Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1258: Chapter 822: Auction (Part 3)

"Seven thousand, going once! Any other bids?"

"Seven thousand, going twice!"

"Seven thousand, going thrice!"

"Congratulations to the distinguished guest in Box Number Eighteen for winning this auction item, the Jade Cloud Boat!"

Yang Zhenshan exhaled slightly, this auction was truly nerve-wracking.

Fortunately, he managed to secure the Jade Cloud Boat!

The auction continued, but the items up next were some rather ordinary things.

Various stage-breaking elixirs, mana-enhancing elixirs, high-grade magic artifacts, and various rare curiosities.

There were many items, making Yang Zhenshan a bit dazzled, but not many caught his interest.

About an hour later, a maid delivered the Jade Cloud Boat to his box, and Yang Zhenshan paid seven thousand low-grade spirit stones to take hold of the Jade Cloud Boat.

The small flying boat had not undergone refining, it was just a little over a foot long, spindle-shaped, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, resembling a black-roofed boat.

"Looks pretty decent, I’ll refine it after getting back and give it a try!" Yang Zhenshan was quite satisfied as he tossed it into the study of the Spirit Source Land.

Another hour passed, and the public auction items ended, entering the hidden auction phase.

"First item of the hidden auction, mid-grade Foundation Establishment Pill, its specific effects need no explanation from me, ahem. There are three Foundation Establishment Pills available in this auction, taking bids from the highest three offers in this hidden auction, please submit your bids!"

No starting price, just place your bids.

The atmosphere in the venue instantly became tense.

Foundation Establishment Pills are not top-grade magic artifacts.

For cultivators at the late-stage Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment Pills represent an opportunity to enter the threshold of the immortal path.

A late-stage Qi Refining cultivator would definitely not want to miss any chance to obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Yang Zhenshan glanced at the crowd on the first floor, then picked up the jade scroll in front of him and inscribed the number thirty thousand with mana.

He certainly did not need Foundation Establishment Pills himself now; he still had a mid-grade Foundation Establishment Pill and a low-grade Foundation Establishment Pill in his possession.

But he also wouldn’t mind having more Foundation Establishment Pills.

Currently, he has five young disciples; in addition to Yang Jizhen, Ma Qiuyan, Cui Yang, and Ning Yun, last year he took another young disciple, Zhang Hexuan.

Zhang Hexuan hails from Divine Wood Island and had already mastered the Green Wood Skill at just eight years old.

His ancestors were tenant farmers of the Yang family, from Da Rong to Star Moon Island, then from Star Moon Island to Divine Wood Island, arguably the most loyal batch of servants to the Yang family, so Yang Zhenshan directly took him under his wing.

Five disciples, requiring five Foundation Establishment Pills in the future.

Even though Yang Zhenshan could refine Foundation Establishment Pills in the future, he doesn’t mind preparing several more, as they say, it’s best to be prepared.

However, it was apparent that he underestimated the price of Foundation Establishment Pills, his bid yielded no result.

The final transaction prices for the three Foundation Establishment Pills were forty-eight thousand, forty-six thousand, and forty-five thousand five hundred low-grade spirit stones respectively.

"Second item of the hidden auction, mid-grade magic treasure Red Sun Sword, this sword is a rare sword artifact, most suited for sword cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage... please place your bids!"

Yang Zhenshan again entered a bid of fifty thousand spirit stones into a jade scroll, but yet again, there was no follow-up.

This mid-grade magic treasure was auctioned off at a price of eighty-eight thousand.

When Yang Zhenshan heard Master Yun Ge announce the transaction price, he couldn’t help but click his tongue.

In the Qi Refinement Realm, cultivators use magic artifacts; at the Foundation Establishment Stage, they use magic treasures. Yang Zhenshan currently has no magic treasure, so he truly wanted to purchase this one, even if it didn’t suit him, he wouldn’t mind buying it.

Unexpectedly, his bid was much lower than others.

Yang Zhenshan silently calculated in his mind, if he hadn’t come by the Lian family’s windfall, then with the spirit stones accumulated by the Spirit Source Land over the years, it seems he couldn’t afford this mid-grade magic treasure either.
