Chapter 77 Auction
Soon, Bai Xiaochun limped on Xiangyun Mountain, his hair stood up, his face turned a little black, and he crawled back to the yard with lingering fear. When he thought of countless lightning chasing him just now, his heart trembled and immediately swore that he would never fly on a thunderstorm day in the future.
This is not flying, this is going to kill yourself!
In the wooden house, Bai Xiaochun grinned and after a while, he calmed down and sat cross-legged on the bed. Looking at the wind and rain outside the window, his cultivation was slowly wandering, flowing all over his body.
"The second-level spiritual medicine is suitable for below the eighth level of Qi Condensation. If you want to continue to improve your cultivation, you can only refine the third-level spiritual medicine." Bai Xiaochun pondered with his chin.
"The third-level spiritual medicine must be extremely difficult. You must familiarize yourself with the second-level spiritual medicine before you can be safe. Otherwise, the foundation will be unstable and you will not be sure of success." Bai Xiaochun opened the storage bag, looked at his savings, and sighed. He had received a lot of gifts as a glorious disciple before.
However, the cost of refining medicines during these days is just as terrifying. Although his alchemy habit is very conservative, his savings have been reduced a lot at this moment.
"It won't work like this. There will always be times when it's used up." Bai Xiaochun lowered his head and thought hard.
"I am a very powerful pharmacist now. I can sell the medicine I have refined." Bai Xiaochun was immediately excited when he thought of this. When the next morning, the rain stopped outside, he immediately left his residence and went to Shanxiafang City to find out. After learning about the price of the elixir, he bought a large amount of herbs, and even went to the sect to exchange for part of it with his contribution.
Then he returned to the Alchemy Pavilion and began to refine medicine.
He did not refine second-level pills. Although the price is higher, it can consume a lot. Bai Xiaochun knew his habits. Once he refines medicine, it will take too long.
So he chose the first-level pill he was most familiar with. After a few days, he refined three kinds of elixirs of eight or nine pills, and two spiritual incense sticks, and then he went down the mountain to the market.
The market under the south bank of Lingxi Sect is not large in size. Except for the elders of the sect and some powerful inner disciples who can own shops, most of them are opened by the cultivation family in Donglinzhou.
Just like a small town, the inner and outer disciples of the three mountains on the south bank of Lingxi Sect are in and out here on weekdays, which is very lively. Bai Xiaochun has been here many times. At this moment, he is familiar with the passage and walks in the market. He enters a medicine shop and coughs dryly. The guy in the medicine shop immediately stepped forward.
"Call your shopkeeper. This time, in addition to purchasing herbs, I also have to sell some pills." Bai Xiaochun sat on the chair and said with a smile.
Not long after, a middle-aged man in a purple robe walked over quickly and smiled when he saw Bai Xiaochun.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, I'm Sun Chen, I have heard about many brilliant things about Fellow Daoist Bai. Because I was worried about disturbing him, I didn't take the initiative to go to the visit, so don't blame me." The middle-aged man smiled and sat next to Bai Xiaochun, clasped his fists and said, "He dared not offend Bai Xiaochun, and knew that the other party's status in the sect was transcendent, especially the identity of the glorious disciple, which made his family, even if there was a hundred-year agreement from the head, still wanted to please him."
Bai Xiaochun laughed and politely treated the middle-aged man. Then he took out three medicine bottles and the two spiritual incense sticks and placed them on the table.
"Fellow Daoist Sun estimates the price." Bai Xiaochun raised his chin.
Sun Chen smiled and picked up these pills. After looking at them one by one, he looked surprised. Although these first-level pills were all low-grade, with impurities accounting for 81% or 2%, they were infinitely close to medium-grade. They were not as low-grade pills as they purchased before, but the impurities looked 84% or 5%.
"Brother Bai's medicine is superb. My Sun family wants all these spiritual medicines. Let's do this, it's worth 120 spirit stones, how about it?" Sun Chen looked up at Bai Xiaochun, and his eyes gradually became brighter.
Bai Xiaochun was immediately surprised. The price was almost the same as four spirit stones, and it was already the highest among the first-level low-grade elixirs.
In fact, the cost is just one half spirit stone on average.
With a happy mood, Bai Xiaochun and Sun Chen handed over. After Sun Chen was determined to show his affection, the two had a great chat. After the final agreement that the elixir would be sent, Bai Xiaochun did not ask for the spirit stone, but exchanged for the same herbs, and then left satisfied.
Time passed, and several months passed quickly. In the past few months, Bai Xiaochun, in addition to refining first-level spiritual medicines to sell, he received a large number of herbs, and was also constantly familiar with the refining of various second-level spiritual medicines.
Gradually, he became more proficient in refining second-level spiritual medicines.
At the same time, the cooperation with Sun Family Pharmaceutical Store has become more and more stable. Almost all of his pills were bought by Sun Family Pharmaceutical Store. On this day, Bai Xiaochun took out a few bottles of spiritual medicine in the Sun Family Pharmaceutical Store, and after chatting with Sun Chen, Sun Chen said with emotion.
"Brother Bai, with your achievements in medicine refining, why not refine some second-level spiritual medicines? Three months later, it will be a hundred auction here every few years. If Brother Bai can refine second-level spiritual medicines at that time, Sun can arrange for the auction, and the price will definitely be higher and lower." Sun Chen looked at Bai Xiaochun. After the past few months of contact, he found that Bai Xiaochun was very cheerful, sleek, and had a very pleasant relationship with each other, so he suggested.
Bai Xiaochun has also heard of the hundreds of auctions that have been held every few years. It was an auction held by hundreds of cultivation families in Donglin Prefecture. There were three games in total. The first game was chosen in Bei'anfang City, the second game was in Nan'anfang City, and the last game was held in Donglin City, the largest monk city in Donglin Prefecture.
Bai Xiaochun was in Lingxi Sect for several years. This auction was held once before, but at that time he had just become an outer disciple and was busy eating the spirit-tail cock and had no interest in the auction.
At this moment, Bai Xiaochun was a little moved. After inquiring about the time when the auction was held on the South Bank, Bai Xiaochun and Sun Chen said goodbye, returned to the Alchemy Pavilion, sat cross-legged there and thought for a while, and made a decision.
"What Sun Chen said makes sense. Instead of selling it a little bit like this, it is better to take this opportunity to sell it at a good price at once, so that you can get more precious plants and trees." Bai Xiaochun thought of this, and the second-level spiritual medicine came to his mind, and finally chose... the purple Qi Ascending Spirit Pill, which he is most familiar with.
With this determination, Bai Xiaochun went to the Refining Pavilion to refine the Purple Qi Soul Pill. Time passed. Two months later, as Bai Xiaochun spent seven or eight to eight on the plants and trees that he had exchanged for refining the pills, he had refined three bottles of Purple Qi Soul Pill, each of which was ten.
Especially one of them is not much the same color as the lilac of other pills. It is dark purple, with no strong aroma of medicine, and it is restrained and does not disperse.
When this pill was refined, the elixir furnace in front of Bai Xiaochun was obviously vibrated differently than usual, and even the earth fire suddenly expanded.
At this moment, he held the deep purple elixir and placed it in front of him, and his eyes showed pride and excitement.
"Medium-grade!! I, Bai Xiaochun, finally refined another medium-grade spiritual medicine!"
"Medium-grade spiritual medicines are not common at auctions, but they are still a little worse to achieve a sensational effect... After all, this auction is once every few years, and there are many rare treasures." Bai Xiaochun thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, took out the turtle pattern pot, and began to refine the spirit.
Three times later, the silver light shone, and the spiritual medicine was no longer a medium-grade product, but a breakthrough in the best product and became... a high-grade product!
This kind of high-quality product is already amazing, with only more than 10% of the impurities.
Bai Xiaochun looked satisfied and looked at the high-quality purple Qi Shengling Pill in his hand. The color of this pill was almost black. Although the three spiritual patterns on it were dim, they were just as obvious. It made people see the extraordinaryness of this pill at a glance.
Looking at the pill in his hand, Bai Xiaochun suddenly felt that he had found another way to spread the name to the world. He laughed proudly, took out a knife, and drew a... beautiful little turtle on the pill.
"Master Turtle is out of the world again!" Bai Xiaochun stood up excitedly, with expectations in his eyes.
Holding the pill, Bai Xiaochun went down the mountain. When he returned an hour later, he was refreshed and proud. His mind was filled with his mind just now when Sun Chen saw him take out three bottles of purple Qi-raising spirit pills, and when he took out the high-quality spiritual medicine that had refined three times, the other party's jaw seemed to be about to fall off, stunned and shocked.
"I'll wait for the auction in a month." Bai Xiaochun looked at a jade plaque in his hand. This was the qualification card to participate in the auction. With this item, you can go to the auction.
During this period, the topics of the sect gradually mentioned the auction. Soon, the disciples from the Sanshan Mountains in the South Bank were preparing to try their luck at the auction, so the market at the foot of the mountain was more lively than before
"I heard from my family's brothers on the North Bank that the Yellow Spring Fire appeared in the first auction they held! It was a legendary thing, even if it was just a flame, it could be called a treasure and was bought by a disciple on the North Bank for a large sum of money."
"This time, there are many rare treasures for hundreds of cultivation families, especially the elixirs, which are even more amazing. I think it should be because the battle between the outer genius in the north and the south is about to begin!"
"It should be this reason. The battle between the geniuses of the outer sects on both sides of the north and the south is a grand event of my Lingxi Sect. It's a pity that my southern bank has always been inferior to the northern bank in terms of the top ten choices for many years! I wonder if the top ten choices of my southern bank this time can avenge my previous shame!"
In the following month, more and more discussions about the auction were discussed in the sect, and Bai Xiaochun also heard a lot, especially the battle between the geniuses of the outer sects on both sides of the north and south. He also heard about it, but he didn't take it seriously.
Soon a month passed, and early in the morning of that day, Bai Xiaochun was meditating. Suddenly, his eyes opened, his right hand had a first-shaped storage bag, and a glowing jade slip appeared in his hand.
"The auction is about to begin." He showed expectations in his eyes, and quickly walked out of the yard and ran down the mountain. Along the way, he saw many figures of outer disciples, and there were long rainbows whistling by in the sky.
Bai Xiaochun slapped his forehead and remembered that he could fly, so he quickly pinched his fingers, and the golden crow sword appeared. He stepped on the golden crow. He turned into a golden light, soared into the sky, and quickly left.
Soon he arrived at the market. He held his head up, raised his little head, and walked into the auction pavilion.
The auction pavilion is extremely large, with thousands of seats in the hall, and even a large area behind it. Although there are no seats, it is crowded. As for Bai Xiaochun, he was immediately picked up by Sun Chen who was waiting there as soon as he came in. He walked from another road to the second floor. After entering a separate room, Sun Chen left.
The room is not big, and opposite is hollow, there is a veranda, and the hall is below, where you can clearly see the auction table.
This is the first time Bai Xiaochun has encountered such a lively scene. He is not like other foundation-building monks who don’t show up in the room, but half of his body is exposed on the balcony, for fear that no one will recognize him and keep coughing.
Gradually, some people in the crowd below saw Bai Xiaochun, and they all looked strange and looked back.
But there were too many people here. Even if Bai Xiaochun went to cough, he couldn't spread too far. He saw Hou Xiaomei, Zhou Xinqi and others from afar, but the distance was too far and he didn't pay attention to his place.
Bai Xiaochun shouted for a long time, but finally got depressed and lost interest. After all, half of his body was stretched out, which was quite tired... Especially when he was worried that if he accidentally fell down... I am afraid that countless people on the South Bank would know about it before the next day.
It was not long, and more and more people came here. Half an hour later, a crisp sound of the tripod echoed, and the surroundings gradually became quiet. At this moment, countless eyes were all concentrated on the auction table.
A middle-aged man in a blue shirt walked out with a smile and stood there clasped his fists around him.
"In the Qiansong, I believe many fellow Taoists know Qian. This time, Qian is hosted by the auction. The rules are still the same, and those with the highest price will be given." He said simple, and after saying that, he raised his right hand and waved it, and immediately a light gate appeared on the auction table.
A young woman walked out, holding a tray in her hand, with an irregular stone composed of countless iron blocks on it.
A flash of light reflected a colorful light. Thousands of people around looked around, their eyes lit up, and some even showed surprises.
Bai Xiaochun also looked carefully and didn't recognize what it was, but looking at the expressions of those surprised people, it seemed to be a very amazing thing.
"The first auction item is gold and iron, with a low price of 300 spirit stones, each time it is offered at no less than fifty spirits!" Qian Song spoke slightly, and a foundation-building cultivation pushed his voice to spread all over the world.
"Three hundred and fifty spirit stones!" Soon, someone spoke.
"Four hundred!" Almost at the same time as the first price appeared, someone immediately bid for it, and soon shouted the price to seven hundred spirit stones, and was bought by an inner disciple of Ziding Mountain.
Bai Xiaochun opened his eyes wide. He looked at the iron, unable to understand why this thing was worth seven hundred spirit stones. At the same time, he also found that after the auction began, it seemed that there was a formation here, which could make the people who offered the price wider his voice.
"Just a piece of broken iron." Bai Xiaochun sat a little sour and watched.
Soon, auction items were bought one after another, especially a green horn, which seemed to be thundered by thunder. It seemed that a faint arc-shaped electric light could be seen on it. This item was sold directly at the price of 8,000 spirit stones, which made Bai Xiaochun feel frightened.
Until the auction lasted half an hour, Qian Song's voice echoed.
"The auction now is a bottle of second-level spiritual medicine, purple Qi Liheng, with a total of ten pills, with infinite quality close to medium-grade quality, with impurities controlled within 81% of the price, with a low price of one hundred spirit stones, and a price of no less than ten spirits each time."
Hearing this, Bai Xiaochun was immediately energetic and quickly looked at it with his head and eyes, worried about gains and losses, wishing that everyone would offer a price.
But for some reason, there was a cold situation around. Bai Xiaochun felt a slap in his heart. After waiting for a while, someone offered a price.
"One Hundred and Ten Spirit Stones." The one who offered the price was an outer disciple, which was almost all his savings. After saying that, he looked around nervously.
But Bai Xiaochun was even more nervous. The cost of this bottle of Purple Qi Soul Pill is enough to be fifty spirit stones. If you sell it in the market, you can even sell it for 156.
At this moment, he was mournful and a little dumbfounded.
Fortunately, when Qian Song wanted to set the board, someone finally offered the price, and finally it was scattered and pushed the price to 180 spirits.
"One Hundred and Eighty Spirit Stones are not bad, twenty more than in the market." Bai Xiaochun then breathed a sigh of relief, wiped off the sweat from his forehead, and comforted himself. In fact, the price was already quite high, but compared with the precious things in front, there was inevitably some gap.
Soon Bai Xiaochun's second bottle of spiritual medicine was sold, and the price was slightly higher, with 200 spiritual stones, which surprised Bai Xiaochun.
Until his third bottle of spiritual medicine was also auctioned, the atmosphere of the Qi Condensing Disciple gradually increased, and the number of people who offered the price increased one after another. In the end, Bai Xiaochun was ecstatic to find that his second bottle of spiritual medicine actually sold 230 spirit stones.
"More than 700 spirit stones are worthy of being auctioned. Enough is enough. These spirit stones are enough for me to refine third-level spiritual medicine." Bai Xiaochun is a very easy person to satisfy. Although he was still depressed before, he didn't take it seriously. He was happy in the room, looking forward to the appearance of his high-quality spiritual medicine.
"If I count this way, my high-quality spiritual medicine should be able to sell... three hundred spirit stones?" Bai Xiaochun hesitated for a moment, not sure.
"Two hundred are fine!" He nodded.
Time passed, and after Bai Xiaochun's waiting, at noon, Qian Song at the auction table looked strange for the first time. Looking at the people around him, he coughed dryly.
"The auction items Qian will take out next are very interesting... It was a second-level spiritual medicine, which is also a purple Qi-raising spirit pill, but... it is a bit different."
