Chapter 543 - 531: Auctioning the Furnace, Wealthy Dog (Supplement for Yesterday)_2
Ruyue carried a faint, pure smile.
Lu Xuanji cursed inwardly, "Shameless."
What good ending? To become a furnace, if luck is bad, they’ll be drained once and perish; if worse, they become slave girls to some cultivators.
Golden Core Cultivators, no matter where they are, hold high status and authority, and are esteemed.
But here, they are reduced to furnaces, merchandise to be auctioned, their dignity trampled beneath feet, at anyone’s mercy.
It could be said to be a fate worse than death.
If one encounters strangers, that’s not too bad; but if one meets acquaintances, it’s truly mortifying.
"This girl is truly a Fairy descended, twelve hundred Spirit Stones." In a private room on the second floor, a man’s bid rang out.
No sooner had the man made his bid than someone else placed a bid, with the price continually rising.
Soon, it reached one thousand Spirit Stones.
The bidder was a black-clad man on the third floor.
The male cultivator was furious, "One thousand Spirit Stones! Let’s see who dares to compete with me?"
"Eleven hundred!"
"Twelve hundred! Add more if you have the guts!"
Just then, a voice spoke, it was Lu Xuanji.
Instantly, the venue fell silent.
The crowd was silent.
The price was rather high; many people couldn’t afford it. Even the second-generation cultivators hesitated, weighing whether it was worth it.
Ruyue smiled slightly, her pure eyes scanning around, hoping someone would offer a higher price.
Unfortunately, twelve hundred Spirit Stones frightened many.
In this era, the poor are still the majority.
After a while, no one continued to bid, and finally, the blue-clad woman was sent to that private room.
The crystal curtain on the stage was lowered again, Ruyue’s delicate body trembled, her chest heaving lightly, she giggled, "Congratulations to Daoist for winning the first prize, and congratulations to Song Wei for finding a good master."
"The second up is Zhao Yu’Er, from the Zhao Family of Qi Country. Not long ago, the Zhao Family offended the Sansanyue Sect and was exterminated. Zhao Yu’Er is not only extraordinarily beautiful but also possesses a supreme famous artifact. Whether used as a dual cultivation furnace or cultivated slowly as a personal maid, she is the top choice. Our starting bid is only one thousand Spirit Stones..."
Ruyue introduced with a smile, and the crystal curtain opened again.
Immediately, a gentle woman in a white dress appeared before everyone’s eyes.
The white dress swayed in the wind, the hem rose and fell at times. Her ethereal eyes were quiet, her cold outline exuding a transcendental charm. Her attire was as white as snow, her long hair like ink, her slender figure stood straight, her aura elegant and ethereal, like an exiled fairy on the Celestial Palace. Her beauty was even above the previous female cultivator. Although her cultivation was bound, the venue was in an uproar, as Zhao Yu’Er’s cultivation had reached the half-step Nascent Soul!
Everyone was astounded, this was a half-step Nascent Soul.
In Qi Country, a giant like Shunas, yet captured here, her fate was dismal.
"Twenty thousand Spirit Stones."
In the topmost VIP room, a cultivator directly bid, doubling the price.
"I bid twenty-five thousand Spirit Stones." Another VIP room also started bidding.
From a room in the west, a voice said solemnly, "Thirty thousand Spirit Stones."
Hearing his bid, the crowd fell silent, some cultivators had a look of regret in their eyes.
It’s said this young master’s cultivation of a demonic technique required top-tier female cultivators.
"I bid forty thousand Spirit Stones. Zhao Yu’Er is the woman I admire, I hope Daoist friend will be lenient," said a cultivator from a VIP room.
In that room, a cultivator said, "Forty-two thousand Spirit Stones. If Daoist raises the bid, I will choose to give up!"
"Fifty thousand Spirit Stones!"
Lu Xuanji spoke up, "I’m so poor that all I have left are Spirit Stones!"
The cultivator in the room snorted coldly, "Daoist friend, don’t go too far! You’ve already snatched two furnaces."
"Haha, I’m wealthy and willing!"
Lu Xuanji said.
The bidding cultivator fell silent, furrowing his brow, he finally did not continue bidding.
Continuing to bid was not worth it.
"Next up, the third candidate, Lin Weiwei!"
Ruyue continued the auction.
The third, fourth, fifth, sixth... Numerous furnaces appeared in succession.
Lu Xuanji kept bidding, buying them outright.
Since he had Mobile Banking, he was never short of Top-Grade Spirit Stones; currently, with two hundred thousand Spirit Stones in his pocket, he could afford to buy these female cultivators.
"Daoist friend, please give us some face!"
At this moment, some cultivators couldn’t help but speak up.
"Fellow Daoists, I cultivate the Joyful Union Demon Technique and just need furnaces, please give me face. As for next time, you can decide then?" Lu Xuanji said, the world around him activating Yin Yang Transformation, the Yin Yang Qi circulating on his body, disguising himself as a demon cultivator.
These female furnace cultivators, regardless of looks, temperament, or cultivation, were top-notch; the first five were Golden Core cultivation, but the latter three were Nascent Soul female cultivators.
"Hehe, number nine furnace, is a demon cultivator, with the Simurgh Phoenix Dao Body, after enduring long term dual cultivation, the benefits to cultivators are significant..." Ruyue said: "The starting price is ten thousand Spirit Stones!"
Then the curtain was drawn, revealing a tall woman, her eyes like the dark night exuding endless allure; her beautiful face, crafted with divine artistry, her overall shape perfectly curved, like a legendary creation, clad in a red dress, her form accentuating perfect curves, majestic yet fitting just right.
"I bid fifteen thousand!"
"Twenty thousand Spirit Stones!"
Lu Xuanji spoke up.
The crowd was all silent, it was too costly.
A Primordial Spirit Pill costs only five thousand Spirit Stones at most.
Twenty thousand Spirit Stones, it was enough to crush everyone’s mental pressure.
"Twenty thousand once!"
"Twenty thousand twice!"
"Twenty thousand three times!"
"Congratulations Daoist friend, for winning the beauty!"
Ruyue continued.
A moment later, Ruyue spoke up, "Next, we’ll auction the tenth furnace, also this auction’s grand finale female furnace, she’s the only Divinity Transformation Furnace among them."
With applause, four maids carried an item to the stage, covered by a red cloth.
The maids retreated.
Ruyue unveiled the red cloth, revealing a red crystal beneath it, within was a red-clothed woman, wearing armor, looking like a female War God. But there was a blood stain on her chest, a huge wound. Overall, it seemed quite sorrowful.
Ruyue said, "A fellow Daoist discovered this sealed woman inside a secret realm, and then sold her to our Treasure Pavilion."
"According to our investigation, this female cultivator possesses the Nine Yin Dao Body, during her first dual cultivation with a man, her body will receive half of his magical power, refining it progressively, long-term dual cultivation will yield great benefits. However, this furnace is gravely injured, she might perish once the crystal is opened!"
"A reminder for everyone. If you can heal her injuries, you might gain a top-tier furnace; if not, she’ll just be a corpse. Fellow Daoists, purchase cautiously! The starting bid is merely ten thousand Spirit Stones!"
At this moment, everyone fell silent.
The risk was considerable,
Nobody spoke up initially.
"Fifteen thousand Spirit Stones!" a male cultivator opened bidding.
"Twenty thousand Spirit Stones!" another cultivator shouted.
"Thirty thousand Spirit Stones, all I have left in my pocket!" At this moment, Lu Xuanji spoke, "If anyone bids over thirty thousand, they can directly buy it!"
The crowd rolled their eyes, turning silent.
This is thirty thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones, not thirty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, no one knew where this nouveau riche came from.
If in other places, after the auction ends, he would not mind killing for treasure, robbing them.
But Treasure Pavilion is renowned for its integrity, using a teleportation array to escape, even catching a glimpse is impossible.
In the end, Lu Xuanji bought the Divinity Transformation Furnace for thirty thousand Spirit Stones.
Altogether, he spent eighty thousand Spirit Stones on buying furnaces, truly lavish.
