If it was fifth-grade material, it would be fine, but sixth-grade earth-attribute refining materials are too precious. Han Changming plans to keep them to upgrade the grade of the Qianyang Gourd. If he asks a fifth-grade refiner with high alchemy skills to help, he might be able to upgrade the Qianyang Gourd to a Tongtian Lingbao.
"I'll give it to you when I get the fifth-level ore later."
As Han Changming spoke, he took out a piece of light golden ore and threw it to the stone man. This was the fifth-grade refining material, golden cloud stone.
The stone man kept the golden cloud stone, and his body emitted yellow light, turning into a huge yellow stone.
Han Changming exited the Suzaku space and sat cross-legged in meditation.
The day passed quickly. Early in the morning, there was a long queue in front of the Qingyan Palace. Today was the day of the auction.
Han Changming arrived at Qingyan Palace early and queued up to enter the venue.
Not long after, Han Changming paid 10,000 spirit stones and entered the venue. Led by a young and beautiful maid in green, he came to a very large hall. In the center of the hall stood a huge stone golden turtle, and on the back of the golden turtle stood a green jade table.
Thousands of green wooden tables are placed around the stone golden turtle. There is an open secret room on each side. There is a random teleportation array in each secret room. Bidders can use the teleportation array to leave. The teleportation range is within ten thousand miles and the location is random. This is to protect the safety of bidders.
Han Changming found a seat near the front and sat down.
Most of the cultivators who participated in the auction were Nascent Soul cultivators. There were hundreds of Spiritual Transformation cultivators, but no Void Refining cultivators were seen.
Time passed little by little, and immortal cultivators came in one after another. Some were whispering, while others closed their eyes to rest.
Han Changming closed his eyes and listened to other cultivators chatting.
"It seems that the Heavenly Beast Sect and the Zhao Family are going to fight to the death. Several Divine Transformation cultivators have died."
"Is this true? A life-and-death battle for a spiritual stone mine? Not possible!"
"It's said to be a spiritual stone mine, but who knows the details? Maybe it's for a spiritual treasure or a top-grade elixir."
······
Several Nascent Soul cultivators were talking about it, but Han Changming remained unmoved. This matter had nothing to do with him.
After a cup of tea, the auction began with three "ding ding ding" bells.
Zhao Yunrong flew onto the back of the golden turtle and said loudly, "This auction will be hosted by me. The rules are the same as other auctions. The highest bidder wins. Bidding begins now."
As soon as he finished speaking, ten burly men carried a huge golden iron cage and walked to the back of the golden turtle.
A huge golden tiger was locked in a golden iron cage. The tiger had a pair of red wings on its back and looked listless. It was a fourth-grade, top-quality Golden Flame Tiger.
"A golden flame tiger, proficient in fire-related Taoism, with thick skin and flesh, it can travel a million miles a day without any problem."
Zhao Yunrong spoke loudly, her eyes sweeping over the monks present.
"The base price is one million spirit stones, and each increase in price must not be less than one hundred thousand."
"One million!"
"One million and one hundred thousand!"
"One million and two hundred thousand!"
······
The price continued to rise, and most of the bids came from Nascent Soul cultivators, while there were very few Spiritual Transformation cultivators.
It's just a fourth-level high-quality spiritual beast, not a fifth-level spiritual beast.
After the price changed dozens of times, it was finally sold at a high price of five million and was bought by a small family, who probably took it back to use it as a guardian beast.
After bidding away the Golden Flame Tiger, Zhao Yunrong took out two giant snow-white eggs and said, "Two spirit beast eggs of the fifth-level Snow Wind Beast. The Snow Wind Beast has a trace of ice-attributed True Dragon blood. The starting price is one million spirit stones, and each bid must not be less than one hundred thousand!"
"A little bit? It's the same as nothing at all."
Han Changming felt disdainful and did not bid.
"One million!"
"One million and one hundred thousand!"
"One million and two hundred thousand!"
······
Spiritual beast eggs, spiritual insect eggs, spiritual birds, spiritual insects, etc. appeared one after another at the auction venue. The gods rarely spoke up and did not even look at them.
After more than half an hour, Zhao Yunrong took out three golden porcelain bottles and said, "Now we are auctioning the finale item, three bottles of Qianling Pills. I don't need to say much about the efficacy of this pill! Auction them separately, the starting price is one million spirit stones, and each bid must not be less than three hundred thousand."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lei Jiao Lay Buddhist immediately shouted, "One million!"
"One million and three hundred thousand!"
"One million and six hundred thousand!"
······
The competition for Qianling Pills was fierce, and the price continued to rise, soon breaking through the three million mark and still rising.
Mr. Lei Jiao and the two evil spirits Jin Chan each bid for a bottle of Thousand Spirit Pills, at prices of 4.6 million and 5 million respectively. In total, one Thousand Spirit Pill costs 400,000 to 500,000 spirit stones, which is very expensive.
Han Changming spent 5.3 million to buy a bottle of Qianling Pills.
After buying away the three bottles of Qianling Pills, Zhao Yunrong took out an exquisite golden jade box, opened it, and revealed a golden inner pill with golden arcs flickering on the surface.
"The inner elixir of a fifth-level, mid-grade golden thunder dragon. This elixir was sent by a fellow Taoist to be auctioned in exchange for a fifth-level, top-grade elixir. The elixir that improves mana is given priority."
Zhao Yunrong's voice was not loud, but it was heard throughout the venue.
There was a hint of fiery excitement in her eyes. If the Zhao family could not give the other party what they wanted, they would have exchanged for this fifth-level dragon demon pill long ago.
"Top-grade elixir? Madam Zhao, are you kidding? There are top-grade elixirs that can improve your magic power. I really don't like this demon elixir."
An old man in a golden robe with a thin face snorted coldly and said with some dissatisfaction.
"That's right. It's a top-grade elixir that improves your magic power. It can save you decades of hard training."
There was a commotion among the Jindan cultivators present, and no one paid any attention to Zhao Yunrong. It was not that no one could produce a top-grade elixir, but that they thought it was not worth it.
The inner elixir of a fifth-order dragon is indeed precious, but that is only for cultivators who raise dragons or dragon descendants. It is not very attractive to other cultivators who have reached the stage of spiritual transformation.
"Anything of equal value is fine, formations, refining materials are all fine."
Zhao Yunrong added.
Many Divine Transformation cultivators sent messages to Zhao Yunrong, wanting to exchange for this fifth-level demon pill.
While talking to them, Zhao Yunrong used the communication disk to contact the owner of the goods.
Half a minute later, Mr. Lei Jiao flew to Zhao Yunrong, handed her an exquisite jade box, took away the fifth-level dragon inner elixir, and returned to his seat.
"You fellow Taoists should have heard of Master Golden Python!"
Zhao Yunrong asked.
"Of course I have heard of him. This senior is a Void Refining cultivator, but he has not appeared in public for many years. Madam Zhao, could the item you want to auction be Master Leigui's life-saving magic weapon, the Golden Python Blade?"
Li Zhengyang asked curiously.
Zhao Yunrong shook her head, took out a green jade slip, and said, "This is the practice method of Master Jinmang, the "Heavenly Beast Treasure Book". This set of practices is said to have been created by a Mahayana cultivator. The jade slip only records the first half, which can be practiced to the Void Refining Stage. There is no subsequent practice. The base price is one million spirit stones, and each bid must not be less than five hundred thousand."
"Heavenly Beast Book?"
Han Changming was somewhat tempted, as his family was in urgent need of advanced martial arts.
