Chapter 461: Chapter 2 Fully Armed! Longyan Old Ancestor_2
“Twenty-eight thousand!”
“Twenty-eight thousand five hundred!”
“…”
Those who are bidding now are mainly from common booths which host grade 8 or 9 families, many of whom have concealed their voices and identities.
Soon, the “Cold Crystal Spear” was cheerfully taken by a grade eight or nine aristocratic family at the final transaction price of thirty-three thousand Qian gold.
Then, the second item for auction was brought up.
“Third Grade Spirit Pill – ‘Big Gathering Spirit Pill’, twenty in total. The starting price is fifty thousand Qian Gold.” the auctioneer announced.
“The Gathering Spirit Pill” is a third-grade spirit pill, categorized into ordinary Gathering Spirit Pill and Big Gathering Spirit Pill, which are extremely beneficial cultivation elixirs for Tianren Realm Cultivators. Especially the Big Gathering Spirit Pill, which usually costs three to four thousand each on regular purchase and has a very strong medicinal effect.
However, as an auxiliary cultivation type elixir, a price of several thousand each is already extremely expensive, and most Tianren Elders cannot afford it.
Of course, it’s not that they can’t afford fifty thousand Qian Gold, but they can’t afford tens of thousands of Qian Gold every year…
A normal Seventh Rank Tianren Elder of a prominent family consumes several thousand Qian Gold worth of Spirit Food to replenish energy every year and takes a Gathering Spirit Pill every two or three months. This is considered a basic consumption, with an annual cost around ten thousand Qian Gold.
However, under such circumstances, the progress of their cultivation base is extremely slow and can only be considered as maintenance. It may not even reach the mid-stage of the Tianren Realm after a hundred years of cultivation, and it is basically cut off from reaching the Purple Abode.
Yet even an expenditure of tens of thousands of Qian Gold a year is a tremendous expense for most Tianren families. A hundred years is equivalent to a million! If you live for more than two hundred years, that’s an expense of over two million Qian Gold.
A normal 7th-rank aristocratic family, even if you add up all their assets, they may not total more than three or four million Qian Gold. Plus, they still need to save up resources for Tianren alternation to prevent the family from falling off the Seventh Rank.
Therefore, the more expensive and less cost-effective Big Gathering Spirit Pill is not necessary for ordinary 7th-rank prominent families. Only some strong Grade Seven prominent families who want to reach a higher level will need it.
“Fifty one thousand!”
Someone from the booth bid, without hiding their identity, from the Wang family of Zhenze Guard.
“Fifty-five thousand.” Wang Shouzhe bid.
“So, it’s Lord Changning Wang.” The person from the Wang family clearly recognized Wang Shouzhe’s identity and said to Wang Shouzhe, “The Big Gathering Spirit Pill is not a rare Heaven and Earth treasure. With some effort, it can be bought in many places. But our family’s Elder Kun Yuan is currently in closed-door cultivation, striving for a breakthrough. I hope Lord Wang will not compete with us. Sixty thousand!”
He directly raised the price by five thousand, which also showed that he didn’t want to offend the Wang family and sincerely wanted it.
The auctioneer elder frowned, but ultimately did not speak.
As long as they weren’t threatening the other party, the Hundred Treasures Pavilion would turn a blind eye to this kind of borderline situation.
Striving for a breakthrough?
Wang Shouzhe, Dantai Family Master, and Tuoba Family Head all looked at each other, all seeing a trace of surprise in each other’s eyes.
The Wang family is already a strong Seventh Rank family, and their first Elder, Wang Kun Yuan, is already a seasoned mid-stage Tianren realm cultivator. If he is now in closed-door cultivation striving for a breakthrough, it is very likely that he is going for the major breakthrough from the sixth to seventh level of the Tainren Realm.
If he succeeds, he might become the first Tianren at the advanced stage among the Southern Six Guards. That’s quite impressive!
“In that case, I will wish Elder Kun Yuan an early promotion to the Advanced Stage of the Tianren Realm on behalf of Shouzhe.” Wang Shouzhe laughed heartily and actually stopped bidding.
It’s not that he fears the Zhenze Wang family, but that starting a quarrel with the Wang family over such a trivial matter is simply not worth it. As the Wang family said, although the Big Gathering Spirit Pill is rare, it can still be obtained with time and effort.
“Thank you, Master Shouzhe, for your accommodation.” The head of the Wang Family also happily laughed, “Master Shouzhe, when you have time, please visit our Zhenze Wang family as a guest. I will certainly do my best to entertain you.”
“Absolutely, I, Shouzhe, have long wanted to go to the Zhenze guard to experience the scenery of the Great Wilderness Dream Marsh.” Wang Shouzhe chatted amiably.
The Great Wilderness Dream Marsh is an extremely dangerous boundless marsh and belongs to beyond the boundary. The Zhenze Guard is located at its corner, hence the name “Zhenze Guard”.
In the midst of their exchange, the twenty Big Gathering Spirit Pills fell into the hands of the Wang family. The final transaction price was slightly lower than the market price, so it was a minor bargain.
After that, several more lots were auctioned off one by one.
Although Wang Shouzhe was somewhat tempted, he planned to spend his money on the essentials, so he did not take the initiative to bid.
Until the “Earth Mother Spirit Liquid” appeared.
“The starting price is one hundred thousand.”
As soon as the auctioneer’s voice fell.
Wang Shouzhe quickly said: “One hundred and ten thousand Qian Gold! Gentlemen from other clans, please give me, Wang family, a face. There are only two things that Wang family will bid for, Earth Mother Spirit Liquid and Purple Thunder Sword.”
As soon as his voice fell, Dantai Yonigi and Tuoba Gaozhan immediately looked at Wang Shouzhe with strange eyes.
So you have your eyes on the Earth Mother Spirit Liquid as well.
What impresses them the most is the ingenuity behind Wang Shouzhe’s thoughts. He was the first to bid and expressed his demand for Earth Mother Spirit Liquid and Purple Thunder Sword.
In this way, even if he competes with others to raise the price later, it’s just a matter of financial capability. It won’t give people the feeling that Wang Shouzhe is deliberately quarreling with them.
At this time, after Wang Shouzhe’s voice fell, the auction venue was silent.
After a few heartbeats, a soft voice came from the booth of the Corridor Sun’s Family: “We, from the Corridor Sun’s Family, are sorry. We also need this treasure. Let’s bid fairly.”
