Tier Three Spirit Beast Egg, Tier Three Array Banner, Tier Three Magical Treasure, Tier Three Talisman...
As one Tier Three Spiritual Object after another appeared, the faces of the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the audience gradually showed helplessness.
A mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator wearing a blue robe in the front row touched his storage pouch.
Watching yet another Tier Three Middle Grade Magical Treasure being auctioned off at a high price, he finally shook his head, stood up, and walked towards the exit.
His companions exchanged glances and also stood up one after another, silently leaving through the shadows of the side door.
These people were all from the prudent faction, knowing full well that while Tier Three items were excellent, they were not something they could easily indulge in at the moment.
Rather than staying inside and feeling itchy with desire, it was better to return to their caves early for focused cultivation, perhaps even reducing trouble by leaving at a less crowded time, avoiding being targeted.
Inside the private box.
Chen Sheng was also somewhat dazzled.
He came from Chu Country, where Tier Three items are the peak, and ordinary cultivators would find it hard to see even one in their lifetime.
Yet here, these spiritual objects, which he once looked up to, were appearing continuously like ordinary items, leaving his eyes slightly dazed.
Until a Tier Three High Grade Thunder Pattern Iron Ore appeared, Chen Sheng's heart stirred, but he did not manage to secure it.
In the next half hour, he made over twenty bids, each time cautiously priced, in a wide-net approach to snag treasures.
Eventually, five items fell into his hands.
A Tier Three High Grade Earth-Jumping Golden Light Talisman—when activated, it can allow one to vanish into golden light and escape five thousand miles, making it almost impossible for anyone below a Nascent Soul cultivator to catch up, truly a lifesaving tool!
The other four were Tier Three Spiritual Materials, including a fist-sized piece of Tier Three Middle Grade Wind Spirit Crystal Marrow, which was as transparent as ice, with a gentle breeze seemingly flowing inside.
A Thundercloud Wood measuring three feet and as thick as a bowl rim, a Tier Three Lower Grade, its surface covered with web-like purple patterns, with faint thunder light flickering.
Also, there was a bottle of Condensed Water Jade Ointment and a small handful of Red Flame Sand, both Tier Three Middle Grade Spiritual Materials, perfect for refining Wind and Thunder Attribute Artifacts.
Chen Sheng silently calculated in his heart:
"Including the previous Antarctic Sunflower Gold, a total of 2.3 million Lower Grade Spirit Stones were spent, not a wasted expense."
"Divide these spiritual materials into many parts, refining them into flying swords and array banners."
"The blade of the Wind and Thunder Sword can be infused with Wind Spirit Crystal Marrow and Thundercloud Wood, while the array banners can be tempered with Red Flame Sand and Condensed Water Jade Ointment, likely refining them into Quasi-Tier Three Spiritual Artifacts."
"At that time, laying down the Celestial Spirit Wind-Thunder Sword Array, the power might even rival a Tier Three Middle Grade Grand Array!"
As Chen Sheng was pondering, the curtain on the high platform opened once more.
A servant girl dressed in a water-green gauze skirt gracefully walked out, carrying a tray lined with purple velvet, upon which lay a dragon-eye-sized pill.
The pill was pale blue in its entirety, as if wrapped in a thin layer of mist!
A refreshing pill fragrance spread with spiritual power, soothing to the senses, even alleviating some of the stagnation in the meridians.
"Hmm?"
On the auction platform, Master Withered Wood, who was calm in demeanor, twitched his eyelid, revealing a hint of fervor.
In the box on the second floor, Golden Core cultivators—originally either meditating or whispering—sat up straight.
In Box 37, a fiery-red figure stared intently at the pill, his bushy beard trembling slightly with excitement:
"Haha! Finally here! Withered Wood Old Ghost didn't lie to me; coming to Pingyang Market was worth it this time!"
In the neighboring Box 36, a figure in a purple robe sat cross-legged on a meditation mat, unable to hide his eagerness:
"Finally waited for it!"
On the high platform, Master Withered Wood took a deep breath, trying hard to calm the tremor in his voice. He raised his wooden hammer, his eyes sweeping across the venue and finally resting on the box section on the second floor. In a deep voice, he said:
"Fellow Daoists, the next auction item is a treasure that even old me can't help but be moved by."
"I imagine many in the box area have come for it—the Yuqing Barrier-Removing Pill, which can assist Golden Core Early-stage cultivators in breaking through bottlenecks, with a starting price of thirty thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones and a minimum increment of one thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones per bid."
"Wow—"
Before the words finished, a gasp sounded in the box section, as the Golden Core cultivators suddenly leaped from their seats. Their eyes were instantly filled with bloodshot veins, their fervor almost overflowing.
It's known that those who can cultivate to Golden Core are all exceptionally gifted!
There are plenty of cultivators with Earth Grade Spiritual Roots!
But the Golden Core Realm is like a watershed; unless one has Celestial Spirit Root, after forming the Golden Core, the privileges they previously enjoyed begin to diminish sharply.
The difficulty of accumulating mana rises significantly, often requiring decades or even centuries of painstaking cultivation.
Bottlenecks in cultivation that were perhaps never encountered before also begin to surface.
Many geniuses, because of this invisible barrier, remain trapped in the early stage of Golden Core for life, watching their lifespan slip away until they return to dust.
Yet this Yuqing Barrier-Removing Pill can dissolve that barrier, increasing the chances of a Golden Core Early-stage cultivator breaking through by thirty percent!
This is no mere pill; it's a ticket to a higher realm!
At this moment, most of the Golden Core cultivators in the box are in the early stage; this pill can help them break through, so naturally, it is fervently sought after!
In contrast, the Fake Pill cultivators downstairs were much calmer.
Their path was already severed; as good as this pill was, to them, it was like a distant dream, something they could only look at from afar, feeling a bit envious but without the intent to compete.
Sitting in his box, upon hearing the words "Yuqing Barrier-Removing Pill," Chen Sheng's brow slightly moved.
He still had a Profound Essence Barrier-Breaking Pill in his storage pouch, which he had refined in his previous life. Its effect was similar to this Yuqing Barrier-Removing Pill, both treasures that assist in breaking through bottlenecks.
