Second-Rank Spirit Gathering Array
On the seventh day of the auction, more than nine thousand spiritual items were sold, marking the climax of the auction.
"Ladies and gentlemen, all the ordinary spiritual items have been auctioned off. Next up are the 100 highlight items of this auction."
After speaking, Chen Yue, who was presiding over the auction from the high platform in the center of the auction hall, took out sixty medicine bottles from his Storage Bag at his waist and introduced them.
"These sixty medicine bottles all contain Second Rank Low Grade Pill Refining, specifically Spirit Gathering Pill. Among them, thirty bottles contain Second Rank Low Grade Spirit Gathering Pill, twenty bottles Second Grade Middle Rank Spirit Gathering Pill, and ten bottles Second Rank High Grade Spirit Gathering Pill."
"Each bottle of these Spirit Gathering Pill contains two pills, and their quality is guaranteed."
"Although many of these Spirit Gathering Pill were consigned by other Spirit Gathering Pill, they have all been inspected by the second-level Alchemist of my Hundred Spirits Sect. If there is any error, all the fellow cultivators who bid on these Spirit Gathering Pill at this auction can come to my Hundred Spirits Sect for compensation at three times the price."
"However, if any fellow Daoist tries to exploit this rule, don't blame the Hundred Spirits Sect for being ruthless."
"These Spirit Gathering Pill will be auctioned off one bottle at a time. We will start with the lower-grade Tier Second Rank Low Grade Spirit Gathering Pill. The starting price for one bottle of Second Rank Low Grade Spirit Gathering Pill is two hundred Spirit Stone. Each bid must be at least ten Spirit Stone higher. The highest bidder wins."
As soon as these words were spoken, bidding erupted from dozens of private rooms on the second floor of the auction house.
The cultivators in these private rooms on the second floor were either from Foundation Establishment families within the Hundred Spirits Sect territory, or were independent Foundation Establishment cultivators, or Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Hundred Spirits Sect.
If one has no connection with Foundation Establishment Cultivator, it is absolutely impossible to enter these second-floor private rooms.
As for the hall on the first floor, the tens of thousands of cultivators were only at the Qi Training Stage stage, so they did not participate in the bidding for the Spirit Gathering Pill.
It can be said that the rest of the final auction items were basically the same, and had little to do with these Qi Refining cultivators.
Before long, the first bottle of Second Rank Low Grade Spirit Gathering Pill was sold for 430 Spirit Stone.
This price is thirty Spirit Stone higher than the price of two Second Rank Low Grade Spirit Gathering Pill on the market.
Spiritual items like Spirit Gathering Pill are rare and have limited availability. It's reasonable to buy two Second Rank Low Grade Spirit Gathering Pill for 430 Spirit Stone.
The remaining twenty-nine bottles of Second Rank Low Grade Spirit Gathering Pill were also auctioned off at similar prices by the cultivators in the private rooms on the second floor.
The remaining Second Grade Middle Rank Spirit Gathering Pill and Second Rank High Grade Spirit Gathering Pill were auctioned off for approximately 800 Spirit Stone per bottle and 1200 Spirit Stone per bottle, respectively.
After that, more than a dozen valuable second-tier spiritual items were auctioned off.
After auctioning off three Second Rank Low Grade Water Serpent Talisman, Chen Yue waved his hand to reveal twenty transparent Glass Bottle containing azure liquid from his Storage Bag.
In a private room on the second floor, Ling Pengyun saw the appearance of the twenty Glass Bottle and his expression turned somewhat fiery.
"The 100-year-old Evergreen Spirit Water has finally appeared. If I can seize this opportunity to acquire three mouthfuls of 100-year-old Evergreen Spirit Water, I will definitely be able to rely on these three mouthfuls of Evergreen Spirit Water, as well as the spiritual water on my body, to directly advance to the Foundation Establishment Third Layer in a short period of time."
"However, if I were to purchase such a quantity of Evergreen Spirit Water, the thousands of Spirit Stone I obtained from this auction of spirit items, along with the Spirit Stone I have accumulated over the years, would probably not be enough to buy a single serving of Hundred Spirits Water for the Thorn Vine."
Ling Pengyun's main purpose in participating in this grand auction was to purchase a bottle of Hundred Spirits Water for the Thorn Vine, which had already reached the peak of Qi Training Completion, so that it could attempt Foundation Establishment.
If this vine can reach the Foundation Establishment, he will not only receive the powerful spiritual energy from the Thorn Vine, but he can also push the Spirit Plant to the second stage.
He naturally wanted double happiness.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have considered spending a large sum of Spirit Stone to buy Hundred Spirits Water for the Thorn Vine.
Just as Ling Pengyun was lost in thought, Ling Pengxing was in the same private room as him, was also looking very excited.
Not long ago, he risked his life to enter the territory of Serpent Dragon Lake to kill Foundation Establishment Demon Beast and earn Spirit Stone, all for this water.
As for Ling Yunhong, who was standing to the side, he only changed his expression slightly when he saw the appearance of the twenty bottles of Evergreen Spirit Water, but he did not pay too much attention to it.
Although the century-old Evergreen Spirit Water would also be beneficial to him, he and Ling Pengyun both already had something they valued in order to participate in this auction and could not waste Spirit Stone.
"Gentlemen, the contents of these twenty Glass Bottle are all 100-year-old Evergreen Spirit Water."
"Although Evergreen Spirit Water is not the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Water, but is a spiritual water made with Evergreen Spirit Fruit, which has the effect of breaking through realms, as the main ingredient, this spiritual water is not much worse than the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Water. I think you fellow cultivators are already aware of its wonderful uses, so I will not say more."
"The starting price for this water is two hundred Spirit Stone. Each bid must be at least ten Spirit Stone higher. The highest bidder wins. The auction will still be conducted one bottle at a time."
"Three hundred and fifty Spirit Stone." Ling Pengxing was determined to get the first bottle of Evergreen Spirit Water, so he decided to make a final decision and directly bid a high price.
The price of a hundred-year-old Evergreen Spirit Water is generally between three hundred and three hundred and fifty Spirit Stone Spirit Stone. If it exceeds these prices, it is considered overpriced.
Ling Pengxing's bidding method did have some effect, deterring others who wanted to bid for the spiritual water.
The auction hall fell silent for several breaths before a cultivator came out to bid against Ling Pengxing.
"Three hundred and sixty Spirit Stone." A hoarse voice came from a private room on the second floor.
"Three hundred and seventy Spirit Stone." Ling Pengxing frowned when he saw someone else bidding, and spoke again.
The cultivator who had previously bid for this water on Ling Pengxing wanted to bid for the first bottle of Evergreen Spirit Water, but because of Ling Pengxing, the price of this first bottle of 100-year-old Evergreen Spirit Water had already increased by 20 Spirit Stone.
The cultivator wasn't stupid; he could tell that Ling Pengxing was determined to get his hands on this item.
If the competition continues, it will inevitably drive up the price of the first bottle of Evergreen Spirit Water, which will not be good for anyone.
Left with no other choice, the cultivator had to give up bidding for the first bottle of Evergreen Spirit Water.
After all, there were still nineteen bottles of Evergreen Spirit Water that had not been auctioned.
After ten breaths without any bids, Ling Pengxing successfully won the auction for the first sip of Evergreen Spirit Water.
Afterwards, Ling Pengxing followed the same pattern and bought two bottles of century-old Evergreen Spirit Water at a premium.
Therefore, he had used up all the Spirit Stone he had and did not bid for the remaining Evergreen Spirit Water.
After much deliberation, Ling Pengyun, who shared a private room with Ling Pengxing, also made up his mind and bid 355 Spirit Stone for a bottle.
Soon, all twenty bottles of the century-old Evergreen Spirit Water were auctioned off.
During this time, the hundred-year-old Evergreen Spirit Water, which Ling Pengyun and Ling Pengxing won in the auction, was delivered to the private room by a maid and handed to the two of them.
The two then paid the corresponding amount of Spirit Stone.
After bidding for the Evergreen Spirit Water, Chen Yue, who was hosting the auction, took out three different array plates and matching array flags from her Storage Bag.
"These three array plates and array flags are all Second Rank Low Grade Spirit Gathering Formation arrays. There are a total of three Second Rank Low Grade Spirit Gathering Formation in this auction."
"Once the Second Rank Low Grade Spirit Gathering Formation is activated, it can not only quickly gather Spiritual Qi within the array, but also purify Spiritual Qi with more impurities into pure spiritual power in a short period of time."
"Foundation Establishment Cultivator cultivate in this formation can absorb this pure spiritual energy into their bodies, and then simply purify it into Liquid Spiritual Power before sending it directly into their Dantian. This saves the step of purifying Spiritual Qi into spiritual power, thus saving Foundation Establishment Cultivator a lot of cultivation time."
"The starting bid for this formation is 500 Spirit Stone, and each bid must be at least 10 Spirit Stone higher. The highest bidder wins."
No sooner had he said this than Ling Yunhong, who had been waiting for this item, immediately called out a high price.
"1,500 Spirit Stone."
However, even at such a price, it was still difficult to dampen the thirst of the many Foundation Establishment Cultivator participating in this auction for the second-tier Spirit Gathering Formation.
In the blink of an eye, someone raised the price.
Soon, the price of this first Tier Second Rank Low Grade Spirit Gathering Formation rose to 2,500 Spirit Stone.
In the private room on the second floor, Ling Yunhong noticed that something was amiss.
If the current method of slowly raising prices continues, the price of this Spirit Gathering Formation will definitely rise further.
He gritted his teeth and directly increased the price by 700 Spirit Stone from the base price of 2,500 Spirit Stone, and called out.
"Three thousand two hundred Spirit Stone."
As soon as the bid was made, the auction hall fell silent, and no one else dared to bid.
Inside the arena, many cultivators began to speculate about the identity of Ling Yunhong, who had made the bid. However, since Ling Yunhong was deep inside a private room and did not show himself, and his aura was also isolated by the formation inside the room, the discussion came to no avail.
Ten breaths passed, and no one spoke again. Ling Yunhong had successfully bid for the first Second Rank Low Grade Spirit Gathering Formation.
The auction seemed easy, but it was only because Ling Yunhong offered such a high price.
Although spiritual items like formations are generally several times more expensive than other spiritual items of the same rank, the price of Second Rank Low Grade Spirit Gathering Formation usually ranges from two thousand five hundred to three thousand Spirit Stone Spirit Stone, with some fluctuations.
Ling Yunhong has overpaid by two hundred Spirit Stone this time. If other cultivators who are eager for this item were to bid against it, it would be somewhat unfair.
After all, no one's Spirit Stone come from thin air.
However, this formation is rare on the market and rarely sold. Its effects are also quite good. As long as it is well maintained, it can be passed down for hundreds of years without any problems. Paying an extra two hundred Spirit Stone to buy it is not too bad.
However, something happened afterward that surprised the 10,000 cultivators who participated in the auction.
That is, Ling Yunhong participated in the bidding for the second second-tier Spirit Gathering Formation.
Having gained experience from auctioning the first Second Rank Low Grade Spirit Gathering Formation, Ling Yunhong Ling Yunhong did not delay when bidding for the second Spirit Gathering Formation. He directly offered a high price of three thousand two hundred Spirit Stone and successfully bought the second Spirit Gathering Formation.
He then stopped and became a spectator.
Ling Pengyun and Ling Pengxing, who were in the same private room as him, also realized that Ling Yunhong intended to spend a lot of money to buy two Second Rank Low Grade Spirit Gathering Formation at the same time.
Many years ago, when the two had just entered the Foundation Establishment, Ling Yunhong promised them that he would find a Spirit Gathering Formation for each of them.
However, due to the Ling Clan's tight finances at the time, the purchase of the Spirit Gathering Formation for the two of them could only be postponed again and again.
Ling Yunhong's decision to spend a large sum of Spirit Stone to purchase two Spirit Gathering Formation warmed the hearts of Ling Pengyun and Ling Pengyun.
