Chapter 159 Fierce competition! (Supplementary chapter)
The auction was held at the Qingyuan Hall in Baiyun Fairy City.
The Green Ape Hall covers an area of thousands of feet, and the internal space is huge enough to accommodate thousands of monks participating at the same time.
It is a place specially built by Baiyun Fairy City to hold large-scale events.
Early that morning, Zhou Xun took Song Yiqing and Wang Erniu to participate in the auction held once every ten years.
Arrive at the entrance of Qingyuan Hall.
I saw twelve guards in the late stages of Qi training, wearing standard spirit armor and holding long spears, lined up in two rows, guarding both sides of the entrance.
There is also a foundation-building monk in the middle who is responsible for welcoming them.
It is Fengting Li.
That day at Jinyun Valley Baiyun Station, because his residence was also outside, he escaped a disaster.
On the other hand, Yan Lei and Lu Jinwu fell directly on the spot.
"Alchemist Zhou, please come quickly, please come quickly!" Feng Tingli greeted politely.
“Friend Feng Dao!” Zhou Xun also returned the gift with his hand.
After a brief greeting, Zhou Xun entered the Green Ape Hall under the leadership of a servant.
The waiter took Zhou Xun directly to Private Room A 17, which was specially assigned to Zhou Xun.
There are a total of fifty private rooms like this, and only people with high enough status can have them.
Not long after we sat down, two beautiful maids came in carrying spiritual wine and spiritual fruits. After putting them down, they bowed and left.
"Er Niu, after looking at the auction list, do you have any favorite treasures?" Zhou Xun asked Wang Er Niu, looking at him.
“There are two of them, the spirit-melting stone and the silver essence. It’s just that the spirit stone is not enough, so I might need some support from my eldest brother!”
Wang Erniu was a little embarrassed. said.
Spirit-melting stones and silver essences are rare and precious spiritual materials. They are often used to refine top-grade magic weapons. They are even occasionally used as auxiliary materials in some low-grade magic weapons.
According to the market price, the two spiritual materials add up to about six thousand spiritual stones. Even if there is a premium at the auction, it will not exceed too much.
“You can bid boldly, and my brother will tell you the truth!”
Zhou Xun waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
“Thank you, brother!” Wang Erniu nodded and said gratefully.
"Yiqing, where are you!" Zhou Xun asked the girl next to him.
“I am of low cultivation, I can’t even use the treasures here!” Song Yiqing whispered softly.
She was able to break through to the fourth level of Qi training a few months ago, and the items on sale here are all top-grade magic weapons at the lowest level.
Hearing this, Zhou Xun didn't say anything, but glanced at the auction list, and his eyes fell on the "Beauty Pill" on it.
How can it be useless? This beauty pill is a treasure that countless female cultivators yearn for.
Probably because of its price.
Zhou Xun once bought one at Baiyundanfang, with a 10% discount and a price of 3,600 spirit stones. At this auction, the price was high but not low.
I sighed and made a decision in my heart.
More than an hour later, the auction officially began.
The person responsible for presiding over the ceremony is Zhou Buqi, the chief steward.
"Welcome to all of you to participate in our once-in-a-decade auction event in Baiyun Immortal City. Not next week, but I will be the host of today's auction."
After a long opening remarks, the auction officially began.
“The first auction item is five genuine Foundation Establishment Pills!”
Hearing the news of the five Foundation Establishment Pills, the people in the venue made a fuss.
“Baiyun Fairy City is truly extraordinary!”
"You are worthy of the light of my casual cultivator!" "Magnificent, Master Baiyun!"
Even Zhou Xun couldn't help but be amazed by the generosity of Immortal City.
As a strategic material, Foundation Building Pills are extremely difficult to buy even if you have money. None of the major pill shops in Baiyun Immortal City sell them.
If most monks want to obtain this elixir, they can only collect the materials themselves and ask a second-level alchemist to refine it.
For example, the Lin family prepared the materials themselves and asked Zhou Xun to take action.
Originally, when he saw the name of Foundation Establishment Pills on the auction list, Zhou Xun thought there were only two or at most three pills, but he didn’t expect that there were as many as five pills.
Not to mention Baiyun now. A large number of foundation-building monks were killed in the battle in Immortal City, which further highlights the preciousness of this object!
With a thought in his mind, Zhou Xun quickly figured it out.
For one thing, the power of Baiyun Immortal City lies in Zhenren Baiyun, not in those foundation-building monks.
Secondly, Baiyun Immortal City had just suffered a heavy blow, so it was even more necessary to show calmness and magnanimity instead of being fussy.
It should be noted that the more urgent the moment, the more calm you must be; the more vulnerable the moment is, the more ferocious you must show!
Zhou Buqi looked at the lively atmosphere in the venue, nodded with satisfaction, and continued:
"The base price is four thousand spirit stones, and each increase must not be less than one hundred spirit stones. The auction begins now. The first one"
"Five thousand spiritual stones!" A middle-aged man's voice came from a private room not far from Zhou Xun.
"I want to buy a Foundation Establishment Pill for five thousand spirit stones. The Hu family master must be overconfident. I will pay you six thousand spirit stones!"
Another sharp male voice rang out.
"Yu Laosi, there are five Foundation Establishment Pills. Why do you want to compete with me? I'll pay you seven thousand!" The middle-aged voice was unhurried, with a hint of joking, and he added another thousand.
“Haha, Master Hu is so brave, I’ll give this elixir to you!” The sharp man sounded like he was succeeding in his treacherous plan.
“Yu Laosi, you!” There was a hint of anger in the middle-aged man’s voice.
The price of seven thousand spirit stones has already reached a premium of 50%.
Ordinary private transaction prices for Foundation Establishment Pills are around four thousand to five thousand spirit stones.
But the words have been exported and naturally cannot be recycled.
Soon, the first Foundation Building Pill was taken by the "Hu family leader" with seven thousand spirit stones.
Then the second one started to be auctioned.
As soon as Zhou Buqi finished speaking, the sharp male voice rang out again:
“Seven thousand spirit stones!”
“Master Hu, Yu also took out seven thousand spirit stones today. The price, you might say that I’m driving up the price!”
It’s seven thousand spiritual stones, and the price has nearly doubled, which shocked everyone in the audience.
Soon, the second Foundation Establishment Pill was won by this "Yu Laosi" for the same price of 7,000 spirit stones.
"Brother Yu, your strategy is good. Both of you and I have obtained a Foundation Establishment Pill. Although the price is a bit higher, we can still afford it!"
The middle-aged man said in a message.
"Haha, three months before this auction was when the Golden Cloud Valley was opened. There were many more monks than in the previous auctions!"
"Could those people still want to Just like before, just four or five thousand people want to get a Foundation Establishment Pill!" The sharp man sneered.
Before the auction, the two of them made a strategy of bidding against each other and took the opportunity to win two Foundation Establishment Pills. It doesn't matter if the price is higher.
As long as you can get the Foundation Establishment Pill, it's all worth it.
Soon, the remaining three Foundation Establishment Pills were also auctioned off, and none of them were priced lower than 7,000.
The last one was sold for eight thousand spirit stones!
This auction of the Foundation Establishment Pill made many monks who had participated in previous Baiyun Immortal City auctions realize that the competition was too fierce!
Sure enough, in the next few auctions, the prices sold were 10% to 20% higher than those in previous auctions.
Strategic resources such as the Foundation Building Pill and the Mirror-breaking Pill command a premium of more than 50%.
Soon, the auction of the spirit-melting stone that Wang Erniu was interested in started.
