After suppressing everyone’s voices, Fei Cai explained unhurriedly.
“According to the auction item owner’s request, this item is not to be auctioned with spirit stones. Only those who satisfy the requirements set by the owner have the qualifications to compete for this item.”
“The first requirement set by the owner is that the bidder’s force must have an expert at the origin core realm or above!”
“wal”
As soon as these words were said, the hall immediately exploded into a commotion.
Originally, many people thought that if they didn’t bid with spirit stones, they might even have the qualifications to compete with those big shots in the private rooms on the second floor.
Now, they knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
The first requirement set by the owner of the auction item directly extinguished most people’s thoughts of fighting for it!
After all, there were only a handful of forces in Fusheng City that had origin core realm experts.
Of course, although everyone was a little disappointed and sighed, they weren’t too dissatisfied.
In the cultivation world, the strong were always respected. They didn’t have such strength. Even if they really obtained this high-grade spirit stone, it might only bring them trouble.
Most of the people lost the qualification to bid, and they switched back to the mentality of watching a show.
“Why do you think the owner of this item set the threshold at the origin core realm?”
“Maybe, the owner of this auction item hasn’t reached the origin core realm yet, so he wants to meet an origin core realm expert through this auction?”
“That makes sense, but an origin core realm expert might not be able to absorb the spiritual energy contained in this high-grade spirit stone. Do you think an origin core realm expert will bid?”
“Nonsense, don’t you know what it means to hoard rare goods? An origin core realm expert can’t absorb the spiritual energy contained in a high-grade spirit stone now. It doesn’t mean that they won’t be able to break through to the nascent soul realm in the future, right? They could also gift the spirit
stone to some nascent soul realm seniors to form a good relationship with them, right?”
“That’s right. In short, this high-grade spirit stone will definitely attract all the origin core realm experts in Fusheng City to rush to it like a flock of ducks and fight for it like crazy!”
Inside Room 2.
After listening to everyone’s discussion, Xue Ying couldn’t help but smile smugly.
He thought to himself, “This should be the case!”
“How could a high-grade spirit stone be a treasure that ants like you can covet?”
“This way, it would save me a lot of trouble. Now, I’ll only need to focus on dealing with those people from the Golden Door Sect.”
Xue Ying’s brows suddenly raised as he looked solemnly at Room 12.
Although the Golden Door Sect was the Blood Fang Gang’s main enemy, they still had to guard against that mysterious guy in Room 12!
However, after losing to him once, he would not lose a second time!
Xue Ying suddenly stood up and said in a clear voice, “Miss Fei Cai, I wonder if my Blood Fang Gang has the qualifications to participate in the bidding?”
“Since it’s the Blood Fang Gang, you naturally have the qualifications.” Fei Cai smiled and nodded as she replied.
“Then our Golden Door Sect should also have the qualifications to bid, right?”
Feng Dan’s crisp and melodious voice, which was loud and clear, was also heard from Room 3.
“The Golden Door Sect naturally has the qualifications as well.” Fei Cai also answered repeatedly.
Following that, a few more forces had passed the verification and had the qualifications to bid.
Although these forces couldn’t compare to the three major ones, they could still be considered as the top forces in Fusheng City. And all of them had origin core realm experts overseeing it.
However, whether it was in terms of manpower, financial resources, or foundation, these forces were far inferior to the three major ones. Naturally, their reputation couldn’t be compared to them as well.
Fei Cai continued to speak unhurriedly, “After being verified, a total of seven forces have attended this auction. They are qualified to compete for this auction item. They are the Blood Fang Gang, Golden Door Sect, Astrology Union…”
The people in the hall on the first floor were not surprised to hear the names of these forces.
These forces were well-deserved ceilings in the cultivation world of Fusheng City.
Among the three major forces, only the Open City Sect did not attend this auction.
However, everyone had expected it. After all, the Open City Sect had been silent in recent years, so much so that the Open City Sect’s shadow was rarely seen in Fusheng City.
Although no one knew the reason, not many people talked about it.
This force, just like its name, was the oldest faction in the entire Fusheng City. It also made great contributions towards Fusheng City’s establishment.
Therefore, no one wanted to talk about this force too much.
Fei Cai paused and continued, “Next, I’ll talk about the specific auction method.”
“As everyone knows, there are two cities in Fusheng City. Each city has twenty-four subdivisions, and they belong to different forces.”
“The owner of this auction item said that if anyone could take out the Light Carriage Workshop and the Superior Jade Workshop of Western City and hand them over to the owner of the auction item and help him manage these two marketplaces for three years, to prevent anyone from causing trouble,
they would be able to obtain this auction item.”
Before she could finish her words, the entire auction venue instantly erupted into a commotion.
“Damn, what kind of strange auction method is this? I’ve never heard of it before!”
“Don’t say that you’ve never heard of it. I don’t think even Miss Fei Cai has heard it before, right?”
“Light Carriage Workshop, Superior Jade Workshop… if I remember correctly, they all belong to the Fang family, right?”
“That’s right, they belong to the Fang family. This Superior Jade Workshop was originally the territory of the Sky Wolf Sect, but a few months ago, the Fang family acted forcefully and annexed the Superior Jade Workshop. Therefore, the Light Carriage Workshop and the Superior Jade Workshop now
belong to the Fang family.”
“The Fang family owns two workshops, and their power is growing. I heard that they are preparing to attack the first-rate forces!”
“So, the Light Carriage Workshop and the Superior Jade Workshop are the Fang family’s lifeblood. Do you think the owner of this high-grade spirit stone has a grudge with the Fang family, so he deliberately made such an auction request?”
“I think the possibility is very high!”
Without a doubt, the person who took out this auction item was Qiu Chi.
Ever since he obtained this high-grade spirit stone from Jiang Ping yesterday, he had been thinking about how he could take revenge on the Fang family.
At first, he had thought that it would be better to directly use this spirit stone to bribe an origin core realm expert and help him directly destroy the Fang family.
However, this method was too risky. If he rashly approached an origin core realm expert, perhaps after hearing his intentions, he would directly take action to subdue him and then interrogate him about the whereabouts of the spirit stone.
Moreover, he wouldn’t be happy even if he destroyed the Fang family using somebody else.
As for exchanging this high-grade spirit stone for a low-grade spirit stone, recruiting troops and buying horses wouldn’t work either.
Because he showed up yesterday to teach Fang Hui a lesson, now the people of the Fang family definitely knew that he had returned, and they might be looking for him all over the streets!
In the end, he chose the Hundred Treasures House.
Using territory to exchange for spirit stones was essentially a barter, and it didn’t count as breaking the Hundred Treasures House’s rules.
So, Fei Cai thought about it and agreed..
