These people bought and sold White Spirit here year-round, so their estimates of its value were exceptionally accurate. They could basically guarantee the most standard market price.
And if one was lucky, it could even sell for more than usual. Like Qiu Pingyang—he had previously been preparing a banquet for honored guests and had been desperately short of a White Spirit. If he had joined the bidding then, he would certainly have offered a higher price.
The seven or eight of them chimed in one after another, driving the price of the White Spirit ever higher. Only when someone finally bid 5,300 jade did the auction come to an end.
Lu Ye handed the White Spirit to that person and received 5,300 jade in return. The transaction was complete.
There was no need to fear taking a loss. Auctions like this basically never resulted in losses, and they spared him the hassle of finding a buyer himself. Though White Spirit was never difficult to sell, making a trip back to Myriad Phenomena Island would still cost Lu Ye considerable time.
The seven or eight people gathered nearby dispersed to wait for other opportunities. The cultivator who had obtained the White Spirit directly summoned a ferry boat and swiftly departed, clearly intending to take it back and deal with it. The fresher a White Spirit was, the more delicious it was, and the more valuable it was when refined into pills. Even though it would not spoil inside a Storage Ring, leaving it there too long was still inappropriate.
Thus, generally speaking, once a White Spirit had left the water, within two or three days it would either enter someone's belly or be refined into pills. No one would keep it stored away for later.
