175 Participating in the Auction
Chapter 175 Participating in the Auction
Luo Mingyi was walking in the market, and she knew very well that there were two little tails following her.
The two people who followed her were most likely sent by Lingxiao Pavilion. It seems that this beauty pill gave them the courage to follow her and find out which peak she is from.
But they were wrong in the end!
Luo Mingyi walked into a shop selling vestments. When she came out again, she had changed her clothes and even her appearance was very different from before.
The two people who were following her were still staring at the vestry shop without blinking.
Luo Mingyi returned safely to the cave abode on Danyan Peak. During these three days, she had been in the space and had never gone out. Counting it up, she had stayed in the space for a full twelve days.
During these twelve days, apart from repairing the chain, the main task every day was to refine the Purple Extreme Pearl!
This time, she also bought some top-grade spirit beads to refine the Purple Extreme Beads, so that they could withstand more Purple Extreme Spiritual Flames.
However, the power of the Purple Extreme Pearl refined this time is dozens of times greater than before!
The high-quality spirit beads are obviously harder and have a more stable carrying capacity. The amount of Purple Extreme Spiritual Flame that could be preserved reached three times of what it had before. Luo Mingyi guessed that the power of this Purple Extreme Pearl was now at least as powerful as a full-strength attack from a cultivator at the fifth level of Foundation Establishment!
However, the upgraded Purple Extreme Pearl is extremely difficult to refine. Perhaps it is because the temperature of the Purple Extreme Spiritual Flame is too high. If one is not careful, this top-grade spiritual pearl will be completely melted.
After refining a Purple Extreme Pearl every day, Luo Mingyi would stop and repair the chain to condense the spiritual liquid while waiting for the energy of the Purple Extreme Spiritual Flame to recover!
After a cultivator breaks through to the foundation-building stage, the power of the spiritual fire in his body will also increase. Luo Mingyi also tried using spiritual fire, but was unable to refine a spiritual flame bead.
During these three days in the space, Luo Mingyi refined a total of fifteen purple beads. With these beads, even if she is just a cultivator who has just entered the foundation-building stage, when she encounters an enemy in the late foundation-building stage, she can throw these purple beads at him and blow the enemy half to death!
When the three days were up, Luo Mingyi left the cave and entered a space in a secluded place. He changed into the clothes he wore when he went to Lingxiao Pavilion that day and came to the market.
As soon as I stepped into the gate of Lingxiao Pavilion, Manager Wang came to greet me with a happy face.
"Dear guest, you are finally here! The auction will begin in a quarter of an hour!"
Luo Mingyi hummed, took out the bottle of medicine and handed it to him. Shopkeeper Wang very politely took Luo Mingyi with him on the teleportation array to the auction venue, and then took Luo Mingyi to a very luxurious room.
The room was exquisitely furnished, and there were two young female cultivators with beautiful faces standing inside.
"Dear guest, please take a rest here. This is the auction list for this auction. Although this is just a small auction, those who can come here are all important people. Your room is number three. If you like it, just bid directly, and it can be deducted from the share of the beauty pill!"
Hearing what Shopkeeper Wang said, Luo Mingyi nodded, "Okay, I understand!"
After Shopkeeper Wang left, one of the women stepped forward and locked the door from the inside, and explained to Luo Mingyi:
"Senior, for your safety, this room will not be opened until the auction is over. No one can come in during the auction!"
Luo Mingyi felt a little uncomfortable. Although this was to protect the guests, it also restricted their freedom. But she changed her mind and realized that the beauty pill was the last one to be auctioned, so she had to wait until the end.
After Luo Mingyi sat down, the two female cultivators with chain energy stood obediently by her side. One made spiritual tea while the other opened the auction list for Luo Mingyi and introduced each item of the day to her.
Through the conversation, Luo Mingyi also learned about the origins of the two. Both of them were independent cultivators. In order to earn spirit stones, they came to work in Lingxiao Pavilion and were responsible for entertaining guests at the auction.
The older woman is called Yuqing, she is eighteen years old and has reached the sixth level of Qi Chain. There is also a slightly younger one named Yuxin, she is fifteen years old and has reached the fourth level of Qi Chain.
The auction started soon. This was Luo Mingyi's first time to officially participate in an auction. Previously, he participated in small-scale monk exchanges.
The room she was staying in was on the fifth floor of the entire auction. The room faced a vast exhibition hall. In the center of the exhibition hall, there rose a circular platform that was a hundred feet in size. The height of the entire platform reached dozens of feet!
No wonder Yu Xin said that her private room number three is a luxury room! Everything on this high platform can be seen clearly.
And this time, because the auction was held under the name of beauty pills, more than half of the people who came to participate in the auction were female cultivators!
Every box on the first to fifth floors is packed with people! There were also many foundation-building and core-forming cultivators sitting in the exhibition hall.
A young man and woman stood on the high platform. The man was gentle and elegant, while the woman had an exquisite and beautiful face. Luo Mingyi could not see through their cultivation levels. Based on the spiritual pressure from them, she guessed that they should both be Jindan stage cultivators.
After an exciting opening speech, the auction officially began!
"Next, our Fairy Miaozhen will introduce us to the first item of today's auction, the Soul-Breaking Pill!"
The woman beside her gently took the pill bottle, took out the pill and placed it on the display plate in her hand, smiled slightly, and spoke softly:
"All of you fellow Taoists should know that this Poling Pill is for cultivators to take when they are trying to reach the Jindan stage. It can increase the chances of success by at least 10%!"
Seeing that everyone's eyes were looking at the pill with a hint of red on the display plate, Fairy Miaozhen smiled slightly, "The starting price of this pill is one hundred middle-grade spirit stones per pill! Each bid increase must not be less than ten middle-grade spirit stones!"
As soon as Fairy Miao Zhen finished speaking, a cultivator who had reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment in the exhibition hall couldn't wait to speak:
"One hundred and ten middle-grade spirit stones!"
"One hundred and thirty medium-grade spirit stones!"
"One hundred and eighty medium-grade spirit stones!"
...
At this time, not only did the monks in the exhibition hall below the stage begin to raise the prices frantically, but even people in the boxes began to participate in the bidding.
Luo Mingyi did not move. This broken spiritual pill was a fourth-grade pill. As long as she had the spiritual seed, she could refine it herself. Moreover, she carefully examined the pill and judging from its color, it should be a low-grade Spirit-Breaking Pill, which could only increase the success rate of pill formation by 10%.
If the quality of this Broken Spirit Pill can reach the best, it can increase the success rate of forming the pill by 40%.
In the end, the price of this Broken Spirit Pill finally stopped at five hundred medium-grade spirit stones per pill! It was obtained by a monk in the third-floor box.
Fairy Miaozhen did not expect that the auction of just a broken elixir would make the atmosphere of the auction so hot. She was excited and took the second item from the man next to her.
