Mortal: Transmigrated into Han Li, becoming a person with five spiritual roots

"The first item up for auction is actually a Foundation Establishment Pill!"

The cultivators from all sides immediately became invigorated.

"Everyone knows the effects of the Foundation Establishment Pill. It is a key pill for breaking through from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment, and can increase the chance of Foundation Establishment by 30%. Five pills will be auctioned today, with a starting price of 1,000 low-grade spirit stones per pill and a minimum increment of 50 spirit stones."

The Foundation Establishment stage is the backbone of all major sects. Which force doesn't have juniors who haven't broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage? Even though the Chaotic Star Sea is rich in monster resources, Foundation Establishment Pills are still scarce.

"I'll offer 1,100 spirit stones!"

"One thousand and two."

Bidding calls rose and fell, echoing from all corners of the venue.

"One thousand and five!"

A young man's calm voice came from the left-hand private room on the third floor.

The entire auction fell silent for a moment, and no one bid anymore.

The reason is simple: the third floor is reserved for Core Formation cultivators. It's not worth angering a Core Formation cultivator for a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Besides, there are four more!

In the end, the first Foundation Establishment Pill was sold for 1,500 low-grade spirit stones, equivalent to three top-grade magic artifacts.

"Yuan Yao, aren't you going to buy one? I can..."

Han Li looked at Yuan Yao behind him. Her cultivation had reached the peak of Qi Refining. If she had the help of the Foundation Establishment Pill, she might be able to advance to Foundation Establishment in a short period of time.

"Brother Han, Yuan Yao is already prepared for the Foundation Establishment process. You have already provided Yuan Yao with enough help during this time."

Before Han Li could finish speaking, Yuan Yao interrupted him, quietly looking at his face with a flickering gaze.

Seeing Yuan Yao's persistence, Han Li said no more.

With all the Foundation Building Pills successfully auctioned off, the venue quickly became lively.

"Next is the second item, the Burning Sun Sword, a top-tier fire-attribute magic weapon, crafted by Duan Yun, a master craftsman from Kui Xing Island. In battle, it can unleash a Burning Sun Slash, capable of withstanding the full force of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. However, after one use, it requires mana to recharge before it can be used again."

An Rushan held a dark black longsword in both hands, its surface covered with crimson patterns.

As magic power was infused, the crimson patterns shone brightly.

"Master Duan Yun's craftsmanship is beyond question. The starting price is seven hundred spirit stones, and each bid must be at least twenty spirit stones higher."

The Qi Refining cultivators below the stage had their eyes shining. If they could obtain such a top-tier magic weapon, their combat power would increase rapidly.

Even some Foundation Establishment cultivators in the private rooms on the second floor were somewhat tempted.

"Seven hundred spirit stones!"

"You want to buy Master Duan Yun's magical artifacts for seven hundred yuan? I'll offer seven hundred and sixty!"

"Eight hundred!"

While others were enthusiastically bidding up prices, Han Li remained calm and did not participate.

The Fiery Sword is considered a top-tier magical artifact, seemingly even superior to the Golden Cicada Mother-Child Blade.

But compared to the Water Spirit Sword he had just forged, it was nothing.

Furthermore, Han Li's cultivation has already reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, so having one more or one less top-tier magic weapon will not have much impact on him.

......

"The second-to-last item in this auction: Earth Vein Chalcedony!"

"It is a rare earth-attribute spiritual material, extremely valuable to cultivators who practice earth-attribute techniques. It can even be integrated into Core Formation stage magic treasures to greatly enhance their power!"

An Rushan stroked his beard. In front of him, a two-foot-sized crystal that resembled jade but was not jade lay quietly on the auction stage. This object was born deep in the earth's veins. It was a lustrous, dark yellow color, with a surface like gold dust and amber-like fluid flowing inside.

"Starting bid: 3,500 low-grade spirit stones; minimum increment: 100 low-grade spirit stones!"

"Earth vein chalcedony?"

The anticipated fierce competition did not materialize.

Many monks stared at the amber-like crystal with little interest.

Although earth-attribute spiritual materials are much rarer than other types of spiritual materials in the Chaotic Star Sea, they are invaluable for cultivators who practice earth-attribute techniques.

However, the Chaotic Star Sea is mainly a sea area, and apart from those with earth-type celestial spiritual roots, very few cultivators practice earth-attribute techniques, making it somewhat of a waste.

Moreover, this earth vein jade marrow is only two feet in size, which is still a bit lacking if you want to use it directly to refine magic weapons.

To sum it up in one sentence.

This item awaits its destined owner!

After a while.

No one bid in the entire venue. An Rushan's deeply lined face showed some anxiety, and his gesture of stroking his beard was somewhat stiff.

Shortly after, a maid from below the stage handed over a communication talisman.

"The owner of this auction item stated that if someone recognizes its value, the price can be reduced by 500 spirit stones, and this rare earth vein jade marrow can be purchased for only 3,000 spirit stones, or any spiritual item of equivalent value."

As soon as he finished speaking, no one made a bid.

A while later.

"In that case, this item will remain unsold..."

"Three thousand spirit stones!"

Just as An Rushan was about to announce that the auction had failed, a bid came from a private room on the second floor.

It was Han Li.

"This fellow Daoist has bid three thousand spirit stones. Are there any other Daoists willing to bid? Three thousand spirit stones, first time! Three thousand spirit stones, second time! Three thousand spirit stones, third time..."

Seeing someone raise the price, An Lushan's face lit up slightly, as if afraid of backing out. He spoke twice as fast as before.

"Three thousand five hundred spirit stones!"

Just then, from the third-floor left-side VIP box, which had only made one sound during the entire auction, a male voice came through. The voice was gentle and pleasant to listen to.

It was the same private room where the first Foundation Establishment Pill was purchased.

"A one-time price increase of five hundred spirit stones, that's almost the price of a top-tier magic weapon!"

"As expected of a Core Formation cultivator, they're incredibly generous!"

The surrounding monks began to whisper among themselves.

On the second floor, Han Li frowned slightly.

They didn't bid earlier, they didn't bid later, but of all times!

"A Core Formation cultivator!"

Han Li's eyes flashed. He was determined to obtain this piece of earth vein jade marrow, no matter what, in order to refine the Earth Spirit Sword.

If you miss this chance, who knows when you'll get another one!

"Four thousand low-grade spirit stones!"

Han Li continued to raise the price.

"Four thousand five!"

"Five thousand!"

"Five thousand five!"

The gentle voice came again, saying that the current price had reached five thousand five hundred low-grade spirit stones!

"Young friend downstairs, I also really like this piece of jasper. The seller lowered the price, which is why I sold it. But this price is far beyond its original value. If you make another offer, I'll let you have it."

The young man's voice was calm, and he didn't seem to be deliberately targeting Han Li.

"How could you say such nonsense!"

Han Li sneered inwardly.

Why buy now that I've just made the offer? It's like they're deliberately trying to sabotage me!

"Six thousand low-grade spirit stones."

Han Li did not respond to the young man's words, and raised the price again.

Upon hearing the price, the entire auction fell silent instantly.

In just a short while, the price of nephrite has doubled!

Six thousand spirit stones is already an astronomical price!

At the auction stage, An Rushan's eyelids twitched slightly, and his hand unconsciously tightened, pulling out a few strands of white beard hair.

"You're still too green to fight me!"

Inside a private room on the third floor, the young man wore a smile and seemed quite pleased with himself.

He was unaware that Han Li possessed the Little Green Bottle; in his eyes, these spirit stones represented all of Han Li's wealth accumulated over the years.

"Six thousand spirit stones once! Twice! Three times!"

"make a deal!"

Seeing that no one made a bid, An Rushan quickly brought down the gavel.

From almost failing to sell at auction to doubling in price!

An Rushan was beaming; he could earn a lot of spirit stones from this one deal!

"The auction items will be delivered to your private rooms shortly. Please cooperate by settling your spirit stones."

An Rushan glanced at Han Li's private room. Historically, there have been people who only bid but didn't pay, but such people usually didn't have a good ending.

"I'll keep the last item a secret for now."

An Rushan picked up a torn page from the tray brought by a maid.

It was very damaged, and there seemed to be something drawn on it.

"Does anyone recognize what this is?"

Inside the venue, everyone looked at the yellowed, tattered page. It was made of some unknown material and looked extremely worn, as if it could be torn to shreds with the slightest force.

But whether ice spikes or fireballs were thrown at it, it remained completely unharmed.

In a private room on the third floor, the young man, having thought he had outmaneuvered Han Li, glanced at the auction stage with little interest.

His eyes widened instantly, his composure vanished, and he cried out in surprise.

"A fragment of the Void Heaven Map!"
