After speaking, the enchanting woman on stage sowhat nervously looked towards the various seats.
As expected, just as she predicted, the entire venue was silent, with no one bidding for a long ti.
"Is it going to remain unsold..."
The female auctioneer was sowhat helpless.
These large Spirit Testing Stones are generally only purchased by sect forces, and they are obviously not popular in Guangyuan Town, where loose cultivators gather.
But she did not have high hopes of auctioning off this item either.
Just as she was about to announce that it remained unsold, Lin Chen, from the audience, placed a bid.
"Two hundred Spirit Stones."
Seeing soone actually bid, the auctioneer imdiately felt a surge of joy inside.
"Fellow Daoist number 92 bids two hundred Spirit Stones, any higher bids?" The female auctioneer’s face was full of delight.
Not surprisingly, Lin Chen smoothly bought the Spirit Testing Stone for two hundred Spirit Stones.
Lin Chen’s bid attracted quite a bit of attention.
Yet, upon seeing his cultivation at the Qi Refining Peak, those people averted their gaze.
"This person is likely from so cultivation family or sect," the cultivators in the venue thought to themselves.
Lin Chen sat quietly in his seat.
He did not mind the attention, as he only intended to use this identity once.
Next ti he cos, he will probably be a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator.
This giant Spirit Testing Stone is equivalent to three hundred ordinary Spirit Testing Stones, which is enough for a while after being brought back to Blue Star, saving Lin Chen the trouble of purchasing them himself.
The auction proceeded normally.
After a few magical treasures and pills were auctioned, the female auctioneer pulled out another large stone.
"Fellow Daoists, this is a three-thousand-pound piece of Red Copper Ore, which can be used by a skilled Artifact Refiner to create over a hundred middle-grade magical artifacts."
"Starting bid for this Red Copper Ore is five hundred Spirit Stones..."
After saying this, the female auctioneer nervously looked in Lin Chen’s direction.
As expected, apart from Lin Chen, no one in the venue showed interest in the ore.
Compared to raw ores, loose cultivators prefer to buy ready-made magical artifacts.
Finally, Lin Chen bought it for five hundred Spirit Stones.
Next, dozens of items were auctioned off in succession in the venue.
Lin Chen also bid several tis, acquiring quite a few common resources.
"Tsk tsk, this auction wasn’t a pointless trip!"
"A thousand spiritual dicines, thousands of pounds of ore, plus many materials useful for Blue Star..."
Lin Chen thought silently, with a bit of doubt in his heart.
"I’ve spent over two thousand Spirit Stones... I am probably being watched by now."
Lin Chen furrowed his brow slightly, feeling the gaze on him growing more nurous.
"However, under the Core Formation Stage, I suppose no one can really threaten ..."
"Once I’ve acquired the dicinal materials for two Foundation Establishnt Pills, I’ll make my escape."
Lin Chen thought to himself silently.
Not long after, the auction drew to a close.
The female auctioneer didn’t hold back any longer, speaking temptingly, "Among those who’ve co to today’s auction, many are cultivators at the late Qi Refining stage, or even at the Qi Refining Peak..."
"I’m sure what everyone desires the most is Foundation Establishnt!"
After saying this, the female auctioneer took out a delicate wooden box.
The wooden box opened slowly, revealing a thumb-sized, glossy pill to the audience.
"Hiss... It’s a Foundation Establishnt Pill!"
"There is actually a Foundation Establishnt Pill at this auction!"
For a mont, the entire venue was in an uproar. Many cultivators at the late Qi Refining stage had red eyes upon seeing the Foundation Establishnt Pill.
Even Lin Chen was sowhat surprised.
"Weren’t they supposed to auction the dicinal materials for a Foundation Establishnt Pill... How co there’s also a finished Foundation Establishnt Pill?"
He glanced at the surrounding cultivators, then dismissed the idea of contending for the Foundation Establishnt Pill.
"I can’t buy this Foundation Establishnt Pill. All these hundreds of cultivators are eyeing it covetously. If I were to buy it and they all pounced on together... I’m not confident I could kill them all..."
Lin Chen shook his head slightly, deciding he only sought to purchase two sets of dicinal materials for the Foundation Establishnt Pill.
On the stage, the female auctioneer first put away the Foundation Establishnt Pill.
"Everyone, there is only one Foundation Establishnt Pill, but there are six sets of materials for concocting Foundation Establishnt Pills, each including one Illusion Heart Grass, one Celestial Spirit Fruit..."
"Each set of materials starts at 200 Spirit Stones."
As the female auctioneer’s voice fell, the loose cultivators below were raring to try.
However, compared to the Foundation Establishnt Pill, the price of the materials was relatively lower.
After all, concocting a Foundation Establishnt Pill requires finding a Second Tier alchemist, and the success rate is often only twenty to thirty percent.
Compared to that, directly purchasing the Foundation Establishnt Pill is much more convenient.
As a result, although many cultivators engaged in the bidding, their strength was often limited.
The truly powerful, the Qi Refining Peak cultivators, were not in a hurry to bid. Instead, they held onto their Spirit Stones, prepared to compete for the final Foundation Establishnt Pill.
Thus, Lin Chen managed to seize an opportunity.
He spent about a thousand Spirit Stones to buy three sets of Foundation Establishnt Pill materials.
After purchasing them, Lin Chen did not stay in his seat for even a second longer.
He headed straight for the auction backstage.
"Fellow Daoist, here are your auction items..."
Lin Chen took the storage bag, ensuring the items were correct, then stowed away all kinds of resources.
Among them were the three sets of Foundation Establishnt Pill materials.
After paying the Spirit Stones, Lin Chen didn’t hesitate at all and left the auction.
"Right now, nearly all the cultivators have their attention drawn to the Foundation Establishnt Pill..."
"Escaping at this mont is just right!"
Lin Chen was not greedy. After leaving the auction, he quickly used sword control to get far away from Guangyuan Town.
...
Simultaneously, the auction ended.
A cultivator at Qi Refining Perfection bought the Foundation Establishnt Pill for eighteen hundred Spirit Stones.
After obtaining the Foundation Establishnt Pill, he dared not linger and swiftly fled the venue.
A dozen or more Qi Refining Peak cultivators kept a close eye on him and followed closely.
In a private room at the auction, an elder at the Foundation Establishnt Stage had a complex expression on his face.
"Humph, a re Qi Refining cultivator dares to compete? This Foundation Establishnt Pill is crucial for the family. You all follow this old man and catch him quickly..."
"Yes, Patriarch!" replied several late Qi Refining cultivators, their eyes filled with greed.
...
On the other side, Lin Chen used Sword Flight, reaching an area dozens of miles outside Guangyuan Town.
Along the way, he used his Divine Sense to confirm no one was following him, preparing to revert to his original appearance.
Just then, from not far away, ca sounds of chaotic battle and clashes of spells.
Lin Chen was taken aback, and under his Divine Sense, saw a dozen or so cultivators in a tangle, with more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground.
Those both on the ground and participating in the battle were at least at the late Qi Refining stage in cultivation.
"These people... Are they the Qi Refining cultivators from the auction?"
Lin Chen felt it was truly bad luck.
"Damn it, I’ve flown dozens of miles... and still ran into them?"
He stepped back cautiously, wanting to distance himself from this ss to avoid getting caught up in it.
The skirmish not far off didn’t last long.
The final victors were an old man at the Foundation Establishnt Stage, along with a few family Qi Refining cultivators beside him.
The old man kept searching through the corpses, quickly acquiring around twenty storage bags.
He took out a small palm-sized wooden box, opened it, and inside was none other than that Foundation Establishnt Pill.
"Since ancient tis, treasures go to those who are capable!"
"With this Foundation Establishnt Pill, the family can add another Foundation Establishnt Cultivator!"
Besides the Foundation Establishnt Pill, there were also several sets of Foundation Establishnt Pill materials, and many other treasures from the auction.
From a distance, Lin Chen watched this scene unfold.
After a long mont of silence, he quietly pulled out a set of black battle armor and wore it.
"This ti, I’m going for it!"
"Celestial Demon Battle Armor... Integrate!"
