Qin Ming thought for a moment.
For this trip to the Spirit Dwelling Islands, it will be necessary to rent Second Tier island Spirit Field, and the expenses are estimated to be considerable.
So, he took out the bark of the Second-Rank Spirit Plant Crimson Silver Yellow Hemp and a bottle of Extreme Grade Marrow Cleansing Pill from his Storage Bag and placed them in front of Gu Qingzhao.
Originally, Qin Ming had intended to use that bottle of Extreme Grade Marrow Cleansing Pill himself, but as a result, the [Mana Crystal] Entry refreshed, and he Breakthrough to the Late Qi Condensation Stage in one fell swoop.
He wouldn't need so many Stage-Breaking Pills for the Late Qi Condensation Stage anymore.
"Then I will trouble Daoist Friend Gu to auction these two items on my behalf."
Gu Qingzhao curiously opened the Jade Bottle and looked inside. Instantly, her eyes lit up, and a strong look of joy appeared between her brows.
"It's actually Extreme Grade Marrow Cleansing Pill!"
"Fellow Daoist Qin, these two items can be considered Final Auction Items!"
Qin Ming smiled. Seeing Gu Qingzhao in such a state, he suddenly felt a sense of captivating beauty.
"It seems Fellow Daoist Qin has fully inherited Pill Master Su's True Inheritance!"
"I believe once Fellow Daoist Qin achieves Foundation Establishment, it won't be long before you Breakthrough to become a Second-Order Pill Refiner."
"Dual Second Tier skills are extremely rare even in the entire Wei Country Cultivation World."
A smile appeared at the corner of Gu Qingzhao's mouth as she praised Qin Ming.
Qin Ming waved his hand, "Ah, Daoist Friend Gu, you overpraise me. My Spirit Root Aptitude is low, and Foundation Establishment is still a distant prospect."
"I don't see it that way. Fellow Daoist Qin has great potential, and Foundation Establishment is just a matter of time." Gu Qingzhao revealed a playful smile.
Qin Ming smiled helplessly upon hearing this.
Three days later.
A giant Magic Boat, even larger than the Spirit Feather Sect's Ferrying Abyss Dharma Boat, slowly docked in front of the Cloud Dream Mountain Sect Gates.
Inside the ship cabin were Fifth Layer, and outside were Third Level pavilions, capable of accommodating several thousand Cultivators in total.
Like a primeval behemoth, Qin Ming stood beneath it and appeared extremely small.
Only the Mirror Snow Pavilion could afford to raise such a gold-swallowing behemoth. It was estimated that the Spirit Stones consumed for a single voyage would not be a small number.
At this time.
In the distant sky, countless Escaping Light streaks flew towards this direction one after another.
"These Cultivators have all purchased Ship Tickets and are leaving the Cloud Marsh Great Wilderness with us."
"They are also Cultivators who are unwilling to get involved in this Major Power dispute." Gu Qingzhao said lightly, standing beside Qin Ming.
The Mirror Snow Pavilion guards began to verify the boarding Jade Slips one by one before allowing passage.
More and more Cultivators gathered; in just one morning, several thousand people had arrived.
"Daoist Friend Gu, are you not afraid that some unscrupulous people might mix in among them?" Qin Ming asked doubtfully.
Gu Qingzhao smiled upon hearing this, "Even if they are unscrupulous people, as long as they are willing to pay Spirit Stones, I will accept them without question."
"Fellow Daoist Qin, you don't need to worry. The safety of the ship is very reliable."
Seeing her so confident, Qin Ming was also much relieved.
At Gu Qingzhao's invitation, he boarded the Magic Boat.
Until the early afternoon hour.
All of the Cultivators had already boarded the ship.
The huge Dharma Boat slowly started moving, and Qin Ming and Gu Qingzhao stood at the edge of the Third Level of the Magic Vessel.
Watching Cloud Dream Mountain gradually disappear from their sight, a sudden, inexplicable feeling of melancholy surged in Qin Ming's heart.
When he first came to this Great Wilderness, he never thought he would be able to return one day.
"Fellow Daoist Qin, come inside and have a cup of Spirit Tea." Gu Qingzhao seemed accustomed to this kind of life and appeared very casual and unrestrained.
Qin Ming no longer sighed with emotion, nodded, and followed her into the luxurious suite located on the top Third Level.
Originally, he had asked Gu Qingzhao to arrange an ordinary Room, but she had still prepared a superior Room for him.
The Room was very spacious with an excellent view. From the window, one could overlook the scenery outside.
…
Three days later.
Inside the Banquet Hall on the Fourth Layer of the Magic Vessel, several hundred Cultivators had successively taken their seats.
Most of those who could enter here were Qi Condensation Stage Cultivators with considerable Strength.
There were also four or five traces of Magical Power Aura from Foundation Establishment Stage Great Cultivators, seemingly present and seemingly absent, hidden among the numerous Cultivators.
Not long after.
The Auction on the Mirror Snow Pavilion Magic Boat began.
Qin Ming and Gu Qingzhao sat in a Private Room, eating Pastries brought by attendants while watching the Venue below.
"Welcome everyone, Fellow Daoists, to participate in this Auction."
"I can only say that this Auction will feature heavyweight Auction Items, and it will certainly not disappoint all of you present!"
A middle-aged Cultivator in a black robe ascended the central stage and began to warm up the Scene.
"First, the first Auction Item."
Two bottles of Pills were directly brought onto the stage by attendants.
The middle-aged Cultivator lightly opened one of the Bottle Stoppers, and a refreshing Pill Fragrance spread out. A deep blue Spirit Pill suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.
"A Spirit Pill that can enhance Magic Power in the Mid to Late Qi Condensation Stage—the Essence Nurturing Pill!"
"I think this Spirit Pill needs no further introduction from me, right?"
"Among all Pills that enhance Magic Power in the Qi Condensation Realm, none have a better effect than this Pill."
The middle-aged Cultivator's voice had just faded.
"It's actually the Essence Nurturing Pill!"
"Who is the master alchemist behind this?"
"It is said that the Essence Nurturing Pill is extremely difficult to refine, and ordinary Pill Masters simply dare not attempt it."
The atmosphere at the Scene was suddenly ignited.
The middle-aged Cultivator raised his hand, cleared his throat, and shouted, "Essence Nurturing Pill, five Pills per bottle."
"Starting Price, four hundred Spirit Stones."
"Each Bid Increase must not be less than ten Spirit Stones!"
Having said that.
The Cultivators below began to Bid Increase one after another.
"I bid four hundred and twenty!"
"Four hundred and fifty!"
"Four hundred and eighty!"
"Five hundred!"
…
Qin Ming had not expected that the Essence Nurturing Pills he had initially sold to Gu Qingzhao would be so sought after.
He knew that when he sold them, they were only four hundred and fifty Spirit Stones per bottle.
Now, after one round of Bid Increases, they had soared to over five hundred Spirit Stones.
'Why do I feel like I've lost out a bit?'
Inside the Private Room.
Gu Qingzhao looked at Qin Ming's expression and couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Five hundred and fifty!"
The Bid Increase continued.
"Five hundred and eighty!"
All the Cultivators obviously knew the rarity of this Pill. Once this opportunity was gone, it would be gone. They frantically Bid Increased.
"Good!"
"Five hundred and eighty, once!"
"Five hundred and eighty, twice!"
"Five hundred and eighty, three times!"
"Transaction!"
…
After a round of intense competition.
The second bottle of Essence Nurturing Pills was also Transactioned for over five hundred Spirit Stones.
"Next is the second Auction Item."
An attendant brought up another item.
The middle-aged Cultivator lifted a red cloth, and an azure Dharma Robe appeared before everyone's eyes.
"High Grade Azure Spirit Dharma Robe, possessing both Defense and Acceleration effects, capable of withstanding a Full Power Strike from a Late Qi Condensation Stage Cultivator."
"Starting Price, five hundred Spirit Stones!"
"I bid six hundred!"
…
As Auction Items were auctioned off one by one at high prices.
The Auction House was also approaching its Climax.
An attendant carefully brought up an exquisite Jade Bottle.
The middle-aged Cultivator, his eyes also fiery, lightly opened the Bottle Stopper. In an instant, a stream of azure Spirit Aura floated out.
Immediately, Pill Fragrance diffused.
"Next is the first Final Auction Item of this Auction."
"Stage-Breaking Pill, Extreme Grade Marrow Cleansing Pill!"
"Starting Price, two thousand Spirit Stones per Pill!"
Boom! The Scene erupted into an unprecedented sensation.
