Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

Chapter 102 Unearths a Supreme Treasure!
There are a dozen or so rough stones in total.

They were neatly arranged on the table.

Then a specialist will provide counseling.

The order of resolution is arranged according to the normal sequence number.

As the raw stones were cut open one by one.

Everyone wore expressions of tension mixed with excitement.

This year's rough stones are all top-quality; three were opened in a row, and no one lost money!
This would have been almost impossible in the past.

As the fifth and sixth draws were made, everyone's enthusiasm finally subsided somewhat.

The fifth one lost 20,000 spirit stones.

The sixth one didn't lose money, but it didn't make any money either.

Fortunately, people weren't participating in the auction for the items themselves.

It was for the discounts at the auction.

The so-called auction is actually a process of dividing up profits.

However, what everyone adheres to is not a merit-based system, but an ability-based system.

If you can make accurate judgments, you can obtain a larger share of raw stones.

Of course, the amount of raw stones here isn't given to you for free.

It's not that they're selling you more, but rather that they're selling you more.

After all, you can earn more, but the lords of Taikoo City cannot lose money.

Within the ancient city, the interests of every Nascent Soul sect are well-defined.

They have already been assigned.

If you want more, then you'll need to prove your discerning eye at the auction, just like these Golden Core sects.

However, under normal circumstances, people wouldn't come to the auction.

They're all decent people; they still need to maintain a certain level of decorum.

Only sects like the Hehuan Sect, which want to expand their influence, will make an appearance at the auction.

To prove one's own strength.

Let others experience our strength. When I'm really about to take action, you'll know which side to choose.

Therefore, everyone attaches great importance to the seventh original stone of the Hehuan Sect.

The person in charge of opening the raw stones was a little nervous.

However, as the rough stones were gradually unearthed, everyone couldn't help but cheer.

Because there really is something inside this raw stone.

And it's a magical artifact!
"Let's see the value of this magical artifact!" The host breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the artifact and then stepped forward to have it appraised.

The person in charge of the assessment was an old man who looked to be in his fifties.

He picked up the bottle-like magical artifact and began to appraise it.

After a long silence, he slowly spoke: "This is a mid-grade magic weapon, worth approximately 500,000!"

"what?

Half a million?
How many spirit stones did the Hehuan Sect spend to buy it?

"It seems to be over six hundred thousand..."

It's obvious that the Hehuan Sect lost money on this deal!

"damn it!"

Inside the private room, Zhou Wudao stared at Zhang Yan in the hall with a sinister look in his eyes, his eyes filled with hatred.

"It wouldn't have cost so many spirit stones to buy it originally."

"These people deserve to die!"

Zhou Wudao felt a pang of sadness.

The raw stones that could have been purchased without so many spirit stones ended up being bought at a loss because of the Qingheng Sect.

But he didn't want to think about it.

It wasn't the Qingheng Sect interfering with him at all; rather, it was him interfering with the Qingheng Sect.

"Actually, it's fine, as long as our raw stones have the highest value."

At this moment, Leng Anxia, ​​who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

"Well, that's the only way."

Zhou Wudao clutched his troubled hair in frustration.

But he soon stopped laughing.

Because the eighth raw stone will be right after that.

This is the original stone from the Qingheng School.

As the specialists carefully unraveled the opening, a jade gourd was revealed inside.

The jade gourd shone with a dazzling light, emanating a misty aura.

The door opened wide at a glance.

This is no ordinary item.

"this……

It's a top-grade magic weapon!

The person in charge of the appraisal, after carefully examining the gourd, muttered to himself.

magic weapon!

It's a top-grade magic weapon; its value is simply immeasurable.

Although, generally speaking, Golden Core cultivators use magic weapons, but!

Generally speaking, Golden Core cultivators use low-grade magic treasures.

That's impressive, they used a mid-grade magic weapon.

However, top-grade magic treasures are extremely rare.

Even some Nascent Soul stage cultivators do not possess high-grade magic treasures.

The reason is simple: top-grade magic treasures are extremely precious.

Although its market value is around 800,000 spirit stones, it would cost at least a million spirit stones to actually buy it.

Moreover, nobody is selling these things!

This is something that can enhance the sect's foundation.

Unless there's absolutely no other way, no one will sell these things.

Of course, this applies if your sect doesn't even have a single Golden Core cultivator.

Whether you sell it or not is not up to you.

Even the price isn't up to you to decide.

Although everyone is from a respectable family during the day, what about at night?

So you just say whether you're going to offer this to your older brother or not, and that's it.

Although the Qingheng Sect does not have any Nascent Soul stage cultivators, they have many Golden Core stage cultivators, so they can still protect their high-grade magic treasures.

……

"Whoosh!"

"It's actually a high-grade magic weapon!"

"Damn it, the Qingheng Sect has made a huge profit this time."

"A top-grade magic weapon! The entire sect combined isn't worth as much as this top-grade magic weapon!"

Everyone's faces were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred when the Qingheng Sect revealed a top-grade magic weapon.

"We need to be careful on our way back this time." Lei Kunhai's heart skipped a beat when he saw that a high-grade magic weapon had been found.

He knew Zhang Yan had good taste.

But I never expected them to have such good taste.

It's an easy way to obtain a top-grade magic weapon!
And I bought it at an extremely low price!

It's exciting to think about!

"After the auction ends, let's not leave yet. I'll send a message to the sect leader and ask him to bring a few more Golden Core cultivators over."

The moment Lei Kunhai saw this top-grade magic weapon, he had already made up his mind.

Although Taikoo Shing will send people to escort them.

but……

It's better to rely on yourself than on others. You can't depend on others.

Moreover, wealth can be very tempting.

If it's an ordinary magical artifact or treasure, Taigu City might consider issues like saving face and escort you back.

However, when the value far exceeds face, and outweighs the cost of maintaining stability.

So……

It's hard to say whether they'll be an escort team or robbers at that point.

Everything can be weighed on a balance scale.

On one side are interests, and on the other are rules.

For the sake of profit, how much are these rules worth?

Furthermore, upholding the rules, in the final analysis, is still for the sake of interests, isn't it?
With the Qingheng Sect's superior magic weapon, the atmosphere at the auction for the raw stones grew stronger and stronger.

Unfortunately, no more magic items were obtained until the very end.

Or something whose value surpasses that of the Qingheng Sect's magical treasures.

Therefore, the winner of this auction is the Qingheng faction, and according to the rules, the Qingheng faction can obtain an additional share of the raw stone vein in the next few years.

It's safe to say that the Qingheng Sect really made a killing this time.

It exceeded everyone's expectations.

Including Zhang Yan and Lei Kunhai.

"You'll be richly rewarded when you return this time!"

Lei Kunhai spoke to Zhang Yan with an excited expression.

Although he was in charge this time, he knew clearly that the success was entirely due to Zhang Yan.

Without Zhang Yan, it's truly uncertain what would have happened to them this time.

"congratulations."

Because they received the biggest reward, they were invited backstage.

Here, someone specifically handed over that top-grade magic gourd to Lei Kunhai.

It's worth mentioning that during the handover, the person even asked if the magic gourd was for sale.

If you're willing to sell, someone is willing to offer 100 million spirit stones.

Lei Kunhai neither agreed nor refused.

I just said I'd think about it.

He knew that if someone from the organizers could relay a message, then the other party must be from a Nascent Soul sect.

It wouldn't be good for him to refuse abruptly.

Therefore, I could only politely decline.

even……

If it's really too difficult, then we can't just refrain from taking action.

after all……

Magical treasures are powerful, but you still need to be alive to use them.

It's clearly not worth losing your life for a magical artifact.

Zhang Yan stared longingly at the superior-grade magic weapon, though he didn't know its specific attributes.

But regardless.

A top-grade magic weapon!
The above entries are definitely good. If I could equip him with them for a few days, he would be incredibly happy.

But unfortunately.

This thing was too valuable; before he could even look at it, Lei Kunhai put it away.

He even suspected that this thing was something that not only he, but even Lei Kunhai, couldn't afford.

They will likely be assigned to the sect.

That leaves only two options.

One option is to entrust it to a Golden Core cultivator who has the best chance of reaching the Nascent Soul stage.

Either give it to the Golden Core cultivator with the highest cultivation level and strongest combat power.

If it's the first option, it should be Mo Changqing.

The second possibility is that it's the grandmaster uncle!

In fact, if the Grandmaster Uncle's body had been properly nurtured, he should have been number one in both combat power and potential.

But unfortunately...

This has happened.

This caused my grandmaster to fall into silence.

"It seems we'll have to wait and see."

Zhang Yan also knew that the sect would definitely not give him such a precious magic weapon at this stage.

But it doesn't matter; those things are indeed too far away for him.

None of them are as practical as some spirit stones.

"Let's go back to our lodgings first."

"We're waiting for the sect leader to come and fetch us."

Lei Kunhai, along with Zhang Yan and Lei Wanbao, hurriedly returned to their residence.

Then they waited for Mo Changqing to arrive.

"it is good!"

Zhang Yan naturally did not object.

Lei Wanbao was extremely nervous.

Although he was a second-generation immortal, he had always made a living by forging magical artifacts and had never participated in fighting or killing.

……

"but……

When did we rent this courtyard?

Zhang Yan looked at the quiet courtyard in front of him with some curiosity.

Lei Kunhai had never brought them to this place before.

They used to stay at inns...

"With so many people, there will be too much gossip. This place is a backup plan set up by the sect in Taigu City. There are formations set up in the courtyard, so if we encounter danger, we can barely resist it."

"We just need to wait patiently for the sect leader's support."

Lei Kunhai spoke to Zhang Yan.

"Yes!" Zhang Yan nodded.

"Grandpa, is it really that dangerous?"

This is Taikoo City, after all!

Lei Wanbao asked somewhat nervously.

"Don't underestimate the greed of those people in the cultivation world."

"For the sake of magical treasures and profits, they don't care about rules, or even their own parents."

Although there are Nascent Soul cultivators guarding the Ancient City, what if those Nascent Soul sects were the ones breaking the rules?

Upon hearing this, both Zhang Yan and Lei Wanbao held their breath.

A top-grade magic weapon is indeed enough to impress a Nascent Soul cultivator.

If it really is a Nascent Soul.

They could be said to have died without a burial place.

"Grandpa, what if..."

Lei Wanbao wanted to say something, but Lei Kunhai interrupted him directly: "There is no 'what if'. We have an array. The Nascent Soul cultivators will not take action themselves. Otherwise, they will be too easily recognized. At that time, their sect will definitely become the target of everyone's criticism. Other Nascent Soul sects will definitely join forces to drive them out of Taigu City."

If one were to be imprisoned and expelled from Taigu City because of this incident, or even start a conflict with other Nascent Soul sects because of it, that would be a huge loss.

So even if someone wanted to make a move, they would definitely wait until we went out, or have a Golden Core cultivator do it.

Lei Kunhai analyzed the two individuals.

The interests within this ancient city are deeply intertwined and complex, and cannot be simply controlled by a single Nascent Soul sect.

……

Therefore, for them, all they need to do is endure these few days and wait for the sect leader to arrive!
