Chapter 689: 689 Auction
In this respect, everyone’s thoughts were surprisingly consistent.
The Lotus Fairy sighed inwardly, knowing that this item would definitely not be sold. To be honest, it had been sitting in the Duobao Pavilion for a long time.
"The Chaos Heaven Silk doesn’t require Spirit Stones, but needs an Immortality Grass for exchange," the Lotus Fairy said once more.
"Immortality Grass? I’ve never heard of Immortality Grass. What is it? Could it be something that grants eternal life?"
The Lotus Fairy smiled, "What this fellow Taoist said earlier is indeed correct. Immortality Grass has exactly that effect."
"Do we have such a thing here?"
"Records indicate that we do have it here."
"Lotus Fairy, none of us have heard of Immortality Grass, so even if we had it, we wouldn’t know it is Immortality Grass, right?"
"That’s why our Duobao Pavilion has provided pictures. Everyone can check if they have it."
The crowd all turned their eyes to the screen behind the Lotus Fairy, eager to see what Immortality Grass looked like. If they truly had such an item in their possession, who would still want to exchange it for this damaged Chaos Heaven Silk?
Finally, they all saw the picture. "Dad, so the Immortality Grass looks like this? It’s too ordinary, right? Or did the artist draw it inaccurately?"
Tan Shaoting shook his head, he didn’t know either; he had never seen it.
The Lotus Fairy looked at everyone’s expressions and knew that the Chaos Heaven Silk would be up for auction once again.
"Don’t be discouraged, everyone. If you find it in the future, we hope you can come to our Duobao Pavilion to exchange it.
Alright, let’s begin with the second item. This is a Nascent Soul Pill, and I dare say there are only three Nascent Soul Pills on this continent.
For fellow Taoists at the late-stage Core Formation wishing to form a Nascent Soul, this can increase the chance by thirty percent.
This Nascent Soul Pill doesn’t require Spirit Stones either, it’s the Ten Thousand Years Essence that’s needed."
Well now, upon these words, everyone in the hall looked with longing at the small porcelain bottle on the tray. Although most were at Qi Cultivation Stage, far from forming a Nascent Soul, who didn’t have that ambition? Who wouldn’t want to form a Supreme Nascent Soul?
The sects in the rooms upstairs were extremely excited.
The elder of the Xuantian Sect was grumbling inwardly. He had asked Duobao Pavilion for this Nascent Soul Pill several times. He never expected those shameless people to put it up for auction.
Ten Thousand Years Essence? That would indeed be quite nice. With that, even without a Nascent Soul Pill, using the essence wouldn’t be inferior to the Nascent Soul Pill.
"If anyone has Ten Thousand Years Essence and doesn’t need Nascent Soul Pill, they can be compensated with three hundred thousand Spirit Stones."
The Spirit Stones referred to here are low-grade Spirit Stones.
Someone below murmured. A Nascent Soul Pill, three hundred thousand Spirit Stones, that’s really no small amount.
The Lotus Fairy sighed inwardly again; there was still no hope for the second item. This seriously affected her reputation.
She adjusted her mood, "There’s another treasure, everyone, keep your eyes open." The Lotus Fairy wasn’t confident about this lot either.
"Everyone, take a look, this is a Spiritual Pearl, a Thunder Spirit Pearl."
Once again, it caused an uproar as everyone talked about the Thunder Spirit Pearl.
"I think everyone knows the uses and effects of the Spiritual Pearl.
The starting bid for this item is one thousand mid-grade Spirit Stones."
"Lotus Fairy, we know all that, but the Thunder Spirit Pearl can only be used by those with Thunder Spirit Root.
I haven’t heard of anyone having a Thunder Spirit Root."
The Lotus Fairy awkwardly coughed once. She, too, knew there was no Thunder Spirit Root now, but that didn’t mean there wouldn’t be one in the future.
"Everyone, please remain calm. After all, it is a Spiritual Pearl, and the benefits are well-known; it’s like having a second Dantian.
There might not be a Thunder Spirit Root now, but who knows about the future?"
Outside, the discussions were lively, but in the private room, the four father and sons were extremely excited.
Qi Hong and Qi Wen both already had their Spiritual Pearls. Only Qi Yan still didn’t, and Tan Shaoting had been searching all along.
Finally, there was news of the Thunder Spirit Pearl. It was certainly worthwhile coming this time.
So Tan Shaoting placed a bid. One thousand and one.
Well now, the entire auction hall fell silent.
"Is there really a Thunder Spirit Root? Impossible, I’ve never heard of it."
"There probably isn’t. Just someone wealthy enough, thinking to keep it for future use."
Most people agreed with this perspective, believing they were preparing for the future.
Tan Shaoting also knew that what he was doing was extremely dangerous and made it easy to expose themselves. Especially since everyone suspected him of entering the tenth floor of the Trial Tower. Now he was also bidding on the Thunder Spirit Pearl.
But missing this opportunity, who knew when they would encounter one again?
As for the power of Duobao Pavilion, he knew it was basically impossible to find out the owner of the Thunder Spirit Pearl.
So, he could only get the Thunder Spirit Pearl at the auction.
He looked at Qi Yan, thinking that even if it were dangerous, it was worth it. After all, opportunities like this were rare; especially the Spiritual Pearls, truly things that can only be encountered by rare chance.
The three children were also very nervous.
After Tan Shaoting placed his bid, the Lotus Fairy casually asked, "Everyone, any more bids?"
She thought to herself that if the Thunder Spirit Pearl really sold for one thousand and one Spirit Stone, the owner would probably cry.
But the auction had its rules. It could be withdrawn, but it couldn’t be retracted. Hopefully, the owner could buy it back themselves; otherwise, they’d lose everything.
The owner was also in the auction house, never expecting such a situation. He had thought the Thunder Spirit Pearl would be taken by the family, and there was no way it would go for just a thousand mid-grade Spirit Stones.
But now, only a bid of one thousand and one has come up. What’s going on?
He thought about following up, but he was afraid no one else would follow, and he’d end up using his own mid-grade Spirit Stones. Now he was even more broke; how dare he bid?
The venue was quiet now. Everyone was waiting to see the spectacle.
The Lotus Fairy looked at the owner’s booth opposite. Yet there was not a sound.
This really was a squandering fool. Would have been much better to sell directly to Duobao Pavilion, but this person was too greedy, wanted to sell for more. Now look, someone just added one Spirit Stone, and after Duobao Pavilion takes their fee, they won’t get much more. But still, they do get one more mid-grade Spirit Stone.
"Everyone, any more bids? This is indeed a rare Thunder Spirit Pearl."
No matter what the Lotus Fairy said, still no bids came. Mainly, whether sect or family, Spirit Stones were not plentiful now. Besides, one thousand mid-grade Spirit Stones was no small amount.
The Lotus Fairy was helpless, "One thousand and one, once."
Until the third call finished, still no one raised their bid.
"Congratulations to the fellow Taoist with room number one-zero-five, who won the Thunder Spirit Pearl with one thousand and one mid-grade Spirit Stones."
The father and sons in the room laughed; Tan Shaoting prepared two thousand mid-grade Spirit Stones to win it, but unexpectedly it went so smoothly, just adding one Spirit Stone, and it was in his hands?
