Chapter 146 The Auction Begins, the Xiao Family Is Desperate

"Brother Wan, don't worry. In addition to magic weapons and healing elixirs... I have one more thing here that I think I am interested in."

Lin Chen's heart moved and he took out a Jin Yuan Dan.

Wanxun looked surprised after seeing Jin Yuandan.

"Brother Xu, you want to sell Jinyuan Pill? This... this is not an ordinary pill!"

Lin Chen nodded and said:

"Yes, Jin Yuan Dan is very expensive, but I think Beiwang City and the Righteous Alliance still need these elixirs, right?"

Wanxun nodded after hearing this and said:

"Jin Yuan Dan is indeed too valuable! The Dan-forming monks are not only beings that we, the Righteous Alliance, but also the Demon Sect must work hard to win over..."

"It's just that such a Jinyuan Dan...how can Brother Xu be willing to sell it?"

Lin Chen smiled and said:

"I'm a businessman. I can't bear to buy anything. As long as the price is right, I can sell it!"

After saying that, Lin Chen took out ten Jin Yuan Dan.

"These are ten middle-grade Jin Yuan Dan. It depends on whether you can eat them in Beiwang City."

After seeing the Jin Yuandan in Lin Chen's hand, Wan Xun's breathing suddenly became heavy.

Under the current battle situation between good and evil.

A pill-forming monk may not be able to influence the outcome of the battle.

But what if the number is expanded to ten?

Not to mention that the Righteous Alliance can directly overthrow the Demonic Path, but at least it can turn its disadvantages into advantages!

Ten middle-grade Jin Yuan Dan means that at least six monks in the Dan Formation stage can be born.

This is a huge temptation for the entire Righteous Alliance.

"Brother Xu, this matter is too important! I can't decide at the moment. I may need to go back to Changchun Gate to discuss it with the sect master."

Lin Chen nodded after hearing this. Ten middle-grade Jin Yuan Dan.

The business of one to two million spirit stones also involves the entire situation of the Righteous Alliance.

Even if Wanxun is a town guard, he can't decide.

So Lin Chen nodded and said:

"Brother Wan, don't be in a hurry...I'm just here to do some business. If I have time, I can accompany you to Changchun Gate."

After hearing this, Wanxun cupped his hands and said:

"Thank you for your understanding, Brother Xu. Why don't we talk about the purchase of magic weapons and healing pills first?"

Lin Chen nodded.

After a while of discussion, Wan Xun purchased various magic weapons and elixirs worth half a million spiritual stones on behalf of the monks in Beiwang City.

This spiritual stone was not provided by Wanxun, but by the monks in the city who provided a large part of it, and the Righteous Path Alliance subsidized part of it.

After all, the business of half a million spirit stones is not a small sum.

After the transaction was completed, Wanxun invited:

"Brother Xu, do you want to stay in my city for a few days so that I can fulfill my duties as a landlord?"

After hearing this, Lin Chen thought for a moment, nodded and said:

"Then I'll trouble Brother Wan."

So, in the next few days, Lin Chen stayed in Beiwang City.

The main thing is to see whether the situation between good and evil on the front line will threaten Lin Chen's future business and life.

Generally speaking, the strength of the demonic path is still much stronger than that of the righteous path.

The battle between the two sides was also extremely fierce. In just a few days, the devil attacked several times, trying to capture Beiwang City.

But Wanxun is not a vegetarian, and with the active participation of tens of thousands of monks in the city, the Beiwang City still remains indestructible.

During this period, Lin Chen and Wan Xun also took action together, killing a group of demon monks and earning a fortune.

After staying in Beiwang City for a week, Lin Chen felt that time was almost up, so he was ready to resign from Wan Xun.

…

Early that morning, Lin Chen went to the town guard mansion and met Wan Xun.

"Brother Wan, I've been nagging you a lot these days. I've almost finished my stay at the front line this time, and it's time to go see other places."

Wanxun was a little reluctant after hearing this, but still said:

"It is really a blessing for me to meet Brother Xu again."

"How about we discuss the Jin Yuandan matter in detail after I return to Changchun Gate?"

After hearing this, Lin Chen nodded in agreement, "It should be so. I should stay within the sphere of influence of the Righteous Alliance during this period of time, and I will come to see Brother Wan again."

The two of them were ten miles out of the city before Lin Chen took control of the magic weapon and flew south.

The so-called friendship between gentlemen is as light as water.

Lin Chen does not claim to be a gentleman, but Wan Xun is a gentleman from every angle, and he has a righteous heart.

Lin Chen felt very comfortable getting along with him.

…

A few days later, Guangyuan Town.

Lin Chen re-disguised himself as Master Wuleizi and stayed in Guangyuan Town for a few days.

During this period of time, the Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce has been promoting the next auction overwhelmingly.

In the name of Jin Yuandan, many casual cultivators and families in Yanlai territory were attracted.

For a time, the number of monks in Guangyuan Town nearly doubled, and even monks from the four major families came to the auction.

"It seems that the Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce's publicity effect is very good! Selling Jin Yuandan and providing protection breakthrough business at the same time... This is indeed an excellent bundled sale."

"I can only say that it is worthy of being the largest chamber of commerce in Qingzhou..."

Lin Chen thought silently in his heart.

Jin Yuan Dan is extremely expensive and the temptation is too great.

If it were an ordinary monk, after buying it from an auction, how to bring it back to the family would be a problem.

The Guangyuan Auction provides breakthrough protection, which is equivalent to directly solving this problem.

In addition, if the monk successfully breaks through to the pill formation, he will definitely be grateful to the Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce.

The Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce facilitates business and makes many friends at the same time, which is a great trick.

"Counting the time, the auction will almost start soon..."

Lin Chen went to the back of the auction and was personally received by Chairman Liu, who then sent Lin Chen to the VIP box on the second floor.

In the morning, the auction officially began.

It was still the enchanting female auctioneer that Lin Chen had seen several years ago.

She ignited the passion of the auction venue with just a few words.

"Dear fellow Taoists, you must have heard about the finale of the Guangyuan Auction today."

"Don't worry, our Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce is based on integrity. The middle-grade Jinyuan Pill is the finale... Before the auction, there are many superior magic weapons, and I believe you are also interested."

After a pause, the enchanting female auctioneer stepped forward and said:

"The first auction item is a set of top-grade flying swords, a total of six, with a starting price of 2,000 spirit stones..."

Because the Guangyuan Auction was well promoted, the cultivators at the venue were very enthusiastic.

Although most of the foundation-building cultivators came for the Jinyuan Pill.

But there was only one Jinyuan Pill, and other cultivators still bid.

Soon, this set of top-grade flying swords was sold at a price of 3,000 spirit stones.

…

As the auction was going on, Lin Chen sat in the VIP box, tasting spiritual fruits and watching the auction scene below with interest.

“Tsk tsk, I got more than 2,000 spiritual stones again, this feels really good.”

Lin Chen muttered.

The set of flying swords that were auctioned just now was naturally from his hands.

It is no exaggeration to say that the magic weapons sold by Lin Chen in the past few years have improved the average strength of the cultivators in the entire Yanlai Kingdom by his own efforts.

In the past, it was considered good for a cultivator who had perfected Qi Refining to use a low-grade magic weapon.

But now, even if the casual cultivators in Yanlai are not rich, they can buy a high-grade magic weapon.

It can be said that Lin Chen has brought down the price of the magic weapon by himself.

While Lin Chen was watching the show leisurely, the auction below was going on enthusiastically.

Soon, it was almost noon.

The auction also came to an end.

The charming auctioneer glanced at the venue and said loudly:

"Dear guests, the next is the final treasure of this auction, the Jinyuan Pill!"

"Moreover, this is a mid-grade Jinyuan Pill, which can increase the chance of breaking through the Jindan stage by more than 30%!"

As he spoke, a jade box was brought to the stage by Old Tan.

A special photo stone was used to enlarge the Jinyuan Pill and project it onto the wall, making it convenient for the cultivators present to watch.

When the Jinyuan Pill was taken out, the entire auction venue was boiling.

"Look, Jinyuan Pill! It's really Jinyuan Pill!"

"Hiss, it is rumored that this Jinyuan Pill can allow a cultivator who has completed the foundation to break through the Jindan stage! I didn't expect that I would be able to see such a pill in my lifetime!"

"..."

For a moment, all the cultivators in the venue stood up, wishing to be closer to the auction stage so that they could see the details of the Jinyuan Pill.

For these Qi-refining cultivators, the Jinyuan Pill is really the panacea in the rumors.

Some cultivators have never heard of it, and only know that this pill can help break through the Jindan stage, which makes them extremely surprised.

And the real competitors for this Jinyuan Pill are not the Qi-refining cultivators in the auction venue.

But the VIPs in the second-floor box.

At this moment, all the well-known foundation-building cultivators from major forces in the more than ten VIP boxes on the second floor stood up.

They looked at the Jinyuan Pill on the stage and took a breath of cold air.

"Wow, it's really the Jinyuan Pill!"

"Hiss, why would a magical medicine like the Jinyuan Pill appear in a small place like ours?"

"It's hard to say! It is said that the Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce is a large chamber of commerce in Qingzhou, and it seems not surprising that it can produce the Jinyuan Pill..."

"In any case, this Jinyuan Pill must be taken!"

"Opportunity, a huge opportunity! This is our only choice to become a Jindan force!"

For a time, the VIPs in the second-floor box were all boiling.

These distinguished guests are all clan leaders or elders of the foundation-building forces in Yanlai.

They have all cultivated to the late stage of foundation-building or even perfect foundation-building...

Even many forces have several foundation-building cultivators in one clan.

However, none of them have produced Jindan cultivators.

Although there is only one step between perfect foundation-building and Jindan, there is a world of difference!

In the entire Yanlai territory, there are only three forces that can be called Jindan forces.

The first one is naturally the Changchun Sect, which is the most powerful immortal cultivation sect within a thousand miles.

The second one is the former Wild Wolf Sect, which has Jindan cultivators sitting in, but has now been merged into the Demon Sect and moved away from Yanlai.

The third Jindan force is said to be the royal family of Yanlai.

It is rumored that the ancestor of the royal family has Jindan cultivators, but they have not appeared in the world for hundreds of years, but they are also firmly sitting on the throne of Jindan forces.

The rest are such as the four major immortal cultivation families and the behind-the-scenes bosses of major markets.

They are just foundation-building forces. Even if they have many perfect foundation-building cultivators, they cannot take that step until they reach the stage of forming a pill.

Therefore, countless families dream of getting such a Jinyuan Pill.

If a Jindan cultivator can really be born in a family, then it is really one person's enlightenment, and the whole family will ascend!

Therefore, when the Jinyuan Pill appeared, the representatives of more than ten foundation-building forces were all boiling.

At the auction venue, even if Mr. Tan could not see the situation in the box clearly, he could guess the expressions of these forces.

He nodded to the female auctioneer.

The enchanting female auctioneer announced the starting price of the Jinyuan Pill.

"Everyone, the starting price of the middle-grade Jinyuan Pill is 50,000 spirit stones, and each bid must not be less than 1,000 spirit stones!"

"Now, the auction begins!"

As the auctioneer finished speaking, the VIPs in the upstairs box started to fight like crazy.

"I'll offer 51,000 spirit stones!"

"51,000, who are you looking down on? I'll offer 60,000 spirit stones!"

"I'll offer 68,000 spirit stones!"

"70,000 spirit stones!"

"80,000..."

As more than a dozen foundation-building forces fought frantically, the auction price of the Jinyuan Pill climbed all the way and directly broke through the 100,000 spirit stone mark.

It was not until it rose to 110,000 spirit stones that most foundation-building families gradually withdrew from the competition.

Only four forces were still bidding.

They were the Xiao family, Meng family, Cai family of Yanlai City and the royal family of Yanlai Country.

"Haha, Brother Xiao is really courageous! But I am determined to get this Jinyuan Pill! I'll offer 115,000 spirit stones!"

The head of the Meng family was already red-eyed. For this Jinyuan Pill, he did not hesitate to turn against his old friend.

"Brother Meng is willing to give it up, but can't you let me have this great opportunity? I'll pay 118,000 spirit stones!"

The person who spoke was the head of the Cai family.

"..."

So after another round of bidding, the price of this middle-grade Jinyuan Pill actually rose to 125,000 spirit stones.

Such a high price has even exceeded the value of the Jinyuan Pill itself.

However, Yanlai Realm is a small place after all, and few people have seen Jinyuan Pill.

The local tyrants in small places also have some assets.

Including the three major families and the Yanlai royal family, they all have to consider whether this Jinyuan Pill is their only chance to break through the Jindan in this life.

When the price rose to 130,000 spirit stones.

The Meng family and the Cai family of the three major families are still slightly weaker.

After all, the way of talismans and refining equipment are not as profitable as refining pills.

At this time, only two major forces are still competing.

They are the Xiao family and the Yanlai royal family.

The Yanlai royal family has a deep foundation and has a history of hundreds of years.

It is suspected that there is still a Jindan-stage ancestor in the family.

The Xiao family is famous in Yanlai for its alchemy.

Although the foundation is still shallow, with less than two hundred years of history, it also has a lot of savings.

In addition, in recent years, it has cooperated with Lin Chen and made a lot of money, and the foundation is also very strong.

The difference is that the Yanlai royal family still has a way out. They have a Jindan ancestor in charge. Although the second Jindan cultivator is also needed, it is not so urgent.

On the other hand, the Xiao family has been waiting for this opportunity for too long.

The Xiao family has always been the strongest among the four major families.

Hundreds of cultivators in the family have almost reached the peak of the foundation-building force.

What they lack is only one step, that is, to advance to the Jindan force!

And at this moment, such a great opportunity is in front of him, there is no reason to give up.

The head of the Xiao family stood in the box, his hands clenched tightly, his eyes fixed on the Jinyuan Pill.

Finally, a price was called out:

"I'll pay 140,000 spirit stones!"

After hearing this price, the royal family of Yanlai in another box finally fell silent.

140,000 spirit stones, this price has far exceeded their expectations.

It is even more than enough to buy two ordinary low-grade Jinyuan Pills.

"Haha, 140,000 spirit stones, it seems that your Xiao family has made a lot of money in the past two years!"

"I want to see if you have the life to buy this Jinyuan Pill!"

In the box, the royal family of Yanlai made a harsh remark, and finally had no choice but to withdraw from the bidding.

On the auction table, the female auctioneer shouted:

"140,000 spirit stones for the first time... 140,000 spirit stones for the third time!"

"Congratulations to the VIP from Box No. 4 for successfully bidding for a medium-grade Jinyuan Pill!"

In the box, the head of the Xiao family finally sat down on the chair.

His clenched fists finally loosened, and sweat had already wet his back.

140,000 spirit stones, this is almost half of the Xiao family's heritage.

The whole family bid for this Jinyuan Pill, which was undoubtedly a gamble.

If he won the bet, he would take the Jinyuan Pill to break through to the Jindan stage, and the Xiao family would soar to the sky.

If he lost the bet, he would lose everything, and the Xiao family would be kicked out of the four major families, and even be inferior to the ordinary foundation building strength...

"This time, we must win!" The head of the Xiao family muttered silently.

At the venue, President Liu and Old Tan did not expect that this middle-grade Jinyuan Pill would be sold at such a sky-high price!

Although the middle-grade Jinyuan Pill is a rare treasure in Qingzhou, its value is only 100,000 spirit stones.

Even if there is a premium, 110,000 spirit stones is the maximum.

In the box, Lin Chen laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.

"Wow, it seems that the Jinyuan Pill is particularly attractive to these big families!"

Lin Chen murmured.

He had only sold one top-grade Jinyuan Pill to the Li family before, and it was half sold and half given away.

It was for the sake of Li Zhenqian.

But Lin Chen did not sell Jinyuan Dan to the other three families.

After all, this is a business, and Lin Chen still has to consider maximizing profits.

Auctioning a Jinyuan Dan every month is undoubtedly the best way to make a profit, long-term and stable.

Although the auction is over, the enthusiasm of the cultivators in the venue has not diminished at all.

At this time, President Liu walked onto the auction stage and announced loudly:

"This auction ends here!"

"First of all, we congratulate the VIP in Box No. 4 for winning a Jinyuan Dan."

"Next, this VIP will get a free breakthrough protection opportunity. He can complete the breakthrough and leave in my Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce under the protection of two Jindan predecessors."

President Liu's voice was not loud, but the head of the Xiao family was even more ecstatic after hearing it.

He originally auctioned this Jinyuan Pill for himself.

He has been stuck in the foundation building stage for more than ten years, and he is only one step away from breaking through to the Jindan stage.

Originally, he was worried that he would be intercepted by other families after bidding for the Jinyuan Pill.

But if he could break through in Guangyuan Town, it would undoubtedly be a great thing.

"My Xiao family, will it soar to the sky or be destroyed... It all depends on this time!" The head of the Xiao family thought silently.

On the auction stage, President Liu continued:

"In addition, I received a temporary notice that on this day next month, our auction venue will have another mid-grade Jinyuan Pill auctioned!"

"All cultivators who bid for this Jinyuan Pill can receive a free breakthrough protection provided by my Guangyuan Chamber of Commerce!"

As soon as these words came out, the cultivators in the entire auction venue were boiling.

"What? There are actually two Jinyuan Pills, such a treasure..."

"It is worthy of being a major force in Qingzhou! This foundation is amazing!"
