Wizards in the world of cultivation

Chapter 58 The Big Auction Begins (Please Read On)
"The fact that they were able to evade my divine sense means that their cultivation level is not that of an ordinary Golden Core cultivator. However, since they couldn't avoid Xiao Bei's detection, they probably haven't reached the Nascent Soul realm." Su You continued walking forward, his expression unchanged.

However, he had no recollection of the person in the image in his mind. He had completely accepted the memories of his predecessor, so he was certain that he had not had any contact with them before Su You transmigrated here, and he probably had not had any contact with them after transmigrating here either.

Moreover, he is currently in a disguised state, so no one should recognize him unless they can see through his disguise.

Su You kept thinking about his trajectory over the past few years and the people he had met, but he still had no clue whatsoever.

After thinking for a moment, Su You slowed down and pretended to be attracted by the shops next door.

The man observed for a while before continuing forward.

As he passed by Su You, he immediately sent a telepathic message to Xiao Bei, instructing it to scan the person in front of him.

Soon, a three-dimensional data of the other party appeared in front of Su You.

"A late-stage Golden Core cultivator... could he be one of those who invited us to kill the mirage demon?" Su You wondered.

"Could it be Yu Tian, ​​the lord of Blue Spirit Island?"

Su You recalled that Yu Tian had used a secret technique called "Spiritual Eye" when he killed the mirage demon, which might have been able to reveal his identity.

If it were Yu Tian, ​​the person in the picture would be too different from Yu Tian in terms of temperament. Appearances are easy to change, but a sword cultivator, dedicated to the sword, has a sharp and fierce temperament that is hard to change.

However, no matter who dares to covet him, Su You will definitely not let them get away with it.

He has many trump cards up his sleeve. The Crimson Flame Crow True Form Talisman from last time is still intact and retains half of its power. If used unexpectedly, it would be enough to severely injure a late-stage Golden Core cultivator.

Of course, this matter is not urgent for now. The most important thing is to participate in the auction. After the auction, we can see if there is an opportunity to eliminate this potential enemy.

With the invitation in hand, Su You entered the Void Pavilion without any trouble. Led by a maid, he arrived at a private room on the second floor.

The entire private room was set up with a third-order restriction array, so no one could see what was going on inside. This was not comparable to the kind of bamboo hat that could resist divine sense scanning. Even a Nascent Soul ancestor would have a hard time probing what was going on inside.

After Su You took his seat, a maidservant brought him spiritual melons and fruits. Although they were all inexpensive trinkets, it was clear that the service at Xutian Pavilion was excellent.

"Senior, would you like me to serve you here?" the beautiful maid asked shyly.

"No need, you can leave now. I'll call you back when I need something." Su You waved his hand in refusal, knowing full well the meaning behind the maid's words.

For these maids, serving these VIPs was a perk, since those who could go up to the second floor were either Golden Core cultivators or tycoons with assets exceeding 500,000 spirit stones.

Even a tiny bit of something slipping through their fingers would be enough for these maids to make a fortune.

Of course, some customers prefer to travel alone, which is why they inquire beforehand.

Su You naturally wouldn't keep him. It wasn't like he hadn't seen women before. The three maids he recruited on Luoxia Island were all beautiful and graceful, so he naturally wouldn't be interested in this kind of looks.

Moreover, the items he purchased this time were too valuable, so he dared not keep the other party there.

Sitting in a private room on the second floor, looking down at the seats below, there were tens of thousands of seats on the first floor, almost all of which were occupied by cultivators, most of whom were at the Foundation Establishment stage, with only a small number at the Qi Refining stage. However, being able to enter meant that one had a net worth of 50,000.

Amidst the clamor, an elderly man with a scholarly air stepped out from the central platform. His cultivation level, at the late stage of the Golden Core realm, was enough to overwhelm most of the cultivators present.

Although the other party was from the Void Heaven Sect, Su You didn't really recognize him. After all, the Void Heaven Sect had hundreds of Golden Core cultivators. Unless it was a Golden Core cultivator from a few important sect locations that he frequently visited, he might not recognize the other Golden Core cultivators.

As the bells and cauldrons beside them rang, the cultivators below gradually calmed down, and the first day of the auction officially began.

"I am Zhong Wuqing. I will be hosting this auction. Welcome all fellow enthusiasts to attend. The auction is now beginning." Although Zhong Wuqing looked old, his voice was full of energy. Even in the private room, Su You could still hear his loud voice.

"Today's first item for auction is the second-grade high-quality Breakthrough Pill, Purple Cloud Pill, which can help cultivators at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment break through their bottlenecks. The starting bid is 50,000 spirit stones."

"Fifty-three thousand spirit stones!"

"Sixty thousand spirit stones!"

……

The very first item sparked a bidding war among the cultivators below; the Void Heaven Pavilion certainly knows how to conduct auctions.

This kind of breakthrough pill, which can help one break through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, is very rare to find on the market, which explains why so many people are vying for it.

Su You did not participate in the competition. The late stage of Foundation Establishment was still a long way from him. Without the assistance of spiritual objects in cultivation, it would take about sixty years to slowly refine spiritual energy in the third-order spiritual vein.

After using a second-tier spirit orb for cultivation, it is indeed a bit difficult to continue cultivating at such a slow pace.

The advantage of a second-tier spirit pearl is that it not only has pure spiritual energy that can be directly refined, but it also does not cause harm to the body like pills, nor does it cause instability in the foundation, because it is cultivated by directly refining spiritual energy.

This is similar to cultivating in an environment with extremely rich spiritual energy, ensuring that one's foundation remains completely solid.

After the price of the Purple Cloud Pill was raised to 85,000 spirit stones, no one continued to raise the price. After all, the market price of this kind of pill is around 80,000, but it is just that it is not commonly seen.

Next up is a high-quality, top-grade spiritual artifact.

One by one, the treasures were auctioned off, and Su You also made a purchase, buying a set of pills to enhance the mana of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

He didn't plan to buy too many pills, since they contained toxic substances, but taking small amounts occasionally was still acceptable.

"Next up for auction are spirit beads made from second-tier low-grade spirit shells. These spirit beads are not only pure in spirit energy, but they also have some effect on breaking through bottlenecks. Also... there are ten spirit shells per set, ten sets in total, with a starting bid of eight thousand spirit stones."

"Eight thousand five hundred spirit stones!"

"Nine thousand spirit stones!"

……

The price gradually increased, and Su You directly quoted 11,000 spirit stones.

This price is almost the limit, because the price of a spirit pearl is generally ten times that of a normal pill, about one thousand spirit stones per pearl. His price of eleven thousand spirit stones is considered quite high.

However, second-tier spirit orbs are hard to find, so even with a slight premium, Su You could still accept it.

Of the ten sets of spirit beads, Su You bought five sets, with an average price of around 10,500.

He didn't buy all the spirit orbs, mainly because they were all low-grade second-tier orbs, and their effectiveness would be greatly reduced once he broke through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

Five sets of spirit orbs, plus the spirit orbs he still has, are enough for him to break through from the third level of Foundation Establishment to the fourth level.

However, after breaking through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, it would be somewhat uneconomical to continue using these spirit orbs for cultivation, mainly because the quality of the spirit orbs was too low, and using them would have little effect.
