After being reborn, I took my childhood sweetheart to cultivate immortality.

Upon hearing the words "Marrow Cleansing Pill," Xu Qingman and her husband decided that they absolutely had to participate in this auction.

In the days following the decision, the family of four's main task shifted from gathering information to trying to obtain tickets to the auction.

Even if not everyone can get one, they should at least try to get one. Only by entering the auction can they have a chance to learn more about the cultivation world.

The family inquired around and finally heard some useful information.

Originally, in Dongyang City, this kind of auction, which was personally presided over by the city lord, was held once every ten years.

People from all the cities of Tianyuan Kingdom, as long as they have the ability and time, will mostly try to come and participate in the auction.

In order to appease the major families in the city, Lord Jin Boqing distributed the auction tickets, except for those given to the major sects in the country, to the major families in the city.

After two days of hard work, the Xu family finally managed to exchange a top-grade ginseng that was over 900 years old and nearly 1,000 years old for four admission tickets from the Ma family, a martial arts family in Dongyang City.

The Ma family can only be considered a middle-class family in Dongyang City. The patriarch, Ma Huaiwu, is over 130 years old and only has the strength of the late stage of the Xuan rank.

For ancient martial arts families, while the allure of elixirs like the Marrow Cleansing Pill is immense, they are also keenly aware that they cannot acquire even one with their own strength.

At such auctions, they can only broaden their horizons, and may end up with nothing.

When the Ma family learned that Xu Qingman and her husband were willing to offer a thousand-year-old ginseng in exchange for four tickets to the auction, they immediately completed the transaction without hesitation.

At each auction, the Ma family received six admission tickets.

In the past, they would keep two tickets for themselves and let the head of the family take a younger member in to broaden their horizons, and then resell the rest to relatives and friends.

As for the relatives and friends who came to their door asking for tickets, the Ma family said they could only apologize.

For them, a thousand-year-old ginseng that they could obtain was more useful than anything else.

As for whether this would offend relatives and friends, the entire Ma family felt it didn't matter.

In this world, once you possess absolute power, nothing else matters.

After all, with this thousand-year-old ginseng, there is still a possibility that our ancestor's cultivation, which has remained stagnant for many years, might be able to improve.

After the four members of the Xu family entered the auction venue, they became even more convinced that this world was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

Putting everything else aside, the array used to protect the auction, and the few high-grade spirit stones at the array's core, are something that no ancient martial arts world could possibly possess.

Feeling the rich spiritual energy emanating from the array, the four members of the Xu family were all extremely excited.

At this moment, they became even more convinced that as long as they were patient, one day their family would be able to return to the Lingchuan Continent and reunite with their loved ones.

More than half an hour before the auction was to begin, I learned from people around me that those who were going to participate in the auction could also consign their own items for auction on-site.

As long as it is approved and valued by an appraiser and deemed worthy of auction, it can proceed.

Thinking they might find something they wanted later, the couple took out a nearly thousand-year-old ginseng, intending to exchange it for some money at the auction.

Yu Jinchen arrived at the appraiser's location, where an elderly man who looked to be about seventy or eighty years old was sitting, leisurely drinking a cup of tea.

He took the ginseng out of his bag and placed it on the table. "Old sir, could you please help me identify this ginseng and see if it meets the requirements for auction?"

After the ginseng was taken out, the appraiser put down his teacup and excitedly picked up the ginseng, which had now taken the shape of a human.

"Are you sure you want to put this ginseng up for auction? Don't wait until I register it and then regret it, or you won't be able to leave the auction house."

After careful observation and a sniff close to the nose, the appraiser took a deep breath, suppressing his pounding heart, and confirmed the diagnosis.

In his words, he also warned Yu Jinchen not to disregard the rules of the auction, otherwise he would not be able to leave.

Only after receiving Yu Jinchen's affirmative reply did the appraiser feel at ease enough to complete the registration for him.

"Young man, keep this voucher safe. You will need to present this voucher to exchange for your winnings after the ginseng is auctioned off."

Before Yu Jinchen left, the appraiser told him that because his spiritual ginseng was of a very high grade, according to their auction rules, they would only charge half of the auction proceeds.

Yu Jinchen had a lot of respect for the auctioneer.

They stipulated that for all ordinary auction items, they would charge a fee of one in ten.

For items of considerable value, they actually halve the fees.

This rule also meant that whenever an auction was held in Dongyang City, not only were there many bidders, but also many people consigning items for auction.

The first few items were quite ordinary, just common weapons and the like, each priced at only a few thousand or tens of thousands of taels of silver.

When the fifth item, a Marrow Cleansing Pill, was placed on the auction table, everything seemed to take a fantastical turn.

To win the Marrow Cleansing Pill, you can't use gold or silver; they want spirit stones, and high-grade spirit stones at that.

Finally, the Marrow Cleansing Pill was won by someone from an outer city at auction for one hundred high-grade spirit stones.

Following the auction of this Marrow Cleansing Pill, four more Marrow Cleansing Pills were subsequently auctioned off.

Perhaps fearing there wouldn't be another chance, the price of the subsequent Marrow Cleansing Pills kept rising, with the last one fetching a sky-high price of 180 high-grade spirit stones.

After the Marrow Cleansing Pill was sold, several more spiritual plants were sold, but Xu Qingman's family didn't like any of them.

The entire auction house was in an uproar when the ginseng they had consigned was brought to the stage.

Some of those with ample funds even went closer to the auction stage to take a closer look.

As soon as the starting price of 500 high-grade spirit stones was announced, those who wanted to bid for the spirit ginseng began to place their bids. In less than a quarter of an hour, the price had been raised to 1,200 spirit stones.

Looking at it this way, it seems that Tianyuan Kingdom has quite a few sects and aristocratic families with a rich history.

Even at the very end, some who were worried about not having enough funds privately discussed pooling their money to first acquire the ginseng and then discuss how to divide the profits.

In any case, no one would dare to consume such a large spiritual ginseng by themselves, otherwise, they might accidentally damage their dantian due to an excess of spiritual energy.

Upon seeing that some people were discussing bidding together, others quickly reached an agreement as well.

After rounds of bidding, the spiritual ginseng was finally won by the Xuantian Sect and three other minor sects for 35,800 high-grade spirit stones.

The auction concluded with the final, most anticipated item being auctioned, marking the successful end of the entire event.

After everyone left, Xu Qingman's family also received their spirit stones from the manager.

Although there were formations in the auction, no one dared to act recklessly.

But when the family came out of the auction, they hadn't gone far when Xu Qingman and her husband slowed down, only to find that a long trail of people were following behind them.
