Chapter 686 Where did this prodigal son come from?
Mobile phones are very profitable, but only a few wealthy cultivators can afford to pay high prices. Among the major forces in the entire Tianyuan Continent, there are not many cultivators who truly control a large amount of wealth.
Even within the major forces, only a small number of cultivators directly related to the Nascent Soul stage cultivators control huge amounts of wealth, and the market is not large.
If you really want to make money from communications, you still need to rely on the market below.
However, this is still the early stage. Qingyunmen can make a lot of money by relying on the high-end market, and while making money, it can also better assist the Tianting plan.
Sun Yi was not shocked by the high prices these mobile phones fetched. Qingyun Sect had already earned enough money. Except for a portion of the spirit stones that would be used as reserves, the rest would need to be spent.
Sun Yi and his friends came to the auction not to see how much money they made, but to spend it.
Master Jin on the auction table has started a new round of auctions. The female monk has brought up an item for auction. The red cloth was removed, and a red-gold stone the size of an adult's head appeared in front of everyone.
"A fourth-grade, top-grade refining material, the Sun Crystal. Spiritual weapons refined with this top-grade material have a strong inhibitory effect on evil spirits. The starting price is five million spirit stones, and each bid must be no less than one hundred thousand spirit stones. The bidding begins!"
Although this auction was hosted by Bafang Pavilion, the treasures that appeared at the auction were not limited to those presented by Bafang Pavilion.
In addition, during this period, I also received a lot of treasures consigned by others.
Everyone knows that this is a grand auction that has not been held in hundreds of years. As long as the treasure is put on this auction, it can be sold at a high price.
"Eight million!" Sun Yi directly bid eight million, which immediately raised the price of the sun crystal by three million spirit stones. For a moment, countless eyes in the auction house looked towards the private room where Sun Yi and his friends were, but no one continued to bid.
"Who's in that private room? They actually raised the price by three million in one go!"
"The cultivator who can sit in that private room must be someone extraordinary. He raised the price by three million at once, so he must be determined to get the Sun Crystal. It's better not to fight for it."
Master Jin's eyelids twitched slightly. Others didn't know who it was, but he could recognize it as Sun Yi's voice. He didn't expect that Sun Yi would not follow the routine and actually raised the price by three million at once.
In the private room, Sun Yi's mouth curled up slightly. The most taboo thing in an auction is to raise the price little by little. The best way is to go straight for it. It not only shows one's financial strength, but also shows one's determination to win, which can scare away many competitors.
This method worked quite well. As expected, no one competed with Sun Yi in the bidding. Master Jin was also very considerate and asked three times faster before finally making the final decision.
"Master, what do you plan to use this sun crystal to refine?" Ouyang Can asked Sun Yi.
"I don't know. After all, it's a fourth-level material. Let's buy it first." Sun Yi said casually and continued to look at the auction table.
Then another treasure was brought up. It was a three-foot-long, arm-thick emerald green tree heartwood that exuded a rich wood-attributed aura.
As soon as this material was displayed, it instantly attracted the attention of many monks.
"A thousand-year-old spiritual wood heart, a fourth-grade wood-attribute refining material, the best material for refining a fourth-grade wood-attribute spiritual weapon. The base price is five million, and each bid increase must be no less than one hundred thousand spirit stones." Master Jin announced immediately.
"This is a good thing. I just need it to refine a wood-attributed spiritual weapon." A cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage looked at the thousand-year-old spiritual wood heart with joy on his face and was just about to make a bid.
"Eight million!" Sun Yi once again raised the price by three million. All of a sudden, those who were ready to bid shut up, and countless eyes turned to the private room where Sun Yi and his friends were staying.
The Yuanying stage elder hesitated for a moment before deciding to raise the price: "8.2 million!"
"Nine million!" Sun Yi raised the price by 800,000 without hesitation.
"Wow! Who is that person in this private room? That bid is way too high!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, so rich!"
"It seems that the people in the private room are determined to get this spiritual wood!"
The old man in the Nascent Soul stage hesitated again and gave up the idea of continuing to bid. The value of this thousand-year-old spiritual wood heart was actually only about seven or eight million.
Soon, Master Jin announced that the thousand-year-old spiritual wood heart was bought by Sun Yi and his group in a private room.
Sun Yi nodded in satisfaction. This thousand-year-old spirit wood heart was very important to Qingyun Sect because it was an excellent material for refining the Wood Spirit Sword. With so many Nascent Soul cultivators in Qingyun Sect planning to practice the Five Elements Kung Fu in the future, this fourth-grade spirit wood heart was simply not enough.
"I believe many fellow Taoists will be interested in the treasure below." Master Jin said as he reached out to lift the red cloth on the tray next to him, revealing a fist-sized jade stone underneath the red cloth.
The jade is covered with sealing runes, and in the center there is a thumb-sized golden flame, which looks like it is burning in the jade.
“Spiritual fire!”
"This is the Sun Spirit Fire!"
"It's actually a sun spirit fire. This is a very rare and top-grade spirit fire. It's a great aid for alchemy and refining, and it's not very difficult to refine."
"Must take it!"
“We must get it!”
……
Countless eyes were focused on this solar spirit fire. The faces of the Nascent Soul cultivators from top-notch forces such as Xuanhuo Sect, Tianhuoshan Mountain, Danwang Valley, Tiangui Sect, and Donghua Sword Sect showed expressions of interest.
"There's no need for me to elaborate on the preciousness of the Sun Spirit Fire. The starting price is five million, and each bid increase must be no less than one hundred thousand spirit stones. The auction begins!" With a wave of his hand, Master Jin immediately started bidding impatiently.
"Five million and one million!"
"Five and a half million!"
"Six million!"
"Seven million!"
"Seven million two hundred thousand!"
……
The price of the Sun Spirit Fire continued to soar. After the major forces joined in, the price of this spiritual fire was directly raised to 15 million by the Xuanhuo Sect.
When the price reached this point, even the top-tier forces began to hesitate. In fact, even the Sun Spirit Fire was only worth about twelve or thirteen million.
"Twenty million!" Sun Yi bid again, directly raising the price of Xuanhuo Gate by five million, which immediately attracted the attention of countless people.
"It's this private room again, and they're actually bidding 20 million. They're so rich!"
"Yes, this is far more than the value of this solar spirit fire."
"Where did this prodigal son come from? Twenty million spirit stones to buy a solar spirit fire, that's a complete waste!"
When the price reached this level, even Yan Lun, who was very interested in the Sun Spirit Fire, gave up. Although the Xuanhuo Sect made a lot of money through the life-and-death battle this time, they were unwilling to be a sucker and spend a high price to buy this Sun Spirit Fire. In the end, this Sun Spirit Fire was successfully obtained by Sun Yi.
