Foundation Establishment Pill Auction

As the auction price was announced, a three-foot-long fish tank appeared in Qiu Xianyun's hand.

The fish tank is made entirely of white jade and is covered with Spirit Patterns.

Through the white jade, you can see a huge, bluish-green jade tadpole inside the fish tank!

With a flick of his finger, Qiu Xianyun unleashed a water arrow technique that shot towards the tadpoles.

The next moment, the water arrow collided head-on with an ice arrow spell and was instantly shattered. The ice arrow spell even seemed to be heading towards Qiu Xianyun.

The jade tadpole appeared unusually agitated.

At that moment, Qiu Xianyun also placed a Spirit Talisman, and the large vat flashed with spiritual light, sealing the cold jade tadpole along with the ice arrow technique.

"The Cold Jade Toad larvae, starting bid 1000 Spirit Stone, each bid must be at least ten Spirit Stone higher!" Qiu Xianyun announced.

"One thousand one hundred Spirit Stone!"

"One thousand two hundred Spirit Stone!"

The price of Spirit Stone continued to soar, and even Ye Jingcheng, at this moment, was filled with excitement.

He's currently missing a Wood Attribute Spirit Beast. Although this Cold Jade Toad is of the ice and wind attribute, it has good potential. Buying it and selling it to the Lineage would be a good idea.

Moreover, at this moment, the Treasure Book also flashed with light, and two images floated across it, indicating that the Cold Jade Toad could advance its bloodline twice more.

Although it's not as good as the Golden-Scaled Beast, Ye Jingcheng still thinks it's quite good.

It's just a pity he can't afford it!

As time went by, the Cold Jade Tadpole reached 2,300 Spirit Stone.

Although such large markets have many treasures and many Spirit Beast Cubs, by the same token, there are also many people who understand Spirit Beast.

Unless it's a severely injured and dying Spirit Beast, it's almost impossible for Ye Jingcheng to get a bargain.

The purpose of this visit was to observe the auction firsthand. If the first item fetched a price, others wouldn't suspect anything, but Xu Haoshui from the Xu Family and the two Li Family brothers would definitely be suspicious.

Ye Jingcheng could distinguish between what was important and what was not.

The Cold Jade Tadpole eventually reached a high price of 2,400 Spirit Stone.

In fact, the price of a normal Frost Jade Tadpole is probably between 1,600 and 1,800 Spirit Stone.

But Qiu Xianyun's demonstration was the real reason why everyone paid a premium for his services.

It's not difficult for an ice arrow to break a water arrow, but the problem is that this jade tadpole is still a juvenile, and it's Qiu Xianyun's water arrow that has been shattered.

Even according to the Ye Family's assessment methods, its value would indeed be increased by 10% or 20%.

For Ye Jingcheng, a premium of one or two times is acceptable.

Ye Haiyi glanced at Ye Jingcheng and, seeing that the latter hadn't even called out a price, felt much relieved.

He knew Ye Jingcheng's Cultivation Method and that sometimes cultivators needed to seize fortuitous opportunity, but Ye Jingcheng's composure was the most commendable quality.

"First-Tier Superior-Grade spirit medicine Cold Jade Grass, aged for a hundred years, starting bid is two hundred Spirit Stone!"

The second item was noticeably of a lower quality.

Qiu Xianyun opened a jade box, and inside appeared a jade-like plant.

Qiu Xianyun then took out another mirror and sprinkled a layer of water droplets on it.

The next moment, it turned into a layer of ice.

"Each bid must be at least five Spirit Stones!" Qiu Xianyun's professionalism was excellent, far surpassing the pretentious posturing of the auctioneers at Taihang Marketplace.

Master Qiu has meticulously controlled every detail.

Of course, it's not that the auctioneers at Taihang Marketplace are bad. After all, the auctioneers are different. One is Foundation Establishment Lineage, Foundation Establishment Rogue Cultivator, and Qi Refining Peak cultivators, while the other is basically all Rogue Cultivator.

It's possible that if Master Qiu went to Taihang Marketplace, the results would be much less effective.

The Cold Jade Grass and the Cold Jade Toad larvae clearly originated from the same icy pool.

The final price of this Cold Jade Grass was 380 Spirit Stone.

This is roughly the same price as Ye Jingcheng estimated.

Qiu Xianyun was clearly not satisfied with the price. He waved his hand again, and a waiter brought over a jade plate. The brocade cloth on the plate was lifted to reveal a sky-blue water plant.

The water plants shimmered with a spiritual light, accompanied by wisps of mist gathering.

Ye Jingcheng's breathing became rapid.

This spiritual herb was the Water Cloud Grass he had been searching for.

Moreover, judging the age of Water Cloud Grass is also very easy. Look at its length; if it reaches one foot in length and has more than three leaves, it is about 100 years old.

The Water Cloud Grass before them certainly fits the bill.

"A first-grade top-quality spiritual herb, Water Cloud Grass, takes a hundred years to mature. Its leaves grow a single leaf every thirty years and reach a foot in length every hundred years. This herb is a universal alchemy material with Water Attribute and can be used in many Pill Formulas, including as an auxiliary material for the second-grade Water Cloud Water Cloud Grass..."

Qiu Xianyun continued to explain, as he was Alchemist with a wealth of experience in this field.

Ye Jingcheng, on the other hand, looked rather displeased. His explanation was so clear; the competition at the auction would be fierce.

Unlike Spirit Beast, Ye Jingcheng's current identity, Tang Haobo, possesses both Fire Spiritual Root, making it perfectly normal for him to purchase Water Attribute spirit medicine.

Therefore, he was determined to win this time.

"Alright, enough with the introductions. The starting bid for this Water Cloud Grass is 500 Spirit Stone, and each bid must be at least 5 spirit stones higher!"

Five hundred and ten!

"Five hundred and twenty!"

The bidding was quite lively, but only a few bids went up significantly.

"Eight hundred and fifty Spirit Stone!" Ye Jingcheng skipped many prices and offered a high bid.

"Nine hundred Spirit Stone!" another voice rang out, and Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but frown.

This is the cultivator in the Purple Mansion private room on the second floor, and it is none other than Xu Haoshui. Even Ye Jingcheng is very familiar with his voice.

"Nine hundred and five!" After hesitating for a moment, Ye Jingcheng raised the price again.

"Nine hundred and fifty!" Xu Haoshui didn't hesitate for a moment.

Ye Jingcheng wanted to add more, but then he noticed Ye Haiyi looking at him.

At this moment, a voice also rang out from among the Rogue Cultivator nearby:

"Nine hundred and eighty Spirit Stone!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Jingcheng immediately understood and bid another nine hundred and eighty-five. After the Rogue Cultivator bid nine hundred and ninety, Ye Jingcheng gave up with a helpless expression and sat down.

What sharpened Ye Jingcheng's eyes was that Xu Haoshui indeed did not raise the price again!

It was as if they were going to haggle with Ye Jingcheng.

This made Ye Jingcheng's eyes narrow involuntarily.

"Next up for auction is a top-grade first-tier magic Law Artifact, named the Starlight Mountain-Splitting Axe. The handle is made of black-veined wood, the tip of the axe is made of starlight stone, and it is tempered with heavy iron. The axe itself weighs a thousand catties. Under the starry sky, this axe automatically absorbs starlight and can be regarded as nothing!"

The treasures that followed gradually included top-tier first-class magical Law Artifact, each one extremely powerful.

This made Ye Jingcheng realize the gravity of the situation.

We need to be more cautious when facing enemy cultivators in the future, otherwise these treasures will not be much weaker even if they fall into the hands of a Qi Refining Stage 7 cultivator.

In the private room on the second floor, Xu Wencheng of the Xu Family looked at Xu Haoshui with some surprise. He knew that in his memory, Xu Haoshui was not a cultivator who would bid recklessly.

"Fourth Uncle, this involves some matters that I cannot disclose, but I have doubts about whether this person is Rogue Cultivator!"

"You doubt it?"

"Yes, I think he's the Ye Family member we're looking for. Maybe they're also here for the Purple Palace Jade Liquid!"

"My nephew just wanted to test his limits on Spirit Stone!"

"He was one of those who took a picture on the temple wall this time. Although he was wearing Spirit-Isolating Robe, the Spirit-Isolating Robe of Rogue Cultivator all have some flaws, and my nephew just happens to be good at a Spirit Eyes Law Technique!" Xu Haoshui said unhurriedly.

The private rooms in this auction hall are protected by Array, so he wasn't worried about being overheard.

"Oh!" Xu Wencheng replied meaningfully.

"The Chu Family and the Ye Family are quite interesting, but the Chen Family and the Li Family seem much more honest!"

"Fourth Uncle, of course they are honest. They have witnessed the strength of our Xu Family. How could they be so presumptuous? As for the Mo Family, they have truly wasted the prestige of the Purple Mansion Lineage!" Xu Haoshui said disdainfully.

"Haoshui, you need to change this attitude. Don't underestimate any Lineage. Remember, even when facing a Qi Refining Lineage, you must use your full attention and strength. Many ants can kill an elephant. The Lineage is raising you not to be someone else's stepping stone!"

"Not to mention established Lineage like the Mo Family and Ye Family..." Xu Wencheng immediately admonished.

Upon hearing this, Xu Haoshui repeatedly lowered his head to admit his mistake, but his eyes didn't change much. The more he understood the strength of his Lineage, the more arrogant and confident he became.

"However, let them fight it out today. Besides, I want to see if they have enough Spirit Stone by the end of the auction!" Xu Wencheng sneered.

The auction continued, and after dozens of top-grade first-tier magic Law Artifact had been auctioned off, Qiu Xianyun clapped his hands once again.

Ten female cultivators dressed in thin purple gauze robes came up carrying jade platters.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the most exciting Foundation Establishment auction—has arrived!"

"There are fifty Foundation Establishment this time. The first ten will be sold individually, and the remaining forty will be sold in bundles of two!"

Qiu Xianyun took a plate, lifted the brocade cloth, and revealed five pill bottles, each containing a golden pill.

He opened a jade bottle, and a rich Spiritual Qi burst forth, sweeping towards the crowd.

Qiu Xianyun sealed the elixir bottle:

"The auction for the first Foundation Establishment begins! Starting price is eight thousand spirit stones, and each bid must increase by at least one hundred Spirit Stone!"

"Nine thousand!"

"Ten thousand!"

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng saw that those Rogue Cultivators had almost gone mad!

Prices have surged time and again.

Ye Jingcheng understood that these Rogue Cultivators were worried that if the Lineage cultivators made a move, they would have no chance.

At this point, Ye Haiyi also began to make his bid:

"Fourteen thousand Spirit Stone!"

Ye Jingcheng suddenly realized that they were now also Rogue Cultivator...

"Fifteen thousand Spirit Stone!" Even with Ye Haiyi's high bid, someone still beat him to it.

As Rogue Cultivator, he can basically only sell items individually at auctions; otherwise, even if he manages to acquire two, he wouldn't dare leave Taichang Market.

"Sixteen thousand Spirit Stone!" Ye Haiyi spoke again, raising the price by another thousand Spirit Stone.

"Seventeen thousand Spirit Stone!" the cultivators who had raised the price said at the same time.

Ye Haiyi slumped into a chair, glanced at Ye Jingcheng as if asking about Ye Jingcheng's Spirit Stone, and then remained silent.

Even so, the price of Foundation Establishment is still rising.

It finally sold for a high price of 18,300 Spirit Stone.
