Chapter 142: That~ The Treasure Was Fished Away...
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
"1,000 spirit stones!"
"1,200 spirit stones!"
"1,500! My Mo family will be taking this talisman!"
A mont of silence pervaded the auction hall before a flurry of bids rang out! Bids of thousands of spirit stones were thrown out as though they were just common pebbles which could be found by the side of the road! Throughout the vast auction hall, only the influential people from the second and third level booths were bidding on the item.
The luxurious booths on the second and third levels hung high over the heads of the commoners at the bottom level. Without solid capabilities and vast assets, it was impossible to enter those levels!
As expected, the people at the lowest level did not participate in the fierce bidding at all. Rather, they seed to be enjoying the spectacle. Normally, it was impossible to see so many influential clans together, not to ntion witness a fight between them!
Finally, the sword talisman was sold to a large family clan for 3,000 pieces of low grade spirit stones! From hereon, that family clan would have a new trump card! In situations where life and death—even annihilation—loom, they could rely on this sword talisman to save the clan!
All the treasures that ca out in the second part of the auction were extrely rare and precious. Even the influential Heavenly Treasures Pavilion had to spend an entire 10 years to prepare for this auction!
"The next item we will be bringing out is one of our main ten treasures to be auctioned today, a Foundation Establishnt Pill!" Even the purple-robed old man could not hide the slight fluctuation in his voice as he continued, "The owner of this pill had requested that our auction house only accept pills which can help increase Qi during the Qi refinent stages as bids."
Everyone in the audience was staring at the stage with wide eyes and open mouths. What did they just hear? A Foundation Establishnt Pill?! A Peak Qi Refinent stage expert could improve his chances of breaking through to Foundation Establishnt by thirty percent just by eating this pill!
One must not look down on this 're' thirty percent success rate. This was already considered to be extrely high!
"Where did this wastrel co from? He would even take out a pill like this for auction?!"
An old man scolded darkly as he shook his head. Others would hide a pill like this with great care to consu it themselves when they reached the peak of Qi Refinent. But this fellow was really good. He actually directly took it out to auction it off!
"As expected of the Heavenly Treasures Pavilion, who would have thought that they would even have a treasure like this! We have to get this Foundation Establishnt Pill at all costs! With it, perhaps the Old Ancestor could break through to the Foundation Establishnt stage!
A middle-aged man's eyes were glimring as he stood closer to the window of his third level booth. The Heavenly Treasure Pavilion never announced the main ten treasures of the auction. Thus, before the event, no one knew what the main treasures were going to be.
Right now, none of the great powers were able to remain calm with the appearance of a Foundation Establishnt Pill!
A single Foundation Establishnt Pill could an the creation of a Foundation Establishnt expert!
A Foundation Establishnt expert had a lifespan of 200 years, and they could easily sweep aside tens of peak Qi Refinent experts as though they were flies! In essence, gaining a single Foundation Establishnt expert was equal to having a stable Mt Tai supporting their clan, ensuring a crazy developnt speed for at least 200 years!
"You can start bidding now. If the final bid is deed to be too low, the seller can choose to withdraw the item," the old man stepped aside imdiately after speaking, allowing the bidders to fight it out among themselves.
"10 bottles of Essence Qi Pills!" Soone shouted from the second floor booth.
"10 bottles of Xiantian Pills!"
"15 bottles of Qi Refinent Pills!"
"Then I'll offer 1..."
Countless bids of increasing value were thrown out by the large clans, causing the audience to fall into a slight daze.
"It's fine if it's just Essence Qi Pills. That stuff is only useful for cultivators below Qi Refinent stage 6. But Xiantian Pills and Qi Refinent Pills could be used all the way to the peak of Qi Refinent stage! These large clans have really deep pockets!" Soone said.
"Right, 15 bottles of Qi Refinent Pills are worth over 10,000 spirit stones!"
Towards the end, the large clans even began using their clans to pressure the others into giving up on bidding. Masked threats of 'I'm representing so-and-so clan', and 'my son is a disciple of this and that powerful sect' were now attached to the end of every bid.
The basic aning behind all these words was obvious. I am very powerful, my clan is very powerful, and my son will also be very powerful in the future! Everyone else must let have this pill!
"I'll bid 1 spirit stone. I'm taking this Foundation Establishnt Pill!" Just as the large clans were fighting ferociously and flinging their wealth and power in each other's faces, a light voice sounded.
The originally noisy marketplace-like hall fell silent in a mont. The people in the higher booths all walked closer to their windows and looked out.
"Huala!"
A region at the lower level suddenly moved as people hurried to move away from the speaker. A large empty space suddenly appeared to reveal the figure of a man, all dressed in black.
"Who the hell is that? Is he stupid?"
The people in the crowd started to whisper at each other.
"No! You all should have forgotten about an important detail? Spirit stones are separated into different grades as well! Who knows if this guy is offering a high grade spirit stone or a even a top grade spirit stone?"
A middle-aged man said as he asured the black robed man with his eyes.
Right, a dium grade spirit stone was worth 100 low grade spirit stones. A high grade spirit stone was worth 1,000 low grade spirit stones, and a top grade spirit stone was worth 30,000 low grade spirit stones!
But that was only the value one used when dealing with large-scale transactions. If a person wished to exchange for higher grade spirit stones using lower grade spirit stones, it would not be so easy. For instance, one could possibly only obtain a middle grade spirit stone if they used 120 or 130 low grade spirit stones to exchange for it!
Thinking to this point, even the nurous experts on the second and third level booths revealed surprised expressions.
"Esteed custor, do you an you are offering a bid of one piece of top grade spirit stone?" The purple-robed old man asked.
"Haha! This honorable one was saying that I'm bidding a single low grade spirit stone!" The black-robed man stood up with a maniacal laugh as a shocking spirit aura spread through the entire auction hall, covering everyone!
"Foundation Establishnt expert!"
The crowd was visibly shaken as they gasped.
"What is the aning of this, Fellow Daoist?"
The purple-robed old man narrowed his eyes as he looked at the black-robed man who was hovering in mid air.
"This honored one, the Esteed Mo Luo, am buying all ten of your main ten treasures with a single low grade spirit stone today! Go ahead and bring everything out. You should be glad, this is the first ti this honored one is paying when buying sothing!"
The black robes on Esteed Luo Mo fluttered without any wind as he hovered in mid air, his expression one of insufferable arrogance.
"Hmph! Which mountain cave did this retard crawl out from? Did you hurt your brain from too much closed door cultivation?"
Unexpectedly, upon hearing the words from the Mo Luo fellow, the crowd did not feel scared. Instead, they felt a sense of relief and they looked at Mo Luo with a gaze as if they were looking at a dead man.
"I haven't seen such an insolent fellow like you in a long ti. Since your cultivation is not bad, I'll spare your life. You can just co and serve as the guard of my Heavenly Treasure Pavilion for the next 30 years!" The purple-robed old man snorted coldly, and an incomparably thick aura smashed towards Mo Luo!
"Bam!"
"Puu!"
A dull expression fleeted across Mo Luo's face as his aura was directly smashed apart by the incoming aura. A mouthful of blood was spat violently from his mouth as he fell from the sky. Seeing the purple-robed old man who was similarly floating in the air, his eyes widened. "Fake Dan expert!"
The Fake Dan stage was a na for the special boundary realm between Foundation Establishnt and Jindan stage. It was a realm beyond Foundation Establishnt, and was a stage to classify people who had failed in breaking through to Jindan stage.
Normally, even a small group of 3-5 peak Foundation Establishnt experts joining hands would not necessarily be able to beat a Fake Dan cultivator!
The great clans were all chuckling coldly. A re Foundation Establishnt fellow dared to co and rob the Heavenly Treasures Pavilion. Was he stupid, or... stupid?
A hundred years ago, a Jindan expert unleashed his might in the Heavenly Treasures Pavilion auction and snatched away a supre treasure. But by the second day, that Jindan cultivator's head was found hanging outside the main gate of Heavenly Treasures Pavilion!
"Looks like this old man had not acted in a long ti, so all kinds of demons and ghosts are popping out! I would like to see who still dares to co now!"
The purple robed old man radiated an unchallenged might, and his voice resounded clearly across the auction hall. However, the expressions on the crowd's faces were slightly strange. The old man scratched his head subconsciously as he looked back at the crowd blankly.
"That~ the treasure was fished away..."
A weak cough floated up to the stage.
The purple-robed old man turned around stiffly. The dominating words "who still dares to co!" had just left his mouth and his face had already been smacked black and blue!
