The starting price was one hundred thousand Spirit Stones, and the estimated value of the Eastern Grade Spirit Stone, Bloodfire, reached ten million. Anyone with sufficient funds could purchase it, but those who could afford such a price were undoubtedly backed by powerful forces, like the Ying Clan, Nangong Family, Yang Family, Moon River Sect, Treasure Pavilion, and others.
In any other auction, the Bloodfire displayed at Yan Dong's booth would have been enough to serve as the main attraction. However, within the Sky's End Tower, it was merely a supplementary item for this auction, showcasing the confidence of Sky's End Tower.
Bloodfire had many uses; aside from being used to create Blood Demon Pills, it could also be utilized by Transcendence cultivators who needed Nine Calamity Barrier Breaking Pills. Additionally, it could serve as a material for crafting artifacts, infused with a massive killing intent that made it difficult for ordinary cultivators to resist.
Whether Bloodfire was good or not was irrelevant; it was enough to attract the attention of Demonic Cultivators. Without any significant backing, no one dared to call out a price, creating an awkward atmosphere.
Ying Wuyi secretly glanced at Gu Ping. Despite their casual drinks together, Gu Ping showed no signs of worry. Was there really a Demonic Cultivator mingling among the auction attendees? Observing Gu Ping's confident demeanor only made Ying Wuyi increasingly convinced that Gu Ping's words held some truth.
After all this time spent preparing and promoting for over half a month without catching even a single fish—let alone Gu Ping—Lao Luo was unwilling to accept defeat. No one knew how many Demonic Cultivators lurked around Cheng Dao Sect. If they were indeed present, Cheng Dao Sect would likely be caught off guard. This thought sent a chill down Lao Luo and others' spines as they resolved to take advantage of Ninth Underworld's lack of breakthroughs in the Northern Region to address the Demonic Path threat.
One hundred eleven thousand.
On the second floor, Gu Ping noticed a table where guests were beginning to bid. His heart stirred; finally, someone couldn't hold back any longer. It wasn't just Demonic Cultivators; if Gu Ping had never relied on external possessions before, how could he not feel even a little tempted? He endured for three minutes with extraordinary resolve that made others wary of him.
One hundred twenty thousand.
One hundred thirty thousand.
"Moon River Sect seeks this item; how about everyone raises their bids?"
A swordsman stood proudly on the second floor, raising his wine cup as if to toast the crowd. Gu Ping had rarely encountered anyone from Moon River Sect; the most memorable was definitely Nine Nether Distant Lord Zhang Liuyuan. As for Yan Dong, Gu Ping had never truly seen him before.
"Leng Gucun, how did that guy end up here?"
Ying Wuyi whispered to Gu Ping, whose name was not unfamiliar at all. Back in The Book of Radiant Path, it was Leng Gucun who had been mentioned by the Master of the Moon River Sect. He recalled that Ru Ming, a genius disciple at the Foundation Establishment Stage, had already advanced to the Golden Core Stage. It was uncertain how many troubles the Moon River Sect had dealt with regarding hidden threats outside its ranks.
In the Eastern Extreme Secret Realm, Zhang Liuyuan was judged by many sect cultivators as a clear turning point for the Moon River Sect's decline. Before this, in the World of Mortals, how could the Moon River Sect, a super sect connected to both the Buddhist and Daoist Sects, lack prominence?
Ru Ming seemed to be doing well; disciples from various branches of the Moon River Sect were being expelled frequently, creating an atmosphere of fear and suspicion. There was considerable strength worth contemplating behind this turmoil. If I don't deny it, with support from Limitless Path, it seemed unlikely that the position of Super Sect would be held by the Moon River Sect any longer.
However, one must not forget that Tiandong City was also under Ru Ming's control through Limitless Path. Although Universe Hall was co-founded by the Six Great Sects, it was actually Limitless Path that held sway over the largest city of humanity. There were connections to Tian Di Dong and Heavenly Gate, allowing Limitless Path cultivators to traverse to the Eastern Realm at any time.
The Battle of Tiandong City had borrowed from the River of the Underworld rather than relying on the Heavenly Gate. It seemed that Tiandong City had been blocked by schemes from Ninth Underworld. If Limitless Path were indifferent to this situation, then Yin Tianheng's sword severing the immortal's restraints only confirmed this point. Regardless of whether or not Limitless Path was involved, other Daoist Sects were watching closely, even Nine Nether Immortal was eagerly anticipating developments.
The status of Moon River Sect appeared precarious. If there were no significant reasons for concern, how could such an outstanding disciple like Leng Gucun appear on Cheng Dao Sect's territory? Ying Wuyi's presence alone was enough to astonish Gu Ping; now with Ru Ming adding another Leng Gucun into the mix, that small auction hosted by Yan Dong was becoming increasingly interesting.
"One hundred sixty thousand," Ying Wuyi glanced at Leng Gucun and raised his wine cup. He thought it would be better if Brother Leng could be ruthless.
After finishing his drink with a dismissive expression, it was clear he wasn't going to give Leng Gucun any face.
"One hundred seventy thousand," Ying Zizi didn't bother to flatter him; he thought it would be fine to accompany Leng Gucun in this matter.
"One hundred eighty thousand," there was no need for more words; he intended to compete with him.
"One hundred ninety thousand," Leng Gucun truly wondered when Ying Sanzi had become so generous. But I don't deny it; he once resembled a child eagerly waiting for a piece of candy.
Two hundred thousand, just talking won't do any good.
Well, Gu Ping seems to have figured it out. Those two have known each other for a long time, and their relationship is quite unusual. I don't deny it. They were childhood playmates, and it seems they have been rivals since they were young, constantly comparing themselves to each other. On one side, he wants to catch a fish but isn't getting any bites, while on the other side, the two of them have already started arguing.
Two hundred thousand, Little Girl is certainly interested in that Bloodfire as well. I wonder if you two can be ruthless enough.
