Chapter 47 Fierce
1564 Words
The blood dissolving elixir unexpectedly appeared in advance, making the atmosphere eerily quiet, but everyone could feel the majestic momentum brewing in the air.
At the same time, these cultivators couldn't help guessing that since Treasure Attic could auction the blood dissolving elixir in advance, what were the other treasures behind it?
Or maybe there was more than one blood dissolving elixir that would be auctioned.
Lu Ping was determined to get this blood dissolving elixir.
Obviously, some cultivators with strong backgrounds got the news in advance that blood dissolving elixirs might be auctioned here, and Lu Ping also got the news from Shi Lingling.
However, Treasure Attic didn't tell them how many blood dissolving elixirs they were going to auction, and the cultivators who got the news would tacitly think they would only auction one blood dissolving elixir. After all, blood dissolving elixirs were so precious.
"It's a blood dissolving elixir. I think I don't need to introduce it to you, right? Its starting price is 1,200 spiritual stones, and its offer price shall go up by no less than 50 spiritual stones each time. Now, you can make your offers!"
"1,300 spiritual stones!"
"1,350 spiritual stones!"
"I bid 1,400 spiritual stones. It's mine. Don't bid against me for it!"
An anxious cultivator was even incoherent, but people should bid against each other for things in an auction, right?
Lu Ping was not in a hurry to bid. He knew it was far from the time to really bid.
Although the market price of a blood dissolving elixir was between 1,800 and 2,000 spiritual stones, blood dissolving elixirs were always unavailable and their supply failed to meet the demand, so it was normal even if this blood dissolving elixir was sold for 2,000 spiritual stones. Moreover, there were more than a thousand cultivators in this auction and only one blood dissolving elixir, so this blood dissolving elixir would certainly be sold for a very high price.
None of the cultivators in the surrounding private rooms had bid for this blood dissolving elixir. Lu Ping knew that the real bid for the blood dissolving elixir hadn't started.
The reason why Lu Ping was in a hurry to buy blood dissolving elixirs was that his cultivation was already close to the threshold of the Blood Dissolving stage. Besides, the common sense about the Blood Dissolving stage Yao Yong told him and the jade slip Yao Yong gave him all showed that with his strong cultivation and solid foundation, two blood dissolving elixirs might not be enough if he wanted to enter the Blood Dissolving stage.
Yao Yong's family was not very powerful. Except that Yao Yong earned one blood dissolving elixir in the Grand Competition, his family only prepared another one for him.
Even so, when Yao Yong made the breakthrough, the medicinal power of the two blood dissolving elixirs was only barely enough.
Another reason was that many cultivators had guessed that Treasure Attic couldn't only auction one blood dissolving elixir. So, they probably wouldn't compete fiercely for this blood dissolving elixir. In the end, Lu Ping might get it at a reasonable price.
At this time, the price of the blood dissolving elixir had been raised to 1,800 spiritual stones.
At this moment, the cultivator in the No.4 private room finally couldn't help making an offer, "2,000 spiritual stones!"
The cultivator in the No.4 private room was obviously tired of this market-like clamor, directly wiping out the hopes of some cultivators.
"Is it Mr. Bai in that private room? Nice to see you. How can I let you bid for it alone? I'll add a hundred spiritual stones!" A provocative voice came from the No. 8 private room next to Lu Ping.
"Yu Qiulan, you already have the blood dissolving elixir prepared by your family. Why do you want this one? Don't make trouble!" Mr. Bai said in a deep voice in the No.4 private room.
"That's not right. We compete fairly. The one who makes the highest offer gets this blood dissolving elixir. I don't dare to make trouble. Besides, you are not short of blood dissolving elixirs, either, right?"
"It's none of your business. I have my own purpose. 2,200 spiritual stones!"
"2,250 spiritual stones," this time it was the cultivator in the No. 2 private room.
"Look, you're not the only one who wants this blood dissolving elixir!" Yu Qiulan's voice sounded again.
Lu Ping frowned. He never thought he would see the cultivators from aristocratic families being so hostile to each other.
Lu Ping didn't want to get involved in the struggle of these families and get himself into trouble because of bidding, so he decided to take his time to bid.
"2,300 spiritual stones!" Mr. Bai made another offer, and he already sounded obviously sullen.
"2,400 spiritual stones!" Someone in the No. 10 private room shouted. Lu Ping recognized that it was Shi Lingling who was making the offer. Lu Ping used a magic method to change his voice when he made an offer earlier, so he was not afraid of being recognized by others.
Lu Ping glanced in the direction of the No. 10 private room, but still kept silent.
"2,450 spiritual stones!" It was one of the cultivators under the stage who spoke, and it attracted others' attention.
The man looked calm, without the slightest panic on his face. He only looked at the stage quietly.
Even if he was not a man of high status, he was a brave man. The others speculated like this.
"2,500 spiritual stones," the person in the No. 12 private room also joined in the bid.
"2,550 spiritual stones," the person in the No. 1 private room also made an offer.
No one wanted to give up this blood dissolving elixir, but its price was going to surpass its value. The person who bought it might suffer a loss. The bid became stalemated.
"2,800 spiritual stones," Lu Ping finally made an offer, which was far higher than that of the others. He was confident to get it!
The crowd's spirits were lifted, and they speculated that Lu Ping might be the member of some kind of family or the descendant of a Grandmaster of some kind of sect.
Up to now, the people in the 12 private rooms had basically made an offer.
"This gentleman offered 2,800 spiritual stones, which is the highest offer in today's auction. Is there any other offer? 2,800 spiritual stones, first!"
It was quiet outside the No. 7 private room.
"This gentleman doesn't sound very familiar. Which family are you from? Maybe our two families are on friendly terms," Mr. Bai's voice came out.
Lu Ping didn't answer.
"2,800 spiritual stones, second!" Director Pang shouted again.
"Maybe he's a cultivator of the Xuan Spirit Sect!" Yu Qiulan intentionally prodded Lu Ping. What a troublemaker!
"I'm from the True Spirit Sect," Lu Ping didn't dare to keep silent anymore. Yu Qiulan was a guy with ill attention. If he didn't speak, they would acquiesce in Yu Qiulan's idea. Then, due to the relationship between the Xuan Spirit Sect and the True Spirit Sect, the disciples of the True Spirit Sect would gather to besiege him, the so-called "cultivator of the Xuan Spirit Sect".
Anyway, there were tens of thousands of cultivators at the Blood Refining stage in the True Spirit Sect. If he had the ability, he could try to find Lu Ping among them.
"2,850 spiritual stones. Sir, can you give up this blood dissolving elixir to me? I'm Bai Changchun from the Bai family. I'll reward you for that in the future!"
"3,000 spiritual stones!" Lu Ping's response was decisive. He was determined to get it!
"Humph!" Bai Changchun gave a cold humph in the No. 4 private room.
Lu Ping didn't care who he offended. Preparing for entering the Blood Dissolving stage was more important than anything.
After Director Pang gave the others the last chance, no one raised the price, and Lu Ping in the No. 7 private room got this blood dissolving elixir.
Lu Ping waved his hand and sent out 30 medium-grade spiritual stones. Looking at the second purple elixir in his hand, he was overjoyed.
The only two offers made by the mysterious cultivator in the No. 7 private room attracted a lot of attention.
After such a c****x, the cultivators' spirits were indeed lifted.
Then the auction was more heated and livelier. Various items were auctioned, such as magic weapons, elixirs, mysterious skills, magic circles, magic trays, recipes of elixirs, spiritual herbs, and secret books. All the items auctioned were sold for a high price.
Lu Ping also met a lot of things he was interested in, and occasionally bid for them, but he would stop bidding when they reached the reasonable price to see if there was a bargain to take.
Lu Ping had a small plan. If a blood dissolving elixir was auctioned again and its price was less than 3,000 spiritual stones, he would bid for it again.
In this way, he only had about 2,000 spiritual stones left, which might have some impact on his cultivation, but he still had some thick blood elixirs, which could be used for a year. He would find a way to replenish them after they were used up.
For entering the Blood Dissolving stage, everything was worth it.
