Although I have a pretty good relationship with these two Senior Sisters, they both looked down on my husband the mont we entered the auction house! Hmph, I’ll let you two brats experience so setbacks!
Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao’Er saw the expressions of her two disciples and couldn’t help but laugh softly. "Look at your faces. You look as if you’ve lost your souls!"
Qu Qingfeng sighed, "Master, the price of this Turtle-Poria Elixir is too outrageous!"
Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao’Er shook her head slightly. "This kind of elixir that can increase lifespan is very precious and much rarer than ordinary elixirs! Actually, the auction price isn’t too high. If this were an auction in the Central Immortal City of the Central Divine Dynasty, an elixir that can increase lifespan by two hundred years could easily fetch a higher price. It might even sell for thousands of Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jade per pill!"
Qu Qingfeng frowned. "Isn’t that an exaggeration? Thousands of Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jade per elixir? Doesn’t that an ten Turtle-Poria Elixirs could sell for tens of thousands of Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jade?"
Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao’Er adopted a serious expression.
"Do you know why the Ten Thousand Peaks Immortal Sect, the second Great Immortal Sect of the Central Divine Dynasty, could rise within a few thousand years to even surpass many ancient Immortal Sects that have been developing for over a hundred thousand years?
"It’s because their Immortal Sect produced an Immortal Master Wu, who could refine Longevity Immortal Pills that extend lifespan by five hundred years!
"Relying solely on the annual production of those five hundred Longevity Immortal Pills, the Ten Thousand Peaks Immortal Sect has obtained countless resources.
"There are often rumors circulating outside, claiming one Longevity Immortal Pill can sell for twenty thousand Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jade. But the truth is, even if you possess twenty thousand Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jade, you might not always be able to buy one! After all, the Ten Thousand Peaks Immortal Sect dictates what resources the Longevity Immortal Pills are exchanged for!
"For instance, when Senior Brother Jue Ying went to purchase Longevity Immortal Pills, he happened to arrive when the Ten Thousand Peaks Immortal Sect wanted to exchange them for Celestial Demon Bones, so he successfully acquired a few.
"In the past thousand years or so, the Ten Thousand Peaks Immortal Sect has announced that their Longevity Immortal Pills can only be exchanged for Immortal Artifacts!
"Those are Immortal Artifacts... Yet, even with such harsh conditions, many Middle-High Grade Earth Immortals nearing the end of their lifespan still try all ans to obtain Immortal Artifacts to make the exchange.
"It’s said that just by relying on these Longevity Immortal Pills, the Ten Thousand Peaks Immortal Sect has acquired a full five hundred Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts in this past millennium, along with so First-Grade Immortal Artifacts!"
"Immortal Artifacts for exchange?" Qu Lingfeng’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Qu Qingling gasped, her attention clearly not on the Longevity Immortal Pills.
"Master, does the Ten Thousand Peaks Immortal Sect really own five hundred Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts? My heavens, even a typical Immortal Sect can use just one Immortal Artifact to guard their sect, which can greatly enhance the combat strength of their powerful mbers! Five hundred Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts... if controlled by a Middle-High Grade Earth Immortal, how powerful would that be?"
Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao’Er smiled.
"I don’t know how powerful it would be if five hundred Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts were controlled by one Middle-High Grade Earth Immortal, but I do know that even the Profound Yin Demon Sect, which is an enemy to nurous Immortal Sects, wouldn’t dare to easily confront the Ten Thousand Peaks Immortal Sect!
"So, it’s quite normal for a longevity-enhancing Turtle-Poria Elixir like this to make the Initial Tier and First-Grade Earth Immortals at this auction bid so frantically!"
Qu Qingfeng sighed, "Then we’ve saved all this Profound Truth Jade for nothing!" She looked extrely frustrated.
At this mont, Lii Xiaolan, who was beside her, couldn’t help but giggle.
Qu Qingfeng looked at Lii Xiaolan with so resentnt. "Junior Sister Lan, you’re actually laughing at your Senior Sister? Haven’t I always treated you well? Shouldn’t you help out with so Profound Truth Jade now?"
Lii Xiaolan waved her hands repeatedly. "Senior Sister, I truly don’t an to gloat, nor am I laughing at you. Really, I’m not laughing at you in the slightest! Truly, not at all, definitely not, absolutely not!"
Qu Qingfeng: ...
Qu Qingling said helplessly, "If you didn’t repeat so many tis that you weren’t laughing at us, I might have believed you! Hey, wait, Junior Sister Lan, you’re not usually like this!"
HMPH HMPH HMPH! Of course, I’m gloating! Who asked you two to be so cold to my husband earlier?
Lii Xiaolan’s eyes darted around.
"Senior Sister, you know, I’ve only been Grade-Entering for a little over a year. I’ve always stayed by Master’s side learning alchemy and have never undertaken any special missions outside the sect. So, my usual inco is just the allowance for a True Disciple. I only have a few dozen Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jade on . If you want them, you can take them all!"
My Young Lady is truly good to , genuinely kind-hearted, Lin Xuankong thought, standing to the side with a smile. She just can’t bear to see suffer any injustice outside. Back when I was weak and bullied by that so-called Boss Zhang Wu of the Black Tiger Gang, my Young Lady wanted to rush over and kill them!
As they were talking, the second round of the auction finally ended.
The Immortal from the Liuyun Immortal Sect, Liuyun Immortal, eventually went all out, directly raising the bid to eight thousand Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jade. This made Lin Xuankong extrely delighted. Liuyun Immortal then happily took the ten Dharma-tier Turtle-Poria Elixirs into his possession. Moreover, Liuyun Immortal, having obtained such elixirs, was evidently very proud. After a round of showing off to Thousand Hills Immortal, he gracefully departed through the secret passage of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect.
Next, the third round of the auction proceeded without much suspense.
Thousand Hills Immortal, who had been "defeated" by the wealthy big spender Liuyun Immortal, bid seven thousand five hundred Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jade to secure ten Dharma-tier Turtle-Poria Elixirs.
Thus, Thousand Hills Immortal also left the auction house, equally delighted.
The other Cultivators present were, one by one, filled with envy and high expectations.
After all, in their view, after the fierce competition of the first three rounds where the wealthy big spenders had paid extrely high prices to secure the elixirs, the prices might drop a little for the subsequent rounds.
However, Lin Xuankong was once again greatly surprised. The bidding in the subsequent rounds beca even fiercer. Seeing the number of Dharma-tier Turtle-Poria Elixirs steadily decreasing, the remaining Cultivators not only didn’t lower their prices but instead began to team up. So ford groups of more than a dozen Tier Nine Cultivators, others consisted of twenty or thirty Tier Nine Cultivators, and so groups even included a few Initial Tier Earth Immortals. The most outrageous case was a slightly less wealthy First-Grade Earth Immortal, who rallied a group of a full hundred Cultivators on the spot to bid together!
As a result, in the fourth, fifth, and sixth rounds of bidding, the price for a set of ten Dharma-tier Turtle-Poria Elixirs never fell below nine thousand Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jade for any group!
Moreover, every ti a group won the bid, the Cultivators who secured the ten Dharma-tier Turtle-Poria Elixirs were so excited they almost jumped up on the spot.
This made Lin Xuankong, who hailed from the remote Great Xia Dynasty, almost suspect that the Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jade they were bidding with wasn’t the incredibly precious kind, but rather worthless pieces of stone they’d picked up from the roadside!
Lin Xuankong almost felt like he was in a dream.
By the seventh round of bidding, the price reached its absolute peak because the number of Dharma-tier Turtle-Poria Elixirs was rapidly dwindling!
Finally, the First-Grade Earth Immortal who had gathered one hundred Cultivators to pool their funds shouted a price of twelve thousand Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jade, only then managing to defeat a united team of thirty Cultivators!
However, what slightly annoyed Lin Xuankong was that when the eighth round of bidding began, Flaming Blade Duan River, who had been silent for a long while, freaking spoke up again.
"I, Flaming Blade Duan River, bid one thousand two hundred Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jade! Fellow Daoists, surely no one wishes to compete with ?"
When Duan River’s voice sounded, the previously fervent auction atmosphere suddenly grew cold.
