I Can Fix My Talent in Hundred Lives-Chapter 234 - 194: The Fall of Shi Fang (Part 3)

Chen Xixing put down the teacup:

"The Ice Soul Bead is not on the list. According to the previous estimated price, if it exceeds this price, give it up and prioritize retaining funds for the spiritual materials on the list."

"Yes, big brother!"

Just after ending the communication with Chen Mo, another message came in, from Chen Shuang, who was in charge of the Cold Water Port auction:

"Big brother, there has appeared a Tier Four Spiritual Material, ’Water Pattern Jade,’ at Cold Water Port, and currently there are Nascent Soul clan members bidding..."

A flash of sharpness crossed Chen Xixing’s eyes: "Directly give it up, do not sacrifice the greater for the lesser."

"Understood!"

As Chen Xixing was coordinating the overall situation, the chief auctioneer of the Three Elements Auction took the stage.

The chief auctioneer, a late-stage Golden Core cultivator with graying hair, held an auction hammer inlaid with jewels, and his loud voice spread throughout the entire hall:

"Fellow Daoists, the next item up for auction is a rare spiritual material that has flowed out from the Ancient Yue Grotto Heaven—Tier Three Top Grade ’Thick Earth Elemental Crystal’!"

As his words fell, a maid cautiously carried a jade box onto the stage. When the jade box was opened, a wave of heavy earth spiritual qi rushed forth.

Inside the box lay a crystal stone the size of a fist, wholly dark brown, with a gentle sheen on its surface. The internal flow of earth spiritual power could be vaguely seen circulating within the crystal stone.

It was precisely the main target of Chen Xixing in this auction—Thick Earth Elemental Crystal.

"The Thick Earth Elemental Crystal can be directly used to temper the Earth Dao Foundation, also serving as the core material for refining a Tier Three Top Grade Earth Element Magical Treasure, and it is an invaluable treasure for cultivating techniques like ’Thick Earth Technique’!"

The chief auctioneer slowly introduced:

"The starting bid is 200,000 Middle Grade Spirit Stones, with each increment not lower than 5,000 Middle Grade Spirit Stones. Now, the bidding begins!"

"205,000 Middle Grade Spirit Stones!" As soon as the chief auctioneer’s voice fell, someone in the hall was the first to bid.

"210,000!"

"220,000!"

The price rose like a tidal wave, quickly breaking through 300,000 Middle Grade Spirit Stones in the blink of an eye.

Chen Xixing sat in the private box, calmly observing the bidding situation through the Communication Stone—the participants included Loose Cultivators, Sect Cultivators, and even members from other Commerce Associations.

"400,000 Middle Grade Spirit Stones!"

When the price reached 350,000, Chen Xixing finally offered a bid through the Communication Stone.

With this price announced, the hall instantly quieted down a bit, and many Loose Cultivators and Sect Cultivators shook their heads and gave up; this price far exceeded what they could bear.

It even exceeded the price of most Tier Four Spiritual Objects. Although the Thick Earth Elemental Crystal was precious, it was not worth this price.

With the auction hammer’s fall, the Thick Earth Elemental Crystal officially belonged to Chen Xixing. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

The maid quickly delivered the jade box to the private box, and Chen Xixing opened the jade box, touching the Thick Earth Elemental Crystal, as a wave of heavy earth spiritual qi flowed into his body through his fingertips, making him nod in satisfaction.

This Thick Earth Elemental Crystal was the top item on the auction list Chen Sheng had entrusted to him, concerning his father’s Dao journey.

No matter how high the price may be, he had to obtain it. Now, merely 400,000 Middle Grade Spirit Stones was entirely acceptable to him!

Meanwhile, other Chen clan members sent back victorious news through the Communication Array:

"Big brother, the Ice Soul Bead at the Sunset Immortal City has been acquired!"

"Although we did not acquire the Water Pattern Jade at Cold Water Port, I did acquire a Tier Three Top Grade ’Flame Crystal’!"

"I acquired a Tier Four Spiritual Material, ’Heaven-Burning Grass,’ at the Red Flame City auction!"

Listening to the stream of victorious news, Chen Xixing showed a gratified smile on his face.

In just a short period, the Chen clan members had taken over a dozen high-tier spiritual materials at major auctions, along with various high-tier resources obtained through exchanging pills.

With the opening of the Ancient Yue Grotto Heaven, although only one person from the Yunlan Chen clan entered, their gained harvest far exceeded expectations.
