Chapter 1 Rebirth

  "It's always been this way, to enter the venue you have to pay 100 yuan for the spiritual elixir, otherwise no one is allowed in, this is also our Shuntian Pavilion's long-standing rule." Da Han explained.

  "Listen, young man, this Shuntian Pavilion has been like this since it was built in Huang City. To enter the auction hall, you have to pay 100 yuan of spiritual dan. Sometimes, even if you want to buy something that suits yourself, there's no other way," said the old man behind Chen Xuan.

  Chen Xuan took out 100 yuan ling dan from his ring and threw it over, then walked into the auction house. Inside was already packed with people, the entire auction hall was as big as a football field, filled to capacity with at least 10,000 people. In the center stood a large high platform, which should be the auction stage. Just a small auction had attracted so many people.

  Chen Xuan also felt shocked, just receiving the entrance fee at Shuntian Pavilion was a small fortune, he found his seat and sat down, waiting for the auction to begin.

  After Chen Xuan sat down, there were still people coming in one after another. He didn't expect this auction to attract so many people, Chen Xuan thought to himself.

  "I heard that this auction was temporarily opened, and I heard that Shuntian Pavilion somehow got a piece of 'Golden Radiance Stone' weighing around 100 kilograms. The finale of this auction is this Golden Radiance Stone. To refine it into a Yuan device, the Golden Radiance Stone must be added, which is also why many people came. This time, I brought 800,000 yuan worth of Yuan Ling Dan, but I don't know if I can buy this piece of Golden Radiance Stone."

  "You brought 800,000 yuan ling dan and still dare to buy this piece of jinyao stone? I brought 1 million, but didn't say for sure that I could buy it. Many people came this time with enough yuan ling dan. It's said that several core disciples from Danxuan Gate have come, including the second young master of the Bi family. None of them have less than 180 million yuan ling dan on their hands, so it's hard to buy these with what we brought." The people sitting around Chen Xuan discussed.

  It seems that I won't be able to buy this Golden Radiance Stone after all. I thought having tens of millions of Yuan Spirit Pills made me a small rich man, but compared to these people, I'm really just a poor wretch. However, it's not bad to broaden my horizons. Chen Xuan didn't plan on buying anything in the first place anyway.

  "Everyone, please be quiet. After half an hour, a uniformed ceremonial lady appeared on the high platform and said to everyone: The auction is now starting, and next, our Huang Cheng Shun Tian Ge's chief auctioneer, Miss Die Wu, will serve as the auctioneer for this event," said the ceremonial lady standing on the high platform.

  As soon as the voice fell, a lovely young girl walked out from the backstage, about twenty years old, with a slender and delicate figure, obviously the type that makes men go crazy. Today's auction will be hosted by myself, Butterfly Dance.

  "Thank you everyone for coming to the auction scene of Shuntian Pavilion. During the auction, please compete fairly and do not disrupt the bidding by raising prices arbitrarily. Otherwise, we at Shuntian Pavilion will immediately clear you out. We hope that this time, everyone can buy something that meets their satisfaction."

  Butterfly dance standing on the high platform said a opening remarks for everyone.

  "Next, let's start this auction. The first item is a high-quality spiritual artifact, the Tiger Head Knife, with a starting price of 150,000 yuan in spiritual dan. Each bid increase must not be less than 10,000 yuan in spiritual dan," said Butterfly Dance, and immediately the ceremonial lady held up the spiritual artifact for everyone to see.

  "One hundred and sixty thousand," a voice came out. Chen Xuan took a look and saw that it was a man in his thirties, who should not belong to any sect and was a loose cultivator;

  "170,000," another voice came out, this time an aged one.

  "180,000," another voice appeared

  "Nineteen thousand," the man who had first called out the price shouted again;

  "Two hundred thousand," the old man continued to raise the price. The most valuable spiritual instrument would be worth around two hundred and fifty thousand at most, and it wouldn't be suitable if it exceeded this price.

  "Two hundred and ten thousand", the middle-aged man raised his price again, it seems he must get this tiger head knife.

  "Two hundred and twenty thousand," the old man also raised the price, now there are only two people bidding in the whole room, no one else is bidding, maybe they don't think highly of this knife.

  "Two million three hundred thousand," the middle-aged man opened a price with difficulty, and it seemed that two million three hundred thousand was his limit. After the middle-aged man quoted the price, the old man did not raise the price again;

  "Twenty-three thousand for the first time, twenty-three thousand for the second time, twenty-three thousand for the third time, sold! This tiger-head knife now belongs to this big brother. You can go backstage to handle the transfer now, or you can wait until the auction is over to do so," said Butterfly Dance with a gentle smile.

  "Next, I'd like to introduce the second item up for auction," said the emcee, holding a fruit platter covered with a red cloth. The butterfly dance walked up to the platter and began to introduce it to everyone.

  "This is a Soulless Fruit, I think everyone knows the effect of this fruit, but I still want to introduce it to you. After taking the Soulless Fruit, the success rate will increase by 50%, but it's limited to within the True Martial Realm. If you exceed the True Martial Realm, it won't have any use. Moreover, the Soulless Fruit contains a large amount of Soulless Energy, which can calm your mind and prevent yourself from going crazy. For those who have been stuck in this realm for a long time and cannot break through, this Soulless Fruit is the best item to help you make another attempt. The starting price is 2.5 million, with a minimum increase of 100,000." Butterfly Dance announces the second item again.

  "Two hundred and sixty thousand", before the butterfly dance sound had fallen, a voice came out, an old man in black said; This old man should be stuck in a realm and couldn't break through for a long time, this time he might also want to use this Wu Ling fruit to break through again.

  2.7 million

  Another person quoted; also a man in his 40s, it seems that these people have been stuck on the same boundary for too long, if they can't break through to gain longevity, they can only turn into a pile of yellow earth, one by one, the voices calling out prices rose and fell.

  "Three hundred and fifty thousand," said the black-robed old man who had spoken for the first time in the third round of bidding.

  "Four hundred thousand,"

  A hoarse voice came out, and everyone's eyes looked over. The source of the sound was a man wearing a bamboo hat, wearing a large robe that wrapped himself inside, unable to see his face. Forty million came from this person's mouth.

  The scene was silent, 400,000 wasn't unbearable, it's just that it had already exceeded the value range of Wú Líng Guǒ. As long as there were enough Yuán Líng Dān, Wú Líng Guǒ could be bought in many places. The black-robed old man who had first quoted a price looked gloomy, originally this Wú Líng Guǒ was meant for him alone, but someone suddenly appeared and forcibly raised the price to 400,000, gritting his teeth, he reported a number.

  "Four hundred and ten thousand,"

  This should have been his entire family fortune, if he couldn't break through the True Martial Realm again, he wouldn't have many years of life left. The black-robed old man opened his mouth and reported a price of 4.1 million yuan for the Yuanling Dan.

  Four hundred and fifty thousand

  The man in the bamboo hat directly added four hundred thousand yuan, and the old man in black was so angry that he stood up from his stool, his eyes blazing with anger at the man wearing the bamboo hat.

  "The auction is fair and square, if you still have the Yuanshen Dan, you can also increase the price here," said the man wearing a bamboo hat, ignoring the black-clothed old man's gaze.

  After you go out, I will let you honestly call out the soulless fruit, unless you can fly out of Huang City. The black-clothed old man gritted his teeth and said to himself in a low voice.

  Butterfly dance looked at the scene without opening a bid here.

  "Four hundred and fifty thousand for the first time...... Four hundred and fifty thousand for the third time, the Spirit Fruit was obtained by this gentleman with four hundred and fifty thousand yuan of Spirit Dan," said Butterfly Dance.

  One by one, the items were taken out for auction, including various refining materials, some unknown ancient books, and earth-grade martial arts techniques. The auction scene was proceeding with great enthusiasm.

  Every auction item attracts countless people to bid, it seems that opening an auction house is a very profitable business. To have a good cultivation environment and resources, the premise is that one must be rich. Without enough yuan ling dan, no matter how good your qualifications are, cultivation will be very slow. Only with yuan ling dan can one quickly absorb spiritual energy, relying solely on oneself to absorb spiritual energy is an extremely slow process, not impossible, but the speed of cultivation will be much slower.

  Chen Xuan now doesn't have any extra Yuan Lingshan to aid his cultivation, these elixirs aren't even enough for one absorption in his cauldron. He wonders if there's a quick way to obtain more Yuan Lingshan, as he needs much more than the average disciple. It seems that every future promotion will be extremely difficult for him. Chen Xuan thought to himself in the dark passageway.
