Li Zhirui did not ntion that he did not have many Spirit Stones left in his hands, after all, for him, earning Spirit Stones was relatively easy. By harvesting a batch of Spiritual dicine from his space and refining a few furnaces of Spirit Pills, he would soon have a lot of Spirit Stones.
As for Jiang Fengwu, aside from the Spirit Stones she had saved up previously, she only had the hard-earned fees from setting up Formations on behalf of her family, and scattered Contribution Values from completing family tasks. All totaled, this was only about one or two hundred thousand Spirit Stones.
Of course, the price of Chaoyang Crows was not considered expensive, and these hundred thousand Spirit Stones would be enough to acquire that nest of eggs. After all, no matter how much they might evolve in the future, they were currently only of third grade, and their bloodline had not yet been elevated.
"It won't take many Spirit Stones, don't worry."
Although Li Zhirui said this, Jiang Fengwu still took out a hundred thousand Spirit Stones and said, "I am Sheng's mother, it is only right that I contribute so Spirit Stones."
"Alright." Since she put it that way, what else could Li Zhirui say? He could only honestly accept the Spirit Stones.
Ti hurriedly passed, and before long, the day of the auction arrived.
Li Zhirui was not acting alone; he brought along five or six clan mbers to the auction. The family also needed to purchase so Spiritual Objects, and he could serve as a bodyguard as well.
"Is everyone here?"
The leading Elder nodded repeatedly, cautiously saying, "Everyone is here."
"Then let's go." Without further ado, Li Zhirui brought out the Spirit Boat and led the group towards Green Mountain State.
Perhaps it was Li Zhirui's presence that made the juniors behave very modestly. Fortunately, the distance between the two places was not far, and at full speed, it took only half an hour to reach the auction venue.
"Welco, Elder Li, to the Green Mountain Auction!" The attending cultivator at the entrance spotted Li Zhirui and his party imdiately and approached within three steps, eagerly saying, "An elegant room has been prepared for Elder upstairs; please follow ."
Although Li Zhirui had been rarely seen in recent years, maintaining a low profile in the outside world, his identity was no secret, and the middle and senior mbers of the nearby major comrce associations and powers all knew of his appearance.
"Hmm." Li Zhirui replied indifferently and then followed him into the auction house.
As for the long line that had already ford, the crowd was accustod to such scenes and dared not voice any complaints—why would they, when a Golden Core True Person was present and you were just a minor Qi Cultivation cultivator?
However, the juniors who were stepping out for the first ti, upon seeing this scene, revealed a look of longing and aspiration in their eyes, hoping that they too would one day be respected by others.
Once everyone had entered the elegant room, Li Zhirui suddenly spoke up, "I have sothing to attend to and will step out briefly; I'll be right back."
Then he turned to the guide cultivator and said, "Let's go."
"Alright!" Although the guide cultivator did not understand what Li Zhirui had in mind, his task was simply to obey, and he wisely refrained from asking in front of the others.
After closing the room door, he respectfully and softly asked, "May I inquire what orders Elder Li has for ?"
"I have so second and third-grade Water Refined Spirit Pills. I wonder if your establishnt is interested in purchasing them?"
"Deal!" Before Li Zhirui's words had even touched the ground, he hurriedly accepted the offer. Who didn't know Li Zhirui was an Alchemy Master, whether it was regarding the dicinal efficacy, pill toxicity, or other aspects, his third-order Spirit Pills were superior to others. Now that he had stumbled upon such an opportunity, how could he miss this excellent chance?
The two went to a secret chamber, where a comrce association mber of even higher status reached a transaction with Li Zhirui. He paid thirty bottles of second-order Spirit Pills and twenty bottles of Essence-Enhancing Pills, totaling a hundred and fifty thousand Spirit Stones.
After the transaction was completed, both parties were very satisfied.
"If Li intends to sell more Spirit Pills in the future, do not forget us. The comrce association will definitely offer you a very good price," said the person.
Before leaving, that person still wanted to continue trading with Li Zhirui, but Li Zhirui rely chuckled and humored him. The Li family had the Southern Edge Comrce Association, a top-level comrce association spanning two State Domains, as a trading partner; even if both associations offered the sa amount of Spirit Stones, or even if the Green Mountain Comrce Association offered more, the Li family wouldn't agree.
That was because, apart from Spirit Stones, the Southern Edge Comrce Association could bring the Li family even more resources, sothing the Green Mountain Comrce Association couldn't match!
As for the deals between the two families, they were well known by now, but the Li family was very cautious and had never been caught red-handed.
Shen Leishan and Xuanfa Pavilion still cared about their reputation and didn't want to act against the Li family without evidence.
After Li Zhirui returned to the private room, the clan mbers there were curious about what he had been up to, but they dared not ask outright, only glancing at him from ti to ti.
Dang dang dang—
Soon, a series of crisp bell sounds rang out, the auction house's doors closed, and then a middle-aged man walked onto the stage. After an introduction, the auction for the day began.
"The first auction item is a third-order Chi Yang Fire Pearl. I believe everyone is aware of the recent evil cultivator disaster. The Chi Yang Fire Pearl, being a supre Yang object, has a strong restraining effect on evil cultivators and also offers resistance against Heart Demons," said the auctioneer with an enthusiastic voice. "The starting bid is ten thousand Spirit Stones, with each incrent not less than five hundred Spirit Stones!"
Li Zhirui was unmoved by this, as what the auctioneer said was all true, but there was one problem—the effects were all rather weak, quite a la duck, which was why the price was so low.
Foundation Establishnt cultivators, on the other hand, were eagerly bidding, unaware that none of the private rooms had made a bid.
"Uncle Jiu, should we bid on this Spiritual Object?" the leading elder asked cautiously. In his view, it was a third-order Spiritual Object and so cheap, it would definitely be a bargain.
"Not necessary, this Spiritual Object isn't precious, just rare," which was why these lower-rank cultivators hadn't heard of it and were deceived by the auctioneer.
Before long, the Chi Yang Fire Pearl was sold at a high price of twenty-three thousand Spirit Stones.
The subsequent auction items also failed to pique Li Zhirui's interest, he thought to himself: No wonder the Green Mountain Comrce Association has no reputation, most of the Spiritual Objects they offer are all bark and no bite.
"The next auction item is sothing I'm sure everyone has heard of its legendary story..." the auctioneer roughly ntioned the few Foundation Establishnt cultivators who struck it lucky to add value to the Chaoyang Crow eggs, and then formally introduced, "Third-order Chaoyang Crow eggs, rich with the Three-legged Golden Crow Bloodline. As long as its bloodline is continuously enhanced, there will co a day when it evolves into a real Sun Divine Bird, a Three-legged Golden Crow!"
"This ti, we have six Chaoyang Crow eggs on auction, each with a starting bid of fifteen thousand, and each incrent no less than a thousand Spirit Stones!"
Li Zhirui did not imdiately join the bidding, as being too eager is not always good. If he were to bid in haste, others might develop other ideas.
