Chapter  264  - 179: Auction_1

"How much is the Foundation Building Pill?"

"The low grade is 5,000 Spirit Stones, mid-grade 10,000 Spirit Stones, high grade 20,000 Spirit Stones, and the supreme grade 50,000 Spirit Stones!"

"Which type would our honored guests like to purchase?"

In the Green Jade Market, within the Elixir Tower, at the counter.

Yan Changfeng looked at the smiling shopkeeper, then at the dazzling array of jade bottles on the counter, hesitating in his mind.

Behind him stood several people, mostly elderly or middle-aged, but there were also two or three young men and women.

They were indeed the elders and younger generation of the Yan family.

At this moment, those two or three youths could hardly contain themselves.

"Foundation Building Pills are this cheap?"

"Even the inferior Foundation Building Pills used to cost 10,000 Spirit Stones!"

"Now the low grade is only 5,000, the price has been slashed by more than half."

"Supreme grade Foundation Building Pills, do they really exist?"

"Although Foundation Building Pills are second-tier elixirs, even third-tier Pill Masters might not be able to produce a supreme grade one, right?"

"I heard that supreme grade Foundation Building Pills have extraordinary destiny, capable of forging a perfect Dao base, and there is hope for the Golden Core Dao in the future."

"Only 50,000 Spirit Stones for that? If we buy one for great-grandfather, wouldn't our Yan family have another Foundation Establishment Ancestor?"

"Don't speak nonsense..."

The chatter of the younger generation was enthusiastic, their eyes alight.

However, the expressions of the several elders were serious, and they spoke in a low voice to Yan Changfeng, "Changfeng, the family's top priority now is to assist you with your Core Formation. It's sufficient to just get an inferior Foundation Building Pill for elder brother, and use all the remaining Spirit Stones to help you acquire the Golden Core Skill and Forming Core Spirit Objects that you need for cultivation."

The words of the elders weighed heavily on Yan Changfeng's shoulders.

The tide of change was sweeping in.

In the current Cultivation Realm of Liang Kingdom, 'Foundation Establishment Ancestors' no longer had the power to suppress an area; one had to become a Great Golden Core cultivator to have a say.

As a power that originally was at the Foundation Establishment level, the Yan family had a strong ability to judge the situation and unanimously decided to seize the opportunity presented by the era, to take advantage of the crucial moment and gain an advantage in this 'major upheaval,' ahead of others.

Otherwise, they would be surpassed by others, and eliminated by the times!

To that end, they had emptied their coffers, and even at the risk of mining the Spirit Vein of Red Maple Mountain, they had gathered a large sum of Spirit Stones to attend this auction event.

However, the auction hadn't even started yet, and just the various shops in the market had already dazzled them.

Spirit Rice, elixirs, magic artifacts, talismans, all kinds of cultivation necessities, wares for battle—they had everything of high quality, and the prices were incredibly low, almost like a half sale. It was mesmerizing.

"No wonder the Cultivation Realm of Liang Kingdom has gone mad these days."

"With such Spiritual Objects at such prices, who wouldn't go crazy?"

"Compared to the Three Sects, the contrast is even greater. Everyone is afraid that this is all a dream that they will wake up from, hence they spare no effort to buy frantically."

Yan Changfeng sighed softly to himself and then stepped forward to speak to the shopkeeper, "I'd like a low-grade Foundation Building Pill."

"Low grade?"

Surprised, the several elders quickly stepped forward, "There's no need for that, an inferior grade will suffice."

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper smiled, "I apologize, but we do not sell inferior grade elixirs, the lowest we have is low grade."

"This..."

The crowd was taken aback, their expressions astonished.

The shopkeeper smiled and said calmly, "Rest assured, at the auction, the price of the Golden Core Skills will not be too high. In fact, the prices for all cultivation technique inheritances won't be too high either. They are only included in the auction to increase appeal. Green Jade Mountain has no plans to profit from them, and moreover..."

The shopkeeper looked at Yan Changfeng, "After the auction, Green Jade Mountain and all the major markets will directly sell Golden Core Skills. The price won't be much higher than that of the Foundation Building Pill."

"This..."

Upon hearing this, the crowd was even more shocked.

Only Yan Changfeng quickly regained his composure, looking at the shopkeeper with dread and uncertainty, "Then what about the Forming Core Spirit Objects..."

"Spiritual Objects are different from skills; their prices are hard to lower."

The shopkeeper shook his head, dimming the light in Yan Changfeng's eyes.

Then, the shopkeeper's tone shifted again.

"However, Green Jade Mountain is currently researching the Five Elements Gold Binding Pill technique and is cultivating the materials required for the Five Elements Gold Binding Pill with full effort in Medicine King Valley. In a few years, we should be able to release it, by then, the difficulty of Core Formation will definitely be greatly reduced."

"Five Elements Gold Binding Pill!"

"A few years..."

Yan Changfeng's eyes narrowed, looking at the shopkeeper with surprise and uncertainty, and then he clasped his hands and said, "Thank you for the warning, sir. Yan Changfeng is immensely grateful!"

He had obviously come to regard the other party as a high-ranking person of Green Jade Mountain.

However...

"What 'sir'? I'm just a little manager of the Elixir Tower," replied the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper shook his head, "These are things higher-ups asked me to say, an open secret, not any insider information. You don't have to be polite with me. By the way, do you still want the Foundation Building Pill?"

"..."

"Give me one!"

Moments later, the Yan family party left the Green Jade Elixir Tower with mixed emotions and headed toward the auction venue.

By that time, the Green Jade Market was bustling with activity, filled with cultivators.

Yan Changfeng also saw many familiar faces, but everyone tacitly did not greet each other.

Soon, they arrived at the venue, which was an open-air venue.

"Foundation Establishment cultivators, 10,000 Spirit Stones, either criterion will grant entry!"

"At the auction, the highest bidder wins. Those who use their power to intimidate others, commit a great crime and face severe punishment!"

Although called an open-air venue, not just anyone could enter. Either one's cultivation had to be high enough, or one had enough Spirit Stones.

Yan Changfeng had sufficient Cultivation and Spirit Stones, so he let the other members of the Yan family wait outside while he entered alone and took a seat below the stage.

Others followed suit, and soon the place was filled with people from all directions, just waiting for the main event to start.
