Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

As He Xuan clapped his hands again, this time ten female cultivators stepped up, each holding a tray in their hands.

Each female cultivator's tray contained only a pure white jade elixir bottle, slightly translucent, allowing a glimpse of the golden elixir pills within.

He Xuan took one of the elixir bottles and uncapped it, releasing a surge of pure spiritual energy instantly.

Many cultivators' divine senses hurriedly attached to it.

Lin Shiming too was experiencing the Foundation Establishment Pill with his divine sense for the first time, feeling the unbelievably pure and enormous spiritual energy, which even carried a hint of cool chilliness.

After a moment, He Xuan resealed the elixir bottle, placed it back on the tray, and spoke again:

"Fellow Daoists, I regret to inform you all of a piece of news."

"This year, there was a mishap in the Qingxuan Sect's Yellow Grade Secret Realm, and the harvest of the Illusionary Heart Grass was not favorable, so the quota of Foundation Establishment Pills for these ten years has greatly decreased compared to previous years!"

"For this auction, there are only thirty Foundation Establishment Pills available!"

As He Xuan finished speaking, the loose cultivators in the crowd immediately started to discuss among themselves.

Ten years ago, there were an entire hundred Foundation Establishment Pills!

And now, there aren't even one third of that number.

Especially those Qi Cultivation peak loose cultivators and Qi Cultivation families were particularly critical, with the most vehement discussions.

The Lin Family also felt a moment of alarm, especially Lin Shiming, thinking that if he had just confronted the Huang Family, this trip for the Foundation Establishment Pills would undoubtedly have faced difficulty. They had only prepared a total of 130,000 Spirit Stones for this time.

Even if the Lin Family's old patriarch and elders were to contribute Spirit Stones, it would probably amount to only around 160,000 to 170,000 Spirit Stones.

If they spent Spirit Stones in the auction earlier, they would most likely end up merely looking on helplessly.

That Huangyun Qi from the Huang Family certainly had to be credited for his excellent acting skills!

"Silence!" He Xuan shouted once more, suppressing the commotion once again.

"Although there are only thirty Foundation Establishment Pills, the quota for the cultivating families and loose cultivators this time will be proportionally increased. There are ten Foundation Establishment Pills for them, and the Purple Mansion Family's quota for competing for Foundation Establishment Pills is reduced to twenty!"

"In addition, you must have felt that the treasures auctioned just now are far superior to those at the last grand event, and this time's final auction item includes a Fourth Rank Spirit Boat magical treasure!"

Following He Xuan's words, although the cultivators still had their criticisms, they refrained from further discussion.

Upstairs, the Purple Mansion Family didn't seem to react much, as if they had known all along.

In this moment, the most worried person was Lin Shiming's father, Lin Hou Yuan.

With the highest Contribution Points within the family, and his son Lin Shiming performing exceptionally well, the natural choice for using the Foundation Establishment Pill was Lin Hou Yuan.

Facing the competition for ten Foundation Establishment Pills from nearly a hundred Foundation Establishment families and Qi Cultivation loose cultivators in Yunzhou and Qingzhou, one could imagine the great difficulty involved.

At this moment, it wasn't just Lin Hou Yuan who was frowning in concern; Lin Xianzhi felt the same.

The appearance of a magical Spirit Boat was not good news; a Fourth Rank Spirit Boat magical treasure also had another name: War Treasure Ship.

There, He Xuan also began the auction for the Foundation Establishment Pills:

"No need for further ado. The first batch of Foundation Establishment Pills, each sold separately, starting at a base price of 50,000 Spirit Stones, with each increase no less than 1,000!"

With He Xuan's words concluded, some cultivators who had been resting with eyes closed now all became active.

Especially those wearing spirit-screening veils—most of these were loose cultivators, or those with weaker abilities.

Fearing that they would be killed and robbed after purchasing Foundation Establishment Pills, they had been waiting for an opportunity.

"91,000 Spirit Stones!"

"93,000 Spirit Stones!"

…

The starting price of the Foundation Establishment Pills shot up directly from 90,000 Spirit Stones, nearly doubling the starting bid, showing just how desperate the Qi Cultivation peak cultivators were.

And to know, ten years ago at that grand event, the starting price for a Foundation Establishment Pill was only 30,000 Spirit Stones, and the final transaction price was around 100,000 Spirit Stones.

This once-a-decade opportunity was also almost the only chance in the lives of these Loose Cultivators.

Without a Foundation Establishment Pill, to forcefully attempt Foundation Establishment meant a nine in ten chance of death!

In the face of this critical juncture, all considerations of face for Foundation Establishment clans were cast aside without a second thought.

The final bid ended directly at 138,000 Spirit Stones!

The Lin Family made a bid, but the Huang Family countered with a higher offer, so they did not continue bidding.

It was obtained by a Foundation Establishment clan from Qingzhou, which also had a business in Qingxuan City, hence they were extremely wealthy and powerful.

"The second Foundation Establishment Pill, we continue with the starting bid of 50,000!" He Xuan spoke again.

Once more, the Loose Cultivators and the various clans were red-eyed and necks bulging as they bid frantically.

It was thought that the second pill might bring calmer bids, but the price was quoted directly at 150,000 Spirit Stones, and was similarly obtained by a cultivator from a Qingzhou clan.

As for the cultivators from Yunzhou clans, they became mere spectators.

"Let's get the next one!" Lin Xianzhi decisively made up his mind, no longer hesitating.

If the auction continued like this, those red-eyed Loose Cultivators would surely drive the price to astronomical levels. Before, with thirty pills, it was manageable. With 100,000 Spirit Stones, one could definitely get a pill, the only worry being how to safely bring the Foundation Establishment Pill back.

But now, with only ten pills, the prices were skyrocketing!

"130,000 Spirit Stones!" As the third pill's auction started, Lin Xianzhi straightaway bid the highest price the Lin Family was willing to offer!

Instantly, this stunned many people, however, the old man Huangyun Qi from the Huang Family also stood up sharply, sweeping a glance at Lin Xianzhi before making his bid.

"130,100 Spirit Stones!"

After calling out the bid, he did not forget to give Lin Xianzhi another glance.

It was a pity that this deliberate attempt to humiliate him was completely ignored by Lin Xianzhi.

"150,000 Spirit Stones!"

"150,100 Spirit Stones!" Huangyun Qi once again added just a thousand Spirit Stones.

"180,000!"

"Good, congratulations to you!" Huangyun Qi did not continue bidding.

At this moment, the Lin Family had made the highest bid for a Foundation Establishment Pill, causing a sensation throughout the venue.

"Fellow He, I only have 130,000 Spirit Stones. Let's auction and mortgage three Third Rank Foundation Establishment Magic Artifacts as well!"

As he spoke, Lin Xianzhi waved his Storage Bag, and three Foundation Establishment Magic Artifacts instantly flew towards He Xuan.

As the magic artifacts appeared, Huangyun Qi's body jolted fiercely once again, his gaze fixed intently on Lin Xianzhi, almost wishing he could tear Lin Xianzhi to pieces right there and then!

Those three Third Rank Magical Artifacts were precisely the relics of two Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the Huang Family.

At this moment, with Lin Xianzhi blatantly selling them off, it was more than just a slap in the face; it was a complete disregard for the Huang Family.

"Fellow Daoist, these three Third Rank Magical Artifacts are unremarkable, normally priced around 80,000 Spirit Stones, but as a mortgage now, they can only be valued at 64,000 Spirit Stones!" He Xuan paid no attention to Huangyun Qi.

Of course, if Huangyun Qi did not know what was good for him, He Xuan would not mind making an example out of him!

"Fine, being able to mortgage them for 50,000 Spirit Stones is good enough, after all, they were just picked up!" Lin Xianzhi spoke again, nearly causing Huangyun Qi to spit out a mouthful of old blood from rage.

Lin Xianzhi handed over the remaining 116,000 Spirit Stones to He Xuan, then took the Foundation Establishment Pill and walked outside.

The Lin Family naturally would not participate in the rest of the auction; competing for Purple Mansion Magical Treasures or Purple Mansion Spirit Pills and marvelous medicines, they could not match others.

Almost at the same time as the Lin Family left, numerous cultivators also stealthily exited the scene, among them many from the Huang Family.

And on the second floor of the rooms...
