At night, at the hour of Xu.

Ling Pengyun and his parents Ling Xiaohua and Yang Qiuyun all left the Lingxiao Grocery Store and walked along the main road towards the Yunshui Auction House deep in the market.

The Yunshui Auction House has the same architectural format as the Huaishui Auction House, both of which are three-story. The first floor is the lobby, and ordinary cultivators can take a spiritual stone as a pass to enter the auction.

The second and third floors are private rooms.

Although they are both private rooms, there are differences between the two. The private rooms on the second floor can be entered by any foundation-building family with some strength, but the private rooms on the third floor can only be entered by cultivators who have a relationship with Jindan cultivators.

Although Ling Pengyun's family is a member of the foundation-building family Ling family, the Ling family is only a foundation-building family that has only been established for eleven years and has a weak foundation, so it is difficult to obtain the qualification to enter the private room on the second floor of the auction house.

They can only sit in the noisy lobby on the first floor like ordinary Qi training family cultivators and casual cultivators.

There is a round table several feet high in the center of the lobby, and on this round table stands a middle-aged female cultivator with an extremely good figure.

Although she is old, she still has a charming and unique flavor.

Ling Pengyun and his parents entered Yunshui Auction House for a cup of tea. When the thousands of seats in the lobby of Yunshui Auction House were mostly occupied, the auction officially began.

The middle-aged female cultivator standing on the round table in the center of the lobby also served as the host of the auction. Maids kept bringing spiritual objects to the middle-aged female cultivator on trays and supplying them to the middle-aged female cultivator for auction.

As time passed, more and more spiritual objects were auctioned, and the quality of the spiritual objects became better and better.

The auction lasted for about half an hour. After the middle-aged female cultivator standing on the round table in the lobby and hosting the auction auctioned a superior first-grade high-quality flying sword, a maid brought three glass bottles from the backstage on a tray and walked onto the round table.

The middle-aged female cultivator who presided over the auction took the three glass bottles handed over by the maid and introduced them to the cultivators in the auction venue.

"These three glass bottles contain the Evergreen Spirit Water, which is made by my Bailing Sect's alchemist using fifty-year-old Evergreen Spirit Juice and several precious spiritual materials."

"Although the Evergreen Spirit Water is artificially refined, it is not much weaker than the Heaven and Earth Spirit Water of the same level."

"The main effect of this spirit water is to promote cultivation. It is several times or even dozens of times better than ordinary first-level top-grade elixirs."

"The starting price of each bottle of Evergreen Spirit Water is one hundred spirit stones, and each bid cannot be less than five spirit stones."

As soon as these words fell, Ling Pengyun, who was sitting in the thousands of seats in the lobby, looked excited and immediately started bidding.

"One hundred and five spirit stones!"

"One hundred and ten spirit stones!"

"One hundred and fifteen spirit stones!"

"..."

After a while, the price of the first bottle of Evergreen Spirit Water rose to two hundred spirit stones, but the voice of bidding still did not stop.

Obviously, there were many cultivators in this auction who were eager for this first bottle of Evergreen Spirit Water.

Sitting among the thousands of seats on the first floor of the auction, Ling Pengyun frowned as he saw the price of the first bottle of Evergreen Spirit Water rising continuously.

Whether it was the bottle of Evergreen Spirit Water being auctioned now or the two bottles of Evergreen Spirit Water that were to be auctioned later, he was determined to get them.

"If the bidding is so slow, there will definitely be many cultivators who are lucky enough to think that they can win the auction."

"We have to give those cultivators who are rushing to bid for the Evergreen Spirit Water a strong medicine."

Thinking of this, Ling Pengyun immediately hardened his heart, gritted his teeth, and spoke.

"Three hundred spiritual stones."

As soon as this price was called out, the entire auction hall suddenly fell silent, and no one was bidding.

Ling Pengyun, who called out this price, also became the most dazzling figure in the entire auction hall. There were constant whispers around him speculating on Ling Pengyun's identity.

The reason for this is very simple. Although Changqing Spiritual Water is comparable to the spiritual water of heaven and earth, it is still within the scope of first-grade spiritual water.

Generally, the price of spiritual water of this grade basically fluctuates between 200 and 250 spiritual stones.

This price is determined by the value of this thing. If 200 to 250 spiritual stones are used to buy elixirs, the spiritual power obtained by the cultivators from refining is actually not much different from the spiritual power obtained by refining Changqing Spiritual Water.

However, Changqing Spiritual Water is better in that it has no impurities and is mild. Once swallowed, it can be sent to the Dantian with simple refining to improve cultivation.

Once the price of such spiritual water exceeds 250 spiritual stones, it will also mean that the item has been purchased at a premium. If it is not necessary, it is not worth it.

Of course, if there are more spiritual stones, those who want to improve their cultivation quickly can also buy it at a premium.

It is precisely because of this that Ling Pengyun was labeled as "rich" by many cultivators at the auction.

After ten breaths, no one on the scene still bid for it. The middle-aged female male cultivator who presided over the auction on the central round platform on the first floor of the auction finally announced that the first mouthful of Changqing spiritual water was won by Ling Pengyun.

After that, Ling Pengyun used the same trick to buy two bottles of Changqing spiritual water at the auction at a very high premium.

The second bottle was also bought at a price of 300 spiritual stones.

Even if Ling Pengyun paid a premium of 300 spiritual stones for the third and last bottle of Changqing spiritual water, there were still a few cultivators who wanted to fight for it, but Ling Pengyun, who was very eager for Changqing spiritual water, did not give in and finally bought it at 330 spiritual stones.

As for why Ling Pengyun had purchased these three bottles of spiritual water for cultivation at such a high price this time, it was not for feeding them to the thorny vines as he had done in the past.

The thorn vine has reached the late stage of Qi training, and there is still a long way to go before it reaches Qi perfection. Three bottles of Evergreen Spiritual Water are just a drop in the bucket.

At least five to ten bottles of Evergreen Spiritual Water are needed to help the thorn vine break through to Qi perfection.

This vine cannot reach Qi perfection, so it is difficult to feed back Ling Pengyun's spiritual power. Without spiritual power, Ling Pengyun will naturally not give priority to providing spiritual objects to the thorn vine.

Ling Pengyun intends to buy these three bottles of Evergreen Spiritual Water for himself, and use them to improve his cultivation and try to see if he can make his cultivation one step closer.

Some time ago, he relied on the spiritual power of the thorn vine to feed back to the eighth level of Qi training, and was only two levels away from Qi perfection.

After buying these three bottles of Evergreen Spiritual Water, Ling Pengyun did not have many spiritual stones on him. Although there were things he liked at the subsequent auction, he could only watch the things he liked being auctioned off by others because he had no spiritual stones.

After more than 300 spiritual objects were auctioned, the auction reached its climax and the most exciting stage, with ten core items being auctioned.

The first eight core items were quite standard, either second-level low-grade magic tools or second-level low-grade elixirs, spiritual talismans and other high-level spiritual objects.

As for the last two core items, they were the core of this auction, three portions of Bailing Water and three foundation-building pills.

The price of three portions of Bailing Water was still affordable for many foundation-building families and even Qi training families, which also made the bidding for these three portions of Bailing Water extremely fierce.

They were auctioned by the Ye family of Hongye Ridge in Yunshui County and the other two Qi training families with deep background in the county city for 10,500 spiritual stones, 9,800 spiritual stones and 10,200 spiritual stones respectively.

As for the last three foundation-building pills, they were auctioned by the local power of Yunshui County, the Yang family of Pingyun Mountain, and the other two old foundation-building families in the county city.

After the auction of these spiritual objects, the auction ended.

Ling Pengyun and his family also followed the crowd leaving the market, left the auction house, and returned to Lingxiao Grocery Store.
