"Okay!" Yang Di responded simply. With one Void Transformation Pill and a more extensive set of alchemy manuals, it was quite worthwhile.
Then, the woman used a blank spiritual scroll to engrave all the patterns in the book and handed it to him.
After Yang Di got it in his hand, he just browsed it briefly and was ecstatic. This book contained at least thousands of prescriptions that he didn't know yet.
When the auction was coming to an end, under the gaze of countless people, an old man with an unattractive appearance and wearing coarse linen clothes slowly walked onto the high platform.
"The show has begun!" Wei Zhongtian, a bad old man, was very excited, his old eyes shining.
"Is the legendary ancient stone in the hands of that old man?" Yang Di was also surprised and began to pay serious attention.
But obviously, the news about the Taikoo Stone was no longer a secret. As soon as the old man came on stage, the surrounding area instantly became quiet. Everyone was waiting for the legendary Taikoo Stone to make its stunning appearance.
Unexpectedly, after tinkering for a long time, the old man slowly took out an oval stone about the size of a palm and placed it on the high platform.
The appearance of the stone was dark and pitted, and there was nothing magical about it. It looked more like a pebble picked up from a river.
"Is this the legendary ancient stone?"
This kind of presentation immediately made the audience boo. There was no Baohui, no sunshine, and the ugly and stubborn stone was obviously still on the roadside, and no one was willing to pick it up.
"Why do you feel like you're being deceived?" Ning Yunzhu curled her lips, thinking that everyone had been fooled.
However, at the moment when the dim and stubborn stone fell to the ground, many people around him had solemn expressions, especially the strong men with some attainments in swordsmanship, who were full of energy.
Yang Di was also confused at first, but after being reminded by the old Taoist, he felt the meaning of the sword in his heart. Sure enough, the next moment, the stone he saw in his eyes completely changed.
It was like a skylight appeared there, and the light and shadow inside were deep and mysterious, as if the red light of heaven and earth was flowing. After a while, it seemed like stars and rivers were flowing all over the sky, with a primitive and mysterious charm.
"It is indeed a superior Chaos Sword Embryo." The man with extraordinary arrogance said in surprise.
"I originally thought it was the land where the Heavenly Sword Sect once worshiped the sword, but it doesn't look like it..." The beautiful woman also whispered, with the light and shadow of the mountains and rivers flowing in her beautiful eyes.
The bad old man Wei Zhongtian stood aside, even more excited. At the same time, hearing the conversation between the mysterious Taoist couple, his heart became increasingly difficult to calm down.
In the past, there was a mysterious Chaos Sword Embryo in the Heavenly Sword Sect's Sword Worshiping Holy Land, which was regarded as a sacred object of the sect. However, later, the strange stone disappeared, and the Heavenly Sword Sect was torn apart.
These are all records in ancient books, but as the successor of the Yunxiao Sword Technique for later generations, the old man can't help but miss him for a while.
"This ancient stone contains the finest Chaos Sword Embryo. I won't talk nonsense about its value. I hope to exchange it for two portions of the Holy Medicine!"
The old man in sackcloth stood on the stage, looked around, and made his request.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone on the scene vomited blood, and their faces were all black. Holy medicine? You want two copies. Does this old man dare to be more outrageous?
In fact, no one has the final say as to how much a holy medicine, elixir, or treasure medicine should be. There are specific standards.
Generally speaking, only when the complete medicinal properties of the medicine are maintained can it be called a serving.
For example, one portion of herbal medicines is almost one plant. Only a few herbal medicines can leave roots and continue to cultivate them.
Trees and vines are relatively loose, and most do not need to be uprooted. The main trunk or fruit collected can also have complete medicinal properties and be regarded as one portion.
Therefore, if you press the old man and ask for two portions of the holy medicine, you won't just give him two leaves. It will take two red-blood demon fruits like the one in Yang Di's hand to reach the standard.
This kind of request is simply unacceptable. Once the holy medicine is collected, it may take hundreds or thousands of years to collect it a second time. If there is any, it cannot be given away easily.
Facing the doubts in the audience, the old man in sackcloth was obviously a little disappointed. Some of the big customers he was expecting didn't seem to buy the deal.
"At this juncture, even the forces that possess the holy medicine must keep it to prepare for the opening of the ancient secret realm after the Dao Fighting Conference. How can it be taken out? Your Excellency is a bit fanciful!"
An old man in gray robes sneered mercilessly and pointed out the key. No one present felt that this seller could get what he wanted, even if it was a holy medicine, he could not get it.
"Young man, are you willing to exchange your red blood demon fruit?"
The old man in sackcloth pondered for a moment, and then looked towards Yang Di with bright eyes, because someone had just obtained a genuine holy fruit from the pair of Taoists.
"I won't change it." Yang Di rolled his eyes without thinking. Not to mention that he now knew the meaning of this red blood demon fruit to him. Even if he didn't know, he would definitely not change it.
For alchemists, holy medicine is a springboard for miracles, and there is no reason to give it away to others.
"Fellow Taoist disciples, are you willing to exchange for the holy medicine?" The old man then looked at an area in the crowd.
There, several Taoist elders had appeared for a long time, but they had never participated in the previous auctions. The only purpose of their coming here was to obtain the Chaos Sword Embryo.
But even so, the leader of the clan elders shook his head with a smile: "No!"
"Haha!" Everyone laughed, but at the same time many people were also frightened. The Taoist sect had a terrifying background. Sure enough, there was a collection of holy medicines, but they just didn't want to take them out.
This is normal. How to use that thing is a big deal for the entire sect. Most of the time, it has to be left to the Dao Ancestors to continue their lives...
The old man in sackcloth frowned, and then he realized that he had indeed overestimated the appeal of this ancient stone. Just now he saw that the young man exchanged seven pills for a holy fruit, so he came up with the idea of temporarily increasing the price.
idea.
But in the end, no one was willing to provide even a portion of the holy medicine.
"Fellow Taoist, don't think about the holy medicine. There are still a few holy medicines in this world. I'm afraid I can count them on my fingers. Even if the head of the ancient cultivator family is about to die, he may not be qualified to use them to extend his life. Why?
Maybe leave it to you?" Elder Jiang Huangfei shook his head with a smile.
"Okay, let's just snap up the bid. The one with the highest price will get it. Let's start with one hundred copies of the primary elixir." The old man in Mai sighed and agreed to give up the request for the elixir and instead use the most common method.
Decide on ownership.
It's just that the starting price he offered still left many people present speechless. Many people came to see the excitement and thought the old man's price was a bit outrageous.
Sword cultivation is not considered mainstream in this world. Almost all of the nine ancient cultivating families, such as the Nine Ancient Cultivation Families, will not spend too much money on it.
The biggest potential buyer is probably the Taoist sect, because there is an independent sword hall in the Taoist sect. Otherwise, the thing may not be so popular.
As expected, the people from several parties who even had the idea of competing for the price were a little embarrassed, and those powerful Taoists also frowned.
One hundred primary treasures, even from a Taoist sect that cultivates fresh treasures, an ancient cultivating family would have to collect them for a long time to obtain.
Although the growth cycle of treasure medicine is not as exaggerated as that of holy medicine, it still takes at least several years.
The key is, what kind of consumables are consumed by their respective disciples every day. For example, the Taoist sect and the ancient cultivator family have specialized people who prepare them into various spiritual liquids and distribute them to the clan members regularly. If it is cut off, then
A fire breaks out in the backyard of your own home.
"One hundred servings of precious medicine is equivalent to the consumption of our Jiang family for two years." Jiang Tingting curled her lips and said. There are tens of thousands of people in the Jiang family's ancestral land, and their monthly consumption is quite astonishing.
It's like this. Two years of consumption is worth the old man's one stone.
"You really are robbing people!" Here, Wei Zhongtian, a bad old man, was sweating furiously. The starting price was set so high that he was really speechless.
"Forget it, since our Taoist sect is interested in this thing, we can only pay a small amount of money. Your Excellency requires a hundred copies of the primary treasure medicine. We are willing to accept this price!" After pondering for a moment, it was the Taoist sect's strong man who took the lead to break the silence.
The elder who took the lead decided to accept the offer after discussing with those around him.
"Old man, how much do you have in your pocket?" Yang Di glanced at the bad old man and asked.
"I only prepared forty pieces of primary treasure medicine chips." Wei Zhongtian said with a guilty conscience.
"I'll go, so insincere!" Yang Di complained. He asked for a hundred copies, but the old man didn't even prepare half of the chips, so he had the nerve to grab it?
"That's why... young man, you, a rich man, need to put in more efforts..." The old man was very embarrassed. After arriving, he also realized that his little chips were uncompetitive. Fortunately, he managed to win over a big man in time.
Sponsored by wealthy people.
Originally, this competition should be quite fierce. However, the ancient stone was determined to be the Chaos Sword Embryo in advance, which made many people choose to give up. Although the treasure is good, if it is not used, it is not worth the effort to fight for it.
.
In addition, in view of the high price of the 100% precious medicine that the old man in sackcloth opened his mouth to prescribe, some people were also deterred, and it was obvious that they could not bear the price.
This caused the Taoist sect to bid, but no one followed the price for a long time. Just as the old man had guessed before, the biggest competitor for this treasure this time would be the apparent leader in the Taoist world. This is a lot of pressure.
Ah, he himself doesn’t have the confidence anymore.
"Okay, as promised before, snatch that thing back and keep it for me to keep." Yang Di thought about it and laughed.
Then, he asked the crazy girl to bid.
"Can you add twenty servings at a time?" Ning Yunzhu asked with her eyes wide open.
"No, just add up to five servings at a time." Yang Di and Wei Zhongtian wiped away the sweat. They were precious medicine, not radish.
"We'll give out 105 copies!"
Ning Yunzhu nodded and shouted to the stage with a smile. She had been to auction houses in big cities in the past, but she didn't think the auctions held by monks were as interesting as this.
Those antiques and jewelry have no clear value. If rich people buy them back, they seem to be just for decoration.
But the things that the monks are buying and selling now are all based on their use value and are not frivolous.
