108: 77 Special Spirit Bird Eggs_5 108: 77 Special Spirit Bird Eggs_5 Shen Long found a seat near the front, sat down, and quietly waited.

One after another, cultivators walked in, including Foundation Establishment Cultivators and Qi Refining Cultivators.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, over two hundred cultivators had gathered in the cave.

Following the ringing of a bell, a portly man in golden robes ascended a circular platform.

The golden-robed elder had a round face and small eyes, his skin fair and clean.

“I am Chen Peng, in charge of presiding over this auction.

The highest bidder will prevail.

If you lack Spirit Stones, you may sell your belongings.

Now, let the bidding begin,” he announced.

After a brief introduction, the golden-robed elder took out five cyan jade boxes, opened them to reveal a blue elixir within each, each elixir displaying six pill patterns on its surface.

“Superior Foundation Establishment Pills!”

Someone recognized the pills.

There were quite a few Foundation Establishment Cultivators present, whose kin and disciples might not all be of the Foundation Establishment Stage, thus acquiring Foundation Establishment Pills could be beneficial for them.

Shen Long nodded slightly, impressed that the organizers started with five Foundation Establishment Pills for the auction, signaling strong capabilities.

“For the Foundation Establishment Pills, we will auction them individually, starting at twenty thousand Spirit Stones, with a minimum increase of two thousand per bid,” Chen Peng stated.

“Twenty-two thousand!”

“Twenty-four thousand!”

“Twenty-six thousand!”

······

The competition was fierce, and Shen Long did not join the bidding.

All six Foundation Establishment Pills were auctioned off at a high price, the lowest going for fifty-five thousand Spirit Stones, the highest for sixty-two thousand.

After auctioning off the Foundation Establishment Pills, Chen Peng brought out three cyan porcelain bottles and said, “Profound Moon Pills, five bottles, capable of detoxification; all are superior-grade elixirs.

We will auction them separately, starting at three hundred Spirit Stones, with increments of no less than thirty.”

“Three hundred!”

“Three hundred thirty!”

“Three hundred sixty!”

······

The prices climbed steadily, soon surpassing five hundred Spirit Stones.

Chen Peng subsequently brought out various items, such as elixirs, Magic Artifacts, Talismans, Spiritual Medicines, and Artifact Refining materials, all fetching a decent price.

Shen Long spent three thousand Spirit Stones to purchase a Five Thunder Talisman, which could be used multiple times until its potency was exhausted.

After a superior defense Magic Artifact was sold, Chen Peng brought out a black cloth bag, channeled a spell into it, and a spurt of black Yin Qi erupted as a Copper Armored Corpse dressed in copper armor emerged, emitting a foul stench of decay.

The marketplace of Zhao Country’s Cultivation Realm offered zombies and Ghost Creatures for sale, a distinctive characteristic of the country.

“A Copper Armored Corpse, equivalent to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator in strength, immensely powerful, and difficult to destroy even with superior Magic Artifacts.

Possessing this corpse is akin to having a fearless guard at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

The starting price is thirty thousand Spirit Stones, with each bid increasing by at least three thousand,” said Chen Peng.

“Thirty thousand!”

“Thirty-three thousand!”

“Thirty-six thousand!”

······

Several Foundation Establishment Cultivators were interested in the Copper Armored Corpse.

Its physical body was notoriously strong, and possessing a Foundation Establishment Corpse Refinement would mean an extra hand for assistance.

Shen Long was not interested and did not bid.

The Copper Armored Corpse ultimately sold for a high price of seventy thousand Spirit Stones to a medium-built, black-robed young man wearing a ghost-faced mask, concealing his true face.

The young man in black approached the jade platform and communicated with Chen Peng through a voice transmission.

“This Taoist friend lacks the Spirit Stones for payment and plans to auction some items.

We only provide the venue and are not responsible for verifying authenticity, so please, fellow cultivators, keep your eyes open,” Chen Peng explained before moving to one side.

With a flick of his sleeve by the man in black, a spray of black light covered the table, upon which a large pile of items appeared, one enormous cyan Spirit Beast Egg in particular catching Shen Long’s attention.

The cyan Spirit Beast Egg was adorned with some naturally formed golden patterns.

“How come it’s this Spirit Bird Egg again, Taoist Friend Li, it’s been five years, and you still haven’t sold it?” a mocking female voice rang out.

From her words, she seemed to be acquainted with the young man in black.

“You needn’t worry about that.

This Spirit Bird Egg is said to have been obtained from the Burial Immortal Tomb, one of the seven dangerous areas in the Qianyang Realm.

Although it has been placed in a place full of Yin for many years and its vitality is weak, it can still be hatched.

The starting price is five thousand Spirit Stones,” the young man in black said.

“Let’s be real!

This Spirit Bird Egg has changed hands several times, and all claim it can be hatched, but no owner has ever managed to do so.

For five hundred Spirit Stones, I might consider it,” she scoffed.

“Exactly, if it could really be hatched, Taoist Friend Li would have done it long ago.

Throwing five thousand Spirit Stones in the water would at least make a splash,” some Foundation Establishment Cultivators chimed in.

From their comments, it was clear they knew the deal with this Spirit Bird Egg.

Apart from the Spirit Bird Egg, there were Spiritual Medicines, ores, Monster Beasts materials, and more.

They were not interested in the Spirit Bird Egg but in the other items.

Shen Long approached the jade platform and examined the Spirit Bird Egg closely.

Laymen watch the show; experts watch the technique.

Shen Long had learned much at the Teaching Pavilion; he carefully examined the egg and confirmed it was a Peng species of Spirit Birds.
