Auction Items Provided by Seven Crane True Monarch

Chen Fan has good talent, but his luck seems to be lacking.

Most importantly, they were stingy when it came to offering prices, completely lacking the domineering attitude of throwing money around.

They always bid at the minimum of one hundred Spirit Stone.

As a result, they encountered another cultivator who relentlessly pursued them.

The two bid against each other for more than twenty rounds, raising the price from the initial 100,000 Spirit Stone all the way up to 396,800.

This price far exceeds the normal average price of 300,000 Spirit Stone.

It should be noted that even for Golden Core cultivator, 300,000 Spirit Stone is a considerable sum.

The Auctioneer on stage was so excited that his face turned red.

Today's auction started off very well, and she'll definitely get a substantial share of the prize money afterwards.

Even at this point, the other side still hadn't given up and added another thousand Spirit Stone.

Feeling the gazes directed at him, both overt and covert, Chen Fan couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

He didn't want to give up this opportunity, but the ' Golden Core Formation ' was already priced at nearly 100,000 Spirit Stone above its value.

Continuing to fight over it would clearly be Gui Yun Sect a free advantage.

More importantly, he didn't want to spend all the Spirit Stone he had at once.

After all, whether it's helping the Xu Family or purchasing Spirit Artifact for myself after reaching the Core Formation stage, I'll still need a lot of money in the future.

At this crucial moment, the Auctioneer on stage did not rush to bid to urge him on, but chose to wait.

Just as Chen Fan was torn and wavering in his mind...

A somewhat familiar whisper suddenly rang in his ear, "What are you waiting for? Just name 500,000 Spirit Stone and tell them we want this."

"If the other side dares to follow suit, keep raising the price."

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Chen Fan was taken aback at first, then glanced at the worried Xu Qingyi beside him, and immediately realized that this must be Divine Sense Transmission.

Senior Xiao was actually there too?

He glanced around curiously, but couldn't see the other person anywhere.

However, I immediately felt much more at ease.

Now that Senior Xiao has spoken, he can continue bidding with peace of mind and do his best to win the ' Golden Core Formation Core'.

So he immediately raised his hand and said, "I'll put up five... um, I'll put up four hundred and one thousand!"

The surrounding independent cultivators were incredibly excited, never expecting such fierce bidding right from the start of the auction.

However, Xiao Chen shook his head slightly. "How come such a young man lacks presence?"

In his view, Chen Fan should have aggressively raised prices to directly deter the other competitors.

Adding it little by little will actually make the other side feel that they have a chance to compete, thus making them relentlessly pursue it.

Moreover, when Xiao Chen first discovered that Chen Fan was also here, he was thinking about whether he could ask Chen Fan to help him bid for one or two Fourth-Order Spiritual Item.

But judging from the current situation, it seems unlikely.

Keep in mind that there are nine True Lord watching from the private room upstairs at this moment.

The word "poor" has always been directly associated with Wasteland Rogue Cultivator.

Logically speaking, they shouldn't have participated in the subsequent competition for Fourth-Order Spiritual Item.

If a rogue cultivator who hesitated to bid in the early stages suddenly puts out millions of Spirit Stone to bid, that would be highly suspicious.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Xiao Chen decided to give up.

After all, his main strategy right now is to keep a low profile and avoid attracting attention from outsiders.

Therefore, after watching Chen Fan finally acquire the ' Golden Core Formation ' with 467,800 Spirit Stone, he quietly began to wait for the Fourth-Order Spiritual Item to appear.

Even when all sorts of Third-Order Spiritual Object appeared in the middle, they didn't even glance at them.

About an hour later, just as everyone was starting to get bored...

The Auctioneer on the stage bowed to all four directions and withdrew; she had completed her task.

The person who took her place on stage was an elderly man with white hair and beard, the most senior and capable Auctioneer in the entire Gui Yun Market, named Mu Wenbo.

He personally carried a tray covered with a red cloth.

Then he announced to the crowd, "I will now continue to preside over the auction. I would like to extend my greetings to all of you distinguished guests."

"Let's not waste any more time on small talk. The next item to be featured is the first Fourth-Order Spiritual Item of this auction."

"First of all, let's thank Old Master Gao for his support; this item is a treasure he sent us."

"To be honest, I've been Auctioneer my whole life, but this is the first time I've encountered such a special spiritual object."

As he spoke, he reached out and pulled, and as the red cloth fell, the tray was immediately illuminated by a burst of light, instantly lighting up the entire Auction Hall.

Many cultivators were dazzled by the bright light and instinctively reached out to shield their eyes.

Peeking through his fingers, he saw a Luminous Pearl, about the size of a watermelon, placed on the tray.

Its entire body is pure white, and its surface is as smooth as a mirror. It naturally and continuously emits a striking white spiritual light to the surroundings without the need for cultivators to inject Spiritual Power.

Even a rogue cultivator who came to the First Floor to broaden his horizons could immediately tell that this was indeed a good item.

"Please take a closer look at this Flowing Luster Treasure Pearl."

Mu Wenbo held up the tray. "Based on cross-analysis, it has been confirmed that this pearl originated from the Illusory Sea Secret Realm, which opened twenty years ago."

"It is a top-grade pearl that was cultivated by a fourth-tier Clam Spirit over a period of at least 1,300 years."

"Its nature is mild and gentle, without any Attribute Bias."

"Whether used as spirit medicine or a medicinal material, it is a top-notch product."

"If you want to use it to decorate a palace or Magic Robe, it would be an absolutely perfect decorative piece."

In the middle of the performance, Mu Wenbo also vividly recounted a story about the Flowing Luster Treasure Pearl.

Then it was announced, "The starting price for this item is 500,000 Spirit Stone, and each bid must be at least 10,000 Spirit Stone higher."

As soon as the price was announced, gasps of surprise rippled through the hall.

Hundreds of spiritual items have appeared before, but none of them have a total price exceeding 500,000 Spirit Stone.

Unexpectedly, the starting bid for this precious pearl was already higher than the total price of all those items.

Many cultivators perked up, ready to watch the fierce battle unfold, so that their trip would not be in vain.

"I'll offer one million!"

Xiao Chen immediately doubled the price.

Of course, he didn't speak directly, but whispered his offer to Master Cai next to him, and then he made the offer loudly.

To outsiders, this appears to be the Cai Family making a move to seize control.

Nevertheless, the mention of a million Spirit Stone immediately elicited gasps of surprise.

"Ah, that's a million Spirit Stone already?"

"My goodness! They've already reached a million Spirit Stone so quickly! I wonder who's so generous?"

"Judging from that direction, it looks like the Cai Family's private room. Truly befitting one of the Four Great Families, they're incredibly generous!"

The crowd was buzzing with discussion.

However, the cultivators from the other families were somewhat surprised.

They had all seen what the Cai Family had been up to these past few years.

Master Cai has been cutting expenses for over a century, so why is he suddenly being so generous this time?

Could it be that this Spirit Pearl is exactly what they need?

If that's the case, then it's only because the Gao Family can't raise their own prices.

The other two companies will inevitably join in the fun.

The Shang Family was the first to declare, "Add 100,000 Spirit Stone!"

Immediately afterward, the Jin Family shouted, "Add another 100,000 Spirit Stone!"

The way the two sides are taking turns raising prices doesn't seem like they're targeting the Cai Family.

However, before the Shang Family could follow up...

Xiao Chen immediately offered two million Spirit Stone.

"Senior, isn't this a bit too much?"

Master Cai was taken aback upon hearing this. "They only offered 1.2 million, and we..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Chen interrupted him, "Too much? How is that too much?"

"Auctions are all about the atmosphere, you understand?"

"Just name your price, I know what I'm doing."

Master Cai didn't quite understand, but he was obedient.

So he obediently acted as a mouthpiece. "I'll offer two million Spirit Stone!"

The moment the price was announced, everyone upstairs and downstairs fell silent.

The rogue cultivators below had never seen such a way of spending money in their lives.

In just a few words, he threw out a million Spirit Stone.

The Three Great Families seated at the top were relatively more knowledgeable and experienced.

However, they all looked bewildered, not quite understanding what was wrong with the Cai Family.

They do have a broader perspective, but they've never experienced anything like this before.

Is that correct?

Even Mu Wenbo, who was in charge of the auction, was taken aback.

He had worked in auctions his entire life, and this was the first time he had ever encountered such a bidding increment.

The entire Auction Hall fell into a silent silence.

Mu Wenbo paused for a moment, then quickly replied, "They say old ginger is spicier, and Master Cai truly has a discerning eye and acted decisively."

"Two million Spirit Stone for the first time. Is there any other distinguished guest who would like to offer a higher price?"

However, apart from him speaking, the hall remained unusually quiet.

Neither the Shang Family nor the Jin Family showed any intention of matching the price.

Although this Flowing Luster Treasure Pearl could be worth around one million to eight hundred thousand under certain circumstances, they would accept paying a slightly higher price to acquire it.

However, the Cai Family came in with great force, already offering a premium of 200,000 Spirit Stones.

Trying to compete for it again would be a bit too much of a stretch.

With no one bidding, the atmosphere seemed to cool down.

Mu Wenbo quickly began promoting the product. "Distinguished guests, according to our urgent investigation over the past few days, only six pearls over a thousand years old have appeared in the last two hundred years."

"And the one I'm holding in my hand is one of them."

"On average, it takes more than thirty years to encounter such a situation."

"If we miss this opportunity, we may have to wait another thirty years."

"If any distinguished guest wishes to take the Spirit Pearl away, they'd better seize this opportunity."

"Two million Spirit Stone for the second time!"

The scene remained largely silent.

No matter how hard Mu Wenbo tried to persuade them, no one continued to bid.

In the end, Xiao Chen successfully acquired the Flowing Luster Treasure Pearl for two million Spirit Stone.

One more piece of high-quality Artifact Refining Material.

Soon, he spent two million Spirit Stone to acquire most of the shell of a Fourth-Order Snail.

The reason it's only half-finished is because part of it was already smashed during the arrest.

Fortunately, the Fourth-Order Snail was large enough that even though a small part of its shell was broken, the rest still had great value.

The best Artifact Refining Material are added.

Xiao Chen then spent two million Spirit Stone to acquire the right horn of a Barren Green Ox and three million Spirit Stone to acquire the front paws of two Blood Moon Wolf.

We have obtained two more excellent Artifact Refining Material.

At the same time, it almost monopolized the majority of Fourth-Order Spiritual Item.

Fortunately, the arrival of Seven Crane True Monarch led to an increase in the number of Fourth-Order Spiritual Item up for auction, such as the more expensive Blood Moon Wolf Claw.

Therefore, although Xiao Chen obtained four spiritual items in a row, it was not particularly remarkable.

In particular, he deliberately ignored those Cultivation Spiritual Object and focused on bidding for spiritual materials.

This led the other major Lineage to believe that the Cai Family might simply need to collect spiritual materials to maintain the formation.

This effectively prevented them from overthinking and making wild guesses.

It would have been fine to just stay like this.

However, a small accident occurred when it came to the second-to-last item.

Mu Wenbo stepped onto the stage, holding a small box in both hands, and looked at the crowd mysteriously. "Distinguished guests, I have some good news to share with you."

"The treasure I am holding in my hand was provided by Seven Crane True Monarch for this auction."

"It contains wonderful things from the Holy City; I guarantee everyone who sees it will want it."

"Hehe, I won't keep you in suspense any longer. Let me show you what this treasure looks like."

He then opened the box, held it up, and walked around the room to make sure everyone present could see what was inside.

Xiao Chen also took a look out of curiosity.

Inside the box was only a small, pointed cone, about the size of a snail.

Its surface is dark black, with no inscriptions or marks visible, as if it were a semi-finished spiritual material just extracted from a spiritual mine.

Could it be some kind of rare spirit ore?

As Xiao Chen was speculating, he heard Mu Wenbo continue his introduction, "Some distinguished guests may have already recognized it; this is a Formation Breaking Cone that only the Holy City has the capability to forge."

"Its effects are very simple, yet very practical."

"That's used to break through the enemy's array blockade, or to attack the enemy's Defensive Formation and destroy its Array Foundation."

"Moreover, this Formation Breaking Cone is no ordinary weapon; it has been specially enhanced by Master Guyan."

"It can easily break through most Fourth-tier Grand Array, including the famous Five Elements Chain Defense Array."

"If you, esteemed guests, could carry one with you, you would be able to easily break through any blockades, whether you were ambushed by the rebels of the Rebellious Immortal Alliance or actively raiding the Stronghold of the Spirit Thief."

"It can be used for both offense and defense; it is truly an indispensable protective treasure!"

"I believe everyone is eager to know the price of this treasure, but there's something that Seven Crane True Monarch specifically instructed me to explain in advance."

"This Formation Breaking Cone was enhanced to increase its destructive power, but in doing so, it also sacrificed stability."

"It can only be activated once, cannot be recycled, and the remaining debris after use is basically worthless."

"In other words, this is a one-time measure."

"Please make sure you think this through before you place your bid."

After explaining everything that needed to be explained.

Mu Wenbo paused deliberately to give everyone some time to digest and think.

Then it was announced, "The starting price for this item is one million Spirit Stone, and each bid must be at least ten thousand Spirit Stone."
