Chapter 97: Missed opportunity
After this commotion, especially after discovering that there were experts from the foundation building stage participating in the bidding, everyone in the audience felt as if they had been showered with cold water, and their hearts suddenly became cold.
After all, with the financial resources of a foundation-building stage master, how could an ordinary Qi-refining stage monk be able to defeat him?
Although many people are filled with resentment, they dare not express their anger.
Qin Tian in the elegant room also had a solemn expression.
Until this moment, Qin Tian finally understood why during the previous treasure auction, so few bidders were waiting for the final treasure, the Foundation Establishment Pill!
Qin Tian can also guess a little bit about the reasons why foundation-building masters bid for foundation-building pills. Considering the scarcity of elixirs in the world of immortality today, this move is nothing more than preparation for future generations.
Although Qin Tian was helpless in this regard, seeing the bidding prices soaring in the field, he still reluctantly participated in several bids.
But when the price exceeded 200,000 spirit stones and continued to soar, Qin Tian could only grit his teeth and give up even though he was extremely unwilling to do so.
After all, with his current net worth, according to this rising price trend, he can’t afford it even if he goes bankrupt!
And now, all the Qi Refining monks in the auction venue have become spectators.
Soon, the tea time passed.
At this time, the auction price has soared to a sky-high price of 300,000 spirit stones, and there are only a few bidders still participating in the auction, and they are all from the private rooms on the second floor.
Finally, after a fierce competition, when the price exceeded 400,000, the venue fell into silence again.
After a long time, the old man He Chaosheng counted three times. After no one bid again, he announced that the auction was over on the spot!
Seeing this scene, Qin Tian could only sigh helplessly.
Although I missed out on a Foundation Establishment Pill, fortunately, this auction was well worth the trip.
Not only did he gain a lot of knowledge, but he also basically confirmed the identity of the pills in Xuan Lie's legacy. As long as the seals and restrictions on them were unlocked, he could get two foundation-building pills for free!
A whole two pieces!
Thinking of this, Qin Tian only felt that the foundation was in sight, and his mood improved greatly.
As the auction ended, everyone below began to leave the venue one after another.
Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
When Qin Tian saw this, he suddenly understood. Without saying anything, he flicked his sleeves and robe, and the door opened directly, revealing the two people standing outside.
The first person was a middle-aged monk. He was dressed in fine silk and satin and dressed like a businessman. His cultivation level was at the peak of Qi Refining. Behind him was a maid in green clothes holding a tray.
After the two of them went inside and explained their intention, Qin Tian took out the VIP token of the Loose Cultivators Alliance without any ink, so as to enjoy a 10% discount.
In the end, after paying the price of 927 middle-grade spiritual stones, Qin Tian took the "Spirit-Fixing Pill" and the "Shock Stone" into his pocket!
Luyao and Tao Ran on the side were not surprised by Qin Tian's generous spending.
After all, Qin Tian single-handedly killed Luo Laoliu and his gang that day. With only the loot, it was not surprising that he had such financial resources.
After the transaction was completed, Qin Tian seemed to suddenly remember something and quickly turned his head to look down at the auction venue. With his spiritual thoughts, he quickly spotted Yan Yang in the crowd.
At this moment, he had a depressed look on his face and was among the crowd leaving the venue.
Seeing this scene, Qin Tian raised the corners of his mouth slightly, thinking about it...
On the street, Yan Yang, with a look of resentment on his face, was walking toward the city gate rather unhappily.
Some time ago, he unexpectedly learned about the scarcity of materials such as the Shock Stone. Yan Yang, who is a weapon refiner and is very keen on refining side magic weapons, naturally rushed here without stopping to collect it. Put it in the bag.
Originally, according to Yan Yang's speculation, although the Shock Stone is scarce, it is an unpopular mineral material, and there should not be many bidders.
But he never expected that Cheng Yaojin would appear halfway and ruin his good deeds.
That was fine, what made him most uncomfortable was that he missed the Foundation Establishment Pill.
God knows how excited Yan Yang was when he accidentally learned that the final treasure was the Foundation Establishment Pill after he came to Kanghai City!
Now, Yan Yang was so depressed and angry that he couldn't breathe as he watched two treasures being taken away one after another.
Just like that, Yan Yang, who was in despair, walked towards the city gate with dull eyes, completely unaware of the figure in black robe following him from a distance in the crowd behind him.
After a stick of incense, just when Yan Yang was about to arrive at the city gate, a sound of transmission suddenly sounded in his ears.
"I have news about the Shocking Stone in my hands. If you need it, you can leave the city from the east gate and look for me on the deserted island thousands of miles north."
Hearing this, Yan Yang was startled for a moment, then his face filled with surprise and suspicion, he turned his head and looked around.
After some searching, I finally found a figure in black robes, rushing towards the east gate with a hint of "panic".
This person came to me so clearly, he was obviously well prepared!
Seeing this scene, Yan Yang couldn't help but feel a little wary.
But when he thought of the Shocking Stone, his heart couldn't help but feel hot. After a while, he finally comforted himself and made up his mind:
"When I made the bid just now, many people knew that I wanted to buy the Shocking Stone. Maybe this person really wants to trade! Besides, this person's cultivation level is only at the eighth level of Qi Refining. I'm still afraid that he won't succeed!"
Thinking of this, Yan Yang felt a little relieved, and then he no longer hesitated and walked quickly towards the east gate...
On a lively street in Kanghai City, two figures in black robes walked side by side.
Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be Tao Ran and Lu Yao.
"Fellow Tao Dao, what do you think Qin Tian is doing?"
Lu Yao asked with a puzzled look on her face, and looked around from time to time while speaking, as if she was deliberately looking for something.
Tao Ran, who was standing by, couldn't help but smile bitterly and said:
"This... Tao doesn't know, but seeing that Fellow Daoist Qin is in a hurry, I guess there is something important. We will go back to the courtyard and wait as agreed, and we will know later!"
Hearing this, Lu Yao immediately showed a trace of resentment, and said bitterly:
"Hmph! This Fellow Daoist Qin Tian is really a big air, leaving us aside, and being mysterious, it's obvious that he has nothing good up his sleeve!"
Tao Ran smiled awkwardly when he heard this, but he didn't respond. Obviously, he was also a little curious...
On the other side, about a thousand miles away from Kanghai City, Qin Tian, dressed in a black robe, was flying on a sword, and behind him, about a few miles away, there was a figure of a bearded man following closely.
On closer inspection, it was Yan Yang!
At this moment, Yan Yang was standing on a flying sword, a top-grade magical weapon. His robe was shining with aura, isolating the strong wind during flight. It was obviously some kind of auxiliary treasure. In his hand, he was secretly holding a small round shield. Judging from the magic patterns on the shield, it was also a top-grade magical weapon!
It can be seen that as a weapon refiner, although he was sometimes short of money, he was definitely not short of various rare magical weapons!
