Only after becoming emperor did he realize he was in a fantasy world of immortal cultivation.

When the price of nine hundred spirit stones was announced, many people gasped.

This starting price is almost comparable to that of a regular high-grade magic weapon.

But ultimately, the allure of the magical artifacts was simply too great for everyone present.

Before long, a lean man among the scattered seats spoke first, his voice booming: "Nine hundred and fifty spirit stones!"

"One thousand!" Before he finished speaking, a female cultivator not far away calmly raised the price, her eyes fixed on the "Nether Tide" on the tray.

"One thousand and fifty." A slightly muffled voice came from another private room.

"One thousand one!"

Prices are rising steadily.

Gong Yi listened intently to the bids, nodded slightly, and whispered to Lin Yuan, "It seems that although this 'Master Moyan' is not well-known, his items are quite solid. This bidding momentum will likely eventually approach or even exceed 1,500 spirit stones."

Of course, a thousand or a hundred spirit stones were nothing to him.

However, they are extremely rare at auction houses.

According to the rules, each competing item at the auction house is better than the last.

He's getting more and more excited about the competitors coming up.

Lin Yuan hummed in agreement, his gaze casually falling on the familiar dagger below.

"One thousand three hundred spirit stones!" The price was raised to a new level, and the male voice that made the bid came from the private room.

This price made some competitors hesitate. After all, it was only a mid-grade magic item; anything over 1300 required careful consideration.

A brief silence.

Old Master Mo's gaze swept calmly across the room, without urging anyone on, but an invisible pressure permeated the silence.

"Five thousand five hundred spirit stones." The female cultivator who had made the previous bid spoke again, her tone steady, but her brows were slightly furrowed.

Many people present couldn't help but gasp.

However, the next moment, the man in the private room said in a calm voice, "One thousand five hundred and fifty spirit stones."

After he finished speaking, everyone fell silent for a moment.

"One thousand five hundred and fifty spirit stones, for the first time." After a long while, Elder Mo's voice rang out.

No one answered.

"One thousand five hundred and fifty spirit stones, for the second time."

Still silent.

"One thousand five hundred and fifty spirit stones, for the third time."

Master Mo gently tapped the dark-colored token in his hand against the edge of the platform.

"bite--"

The clear, melodious sound signified that ownership had been decided.

"Sold. The 'Ghost Tide' dagger is now the property of Fellow Daoist in Room 7. Please complete the transaction after the auction."

A maid carried away the tray containing the daggers. The first item was sold smoothly, and the atmosphere was gently ignited.

Without the slightest hesitation, Old Mo turned his gaze to the second tray.

"The second item—"

As the red silk slipped down, a fresh medicinal fragrance mixed with a faint earthy smell wafted out. On the tray lay a strange plant, its entire body purplish-red, its leaves thick, and its top bearing three crimson fruits the size of longans. Its roots were intact and still covered with moist spiritual mud.

"A century-old 'Earth Dragon Blood Ginseng' grows in a damp, shady place where the earth's veins converge, absorbing the earth's energy and the faint residual blood energy of dragon-type demon beasts. Its fruit contains pure blood energy, which can aid in cultivation, replenish deficiencies in qi and blood, and is also an excellent ingredient for refining elixirs. Starting bid: 1,200 spirit stones, with each bid increment no less than 50."

New bids were made, and the atmosphere in the hall gradually became more heated.

Inside the private room, Lin Yuan's attention was also drawn to this spiritual herb.

Putting everything else aside, this aid to cultivation suits his needs perfectly.

"Five thousand five hundred spirit stones." Lin Yuan's voice came from the private room, drawing the attention of Gong Yi and Gong Li.

"Lin Yuan, are you interested in this Earth Dragon Blood Ginseng?" Gong Yi asked.

Lin Yuan nodded slightly.

Gong Li said, "This earth dragon blood ginseng is indeed quite good."

"One thousand five hundred and fifty spirit stones." Soon someone added more spirit stones.

"This guy just finished competing for the dagger, and now he's joining in the blood ginseng frenzy," Gong Yi said, glancing out the window at the familiar voice. "I'd like to see who it is."
