Chapter 817 - The Auction Began (2/2)

Then, a few powerful families from other cities also arrived.

The Gu family from Heavenly Fire City, the Xu family from Linhai City, the Dong family from Black Mountain City… Those large families had Connate Ancestral Patriarchs and were as famous in the area like the Mu and the Yun families.

Chen Fan entered and people from the Golden Crow took him to the auction hall. This time, Chen Fan felt like they were a bit indifferent and the old man wasn’t there to meet him.

“Are you regretting it?”

Chen Fan snickered and ignored them.

He sat in a box on the second floor of the auction hall. Those boxes were only for the most n.o.ble customers; even Mu Hongti and Zhang Lingfeng had only been a.s.signed seats in the front row on the first floor. The illusion arrays on the walls of the boxes were covered with special curtains and screens, so people couldn’t see each other.

The auction soon began.

Old Ding, who was wearing an azure outfit, walked onto the stage and said, “Welcome to the auction of the Golden Crow, ladies and gentlemen. This time, not only do we have guests from Zhuyan City, we also have guests from cities nearby and a lady from a large family in the royal city. We are so honored to have you all here.”

The entire hall was in an uproar.

n.o.body had thought that people from the royal city would attend. Compared to the royal city, Zhang Lingfeng was only a small town after all. Even Mu Hongti and Zhang Lingfeng were startled; they started glancing at the boxes on the second floor to see where she sat.

“Now, let’s begin the auction. The first item is a Jiuming Senna Plant that is seven centuries old. It came from an extremely shady place and it’s useful for cultivators that practice Cold Cultivation Arts or Yin Cultivation Arts…”

Old Ding didn’t explain further, starting the auction immediately after.

The Jiuming Senna Plant was an advanced version of the Senna Plant and was a mid-grade Spirit Medicine. It had many wonderful effects on Qi Refinement Cultivators. Once Old Ding finished talking, there was a slight commotion down the stage, but no one started bidding. Mid-grade Spirit Medicines weren’t difficult for them to get.

In the end, a Divine Sea Cultivator bid five hundred Spirit Stones for the Jiuming Senna Plant.

He immediately paid and left excitedly. Apparently, he was afraid that somebody would s.n.a.t.c.h it.

After that, the second and third items were bid quickly for a high price. When a superior-grade Spirit Pill appeared, even the cultivation families of Zhuyan City were thrilled.

“A Red Flame Spirit Pill mainly made with Red Flame Fruits, a superior-grade Spirit Pill. It’s useful for Fire Cultivators or cultivators who practice Fire Divine Powers. It has great effects even on Connate Cultivators. The opening price is one thousand Spirit Stones,” Old Ding said.

There was a red pill surrounded with fire in the jade box in front of him. It caught everyone’s attention in an instant.

“One thousand Spirit Stones.”

“One thousand five hundred Spirit Stones.”

“Two thousand Spirit Stones…”

The price immediately surged and even the cultivation families started bidding. Technically speaking, a superior-grade Spirit Pill wasn’t for Qi Refinement Cultivators, but for Connate Cultivators. Families with a Fire Ancestral Patriarch were especially interested in bidding.

“A Red Flame Spirit Pill.”

Chen Fan was a bit shocked.

He had made it on Earth before, but his pills seemed to be much more powerful than this one. Looking closely, there were many impurities inside. If a mortal relied on it to enter the Divine Sea Level, he might possibly be drowned by the raging power of the medicine and would suffer from great side effects which would pull him away from the Connate Level.

But for the cultivation families, it was a divine medicine.

In the end, the Gu family of Heavenly Fire City got it with seven thousand and four hundred Spirit Stones. The Ancestral Patriarch of that family was known for his Fire Cultivation Arts and he could burn the sky with one hand.

The Young Master of the Gu Family didn’t leave after getting the Red Flame Pill. He seemed to have another target.

In fact, the families and the Chamber of Commerce hadn’t gone all out yet; they were still staring at the items on the stage. After a few more items, Old Ding said seriously, “I know that many guests came for this item. The next item is our second to last one…”

Everyone paid attention.

The cultivation families were also focused on the stage. Their main target was there.

“A bottle of ten superior-grade Spirit Pills, ‘Heavenly Essence Pills’ made by an Alchemy Master. They’re the best of the best and they have much higher effects than normal Spirit Pills. They have no side effects and one can already help a cultivator enter the Divine Sea Level.”

Old Ding revealed the jade plate and there were ten crystal clear pills on it.

Once the pills appeared, the auction venue was filled with a pleasant smell. Everyone felt a few years younger and more energetic after taking a sniff.

“Divine Pills! They’re real Divine Pills!”

Countless people, including Mu Hongti, were astonished. They had never thought the pills would be that powerful.

“Ten Heavenly Essence Pills, opening price thirty thousand Spirit Stones. The bidding may begin.”

Old Ding struck with the hammer.

This was the highlight of the auction.
