Chapter 287 Buy One Get One Free, Dayi Treasure Mirror (Monthly Ticket Plus Update)
Yu Jizi made the final decision: "Congratulations, fellow Taoist, for taking the photo of this Xuanshui Stone. A steward will deliver the lot to the box later."
In the end, this Xuanshui Stone was bought by Li Qing at a high price of 4,800 low-grade spiritual stones.
Starting from this Xuanshui Stone, Li Qing seemed to be aroused to be interested in bidding, and he took photos of several second-level spiritual objects one after another.
Not long after, a steward presented several lots together.
Li Qing checked that everything was correct, paid the spirit stone, took out the Xuanshui Stone alone, and placed it next to Li Yu.
"What are you..." Li Yu hesitated.
Li Qing waved his hand nonchalantly: "I'll leave it to you first. If you can't take a picture of the conch while watching the tide, use this one instead..."
Li Yu was very moved: "How is this possible? I owe you more and more."
Li Qing sneered and said: "Stop being so stupid. I bought this thing purely out of a fight of will, not for you."
Li Yu chuckled softly and looked at the other spiritual objects he took photos of: "The clan has similar substitutes for these, what are you going to do with them?"
Li Qing looked at the scene thoughtfully: "He was disgraced by me, but he was able to resist raising the price for me. He obviously has something that he is bound to get."
Li Yu was surprised: "You still want to stop him?"
"Look what you said! Fair bidding, why is it blocked?" Li Qing happily ate a spiritual fruit.
In this way, another half a while passed.
The tide-watching conch that Li Yu was interested in was finally put on a high platform.
Jade Jizi opened the gilt treasure box and revealed a conch the size of a fist: "Everyone, this is a water attribute foundation-building spiritual object, a tide-watching conch!"
This conch is completely blue, with a texture like jade, glowing with exquisite crystal light, and moving rhythmically as if it is breathing.
Yu Jizi introduced the efficacy of tide-watching conch, and then announced the starting price: "Four thousand five hundred low-grade spiritual stones! Each increase in price must not be less than one hundred spiritual stones."
As soon as the price was announced, no one in the hall made a sound.
On the contrary, in the private room on the second floor, the man who had bid for the Xuanshui Stone before was the first to make the first move: "I will offer 4,600 spirit stones."
"Four thousand seven!"
"Four thousand and nine!"
"Five thousand spirit stones!"
Soon, people were bidding in the private rooms on the second and third floors.
Even the foundation-building monks from other golden elixir sects who were on the fourth floor couldn't help but join in the fun and bid.
Li Qing originally thought that the Leng family was trying to collect spiritual stones and snap photos of conches for watching the tide, so he asked Li Yu to be calm.
Seeing that the other party showed no sign of getting involved, he handed over the bidding artifact: "Go ahead and control the speed yourself! Nine thousand two hundred spiritual stones..."
It's not that he can't spend more spiritual stones, it's just that there is a limit to everything, too much is not enough.
Li Yu nodded eagerly and tentatively entered a number: "Five thousand six hundred!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished losing, the Leng family over there picked up one: "Five thousand eight hundred!"
Without thinking, Li Yu raised the price to 6,000 pieces.
But this price is still far from the actual value of the tide-watching conch. Without any grudge between the two families, the others raised the price.
Li Qing watched coldly and found that Yu Jizi's charming skills were being released bit by bit, and unknowingly it reached the third or even fourth level.
Only on the fifth floor was the box reserved for Master Jiedan, and he did not dare to make any mistakes.
Li Qing frowned slightly, and the Taihao Palace in the Lingtai emitted the light of green gold, purifying all distracting thoughts and not causing any dust.
Li Yu was already infected and lost directly in the bidding for the magic weapon: "Eight thousand!"
This is an amount close to the actual value of tide-watching conches.
At this point, all bidders should start to weigh the pros and cons, and the bidding will become rational.
But the Leng family couldn't wait to shout: "Eight thousand six hundred!" and directly raised the price by a large amount.
Li Yu had already gotten carried away and entered the bidding magic weapon: "Nine thousand..." He was about to confirm, but was stopped by Li Qing.
"Quietly guard the mourning platform!" Li Qing pointed out and landed on his Yintang, and the light of Taihao Palace extended out.
Li Yu shuddered and was covered in cold sweat: "What's going on?"
Li Qing did not say anything directly, but pointed at the bidding artifact: "Take it easy. The more eager you are, the more people will find out the details. I'm afraid it will be difficult to win this conch..."
Li Yu nodded and saw someone raising the price to one hundred hundred.
He thought for a moment, then added two hundred directly after the nine thousand: "Nine thousand two hundred!"
This is the amount of spiritual stones he can use.
The Leng family immediately followed up: "Nine thousand three hundred pieces!"
Li Yu clenched his fists and glanced at the Xuanshui Stone beside him, feeling a little undecided.
Logically speaking, Xuanshui Stone guarantees the bottom line, and the tide-watching conch is priced at a substantial premium, so there is really no need to give up.
But the magic power of the sea flowing in his dantian seemed to be alive, constantly urging him to take pictures of the conches watching the tide.
He turned to look at Li Qing.
Li Qing, on the other hand, closed his eyes and did not give any suggestions.
Li Yu hesitated for a while, then saw that the jade machine was about to lock in the price. He finally gritted his teeth and raised the price significantly: "Ten thousand pieces!"
He diverted part of his savings over the years. This was what he originally planned to use to build a magic circle to transform the cave and create an aura environment for foundation building.
"Boom——" Suddenly, the whole place was in an uproar. Such a price is almost the same as being taken advantage of.
Li Qing opened his eyes and looked at him calmly: "You also invested your own savings? Building a foundation is not easy. There are still many places where spiritual stones are needed."
Li Yu was a little worried, but still insisted: "My spiritual sense tells me that I can't miss it."
Li Qing stopped talking. After all, the spiritual sense of a cultivator is really a wonderful thing.
After Li Qing started to cross the two realms, his spiritual sense had the ability to sense good and bad luck on a whim, which helped him avoid huge risks many times.
So, why is it impossible for Li Yu's spiritual sense to guide him to obtain the most suitable spiritual object for foundation building?
Li Yu's outrageous price increase forced the Leng family to give up and not bid rashly again, for fear of smashing this thing in their hands.
So Yu Jizi cut the Gordian knot: "Congratulations, honorable guest, you have won this tide-watching conch. The steward will send it over later."
As the first item to reach 10,000 spiritual stones at today's auction, the tide-watching conch was delivered with a gift.
"This is..." Li Yu pinched a spiritual shell attached to the shell.
This spiritual shell is light gold in color. When it is opened and closed, you can see that there is a rice-sized pearl embedded in its scallop, which is emitting a faint warmth.
The manager who delivered the goods explained earnestly: "Dear guest, this is the seedling of Yangquan Haichaobei. It was caught together with Guanchao Conch by us. It is also a second-level spiritual shell."
Li Yu was a little excited: "Of course I recognize Yangquan Haichaobei. This kind of spiritual shell is also rare. Why did Rongbaozhai give it to others as a gift?"
The secret method of raising spiritual shells that he studied recorded a total of twelve kinds of spiritual shells, including two second-level spiritual shells, namely Guishui Youquan Snail and Yangquan Haichaobei.
Li Yu has one of the former, and is cultivating it together with Chaoyin and Xiaolian.
The latter is something he has been seeking for many years. How can he not be excited when he sees it today?
"Your Excellency is really well-informed!" The steward echoed and praised, "But this small shell seems to have a deeper connection with the tide-watching conch."
"If it leaves the tide-watching conch for an hour, it will become restless and self-mutilating."
"Our Rongbaozhai's shopkeeper felt sorry for it and decided to give it as a gift to the distinguished guest who bought the conch."
Li Qing on the side nodded slightly and complimented: "Your shopkeeper is really a wonderful person. No wonder the business of Rongbaozhai Tanyuan branch is so prosperous!"
After the steward left the box, Li Yu eagerly held the tide-watching conch and the Yangquan tide shell in his hands and looked at them carefully.
The conch is naturally alive. When he gently shook it in his hand, the originally azure shell suddenly produced a gradient wave pattern.
At the same time, a dull thunder also sounded, startling the nearby spirit shell to close its shell tightly and shiver inside.
Li Yu hurriedly laid the tide-watching conch flat.
Soon, the Yangquan tide-watching conch quietly opened its shell, stretched out its axe foot and moved towards the conch little by little.
Finally, the two successfully merged.
The Yangquan tide-watching conch nestled on the edge of the operculum of the tide-watching conch, and the rice-sized spirit pearl flickered slightly.
A ray of light golden halo escaped from the shell, sank into the conch, circled around it, and then returned to the spirit pearl.
"It seems that these two have indeed achieved some kind of symbiosis!" Li Qing looked up at Li Yu, "What are you going to do?"
Li Yu was speechless for a moment, feeling a kind of dilemma.
He bought the tide-watching conch at a premium to build his foundation. If he gave it up for this spirit shell, it would definitely be a waste of natural resources.
But Yangquan Haichaobei is the second-level spiritual beige that he has been looking for for a long time. After decades, it has become an obsession.
If he watched it madly self-destruct and die, Li Yu would feel a little uncomfortable.
Li Qing sighed and handed the Xuanshui Stone to him again: "Or, you can just make do with it and use this one?"
Li Yu was silent for a moment, and still put the Xuanshui Stone into the storage bag: "I'll think about it first. Anyway, the foundation building is not today."
Li Qing nodded slightly and did not interfere with his decision.
He looked up at the auction house below, where the atmosphere was getting more and more intense, and this auction was about to come to an end.
"Everyone, take a look!" Yu Jizi opened a simple jade box, "This is the finale treasure of today's auction, the Dayi Treasure Mirror. According to legend, it contains a list of 300 treasures of Master Dayi."
Li Qing raised his eyebrows and thought, "Interesting!"
Master Dayi is a great man who has been recorded in several secret realms in the area of Tanyuan Immortal City.
It is said that he has a Dayi treasure house, which contains 300 treasures of different categories, each of which can make Yuanying Zhenjun crazy.
After Master Dayi ascended, the treasure house also disappeared, which is a pity.
