Seven days passed quickly.
It was early morning that day, and the sky was just getting light.
There was a long queue in front of the gate of Haoran Palace, and five teams of patrolling monks were patrolling nearby, keeping on high alert.
Today is the day of the auction. In order to limit the number of cultivators participating in the auction, the organizer charges an entrance fee of one hundred spirit stones. Qi-refining cultivators are not allowed to participate unless they have the support of high-level cultivators.
Han Changming, Han Changying and Han Benfu appeared in the crowd. Due to shortage of staff, Ye Xue helped to look after the store.
Not long after, they arrived at the gate of Haoran Palace. After paying an entrance fee of three hundred spirit stones, they entered Haoran Palace.
Led by the maid, they came to a spacious and bright hall. In the center of the hall was a huge clam shell, shining with spiritual light. It was obviously a magic weapon. The clam shell was five meters long and two meters high. In front of the clam shell was a blue jade table. Around the huge clam shell were thousands of chairs. The front row was more than a hundred green jade chairs, and the other chairs were made of wood.
On the left hand side there is a stone chamber over ten feet in size, with a small teleportation array inside. If you are worried about being targeted by evil cultivators, you can use the teleportation array to teleport out of the auction venue after bidding on the treasures.
Auction organizers attach great importance to the safety of bidders. If a bidder is killed in his own territory, it will definitely affect his reputation and thus his income.
The cyan jade chairs were for Jindan cultivators, so Han Changming was not polite and sat down on a cyan jade chair. Han Changying and Han Benfu sat on the cyan wooden chairs behind Han Changming.
Monks came in one after another. Most of the Jindan monks sat in the green jade chairs in the front row, while some Jindan monks restrained their aura and sat in the corners.
"Friend Han, you're here so early."
A familiar male voice suddenly sounded.
Han Wenbin sat down on the left side of Han Changming, and Han Wenyue sat next to him.
"It's getting late. I heard there will be a lot of good stuff at this auction. I hope I can get some good stuff."
Han Changming said with a smile, his tone warm.
"There are indeed quite a few good things. I heard that there is a 600-year-old demon-luring grass for sale."
Han Wenbin transmitted the message that the Han family on Jinjiao Island was quite powerful, and Han Wenbin was able to learn about some of the auction items.
"Demon-luring grass!"
Han Changming's heart moved. If he remembered correctly, Han Zhangxiang had obtained several demon-luring herbs that were more than 600 years old. Could it be that the demon-luring herbs taken out at this auction were the ones obtained by Han Zhangxiang
Han Changming started chatting with Han Wenbin and his sister. Han Wenbin turned his head to look at Han Benfu and said with a smile: "Friend Han, this is your daughter, right?"
After the exchange meeting, Han Wenbin sent people to investigate Han Changming and easily found Jinhu Pavilion and Han Benfu.
He had no ill intentions, he just wanted to find out Han Changming's background so that he could make friends with him.
"Benfu, come and meet the two Han seniors."
Han Changming instructed Han Benfu.
Han Benfu quickly stood up and saluted, saying respectfully: "Junior greets the two seniors."
Han Changying also stood up and saluted, not daring to be negligent.
Han Wenbin took out two green porcelain bottles, handed them to Han Benfu and Han Changying, and said, "Friend Han, these two bottles of beast spirit pills are for you."
He was trying to show goodwill to Han Changming, and Han Changming was worthy of Han Wenbin doing this.
Han Benfu looked at Han Changming and asked about Han Changming's attitude.
Han Changming nodded and said, "Since it is given to you by Fellow Daoist Han, you should accept it!"
Han Benfu and Han Changying thanked them and accepted the Beast Spirit Pill.
After a cup of tea, accompanied by the sound of a melodious bell, the gate of Haoran Palace closed and the auction officially began.
A gentle old man in a green robe flew into the huge clam. The old man in the green robe had a moustache, a white face and a kind face, which gave people a sense of approachability.
"I am Chen Gang, the old man, who is in charge of hosting this auction. We have prepared a thousand items of various kinds for this auction. I hope that all the seniors will bid enthusiastically."
The old man in green robe gave a brief introduction, then took out seven green porcelain bottles of the same size and said, "Seven foundation-building pills, auctioned separately, with a starting price of 30,000 spirit stones, and each bid must not be less than 1,000."
Since Han Changming was able to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, he naturally would not bid for it. However, those small forces would not miss this opportunity and bid enthusiastically.
Seven foundation-building pills were auctioned off one after another, with the highest transaction price being 60,000 spirit stones.
"There are five pills in a bottle of Tide Sea Pills. Tide Sea Pills can improve your magic power. Those who practice water-attributed techniques should not miss this. The base price is 50,000 spirit stones, and each bid must not be less than 1,000."
Chen Gang took out a blue porcelain bottle and spoke loudly.
Pills that improve magic power are more popular, and the competition for this bottle of Chaohai Pill is very fierce.
Han Changming already has Youshui Pills and Ziyang Pills, so there is no need to auction off Chaohai Pills.
After a fierce competition, this bottle of Chao Hai Dan was bought by Zheng Jiaojiao of the Black and White Impermanence at a high price of two hundred thousand.
The price of a bottle of second-level elixir is generally over a thousand spirit stones, or hundreds of spirit stones for one pill, while the price of a bottle of third-level elixir starts at more than 200,000 spirit stones, or tens of thousands of spirit stones for one pill. From this, we can see the huge gap between the Jindan cultivator and the foundation-building cultivator.
Among wealth, friends, law and place, wealth comes first for a reason.
Chen Gang took out pills one after another to auction. Most of them were pills for improving magic power, mostly water-attributed pills. There were also a few bottles of healing pills, but they were quickly sold out.
The transaction prices of the auction items continued to rise, and the atmosphere in the venue gradually became heated.
"A bottle of third-level elixir beast-raising pills, with a total of ten pills, from the Han family of Jinjiao Island. It can help spirit beasts advance to the third level. The base price is 100,000, and each bid must not be less than 5,000."
Chen Gang pointed at a blue porcelain bottle on the jade table in front of him and spoke loudly.
"One hundred thousand!"
"One hundred and ten thousand!"
"One hundred and twenty thousand!"
······
Pills that can assist spirit beasts in their advancement are rare, and this bottle of beast-raising pill attracted bidding from many Jindan cultivators.
Han Wenbin agreed to sell two beast-raising pills to Han Changming every five years. Han Changming did not have many spirit stones, so he could only use them to bid for scarce items, such as pill-forming spiritual objects.
This bottle of beast-raising pill was bought by Fairy Qianling at a high price of 480,000.
"Three Yi Ling Dan pills. After taking them, your appearance and aura can be changed. Unless you have a rare treasure or spiritual pupils, ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators will not be able to tell the truth."
Chen Gang took out three green porcelain bottles and spoke loudly.
For high-level cultivators, changing one's appearance is not a difficult task, but the general method has a big flaw. A cultivator who is one realm higher can detect abnormalities. The face is easy to change, but the aura is not so easy to change. At most, one can restrain his breath.
This Yi Ling Dan can be said to be an excellent item for killing people, stealing treasures and exploring. Even ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators cannot tell the authenticity.
Han Changming was somewhat tempted. This kind of rare medicine might come in handy someday.
