I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates-Chapter 849 - 847: Gathering of True Persons

The treasures put up for auction were mainly fifth-grade items, with a few rare sixth-grade items serving as the grand finale.

The types were mainly various high-rank spirit plants and spirit medicines that had been cultivated, as well as some rewards that came from the light clusters.

Taking out so many high-rank treasures all at once, Lu Xuan felt not the slightest worry in his heart.

Currently, he was openly at the mid-term of the Nascent Soul stage and served as a guest elder of the Sea Tower Chamber of Commerce, with his spirit plant level being famous throughout the whole Liyang Region. It was perfectly reasonable for him to possess some high-rank treasures.

As for the slight risk that might come after exposing his assets and strengths, that was even less of a concern to him.

The treasures he brought out were just the tip of the iceberg. The higher-grade and rarer ones were all in his own hands, and with his current strength, he could afford to take on anyone below the Nascent Soul level.

Time passed, and soon the appointed day of the auction arrived.

Lu Xuan arrived early at a grocery store.

The entrance of the store had been extravagantly decorated and looked extremely luxurious.

Wen Qian, with an excited look on his face, stood at the doorway. Upon seeing Lu Xuan, he dashed over in one quick stride.

"Senior Lu, you’ve arrived!"

He said respectfully as he greeted him.

Today’s auction was organized and hosted by him. The opportunity to be part of such a grand event attended by numerous Golden Core Real People filled his heart with excitement.

"Is everything ready?"

Lu Xuan asked softly.

"All is prepared; we’re just awaiting the arrival of the Senior Core Formation cultivators."

Wen Qian walked a step behind Lu Xuan and spoke with his head lowered.

"Good."

Lu Xuan nodded in approval.

"Greetings to you, Senior Lu!"

As soon as he entered the store’s main gate, the familiar voice of Hong Qinghai reached Lu Xuan’s ears.

The auction was of great importance, so Hong Qinghai, who had been cultivating in the Thunder Fire Star Cave abode, had been sent by Lu Xuan to help Wen Qian with some miscellaneous tasks.

Lu Xuan smiled and nodded as he entered a refined room and carefully examined the many treasures in the storage bag that were about to be auctioned.

After more than half a time system passed, the Wood Daoren, who was closest to the store, was the first to arrive.

"Friend Lu, I came today to join in the fun. I hope the treasures up for auction won’t disappoint me."

The tall elder said with a smile.

He was obsessed with collecting all sorts of rare treasure items and had even specially made a space artifact that somewhat resembled the Treasure Tower.

Lu Xuan had once obtained two rare sixth-grade spirit seeds, Skeleton Demon Lookout and Double-pupil Flower, from him.

Invited by Lu Xuan this time, although he didn’t have high expectations, his shared interest with Lu Xuan brought him over to add to the numbers.

"Taoist friend Mu, I assure you won’t be disappointed. There are indeed a few items inside which I consider treasured existences."

Lu Xuan said with a smile.

After inviting Wood Daoren into a small hall for the auction, he continued to welcome the many Golden Core Real People coming to participate in the auction.

As this auction was relatively private, those who came were all acquaintances of Lu Xuan, varying only in the degree of their relationship.

"Fellow Yu Lin, Wang Fellow Daoist, welcome."

In the distance, Hermit Yu Lin, who was also a Spirit Plant Master, and Wang Suihuai, who was skilled in beast taming, arrived side by side.

Lu Xuan hurriedly went out to meet them, a warm smile on his face.

"Friend Lu, I have long admired your mastery in cultivating spirit plants. Today, I would like to acquire two spirit plants personally cultivated by you, to see what mysteries they hold and whether I can comprehend anything from them," said Hermit Yu Lin with a light laugh.

"Fellow Yu Lin flatters me. After the auction ends, we can have a good discussion about the experience of cultivating spirit plants," Lu Xuan said, smiling as he invited them into the small hall.

One after another, Golden Core Real People arrived as promised, Ye Xuanyin, Lei Zheng who entered the Thunder Sea Medicine Garden with him, Liang Yong whom he met at the Hundred Flowers Feast...

"Junior Brother Lu, I’m here to support you," said Shen Ye with a sword box strapped to his back, approaching Lu Xuan.

"Welcome, Senior Brother. If there’s anything you’re interested in, just let me know, and I can give you a private discount later," whispered Lu Xuan as he looked around.

He led Shen Ye into the small hall and took the opportunity to introduce him to the many Golden Core Real People already waiting inside.

"Friend Lu, congratulations, I hope your auction goes smoothly!" said Qi Wuheng, the Thunderfire Star Cave Envoy, as he entered the grocery store with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, Fellow Qi. Please, this way," Lu Xuan said as he led Qi Wuheng into the small hall.

A slight stir arose among the many cultivators in the small hall upon seeing Qi Wuheng.

"Friend Lu, I hope Zhang is not too late," said Zhang Jiuzong with a smile as he approached Lu Xuan, followed by a tall, slender youth with deep-set eyes and a paper fan decorated with strange beasts in his hand, who looked at Lu Xuan with a friendly face.

"Let me introduce you to two people, this is Lu Xuan, a master in the path of spiritual plants."

"And this is Fellow Ding Qingwen, who usually stays in the Outer Domains, expanding territories for the Commerce Association. He happens to be in the Liyang Region recently and I pulled him over to join the fun," Zhang Jiuzong introduced.

"Nice to meet you, Fellow Ding. Welcome to attend this modest auction held by Lu," greeted Lu Xuan with a bow.

"Friend Lu, I’ve long admired your reputation," said the tall, slender youth with a smile.

Soon, all the cultivators arrived.

Nearly thirty Golden Core Real People sat in the small hall, most at the "Early Core Formation stage," with seven or eight of them in the middle or even later stages of cultivation.

At that moment, cultivators were tasting the Spirit Fruit Spirit Brew brought by Wen Qian and Hong Qinghai, with several types of fourth-grade Spirit Brew leaving a profound impression.

Some even specifically asked Wen Qian to reserve a few bottles for them to purchase after the auction, fearing there wouldn’t be enough left.

Lu Xuan stood on a makeshift wooden platform, looking down at the many Jindan Cultivators below, filled with soaring spirits.

"Welcome, Fellow Daoists, to this private auction held by Lu. I truly hope everyone can acquire the treasured items they desire."

"The treasures appearing at this auction are not numerous, but the lowest rank among them is fifth grade, which includes many types extremely rare and scarce in the Cultivation World."

"Let me briefly introduce the rules of the auction," Lu Xuan said.

"I’ll put the ugly words first: no forcing buys or sells. Although Lu is merely a Spirit Plant Master who is not adept at fighting through cultivation techniques, I am still a Guest Elder of the Commerce Association, and the auction is held here in the Star Plucking Building. Please give respect to the Heavenly Star Cave and the Sea Tower Commerce Association."

Lu Xuan spoke with a smile, and his words elicited light laughter from the audience.

"The main method of auction is purchasing with Spirit Stones, with the highest bidder winning, though trading with treasures is not excluded."

"However, one condition applies: it is limited to High Rank Rare Spirit Seeds."

"Preferably Sixth Grade Spirit Seeds, but if there are rare Fifth Grade Spirit Seeds that catch my eye, I will also consider them."

"Enough talk, let’s begin the auction."

"The first treasure item up for auction is known as the Vajra Bodhi, a Fifth Rank treasure, and it is a rare Spirit Fruit closely connected with the Buddhist Gate."

A golden Bodhi appeared in Lu Xuan’s hand.

The Bodhi’s surface was covered in layers of golden patterns, emitting a faint golden glow. Within the radiance, one could vaguely perceive the phantom image of an angry Vajra.

"The Vajra Bodhi, once consumed, can greatly enhance the strength of the Flesh Body and invigorate vitality, dispelling evil with just a gesture. It also accelerates the practice speed of Buddhist Cultivation Techniques and Divine Skills."

"The starting bid is twenty thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones, and each bid must be at least one thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones higher."

"The bidding starts now!"
