Okay," Lu Xia Tian nodded. He would deal with the current situation first and then worry about the rest. He didn't expect the other party to keep their promise anyway, and as for what happened later,...Upon entering the small courtyard, Lu Xiaocen only then discovered that this place was a hidden paradise. Several ground-level houses were unremarkable at first glance. 。But from these houses one could enter a vast underground trading place. 。Gradually, nearly a thousand cultivators arrived. 。The hall was bustling, and there were still some small rooms separated by spiritwood around the venue. 。Before he came, that accountant had not mentioned it to the monks, it seems they were all booked early by other monks. 。
A cultivator costs five spirit stones just to enter, plus the private rooms. With almost a thousand cultivators present, they'll earn over five thousand spirit stones in a day. This speed of making spirit stones is simply like robbing!
Occasionally, a few cultivators' eyes showed greed, but after the auctioneer and two Foundation Establishment cultivators successively ascended to the main auction platform, the many cultivators present fell silent. 。As soon as they made their move, two cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage appeared. Even if someone had the intention, they wouldn't have the guts. 。“Thank you all for attending this auction. My name is Fu Zengquan, and I will be the auctioneer for today.” 。It is possible that many fellow cultivators are complaining about the high entrance fee of five spirit stones for this event. However, I believe that the rare treasures that will appear later will make fellow cultivators feel that it was worthwhile coming. 。"The portly Fu Zengquan chuckled and picked up the small copper hammer in his hand, tapping it lightly on a small gong. "This association will provide ten spiritual objects for this auction. Now, let's start with the first item." 。Fourth-order Defensive Talisman, Five Elements Spirit Armor Talisman! Normally can maintain for one incense stick's time, or withstand a full strike from a magic weapon. Starting bid: 2,000 lower grade spirit stones. Each increase must be at least 100 lower grade spirit stones. 。"What A fourth-rank defensive talisman!" The cultivators present suddenly erupted in a flurry of discussion. 。
Lu Xiaotian was also startled, a fourth-rank defensive spirit talisman. It seemed that many of the items at this auction were specially prepared for cultivators in the Blood Forbidden Land.
Foundation Establishment cultivators cannot enter the Blood-colored Forbidden Zone because their battles could potentially cause the zone to collapse. 。A fourth-order attack talisman is equivalent to a strike from a Qi Refinement cultivator of the same level, and it is not allowed to be brought in. However, a fourth-order defensive talisman does not possess any attacking capabilities. 。But its powerful defensive capabilities, able to withstand three attacks from magic weapons, are akin to adding an extra life for cultivators who enter it at crucial moments. 。After all, even the most powerful Qi Refinement Stage cultivator will have no chance of survival if attacked by a magic weapon. 。However, its price is also a bit outrageous, below two thousand low-grade spirit stones. 。It can only last for the time of one incense stick, even a Qi Foundation cultivator would feel a sharp pain and wouldn't be willing to use it. 。After all, it's just a one-time consumable. 。The price isn't much different from a magic artifact. 。While Foundation Establishment cultivators are much wealthier than Qi Refining cultivators, the pills they use during the Foundation Establishment period and the spirit stones spent on cultivation are astronomical figures. 。"Being able to exchange spirit stones for a chance to save one's life is pretty good. I'll take this talisman, 2,100 spirit stones!" Even if it was expensive, some people were willing to spend their spirit stones for their own lives, or for the lives of their children. 。A pale young man opened the bidding. 。"This talisman, I also have my eye on it" 。2,200 spirit stones 。A middle-aged man hugged a beautiful female cultivator languidly and opened his mouth. 。"I'm afraid your wishes may not be granted." 。2,300 spirit stones 。 。"Maybe not necessarily, there are people besides you who have spirit stones." 。"Two thousand five hundred spirit stones!" the middle-aged man said with a laugh. 。“It seems today's bidding was quite exciting, 2,500 spirit stones once! 2,500 spirit stones twice, are there any more bids If not, then it goes to Daoist number 53.” 。"Fu Zengquan said excitedly," 。"Two thousand six hundred spirit stones!" The fair-faced young man hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth. 。"Alright, 2,600 spirit stones, is there a higher bid" "Although I have a piece of ice silkworm armor which is quite effective against spirit weapon attacks, it still can't withstand the power of artifacts..." 。Within the barrier, there are many spirit stones. But even with countless spirit stones, one needs a life to use them. As long as they can survive successfully in the blood-colored forbidden land and successfully build their foundation, it is worth paying some price. 。"Three thousand spirit stones!" Lu Xia Tian pondered for a moment before directly stating the price. He had his reasons for doing so, as prolonged haggling might lead to an even higher final price. 。It's better to just raise the price a bit and show your determination. 。"A true master never reveals themselves. This fellow daoist actually called out 3,000 lower grade spirit stones in one go!" 。“Fu Zengquan said with exaggerated expression, ‘Is there anything higher If not, this rare one, the only fourth-rank spirit talisman in this auction, will be taken away by this fellow daoist.’” 。“Three thousand one hundred spirit stones!” The handsome young man glared fiercely at Lu Xia Tian. 。“Three thousand five hundred spirit stones!” Lu Xiaoteng raised the price without hesitation. 。The handsome young man's eyes flashed with killing intent, just about to raise the price again, when he was pulled back by another cultivator beside him. The handsome young man hesitated for a long time before finally unwillingly sitting back down. 。"Well, today's bidding was truly exciting. " 。"Three thousand five hundred spirit stones once!" Fu Zengquan was almost jumping out of his seat with excitement. If all the cultivators fought like this today, the auction would surely be making a killing! 。“Three thousand five hundred spirit stones, three times! Deal!” Fu Zengquan hammered the gavel. 。“Such a spendthrift, spending three thousand five hundred spirit stones on a fourth-order defensive talisman” 。"At the auction, a cultivator spoke with half mockery and half envy," 。Lu Xia Tian let out a breath, maybe in the eyes of others he was ruined, but being able to get this talisman, it was worth paying some price. 。The second item to appear at the auction was a top-grade defensive artifact, the Blazing Gold Armor. 。The starting price is three hundred spirit stones. 。陸小天的 interests were few and far between. Although his Di Jin armor provided decent defense, its weight also somewhat hampered his movements. The Bing Si Can armor he wore offered comparable defensive capabilities while being lighter and more agile. 。Uninterested, he went straight to the auction backstage and paid with Spirit Stones, carefully putting away the Five Elements Spirit Armor Talisman as if it were a priceless treasure. 。"Friend, please wait a moment" 。"The one who received the spirit stone was the old clerk from the counter at the door, he called out to Lu Xia Tian with a smile." 。"Is something the matter" Lu Xia Tian stopped and frowned. 。“This is a VIP badge for our esteemed guests. If you are interested in the future, you can come to our auction at any time. Our association does not charge any entrance fee.” 。And advance booking of private rooms is available. 。"The clerk said" 。Let's talk about that later. 。Lu XiaTian shook his head and left the backstage directly. 。Thousands of spirit stones have already been spent, so would he still care about the entrance fee of a few spirit stones As for the private rooms or the main hall, there is no significant difference to him. 。Back in the auction hall, the blazing gold armor was snatched up by a man with a face full of scars for a sky-high price of nine hundred spirit stones. 。The price is high, but top-grade spiritual artifacts are inherently valuable, and defensive ones even more so. 。It's no surprise that we stumbled upon the bloody forbidden zone. 。
