Chen Nanfeng clenched his teeth and looked towards the person bidding.
That person, showing no fear, cupped his hands and said, “Brother Chen, no offense, my Bai Family also needs this Internal Pill.”
“Hmm!”
On the stage, Bai Yunzi gave a light cough and said, “Taoist Friend Chen, have you forgotten the rules of Qingyu Fadu and this assembly?”
“Not at all!!”
As these words were spoken, Chen Nanfeng suddenly came to his senses, beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead, as he hurriedly said, “It was my lapse in judgment that lost my composure, please do not take offense, honored envoy.”
“Hmph!”
Bai Yunzi snorted coldly, paying him no heed, and called out the bid, “Seven million Spirit Stones for the first time.”
Chen Nanfeng could only grind his teeth and say, “Eight million Spirit Stones!”
“Eight million five hundred thousand Spirit Stones!”
Although it was just the first Internal Pill, the various parties still engaged in a fierce struggle, and in the end, Chen Nanfeng, gritting his teeth, secured it for thirteen million Spirit Stones.
The climax of the conference thus began.
All ten Internal Pills were sold, with a total price nearing two hundred million Spirit Stones.
Bai Yunzi smiled and then called out, “Next, we have the following auction item—thunderbolt creation pill!”
“The thunderbolt, being the pivotal mechanism of heaven and earth, creates and transforms all things. This pill, personally crafted by the Spell King, has the ability to prolong life. Foundation Establishment Cultivators who have never ingested thunder attribute life prolonging substances can, upon taking this pill, extend their lifespan by fifty years below the Golden Core; for Golden Core it’s halved, and for Nascent Soul, it’s halved again, with a maximum of three pills allowed to be consumed.”
“For this auction, there are only ten pills available, with a starting bid of ten million Spirit Stones, and each increment must be no less than five hundred thousand Spirit Stones.”
“Holy shit!!”
In the assembly, amid the crowd, Elder Zhen’s voice once again resonated in Xiao Miao’s mind.
Although it was of no use, Xiao Miao still scratched his earhole and asked, “What now?”
“No, nothing, thunderbolt creation, life prolongation, and even pill refinement into medicine, has that old ghost’s Thunder Series reached such a level?” Elder Zhen underestimated in his voice, then said to Xiao Miao.
“You better learn well, see how others entice, and how they use coercion and bribery to make people work for them. To be a Cultivator, you can’t just have mana; you have to use your brain, or else you’ll be counting money for someone who sold you out.”
“This…”
Xiao Miao voiced doubt, “Elder Zhen, have you also been sold by someone before?”
“Of course… you brat, dare you to trick me into speaking!”
“No, no, of course not.”
“The final item, the Forming Core Spirit Object, Mysterious Yin Spiritual Liquid, starting bid fifty million Spirit Stones.”
“No bids from anyone!”
“Alright, the Mysterious Yin Spiritual Liquid goes unsold. Taoist Friends, you are welcome to come back next time.”
After the life-prolonging elixirs, it was the turn for Core Formation Spiritual Objects.
Spiritual Objects that can form a True Core.
Prices far exceed those of Pseudo Cores and Life Prolonging Elixirs.
Regrettably, no one could afford it.
A price of ten or twenty million Spirit Stones, Foundation Establishment forces could empty their coffers and just manage to offer it, but fifty or sixty million…
Sorry, they simply do not have it.
But no matter, these Core Formation Spiritual Objects are not truly intended for sale.
Working requires motivation, and without it, there’s no efficiency.
So, with these Cultivators, one must wield a big stick in one hand and a carrot in the other, dangling another carrot in front to threaten and tempt them into working.
Material rewards, there must be.
Beyond material rewards, one must fulfill their spiritual needs as well.
There are many types of spiritual needs.
The one chosen by Xu Yang is…
“The auction concludes successfully!”
“Next, comes the Competition of the Chosen!”
“If the Taoist Friends are not in a hurry, you are welcome to stay on Green Jade Mountain for the night and witness or participate personally tomorrow.”
“The competition lasts for three days, and on the final day, the Spell King will personally be present to oversee the decisive battle. The winner will not only receive generous rewards but also gain the guidance of the Spell King and possibly even become a direct disciple of Green Jade Mountain!”
“To make a name for oneself, the time is now!”
“The open path to greatness lies before you!”
“Taoist Friends, what are you waiting for?”
