The Next Auction Item

They originally planned to use a batch of thirty mid-grade Spirit Absorption Pill as the first step. The effects of these pills were far inferior to those of high-grade pills, and they were priced at twenty Spirit Stone each in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

The price of a high-grade Spirit Absorption Pill is different. In Yuanling City, where high-level Alchemist are rare, a high-grade Spirit Absorption Pill can sell for two hundred spirit Spirit Stone. Even in cities with more high-level Alchemist, a Spirit Absorption Pill can sell for more than one hundred Spirit Stone.

Far exceeding the pricing of the Lingxian Sect.

However, this time the Spirit Absorption Pill wasn't about making a lot of Spirit Stone. How many Spirit Stone do these sects in the Mortal Realm have right now? Even if we emptied their coffers, what difference would it make?

Lingxian Sect never intended to engage in one-off transactions. Only by bringing together all the sects in the Mortal Realm, creating a mutually beneficial relationship, could a long-term business be established.

Soon, a new box appeared on the small table next to Liu Yunan.

This box is bigger than the pill box from before.

Having started with the Spirit Absorption Pill, although the subsequent pills weren't as good as the first one, they were still far better than what they had been able to obtain in the past. Everyone now knew that the Lingxian Sect had good items, so they were all very much looking forward to the items to come.

"Next item up for auction: five jin of premium Five Grains Seeds!"

Liu Yunan opened the large box on the stage, revealing five compartments filled with various grain seeds, crammed full.

Each seed is plump and glossy; even someone unfamiliar with grains can tell that these seeds are of good quality.

The spirit grain seeds that the system initially gave Lin Xiao were not of particularly high quality; they were only comparable to ordinary spirit seeds in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

These high-quality spiritual seeds have been carefully cultivated over the years by the elders of the Lingxian Sect's Spirit Field Group who love farming. As long as they are carefully planted, the quality and quantity of the spiritual grains produced will be far superior to most spiritual grains in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Of course, the spiritual fields within the Lingxian Sect had long been filled with these superior seeds; those now being auctioned off were all surplus from the Lingxian Sect.

"Starting bid: 500 Spirit Stone!" Liu Yunan announced the starting bid.

However, this time, the people present did not immediately bid. Instead, they hesitated while carefully observing the spirit seeds with their Divine Sense, as if they wanted to see if these spirit seeds were worth five hundred Spirit Stone.

For various reasons, the quality of spirit grain seeds in the Mortal Realm is generally poor, and the spirit fields are not fertile enough. Therefore, although most sects have dedicated spirit fields for cultivation, the output is not very substantial.

Moreover, due to the scarcity of various Spirit Cuisine, spiritual chefs are extremely rare in the Mortal Realm, and their skills are not particularly advanced, so the Spirit Cuisine they produce cannot provide cultivators with much benefit.

Therefore, in the eyes of cultivators in the Mortal Realm, spirit valleys have always been seen as a supplement to the shortage of Spirit Stone stones and pills, something better than nothing.

Seeing that Lingxian Sect was solemnly auctioning off five catties of spirit grain seeds at its own auction, the cultivators were momentarily at a loss.

With the Spirit Absorption Pill as a starting point, the Lingxian Sect should not be treating this lightly.

But these spirit grain seeds... even if the seeds are of better quality, the spirit field isn't fertile. Even with higher quality seeds, the increased yield shouldn't be worth five hundred Spirit Stone, right?

This made them wonder if Lingxian Sect had set the wrong price.

If the starting bid is fifty Spirit Stone, they will definitely bid.

Just as everyone was still pondering, a voice suddenly came from room number nine.

"Five hundred and fifty!" The shout was crisp, decisive, and without hesitation.

The cultivators in the other private rooms looked over upon hearing the sound, filled with curiosity. They wondered who this person in the private room was and why they were taking pictures so readily.

Isn't he afraid of losing money?

Perhaps because someone had started it, bidding also came from another private room.

"Six... five hundred and sixty."

The words had barely left his mouth when someone in VIP room number nine immediately chimed in, "Seven hundred!"

The private room where the bidding had started earlier fell silent.

Seeing how decisively Room Nine quoted and then raised its price, the other private rooms began to suspect that Room Nine might be a shill sent by the Lingxian Sect.

Are they afraid they won't buy it, so they deliberately have someone in the private room bid to make them think the item is very valuable?

However, Liu Yunan below did not deliberately delay and wait for the next sucker to bid, as everyone thought. Instead, he did the same as before, calling out "one, two, three" and then finalizing the deal with a single hammer blow.

This inevitably made everyone a little apprehensive.

Are these seeds really that valuable, and they just don't know it?

Not only did they not understand, but even Elder Lü in VIP room number nine did not understand.

"Sect Leader, our sect has no shortage of spirit seeds, why waste seven hundred Spirit Stone to buy this thing?"

Han Shangyi knew that if he didn't explain to Elder Lü soon, Elder Lü would keep asking questions about everything he bought, so he sent him a telepathic message:

"I've heard that all the items related to 'agriculture' being auctioned this time are high-quality, and other sects probably don't realize their value yet, so it would be a very worthwhile purchase for us."

Upon hearing this, Elder Lü immediately thought of his sect leader's daughter, who had joined the Lingxian Sect.

"Your daughter told you that?"

Han Shangyi, realizing he'd been exposed, stiffened and nodded rather awkwardly. "... Yes, yes."

Elder Lü, seeing his uncomfortable expression, felt a pang of envy. "Ah, it's so good to have a daughter."

"Since Weishu has said so, let's buy it. Anyway, our sect has saved up quite a few Spirit Stone over the years."

And so.

Liu Yunan: "Next up, ten premium spirit fruit tree saplings, starting bid five hundred Spirit Stone!"

Room 9: "Eight hundred!"

Other private rooms:...

Liu Yunan: "One pound of premium spirit vegetable seeds, starting bid 200 Spirit Stone!"

Room 9: "Five hundred!"

Other private rooms:...

Several high-quality seeds and saplings were all acquired by the Clear River Sect without exception.

At this point, the other private rooms no longer suspected that the person in room number nine was a shill for the Lingxian Sect. After all, shills are there to sell things, and no shill would buy up all of their own stuff without leaving any loopholes for others.

Could it be that those seeds and saplings auctioned off were really some kind of rare and valuable stuff that they didn't recognize? Could they really yield high profits?

While everyone was still pondering, Liu Yunan made another move.

This time, however, it wasn't a box that reappeared on the small platform beside him; instead, a large bamboo cage appeared behind him.

Everyone looked over and saw that the cage contained two plump, white... piglets?

Liu Yunan stepped aside and introduced them:

"Please look, everyone. The next items to be auctioned are these two spirit piglets behind me."

"These two piglets, one male and one female, can be raised as breeding stock when they grow up, which is a great deal!"

Starting bid: 800 Spirit Stone!
