Chapter 34

Although he still had 4,500 low-grade spirit stones, for Ye Xiwen, it was still a severe shortage. His consumption of spirit stones was truly terrifying, as he used them to speed up his cultivation.

Early in the morning, Ye Xiwen got up early. Instead of continuing to lock himself in his room, he planned to head to the largest auction house in the city, the Heavenly Silver Auction House.

The reason Ye Xiwen was going to the Heavenly Silver Auction House was that the City Lord's Mansion had finally made an announcement. This time, four prenatal pills had been refined. Two were kept by the City Lord's Mansion, and the remaining two were to be auctioned at the largest auction house in the city, the Heavenly Silver Auction House, in three days.

For a moment, the Heavenly Silver Auction House became the target of everyone's attention. If it were a regular auction house, it might have been trampled into the ground by various martial artists in no time. However, the Heavenly Silver Auction House had branches in many places, with its headquarters in the capital of the Great Yue Kingdom. It was a top-tier force in the Great Yue Kingdom, and these people were not to be provoked.

Ye Xiwen planned to go and take a look. Moreover, it was the Heavenly Silver Auction House's monthly auction, and there might be some good items up for auction.

The Heavenly Silver Auction House was very famous in Tianyuan City, and Ye Xiwen easily found it.

When Ye Xiwen first saw the Heavenly Silver Auction House, he immediately felt its grandeur, worthy of a large auction house with branches nationwide.

The Heavenly Silver Auction House, which was already very busy on a regular day, was now even more crowded with a large number of martial artists pouring in. Fortunately, the internal space of the Heavenly Silver Auction House was large enough; otherwise, a large part of these martial artists might not even be able to get in.

Just as Ye Xiwen was about to enter, he was stopped by a guard, who said that he needed to pay five low-grade spirit stones as a fee. Ye Xiwen inwardly cursed the other party for being too greedy, but seeing that others were paying obediently, he did not say much and paid the five low-grade spirit stones, then entered the Heavenly Silver Auction House.

Ye Xiwen quickly found a seat. According to what he knew, the Heavenly Silver Auction House held about ten auctions a day, each lasting about an hour, and one could join the auction at any time.

He sat in a regular seat, while on the second floor, there were VIP boxes that ordinary martial artists could not enter.

"Bang!" The sound of a wooden hammer hitting the table echoed throughout the auction house. An old man in a white robe appeared at the table, holding a wooden hammer.

When Ye Xiwen saw him, he was greatly surprised. This old man in a white robe was actually a Ninth Rank Later Heaven expert. The Heavenly Silver Auction House indeed had a deep foundation, sending a Ninth Rank Later Heaven expert to preside over this auction.

However, due to the City Lord's Mansion's prenatal pill, many martial artists had been attracted to the city. Those participating in the auction were mostly experts. If there were no experts to preside over it, they might not be able to control these people.

"Thank you all for taking the time to attend our auction house's first auction of the day. I believe, as always, our auction house will not disappoint you!" the old man in the white robe said slowly.

"Our rules are well-known to everyone, so I won't repeat them. Let's start the auction immediately. The first item is an alloy longsword, definitely a high-quality weapon, and a very good weapon!" the old man in the white robe said.

At this moment, a servant girl came forward with a silver tray and placed it on the table. The old man in the white robe lifted the red cloth covering the tray, revealing a finely crafted, light red longsword lying on the tray.

Ye Xiwen had no use for this longsword; he practiced saber techniques and used a saber. Moreover, he felt that the saber he currently used was far superior to this sword.

However, while Ye Xiwen was not interested, many others were eyeing it greedily. Soon, the sword was sold for 200 low-grade spirit stones.

Ye Xiwen, of course, knew that this was just an appetizer, and the main course had not yet arrived. Indeed, the Heavenly Silver Auction House subsequently brought out some good weapons and rare materials, but none of them caught Ye Xiwen's interest, and he did not participate in the bidding.

Gradually, even the VIP boxes began to join in the bidding, with people making offers. Compared to those below, the people in the VIP boxes were undoubtedly more generous.

After about half an hour, the old man's words suddenly caught Ye Xiwen's attention.

"The next item we are auctioning is a secret manual!" the old man in the white robe said with a smile. "It is a body-strengthening cultivation technique. According to our appraisal, it might be a prenatal-level technique, but it is incomplete. However, even when cultivated, it is not inferior to a mid-level technique!"

As he spoke, he lifted the red cloth, revealing a slightly tattered secret manual with the title "Bodhi Decisive Technique" written on it.

"The starting price for this 'Bodhi Decisive Technique' is 200 low-grade spirit stones!" the old man in the white robe said.

If it were a complete prenatal-level technique, 200 low-grade spirit stones might not even be enough to get a glimpse. However, for an incomplete one, especially one that could only be compared to a mid-level technique, it was already quite damaged.

However, that was for others. For Ye Xiwen, this was not a problem. He had already tried and confirmed that he could deduce the technique. As long as he had enough spirit stones, he could completely deduce the prenatal technique.

For him, he was currently lacking a body-strengthening technique.

"350 low-grade spirit stones!" Ye Xiwen called out first.

"400!" A voice from a VIP box called out as soon as Ye Xiwen finished speaking.

"410!" Ye Xiwen added another 10 and said.

"500!" The person in the VIP box added another 100.

Come on, 500 low-grade spirit stones, enough to buy a mediocre high-level technique, are they just too rich?

"550!" Ye Xiwen gritted his teeth and said.

"600!" The other party added more money.

At this point, only Ye Xiwen and the VIP in the box were still bidding. For ordinary martial artists, spending 600 low-grade spirit stones on an incomplete technique was a rip-off!

For the VIPs in the VIP boxes, a mid-level technique was not worth it, so in the end, only Ye Xiwen and the VIP in the box were still bidding.
