Chapter 295: Auction List
Thinking about this, Wu Laoda immediately felt much more relaxed.
Looking around at the other cultivators whose realms were similar to his, a proud expression involuntarily appeared on his face.
The spiritual stones on him did not allow him to be low-key!
"I’ll go meet with the other elders."
After entering the private box, Elder Guan spoke to Ji Yang and Ren Yuning.
"Uncle Guan, you don’t need to mind us!"
After Elder Guan left, Ren Yuning also curiously looked around.
As an upper-class box for the auction, the interior was decorated very luxuriously.
There were genuine leather seats, spiritual fruits, and spirit tea on the table! Incense wafted from a corner!
Not only was the space quite large, but right in front of them was also a screen formed by formations.
From the screen, they could clearly see the scene in the outer hall and at the center of the auction, and they could even control the nearby Array Flags to enlarge or shrink the screen for bidding and other functions!
Moreover, there was also a detailed list of items for the upcoming auction on the table!
This list could only be obtained by high-level cultivators.
The cultivators in the hall did not have such treatment; most only knew that there were items for the auction that they needed.
Some were just hoping for a stroke of luck.
While Ren Yuning was studying the formations on the screen, Ji Yang took the auction list and looked closely at it.
The scale of this auction was quite large, and the items to be auctioned were also very precious and varied.
On the list, Ji Yang quickly found what he needed, including unprocessed supreme spiritual grains and quite a few high-level spiritual plant seeds.
However, compared to high-level spiritual plants, high-level spiritual plant seeds seemed a bit lacking.
After all, seeds still needed to be cultivated, and it could take decades or even hundreds of years for them to grow into spiritual plants. Outside of certain families or sects, scattered cultivators rarely auctioned spiritual plant seeds.
Additionally, in terms of price, they were also much cheaper than high-level spiritual plants.
Yet this was good news for Ji Yang as it meant less competition in purchasing the spiritual plant seeds.
Moreover, he preferred seeds over spiritual plants.
Even though he had now learned the art of alchemy, he still needed high-level spiritual plants for alchemy.
Compared to seeds, Ji Yang still favored the former for their stability.
Of course, if he had enough spiritual stones, he wouldn’t mind buying high-level spiritual plants as well.
However, given his current status, it wasn’t appropriate for him to take action.
On the last two pages of the auction list, Ji Yang also saw seeds of top-tier spiritual plants.
Although they were just seeds, they were for top-tier spiritual plants, whose value far exceeded that of high-level spiritual plants.
Purchasing such items would definitely cost a significant amount of spiritual stones.
In Ji Yang’s opinion, being able to purchase the earlier high-level spiritual plant seeds would be satisfactory. As for the final top-tier spiritual plant seeds, it would be more practical to return to the sect after the auction and think of a way to transplant a few top-tier spiritual plants from the He Dao Sect’s spiritual herb garden to his Jingtan Peak.
After glancing through the list, Ji Yang turned his attention to the screen in front of him.
He scanned the crowd, trying to find Wu Laoda’s figure.
Although he still had quite a few top-quality spiritual grains left, it was not wise for him to act personally. He needed Wu Laoda to help him purchase what he needed at this auction, so Ji Yang wanted to see if Wu Laoda had arrived.
Ji Yang first looked around the hall through the screen, hoping to spot Wu Laoda.
However, after taking a round, Ji Yang found nothing.
This made Ji Yang furrow his brows slightly. Could it be that Wu Laoda hadn’t come?
Ji Yang focused intently and continued to survey the crowd. Soon, he saw Wu Laoda seated right in the center of the hall.
Looking at Wu Laoda’s face and the prominent position he occupied, Ji Yang was momentarily taken aback.
He found it hard to believe that someone as cautious as Wu Laoda had not disguised himself and was sitting in such a conspicuous spot.
However, Ji Yang didn’t dwell on it; perhaps Wu Laoda had his own plan.
In any case, as long as he successfully obtained what he needed, Ji Yang didn’t care about anything else.
"Feng Yu, what are you looking at?"
At that moment, Ren Yuning noticed Ji Yang’s gaze locked on the screen and curiously asked.
Ji Yang smiled and replied,
"It’s my first time seeing such a spectacular scene. I hope I’m not embarrassing you, Senior Sister Ning."
Just as the two were chatting, the door to the private box opened again, and Elder Guan slowly walked in.
Besides Elder Guan, there was another figure following him, which caught Ji Yang’s attention involuntarily!
It was a middle-aged female cultivator with lingering charm, wearing the Elder’s robe of the Heaven Demon Sect. Her aura was no less than that of Elder Guan, and she even seemed to surpass him slightly, giving Ji Yang a very dangerous feeling.
Elder Guan was already at the late Void Refinement stage, and this woman was likely at the Unity with the Dao stage!
This discovery made Ji Yang’s thoughts sharpen, and he became a bit more cautious.
Upon seeing the woman, Ren Yuning happily exclaimed,
"Uncle Qu, what brings you here!"
"The Sect Master was worried about you and sent me to check on you."
Hearing this, the joy faded from Ren Yuning’s face, and she pretended to be pitiful, saying,
"You’re not taking me back, are you, Uncle Qu?"
The middle-aged female cultivator nodded,
"You’re right, I am indeed here to take you back, but first, I must set up formations to capture that Ji Yang!"
Ren Yuning was extremely delighted,
"Uncle Qu is a master of formations! With your help, we’ll surely catch that Ji Yang!"
"There’s no hurry; I’ll set up the formation to capture him after the auction ends," she replied.
Although Ji Yang could tell that their relationship was unusual, learning that this woman was here to capture him left him speechless.
A master of formations? It seemed that the Heaven’s Secret Great Formation Ren Yuning mentioned was indeed arranged by this person.
"This must be Young Friend Feng Yu, right? I hear your alchemy talent is quite impressive; I would love to witness it!" Elder Guan explained.
"Aside from being proficient in formations, Uncle Qu also has considerable insight into alchemy!"
After hearing this, Ji Yang clasped his hands and said,
"I’m flattered, Elder Qu. I just have a small talent, nothing impressive!"
Uncle Qu didn’t say much and merely nodded with a smile.
Being brought into the private box by Elder Guan clearly indicated that Ji Yang’s alchemy talent must be quite good.
At this moment, Elder Guan also spoke,
"The auction is about to begin, so let’s discuss this after it’s over."
The four of them took their seats in the private box. Although the space was large, Ji Yang felt a bit uneasy inside.
Thankfully, Uncle Qu had not seen through his disguise; otherwise, he would be in trouble today.
As they turned their attention to the screen, the auction quickly commenced.
The auction was hosted by a Nascent Soul Stage steward from the Heaven Demon Sect.
Logically speaking, for such a large auction, the host’s realm should be higher; a Nascent Soul level seemed a bit lacking, especially since there were many high-level cultivators in the private boxes.
However, no one in attendance mentioned this, for the steward represented the enormous power of the Heaven Demon Sect!
