The final price of this potion was a whopping 170.000 spirit stones, the highest price to date.
Fengyu was astonished, but he knew that for those that really needed this potion, such a sum was affordable.
Thinking of his own situation, to be honest... if it wasn’t for the totem he purchased, he would’ve saved up for it too.
Then again, he didn’t regret purchasing the totem. Only with the totem did he have a sense of security of getting over this Beast Tide!
Didn’t he see that there were so many cultivators present, but only a few had the feeling of a planter, more than two thirds actually seeming to be battle masters?
What did this an?
Obviously it ant that they all rented alongside the planters in their fields, having reached so form of cooperation.
Fengyu’s deal with the twins was simple, but if it was just the two of them, they wouldn’t dare to defend the field.
At that point they would have to consider hiring these cultivators for a high price, which is a huge loss, since it’s a one-ti splurge of money without any long-ti benefit... well, except for surviving.
His thoughts ca and went, he calculated his situation and compared it to others -
Comparison is the thief of joy, but only by doing so can he estimate properly.
He saw that among the many, a few seed affluent yet still had the ans to bid for many of the items in the first stage and even attempted to bid for the first few items of the second stage.
A guess ford in his mind.
The auction of the second stage proceeded smoothly and contained various items, but the total number only ca to 15, 10 less than the first stage. When he asked Co Fei, she told him that this was actually an unusually high number of items, and that most of the ti, the auction only had five to ten items for the second stage.
Soon, with the last item, a protective talisman of the near third stage sold, the auction ended.
With the end of the auction many cultivators stood up, cupping their hands to the auctioneer and leaving neatly, not making a ruckus.
Co Fei also stood up, "Fellow daoists, if you ever wish to visit my restaurant, I am willing to offer you the best food at a 10% discount!" she promised directly without talking around the bush.
"Then I would be happy to accept fellow daoists’ offer and pay a visit one day!" Fengyu nodded amiably and saw her leaving, turning to the twins, asking them for their opinion.
They agreed that it was fine to visit their restaurant if they were free, but there was no need to go there right away.
Fengyu was happy their mindset had been locked onto the field, not being distracted by this.
He looked over to the platform and saw the middle-aged auctioneer change his role for the second ti -
First he was the gathering host, then the auctioneer, and now he opened the social exchange!
"All fellow daoists present are mbers of our neighbourhood, people who farm their fields together with us. I hope you can all exchange a few words even if it’s just idle chatter!" he said, bowing at the second stage and cupping his hands at the first stage.
Everyone cupped or bowed in his direction, accepting it and agreeing to his request.
Just as he took a step back, cultivators one after another rose from the second stage’s terrace and controlled their spiritual power, slowly falling onto the first stage.
They chatted right away while various juniors lined up to greet them!
Fengyu was surprised, and as always, there were cultivators around who wanted to make connections, so one of them stepped forward and asked, "Fellow daoist, is this your first ti attending the gathering?"
"Indeed it is! But, I had just talked with a fellow daoist visiting from the city who said that the exchange was separated in first and second stage. This..."
"Oh, those city folk are just arrogant!" another cultivator ca forward, mumbling before he explained, "The second stage cultivators living in the city always love to separate high and low, even when you’re in the sa tea house, they have different stages catering to different cultivators. What’s the fun in that? Isn’t it better to have a bustling atmosphere like this?
Hehe, we who rent the fields are more like countryside people, we like to talk and chat and treat each other as real neighbours and don’t just use it as a na to form an association!
Co co, at the start of each exchange, we always greet the seniors and if there is a chance, we can even make a deal!" the man talked a lot while mumbling between his words, taking the lead and pulling Fengyu to go greet a senior right away.
Fengyu felt this person was quite good, so he followed after him, wanting to see the senior of this guy who so vehently wanted to pull people into his circle!
As expected, the senior he went to greet was a bit further away from others, with only two juniors who greeted him before leaving.
From afar Fengyu felt a strong aura, instantly understanding that this person was a battle master and not a creation master!
Among all those that rent fields, this guy... stood out.
"Greetings senior Ruan!" the man leading them cupped his hands and bowed slightly right when he saw the senior look at him, gesturing slightly to the three cultivators behind him.
Fengyu and the twins also cupped their hands and bowed slightly, greeting the senior.
"Hello hello juniors, no need to be so formal! You’re all hard-working juniors who entered the field, don’t be so shy!" the senior was extrely kind and waved his hand, his behaviour contrary to his strong aura!
"Ah, senior, your aura, are you a spiritual planter?" Ming asked right away when he ca closer, surprised at the strong earthy scent of the strong cultivator in front of him!
