Chapter 259 The Hehuan Sect Master Who Snatches People Everywhere in the Cultivation World (Part 1)
"The next item to be auctioned is the Spirit-Nourishing Fruit, which grows in the Spirit Rhinoceros Secret Realm and bears fruit only once every hundred years. Consuming it can add ten years to one's lifespan. The starting bid is 100,000 high-grade spirit stones!"
The noise was incessant. Le Yan frowned and slowly opened her eyes. She saw a water mirror floating in front of her. In the water mirror, an old man dressed in a plain long robe was hosting an auction on the stage, while the auctioneers below were bidding against each other.
Several question marks appeared above Le Yan's head. What kind of world is this?
Her expression remained unchanged as she leaned back on the soft couch, her almond-shaped eyes sweeping around the antique-style room before she calmly closed them again.
A vast amount of memories flooded her mind. If she hadn't already become accustomed to this kind of experience, she would probably have been overwhelmed by these memories spanning five hundred years.
This is the world of cultivation. The original owner of this body, like her, was named Le Yan, and was the sect leader of the Hehuan Sect, who was both righteous and evil.
Despite being called the righteous path, the Hehuan Sect often does things that are unacceptable to others. Despite being called the demonic path, the Hehuan Sect does not associate with the demons. Therefore, it always stays between the righteous and demonic paths. Being with them is neither good nor bad.
Fortunately, the cultivation world values strength above all else, and the Hehuan Sect is very powerful. In particular, the original owner of the Hehuan Sect was a powerful cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Integration Stage. Otherwise, sooner or later, the Hehuan Sect would have been surrounded.
Right now, the original owner is participating in an auction hosted by the Nine Heavens Chamber of Commerce, with the goal of the third item up for auction—the Fiery Pearl.
Thinking of this, Le Yan opened her eyes, slowly sat up, and looked at the auction scene in the water mirror with a calm expression while feeling excited inside.
Le Yan was excited to be in the world of cultivation for the first time, but also a little nervous.
This kind of world is a high-risk world, where killing is commonplace, and it is extremely dangerous.
Although she possessed the cultivation level of the Integration Stage, it was cultivated by the original owner of the body, not her own. Being new to this place, she couldn't fully grasp this powerful cultivation...
"call--"
Before Le Yan could finish her random thoughts, a gentle breeze suddenly appeared, lifting a few stray strands of hair that had fallen across her cheek.
Then, as if the wind had materialized into half a human hand, it carefully combed her long hair again. A hair ribbon emerged from the Qiankun bag at her waist and was used by the wind to tie up her hair.
Then another bright mirror stood before her, reflecting Le Yan's image, urging her to carefully observe her own appearance.
Le Yan was a little stunned. She subconsciously reached out to touch her hair, but instead touched the wind that should have been invisible.
The wind gently brushed against her fingers, like a little dumpling playfully snuggling up to her.
Suddenly, she remembered that her original body possessed a Heavenly Rank Wind Spirit Root, so this wind...
Le Yan's eyes flashed, and with a thought, she flicked her fingertips, and felt several wisps of breeze transform into wind blades, appearing in her eyes. Then, with a "whoosh," they passed through the mirror, instantly cutting the originally oval mirror into pieces.
Seeing this, Le Yan raised an eyebrow. It seemed that she could control this power.
A faint smile appeared on her lips, and the heavy weight in Le Yan's heart slowly lifted. Since she wasn't possessing a treasure she couldn't use, she wasn't afraid of becoming someone else's prey.
With a huge weight lifted from her heart, Le Yan looked back at the auction and saw that the item that had startled her earlier—the Spirit-Nourishing Fruit—had been successfully sold for three million high-grade spirit stones.
The starting bid was 100,000, and the final price was 3 million, a full thirty times the original price. Le Yan pondered for a moment, how many spirit stones would she need to buy the Fiery Pearl?
Le Yan tapped her pale fingers lightly on the table. She recalled the original owner's background and realized that the Hehuan Sect possessed nearly ten top-grade spiritual veins, which immediately put her at ease.
With such wealth, it's no wonder the original owner could afford to raise a greedy dragon that ate all sorts of colorful pearls as snacks.
Yes, the original owner bought the Fiery Pearl not because it was useful for her own cultivation, but simply to feed the greedy and picky, irritable fire dragon she was raising.
In order to raise the dragon, the original owner searched everywhere for the Five Elements Pearls, and was just short of digging up the Five Elements Spiritual Veins.
Now that a Blazing Fire Pearl containing pure fire elemental power has finally appeared, she rushed over to participate in the auction without hesitation.
Based on her memory, Le Yan quickly found the auction board on the table, determined to get the Fiery Pearl.
"The third item for auction is a Blazing Fire Pearl, condensed from a fire-attribute spiritual vein under the Heavenly Dao Alliance. It contains the purest and most refined fire-attribute spiritual power in the world, which can help fire-attribute cultivators of any grade below the Golden Core stage break through their bottlenecks. The starting bid is one million high-grade spirit stones!"
As soon as the old man finished speaking, countless people immediately began bidding against each other.
"1500000!"
"Two million!"
"three million!"
“ ...... ”
"Eight million!!"
In just a few breaths, the bid had already reached eight million high-grade spirit stones, and it was still rising.
Le Yan watched calmly, not in a hurry to raise the price.
Just like the other people in the private room on the second floor who were also there, there was no movement.
As the numerous auctioneers on the first floor gradually quieted down and the bidding price was fixed at seventeen million high-grade spirit stones, someone on the second floor finally spoke up.
He's the person next door to Leyan.
"Three hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones."
Her voice was clear and cold, like the sound of striking jade, drawing everyone's attention.
After realizing how much the other party had offered, he gasped in shock.
In the cultivation world, the currency is spirit stones, which are further divided into low-grade spirit stones, mid-grade spirit stones, high-grade spirit stones, and top-grade spirit stones.
The exchange rate for each grade of spirit stone is 1 to 100. In other words, 300,000 top-grade spirit stones are equivalent to 30 million high-grade spirit stones.
The Fiery Pearl is indeed precious. For example, it can help fire spirit root cultivators of any grade break through their bottlenecks. Even yellow-grade fire spirit root cultivators can successfully form their core when breaking through from the Foundation Establishment stage to the Golden Core stage with the help of the Fiery Pearl.
However, the auction price of 300,000 top-grade spirit stones was still too high.
Instead of buying the Fiery Pearl, you might as well buy one of the fire-attribute treasures later on.
The people on the first floor finally quieted down. They had no choice but to; they didn't have enough spirit stones to fight over the tiny Fiery Pearl. There were plenty of treasures waiting for them later.
The people on the second floor are also weighing their options.
The scene was very calm for a while. After waiting for a while, and seeing that no one spoke up, Le Yan immediately started to raise the price.
"Three hundred and fifty thousand top-grade spirit stones."
The other party continued, "Four hundred thousand."
Le Yan: "Five hundred thousand."
"Six hundred thousand."
Le Yan: "One million!"
Perhaps not expecting Leyan to bid so aggressively, the other party was stunned for a moment. They wanted to continue bidding, but were afraid that Leyan would chase the price up. After hesitating for a moment, they sighed and closed the bidding board.
Le Yan first heard a soft sigh, and then saw the spirit stone lamp in front of the other party's door go out. With a slight smile, she knew that the Fiery Pearl was hers.
"One million top-grade spirit stones for the first time..."
"One million top-grade spirit stones, second time..."
"One million top-grade spirit stones, sold for the third time...!"
"Congratulations to the distinguished guest in the private room with the character 'Bamboo' on the second floor for successfully acquiring the Fiery Pearl!"
