The Journey of Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 1049 - 573: Available for the Right Price

But she had developed feelings for this Black Armor. More importantly, her funds were also limited, and after purchasing the Dragon Piercing Halberd, she needed to be frugal.

So she remained a detached observer until that gauze dress was bought for three million seven hundred thousand Spirit Stones, at which point she let out a soft sigh.

Jiu Moqi said, "Why sigh? If you like it, why not buy it?"

Ning Xiaoxian said with a troubled expression, "Isn’t it because I’m poor?"

The servant and Jiu Mo couldn’t help but glance at her, the meaning was self-evident.

She sighed deeply, realizing how hard it is to find a confidant. These people don’t have to run a household, so they don’t know the cost of living. At the end of the day, she’s still financially strained!

Afterward, she witnessed several more auctions, feeling utterly amazed — first, because there was an endless array of treasures that dazzled her; second, because there were so many wealthy people around, with transaction prices reaching millions, several million Spirit Stones, and she personally heard of the most expensive item sold for over ten million Spirit Stones.

Two hours later, Steward Wu returned excitedly, handing her the appraisal sheet while explaining on the side:

"The ’Reincarnation Platform’ is a Magic Artifact with quite a unique function. It can trap people in an endless Reincarnation Dilemma. Although it’s primarily a support type, if used well, it can be lethal. It’s a rare gem in Illusion Arrays, and since its previous owner was a celebrity, the appraisers held it in high regard. Unfortunately, there are already two damages on the mirror surface, which would significantly reduce its effectiveness, and it can only withstand two more escapes before completely breaking, so its price is greatly reduced. Elder Ning, are you planning to repair it? Among the appraisers at Heavenly Residence, someone specializes in repairing Magic Artifacts. You just need to pay one hundred and fifty thousand Spirit Stones to make it as good as new."

Ning Xiaoxian gave him a sidelong glance and said, "Blowing your own horn! This sheet lists the Reincarnation Platform’s appraisal at just six hundred thousand Spirit Stones, so what if I pay another one hundred fifty thousand to fix it, can I sell it for twice the price?"

Steward Wu let out an awkward laugh, "No, even when repaired, it might sell for about eight hundred thousand Spirit Stones. Heh heh, pardon me, it’s my professional instinct."

As for the Rejuvenation Pill, Heavenly Residence’s estimated price was rather low, at only three hundred fifty thousand Spirit Stones per pill. Ten Rejuvenation Pills would be merely three million five hundred thousand in total. Seeing her frown, Steward Wu quickly explained, "Although the Rejuvenation Pill has excellent effects, it relies on the Lifespan Extension Pill’s efficacy for its performance. At the Bai Yujing auction, Lifespan Extension Pills were sold for just two hundred thousand silver each."

The appraisers at Heavenly Residence indeed had capable people, as they were able to guess the relationship between the Rejuvenation Pill and the Lifespan Extension Pill. Ning Xiaoxian said slightly angrily, "Regardless of the connection between Lifespan Extension Pills and Rejuvenation Pills, no other elixir in the world has such miraculous effects. This pricing is quite unreasonable." While she said this, earning half the money for the Dragon Piercing Halberd with ten Rejuvenation Pills was actually not bad. After all, Rejuvenation Pills cost almost nothing to produce and sold based on Changtian’s craftsmanship.

Red Scale Meat, eating it prevents illness. This effect sounds impressive, but it’s needed almost exclusively by mortals. Cultivators even struggle to get sick, so each piece is priced at only five thousand Spirit Stones. Considering the exchange rate between Spirit Stones and Silver Taels, this price isn’t low for mortals.

The estimated prices of several other elixirs listed on the sheet were close to her psychological price and were quite fair.

Then there was the Divine Brush "Storm" obtained from Yin Jiuyou’s clone. So far, besides Tu Jin and soul cultivators like Yin Jiuyou, only Cultivators planning to go down with their enemies at the brink of death would dare use it. It’s a weapon that harms others without benefiting oneself.

"Thanks to you, I witnessed a lively scene in the Chamber of Commerce not seen in years, though the appraisal took way too long, mostly because of this brush." Steward Wu said with a smile, the appraisers almost quarreled red-faced over this Divine Brush.

One side believed that the effectiveness of this Divine Artifact communicates with God, able to use Heaven and Earth Power at will, achieving an effect of words carrying immense weight. This already reached the level of a Divine Artifact and should be priced high; the other side argued that "Storm" had stringent usage conditions. The greater the power of the words drawn, the more it drains the owner’s Life Force. It’s not a conventional Magic Artifact that a Cultivator can use freely, and should even not be considered a Magic Artifact, rather a Miracle, and certainly not a Divine Artifact, so it shouldn’t be priced over five million Spirit Stones.
