Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

Chapter 393 - 213: Auction Conference, Rare Treasures Emerged [Subscribe Requested]_2

Indeed, once the beautiful woman took her place, she smiled with her eyes and bowed in all four directions with a greeting: "I am Su Yunniang, and I greet all fellow Daoists here."

She then continued, "Having earned the trust of the three sects to host this auction, I hope all fellow Daoists will honor us with your support. I am immensely grateful!"

Her voice was enchanting and melodious, not as crisp and delightful as a young girl’s but more like aged wine that grows more comforting the longer one listens.

For the first time, Zhou Chun discovered that even just the sound of a woman’s voice could possess such allure.

At this moment, Zhou Mingde’s expression also became stern, and he immediately sent a message telepathically, "This woman is no simple character; she must have cultivated some sort of secret technique that uses her voice to bewitch people. Stay alert, everyone, and don’t fall for her charms unconsciously!"

Hearing this, the Zhou Family cultivators, who had been staring at the beautiful woman, Su Yunniang, all tensed up and dared not look at her anymore.

After her opening remarks, Su Yunniang did not waste more words, quickly moving on to the main event.

With a flick of her wrist at her storage pouch, a white jade bottle appeared in her hand.

She then held the jade bottle and smiled lightly, "This first auction item is a bottle of five Impact Spirit Pills, which can enhance the Mana of cultivators at the early stages of Foundation Establishment. The starting bid is only two thousand Spirit Coins, and each subsequent bid must increase by at least one hundred Spirit Coins."

"What a marvelous item, an elixir that enhances the Mana of cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Progression Phase. This is something hard to come by even if you have the money!"

Zhou Chun’s side, Zhou Jiarui’s eyes brightened as he couldn’t help but praise in a low voice.

Just as he said, the Impact Spirit Pills were indeed very appealing to the cultivators present at the auction.

And the starting price of two thousand Spirit Coins was relatively low.

As a result, the atmosphere heated up instantly as cultivators at each table eagerly started bidding.

In just a short hundred breaths, the price for the items starting at two thousand Spirit Coins had been called up to four thousand and was still rising.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Jiarui, who had just bid once, couldn’t help but shake his head and said, "This is truly insane!"

Before this, he had taken Zhou Chun to participate in an underground auction and was no stranger to such events.

Even so, the situation at today’s auction still left him astonished.

He could only marvel at how many wealthy people there were in the world!

An underground auction might at best draw a crowd of a hundred or two hundred people, most of whom didn’t even possess ten thousand Spirit Coins.

But at today’s grand auction, there were over twenty Golden Core Phase cultivators and several hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators, each supposedly possessing at least ten thousand Spirit Coins.

In such circumstances, it was clear some cultivators were willing to spend extra Spirit Coins to acquire items they could use.

The bottle of Impact Spirit Pills quickly sold for a high price of five thousand Spirit Coins.

After this first item had stirred up the atmosphere, Su Yunniang quickly presented the second auction item with a beaming smile.

It was still a bottle of elixirs that enhance Mana, but it was also useful to cultivators in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.

Thus, the bidding atmosphere heated up once again, with prices being called out one after another from all around the hall, creating an unceasing clamor.

In this manner, the first five auction items, which were all extremely useful elixirs, were sold, stirring up the atmosphere of the auction to its peak.

"The sixth treasure, a third-tier lower-grade Metal-attribute offensive Talisman, has a starting bid of two thousand Spirit Coins, and each increase must not be less than one hundred Spirit Coins."

Accompanied by Su Yunniang’s smooth and charming voice, a Talisman emanating a faint golden light appeared in her hand.

Third-tier Talismans were rare treasures not easily purchased, as most Talisman Makers could not create Talismans of this level.

Those who could craft such Talismans often would not sell them freely, to prevent them from being used against themselves or their family members in the future.

So, the appearance of this third-tier Talisman also quickly sparked a frenzied scramble.

Especially for those families who had already learned about the news that the three major sects were going to march south against the Dragon Transformation Sect, the competition for such treasures was fierce.

To tell the truth, if Zhou Chun hadn’t already decided to purchase spiritual objects that would assist Zhou Daoyi in establishing his Purple Mansion, he would certainly have vied for them as well.

He currently still had a third-tier superior talisman given to him by Taoist Mingxia, and if he could get his hands on two or three more third-tier offensive talismans, he could even hold his ground against Purple Mansion Phase cultivators.

Unfortunately, he could only watch with wide eyes now.

Next, just like before, Su Yunniang brought out up to six third-tier talismans for auction before she started to switch to third-tier magic artifacts.

But compared to the previously auctioned elixirs and talismans, third-tier magic artifacts were not as easy to sell.

It’s not that these items weren’t useful, but rather that there were fewer cultivators who could use them, and most of them already had one.

Items like third-tier magic artifacts could easily be passed down for a thousand years without damage.

And since conflicts among Purple Mansion Phase cultivators were rare, it was difficult for magic artifacts to sustain damage.

Therefore, all the major cultivation families had third-tier magic artifacts passed down from ancestors, and only the newly-advanced Purple Mansion Phase cultivators from families with insufficient heritage needed to purchase such artifacts.

Of course, truly good third-tier magic artifacts were very much in demand.

After all, one or two high-quality artifacts in hand could indeed visibly enhance the combat power of a Purple Mansion Phase cultivator.

But unfortunately, those fine artifacts were unlikely to be auctioned off; they were directly consumed within the major sects.

So even with Su Yunniang’s eloquent persuasion, two pieces of third-tier magic artifacts still went unsold, with not a single bid placed.

This kind of auction default had an obviously big impact on the auction atmosphere.

Therefore, Su Yunniang decisively switched to an auction item that could ignite the atmosphere.

With a swipe of her hand over her storage pouch, a green jade box appeared in her hand, and she said in a tempting tone, "Ladies and gentlemen, please pay attention to the following treasure, which is a box of three sticks of Soul Attracting Incense secretly made by the Green Lotus Temple. When you ignite one during the establishment of your Purple Mansion and place it in a secret chamber, it can help one easily attract their Divine Soul!"

As she spoke, she opened the lid of the jade box, revealing three one-foot-long purple-gold incense sticks.

Just letting the crowd catch a glimpse of the three purple-gold incense sticks, she quickly closed the lid and then spoke in her uniquely charming tone, "One box of Soul Attracting Incense, with a starting bid of 10,000 Spirit Coins, and each increase must be no less than 500 Spirit Coins!"

No sooner had her words fallen than a deep voice rang out from a nearby table. Enjoy new tales from empire

"15,000 Spirit Coins!"

Zhou Chun looked up and saw that the bidder was a Purple Mansion Phase cultivator. If he remembered correctly, the man seemed to be a Supreme Elder of the He family.

Then he turned his gaze and asked Zhou Mingde, the Supreme Elder next to him, in a low voice, "Shall we make a move?"

"No need, this Soul Attracting Incense is not bad, but its role during the establishment of the Purple Mansion is quite limited, it’s not worth wasting our Spirit Coins on!"

The one who answered Zhou Chun was Zhou Daoyi, who expressed his position directly.

Hearing his words, Zhou Chun did not say anything more and simply watched others vie for the item.

After a fierce competition, the three sticks of Soul Attracting Incense were eventually purchased for 43,500 Spirit Coins.

After this item, Su Yunniang quickly swiped her hand over her storage pouch at her waist and took out another jade box.

This time, she didn’t even open the box, but just smiled coquettishly and said, "Considering the previous auctions, the distinguished fellow cultivators must be aware of the rules of this auction event, yes, this time it is still a spiritual object that can assist in the opening of the Purple Mansion, it is a rare Ice Jade Soul Silkworm!"

After speaking, she raised her hand and shook the jade box in her hand, saying softly, "One Ice Jade Soul Silkworm, with a starting price of 20,000 Spirit Coins, and each increase must be no less than 500 Spirit Coins!"

"Alright, we’ll bid for this item!"

After hearing Su Yunniang’s words, Zhou Mingde at the Zhou family’s table quickly slapped the table and made the decision on the spot.
