such as Dingyan Pill before the age of sixty.
"Four hundred and two!" Jiang Tai's voice sounded: "If you have the ability, just add more!"
"Four hundred and three..."
Lin Wu's voice sounded slowly, with the attitude of hitting me if you can.
The air was quiet for a while, and then Jiang Taihen continued:
"The last price is five hundred!"
"As long as you add a fixed price, I will give you this Dingyan Pill."
Five hundred spirit stones is not a small amount of money for a young master of the Jiang family who still needs to be nurtured by his family. It is enough to break the bones.
But now it’s not just the pills that are needed, but also the Jiang family’s face.
Of course, it can't be any higher. No matter how high it is, it will far exceed the market price, and others will only say that he has taken advantage of him.
"Tsk tsk, Fifth Young Master is so filial. This Dingyan Pill belongs to Fifth Young Master."
Lin Wu said as if casually:
"I heard that Ancestor Jiang passed away in Yue Kingdom not long ago. Now the Jiang family is leaderless, which is very sad.
However, today I saw that Fifth Young Master was able to spend five hundred spirit stones to buy just two Dingyan Pills to honor his mother. It seems that the rumors are not entirely credible. "
The words just fell.
The auction house suddenly became boiling, like a vegetable market.
As the first monk under the Golden Pill in Shangyang City, Old Ancestor Jiang has not shown up for more than ten years, but his reputation still remains in the hearts of many older generation monks.
Now that they suddenly learned the news that he had passed away, how could everyone not be surprised.
Seeing the excitement in the place, Yu Xian couldn't help but touch the storage bag at his waist. The protagonist they were talking about was lying in it at the moment, with only the skeleton left.
"That's right, it's been almost five or six years, and the Lin family has also lost a genius to build a foundation in the country of Yue. It's impossible not to send someone to investigate.
There were many survivors of the foundation-building battle that day. If you wanted to check, it would be easy to get some information. "
"Did Young Master Lin leak it on purpose and want to take action against the Jiang family?"
"Tsk, tsk, things are rushing now, and Shangyang City will probably be in chaos in the future."
"But it's not necessarily true. As long as Master Danyang comes forward, he can suppress the actions of the two families."
"But it has nothing to do with me, so I'll run away immediately."
Yu Xian had various small theater performances in his mind, but on the surface he looked very interested, perfectly interpreting the image of a melon-eating crowd.
Not to mention him, everyone else also straightened their ears, listening to the big melon behind.
"What did you say?!"
Jiang Tai's voice stopped abruptly, and another old voice sounded sinisterly, like a slippery poisonous snake, adding a bit of breathtaking pressure to the air.
"Little friend Lin, where did you get the news?"
The bead curtain of the VIP banquet where Lin Wu was sitting was rattling, which was obviously the effect of the old man's spiritual consciousness.
Peng!
There was an explosion in the air.
It was the collision of two spiritual consciousnesses.
Another voice sounded at the right moment.
"Old Yin, if you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself. Ancestor Jiang has not shown up for so many years. Do you still want to hide it from us?"
"The Jiang family has been domineering and cruel over the years and has driven away many monks from the sects and families. Now it is prosperous and declining, which is also due to retribution."
"you wanna die!"
The old voice was instantly furious.
A domineering and fiery aura erupted from the VIP room.
"Be bold!"
After listening to the Eight Diagrams, Patriarch Zhao on the stage immediately felt powerful and pressed down with his palms.
Formation runes appeared underground under the auction house, and huge pressure fell, instantly suppressing the Jiang Lin family.
Ancestor Zhao is also an array master!
"This is an auction that real people are paying attention to, how dare you be so presumptuous?!"
Ancestor Zhao did not really take action. Although he had Danyang Zhenren as his backer, he still had to give face to the powerful Jiang Lin family.
"Hmph, for the sake of the real person, Lin Bao, I will let you go for now."
"Old Yin, you'd better take care of yourself."
Both sides stopped fighting.
But under the calm air, an undercurrent is already surging.
Only Yu Xian looked unhappy.
"Grab my Dingyan Pill, I've written it down."
It's not that he can't increase the price, but if he increases the price at this time, he will be put at the forefront of the limelight. He is not stupid.
Although the Dingyan Pill is not a precious thing, it is of a high grade. There are not many alchemists who can refine it, and the market is small, so the profit is not much.
So there are very few on the market.
Yu Xian originally planned to buy it for Yulan to take. After all, as his bound Taoist companion, he didn't want Yulan's appearance to decline.
But now it seems that I have to wait and pay attention next time.
The auction continued under the auspices of Patriarch Zhao, but more and more monks were leaving.
On the way, Yu Xian bid for a bottle of Huanglong Pill, which could break the bottleneck in the later stage of Qi training, and two Purple Thunder Talismans, but he didn't make any more moves.
He would like to have them all, but his money is too tight.
It is also worth mentioning that he also saw a casual cultivator who looked very similar to Brother Li take away a foundation-building spiritual item called White Tiger Evil Qi, which cost him 4,200 spiritual stones.
Wait until the auction ends.
When Yu Xian returned home.
Inside and outside the city, news of the death of the ancestor of the Jiang family and the Taoist priest of the Lin family had spread widely. The Jiang and Lin families were at war with each other, as if they were ready to start a fight at any time.
