Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

Chapter 124 Treasures Emerge_1

Time slowly passed, and the eight hundred seats in the hall were now filled with cultivators.

Several Market City Supervisors temporarily closed the entrance to the auction, and the noisy auction hall finally became much quieter.

All cultivators were eagerly looking towards the auction stage, waiting for the auction to officially begin.

Suddenly, a cultivator appeared in the passage; it was Chen Chong, who had presided over the last Market City auction.

He walked through the passage, greeting some familiar cultivators, and then ascended to the stage.

Surveying the audience, the scale of this auction, the number of participants, and the treasures were unprecedented in a century. Hosting such an auction assuredly promised substantial rewards. Even Chen Chong, who had hosted many auctions, felt a surge of excitement.

With a smile on his face and a cupped fist salute, Chen Chong waited for the cultivators below to quiet down before he spoke:

"I am Chen Chong, honored to meet all seniors and fellow cultivators here. I am invited by the Market City to preside over this auction. I welcome everybody for attending."

"You all know the rules, the highest bidder wins. If you don't have enough spirit stones, you may use treasures as collateral. Without further ado, as I know many of you can hardly wait, I announce that the auction starts now!"

As Chen Chong finished speaking, all the cultivators below became excited.

Chen Chong still sporting a smile, quickly took out a greenish small shield from his storage bag, displaying it while introducing it to the cultivators present.

"The first auction item, a First Order Medium Grade Defensive Spiritual Tool, the Xuanjia Shield, made primarily from the shell of a Xuanjia Turtle, forged with a great number of precious materials, its defensive power is extremely remarkable. The starting bid is ninety spirit stones, with each increment no less than two spirit stones."

The very first treasure was a Medium Grade defensive spiritual tool; the subsequent finale items were naturally extraordinary. It was clear that this auction had indeed invested a lot of capital.

Looking at the greenish shield, Medium Grade defensive spiritual tools were rare, especially one forged from the shell of a Xuanjia Turtle. The eyes of many cultivators flashed with fervent expressions.

"Ninety-five spirit stones."

A Qi Training Cultivator at the Sixth Level of Qi Refining, wearing a blue robe, excitedly called out the first price, with a look of absolute determination.

Before his words had settled, other cultivators began to raise their bids.

"One hundred and twenty spirit stones."

"One hundred and twenty-five spirit stones."

...

Soon, after over a dozen rounds of intense bidding, the price of the Xuanjia Shield skyrocketed, quickly reaching one hundred and forty spirit stones.

In the end, only four people continued to bid, and the first bidding blue-robed cultivator was among them.

One hundred and forty spirit stones was no small amount. The blue-robed cultivator hesitated; to give up would be reluctant, yet it was costly to continue.

Considering the exceptional defensive power of the Xuanjia Shield, which was indeed a rare find among Medium Grade defensive spiritual tools, possessing this treasure would allow him to retreat unscathed even when facing a Seventh Level Qi Cultivation cultivator.

After pondering for a moment, he decided not to give up and, gritting his teeth, he made a higher bid.

"One hundred and fifty spirit stones.

A few breaths passed, and no one else placed a higher bid.

With the sound of a gong, the first auction item was successfully sold, with the blue-robed cultivator winning it with a high bid.

The blue-robed cultivator, with a smile on his face, presented the spirit stones in front of all the cultivators present, exchanged for the treasure, and then sat down satisfied.

The high price of the first treasure warmed up the atmosphere of the venue, with many cultivators eager and ready to snap up their coveted items.

Chen Chong was very pleased and continued to strike while the iron was hot, taking out the second treasure to be bid on by a group of cultivators.

As the small half of the day passed, nearly a hundred treasures were successfully auctioned off, none failing to sell, with the closing prices often hitting new highs.

During this time, Lin Tianming made three bids, spending hundreds of spirit stones to win some items consigned by other cultivators, including two stalks of spirit grass and a green crystal core.

In the VIP room on the second floor, Lin Tianming fiddled with the crystal core in his hand, contemplating it closely.

He had acquired the crystal core for just over a hundred spirit stones. At the time, including himself, no one recognized the item, nor did anyone else bid.

It was about to go unsold when, under the examination of the Eye of Five Colors, he still detected a faint trace of energy. Out of curiosity and due to the low price, he decided to bid for the item.

After Lin Tianming and the other two took turns examining it, none could discern anything significant, so they placed it in a storage bag to study in detail when they returned.

At this point, the auction was nearing its end, with only the final showcase item left to be auctioned off.

After a brief pause, Chen Chong began the auction for the final showcase items.

This time, the Lin Family had prepared fifteen precious treasures; together with the items provided by the Sun Family and the Luo Family, there were twenty final showcase items in total, which was twice as many as in past auctions. Many of the cultivators in the hall, especially those with higher cultivation, were there primarily for these final showcase items.

"The first showcase item, three Xisui Pills with a starting bid of one hundred spirit stones, and each bid must increase by no less than five spirit stones!"

"The second showcase item, three Pozhang Pills..."

"The third showcase item, three Jade Spirit Fruits..."

...

For a moment, treasures were brought out one after the other.

Elxirs, spirit fruits, and spiritual artifacts conducive to breakthroughs for Qi Refining Cultivators were rapidly auctioned off, with all ten of the showcase items provided by the Lin Family quickly sold.

The number of treasures auctioned in this session was not small, and the overall value was quite high, especially the elixirs used for breakthroughs. Continue reading stories on empire

Items useful for breaking through to the next realm were traditionally the most sought-after, and as such, the atmosphere of the auction was incredibly fervent.

The appearance of so many rare treasures, although the prices were slightly lower than usual, shocked all the cultivators present with the Lin Family's extravagant display.

Some cultivators of limited means, who had not succeeded in the auction, had their eyes opened wide with amazement, feeling their trip was worthwhile just witnessing the auction of so many rare treasures.

At this time, Chen Chong was also excited; based solely on this auction, the commission he could extract was a significant sum.

Taking a deep breath to steady himself, Chen Chong continued to preside over the auction.

Time quickly passed, and an hour later, the last nine showcase items were also successfully auctioned, with each item's price not falling below three hundred spirit stones.

Especially for the last five treasures, even Foundation Establishment Cultivators joined in the bidding. The Second Order elixirs were won by Sun Dingfeng, while the Third Order Spiritual Medicine went to Su He. Other Foundation Establishment Cultivators also reaped their rewards.

At this point, only one final showcase item remained, and all the cultivators were waiting for it.

Not daring to hesitate, Chen Chong quickly pulled a jade slip from his storage bag and held it high.

Seeing the item below, the Qi Training Cultivators' breathing grew rapid, and at this moment, Chen Chong also began to introduce the final treasure.

"A Metal Attribute Yellow Grade Cultivation Technique provided by the Lin Family, with extremely formidable offensive power. Starting bid is seventeen thousand spirit stones, and each bid must increase by no less than one hundred spirit stones."

No sooner had Chen Chong finished speaking than a cultivator started the bidding.

"Eighteen thousand spirit stones!"

That was an increase of a thousand spirit stones with just one bid, showing the determination of the bidder to win.

Unfortunately, it wasn't long before another increased the bid. Back and forth the price went, continuously climbing.

It's worth noting that techniques are not commonly seen in the Luoyun Mountain Range; most are controlled by large families, and many Qi Refining Families do not have all the Five Elements attributes.

Families lacking Metal Attribute techniques, and finding themselves with members of the Metal Attribute, are forced to cultivate other attribute techniques temporarily. Due to the mismatch, the speed of cultivation is greatly compromised. Hence, when an opportunity like this arises, they naturally would not let it pass.

Despite the high price to pay, the need to remedy the family's weaknesses was worth any sacrifice.

Lin Tianming and the others were sitting in the VIP room on the second floor, witnessing the intense bidding below.
