Chapter 366: Chapter 335 Auction_1
The auction was held in Blood Shadow City. The venue wasn’t too large, capable of accommodating just over a thousand people. However, this was no ordinary low-grade auction. To be admitted, one was either a cultivator of Golden Pill or above or a well-known Foundation Establishment cultivator. Ordinary cultivators couldn’t even touch the entrance.
So while the auction was grand, it seemed somewhat empty inside, with small groups scattered and sitting at various seats.
Xu Mu, a Nascent Soul cultivator of high standing, and having dealings with the Blood Demon Ancestor, was arranged a luxury private room.
“Dragon Tooth Rice, Star Magnet Crystal, Crystal Cold Gold, Sky-Blue Gold Wire, Sinking Iron Essence, Great White Gold Essence, Red Gold Mother, Violet Heavenly Fragrant Grass, Three Red Soul Returning Grass, Color Wing Flower, Blue Water Golden Crystal, Evergreen Stone Milk, Thousands Year Snowy Jade Marrow, Heavenly Green Godwood, Mysterious Ice Soul Pill, Nine Heaven Cold Iron, Yin Spirit Water, Thousand Year Mysterious Jade…”
Rare and valuable items were brought up to the auction stage by the auctioneer. Xu Mu had never seen many of those items before, and he was fortunate enough to win two tier-ten pill recipes, one for the Qi-merging Pill and the other for the Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill.
The Qi-merging Pill was used for supplementing spiritual power, and the Yin Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill was used for healing injuries.
He also purchased some medicinal materials and materials for making puppets.
Now that his cultivation had reached Nascent Soul, he was able to make tier-ten puppets himself.
Although with his current strength, tier-ten puppets were somewhat redundant, they were excellent for protecting his family.
Because the venue was set up with a concealing formation and most people used techniques to hide their aura, Xu Mu didn’t go looking for trouble by using his divine intent to scan the crowd, so he didn’t know if any of the Sea Race had infiltrated the event.
Time unknowingly passed and before long it was time for the final lot.
…
Ming Lingchun had been in a sealed state all this time, unable to move at all, and had his blood continually drawn out by humans. His life force was fading away with the extraction of his blood.
Having advanced to Foundation Establishment and possessing the bloodline of Kun Peng, he was supposed to live for three to five hundred years, but now he was drained to the point of becoming old with white hair, his figure shriveled, and his lifespan nearly over.
He had thought he would die quietly, his corpse used for pill-making. But today, he saw the light of day again.
This was an auction scene, which he had seen in the Sea Race before. The scattered humans on the scene looked at him with fanatic eyes.
“Ten thousand top-grade Spirit Stones!”
“Twelve thousand!”
…
“Twenty thousand!”
…
“Fifty thousand!”
…
“One hundred thousand!”
…
“I didn’t expect myself to be worth so many Spirit Stones!” Ming Lingchun said with a smile on his face.
In the end, a cultivator in a box sealed the deal with a sky-high bid of three hundred thousand.
When he saw the human who bought him, he felt somewhat familiar with him, even though he had never met him before.
…
Inside a private room at the auction, Xu Mu stood with his hands behind his back, looking at a picture of a beautiful woman on the wall. The woman in the painting had eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes like the autumn moon, fair hands, and was a demure beauty.
Not long after, footsteps came. Xu Mu turned his head and saw the Blood Demon Ancestor, with red hair and red eyebrows, coming in with an elder in a red robe with a long beard.
“I have kept you waiting!” said the Blood Demon Ancestor indifferently.
“Blood Demon friend is being kind!” Xu Mu looked at the elder in the red robe and asked, “Who is this gentleman?”
“I am the Fire Demon Ancestor from the Fire Cloud Palace,” said the elder in the red robe, a hint of arrogance on his face.
“So it’s the Fire Demon friend, I’ve heard a lot about you!” Xu Mu greeted him with a smile.
