Three hundred and sixty Black Crystal Coins was almost the price of a luxurious villa in Dark Night City. To an ordinary commoner, this was an unimaginable amount of money. However, in this auction, it was just a three-hundred-year-old Earth Ghost Grass.
Xiao Chen couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. It seemed that cultivation was really expensive. A mere herb that could stabilize one's mind during a breakthrough could actually be bought at such a high price. However, Xiao Chen, who had yet to truly come into contact with the world of Spirit Masters, did not know how important it was to stabilize one's mind during a breakthrough.
After reaching the Spirit Master realm, cultivators would truly be able to differentiate between high and low. When breaking through the original realm during cultivation, there was a high chance that there would be mental demons in the soul that would interfere. There might be mountains of gold and silver in front of them, or there might be fine wine and beautiful women, or there might be scars hidden in the soul. As long as they relaxed their thoughts of breaking through at this most critical moment, it was already fortunate that they failed to break through. If they were unlucky, it was also possible that they would go berserk and lose all their spiritual power. Therefore, the cultivators present couldn't help but excitedly bid for this three-hundred-year-old Earth Ghost Grass that could stabilize one's mind.
As precious spiritual items were auctioned off at high prices, Xiao Chen gradually got used to it. After a piece of obsidian was auctioned off, it was his turn to auction off the spiritual core of the Second Grade Spirit Beast, the Great Butterfly Moth.
"I think everyone will be interested in the next item.”
The beautiful woman on the auction stage smiled, and the faint hint of lust at the corner of her mouth instantly rippled, as if it made the flowers lose their color. With a wave of her hand, the attendant behind hurriedly brought over a jade plate covered with bright red silk cloth and placed it on the stage.
"This is the spirit core of a Second Grade Spirit Beast, the Great Butterfly Moth.”
Before she could finish her sentence, her slender hand grabbed a corner of the red silk cloth and suddenly lifted it. A green crystal core appeared in front of everyone. Under the focus of the light, the green crystal core appeared even more dazzling.
However, what shocked everyone present was the spiritual energy fluctuation emitted by this spirit core. Even a spiritual knight who had just entered the threshold of cultivation knew that the grade of this spirit core was definitely not low.
"This spirit core is completely preserved and there are almost no traces of it being used. The spiritual energy contained within has been preserved to the greatest extent. Therefore, whether it is to be embedded on a spirit weapon to increase its power or used for refining medicine, it is definitely a top-notch choice.”
Her seductive red lips parted slightly, and the soft voice that came out of her mouth made everyone's bones tingle. In the back row of the venue, some men even stretched their right hands below, their eyes filled with desire as they stared at the towering bulge and perfect curves. They could not help but move their bodies in their seats.
"I'm sure everyone has been waiting anxiously. Now, let's announce the starting price of this Great Butterfly Moth Spirit Core-five hundred Black Crystal Coins.”
"Seven hundred!"
Before the woman could finish her sentence, someone had already called out a price. Xiao Chen knew the person who called out the price. It was Zhang Quande, the owner of the Hundred Herbs Shop in the city. His medicinal herb shop had almost monopolized the entire medicinal herb market in Dark Night City. Naturally, he was eager to buy the spirit core of the Great Butterfly Moth.
"Nine hundred!"
Almost instantly, someone raised the price.
"A thousand!"
Zhang Quande, Third Master Zhang, glared at the person who made the bid and raised the price.
"The guest in the seventh VIP room bids 1,500 Black Crystal Coins.”
Before Third Master Zhang could retract his threatening gaze, a servant in the VIP room next to Xiao Chen called out a bid. It seemed that it was a little impossible for Third Master Zhang to get the spirit core. Xiao Chen smiled slightly.
Sure enough, after hearing the word " distinguished guest ", Third Master Zhang's arrogance instantly fell. He sat down obediently. Even if he was forced, he would not dare to compete with the distinguished guests in the auction's VIP room. Those who could sit in the VIP room were at least the distinguished guests of the Xu family of Changlong Auction House. As a small medicinal herb merchant, he definitely could not afford to offend them.
"The guest in VIP room number two bids 1,800 Black Crystal Coins.”
However, even if he, Third Master Zhang, didn't bid, it didn't mean that there weren't others who did. The person in the other VIP room instantly raised the price by 300 Black Crystal Coins, and the bidding started again.
┅┅
The price continued to soar, and in the blink of an eye, it had reached the height of 3,000 Black Crystal Coins.
Xiao Chen, who was sitting in the VIP room, couldn't help but be excited. He had underestimated the spirit core of the big butterfly moth, especially the attraction of this kind of spirit core that had never been used and was in good condition to the cultivators present.
Under the instigation of the gorgeous woman on the high platform, the price once again rose a little, stopping at the price of 5,000 Black Crystal Coins, and the number of people bidding decreased by a lot.
"The guest in VIP room number six bids seven thousand Black Crystal Coins.”
A faint voice rang out from the VIP room upstairs, raising the bid by 2,000 Black Crystal Coins. Immediately, the voices in the auction hall became much quieter, as if many people were attracted by the crazy price increase.
It seems that we have underestimated the price of this Great Butterfly Moth Spirit Core! If she had known earlier, she would have arranged for it to be the finale auction item. Although the gorgeous woman was smiling on the surface, she was secretly regretful.
"The guest in VIP room number three bids ten thousand Black Crystal Coins!”
From the voice of the messenger, it was obvious that he was trembling because of nervousness. However, this slightly trembling bid stunned everyone in the auction.
Ever since the Changlong Auction House in Dark Night City was opened, many spiritual items would appear in the grand auction every year. Sometimes, there might even be priceless and shocking cultivation techniques.
However, after so many years, there were only a handful of items that had been auctioned for more than 10,000 Black Crystal Coins. Every time it appeared, it meant a bloody battle. After the last Jade-Treading Horse cub that had been auctioned for 14,000 Black Crystal Coins was successfully auctioned off, a fierce battle broke out outside Dark Night City. Although no one knew who the final winner was, one could tell how precious the Jade-Treading Horse cub was from the devastated grassland.
And this time, another auction item that attracted the attention of everyone had appeared. It was unknown if this time, it would once again cause a stir in Dark Night City, which had been peaceful for a long time.
