“Haha, great work!”
As soon as the blue-robed old man on the auction table finished speaking, a short gray-robed man laughed loudly and said, "I want this flower. Ten spirit crystals for it!"
He didn't even use a bidding symbol and just started bidding directly.
"It turned out to be Brother Zhou. It seems that Brother Zhou has gained new insights and is ready to reach a new level."
The old man in blue robe glanced at the short man and a smile appeared on his face.
But he immediately added: "But I'm afraid it's difficult to get these ten spirit crystals. Someone has already raised the price to fifteen spirit crystals. If you want it, you have to raise the price even more!"
The short man frowned, as if he thought the price was too high, and did not bid again.
Chen Lin sat in his seat and was also a little excited.
After thinking about it, I decided to give up. The price is indeed a bit high.
He didn't have too many spirit crystals on him, and spirit crystals and top-grade spirit stones were only interchangeable in theory. But in reality, as long as the seller specifically required spirit crystals, it would not work to pay with top-grade spirit stones.
However, compared with this price, the value of soul-related secret arts is indeed astonishing. He bought the two secret arts of Soul Thorn and Soul Wings in Black Tower City. The seller offered fifty soul crystals for them. Fortunately, he used the Soul Binding Spell to exchange them at that time, otherwise he would have used up half of his soul crystals.
Even so, he was still lucky, because after arriving in White Frost City, he never encountered soul secrets for sale again, which shows how rare they are.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but regret secretly. If he had known that spirit crystals were so valuable in the upper realm, he should have plundered them in large quantities.
Unfortunately, even in the world of immortal cultivation, where there are all kinds of exotic elixirs, there is no medicine for regret.
"Friend Chen, do you want this flower?"
Ye Luo, who was standing by, saw Chen Lin staring at the flowers on the stage without blinking, and couldn't help but ask.
Chen Lin retracted his gaze, "If I definitely want it, but I don't need it urgently, and the price is beyond my ability to bear, so forget it!"
He sighed and shook his head.
Ye Luo immediately said: "It doesn't matter, this fragrant flower is cultivated by our Ye family. There are also some like this one that have been divided for thousands of years. I will ask you for one when the time comes."
Chen Lin was stunned for a moment, then said, "That's great, thank you Brother Ye for the flowers."
The other party offered to give you the treasure, so you should accept it. Although it is worth a lot of money, he has been trapped here for so long, so he deserves some benefits.
Ye Luo's face turned slightly red and she rolled her eyes at him.
Chen Lin also felt that there was some ambiguity in these words. He smiled and said nothing more. In his heart, he was impressed by the heritage of the thousand-year-old family. They could even cultivate such natural treasures by themselves. Ordinary small families and independent cultivators could not compare at all.
Soon, this Tianxiang Qingxuan flower was sold for the price of nineteen spirit crystals.
It is impossible to confirm who bought it because the other party used a bidding symbol. There are so many people here that even if you go to the trading hall and wait for it, you may not be able to confirm it.
The Ye family's auction method does indeed maximize the protection of personal privacy and reduce the chances of being killed and robbed of treasures.
But not everyone can use this method.
This bidding talisman alone is not something that an ordinary talisman maker can refine. Chen Lin feels that it requires at least a treasure of the Lingbao level or above as the "main talisman" to have the function of allowing so many cultivators to make real-time bids. What's more, it also requires monitoring the mental power of so many people, and the level of the required formation is also higher than one can imagine.
The auction officially begins.
The treasures at the beginning were to liven up the atmosphere, but things became much more normal afterwards, with items worth dozens or hundreds of spirit stones, mainly targeting low-level cultivators.
Of course, this price is not something that the Qi-cultivating monks can afford, so they all stay far away, watching the fun from the outside and enjoying the sight.
The auction of low-end items was very fast. In less than an incense stick of time, more than twenty items were sold without a single item being left unsold.
Resources in the world of immortal cultivation are always scarce. There is only supply shortage and absolutely no overcapacity.
At this time, the old man in blue robe took a large jade bottle and said with a smile: "All the high-level Taoist friends must be sleepy. This treasure will help you to wake up."
After keeping everyone in suspense, he continued, "A large bottle of Origin Soul Liquid. I don't need to explain its specific effects. The base price is 100 top-grade spirit stones, and the minimum is 10 at a time. Fellow Daoists who practice the Soul Dao should seize the opportunity!"
Chen Lin's eyes lit up and he immediately sat up straight.
The original soul liquid is what he needs most at the moment. The purple spirit ring has been successfully repaired for several years, but no living creature has been brought to life.
The main reason is that too many souls are needed to refine the original soul liquid, and there is no place like Wanhun Ridge where ghosts gather. If souls are purchased in large quantities, it will attract too much attention, so no action has been taken for a long time.
It would be great if we could get ready-made soul liquid, and such a large bottle would be enough to support the use of the Ten Thousand Souls Creation Technique.
But before he could bid, the price of this bottle of Origin Soul Liquid had already risen to nearly three hundred top-grade spirit stones, which shows how popular this item is.
Chen Lin secretly smacked his lips.
An ordinary spiritual treasure costs about five thousand top-grade spiritual stones. If the price of this bottle of soul liquid is too high, it will be meaningless to use it to refine the purple spiritual ring.
Of course, even in this world, spiritual treasures are in short supply and can only be seen at large auctions like this.
Moreover, the value of spiritual treasures fluctuates greatly, and is closely related to their function, power, and growth potential.
For the same ordinary spiritual treasure, some may be worth less than five thousand top-grade spiritual stones, but some can reach ten thousand or even twenty thousand!
Chen Lin picked up the bidding token and used his spiritual sense to quote a price of six hundred top-grade spirit stones.
As long as the transaction is not specifically conducted using spirit crystals, it will be easy. When it comes to spirit stone reserves, he is not afraid of anyone.
However, no one competed with him, so he doubled the price in an instant, which shocked other competitors. Moreover, this price already exceeded the true value of this large bottle of Origin Soul Liquid.
The Origin Soul Liquid is precious, but it is also easy to obtain. It just takes some time to collect the soul and refine it.
It is certainly very troublesome for the righteous cultivators, but it is not that difficult for those evil cultivators who act without any taboos.
"Okay, six hundred top-grade spirit stones are sold. The successful bidder must make the delivery within half an hour after the auction ends!"
Seeing that no one continued to bid, the old man in blue robe made the final decision.
Then, it was time to trade another batch of ordinary treasures.
As time passed, Chen Lin saw many rare treasures, which not only broadened his horizons, but also allowed him to make several purchases and purchase several materials for refining Zhigodan and Shadow Puppet.
The materials for the Zhige Pill were actually gathered yesterday, but because the refining of the Guying Pill took too long, there was no time to refine it.
The auction went on without interruption and the atmosphere became increasingly heated.
Even for low-level cultivators, it is no problem to go without food, drink, defecation or urination for ten days or half a month, and they will not feel tired at all.
"An ancient jade pendant, slightly damaged, has a certain defense effect against soul attacks, and also has the effect of concealing soul aura!"
The old man in the blue robe picked up a round ink-colored jade pendant and showed it to everyone around him.
Then he added: "I need to remind you that because the jade pendant is damaged, the soul defense effect is not strong. The concealment effect is okay, but the damage is gradually deepening. It is unknown whether the effect will continue to decrease. In addition, the consignor requires a spiritual crystal transaction. The minimum price is two spiritual crystals, and each increase in price must not be less than one spiritual crystal!"
In order to avoid disputes during the transaction, the old man in blue robe described the defects of the treasure in great detail. That was why no one bid for a long time.
Normal cultivators do not have the need to conceal the fluctuations of their souls, because everyone's soul fluctuations are similar and there is nothing special about them. Only those with colored souls like Chen Lin need this kind of treasure.
However, the defensive power of this item is very low and may continue to weaken, so it does not attract the interest of high-level monks at all.
The most important thing is that transactions require spirit crystals, which are rare items and are mostly in the hands of cultivators above the Spirit Transformation Stage. Low-level cultivators have fewer of them.
Chen Lin hesitated for a moment and quoted a lowest price.
If this thing can cover up the silver color of his soul, then the two spirit crystals are worth it. Even if it can't, it is not completely useless in concealing the fluctuations of his soul.
Of course, if someone bids for it, forget it.
"Okay, two spirit crystals, deal!"
At least the item was not sold at a loss, and the old man in the blue robe looked pretty good.
Then, he took out a small golden bottle and said, "The Luck Pill produced by the Tianyun Sect. You may not be familiar with the Tianyun Sect. It is a special sect in the Jinling Mountains. It is good at matters related to luck. The gambling stall that appeared in the market two days ago was set up by their sect."
"What, those liars?"
"They actually have a sect?"
"What a bunch of liars! I was cheated out of dozens of top-grade spirit stones, but I didn't even get a single draw!"
"I was defrauded by them and lost everything I had. I don't even have the spiritual stones to buy the Seven Star Pills!"
As soon as the blue-robed old man finished speaking, bursts of noisy sounds suddenly rang out all around.
Chen Lin's eyes sparkled.
The Tianyun Sect is truly a sect that cultivates luck, and can even refine luck pills!
He searched for more than a hundred years and finally found the elixir that could improve his luck. If he could get the recipe for this elixir, he would no longer have to rely on the Gambling Lake.
We must find a way to get this recipe!
Chen Lin secretly decided that after the auction was over, he would go find the people from Tianyun Sect and trade the pill formula to them no matter what the cost.
If the other party is really unwilling to sell, then he will buy a batch of luck pills first. He has only a few luck fish left now, so he doesn't even dare to use his innate abilities easily.
"Be quiet, fellow Taoists, be quiet!"
The old man in blue robe did not seem to have expected that the Tianyun Sect would be so unwelcoming, and he hurriedly cast a sound spell to suppress the noise.
Then he said, "The gambling has nothing to do with this auction. If you feel that you have been wronged, you can go and talk to the people of Tianyun Sect. Now let's continue the auction. The reserve price of one Luck Pill is 100 top-grade spirit stones. Each bid must not be less than 10 top-grade spirit stones. But I have to remind you that the seller didn't tell me how much luck this Luck Pill can increase. I don't know either. After all, luck is something illusory and cannot be quantified."
"One more thing!"
The old man in the blue robe continued, "Even if this pill is placed in a special pill bottle, it can only be preserved for a month. If you want to bid for it, you have to think carefully!"
