Immortal Taoist Lord: My Cultivation Have No Limits

Chapter 607: 193 Auction_2
 

“This auction is more like a battlefield of Asuras,” Su Yu inwardly thought. He dared not slack off even when he was staying inside a large inn, setting up multiple formations in the courtyard.

In a blink of an eye, half a month passed.

As Su Yu mingled amongst the crowd and entered a room in the business tower, several True Monarchs from the Nascent Soul Realm of Wanbao Trading Company also arrived, with their rooms located on the same floor as Su Yu.

After they entered, they looked down on the auction floor bustling with cultivators and the auction stage.

“Will the Pavilion Master of Yunxiao Dange come?” whispered one of the later-stage True Monarchs of the Nascent Soul Realm.

“Who knows… regardless of whether he comes or not, we just need to keep an eye on the Void Ore auction. It’s easy enough to investigate who participated afterward.”

“If we could find out about the power behind Yunxiao Dange, it would be perfect.”

“Three-tier top-quality elixirs…” exclaimed a Peak True Monarch from the Nascent Soul Realm: “Considering the four trading houses, including the Diling Trading Company and Yunxiao Dange’s own sales, they must be refining at least six thousand top-quality three-tier elixirs every year.”

“If our Wanbao Trading Company could control so many top-quality elixir resources, perhaps we could monopolize the elixir supply of the Immortal Palace. We could rely upon the Immortal Palace.”

The few of them discussed in low voices, their words teeming with greed.

Even though Su Yu had demonstrated his first-class fourth-tier formations as a warning to them.

But it’s not the top powers who made a move.

If there was a benefit that exceeds their fear of Wanbao Trading Company, the company would be willing to take a small risk.

Many cultivators trickled in towards the auction venue.

In his booth, Su Yu sensed Fan Xiao’s presence, causing him a momentary surprise. Luo Qianyu and Taoist Qingquan, however, didn’t come.

Those two had already returned to the sect to prepare their breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Because of this bottleneck, the two, who used to be ahead of Su Yu in cultivation, had now fallen behind him.

Fan Xiao appeared with two Core Formation cultivators, a man and a woman. They arrived at the room next to Su Yu. Although the room was isolated by formations, Su Yu had a slight nagging feeling. He couldn’t help using his Divine Skill, Jinchan’s Pupil Technique, to peek through to the next room.

Fan Xiao’s strength had increased rapidly. She once was only at the seventh level of Core Formation, but now she had reached the eighth level, not far from the peak of Core Formation.

Regarding her foundation, Su Yu was able to clearly see, through his Jinchan’s Pupil Technique, that his junior sister Fan Xiao had condensed a Six Transformation Golden Core!

“To secure the support of my grand-uncle Tianyu, my uncle Xiaoyu is key,” Fan Xiao said as she looked down at the auction venue through the formation barrier. “If I could gain the support of my grand-uncle Tianyu, I’d secure a solid footing in Unearthly Mansion.”

“I could then use my family’s influence to secure the support of Diling Fairy City. I may even have a chance to establish ties with the other fairy cities, and compete for the position of Mansion Lord against the other Daozis.”

The man and woman next to Fan Xiao frowned at her words.

The man sighed, “Junior sister, the Daozis have backing from Dividing Spirit Realm ancestors.”

“Trust me,” Fan Xiao remained firm. “As long as we manage this well, and provided that the elders don’t personally intervene, it’s still uncertain who the position of Mansion Lord will fall on.”

Su Yu, sitting in the booth next door, was thoughtful. Even though he couldn’t hear Fan Xiao and the others’ conversation, he could tell what they were saying by reading their lips.

‘My junior sister, who is only at the Core Formation stage, is already eyeing the position of Mansion Lord. She has quite the ambition,’ Su Yu thought with a slight frown.

However, from what he had observed, the junior sister’s foundation was indeed deep, and she had considerable assets.

A Six Transformation Golden Core, if she survived, had a great chance to reach the Dividing Spirit Realm.

There might even be a chance to push further upward.

As for the other three Daozis mentioned by Fan Xiao, Su Yu hadn’t met them and they seemed not to be in Unearthly Mansion. He guessed: ‘Could they be in the Wilderness?’

A part of the Unearthly Mansion’s Fairy Army was in the Wilderness.

The Wilderness referred to a desolate territory to the west of Daqian Cultivation World. The territory was teeming with the Demon Clan and magical beasts, bordering other Cultivation Worlds.

In the Wilderness, one might encounter cultivators from the Devil and Buddha Sects.

Devil and Buddha Sects are the norm in their territories. Still, in Daqian Cultivation World, cultivating via the traditional method was considered orthodox.

So far, Su Yu hadn’t seen cultivators from other regions — no, he had seen one before, Taoist Tianyu, who might be from another region.

It is a pity though, Su Yu doesn’t know much about the Wilderness, and there aren’t many books about the Wilderness in the Scripture Pavilion.

The auction below had officially begun.

The first item to be auctioned off was a fourth rank lower-grade Shape-shifting Fox Demon from the Demon Clan!

It was unclear who had tamed, possibly the Zhen Yuan Merchant Association or someone else, and the starting price was as high as one million middle-grade Spirit Stones, with each increase in price not less than fifty thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones.

Looking at the delicate and attractive fox demon on the stand, the cultivators in the audience were all in an uproar.

Many of the Core Formation cultivators were almost losing their sanity under the charm of the fox demon, their eyes almost falling out of their sockets.

However, a starting price of one million middle-grade Spirit Stones was not something a common person could afford.

After a while, a cultivator in one of the rooms finally made a bid.

In the end, this fox demon was auctioned off at a high price of two million six hundred and fifty thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones, almost equivalent to half a lower-grade magical tool.

Looking at the seductive fox demon, Su Yu understood why half-demons were born, indeed the charm of the alien race was quite unique.

The auction continued, Su Yu only bid on the materials he liked, he basically didn’t care about third-rank items anymore, now he only wanted to accumulate fourth-rank lower-grade materials and collect fourth-rank middle-grade materials.

A few days later.

The auction had reached its halfway point, and a thumb-sized bronze fragment was delivered to the auction stage.

“This is an unknown magical tool fragment, even a lower-grade magical tool’s edge cannot leave a mark on it,” The auctioneer introduced the fragment in his hand, “For now, this fragment can still be recognized as its master, it can be used as a hidden weapon, and its power is not weak.”

“The starting price, one hundred thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones, each increase in price not less than ten thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones.”

The auction venue was suddenly a bit quiet.

A magical tool fragment — one hundred thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones, what a ridiculous idea!

However, in the box, Su Yu looked at the bronze fragment and was overjoyed, “What an unexpected gain!”

Just as it was about to pass without a bid, Su Yu put in a bid of one hundred thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones and won the fragment.

Soon.

Someone delivered the fragment to him, he paid the Spirit Stones, and got the fragment.

Fan Xiao and the other two in the next box looked slightly strange, especially Fan Xiao. She had found the fragment in the Heavenly Demon Holy Forest and casually brought it to the auction.

She had not expected that it would be the person in the box next to hers who would win this item.

‘Could it be that he knows what magical tool this fragment is from?’ Fan Xiao wondered to herself.

Meanwhile.

Su Yu placed the fragment into the space of his Qingyue Ring, without hurry to let it merge into the Refining Qi Pot.

But he was quite hopeful: “Now that the Refining Qi Pot can already condense mid-grade fourth-grade Spiritual Liquid, then after merging with this fragment, will it be able to condense top-tier fourth-grade Spiritual Liquid? Or even fifth-grade Spiritual Liquid?”

The auction continued, and more and more good things came up.

The battle in the Heavenly Demon Holy Forest had indeed brought good gains to many people.

Over the next few days, Su Yu obtained more than two thousand batches of fourth-grade Alchemy materials, and many fourth-grade Formation, Puppet, and other materials. Although it cost him more than five hundred thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones, it was all worth it.

The appearance of Void Stone materials was even earlier than the three Heavenly Demon Holy Elixirs that he had put up.

The thousand-pound Void Stone material, which was only about ten squares in size on the auction stage, had a starting price of one million middle-grade Spirit Stones, each price increase not less than ten thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones.

This quantity was enough for Su Yu to build a teleportation array.

There were not many people competing for this material, but the competition was fierce, and the price biting.

It wasn’t until Su Yu offered two million seven hundred thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones that he barely managed to get this Void Stone material. This price once again shocked the cultivators present.
