Chapter 823: 732 Auction for a Top Grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure (Seeking Monthly Votes)

Many Void Refinement Cultivators had come specifically for the Gold Cordyceps Pills, which was also their purpose for attending this auction.

"One hundred and ten!"

"One hundred and twenty!"

"One hundred and thirty!"

...

The competition was fierce, and the price quickly surpassed two hundred Top Grade Spirit Stones.

Shen Long spent a total of one thousand three hundred and twenty Top Grade Spirit Stones to purchase two Gold Cordyceps Pills; the transaction price for a single pill started at a minimum of six hundred Top Grade Spirit Stones, reaching a maximum of eight hundred and seventy. Ordinary Void Refinement Cultivators simply couldn’t afford to spend so many Top Grade Spirit Stones.

According to the prevailing market exchange rate, one Top Grade Spirit Stone could be exchanged for one hundred high-grade Spirit Stones, albeit in reality, few people would trade their Top Grade Spirit Stones for the lesser ones.

Not long afterward, there was a knock on the door.

Chu Buyu opened the door, and a medium-built young man in green clothing walked in, his aura indicating he was at the Void Refinement Phase.

The clothing of the green-clad young man bore the emblem of a green lotus, the symbol of the Qinglian Commerce Alliance.

The green-clad young man took out two Golden Jade Boxes and handed them to Chu Buyu. After verifying they were correct, Chu Buyu took out nine hundred and fifty Top Grade Spirit Stones and handed them to the young man, who then departed.

Chu Buyu closed the door and said with a smile, "If we were in the Green Lotus Continent, it would be difficult to acquire elixirs that aid in advancing to the Body Integration Realm."

"It’s understandable; after all, the Thunder Continent is the most prosperous place in the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot. We have been here for over four thousand years before we encountered the convening of the Qianqing Legal Assembly,"

Shen Long responded with a smile.

As soon as he reached the Great Perfection of the Void Refinement Phase, he would be able to use the Gold Cordyceps Pills to make a breakthrough towards the Body Integration Realm.

"I hope we can acquire something that weakens the power of the Heavenly Tribulation. This auction is aimed at Body Integration Cultivators, so there must be many great treasures."

Chu Buyu expressed his eagerness.

Wang Dong acquired ten Gold Cordyceps Pills, then took out five bottles and said, "Five bottles of Zilang Pills, effective in enhancing Essence Advancing Spiritual Power. The starting price is one hundred Top Grade Spirit Stones, and each bid must increase by no less than ten stones."

"One hundred and ten!"

"One hundred and twenty!"

"One hundred and thirty!"

...

Wang Dong consecutively presented various seven-tier elixirs, each with different effects, all auctioned for high prices.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu, not currently in need of any, did not speak out.

Wang Dong then took out three talismans, shimmering with golden light, and announced, "Seven-tier Golden Armor Elemental Talismans, with strong defensive effects. The starting price is two hundred Top Grade Spirit Stones, and each bid must increase by no less than twenty stones."

"Two hundred and twenty!"

"Two hundred and forty!"

"Two hundred and sixty!"

...

Shen Long spent four hundred and sixty Top Grade Spirit Stones to acquire one Golden Armor Elemental Talisman.

Wang Dong brought out a variety of seven-tier Talismans, including offensive, supportive, and defensive ones, but Shen Long only bid on one Golden Armor Elemental Talisman.

After a seven-tier Escape Technique Talisman was taken, Wang Dong flipped his right hand, and a red round-shaped object about the size of a palm, the aura of its Spiritual Light ceaselessly flowing, appeared in his hand.

"A Top Grade Sky-Reaching Lihuo Ring of immense power, with a starting bid of one thousand Top Grade Spirit Stones and each bid increasing by no less than one hundred,"

Wang Dong declared.

"One thousand!"

"One thousand and one hundred!"

"One thousand and three hundred!"

...

Inside the private room, Shen Long and Chu Buyu’s gazes were fixed intently on the cerulean mirror.

"Even a Top Grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure is being auctioned; I wonder if any Top Grade Sky-reaching Spiritual Treasures will appear."

Chu Buyu said curiously,

"The Qinglian Commerce Alliance is an inter-realm alliance, so it’s not surprising that they’d bring out a Top Grade Sky-reaching Spiritual Treasure, but they probably don’t settle in Top Grade Spirit Stones, as Mahayana Cultivators aren’t lacking in them. I suspect it’s a trade of items for items."

Shen Long speculated.

The Lihuo Ring was sold for the high price of 2,400 Top Grade Spirit Stones, a sum too steep for most Void Refinement Cultivators to afford.

After the Lihuo Ring was auctioned off, Wang Dong brought out several Top Grade Sky-reaching Spiritual Treasures, each fetching a high price.

"Top Grade Sky-reaching Spiritual Treasure, Golden Chime Rod, a Heavy-Class Treasure; the deeper the Mana, the heavier it becomes, with a starting price of 1,000 Top Grade Spirit Stones, and each bid must be no less than 300."

Wang Dong spoke, holding a golden long rod in his hand, engraved with flame-like patterns on its body.

"One thousand!"

"One thousand three!"

"One thousand six!"

······

"Heavy-Class Treasure!"

Shen Long’s eyes lit up; this Golden Chime Rod fitted his taste perfectly.

He spent 3,800 Top Grade Spirit Stones and won the Golden Chime Rod.

Not long after, a slender woman in a blue dress delivered the Golden Chime Rod, and Chu Buyu paid the Spirit Stones.

"We plan to sell some materials for Top Grade Spirit Stones. Friend, could you take a look at these items and tell us how many Top Grade Spirit Stones they are worth?"

Shen Long took out a red Storage Bracelet and passed it to the woman in the blue dress.

He still had over 2,000 Top Grade Spirit Stones left on him, which wasn’t enough to bid for a Top Grade Sky-reaching Spiritual Treasure, so he took out some seventh-tier materials for sale, sourced from Lin Lian and Master Blood Shedding.

The woman in the blue dress scanned them with her Divine Sense and said, "These items are worth 1,000 Top Grade Spirit Stones, how about it?"

Shen Long nodded, agreeing to the deal.

The woman in the blue dress took out 1,000 Top Grade Spirit Stones and gave them to Chu Buyu, then turned and left.

Shen Long held the Golden Chime Rod in his right hand, feeling it surprisingly light.

"Three thousand Top Grade Spirit Stones should allow us to bid for another Top Grade Sky-reaching Spiritual Treasure, my lady. Just let me know which one you’re interested in."

Shen Long said with a smile.

With a Top Grade Sky-reaching Spiritual Treasure in hand, their strength had increased significantly.

In the time that followed, Wang Dong produced several more Top Grade Sky-reaching Spiritual Treasures. The competition for defense-oriented Top Grade Sky-reaching Spiritual Treasures was fierce, with prices over 4,000 Top Grade Spirit Stones, which they couldn’t afford.

Chu Buyu had her eye on a Mysterious Fire Blade, and Shen Long spent 2,900 Top Grade Spirit Stones to acquire it.

"We have acquired what we needed, and the remaining items, as precious as they are, are of no concern to us anymore; let’s leave the marketplace."

Shen Long stated.

With less than a hundred Top Grade Spirit Stones left on them, whatever treasures the auction might offer were now out of their reach.

The room housed a random Transference Array that could teleport them out of the Qianqing Marketplace, ready for immediate departure, maximizing the bidders’ safety.

"Our gains this time are substantial; staying here any longer is pointless. It’s better to leave early."

Chu Buyu wholeheartedly agreed.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu stepped onto the random Transference Array and injected a spell. The array started shaking violently, and a dazzling Spiritual Light shot up into the sky, engulfing their figures.

After a brief sense of dizziness, Shen Long and Chu Buyu appeared above a vast expanse of green mountains, where the Spiritual Energy was abundant.

"We’re indeed outside the marketplace; we passed by here before."

Chu Buyu said, then summoned the Qianhuo Boat and stepped onto it, with Shen Long following closely behind.

"Let’s find a place to refine our treasures first. We’ll slowly explore the Thunder Continent, hoping to collect even more valuable things."

Shen Long spoke in a deep voice.

Chu Buyu nodded, pinched a spell, and a blinding red light shone from the Qianhuo Boat as it flew high into the sky.

Before long, the Qianhuo Boat vanished into the horizon.
