Chapter 142: Chapter 141: I Have Many Spirit Stones

"Hehe!"

An elder sneered, "Daoist brother, didn’t you see that the core figures from the Seven Major Sects are all here? Dragon Blood Grass is something you can think about, but don’t take it too seriously..."

"Hehe..."

That person chuckled, "Old man, you should know that the Dragon Abyss Sect is auctioning off ten stalks of Dragon Blood Grass today. After the Seven Major Sects have had their turn, who can stop me from bidding on the Dragon Blood Grass..."

Another elder smiled calmly, "Since the changes in heaven and earth, most of our cultivation levels are in the Qi Refinement Realm. Those who can reach the Foundation Establishment Stage are practically prodigies. This Daoist’s cultivation has even reached the Golden Core Peak. Among those present, except for the Seven Major Sects, indeed, no one can stop you..."

"Haha..."

Someone laughed heartily, "So what if that’s the case? This kind of heaven-defying Spirit Grass, surely its price won’t be low. Does having higher cultivation mean anything? Does he have more Spirit Stones than I do..."

"Hehe."

"This Daoist speaks the truth. Though my cultivation is not high, I have plenty of Spirit Stones. This Dragon Blood Grass is mine for sure..."

The noise at the auction site continued to linger.

"Quiet, quiet. Now, we are about to announce the starting price for Dragon Blood Grass..."

Liu Ping’er kept shouting.

At this moment, everyone held their breath, waiting for Liu Ping’er to announce the final starting price.

On the auction host stand, Liu Ping’er smiled gracefully, "Fellow Daoists, the starting price for the Dragon Blood Grass is five top-grade spiritual stones, with each increase not less than one top-grade spiritual stone. The bidding starts now!"

"What?"

Someone exclaimed, "Five top-grade spiritual stones, with each increase not less than one top-grade spiritual stone? That’s too expensive."

Another person shook his head, "One top-grade spiritual stone can be exchanged for one hundred thousand top-grade spiritual stones. Although Dragon Blood Grass can enhance cultivation, it’s beyond unfortunate for the empty-bellied..."

Someone sighed, "What the Daoist said is true. There’s no shortcut for us. We should just focus on cultivation and absorb spiritual energy from Spirit Stones to enhance our cultivation..."

Someone praised, "Yes, yes. With so many Spirit Stones, I could also raise my cultivation by one major realm..."

However, some had different thoughts, as someone in the crowd said, "Fellow Daoists, think about it. If you want to raise your cultivation by one major realm, even with plenty of Spirit Stones, can you instantly elevate your cultivation? However, Dragon Blood Grass can do just that. The starting price of five top-grade spiritual stones is actually quite cheap..."

"Hehe..."

Someone sneered, "Since it’s so cheap, why don’t you bid?"

"Get lost."

That person angrily said, "If I had top-grade spiritual stones, would I need you to say that..."

"Hehe..."

"Daoist, don’t worry. Since no one is bidding now, the Dragon Blood Grass might end up unsold..."

"Don’t say that. No one is really bidding..."

Someone exclaimed excitedly, "Lower the price. Once it drops, we can start raising our paddles..."

Everyone was discussing but no one was bidding on the Dragon Blood Grass, leaving Liu Ping’er somewhat disappointed. She thought to herself, "Is the starting price for the Dragon Blood Grass too high?"

"Fellow Daoists, if no one bids on the Dragon Blood Grass, we will take a break now and continue with the second round of bidding in half an hour..."

"Hehe..."

High above, Zhang Zongyan, seated on the back of the Double-winged Demon Tiger, rubbed his hands and laughed heartily, "It’s time for my performance..."

"Six top-grade spiritual stones!"

Zhang Zongyan’s voice wasn’t loud, but it was enough to shake the entire venue.

"Damn..."

"Who has so much money? That’s six hundred thousand top-grade spiritual stones..."

"Hehe!"

Someone sneered, "Who else but the big shots of the Seven Major Sects could be so wealthy..."

"I bid seven top-grade spiritual stones!"

"I bid eight top-grade spiritual stones!"

"Weren’t there no bids just now? What’s going on now?" someone wondered aloud.

"Sigh..."

A sigh came from the crowd, "The world of the big shots is beyond our understanding..."

Zhang Zongyan looked very displeased, "Zhang Shouqing, Feng Ruyan, are you doing this on purpose? If I don’t bid, you won’t either."

Feng Ruyan smiled slightly, "Senior brother, why the big temper? Even the Double-winged Demon Tiger didn’t fight with you for it. As for this Dragon Blood Grass, I am determined to get it."

"Hehe!"

Zhang Shouqing laughed, "Junior sister Ruyan, Brother Zongyan, during this auction, both of you have gained benefits, but I got nothing. Can’t you just let me have this one?"

"No way!"

Zhang Zongyan roared.

"I bid ten top-grade spiritual stones!"

Feng Ruyan smiled sweetly, "I bid fifteen top-grade spiritual stones"

Zhang Shouqing shook his head helplessly, "I bid twenty-five top-grade spiritual stones!"

Feng Ruyan, not to be outdone, said, "I bid fifty top-grade spiritual stones!"

"Good, both of you are impressive."

Zhang Zongyan jumped up in rage, "I bid one hundred top-grade spiritual stones, let’s see who dares to raise the bid."

Zhang Shouqing and Feng Ruyan did not continue bidding because they knew that continuing would benefit neither of them.

After Zhang Zongyan obtained the Dragon Blood Grass, Liu Ping’er quietly reminded him, "Senior, this Dragon Blood Grass is only effective for cultivators below the Divine Separation Stage. Please take it in a timely manner."

"Thank you for the reminder, Elder Liu. I am deeply grateful..."

Afterwards, Zhang Zongyan rode the Double-winged Demon Tiger and left the auction site in high spirits.

Zhang Zongyan knew that in the subsequent auctions, it would be impossible to bid for another Dragon Blood Grass, not to mention the remaining spirit stones he brought were almost depleted...

No one had expected that the Dragon Blood Grass, with a starting price of five top-grade spiritual stones, would end up reaching a price of one hundred top-grade spiritual stones after a round of bidding, causing everyone to sigh.

"It seems the value of Dragon Blood Grass far exceeds one hundred top-grade spiritual stones. Did you see Heavenly Master Zhang’s expression as he left? He looked like he had snagged a real bargain."

"What a pity..."

Someone sighed, "If we could see Heavenly Master Zhang consume the Dragon Blood Grass on the spot and increase his cultivation, I think the value of Dragon Blood Grass would skyrocket even more..."

As everyone was discussing, no one noticed that half an hour had quietly passed.

"Fellow Daoists, quiet down..."

Liu Ping’er’s voice rang in everyone’s ears again.

"Attention, everyone. Now we are going to start the second round of the first session at the Dragon Abyss Sect Auction House..."

The applause below was continuous. The second round of auctions was fiercer than the first. After Liu Ping’er announced the starting price for the Youthful Pill, the crowd’s enthusiasm soared, and the Youthful Pill in the second round ended up selling for fifty low-grade Spirit Stones.

During the subsequent auctions, without exception, every auction item sold for significantly higher prices compared to the first round.

After seven rounds of bidding, the people from the Seven Major Sects left. Unexpectedly, the first person who won the Dragon Blood Grass consumed the entire plant on the spot, causing their cultivation to leap from the Early-stage Foundation Establishment to the Golden Core Stage Peak...

This scene not only thrilled everyone present but also caused those watching the live broadcast on TV to turn off their TVs and, carrying all their belongings, rush towards the Dragon Abyss Sect.

Because of that person’s actions, the last Dragon Blood Grass at this auction was sold at a high price of two hundred top-grade spiritual stones, an outcome even Liu Ping’er hadn’t anticipated.
