Chapter 376 Arrival at Sihai City
After Wang Hao's figure disappeared at the door, the next room creaked open, and a cold woman in a black dress walked out. She looked at Song Yinniang and said, "Sister, this man is only in the early stage of foundation building, and there is only one Jindan cultivator in the family, who is far away in Leizhou Peninsula. Why not use charm to control him? If this man can stay in my Qinglefang, will the sisters still lack magic tools and elixirs?"
It is no secret that Wang Hao works as an elixir pharmacist in Cui's Taihe Building. They have already found out. They did not use charm at all, but just used spiritual wine to get Cui Yuan drunk. With the temptation of the two beautiful female cultivators, Cui Yuan told Wang Hao's details like a bamboo tube pouring beans.
"Sister Wan, you think too simply. This person has grown up quite well. He has the hope of forming a pill in the future. I don't know how he ended up here. We are just a small force. All we can do is make friends with him. If we leave him here, how long do you think the charm can control him? Although the charm is effective, it is not infallible. It can be used for a while, but long-term control will inevitably lead to mistakes. Once he wakes up, can Qinglefang afford the price?
And when doing business, you have to take a long-term view. Harmony is the right way to make money."
Wang Hao left Qinglefang and went straight to Taihe Tower. After seeing Cui Yuan, he felt that he was not in a good state. He looked at Wang Hao with a dodge.
However, the transaction went smoothly. Cui Yuan did not bargain at all. Wang Hao easily got 100,000 spirit stones.
Previously, he sold magic tools and spirit water for nearly 150,000 spirit stones. In addition to the 150,000 from Song Yinniang and the 100,000 from Taihe Tower, the total was 400,000 spirit stones.
Wang Hao had 300,000 spirit stones in his hand before, so now he has more than 700,000 spirit stones in his hand, which is enough to pay for the teleportation array. He can also get a few third-level spirit materials at the Jindan auction!
One day later, Huoyun Zhenren came as promised, released a green flying boat, and carried Wang Hao all the way to the north.
A million miles of journey is only a few days for a Jindan late-stage cultivator who is rushing on the road.
Looking at Sihai City, which is several times larger than Wanxiang City, Wang Hao felt like a countryman for the first time, "Sihai City is so magnificent, senior, do you know how many Jindan cultivators there are in the city?"
"At least 500, there are three Yuanying cultivators alone, let's go and find a place to stay first!" Huoyun Zhenren was not here for the first time, and he took Wang Hao to an inn called Suiyueju with ease. The price was not low, and it cost 300 spirit stones per night.
However, the spiritual energy is indeed rich. There is a fourth-grade superior spiritual vein and several third-grade spiritual veins under Sihai City, which support the cultivation of millions of cultivators, and the spiritual energy in this inn is close to the fourth grade.
The auction will not start until half a month later. Wang Hao has been living in seclusion, using the rich spiritual energy here to cultivate. He can use 300 spiritual stones a night, which cannot be wasted.
On the day of the auction, Huoyun Zhenren led Wang Hao to a huge and magnificent building.
Standing at the door are all Jindan cultivators!
As soon as they appeared here, the man greeted Huoyun Zhenren: "Isn't this Huoyun Daoyou, what magic weapon have you refined this time?"
"Haha, it's just a golden thunder attribute sword, not worth mentioning, how is Daoyou Xue recently?"
Huoyun Zhenren chatted with the man, and Wang Hao thought that Huoyun Zhenren was not bragging. He really has some reputation in Sihai City. He knows any Jindan cultivator he meets, and it seems that the man is very respectful to him.
After the two talked for a while, the Jindan cultivator called a foundation-building cultivator and took them to the private room that had been reserved.
Spiritual materials and cakes had been prepared in the private room, and there was a pot of wine on the table. True Man Huoyun was not polite and drank directly from the pot.
Wang Hao tasted a piece of spiritual cake, which tasted good and had abundant spiritual energy. It was made with at least second-level ingredients. There were many private rooms here. If every private room was like this, it would be a considerable expense.
The two sat for about half an hour before the auction officially began!
With the sound of a bell, the wall on one side of the private room suddenly fluctuated, and a mirror appeared, from which the situation in the hall could be clearly seen!
There were also poor Jindan cultivators, and their status was different. Not everyone could sit in the private room. In the hall, there were nearly a hundred Jindan cultivators.
Jindan-level auctions were rare. Not only Jindan cultivators from Sihai City, but also from various places would come after receiving the news, such as True Man Huoyun!
According to Master Huoyun, there might even be a Nascent Soul cultivator in the top-level private room in the middle of the three rooms.
The person who presided over the auction was a Jindan elder of the Four Seas Merchant Alliance. His surname was Qiu, and he had the cultivation of the late Jindan period. He was dressed in a dark robe and looked very majestic.
Elder Qiu did not exchange many pleasantries. At the beginning, he took out a blue-purple essence stone, "A piece of thunder attribute essence stone, with a hard texture, is an excellent material for refining magic weapons such as spirit swords and spirit knives. The starting price is 10,000 spirit stones, and each bid is not less than 1,000!"
From the beginning, it was an extremely precious thunder attribute spiritual material. The Four Seas Merchant Alliance was indeed not to be underestimated. However, Wang Hao had the Purple Sky Hollow Bamboo in his hand, which was better than this essence stone. He could leisurely watch the Jindan cultivators struggling below.
Soon, the price of this essence stone soared to a high price of 40,000 spirit stones.
Seeing Wang Hao staring at the audience, Master Huoyun asked casually, "Why, you want this essence stone too?"
Wang Hao restrained his expression and said with a smile, "This is just my first time seeing it, I'm just a little curious!"
Wang Hao had participated in several auctions before, so he knew this routine. The first item was used to warm up the audience, so it was naturally more precious. The quality of the items after that was indeed lower, but even so, they were treasures that could be used in the Jindan period, which made Wang Hao gain a lot of knowledge.
Wang Hao did not make a move. First, he had better spiritual materials in his hands. Second, his spiritual stones were limited, so he had to buy the key spiritual materials for refining the five elements magic weapons, instead of buying whatever he liked!
However, as the precious items came on stage, Wang Hao could not bear it. This was the highest-level auction he had participated in. There were not only various spiritual materials above the third level, but also demon pills, demon beast eggs or eggs, and spiritual medicines that were thousands of years old, which really opened Wang Hao's eyes!
He kept his spirits tense, and before he knew it, the auction came to the second half.
At this time, the items were becoming more and more precious, and those poor Jindan in the hall basically dared not make a move. Now was the time for the various forces in these boxes to compete.
Elder Qiu took out a brocade box, which contained colorful sand-like spiritual materials.
"Five-color sand is produced in the extreme western desert of Qianyuan Continent. It can only be found in the sand below a thousand feet. It is extremely precious. Five-color sand can contain a large amount of earth-attribute spiritual energy and is an excellent spiritual material for refining earth-attribute magic weapons! The base price is 20,000 spiritual stones, and each increase in price is no less than 1,000!"
"40,000 spiritual stones," Wang Hao shouted the price as soon as he finished the introduction. He had a great demand for earth-attribute spiritual materials. Not only did he need it to refine the five-element magic weapons, but he also needed it to refine the Earth Seal. Moreover, this five-color sand was a third-level high-quality spiritual material, which was extremely rare. He didn't know when he would see it again. Even if it was a little more expensive, it was not a loss.
He raised the price by 20,000 at a time, pretending to be determined to win, and tried to scare off other bidders as much as possible!
However, Wang Hao could scare the poor Jindan in the hall, but he couldn't scare the competitors in the box.
"Forty-two thousand spirit stones!"
The spirit materials in Qianyuan Continent are extremely rare, and many cultivators in the private rooms raised the price, and soon the price exceeded 90,000!
However, Wang Hao was determined to win, and after he raised the price to 100,000, no one competed with him anymore.
