In the venue, countless pairs of eyes burned with desire as they gazed at the Foundation Establishment Spirit Object. Even the Energy Refining Cultivators who couldn’t afford it were filled with longing as they looked at the object. After all, this was a spirit object related to Foundation Establishment. "Foundation Establishment Spirit Objects, I wonder what price it will fetch," Lu Changsheng mused calmly to himself. The market price for a Foundation Establishment Spirit Object was between two to three thousand Spirit Stones. But the final transaction price typically exceeded this amount. After all, such objects were considered cure-alls and highly sought after. Whether one was an Energy Refining Cultivator or a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, a Loose Cultivator, or from a Family power, there was demand. However, he wasn’t interested. He still had four Foundation Establishment Spirit Objects on him, after all. "Two thousand Spirit Stones!" Those who could afford to bid for this item were no fools. Knowing what it meant to raise the bid by just a hundred or two hundred Spirit Stones, they directly bid two thousand, which also demonstrated their resolve. "Two thousand one hundred!" "Two thousand five hundred!" "Two thousand eight hundred!" Before long, the Foundation Establishment Spirit Object sold for the high price of three thousand nine hundred Spirit Stones. Although the price was inflated, Foundation Establishment Spirit Objects were, after all, hard to come by. Especially for those who cultivated Fire Attribute Techniques, spending more Spirit Stones didn’t matter. "Second Rank Spirit Pill—Three Suns Elixir!" "This Elixir Medicine does not need much introduction from me. Named after the concept of ’Three Yang heralding prosperity,’ consuming it ensures that all hidden illnesses and underlying issues vanish as if bathed in sunlight. It is therefore somewhat miraculous in assisting the progression from Energy Refining to Foundation Establishment..." Yu Ningjun lifted the red silk cloth and introduced the object, holding a glazed jade bottle. "Three Suns Elixir." Lu Changsheng noticed his wife, Lu Miaoge, looking at him with eyes full of tenderness. He chuckled softly without saying a word. In the end, the Three Suns Elixir was sold at the price of three thousand eight hundred Spirit Stones. The same price that Lu Changsheng had paid when he purchased it at the Elixir Cauldron Pavilion. But this was to be expected. Buying Elixir Medicines from a place like the Elixir Cauldron Pavilion was intrinsically more expensive. And at an auction, unless faced with competition, the prices generally would not go much higher than the market value. One after another, the star auction items appeared. These items were mostly bid on by the powers of Foundation Establishment Families or Great Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Ordinary Energy Refining Loose Cultivators simply didn’t have the financial capacity to participate. "Middle Grade Spiritual Artifact—True Yang Five Elements Sword." "This is a meticulous work by Master Ou Zhi, forged from True Yang Phoenix Tree wood and Five Elements Primordial Gold, with the aid of three Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators, taking seven days and nights for refinement... harnessing the power of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth... with a starting price of three thousand Spirit Stones!" At that moment, Yu Ningjun unveiled the item by lifting the red silk cloth to reveal a cinnabar-red sword with spiritual light flowing, and introduced it out loud. "The True Yang Five Elements Sword?! Combining the power of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth?" Lu Changsheng, who was appearing leisurely, narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard the description. Although he had cultivated the Seven Luminaries Heart Lamp as his Life-bound Spiritual Artifact, he still lacked a suitable spirit sword. But fabricating a well-suited spirit sword incorporating all five elements and both yin and yang was no easy task. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎 He would have to seek out a Second Rank Artifact Refining Master for that. Currently, he didn’t know any masters of that caliber, so he had put the matter aside for the time being. "Although this True Yang Five Elements Sword doesn’t incorporate both yin and yang, it’s quite suitable for me," Lu Changsheng thought to himself, preparing to acquire the sword. It was true that a Middle Grade Spiritual Artifact was usually mastered by Cultivators in the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment. But with the Profound Origin Bead at his side, he was by no means weaker than those in the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment. In fact, his mana was even more profound than many of them. However, in such a setting, it was inconvenient for him to bid, so he could only trouble Xiao Xiyue. Given that his Divine Sense was a weak point and could be detected by others, Lu Changsheng opted not to transmit to Xiao Xiyue via Divine Sense. Instead, he discreetly took out a Transmission Talisman belonging to Xiao Xiyue. "Hmm?" Xiao Xiyue, who wasn’t far away, looked perplexed upon receiving a message from Lu Changsheng. But, after seeing Lu Changsheng’s glance and looking toward the auction stage, she quickly grasped his intention. "Five thousand Spirit Stones!" Xiao Xiyue immediately called out her bid. If it were before, she would have worried about not having enough Spirit Stones. But with twenty Second Rank Talismans from a previous auction, she had no concerns about having enough Spirit Stones. "Five thousand five hundred!" "Five thousand eight hundred!" "Six thousand!" "Six thousand five hundred!" "Seven thousand!" When the bid reached seven thousand, Xiao Xiyue glanced at Lu Changsheng. The price of a Middle Grade Spiritual Artifact was typically around five to six thousand Spirit Stones. Although the True Yang Five Elements Sword, being an exceptional piece, would be a good deal more expensive, seven thousand Spirit Stones seemed about right. "Continue," Lu Changsheng gave a slight nod, signaling Xiao Xiyue to keep bidding. The sword was perfectly suitable for him, and he was not inclined to skimp on these Spirit Stones. There were a few Foundation Establishment Cultivators bidding, but after crossing seven thousand Spirit Stones, only an imposing middle-aged man remained in competition with Xiao Xiyue. However, when Xiao Xiyue made a bid of seven thousand nine hundred Spirit Stones, the Great Foundation Establishment Cultivator could only grimace and snort coldly as he gave up. When he snorted, he turned to look at Xiao Xiyue. It was as if he wanted to see who had dared not to give him face. Lu Changsheng watched this scene intently, making a note of what the Foundation Establishment Cultivator looked like. He wouldn’t mind stepping out of the Marketplace with Xiao Xiyue to resolve any grievances with the man. After the Middle Grade Spiritual Sword, an item of Spiritual Armor and a rare Spirit Pill were auctioned, and the auction came to an end. However, after the auction, the Patriarch of the Yu Family and Lu Yuanzhong took to the stage to announce that the venue was available for free trading among attendees. They even offered to provide private boxes or secret chambers to facilitate transactions. Lu Changsheng had no interest in this, nor was it convenient for him to participate. Moreover, the auction had lasted almost a day, and his four wives seemed somewhat tired.
