My construction materials are weird

"Yeah, hope they don't get a steal," someone said.

"I actually hope Eighth High can step up this time, even though I really dislike them."

Eighth High was once again dragged out for a public flogging.

This time, the independent cultivators hoped Eighth High would be heroic and create some competition among the Three Greats, so they wouldn't get everything too easily.

Everyone mixing around in Qingyun Mountain could see that the Three Greats were determined to win.

"I doubt it. Eighth High can't amount to much. I bet they won't dare to compete with the Three Greats."

"I think so too. Eighth High only bullies us independent cultivators and small forces. They're brave and fearless against the weak, but it's hard to say when facing the strong."

"Haha…"

These words drew a burst of laughter from the crowd.

[Without further ado, I believe everyone knows the value of these three treasures. First, the Divine Leaf Talisman… the starting bid is 800,000 points.]

When Li Li announced this number, Yan Lai of the Confucian School nearly fell off his seat, stumbling slightly.

"I knew it, I knew it," Yan Lai muttered with a bitter smile.

The Hall of Merit doesn't care about the Four Greats; how could they let us get a bargain?

"The Confucian School bids 800,000 points."

The Confucian School had no choice but to make the bid.

"Pfft!" The independent cultivators laughed. The Hall of Merit was indeed the most professional when it came to dealing with the Four Greats.

They thought they might get a steal, but the starting bid was 800,000 points. How could they?

[The Daoist School bids 800,000. Are there any other Daoists who wish to bid? Any other Daoists who wish to bid… 800,000 for the first time.]

"It has to be the Daoist School!"

The Confucian School: …

They were stunned. They never expected anyone to compete. They thought they were getting a bargain, but the base price was too high, and they didn't get a deal.

But they should still be able to secure it with a low price of 800,000, right?

The Martial Alliance and the Buddhist School wouldn't dare to compete with them. If those two dared to compete with them, they shouldn't even think about getting the Second-Order Heaven and Earth Furnace or the Second-Order God-Slaying Seal when they're auctioned off later.

This was an unspoken secret, but the Daoist School had made a move.

You stinky Daoist priests, are you bored?

"Fellow Daoists of the Daoist School, do you even have enough points?" Meng Qiao couldn't help but ask.

"Hehe, we can still come up with 810,000. Fellow Daoists of the Confucian School, rest assured," Jiuda said.

"Don't you think you're being too greedy? You've already obtained the Innate Qi Seed, and you still want the Divine Leaf Talisman? Be careful not to bite off more than you can chew. Chief Steward Sun Tong often taught us this. The Daoist School's fellow Daoists haven't forgotten, have they?" Meng Qiao asked.

"Rest assured, fellow Daoists of the Confucian School, we always keep Chief Steward Sun Tong's words in mind," Jiuda replied.

"Daoist School…" Meng Qiao began.

[Ahem, fellow Daoists of the Confucian School, are you threatening someone?] Li Li interrupted directly.

Li Li was displeased. Did they think she wasn't there?

Threatening her customers? What did they want to do?

Even if they were also customers, everyone was a customer.

"No, no, we wouldn't dare to threaten anyone. We're just afraid that the Daoist School's fellow Daoists are bidding fraudulently, so we're reminding them that they don't have many points left," Jiuda quickly explained.

This was the Hall of Merit's auction, not their own.

Actually, this kind of mistake wouldn't have happened normally, but he just couldn't control himself for a moment.

"Confucian School, 830,000!" Meng Qiao continued to raise the price.

[Alright, the Confucian School's fellow Daoist has raised the price to 830,000. Are there any higher bids? The Divine Leaf Talisman has excellent growth potential, unparalleled…]

Seeing the Confucian School raise the price, Li Li immediately forgot her earlier displeasure. Anyone who dared to raise the price was a good customer.

"840,000!" The Daoist School raised the price again.

"Confucian School, 850,000!"

"860,000!"

"Confu…cian… School, 870,000."

"880,000!"

"We, the Confucian School, 890,000!" If looks could kill, Meng Qiao's gaze would have killed Jiuda of the Daoist School countless times. It was too infuriating.

"This isn't good, Chief. That poor Daoist School is just stirring things up!" Wu Gang saw through the scheme.

The Daoist School was very unwilling. If they couldn't profit, they wouldn't let others profit either, at least the price had to exceed the price of their Innate Qi Seed; otherwise, their Daoist School wouldn't accept it.

As for offending the Three Greats?

Did the Daoist School care about offending the Three Greats? They offended each other every day, every moment. They were old rivals and didn't care at all.

"Confucian School, 910,000! The Daoist School's fellow Daoists can stop now," Wu Gang said.

[The Martial Alliance is warning you for the first time. Don't threaten my customers. Even if you complain to Chief Steward Sun, you will be punished.] Li Li immediately stood up protectively.

It was too annoying; there was always someone who wanted to threaten her customers. The Daoist School was so cute; how could they bear to threaten them?

At this moment, Li Li found the Daoist School very pleasing, very pleasing indeed.

"Ahem, we wouldn't dare!" Wu Gang said awkwardly. He really couldn't restrain himself.

Who could restrain themselves in this situation?

[910,000 for the first time… 910,000 for the third time, congratulations to the Confucian School for winning the bid for the Divine Leaf Talisman, sold!]

Li Li kept glancing at the Daoist School, but they remained unmoved.

They weren't raising the price anymore.

"Phew!" The Confucian School breathed a sigh of relief, finally winning the bid.

Damn Daoist priests, just you wait.

"Phew!" The Martial Alliance and the Buddhist School also breathed a sigh of relief. It was still acceptable; it hadn't exceeded one million, so it was acceptable.

While breathing a sigh of relief, they quickly reviewed the situation and seemed to understand something.

They just had to wait for the next item to confirm it.

[The Second-Order Heaven and Earth Furnace, starting bid 800,000, bidding begins!]

Li Li started directly.

"Martial Alliance, 800,000!"

"Daoist School, 810,000!"

"Martial Alliance, 820,000!"

"Daoist School, 830,000!"

"…"

"Martial Alliance, 870,000!"

"Daoist School, 880,000!"

"…"

"Haha, the Daoist School is mighty! As expected, we still have to watch the Four Greats, it's too exciting!"

Seeing this, the independent cultivators also understood. The Daoist School was purely causing trouble. If they couldn't get it, they wouldn't let others have it either, at least the price had to exceed the price of their Innate Qi Seed; otherwise, their Daoist School wouldn't accept it.

As for offending the Three Greats?

Did the Daoist School offend the Three Greats? They were constantly offending each other every day, every moment. They were old rivals and didn't care at all.

"Martial Alliance, 910,000. The Daoist School's fellow Daoists can stop now," Wu Gang said.

[The Martial Alliance is being warned for the first time. Don't threaten my customers. Even if you report it to Chief Steward Sun, you will be punished.] Li Li immediately stood up to protect her customers.

It was too annoying; there was always someone who wanted to threaten her customers. The Daoist School was so lovable; how could you bear to threaten them?

At this moment, Li Li found the Daoist School very pleasing to the eye, very pleasing indeed.

"Ahem, we wouldn't dare!" Wu Gang said awkwardly. He really couldn't restrain himself.

Who could restrain themselves in this situation?

[910,000 for the first time… 910,000 for the third time, congratulations to the Martial Alliance for winning the bid for the Second-Order Heaven and Earth Furnace, sold!]

Li Li saw that things were progressing quickly and quickly hammered down the gavel.

The Martial Alliance was both delighted and depressed, delighted that they had achieved their wish, and depressed that the Daoist School was a troublemaker.

Fortunately, everything was worth it.

[Now bidding on the third treasure, the God-Slaying Seal, starting bid 800,000! Please bid!]

Li Li seamlessly continued the auction.

“Amitabha, the Buddhist Sect bids… 910,000!” Grandmaster Jingguang of the Buddhist Sect announced the price with a smile.

And he looked at the Daoist Sect with a gentle expression.

Daoist Sect: … …

Casual cultivators eating melons: … …

Minghui was very proud at this moment, knowing that he wouldn't be tricked by the Daoist Sect. He was grateful to the Martial Alliance and the Confucian Sect for exploring the path for him.

“Ahem, the Buddhist Sect is generous. We won’t participate in the bidding,” said Jiu Da of the Daoist Sect.

Everyone looked at him. He didn't expect the bald donkey to play this card, so he could only say this.

【910,000 for the first time… 910,000 for the second time… 910,000 for the third time… Sold!】

This time it was much more straightforward.

Without a single mistake, a song, a release, an inner, a content, a look!

“Hmph!” Sun Hui snorted coldly, even hating the Buddhist Sect.

The Buddhist Sect's actions made them seem very stupid, even though it fit the image of crude martial artists.

He couldn't express his suffering. The Confucian Sect was the first to eat melons and was tricked by the Daoist Sect. No one knew that the Confucian Sect's gradual increase in price was correct.

The Martial Alliance was the second, which was a bit uncomfortable. Doing the same as the Buddhist Sect, they were afraid of suffering losses.

Not doing this, and gradually increasing the price, would also be fine.

But the Buddhist Sect, the third party, directly offered 910,000, which made the Martial Alliance seem a bit stupid.

“I've remembered you, bald donkey and bull-nosed Taoist, you just wait,” Sun Hui thought.

【Congratulations to the Buddhist Sect, congratulations, congratulations!】

“Boom!” The crowd burst into warm applause.

This auction was too dramatic, a contest between the four major factions, especially the Daoist Sect's contribution, making the casual cultivators excited.

【Alright, the last item for auction today: the Mother Nest!】

“There’s more?”

“Ah, this?! ” The cultivators were truly shocked three times in one day.

They didn't expect there to be auction items after the three supreme treasures.

“Mother Nest, what is that? It’s ranked after the three supreme treasures?”

“I don’t know. Many of today’s auction items have exceeded expectations. Many are unheard of and unseen. I’m already confused.”

“Mother Nest? Could it be related to Lady Star Mother Yuan Jun?”

The crowd discussed, and their guesses gradually approached the truth.

【Mother Nest, as the name suggests, is the literal meaning. It is a growing spiritual beast bestowed by Lady Star Mother Yuan Jun to congratulate Chief Steward Sun Tong, or it can be called a supreme treasure. There is a Zerg Queen in the Mother Nest, which can be recognized and refined… According to Lady Star Mother Yuan Jun’s introduction, given time and resources, it can grow to the same level as her.】

【I believe everyone already understands the preciousness of this item. A Mother Nest is a Zerg army, representing all possibilities… The starting price of the Mother Nest is 500,000, and the bidding starts now, bang bang bang!】

Li Li was swift and decisive, starting directly without even giving a chance to buffer.

“Ah!”

This was the general reaction of the cultivators present.

“It was actually personally nurtured by Lady Star Mother Yuan Jun. According to President Li’s introduction, doesn’t that mean that obtaining the Mother Nest is equivalent to obtaining the Zerg?”

“That’s right, but President Li also said that it requires sufficient time and resources. This point cannot be ignored. Even according to many records, the Zerg are extremely powerful, but their resource consumption ability is equally unbelievable.”

“No, you’ve reversed the cause and effect. With a spiritual beast like the Zerg, would you still lack resources? Does Qingyun Mountain lack resources?”

“That’s right, you’re right. That’s indeed the situation.”

This person did not refute, feeling that his companion was right.

With a Zerg army, would they still be afraid of lacking resources?

The heaven-defying aspect of the Zerg is that the beginning is difficult. Once it grows, it will inevitably become a sweeping force.

“But President Li also said that even if a cultivator refines it, they are not the first master, this?”

“This what? Is this something you should be considering? Do you still want to use the Mother Nest to deal with Lady Star Mother Yuan Jun?”

“Don’t talk nonsense, I didn’t, I, I just, I… … ”

“Alright, stop with the I, I, I. It’s just like Lord Star Devouring Vine, aren’t you still serving your Star Devouring Vine spiritual seed like a father? Why can’t you wrap your head around it here?”

“Uh? You’re right.”

… …

【Is there no one bidding? If there are no bids, we will have a failed auction.】

Seeing that everyone hadn’t bid for a long time, Li Li reminded them in a roundabout way.

She actually understood very well that everyone was thinking.

“The Spirit Beast Sect bids 500,000!” Sun Bole of the Spirit Beast Sect was the first to bid.

It must be said that they were the most suitable.

In fact, Sun Bole also thought about it after hearing it, but he thought a bit too much, such as whether he could use the Mother Nest as his natal beast imprint to seize the body.

If he could, that would be great.

It would be equivalent to having a Zerg clone, and he wouldn’t have to worry about the first master being Star Mother Yuan Jun.

However, he felt that the hope was not great. Lady Star Mother Yuan Jun probably wouldn’t agree.

The reason he still bid was because even if he couldn’t seize the body to become a natal beast imprint, just a Mother Nest spiritual beast was worth it.

The Spirit Beast Sect is an expert in cultivating spiritual beasts.

Once they have a nuclear weapon like the Zerg Mother Nest, then… …

“510,000, the University Alliance bids 510,000!”

“520,000, the Warriors Alliance bids 520,000!”

“The Weapon Refinement Alliance bids 530,000!”

“Listening Tower bids 540,000!”

“The Small World Alliance bids 550,000!”

“The Origin Array Sect bids 560,000!”

“The Hundred Herbs Pavilion bids 570,000!”

After the University Alliance, the eight major factions started to increase the price in what seemed to be an orderly manner.

Because they also thought that if the Spirit Beast Sect obtained it, and the Spirit Beast Sect had the Mother Nest, their seven factions would be widened the gap by the Spirit Beast Sect.

The four major factions also thought of this, but after thinking about it, even with the Mother Nest, the Spirit Beast Sect would not be comparable to them.

Moreover, they were not without gains in this auction.

Therefore, the most worried were not the four major factions, but the eight middle factions.

Let’s just watch the excitement.

“The Spirit Beast Sect bids 670,000!”

“… … ”

“The Small World Alliance bids 730,000!”

“… … ”

“The University Alliance bids 820,000!”

Soon, with the accumulation of the eight middle factions, the price reached 820,000.

Moreover, there was no sign of weakening.

“Wow! So rich, are the eight middle factions so rich?” the casual cultivators said in surprise.

“That’s because they are going all out. The four major factions are just playing around,” a companion said.

“Yeah.” This person nodded and said: “Once the Spirit Beast Sect obtains it, the eight middle factions will become one major and seven middle factions, so the seven middle factions are desperately fighting for it, regardless of the cost.”

“That’s right!”

… …

“1,010,000, the Spirit Beast Sect bids 1,010,000.” Sun Bole said tremblingly.

While speaking, he also used his eyes to instruct his subordinates. The subordinates nodded understandingly, and then left immediately.

They went to prepare the points, and they had to sell some of their assets at a low price to prepare one million points.
