Scientifically Cultivating In An Unscientific World - Chapter 29

Chapter 29 The Auction Began!

Inside the star-picking pavilion.

On the auction stage.

“The first item is a black-rank mid-grade defensive spiritual tool, water-rock armor.”

“This armor can completely block attacks below the Foundation Establishment Stage and weaken the power of middle stage Foundation Establishment spirit skills. The starting bid is 5,000 spirit stones.”

“Each time, it can not be lower than 200 spirit stones!”

Situ Muxue, who had a soft voice, stood on the auction stage and said.

As she was a member of the Situ clan which was only a branch clan, she wouldn’t have come here to be a star picker. However, she still belonged here.

The people below the stage only took a few more glances at her figure. Then, the auction officially began. “5,300 spirit stones!”

A disciple of the Green Mountain City family who was close to the auction stage opened his mouth.

“5,500 spirit stones!”

“5,800 spirit stones!”

“6,000 spirit stones!”

Voices rose and fell in the auction hall one after another.

On the fourth floor of the pavilion.

“7,000 spirit stones.”

Seeing the voices gradually decreasing, Lu Ming immediately opened his mouth.

As soon as he finished speaking, Sikong Xuan looked at the maid who was waiting at the side. The latter then spoke with a bit of spiritual energy, “7,000 spirit stones!”

The voice came from the fourth floor.

The people in the hall were stunned at first, and they couldn’t help but turn their heads to look at the fourth floor.

Most of the people who came to the star-picking pavilion knew the rules, and they understood that those who could sit on the fourth floor must have an extremely noble status.

They were a little surprised with Lu Ming and then gave up on bidding at the same time. “Good, congratulations to the distinguished guest on the fourth floor for buying the water-rock armor with 7,000 spirit stones!”

Situ Muxue’s soft voice rang out, and they continued to bid for the second item.

However, Lu Ming did not take a fancy to the next few items, so he did not pay any attention to them.

At the same time, Jing Yuan, who was sitting at the back of the auction table, curiously sized up Lu Ming on the fourth floor.

The other party was very young, about the same age as him, but he was being served by the star-picking pavilion. He must have a noble status.

However, Jing Yuan didn’t recognize the man at all, as he was too unfamiliar with the latter’s appearance. As a prince, especially a prince who might become the crown prince, Jing Yuan had no idea what the man looked like.

Besides cultivating, Jing Yuan also remembered the portraits of the elders and their sons and daughters of the cultivation sects. However, he had no impression of the man’s face at all.

The man might have used the same method as Jing Yuan.

But logically speaking, why would someone of such a high status come to the star-picking pavilion in Green Mountain City?

Jing Yuan’s thoughts started to flow.

Besides the news that the star-picking pavilion had the talismans of the Nascent Soul Stage, they hadn’t heard of anyone else who was worthy of such a high status coming here.

Moreover, the talismans of the Nascent Soul Stage were just rumors.

Jing Yuan became more and more curious about Lu Ming’s identity.

In the blink of an eye, most of the items in the star-picking pavilion’s auction catalogue had already been auctioned off. During this period, there weren’t any items that couldn’t be auctioned off.

After all, before Lu Ming arrived, Sikong Xuan had also treated this as his last auction. Those that could enter the auction catalogue were all extremely precious spiritual tools and heavenly treasures.

Meanwhile, the fifty spirit skill talismans that Lu Ming had taken a fancy to were at the late stage of the Core Formation Stage, and the twenty spirit skill talismans that were at the completion stage of the Core Formation Stage as well as the ten defensive talismans were all sold to him for 40,000 spirit stones and 50,000 spirit stones respectively.

Among them, the Crown Prince of the Green Mountain City family also had his eyes on the thirty talismans of the completed Core Formation Stage. Under such circumstances, he only bid them for 47,000 spirit stones and gave up.

After all, the person standing on Lu Ming’s side was Sikong Xuan. Sikong Xuan had told Lu Ming that he could add whatever he wanted.

At the same time, a few defensive black-rank spiritual tools were all bought by Lu Ming. Every time, the price of the spirit stones made everyone stop in their tracks.

Rich.

Too rich.

Such a rich person was making such a bold move.

Looking at the confused crowd made the people on the first floor auction hall even more curious about his identity.

Jing Yuan, who had disguised himself as a middle-aged guard midway, successfully bought the Foundation Establishment pill that had a 77% completion rate tonight.

There were very few bidders.

Jing Yuan and Fu Cheng were also puzzled. Logically speaking, this pill should be extremely popular. Why did the star-picking pavilion customers look down on it?

One had to know that the completion rate of the Foundation Establishment pill was almost the same as the star-picking pavilion in the capital of Great Xia.

However, they did not leave just because they got the pill.

That was because it was too obvious.

Moreover, they were indeed curious about the finale item. After all, Nascent Soul Stage talismans were extremely rare. On the auction stage, Situ Muxue changed her soft voice and became slightly more formal. She swayed her surging body and walked to the front of the auction stage. “Alright, next is the finale item of our star-picking pavilion!” “I know that many people here are here for this final finale item.”

She turned around and walked to the front of the three pavilion attendants, picking up the porcelain bottle on the first tray in their hands.

“I believe that all of you are cultivators, so you are naturally very familiar with medicinal pills. Today, the finale item of our star-picking pavilion is precisely three types of medicinal

pills!”

“You should know that the star-picking pavilion rarely uses medicinal pills as the finale item, but I want to tell you that today, our star-picking pavilion not only uses medicinal pills as the finale item, but we are using Rank 1 medicinal pills!” She finished her words. At first, there wasn’t much noise in the hall, because most of the people who came were attracted by the news of the ultimate medicinal pills with a 100% completion rate.

The reason why they didn’t say anything now was that they wanted to see with their own eyes if this was true.

Those words of doubt and discussion were used up when they told everyone around them about the news.

After all, this matter was truly too unbelievable.

However, when these words fell into the ears of Jing Yuan and Fu Cheng, who had already arrived at the star-picking pavilion long ago, as well as those who did not know about the news due to the soundproof barrier in their private rooms, their expressions changed.

After all, the biggest reason why they had come to the star-picking pavilion earlier was because of the Nascent Soul Stage talisman.

But now that they were told that the finale item wasn’t the Nascent Soul Stage talisman, their expressions turned ugly.

Although they knew that this was a rumor, most of the rumors in the star-picking pavilion were true.

After all, this was also a gimmick.

But what they didn’t expect was that the finale item this time was actually a medicinal pill, and it was the lowest Rank 1 medicinal pill!

This difference was too great.

There were even faint signs of anger on the faces of these people.

One of them was Jing Yuan. Although he didn’t care whether or not he had a Nascent Soul Stage talisman, this was the reason he came here.

In the end, the reason for him coming here was to get a Rank 1 medicinal pill? This was too far-fetched already.

Wasn’t this confirming the fact that he came here to the star-picking pavilion was to buy medicinal pills?

Jing Yuan frowned.

However, just as these uninformed people’s negative emotions continued to swell to the extreme, wanting to give a cold reprimand, the next moment, Situ Muxue’s voice sounded. “… But, the completion rate of these Rank 1 medicinal pills is 100%!”

“100% completion rate!”

As the sound of her voice faded, the negative emotions that those cultivators who wanted to give a cold reprimand instantly turned into astonishment and disbelief!

100% completion? How is this possible?!
