Liu Yu opened her eyes and made a rough count. At least five hundred monks were already sitting on the scene, and most of the seats were still vacant. Most of them were in the foundation building stage, and only a small part were in the Qi refining stage.
As for whether there are any Golden Core monks hiding among them, I don't know.
The Golden Core Stage cultivator deliberately hides it, and even if he uses his spiritual consciousness to scan it, he can't find it.
As the number of people increased, it was inevitable that some familiar monks would meet each other. They would greet each other with a few polite words, and the venue gradually became noisy.
"Dong-dong"
Two distant, loud bells rang in the venue, echoing in the huge, empty space, instantly overwhelming all sounds, and listening to them made people feel peaceful.
After the two bells rang, the venue suddenly became quiet, the chatter suddenly became quieter, and everyone knew that the auction had officially begun.
At some point, a skinny old man appeared on the red carpet platform in the center. He had piercing eyes and was wearing a large brocade suit with a white background and gold trim.
He looks ordinary, like an old man of seventy or eighty years of age, but his profound aura makes people dare not underestimate him, and his cultivation has reached the late stage of foundation building!
Liu Yu's heart shivered, and she realized that this auction house was indeed very powerful. The person who hosted the auction had advanced foundation building skills.
"Chi Yunxing? Hasn't this old guy not personally hosted an auction for decades?"
At this time, the person sitting next to Liu Yu also whispered a few times and recognized the identity of the skinny old man. This man seemed to have a good reputation.
“It is a great honor for our auction house to be able to attend this auction, fellow Taoists!”
"We have prepared various magic weapons, elixirs, exercises, and formations for this auction. There are more than one hundred kinds in total. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed."
"I, Chi Yunxing, am the vice president of the auction house. I will host this auction."
At this time, the light dimmed, and four beams of light focused on the red carpet platform. Chi Yunxing stood on the platform, turned around with his hands clasped in fists, and greeted the guests from all directions.
It didn't matter how hard he spoke, but it was clearly transmitted throughout the venue. It was obvious that he had used magic.
"Chi Laogui, stop talking nonsense and start quickly. We are not here to listen to your idle chatter!"
Among the many foundation-building monks present here, there are also people with advanced cultivation or profound backgrounds. They are not afraid of Chi Yunxing and immediately spoke impatiently.
In an era when becoming a god is a legend, and the Jindan Zhenren Yuanying Ancestor practices in seclusion and ignores external affairs, foundation-building monks are the actual managers of a force, and those with advanced cultivation are even representative figures of a force, such as the patriarch of a family.
, the leader of a faction.
Therefore, the words, deeds, and behavior are naturally very different from those during the Qi Refining period, and the auction house will not question the Foundation Establishment monks for a few words.
Of course, it would be different if you were a monk in the Qi Refining Stage.
At this time, the lights in the venue were turned on again. Chi Yunxing listened to the unreasonable remarks of some of the monks in the audience. He laughed and was not angry. He just said with a smile:
"Since some fellow Taoists are already impatient, I won't talk nonsense, but I will remind you of the rules of the auction as usual."
"First of all, all suppression and connection are prohibited, which will affect the normal bidding. Our auction house will have the right to hold those who violate the rules accountable."
"The quotation is based on the lower grade spiritual stones. If the spiritual stones are insufficient, you can also use other items to offset the price."
"This auction house has shares in the Yuanyang Sect. This time we specially invited a Jindan senior from the Yuanyang Sect to sit here. I hope all fellow Taoists will not make mistakes."
"Finally, in order to ensure the safety of all fellow Taoists, no one is allowed to leave the auction midway until the end of the auction."
"Fellow Taoists who do not want to participate in the auction can withdraw now."
Chi Yunxing's voice was loud, and he explained the rules of the auction in one breath. He waited for three or four seconds to see no one leaving the venue before speaking again:
"Since there is no need for fellow Taoist to withdraw, I declare that this once-in-a-decade auction has officially begun!"
"Here is the first auction item."
After he finished speaking, he clapped his hands gently, and immediately two maids with gorgeous looks and hot bodies walked out from the stairs behind him carrying a jade tray.
"The Foundation Building Pill is one of the Three Treasures of Foundation Building. It is an indispensable item for monks in the Qi Refining Stage to build a foundation. It can increase the success rate of foundation building by a full 30%."
"Don't talk nonsense. All Taoist friends understand the importance of this elixir. I don't need to explain it in detail."
"The starting price is three thousand spiritual stones, and each increase in price must not be less than fifty spiritual stones."
Chi Yunxing pointed at the jade bottle on the tray, and his angry voice spread throughout the venue.
"Three thousand one hundred spirit stones"
"Three thousand one hundred and fifty spiritual stones" "Three thousand four hundred spiritual stones"
The auction house threw out a killer weapon like the Foundation Establishment Pill at the very beginning, and instantly grasped the rhythm of the scene. Many monks made bids one after another, and the atmosphere was aroused.
Liu Yu moved her buttocks and sat upright, looking at the Foundation Establishment Pill on the tray, sighing in her heart for the auction house's generosity.
The late-stage Foundation Establishment monk presided over the auction of the Foundation Establishment Pill at the beginning, which shows that it is not the final treasure. This auction house has a much stronger foundation than the underground auction Liu Yu once participated in.
No wonder one is "underground" and the other can be open and aboveboard.
Although Geng Yuanzhang had promised Geng Yuanzhang and made an inner demon oath that if his great-grandson could cultivate to the point of perfecting Qi refining, he would give her a chance to build a foundation, but leaving aside the kid's pseudo-spiritual qualifications, there was little hope of reaching the point of perfecting Qi refining.
At this time, his own problems have not been solved. How can Xianxin and Lingshi care about other things? Liu Yu did not bid, and the old god sat on the chair and watched other monks bid.
"Three thousand nine hundred" "Three thousand nine hundred and fifty" "Four thousand spiritual stones"
As the price got higher and higher, there were fewer and fewer offers, and finally it was bought for 4,100 spiritual stones.
Some foundation-building "experts" in the eyes of juniors in the Qi refining stage are blushing and withdrawing from the offer. Even if they are unwilling to do anything about the lack of spiritual stones, they can only give up.
After the Foundation Establishment Pill was photographed, two maids walked down the stairs carrying trays, and soon two more beautiful maids walked out of the stairs and came up carrying different auction items, completing a seamless connection.
The Foundation Establishment Pill was sold at a satisfactory price. Chi Yunxing's smile was still light, and his emotions and anger were not shown. He was worthy of being a well-known late-stage Foundation Establishment monk who had lived for more than two hundred years. He then introduced the next auction item:
"A set of the second-level mid-level trap formation "Yimu Burial Formation". This formation was created by Tian Fengzi, a famous formation master. It is good at trapping enemies and defending. A monk in the middle stage of foundation building can't even think of breaking out of the trap after being trapped in it for seven days and nights."
"Fellow Taoists who want to enter the Hengduan Mountains to hunt monsters should not miss it. If you set up this formation and lure the monsters into it, both the hunting success rate and efficiency will be greatly improved. If the situation is not good, you can still use this formation to fight for it.
Precious retreat time.”
"The starting price is 1,300 spirit stones, and each increase in price must not be less than 50 spirit stones."
Chi Yunxing exaggerated the advantages of the auction items to raise prices, but never mentioned their shortcomings.
Throwing out the Foundation Establishment Pill to stir up the atmosphere, the subsequent auction items were relatively normal, mostly used by monks in the early and middle stages of Foundation Establishment.
Although Liu Yu was also tempted, he currently had limited spiritual stones, and what he needed most was a formation specialized in defense, so he was in no rush to take action.
