Ch486 - Best Selling Pills

Seeing that the seats and boxes on the first, second, and third floors were all full, and the time had come to start the auction, Elder Qian flew down from the box on the third floor and landed on the auction stage.

The originally noisy auction venue immediately became silent due to the appearance of Elder Qian. Even though Elder Qian was fat and his appearance was not impressive, he was graceful. However, anyone with a bit of common sense knew that Elder Qian was a Second-class Elder of the Lingwu Sect and also an expert in financial management of the Sect. He was also a close friend of Liu Mufeng. Even though this man was only a seventh-level cultivator, no one dared to underestimate because of his money making talents.

Seeing that the cultivators on the first, second and third floors were all quiet, Elder Qian lowered his head and bowed deeply. “I am very grateful to all the seniors and colleagues for taking time out of their busy schedules to attend this auction. This auction is the personal auction of my Lingwu Sect Elder, Liu Mufeng. All the items auctioned are refined and owned by Mufeng. Now, let’s ask today’s host, Elder Liu, to say a few words for everyone.”

As Elder Qian finished speaking, Liu Mufeng flew onto the auction stage. “This Mufeng is very grateful to all the seniors and colleagues for coming. Previous years, my Dao Companion Jiang Xu and I went to the North for training. We were not very satisfied with the progress in improving our strength. Therefore, this time I refined some pills and prepared some treasures I got in the North, I hope they can be exchanged for some spiritual treasures and elixirs that can help us improve our strength. This auction is mainly bartering. If no one is willing to give out the elixirs, then the goods will enter the second round for spiritual treasures and last will be spirit stones. In addition, I will give priority to spiritual treasures and elixirs that can help me and my partner improve our strength. I don’t care about the value of the items, I only care whether the items you offer are what I need.” At this point, Liu Mufeng smiled.

“Alchemist Liu and Elder Jiang are only over a thousand years old and are already eighth-level cultivators. Aren’t you satisfied with your own strength?”

“Yes, this cultivation speed is incredible, and you are still not satisfied?”

“No way!”

“It seems that this time, the people with the spiritual herbs will be at an advantage!”

“Yes, people with spirit stones may not be able to buy good things!”

“Too bad!”

As soon as Liu Mufeng finished speaking, the audience immediately started talking amongst themselves.

After bowing to everyone, Liu Mufeng flew away from the auction stage.

Looking at Liu Mufeng sitting back in his original position, Xuanyuan Chen rolled his eyes. “You are not satisfied with the advancement of your strength. How dare you say such a thing? You and Jiang Xu, you two brats, went to the North for 700 years and advanced from the Spiritual Ancestor Realm to the Spiritual Venerable Realm. You became an eighth-level cultivator before you are even 2,000 years old, are you still not satisfied? You are not afraid of being beaten by the crowd.”

Liu Mufeng smiled bitterly. “It’s just a casual comment.”

On the auction stage, Elder Qian had already taken out the first lot. It was the eighth level pill–BihuaPill.

“Everyone, please see, this is the eighth-level pill, theBihuaPill. Bihua Pill can assist an eighth-level cultivator to improve a star level, and the pill in my hand is a low-grade pill. Its starting price is one eighth-level spiritual plant that is 200 years old. Interested Seniors and Fellow Daoists can bid now.” Elder Qian said with a smile as he looked at the crowd.

“You actually want a spiritual plant directly!”

“Yes, you don’t need spirit stones at all!”

“I will produce an eighth-level spiritual plant that is 300 years old!”

“I will produce a 500-year-old eighth-level spiritual plant!”

“…”

Sitting in the private room, listening to the crazy bidding of the cultivators outside, Ouyang Zhao, the Young Master of Xingluo Sect, frowned deeply. “They actually directly gave the lowest price as spiritual plants. This is not a good sign.”

Looking at her Brother’s ugly expression, Ouyang Lanlan smiled bitterly. “When the strength reaches the level of Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu, spirit stones are just a number to them, they have long been dispensable.”

“Yes, it takes 1.5 billion spirit stones for Liu Mufeng to treat someone with damaged spiritual roots. He has no values for spirit stones for a long time.” At this point, the Ninth Elder sighed.

“But, the sect only prepared spirit stones.” Speaking of this, Ouyang Zhao frowned deeply. This time, the sect prepared three billion spirit stones, and his Father wanted to buy a Bihua Pill and a Spirit-Building Pill. But looking at the current situation, I’m afraid he couldn’t even buy a single pill.

“That will be troublesome.” Ouyang Lanlan frowned and thought:My Brother’s purchase of the elixir this time may not go smoothly!

Soon the first pill was exchanged for the price of a 5000-year-old spiritual plant to a mysterious man wearing a black cloak on the first floor. In order not to be recognized by others, many cultivators wore distinctive black cloaks and masks. This kind of dress was very common in auction venues.

Next up was the second item. The second auction item was Stone Milk extracted from Stone Lotus. This Stone Milk was more suitable for sixth-level and lower-level cultivators to improve their strength, and had no effect on Liu Mufeng and the others on his team, so Liu Mufeng took out three bottles for auction. Three bottles of Stone Milk were sold together, and the base price was a 200-year-old seventh-level spiritual plant, which was much lower than the price of an eighth-levelBihuaPill.

After hearing that it could assist cultivators at level six and below to improve their strength, everyone in the audience immediately started bidding for it.

“Mufeng, this Stone Milk of yours is pretty good.” Jiang Yuantu was also very moved. He felt that this thing should be very helpful to his Son’s cultivation.

Liu Mufeng smiled. “Master, what is being auctioned is the low-grade and medium-grade Stone Milk. The high-grade Stone Milk I kept for Junior Brother to improve his strength.”

Jiang Yuantu knew that Mufeng would think about Qixing.

“High-quality Stone Milk is better than this?” Xuanyuan Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at Liu Mufeng.

“Yes, the top grade Stone Milk is of higher quality than this. I left two bottles each for Mistress Pianpian and Junior Brother Qixing.” As he said that, Liu Mufeng took out four bottles of Stone Milk.

“Mistress, these two bottles are reserved for you to cultivate” With that said, Jiang Xu took the two bottles and gave them to Feng Pianpian.

“Thank you,XiaoXu.” Feng Pianpian smiled and thanked him after taking the Stone Milk.

“Junior Brother, these two bottles are for you. Remember, don’t use them for now. Use them when you advance to the Spiritual Emperor Realm. In that case, your advancement will be smoother.” With that, Liu Mufeng took the remaining two bottles and gave them to his Junior Brother.

“Senior Brother, this is too precious.” Listening to the cultivators below, Qixing knew that this thing was a treasure, even though his Senior Brother was willing to give it to him, he was still a little embarrassed to take it.

“Mufeng gives it to you, just accept it. Remember your Senior Brother’s affection for you. In the future, if possible, you can also find more spiritual treasures to give to your Senior Brother.

Brothers should help each other.” Jiang Yuantu said as he looked at his Son.

“En.” Qixing nodded and took the Stone Milk Liu Mufeng gave him. “Thank you, Senior Brother.”

“There is no need to be polite!” Liu Mufeng smiled and said nonchalantly.

*****

The auction was proceeding in an orderly manner. From pills to Stone Milk to some Northern specialties, every exquisite item was sold. However, the three major sects sitting in the three boxes on the third floor didn’t buy anything important. It seemed they had become a decoration.

Looking at the ten Gold Crystals on the auction table, Ling Fei, the Young Master of Lingyun Sect, smiled bitterly. “The auction is already halfway through, but I have only bought a few Gold Crystals. I am afraid I am destined to disappoint my Father this time.”

Fang Xing frowned. “What Liu Mufeng wants is not spirit stones, but spiritual elixirs”

Thinking of Liu Mufeng who had become an eighth-level alchemist, and then looking at himself who was still learning to refine seventh-level pills, Fang Xing smiled bitterly. Back then, he and Liu Mufeng were both level six alchemists, and they had competed in alchemy together. At that time, his strength was far superior to Liu Mufeng’s, but 900 years had passed, and Liu Mufeng was now a fourth-star Spiritual Venerable Master and a famous eighth-level alchemist. And what about him? He was only a one-star in the Spiritual Ancestor Realm, a seventh-level alchemist who was still learning to refine seventh-level pills. Unexpectedly, just a few hundred years had passed, and there was already such a big gap between the two of them.

“Yes, with Liu Mufeng’s level of strength, naturally he will look down on spirit stones.” At this point, Ling Fei sighed. After his Brother Ling Hao died, he became the Young Master of the Lingyun Sect. He also participated in many auctions on behalf of the Lingyun Sect, but this one was destined to be the most unsuccessful one.

Sitting in the private room, the Young Master of the Zunhuang Sect, Huangfu Yu, had eyes red with anxiety. “What should I do? He’s asking for spiritual herbs at the lowest price. We agreed to buy four Bihua Pills, and both the low-grade pills and the top-grade pills have already been sold. The middle-grade pills and the top-grade pills will definitely need to be exchanged for spiritual herbs. What should I do?”

Seeing Huangfu Yu’s anxious look, Qiao Yuan and Bai Rui frowned. They didn’t expect this either. It had been half an hour since they came to the auction. There were twenty-three items in the auction, but they could not grab any of them.

“Actually, the leaflet clearly stated that Liu Mufeng’s auction was for exchanging the items. It’s about bartering, not spirit stones.” The Fifteenth Elder whispered on the side.

“That’s true, but who will exchange the good treasures in the sect for pills?” Zunhuang Sect was one of the four major sects, so there were naturally a lot of good treasures, however, every auction used spirit stones. Those who also bought spiritual plants were naturally unwilling to let them use spiritual plants in exchange for other people’s pills.
