Net Worth

Lu Qingfeng flicked his sleeve, and the thirty-six Nine-Strategies Profound-Hao Sticks formed a small boat, carrying him and Lu Qingyu, and following Zhou Yuan.

However, it was not because they relied on Zhou Yuan.

An Azure Jade Disc appeared above Lu Qingfeng's head, enveloping him and Lu Qingyu. The restrictions on Spirit Void Island swept past without intercepting them.

"Besides the aforementioned purposes, the Mystic Origin Sect also used the auction to gather information on many rising stars, as well as surrounding major sects and Rogue Cultivator."

Lu Qingfeng landed on Spirit Void Island, next to Zhou Yuan. Azure Jade Disc hung from his waist as he thought to himself.

This jade disc was delivered two days ago by Wang Hui, the manager of Cloudrise Mountain, as proof of entry and exit to Spirit Void Island.

Given Lu Qingfeng's status Third-Order Artifact Refiner and Alchemist, it wouldn't be a problem if he intentionally concealed it and went to the Foundation Establishment Island. However, since he had no intention of concealing it, it would be a joke for the Mystic Origin Sect to send another third-tier weapon refiner and alchemist to the Foundation Establishment Island.

"Besides earning Spirit Stone, the greater purpose of places like Cloudrise Mountain, where cultivators settle down, is probably to gather information about cultivators from all sides."

For example, Lu Qingfeng.

Another example is the other unfamiliar faces with considerable cultivation.

Mystic Origin Sect will probably send people to investigate thoroughly. It's not that they have any malicious intent, but they're just being prepared.

Lu Qingfeng landed.

He vaguely sensed that people around him were watching him, and they must have seen the jade disc above Lu Qingfeng's head and were trying to guess Lu Qingfeng identity.

While staying on Cloudrise Mountain, Lu Qingfeng hadn't noticed anything amiss, but now that the auction had begun, he realized that so many Spirit Void Cultivators had gathered in Gathering Immortals Market.

There were dozens at a glance.

The total number is probably no less than several hundred.

Think of the Gathering Cloud Mountains—

"The Gathering Cloud Mountains are adjacent to the Weeping Marsh. The Spiritual Qi is average, the produce is mediocre, and there are naturally very few cultivators who are worth mentioning."

Lu Qingfeng understood this.

Elder Lu.

Zhou Yuan called out, Lu Qingfeng took two steps forward, whereupon he saw Zhou Yuan's True Essence faintly visible.

Immediately.

A protective barrier rose in all directions, creating an extremely spacious hall, complete with chairs and snacks. Looking around, one could see the various buildings formed by the barriers on Spirit Void Island, but the interiors remained hidden.

I imagine the same is true for others.

Looking further into the distance, other islands also came into view.

However, from directly in front, one can see the central island at a glance.

That's the auction booth.

"Brother, is this a formation?"

Lu Qingyu looked around, feeling quite fascinated. The island was suspended in mid-air, and the barrier had descended from the sky; all of this was far beyond her comprehension, giving her a sense of having her eyes opened.

"Good."

"Mystic Origin Sect has indeed put in a lot of effort."

Lu Qingfeng nodded.

Even in games, it's rare to see an auction so 'exquisitely' designed.

Lu Qingyu walked around the hall with curiosity, looking around.

After a long while, he walked over and sat down next to Lu Qingfeng, asking, "When does the auction start?"

Lu Qingfeng looked at Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan, seemingly lost in thought, lightly patted his forehead and said with a forced smile, "I almost forgot."

As he spoke, he waved his sleeve, unleashing a burst of True Essence that manifested a scene in the air before him. Various items were arranged on it.

Law Artifact, elixirs, refining materials, spirit medicine, golden books, Jade Slip, and so on.

"This is--"

This was also Lu Qingfeng's first time at the Mystic Origin Auction, so he didn't know much about it.

Lu Qingyu looked at Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan said, "The people from the Mystic Origin Sect have not yet arrived, and there is still some time before the auction begins. Because the auction time is limited, in addition to the items auctioned on the central stage, Mystic Origin Sect will also auction a large number of treasures that are of auction quality but cannot compare with other items through another method. This can be considered as a change during the auction process."

As Zhou Yuan explained, Lu Qingfeng suddenly realized what was going on.

Turn out to be.

The Mystic Origin Auction divided into two forms, and both forms run concurrently during the auction.

Firstly.

It's the most traditional auction.

An experienced auctioneer introduces the treasures to the monks participating in the auction at the center of the booth, and then the monks bid against each other.

The highest bidder wins.

This method is the most lively and also the most intense.

Secondly.

This is the kind of thing Zhou Yuan is introducing right now.

Mystic Origin Sect compiled information on many items that had been consigned for auction but failed to meet the first bidding standard, and then allowed the cultivators participating in the auction to view them.

These items are displayed in all aspects, and the information provided is also verified by senior appraisers from the Mystic Origin Sect.

If you value it, you can leave a price.

Above each item is the real-time highest bid.

If you are not interested in the items being auctioned during the auction, you can browse the second category of items to find items that interest you and then bid on them.

At the end of each auction, the highest bidder wins.

Although it happens silently, the bidding can sometimes be just as fierce as the former.

"The detailed information about the auction is all in the Qingdie; Elder Lu must not have seen it," Zhou Yuan explained, then looked at Lu Qingfeng and smiled.

"Really."

Lu Qingfeng was taken aback, then nodded.

Wang Hui, the steward of Chushanyun, delivered Azure Jade Disc and explained to Lu Qingfeng the detailed information about the auction contained within. However, Lu Qingfeng was busy and had Zhou Yuan giving him guidance, so he didn't examine it closely and simply put it away.

Only after Zhou Yuan mentioned it did he grab the jade disc in his hand and examine it carefully.

As expected, it included introductions to the two auction models, as well as other information. After reading it, Lu Qingfeng finally had a more comprehensive understanding of the Mystic Origin Auction.

Seeing Lu Qingyu watching eagerly from the side, Lu Qingfeng poured his True Essence into the Azure Jade Disc, manifesting numerous auction items in front of him just like Zhou Yuan, and then handed the Azure Jade Disc to Qingyu.

Lu Qingyu examined the various information about the Mystic Origin Auction in the jade disc.

Lu Qingfeng then browsed the items up for auction.

Each item had a reserve price and a current bidding price. Lu Qingfeng observed that even before the auction officially began, many items had already attracted bidders.

For some popular items, the bidding price is even fluctuating frequently, exceeding the reserve price by a significant margin.

"The auction uses cultivation items such as Spirit Stone, Jade Dew, and Spirit Pearl as general equivalents for bidding. If you don't have enough Spirit Stone, you can also bid with your Law Artifact, elixirs, or other items. Mystic Origin Sect has professional appraisers who can appraise and give an estimate at any time."

"There are also items up for auction, but they are not bid on with Spirit Stone; only specific items are offered."

Lu Qingfeng browsed through them one by one.

It was discovered that most of these auction items were priced in Spirit Stone.

Price--

"In the cultivation world, there are indeed countless people with abundant wealth."

Lu Qingfeng gave a wry smile.

He set his sights on a First-Rank Dharma Artifact called the 'Sensing Pearl'. This Law Artifact could sense the presence of an opponent within a hundred miles by using their aura, providing warnings and roughly indicating their location.

If used properly, it can have unexpected effects.

However, quite a few cultivators have their eyes on the Sensing Pearl.

The starting price of the Sensing Pearl was thirty Spirit Stone, but the price kept rising, doubling and showing no signs of stopping.

A few dozen Spirit Stone weren't much to Lu Qingfeng, but this was only a First-Rank Dharma Artifact. It was hard to imagine how fierce the bidding would be if Fifth-Rank Dharma Artifact appeared at the auction later.

"It's best to save the Spirit Stone for bidding on the Purple-Gold Copper."

"As for this Sensing Pearl— "

Lu Qingfeng placed his palm on it, and with a thought, a Jade Slip fell from his sleeve and disappeared into it.

Not long after.

A line of large characters appeared before me—

[Technique Method: Water Dragon Chant]

[Grade: Mid-tier]

[Estimated value: 200 Spirit Stone]

"Can."

Lu Qingfeng nodded, and immediately the writing faded, and two hundred Spirit Stone fell in front of Lu Qingfeng.

Elder Lu.

Zhou Yuan was also browsing through the many auction items when he noticed Lu Qingfeng's movements and couldn't help but look over.

"Sold some things."

Lu Qingfeng laughed upon seeing this.

The Technique Method are precious.

Initial-Grade Spell are fine, but only a few high-quality or unorthodox ones are valuable.

However, Mid-Grade Spell are relatively rare.

The Sunset Glow Sect is a sect of moderate size, yet it only possesses two Mid-Grade Spell, highlighting the rarity and value of Mid-Grade Spell.

What Lu Qingfeng just took out was a Mid-Grade Spell.

The Mystic Origin Auction someone appraise it and determined that the sect did not possess this Technique Method. They then gave a high estimate. Lu Qingfeng nodded in agreement, and received two hundred Spirit Stone.

The Mystic Origin Sect can then break the seal left by Lu Qingfeng in the Jade Slip.

Prior to this, Mystic Origin Sect appraisers could only see detailed information about 'Water Dragon Chant' and some of the Method Formula, which could be used to verify its value and authenticity, but it was difficult to practice.

Only by breaking the seal can one see the whole thing.

Given the size of the Mystic Origin Sect, it's unlikely they would forcibly break the seal and damage their reputation before agreeing on a price.

Lu Qingfeng wasn't worried.

"Just an ordinary Mid-Grade Spell."

"Two hundred Spirit Stone."

Two hundred Spirit Stone are enough to buy a Second-Rank Dharma Artifact of ordinary quality.

Only the Mystic Origin Sect could have such a grand gesture.

If it were the Sunset Glow Sect, with two Mid-Grade Spell already in hand, they would never spend two hundred Spirit Stone to buy a third Mid-Grade Spell.

If a rogue Rogue Cultivator already possesses Mid-Grade Spell, they wouldn't be willing to spend so many Spirit Stones to purchase another Mid-Grade Spell.

However, the Mystic Origin Sect is a large and powerful family, and it collects all kinds of Technique Method and Secret Method in order to strengthen its foundation.

The sect has countless disciples, and even if only one or two disciples choose to practice this Technique Method each year, after hundreds or thousands of years, two hundred Spirit Stone would be enough to break even.

Two hundred Spirit Stone for a Mid-Grade Spell might seem outrageous to small sects and Rogue Cultivator, but the Mystic Origin Sect thought it was a good deal.

This is the difference that arises from different statuses and pursuits.

But for Lu Qingfeng, it was a good thing.

"Really."

"My greatest treasure is not the more than three thousand Spirit Stone, nor the various eighth-order Law Artifact that have not yet been refined, but the numerous enhanced and unenhanced Technique Method and Cultivation Method, as well as the numerous Fusion and Fusion Technique Method and Cultivation Method."

"These Technique Method and Cultivation Method are mostly derived from games; you rarely encounter the exact same Technique Method in reality."

"It's expensive."

"There are even various Pill Formula and methods for refining various Law Artifact."

Lu Qingfeng put away the two hundred Spirit Stone, a smile playing on his lips.

In the game, he collected countless Technique Method and Cultivation Method, strengthened and Fusion, and created many unique Technique Method and Cultivation Method.

After reaching the second level of the Yellow Court Scripture, the "Evolving Method" feature gained additional analytical functions, and Lu Qingfeng obtained countless Pill Formulas and methods for refining Law Artifact.

These are all immense fortunes.

Even the collections of top immortal sects cannot compare to those of Lu Qingfeng alone.

Leaving aside Divine Ability Transcendent-Grade Spell Profound Grade, and Orthodox-Grade Cultivation Method, it would be a good thing to be able to exchange a few mid-to- High-Grade Spell, Refined Grade, and Unorthodox-Grade Cultivation Method for a large number of Spirit Stone.

However, this is only a transitional phase.

Lu Qingfeng has already released the two Ironfire Ants. When they return and lay their Ironfire Ant Eggs, the Ironfire Ants will grow in number and produce Refined Crystal, which will allow Lu Qingfeng to continuously earn a large amount of Spirit Stone, and even exchange them for a large amount of rare materials and spirit medicine.

It's yet another inexhaustible 'Spirit Stone mine'.
