Immortal Cultivation Family: Start By Accepting Dao Companions

"In the end, the third item is something I, an elder of the Heavenly Talisman Sect, risked my life to bring back from the underwater secret realm."

On the auction stage, a middle-aged man dressed in auction attire excitedly introduced the upcoming auction item.

Two maids carefully carried a slightly decayed box onto the stage.

Chen Feng also noticed this box.

"I didn't expect to see Water Spirit Wood in a auction of this level."

Chen Feng's gaze fell on the box, despite its slight decay.

However, the water spirit aura within it had not dissipated at all.

It was a box made of high-quality refining material, Water Spirit Wood.

It appeared to be about two meters long.

This surprised Chen Feng, as Water Spirit Wood is extremely rare.

"What a pity."

Someone actually used the precious Water Spirit Wood to make a box.

However, the Water Spirit Wood had already started to decay, its spirituality declining, making it not the best choice for water attribute refining techniques.

This piqued Chen Feng's curiosity.

What kind of item could be contained in a box made from such high-grade spiritual wood?

On the stage, the middle-aged man continued speaking.

"I believe all esteemed guests can recognize what this box is made of."

"This is Water Spirit Wood, one of the Five Great Spiritual Woods. A box of this size is worth more than one hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones!"

The middle-aged man's face was filled with excitement.

However, the audience below did not buy it, and a sharp-eyed old cultivator spoke up.

"While this is indeed Water Spirit Wood, its age is too ancient, and its spirituality has declined and decayed. Its value has been greatly reduced."

The middle-aged man on the stage felt embarrassed for a moment, but soon laughed heartily.

"Fellow Daoist has broad knowledge, and what you said is correct."

"If the Water Spirit Wood hadn't decayed, this box would probably be auctioned in the imperial city, not here."

"Therefore, what is being auctioned this time is not the box itself, but what's inside."

"Something inside?" someone exclaimed.

"Yes!"

"The treasure brought back by the Elder of the Heavenly Talisman Sect after a life-and-death battle with the sea clans."

The middle-aged man continued.

"What kind of treasure?" someone asked from the audience.

"We don't know either. This box is extremely precious and has already decayed to some extent. We dare not open it..."

The middle-aged man rambled on.

Presumably, the Heavenly Talisman Sect had inspected it, including its spirituality.

They found that there were no significant spiritual fluctuations inside, so they couldn't estimate the value of the items inside.

They also didn't want to take the risk.

If the Water Spirit Wood had decayed, what if there was nothing inside?

Wouldn't they suffer losses?

Hence, this auction came about.

Treating it as a blind box auction.

"Hmph, no wonder it's only the third from the end."

"If the Water Spirit Wood hadn't decayed, it would have been a good item. What a pity..."

Someone in the audience spoke up.

"You all can't afford to share in it, so you're auctioning it to us. Isn't that..."

The person in the audience wanted to continue criticizing but suddenly felt a gaze locking onto him.

He immediately shut his mouth, his eyes filled with mockery.

"Hahaha, esteemed guests, don't worry. What if there's some earth-shattering treasure inside, like the Dragon Ball from the depths of the sea?"

The middle-aged man spoke, attempting to save the situation.

Many people in the crowd sneered at this.

However, there was still a small group of people who were interested, but only in the Water Spirit Wood.

The history of this box was at least tens of thousands of years.

The items inside were most likely decayed as well.

"Stop talking nonsense, just give me a price."

In the audience, a Gold Core cultivator expressed his interest in the box.

Many people around also showed the same expression.

They wanted to see how much the auction house would offer for this box.

The middle-aged man took a deep breath and said in a deep voice,

"The starting bid is 30,000 high-grade spirit stones, and each subsequent bid must be at least 2,000 high-grade spirit stones!"

After his words fell, there were whispers of disapproval in the crowd.

But no one made a bid.

They all felt that this thing was not worth it.

30,000 high-grade spirit stones is equivalent to 3 million medium-grade spirit stones.

What does that mean? Even a Gold Core family couldn't afford it.

"I think your auction house in Tianfu City is just daydreaming!"

Many people mocked, making Chen Feng embarrassed.

They called the people here simple-minded, as if they were in Great Chu.

They didn't seem to be afraid of being resented.

But when Chen Feng looked up at the stage,

He noticed that the middle-aged man's face showed no signs of being inappropriate.

He just waited quietly.

Obviously, he had done this kind of thing many times before.

In the adjacent box, several princesses began to chatter.

They were discussing whether or not to buy this box.

But in the end, they were vetoed.

"Since no one is bidding, then this underwater treasure..."

"Enough, let's start auctioning the next item."

Many people in the audience were dissatisfied, which made the middle-aged man's face look unpleasant.

Chen Feng pondered for a moment, just as the other party was about to announce the auction's failure.

A slightly deep voice resounded.

"30,000 high-grade spirit stones!"

With these words, the whole venue fell silent for a moment.

Then it started to boil.

"No way, someone actually fell for it. Do they really think there's something good inside?"

"Yeah, probably an outsider who doesn't know how deceitful the Tianfu City auction house is."

In the venue, many cultivators whispered to each other.

They all felt it was not worth it, and someone else had been deceived.

These conversations naturally reached Chen Feng's ears.

But Chen Feng didn't care at all.

This auction house was run by the Heavenly Talisman Sect, and he was just temporarily storing the spirit stones with them.

"Congratulations to the distinguished guest in VIP Room No. 1 for winning the Water Spirit Wood Treasure Chest!"

On the stage, the middle-aged man originally thought that this item would not be sold.

He was ready to take it back, or let it fail, or find another city to look for a sucker.

Unexpectedly, someone actually made a bid.

Immediately, he didn't even count down to three, and directly hammered the gavel.

Afraid that the other party would change their mind.

This quick action made Chen Feng's mouth twitch slightly.

It seemed that they had also done this kind of thing many times.

But Chen Feng didn't mind.

After the Water Spirit Wood Treasure Chest was auctioned off, the second-to-last auction continued.

It turned out to be the intact body of a Nascent Soul stage sea beast.

However, Chen Feng had no interest in this item.

After it was auctioned off for over 10,000 high-grade spirit stones, Chen Feng's attitude changed slightly.

He secretly cursed, "What a rip-off!"

"As we approach the end of this auction,"

"I estimate that many people here have come for the final highlight!"

"Without further ado, the Infant Transformation Pill is up for auction!"

"Starting bid: 30,000 high-grade spirit stones! Each subsequent bid must be at least 5,000 high-grade spirit stones!"
