In order to enter the East Star Auction Hall, a certain amount of spirit stones had to be paid. For a normal seat, the cost for each individual would be 50 low-grade spirit stones. For the honorable guest seat, each individual would need to pay 200 low-grade spirit stones. There was also the better honorable guest room and the supreme room that were meant for people with n.o.ble status, no amount of spirit stones would be useful.
Li Fuchen12Li FuchenMain Protagonist didn"t wish to squeeze along with others, hence, he paid 200 low-grade spirit stones and was led by an attendant to the honorable guest seats" area.
The honorable guest seats were part.i.tioned with screens and weren"t mutually connected, giving some considerable privacy.
After getting into his seat, Li Fuchen started to size up the auction hall.
The ma.s.sive auction hall had a total of 2000 seats. Currently, half of the seats were filled up and it was very crowded.
"This auction hall is rather profitable." Li Fuchen lamented in his heart.
A normal seat would cost 50 low-grade spirit stones, 2000 seats would mean 10,000 low-grade spirit stones. It wasn"t a small sum and after including the commission from the auction items, their income would be even higher.
One hour later, the auction hall was fully seated.
The customers were all Reincarnation Realm. No matter how wealthy a Heaven Dipper Realm martial artist was, they wouldn"t enter this place. After all, during the auction, even an ordinary item would cost at least 1000 low-grade spirit stones. How could they have so many low-grade spirit stones?
Soon enough, a white-haired auction host came on stage. He cupped his hands towards everyone and said, "I am the host for the auction this time. This host can guarantee that all the items in the auction are authentic and are fair trade…"
After some conventional greetings, the white-haired host announced the start of the auction.
The first time of the auction was the earth cla.s.s low-tier, Spirit Heart Elixir. This elixir might be an earth cla.s.s low-tier elixir, but the asking price was 1000 low-grade spirit stones, making it comparable to earth cla.s.s mid-tier elixirs.
"It is actually the Spirit Heart Elixir?" Li Fuchen was moved.
The mental cultivation elixirs could allow the pract.i.tioner to clear out the mental state. The effects were similar to the Clear Spirit Fruit but it was several times better.
If not the asking price would be at 1000 low-grade spirit stones.
"1100."
"1150."
"1200."
"1300."
"1500."
The Spirit Heart Elixir was very popular as the price was climbing steadily.
"1800." Li Fuchen made a bid too.
Once this bid was out, everyone else became spiritless.
The Spirit Heart Elixir was good, but it wasn"t able to allow the consumer to directly breakthrough. The side effects were minimal and it was suitable for those pract.i.tioners who wished to firm their foundations.
In the eyes of most people, the Spirit Heart Elixir"s price was around 1500 low-grade spirit stones, any more would be a loss.
Ultimately, the Spirit Heart Elixir fell into the hands of Li Fuchen.
The second auction item was a pair of earth cla.s.s low-tier metal claws.
The weapon was nothing special. It was simply a niche item and such items rarely appear in the market.
There were plenty of Reincarnation Realm martial artists who cultivated claw arts but due to the lack of a suitable weapon, their combat strength couldn"t reach the optimal level. How was it not possible for them to contest for this weapon.
In just a short moment, the metal claw"s price had reached 1600 low-grade spirit stones.
There were two of the 3rd level Reincarnation Realm martial artists who were in an intense struggle and neither was willing to give up.
"1900 going once, 1900 going twice, sold."
In the end, this pair of metal claws landed in the hands of a bald middle-aged man, causing this man to be in high spirits for a long time.
Time elapsed quickly, every auction item was presented and sold. During this period of time, none of the auction items were unsold as there was an intense contest.
"Earth cla.s.s mid-tier elixir, Clear Spirit Elixir. It is concocted by Grandmaster Ever Youth. The asking price is 2000 low-grade spirit stones."
Gradually, the auction started to enter the middle phase.
"Clear Spirit Elixir." Li Fuchen laughed bitterly.
The Spirit Heart Elixir and the Clear Spirit Elixir were both able to increase the mental state. However, the Clear Spirit Elixir used the Clear Spirit Fruit as the main ingredient and were supplemented with many other herbs meant for increasing the mental state during the concoction. The effects were better than the Spirit Heart Elixir, thus, many of the mid-leveled and high-leveled Reincarnation Realm martial artists had partic.i.p.ated.
Li Fuchen raised his hand and called out a bid of 2800.
He might already have the Spirit Heart Elixir, but he still didn"t wish to give up on the Clear Spirit Elixir. After all, who would dislike having a higher speed of increase for the mental state?
"2900."
"3000."
Those low-leveled Reincarnation Realm martial artists had already given up. Only the mid-leveled and high-leveled Reincarnation Realm martial artists were still in the bid.
"3500." Li Fuchen raised the price by 500 low-grade spirit stones at one go.
As a result, a few of the high-leveled Reincarnation Realm martial artists had given up too.
Their cultivation level were rather high and the Clear Spirit Elixir had limited effects for him. Of course, if the price was within their acceptable range, they wouldn"t mind bidding for it.
When Li Fuchen raised the price to 4000 low-grade spirit stones, everyone had given up.
The asking price of the Clear Spirit Elixir was only 2000. They didn"t have so much low-grade spirit stones to squander.
Li Fuchen didn"t feel that it was a loss. 3000 low-grade spirit stones was the price of one Primary Ascension Elixir, it might be able to increase the cultivation level by one level, but the side effects were significant. It was fine for those people with slow cultivation speed but Li Fuchen was rather confident with his cultivation speed and he didn"t wish to stay at the 2nd level of Reincarnation Realm for one or two years.
The Clear Spirit Elixir was a mental cultivation elixir and the side effects were minimal, making it very suitable for Li Fuchen who valued having a stronger foundation.
In just a short moment, half of the morning was over.
"The next auction item is one of this auction"s major items." The white-haired host put on suspense and after waiting for it to take effect, he suddenly revealed the special silk that was covering the auction item. He then said loudly, "Earth cla.s.s high-tier elixir, Raging Flame Heart Elixir. It is produced by Grandmaster Raging Flame. Not only can it allow Reincarnation Realm martial artists with blazing fire cultivation techniques to increase by one cultivation level, but the side effects are also minimal. In fact, the Raging Flame Heart Elixir has the effects to eliminate impurities. The auction shall now begin, the asking price is 7000 low-grade spirit stones and each bid must not be lower than 100 low-grade spirit stones."
As soon as the white-haired host finished his statement, the bid price of the Raging Flame Heart Elixir was climbing rapidly. In just ten breaths, the price was at 9000 low-grade spirit stones.
The partic.i.p.ants in this auction item were all Reincarnation Realm martial artists with blazing fire cultivation techniques. There were plenty of high-leveled Reincarnation Realm martial artists too.
The Raging Flame Heart Elixir was extremely potent. Even a 7th or 8th level Reincarnation Realm martial artist was to consume it, they would basically increase by one cultivation level. If their cultivation level didn"t increase, it would shorten the time required for the next advancement.
As for low-level Reincarnation Realm martial artists, they would immediately advance by one and a half levels. If their mental state was strong enough, they might be able to advance by one more level in just a few months.
"10,000." Li Fuchen raised his hand.
Li Fuchen was determined the win the bid of the Raging Flame Heart Elixir.
"11,000." A 7th level Reincarnation Realm martial artist raised the hand.
"12,000." Another 7th level Reincarnation Realm martial artist increased the bid.
"13,000." It was a 5th level Reincarnation Realm martial artist that called the bid this time.
"15,000." Li Fuchen was rich and overbearing as he instantly added 2000.
"b.a.s.t.a.r.d, how can he bid like this." There were plenty of mid-level Reincarnation Realm martial artists who had no choice but to give up.
They might look wealthy, but they couldn"t utilize all of their spirit stones.
16,000… 17,000… 18,000.
As the bidding contest of the Raging Flame Heart Elixir continued to increase, many of the Reincarnation Realm martial artists were clicking their tongues silently.
Even some of the high-level Reincarnation Realm martial artists found it hard to manage.
"20,000." Li Fuchen"s face remained unchanged.
With over 70,000 low-grade spirit stones, Li Fuchen was very confident.
The requirement to teleport back to the East Unicorn Continent was too ma.s.sive and it was impossible to gather all the spirit stones in a short period of time. Furthermore, if Li Fuchen was stronger, the earning speed of spirit stones would be faster and he wasn"t afraid that he wouldn"t be able to earn enough in the future.
"Young friend, I am Scarlet Fire Fist, Feng Long. Can you give face to me and stop bidding?" A fierce-looking 7th level Reincarnation Realm martial artist transmitted a message to Li Fuchen.
Now that the price of the Raging Flame Heart Elixir had reached 20,000, everyone else had given up except for him and Li Fuchen.
Li Fuchen transmitted a message in return, "The auction hall"s rule is for the highest bidder to obtain the item. Scarlet Fire Fist wouldn"t possibly not know this rule, right?"
"Young friend, leave a backup route for everything and it will be easier to meet again. It isn"t good for you to be overly bombastic." Feng Long threatened.
Li Fuchen sneered, "I do not need it to be easy to meet with you again. I am determined to obtain this Raging Flame Heart Elixir."
"Hmph, I hope you don"t regret."
Feng Long didn"t bid anymore and engraved Li Fuchen in his heart.
20,000 low-grade spirit stones was undoubtedly a sky-high price. Who else would want to compete with Li Fuchen? In the end, the Raging Flame Heart Elixir fell into Li Fuchen"s possession.
For the rest of the auction, they were all major auction items and each of them were sold at least for 10,000 low-grade spirit stones. One of the items was an earth cla.s.s mid-tier artifact armor and was auctioned off at the price of 30,000 low-grade spirit stones. There was also an earth cla.s.s low-tier secret treasure that was auctioned off for 25,000 low-grade spirit stones.
"Next would be the finale auction items. There are a total of three items, the first item is the Green Dragon Artifact Saber. That"s right, this saber is an earth cla.s.s high-tier weapon and I guess everyone should know the significance of such an artifact weapon. The asking price will be 50,000 low-grade spirit stones. The auction shall begin!"
The white-haired host revealed an artifact saber that burst with saber qi and had imposing prowess.
Buzz!
The auction hall had flared up.
Earth cla.s.s high-tier weapons were basically non-existent in the market. Every time one of such weapons appeared, it would cause an intensive contest.
It wasn"t exaggerating to say that the individual who possessed an earth cla.s.s high-tier weapon would be able to exceed two levels in combat. If a 9th level Reincarnation Realm martial artist was to obtain this Green Dragon Artifact Saber, the strength would reach a horrifying level and could crush most of the 9th level Reincarnation Realm martial artists.
"60,000."
"70,000."
"80,000."
There wasn"t a need to increase the bid by 1000 each time, these high-level Reincarnation Realm martial artists were increasing the price at 10,000 with each bid.
"These people are real overbearing tyrants among Reincarnation Realm martial artists!" Li Fuchen squinted his eyes.
The Reincarnation Realm martial artists that partic.i.p.ated in the auction were extremely wealthy and had an extremely strong foundation. Each of them would at least cultivate the earth cla.s.s low-tier cultivation techniques and martial arts. If they were to visit the East Unicorn Continent, they would be able to contest against the pinnacle experts apart from the Evil King.
As compared to these high-level Reincarnation Realm martial artists, the high-level Reincarnation Realm martial artists in the East Unicorn Continent could only be considered ordinary martial artists. Be it the cultivation techniques, martial arts, weapons or armors, they were all considered sc.r.a.ps and weren"t worth mentioning.
Li Fuchen"s body refinement strength could be compared with regular 9th level Reincarnation Realm martial artists, but if his opponent cultivation earth cla.s.s low-tier cultivation techniques and martial arts, Li Fuchen would only be able to contest with 5th level Reincarnation Realm martial artists. It was impossible for him to exceed seven or eight levels in combat.
The price of the Green Dragon Artifact Sword was forcefully pushed from 50,000 to 150,000.
Finally, it was obtained by a peak level Reincarnation Realm martial artist, creating multiple auction records.
