Chapter 484: Chapter 209 Must Take Down! (Ask for subscription)_1

”One thousand!”

”One thousand five!”

”Three thousand!”

”Five thousand five!”

The auction for the second Foundation Establishment Pill was incredibly fierce.

In a blink, it had already surpassed the price that Luo Chen had paid last time.

There were three parties involved in the bidding.

One was a member of a family that had established their foundation from the Xuelian District.

Another was the Qi Refinement Finalization rogue cultivator who had bid against Luo Chen before.

And finally...the Li Family!

”Little Ao, although I prepared a Foundation Establishment Pill for you eight years ago, I fear one may not be enough,”

”Looking at the example of Duan Rui of the Duan Family, you must not take this lightly.”

”So, this Foundation Establishment Pill, I must win it for you!”

Li Yixian said this to Li Ao.

Then, turning her head, she bid six thousand spirit stones.

This price was clearly the same price the Great River District had previously given to the rogue cultivator.

”Six thousand one!” The Foundation Establisher from Xuelian District refused to back down.

”Six thousand two!” The rogue cultivator with Qi Refinement Finalization, his eyes red hot.

Li Yixian’s face was stern; she had not participated in the bidding for the Xuanhuo Sword, and the Li Family’s accumulated wealth over many years was profound.

Just one Foundation Establishment Pill, that’s all.

”Six thousand five!”

”Six thousand six!”

”Six thousand seven!”

”Seven thousand!”

When Li Yixian shouted this price, the Foundation Establisher from Xuelian District hesitated for a moment, then decided to back down.

The Qi Refinement Finalization rogue cultivator wanted to bid again.

However, a piercing spirit consciousness, crossing hundreds of meters, was fixed on him.

His flushed eyes instantly faded.

His complexion turned as white as paper.

His mouth agape, he finally slumped into his chair.

His companion hurriedly consoled him, ”It’s okay, you still have the third chance, don’t be disheartened.”

He managed to force a smile, but couldn’t say a word.

Inside the Great Lake Gang booth.

Min Longyu was trembling, watching as the Foundation Establishment Pill was handed over to someone else.

”Gang Leader?”

Wang Haichao shook his head, ”Li Yixian did not compete with me for the Xuanhuo Sword before. This time she is so determined; I must give her due respect.”

”But...”

”Don’t worry, there’s still the third chance.”

”Is there really another chance?”

”This time, I’ll make the first move and win it!”

Like a drowning man who grabbed a lifeline, Min Longyu nodded repeatedly.

Yes, make the first move!

Wang Haichao is a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator, and also at the third level of Foundation Establishment, he’s just a step away.

If he were to offer first, who would dare to protest?

I must win!

...

Seven thousand spirit stones for a Foundation Establishment Pill!

Huo Hu was very satisfied with this price.

This was more like it!

This was in line with the market situation during the war period, with physical resource scarcity and skyrocketing prices!

The one before was sold for just five thousand four, what a laugh!

He really did not want that Luo Chen to participate in any more auctions.

Every time, he managed to control the price so tightly that he didn’t leave any room for profit.

If this got out, people who didn’t know would think he, Huo Hu, was inept, unable to properly handle an auction.

With a faint smile, Huo Hu held the last jade bottle in his palm.

”The third Foundation Establishment Pill, the same old rules.”

”Ladies and gentlemen, please!”

Before his words fell, Wang Haichao’s voice rolled forth.

”Five thousand spirit stones!”

Another Foundation Establishment True Cultivator joined the bidding?

The hopeful rogue cultivators wore faces of helpless despair.

The Qi Refinement Finalization rogue cultivator was about to speak when a clear voice, like the song of a phoenix, sounded in his ear.

”Six thousand!”

The rogue cultivator, who had just sat upright, stretching his neck,

Shut his mouth this time, slowly shrinking back into the hard, cold chair.

This world is just too unfriendly to rogue cultivators!

Inside the Great Lake Gang booth.

Wang Haichao hesitated.

Min Longyu grew anxious.

”Gang Leader!”

Wang Haichao spoke with a troubled expression: ”The one who just bid, she’s none other than the Clan Chief of the local Yi Hua Mountain’s Yu Family, Yu Rou!”

”Gang Leader...” Min Longyu looked at him, his tone pleading.

”Alas, my dear boy,”

Wang Haichao sighed, ”Well then, I’ll bid once more on your behalf. Success or failure, we’ll leave that up to fate.”

”Seven thousand.”

His languid voice rang out.

It no longer contained the commanding air of preemptively seizing the initiative, seeming more like a dying struggle.

In the Yu Family booth.

The Clan Elder looked at the young woman in palace attire with a steadfast expression.

”Clan Chief, we can’t give up.”

”Even if we form a matrimonial alliance, it should be on relatively equal terms.”

”If we get this Foundation Establishment Pill, the chance of Chu Chu establishing her foundation will increase by a lot. You can’t place all your hopes on the prince.”

”If Chu Chu can establish her foundation, at least we can have a say in the Huo Family.”

Yu Rou patiently listened to him, then nodded.

”You’re right, I have indeed been lacking in my considerations.”

”Seven thousand one!”

Her crisp voice rang out.

While it was only a hundred spirit stones more, it was nonetheless firm and resolute, expressing that if you raise the price, I will continue to follow.

Upon hearing this, Wang Haichao decisively chose to give up.

Turning back to see the despairing Min Longyu, he couldn’t help but speak earnestly:

”It’s well known that the Yu Family wants to form a marital alliance with the Huo Family, we wouldn’t want to offend either of them, much less both at once.”

”Moreover, it’s unreasonable that all three Foundation Establishment Pills would be won by people from the Great River District.”

”Little Yu...”

Min Longyu leaned against the cold wall, his eyes lifeless.

”I need some peace.”

”Mm, reflecting in silence is good, some things can’t be forced, it’s down to fate. The path of Immortal Cultivation is like this, you mustn’t get discouraged. As long as we stand firm, we will have a lot of opportunities with small auctions every year and large ones every ten years. And moreover...”

Wang Haichao prattled on.
