Family Cultivation: I can see the prompts

56: Anyway, I picked it upAs He Xuan clapped his hands again, ten female Cultivators, each holding a tray, walked up.

Each female Cultivator’s tray held only a pure white mutton-fat jade medicine bottle. The jade bottle was somewhat translucent, and golden pills inside could be faintly seen.

He Xuan took one of the medicine bottles, uncorked it, and immediately a pure Spiritual Qi surged out.

Countless Cultivators’ Divine Sense also attached to it.

Lin Shiming was also experiencing a Foundation Establishment Pill with his Divine Sense for the first time; it possessed an incomparably pure and vast Spiritual Qi, accompanied by a hint of cool chill.

After a while, He Xuan tightly capped the medicine bottle, placed it back on the tray, and spoke again:

“Fellow Daoists, I regret to inform you of some news.”

“This year, the Qingxuan Sect’s Yellow Grade Secret Realm experienced a mishap, and the harvest of illusory heart grass was not good. Therefore, the quota for Foundation Establishment Pills over the next ten years has been greatly reduced compared to previous years!”

“This time, there are only thirty Foundation Establishment Pills available for Auction!”

As He Xuan finished speaking, the Loose Cultivators below immediately began to discuss amongst themselves.

Ten years ago, there were a full one hundred Foundation Establishment Pills!

Now, there wasn’t even one-third of that amount.

Especially some Peak Qi Cultivator Loose Cultivators and Qi Cultivator Families, they were even more critical, discussing most fiercely.

The Lin Family also felt a surge of lingering fear, especially Lin Shiming. He thought that if they had clashed with the Huang Family just now, this trip for Foundation Establishment Pills would surely have been disastrous, as they had only prepared 130,000 Spirit Stones this time.

Even if the Lin Family’s Clan Leader and Elders advanced Spirit Stones, it would probably only amount to 160,000 or 170,000 Spirit Stones.

If they had used up Spirit Stones in the previous Auction, they would probably only be able to stare blankly now.

That Huang Yunqi from the Huang Family, it must be said, had excellent acting skills!

“Silence!” He Xuan shouted again, suppressing the scene once more.

“Although there are only thirty Foundation Establishment Pills, this time the quota for Foundation Establishment Families and Loose Cultivators will be relatively increased, with ten Foundation Establishment Pills, while Purple Mansion Families competing for Foundation Establishment Pill quotas will decrease to twenty Foundation Establishment Pills!”

“Furthermore, as you may have noticed, the treasures auctioned earlier were far superior to those at the last grand event, and among the finale Auction items this time, there is a Tier 4 spirit boat Magic Treasure!”

As He Xuan’s words spread, although many Cultivators still harbored some complaints, they did not continue to discuss.

The Purple Mansion Families on the second floor, however, showed little reaction, as if they had known all along.

At this moment, the most worried person was Lin Shiming’s father, Lin Houyuan.

Currently, Lin Houyuan had the highest Family contribution points, and his son Lin Shiming also performed extremely well, so the purchase of a Foundation Establishment Pill would naturally be for Lin Houyuan’s use.

To compete for ten Foundation Establishment Pills against nearly a hundred Foundation Establishment Families and Qi Cultivator Loose Cultivators from Yunzhou and Qingzhou, one can imagine the difficulty.

Of course, it wasn’t just Lin Houyuan frowning at this moment; Lin Xianzhi was also troubled by the appearance of the Magic Treasure spirit boat.

This was not good news. A Tier 4 Magic Treasure spirit boat also had another name: war treasure ship.

Over there, He Xuan also began the Foundation Establishment Pill Auction:

“Without further ado, the first batch of Foundation Establishment Pills, ten pills will be auctioned separately. Each Foundation Establishment Pill has a starting price of 50,000, and each bid increment must be no less than 1,000!”

As He Xuan’s words fell, some Cultivators who had been meditating with closed eyes all became active.

Especially those Cultivators wearing spirit-blocking veils, who were mostly Loose Cultivators or Cultivators with insufficient strength.

Fearing that they would be killed and have their treasures stolen after buying Foundation Establishment Pills, they had been waiting for an opportunity.

“91,000 Spirit Stones!”

“93,000 Spirit Stones!”

... The starting price of the Foundation Establishment Pill was almost double, starting from 90,000 Spirit Stones, showing how red-eyed those Peak Qi Cultivator Cultivators were.

And it should be known that at the grand event ten years ago, the starting price of a Foundation Establishment Pill was only 30,000 Spirit Stones, with a final transaction price of around 100,000 Spirit Stones.

An opportunity that comes once every ten years, and for these Loose Cultivators, it was almost their only chance in a lifetime.

Without a Foundation Establishment Pill, forcefully establishing Foundation Establishment meant nine deaths out of ten!

Before this Dao, the Face of any Foundation Establishment Family was completely disregarded.

The bidding ultimately reached 138,000 Spirit Stones!

The Lin Family bid once, but the Huang Family also suppressed the price, so they did not continue to bid.

It was acquired by a Foundation Establishment Family from Qingzhou, which also had shops in Qingxuan City, making them extremely wealthy and influential.

“The second Foundation Establishment Pill, bidding starts again at 50,000!” He Xuan announced once more.

The Loose Cultivators and various Families, with reddened eyes and stiff necks, once again bid frantically.

It was originally thought that the second pill would be a bit calmer, but the bidding immediately reached 150,000 Spirit Stones, and it was also acquired by a Family Cultivator from Qingzhou.

As for the Family Cultivators from Yunzhou, they became mere spectators.

“Take the next one!” Lin Xianzhi immediately stopped hesitating and made a decision, not wanting to delay any further.

Those red-eyed Loose Cultivators would surely bid sky-high prices. Previously, with thirty pills, it was fine; with 100,000 Spirit Stones, one could somehow acquire one, only needing to worry about how to safely bring the Foundation Establishment Pill back.

Now, with only ten pills, the price was clearly getting higher and higher!

“130,000 Spirit Stones!” As the third pill began to be auctioned, Lin Xianzhi directly offered the highest price the Lin Family had prepared!

In an instant, it immediately stunned many people. However, the old man Huang Yunqi from the neighboring Huang Family also suddenly stood up, swept his gaze over Lin Xianzhi, and then directly made an offer.

“131,000 Spirit Stones!”

After shouting the price, he didn’t forget to glance at Lin Xianzhi again.

It was a pity that Lin Xianzhi completely ignored this intentionally humiliating glance.

“150,000 Spirit Stones!”

“151,000 Spirit Stones!” Huang Yunqi again only added 1,000 Spirit Stones.

“180,000!”

“Good, congratulations!” Huang Yunqi did not continue to bid.

At this moment, the Lin Family also shouted out the highest price for a Foundation Establishment Pill, immediately causing a sensation throughout the venue.

“Fellow Daoist He, I only have 130,000 Spirit Stones. I will also Auction and mortgage three Tier 3 Foundation Establishment Magical Artifacts!”

Saying that, Lin Xianzhi waved his Storage Pouch, and three Foundation Establishment Magical Artifacts immediately flew towards He Xuan.

As the Magical Artifacts appeared, Huang Yunqi’s body trembled violently again, his eyes fixed on Lin Xianzhi, wishing he could immediately tear Lin Xianzhi into ten thousand pieces!

Those three Tier 3 Magical Artifacts were precisely the Magical Artifacts left behind by the two Foundation Establishment Cultivators of the Huang Family.

Now, being openly sold by Lin Xianzhi, it was more than just losing Face; this was completely disregarding the Huang Family.

“Fellow Daoist, these three Tier 3 Magical Artifacts are unremarkable. Their normal price is around 80,000 Spirit Stones, but as collateral, they can only be mortgaged for 64,000 Spirit Stones!” He Xuan ignored Huang Yunqi.

Of course, if Huang Yunqi didn’t know what was good for him, He Xuan wouldn’t mind making an example of him!

“Alright, it’s good if they can be mortgaged for 50,000 Spirit Stones, since they were picked up anyway!” Lin Xianzhi spoke again, almost making Huang Yunqi spit out a mouthful of old blood.

Lin Xianzhi handed the remaining 116,000 Spirit Stones to He Xuan, then took the Foundation Establishment Pill and walked out.

The Lin Family naturally would not continue to participate in the remaining Auction. They also could not compete for Purple Mansion Magic Treasures or Purple Mansion Spirit Pills and miraculous medicines.

And almost at the same time the Lin Family left, many Cultivators also secretly left the venue, including most of the Huang Family Cultivators.

And the rooms on the second floor...
