Chapter 2096 - 2097: Auction (Part 1)After more than ten minutes, Yang Fei drove his Hummer to the center of Yannan City, wandering around.
Yannan City center is full of tall buildings that rise majestically, bustling with activity.
However, behind a street in the city center, there are many antique buildings with Ming and Qing dynasty styles.
This old street was specifically preserved by the relevant department during the planning of the economic development zone to protect historical heritage.
In Yannan City, almost no one is unaware of or unfamiliar with this old street.
Here, you can buy many strange antiques. Regardless of their authenticity, the feeling of time's legacy makes many people love this place.
Many of the old buildings here have mainly become tea houses, theaters, or porcelain shops.
In such an atmosphere, drinking a cup of tea from a lidded bowl feels as though you have merged into the long-passed years.
Qingyun Tea House is located on this street.
At this moment, a unique auction is being held at Qingyun Tea House.
Qingyun Tea House is a building with flying eaves and hooked corners, spanning three floors.
Usually, this place is where literati and refined guests drink tea and have a conversation, or where some men with pretentious elegance bring girls to have tea.
However, on the third day of each month, this place does not receive outside guests, as it regularly holds an auction.
This auction does not sell antiques or artifacts; it specifically sells items useful for cultivation.
This is also a new phenomenon that has emerged across various places in the past ten years.
Although the descent of various Great Immortal Sects onto Earth is unknown to the general public, countless cultivators have still emerged worldwide.
At the auction, some disciples of cultivation sects, who might not be upstanding, steal their sect's mental method to auction off down the mountain.
There are also Martial Arts Masters who comprehend cultivation laws and put them up for auction, or cultivators who auction off large amounts of magic artifacts and spirit stones.
No matter what, cultivation disciples need to eat.
Cultivation itself is an activity extremely consuming of financial resources, so places like Qingyun Society see a business opportunity.
At this moment, Xue Mingtai and Fan Yi are at Qingyun Society, waiting for the auction to start.
The person hosting this auction is an elderly man with gray hair.
The old man does not have any fluctuation of Spiritual Origin Qi, he is merely an ordinary person.
However, in a place like this, those who dare to host an auction cannot be underestimated.
Such a person either has extremely strong backing or possesses great strength, and the old man clearly belongs to the former.
No matter the situation, a person like this should not be provoked by ordinary people.
The item in the first round of the auction hosted by the old man is an elixir.
The elixir is placed on the counter, its earthy yellow color seems plain and unremarkable.
The projector projected the image of the elixir onto the opposite screen, and immediately those who recognized it exclaimed.
"Oh my god, is that the Minor Revival Pill?"
"I've heard that the Minor Revival Pill can transform a Martial Arts Master's Essence Qi into Spiritual Origin Qi, and after consumption, there is a ten percent chance of breaking through to Spirit Martial Level One."
"You're right, such elixirs are extremely rare. Last time, it appeared at an auction in Paris and was bought for 3 million euros."
...
The Qingyun Society's hall has become a temporary auction hall, and quite a few people are already seated.
Everyone looked at the yellow elixir on the projector, discussing heatedly.
The old man in charge of the auction listened to the discussions and laughed, showing some pride on his face.
"Everyone guessed correctly, today's first auction item is the Minor Revival Pill."
"I presume everyone knows its effect, after consumption, there's a ten percent chance of turning an ordinary martial artist into a cultivator."
At this point, the old man raised his voice.
"This is an elixir many have dreamed of; the starting price is 5 million Huaxia currency, with no upper limit."
As soon as the old man finished speaking, many people in the hall started bidding.
In an instant, this Minor Revival Pill was raised to 15 million, with seven or eight Martial Arts Masters continuously increasing their bids.
It's no surprise to see everyone going crazy, since the distinction between cultivators and Martial Arts Masters is worlds apart.
Every Martial Arts Master desires the Minor Revival Pill to refine their True Yuan Energy into Spiritual Origin Qi and truly become a cultivator.
Xue Mingtai and Fan Yi sit at the front of the hall, looking at the elixir, and Fan Yi is very tempted.
Fan Yi has already reached the True Martial Realm and is just shy of becoming a cultivator.
However, this step is extremely difficult for Fan Yi.
If Fan Yi obtains this Minor Revival Pill, there's a chance he might overcome the barrier and transition from an ordinary martial artist to a cultivator.
Although the chance is only ten percent, it's still worth trying.
Xue Mingtai looked at Fan Yi's expression and smiled slightly.
He raised his hand with his number plate and said indifferently, "30 million."
This price instantly silenced a few martial artists.
Sometimes, a penny can defeat a hero; without money, nothing can be accomplished.
The old man glanced at Xue Mingtai and smiled knowingly.
"So Young Master Ming Tai is here, what an impressive gesture."
Xue Mingtai humbly cupped his hand towards the old man to express his thanks.
Even though Yinxue Tower was in decline, and Xue Mingtai was single-handedly supporting it, appearing somewhat embarrassed.
No matter when or where, this graceful and elegant Young Master Ming Tai always felt inherently friendly to others.
At this moment, someone in the crowd shouted jeeringly.
"It's Xue Mingtai of Yinxue Tower, tsk tsk, what a grand gesture, but I wonder how long Yinxue Tower's assets can last under this spending?"
Xue Mingtai maintained his composure and smiled slightly.
"If I can indulge for just one day, I am willing; no need for brother to worry."
Fan Yi snorted heavily, as Yinxue Tower has been squeezed by Xuantian Sect for years and is becoming increasingly feeble.
Xue Mingtai's 30 million is a heavy debt on Yinxue Tower.
Without Yalan International's secret support, Yinxue Tower would have already stopped functioning.
That's why this guy dared to mock Yinxue Tower.
If it were ten years ago, he wouldn't dare to be so rude with tenfold guts.
Not long after, a waiter in black uniform placed the Minor Revival Pill in a small safe and handed it to Xue Mingtai.
Xue Mingtai, without even blinking, turned and handed it to Fan Yi, his smile like a spring breeze.
"Fan Yi, you should take it. I hope you can soon break through to Spirit Martial Level One."
Fan Yi hesitated for a moment, then realized.
It turns out Xue Mingtai had invited him to the Qingyun Society auction with this intention.
His heart was filled with gratitude, and he hurried to decline.
"Young Master Ming Tai, this is too valuable."
Xue Mingtai put away his smile, and solemnly said.
"Brother Fei entrusted Yinxue Tower to me; you are my brothers. I am regretful for not caring for everyone well, but I have tried my best."
At this point, he placed the safe, the size of a thermos cup, into Fan Yi's hand.
"I have observed your efforts, as long as you can break through to Spirit Martial Level One, this 30 million is worth it."
Fan Yi reluctantly accepted the Minor Revival Pill, tightly clenching his fists, determination shining in his eyes.
The auction then continued to sell a few more items.
A badly damaged spirit talisman, a series of Strengthening Qi Pills, and a strand of calming Jade Bead Necklace.
The prices for these items varied, reaching 10 million or several million respectively.
