"These are truly supre-grade spirit stones!!"
A wave of exclamations and excitent erupted from the audience below.
Spirit stones are classified into lower-grade, middle-grade, upper-grade, and supre-grade. One supre-grade spirit stone is equivalent to one hundred upper-grade spirit stones, one upper-grade spirit stone is equivalent to one hundred middle-grade spirit stones, and so on.
In other words, one supre-grade spirit stone is equivalent to ten thousand middle-grade spirit stones.
Even though this is the calculation, in reality, one supre-grade spirit stone is countless tis more precious than ten thousand middle-grade spirit stones! First, because the Spiritual Qi contained in a supre-grade spirit stone is denser and easier to absorb; second, because of its small size and large energy, making it suitable for setting up high-level formations. All innate-level formations rely on supre-grade spirit stones to be activated.
Third, supre-grade spirit stones are extrely rare!
Xiao Bai killed four elders of the Fire Cloud Sect and the spoils amounted to five hundred thousand middle-grade spirit stones, yet there wasn't a single supre-grade spirit stone, and only ten upper-grade spirit stones were found, showing how rare supre-grade spirit stones are.
"These three supre-grade spirit stones will be auctioned off in batches, starting with the first one! The starting bid is ten thousand middle-grade spirit stones!" Li Wei said with a smile, taking out a supre-grade spirit stone from a box.
"I bid twenty thousand middle-grade spirit stones!"
A voice rang out, instantly doubling the value of the supre-grade spirit stone.
"I bid twenty-two thousand!"
"Twenty-five thousand!"
"I bid thirty thousand!"
…………
Those who could offer over ten thousand middle-grade spirit stones were all Qi Condensing Realm martial artists. As the bidding continued, only a few elders from small sects were left raising the price.
"I bid fifty thousand!"
A voice suddenly rang out, and the scene fell silent.
The voice ca from a top-tier purple-gold private room.
Gu Sha lazily reclined on a leather chair, determined to win. Fifty thousand middle-grade spirit stones had already far exceeded the value of one supre-grade spirit stone, and he assud no one would compete further.
"I bid one hundred thousand!"
Unexpectedly, another voice rang out, coming from another purple-gold private room.
Gu Sha looked in the direction of the voice and saw Liao Qingfeng smirking, looking smugly at him.
"Idiot!" Gu Sha withdrew his gaze and closed his eyes to rest. Although supre-grade spirit stones are precious, they are not indispensable. In his view, offering fifty thousand middle-grade spirit stones was already the limit, and only a fool would offer one hundred thousand.
Liao Qingfeng, who acted without thinking and only sought temporary satisfaction, was not worthy of being his opponent.
"Young Master! One hundred thousand middle-grade spirit stones are not worth it," Xue Wuqing reminded. In terms of quantity, one supre-grade spirit stone is equivalent to ten thousand middle-grade spirit stones, at most hyped up to fifty thousand, which was always the price.
Liao Qingfeng leisurely replied, "Don't worry, our Fire Cloud Sect is not short of spirit stones. To suppress Gu Sha's arrogance, a re one hundred thousand middle-grade spirit stones is nothing."
Xue Wuqing shook his head and said no more.
If you truly want to suppress Gu Sha's arrogance, it would be better to go back and train hard, using strength to overpower him, rather than relying on the wealth given by your father to compete in extravagance.
In doing so, not only would you waste one hundred thousand middle-grade spirit stones, but others would not think you are impressive; instead, they would curse you as a fool.
But Liao Qingfeng did not see it that way. Seeing Gu Sha lying there silently, with his eyes closed, he thought he had angered him and felt even more pleased with himself.
The subsequent events were the sa as before. The remaining two supre-grade spirit stones were also auctioned off by Liao Qingfeng at a high price of one hundred thousand middle-grade spirit stones each, totaling three hundred thousand.
"Congratulations, Young Master Liao, all three supre-grade spirit stones are yours!"
Li Wei was overjoyed in his heart; the higher the auctioned price, the greater the share Qianlong Bank received.
Su Ya brought up the box containing the supre-grade spirit stones. Liao Qingfeng took the box, not even glancing at it, and stored it in his storage ring.
"Next is the second item..."
Li Wei took out a demon core of not low grade.
The subsequent auctions were all ordinary treasures, with the lowest valued at only a few thousand lower-grade spirit stones, and the highest reaching over ten thousand middle-grade spirit stones. The most expensive was a supre-grade Yellow-level technique, auctioned for twenty thousand middle-grade spirit stones, bought by a lone Qi Condensing Realm martial artist.
In the anti, neither Liao Qingfeng nor Gu Sha made any bids, knowing that the main event was yet to co.
"The next auction item is also a technique, called 'Xuan Tian Gang Qi'. It is divided into five levels. When mastered, the body becos as hard as steel, impervious to blades and spears. When perfected, the protective True Qi is unbreakable by anyone of the sa level. Its grade is—"
Li Wei paused deliberately, and under the fervent gazes of the crowd, continued:
"Profound-level, lower-grade!"
With these words, the entire venue erupted. A Profound-level technique! This is a top-level technique only found in one-star major sects!
Although the claim that the protective True Qi is unbreakable by anyone of the sa level is sowhat exaggerated, it is enough to demonstrate the power of this technique.
"Fifty thousand middle-grade spirit stones!"
"I bid sixty thousand!"
"I bid eighty thousand!"
…………
People frantically shouted bids, and the price of the technique soared, breaking through one hundred thousand in the blink of an eye.
For the Fire Cloud Sect and Hidden Poison Sect, although Profound-level techniques are precious, their sects already have other better Profound-level techniques, so they are not absolutely necessary.
But for other small sects, it is different. The highest-level techniques in those sects are only Yellow-level. A Profound-level technique can elevate the sect's strength by a whole level, enough to be regarded as a treasure of the sect.
Therefore, those small sects were desperate, frantically bidding to secure it.
"Boss, even a lower-grade Profound-level technique is worth so much!"
Seeing the crowd so frenzied, Huang Mao was incredulous. The Battle Saint Physique he was cultivating seed to be a supre-grade Profound-level technique, just a step away from an Earth-level technique.
If even a lower-grade Profound-level technique is so sought after, wouldn't the technique he is cultivating be priceless?
Seemingly seeing through Huang Mao's thoughts, Xiao Long said proudly, "Hmph! The 'Battle Saint Physique' I gave you is a simplified version of the supre technique of the Battle Saint Clan, even Earth-level techniques can't compare to its value."
"My heavens!" Huang Mao finally realized how extraordinary the technique he was cultivating was.
The bidding in the venue continued.
"Two hundred thousand!" Gu Sha called out calmly.
With Gu Sha's bid, the scene quieted for about a breath's ti, then was overshadowed by an even higher bid.
If it were other items, people might refrain from competing with Gu Sha out of respect for the Hidden Poison Sect, but a Profound-level technique concerns the future developnt of a sect and cannot be easily given up.
"Three hundred thousand!"
"Three hundred and fifty thousand!"
"I, Lu Jing, bid five hundred thousand!"
A silver-haired elder stood up and cupped his hands to the surroundings, "Our Herb Sect has always lacked a Profound-level technique. I hope everyone can give , Lu, so face, and there will be generous thanks afterward."
"So it's Elder Lu from the Herb Sect!"
"Since it's Elder Lu, I'll withdraw from the competition!"
"I'll withdraw too!"
The Herb Sect is a small alchemy sect. Although it does not have an Innate Expert, the sect master is a second-grade alchemist, and Elder Lu is a first-grade alchemist. Everyone was happy to give him this face.
Finally, 'Xuan Tian Gang Qi' was auctioned off by Elder Lu for five hundred thousand middle-grade spirit stones.
Huang Mao's eyes turned red.
"Five hundred thousand! Five hundred thousand! Boss, why don't you throw a technique out for auction too!"
