Chapter 259 It’s so annoying
The starting bid for a thousand-year-old Solomon's Seal is one thousand mid-grade spirit stones.

From the very beginning, many people were asking for high prices.

"Twenty thousand mid-grade spirit stones."

Wang Lin couldn't help but complain.

"Is this guy crazy, asking for such a high price right from the start?"

"He's not crazy, he just wants to tell everyone that he wants this Solomon's Seal."

But why should I give it to him?

Some of the cultivators below had stopped bidding, but that didn't stop others from continuing to bid.

Just as Baili Su said.

Not everyone should give him face; there are plenty of people who don't appreciate it.

"Fifty thousand mid-grade spirit stones!"

The three people in the private room turned to look at Jiang Wan, who gave them a look that said, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Wang Lin: "Are you crazy?!"
You're asking for 50,000 mid-grade spirit stones right off the bat?
"If you have too many spirit stones, give them to me, and I'll find you a thousand-year-old Solomon's Seal."

Jiang Niannian glanced at him.

"If you could find a thousand-year-old Solomon's Seal, would I need to spend this money here?"

Baili Su also said, "It would be very difficult for you to find thousand-year-old Solomon's Seal outside nowadays. The auction here has thousand-year-old Solomon's Seal, so they must have collected all the thousand-year-old Solomon's Seal they could find, or they may have their own place to cultivate it."

I think this auction was specifically set up for refining the Golden Core elixir.

If a cultivator is too lazy to search for these spiritual herbs, they can simply gather them at the auction.

Baili Cang sneered.

"It's probably going to be difficult to collect them all. If you can't collect them all, then you'll have to go and steal them!"
Just you wait, once we get out, someone will definitely try to steal our thousand-year-old Solomon's Seal.

After all, 50,000 mid-grade spirit stones is already a high price for a thousand-year-old Solomon's Seal. Any more would be inappropriate, as the cost would be too high. So instead of spending so much money to buy it, it's better to just buy it directly.

He paused there, and Jiang Wan continued:
"Free purchase!"

"That's a very apt description, so we need to be careful when we go out later."

Especially since your height is quite noticeable for a child.

Jiang Wan: "Then when I go out, can I transform into an adult's height?"

This was something none of them had expected.

Wang Lin: "This seems to work too!"

Jiang Wan smiled and said, "Of course it will work. If we only look at my height, it's enough to fool them. Anyway, they don't have any divine imprints on their bodies, so they can't possibly catch me."

Baili Su nodded.

"If that's the case, then he'd be in the best position."

They had already discussed how to escape, but then someone else started raising the price.

"I'll offer 70,000 mid-grade spirit stones."

It seems the other person is just like me, not short of money, and only wants to get things.

But there are several levels of "not short of money". My level of "not short of money" means I'm really not short of money. I have a spirit stone mine in my pocket.

"Don't add any more. It's not worth it if you add any more. With this money, you could buy a Golden Core Pill instead of having to refine it yourself."

He doesn't know what the other party is thinking, but that doesn't mean he's going to be taken advantage of.

If you add more than the market price yourself, then you'll really be ripped off.

With that money, she could buy it anywhere else, so why did she have to stay here?

With that thought in mind, Jiang Wan stopped adding anything and let the other party buy the thousand-year-old Solomon's Seal.

Baili Cang spoke indifferently.

"You're right not to add it. At worst, we can just rob him."

Jiang Wan coughed lightly.

"You're overthinking it. I was just looking elsewhere to see if they sell it. You're righteous cultivators, how can you use the word 'robbery' on your lips?"
That's so unfair!

The three of them twitched at the corners of their mouths. Who among them wasn't a righteous cultivator?

"Ahem, righteous cultivators really shouldn't rob people; they shouldn't corrupt children." "You're right, we are righteous cultivators, how can we attack them so easily?"

It's okay, let's go to other places, maybe we can find thousand-year-old Solomon's Seal there too.

This thing is valuable, but it's not too hard to find.

Hearing Baili Su say this, Baili Cang glanced at him and nodded.

“Indeed, let’s let that kid go and find another one ourselves.”

Hearing them say that, Jiang Wan nodded.

"That's it, we want to find it ourselves."

The female cultivator on the auction stage spoke gently yet boldly:
"Next up for auction is the second Polygonatum sibiricum!"

Everyone:...

Why is there still one?
"There's a second one?!"

Jiang Wan: If there were a second one, I would definitely take it without hesitation.

As the auction began, the price of the second Huangjing (Polygonatum odoratum) soared higher and higher, eventually reaching 70,000 mid-grade spirit stones.

The auctioneers also saw this price and were delighted, wishing they could just give them ten or eight pieces to bid on.

But this kind of thing is only precious when it's scarce, and the same person started again.

One wasn't enough, he wanted to take this one too. That's too much. Not only Jiang Wan, but everyone else thought he went too far.

Jiang Wan came here to gather all the materials needed to refine the Golden Core in one go, so she simply didn't let him have them and added more.

"One hundred thousand middle-grade spirit stones!"

The monk continued to follow.

"One hundred and ten thousand!"

Jiang Wan: "110,001."

"One hundred twenty thousand."

Jiang Wan: "120,001."

"One hundred and thirty thousand!"

Jiang Wan: "130,001!"

The crowd couldn't help but whisper among themselves; these two were indeed at odds.

Jiang Wan was adding pills one by one, while others were adding them in tens of thousands.

"Two hundred thousand!"

Two hundred thousand and one!

How infuriating! If I had bid higher for that one, things would probably be like this now.

Since the other party already had one and was still so persistent, Jiang Wan decided to fight him to the end.

"Twenty-one thousand!"

"Two hundred and ten thousand and one!"

"Three hundred thousand!"

Jiang Wan: Forget it!
I'm not going to follow him anymore. Let him pay 400,000 to buy it himself. He might rob me later!
This guy is so infuriating! There were only two available, and he insisted on buying both. It's not like he couldn't have bought more, but why did he have to be the sucker? I'm so angry!

The other person seemed to sense Jiang Wan's anger. Seeing that Jiang Wan was no longer adding anything, they curled their lips and looked over.

They were all wearing black cloaks and face coverings, so you couldn't see them, only their height and eyes.

Upon seeing Jiang Wan's height, the man looked her up and down, a hint of amusement appearing in his eyes.

Jiang Wan regretted not adding it. She clearly had a temporary mine, but her thinking hadn't evolved. Deep down, she was still unwilling to spend two or three times the normal price to buy that thing.

If I were to clash with him, I would be throwing away hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, which wouldn't be worth it.

Perhaps the other party was also gambling, betting that Jiang Wan wouldn't actually take out so many spirit stones at once, so they were fearless.

Jiang Wan stood with a sullen face and crossed her arms.

Next up was the auction of Jin Chaolu. This time, the organizers brought up all ten bottles at once and let the participants bid against each other.
