Chapter 152 The Auction
The assessment would be held in three months.
During this period, one could freely enter and exit the Grand Evolution Pill Sect by relying on the token.
The sect forbade any internal conflicts. Once a conflict broke out, the assessment quota would be immediately abolished.
If the token was snatched by others after going out, the sect would not be responsible.
"Dong dong dong…"
At this moment, someone knocked on the door of the stone room.
Out of habit, He Qingge carefully stuck a talisman on his body before opening the door.
What entered his eyes was a middle-aged couple with friendly faces. They had a faint smile on their faces, giving off a rather warm feeling.
"What's the matter?" He Qingge was puzzled.
"Brother, we live next door to you. We can be considered neighbors. When we came back today, we found that someone was living next door, so we came to visit."
"This is a small gift from us husband and wife. Please accept it as a form of goodwill." The husband and wife handed over the box in their hands.
He Qingge was a little hesitant, but he still took it.
The main thing was that it was best not to touch the things of strangers when they were outside.
However, this was the interior of the Grand Evolution Alchemy Sect. All kinds of struggles were prohibited. There should not be any problems.
More importantly, He Qingge was wearing a thin layer of gloves on his hands. He used his mana to wrap his entire body.
Just in case.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoists. I happen to have some talismans. I'll temporarily give them to you as a gift!"
He Qingge smiled and took out a few second-grade talismans from his storage ring.
"From the looks of it, it should be your first time here. Now that the Great Evolution Pill Sect is holding an auction, why don't we go together? I heard that there are many good things released inside."
"Auction?"
" Yes, it's only open to sect disciples and those of us who signed up for the assessment. It can be said to be an opportunity."
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you to lead the way." He Qingge pondered for a moment.
" No trouble at all. Please, Fellow Daoist."
Soon, he followed the couple to the auction house.
The decoration of the auction house was indeed much more luxurious than their stone room.
There was a clear gap between them.
Everyone couldn't help but look forward to the auction house's items.
"Fellow Daoist, you need to buy a ticket before entering this auction house. Ordinary tickets only cost 100 Stage 2 spirit stones. The slightly better seats range from 800 to 1,500, and the better ones start at 5,000 for private rooms." The couple bought ordinary tickets.
He Qingge also bought a normal ticket.
He secretly thought that this Great Evolution Alchemy Sect definitely treated this batch of itinerant cultivators as leeks.
There was nothing much to say about the ordinary ticket seats. The surroundings were densely packed with people.
Many of them wore masks and black cloaks.
He wanted to avoid exposing his identity.
Not long after, the auction began.
After a simple introduction, he began to load the items.
"The first item being auctioned is something that is closely related to many alchemists."
"Fire Dragon Fire Control Art. This is a Tier 3 fire control spell. I think everyone here should be very clear about the concept of Tier 3."
"If you can successfully master it, it will definitely allow everyone present to further improve their fire control skills and greatly improve your pill refinement level. Most importantly, this fire control art is not very difficult."
"The starting price is 10,000 Level 2 low-grade spirit stones. Each increase must not be lower than 1,000 low-grade spirit stones."
He Qingge's eyes narrowed. A Tier 3 Fire Control Technique would definitely be able to greatly improve their fire control standards.
Therefore, this auction was quite sincere.
The price was not high. Most importantly, it was a third-grade spell. Many Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators were quite tempted.
All of them were alchemists, so they basically didn't lack money.
At the very least, he was much richer than those ordinary cultivators.
This auction item might also be to test the financial resources of the wandering cultivators.
"I bid 15,000 spirit stones."
In an instant, it had increased by 5,000 spirit stones.
"Sixteen thousand spirit stones…"
"Seventeen thousand spirit stones…"
...
" Thirty thousand spirit stones."
Suddenly, a firm sound of an explosion rang out.
"Thirty thousand spirit stones going once, thirty thousand spirit stones going twice, thirty thousand spirit stones going thrice, sold. Let us congratulate this cultivator for successfully obtaining a third-grade spell, the Fire Dragon Fire Control Art."
He Qingge did not participate in the auction. This item was not of much use to him.
" The second item is the Purple Origin Pill Cauldron. This is a third tier lower grade medicinal cauldron. It's a little old, but it doesn't affect its usage. It can help alchemists increase the effect of condensing pills when condensing them, and at least reduce the rate of bad pills by ten percent."
"The starting price is 20,000 low-grade spirit stones. Each increase must not be lower than 2,000 low-grade spirit stones."
"30,000 low-grade spirit stones."
Someone directly increased the price by 10,000 low-grade spirit stones.
Many people looked over.
He Qingge also looked over. This person was covered in a black robe, which had the effect of isolating and blocking detection.
Fortunately, this auction house forbade the use of magic, or else many people would have planted a mark on this Daoist brother.
As He Qingge sighed, he suddenly noticed a fluctuation. Someone had really planted a mark on the black-robed man.
"Die!"
Suddenly, a huge hand slapped across the air, and a person in the middle was instantly slapped into a bloody mist.
The smiling auctioneer on the stage immediately turned cold.
It was him who killed the person in the middle.
"I should have told you before you came in that you are forbidden to use any spells in the auction. This person actually used a marking spell on others, so I punished him."
"I hope that everyone will remember the sect rules and regulations in their hearts. In order to protect your lives and property, please do not violate the sect regulations."
At the same time, a powerful pressure was released, and everyone's hearts trembled.
At least in the Nascent Soul Stage, He Qingge could easily judge.
This Grand Evolution Alchemy Sect's strength was extraordinary!
Then, he waved his hand again, and the pool of blood mist instantly disappeared.
The auction continued. In the end, the cauldron was sold for 50,000 spirit stones.
The people in the auction later on were all well-behaved, afraid that if they were not careful, they would die.
However, after this incident, everyone felt much more at ease and participated in the auction boldly.
At least they were safe within the sect.
This move could be said to be killing multiple birds with one stone.
Not only did it make these itinerant cultivators pay attention to the Grand Evolution Alchemy Sect's rules, it also calmed the hearts of many people who wanted to participate in the auction.
After all, what if he didn't have the life to hold it after the auction?
But now, he did not have to worry about these things.
The price of the auction continued to rise.
Only then did He Qingge clearly realize how terrifying the wealth of these itinerant cultivators and alchemists was.
They might have accumulated for years, but they had no other way. At this moment, if they could encounter an item that could help them improve, they would be ruthless enough to spend the price.
encounter an item that could help them improve, they would be ruthless enough to spend the price.
