Chapter 613 - 250: One Million Spirit Stones
Chapter 613: Chapter 250: One Million Spirit Stones
However, Hundred Acupoints Daoist was frozen in his private room, his mind buzzing.
’No way.’
He couldn’t understand it. Why had Xiao Chen not only bid a million Spirit Stones, but done so with a tone as casual as if he were talking about a hundred?
’The price is already this high, and you raise it without a shred of hesitation?’
’Do your Spirit Stones grow on trees? Did they just fall from the sky? Did someone hand them to you for free?’
’What gives you the right to spend money like that?’
In the end, Xiao Chen naturally won the Talisman Treasure.
Next, Luo Hanxiang held up a jade vial. "The next item up for auction," she announced, "is the Tier Four Spirit Pill that many of my fellow Daoists have been eagerly awaiting!"
"I’m sure you are all quite curious about the precise effects of the Spirit Pill we have here today."
"I won’t keep you in suspense. It has only one purpose—to extend one’s life!"
"That’s right. This is a Tier Four Primordial Purity Life Extension Pill. It can extend the lifespan of a Nascent Soul Cultivator by six years, or that of a Golden Core Cultivator by thirty years."
"The starting bid is six hundred thousand Spirit Stones!"
The presentation of a Tier Four Elixir commanded the full attention of the many old monsters seated in the A-Class Private Rooms.
However, upon learning that its only effect was to extend one’s lifespan, half of them instantly lost interest.
But the other half, the Nascent Soul True Monarchs who were no longer in their prime, considered it a good time to start making preparations.
"COUGH... COUGH...!"
A pair of aged, hoarse coughs rang out. "I bid one million Spirit Stones!"
What?
Another million Spirit Stones!
The crowd immediately turned toward the sound, discovering that the aged voice came from A-Class Private Room Seven.
That explained it. A Nascent Soul True Monarch would have deep pockets. For one of the older ones, a million Spirit Stones was hardly an issue.
Someone even guessed the bidder’s identity. "That voice is awfully familiar. It sounds like the Yi Family Ancestor from the Cangming Sea."
"It’s really him?"
"No wonder he opened with a million Spirit Stones. I heard he once posted a bounty for that same amount."
The hall immediately erupted in discussion, as those in the know began to tell the few Cultivators who were uninformed about this veteran Nascent Soul expert who had lived for over twelve hundred years.
Learning of his great age drew another wave of sighs and murmurs from the crowd.
"So, it’s Yi."
A warm, sincere voice spoke from A-Class Private Room Three. "Since you are in need, Yi, I will let you have it."
After all, the price was already on the high side.
"COUGH!"
The Yi Family Ancestor immediately responded, "This old man thanks you, Daoist Yun Feng."
"So A-Class Three is True Monarch Yun Feng. No wonder his room number is so high up."
Hearing the Dharma Name, a Loose Cultivator in the crowd below had a sudden realization.
Someone immediately followed up in awe, "Is that the venerable True Monarch who slew a Nascent Soul-level sea monster just twenty years ago?"
"That’s right, the very same."
"In the entire Mojie Sect, he is the most senior and the most powerful. He must be over eight hundred years old by now."
Xiao Chen was also somewhat surprised as he listened to the crowd’s chatter.
’I didn’t expect True Monarch Yun Feng to be so vigorous for his age.’
’By all rights, someone his age shouldn’t have much of a fighting spirit left. It’s incredible that he still possesses such Combat Power.’
The other private rooms remained silent; clearly, no one wanted to pay a premium to compete with Elder Yi.
They hadn’t consumed nearly as many Life-extending Elixirs, so there was no need to spend money so wastefully.
Moreover, since there were so few Nascent Soul True Monarchs, speaking up was practically the same as revealing one’s identity.
If they weren’t in a rush to extend their own lifespans, word getting out would not reflect well on their reputation.
Luo Hanxiang realized this as well. "One million Spirit Stones going once... one million Spirit Stones..."
"Wait a moment!"
Just as she was about to rush through the formalities, a sinister voice suddenly rang out. "Little girl, what’s the hurry?"
"I’m raising the price. I’ll add one thousand Spirit Stones."
