Chapter 503 - 191: The Second Ye Yanshu Level, One Million Orders, My Lord Invites You! (2)
Zhou Changwang hesitated for a moment and did not continue to bid higher.
The next item was the Foundation Establishment Spirit Object Twelve-Color Flower.
The Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object, also an extremely rare item, had a starting bid of forty thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.
Finally, it reached forty-eight thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones before someone took it.
Small Instant Teleportation Talisman!
Fifteen thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones starting bid.
For this talisman, although Zhou Changwang wasn’t determined to get it, he was very eager.
He continued to increase his bids and soon reached thirty thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.
At this point, there were relatively fewer cultivators competing, leaving only three.
Zhou Changwang decisively raised the bid by five thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones in one go.
"Thirty-five thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones."
Upon hearing this, the remaining two simply stayed silent and stopped speaking.
The last person, a Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator, took a deep look at Zhou Changwang and ultimately did not want to spend too much on it.
Thus, this Small Instant Teleportation Talisman was auctioned off to Zhou Changwang.
"Lastly.
The highlight item is the Foundation Condensation Pill, which can increase the Foundation Establishment success rate by ten percent for Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation cultivators.
If measured by its intrinsic value, this Foundation Condensation Pill wouldn’t qualify as a highlight item.
But its rarity and popularity surpass other treasures, hence it was extraordinarily chosen as the highlight.
Of course, most importantly, there are three Foundation Condensation Pills in this auction.
Although all three are at the Lower Grade level, their quality is slightly better than typical Lower-Grade Foundation Condensation Pills.
The impurity content is only sixty percent, with the best one nearing fifty percent.
I propose to start the bidding with the lowest quality one, with a starting bid of ten thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones."
Chen Xiao’Er quickly introduced.
"Fifteen thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones!"
"Seventeen thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones!"
"Eighteen thousand!"
...
In the end, a female Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation cultivator secured it for twenty-three thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.
The second one went for twenty-seven thousand.
The third one, due to its highest quality and being the last one left, was fiercely contested, and an elder-looking cultivator won it for thirty-three thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.
Thus, the auction ended.
Zhou Changwang successfully acquired the Small Instant Teleportation Talisman and walked slowly out of the auction hall.
In a short while, he saw a chubby cultivator walking towards him. The two passed each other quickly without stopping, with no change in their movements or pace.
But in the moment they crossed paths, as their clothes fluttered, a Storage Bag from the chubby cultivator inadvertently appeared at Zhou Changwang’s waist.
The coordination was seamless.
With a slight movement of his Spiritual Sense, he detected twenty thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.
Zhou Changwang’s face instantly revealed a hint of a smile, as it was close to his estimation of the Spirit Stones, and he was quite satisfied with Wang Tianshuo’s obedience.
Then, he entered a secret room in the Black Market.
Inside the secret room, Chen Xiao’Er and Feng Xue had been waiting for a long time.
"Senior, you’re here!"
They were discussing something when they saw Zhou Changwang, and Chen Xiao’Er hurriedly stood up and respectfully made a bow.
Feng Xue also saluted and said, "Fellow Daoist Changsheng, you’ve arrived."
"Greetings to both fellow Daoists."
Zhou Changwang also cupped his hands in return and then said, "I wonder if the Demon Pills I requested have been prepared, fellow Daoist?"
"Naturally, they are prepared.
This time, we almost emptied the Black Market’s stock, and also purchased a lot from some Cultivation Clans, all contained here."
There are nearly ten thousand Demon Pills in total, among which there are over a hundred Second Grade Demon Pills, more than two thousand High-Tier First Grade Demon Pills, over three thousand Mid-Tier First Grade Demon Pills, and over four thousand Low-Tier First Grade Demon Pills."
Chen Xiao’Er smiled slightly and quickly handed a Storage Bag to Zhou Changwang.
Zhou Changwang reached out to take it, his Spiritual Sense moved slightly, and indeed he ’saw’, within the Storage Bag, there were more than ten thousand Demon Pills, shining brightly.
One hundred and twenty-one Second Grade Demon Pills, with the remaining First Grade Spirit Pills totaling nine thousand eight hundred and eighty-seven, adding up to indeed exceed ten thousand.
"I wonder, how much are these Demon Pills priced at?"
Zhou Changwang was pleased in his heart, quickly raised his head, and asked.
"Market price, one million three hundred and forty thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.
For a senior like you, we only need one million two hundred thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones."
Chen Xiao’Er looked at Zhou Changwang and then spoke.
"Of course, as I mentioned before, if Fellow Daoist Changsheng is willing to join the Black Market, I can decide to offer a thirty percent discount on these Demon Pills."
Immediately after, Feng Xue added.
After all, these Demon Pills are worth over a million Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, so Feng Xue could not simply say that they would give them for free.
However, a thirty percent discount is substantial, totaling over three hundred thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.
It’s already enough to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill.
This shows how much Feng Xue, or rather the Black Market, values him.
"I’m rather curious, why does Fellow Daoist Feng insist on having me join the Black Market?
I consider myself not among the top in terms of strength and means, not enough to warrant such attention from Fellow Daoist Feng."
Zhou Changwang frowned slightly, ultimately not refusing outright, but instead asked back.
"Fellow Daoist hasn’t reached Foundation Establishment yet, right?"
Feng Xue mused slightly, then said, "In Divine Wind Valley, your leap over the cliff with ease left a strong impression on me.
The feat of decisively slaying a Foundation Establishment Flying Eagle, even if I could accomplish it, couldn’t do it as effortlessly as you.
If I’m not mistaken, you haven’t reached Foundation Establishment yet, but you already possess the Reverse Immortal Slaying, Reverse Slash capability at the Foundation Establishment level.
It rivals those prodigies from Major Sects, direct disciples, and surpasses even some Young Clan Leaders of Golden Core Clans in strength and potential.
