Chapter 228: No Bottom Line (Super Chapter)(1/2)
"Thirty thousand."
"Thirty-two thousand."
Obviously, there are many monks who are interested in Foundation Establishment Pill.
Chen Ping directly added two thousand to the base price, but a few people still participated decisively.
"Thirty-four thousand."
Seeing that the price had stopped for a few seconds, Chen Ping spoke again.
Several foundation builders who were bidding hesitated for a long time, then gave up and continued to compete.
After all, the price of a pattern-building foundation pill is generally around 30,000.
There is no need to worry about the elixir resources on Wangqin Island. Although second-grade elixirs of this type are rare, you can come across them once every few years. There is no need to spend high prices to buy them here.
"Thirty-five thousand!"
Just when Chen Ping thought he was safe and sound, a powerful voice came from the westmost column.
Looking around, he saw a short man wearing a red robe, whose cultivation was in the late stage of foundation building.
"Thirty-six thousand."
Chen Ping narrowed his eyes and shouted expressionlessly.
"Haha, this Taoist friend has amazing financial resources, so I won't follow you anymore."
The short cultivator in red robe was stunned for a moment, then he clasped his fists in the direction of Chen Ping and said openly.
"Thank you."
Chen Ping nodded to him and smiled.
When Xu Taohe shouted three times in a row, no one raised the price again.
So, he jumped from the column and paid the spirit stone.
After clearing his belongings, Chen Ping flew back to his seat.
Although the thirty-six thousand yuan to buy a line of Foundation-Building Pills is a small loss, it is still acceptable considering that he will leave Wangqin Island soon, and the channels for Foundation-Building Pills near the Chen Family Sea Area are almost cut off.
"Ancient alien species, a third-order bitter fern spiritual seedling..."
The next several items that Xu Taohe auctioned were not much different in value from the Foundation Establishment Pill, and their popularity seemed to be even higher.
Several treasures have attracted competition among cultivators.
After the Foundation Establishment Pill, nothing that Chen Ping needed appeared again, so in his spare time, he observed the main hall with great interest.
The focus fell on a few monks who made frequent bids.
Including the short cultivator in red robe who had competed with him for the Foundation Establishment Pill, there were at least three or four suspicious cultivators.
They all made the same move.
When the price of a certain treasure approaches the limit, someone will pop up and raise the price by half a percent.
Moreover, a few people paid special attention to propriety and only raised the price by a small amount, so that competitors felt that it was still within a reasonable range of acceptance.
Once the price exceeds 10% or 20% of the treasure itself, these weird guys will immediately shut up.
The auction was coming to an end, but a few of the very active people had never actually taken a photo of a treasure.
"Hey, are you a monk who works for the Xu family?"
Carefully releasing his consciousness, Chen Ping took a quick peek at the faces of those people, and then Chen Ping smiled coldly.
Now, he has been able to confirm that these people were hired by the Xu family, or even pretended to be members of the Xu family.
For no other reason than that, they conceal their true appearance without exception.
The old god was staring at Xu Taohe, but Chen Ping was not prepared to reveal the truth.
Take commissions, act as trustees, and maximize profits.
These are also the two main reasons why forces with a little capital are rushing to hold auctions.
Chen Ping felt that there was nothing wrong with this matter. When the Chen family becomes stronger in the future, they will inevitably follow the trend and trick outsiders.
Of course, you must not go too far with your entrustment. If it exceeds the bottom line, it will not be acceptable to him.
"The grand finale auction will be a fierce and bloody battle later."
Chen Ping raised his eyebrows and thought.
Although the third-level formation is something he covets, if the price is ridiculously high, he will not foolishly throw the spiritual stones into it.
…
When the last ordinary auction item was also sold, Xu Taohe paused for a moment, looked serious, and said: "I, Senior Xu Yuehuan, the supreme elder of the Xu family, should be familiar to you. She is not only a Yuandan monk,
He is also a well-known formation master."
"The final treasure of this auction is the third-level formation that she worked hard to create, the Ultimate Heavenly Thunder Formation!"
"This formation is mainly for killing. The sixteen formation flags are all made of third-level thunder attribute ores, which are extremely powerful."
"The Formation Flag Embryo was once brought to the Dual Heaven by the Supreme Elder, and was baptized with Wuwu Purple Thunder for a whole year, which raised the attack of the formation to a higher level. During the foundation building, monks broke in at a later stage.
A single thunder spell can kill them."
"Even late-stage Yuan Dan monks who do not have mutated thunder spirit roots cannot directly compete with it."
After Xu Taohe introduced a few words quickly and neatly, his body suddenly swayed and the figure suddenly moved to the audience, leaving the vast platform empty.
Immediately afterwards, there was only a slight "creak" sound, and the door of the side hall opened a gap, and more than a dozen purple phantoms overflowing with spiritual power flew out in succession, each dragging a long silk thread, crackling and crackling, and a
Thunder and lightning as thick as an arm spurted out from it!
"What a powerful thunder attribute aura."
One after another, spiritual consciousness spiraled out from the column, and one after another probed towards the dozens of formation flags wrapped in thunder and lightning.
Chen Ping suppressed the spirit, followed the others to sense it, and thought to himself: "It is indeed a third-level formation. The aura of the formation flag alone is no less than that of a foundation-building monk."
The Jiyi Tianlei Formation itself is a third-level formation, and the derived attack is the most lethal and supreme thunder method.
In terms of pure destructive power, it is indeed much stronger than ordinary third-level formations.
"disease."
Xu Yuehuan uttered a word, and immediately, ripple-like electric lights were outlined from the sixteen purple formation flags, which spread instantly and directly enveloped the entire hall.
This scene did not change the expressions of the monks in the temple. Instead, they used their methods in tacit understanding to capture a trace of the power of thunder and lightning.
Xu Yuehuan's move was just to let everyone truly feel the pressure of the formation.
It is inconvenient to directly display the power of the formation. After all, it may take months or even years to set up a level 3 formation.
Moreover, with the third-level formation fully activated, the resources consumed by each breath will be staggering.
By sensing the attacks released by the formation flag, cultivators can also roughly judge the quality of the formation.
After a short while, Xu Yuehuan removed the spiritual power from the formation flag.
Sixteen identical five-inch-long formation flags were suspended in mid-air.
The whole body is dark purple in color, its surface is carved with dragons and phoenixes, and its sharp corners are smooth and extremely delicate.
Then, Xu Taohe jumped back on the platform and said with a smile: "Fellow Taoists, please rest assured that the Jiyi Tianlei Formation is definitely a genuine third-level formation. If there is even the slightest bit of fraud, our Xu family is willing to compensate twice the transaction price."
Spiritual stone."
"Now, the grand finale auction officially begins. A set of Ultimate Heavenly Thunder Formation. The base price is 100,000 spirit stones. The increase in price shall not be less than 5,000!"
"One hundred and five thousand!"
"One hundred and ten thousand!"
"One hundred and twenty thousand spiritual stones!"
…
The reputation of the third-level formation is indeed not small. Before Chen Ping opened his mouth, the monks on the column could not wait to quote several high prices one after another.
"One hundred and thirty thousand!"
At the very front of the hall, a monk whose whole body was shrouded in green smoke sat quietly there. It was impossible to see through the lineup, but judging from his voice, he should be a rather old man.
"Old man Mo, you are too stingy. Each time you increase the price by 5,000, the minimum price limit is 5,000. The Mo family runs several shops and makes a lot of money. This is not in line with your wealthy style!"
A female cultivator in blue clothes covered her mouth and laughed. After that, she also cast a few winks in the direction of the green smoke.
Judging from the way she revealed the origin of the old man at a glance, it was obvious that she was familiar with him before.
"Ms. Qiao, please stop irritating me with your words. Your Qiao family is one of the top foundation-building families in the Goddess City. Since you heard the news and came to participate in the auction, you must have come for the Ultimate Heavenly Thunder Formation. Why are you so late?
What if we don’t bid to compete?”
"Why, do you still want to pick up the missing items at the auction?"
As the smoke fluctuated, the old man's voice sounded again.
"My Yuan family is bound to win the third-level formation. No matter when we join in to snatch it, the result will be the same."
The woman in blue clothes smiled slightly, and there was a sense of confidence in her words.
"Haha, you Qiaojia are too confident, don't you take the cultivators on the field seriously?"
The green smoke trembled violently, then calmed down quickly, and the old man made a dark sarcastic comment.
"I'm too lazy to talk to you. I'll see you later."
The female cultivator surnamed Qiao stretched her body lazily and smiled seductively.
The auction process obviously will not stop because of the bickering between the two. At this time, the price of the formation has reached 140,000.
When an unknown monk shouted the high price of "150,000", the few people who had been following the price suddenly stopped.
"One hundred and fifty-five thousand."
