Chapter 113 A Lively Auction

After buying the fifth-tier puppet, Ye Xiaobai felt it was still not enough. He felt it wasn't enough to deal with Core Formation stage cultivators, so he decided to buy a sixth-tier puppet to feel at ease.

"Boss, how many spirit stones does that sixth-tier puppet cost?" Ye Xiaobai wanted to know the price in advance so he could prepare accordingly.

"At the last auction, a sixth-tier flying tiger puppet sold for 50 spirit stones. If you want one, you'll need to prepare at least that many spirit stones!"

"Thank you for letting me know, boss!"

Ye Xiaobai didn't even bother to lament the high price and left Qianji Store directly.

Having just left the Thousand Machines Shop, Ye Xiaobai couldn't help but exclaim, "A sixth-tier puppet is indeed incredibly expensive!"

Especially for Ye Xiaobai, who had just bought a fifth-tier puppet, his storage bag only contained tens of thousands of spirit stones, which was a drop in the bucket compared to 500,000 spirit stones.

With no other option, Ye Xiaobai had to sell the rarely used magical artifacts and other weapons from his storage bag.

After buying them, they still hadn't raised enough spirit stones to reach 100,000, so they had to rely on selling pills again.

Fortunately, the Alchemist Alliance had provided a batch of materials for fourth-tier pills, and Ye Xiaobai had already refined a batch. He originally planned to give them to Miaodanfang, but it seems he will have to make do with them himself for now.

Ye Xiaobai then found a pill shop and sold all the pills he didn't need. With the addition of some mid-grade Jade Liquid Condensation Pills, he barely managed to raise 400,000 spirit stones.

Ye Xiaobai had no choice but to sell a few bottles of high-grade Jade Liquid Foundation Condensation Pills, which was the only way he could raise 500,000 spirit stones.

When the manager of the Pill Pavilion witnessed Ye Xiaobai take out several bottles of high-grade Jade Liquid Foundation Condensation Pills, he was astonished, his mouth agape as if an egg could fit inside!

He stared wide-eyed at these incredibly precious, crystal-clear pills, inwardly marveling, "This...this is actually a top-grade Jade Liquid Foundation Condensation Pill? I haven't seen such high-quality pills in years!"

Immediately afterward, as if driven by an invisible force, the shopkeeper eagerly stepped forward and asked with a look of anticipation, "Young master, do you have any more of these superior-grade Jade Liquid Foundation Condensation Pills?"

His voice trembled slightly with excitement, and his eyes gleamed with greed.

However, when pressed by the shopkeeper, Ye Xiaobai shook his head without hesitation, explaining that he needed to keep some pills on hand for his daily cultivation, so it was impossible for him to sell all of the Jade Liquid Foundation Condensation Pills.

Ye Xiaobai said firmly, "I'm sorry, shopkeeper, these pills are the limit I can provide. After all, I also need to consider my own cultivation."

After raising 500,000, Ye Xiaobai immediately left the Pill Pavilion. The manager chased after him, wanting Ye Xiaobai to join, but Ye Xiaobai refused outright.

With the spirit stones ready, Ye Xiaobai immediately headed to the auction.

Having already learned the exact location from the owner of Qianji Pavilion, Ye Xiaobai quickly arrived at his destination—Wuhu Auction House.

After paying the 100 spirit stones entrance fee, Ye Xiaobai immediately entered the auction house.

Upon entering, a spacious and ornately decorated hall came into view.

Ye Xiaobai glanced around and saw that it could accommodate about a thousand people. The auction hadn't started yet, but people were gradually entering.

Ye Xiaobai found his seat and sat down, waiting for the game to begin.

At least there are seats this time; last time I attended the auction, I had to stand.

Before long, the once somewhat empty venue became crowded and packed with people.

Just then, a circular platform slowly rose in the center of the venue, and a young woman dressed in a dark blue palace dress appeared in everyone's sight.

The young woman was graceful and voluptuous, her long, royal blue dress perfectly outlining her curvaceous figure, making her look like a stunning work of art.

Such stunning beauty and captivating charm instantly drew the attention of everyone present, especially the male guests, whose eyes were held captive by a magnet, unable to look away from this beautiful woman even for a moment.

Without a doubt, the young woman in the dark blue palace dress was the host of this auction—Lan Yue'e.

Ye Xiaobai couldn't help but admire the auction house's clever tactics. By having such a sexy beauty host the auction, even an ordinary magic artifact could generate a frenzy of bidding and fetch a high price.

Ye Xiaobai suddenly realized that he didn't have enough spirit stones in his storage bag.

"Alright, fellow Daoists, today's auction is about to begin!" Lan Yue'e announced loudly with a beaming smile.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately fell silent.

"Very good, very good! I'm sure I'll be able to buy my favorite item later!" Lan Yue'e said with a smile, while also winking at the crowd.

Immediately, the crowd in front of Lan Yue'e began to scream wildly!

"oh--!"

"Yue'e winked at me, she must have fallen in love with me!" A young cultivator stood up excitedly and shouted.

"Nonsense, Yue'e is just flirting with me, don't overthink it!" another cultivator argued.

"It's me, don't talk nonsense!"

"it's me!"

"it's me!"

The crowd below the stage immediately started making noise, but their passion was also completely ignited.

"What's a little extra spirit stones for someone you like?"

"I have to spend these spirit stones! What am I working so hard to earn spirit stones for? Isn't it just to make a beauty smile?"

"Don't try to take it from me, it's all up to me to see how I perform next!"

Some people in the audience were already shouting like madmen.

Low-level cultivators are easily influenced by others, and Ye Xiaobai almost wanted to do something for Lan Yue'e after hearing this.

Thinking that he still needed his spirit stones to buy a sixth-tier puppet, Ye Xiaobai calmed down and realized that his Dao heart was unstable!

Lan Yue'e looked at the crowd's frenzied state and a satisfied smile appeared on her lips.

After a moment, Lan Yue'e waved her hand to signal everyone to be quiet: "Fellow Daoists, quiet down! The auction has officially begun!"

"The first item up for auction—the top-grade magic artifact, the Wind and Cloud Fan, starting bid 800 spirit stones! Each bid must be at least 50 spirit stones higher!"

"900 Spiritual Stones!"

"1000 Spiritual Stones!"

……

After a round of bidding, seeing that no one was raising the price, Lan Yue'e immediately exclaimed in a regretful voice, "It's such a pity that such a top-quality magic weapon is being sold at such a low price!"

His eyes were full of helplessness and frustration.

"I'll offer 1500 spirit stones! I want this top-grade magic weapon!" Upon hearing Lan Yue'e's words, a young man immediately stood up and shouted.

"1600 Spiritual Stones!"

"I'll offer two thousand spirit stones!" a man dressed in magnificent white robes shouted.

At this point, no one raised the price anymore. A top-grade magic weapon worth only about a thousand spirit stones was actually auctioned off for two thousand spirit stones. Ye Xiaobai was also shocked by Lan Yue'e's ability.

Next came some spiritual artifacts and cultivation techniques, which weren't of much use to Ye Xiaobai at the moment, so he didn't pay much attention to them. However, Lan Yue'e still sold the items for prices far exceeding their intrinsic value.
