Zhang Ling had also attended the Golden Core cultivator's auction earlier, but apart from spending five to six hundred thousand spirit stones to purchase a sizable piece of Ice Soul Jade, he didn't find anything else he liked.
The Nascent Soul Pill he consigned was indeed one of the three, eventually fetching a sky-high price of million spirit stones. The other two Nascent Soul Pills went for roughly the same amount.
Besides the Nascent Soul Pill, he also consigned several millennium-old spiritual herbs, a few of which were auctioned off earlier, bringing in a total of over two million spirit stones.
Adding that to the spirit stones he had obtained over the past two days by exchanging various pills and materials, he now had over four million low-grade spirit stones.
In addition to that, he also had a considerable amount of mid-grade spirit stones. Zhang Ling's current wealth was no less than those old monsters who had been stuck in the Nascent Soul stage for hundreds of years.
Even so, as Zhang Ling surveyed the cultivators present, he knew that his wealth was probably nothing compared to these old monsters.
Some of these cultivators were ancestors of major and minor sects, and their speed of accumulating spirit stones was definitely not something he could match alone.
However, mid- and low-grade spirit stones were just ordinary resources for Nascent Soul cultivators, and no matter how many they had, they might not be able to buy some rare spiritual objects.
The final highlight items of the ongoing trade fair were temporarily consigned by other cultivators, and they all required special materials for exchange. These were the treasures that the cultivators valued most.
As one auction item after another was auctioned off, time quietly passed.
...
After more than half an hour, the starting price of the auction items had risen to a million spirit stones.
At this moment, the enchanting woman on the jade platform waved her hand, and a small gray wooden box was opened, revealing a string of prayer beads made of several precious beads.
"Fellow Daoists, please take a look. This treasure is the 'Bodhi Rosary', refined according to ancient methods passed down from ancient times. It has a total of seven precious beads, with effects such as dust avoidance and wind avoidance. It is also strung with a 'Mind-Calming Pearl' refined from three-thousand-year-old sandalwood, which has a considerable mind-calming effect. The starting price is one million low-grade spirit stones, but there is a requirement for auctioning this treasure. The Daoist who auctions this item must use all mid-grade spirit stones. The exchange starting price is nine thousand mid-grade spirit stones. If any Daoist can offer equivalent high-grade spirit stones, they will have priority in bidding."
"Nine thousand two hundred mid-grade spirit stones."
"This old man offers ten thousand mid-grade spirit stones!"
...
The million spirit stone auction item seemed to be a threshold, and immediately many people began to raise the price.
Zhang Ling's eyes also lit up as he stared at the prayer beads in the enchanting woman's hand. He seemed to have seen records of the Bodhi Rosary in some ancient books.
This treasure was originally a support item refined from nine special beads. It had nine different effects such as avoiding dust, fire, wind, cold, breaking obstacles, and calming the mind. Its strength lay in its comprehensiveness, making it a top-tier support treasure.
Although this string being auctioned now only had seven beads, it could still be considered a top-tier ancient treasure. Zhang Ling's spirit was lifted, and he also called out a price.
In a short while, this treasure was auctioned to thirteen thousand mid-grade spirit stones. The number of bidders gradually decreased, leaving only a few cultivators competing with him.
In the end, Zhang Ling expressionlessly called out a high price of sixteen thousand mid-grade spirit stones, and no one competed with him anymore.
"Congratulations to this Daoist for winning this treasure."
The enchanting woman held the Bodhi Rosary and looked around, then put the prayer beads back into the box. Immediately, a white-skirted girl with her hair in a bun took the box and flew towards Zhang Ling.
The enchanting woman clapped her hands, and a piece of ink-black crystal appeared in her hand. Without any delay, she began to introduce it.
"A piece of Mysterious Crystal Jade, weighing twelve pounds and three ounces. Also with a starting price of one million spirit stones. If any Daoist has a four-grade fire attribute spiritual herb that is over three thousand years old, they will have priority in bidding."
In an instant, more than a dozen bidding voices rang out again.
The white-clothed girl holding the Bodhi Rosary had already arrived in front of Zhang Ling and respectfully handed over the wooden box.
"Senior, please check. This is the treasure you bid for."
Zhang Ling didn't say a word, waved his hand, and threw out a storage bag. With a wave of his hand, the box in the girl's hand flew in front of him, and with a 'click', it opened.
He directly took out the Bodhi Rosary and carefully checked it, and after confirming that it was correct, he immediately put it away.
The white-clothed girl had the cultivation of the early stage of the Golden Core, and instantly checked the number of mid-grade spirit stones in the storage bag, and then respectfully gave a salute and left.
While checking this treasure, Zhang Ling also felt more than a dozen divine senses sweeping over him. These divine senses were not weak, and they were all Nascent Soul cultivators.
He couldn't help but sneer in his heart, not worrying at all about being seen through by these old monsters. The Mixed Spirit Wood Token he wore on his body could not be seen through even with his divine sense, so naturally, he didn't need to worry about these cultivators remembering his aura.
Zhang Ling also didn't expect that the Bodhi Rosary would appear at the auction.
This kind of top-tier support ancient treasure had some wonderful uses. If he were to go to Yin Sha lands, the depths of fire veins, or Xuanbing cold pools and other special areas, wearing this string of prayer beads would save him a lot of trouble.
The Bodhi Rosary could function as long as it was worn, and it consumed very little spiritual power. However, spending almost all of the mid-grade spirit stones in his hand all at once made Zhang Ling feel a little heartache.
Sixteen thousand mid-grade spirit stones, if all exchanged for low-grade spirit stones, could easily be exchanged for more than million low-grade spirit stones. It might even be possible to exchange for two million low-grade spirit stones.
In the few breaths of time he was daydreaming, the second treasure with a starting price of one million spirit stones was also auctioned off by a cultivator for million spirit stones.
Two Purple Jade Corals, starting price million spirit stones.
A rare three-grade spiritual grass with 2,500 years of medicinal age, Nether Soul Grass, starting price one million spirit stones.
A bottle of Toad Cry Liquid.
Ancient Treasure Azure Fire Staff.
One treasure after another with a value of more than one million spirit stones constantly appeared before his eyes.
Among them, Zhang Ling naturally took a fancy to a few treasures and made a few bids, but only a piece of Gelatinous Soft Jade with a considerable weight was auctioned off by him for million low-grade spirit stones.
Gelatinous Soft Jade was also a special material, but it was not very useful. Therefore, there were not many people competing for it, but this material was exactly the spiritual material indispensable for refining high-level puppets, and it was often used in the joint parts of puppets.
Some of the spiritual objects were auctioned for a high price of two million spirit stones, and the atmosphere of the auction also rose.
Zhang Ling sighed in his heart, the cultivators present were all rich.
After one treasure after another with a million-dollar starting price was auctioned off, and after a full dozens of treasures were auctioned off, the enchanting woman lightly clapped her hands and said with a smile.
"Thank you all for your support. Next are the three trump cards of this Cangyun Pavilion's trade fair." As she spoke, the woman waved her hand, and three treasures with sparkling spiritual light floated in front of her.
