141: Black jade wolf hair brush

Sect Leader Yuan Wang of Qinglan Sect arrived very early; he had come quite early, but he maintained an aloof demeanor.

Many Cultivators wanted to approach him, but Yuan Wang ignored them all.

Yuan Wang's injuries had not fully recovered, but he had no choice; as a Sect Master, he still had to attend, as there were items he needed at the Auction.

As the Sect Master, he couldn't be like Grand Elder Luo Wei, who only needed to hide behind the scenes to have access to all resources.

He didn't want to speak much, fearing that too much talking would expose his severe injuries.

Sitting in the front row were mostly Clan Chiefs or representatives from various Cultivation Families, along with Sect Leader Yuan Wang of Qinglan Sect and City Lord of Qingyang City, City Lord Chen He.

For these prominent Cultivators, this was not just an Auction but also a highly significant social event.

"The Auction officially begins!" Chen Sichen said seriously.

"The first item up for bid is the highly anticipated Foundation Establishment Pill, a Low Grade Foundation Establishment Pill, with a starting bid of 2,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones, and each increment must not be less than 100 Low-Grade Spirit Stones."

The first item was a blockbuster, surprisingly a rare Foundation Establishment Pill in Qingyang.

One Foundation Establishment Pill was roughly equivalent to one Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator.

And the status of a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator in Qingyang was self-evident.

For three Spiritual Root Cultivators, the probability of successfully Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment by consuming a Low Grade Foundation Establishment Pill was only twenty percent, but it was not guaranteed that the Cultivator himself did not have other means to increase the probability of Foundation Establishment.

All the Cultivators present held their breath, looking at the tray in the hand of the maid on the high platform.

Inside the Advanced wooden tray, a jade bottle was quietly placed, and inside the jade bottle was precisely a Low Grade Foundation Establishment Pill.

Lin Yongmao couldn't help but think to himself, the City Lord's Mansion also understood marketing; this small Foundation Establishment Pill was packaged so exquisitely, making it look very high-grade.

The eyes of ordinary Loose Cultivators were fervent; this was the Cultivation resource they dreamed of, and their chance to change their fate in a Heaven-Defying way.

Yuan Wang looked at the Foundation Establishment Pill so close at hand, his expression also turned a bit grim; he hadn't expected the Lin Family to actually produce a Second-Order Alchemist, and one who could even refine Foundation Establishment Pills.

Lin Yongmao's figure, that young man who mastered the art of cauldron explosions, appeared in Yuan Wang's mind.

"2,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones."

"2,100 Low-Grade Spirit Stones."

"2,500 Low-Grade Spirit Stones."

...

Bids kept ringing out, mostly from Loose Cultivators; as for the Clan Chiefs of the major Cultivation Families, they did not bid easily.

They had already received inside information that there was more than one Foundation Establishment Pill.

In less than half a minute, the price of a Low Grade Foundation Establishment Pill had already risen to four thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, more than doubling.

City Lord Chen He looked at Yuan Wang's complex expression beside him and couldn't help but say, "Sect Leader Yuan, the value of this Foundation Establishment Pill is truly high! If Qinglan Sect had been willing to sell Foundation Establishment Pills earlier, what a huge fortune that would have been!"

Yuan Wang snorted coldly and said indifferently, "City Lord is joking; our Qinglan Sect's Second-Order Alchemist's skill is not refined, and the number of Foundation Establishment Pills refined is extremely limited, so there's simply no surplus to sell."

"Oh~"

City Lord Chen He responded with a half-smile.

Now that the Lin Family had produced a Second-Order Alchemist and was willing to sell Foundation Establishment Pills, this was good news for Loose Cultivators.

Even if the price of the Foundation Establishment Pill was very expensive, it at least gave them a chance to Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment.

Otherwise, most Loose Cultivators in Qingyang would spend their entire lives stagnating at the Qi Refinement Stage Realm.

"Five thousand three hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones, once!"

"Five thousand three hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones, twice!"

"Five thousand three hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones, thrice!"

"Sold!"

The sound of the gavel echoed, and the first Foundation Establishment Pill was bought by a Loose Cultivator over fifty years old; his face was filled with joy, and at the same time, he looked around vigilantly.

Five thousand three hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones could be said to be his half-life's savings, but he felt it was extremely worthwhile to exchange half a lifetime's savings for a chance to Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment.

"Next is the second item..."

From the second item onwards, the items became unremarkable; they were all Yao Beast Materials, though not ordinary Materials, at least extremely precious Materials from Late Stage First-Order Yao Beasts.

Basically, everyone took what they needed, and there were no unsold items.

The Clan Chiefs of the major Families and Sect Leader Yuan Wang of Qinglan Sect all looked uninterested, not even bothering to lift their eyelids.

Only Lin Yucheng continuously bid, but he was also very rational, buying suitable Yao Beast Materials whenever they appeared.

After experiencing a beast tide, there were simply too many of these Yao Beast Materials in Qingyang, and now they were all flowing into the market at once.

Especially Yao Beast fur, Lin Yucheng bought a large quantity.

The Lin family Old Ancestor left behind the Three-Tier Talisman Master Heritage; as long as there were descendants in the Family who could grow into Talisman Makers, they would be strongly supported.

Seemingly discerning Lin Yucheng's intention, Cao Yusheng probed, "Senior Lin, buying so many Yao Beast Materials?"

Lin Yucheng waved his hand and said, "Brother Cao, please don't call me Senior anymore; we can address each other as equals. The four major Families should naturally be united."

After speaking, he didn't forget to coldly glance at Yuan Wang.

Cao Yusheng laughed heartily and said, "Then I shall respectfully obey, Brother Lin!"

"These Materials look good, and they can be stored for a long time, so I'm just buying them for now," Lin Yucheng replied, naturally unable to reveal that his Family had the Three-Tier Talisman Master Heritage.

Just as the group was about to continue their discussion, the next item on the high platform caught everyone's attention, and Cao Yusheng and the others tacitly ended their conversation.

"The eighteenth item up for bid is the top-grade Magical Artifact, the 'Dark Jade Wolf Hair Brush,' with a starting bid of 1,500 Low-Grade Spirit Stones, and each increment must not be less than 100 Low-Grade Spirit Stones."

On the display stand, a Talisman brush with a dark jade-colored handle and a deep black brush tip was presented before everyone's eyes; although it looked simple and unadorned, it attracted the attention of all Cultivators present.

Chen Sichen introduced, "Although this top-grade Magical Artifact is not for combat, it is the Talisman brush most needed by Talisman Makers.

The handle of the Dark Jade Wolf Hair Brush is made from the hardest part of the spine of a Second-Order Yao Beast, the 'Dark Jade Wolf,' while the material for the brush tip is the softest fur from the 'Dark Jade Wolf.'"

It was just a pity that this top-grade Magical Artifact was not a combat type; otherwise, most Cultivators would definitely join the competition.

Lin Yucheng made several consecutive bids, and even as the price climbed higher and higher, he did not give up.

This Talisman brush was good; as long as a Talisman Maker emerged from the Family, this Talisman brush could be awarded to him.

Yuan Wang saw Lin Yucheng's eagerness for this Talisman brush, so he also spoke, "I bid three thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones."

He didn't genuinely need it; as long as he could cause some trouble for the Lin Family, he felt this bid was worthwhile.
