When he saw Ximen Xue, a hint of fear flashed in Wan Yunshan's eyes. He said nothing more, turned his head and stopped talking to Liang Youshan.
Ximen Xue did not pursue the matter and walked to the front row and sat down.
Han Debiao glanced at Ximen Xue with some curiosity, secretly surprised, and said nothing.
Cultivators came into the venue one after another, ranging from Qi Refining to Nascent Soul cultivators, and most of those in Qi Refining and Foundation Building stage came to see the world.
Among them, a tall young man in a blue shirt attracted Han Debiao's attention. The young man in blue shirt had handsome features, bright eyes, red lips and white teeth. He was dressed like a scholar and had a faint smile on his face, giving people an approachable impression.
There was not the slightest fluctuation of magical power on the blue-shirted young man, but no one dared to underestimate him. He was the most outstanding descendant of Taihao Zhenjun, Sihai Zhenren. He had practiced Taoism for more than a hundred years and was already in the early Nascent Soul stage. He was young and promising, and had great potential.
Sihai Zhenren sat at the front, and several monks in exquisite robes sat beside him.
Half a quarter of an hour later, accompanied by the sound of raging waves, the gate of Taihao Palace slowly closed.
The blue lotus seat swayed slightly, and countless mysterious runes lit up. With a flash of blue light, a fat old man in a blue robe suddenly appeared on the blue lotus seat. The old man in the blue robe had a fair face, was energetic, and had a full head of water. Judging from the powerful fluctuations of magic power emanating from his body, it was obvious that he was a cultivator in the late Jindan stage.
A strange look flashed in Han Debiao and Liang Youshan's eyes. Is this a secret technique? Or a formation
The old man in blue robe took off his blue robe and placed it on the blue jade table in front of him. He bowed to everyone and said with a smile: "I am Chen Lei, and I welcome all the seniors to participate in this auction. This Yunhai robe is the first auction item. It is a sharp weapon for concealing your body. I have been standing here just now, and I guess not many Taoist friends have noticed me."
"The first auction item is the Yunhai robe, a mid-level magic weapon, an auxiliary magic weapon, with a reserve price of 200,000. Each bid increase must not be less than 50,000."
As soon as he finished speaking, a monk started bidding.
"Two hundred thousand!"
"Two hundred and fifty thousand!"
“Three hundred thousand!”
······
The competition was fierce as bids were heard one after another.
Han Debiao did not have many spirit stones on him, so he naturally would not use them to buy this treasure. The concealment effect of this sea of clouds robe was indeed good, unless he wanted to use it to sneak attack others. As for concealing his body, he had a fourth-level talisman in his hand, which could also conceal his body, and the effect would definitely be better.
Good steel should be used on the blade. Without the support of his family, Han Debiao must be frugal.
"I'll give you five hundred thousand."
Liang Youshan directly added an additional 200,000 yuan. There were too many wealthy people in Zhongtian Continent, and it would be difficult for her to buy the treasure unless she raised the price.
"Five hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Six hundred thousand!"
"Six hundred and fifty thousand!"
······
This price did not scare off the other cultivators. Liang Youshan frowned and was about to raise the price when Han Debiao's voice rang in her ears: "Fairy Liang, the Yunhai robe is indeed good, but times have changed. It's not easy for us to earn some spirit stones. We should save them for necessities! If you want a treasure that can conceal your body, I will accompany you to the Yinquan Tower to buy a spirit escape talisman some other day."
Liang Youshan nodded, glanced at Han Debiao, and said nothing.
After a fierce competition, this Yunhai robe was sold for 800,000 yuan and was bought by Wan Yunshan.
This price has already exceeded the true value of the Yunhai robe. However, for a playboy like Wan Yunshan, hundreds of thousands of spirit stones are nothing. After all, his father is a Nascent Soul cultivator and holds an important position with plenty of benefits.
With a good father and the fact that Wan Yunshan is the only child, he is spoiled and spends money lavishly.
Wan Yunshan leaped onto the blue lotus seat and readily paid the spirit stones. Chen Lei put the robe into an exquisite blue jade box and handed it to Wan Yunshan.
After returning to his seat, Wan Yunshan handed the blue jade box to Liang Youshan and said enthusiastically, "Fairy Liang, this Yunhai robe is for you."
It’s not a bad deal to spend 800,000 spirit stones to win a beauty’s smile.
"Friend Wan, I appreciate your kindness, but I won't accept it without merit. Please take it back!"
Liang Youshan declined politely.
Han Debiao felt somewhat unhappy. Wan Yunshan really didn't take him seriously. Liang Youshan had rejected him many times, but Wan Yunshan still kept pestering her.
Wan Yunshan wanted to say something, but Zhao Hongling's sarcastic voice suddenly rang out: "Humph, do you really think that with a few spirit stones, every female cultivator will throw themselves at you? Beauty goes with heroes."
A hint of anger flashed in Wan Yunshan's eyes. The Wan family had fought with Feixue Valley many times, and several of Zhao Hongling's cousins died at the hands of the Wan family cultivators. Zhao Hongling only mocked Wan Yunshan verbally. If it had not been in the market town, the two might have fought.
He snorted lightly, said nothing, and put away his Yunhai robe.
Chen Lei took out three green porcelain bottles and said loudly: "Three bottles of Qingyu Dan, which have the effect of improving magic power. The base price is 200,000 spirit stones, and each bid must not be less than 50,000."
Unlike the outer seas, the elixirs sold at auctions in Zhongtian Continent must be at least mid-quality. Ordinary elixirs will not appear at the auction venue. This is considered an unspoken rule in the world of immortal cultivation!
Han Debiao doesn't have much need for elixirs to improve his magic power, but if it's a panacea for strengthening the body, that's fine.
"Two hundred thousand!"
"Two hundred and fifty thousand!"
"I'll give you three hundred thousand!"
······
The sound of bidding was endless. After dozens of rounds of bidding, the three bottles of Qingyu Pill were sold at the prices of 500,000, 550,000, and 550,000 respectively. Each bottle contained ten pills. In total, the price of one Qingyu Pill was more than 50,000 spirit stones.
Most of the elixirs from Zhongtian Continent are made with spiritual medicine as the main ingredient, while most of the elixirs from the outer sea are made with demon elixirs as the main ingredient. In terms of efficacy, elixirs made from spiritual medicine are naturally better. The shelf life of demon elixirs is not as long as that of spiritual medicines. After all, the quality of demon elixirs depends on the grade of the demon beast, while spiritual medicines can continue to grow.
After bidding away the three bottles of Qingyu Dan, Chen Lei took out five snow-white talismans. Each talisman had a spiritual bird pattern on its surface. He said, "The Flying Bird Escape Spirit Talisman. When fully activated, the escape speed is comparable to that of an early Nascent Soul. It lasts for one hour. It is a must-have for escaping. The base price is 300,000 spiritual stones, and each bid must not be less than 50,000 spiritual stones."
“Three hundred thousand!”
"Three hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Four hundred thousand!"
······
The competition was fierce. Chen Lei took out one auction item after another, including elixirs, talismans, magic weapons, formations, etc. There were many types, and each item was a fine product.
"Golden Ginseng Jade Dew Pill, a third-level pill, can cure all kinds of poisons, even the venom of fourth-level monsters and poisonous beasts. The base price is 400,000 spirit stones, and each bid must not be less than 50,000."
Chen Lei held three green porcelain bottles in his hands and spoke loudly.
Han Debiao's eyes lit up. They made a living by hunting monsters. There were many fourth-level monsters living in the Qingling Mountains, which were very difficult to deal with. The venom of some powerful poisonous insects or beasts could easily corrode the protective aura of a Jindan cultivator, and even magic weapons could not withstand it. In this situation, detoxification pills were favored by all monster-hunting monks, and the demand was huge and the price was very high.
There are hundreds of detoxification pills on the market, and only about ten of them are the most effective. Of course, you get what you pay for, and since they are so effective, they will naturally be a little more expensive.
"Four hundred thousand!"
"Four hundred and fifty thousand!"
"I'll give you 500,000!"
······
Han Debiao participated in the bidding. To be honest, a bottle of elixir could cost hundreds of thousands of spirit stones. No matter how many spirit stones he had, they would not be enough. He missed the days in the open sea. At that time, if he needed any elixir, he would just say hello to Han Changming, and Han Changming would be able to give it to him.
Alchemists are more respected in Zhongtian Continent, especially those with superb alchemy skills, who can be said to be the center of attention.
Han Debiao spent 700,000 spirit stones to buy a bottle of Golden Ginseng Jade Dew Pills, a total of ten pills, which cost 70,000 spirit stones each. Sometimes, if you are unlucky, you may encounter a fourth-order poisonous insect, and you are lucky enough to come back alive. Therefore, hunting monsters seems to be very profitable, but it is not worth spending, and the bulk of the money is earned by various merchants.
The monster hunting team must always have detoxifying pills on hand, repair damaged magic weapons, and purchase formation plates and talismans. Even though Han Debiao is the captain, the money that goes into his pocket is not much. How much money he can get depends on how much effort he puts in, and this is no exception even if Han Debiao is the captain. Therefore, the captains of each monster hunting team are all strong.
Without sufficient strength, it is impossible to control the people below.
After buying this bottle of elixir, Han Debiao didn't have many spirit stones left, so he had to lead his team into the mountains to hunt monsters. If he was lucky, he wouldn't have to go into the mountains for more than ten years. If he was unlucky, not only would he not earn much spirit stones, he would even have to spend money to do so.
Outsiders only see that hunting monsters can make money, but how many people can imagine that after purchasing the supplies for hunting monsters, they will have only a few spirit stones left? If hunting monsters is a huge profit, why would those big forces open shops to make money
The industries that really make money are those large-scale medicine stores and weapons stores.
After bidding farewell to the three bottles of pills, Chen Lei took out an exquisite golden brocade box. When he opened it, a dazzling golden light flew out. Inside was a golden axe, which was full of spiritual energy and was obviously a top-grade magic weapon.
"The Golden Sun Axe is a top-grade magic weapon with fire attacks, which is especially suitable for physical cultivators. This weapon was personally refined by Master Ma of our Taihao Merchant Alliance. This weapon is a replica of a spiritual treasure, and the materials used are all top-quality. The base price is 400,000 spiritual stones, and each bid must not be less than 50,000."
As soon as Chen Lei finished speaking, someone started bidding.
"Five hundred thousand!"
Han Debiao recognized that this was Jin Yunzi's voice.
Han Debiao's natal magic weapon is a mid-grade magic weapon, and this Golden Sun Axe is a top-grade magic weapon, so its power must be greater.
"Six hundred thousand."
"Six hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Seven hundred thousand!"
······
There were many cultivators bidding. Physical cultivators in the Jindan stage were relatively rare in the outer sea, but there were more physical cultivators in the Jindan stage in the Zhongtian Continent. This was understandable, after all, the Zhongtian Continent was rich in the resources for cultivating immortals, and it was easier to cultivate a physical cultivator in the Jindan stage.
The Golden Sun Axe was eventually bought by Jin Yunzi at a high price of 1.1 million, showing his great wealth.
Chen Lei took out an exquisite golden gourd, uncorked it, and a dazzling golden light swept out.
All the monks showed curious expressions on their faces and looked at Chen Lei.
"When it comes to the number and strength of physical cultivators, the Golden Buddha Temple is second. I don't think anyone would dare to claim first place!"
Chen Lei said this somewhat mysteriously, deliberately keeping the audience in suspense.
"Golden Buddha Temple! Could this be the Golden Buddha Temple's body-building spiritual liquid, the Seven-Colored Glazed Liquid?"
"That's not right! The rumored seven-colored glass liquid emits seven-colored rays of light. Did I remember it wrong?"
"Golden Buddha Temple? But is this the Golden Buddha Temple where Zen Master Jin Yue came from? You, Taihao Merchant Alliance, actually managed to get the Golden Buddha Temple's body-building spiritual fluid. You are really capable."
······
The monks were talking about it, and the eyes of the high-level monks became hot, looking at Chen Lei one after another.
The Golden Buddha Temple is a major force in the Zhongtian Continent and a holy place for Buddhist practice. The number and strength of Buddhist practitioners are recognized by the majority of cultivators, and Chen Lei is not exaggerating.
The Golden Buddha Temple has three kinds of body-building spiritual liquids, which have very good body-building effects. The most famous of them is the Seven-Colored Glazed Liquid. It is said that ordinary cultivators who refine the Seven-Colored Glazed Liquid can also possess tremendous strength and can easily tear apart jackals, tigers and leopards of the same level with their bare hands. This statement is exaggerated, but it also shows the power of the Seven-Colored Glazed Liquid.
Han Debiao's heart moved, and his eyes were fixed on the porcelain bottle in Chen Lei's hand. If it was really the Seven-Colored Glazed Liquid, he would get it even if he had to sell everything he had. He had admired the Seven-Colored Glazed Liquid for a long time. If he could refine a gourd of the Seven-Colored Glazed Liquid, it would be enough to strengthen his body several times. Yes, it would be several times stronger. This was Han Debiao's own guess. The Seven-Colored Glazed Liquid was the most famous body-building spiritual liquid in the Golden Buddha Temple, and the body-building effect must be very good.
"This shouldn't be the Seven-Colored Glazed Liquid! The monks of the Golden Buddha Temple won't easily give out the Seven-Colored Glazed Liquid. As far as I know, there are only five bottles of the Seven-Colored Glazed Liquid circulated in the Golden Buddha Temple, and the recipients of each bottle of the Seven-Colored Glazed Liquid are all famous senior masters in Zhongtian Continent."
Sihai Zhenren frowned and said that the cultivator who could be called a senior by him was naturally a Divine Transformation cultivator.
Chen Lei nodded and said, "This is indeed not the Seven-Colored Glazed Liquid, but the Golden Gang Tempering Spiritual Liquid, one of the three major body-building spiritual liquids in the Golden Buddha Temple. Naturally, its effect is not as good as the Seven-Colored Glazed Liquid, but this thing does come from the Golden Buddha Temple, and the body-building effect is excellent. Even for Nascent Soul cultivators, it has a good body-building effect."
After hearing this, the cultivators present suddenly realized. Han Debiao showed a disappointed expression on his face. Since it was not the Seven-Colored Glazed Liquid, he naturally would not bid for it. It was not that he did not want this bottle of Golden Gang Soul Tempering Liquid. Chen Lei said it very clearly. The Golden Gang Soul Tempering Liquid also had a good body-building effect on Nascent Soul cultivators. Based on this point alone, this bottle of Golden Gang Soul Tempering Liquid could be auctioned at a sky-high price, which was not something Han Debiao could afford.
"A bottle of Golden Gang Spiritual Tempering Liquid, the base price is 500,000 Spiritual Stones, and each bid increase must not be less than 100,000 Spiritual Stones."
As soon as Chen Lei finished speaking, Jin Yunzi immediately opened his mouth to bid: "Five hundred thousand!"
"Six hundred thousand!"
"Seven hundred thousand!"
······
The price quickly rose to a million, and many cyst-shy monks were unable to afford it.
