Spending 50 Heaven-defying Value on this Five Elents Qi Gathering Technique, Xin Lin was clueless about how it differed from the ordinary Qi-gathering Skills.
But right now, she didn’t have the ti to concern herself with these details.
At the table beside her, a crowd had already gathered.
It turned out that the Qi Stones brought by Bai You from Xuantian Sect had begun to be auctioned off.
Xin Lin didn’t know much about Qi Stones and just happened to want to see what they were all about.
Following the crowd, she made her way to the front of the table.
For cultivators, Qi Stones are like grains are to ordinary people, especially in a place like Purple Cloud City, where the density of Spiritual Energy is not rich. Having Qi Stones is like having food for cultivation.
The Martial Artists and Spirit Masters present all had considerable cultivation levels and were even more in need of Qi Stones.
So, when they saw over a hundred Qi Stones piled up like a small mountain on the table, a collective gasp went through the crowd.
Interdiate Qi Stones contained about fifty percent of Spiritual Energy.
This fifty percent was very tempting even for those in the Xuan Transformation Realm and at the Spirit Master Level.
However, Xin Lin only glanced a few tis at the so-called Qi Stones and, sure enough, they looked similar in quality to the ten Qi Stones she had obtained from Long Qingchen previously; they were virtually identical.
It seed likely that Long Qingchen’s Qi Stones ca from the Xuantian Sect.
In others’ eyes, these enticing Qi Stones were almost insignificant to Xin Lin.
Compared to the lotus-shaped Fire Spirit that ca from the Overlord Egg, the Spiritual Energy within these Qi Stones was quite impure, with less than half of it truly absorbable if taken into one’s body.
In other words, these fifty percent Qi Stones might not even match the effectiveness of a single Qi Stone that Xin Lin had.
"Here are one hundred Interdiate Qi Stones, which I will sell in ten batches. The starting bid for each batch is 500 gold coins," Bai You declared with a face full of pride.
A single stone was worth fifty gold coins, equivalent to five thousand silver coins, and that was just the starting bid.
Xin Lin secretly clicked her tongue in amazent.
"Of course, besides gold, bartering is also accepted. Any Spiritual Treasure above the Five Shining level, Seventh-grade Techniques, or any Cultivation Technique above Upper Dark-grade can be exchanged," Bai You said, with a hint of grinding teeth when ntioning Spiritual Treasures.
Her horsetail whisk had been destroyed by that damn egg of Xin Lin.
She was forced to look for a new Spiritual Artifact.
Bai You’s auction price was clearly not low.
Yet there were still many interested bidders.
"The first batch of Interdiate Qi Stones, starting at 500 gold coins."
Sikong Ran took out a bag of Qi Stones and presented one to Jiang Qing for inspection.
Jiang Qing nodded; the Qi Stone’s quality was not an issue.
"550 gold coins, 580 gold coins... 600 gold coins..."
The price rose steadily.
Xin Lin sighed to herself.
Having a mine at ho is wonderful in this day and age; no wonder Sikong Ran, the Phoenix Man, would have a change of heart. Even she was almost ’falling in love’ with the wealthy Bai You.
As the price of the Qi Stones climbed, Xin Lin looked at the bag of Qi Stones and was quite displeased with their extortionate profit.
Xin Lin thought of the freshly acquired Five Elents Qi Gathering Technique.
The Qi-gathering Technique could enhance the concentration of Spiritual Energy in the Qi Stones, she wondered what the effect would be if applied to the remaining few stones.
Rather than doing nothing and watching Bai You show off, she preferred to try and produce a few Qi Stones with a higher purity.
A thought struck Xin Lin, and she silently recited the mnemonic of the Five Elents Qi Gathering Technique in her mind.
But to her surprise, the few Qi Stones she had ’borrowed’ did not change at all.
