Mortal's Purple Sky Cave Heaven

Chapter 105 Auction, Dust Reduction Pill

It seems that this building is a little different from ordinary palaces. It is divided into three floors, each of which is more than ten feet high and covers an area of ​​several miles. It is like a giant attic. I wonder how many monks it can accommodate to participate in the auction.

At the entrance of the hall, there were several foundation-building monks in white clothes, standing in two rows beside dozens of stone steps, prohibiting ordinary monks from entering the hall.

In front of the main hall, on the stone steps, cultivators were coming and going. Most of them were cultivators in the middle and late stages of foundation building. There were also quite a few Jindan cultivators, but they were all heading towards the interior of the Baoguang Hall. They were obviously cultivators participating in the auction.

Before leaving the cave, Nie Zhaonan used the secret technique of "magic clone" to split out a magic clone, and placed his spiritual consciousness into it, placing it in the Zixiao Cave.

He controlled his own cultivation from the middle stage of Jindan to the early stage of Jindan, so as not to attract too much attention.

The result was pretty much what he expected. The closer he got to the Baoguang Palace, the more auras of Jindan cultivators he sensed. There were even a few faint and extremely obscure auras hidden among the crowd.

Even though Nie Zhaonan hid his cultivation to an inconspicuous level, their group of handsome men and beautiful women still caused quite a commotion.

However, most of the cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage were surprised, and they did not dare to comment out loud. They just cast envious glances at Nie Zhaonan from time to time.

As for the high-level cultivators, they just glanced at Nie Zhaonan and his group and ignored them.

In front of the main hall, a white-clothed attendant in the Foundation Establishment Stage was talking to Nie Zhaonan.

"Senior, please show your identity token." The Xinggong disciple in charge of the reception said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Nie Zhaonan said nothing. He took out the identity token issued when entering Tianxing City that day from his storage bag and handed it to the attendant in white.

The white-robed attendant took the token and looked at it. His expression changed immediately and he said enthusiastically, "It turns out to be Senior Nie from the Treasure Pavilion."

"Jindan cultivators can use the private rooms for free at this auction. I will lead you there now."

After saying this, he turned an inquiring look towards Nie Zhaonan.

To open a store in Tianxing City, one naturally needs to report to the Star Palace. The information of Nie Zhaonan, the owner of the Treasure Pavilion, is naturally recorded in the identity token.

It is no wonder that the contrast between this Star Palace monk before and after is so great.

The business situation of the Treasure Pavilion can be understood from the endless stream of cultivators coming and going. The wealth of the owner of the Treasure Pavilion must not be underestimated. He must be a big customer in this auction and is definitely not someone that a small foundation-building cultivator like him can afford to offend.

"Lead the way." Nie Zhaonan said calmly, without pursuing the issue of the man's attitude.

After a cup of tea, Nie Zhaonan and his group had arrived at a private room on the second floor, and the Xinggong monk who had led the way had also retreated.

Nie Zhaonan sat in the main seat in the private room, looking calmly at the center of the hall, a circular platform about two or three meters high and several meters in size.

Nie Ying and several other girls also sat beside him, looking at the auction scene curiously.

"Sister Ying'er, this is our first time to participate in such a large-scale auction." Chen Qiaoqian said in surprise, her voice clear and pleasant, as she looked at the spacious and magnificent venue.

"Indeed, and there will be Nascent Soul cultivators participating in this auction. I believe they will be in the private room on the third floor of the main hall." Nie Ying nodded and responded.

The entire venue is divided into three floors. The first floor is in the hall, with only rows of seats, which is the area for foundation-building cultivators. The private rooms on the second floor are naturally for Jindan cultivators, and Yuanying cultivators have the highest cultivation level and are arranged on the third floor.

Such a strict hierarchical layout was obviously specially arranged according to the levels of cultivation of the monks participating in the auction. After all, in the world of immortal cultivation, monks respect strength and will not have any dissatisfaction.

"It's a pity that Sister Yuling's elders have something to do and cannot participate in this rare event with us." Xin Ruyin said with some regret. After spending these days together, the girls also like Ling Yuling very much.

"It's okay. Wait a minute, when you come across something suitable, you can auction it off and give it to Sister Yuling. Our husband is not short of spirit stones anyway." Nie Ying said jokingly, and at the same time gave a look to Nie Zhaonan who was leisurely enjoying Yuan Yao's service.

"Of course, the same goes for you sisters. When you see something you like, just take pictures of it." Nie Zhaonan said nonchalantly.

With his wealth, he could buy most of the items in this auction just with the spirit stones he earned from the Treasure Pavilion.

"Thank you, husband."

"My husband loves us the most."

After a burst of gratitude, the girls started chattering about other topics. From time to time, various pleasant voices reached Nie Zhaonan's ears, which was also a unique enjoyment.

At the same time, in the ancient hall on the top floor of the holy mountain.

Ling Yuling's somewhat annoyed voice sounded: "Elder Zhao, just let this young master go to the auction, nothing will go wrong."

“Young master, this is also for your safety. There are many people at the auction, and there may be people with ill intentions among them. If your identity is exposed, the consequences will be disastrous! Young master, you are a precious child, and the future of the Star Palace is tied to you. How can you put yourself in danger?” Elder Zhao, with shining white hair, shook his head and refused in a firm tone.

Elder Zhao was also very concerned about the whereabouts of his young master. During this period, the young master often went to the cave where the owner of the Treasure Pavilion lived, and it was obvious that he had a good relationship with him.

For this purpose, he specially used the information network of the Star Palace to conduct a detailed investigation on Nie Zhaonan. This person and his Taoist partner seemed to have appeared out of thin air in the Chaos Star Sea. Even the Star Palace could not find any information about their whereabouts before they appeared on Kuixing Island.

Fortunately, this person's subsequent whereabouts were very obvious, and he had nothing to do with other forces in the Chaos Star Sea. He also seemed to be quite nice to the young master, so he turned a blind eye and pretended not to see it, allowing the young master to be on good terms with him. But this time it was obviously not going to work.

"I have the protective jade pendant given by my parents. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator can be blocked. There won't be any danger." Ling Yulin tried her best to argue.

"Then please go and talk to the two saints in person. I am not in a position to make this decision." The old man surnamed Zhao remained unmoved and shook his head.

When Ling Yulin heard that they were going to look for her parents, she was immediately discouraged. They were in the critical period of practicing the Yuanci Divine Light, so how could they be disturbed at will?

And even if I went and told them, they probably wouldn't let me participate in the auction. Otherwise, why would they restrict my actions since I was a child?

In fact, Ling Yulin also understood that her parents were thinking about her safety. As the young master of the Star Palace, the Chaos Star Sea was not as peaceful as it seemed on the surface. She didn't know how many eyes, both good and evil, in the Chaos Star Sea were staring at her.

More than two hours later, after three loud bell sounds, Tianxing City’s once-a-hundred-year grand auction began.

In the center of the hall, a Xinggong monk carefully placed a flying boat magic weapon on the display case, and then stood beside the auction table.

A middle-aged man in a green robe stepped forward and introduced himself.

"A rare flying magic weapon, the Yufeng Boat, was carefully refined by the Star Palace's weapon refining master, Master Wu, using materials from high-level water-attributed monsters and other precious materials. It can fly in the air as well as sail on the water. Moreover, the speed of sailing on the water is three times faster, and a lot of mana can be saved. It can be said to be a rare flying magic weapon, and its speed is unmatched in the foundation-building period! The starting price of this item is two thousand spirit stones, and each bid must not be less than two hundred spirit stones." The cultivator in charge of presiding over the auction was a cultivator in the middle stage of the Jindan period. Such a cultivation level was considered not low in the entire auction. His voice was neither hurried nor slow, and his introduction of the Yufeng Boat was realistic, without any unnecessary exaggeration.

Upon hearing that the first item to be auctioned was a rare flying magical instrument, and that among all kinds of magical instruments, except for a few with unique uses, flying magical instruments were the most expensive, the foundation-building monks in the field were also greatly surprised.

However, some people were puzzled and some people made bids immediately.

"Two thousand five hundred spirit stones!" said a loud voice.

"Three thousand spirit stones!" The other person did not give in and also added five hundred spirit stones in one breath.

"Why is it that the most precious flying magic tool is being auctioned directly this time? Aren't these kinds of magic tools usually the last ones used in the foundation-building period?" An unknown cultivator asked his question.

"You still can't figure this out?" someone spoke up, with a hint of sarcasm in his words.

"This fellow Taoist has just entered Tianxing City not long ago, right? He doesn't even know about the Treasure Pavilion. The Treasure Pavilion has all kinds of fine and precious magic tools, as long as you can afford the price. If this auction is the same as the previous ones, and some ordinary magic tools are auctioned, wouldn't it lose its great reputation!" An old man with a smile explained.

Rumors among the monks spread so quickly that after a while, most people in the venue understood why the auctioneer did so.

It turned out that it was because of a store called "Treasure Pavilion". The monks who heard about it for the first time became curious about this store.

It can be predicted that the Treasure Pavilion will welcome a large wave of customers from outside Tianxing City.

"Three thousand spirit stones!"

"Three thousand four hundred spirit stones!"

"Three thousand six hundred spirit stones!"

After several rounds of bidding competition among several wealthy foundation-building cultivators, it was bought by an old man in tattered clothes at a sky-high price of four thousand spirit stones, directly doubling the auction price.

The other items below are also very precious, but they are only for the monks who are building the foundation.

The auctioneers took out the elixirs that could enhance the magical power of the cultivators in the foundation-building period, the top-level magical instruments mixed with the materials for refining magical weapons, and the precious mid-level talismans.
All the foundation-building cultivators present were bidding enthusiastically, hoping to get their desired items. The entire auction scene was extremely hot!

After this went on for most of the day, the appearance of an item finally aroused some interest in Nie Zhaonan.

"Dust-reducing Pill, I believe everyone present here knows the effect of this pill. Yes, it is the holy medicine that assists in forming a golden pill in the Chaos Star Sea. It can greatly increase the probability of forming a golden pill for a false pill cultivator."

"There are currently fifty Dust Reducing Pills, divided into five bottles. The first two bottles will be auctioned one by one, with a starting price of 6,000 Spiritual Stones. The last three bottles will be auctioned separately, with a starting price of 60,000 Spiritual Stones for each bottle!"

The method of auctioning this holy medicine for forming the core is completely different from the previous ones. Two auction methods were adopted, which obviously took into account the interests of the foundation-building cultivators who participated in this auction.

Otherwise, if they were auctioned off bottle by bottle, it would be almost impossible for any Foundation Establishment cultivator to afford the price, and these Dust Reducing Pills would be bought by the high-level cultivators present.

Although the Dust Reduction Pill was no longer effective for their cultivation, who didn't have disciples, relatives, and friends? Even if they didn't have them, taking the Dust Reduction Pill, a precious elixir that helped to form a pill, was a sure win.

"Begin bidding now." The Jindan cultivator who presided over the auction poured a pill into a jade plate and reminded the audience.

"Seven thousand spirit stones!" A cultivator who had reached the late stage of foundation building was obviously determined to get this elixir and directly raised the price by one thousand spirit stones!
It was obviously not that easy to get this Dust Reduction Pill. Another person made an offer without hesitation:
"Seven thousand five hundred spirit stones!"

"Eight thousand spirit stones!"

"Eight thousand five hundred spirit stones!"

"Nine thousand spirit stones!"

The temptation of forming a pill is so great for a cultivator who is building a foundation that they would be willing to do so even if it means emptying their family fortunes!

The prices keep rising and there is no sign of stopping!

"Nine thousand six hundred spirit stones!"

"Ten thousand spirit stones!"

"Eleven thousand spirit stones!"

The auction of the Dust Reducing Pill came to an end only after an inconspicuous blue-robed monk offered a high price of 11,000 spirit stones.

The auction prices of the next dozen or so Dust Reducing Pills were mostly around 11,000 spirit stones.

Nie Zhaonan also realized that, perhaps because of the rich resources of monsters and demons in the Chaos Star Sea, the number and wealth of the foundation-building cultivators here far exceeded that of Tiannan.

"Next, it's time for the auction of a bottle of Dust Reducing Pill. The starting price is 60,000 spirit stones." The green-robed middle-aged man who presided over the auction said this, which meant that the subsequent auctions would have nothing to do with the foundation-building cultivators present. They could only be spectators and broaden their horizons.

As soon as the middle-aged man in green robe finished speaking, an indifferent voice sounded: "One hundred and twenty thousand spirit stones."

His tone was extremely calm, as if he didn't take these few spirit stones seriously at all.

As soon as this offer was made, the entire venue fell silent, and you could hear a pin drop.

After a while, the middle-aged man in green robe spoke up, "Master of the Treasure Pavilion, Fellow Daoist Nie has offered a one-time bid of 120,000 Spiritual Stones. Is there anyone else who wants to bid with him?"

Because this auction was not some shady underground transaction, the monks present naturally did not deliberately conceal their identities and origins. Moreover, this was taking place in Tianxing City, and who would dare to take action here?

For a long while, no one answered.

The middle-aged man in green robe congratulated him and said, "The first bottle of Dust Reducing Pill was won by Fellow Daoist Nie!"

He then handed the jade bottle to a female cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage standing beside him, and asked her to take it to the private room where Nie Zhaonan was.
