How Many Spirit Stones Could He Spend at Most (4K)

To express the high regard for the Seven Crane True Monarch.

The eight True Lord present led a large number of Golden Core True Person to the entrance of Gui Yun Market and lined up to wait.

True Lord Hua Jian also temporarily instructed the cultivators below to decorate the streets with red and green decorations.

The main street in the middle was completely cleared out, and all the independent cultivators were driven into the alleys on both sides.

This is to express a warm welcome to Seven Crane True Monarch.

Xiao Chen followed behind Master Cai, curiously coming out to see what was going on.

He was eager to see just who this person was, that the True Lord present would make such a grand spectacle of it.

Before long, Crane Cry's cry came from afar.

A small black dot appeared on the south side of the market.

Looking into the distance, Xiao Chen realized that there seemed to be more than one person.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that they were actually a large flock of white-feathered, black-necked, and vermilion-crowned cranes.

At the very front was a smaller one, only about ten feet in size, which was frolicking and flitting about.

Behind it are seven heads, arranged in an orderly fashion according to the positions of the Big Dipper.

Each one was over a hundred feet tall and looked handsome and powerful.

During the flight, the surrounding white clouds automatically parted, creating a smooth, even road.

On the largest crane, representing the Tian Shu Star, sat a middle-aged cultivator.

He was wearing Bright Gold Three-star Crown, a Pure White Cross-collared Embroidered Robe, White Jade Jadeite Thousand-thread Dusting Whisk inlaid with kingfisher feathers, and Hollow Nine-dragon Jade Belt around his waist.

Surrounded by various colored spiritual lights, it looked extraordinary.

Especially against the backdrop of white clouds and cranes, it resembles a celestial being descended to earth.

As the distance between the two sides rapidly closed, waves of powerful pressure swept over them.

Without exception, all seven cranes were Fourth-Order Spirit Beast!

Moreover, judging from their auras, the largest one was almost on par with Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator.

As a result, many independent cultivators in Gui Yun Market who were unaware of what had happened were trembling in fear, hiding in the alleys, not understanding what had transpired.

However, with numerous Golden Core cultivators maintaining order, the minor disturbance was quickly quelled.

"Truly worthy of being from the Mo Family!"

Master Cai stared blankly at the sky, his heart filled with countless emotions.

If the Cai Family had a Fourth-Order Spirit Beast to protect them, they wouldn't have fallen to such a state today.

Many cultivators around were also astonished and deeply shocked.

Even the Three Dragon True Person, who had never been to the Holy City, was stunned.

He had long heard of the power of the Holy City Cultivator, but he never expected that they would bring seven fourth-tier Spirit Pet with them when they went out.

In terms of numbers, they are directly comparable to the True Lord of the entire Ze Realm Blessed Land.

If the two sides were to start fighting, even if they all rushed at once, they might not be a match for the other side.

From this perspective, Seven Crane True Monarch almost possesses the power to suppress a small blessed land on his own.

However, Xiao Chen's focus was different from that of many others.

His gaze swept over the other person's attire and he discovered that the person was covered in Spirit Artifact from head to toe.

That's right, from the crown to the Magic Robe, from the whisk to the belt, everything was Custom Spirit Tool.

Even the High-top Long Boots on his feet were imprinted with obvious Artifact Inscription.

If you include the jade pendant and sword at his waist, there are at least seven Spirit Artifact that can be seen on the surface.

They were basically armed to the teeth.

Moreover, Xiao Chen guessed that these things were probably not just simple decorations, but should all have corresponding effects.

After all, through the shimmering spiritual light, he could clearly see the dark golden inscriptions flowing on these Spirit Artifact.

Although he was not a weapon refiner and did not understand the specific meaning.

However, one can clearly sense that there is a certain pattern in those inscriptions, which contain enormous power.

These are all great things!

Xiao Chen sighed inwardly, then suddenly had a thought: he wanted to get himself a set of similar equipment.

It's not about wearing something to look luxurious and opulent, or something that's all show and no substance.

My main goal was to experience what it's like to be fully armed.

Seriously speaking, if he really had this whole bunch of Spirit Artifact, his combat ability would at least double.

This is because Xiao Chen was already quite powerful to begin with.

If it were a cultivator who was weaker to begin with, the improvement would only be greater.

After all, each of these Spirit Artifact represents a large amount of rare spiritual materials and a massive amount of Spirit Stone.

Unfortunately, although he has a lot of Spirit Stone, he doesn't have many suitable materials for refining weapons.

Although I have already accumulated several Top-grade Spirit Material.

However, if you want to forge seven Spirit Artifact, it might still not be enough.

Even with the current reserves of spiritual materials, it would be difficult to forge three Desired Spirit Tool.

After all, Xiao Chen was still thinking of sparing no expense to improve the quality of his individual Spirit Artifact.

Instead of simply using a bunch of junk to make up the numbers, which would be self-deception.

Fortunately, the person has been picked up and should be able to return to the Auction House soon.

Xiao Chen originally came to bid for Consumable Spiritual Item used for cultivation.

At that moment, he immediately decided that if he saw any rare Artifact Refining Material later, he would also take them.

With his financial resources, he could easily buy up most of the items at today's auction, if not everything.

But that might be a bit too ostentatious.

As for the specific control of the heat, let's discuss it with Master Cai when we get back to the private room.

Xiao Chen secretly sorted out his thoughts.

Seven Crane True Monarch had also landed and was busy exchanging pleasantries with the eight True Lord present.

Although he was far stronger than everyone else here, he seemed to have a good temper and didn't give off an aggressive vibe.

Of course, this is only relative.

Seven Crane True Monarch briefly greeted the other True Lord and then remained silent, completely disregarding the Golden Core cultivator around him.

Naturally, no one noticed Xiao Chen standing at the back of the crowd.

He then slowly returned to the Auction House, surrounded by a large crowd.

"Daoist Cai, please allow me a moment to speak. My third uncle wishes to discuss something with you."

The Gao Family cultivator who had been responsible for informing Master Cai quietly lingered at the back of the group and joined them again.

The two secretly met with cultivators from the other two major Lineage and discussed the matter privately for a short while.

Then Xiao Chen saw a hint of bitterness appear on Master Cai's face.

So they waited for the other person to return.

He asked curiously, "What's wrong? You look so worried."

Master Cai first closed the door to the private room, disabling the built-in Soundproof Array.

Then he took out Portable Array Plate and set up a new Soundproof Array Formation separately.

Then he sighed, "Sigh, according to the rules of previous years, in order to make the Grand Auction look more lively, each family should offer at least one Fourth-Order Spiritual Item."

"Although we can't arrange for someone to buy back our own spirit items, we can still exchange them."

"In reality, we only lose the auction handling fee; consider it a tribute to the Gui Yun Sect."

"In this way, we don't actually lose a Fourth-Order Spiritual Item, and each family also gains face."

"But just now, Fellow Daoist Gao suggested that since Senior Seven Crane has graced us with his presence, it would be a disgrace to our Ze Realm Blessed Land to bring out those ordinary spiritual items again."

He suggested that everyone bring out something good this time.

"Thus, this auction will become a grand event."

As soon as he said that, Xiao Chen understood instantly.

So it turns out they couldn't bear to part with the sacred object.

It's no wonder that Master Cai was frowning; among the Four Great Families, the Cai Family currently has the weakest foundation.

After losing the Nascent Soul True Lord to oversee things, the Cai Family's number of Fourth-Order Spiritual Item has been decreasing.

There aren't many left now, and I was reluctant to take them out to use them anyway.

At this point, not only would he be asked to produce something valuable, but there was also the risk that he might not be able to return.

If your own spirit item isn't favored by Seven Crane True Monarch, you can secretly raise the price and exchange it for it after the auction ends.

If you pique the other party's interest and they immediately place a bid, then there might be no turning back.

"Oh, is that so?"

Xiao Chen's eyes lit up upon hearing this; for him, this was great news.

I was just wondering where to get a few more Top-grade Spiritual Item.

This is like a pillow being delivered to you just as you're about to doze off.

If he sees anything good later, he won't hold back.

"By the way, there's something I'd like to ask in advance."

Xiao Chen asked beforehand, "How many Spirit Stone can I spend at most during the auction?"

Master Cai was taken aback upon hearing this.

He didn't quite understand what this meant.

After considering it for a moment, he replied, "The Grand Auction a reserve price; there is no upper limit."

"I brought six million Spirit Stone with me this time. If you need anything, please feel free to take them."

Judging from this, he must have misunderstood.

He mistakenly believed that Xiao Chen wanted to requisition Spirit Stone from him.

His face grew increasingly distressed.

It seems that this time, not only will I have to give up another Top-grade Spiritual Item, but my Spirit Stone will also be taken away.

Originally, Master Cai was hoping to win a regular Fourth-Order Spiritual Item at the auction.

In that case, I'm afraid we'll really lose everything.

"Hey, what are you thinking about?"

Xiao Chen was a little speechless. "What I mean is, without arousing suspicion from outsiders, what is the maximum number of Spirit Stone that can be spent in the name of the Cai Family?"

"As I mentioned before, I brought my own Spirit Stone."

"I just need to use your names to spend the money, I really don't want to rob you."

Do you understand what I mean?

Master Cai blinked, looking visibly bewildered.

He seemed to understand what Xiao Chen meant.

Literally, it simply means they're afraid of spending too many Spirit Stone, which would attract outside attention.

The problem is, when did the Rebellious Immortal Alliance become so extravagant?

If you weren't short of Spirit Stone, why would you go to such lengths to rob the major markets every few days?

Master Cai couldn't figure it out, but being a wise man, he would put aside things he couldn't understand for the time being.

The most urgent task is to demonstrate one's own value.

He immediately replied, "Please rest assured, senior, my Cai Family is quite well-off."

"It's fine if I bid on three or four spiritual items at once."

"As long as we come up with a plausible reason, it won't attract their attention."

After all, outsiders don't know how much wealth the Cai Family's ancestors left behind.

If, under the guise of fully cultivating new True Lord or maintaining and repairing ancestral formations, one were to lavishly spend Spirit Stone to purchase spiritual items.

Others would only assume the Cai Family was making a desperate gamble and wouldn't think much of it.

However, to Master Cai's surprise, Xiao Chen seemed dissatisfied with the answer.

"Can we only bid on three or four spiritual items? Can't we bid on more?"

"Of course, everything must be done with secrecy as the primary focus."

"If we announce to the outside world that the Cai Family is preparing to forge Custom Spirit Tool and therefore needs to purchase additional Artifact Refining Material, then can we buy a few more?"

ah?

Master Cai was truly shocked this time.

Are four spiritual items not enough for one auction?

How many Spirit Stone did you bring?

What are you planning to do?

The main items are spiritual treasures from the Grand Auction, not the common and inexpensive Fourth-Order Spiritual Item.

Even the spiritual items that the Four Great Families initially offered were highly sought-after items that would bring prestige to their Lineage.

Each item costs at least three to four million Spirit Stone.

Not to mention the few items that were added later, which are even more rare treasures, and their prices will likely rise accordingly.

Xiao Chen's question indicates that he has at least 30 million Spirit Stone on him.

This doesn't make sense, does it?

I just received news a few days ago that the Spirit Thief attacked the Market Warehouse have been caught.

But looking at it now, well, it's hard to say!

Master Cai strongly suspected that the Rebellious Immortal Alliance had already emptied the Market Warehouse.

Considering the cold attitude of the Cai Family when Gui Yun Sect held this small meeting, perhaps the information he received a few days ago was just a deliberate attempt to reassure people.

"If that's the case, bidding for five... oh no, seven spiritual items shouldn't be a problem."

Master Cai carefully considered his words before answering, "The main problem is that in recent years, our family's income has been low while our expenses have been high, resulting in a deficit almost every year."

"Everyone with eyes can see this."

"At this time, if we spend too many Spirit Stone at once, it will inevitably arouse suspicion from others."

Xiao Chen nodded with a hint of disappointment. "Okay, I understand."

Even though she had saved up a lot of Spirit Stone, she still had to restrain herself from spending them.

However, this was a compromise after weighing the options, especially since the Seven Crane True Monarch also arrived today.

I mustn't let him target me, or I'm afraid I won't be easy to deal with.

For now, we should stick to a low-key approach and focus on developing our strength in secret.

A short while later, as the independent cultivators downstairs took their seats, the auction officially began.

A female cultivator, almost completely naked, walked onto the central circular platform and smiled faintly at the crowd below, instantly captivating a large number of rogue cultivators.

Then, in a soft, gentle voice, she began to introduce the first item in the auction.

That is, the famous Golden Core Formation.

Um?

Xiao Chen was somewhat surprised; shouldn't this item have appeared at yesterday's Small Auction?

He had assumed Chen Fan had already succeeded, but he never expected that it would be the first item Grand Auction.

So, judging from that, Chen Fan should also be sitting down there right now?

Xiao Chen immediately scanned the numerous rogue cultivators below.

The private rooms are specially designed with virtually no blind spots.

Therefore, he soon saw that Chen Fan and Xu Qingyi sitting side by side, their eyes fixed on the round ' Golden Core Formation ' in the Auctioneer's hand on the stage.

It's good that you're here.

With the Spirit Stone I left him before, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he should have more than enough to bid for the ' Golden Core Formation '.
