Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 204 The Auction Opens

As the sky gradually darkened, the cool twilight quietly drifted in, making the world here look exceptionally clean.

In front of the small courtyard in the market town, the gorgeous maid narrowed her eyes and looked at Chen Mu through the half-closed courtyard door. She looked lazy, as if she had a lot to say.

Chen Mu frowned when he saw this, and a strange color flashed in the depths of his eyes. He immediately closed the last gap in the courtyard.

"boom!"

A slight sound startled the beautiful maid outside the door. Her lazy look disappeared and she left immediately in embarrassment.

"Is it Wangshan Market's intention... or is the maid trying to get involved with me..."

Chen Mu's eyes became slightly distracted, and he frowned as he began to think.

After a moment, he shook his head, regained his composure, and turned into the courtyard.

……

Three days later, Wangshan Market.

The auction was held in the southeast corner of the market town, a very spacious circular area that could accommodate thousands of monks.

Chen Mu walked slowly on the road, looking at the pedestrians with interest.

Although today is the opening day of the auction, the flow of people in the market is not much different from usual.

The only difference may be the streaks of light of different colors crisscrossing the horizon.

There is a no-fly formation in Wangshan Market, and you can't fly without a foundation.

From this we can see that the spiritual light that occasionally flashes across the sky is no less than the cultivation level of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Chen Mu looked up and saw that in just these two quarters of an hour, at least seven or eight foundation-building cultivators had appeared.

Among them, there were two or three powerful auras that made his magic power surge unconsciously for a moment. He should be a cultivator in the middle or even late stage of foundation building.

"Could it be that all the foundation-building cultivators in this country have come? Otherwise, why would there be so many of them..."

Chen Mu kept walking, lowered his head and shook his head in confusion.

"Roar!"

Just as he was thinking about it, a tiger passed by him, causing a gust of wind.

Several Qi Condensation cultivators were sitting on the tiger's back, all with arrogant looks on their faces.

I guess they are the younger generations of a family going out together.

Chen Mu followed calmly behind, and soon they arrived at their destination.

Hundreds of brown pillars rise from the ground, forming a line at a glance, which is extremely magnificent!
The main hall inside was completely covered by a layer of dark yellow light, making it look more elegant and magnificent.

"This is the famous Wanbao Hall in Wangshan Market..."

Chen Mu nodded with emotion, then without stopping, walked in with the team.

This hall is divided into only two floors and has a very wide area.

On the open space on the first floor, rows of dark yellow cushions were stacked.

In the center of the hall, there is a black and yellow jade platform that is ten meters square. It should be the auction place in the market.

On the second floor of the hall, there are many beautifully decorated private rooms, and those who go up the stairs are all foundation-building monks.

Perhaps it was because Chen Mu arrived a little earlier, so the huge space was now sparsely populated.

Chen Mu's heart moved, and he sat down in a remote corner of the hall.

He planned to just be a spectator at this auction. After all, he hadn't even gotten the spirit stones yet, but he had already thought of how to use them, so he couldn't afford to waste them...

And yesterday, news came from Wangshan Market that all his magic weapons were arranged on the opening day of the auction, so it saved him some effort.

As time passed, more and more monks came in.

It was not until noon that the hall became slightly crowded.

Chen Mu took a quick look and saw that there were no less than two thousand cultivators on the first floor alone.

"Dang Dang Dang..."

After nine consecutive loud bell sounds, the auction at Wangshan Market began.

The monks in the hall slowly and calmly sat down, and the noisy feeling dissipated a lot.

A moment later, a sturdy, well-built Taoist priest leaped down from the second floor and landed gently on the Xuanhuang Jade Platform. He was dressed in a golden robe with blue silk embroidery, but he didn't have the aura of a Taoist master.

"Hello fellow Taoists, I am Yue Zhengye, the host of this auction."

The wealthy old Taoist spoke in a clear voice and bowed towards the people around the jade platform.

"Today is the opening day, and there are a hundred items for auction. I believe you won't be disappointed..."

"Also, the price quoted is based on lower-grade spirit stones, and barter is also acceptable."

Although Yue Zhengye's voice was much softer, it contained a sense of unquestionableness.

"One hundred auction items... I wonder where my many magical instruments will rank among them."

Chen Mu was thoughtful when he heard this, but did not say anything.

"I won't waste any more time talking nonsense. The auction will officially begin."

Yue Zhengye shouted loudly, then turned around and clapped his hands.

The next moment, a beautiful maid came out from the side hall at the back. She was slender and graceful, holding a long, exquisite wooden box in her hand.

"The first item in this auction is a second-level spiritual material, a plant of Huixin Blood Ginseng."

"Second-level spiritual material!" Chen Mu opened his eyes wide, a little surprised: "It's a good start..."

"This ginseng weighs three pounds. This half-foot-sized plant can be used to refine at least two bottles of Deliverance Pills."

"The starting price of the Wisdom Heart Blood Ginseng is 8,000 Spiritual Stones. Each round of bid increase must not be less than 100 Spiritual Stones!"

Yue Zhengye pointed at the half-foot-tall blood-red white ginseng in the box and explained in a light tone.

The Deliverance Pill is a special pill that can help foundation-building cultivators get rid of their inner demons. Normally, not many cultivators can use this pill, but if you come across one, the amount of Huixin Blood Ginseng that is enough to refine two bottles of Deliverance Pills is enough, so you must try your best to get it.

"Eight thousand five hundred spirit stones!"

The sound first came from a room in the northeast corner of the second floor of the hall.

This seemed like a switch, instantly attracting several people to bid.

"Eight thousand six hundred spirit stones."

"Eight thousand seven hundred!"

"Nine thousand spirit stones..."

……

The first item attracted competition from many foundation-building cultivators, which really gave Chen Mu a lot of fun.

"Eleven thousand spirit stones!"

After the price was raised to this amount, no one continued to bid.

After all, under normal circumstances, this Huixin Blood Ginseng is only worth about 10,000 spirit stones.

Besides, the event has just begun, so why would we fight to the death...

Yue Zhengye smiled and nodded upon seeing this, and said to the person who made the highest bid, "Don't worry, my friend. Someone will deliver this treasure to you shortly."

"Next, please bring up the second treasure."

Yue Zhengye clapped his hands again and summoned a silver flying knife.

"The Qianren Knife, a top-grade magical weapon, has been confirmed by Master Mo to be more powerful than ordinary top-grade magical weapons. Fellow Daoists who enjoy flying knives should definitely not miss it."

……

In the corner of the hall, seeing that each item was sold at a good price, Chen Mu became more and more looking forward to his miscellaneous magical instruments.

Not long after, as another treasure came on stage, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Yue Zhengye stretched out his hand and pointed, and a red light suddenly began to move on the jade platform.

Immediately afterwards, a sky full of fiery red shadows appeared with a huge momentum.

"Although the Flame Ruler is a top-grade magical instrument, its exquisiteness and power clearly indicate that it is a rare treasure."

"The starting price is 500 spirit stones, and the bid increase must not be less than 50 per round!"
