One had to admit, Luo Tianhong of Yu Ding Sword Sect had an impressive command on the art of auctioning.
The first auction item instantly grabbed attention and quieted the noisy atmosphere. Just one magical item has drawn everyone’s attention.
Ordinary rogue cultivators had never seen such a scene.
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
With each proceeding bid, many had reached for their storage bags, weighing whether they could ever afford to participate in such high-level bidding in their lifetimes.
The bids luckily remained in the normal range.
Everyone gradually accepted this reality.
After all, those bidders were all wealthy Foundation Establishment cultivators, many of whom had the backing of gangs, and strong family backgrounds.
But, with a resounding “eighty thousand,” all eyes turned to box number eight. The bid jumped directly from fifty thousand Spirit Stones to eighty thousand. This aggressive bidding style seemingly manifested the intent of the box owner to win at all costs.
The crowd was immediately abuzz.
Only those Foundation Establishment cultivators who had been bidding fell silent.
Naturally, the price of a magic item can’t compare to magic tools.
Even the top-grade magic tools rarely exceed ten thousand in price.
But a lower grade magic item, particularly an offensive lower grade magic item, has exceeded fifty thousand. The surcharge was astronomic.
Eighty thousand could buy a rather fine defense magic tool.
No one spoke up for a while.
On the White Jade Stage, Luo Tianhong broke the silence with a slight smile. “Eighty thousand, once!”
“Any other friends want to make a bid? This item comes from Tian Fan City, the quality is certainly assured.”
“Nobody else?”
“Eighty thousand, twice!”
In box number eight, silence followed Mi Shuhua’s exclamation of “eighty thousand.”
Everyone knew Mi Shuhua was a wealthy Foundation Establishment cultivator.
But who would have thought, he would bid such an astronomical price for the very first auction item.
Even his daughter, Mi Junping, found herself questioning whether her father was too hasty.
But Mi Shuhua paid them no heed. His usually gentle and kind eyes were calm as the Cold Pool Abyss as he intently watched Luo Tianhong on the stage.
He was quite eager to hear the word “sold.”
But frustratingly, Luo Tianhong seemed to prefer to tease the audience.
“Eighty thousand Spirit Stones, the second call. This magic item has no historical issues, and I guarantee no enemies will come knocking on your door once you buy it, as assured by the name of the Yu Ding Sword Sect.” “Furthermore, this item possesses immense power, and is well-suited for Foundation Establishment cultivators.”
As he spoke, he imbued some Spirit Power into it.
The flying wheel in his hand started rotating, emitting a strong, purple-gold mystic glow.
Dozens of flying wheels almost identical to the original flew out.
Hundreds of spinning wheels grouped together like a sea.
Its sharp aura almost seemed capable of splitting the void itself, truly mesmerizing to behold.
The silent Foundation Establishment cultivators seemed to stir once again. “I’ve been a Foundation Establishment cultivator for 80 years and never had a magic item. Maybe it’s finally time. But eighty thousand Spirit Stones…” “I already have an offensive magic item, and what I lack is a defense type. This item is good, but not what I need. Stay calm, stay calm!”
“Don’t rush. Even though I lack magic items, there are several more to be auctioned today. Let’s wait and see!”
“The guy in box eight must be Old Mi. He has the Broken Mountain Gang collecting resources for him. His wealth far surpasses mine. I simply can’t compete with him for this item.”
In the end, still no one placed a bid.
Even for the addition of one more Spirit Stone, nobody said a word.
Luo Tianhong reluctantly smiled, and put away the flying wheels that had flown out.
“Eighty thousand, thrice!”
“Sold!”
“Congratulations to the friend in box number eight. This lower-grade magic item is now yours. We hope it will serve you well on your path of cultivation.” The atmosphere at the auction grew heated again with these concluding words. Meanwhile, in box number eight, the previously annoyed Mi Shuhua due to Luo Tianhong’s lingering tactics, finally broke into a smile.
His old face blossomed like a blooming chrysanthemum, radiant with joy!
On the White Jade Stage, Luo Tianhong handed the Sky Moon Purple Gold Wheel to a maid, then brought out a new auction item.
The second auction item, although not as extravagant as a magic tool, attracted numerous Qi Refinement cultivators due to its unique features.
The atmosphere slowly began to liven up.
Inside the box, as Mi Shuhua took the purple gold flying wheel from the maid, he was barely able to control his excitement.
Having spent nearly two hundred years in The Great River District, he has reached the Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivation, but he had never had a convenient magic tool. Despite being a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he lacked the power that goes with the title.
Wang Haichao of Great Lake Gang was just a newbie, yet he dared to challenge him. Wasn’t it all because he didn’t have a magic tool?
Now, he was a true Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he had a magic tool in his possession, unafraid of even the late stage Foundation Establishment cultivators!
From now on, who wouldn’t give him some extra respect when they see him? Seeing his excitement, Mi Junping also felt happy for her father.
From then on, the Mi Family was also a Foundation Establishment Family with a magic tool as their heirloom!
Being knowledgeable, Sikong Shoujia couldn’t help but ask, “Gang Leader, generally the lower grade offensive magic tools cost only fifty to sixty thousand Spirit Stones. Isn’t the price of this item excessively high?” “Excessive?”
“Haha, they just can’t recognize a real treasure.”
Laughing heartily, Mi Shuhua put the magic tool in his storage bag.
He would slowly nourish it with his inherent Spirit Power and Spirit Consciousness after returning!
Having said that, he didn’t bother explaining any further..
