I Have A Disciple Simulator - Chapter 78
Chapter 78: Chapter 78: Auction (4th Update)
“Low-grade Acquired Spirit Treasure ‘Profound Nether Saber’, starting price 8000 Spirit Stones, with each bid increasing by 500 Spirit Stones.”
“8500 Spirit Stones!”
“9000 Spirit Stones!”
“9000 Spirit Stones for the first time.”
“9000 Spirit Stones for the second time.”
“Sold!”
An auctioneer from the Nascent Soul Realm banged the gavel, and a sword cultivator at the peak of the Golden Core Realm spent his entire fortune to buy this low-grade Acquired Spirit Treasure.
Lu Changsheng sat alone in the Heavenly Room, not participating in the bidding.
Lu Changsheng and Lin Qingzhi utilized Flying Swords as their magical treasures, Lu Qinglian wielded a long spear, and Mo Huazhi employed a Spirit Brush and Precious Ink. Lu Changsheng had no reason to bid for saber treasures.
This time Lu Changsheng came specifically to pick a suitable Flying Sword embryo to use the system to forge Innate Spirit Treasures and Immortal Artifacts; as long as it was a Flying Sword treasure, Lu Changsheng would buy it straight away.
Next item for auction, a low-grade Acquired Spirit Treasure ‘Feixing Sword’. As everyone knows, Flying Swords are the most widely used magical treasures among the six Immortal Sects and Jianghu hermit practitioners, thus making them highly sought after. Hence, the starting price for this Feixing Sword is 15000 Spirit Stones, with each bid increasing by 1000 Spirit Stones.” The auctioneer tapped into the cultivators’ psyche, instantly raising the price of the low-grade Acquired Spirit Treasure-level Flying Sword.
Lu Changsheng was astonished.
Could such a thing really happen?
As there were many practitioners who cultivated Sword Flight, Flying Sword treasures were more popular than other treasures, and at the same level, their price was actually more than double that of saber treasures.
“16000 Spirit Stones!”
“17000 Spirit Stones!”
“18000 Spirit Stones!”
“20000 Spirit Stones!”
Soon, the price of this Flying Sword had been bid up to 20000 Spirit Stones. “25000 Spirit Stones.”
A voice emanated from the Heavenly Room, silencing the cultivators who were competing for the Flying Sword.
Who was this madman, raising the bid by 5000 Spirit Stones in one go! Did they think Spirit Stones were just pebbles by the roadside?
“25000 Spirit Stones for the first time.”
“25000 Spirit Stones for the second time.”
“Sold!”
Participants were stunned by Lu Changsheng’s bid, and ultimately, he acquired the Flying Sword for 25000 Spirit Stones.
Lu Changsheng could easily take out a seventh-grade Elixir Pill and sell it for a million Spirit Stones; he truly didn’t fret over spending these few thousandss or tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.
Lu Changsheng purchased the Acquired Spirit Treasure to try his luck in drawing Innate Spirit Treasures and Immortal Artifacts.
The value of Immortal Artifacts cannot be measured merely in millions of Spirit Stones.
“The next treasure to be auctioned is the fourth-grade Elixir Pill ‘Earth Spirit Pill’.”
Another treasure was put up for auction, and Lu Changsheng remained indifferent, not participating in the bidding.
Lu Changsheng wasn’t short on Elixir Pills; he had enough to reward his disciples for some time.
“Low-grade Acquired Spirit Treasure ‘Qingfeng Sword’, with a formation inscribed by a Formation Master to increase the speed of Sword Flight, starting price 20000 Spirit Stones, with each bid increasing by 1000 Spirit Stones.” “It’s an Acquired Spirit Treasure with an inscribed formation, no wonder its price surpasses that of the previous Feixing Sword.”
“Such Acquired Spirit Treasures with inscribed formations are truly invaluable.”
“21000 Spirit Stones!”
“23000 Spirit Stones!”
“25000 Spirit Stones!”
“26000 Spirit Stones!”
“30000 Spirit Stones!”
Soon, the auction price for the Qingfeng Sword reached an astonishing 30000 Spirit Stones.
“40000 Spirit Stones.”
Lu Changsheng made his bid.
The auction house went silent once again.
Lu Changsheng had directly raised the bid by 10000 Spirit Stones; who could compete with that?
“40000 Spirit Stones, sold.”
Seeing that no one dared to compete with Lu Changsheng from the Heavenly Room, the auctioneer finalized the sale with a bang of the gavel.
Lu Changsheng successively purchased ten Flying Swords, three long spears, two Spirit Brushes, and six Daoist Robes-all of which were inferior-grade ’ Acquired Spirit Treasures. In total, he spent 600,000 Spirit Stones.
The cultivators at the auction realized that Lu Changsheng was specifically bidding on the four categories of magical artifacts: Flying Swords, long spears, Spirit Brushes, and Daoist Robes. Towards the end, whenever a Flying Sword was up for auction, and Lu Changsheng made a bid, astonishingly, no one would compete with him.
“The middle-grade Acquired Spirit Treasure ‘Flying Fire Sword’ has a small- scale Fire Formation inscribed by a Formation Master. The starting price is 150,000 Spirit Stones, with each increment of 10,000 Spirit Stones.”
A middle-grade Acquired Spirit Treasure with an inscribed formation? This is indeed a rare Flying Sword!”
“I bid 150,000 Spirit Stones!”
“160,000 Spirit Stones!”
“170,000 Spirit Stones!”
“180,000 Spirit Stones!”
“200,000 Spirit Stones!”
Other Sword Cultivators, green with envy for the Flying Sword, couldn’t hold back and frantically placed their bids, quickly driving the price up to 200,000 Spirit Stones.
“250,000 Spirit Stones.”
As expected, Lu Changsheng bid once again, dominating all competitors. The Sword Cultivators bidding were on the verge of mental collapse. This auction, all Flying Sword magical artifacts were cornered by Lu Changsheng; he had won a total of thirteen Flying Swords.
“What is this guy up to? Common Sword Cultivators at most need three Flying Swords-one for Sword Flight, one for slaying demons and exorcizing evil, and one spare. Why does he need thirteen Flying Swords?”
“Perhaps this is just the caprice of the wealthy.” “Silence! Those who merit a seat in the Heavenly Room are all esteemed guests cherished by the Tianbao Trading Company. We should not offend them over a mere Flying Sword. Perhaps he has some other use for securing all the Flying Swords.”
The crowd murmured in private, resigned to their fate.
“250,000 Spirit Stones, sold.”
The next treasure up for auction is somewhat unique. Named ‘Xuanlong Huanmo,’ it cannot be categorized by grade and is suitable for cultivators of the Confucian Dao, capable of enhancing the power of Confucian Dao martial skills The starting price is 200,000 Spirit Stones, with each increment of 10,000 Spirit Stones.”
The auctioneer brought out a stick of Precious Ink.
The venue fell into a dead silence.
Aside from the Great Confucians of the Literary Court and some reclusive literati, no one would want this treasure.
Besides, with a starting bid of 200,000 Spirit Stones, it was prohibitively expensive.
It wasn’t that there were no Great Confucians present.
Even Great Confucians at the Nascent Soul Realm might not be able to produce 200,000 Spirit Stones, let alone squander such a sum on a stick of ink.
Unless it was a Great Confucian of the Dao Palace Realm, only they might be willing to spend 200,000 Spirit Stones on a stick of Precious Ink.
If there are no bids, then the treasure will be passed… ”
“Wait, I’ll bid 200,000 Spirit Stones.”
Lu Changsheng hesitated only briefly before making the purchase.
This stick of Precious Ink could help his third Disciple, Mo Huazhi, to cultivate rapidly. 200,000 Spirit Stones was still a worthwhile exchange.
The key point was that the auction was drawing to a close, and it was still uncertain if Lu Changsheng could even exhaust all his Spirit Stones.
“200,000 Spirit Stones, sold!”
The auctioneer hurriedly brought down the gavel.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief; fortunately, Lu Changsheng had saved the day, or else this treasure would have passed without a bid.
“Finally, we have two Elixir Pills for auction, one of which is a Sixth-Grade Elixir, and the other is a Seventh-Grade Elixir.”
“A Seventh-Grade Elixir?!”
“There’s indeed a Seventh-Grade Elixir!”
The crowd completely erupted.
A Seventh-Grade Elixir Pill was the highest-valued treasure to appear at the end!
The Sixth-Grade Elixir Pill, Soul Supplement Pill, can nourish the soul. You are all surely aware of the value of a Sixth-Grade Elixir. The starting price is 100,000 Spirit Stones, with each increment of 10,000 Spirit Stones.” The auctioneer began with the sale of the Sixth-Grade Elixir.
“110,000 Spirit Stones!”
“120,000 Spirit Stones!”
“130,000 Spirit Stones!”
“150,000 Spirit Stones!”
Although Sixth-Grade Elixir Pills are rare, they are ultimately consumables, and 150,000 Spirit Stones was already a high price.
The last bidder was a Dao Palace Realm cultivator. He offered 150,000 Spirit Stones but still felt uneasy.
He anxiously glanced toward the Heavenly Room, fearing the mysterious transcendent being within might place a bid at any moment.
