Chapter 868: Auction
The two practiced separately, and it seemed like they weren’t connected to each other, but the quiet scene gave off a harmonious feel to those watching.
For the next few days, the Su family disciples devoted themselves to cultivation, finally over the excitement from earlier. The mining of the mineral veins proceeded in an orderly manner under the command of Master Quan. The treasured sword of the sect had also reappeared, and Su Yizhi would soon bring Ling Chuxi to the various big sects.
However, since they had now discovered a crystal mine vein, Su Yizhi felt that the gifts that he had originally prepared were a little shabby. Previously, he had only prepared gifts for the sect masters and special guest elders, not bothering about the rest. Now that he had the money, he could go all out.
Thus, Su Yizhi had asked Su Yanhua to take a bunch of White Jade Crystals to the nearest Feng Yan Union to purchase some gifts. It would help him and the others gain some experiential training in advance. Su Yizhi himself stayed in the Golden Pill Sect, settling some matters before he left with Ling Chuxi. The strongest people in the sect would be leaving. If someone were to come and cause trouble, the Su family descendants might not be able to handle them, so the existing defensive array had to be strengthened.
It wasn’t a big matter at first, but what Ling Chuxi and Su Yizhi didn’t expect was that Su Yanhua and the others’ simple task would cause trouble for the Golden Pill sect.
Wu Cang City was the closest city to the Golden Pill Sect. Though it was not a big city, because of the existence of the Feng Yan Union, it was very prosperous. In the Sacred Realm of Sects, the Feng Yan Union did not use a chamber of commerce as a guise, but instead proudly showed off their own golden signboard.
At the moment, the Feng Yan Union was holding an auction. Their large and luxurious hall was crowded, and everyone was staring at the stage excitedly.
On the exquisite stage was a transparent jade bottle. The liquid inside was as bright as jade and bubbling, emitting a thread-like mist. This was called the Gold Transformation Jade Liquid which was a high-quality marrow cleansing spiritual solution which could greatly improve the cleansing of marrows and dredging of meridians. It was usually bought by major sects as soon as it appeared, and rarely managed to make it to auctions.
“Eight thousand White Jade Crystals... Does anyone want to raise the bid?” The auctioneer on the stage boomed at the crowd, his voice slightly hoarse. In truth, most of his excitement was fake. The Gold Transformation Jade Liquid was rare for ordinary people, but it was not unusual for the Feng Yan Union. However, he had to act to keep the crowd going, and he was sweating profusely from his performance.
It was a pity that the auctioneer was not rewarded for his efforts this time. He called out twice in a row, but even though the crowd was excited, no one made a move or bid any more.
It’s not that they were not interested, but the price was too expensive. Perhaps eight thousand White Jade Crystals was nothing for a large sect like the Celestial Sect, but within a few thousand miles of Wu Cang City, there were no major sects. There were only a few minor sects in the area, so who could afford that many White Jade Crystals? They could only dream about it and sigh.
