Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Second-Tier Thunder Technique, Red Sky Thunder
As soon as this price was announced, the originally bustling scene fell silent.
No one expected that someone would instantly raise the bid by ten thousand spirit stones.
This made many people struggle in their hearts.
They started hesitating whether to continue bidding.
Because according to the normal market price, the price of one Foundation Establishment Pill is roughly between twenty to twenty-five thousand spirit stones.
At the moment, the price of twenty-eight thousand spirit stones obviously exceeded the usual market price.
Most importantly, if they continued bidding, the price of the Foundation Establishment Pill would undoubtedly be pushed even higher.
The final deal price might even reach thirty thousand spirit stones.
That’s a bit too exaggerated.
At least most people think it is not worthy and unwise.
After all, in the upcoming auctions, there will undoubtedly appear a second, third, and even fourth Foundation Establishment Pill.
To use all their spirit stones to fight for that one Foundation Establishment Pill at this moment is truly unwise.
Moreover, due to certain thoughts unknown to outsiders, they didn’t want to draw so much attention at this time.
After all, the method to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill next, besides auctioning at this venue, can also be achieved in other unknown ways.
So...
With various thoughts, no one else came forward to bid during this time.
This led to the Foundation Establishment Pill in Xue Yuling’s hand ultimately falling into Ji Haoyuan’s hands.
Watching the jade bottle containing the Foundation Establishment Pill being delivered, Ji Bochang couldn’t help but show some excitement.
Just this one Foundation Establishment Pill, if all goes well, might enable Ji Family to add another Foundation Establishment cultivator.
However, Ji Bochang quickly realized something.
His expression became a bit solemn as he looked at Ji Haoyuan and pondered:
"Haoyuan, the purpose of our visit to this auction has been achieved. Do we depart now?"
Ji Bochang knows that although the purpose of their visit has been achieved, true success is still some distance away.
After all, holding such a "treasure" without drawing others’ covetous eyes is absolutely impossible.
Next, they need to consider how to safely bring the Foundation Establishment Pill back.
And the primary premise is they absolutely can’t wait for the entire auction to end.
They have to leave Exquisite Treasure Pavilion and even Crimson Sunset Immortal City before this auction ends completely.
Ji Haoyuan is also well aware of Ji Bochang’s concerns.
But he is more focused on the possible upcoming war between the righteous and the demonic.
They need more methods, resources, and trump cards to defend against the possible future war.
And there is nothing more suitable than the treasures appearing at this auction.
So.
After much thought, Ji Haoyuan spoke to Ji Bochang:
"Forefather, we still have some spirit stones remaining in our hands.
So I think if possible, it’s best to acquire more treasures for Ji Family to enhance our foundation and make some preparations for possible future changes.
What do you think?"
The implication was that they could leave early but not now.
Ji Bochang hesitated slightly and then nodded with determination.
"Alright! We’ll do as you say!"
Several hours later.
Ji Haoyuan and Ji Bochang have acquired several valuable treasures and spirit pills.
These things were purchased during those hours from the auction.
Just as the two were packing up, preparing to leave the auction venue, Xue Yuling suddenly spoke with a smile:
"Next, we will auction an item entrusted by a distinguished guest.
This item won’t be traded for spirit stones.
According to the entrustor, this item can only be auctioned for spiritual objects of equivalent value.
And the item with the highest priority is naturally formed earth attribute spiritual objects."
Xue Yuling’s words surprised many in the audience.
Even Ji Haoyuan and Ji Bochang, already at the room door, paused slightly.
To have Exquisite Treasure Pavilion auction such an item means the provider’s identity must be extraordinary.
However, everyone’s curiosity is mainly about the item itself.
What could be so valuable to compare with naturally formed spiritual objects?
Such spiritual objects born of heaven and earth, if they reach the second-tier, many can serve as the main auxiliary material for Foundation Establishment Pills.
Their true value isn’t much less than the Five Elements Essence.
Just as the audience speculated in their hearts, Xue Yuling on the auction stage took out a jade slip and smiled at everyone present:
"This item is a second-tier Thunder Technique named Red Sky Thunder, which upon successful cultivation can summon heavenly thunder against enemies with impressive power."
"What? A second-tier Thunder Technique, Red Sky Thunder?"
Seeing what Xue Yuling took out, everyone couldn’t help but be shocked.
A second-tier Thunder Technique is undoubtedly a precious item.
If one truly obtains this technique and successfully cultivates it, it would greatly enhance any Foundation Establishment cultivator’s combat power.
No one would remain unmoved.
However, such a technique that could serve as a legacy for a considerable force only requires a naturally formed earth attribute spiritual object?
Isn’t that a bit too cheap?
Considering the rarity of the Thunder Technique, it can perpetually serve as a legacy.
In comparison, even natural second-tier earth attribute spiritual objects seem somewhat inferior.
Indeed.
Just as the audience wondered, they heard Xue Yuling on the stage say:
"It’s just that this second-tier Thunder Technique is somewhat incomplete.
Although it can still be cultivated according to the jade slip’s contents, it will require more resources than cultivating a complete Thunder Technique."
So that’s why.
Upon hearing Xue Yuling’s final words, everyone suddenly understood.
No wonder.
They weren’t worried about the Thunder Technique having issues.
After all, the credibility of the Exquisite Treasure Pavilion is trusted by everyone.
However, this significantly diminishes the technique’s value.
"Alright.
Next, if any fellow cultivators are interested in this Thunder Technique, you may now place bids."
Xue Yuling didn’t waste time and immediately announced the start of bidding.
Upon hearing her words, some people present began trying to bid.
Earth Essence Fruit, Yellow Radiance Flower, Seed of Wood and Earth...
Indeed.
The spiritual objects mentioned by those bidding were all second-tier earth attribute natural spiritual objects.
But they were still somewhat inferior to truly top-notch second-tier earth attribute spiritual objects.
As Xue Yuling weighed and compared the values of the offered spiritual objects, another voice suddenly emerged from the crowd.
"Earth Profound Fruit.
I am willing to use this fruit to exchange for the second-tier Thunder Technique."
