Chapter 850: Surprises Galore
“Vajra Bodhi... What kind of spirit plant is this? I’ve never heard of it.”
“According to Friend Lu, this spirit fruit related to the Buddhist Gate, once consumed, can greatly strengthen the flesh body, bolster qi and blood, and even improve the cultivation speed of Buddhist cultivation techniques and divine skills!”
“There actually exists such a rare spirit fruit!”
After hearing Lu Xuan’s brief introduction, the nearly thirty Jindan Cultivators present all became curious.
High-rank spirit fruits are already rare in the cultivation world, and something as powerful as the Vajra Bodhi is even more so, akin to phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.
“I bid thirty thousand Spirit Stones!”
...
Liang Yong declared directly.
“Thirty-five thousand!”
“Thirty-eight thousand!”
Soon, the price of the Vajra Bodhi was bid up to nearly fifty thousand.
Lu Xuan looked at the many Golden Core Real People competing fiercely below, his face carrying a hint of amusement.
Although the Vajra Bodhi could enhance the flesh body, its effects were limited for him.
He had refined the Seventh Grade Glazed Red Phoenix Bone, the Sixth Grade Five Viscera Cultivation Temple, swallowed the Sixth Grade Tai Sui’s Meat, and had previously grown the Jade Kirin Fruit with similar effects as snacks; his flesh body was no less superior to most Sixth Grade Magical Instruments.
Although the Fifth Rank Vajra Bodhi was rare, it was but ordinary goods in his eyes.
“Sixty thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones.”
Zhang Jiuzong stated calmly, with an indifferent expression.
“Sixty-two thousand.”
Qi Wuheng called out with a smile.
In the end, it was just those two and another Golden Core Intermediate Cultivator who continued to bid.
“Sixty-five thousand!”
Zhang Jiuzong said with determination, revealing a resolve that he must obtain it.
Lu Xuan scanned around, counted backward from three, and seeing that no one else was bidding, he lightly hammered down with a small gavel.
“Sixty-five thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones, sold!”
“Next up, the second treasure to be auctioned is a Fifth-grade Talisman.”
With a flash of spiritual energy in his hand, a silver-white talisman quietly appeared.
On the surface of the talisman, countless thunder strikes as thin as hairs moved slowly like fish. When one’s gaze fell upon it, the speed of the thunder strikes suddenly accelerated, as if they would disappear from everyone’s sight at any moment. RАNốbЁ????
“A Fifth Grade Thunder Extreme Escape Talisman, rumored to be crafted from a significant amount of Outer Space Evil Thunder. Once spiritual energy activates it, it can deploy the Thunder Escape Divine Ability, allowing the bearer to flee thousands of miles in the blink of an eye.”
“Eighty-five thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones.”
Qi Wuheng hesitated before raising the bid again.
A flash of helplessness crossed Ye Xuanyin’s eyes, and she had no choice but to give up.
As a Loose Cultivator, she couldn’t match Qi Wuheng and the others in strength, background, or financial resources and had to set her sights on the treasures to come.
“Eighty-eight thousand.”
Ding Qingwen made his bid casually, ready to see it through to the end.
“I give up, the Thunder Extreme Escape Talisman goes to Fellow Ding,” declared Qi Wuheng with a smile.
Lu Xuan, seeing the two treasures he had presented, was intensely curious about the later stages of the auction. There was no need to clash heads and spill blood at this moment.
“Congratulations, Fellow Ding,” Lu Xuan said with a smile to Ding Qingwen from the Sea Tower Commerce Association.
“Next, the third treasure item up for auction.”
He stepped back half a step and swiped with one hand, revealing a small pile of deep green crystal stones on the platform.
“This item is known as Thunder Death Crystal, formed from the condensation of a powerful thunder-attribute Demon Beast after death, containing dense and pure Thunder Spirit essence, which can be used to assist in the cultivation of Thunder Method, or in crafting thunder-attribute magical artifacts.”
“Lu Mou happened upon such a large amount of Thunder Death Crystal and figured he would sell it all at once.”
“The starting bid is thirty-five thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones, with each increment not less than two thousand.”
“Let the bidding start!”
“Thunder Death Crystal! Indeed, it is an extremely rare Fifth Rank material.”
“But this amount, isn’t it a bit too much?!”
“Thirty-five thousand might be a bit expensive, but it seems insignificant in front of so much Thunder Death Crystal.”
Unable to hold back, a cultivator exclaimed aloud.
The pile of Thunder Death Crystal on the platform, which was initially estimated to weigh more than ten pounds, more than sufficient for crafting magical artifacts.
Lu Xuan remained smiling as he spoke, though he said all the Thunder Death Crystal was presented, in reality, he still had no less than a thousand pounds in his Gluttonous Insect Pouch.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to bring more, but presenting this ten-plus pounds was the result of a comprehensive consideration. Any more would seem unbelievable and might arouse the suspicion and greed of others.
“Vajra Bodhi... Thunder Extreme Escape Talisman... and now such a large group of Thunder Death Crystal!”
“Friend Lu, how many more surprises do you plan to give us?!!” an acquainted cultivator couldn’t help but exclaim.
Everyone initially attended the auction simply because of their acquaintance with Lu Xuan, without much expectation from a personal auction held by a Spirit Plant Master.
Before coming, they didn’t have high hopes for a private auction hosted by a Spirit Plant Master; however, the continuous appearance of three treasure items drastically changed their perspectives.
