Chapter 767: The Yellow Spring Immortal Tree
Chapter 767: The Yellow Spring Immortal Tree
"The Star-Moving, Sun-Changing Sword Grass, with a starting bid of 100,000 low-grade spirit stones, and each increase cannot be less than 5,000 low-grade spirit stones."
"Let the bidding begin!"
After a brief introduction to this sixth-grade sword grass spirit species, Zhang Jiuzong paused and announced loudly.
"100,000 low-grade spirit stones. The starting bid isn't much lower than that of a typical sixth-grade spirit species. Looks like I'll have to spend a small fortune today."
Lu Xuan murmured to himself.
However, there was a good reason for the high price. This Star-Moving, Sun-Changing sword grass spirit species was highly sought-after, especially by sword cultivators, all of whom wanted to possess this innate sword artifact.
"120,000 low-grade spirit stones!"
"130,000!"
Within a few breaths, the price had soared to 160,000 low-grade spirit stones.
The number of bidding cultivators had noticeably decreased.
"180,000!"
A late-stage Foundation Establishment sword cultivator called out in a deep voice.
"188,000!"
Lu Xuan quickly followed with a slightly more auspicious bid.
"195,000!"
A cold female voice rang out from his right, emanating from a meteorite. Despite the array's concealment and isolation, the sharp sword intent emanating from her was palpable.
"200,000!"
Without hesitation, Lu Xuan raised the price to the 200,000 level.
After he quoted this price, the number of cultivators interested in the Star-Moving, Sun-Changing sword grass spirit species decreased sharply.
It was not a very cost-effective proposition for most cultivators to spend 200,000 spirit stones on a sixth-grade spirit species, even if it was the most elite variety in its tier.
"210,000!"
The late-stage Foundation Establishment sword cultivator directly raised the price by 10,000, intending to scare Lu Xuan off.
However, he had underestimated Lu Xuan's determination to acquire this sixth-grade sword grass spirit species at all costs.
"220,000," Lu Xuan said calmly, his voice steady, exuding an air of confidence.
"220,000 once..."
The cultivators present fell silent.
"225,000!"
After some hesitation, the cold female voice sounded again.
"230,000."
But Lu Xuan didn't hesitate at all and raised the bid again.
"Congratulations, fellow cultivator!"
In the end, he successfully acquired the sixth-grade sword grass spirit species.
Taking advantage of the auction's break while other high-level treasures were being auctioned off, Lu Xuan quickly claimed the sword grass spirit species.
"I never thought that after leaving Tianjian Sect, I would still be entangled with Dongxuan Sword Sect in countless ways."
Lu Xuan looked at the spirit species in his hand, a smile on his face, and stored it in his Gluttonous Insect Pouch.
After successfully bidding for the Star-Moving, Sun-Changing sword grass spirit species, he fell silent, quietly observing the other cultivators competing for various treasures.
Occasionally, there would be one or two treasures that piqued his interest, but after bidding a few times, he would ultimately have to give up.
Among the cultivators present, there were quite a few late-stage Foundation Establishment masters and even Golden Core true lords with exceptional backgrounds, abundant resources, and formidable strength. Although Lu Xuan was qualified to compete with them, he had to prioritize the spirit species.
After all, the profits generated by spirit species far outstripped those of other treasures by an unknown factor.
As the auction progressed, the tier of the treasures being offered increased, and they became increasingly rare and extraordinary.
In the latter half of the auction, a middle-grade divine technique heated up the competition, eventually selling for nearly five million spirit stones, leaving Lu Xuan, who was watching from the corner, dumbfounded.
"Those major cultivators, aristocratic families, and powerful sects truly have deep pockets."
"After decades of farming, I can only say that I'm gradually narrowing the gap between us."
"Of course, if I can obtain a few more seventh-grade spirit species, then perhaps I can surpass them."
Thinking of the upcoming seventh-grade spirit species, Lu Xuan felt that the countless spirit stones in his storage bag were eager to be spent, itching to get their hands on the new species.
After auctioning off a seventh-grade flying sword, an excited Zhang Jiuzong took out a spirit species.
The surface of the spirit species was deep and mysterious, rippling with deep yellow waves, as if accompanied by a grayish-yellow river. As soon as it appeared, it created a startling phenomenon.
Lu Xuan sensed something and said to himself, "This phenomenon... is even more spectacular than that of the Yimu Qingleiteng and the Octave Palace." He was now even more eager to see this seventh-grade spirit species.
"Could this phenomenon be the legendary Yellow Spring Immortal Tree?"
"Oh? Could you enlighten me, fellow daoist?"
"I learned about it from an ancient book. It is said that this spirit plant can bear divine and exotic spirit fruits. However, it is extremely difficult to cultivate, and only major clans and sects stand a chance of successfully cultivating it."
Even before the spirit species was revealed, it had already sparked much discussion.
Zhang Jiuzong looked around and saw that all the cultivators were captivated by the spirit species in his hand. A smile appeared on his face.
"The item in my hand is a seventh-grade spirit species called the Yellow Spring Immortal Tree. It is said to have originated from the Yellow Spring Ghost Ravine, existing in a state of neither life nor death. It only produces a spirit species under extreme circumstances."
"Once the spirit species matures, it will bear a seventh-grade immortal fruit every once in a while. These immortal fruits have numerous wondrous uses, which are closely tied to the spirit plant itself and the cultivation process. However, you will need to explore the specifics on your own, fellow daoists."
"The starting bid for the Yellow Spring Immortal Tree spirit species is 600,000 low-grade spirit stones, and each increase cannot be less than 10,000."
"Let the bidding begin!"
"700,000!"
Lu Xuan took the initiative and raised the price by 100,000, setting the tone.
There were quite a few cultivators who wanted to obtain this seventh-grade spirit species, including Nascent Soul True Lords and Golden Core True Immortals representing major sects and clans.
Within just a few breaths, the price climbed to 1,200,000 low-grade spirit stones.
"1,300,000!"
A childish voice piped up, and a tiny figure appeared on a meteorite.
The little person was three feet tall, with pale and delicate skin that looked fragile. He should have appeared cute, but he sat cross-legged on thousands of infant skeletons, and grayish-black ghost infants crawled onto his shoulders from time to time.
"It's the Wan Infant True Lord, the Grand Elder of the Wan Infant Sect. I didn't expect him to come as well."
"1,500,000 spirit stones. Fellow Daoist Wan Infant, with so many ghost infants, will you be able to feed them all if you cultivate the immortal fruit?"
A dignified voice rang out, and a meteorite moved forward, carrying a half-man, half-dragon cultivator. His neck and cheeks were covered in dense green dragon scales, and he exuded an invisible yet powerful pressure as he stood on the meteorite.
"So, it's you, old dragon of Qing Jiao. What's the matter? Is your lifespan coming to an end, and you want to use the immortal fruit to turn to the path of ghosts?" Wan Infant True Lord sneered, his words carrying a hint of ridicule.
"1,600,000."
Lu Xuan, standing in the corner, remained hidden as he once again raised the bid by 100,000.
Unlike the two Nascent Soul True Lords, he didn't have the confidence to reveal his true self, so he could only bid in secret, hoping to obtain this seventh-grade spirit species quietly.
The three bidders' aggressive offers scared off the other sect and clan cultivators.
Ignoring the others, Lu Xuan simply waited for one of the two Nascent Soul True Lords to make a bid before raising the price by 100,000 each time. He spent spirit stones like they were worthless, seemingly unconcerned about the cost.
"2,100,000!"
After the price slowly climbed past the two million mark, he added another 100,000.
"This fellow daoist is quite generous. I admit defeat," Wan Infant True Lord said with a sinister smile. He sent out a hidden spiritual sense, but it was blocked by the artifact spirit's restriction and returned to him.
"Thank you for your generosity, fellow daoist," Lu Xuan replied, altering his voice to sound deeper.
