Chapter 14 Auction

The next few auction items were equally precious.

They included a defensive spell made of rare deep-sea coral.

And a first-class flying sword that the forger spent ten years to make.

The introduction of each auction item was a visual and auditory feast that caught the eyes of the monks present.

When a furnace that looked like it had a long history was brought to the auction table, the atmosphere in the venue heated up again.

Qin Feng introduced excitedly: "Dear fellow Taoists, the next auction item is a very rare first-class furnace, called the 'Purple Cloud Furnace'."

"It was cast by a master in the foundation-building period with dozens of rare ores. It has a very high efficiency in alchemy and can increase the chance of successful refining."

The surface of the Purple Cloud Furnace shone with a faint purple light, and the surface of the furnace was engraved with a pattern of clouds and mist. The furnace body exuded a faint spiritual power fluctuation, which was obviously extraordinary.

"The starting price is two thousand spirit stones."

The auction of the Purple Cloud Furnace caused a slight commotion in the venue. As soon as Qin Feng announced the starting price of two thousand spirit stones, several cultivators who wanted to try began to bid.

First, a middle-aged man wearing a half-mask calmly raised his sign: "Two thousand one hundred spirit stones."

His voice spread throughout the auction hall through the formation, causing a lot of discussion.

Not long after, another voice sounded, it was a young female cultivator, her voice was crisp: "Two thousand three hundred spirit stones."

It seemed that she was quite interested in this Purple Cloud Furnace.

"Two thousand five hundred spirit stones."

The bidder was an elderly cultivator, his attitude seemed very determined, and he seemed to need such an efficient alchemy tool very much.

"Three thousand spirit stones."

The bidder was a young man in a private room on the second floor.

Looking young and energetic, he directly raised the price by five hundred spirit stones.

Ye Changsheng silently observed the bidding process, secretly measuring the true value of the Purple Cloud Furnace in his heart, which was just over two thousand spirit stones.

Three thousand spirit stones is indeed a bit too high a premium, not worth it.

He decided to give up.

The auction is still going on.

When a defensive magic weapon called "Liuyun Cloak" came on stage, Ye Changsheng's eyes finally lit up.

Qin Feng introduced: "Liuyun Cloak is a first-class top-grade magic weapon, made of Tiancan Liuyun Silk, with a built-in wind array. After wearing it, it can greatly increase the movement speed and has a certain stealth effect."

"The starting price is 1,500 spirit stones."

Ye Changsheng's eyes lit up. He was very interested in this Liuyun Cloak. After all, its dual effects of defense and escape speed can save lives in an emergency.

A cultivator in the field immediately raised a sign: "1,500 spirit stones!"

Not long after, another voice followed up: "1,600 spirit stones."

It was an old man with a slightly hoarse voice.

"1,700 spirit stones."

Ye Changsheng also joined the auction, his voice calm and firm.

"1,800 spirit stones."

The old man seemed very determined and raised the price again.

Ye Changsheng raised his eyebrows slightly, thought for a moment, and then bid again: "One thousand nine hundred spirit stones."

The venue was silent for a few seconds, and then the old man took a deep breath and bid again: "Two thousand spirit stones."

Ye Changsheng watched the price slowly rise, and he was secretly anxious. He knew that such a magic weapon was very popular and the price would only get higher and higher. The price was soon pushed up to two thousand spirit stones. Ye Changsheng finally couldn't hold back.

"Two thousand five hundred spirit stones"

Ye Changsheng wanted to shock other bidders in this radical way.

This move temporarily stabilized the price, and the venue fell into a brief silence.

However, the gray-robed monk did not give up, sneered, and raised the price again.

"Two thousand six hundred spirit stones."

Ye Changsheng saw that the situation was not good, and raised the price again without hesitation.

"Three thousand spirit stones."

The atmosphere in the auction hall became more and more tense, and many spectators held their breath and stared, waiting for the next bid.

The gray-robed monk pondered for a moment, and finally chose to withdraw, obviously not wanting to engage in meaningless competition.

"Three thousand spirit stones, first time."

"Three thousand spirit stones, second time."

"Three thousand spirit stones, third time, deal!"

Qin Feng's voice echoed in the auction hall, marking that the Liuyun Cloak finally fell into Ye Changsheng's hands.

Ye Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief, unable to hide his excitement, finally got an item he liked.

As the auction drew to a close, the atmosphere reached its climax.

Qin Feng introduced the finale item in a slightly mysterious tone: "The next auction item, the peach kernel of the longevity peach, comes from the ancient cave of a Taoist friend. Although the vitality is slightly dim, its rarity and magical effect are self-evident. The longevity peach is rare in the world and can extend the life of practitioners. Starting price, five thousand spirit stones!"

Ye Changsheng's eyes were fixed on the slightly dim seed. It didn't matter if the vitality was dim, as long as it was not completely dead, his fairy dew could give birth to it.

The peach kernel of the longevity peach is the most precious spiritual seed Ye Changsheng has encountered so far.

This is a rare opportunity, so we must act now.

Once the seed is activated by the fairy dew, its value will far exceed today's.

"Five thousand spirit stones!"

A middle-aged man started to bid.

"Five thousand five hundred spirit stones!"

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Ye Changsheng quickly raised his card.

"Six thousand spirit stones."

...

"Seven thousand five hundred spirit stones."

Then, the bidding in the venue came one after another, as if no one wanted to give up this precious seed that could prolong life.

The price was quickly pushed up to eight thousand spirit stones.

"Nine thousand spirit stones!"

An old man in a luxurious robe shouted coldly.

Ye Changsheng pondered for a while, then said loudly: "Ten thousand spirit stones!"

His voice was firm, showing his determination to win.

The venue was silent, and many people withdrew from the auction because the price was far beyond their expectations.

However, the old man did not seem to give up, "Twelve thousand spirit stones!"

Ye Changsheng no longer hesitated, and directly jumped to fifteen thousand spirit stones: "Fifteen thousand spirit stones!"

This time, no one bid again.

The surrounding noise gradually subsided, and all eyes were focused on Ye Changsheng, waiting for the final transaction.

Qin Feng waved the small hammer in his hand and announced with a hint of excitement: "Fifteen thousand spirit stones, the first time!"

"Fifteen thousand spirit stones, the second time!"

"Fifteen thousand spirit stones, the third time! Deal!"

As the hammer fell, the entire auction venue burst into applause.

Ye Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief, he knew he had made the right bet.

Despite the high price.

With the successful auction of the Yanshou Peach Seeds, the atmosphere of the auction reached its peak.

The next two finale items were also unveiled, attracting everyone's attention.

The first item was a rare spiritual bead called "Star Tears".

It is said that this spiritual bead was bred in the core of a meteor, contains the vast power of the stars, and can greatly enhance the holder's spiritual detection ability.

The grade is about the second-grade middle grade.

The starting price is 20,000 spiritual stones. The bidding process was extremely fierce, and it was finally won by a mysterious master from the Beiming Sect at a high price of 38,000 spiritual stones.

The last item was a set of second-grade low-grade defense formations called "Twenty-Eight Constellations Formation". This formation was created by the wisdom of many formation masters and can be arranged around a small town or sect.

The powerful defense is enough to withstand the full-strength attack of ten late-stage foundation-building cultivators.

The starting price was 40,000 spiritual stones, and the bidding process was full of ups and downs. In the end, it was won by a small sect at a price of 105,000 spiritual stones to protect the safety of the sect.

With the completion of the last lot, the auction came to an end.
