“The Star Shifting Sun and Moon Sword Grass, starting bid is 100,000 low-grade Spirit Stones, with each bid raising no less than 5,000 low-grade Spirit Stones.”
“The auction begins!”
Zhang Jiuzong briefly introduced the Sixth Grade Sword Grass Spirit Seed before pausing momentarily and then loudly declaring.
“A starting bid of 100,000 low-grade Spirit Stones is only slightly less than the normal Sixth Grade Spirit Seeds, it seems I’ll have to bleed a little.”
Lu Xuan inwardly commented.
However, a high price comes with good reason, and this Star Shifting Sun and Moon Sword Grass Spirit Seed is extremely popular, especially among sword cultivators, who all long to add this Innate Sword Instrument to their collection.
“120,000 low-grade Spirit Stones!”
“130,000!”
In a few breaths, the price escalated to 160,000 low-grade Spirit Stones.
The number of cultivators calling out bids had noticeably decreased.“180,000!”
A Golden Core Late Stage Sword Cultivator announced firmly.
“188,000!”
Lu Xuan immediately followed with a bid that was considered to be particularly auspicious.
“195,000!”
A cool female voice came from his right, resonating from a meteorite. Even with formations concealing and separating, one could still feel the sharp Sword Intent emanating from her.
“200,000!”
Without a second thought, Lu Xuan raised the bid to a 200,000 level.
After stating this price, the number of cultivators interested in the Star Shifting Sun and Moon Sword Grass Spirit Seed sharply dropped.
Obtaining a Sixth Grade Spirit Seed for 200,000 Spirit Stones, even if it was a top-tier variety among the same rank, was not a sound deal for the vast majority of cultivators.
“210,000!”
The Golden Core Late Stage Sword Cultivator directly raised the bid by 10,000, attempting to scare Lu Xuan away.
But he underestimated Lu Xuan’s firm determination to obtain this Sixth Grade Sword Grass Spirit Seed at all costs.
“220,000.”
Lu Xuan said softly, his voice even and calm, exuding a confidence as if victory was already in his hands.
“220,000 for the first time…”
Silence descended among the cultivators present.
“225,000!”
After hesitating for a while, the female cultivator’s cool voice sounded again.
“230,000.”
Yet, Lu Xuan didn’t hesitate at all and raised the bid again.
“Congratulations, fellow Daoist!”
In the end, he successfully secured the Sixth Grade Sword Grass Spirit Seed.
Seizing a gap in the auction of other high-rank treasures, Lu Xuan hurried to claim the Sword Grass Spirit Seed.
“I didn’t expect that even after leaving the Sky Sword Sect, I would still be deeply entangled with the Dongxuan Sword Sect.”
Lu Xuan looked at the Spirit Seed in his hand with a smile and safely stored it in the Gluttonous Insect Pouch.
After procuring the Star Shifting Sun and Moon Sword Grass Spirit Seed, he lapsed into silence, quietly watching as other cultivators jostled over various treasures. Ｒâ₦ՕBÈＳ
Occasionally, one or two items would spark considerable interest in him, but after bidding a few times, he eventually had to give up.
Among the cultivators present, there were several Golden Core Real People and Nascent Soul True Monarchs with distinguished backgrounds, abundant wealth, and powerful strength. Although he was qualified to compete with them, he had to prioritize the Spirit Seeds.
After all, the benefits from the Spirit Seeds could be many times higher than those from the treasures.
As the auction progressed, the rank and rarity of the treasures presented increased.
In the latter half, a Middle Rank Divine Ability caused the competition to reach a fever pitch, ultimately selling for nearly five million, leaving Lu Xuan, who was observing from a corner, utterly astounded.
“It’s indeed those great cultivators, large families, and Great Sects that have profound depths.”
“Farming for decades, I can only say that I’m constantly shortening the distance between them and me.”
“Of course, if I could get a few more Seventh Grade spiritual seeds, then perhaps I could surpass them.”
Thinking of the upcoming Seventh Grade spiritual seeds, Lu Xuan felt the numerous spirit stones in his storage bag itching to be used, eager to try.
After knocking off a Seventh Grade flying sword, Zhang Jiuzong, his expression filled with a hint of excitement, took out a spiritual seed.
The surface of the spiritual seed was mysterious and deep, with dark yellow ripples emanating, as if there was a grey-yellow river flowing alongside it. As soon as it appeared, it generated an astonishing phenomenon.
The river spread downwards, forming a yin qi-infused area where ghost creatures thrived and the ghost lizard reproduced. The virtual shadow of a towering tree took root in the ghost lizard’s realm, its thick roots like strange tentacles, continually delving into the infinite depths of the ghost lizard’s domain.
“Seventh Grade Spiritual Seed!”
Lu Xuan felt a resonance.
“This phenomenon… it’s even more magnificent and spectacular than the E-Mu Green Thunder Vine and the Eightfold Palace.”
He said to himself in his heart, growing even more expectant of the Seventh Grade spiritual seed.
“Could this phenomenon possibly be the legendary Netherworld Immortal Tree?”
“Oh? Could my fellow cultivator provide me with some insight?”
“I also learned of it from an ancient tome. It’s said that this Spirit Plant can bear an extraordinary Spirit Fruit, but it’s incredibly difficult to cultivate, hardly achievable without the resources of a major family or a Great Sect.”
The appearance of the spiritual seed immediately sparked a lot of discussion.
Zhang Jiuzong looked around and saw all cultivators were attracted to the spiritual seed in his hand, a smile on his face.
“The item in Zhang’s possession is a Seventh Grade spiritual seed named the Netherworld Immortal Tree. It is said to originate from the Netherworld ghost lizard, exists without life nor death, and it’s only under extreme conditions that it will condense into a spiritual seed.”
“Once the spiritual seed matures, every once in a while, it can bear a Seventh Grade Immortal Fruit. The Immortal Fruit has many marvelous uses, largely related to the plant itself and the cultivation process, though the specifics require fellow cultivators to explore on their own.”
“The Netherworld Immortal Tree spiritual seed, the starting bid is six hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones, and each bid must not be less than ten thousand.”
“The auction starts!”
“Seven hundred thousand!”
Lu Xuan took the lead, immediately raising the price by a hundred thousand, setting the tone.
The cultivators who wanted to obtain this Seventh Grade spiritual seed were not few, including Primordial Infant True Monarchs and Golden Core Real People representing Great Sects and families.
In less than ten breaths, the price had risen to one million two hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones.
“One million three hundred thousand!”
A juvenile voice erupted, and on the meteorite, a small figure revealed itself.
The little person was three feet tall, with pale and delicate skin, seemingly fragile. Despite his appearance that ought to be cute, he was sitting cross-legged on a pile of countless infant skeletons, with grey and black ghost infants occasionally climbing onto his shoulder.
“The Thousand Infants True Monarch, the Supreme Elder of the Thousand Infant Sect, I didn’t expect him to have come too.”
“One million and five hundred thousand spirit stones, Thousand Infants fellow cultivator, with so many ghost infants, if you bear the Immortal Fruit, can you even feed them all?”
An authoritative voice rang out as a meteorite moved to the front of the crowd. On it stood a half-human half-dragon monk, his neck and cheeks covered in dense, blue-green dragon scales, emitting a powerful and invisible pressure as he stood on the meteorite.
“So it’s you, old Green Drake ghost. What, with your life’s limit approaching, you plan to use this Immortal Fruit to switch to cultivating the ghostly path?”
The Thousand Infants True Monarch sneered, his tone carrying a hint of mockery toward the half-human half-dragon cultivator.
“One million six hundred thousand.”
Lu Xuan, still hidden in a corner, without revealing his true form, raised the bid by another hundred thousand.
He could not afford to show his face like these two Nascent Soul True Monarchs, he could only secretly grow stronger, discreetly acquiring this Seventh Grade spiritual seed.
The bidding by the three instantly caused other Sects and Clans’ cultivators to back down.
Lu Xuan didn’t care about the others, as long as one of the Nascent Soul True Monarchs made a bid, he would instantly add another hundred thousand, spending money like water, as if he didn’t take spirit stones seriously at all.
“Two million one hundred and ten thousand!”
After struggles to climb above the two million mark, he once again added a hundred thousand.
“The fellow cultivator is very generous, I, for one, concede.”
The Thousand Infants True Monarch stated sullenly, and a covert spiritual sense spread out, but it was blocked by the Instrument Spirit Villain’s prohibitions and restrictions and so returned without result.
“Many thanks for the fellow cultivator’s generosity!”
Lu Xuan, disguising his voice, spoke in a deep tone.
