"There are three bottles of True Essence Pills in total, each starting at five hundred spirit stones. Each bid must increase by at least ten spirit stones. Bidding for the first bottle begins now."
"Five hundred and twenty spirit stones!"
"Five hundred and fifty spirit stones!"
"Five hundred and eighty spirit stones!"
"Six hundred and thirty spirit stones!"
The price climbed rapidly, reaching seven hundred spirit stones before long. Only then did the number of bidders dwindle.
The first bottle finally sold for seven hundred and twenty spirit stones.
Soon, the second and third bottles sold for similar prices.
"Next up for auction are the Jade Fungus Pills. I imagine none of you have heard of these before." Xu Chuan smiled faintly. "That is because I developed them myself.
Their main ingredient is five-thousand-year-old earthcore jade marrow fungus, which I obtained by chance. Combined with other spirit herbs, it produces an effect comparable to a Foundation Establishment Pill.
Because of this main ingredient, these pills are scarce. Only three remain at present.
Of course, if anyone obtains earthcore jade marrow fungus more than five thousand years old, you may ask me to refine it for you."
"Five-thousand-year-old earthcore jade marrow fungus! No wonder it has such an effect. It would even be quite effective for breaking through the bottleneck to Foundation Establishment late stage," the Jiang Household's Foundation Establishment cultivator remarked. "You truly are fortunate, Fellow Daoist Xu."
Xu Chuan continued, "Bidding starts at one thousand spirit stones, with each increase no less than twenty spirit stones. The first round of bidding begins now."
For many of the Foundation Establishment Clans present, these Jade Fungus Pills were among their reasons for coming.
Competition was even fiercer.
In just a few dozen breaths, the price had reached eighteen hundred spirit stones.
