“What if there’s hope?” Luo Chen was curious.
Jun Ping let out a sigh, “Even if there is hope, foundation establishment is inevitable! Even after they establish their foundation, they will be common disciples of the inner sect. As they age, they might be sent away to handle regional matters. Perhaps, only after being accepted into the true disciples and being selected as the Golden Core Seed Cultivator, can they stand out in the intense competition.”
Prospective disciples, external sect general staff, inner sect disciples, Foundation Establishment administrators, Foundation Establishment True Disciples, Golden Core Seed Cultivators.
Listening to these clearly defined terms, Luo Chen’s head swelled.
Indeed, staying in the sect wasn’t as pleasant as it seemed!
He once thought it was hard being a rogue cultivator, but he didn’t expect cultivation in a sect to be just as difficult.
Those who could stand out amidst such intense competition must truly be deserving of the title ‘Prodigies’, right?
And suddenly, Luo Chen thought of those disciples on the Sky Pride List.
Being the top in the Qi Refinement, Han Zheng, must be considered an Inner Sect disciple in the Luo Yun Sect, and possibly even a Foundation Establishment True Disciple!
And Lin Qingxuan, the top foundation establishment cultivator, should be a Golden Core Seed Cultivator of the Yu Ding Sword Sect without a doubt.
And Ren Pingsheng, the top golden pill cultivator, could even dominate the Yu Ding Realm without nascent soul…
They truly are among the cream of the crop!
While they were conversing, Mi Shuhua quietly coughed.
When everyone looked at him, he nodded slightly and began to introduce the private rooms.
“There are eighteen private rooms, six of which are occupied by foundation establishment cultivators from the six sects.”
“The remaining twelve are occupied by foundation establishment cultivators from the Great Lake Gang, the Lianyun Business Union, Duan Family, Nangong Family, Li Family, and the rest.”
“Usually when you’re doing business outside, be sure to keep your eyes peeled and avoid offending these Foundation Establishment Cultivators.”
“Additionally, there are some hidden Foundation Establishment Cultivators from other districts in the auction site. If you see them bidding, take note of their appearances to avoid offending them in the future.”
“The auction will proceed in five stages. The Yu Ding Sword Sect will take up two stages, the rogues’ commodities will take up one stage, the local forces will take up one stage, and the Great Sect will take up one stage.”
“If you have items to auction, raise the sign for Room Eight to bid.”
“If there’s a stalemate during the bidding, tell me how important that item is to you, and I’ll decide whether to continue bidding for you.”
“If…”
As Mi Shuhua spoke more and more like a nagging old man, the audience listened carefully.
Luo Chen especially, since this was his first time attending a formal auction. He did not know anything about the taboos and unspoken rules.
These tips from Mi Shuhua could keep him from being completely clueless.
Even if he was only here to gain some insights today, what about the future?
One day, he would stride into auctions like this with a heavy gold purse.
While they were chatting and listening, the auction quietly kicked off.
At the bottom of the round hall, at the very center, a white jade platform was prominently located.
A straight-backed man who looked like a sword walked onto the stage.
“I am Luo Tianhong, a Foundation Establishment True Disciple of the Yu Ding Sword Sect. I will be responsible for this auction at The Great River District. I hope everyone can keep things cordial and bid fairly!”
“Without further ado, let’s get to the first item, the Sky Moon Purple Gold Wheel!”
“A lower-grade magic item, with five arrays carved on it; a third-order rotating moon array, second-order armor breaking array, second-order mysterious light array, second-order…”
“In good condition, with full power, it can spur 360 rotating moon wheels. In addition, it comes with a self-repair function, and there are other uses that I will not detail. The lucky bidder can discover them by themselves.”
“Most importantly, this magic item is from Tian Fan City!”
“Starting bid, ten thousand lower grade spirit stones.”
As soon as Luo Tianhong said the words “magic item”, the noisy auction house immediately fell into silence.
One by one, tendrils of spirit consciousness eagerly surged towards the wheel that Luo Tianhong had brought out.
“Fifteen thousand lower grade spirit stones!”
Someone from the Nangong Family’s box spoke up.
Luo Tianhong gave a slight smile, but didn’t say a word because he knew more people would be speaking up.
“Twenty thousand!”
“Thirty thousand!”
“Fifty thousand!”
In Box Eight, Luo Chen was astonished.
In the past, he would haggle for a few or several spirit stones.
Even recently, now that he was a bit richer, he had to argue with Mi Junping over a few hundred spirit stones.
But all at once, he was thrown into a deal that started at ten thousand spirit stones.
The impact on his worldview was immeasurable.
Just like him, almost all Qi Refinement Cultivators in the field were holding their breath, watching this scene with awe.
Suddenly, a sigh reached the ears of Luo Chen and the others.
“Oh, magic items, the only things that can greatly enhance the strength of Foundation Establishment Cultivators. It appears this one should belong to me.”
Mi Shuhua dropped his usual easy-going smile, looked serious, and softly uttered two words.
“Eighty thousand!”
