Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

The first auction item sold for 230,000 inferior grade Spirit Stones, completely igniting the entire auction hall.

Everyone was extremely excited, and even Lin Shiming felt a pang of regret that the family hadn't brought more Spirit Stones.

One must know that during the auction he attended more than a decade ago, the first auction item only sold for 9,000 Spirit Stones. Now, the price had increased more than twentyfold.

Sure enough, in the next moment, He Xuan brought out a Spirit Talisman. Although it was only a second rank Supreme Grade, the reputation of the Substitution Talisman was incredibly resounding—it could block a fatal attack once and transfer the user's position over a hundred meters away!

Though it was only a hundred meters, for second rank Qi Cultivators, it was an unspeakably precious life-saving treasure.

Even some Foundation Establishment Cultivators started to become tempted, as the effect of transferring one's position over a hundred meters away was something any cultivator could utilize.

"Second Rank Substitution Talisman, starting bid is 10,000 Spirit Stones, with each increase no less than 500 Spirit Stones!" He Xuan announced the auction once more.

"15,000!"

"20,000!"

"30,000!"

For a moment, the Qi Cultivators and Foundation Establishment Cultivators in the front rows began to continually call out their bids.

They were all so fiercely competitive that they wished they could secure the item with the highest bid right away.

Lin Shiming, however, did not make a move. After purchasing the Hornet Blood-Breaking Needle, he had only over 100,000 Spirit Stones left. Including the Spirit Stones for the auction of the Foundation Establishment Pill from his family, it added up to just over 300,000 Spirit Stones.

To the side, Lin Houwei, Lin Houxuan, and Lin Shiyi were also astoundingly surprised. This was their first time participating in an auction where the bidding started at over a hundred thousand for the items. To think that even the second auction item could serve as the finale of finales in Xing County.

Of course, they suspected that the Lin Family wouldn't part with it either, as keeping it for personal use would play a more critical role.

Only a great talisman-cultivating sect like the Spirit Talisman Sect could easily bring out such items.

The auction continued, and besides Spirit Talismans, a large number of Spirit Beast younglings and Demonic Beast eggs appeared for bidding, which was unheard of in previous auctions.

The atmosphere in the entire auction hall surged wave after wave.

In the end, even Third Rank Superior Grade Magic Artifacts and Magical Treasures made an appearance, making the whole auction extraordinarily fiery.

And after two Third Rank late stage treasures were auctioned off, it was finally time for the Foundation Establishment Pills that the Qi Cultivators were most concerned about.

First, the Foundation Establishment families and Qi Cultivators entered the bidding, with a total of sixty Foundation Establishment Pills. However, this time they were auctioning two pills at once, which meant that although the starting bid was halved, the actual starting bid for two pills was the same as before.

"The Foundation Establishment Pills will start with two at a time, starting bid of 50,000, with each increment not less than 1,000 Spirit Stones—start bidding!" With the start announced by He Xuan, the entire auction hall utterly erupted.

The starting bid was halved, and with sixty pills available, that meant thirty opportunities.

This was unthinkable in previous Qingxuan Conventions.

"60,000!"

"70,000!"

...

"120,000!"

This bid was put forth by Lin Shiming; for the first price, he directly added 50,000!

This also made many of the Qi Cultivators and Foundation Establishment Cultivators turn their eyes toward Lin Shiming, with some who had been attending for over a decade also surprised by the terrifying breakthrough in Lin Shiming's cultivation level.

While they were astonished, the speed of the bids didn't slow down in the slightest.

Especially the family cultivators from Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Jinzhou—after participating in this auction, they had to rush to the borders of the Chu and Zhao states. The more Foundation Establishment Pills they could secure now, the more hope they could leave for their families!

"180,000 Spirit Stones!"

With the final bid of 180,000 Spirit Stones, the auction for the first batch of Foundation Establishment Pills concluded, taken by a family from Qingzhou.

Lin Shiming did not participate in the bidding. The prices for the first few batches and the later batches would be very high, but since there were enough Foundation Establishment Pills for this auction, he naturally wanted to bid as low as possible and still have a chance at getting more later on.

Finally, Lin Shiming made his move in the fifth batch and spent 150,000 Spirit Stones to procure two Foundation Establishment Pills.

He still had over a hundred thousand Spirit Stones left, but he didn't continue to bid.

This time, the Seventh Great-Uncle wasn't present, and buying any more could have led to immediate problems.

After all, there would never be a shortage of loose cultivators who take risks, especially when the price of Foundation Establishment Pills had already surpassed that of an average third-rank inferior-grade magical treasure.

Lin Shiming also didn't participate in the final magical treasure auction and decided to leave early, just like his father had done before. Back then, had it not been for his father's timely departure, the Li Family would have held him back, and without Xie An's intervention, he might not have been able to return to Fangmu Mountain alive.

Accompanied by Lin Houwei and others, Lin Shiming left the auction house, but just then, he felt the Jade Talisman in his Storage Bag suddenly light up.

"Fellow Daoist, the opportunity has arrived, at the west city gate!"

This Jade Talisman was from the small-bearded cultivator who had sold the Golden Thunder Bamboo's Spirit Root, who chose an inferior-grade magical treasure and left.

He had even asked at the time if Lin Shiming was a wood attribute cultivator, offering to present him with an opportunity.

Lin Shiming really hadn't expected that the small-bearded cultivator would indeed have an opportunity for him.

Glancing at the talisman, Lin Shiming headed straight for the East City Gate.

He had already sealed the Jade Talisman with a spell using a Jade Box.

...

Meanwhile, at the West City Gate, there was a small pavilion.

The small-bearded cultivator entered the pavilion, and in the next moment, strangely enough, three or four cultivators suddenly appeared inside.

Two of them were Foundation Establishment cultivators, and one was a young Qi Cultivator at the late stage.

The leader was an old man in blue robes who couldn't help but look toward the small-bearded cultivator:

"So, has he taken the bait?"

"I've sent the message. If all goes well, he'll be here soon!" The small-bearded cultivator confidently nodded.

The group was instantly delighted. The individual in question was an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator from a remote region like Yunzhou.

More importantly, he was in possession of a third-rank intermediate-grade magical treasure as well as a third-rank inferior-grade one, which were publicly offered for trade. Who knew how many other valuable items were in his storage bag.

Moreover, having attended the Qingxuan Auction, he might even have Foundation Establishment Pills.

Thinking of this, the group chuckled lightly among themselves.

They had killed many young Foundation Establishment cultivators like him, who were richer than many of the older generation cultivators, yielding great rewards every time.

They had acquired the Golden Thunder Bamboo Spirit Root from the hands of a young early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"Hurry up and kill him, we still have to wait for the Yellow Rank Secret Realm to open!" An impatient middle-aged cultivator with large ears beside the blue-robed elder chimed in.

However, the next moment, the small-bearded cultivator's face suddenly changed drastically.

"He's gone silent!"

"What are you good for!" The blue-robed elder was instantly furious!

"Patriarch, please calm your anger, I still have one more method!" the small-bearded cultivator pleaded, smiling apologetically as he spoke.

He then produced a device that resembled a spirit dish, and after a short while, the spirit dish shone brightly with Spirit Light.

Clearly, he was sending a message.

Soon the small-bearded cultivator also spoke with elation:

"Patriarch, that fat sheep has gone to the East City Gate!"

"Then what are you waiting for, pursue him!" The blue-robed elder waved his hand, and the next moment, a third-rank Spirit Boat appeared, and the four of them boarded the boat, chasing after their mark towards the East City Gate.
