A High-Priced Finale, Chiyuan Destroyed!
After all the Law Artifact, formations, talismans, and elixirs had been applied,
The atmosphere in the venue had reached a fever pitch, with countless eyes focused on the entrance to the auction hall...
Many people even craned their necks to peer inside.
Some people even stood up, prompting a group of others to follow suit!
Next up is the grand finale of this Auction, something that many powerful forces have come here to vie for...
now--
A beautiful female cultivator, dressed in a black cheongsam with a slit that reached her chest, swayed as she entered the venue...
The rabbit kept hopping up and down, as if it were about to leap out of the water. The saying "viewed from the side, it's a ridge; viewed from the front, it's a peak" perfectly describes this situation!
Each step of it--
They will all reveal their graceful figures and subtle, almost imperceptible secrets!
Her skin was as smooth as mutton fat jade, so soft and supple that it seemed as if you could squeeze water out of it with a gentle touch...
All eyes are on this!
I don't know if he was looking at the beautiful woman or at the elixir bottle on the tray...
It's like something out of a dream—a stunning beauty—that you want to devour completely, to ravage and play with. Of course, I'm referring to the elixir bottle.
"The last item, and also the highlight of this Auction: Qi Condensation Pill!"
"I won't elaborate on its effects!"
Starting bid: 100 Spirit Stone!
"Highest bidder wins!"
Having said that--
Qin Wu stepped aside, leaving the stage to the true protagonist!
For a moment, countless heavy breaths echoed in everyone's ears, as if the small bottle possessed some kind of magic...
He firmly fixed everyone's attention on him!
Just then, a cultivator in the second-floor cubicle broke the silence, shouting first:
"Fellow Daoists, while the Qi Condensation Pill is valuable, it doesn't justify such a high price..."
"I will offer one hundred and twenty Spirit Stone!"
"At this price, you could already buy two Origin-Nurturing Spiritual Object. Please, everyone, exercise restraint!"
Upon hearing this—
Many people scoffed at this statement, saying that the reason why Qi Condensation Pill are so sought after is precisely because of their 30% success rate in Qi Condensation...
Even the best Origin-Nurturing Spiritual Object can only increase the probability of Qi Condensation by a maximum of 25%.
And the Qi Condensation Pill—
It is currently the only product discovered in the cultivation world that can increase the probability of Qi Condensation by 30%, and its effect can be considered the pinnacle of this type of spiritual item...
Secondly--
Even if using Qi Condensation Pill to break through will cause the foundation to become unstable, its powerful effects allow the user to absorb more Spiritual Power...
Therefore, they are highly sought after by many cultivators, although the amount of Spiritual Power cannot completely determine the strength of a cultivator...
But being able to hold more Spiritual Power is always a good thing.
This shows the importance of the Qi Condensation Pill!
One hundred and forty Spirit Stone!
"Just say you can't afford it. Why are you showing off here, you lowly commoner?"
One hundred and fifty Spirit Stone!
One hundred and sixty!
One hundred and sixty-seven!
As prices rise, the rate of increase slows down...
Until an elderly cultivator shook his head and said:
"Everyone, stop arguing. I've already capped the price at 180 Spirit Stone. This Qi Condensation Pill..."
"I'll accept it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an aura of a Qi Condensation High Stage expert swept across the entire venue!
Judging from this posture, they're planning to use force to intimidate others!
now--
The room fell silent. Clearly, no one present wanted to offend a Qi Condensation High Stage expert.
Some people were displeased and wanted to raise the price, but they were stopped by their own people who shook their heads at them, signaling them not to act impulsively.
Putting everything else aside, if we were to bid now, not only would we offend this senior, but we would also waste a lot of Spirit Stone. This Qi Condensation Pill, though good...
But as this senior colleague said...
One hundred and eighty Spirit Stone is already the maximum price for Qi Condensation Pill. This price is only possible because cultivators are currently suffering significant losses...
That's why it's priced like this; if it were more than ten years ago...
At most, it'll be 120-150 Spirit Stone!
Finally, as the gavel fell, the Qi Condensation Pill was sold for 180 Spirit Stone —an astonishingly high price...
After all, the Qi Condensation Pill is, in the end, just a pill.
One pill, one hundred and eighty Spirit Stone.
It's almost equivalent to a Second-Tier formation, or one or two good Second-Tier Law Artifact, and is considered incredibly expensive among Second-Tier pills!
"Make a deal!"
Two weeks later--
With the Auction concluded, the Chuanlong Minor Gathering also came to an end...
Although the crowd dispersed like the tide.
However, there were still quite a few independent Rogue Cultivator left behind, and many of them Rogue Cultivator down here, making it their final resting place.
These outsiders would be registered and undergo a long process of naturalization...
Ultimately, he was completely integrated into the Qin Clan!
This is what the Qin Clan wants to see. Only with more and more people joining them will there be more manpower to take over and develop various regions...
The Su Clan and Gan Clan.
After a period of communication, the details were initially finalized...
Soon after, the Su Clan and Gan Clan officially announced their allegiance to the Beichuan Qin Family and the Lingyun Su Clan, and announced that they would move their clan territory to the lower reaches of the Huai River on a chosen date.
Then--
The Xuan River Zhang Clan withdrew their forces from the upper reaches of the Huai River, handing them over to the Qin Clan, and re-allocated a resource point...
Its name is: [Huai Water Cave]
This is a naturally formed underwater cave, which can cultivate various Water Dao Spirit Plant, forming a new planting area!
The Grand Canal, connecting the Huai River Ying River, also commenced construction...
Led by the Qin Clan, with the Su and Gan families assisting.
A total of 100,000 laborers and 500 Warrior were mobilized to start work simultaneously from two locations to excavate the Huai-Ying Canal, which was expected to be completed in three to five years.
Once the canal is opened, it will become the main commercial route between Longchuan and Muyun Prefecture!
By then--
Whether it's the merchant guilds of Longchuan Prefecture or Muyun Prefecture, waterways are the preferred mode of transport for trade between the two counties...
It will also spur various forces along the waterway!
Starting from the Lingyun Su Clan, the journey will travel upstream along the Huai River to Longchuan, then through the Huai-Ying Grand Canal, upstream along the Ying River, and finally to the Qinchuan region!
Spanning two prefectures, three clans, and several large cities...
Ba City -- Muxuan Mountain -- Qin Palace
On an otherwise ordinary day, an urgent confidential report was swiftly delivered to Qin Xiao...
Upon reviewing the document, Qin Xiao immediately stood up, his eyes filled with disbelief. He read it over and over again, until he had finished reading it word by word.
Qin Xiao slowly sat down, still somewhat bewildered...
He murmured to himself:
"Chiyuan State..."
"Destroyed?!"
"The Daliang Core Formation Ancestor, together with the Da Zhou Ancestor and a newly Core Formation True Person, besieged the Chiyuan State Ancestor..."
"Later, the patriarch of the Daliang perished together with the patriarch of the Chiyuan State."
"The newly Core Formation True Person, titled: Demon-Quelling True Person!"
"He then took over the position in Daliang!"
