Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Auction

Not long after, on Xiangyun Mountain, Bai Xiaochun limped, his hair stood up, his face was a little black, and he crawled back into the yard with palpitations.

It's not flying, it's going to play with your life!

Inside the wooden house, Bai Xiaochun grinned, and it took a long time to settle down, sitting cross-legged on the bed, looking at the wind and rain outside the window, his inner cultivation was slowly wandering, circulating all over his body.

"The second-order elixir is suitable for condensing qi below the eighth layer, if you want to continue to improve your cultivation, you can only refine the third-order elixir. Bai Xiaochun groaned with his chin on his chin.

"The difficulty of the third-order elixir must be extremely high, and it will only be safe after you are familiar with a large number of second-order elixirs, otherwise, the foundation will be unstable, and the success will not be very certain. Bai Xiaochun opened the storage bag, looked at his savings, and sighed, he had received a lot of gifts by virtue of his status as a glorious disciple before.

It's just that the cost of refining medicine these days is just as terrifying, although his alchemy habits are very economical, but his savings have still decreased a lot at the moment.

"It's not going to work like this, there's always a time when it's going to run out. Bai Xiaochun lowered his head and pondered.

"I'm a very powerful medicine apprentice now, I can go and sell the medicine I have refined. Bai Xiaochun thought of this, he was immediately excited, and when the next morning, when the rain outside stopped, he immediately left his residence and went to Shanxiafang City to investigate, and after learning about the price of the pill, he bought a large number of herbs, and even took the contribution to the sect to exchange some of it.

Then he returned to the Medicine Refining Pavilion and began to refine medicine.

He didn't refine the second-order elixir, although the price was higher, it could consume a lot, and Bai Xiaochun knew his habit that once he refined the pill, it would take too long.

So he chose the first-order elixir he was most familiar with, and a few days later, he refined three elixirs of eight or nine grains each, as well as two spiritual incense, and then went down the mountain to Fang City.

The scale of the Fang market on the south bank of the Lingxi Sect is not large, except for the elders of the sect and some powerful inner disciples who can own shops, most of them are opened by the Xiuzhen family in Donglinzhou.

Just like a small town, on weekdays, the inner and outer disciples of the three mountains on the south bank of the Lingxi Sect come in and out here, it is very lively, Bai Xiaochun has been here many times, and at this moment, he is familiar with walking in the market, entering a pharmacy, coughing dryly, and immediately the guy in the pharmacy hurriedly stepped forward.

"Call your shopkeeper, this time I will not only buy herbs, but also sell some pills. Bai Xiaochun sat on the chair and said with a smile.

After a short time, a middle-aged man in a purple robe walked briskly and saw Bai Xiaochun with a smile on his face.

"Bai Daoyou, in Xia Sun Chen, I have long heard about many brilliant things about Bai Daoyou, and I didn't take the initiative to visit you for fear of disturbing Daoyou, no wonder. The middle-aged man smiled lovely, sat next to Bai Xiaochun, hugged his fists and said, for Bai Xiaochun here, he didn't dare to offend, knowing that the other party's status in the sect was transcendent, especially the identity of the glorious disciple, so that the family he belonged to, even if there was a hundred-year covenant with the head of the sect, he still wanted to please.

Bai Xiaochun laughed, exchanged politeness with the middle-aged man, and then took out three medicine bottles and the two spiritual incense sticks and put them on the table.

"Sun Daoyou, let's estimate it. Bai Xiaochun lifted his chin.

Sun Chen picked up these pills with a smile, and after reading them one by one, his expression showed surprise, although these first-order pills are all low-grade, and the impurities occupy eighty percent and one or two, but they are infinitely close to the middle grade, unlike the pills they purchased before, they are also low-grade, but the impurities are eighty percent or four-five.

"Brother Bai's medicine is exquisite, my Sun family wants all these elixirs, so let's do it, how about the price of one hundred and twenty spirit stones?" Sun Chen glanced up at Bai Xiaochun, and his eyes gradually brightened.

Bai Xiaochun was immediately pleasantly surprised, this price was almost one elixir equivalent to four spirit stones, which was already the highest among the first-order lower grade pills.

In fact, the cost, on average, one pill is only one and a half spirit stones.

With a happy mood, Bai Xiaochun and Sun Chen handed over a handover, Sun Chen had a good intention, the two talked very happily, and in the end, after agreeing to send another elixir, Bai Xiaochun did not ask for spirit stones, but exchanged for the same herbs, and then left satisfied.

Time passed, and several months passed quickly, and in the past few months, in addition to refining first-order elixirs to sell and exchange for a large number of herbs, Bai Xiaochun was still constantly familiar with the refining of various second-order elixirs.

Gradually, he became more proficient in refining second-order elixirs.

At the same time, the cooperation with the Sun family pharmacy has become more and more stable, almost all of his pills were bought by the Sun family pharmacy, on this day, Bai Xiaochun took out a few bottles of elixir in the Sun family pharmacy, and exchanged them for plants and trees, when chatting with Sun Chen, Sun Chen said with emotion.

"Brother Bai, with your alchemy attainments, why don't you refine some second-order elixirs, in three months, there will be an auction of hundreds of schools here every few years, if Brother Bai can refine the second-order elixir at that time, Sun can arrange an auction, and the price will definitely be a lot more. Sun Chen looked at Bai Xiaochun, in the past few months of contact, he found that Bai Xiaochun had a very cheerful personality, and was a smooth person, and he was very happy to make friends with each other, so he suggested.

Bai Xiaochun has also heard of the 100 auctions held once every few years, which is an auction held by hundreds of Xiuzhen families in Donglinzhou, a total of three auctions were held, the first one was selected in Bei'anfang City, the second was in Nan'anfang City, and the last one was held in Donglin City, the largest monk city in Donglinzhou.

Bai Xiaochun has been in the Lingxi Sect for several years, and this auction has been held once before, but at that time, he had just become an outer disciple, and he was busy eating Lingwei chicken, so he was not interested in the auction.

After inquiring about the time when the auction would be held on the south bank, Bai Xiaochun said goodbye to Sun Chen, returned to the Medicine Refining Pavilion, sat there cross-legged and thought about it, and made a decision.

What Sun Chen said makes sense, instead of selling little by little like this, it is better to take this opportunity to sell at a good price at once, so that you can exchange for more cherished plants and trees. Thinking of this, Bai Xiaochun had a second-order elixir in his mind, and finally chose ...... He was most familiar with the Purple Qi Ascension Spirit Pill.

Under this determination, Bai Xiaochun closed the Medicine Refining Pavilion and refined the Purple Qi Ascension Pill, time passed, and two months later, with the seventy-seven eighty-eight of the herbs and trees that Bai Xiaochun had exchanged for refining the elixir, he had refined three bottles of the Purple Qi Ascension Pill, each bottle was ten pills.

In particular, there is one of them, the color is not quite the same as the lilac of other pills, it is dark purple, the medicinal fragrance is not strong, such as introverted and not dispersed.

When this pill was being refined, the Dan furnace in front of Bai Xiaochun was obviously different from usual, and even the earth fire swelled up all of a sudden.

At this moment, he held this dark purple elixir and looked at it in front of him, his eyes showed pride and excitement.

"Medium-grade!!I, Bai Xiaochun, have finally refined another medium-grade elixir!"

"Medium-grade elixir, I'm afraid it's not common at auction, but if you want to achieve a sensational effect, it's still a little worse...... After all, this auction is held every few years, and there are many rare treasures. Bai Xiaochun thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, took out the turtle pattern pot, and began to refine the spirit.

After three times, the silver light shone, and the elixir was no longer a medium grade, but a breakthrough product, and it became a ...... PREMIUM!

This kind of excellent product is already amazing, and the impurities are only more than one percent.

Bai Xiaochun looked satisfied, looking at the high-quality Purple Qi Ascension Spirit Pill in his hand, the color of this pill was almost black, and although the three spirit patterns on it were dim, they were just as obvious, so that people could see the extraordinary nature of this pill at a glance.

Looking at the pill in his hand, Bai Xiaochun suddenly felt that he had found another way to be famous all over the world, laughed proudly, took out a knife, and drew a ...... on this pill Good-looking little turtles.

"Master Turtle will go out of the rivers and lakes again!" Bai Xiaochun got up excitedly, with anticipation in his eyes.

With the elixir in hand, Bai Xiaochun went down the mountain, and when he returned an hour later, he was refreshed and proud, and the surprise that came to his mind when he saw that he had taken out three bottles of Purple Qi Ascension Elixir, and when he took out the high-quality elixir that had been refined three times, the other party's jaw seemed to be about to fall, and he was stunned and shocked.

"I'm just waiting for the auction in a month. Bai Xiaochun looked at a jade plaque in his hand, this is a qualification card to participate in the auction, and with this item, he can go to the auction.

During these days, the topic of everyone in the sect gradually mentioned the auction, and soon, the disciples of the three mountains on the south bank prepared one after another, planning to try their luck at the auction, so the fang market under the mountain was more lively than before

"I heard from my brothers in the family on the North Shore that in the first auction they held over there, there was a Yellow Spring Fire! It was a legendary thing, even if it was just a flame, it was a treasure, and it was bought by a disciple of the North Shore for a lot of money. ”

"This auction of hundreds of Xiuzhen families, there are a lot of rare treasures, especially the pills, which are even more amazing, I think it should be caused by the fact that the outer gate Tianjiao battle on the north and south sides of the strait is about to begin!"

"It should be this reason, the outer gate of the north and south banks is arrogant, it is a grand event of my Lingxi Sect, but I hate my south bank for many years, and I have always been inferior to the north bank in the choice of the top ten!

In the following month, there were more and more discussions about the auction in the sect, and Bai Xiaochun also heard a lot, especially the Tianjiao battle between the outer gates on the north and south banks, he also heard about it, but he didn't pay attention to it.

Soon a month passed, and in the early morning of this day, Bai Xiaochun was meditating, and suddenly his eyes opened, and a glowing jade slip appeared in his right hand in a storage bag.

"The auction is about to start. With anticipation in his eyes, he hurriedly walked out of the courtyard and rushed down the mountain, seeing many outer disciples along the way, and there were long rainbows whistling in the sky.

Bai Xiaochun slapped his forehead, remembering that he could fly, so he quickly pinched his fingers, and suddenly the golden black sword appeared, stepping on the golden crow, he turned into a golden light, rose to the sky, and hurried away.

Soon arrived at the Fang Market, he held his head high, raised his little head, and walked into the auction pavilion.

The auction pavilion is huge, there are thousands of seats in the hall, and there is even a large area in the back, although there are no seats, but it is also crowded, as for Bai Xiaochun, almost as soon as he entered, he was immediately picked up by Sun Chen, who was waiting there, and walked into the second floor from another way, and after entering a separate room, Sun Chen retreated.

This room is not big, the opposite side is hollow, there is a veranda, and below is the hall, where you can clearly see the auction table.

Such a lively scene, Bai Xiaochun encountered it for the first time, and at this moment, he did not come out of the room like other foundation building monks, but exposed half of his body at the balcony, for fear that no one would recognize him, and kept coughing.

Gradually, in the crowd below, some people saw Bai Xiaochun, all with strange expressions, and they all withdrew their gazes.

It's just that there are too many people here, even if Bai Xiaochun coughs again, it can't spread too far, he saw Hou Xiaomei from afar, as well as Zhou Xinqi and others, but the distance was too far away, so he didn't pay attention to him here.

Bai Xiaochun shouted for a long time, and finally became depressed and lost interest, after all, half of his body stretched out, and he was quite tired...... Especially if he was worried about falling off by accident...... I'm afraid that in less than the next day, countless people on the south bank will know.

After a short time, more and more people came here, and half an hour later, a crisp sound echoed, and the surroundings gradually quieted, and countless eyes were all focused on the auction table at this moment.

A middle-aged man in a green shirt walked out with a smile and stood there with a fist in his fist.

"In Xia Qian Song, there must be many Taoist friends who know Qian, this time the auction will be presided over by Qian, the rules are still the same, and the one with the highest price will win. His words were simple, and after speaking, he raised his right hand and waved, and immediately a light gate appeared on the auction table.

A young woman walked out, holding a tray with an irregular stone made of countless pieces of iron.

In the light, it reflected a colorful light, and the eyes of thousands of people around him lit up, and some of them showed surprises.

Bai Xiaochun also looked carefully, and didn't recognize what it was, but looking at the expressions of those surprised people, it seemed to be a very remarkable thing.

"The first auction item, gold and iron, is three hundred spirit stones at a low price, and the price is not less than fifty spirit stones each time!" Qian Song opened his mouth slightly, and a foundation building cultivation pushed his voice to spread in all directions.

"Three hundred and fifty spirit stones!" Soon, someone spoke.

"Four hundred!" Almost at the same time as the first price appeared, someone immediately bid for it, and soon shouted the price to seven hundred spirit stones, which was bought by an inner disciple of Ziding Mountain.

Bai Xiaochun's eyes widened, he looked at the piece of iron, and couldn't understand why this thing was actually worth seven hundred spirit stones, and at the same time, he also found that after the auction began, it seemed that there was a formation here, which could make the person who offered the price, and his voice expanded a lot.

"It's just a piece of broken iron. Bai Xiaochun was a little sour, sitting on the sidelines and watching.

Soon, one by one, the auction items were bought one after another, especially a green horn, which seemed to have been thunderbolted, and it seemed that a faint arc of electric light could be seen on it, and this thing was directly sold for the price of eight thousand spirit stones, and Bai Xiaochun's heart was shocked to see it.

It wasn't until the auction went on for more than half an hour that Qian Song's voice echoed.

"What is auctioned now is a bottle of second-order elixir, Purple Qi Ascension Elixir, a total of ten grains, the quality is infinitely close to the middle grade, the impurities are controlled within eighty percent, the price is one hundred spirit stones, and the price is not less than ten spirits each time. ”

Hearing this, Bai Xiaochun immediately became energetic, and hurriedly looked at it, suffering from gains and losses in his heart, and hated that everyone could make a price.

But for some reason, there was a bit of coldness around, Bai Xiaochun sighed in his heart, and waited for a while before someone made an offer.

"One hundred and ten spirit stones. The one who offered the price was an outer disciple, which was almost all his savings, and after saying it at the moment, he looked around nervously.

But Bai Xiaochun was even more nervous, this bottle of Purple Qi Ascension Spirit Pill cost fifty spirit stones, and if you put it in the market to sell, it can also sell for one hundred and fifty or six.

At the moment, he was crying and dumbfounded.

Fortunately, when Qian Song was about to set the board, someone finally offered a price, and in the end, it was scattered and pushed the price to one hundred and eighty spirits.

"One hundred and eighty spirit stones is not bad, twenty more than in Fang City. Bai Xiaochun breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and comforted himself, in fact, this price is already a lot, but compared with the precious things in front, it is inevitable that there will be some gaps.

Soon, Bai Xiaochun's second bottle of elixir was also sold, and the price was slightly higher, two hundred spirit stones, which made Bai Xiaochun a little surprised.

It wasn't until his third bottle of elixir was also auctioned that the atmosphere of the Qi Condensing disciples gradually increased, and the number of people who offered bids increased one after another, and in the end, Bai Xiaochun was ecstatic to find that his second bottle of elixir had actually been sold for the price of two hundred and thirty spirit stones.

"More than seven hundred spirit stones, worthy of an auction, enough is enough, these spirit stones are enough for me to refine a third-order elixir. Bai Xiaochun is a person who is very satisfied, although he is still depressed at the moment, he does not take it to heart, and he is happy in the room, looking forward to the appearance of his excellent elixir.

"In this case, my high-quality elixir should be able to be sold...... Three hundred spirit stones?" Bai Xiaochun hesitated, a little unsure.

"Two hundred is fine!" he nodded.

Time passed, and under Bai Xiaochun's waiting, at noon, Qian Song on the auction table had a somewhat strange look on his face for the first time, and he coughed dryly when he looked at the people around him.

"The auction items that Qian is going to take out next are very interesting...... It was a second-order elixir, the same as the Purple Qi Ascension Elixir, but it could ...... Some are not quite the same. ”

Bai Xiaochun was immediately nervous, and stood on the balcony nervously, with an extremely strong heart of gain and loss.
