Chapter 42 - The Auction Begins
Elder Li was about to lose his mind!
Those two pills that Lin Yi had casually left on the table as if they were worthless beans were actually the Resident Face Pills that were so valuable that they could drive countless female cultivators crazy?
"Quickly ... put them away!"
Terrified, Elder Li hurriedly and carefully put the two Resident Face Pills back into the pill bottle, just in case something went wrong.
Only after he had done so, did he release his efforts to wipe his cold sweat.
"Fellow Daoist, are you sure you want to send it?" Elder Li wasn't very sure in his heart.
This wasn't some crappy Nayuan Pill, it was a Face Resurfacing Pill, ah!
Its value was not much lower than the Lifespan Pill!
You should know that even though the medical effects of the Lifespan Pill were heavenly and could extend one's life by 20 years, no matter what, it was always only 20 years.
Whereas the Longevity Dan ... is permanent!
Once taken, it will be able to fix the face at this moment for eternity, and will never cause external aging due to age!
What kind of concept is this?
An eighteen-year-old girl in her prime, as long as she takes this pill, until she dies of old age after a few years, she will still have the same face as when she was eighteen years old!
Without hesitation, this was an elixir that could move the hearts of handsome men, and countless women would go crazy and even desperately grab it!
But what about Lin Yi?
He had even directly sold the Face Residence Pill!
Moreover, from his flippant movements, it looked like ... he didn't care about these two Face Residing Pills at all.
"Dao ... fellow Daoist."
Elder Li swallowed hard and asked, "The value of the Face Residence Dan is beyond evaluation, these two might be able to sell for a higher price than the Lifespan Dan!"
Lin Yi was secretly surprised, but it was just a simple Face Residence Pill, how could it be so important in the eyes of Earth cultivators?
Was its appearance really so important? How could it be compared to an elixir that increased Yang life span?
At that time, Elder Li said to himself, "Ever since Qin Emperor Ying Zheng destroyed the six kingdoms and unified China two thousand years ago, there has never been a second Infant Transformation Stage cultivator born on the land of China!
"No matter how a cultivator cultivates, he will always stop at the YuanYing level and will never be able to break through to the Infant Transformation level, and the highest and strongest cultivators will only have a life span of a thousand years."
"Therefore, the Life Span Dan is certainly amazing, but for most people, the Residence Dan is even more precious..."
Elder Li was clutching the medicine bottle of the Longevity Pill tightly in his hands, and he seemed to have gotten carried away with excitement.
He was completely oblivious to the change in Lin Yi's demeanor.
"China, there are no cultivators above the Infant Transformation level?"
Lin Yi's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, he still did not understand the history of China's successive generations of cultivation, listening to what Elder Li said, more than two thousand years had passed, and the highest powerhouse born in China's cultivation realm was only at the Yuanying stage?
What happened over two thousand years ago?
This question made Lin Yi seriously ponder, he had just returned, in fact, vaguely perceived some clues.
Heaven and Earth ... seemed to be missing something.
"Forget it, the current me is just a small cultivator at the Qi Practice level, these things, it's not my turn to look into them."
Shaking off all the doubts in his mind, Lin Yi stopped thinking too much.
While Elder Li was still drunk on the Residence Pill, he continued, "Qi Practice Stage cultivators, there is not much difference between their lifespan and that of an ordinary person, at most they will live for a hundred years."
"And the cultivators of the Foundation Establishment Stage will only live for two hundred years."
"Instead, Jindan-stage cultivators can live for five hundred years, and the top YuanYing old monsters will be reduced to a pile of yellow earth after a thousand years."
"Therefore, the preciousness of the Residence Pill is obvious!"
Saying this, Elder Li looked at Lin Yi, his eyes burning as he said, "In tonight's auction, the Face Residence Pill can be auctioned in its entirety in the finale along with the Lifespan Pill!"
Lin Yi nodded his head, looked at the time, and said, "It's about to start, right?"
"Damn!"
Li Lao slapped his head and said, "Look at my confused ... quickly! Fellow Daoists, hurry to the website, the auction will start soon!"
Elder Li didn't have much to say, he had a lot more work to do than Lin Yi.
"Then I'll say goodbye first."
Lin Yi smiled weakly and left.
When he came out, the backstage treasure evaluation room was empty, as if everyone had run to the scene.
When Lin Yi returned to the scene, he was surprised by the blackness of the silhouettes.
"According to the initial count, I'm afraid that there are no less than five hundred cultivators present!
These were only the cultivators who had received the entrance rolls. In the outside world, there are even more cultivators who haven't received the entrance rolls!
Don't forget, this is only the Sea Province.
It was unimaginable how many cultivators would be hiding in the folklore and roaming the bustling cities of vast China!
"There are countless cultivators who can pose a threat to me, so I have to be careful!"
Lin Yi reminded himself once again that he was no longer the peak cultivator of the Ferrying Stage, he was just a small cultivator of the Qi Practicing Stage, so small that he couldn't be any smaller.
Among the five hundred people present, if you picked one of them at random, I'm afraid his strength wouldn't be inferior to his.
And there was even a group of cultivators who could easily crush Lin Yi, and there were even a few strong ones who could knock Lin Yi down with a single punch!
"Calm down, try to improve your self-preservation abilities, it's imperative that we get our hands on ten thousand people's blood first!" Lin Yi slowly stabilized his mind.
He sat a little further away from the auction table.
Unfortunately, the woman was sitting next to him.
The woman wanted to ask Lin Yi about the Lifespan Pill several times, but when the words came out of her mouth, she was too embarrassed to open her mouth, after all, she had accused Lin Yi of being stingy earlier ... .
Of course, if she didn't say anything, Lin Yi wouldn't make a fool of himself.
Soon, the auction began under the eyes of everyone!
"Fellow Daoists, welcome to the once in a decade Lake Province Auction, you've been waiting for a long time and I think you can't wait any longer, so without further ado, it will officially begin!"
On the auction stage, an old man in a Zhongshan suit spoke quickly.
As soon as his words were out, an insider carried up a thick, dark red wood, attracting the attention of many people.
The old man introduced, "This is a yin-red wood of excellent color, capable of achieving a tranquilizing effect, offered at the low price of 100 cultivation coins!"
Most of the cultivators knew about the Yin Red Wood, and its effect was to tranquilize the mind.
Don't underestimate Yin Hong Wood, the difference between it and the sandalwood that ordinary people know, those things that have the effect of tranquilizing the mind, is not a point and a half!
Immediately, a number of cultivators raised their cards.
"I offer two hundred cultivation coins!"
"Heh, two hundred cultivation coins and you want to buy a fine yin redwood? I'll offer you four hundred!"
"It just so happens that I need to cultivate a floating and wild technique recently, this wood will definitely help me a lot if I use it as a beam, five hundred cultivation coins, I'll take it!"
Lin Yi half narrowed his eyes, in his mind, these cultivation coins should be the currency used between cultivators.
Like most cultivators, he did not make a move.
This was just the first piece, an appetizer, the real heavy treasure was yet to come!
In the end, this Yinhong Wood was auctioned off to a female cultivator with an icy breath at a price of seven hundred cultivation coins.
The second item brought onto the stage was a strangely shaped compass.
Seeing that many people were puzzled, the old man smiled and introduced, "This compass is called the Dragon Disc, as the name suggests, it is the thing used to find dragons and point out acupuncture points, in the Feng Shui achievements of the Taoist friends, you cannot miss the excellent magic weapon, if the luck of heaven, it is not impossible to find the Dragon Vein!"
Upon hearing this, many people were shocked.
"What? It's actually possible to find a dragon vein!"
"Dragon veins are extremely mysterious and difficult to find in the world!"
Looking at the excitement in the arena, the old man secretly nodded his head in satisfaction and said loudly, "The reserve bid price, three hundred Cultivation Coins!"
Surprisingly, the reserve price was only set at three hundred Cultivation Coins?
When many people turned their eyes, they understood again.
The old man was just saying that it was possible, and everyone could see that he was saying it on purpose to raise the price.
If there really was such a celestial function as finding a dragon vein, only a fool would sell this magical treasure!
There were very few people who participated in the bidding, and no one opened their mouths too late.
After all, the vast majority of cultivators are not interested in these things to find the Dragon Vein, everyone out of cultivation really is about a bright and open, very few people are willing to get involved with these impure things.
On the contrary, Lin Yi took a little interest, raised his shield, and shouted, "Four hundred cultivation coins.
Lin Yi's sudden outburst caught the attention of many people, but they didn't think much of it.
"Five hundred cultivation coins for the first time, does anyone else want to bid?"
Just as the old man finished speaking, a man with a lean physique and a completely covered face in the corner opened his mouth, "Five hundred cultivation coins!"
