Chapter 9 Golden-backed Mantis
Chapter 494 Golden-backed Mantis
In medium-sized auctions, those who come to participate in the auction are basically practitioners in the foundation building stage. Of course, occasionally there will be one or two golden elixir stage practitioners. The items auctioned above are basically usable by monks of this level. If they are in the Qi training stage
If you hold it in your hand, it is a fat sheep.
After all, cheap things will not go to auction, and things that are too expensive will not go to auction.
In the world of cultivation, most of the real high-end treasures are in the hands of high-level immortal cultivators. They will not easily put them up for auction. They are mostly traded in the form of exchange items. If you are not in this circle, you will not be able to access them at all.
, of course, this does not rule out the possibility that the low-level practitioner who got lucky got a valuable treasure and came to auction it, but that kind of auction will basically cause trouble, and without strong strength, it is impossible to save it.
There were still three days before the auction started, so Wang Chan, who had nothing to do, started wandering around the market. The products in Wanbao Pavilion basically got what you paid for, and they were only inflated, and there wasn't much to take advantage of.
If you really want to pick up leaks, you have to go to street stalls. Some unskilled casual cultivators will take some precious things and sell them at local stalls. This is basically something that many monks with amazing luck will encounter.
I don’t know if I have bad luck. After shopping for a few days, I didn’t find anything really valuable. Of course, it may be that my eyesight is not good enough. I can’t see the valuable treasures and the cheap ones.
I didn't even bother to put it in my storage bag.
In the past three days, except for buying a bunch of cheap monster corpses as fertilizer, I basically didn't spend any spiritual stones.
In the past three days, many monks came one after another. In addition to casual cultivators and immortal cultivating families, there were also monks from the six sects. Wang Chan also saw the monks from the Ghost Spirit Sect, all dressed in ugly clothes.
On the day when the auction started, the number of people reached its peak. When Wang Chan entered the box, the hall was already full of practitioners. The hundreds of people in the crowd could really be called a chaotic dance of demons.
, Of course, most of the people sitting in the hall are advanced Qi practitioners and practitioners in the early stages of foundation building. In order to avoid unnecessary fights caused by revealing their identities, the visitors basically cover their faces tightly.
In the box on the second floor, there are people with real background and strength, either the core monks of each sect, or some powerful casual cultivator.
Wang Chan was sitting in a box prepared in advance by Wanbao Pavilion. The other party specially arranged a beautiful servant for him to help bid. Of course, as long as you are willing to pay the spirit stone, it doesn't matter if you do something else.
Soon, the auction officially began. Wanbao Pavilion also specially invited an enchanting female cultivator to act as the auctioneer, which made a lot of male cultivators on and off the stage unable to move their eyes. However, thinking of Wanbao Pavilion,
Despite his identity, he suppressed his desire.
The strength of Wanbao Pavilion is no worse than that of the Six Sects. In Tiannan, many forces will give it face.
"Thank you for coming to participate in my Wanbao Pavilion's auction. You are all blessed this time. Not long ago, we just received several precious foundation-building pills. Therefore, we decided to treat these foundation-building pills as this auction.
This is one of the last few lots in the auction, and all fellow Taoists are welcome to actively participate in the bidding!"
Hearing that there was an auction for the Foundation Establishment Pill, the high-level Qi Refining monks below him began to breathe rapidly. Things like the Foundation Establishment Pill were always not for sale by major sects. I didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to encounter one today.
But Wang Chan, who was sitting in the box, felt a little speechless. The shopkeeper was selling the things he had just sold in front of him, so he was not afraid that he would be unhappy if the price was too high?
"I announce that this auction has officially begun. We would like to invite our first lot, a thousand-year-old seven-star grass. As we all know, seven-star grass is the raw material for making talisman paper, and this thousand-year-old seven-star grass
But it is extremely rare. The talisman paper he made can be used to make golden elixir talismans... Its starting price is five hundred spirit stones!"
Thousand-year-old seven-star grass is indeed one of the few good things, but the process of making talisman paper is relatively complicated, and one plant of seven-star grass cannot make several sheets.
Moreover, Jindan-level talismans require a strong person at the Jindan level to draw them. Ordinary casual cultivators do not have such a background. It would be too wasteful to refine talismans for ordinary monks. Therefore, the enthusiasm of the monks present for this auction was also
It's not high, but it was bought by a family of cultivators who specialized in making talismans for 550 spiritual stones.
"Next we want to invite our second auction item, a fourth-level monster turtle. It is an excellent material for refining armor-type magic weapons. The starting price is 500 spirit stones!"
The strength of a fourth-level monster is probably around the late stage of foundation building. Of course, it is a bit difficult to kill a fourth-level monster alone in the late stage of foundation building. It is only possible after several monks have arranged a formation.
Soon, after several rounds of bidding, the turtle shell was bought for 600 spirit stones. The complete fourth-level monster must have cost more than this price, and the most precious demon pill was probably sold as a sheet.
"This third item is a top-notch magic weapon, a dragon-patterned sword. The starting price is eight hundred spirit stones!"
"The fourth lot, a set of earth-based exercises, Earth Dragon Technique, starting price...eight hundred spirit stones!"
····
One treasure after another was sold, and under the auctioneer's impassioned speech, the things sold here seemed to be a bit more expensive than those sold at the counter of Wanbao Pavilion.
Wang Chan sat bored, completely disdainful of the auction items in front of her. The ones that could be used in the ordinary foundation building stage were usually these thousands of spirit stones. As for the Qi training stage, she could basically only think about it.
"Next, we are going to invite you to the fifteenth auction item, which is a pair of young spiritual insects. They are the golden-backed monster mantis that ranks seventy-three on the spiritual insect list!
And we also have some tips on raising spiritual insects. Although this golden-backed monster mantis is only ranked seventy-three, as long as it can be successfully cultivated to maturity, it will have a combat power no less than that of a sixth-order monster. If
It can be cultivated to the adult stage, but its combat power is comparable to that of Yuanying or even the transformed god!"
In a transparent box, two fist-sized mantises are constantly bumping against each other. There is a faint golden color on the back, and the two forearms are shaped like knives. You can tell at a glance that it is extraordinary.
Its appearance also made Wang Chan energetic in an instant. This was what he was waiting for.
"Infant Golden-backed Monster Mantis, starting price... one thousand spirit stones!"
"We, the Yuling Sect, offer one thousand one hundred spiritual stones!"
Not surprisingly, the first bidder was a late-stage foundation-builder from the Yuling Sect, one of the six demonic sects. The Yuling Sect’s special skills were beast control and insect rearing. For this famous spiritual insect on the list,
, naturally they are not willing to let it go. Although it takes a lot of resources to cultivate a pair of golden-backed monster mantises to the combat power of sixth-level monsters, it is equivalent to two more strong men at the golden elixir stage, which is not a loss.
.
The Yuling Sect made a bid, but none of the casual cultivators in the hall made a bid. Not to mention whether they dared to offend the Yuling Sect, but raising a golden-backed monster mantis to maturity would consume no less resources than cultivating a human.
Alchemy formed.
"Fifteen hundred spirit stones!"
