第三千七百零九章 压轴宝物

In short, spirit herbs are hard to come by.

And at any auction, the pills that can help break through a bottleneck usually attract the most attention.

Generally, they serve as the finale of the auction.

Indeed, Rain Mist Business Alliance's grandeur was no exaggeration; only the second item being auctioned had already brought out such rare treasures.

This Peach Blossom Gathering truly left everyone speechless!

The old monsters were both awestruck and grateful for their presence. If they couldn't witness such a grand event in person, they would surely regret it later, and some essential treasures might be lost to them.

When the Mysterious Void Marvelous Pill appeared, it indeed drew all eyes.

Rain Mist Business Alliance, whether with its vast resources or carefully arranged auction sequence, deserved admiration for their tactics.

Even domain experts residing in the Flying Sky Cave Realm were now filled with anticipation for what would follow.

The bidding for this Mysterious Void Marvelous Pill continued to rise.

"Seventy thousand!"

"Eighty thousand!"

...

Higher bids kept climbing.

Remember, Rain Mist Business Alliance had initially set a base price of only fifty thousand crystal stones.

In just the time it took for a meal, the bid had tripled and more.

Though spirit resources were abundant in the Spirit Realm, top-grade crystal stones remained scarce. Such bidding prices made even old monsters withstanding tribulation feel their wallets being emptied.

The bids gradually thinned out.

It wasn't that the Mysterious Void Marvelous Pill lacked allure; rather, its value was too high for such a single pill.

In essence, only a minuscule chance existed of breaking through one's bottleneck by swallowing it.

For such a slim hope, going bankrupt seemed unjustified.

"Two hundred thousand!"

...

A clear voice cut through the air.

This extraordinary auction finally came to an end, won by a red-robed cultivator.

She was overjoyed but also showed signs of worry on her face… she had obtained the desired treasure, but at such a steep price.

While not bankrupting herself, it would leave her with little money for future auctions, making it hard to compete even if more enticing treasures appeared.

...

The Peach Blossom Gathering continued smoothly.

Almost every item auctioned drew countless exclamations of amazement.

Pills, magical artifacts, talismans, and refining materials were sold one after another. Each had unique advantages and purposes.

Though the base prices weren't high, they still attracted fierce bidding from tribulation experts.

The final selling prices were quite eye-catching; there was no item that failed to sell. Rain Mist Business Alliance made a fortune in just two or three hours.

"Alright, next will be a finale item for auction. Fellow cultivators, please pay close attention…"

Though the previous auctions were spectacular, Lin Xuan had not bid on any of them.

It wasn't merely due to his high standards; these items held little use for him. His purpose in attending this Peach Blossom Gathering was clear.

Firstly, he sought a cultivation technique suitable for his second spirit embryo. Secondly, he wanted to see if there were any treasures that could speed up his progress.

With the True Spirit Inner Core already advanced, entering late-stage tribulation with two spirit embryos would significantly boost his strength.

This temptation was too great for Lin Xuan to resist.

Of course, he had heard of the three divine fruits in the cultivation world. If he could obtain one, it would be wonderful. Given the scale of this Peach Blossom Gathering, there was a high chance such an item might appear.

Indeed, while Lin Xuan's wealth was considerable, none of these domain experts could be judged by common standards. He had seen the splendor and demeanor of True Dragon Immortal, so he couldn't claim to match him but certainly didn't have much confidence in doing so.

With his wealth unmatched, he would focus on what mattered most.

He wouldn’t waste crystal stones on items that weren’t necessary. Lin Xuan planned to concentrate all his efforts on obtaining the treasures he needed.

In essence, he was waiting for this finale item, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

This was too outrageous; the Peach Blossom Gathering couldn't possibly auction just a few such items.

Lin Xuan began guessing in his mind. He didn’t need much effort as the voice of HeavenlyspinelVenerable (Heavenlyspinel Master) echoed in his ears, revealing the answer: "Some fellow cultivators might be attending their first auction and are unfamiliar with the rules. Unlike ordinary auctions, the finale item at this Peach Blossom Gathering is not presented all at once but distributed throughout different time slots."

Lin Xuan couldn't help but clap in admiration; he wondered which genius had thought of such a setup.

During different time slots, presenting different finale items could attract maximum attention and make the auction atmosphere more lively.

The benefits were obvious.

For the selling prices of the items, there would be an increase.

Thinking this way, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became much livelier.

Indeed, all present were tribulation experts with high standards. Despite their lofty expectations, they found it hard to find what they needed, making such a grand gathering indispensable.

The previous auction had not disappointed them.

So how would people react to the finale item?

As these thoughts raced through their minds, a beautiful maid stepped forward.

She held a silver tray in her hands.

Heavenlyspinel Master raised his hand and lifted the red cloth covering it, revealing an exquisite jade box.

Without any warning, a layer of white mist appeared in the air.

Ten Thousand Year Cold Jade!

No, it was the essence of cold jade itself, already a rare treasure.

If stored inside spirit materials, there would be no loss of medicinal properties.

Could this be another miraculous pill?

The cultivators began speculating, their expressions growing more focused.

Heavenlyspinel Master looked around and, seeing the scene, showed satisfaction on his face.

Then he lightly flicked his fingers; with a click, the box lid opened. Before anyone could see what was inside, an invigorating fragrance wafted out.

Just one whiff made them feel refreshed, and that scent seemed similar to ordinary peaches.

Wait… peaches? The divine peach fruit?

The cultivators were taken aback, their faces showing disbelief and even a hint of shock.
