Chapter 170: I’m Stubborn, So What?
On the second floor in box suite 26, the invitation jade slip on the desk vibrated. Xu Disheng picked it up and checked the contents. After thinking for a bit, he opened the protective barrier at the main door of the box suite.
An unnad Dao Foundation stage Deacon of the Grand Erudition House ca into the room, carrying an interspatial ring. He was inwardly shocked, seeing how young Xu Disheng was, but he didn’t show it on his face at all. He smiled and said, “Respected guest, I have brought the Psychic Magic Treasure, the Fierce Specter War Chariot.”
When he finished speaking, he ca forward and gently placed the interspatial ring on the desk.
Xu Disheng picked up the interspatial ring and examined it. Then, he nodded and took out a storage pouch, which he handed to the woman in the white dress.
The woman in the white dress stood up and respectfully handed the storage pouch to the Deacon.
“Good. Exactly 80,000 spirit stones,” the Deacon said, checking the storage pouch. The cordial smile on his face deepened. He flicked his sleeves and pulled out a golden jade slip. “This is the VIP jade slip of our Grand Erudition House, reserved for our most valuable custors. Very few people have this jade slip. It has many uses, which you can slowly discover for yourself.”
“Okay.”
The Dao Foundation stage Deacon didn’t stay for long. After taking another good look at Xu Disheng, he left room 65.
The auction was still continuing, but room 65 on the second floor, where Xu Disheng was, had beco the temporary focus of everyone’s attention.
Many people were keeping an eye on his box suite to see if this person who had boldly bid 80,000 spirit stones would bid again on another item..
But much to everyone’s disappointnt, for the three days that followed, no more bids ca from the second floor’s room 65, as if the person inside had already left.
Over the last three days, there had been several auctioned goods that had been sold off for several tens of thousands of spirit stones.
The item that sold for the highest was the Blood Ocean Scepter, which was refined by a Clone Avatar stage powerhouse. It had sold for no less than 110,000 spirit stones, and had gone to the person in room 32 on the second floor.
“Young master, the next item up for auction is the Divine Foundation Laying Pill,” the woman said, interrupting Xu Disheng’s cultivation.
“Bid a high price and secure the item directly,” Xu Disheng said without hesitation after glancing at the catalog in the record jade slip.
The Divine Foundation Laying Pill was similar to the Foundation Laying Pill, in that both of them had great effects for one’s foundation in the profound laws.
However, the effects of the Divine Foundation Laying Pill were greater than the Foundation Laying Pill by several tis, and a single pill was worth over 800 spirit stones.
“One bottle of Divine Foundation Laying Pills. There are a total of 5 perfect quality pills inside. Starting bid of 5,000 spirit stones.”
“5,500 spirit stones!”
“5,700 spirit stones!”
“5,900 spirit stones!”
… …
There were many people on the first floor bidding for the item. But items like pills and dicines had a relatively fixed price. No matter how expensive they were, the selling price wouldn’t surpass the market value by much.
When the price reached 6,700 spirit stones, the voice of the woman in the white dress rang out from room 65 on the second floor. “9,000 spirit stones.”
For a mont, the entire venue went silent as they stared at box suite 65.
“This price…”
“This person is such a big shot.”
“With this kind of price, wouldn’t it be enough to buy two whole bottles of Divine Foundation Laying Pills?”
Everyone began to talk spiritedly amongst themselves. But since this person had the precedent of bidding 80,000 spirit stones, a bid like 9,000 spirit stones didn’t cause that much of an uproar.
Without the slightest disturbance, the five Divine Foundation Laying Pills were sent to room 65 on the second floor.
Xu Disheng put away the pills, paid the spirit stones, then stood up.
“Young master?” the woman couldn’t help asking, her expression looking a bit flustered.
“Hm?” Xu Disheng turned to look directly into the woman’s eyes.
“…”
The woman stamred for a bit, but in the end decided not to say anything. She bowed politely to Xu Disheng.
Xu Disheng pondered for a mont, then took out a storage pouch. He put 500 spirit stones into the bag then said, “Here is your reward.”
He placed the storage pouch on the desk. Then, he activated the invitation jade slip and opened the protective array. Without even looking back, he left the room.
There were actually still a few more items that Xu Disheng wanted from the auction, but because he had spent too much on the Fierce Specter War Chariot, he had no way of contending for those items anymore.
After securing the Divine Foundation Laying Pill for a high price, he was only left with a little over 10,000 spirit stones. Although there were still 2 days left in the Grand Auction, he didn’t have enough spirit stones. It wouldn’t do him any good to stay longer, so he left imdiately.
Splendid Commodity Peak was still as bustling and crowded as before, with a continuous stream of disciples coming and going.
Xu Disheng didn’t stay any longer on Splendid Commodity Peak. He stepped on the Dharma Breaking Sword and flew off in the direction of Refining Heart Mountain.
The Eight Mountains Grand Tournant was gradually approaching. Although Xu Disheng had already made it to the half-step Dao Foundation stage, his cultivation still wasn’t completely solidified. He wanted to go to Cultivation Hall and use this ti to stabilize his cultivation and refine his cultivation thods further.
Xu Disheng was still completely unaware of the changes in authority in the Mingxin Mountain Range and Ghost Dominion Spirit Master’s punishnt. But at this ti, there were quite a few ssage jade slips hovering around his courtyard back at Morning Dew Peak.
The Shangqing Sacred Sect’s Eight Mountain Grand Tournant was a monuntal occasion that occurred once every 50 years. Not only would all of the geniuses of the Eight Mountains be present, but also many of the other sects in the Shan Mountain Territory would co and watch.
It wasn’t just the Ancient Nuwa Sect. The Demon Sound Sect, the Peak Destroying Sword Sect, and other large-scale sects would send people to attend. Thus, the Eight Mountains Grand Tournant that occurred every 50 years could be considered a grand occasion for all of the Shan Mountain Territory.
In Cultivation Hall, there were many popular rooms packed with disciples, so of them looking even more crowded than Splendid Commodity Peak.
From ti to ti, there were disciples who flew out from the rooms, looking unsatisfied as they left Cultivation Hall. They had clearly used up their spirit stones, and weren’t able to stay there any longer.
Coincidentally enough, a disciple just happened to be leaving one of the rooms of ditation Hall, which was exactly the practice room that Xu Disheng wanted to go into. With the free spot now available, Xu Disheng paid 8,000 spirit stones up front, which allowed him to stay there for 8 days.
While the na of ditation Hall was as plain as it was, it was the most expensive practice room in Cultivation Hall. Staying there for a single day cost 800 spirit stones.
Although the practice room wasn’t specialized towards a single type of Dao, practicing any cultivation thod there would yield twice the effects with only half the effort. It could be considered the most optimal choice for refining cultivation thods overall.
Xu Disheng took out the Divine Foundation Laying Pills right away. He took all 5 pills without hesitation and imdiately started trying to comprehend the mysterious, illusive process of constructing a foundation from the profound laws.
A rumbling sound was emitted from his body as the five Divine Foundation Laying Pills dissolved into his body. They felt like five scorching balls of fire, which eventually beca flowing magma as they coursed through his entire body and its 36 ridian points.
As the potent power of the dicine entered his Jianggong sea of qi, Xu Disheng endured the searing pain that felt like it was cutting straight into his spirit.
