?

  Although this ice silkworm snow garment is exquisite and practical, compared to the spirit shield with similar effects, it's much more expensive. Only those female cultivators who love beauty and have wealth would be willing to spend a high price for it.

  At first, there was only one female bidder, and compared to the previous few treasures that were auctioned off, it seemed a bit dull. Liu Jing felt slightly disappointed in his heart, but then someone directly added 2,000 yuan, and he suddenly became excited.

  "Now, the friend of No. 231 has bid up to 7,000 lower-grade spirit stones. It seems that this friend must have a beautiful Dao companion as lovely as a flower. What are you other friends waiting for? Hurry up and bid!" Liu Jing continued to stir up the excitement.

  But there were few who responded below, after all, the female cultivators in the audience were fewer, and those with dual cultivation partners were even fewer, and those who were willing to spend so many spirit stones were even fewer.

  "Is no one bidding anymore? Ah, it seems that Daoist 231 is indeed lucky. If Liu had a beautiful dual cultivation partner, he would have kept it for himself... Is no one really bidding anymore? If no one continues to bid, this Ice Silkworm Snow Robe will go..."

  "Seven thousand five hundred lower-grade spirit stones!" The voice of the first female cultivator to bid rang out once more. It had taken her so long to make a bid, clearly after a fierce internal struggle.

  Li Hui heard the nun's quote and smiled slightly, understanding her thoughts. He thought that 7,500 was probably her bottom line. He calmly opened his mouth and said: "8,000 low-grade spirit stones!"

  Liu Jing's eyebrows rose slightly, and a hint of joy appeared on his face: "Now the 321st fellow daoist has bid up to 8,000 lower-grade spirit stones. Is anyone else going to make a bid?"

  But below was a sea of silence, with no one responding.

  "Is there really no one bidding? This Ice Silkworm Snow Coat is not only exquisite in appearance, but its defensive power is also comparable to that of a high-quality spiritual artifact shield. Moreover, it doesn't require special attention to control, making it both beautiful and practical, a rare treasure indeed!" Liu Jing made one last effort.

  Li Hui smiled calmly, and what Liu Jing said was not false. However, this price was also quite high, but for Li Hui's family background, these spiritual stones were nothing.

  After another short while, still no one bid, Liu Jing announced: "Well, this Ice Silkworm Snow Coat will belong to Daoist friend number 231!" His face was still smiling, without revealing any abnormality.

  In fact, the price at which this Ice Silkworm Cloak was sold has already reached the expected value of the Divine Workshop, it's just that they didn't make a huge profit from it, but the Divine Workshop wouldn't mind.

  On the stand, the beautiful maid who was trying on the clothes had already taken off the Ice Silkworm Snow Clothes, removed the Blood Contract, re-packaged it and put it back in the wooden box and took it to the back.

  "Alright, let's move on to the next item. This one is definitely worth bidding for all of you Taoist friends present..."

  ……

  The auction continued, and several more highly sought-after items appeared, sparking several rounds of excitement.

  The auction ended with satisfaction from both the sellers and bidders, even those who didn't make a purchase felt enlightened by the experience, and the auction was set to continue for another two days.

  However, most of the things that were taken out on the first day were just some foundation-building items. It seems that the truly precious treasures worth taking out by those Golden Dan cultivators should still be in the second or third day's batch.

  After the first day's auction ended, someone immediately came in and took each participating monk to a prepared guest room at the back, which was also for confidentiality of the monks' identities.

  Li Hui was quite satisfied with the guest room prepared by Shen Gongfang, although it was not large, but very elegant, and also set up simple restrictions to prevent someone from disturbing him.

  Afterwards, Li Hui sat in meditation and cultivation in this guest room. It wasn't that he was cultivating so bitterly, but rather that in this unfamiliar place, one naturally had to be more vigilant. He couldn't just fall asleep here, so sitting in meditation and cultivation allowed him to rest his spirit while also maintaining his vigilance.

  Nothing happened overnight, but the auction began early on the second day.

  "Fellow Taoists, I'm sure many of you have already snapped up the items you've been eyeing yesterday, but there are still many who haven't made a move. Today's auction will definitely make all of you even more satisfied! Those who haven't acted yet, be sure to pay attention, and those who have already acted, don't let your guard down either - who knows, today's treasures might just excite all of you even more!"

  The auction was still hosted by Liu Jing, with Yang De and Gao Yuanzhong in charge of appraisal. Of course, there were two Golden Elixir cultivators present to prevent any accidents from happening.

  "Fellow Taoist friends, I won't say more nonsense. Next, let's show you the first auction item of today!"

  In Liu Jing's voice, a beautiful maid had already walked out from behind, but in her hand was a black wooden tray, on which was covered with a piece of brocade cloth, the brocade cloth was irregularly bulging, as if there was a stubborn stone underneath.

  The maid placed the wooden tray on the stand and stepped back to stand quietly beside it.

  "Fellow Taoist friends, today's first auction item, I believe will have many fellow Taoists, especially those in the Golden Elixir stage, excited."

  Liu Jing, however, put away the smile that had been on his face and said with a few serious words, the more he did so, the more curious the cultivators below became.

  Many Jindan cultivators have released their divine sense for exploration, but they were all blocked by that brocade cloth. It seems that the brocade cloth is not an ordinary item either.

  Liu Jing carefully lifted the silk cloth: "Today's first auction item is the Red Refining Iron Essence!" His voice suddenly rose.

  "What! The essence of refined iron!" A cultivator below shouted out loud, suddenly standing up, clearly extremely excited.

  "Refined iron essence! Is this really it?" Someone else exclaimed excitedly.

  ……

  Under the stage, several people suddenly stood up one after another, and their voices couldn't hide the excitement in their hearts.

  Li Hui took a glance and noticed that these excited people were mostly those who had not made a move yesterday, which meant that eight or nine out of ten were Golden Dan stage cultivators!

  This crimson essence can make even a Golden Elixir cultivator lose their composure; it's certainly no ordinary object.

  "Gentlemen, please remain seated!" A majestic and awe-inspiring voice rang out, as everyone in the room felt a surge of pressure. It was Yang De yuan who suddenly stood up, his expression indifferent as he swept his gaze across the crowd below.

  Those monks who had stood up then realized their mistake and sat down again.

  Yang Deyuan then withdrew his oppressive aura, walked to the front of the stage, and carefully examined the auction item in his hand. Everyone below could see clearly that it was an irregularly-shaped crimson metal block about the size of a palm, which looked like a piece of fiery red charcoal in his hand.

  "That's right, this is indeed a very pure red refined iron essence, weighing as much as ten catties. I guarantee the quality of this thing with my reputation." Yang De said calmly and then returned to his seat.

  Below was another commotion, Yang Deyuan's attainments in refining equipment were also famous throughout the entire Ziwu City, and he guaranteed with his reputation that there would be no problems at all.

  "Fellow Taoists, I'm sure you've all confirmed that this is indeed a piece of Red Refining Iron Essence. The value of Red Refining Iron Essence doesn't need to be elaborated on. A large piece like this can be used to refine a magical treasure, with a starting price of 300,000 low-grade spirit stones. Fellow Taoists who are interested, please make your move!"

  This time Liu Jing's introduction was brief and concise, because he knew that there was no need to say more, this red hot iron would inevitably be snatched up.

  Refined iron essence, a top-grade material for refining fire-attribute artifacts. Even a Golden Elixir cultivator can use this refined iron to refine a high-quality artifact of the Human Stage. If a Nascent Soul cultivator refines it with other materials, there's also a great possibility of creating an Earth Stage artifact.

  "Five million low-grade spirit stones!"

  "80,000!"

  "900,000!"

  "110,000!"

  ……

  The bidding voices came one after another, and the bidders were naturally all Golden Dan period cultivators. The bids were also rising rapidly, with each increase in price being in units of tens of thousands, and not even a few thousand!

  Li Hui calmly watched the excited Golden Elixir cultivators on the scene. He didn't need to worry about the treasure anymore, even after advancing to the Golden Elixir stage, Yuan Huan's immortal mansion left behind several treasures, and there were more materials for refining equipment.

  "Now, fellow Daoist number 103 has bid 1.5 million lower-grade spirit stones. Is anyone going to raise the price?" Liu Jing's voice was filled with excitement.

  "1.6 million!"

  "1.7 million!"

  When the bid reached 1.7 million lower-grade spirit stones, a brief silence appeared below, 1.7 million, this price can directly buy a piece of magic treasure, but of course, it is still more suitable to refine it yourself, however, just one material has such a huge price, many people have to weigh it carefully.

  "1.8 million!" Someone else broke the silence and called out an even higher price.

  "Alright, now fellow daoist number 205 has bid eighteen thousand lower-grade spirit stones. Is there anyone else who will make a bid?" Liu Jing asked.

  "Two hundred thousand!"

  This time, the bidder is still No. 103 from before, it seems he is determined to get this piece of Red Steel Essence.

  "Alright, Fellow Daoist No. 103 has bid up to 200,000 low-grade spirit stones. Is anyone else going to bid?"

  ……

  In the end, no one added a price, and this piece of red refined iron was bought by No. 103 at a high price.

  It's almost seven times higher than the auction price! Li Hui also secretly whistled, these Golden Elixir cultivators are indeed worth a lot.
