Cultivation Starts from Farming

"Friends who cultivate Fire Attribute techniques, do not miss this opportunity." Lin Guang's voice resonated in the auction hall, stirring the crowd's anticipation.

"Starting bid is one hundred and fifty Spirit Stones, each increment must not be less than ten Spirit Stones."

Cultivators in the late Qi Refining Realm in the hall, their eyes gleaming: "Mid-grade Magical Artifact! A set of Magical Artifacts!"

"I bid one hundred and sixty!"

"One hundred and seventy!"

The bidding voices came one after another, echoing from all corners of the venue.

Xu Ping sat silently in the last row, his face calm, holding an Upper Grade Magic Sword.

Mid-grade Magical Artifacts are of little help to him, even if they are high-quality ones.

In the end, this set of high-quality mid-grade Magical Artifacts was claimed by a late-stage Qi Cultivator for two hundred and sixty Spirit Stones.

"Next, please welcome the second auction item."

Lin Guang waved his hand, the maiden holding the Flaming Mother-Son Sword retreated, and another beautiful maiden walked up carrying a jade tray.

"A Beauty Pill."

"I presume everyone has heard of the renowned Beauty Pill, yes, it may not preserve youth forever, but it can greatly slow the aging of appearance, maintaining a youthful and beautiful look."

"Whether for personal use or as a gift for a cherished female cultivator, it is definitely worth the value."

"Beauty Pill starts at two hundred Spirit Stones, each increment must not be less than twenty Spirit Stones!"

Lin Guang eagerly stirred the cultivators' emotions, he shouted loudly.

"Two hundred and twenty Spirit Stones!"

"Two hundred and forty Spirit Stones!"

As soon as the words were spoken, excited women's voices rose incessantly from the hall, and even several private rooms on the second floor joined in.

This Beauty Pill, although not enhancing Mana, can greatly delay the aging of appearance, is one of the most coveted Pills for female cultivators.

But this Beauty Pill, with its precious materials, though only a First Rank Pill, requires Second-stage Spirit Medicine as the main ingredient, and is difficult to concoct, thus its price is steep, beyond what most Qi Refinement female cultivators can afford.

Amidst the successive bidding voices, the price of the Beauty Pill quickly surpassed the four hundred mark.

Realize that the Beauty Pill doesn't increase Mana nor enhance cultivation, it merely delays aging of appearance, truly surprising why these female cultivators are so frenzied.

Xu Ping watched this scene, feeling somewhat speechless.

In the end, this Beauty Pill was auctioned at four hundred and eighty Spirit Stones in a second-floor private room.

As the auction continued, one treasured item after another was claimed at high prices, the atmosphere at the venue gradually becoming lively.

Xu Ping came this time mainly for the Profound Celestial Trapping Array, adhering to a principle of low profile, even when encountering items that intrigued him, he chose not to bid.

However, the successive treasures at the auction opened his eyes, the wealth of some cultivators indeed left him astonished.

Finally, when it came to the sixteenth auction item, it was the turn of the Profound Celestial Trapping Array.

"Profound Celestial Trapping Array, Second-stage Lower Grade Array, mainly for trapping, mainly for locking, even if a Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator is trapped, they cannot break the Array easily."

"Moreover, it is easy to operate, activating with Mid-grade Spirit Stones."

"Alright, less talk, the starting bid is one thousand five hundred Spirit Stones, each increment must not be less than thirty Spirit Stones!"

Lin Guang, looking excited, announced loudly.

"One thousand five hundred and fifty Spirit Stones."

The words fell, and immediately a long-haired cultivator in a blue robe loudly bid, directly adding fifty Spirit Stones.

"One thousand five hundred and eighty Spirit Stones"

"One thousand six hundred and thirty Spirit Stones"

Xu Ping, seeing it was finally the turn of the Profound Celestial Trapping Array, perked up and sat up straight, but was not eager to bid.

"One thousand six hundred and seventy Spirit Stones"

"One thousand six hundred and eighty Spirit Stones"

The bidding for the Profound Celestial Trapping Array rose continuously, but as the price neared two thousand Spirit Stones, the bidding voices rapidly decreased.

Only two people were left competing, both from the second-floor private rooms.

At this point, the price was already very high, enough to buy two average Upper Grade Magical Artifacts.

Yet, the two competing in the private rooms showed no signs of urgency.

Still calmly raising the bids.

"Two thousand three hundred Spirit Stones."

It was then that Xu Ping's voice emerged with a bid, immediately raising the price by one hundred Spirit Stones, his voice calm yet resolute.

Wearing a bamboo hat and black veil, with Bone Shaping Skill silently working in his body, showing no Spiritual Power fluctuation, making it hard to gauge depth.

"Interesting, two thousand three hundred and fifty Spirit Stones." came an elderly voice from the private room.

At this moment, the other private room competing fell silent, evidently giving up.

"Two thousand four hundred and fifty Spirit Stones!"

Xu Ping remained unfazed, aggressively raising the bid, clearly determined to win.

For a moment, many in the hall were uncertain and puzzled, unable to ascertain Xu Ping's identity.

A Qi Cultivator daring to bid against a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

"Old Li, don't lose to a Qi Cultivator," jested a voice from another private room, obviously acquainted with the person in the opposing room.

"Hmph, two thousand five hundred Spirit Stones..." The elderly voice now carried a hint of anger.

"Two thousand six hundred Spirit Stones!"

Xu Ping spared no mercy, imposing and forceful, adding directly one hundred Spirit Stones, demonstrating his resolve to succeed.

"Excellent!"

Inside the room, an old man with a youthful face showed traces of anger. Pressured by a youngling in the Qi Refining Realm, his face indeed felt embarrassed.

Especially since there were acquaintances in the other rooms!

If not for being in Immortal City, he would really want to test this youngling's weight.

At this moment, the steady middle-aged man behind him saw the elder seemed wanting to continue bidding, quickly stepped forward to advise: "Elder, it's not worthwhile for the Profound Celestial Trapping Array, we need to reserve Spirit Stones for that other item."

"Nonsense! I've lived long enough to be over impulsive actions, just some face." The old man's face returned to calm.

Back when he was young and hot-blooded, he might act recklessly, but that youthful passion had long been spent.

Seeing no response from the room, Lin Guang's face lit up, with a smile, he asked: "Anyone else wants to bid? Second-stage Array, a rare find indeed!"

Two thousand six hundred Spirit Stones, it was beyond market price.

With no answer after calling three times, he smiled: "Congratulations to this friend for acquiring the Profound Celestial Trapping Array, you may proceed to the side hall for settlement."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ping felt fully relieved internally.

His pressure was actually significant, not as calm as it appeared on the surface.

For the Profound Celestial Trapping Array antagonizing Foundation Establishment Cultivators, if outside Immortal City, he would certainly weigh the consequences, but in the city, even a Foundation Establishment Cultivator dare not act overly presumptuously.

Xu Ping rose to head to the side hall, paid the Spirit Stones, and acquired the Profound Celestial Trapping Array Plate, fulfilling his purpose for coming here, alas unable to leave midway, he returned to his seat.

Meanwhile, many in the hall examined and discussed ceaselessly.

"Who is this extraordinary person?"

"Actually outbid a Foundation Establishment Cultivator?"

"His courage and wealth are truly remarkable!"
