Chapter 324: Ice Cloud Ring
A whole box of golden swaying plants, the final transaction price is 150,000 middle-grade spirit stones!
After the delivery of the spirit stones, Bai Jintang smiled brightly while touching the spirit-sealing box filled with golden swaying plants: Those farmers thought that a box of golden swaying plants could make the Bai family lose money?
It's ridiculous!
The reason why the transaction price of golden swaying plants could soar to 150,000 middle-grade spirit stones is because someone maliciously raised the price. It is obvious that the person who raised the price must be a spirit farmer from a farming family. According to the records of previous transactions, the total price of a box of ten golden swaying plants is only 80,000 middle-grade spirit stones, and the Bai family spent twice as much spirit stones.
However, as the eldest grandson of the Bai family and the future head of the Bai family, Bai Jintang is not only a leader among the younger generation, but also has extremely high attainments in alchemy.
If Bai Jintang uses his current alchemy skills to refine the Condensing Gold Creation Pill, the success rate will be about 30%. One golden stalk can refine three furnaces of gold-condensing fortune-making pills, and ten golden stalks can refine thirty furnaces of pills. Based on a 30% success rate, Bai Jintang can successfully refine ten gold-condensing fortune-making pills, which are sold at a price of up to 200,000 medium-grade spirit stones. In other words, these ten golden stalks can earn a difference of 50,000 medium-grade spirit stones in Bai Jintang's hands - if his father, Mr. Bai, refines them, the success rate will be higher!
The Bai family did not lose money in this transaction, but just made less money!
However, this incident also made Bai Jintang more determined to make the decision made by the family: to annex the farmer's stream and master the spirit herbs from the source, so as not to be controlled by others!
Thinking of this, Bai Jintang inadvertently glanced at Li Qingping beside him, but from beginning to end, Li Qingping had a calm face, stayed out of the matter, and was not stained with dust.
Bai Jintang was slightly stunned, and his expression was trance, as if he had returned to his childhood.
Alas!
I can never go back!
Regardless of how sincere Bai Jintang's feelings were, the auction continued as usual. After the first round of nine lots were auctioned, the second round of nine lots were launched. It is said that the entire auction had nine rounds, with a total of 9981 lots.
In the next two rounds of bidding, Xiao Mian did not bid easily, either because the items he liked were too expensive or because he did not like those items at all.
Just when Xiao Mian was a little drowsy, an item made him excited.
"Ice Cloud Ring, the reserve price is 3,000 medium-grade spirit stones!"
Xi Zongjun's introduction became more and more concise, and it seemed that even he could not stand the boring operation of quoting, bidding, and pricing in every round, and he was a little numb. However, when Xiao Mian heard the three words "Ice Cloud Ring", he was shocked and opened his eyes suddenly.
If nothing unexpected happened, the Ice Cloud Ring should be an artifact with ice attributes.
Sure enough, Xi Zongjun immediately presented the attributes of the Ice Cloud Ring.
Xi Zongjun was too lazy to waste his words, so he casually touched the Bingyun Ring, and a light like a water curtain condensed on the Bingyun Ring. Then, a line of small words appeared in the water curtain, and correspondingly, there was a three-dimensional image of the Bingyun Ring.
Although the water curtain was small, the picture was clearly visible.
The Bingyun Ring in the water curtain suddenly transformed into a ball of ice-blue mist, which suddenly turned into an ice shield and then into a burst of ice rain. The cloud perfectly interpreted the mystery of water, switching back and forth between ice, water and steam.
That's not all, the more amazing thing is still to come.
After the Bingyun Ring condensed again, the ice-blue gem on the ring surface shone, and a three-foot square storage space appeared in front of everyone.
The small Bingyun Ring is not only a top-grade magic weapon with both offensive and defensive capabilities, but also a storage magic weapon with hidden secrets - in other words, the Bingyun Ring is a magic weapon!
No wonder the reserve price of the Ice Cloud Ring was set at 3,000 medium-grade spirit stones. If it was just a top-grade magic weapon, even if it was the best, the price would be too high, not to mention that it had an ice attribute. Now it seems that it is a storage magic weapon.
But the ice attribute is a bit useless.
Xiao Mian doesn't think so. This Ice Cloud Ring is clearly a top-grade storage magic weapon tailor-made for Xiao Chuqing. No matter what, he must get it!
3,000!
5,000!
10,000!
Although it has an ice attribute, the top-grade attribute of the Ice Cloud Ring still makes everyone compete for it. After all, putting aside the ice attribute, a storage magic weapon is worth a lot of money.
However, storage magic treasures have their upper limit of value after all. When the bidding price reached 10,000 middle-grade spirit stones, the price increase gradually eased. 10,000 middle-grade spirit stones is also the market price of general storage magic treasures. Although Bingyun Ring still has excellent attack and defense properties, it is just a decoration for cultivators with non-ice attribute spiritual roots.
At this time, Xiao Mian made a move!
"15,000 middle-grade spirit stones!"
If you are determined to win, you must have the momentum to win. Therefore, Xiao Mian raised the price by half as soon as he opened his mouth, intending to scare off those hesitant bidders.
Sure enough, after Xiao Mian raised the bid by 5,000 middle-grade spirit stones, there were even fewer bidders. After all, 10,000 middle-grade spirit stones are enough to buy a storage magic treasure with excellent appearance, and the remaining 5,000 middle-grade spirit stones are enough to buy a top-level magic weapon suitable for your own attributes. Why buy an unusable Bingyun Ring?
"Sixteen thousand middle-grade spirit stones!" Apparently there were ice-attribute cultivators at the scene. After a moment of silence, someone raised the bid again. However, before Xi Zongjun could instigate, Xiao Mian said lightly, "Middle-grade spirit stones - twenty thousand!"
This time, the silence lasted longer. It was obvious that the other party either did not have the strength to charge for a higher offer, or was weighing the pros and cons - after all, 25,000 mid-grade spiritual stones is not child's play, just in case you encounter something that suits you later. But that’s tricky.
"Twenty-one thousand middle-grade spiritual stones!"
"Twenty-five thousand spirits!"
Xiao Mian's decisiveness made the ownership of Bingyun Ring no longer controversial.
Seeing a total of 25,000 middle-grade spiritual stones disappearing like flowing water in the wind, Xiao Mian's heart ached. That was nearly half of his current net worth!
But once he saw the Bingyun Ring in his hand, the heartache turned into a faint sense of relief.
Thinking about it again, Xiao Mian was secretly annoyed: Think about how at the Lingchuan auction, he exchanged a bottle of wood gold and a box of condensation grass for the white jade Feitian Pendant. The market price was as high as 40,000 to 50,000 yuan. At that time, I was still complacent, but I didn't expect to be tricked by Chi Lianxia!
It's true - there is no businessman but no treachery!
After that, Xiao Mian didn't take action again. On the one hand, he didn't find anything suitable, but on the other hand, he was short of money!
The Wuyue Chaozong Formation Plate cost 15,000 pieces of spirit, and the Bingyun Ring cost another 25,000 pieces of spirit. Now Xiao Mian only has nearly 40,000 pieces of spirit left.
In subsequent auctions, it’s not that there aren’t any good things, but that there are too many.
Baijiyi, a low-level defensive magic weapon, is inlaid with one hundred pieces of fifth-level spiritual materials with various properties. It can protect against the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and can protect against poison, electricity, ice, wind, and evil spirits. , anti-sneaky, anti-magic, it can be called a defensive treasure.
The Thunder Spear is a low-level magic weapon with thunder attributes. It can only transform between the gun body and the thunder gun. With the substance and intangibility of thunder and lightning, ordinary defense methods are regarded as nothing; with the wind of thunder and lightning, the attack and kill are like lightning. It can be called a big killer.
The transaction price of Baiyi Yi is as high as 150,000 yuan of mid-grade spiritual stones, and the transaction price of Thunder Ji Gun is 130,000 yuan of mid-grade spiritual stones. The transaction prices of several other low-level magic weapons are also around 100,000 yuan of medium-grade spiritual stones. Xiao Mian was dumbfounded and swallowed hard.
You must know that the most exquisite top-level magic weapon only costs about 10,000 yuan. People say that Dharma treasures and magical instruments are not the same. They only differ by one level, and the difference is ten times!
Xiao Mian's horizons were opened this time. How often had he seen magic weapons being auctioned in Lingchuanfang City?
After finally waiting for the last round of auction items to be unveiled, Xiao Mian thought that his Tianmen Auction was over, and he didn't want to let him fall in love with another item.
"Amulet! There are three pieces in a box, namely the Diamond Sword and Shield, the Divine Shadow Wuji and the Sky-Splitting Sword. The three pieces are auctioned together with a minimum price of one thousand yuan of medium-grade spiritual stones!"
The word "talisman" made Xiao Mian cheer up again.
After learning to draw talisman from Leng Ningyu, Xiao Mian is now considered a talisman-drawing apprentice, and he naturally knows about talisman tools. The so-called talisman can be regarded as a combination of a talisman and a magic weapon. It can be reused many times, but it has a very useless shortcoming: because of the spiritual materials used to make the talisman, the use of the talisman must be driven by true energy!
For ordinary monks, if they are Jindan monks, they will naturally look down on heretics such as talismans; if they are foundation-building monks, they cannot use talismans; but for Xiao Mian, especially today's Xiao Mian, talismans The device was exactly what he needed.
Without hesitation, Xiao Mian took pictures of all three talismans in one breath. Although he spent 10,000 medium-grade spiritual stones, he was satisfied and returned home with a full load.
But soon, Xiao Mian knew that his trip to Tianmen Auction was not over yet, or in other words, it had just begun!
When Xi Zongjun unveiled the red cloth of the final lot, the piece of red animal skin revealed was not the thousand-year-old animal skin that Xiao Mian Tuoding Kaishan had consigned!
