Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate-Chapter 1069 - 561 Auction Begins_2

Chapter 1069: Chapter 561 Auction Begins_2 Chapter 1069: Chapter 561 Auction Begins_2 Fully aware of this, the other two were now exhibiting a respectful demeanor, their previously arrogant expressions having greatly changed.

At this time, however, Lin Tianming wasn’t concerned with these things.

In fact, he had indeed not revealed any sign of his true strength before, always presenting himself with the power of someone at the Foundation Establishment Eighth Level.

Although the demeanor of the cultivators who received him was arrogant, they were from Longqing Sect, which had a powerful backing. Coupled with their timely response, Lin Tianming naturally would not quibble over such trifles, nor would he easily offend a Golden Core Sect like Longqing Sect.

Thus, Lin Tianming waved his hand, signaling the cultivator before him to lead the way.

Seeing this, the cultivator’s face finally relaxed a lot, and he internally sighed a breath of relief.

The entire exchange had been witnessed by many cultivators queuing at a distance.

...

As Lin Tianming disappeared from sight, these cultivators then started to discuss amongst themselves.

Instantly, the already noisy scene became even livelier.

One cultivator in the crowd voiced their confusion, “That senior just now looks unfamiliar, I wonder which Golden Core expert they are, to also attend this auction.”

“Indeed… The senior’s aura and appearance are both unfamiliar, they’re likely not a Golden Core expert from the Golden Crow Country, probably attracted by the auction’s reputation, or just passing through.”

“Heh, the senior’s background isn’t what’s important…”

“It’s more about how that Longqing Sect fellow suddenly turned pale, looks like he got a lesson from that senior.”

“Careful, fellow daoist… we are in the Longqing Market…”

A Foundation Establishment Cultivator spoke up to remind, briefly interrupting the heated discussion.

Lin Tianming was unaware of all this, and even if he did know, he wouldn’t care about the discussions of these cultivators.

As for him at this moment, he was drinking tea and having a casual chat with Qin Xi in a magnificent VIP room, while they waited for the auction to officially start.

Meanwhile, Lin Tianming surveyed the Golden Core Auction Venue.

Following his gaze, the venue wasn’t too large, with a square stage in the center surrounded by nearly a hundred VIP rooms.

Like the auctions he had attended before, each VIP room was strictly isolated by protective enchantments.

Inside his VIP room, he could see the stage from all angles without any blind spots, but he couldn’t see anything from any of the other VIP rooms.

Such protective isolation also effectively safeguarded the privacy of the attendees.

Even if he won a treasure in the auction, it wouldn’t be easily revealed, nor would it attract the prying eyes of hostile cultivators, thus avoiding unnecessary trouble.

Because of this, Lin Tianming felt reassured and was even looking forward to the start of the auction.

Half a moment later.

As an elder in a yellow robe slowly walked onto the stage, he attracted Lin Tianming’s attention.

Looking over, the man had snowy white hair and a face full of wrinkles, his clothing marked with the emblem of the Longqing Sect, and his cultivation was at the Early Stage Golden Core Realm.

His old face and the faint hint of death in his aura suggested he was approaching the age for “sitting meditation.”

Based on these features, Lin Tianming recalled the information provided by Tang Xiuping and deduced the identity of the man.

If he wasn’t mistaken, this elder was undoubtedly Xie Yingshan, an established Golden Core Cultivator of the Longqing Sect.

Sure enough, with Xie Yingshan appearing on stage, he cupped his fists and made a respectful gesture to everyone around.

Then, Xie Yingshan said, “I am Xie Yingshan, and I welcome all fellow daoists present to attend this auction.”

As soon as his voice fell, a voice came from a VIP room.

“Old Ghost Xie, most of the daoists here are acquaintances, many of whom have attended several auctions.”

“I’m sure everyone is clear on the rules; there’s no need for suspense. Let’s start sooner rather than later, I still need to return to my alchemy.”

This was immediately followed by laughter from other directions.

“Yes, we’re all friends here; no need for pleasantries, let’s get started!”

Hearing these two comments, Xie Yingshan laughed awkwardly, showing no anger, seemingly very wary of the two cultivators teasing him.

Thus, Xie Yingshan chuckled, “Since He daoist is so eager, and the other daoists make a fair point, I won’t delay everyone’s time any longer.”

Having said this, Xie Yingshan slapped his storage bag and two Spiritual Medicine Materials appeared in his hand.

Following that, Xie Yingshan introduced, “Two Three-Leaf Purple Orchid plants will be auctioned together, with a starting bid of four thousand medium-grade spirit stones, and each bid must be no less than fifty spirit stones.”

As soon as his voice fell, the person who had first joked with Xie Yingshan immediately placed a bid.

“Four thousand three hundred spirit stones!”

Clearly, the first person to place a bid was none other than the He cultivator mentioned by Xie Yingshan, and he was also a Third Order Alchemy Master.

Lin Tianming, although not acquainted with or having had contact with him, was certain that Xie Yingshan must have known the identity of this person.

Otherwise, that person would not have bluntly claimed that he was in a rush to return to alchemy.

And this He surnamed Golden Core Cultivator should be from another Golden Core Sect, undoubtedly He Zhengsong of the Three Poisons Sect.

Lin Tianming came to such a conclusion because he had ample basis for it.

Among the seven major Golden Elixir Forces in the Golden Crow Country, He Zhengsong of the Three Poisons Sect was the only one who both was a Golden Core cultivator and a Third Order Alchemy Master.

With this, Lin Tianming immediately understood the specific identity of the bidder.

And now, He Zhengsong, upon encountering two extremely fine spiritual medicines, was so proactive in bidding, clearly a man obsessed with alchemy.

However, Lin Tianming himself, upon seeing these two Three-Leaf Purple Orchids, had no interest.

Although the medicine was indeed precious and very rare among Third Order spiritual medicines, and not commonly seen,

coincidentally, he happened to have this type of spiritual medicine in his possession.

As a result, Lin Tianming, even as a Third Order Alchemy Master, had no interest in bidding for these two spiritual medicine materials.

But he wasn’t the only one without interest; there were others among the present Golden Core cultivators who were interested, and not just one.

Obviously, not all of these bidding cultivators necessarily needed the medicine themselves.

While the Golden Crow Country was generally harmonious overall, internal competition always existed in secret.

In certain situations, even if they did not need it, they would secretly place bids to trip up rival forces, making them pay a higher price to acquire the treasures.

Under such circumstances, the first round of bidding climbed steadily and soon reached four thousand eight hundred spirit stones.

At this point, He Zhengsong, seeming determined to have the two Three-Leaf Purple Orchids, directly raised the auction price to five thousand spirit stones in one go.

As expected, such aggressive bidding deterred some of the competing cultivators.

Furthermore, the general value of two Three-Leaf Purple Orchids was around four thousand five hundred spirit stones.

Even during times of scarce resources, four thousand eight hundred spirit stones would be the very limit.

But now, the price reached five thousand medium-grade spirit stones, which was already much overpriced.

Consequently, upon hearing He Zhengsong’s price, those who had initially planned to bid fell silent.

As for those who were placing bids just to create obstacles, they were not really willing to spend such a high price on spiritual medicines they were not particularly concerned about.

In this situation, the final bidding price was set at five thousand medium-grade spirit stones and, in the end, He Zhengsong got his wish and secured the auction.

Following this, He Zhengsong completed the transaction with Xie Yingshan across the barrier, and the auction for the first treasure subsequently concluded.

During the intermission, Lin Tianming was inwardly taken aback, shaken by such a price.

In his heart, the Golden Crow Country was truly a nation where the Immortal Path flourished.

The value of these two Three-Leaf Purple Orchids was indeed not low; in the realm of Third Order spiritual medicines, they definitely counted as superior spiritual medicines, usually hardly seen.

And such an item, in Wei Kingdom, would be quite precious indeed.

But here, the Longqing Sect was even willing to auction it off.

If it were him, even if he did not need it momentarily, he would be somewhat reluctant to let it go.

Because of this, it demonstrated just how much more advanced the cultivation standards and the abundance of treasures were in the Golden Crow Country compared to Wei Kingdom.

The more it was so, the more Lin Tianming anticipated the ensuing treasures, including the final grand treasure of the auction.
