Eastern Purple Qi Auction Hall.
Although there was still some time before the auction began, there were already VIPs arriving one after another.
Today's auction was a high-class auction. Ordinary people were not allowed to enter. Only VIPs of a certain level and those who had received an invitation were qualified to enter.
Although there were not many people, everyone who came could be said to be a reputable figure in the Immortal Dawn Sect.
Normally, these people would not be interested in auctions. After all, the things they needed would rarely appear in auctions.
However, this time, they were attracted by the words' Spirit Root Strengthening Pill '.
The invitation that Feng Qingwan sent out was very targeted.
Although the people who came today were all reputable figures in the Immortal Dawn Sect, they all had one thing in common, which was that their strength was average.
There were many reasons for their average strength, but the lack of talent was the most important one.
The biggest reason for their lack of talent was their spirit roots.
In the eyes of these people with insufficient talent, the things they desperately wanted were treasures that could help them improve their aptitude and talent.
They had a background, did not lack money, and were willing to fork out more money to improve their aptitude.
These people were the most powerful competitors for the Spirit Root Strengthening Pill.
However, Feng Qingwan only auctioned one Spirit Root Strengthening Pill a day.
One could foresee how intense the competition would be tonight.
There was still half an hour before the auction began.
At this time, Su Chen and Han Duoduo were still strolling in the night market outside.
Su Chen wanted to find something filled with the power of origin, so Han Duoduo brought him to the Immortal Dawn Sect's largest immortal cultivator trading market.
There were all kinds of things sold here, all of which were obtained by immortal cultivators from all walks of life.
When buying things here, one did not talk about where they came from, only the price. If they liked it, they would pay. If they did not like it, they would continue shopping. Whether it was picking up scraps or eye-catching, it was all based on one's strength.
In the beginning, Su Chen only came to collect old items that contained the power of origin. The older the item, the more power of origin it contained.
However, later on, Su Chen discovered something, or rather, a business opportunity.
He could determine the age of an item through the amount of power of origin.
One had to know that the things sold in this kind of market were full of fake goods. It was very easy to make a mistake.
However, Su Chen could determine the history of this item through the amount of [Origin] power it contained.
If it was a fake, it wouldn't have existed for too long, and the amount of origin power it contained would be extremely small.
If it was an ancient product, then the amount of origin power would be very high.
Although this was not the same as buying and selling antiques, the older they were, the more valuable they would be.
However, this could be used as a more accurate basis for judgment.
Things from ancient times might not necessarily be good, but they were rarely fake.
Things that were relatively old might not necessarily be worthless, but they were definitely not rare.
According to this standard, Su Chen bought and bought and bought without having to spend any effort to choose.
As long as the Source Power contained within it reached a certain level, he would buy it no matter what it was.
Even if the things he bought were of no use to him, he could still extract the power of origin from them and cultivate the Innate Primeval Skill. If he managed to pick up a good item, he would have profited even more.
Su Chen would not lose money in any way, so he had no pressure to spend money.
After strolling through half of the market, Su Chen had bought more than five hundred items of various sizes.
Even with Han Duoduo haggling for Su Chen, the people of the Immortal Dawn Sect gave her face and did not dare to blackmail Su Chen. However, after this trip, Su Chen had spent all the Spirit Stones he had on him. It was almost 1.2 billion, which could be considered a huge sum of money.
However, Su Chen did not mind. After all, as long as the Spirit Root Strengthening Pill was auctioned off, the money would be his.
According to Su Chen's estimation, this Spirit Root Strengthening Pill should be able to be auctioned off for a high price of more than eight billion. If the competition was more intense, it would not be impossible for one pill to be sold for a sky-high price of ten billion.
There was no need to doubt the value of the Spirit Root Strengthening Pill. The rarer something was, the more valuable it was. Under the situation where there were no substitutes, Su Chen's Spirit Root Strengthening Pill could be said to have completely monopolized the market. Others had no right to choose.
'If you want to become stronger, you can only buy my pills. Otherwise, you can just be a weakling for the rest of your life.'
Although having a supreme-grade Spirit Root did not mean that one would definitely become stronger, with such an innate foundation, one would definitely have an easier time on the path of cultivation compared to others. It would also allow one to achieve twice the results with half the effort.
"Brother Chen, the auction is about to start. Let's go take a look first. We'll come back later to shop." Han Duoduo pulled Su Chen's arm and said.
Su Chen nodded.
Just as they were about to set off for the auction, Su Chen suddenly stopped in his tracks.
His gaze landed on the stall beside him.
There was a stone weight that looked like an ordinary weapon placed there.
It was the size of a fist and had a rough surface. It looked like the shape of a weight, but no matter how one looked at it, it was actually just an ordinary stone.
None of the passers-by were willing to look at this broken stone for a second longer.
However, Su Chen had a feeling that his heart was moved.
This stone weight … It contained a very strong Power of Source. However, this was not enough to attract Su Chen's attention. After all, stones had existed since the birth of heaven and earth. Not many things were older than stones.
However, Su Chen was very familiar with the texture of this stone weight.
It was almost the same material as the Sacred Stone Dagger that he had obtained from Hemengdao.
The Power of Source that it emitted was also very similar.
Su Chen could conclude that these two stone tools came from the same source!
Moreover, if one looked closely, they would discover that this stone weight also emitted a faint aura of a Sacred Stone.
Just like the stone dagger, this was a genuine Sacred Artifact.
However, if one did not look closely, it would be difficult to notice.
"Boss, how much is this stone weight?"
The boss with the bamboo hat slowly raised his head, revealing a pair of eyes that had seen the vicissitudes of life. He said calmly, "500 million Spirit Stones, no bargaining."
Before Su Chen could say anything, Han Duoduo was already angry. "What did you say?
500 million Spirit Stones for this broken stone?
Why don't you go rob a bank? "
The boss did not seem to recognize Han Duoduo. In the face of Han Duoduo's anger, he chose to turn a blind eye. He said to Su Chen, "Since you know how to inquire about this stone weight, I'm sure you've seen how extraordinary it is. 500 million Spirit Stones is not considered expensive."
"It is indeed not expensive." Su Chen chuckled.
Not only was it not expensive, it was simply too cheap.
Su Chen guessed that the boss might have originally set a higher price, but since no one wanted to buy it, he lowered the price on his own.
Normally, a Sacred Stone, even the most ordinary First Grade Sacred Stone, would not be able to buy it with 500 million Spirit Stones.
However, ordinary people would not spend 500 million Spirit Stones to buy a broken stone that was completely ordinary and had nothing special except for its aura that resembled a Sacred Stone.
"This is not expensive?" Han Duoduo looked at Su Chen in surprise.
Su Chen patted her shoulder and said, "I've spent all my money. Lend me 500 million Spirit Stones to buy this stone weight first. I'll return it to you later."
"Brother Chen, are you sure?!"
