Chapter 502 - 191: The Second Ye Yanshu Level, One Million Orders—My Lord Invites You!
"Although it has passed through another hand, this way, I can separate my identity in front of people like Chen Xiao’Er, so it’s worth it.
This can be considered a bit of compensation to that Fellow Daoist Wang."
Zhou Changwang sat in the auction hall, his gaze flickering slightly.
Taking out some Spirit Pills for auction was indeed a decision he made on the spur of the moment. After all, these Spirit Pills were not of much use to him, so he might as well exchange them for some Spirit Stones.
Moreover, he was determined to open a second sales channel.
Relying solely on Shen Xinyue’s side was convenient, but the risk resistance was too weak.
Although Shuiyun Pavilion was an industry of the Shuiyun Immortal Sect, the Divine Wind Valley Marketplace was too far from the Shuiyun Immortal Sect. Ordinary cultivators would take more than a month to travel there, and under such circumstances, it was difficult for most cultivators to feel any awe towards Shuiyun Pavilion.
Moreover, regardless of which sect’s disciple, in public it might be fine, but in private, if someone dies, it’s usually not pursued too seriously.
The Cultivation Realm is fundamentally a place where the weak are prey to the strong, and ordinary disciples are nothing significant; the sect would not go to great lengths for them.
Unless they are elite disciples or true disciples.
In other words, those widely referred to as cultivators above Foundation Establishment.
Therefore, in major sects, there has always been a saying that those below Foundation Establishment are mere ants.
Besides, the reason Zhou Changwang asked Wang Tianshuo to do this was also due to the trust built up over continuous transactions, and to offer some compensation and gratitude.
After all, the Substitute Talisman left by the other party had indeed helped him block that strike.
Before long, the auction proceeded as scheduled.
This time, the auction was presided over by Chen Xiao’Er.
After some routine introductions, she immediately brought out the first auctioned item.
Top Grade Rejuvenation Pill!
Zhou Changwang unexpectedly raised his eyebrows.
He hadn’t expected the Rejuvenation Pill he submitted to be the first to be auctioned.
"Even if I don’t say it, I believe everyone has heard about the effects of the Rejuvenation Pill.
Recently, this Rejuvenation Pill has caused a stir within the Divine Wind Valley Marketplace.
Even I found it irresistible to purchase one after hearing about it."
This time, the auctioned item is a Top Grade Rejuvenation Pill. The effect of a single pill can slow aging by twenty years for a cultivator, and it also has a strong whitening and beautifying effect, almost akin to eternal youth.
There are three in total. The starting bid for one is seven thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, with each bid increment not less than one hundred Lower-Grade Spirit Stones."
Chen Xiao’Er introduced directly, with her voice full of excitement.
To be honest, if these three Rejuvenation Pills weren’t already up for auction, she would have been tempted to keep one.
But rules are rules, and naturally, she couldn’t break them.
Fortunately, after receiving the news, she had timely asked a familiar friend to bid for her, striving to secure one.
As expected.
The Top Grade Rejuvenation Pill holds an immense appeal for female cultivators.
Even without much promotion, nearly all of the dozen female cultivators at the scene started bidding immediately.
In just the blink of an eye, the price soared to over ten thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.
Ultimately, it was taken down by a Seventh-Layer Qi Cultivation female cultivator in brown clothing for fifteen thousand seven hundred Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.
The subsequent two Top Grade Rejuvenation Pills fetched even higher prices.
One went for seventeen thousand three hundred Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, and the other for nineteen thousand nine hundred Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, just a hundred stones short of reaching twenty thousand.
It can be seen that no matter where, women are willing to pay a hefty price for beauty and appearance.
The second item was a Top-Grade Magical Artifact Poison Smoke Gourd, said to be specially created by absorbing countless poisonous fumes and miasma from the Divine Wind Valley, with a starting bid of one thousand five hundred Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.
For this, Zhou Changwang had no interest.
He didn’t bid.
The third item was a top-grade magical artifact, and the fourth was a top-grade Dharma Robe called the Feathered Robe, not only possessing strong defensive properties but also being extremely beautiful and lovely, giving the wearer an ethereal appearance.
Finally, it was taken by a female cultivator for nineteen thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.
It turned out not to be as valuable as the Top Grade Beauty Pill, leaving many cultivators to grumble internally.
Indeed, to female cultivators, beauty is priceless, and such life-saving items are not as valued.
Subsequently, items went up for auction one by one, including the Jade Flower Pill and Rejuvenation Pill brought out by Zhou Changwang.
A group of ten, quite large in quantity, but also relatively limited the number of bidders.
Therefore, to allow more people to benefit and to command higher prices, they were divided into five bottles per auction.
Overall, the prices were two to three times higher than what could be bought on the market, so after deducting the auction fee, it was still quite profitable.
At the auction, item after item went up for sale.
Earth Escape Talisman, Top-Grade Magical Artifact Flying Sword, top-grade magical artifact shield, Ten Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Jade Plate...
The enthusiasm for bidding remained high.
Zhou Changwang, when encountering something of interest, would also place a bid, but if it exceeded a certain limit, he would not continue to bid.
Finally, the auction entered the final stage.
Various relatively precious treasures were brought out.
Substitute Talisman!
The starting bid was eight thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.
Zhou Changwang bid twice, raising it to twelve thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones, but still failed to take it, as it was eventually won by someone else for fifteen thousand Lower-Grade Spirit Stones.
This kind of talisman, how should I put it, its usefulness is significant indeed, but if you really encounter an unbeatable opponent, it can only help block one attack.
After one use, it still can’t withstand what it can’t withstand.
Therefore, while its usefulness is great, it isn’t as large as one might imagine.
