Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

Chen Yuan's bid attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.

The red-robed old man smiled and said, "The Taoist friend in Box 59 has offered 340 high-grade spirit stones. Are there any other Taoist friends who would like to bid?"

The hall was silent. After a while, the female cultivator in Box 16 spoke again: "I'll offer 350 high-grade spirit stones."

"Three hundred and sixty yuan." Chen Yuan followed immediately.

The female cultivator in Box 16 fell silent, and the red-robed old man said loudly, "Three hundred and sixty high-grade spirit stones, is there any fellow Taoist who can offer a higher price?"

He looked at Box No. 16 on the third floor and waited for a while, but the soft and pleasant voice did not sound again. The old man in the red robe smiled and said, "Since no one has bid, this phoenix-tail hairpin belongs to the Taoist friend in Box No. 59!"

He raised his hand and waved it. The jade hairpin in front of him flew into the hands of the foundation-building cultivator next to him. He then took out an object from the mustard seed ring and said in a loud voice: "The next one is the fifteenth lot of the Jia character, three five-hundred-year-old golden apricots..."

Chen Yuan waited in the box for a while, and the female foundation-building cultivator handed him the phoenix-tail hairpin.

He took out three hundred and sixty high-quality spirit stones, and still had more than five hundred and twenty left in his hand.

After the female foundation-building cultivator left, Chen Yuan used his spiritual sense to explore inside. There was no trace of spiritual sense, and it was clean and could be stored in his dantian immediately.

But he just looked at it carefully, then took out a wooden box from the mustard ring, put the phoenix tail hairpin in it, and put it away.

This phoenix-tail hairpin was not on the list of treasures. It should be the same as the turbid water, a treasure temporarily added to the auction.

At this time, the fourteenth item in the Jia category had already been bought by a Jindan cultivator. The next dozen items were all relatively ordinary treasures. Chen Yuan had no interest in them at all, and there were not many people bidding. The atmosphere in the hall was quite depressing.

It is impossible for all items at an auction to be rare and precious. Most of the items are relatively common.

But every dozen or so lots, there will be a few eye-catching treasures, maintaining the lively atmosphere of the auction.

Until the 63rd lot of the Jia character, the copper hammer magic weapon, the "Underworld Sea Magic Art" and other skills, and several high-quality spiritual materials that Chen Yuan sent to the auction were all sold out. After deducting the commission of the three sects, the high-quality spirit stones in his hand reached more than 1,300 pieces.

The copper hammer magic weapon is relatively common among low-level magic weapons, but a magic weapon is a magic weapon after all, and there is always a shortage of supply. The transaction price is 390 spirit stones, which is much higher than the phoenix tail hairpin.

The transaction prices of the other items were a bit lower, but due to their large quantities, their combined prices were much higher than that of the copper hammer magic weapon.

Chen Yuan also recognized Zhang Wushan's voice. He was in box 67 and bought two treasures one after another. Both were top-grade spiritual materials. It seemed that he was preparing to refine his own magic weapon.

With so many spirit stones in hand, Chen Yuan felt at ease and waited quietly for the appearance of the Suppressing Sky Stone.

Time passed slowly, and more than ten relatively common treasures were auctioned, finally coming to the 79th lot.

The old man in red robe took out a pitch-black stone from the mustard seed ring. The stone was about half a foot in size and seemed to have been cut in half by someone. The top was smooth and the space within a few inches around it was distorted and changing like water waves.

The red-robed old man said loudly: "The 79th lot of the Jia character is the top-grade spiritual material, the Sky-Suppressing Stone. It can be used as an auxiliary material for refining space magic weapons, and it can also suppress space fluctuations within a radius of 100 feet for a few breaths."

"But this item lacks spiritual power, and it is constantly dissipating. After ten years, it will be discarded and useless. The starting price is five hundred high-grade spiritual stones. Each increase in price must not be less than ten high-grade spiritual stones!"

Chen Yuan stood up from the couch and shouted, "Six hundred dollars!"

The hall fell silent. This was the first time since the auction began that someone directly raised the price by one hundred high-quality spirit stones.

But this did not scare off the other Jindan cultivators. A clear voice came from Box 24: "I'll pay 640 yuan!"

The female cultivator in Box 16 was not to be outdone: "Seven hundred yuan"

"Haha, I'll come join in the fun, seven hundred and twenty dollars!"

"I am also quite interested in this Sky-Suppressing Stone, seven hundred and forty pieces!"

After a few bids, the price of Zhenkong Stone soared to more than two hundred high-quality spirit stones.

Top-grade spiritual materials are those that can be used to refine top-level magic weapons. They are full of spirituality and can be used to cultivate supernatural powers. Each one is a treasure. Even if this piece of Sky-Suppressing Stone lacks spirituality, it can be used to refine high-level space magic weapons and is priceless.

And it is precisely because of its lack of spiritual power and the fact that it can only last for ten years that it can bid for top-quality spirit stones. Otherwise, it would definitely be a barter, and they would have no chance of bidding at all.

Chen Yuan was determined to get the Sky-Suppressing Stone and said calmly, "Eight hundred and forty pieces!"

He directly raised the price by one hundred high-quality spirit stones, and the number of people participating in the bidding suddenly decreased a lot.

But the monk in the box No. 24 was not among them. He said loudly: "I'll pay 870 yuan!"

The female cultivator in Box 16 spoke softly but firmly, "Nine hundred dollars!"

Chen Yuan said calmly: "One thousand yuan!"

There was silence in the hall. Everyone was stunned and looked towards Box 59. Even the monks in Boxes 24 and 16 fell silent.

These two people had previously bid repeatedly and each won several treasures. They were very wealthy and powerful.

But each time the price was raised, it would start from one hundred high-quality spirit stones, and they had never done such a thing before.

Chen Yuan's behavior of not treating the spirit stones as spirit stones greatly shocked all the cultivators present, and also made people see his determination to obtain the Zhenkong Stone.

The red-robed old man said, "The Taoist friend in Box 59 has offered a thousand high-grade spirit stones. Are there any other Taoist friends who would like to bid?"

After a while, the cultivator in Box 24 said loudly, "I am Yan Tongchun, a disciple of Haoran Sect. I want to bid for this item as a gift to congratulate Master for breaking through the bottleneck of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. I would like to ask this Taoist friend to give me some face. I will be very grateful. I will pay 1,010 high-quality spirit stones!"

As soon as these words were spoken, whispers were heard on the first and second floors of the hall.

"A disciple of the Haoran Sect? No wonder this Master Yan is so wealthy!"

"A master who is in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul? If I had a master like this, I wouldn't have to worry about not being able to build my foundation!"

“Although the master in Box 59 has no shortage of spirit stones, he will probably have to retreat in front of Master Yan, right?”

The old man in red robe frowned and stared at box 24. He naturally didn't want to see Yan Tongchun using his power to bully others.

But Yan Tongchun was a true disciple of the Haoran Sect, and his master was a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. He could not afford to offend either of these two identities.

He could only ignore it and said loudly: "Daoyou Yan from Box 24 has offered 1,010 high-grade spirit stones. Is there any Daoist who can offer a higher price?"

Chen Yuan looked at the noisy hall in the clear water curtain, chuckled, and said lightly: "One thousand one hundred and ten yuan!"

The Zhenkong Stone is related to the ambush and killing of Kun Feng and the seizure of his true spirit and blood. Let alone being a true disciple of the Haoran Sect, even if there is a Nascent Soul cultivator in front, Chen Yuan will never give in!
The hall fell silent for a moment, but then there was a burst of exclamations.

"This master really doesn't treat the spirit stones as spirit stones. It would be great if he could give me a few pieces!"

"One hundred dollars plus one hundred dollars, how rich is this person?"

"This senior is so stubborn. Isn't this just slapping the face of Master Yan? He is a true disciple of Haoran Sect!"

The Foundation Establishment cultivators on the second floor were better off, but there were a large number of Qi Refining cultivators on the first floor. They were encountering a rare scene at this time, so they put aside their usual cunning and started talking to people they were familiar with.

They were not afraid of being heard by Yan Tongchun. The law does not punish the masses. Most of the cultivators who can participate in the auction have some background and strength. Thousands of cultivators discuss together, even the disciples of Haoran Sect cannot do anything to them. The red-robed old man's brows relaxed, a smile appeared on his face, and he said in a loud voice: "The Taoist friend in box 59 bid 1,110 high-grade spirit stones, are there any Taoist friends who bid?"

Yan Tongchun's clear voice came from Box 24: "Please give me some face. I owe you a favor and will repay you generously in the future. I will give you 1,120 high-quality spirit stones!"

"One thousand two hundred and twenty yuan." As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yuan's indifferent voice came out.

At this moment, the hall fell completely silent, and the low-level monks on the first and second floors even forgot to talk.

One thousand two hundred and twenty high-quality spirit stones. Most Jindan cultivators had never seen so many spirit stones in their lives, but this person mentioned them so casually.

Everyone had no doubt that as long as Yan Tongchun raised the price, this person would immediately add another hundred high-quality spirit stones.

Even the red-robed old man was stunned. After a while, he reacted and said loudly: "The Taoist friend in box 59 bid 1,220 high-grade spirit stones. Is there anyone else who wants to bid?"

His eyes fell on box number 24. Now only Yan Tongchun could make a bid.

After a while, Yan Tongchun finally spoke up: "It seems that this Taoist friend really doesn't want to give me this face?"

His voice was cold.

After hearing this, Chen Yuan relaxed. He leaned back on the couch and said calmly, "In an auction, the one who bids the highest wins. If Fellow Daoist Yan wants this Sky-Suppressing Stone, just keep bidding. If I don't have enough money, I will withdraw."

Although he is cautious and does not want to cause trouble, when it comes to the Tao, he is not afraid of offending anyone and will fight to the end.

Yan Tongchun said in a cold voice: "Fellow Daoist is so generous, I think he should not be an unknown person. May I ask your name?"

Chen Yuan said calmly: "I am just an unknown casual cultivator, not worth mentioning... Fellow Daoist, can you announce the results of the auction?"

His last words were addressed to the red-robed old man, who seemed to have just woken up from a dream and asked in a loud voice, "Are there any other Taoist friends who would like to make an offer?"

He didn't want to offend Yan Tongchun, so he asked another question.

Yan Tongchun said: "It seems that you are determined to embarrass me, fellow Taoist?"

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes and was about to speak, but an angry shout resounded throughout the hall: "Yan Tongchun, you are a true disciple of Haoran Sect, but you used your power to bully others at the auction and ruined the reputation of the sect. How did you cultivate your righteous spirit?"

Chen Yuan was stunned, and then he realized that the voice came from box 67. It was Zhang Wushan speaking up for him!

The monks in the hall were all stunned and looked towards Box No. 67. Who was this person? Knowing that Yan Tongchun was a true disciple of Haoran Sect, how dare he be so disrespectful?
From beginning to end, the box on the third floor was silent, and not a single Jindan cultivator spoke.

Yan Tongchun was probably also stunned. Box 24 was quiet for a while before his cold voice came out again: "I was wondering who it was. It turned out to be Senior Brother Zhang. When did Yan need Senior Brother Zhang's guidance in doing things?"

Zhang Wushan said, "How you act is up to Uncle Gu to discipline you, and I have no right to comment. But I cannot ignore the faction's reputation that you have damaged."

"If you want to buy the Sky-Suppressing Stone, just bid for it. Why are you forcing me with your status as a disciple of Haoran Sect?"

Everyone then realized that the cultivator in box number 67 was also a disciple of Haoran Sect. No wonder he dared to speak rudely to Yan Tongchun!
Cultivating immortals is to go against the will of heaven. Every cultivator present has a few dead souls in his hands. There are also a few who have killed disciples of Haoran Sect, but they were all in places where there was no one around.

No one dared to offend the disciples of Haoran Sect in public, especially a true disciple like Yan Tongchun.

But the disciples of Haoran Sect are naturally not afraid of him. Yan Tongchun even calls this person "senior brother". It seems that this person's status in Haoran Sect is not lower than Yan Tongchun, so he dares to act like this.

Yan Tongchun said coldly: "Brother Zhang is right. I am not financially strong enough, so I should admit defeat!"

The red-robed old man then said loudly, "Since no one has made an offer, this Sky-Suppressing Stone will belong to the Taoist friend in Box No. 59!"

He handed the Sky-Suppressing Stone to the Foundation Establishment cultivator beside him, took out another treasure, and said in a loud voice: "The next one is the 80th item of the A-type auction..."

The auction continued, but the eyes of the monks in the hall moved back and forth between the twenty-four, fifty-nine and sixty-seven boxes. There was constant whispering, and the whole hall was shrouded in a low buzzing sound.

In box No. 59, Chen Yuan waited for a while. The female cultivator who had established her foundation walked in with a storage bag and handed it to Chen Yuan with both hands. Her eyes were full of admiration as she looked at Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan took the storage bag, and used his spiritual sense to check inside. The Suppressing Sky Stone was lying quietly in the storage bag.

He heaved a sigh of relief, took out the Suppressing Sky Stone, and put 1,230 high-grade spirit stones into the storage bag, handed it to the female foundation-building cultivator, and said calmly, "You can go down."

"Yes." The female cultivator who was in the foundation-building stage bowed, stepped out and closed the door.

Chen Yuan looked at the Zhenkong Stone in his hand, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he put it into the mustard seed ring.

With this item, our chances of dealing with Kun Feng increased by at least 20%.

Chen Yuan had little interest in the following auction. He had spent a lot of money and had only a few spirit stones left, and he didn't have anything he urgently needed.

After more than a dozen relatively ordinary treasures, the 98th lot, A, was a jar of purple cold spring water, which had the effect of tempering the body.

Chen Yuan was quite envious, but as soon as the red-robed old man finished speaking, this jar of purple cold spring water attracted more than a dozen people to bid, and the price instantly soared by four hundred high-quality spirit stones. He had no choice but to give up.

The strength of the physical body is related to whether one can survive the Yin Fire Tribulation, and it is also of great help against the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation, so body-tempering spiritual objects have always been extremely popular.

This jar of purple cold spring water was finally sold for one thousand and thirty high-quality spirit stones and was bought by Zhang Wushan.

His wealth was extremely rich, no wonder he generously gave away the Heavenly Thunder Talisman.

This jar of Purple Light Cold Spring was the second climax of the auction after the Suppressing Sky Stone. Zhang Wushan and Yan Tongchun took turns bidding, neither giving in. In the end, Zhang Wushan was the winner, which caused a lot of discussion among the monks in the hall.

The two are both disciples of Haoran Sect, but they are at loggerheads with each other, which naturally makes people very curious.

Next, common treasures and rare treasures were mixed together. Magical weapons and spiritual materials attracted everyone's scramble. Bottles of cultivation elixirs made the Jindan cultivators fight for them. There were also many rare treasures in the world of immortal cultivation, which opened the eyes of the cultivators in the hall.

Starting from lot No. 100 of auction series A, more and more precious treasures were exchanged for goods, and the number of unsold items became more and more common.

Before the auction began, Fanyang Market released the treasure list early so that the monks participating in the auction could prepare their bidding items in advance.

However, these auction items are extremely precious, and not everyone is willing to give them up in exchange for treasures.

But even so, the success rate of barter at the auction is around 70%, far exceeding that of ordinary trade fairs.

Chen Yuan saw many treasures and gained a lot of knowledge. He was also attracted by several body-tempering spiritual objects, but he never took action against them.

He only had more than a hundred high-grade spirit stones left on him, and two mid-level magic weapons that he couldn't sell. The Yimu Thunder Crystal was too precious, comparable to the best spiritual materials, and it would be a loss to exchange it for spirit stones.

Chen Yuan could only watch other Jindan cultivators bidding quietly and wait for the auction to end.

As the 153rd lot of the Jia category, a mid-level magic weapon, was bought, the atmosphere in the hall became completely heated.

There are only a dozen treasures left, all of which are extremely precious.

The old man in red robe took out a red bead the size of a walnut from the mustard seed ring and said in a loud voice: "Next is the 154th lot of the Jia character, a red flame bead of ancient wonders. After it is activated, its force is as strong as lightning and can severely injure a cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul. I want to exchange it for three bottles of late stage Jindan elixirs!" (End of this chapter)
