Chapter 67: Matching Bowls with Appropriate Food

"6,000 Source Stones~"

At this moment, in a private room on the second floor, someone started bidding.

"7,000 Source Stones."

It wasn't just one person. After the first person, others also spoke up.

Soul Refining Immortal Medicine, which can be used for cultivation, is extremely rare in this world.

And Purple Yuan Immortal Grass is one of the most precious among them.

Such a great medicine is attractive even to cultivators at the Seventh Realm.

"Senior Brother, should we buy it?"

Inside the private room, Mao Ruxue turned to Chen Chang'an and asked.

"Add another 1,000." Chen Chang'an said.

"Oh, alright, Senior Brother."

"8,000 Source Stones."

Soon, Mao Ruxue entered the number 8,000 on the jade screen.

"10,000 Source Stones!"

As soon as Mao Ruxue made her bid, someone immediately outbid her.

And they even raised the price by an additional 2,000 Source Stones.

The allure of Purple Yuan Immortal Grass to the world was fully displayed at this moment.

Not to mention others, even Xuanqingzi on the side was somewhat tempted.

He had been in the Fifth Realm for hundreds of years.

But until now, he hadn't even fully cultivated his Five Organs, let alone the Sixth Divine Treasure.

The appearance of a Purple Yang Immortal Grass undoubtedly had an irresistible temptation for him.

However, when he thought about the money in his wallet, Xuanqingzi shook his head and gave up.

Even if he could acquire the Purple Yang Immortal Grass with his remaining Source Stones.

He didn't have the financial resources to hire someone to refine it into an Immortal Pill.

An unrefined Purple Yang Immortal Grass would greatly reduce its effectiveness, not worth the cost.

Moreover, although he still had so many Source Stones, he also had many disciples to cultivate.

Such a scale did not allow him to spend so recklessly.

So, in the end, Xuanqingzi could only shake his head, sigh, and give up.

"11,000 Source Stones."

Just at this moment, someone from the first floor made a higher bid.

This was normal. Although those invited to the private rooms on the second floor were high-level and valuable individuals.

It didn't mean that there were no valuable individuals on the first floor.

Nothing in this world is absolute.

Although over 10,000 Source Stones is a lot, some exceptional cultivators at the Fourth or Fifth Realm could still manage it with some effort.

So they also participated in the bidding.

"Senior Brother, should we continue to raise the bid?"

Seeing this situation, Mao Ruxue turned back and asked Chen Chang'an.

"No need, it's meaningless."

Chen Chang'an shook his head.

"Oh, okay."

Mao Ruxue responded and stopped gesturing on the jade screen, instead quietly watching the situation unfold in the venue.

Seeing those people in the venue bidding thousands or even tens of thousands of Source Stones, Mao Ruxue was filled with envy.

It would be so great if she had all that money.

"23,000 Source Stones!"

In the end, this table of Purple Yuan Immortal Grass was bought for 23,000 Source Stones.

However, what surprised everyone was that the person who bought the Purple Yuan Immortal Grass was not anyone from the private rooms on the second floor, but a seemingly inconspicuous man in a black robe mingling in the first-floor hall.

After buying the Purple Yuan Immortal Grass, the man immediately surrounded himself and quickly left the venue.

After the man left, three or five people looked at each other and followed suit, leaving one after another.

A trace of ruthlessness was visible in each person's eyes.

What would happen next was basically predictable.

Many people saw this scene.

But no one paid any attention.

Murdering for treasures, cheating, and pushing others against the wall, these things happen every day in the cultivation world, so people are used to it.

And to put it bluntly.

Although it seemed like the man in the black robe was weak in the current situation.

But in the end, who is the hunter and who is the prey is still uncertain.

Compared to this matter, what everyone is more concerned about is the second item to be auctioned next.

The first item was already so sensational, so how extraordinary will the second item be?

It will definitely be mind-blowing!

Sure enough, it did not disappoint the crowd.

In the next moment, the old man Wang Changqing on the stage brought up a fairy sword that was about one to two meters long and emitted a misty aura all over.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the second item we are going to auction is the Purple-Green Immortal Sword."

"The Purple-Green Immortal Sword was refined by the ancient sword master Tai Mo with all his cultivation before his death."

"Afterward, this immortal sword was lost in the Divine Abyss and its whereabouts are unknown."

"It was accidentally obtained by a demon lord when he entered the Divine Abyss seeking opportunities not long ago."

"And he entrusted me to auction it yesterday."

"The Purple-Green Immortal Sword has a smooth and translucent blade, possessing the essence and partial inheritance of the invincible lifetime of the ancient sword master Tai Mo."

"Obtaining it is like obtaining the inheritance of an ancient sword master."

"From then on, a carp leaps over the Dragon Gate."

"One sword's coldness encompasses nineteen provinces!"

"The starting price is ten thousand Source Stones!"

"The bidding increment must not be less than one thousand Source Stones."

"You may begin bidding!"

After speaking, Wang Changqing fiercely struck the auction hammer on the table.

Dong!

This sound of striking also signaled the start of the bidding.

In the next moment, the impatient crowd immediately started bidding.

"Thirty thousand Source Stones, I bid thirty thousand Source Stones!"

"I bid forty thousand!"

"I bid fifty thousand!"

In the blink of an eye, the previously quiet venue immediately became noisy.

People were bidding everywhere.

A sword with the inheritance of a Seven Realm Sword Master, such temptation was simply deadly!

Not to mention ordinary people, even for the top ten sects, it was equally deadly!

Although there were not few Seven Realm inheritances among the top ten sects.

But one must know, those were the results accumulated over endless years.

Moreover, each of these Seven Realm inheritances had its own unique power.

So, everyone started bidding one after another.

After all, for every additional inheritance, it meant that the sect would have one more foundation.

Who wouldn't want their own foundation to become even more abundant?

In the private room on the second floor, seeing this scene, Chen Chang'an couldn't help but furrow his brows.

He was contemplating whether he should make a move or not.

The inheritance of a Seven Realm Ancient Sword Master was equally important to the Heavenly Water Sect.

"What's wrong, Senior Brother, are you thinking of buying it?" Mao Ruxue saw the expression on Chen Chang'an's face and asked with some confusion.

"Never mind, I won't buy it."

In the end, after thinking it over, Chen Chang'an dismissed the idea.

You reap what you sow.

With the foundation of the Heavenly Water Sect, it simply couldn't bear the consequences brought by this immortal sword.

Although he could intervene when necessary, it was not a good idea.

What's the difference between causing trouble for oneself?

Doing such a foolish thing, only someone with a scrambled brain like Chen Chang'an would do it.

Chen Chang'an didn't bid for the following auction items.

Instead, he sat quietly and watched the various struggles of the people in the venue with Xuanqingzi and others.

Until...

The appearance of the ninth auction item, the 'Confucian Book', changed the situation.
