The auction begins with a highlight taking the stage!

The appearance of Spirit Nesting Rice instantly ignited the atmosphere on-site.

"Fifty pounds of Tier Two Middle-Grade Spirit Nesting Rice, starting bid at five thousand spirit stones!"

"Each bid increment must not be less than one hundred spirit stones."

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking.

The cultivators on-site immediately began bidding.

"I bid five thousand five hundred spirit stones!"

"..."

"I bid six thousand five hundred spirit stones!"

"Seven thousand!"

"Seven thousand two hundred!"

"Eight thousand!"

This type of spirit rice, which can significantly enhance Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation, even in the quantity of fifty pounds, is highly sought after by various groups.

Soon, as scarcity adds value, the bids for Spirit Nesting Rice surged to eight thousand.

"Eight thousand once!"

"Eight thousand twice!"

"Eight thousand three times!"

"Sold! Congratulations to this Fellow Daoist!"

...

The fifty pounds of Spirit Nesting Rice was immediately taken by an elderly man in green robes at Mid-stage Foundation Establishment.

Next, the second auction item was brought up.

The middle-aged auctioneer showed a smile, gently unveiling a red cloth to reveal a chicken egg-sized crimson Demon Pill. He loudly introduced:

"Tier Two early-stage demon beast, Flame Feathered Eagle's Demon Pill, has a wide range of applications, a rare find."

"Starting bid at four thousand spirit stones, each bid increment must not be less than one hundred spirit stones!"

Upon seeing the Demon Pill appear, Qin Ming's gaze lit up.

The bidding commenced below.

Many Foundation Establishment cultivators were determined to acquire this item.

"I bid five thousand spirit stones!"

"Six thousand spirit stones!"

"Six thousand five hundred!"

...

"Seven thousand five hundred spirit stones!"

A cold voice emerged from the box next to Qin Ming's.

The attendees looked toward the sound and began softly discussing:

"I just saw that the person inside is Bai Yulin from the Bai Family of Yiling Mountain."

"Since the Bai Family's ancestor broke through to late-stage Foundation Establishment a few years ago, Bai Family's status in Wei Country's cultivation realm has risen dramatically."

"Bai Family has three outstanding talents, Bai Yulin is only forty-five years old and already at mid-stage Foundation Establishment."

"Rumor has it that he is preparing to advance to late-stage Foundation Establishment."

"Bai Yulin is a petty person, never forgetting a grudge, better not to offend him."

The middle-aged auctioneer, noticing no further bids, promptly announced:

"Any more bids?"

"Seven thousand five once!"

"Seven thousand five twice!"

As everyone believed this Tier Two fire attribute Demon Pill would certainly fall into Bai Yulin's hands.

A faint voice rang out.

"Eight thousand spirit stones."

Wow～

The cultivators below were in an uproar, not expecting anyone to dare bid against this Evil Star.

The one bidding was Mun Yuanshan from the Mun Family of Qilian Mountain, comparable in overall strength to the Bai Family.

Meanwhile.

Mun Yuanshan sensed a probing Divine Thought from the adjacent box.

Unmoved, he released a Divine Thought matching that of a mid-stage Foundation Establishment.

The two Divine Thoughts clashed in the air, colliding with each other.

Qin Ming's box happened to be sandwiched between the two, and he was forced to release his own Divine Thought. As soon as his powerful Divine Thought was unleashed, it blocked the other two, preventing them from advancing further.

"Eight thousand eight!" The cold voice next door spoke again.

Mun Yuanshan remained calm and indifferent as he bid: "Nine thousand!"

At that moment, Bai Yulin and Mun Yuanshan realized the person in the middle box was not to be underestimated and cautiously withdrew their Divine Thoughts.

"So that's who it is, turns out it's Fellow Daoist Qin from Wangyue Island. Given the circumstances, I'll yield to Fellow Daoist Qin and won't compete with Fellow Daoist Mun for this Demon Pill," Bai Yulin said lightly, though it was clear he wasn't too pleased.

Mun Yuanshan also responded politely, greeting Qin Ming.

Qin Ming did not reply, although he was interested in this Demon Pill, he still restrained himself.

"Nine thousand spirit stones once,"

"Nine thousand spirit stones twice!"

"Nine thousand spirit stones thrice!"

"Sold, congratulations to the Fellow Daoist upstairs."

The middle-aged auctioneer secretly wiped off his sweat!

He thought once Bai Yulin bid, no one else would dare to follow.

Afterward.

The third auction item was brought up.

A piece of Spirit Wood, brown on the outside and blood-red inside, was displayed before everyone.

The middle-aged cultivator introduced, "This Tier Two Top-Grade Spirit Plant, the Dragon Blood Divine Wood, is an invaluable treasure for crafting Spiritual Artifacts and refining special pills."

"Starting bid: six thousand Spirit Stones!"

"Each increment must not be less than five hundred Spirit Stones."

With this item out, the auction scene became even more heated.

"I bid ten thousand Spirit Stones!"

"???"

"!!!"

"Who bids like that?"

The cultivators present started cursing and complaining.

They then turned to look at the cultivator who had just placed the bid.

"Oh, it's Master Fang Ye, no wonder."

"Then that's fine, Master Fang likely has his eyes on this top-grade refining material."

Qin Ming was also very tempted by the Dragon Blood Divine Wood, not expecting the items he needed to come up one after another, taking him by surprise.

According to the Spirit Plant Book, the growing environment requirements for the Dragon Blood Divine Wood are very demanding.

It's a mystical spirit plant tainted by the blood of a Flood Dragon.

It can only be found in a few specific areas in the Cultivation Realm, one or two trees at most. A mature Dragon Blood Divine Tree bears a fruit containing immense Qi Blood Power, called the Dragon Blood Divine Fruit.

Unfortunately, this fruit bears once every hundred years, and coupled with the rarity of the Divine Wood, it's seldom seen in the Cultivation Realm.

He released his Divine Thought to scan the piece of Dragon Blood Divine Wood and discovered roots still attached...

Qin Ming was immediately delighted and was about to bid when he heard Bai Yulin from next door start bidding too.

"Twelve thousand Spirit Stones!"

Qin Ming, unperturbed, followed suit with his bid, "Thirteen thousand!"

Master Fang Ye's expression changed, continuing to raise the bid, "Fifteen thousand."

"Sixteen thousand." At this time, another Foundation Establishment cultivator joined the bidding.

The cultivators were surprised to see it's the green-robed elder who initially bid on the Spirit Nesting Rice.

"Eighteen thousand." Bai Yulin seemed determined to obtain this wood.

"Twenty thousand!" Master Fang Ye said calmly.

Next door, Mun Yuanshan didn't hesitate and followed with a bid, "Twenty-two thousand."

"Twenty-five thousand." The green-robed elder looked unfazed.

As the price reached this level, the cultivators present started clicking their tongues secretly.

If it were the Dragon Blood Divine Fruit, it'd be worth this price, but for just the Divine Wood, it seemed a bit overpriced.

Though Qin Ming wanted this item, contending with these cultivation family members seemed too ostentatious.

The Divine Wood was good, but competing with these family scions wasn't a wise move; with his Entries, what Spirit Plant couldn't he grow?

Thus, he was reluctantly giving up on bidding.

"Twenty-eight thousand." Bai Yulin gritted his teeth as he squeezed out the bid.

By then, both Master Fang Ye and the green-robed elder fell silent, withdrawing from the bid.

"Thirty thousand."

Mun Yuanshan's voice was as calm as an ancient well.

"Fellow Daoist Mun, I just let you have one auction item, but raising the bid like this seems excessive, doesn't it?" Bai Yulin's voice came through faintly.

Mun Yuanshan was indifferent, replying, "There's no need for Fellow Daoist Bai to be humble, feel free to bid."

Bai Yulin's face turned very unpleasant upon hearing that, gritting his teeth. Though he coveted the Dragon Blood Divine Wood, the price had already far exceeded his expectations.

"Then congratulations to Fellow Daoist Mun." Bai Yulin said coldly before falling silent.

The middle-aged auctioneer, excited, immediately announced:

"Thirty thousand Spirit Stones once!"

"Thirty thousand Spirit Stones twice!"

"Thirty thousand Spirit Stones thrice!"

"Sold! Congratulations again, Fellow Daoist!"

Having consecutively purchased two treasures, the cultivators present started looking towards Mun Yuanshan's booth.

"Truly magnanimous, isn't it?"

"Who's in that booth, seriously?"

All at once, the cultivators below began guessing.

Next up.

The auction house continued fervently.

Various rare Magical Artifacts, pills, spiritual materials, and Cultivation Techniques were continually put on auction.

More than half a day passed.

Dozens of rare treasures were collected by various forces.

After bidding on those two items, Mun Yuanshan didn't participate in any more bids.

As time went by.

Another item was brought up.

The middle-aged auctioneer lifted a red cloth, revealing an exquisite emerald-green jade bottle on the tray.

He then began to introduce:

"This jade bottle contains the Essence Blood of a Tier Two Early-stage Demon Beast, the Green Blooded Suanni!"

"There's no need for me to explain more about this, as I'm sure everyone is well aware."

"Starting bid: eight thousand Spirit Stones!"

Qin Ming's eyes lit up; the High-Tier Demon Beast Essence Blood he had been seeking was finally here!
