Chapter 293: The Show Starts
The first auction item sparked a fierce competition, making the atmosphere in the venue much more lively. Twenty million crystal stones were equivalent to four thousand Zhenyuan Pills, which was not a small amount for Shen Xiang. He worked hard to refine pills for a month and only got this much. This was when he had the medicinal materials. If he didn't have them, he would have to collect them himself, which was very troublesome.
Shen Xiang felt at ease making money from this nephew. Seeing his happy smile, Hua Xiangyue and Liu Meng'er finally understood the truth that "the more familiar you are, the darker you become."
The next one was a ninth-level spiritual weapon, a sword. Shen Xiang and the others had no interest in this. With a divine weapon like the Azure Dragon Demon Slayer Blade, they naturally looked down on these. Liu Meng'er was originally a master of weapon refining. If she needed it, she could just take some time to refine it.
However, this is very tempting to the sect leaders and clan leaders, because they want to use it to reward some outstanding disciples, which can also motivate other disciples. This is a common method used by many sects and families.
Soon, the auction became heated again. This ninth-level spiritual weapon was a rare item, and only people of certain status could afford to hire some powerful weapon refiners to refine it.
What surprised Shen Xiang was that this ninth-level spiritual weapon was finally acquired by Lian Yingxiao, the owner of Lotus Island, for 45 million crystal stones.
Shen Xiang took a deep breath. It was the first time he knew that a ninth-level spiritual weapon was so expensive. He glanced at Liu Meng'er, and Liu Meng'er turned her head to look at him and blinked at him.
"This is a rich woman!" Shen Xiang sighed in his heart. Liu Meng'er is a master of refining weapons. She is someone who can refine treasure weapons. Refining spiritual weapons is even easier for her. With her fame, the things she refines can be sold at a higher price.
Shen Xiang felt that the little wealth he possessed was nothing in the eyes of these masters. If Liu Meng'er could just refine a few powerful spiritual weapons, it would be more than the wealth he had accumulated for a long time.
"Sister Meng'er, how long does it take you to refine a ninth-level spiritual weapon?" Shen Xiang asked curiously, while also preparing himself to be hit.
"It may take at least a month, or at most ten days! But I haven't refined it for a long time." Liu Meng'er said leisurely. Shen Xiang had already prepared himself mentally, but he was still greatly stimulated.
"Meng'er has ten outstanding weapon-refining masters under her command. Most orders are taken by them. Meng'er, please take orders for treasure weapons and above directly now." Hua Xiangyue said with a smile.
Liu Meng'er nodded. The palace of the Divine Weapon Kingdom was the former Divine Weapon Sect. Liu Meng'er was in charge of many famous weapon refiners, and she could also get a lot of wealth from them. Shen Xiang felt terrified just thinking about it.
He looked at those boxes and clenched his fists. He swore that one day he would surpass these masters. Now he was just an ant in front of these giants.
"You can refine powerful pills. Even a refiner of Liu Meng'er's level has to curry favor with you." Su Meiyao seemed to know Shen Xiang's current mood.
"That's right, even Xueyi, the Little Dragon Girl, has to curry favor with you." Bai Youyou said. Shen Xiang suspected that it was because she had lost her power for too long, so she gradually "awoke" from the ruthless magic power and even knew how to make jokes. Although it was not that funny, this change made Shen Xiang and Su Meiyao very happy.
Several auction items were spiritual tools, either weapons or armor. The cheapest one was an eighth-level hammer, which cost 30 million crystals! The most expensive one was a set of armor, a ninth-level spiritual tool, which cost 50 million crystals.
Shen Xiang has always had the Azure Dragon Demon-Slaying Blade and the Black Tortoise Vajra Armor, so he has no demand for these and naturally does not know their market prices.
"This is just the beginning. Let those who are attending this kind of auction for the first time get used to it." Hua Xiangyue said.
Shen Xiang felt that his previous foundation-building pills were already very valuable, but he did not expect that these spiritual weapons were even more expensive, which made him feel a little unbalanced.
"Little rascal, elixirs are different from spiritual weapons. Once you buy elixirs, you eat them to improve your strength, but spiritual weapons need to be carried on your body for a long time, especially powerful spiritual weapons, which can save your life! And they can also make people feel proud, and at the same time, they can greatly improve a person's strength! In this kind of auction, high-level elixirs rarely appear, because that kind of thing is rarer than spiritual weapons and treasures!" Liu Meng'er explained when she saw Shen Xiang's expression.
Shen Xiang nodded. The value of an alchemist can only be reflected if he can refine higher-level pills. Because for an alchemist to reach the level of Pill King, it requires countless precious spiritual medicines, which is not comparable to that of a high-level weapon refiner.
The next auction item was the Yuan Shen Pill. Shen Xiang looked at Liu Meng'er and said with a smile: "Sister Meng'er, it's up to you!"
Hua Xiangyue gnashed her teeth and said, "I must make Yue Jianglin bleed profusely."
Liu Meng'er didn't have any good feelings towards Yue Jianglin. Among the eight major sects, there were almost no bigwigs who had a good impression of Yue Jianglin, because no one could stand the bad temper of Ao Jianzong. He was not strong, but was extremely arrogant.
If there aren't enough Yuanshen Pills, they won't be of much use to warriors above the Nirvana Realm. However, they are very useful to warriors below the Ultimate Realm. Shen Xiang only took one pill, and his soul became much bigger, which shows the mental power contained in it.
However, the value of this Yuanshen Pill is only one or two million crystals at most. If it is not urgently needed, no one will increase the price above this amount.
"The Yuanshen Pill is a kind of pill that can quickly improve spiritual consciousness. It is an ancient pill that has not appeared in the Chenwu Continent for a long time. However, everyone should know about its medicinal effects from ancient books!"
Mrs. Li introduced the Yuanshen Pill, and everyone was familiar with it. If the price was not too high, everyone planned to buy one to try.
"The starting price is five hundred thousand crystal stones!" Not long after Mrs. Li's sweet voice was heard, the head of the Ao Jian Sect, Yue Jianglin, could no longer sit still.
"One million." Yue Jianglin shouted.
"One million and one hundred thousand." This was actually the headmaster of Zhenwu Sect, Tang Yichao.
"One million, three hundred thousand." This voice belonged to the owner of Lotus Island. Everyone was familiar with it because he had just bought two things.
"One million and a half million." Yue Jianglin didn't expect that so many people would compete with him for it. He felt a little annoyed because he had been waiting for this Yuanshen Pill for a long time.
Those who are fighting for it now are the heads of the sects, even Gu Dongchen has joined in. They are all curious about the effects of the Yuanshen Pill and whether it is the same as recorded in ancient books.
Soon, the price reached three million crystals. Tang Yichao had withdrawn, and the stingy head master Gu Dongchen also withdrew. Now only Lotus Island Master Lian Yingxiao and Yue Jianglin were competing.
In addition to the Foundation Establishment Pill, Lian Yingxiao had competed for other auction items. His voice was always so gentle and soft, as if he regarded money as dirt.
Five million...six million...seven million...Lian Yingxiao was actually competing with Yue Jianglin without any hurry.
After a fierce competition, the number has reached nine million crystals!
"Ten million, I want it!" Yue Jianglin's voice was low and angry, with an annoying and arrogant tone.
