Chapter 201
201 Two big pits in the cultivation world
The auction continued.
As the subsequent items in the auction became more precious, it also attracted more people to compete for it.
Even the people in the room.
Now, they were no longer watching and started to bid.
Qin shujian finally found what he was looking for on the 38th to 39th pages of the book.
Forging the ancestral Codex!
The Azure elixir armor!
The classification given was auxiliary martial arts, but the grade surprised him.
The former was a low tier spiritual grade!
The latter was a mid-tier spiritual grade!
Any martial art that touched the spiritual level was extremely precious in the true Dominion.
However, the starting price of these two martial arts techniques left Qin shujian a little dumbfounded.
It wasn’t too high.
It was because it was too low.
The starting price was 50000 taels!
The price of the worst high-grade true rank martial arts was around 50000 taels of silver. The better ones could even go up to 70000 taels of silver or even 100000 taels.
By comparison.
The starting price of the two spiritual level martial arts was fifty thousand taels, which was a little too low.
Then, Qin shujian flipped through the pages again.
There were also some more precious items at the back.
For example, there were high-grade truth-tier cultivation techniques, low-grade spirit weapons, and even exotic flowers and fruits that could increase one’s cultivation power.
However, there was one thing that happened without exception.
The starting price of these items was higher than the two spiritual level martial arts.
“This time, we’re auctioning off a long sword named Zhangyuan beihong. It’s currently a half-step spirit weapon, but a master blacksmith has appraised it and said that if it’s nourished with true essence day and night, it has a slight chance of becoming a low-grade spirit weapon.
The starting price is two hundred thousand taels, and each increment must not be lower than ten thousand taels!”
The words fell.
Someone immediately made a bid.
“Three hundred thousand!”
“Three hundred and fifty thousand!”
“Three hundred and seventy thousand!”
“..”
Without any rest, the price soared all the way to five hundred thousand taels.
When he saw this.
Qin shujian was also speechless.
A half-step spirit weapon being so expensive was out of his expectations.
However, it was easy to guess.
A half-step spirit weapon might not be that valuable, but the other party’s mention of a chance to upgrade to a low-grade spirit weapon had caused the price to skyrocket.
It was different from a sharp weapon.
Any weapon that entered the ranks of spirit weapons could not be mentioned in the same breath.
“Seven hundred thousand!” A voice slowly came out of the room.
But after a long time, it was drowned out by other voices.
“Seven hundred and fifty thousand!”
“Seven hundred and seventy thousand!”
“Eight hundred thousand!”
The price continued to rise, and very quickly, it was approaching the one million mark.
At this time.
The bidding had obviously slowed down.
After all, it was only a half-step spirit tool and not a true spirit tool. Even if there was a slight possibility of it advancing, no one could be sure how long it would take.
A few hundred thousand taels was already the limit.
It would be even more expensive.
That would not be worth it at all.
Finally …
The price of this half-step spirit weapon stopped at one million one hundred and thirty thousand taels, and the person in the private room obtained it.
“They’re all rich people!”
Qin shujian sighed with emotion.
Currently, the amount of silver that sky origin sect could take out was less than two million.
Right now, a half-step spirit weapon had practically brought out all of Yuan sect’s assets.
He had thought he was quite rich.
Now that he compared them, he suddenly realized.
So …
He was still poor.
Qin shujian couldn’t remain calm when he saw the one million taels of silver in his storage ring.
According to his original plan.
This amount of silver was more than enough to buy the two martial arts.
However, looking at the current situation, if a local tycoon were to intervene, it was still a question whether the one million taels of silver would be enough.
Following the successful auction of a half-step spirit weapon.
The auction had entered a new climax.
As the items were auctioned off and the prices were closed one after another, Qin shujian felt that his heart was constantly being attacked by the rich.
In the end, he came to a conclusion.
Among the people present.
In terms of poverty, no one was his match.
Qin shujian’s spirits suddenly lifted when the auction of an item ended. His eyes peeked through the window screen to observe the movements in the auction hall.
Another veiled woman handed over a sandalwood box that was about a foot long.
After Yue Shihong received the box, he immediately said, “”As we all know, besides being born from heaven and earth, only the Grandmaster blacksmiths with the best skills are qualified to forge unparalleled spiritual weapons.
Right now, I have a smithing technique in my hands, and it’s a low tier spiritual tier one. Anyone who obtains it will have the chance to become a Grandmaster blacksmith.
The starting price is 50000 taels of silver, and each increment must not be lower than 10000 taels!”
The scene instantly fell silent, and the previous excitement was completely gone.
Yue Shihong was smiling, but he was feeling a little awkward.
If it were any other low class spiritual martial arts, there would be a large number of people fighting to bid for it even if it was 500000, let alone 50000.
However …
This was a forging-type martial art.
Anyone could tell.
Forging and alchemy were two big pits in the cultivation world.
If he wanted to have some achievements, he had to invest a steady stream of resources. This kind of investment was far from what the value of one or two martial arts techniques could replace.
Even to the extent that …
Even if an aristocratic family or sect were to exhaust all their resources, they might not be able to nurture a Grandmaster Alchemist or a master blacksmith.
If he could not become a master.
Even if they were to be nurtured, it would be of no use.
There was once a sect that had spent tens of millions of taels of silver, but in the end, they only managed to cultivate a middle-grade Alchemist who could only refine pills suitable for martial entry-level consumption.
Finally …
That sect had directly declined, and now, it had already disappeared.
It was similar to such an example.
It was common in the cultivation world.
Therefore, a smithing technique was not a problem of 50000 taels of silver, but the problem of spending a large amount of money to fill this huge hole after the auction.
Just as Yue Shihong was about to break the awkward silence …
A voice rang out.
It directly broke the silence.
“Sixty thousand taels!”
When the voice came out, many people looked towards a certain wing.
They all wanted to know which force had the confidence to take down the cultivation world.
Unfortunately …
They couldn’t see anything with the window screen.
“Sixty thousand going once!”
“Sixty thousand going twice!”
“Deal!”
When Yue Shihong saw that no one else was bidding, he also ended the bidding.
Then, the auction for the next item began.
In the private room.
The corners of Qin shujian’s lips curled up into a smile. He had to admit that he had completely exceeded his expectations to be able to obtain a spiritual tier inferior-grade forging technique for sixty thousand taels of silver.
He had not expected this.
No one actually wanted this kind of thing.
Looking at the storage ring, he could still use more than 900000 taels.
There wouldn’t be any major problems with the Azure elixir vortex.
Immediately after.
Yue Shihong also began the auction of the next item. The starting price of the Azure heaven elixir was also 50000 taels, perhaps because it was a mid-tier spiritual-grade item.
This time, not long after the auction started, someone called out a bid.
Qin shujian sat still and allowed the others to call out their bids one by one.
When it was about time.
“100000 taels of silver!” He immediately said.
“One hundred and fifty thousand!”
Very quickly, another voice drowned out his bid.
“Two hundred thousand!”
Qin shujian’s expression didn’t look too good when he was suddenly covered by someone. He looked out the window and saw that the voice was coming from another room.
What did that mean?
Could it be that no one wanted the forging techniques earlier, but now there were people fighting for the alchemy techniques?
He looked at the silver in the storage ring.
Qin shujian made up his mind and continued to bid, “”Two hundred and ten thousand!”
“Three hundred thousand!”
“Three hundred and ten thousand taels!”
“Four hundred thousand!”
“Bang!”
Qin shujian’s face was filled with anger. He slammed his palm heavily on the table.
What did the other party mean by this!
He was clearly using money to pressure him!
To think that he, sect leader Qin, had never been looked down upon by anyone in the cultivation world for so long.
In another private room.
A middle-aged man and an old man were sitting there.
The middle-aged man was dressed luxuriously. He wore a thick jade ring on each of his thumbs as he chuckled at the old man beside him.
“Don’t worry, old Gu. The nine rivers sect has never been afraid of anyone, whether it’s money or strength. This time, the Azure pill carriage will be in our hands.”
“With sect Master Li here, I naturally believe you.” Old Gu also had a faint smile on his face.
At this moment.
In another room, Qin shujian suppressed his anger and continued to bid, “”Four hundred and ten thousand taels!”
“Fifty …”
I’m Qin shujian from the yuan sect. Are you willing to give me some face? ”
“..”
Sect Master Li and old Gu’s faces stiffened. They were about to continue bidding, but they stopped.
Yuan sect!
Qin shujian!
Now, Li Fei had the urge to turn around and leave.
He had just bragged in front of the other party that he would definitely be able to get the heaven Azure elixir gourd.
But now …
However, he felt as if something was stuck in his throat, and he could not shout out the price no matter what.
Not just him.
Even old Gu’s expression turned ugly. In the end, he shook his head and sighed, “”Sect Master Li, forget it. You don’t need the Azure elixir armor!”
“We’ll do as old Gu says!”
Li Fei suddenly took advantage of the situation, but at the same time, he still felt a little scared.
Who was Qin shujian?
He was the kind of person who would bear grudges for the slightest dispute, the kind who would take revenge for the smallest grievance.
Many people had already heard the reason for the destruction of the seven sects.
However, when they were exploring the treasure land, there was a fight over the spiritual object. After sect leader Qin obtained the spiritual object, he returned and led the experts of his sect to destroy all the sects of the participants.
If Qin shujian were to bear a grudge against him because he had bid for an alchemy technique during the auction …
Li Fei thought.
His heart trembled slightly.
He would be letting down the ancestors of the nine rivers sect.
At this moment.
Not only Li Fei and the others, but the entire auction hall was also silent. That simple sentence from earlier had given everyone a huge shock.
No one had expected this.
The Grandmaster of sky origin sect was actually here as well.
