Chapter 697: Mystic Color Stone Appears (2)



Each session of the auction was to be hosted by Nascent Soul cultivators from the respective Holy Lands.

The elegant Fairy Tian Qing from Changkong Holy Land was in charge of this first session.

With her charming eyes sweeping over the audience, she smiled and said, “Welcome to all the cultivators participating in the Moonlight City Auction. I am Tian Qing from the Changkong Holy Land, and I will be hosting this first session.

Now, I officially declare the first session of this Moonlight City Auction to begin!”

Whoosh—

As Tian Qing finished speaking, a dazzling beam of light descended from above the stage, illuminating the auction platform in front of her.

As the light dissipated, a pahn-sized jade bottle appeared.

Fairy Tian Qing cheerfully announced, “The first item for auction, provided by our Changkong Holy Land, is the Nascent Soul Formation Pill.”

“Nascent Soul Formation Pill?”

Upon hearing this name, all the Golden Core cultivators in the audience perked up, visibly excited.

They clearly hadn’t expected the first auction item to be such a valuable treasure.

For a time, many people could not help but reveal excited expressions.

Fairy Tian Qing continued with a smile, “The starting price of the Nascent Soul Formation Pill is 10,000 top-grade spirit stones. Every increase in price must be no less than 1,000 spiritual stones.”

“20,000 top-grade spirit stones!”

“50,000 top-grade spirit stones!”

Quickly, the bidding for the pill soared.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan glanced at it briefly but soon lost interest, as well as in the subsequent items that were presented.

Just like that, time slowly passed.

It was not until the third session, hosted by a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Xu Holy Land, that something caught their attention. The cultivator brought out a basketball-sized, multicolored stone, and Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s expressions suddenly tensed up.

They were both stunned, not expecting to actually find what they needed at this kind of auction.

Mystic Color Stone.

It was the Mystic Color Stone that they were looking for!

Moreover, it was more than twice the size they needed.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I will be hosting this third session of the auction,” announced the Nascent Soul cultivator from the Xu Holy Land, as he lifted the Mystic Color Stone.

“This item was obtained by our Xu family cultivator in a secret realm. It possesses immense Dharmic power conductivity, making it an ideal material for crafting Dharma treasures and even true treasures.

The item doesn’t have an official name yet, but I would like to call it the Refinement Stone.

Those interested in crafting exceptional intrinsic Dharma treasures or true treasures may consider bidding for this item.

The starting bid is 10,000 top-grade spirit stones, with each increment no less than 1,000 top-grade spirit stones.”

As soon as the Xu family cultivator finished speaking, various cultivators in the audience started bidding.

“20,000 top-grade spirit stones!”

“30,000 top-grade spirit stones!”

“4.0,000 top-grade spirit stones!”

Clearly, although there was some interest in this previously unseen item, it wasn’t overwhelming.

When the bidding reached 70,000 top-grade spirit stones, the number of bidders dwindled.

It was then that Jiang Chengxuan suddenly declared, “100,000 top-grade spirit stones!”

Hearing his bid, those who were slowly increasing the price stopped.

However, the Xu family cultivator on the auction stage frowned slightly and said again, “100,000 top-grade spirit stones have been offered. Does anyone else want to bid higher?”

No one spoke.

This brought a slight smile to Jiang Chengxuan’s face.

Just now, he was even prepared to spend a lot of money.

However, from the looks of it, he had been overthinking.

Come to think of it, it made sense.

It was already very good that such an item that no one had seen before could be auctioned for such a price.

It seemed like he had a 90% chance of obtaining the Mystic Color Stone.

However, what made Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan frown was that when the Xu family cultivator on the auction stage saw that no one was willing to continue bidding, he shot a look at a cultivator below the stage not far away.

The cultivator understood and immediately said,

“120,000 top-grade spirit stones! I bid 120,000!”

Hearing that person’s voice, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s faces immediately darkened.

The Xu family cultivator’s subtle gesture might have gone unnoticed by others, even by late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, but not by them, who were in the late-stage of Soul Formation.

The only thing they could not be sure of now was whether the other party was doing this to take the opportunity to earn more spirit stones or if he had other motives.

Or perhaps, the Mystic Color Stone was just a bait.

Regardless of the motive, since the Mystic Color Stone had been presented, it could not be retracted.

Jiang Chengxuan decisively bid, “150,000 top-grade spirit stones!”

The Xu family cultivator on stage perked up at Jiang Chengxuan’s bid of 150,000 top-grade spirit stones, immediately announcing, “150,000 top-grade spirit stones have been bid by the previous cultivator! Is there anyone who wishes to bid higher?”

“200,000 top-grade spirit stones!”

Soon, the hooked-nose man who had previously bid spoke up again, raising the price.

This excited the Xu family cultivator on the stage even more, and his gaze kept shifting towards Jiang Chengxuan and his group.

Now, even Huang Wenyu next to them sensed something amiss.

“Daoist Jiang, something doesn’t seem right.”

“Yeah.”

Jiang Chengxuan nodded.

“There’s indeed something wrong, but so what?

“Since they’ve already taken it out, I don’t care what their intentions are. Don’t even think about taking it back.”

As he spoke, a cold smile appeared on his face.

Then, he said again, “I bid one million top-grade spirit stones!”

“What?”

When Jiang Chengxuan said this, many people present could not help but reveal shocked expressions.

One million top-grade spirit stones, what kind of concept was that?

If this was converted into ordinary spirit stones, it would be a total of 100 million.

Who would bid so lavishly?

Initially, everyone thought that a bid of a few hundred thousand was already extravagant, but no one expected someone to raise it to one million.

Unexpectedly, someone raised the price to a million high-grade spirit stones.

Even the Xu family cultivator on stage was momentarily stunned, not anticipating such a high bid.

If their own people continued to bid, it would become obvious to any discerning person that something abnormal was happening.

However, before the auction, the family ancestor had strictly instructed that the Refinement Stone was specifically for testing purposes and must not be actually sold.

Damn it!

What to do now?

For a moment, the Xu family cultivator in charge of hosting the auction broke out in cold sweat.

Back in the private booth, the white-robed old man looked at the situation below and could not help but sneer at the middle-aged man beside him.

“Junior Brother Yao, after so many years, I didn’t expect the Xu family to still be the same as before. They haven’t changed at all.”

They’re still up to their old tricks, using unknown items to fish for bids and then resorting to underhanded tactics.

They’re the reason our holy lands have a tarnished reputation.”

With a dismissive tone, he added,

“Forget it this time. Next time, our Changkong Holy Land must not collaborate with the Xu family on this kind of occasion again.”
