Chapter 13 Auction

The girl in the yellow skirt thought about it, took out a jade box, opened it and handed it to Wang Hao. Inside was a twenty-year-old red blood ginseng.

"Twenty-year-old red blood ginseng is still a first-level spiritual medicine, not what I need!" Wang Hao already had this thing. He only needed to plant it in the red soil. After five or six years, he could harvest a hundred-year-old red blood ginseng. A hundred-year-old red blood ginseng is already a second-level spiritual medicine. However, to refine the foundation-building pill, you need a second-level top-grade red blood ginseng, at least two hundred years old. Wang Hao needs to plant it for ten years!

The girl in the yellow skirt frowned when she heard it, and took out another jade box. After opening it, there was a snow-white lotus inside, emitting bursts of coldness.

"White Snow Lotus?" Wang Hao's eyes lit up. This white snow lotus is an auxiliary medicine in the foundation-building pill, and it is exactly what he lacks.

Snow lotus has the effect of calming the mind. The main drugs of the foundation-building pill are powerful and violent, so some auxiliary drugs are needed to eliminate these negative effects. Snow lotus is to stabilize the mind of the cultivator and avoid going astray.

Wang Hao took out two bottles of Gathering Spirit Pills and said, "My two bottles of Gathering Spirit Pills are worth sixty spiritual stones, which is more than enough to exchange for your snow lotus that is less than thirty years old!"

The woman shook her head: "White snow lotus can be exchanged for two bottles of pills, but you just said that you will increase the price according to the rarity of the spiritual medicine!"

"Is this snow lotus rare?"

"Of course it is rare if you don't have it!"

"Emmm, you are beautiful, you have the final say," Wang Hao complained in his heart, and took out half a bottle of Gathering Spirit Pills to complete the transaction with the girl in the yellow skirt!

It was afternoon, and Wang Hao looked at the gradually darkening sky and closed the stall and left.

This afternoon, he collected several unlit seeds from the farm, and the most important thing was the snow lotus, an important auxiliary drug of the foundation-building pill, which was a huge harvest!

There were still four bottles of Juling Dan left, and with the one he sold to Wang Yanfeng, he got a total of 500 Lingshi.

With this amount of money, he dared to buy some good things at the auction!

Five days passed in a flash, and Wang Yanfeng sent someone to call Wang Hao as promised, and the two of them went to Qingyun Pavilion where the auction was held.

"Uncle Ba, why did the family only bid for you to participate in the auction?" Wang Hao asked puzzledly.

"Hey, for the foundation-building pill, the family has already spent all its money, where can we buy other things with Lingshi? Uncle Ba came here this time just to sell a few bottles of second-level pills on behalf of me," Wang Yanfeng said helplessly: "It's not just my Wang family, the other three families probably won't have too many people coming, only the Cheng family didn't buy the foundation-building pill this year, I'm afraid they're eyeing other treasures."

He glanced at Wang Hao and asked, "What do you want to buy, kid?"

Wang Hao just came to broaden his horizons. He had a total of several hundred Lingshi on him. It was okay to buy first-level things, but second-level and above were not enough.

So he shook his head: "I don't need anything, but my alchemy furnace is a little damaged. If it is suitable, I hope to buy a high-quality alchemy furnace!"

"A first-grade high-quality alchemy furnace? Then why did you come to the auction? You should be able to find it in the Qingyuan Gate store, but it is not cheap. Don't even think about it if you don't have 200 spirit stones! If you can't buy a suitable one this time, Uncle Ba will accompany you to the Qingyuan Gate store later!"

"A first-grade high-quality one costs 200 spirit stones. Isn't the second-grade one more expensive?"

Wang Yanfeng snorted, "What do you think? The family's second-grade middle-grade alchemy furnace cost nearly a thousand spirit stones to buy it! And the second-grade alchemy furnace is not something you can buy with money. If you don't have connections, you can only try your luck at the auction."

As they talked, they came to the second floor of Qingyuan Pavilion. This auction was not open to everyone. Only casual cultivators in the late stage of Qi training and the five major families could participate. This is why Wang Hao had to rely on Wang Yanfeng!

The entire layout of the auction was nothing special. It was shaped like a bowl, with hundreds of people sitting around it. There were also private rooms on the third floor, but only foundation-building cultivators could go up there. This time, the Wang family only sent Wang Yanfeng, so he just sat down in the hall!

In the center of the lobby, there was a round wooden platform with a strip of table on it.

Before the auction started, Wang Yanfeng was chatting with a familiar cultivator.

Wang Hao closed his eyes to rest. Almost everyone here had a higher cultivation level than him. If he didn't know them, there was nothing to say. There were some family members who knew him, but unfortunately, his reputation and status were not good, so no one wanted to pay attention to him!

Half a quarter of an hour later, a crisp sound of copper bells rang out in the building. The originally noisy venue soon quieted down, and everyone looked towards the round platform.

A slightly fat middle-aged male cultivator appeared on the round platform.

The man was still natural and free and easy under the gaze of hundreds of people. It was obviously not the first time he had experienced such a scene.

"Dear Taoist friends, I am Zheng Tong from Qingyuan Sect. I am honored to host this auction. On behalf of Qingyuan Sect, I welcome all Taoist friends to participate in this auction. The rules of this auction are the same as those of other places. The highest bidder wins. If you don't have enough spiritual stones, you can use treasures as collateral, or you can auction on the spot," Zheng Tong said slowly. His voice was not loud, but it could be clearly heard by everyone.

Wang Hao looked at the stage in confusion and thought to himself, "Is there any magic weapon or formation like a loudspeaker?"

"Let's start quickly, what are you talking about!"

"That's right, everyone is waiting for the foundation-building pill!"

There was a burst of laughter in the crowd.

"Silence," a loud shout came, which made Wang Hao's eardrums hurt. A cultivator from Qingyuan Sect appeared on the stage. The pressure emanating from his body was obviously that of a foundation-building cultivator.

The man stared coldly at the laughing crowd and said coldly, "If you think I'm talking too much, you can leave. If you want to participate in the auction, you should be honest with me!"

The crowd was silent, no one wanted to offend, and the foundation-building cultivator left with satisfaction.

Zheng Tong coughed lightly: "Let's not waste any more time, let's start the auction of the first item."

He took out a storage bag from his arms and took out a three-foot-long first-grade top-grade sword from it.

"First-grade top-grade Liuyun Sword, produced by a Qigong master in Qingyun Sect, the base price is sixty spirit stones, and each increase in price is no less than ten!"

"Sixty!"

"Seventy!"

"I'll offer eighty spirit stones."

The first item was a first-grade top-grade magic weapon, and the atmosphere immediately became lively.

After the price rose several times, it was finally bought by a casual cultivator of the eighth level of Qi training at a price of 120 spirit stones.

Zheng Tong smiled with satisfaction and continued to take out a first-level green bamboo that was two feet long and as thick as a pen holder from his storage bag.

"Second-level low-grade green thunder bamboo is an excellent material for refining talisman pens. Of course, it is also good for refining other magic tools! The starting price is 100 spirit stones, and each increase in price is not less than 10 spirit stones!"

Second-level materials are considered precious in the first level of Qingniufang City. The number of bidders suddenly increased, and it was not until 210 spirit stones that it was bought.

After that, Zheng Tong took out second-level low-grade materials, spiritual medicines, and even spiritual tools in succession, and they were all sold at a high price.

Even if Wang Hao had a farm, he was secretly annoyed when he heard it. Seeing that Wang Hao was in a bad state, Wang Yanfeng thought that it was because there was no alchemy furnace auction, so he comforted him: "First-level magic tools are usually sold in Qingyuan Pavilion. It is not normal to see them at the auction. After the auction, Uncle Ba will accompany you to buy one!"

Wang Hao nodded silently.
