Top-tier Unruly Master

Chapter 1487 1524: Thunderbolt Ore

At this moment, the female cultivators below the stage heard that the first auction item was actually a bottle of Grade Eight Rejuvenation Pill, and couldn't help but feel extremely excited. After all, such an item was incredibly precious to female cultivators. The Rejuvenation Pill, after all, could make one's appearance look significantly younger, even delaying the aging of the face, allowing a woman to remain youthful.

Appearance is undoubtedly one of the most important concerns for female cultivators. After all, which female cultivator wouldn't want to have a beautiful appearance, to always look young and beautiful.

"The bidding for this incredibly rare Grade Eight Rejuvenation Pill starts at 1.5 million Spirit Stones! Each raise must not be less than 100,000 Spirit Stones, and now the auction begins!"

After Lin Shu announced the starting price, he declared the auction open.

"Two million Spirit Stones!"

As soon as Lin Qi's voice fell, a middle-aged woman immediately called out a price, even directly adding 500,000 Spirit Stones. It was clear that this middle-aged woman obviously placed great importance on her appearance.

"Two million two hundred thousand Spirit Stones!"

"Two million five hundred thousand Spirit Stones!"

"Two million six hundred thousand Spirit Stones!"

...

For a while, the female cultivators in the venue began to call out prices one after another. Clearly, this Grade Eight Rejuvenation Pill was very popular among everyone, especially female cultivators. Although this Grade Eight Rejuvenation Pill was of no use for cultivation, it was evidently just as important as cultivation to female cultivators.

Many male cultivators saw this scene and were quite embarrassed, never expecting that the Grade Eight Rejuvenation Pill would be so popular among female cultivators. For a while, the price kept rising, and soon the original 1.5 million price was almost reaching nearly three million Spirit Stones.

In the VIP box, Ding Fan watched the scene outside with great interest, feeling somewhat sentimental. For women, no matter where they are, they attach great importance to their appearance, and are willing to be ruthless for it. It seems that those millions of Spirit Stones are just small change to them, as in their hearts, those Spirit Stones are naturally not as important as their appearance!

Indeed, in their hearts, their appearance is obviously always in the first position...

"Three million one hundred thousand Spirit Stones, once!"

"Three million one hundred thousand Spirit Stones, twice!"

...

"Three million one hundred thousand Spirit Stones, three times! Sold! Congratulations to this lady!"

Lin Shu looked into the audience at a middle-aged woman with a smiling face to congratulate her. Obviously, he also didn't expect that the Grade Eight Rejuvenation Pill would end up selling for twice as much. It's important to note that this item clearly wasn't of much use for cultivation, yet it was surprisingly so popular among female cultivators.

Ding Fan saw this scene and seemed to have a grasp of the situation. Previously, Ding Fan had given a few Supreme Quality Medicine Pills to the auction house. This auction house not only sells some very precious items but also allows treasures from one's own to be placed here for auction.

However, not everything can be placed at the auction. It obviously needs to be appraised by auction house members, and only some very precious items with great auction potential will ultimately be put up for auction. When Ding Fan took out a few Supreme Quality Medicine Pills for the cultivators at the auction house to see, they became very excited upon seeing them, clearly recognizing the immense auction potential of these Supreme Quality Medicine Pills.

At this moment, Ding Fan saw that even just a Grade Eight Rejuvenation Pill could be auctioned for twice its original price. Naturally, his Supreme Quality Medicine Pills wouldn't fetch a low price. After all, these are Supreme Quality Medicine Pills that even Transcendence Tribulation Stage cultivators would fight ruthlessly to get. The rarity is truly extraordinary!

The pills Ding Fan took out were ones he couldn't use himself, as he was already a divine warrior. Some of the cultivation pills were no longer useful to him, so Ding Fan decided to take those Supreme Quality Medicine Pills out for auction.

"This Grade Eight Pill is indeed not bad, but unfortunately, it's just a Grade Eight Rejuvenation Pill..."

At this moment, Long Ren beside Ding Fan looked down and said with some regret.

Ding Fan heard the other's words and couldn't help but smile, then said:

"Whatever kind of medicine pill you want, just let me know, brother. Although they may not all be supreme quality medicine pills, they should be at least better than these Grade Eight pills!"

"...I actually forgot that elder brother is an existence as a Grade Nine alchemist, so I'll have to trouble you in the future!"

Long Ren was very shocked to hear Ding Fan's words. While he had seen some Grade Nine alchemists, there weren't many who could confidently claim to refine supreme quality pills. Even if they couldn't, they would produce something better than Grade Eight pills. Obviously, even for Grade Nine alchemists, such a statement was daring. Yet, Long Ren did not doubt Ding Fan's words in the slightest.

Long Ren had heard about his elder brother's exploits in the Great Alchemy Competition in Dancheng, where all the pills refined by his elder brother were of supreme quality. The success rate for refining supreme quality pills was over one hundred percent, a truly incredible feat!

Therefore, at this moment, Long Ren believed in his elder brother absolutely. He knew his elder brother definitely had the capability and was not just boasting.

At this moment, Long Ren felt extremely fortunate to have such an elder brother. Though he was the Lake Master of the Thirty-six Caves and quite powerful, he was evidently a notch below his elder brother.

This was also why Long Ren was willing to befriend Ding Fan. Long Ren knew that to become truly outstanding, he needed to associate with cultivators even more excellent than himself. Although he was already quite exceptional, finding someone even better was indeed not an easy task.

Subsequently, the auction continued to be lively, and several items were auctioned, including rare medicine pills or rare spiritual materials. Every item was evidently rare and precious, causing the audience's enthusiasm to run high, leaving them very satisfied with the auction due to the many uncommon items available.

At a moment, some auction items reached nearly ten million spirit stones, which greatly shocked Ding Fan. He had thought having millions of spirit stones made him quite wealthy, but now he realized it wasn't that much. Evidently, he noticed many wealthy cultivators were present.

At this moment, Ding Fan couldn't help but worry. Though his spirit stones were considerable, bidding on something he was truly interested in might not be easy.

Ding Fan glanced unintentionally at Long Ren beside him, who remained calm without any surprise at the cultivators spending millions of spirit stones. Ding Fan couldn't help but secretly admire his wise younger brother. Being younger than Ding Fan yet already the Lake Master of the Thirty-six Caves, clearly, his financial power was nothing ordinary cultivators could rival!

Before long, Lin Shu on the stage watched as another hostess carried a tray up again. Lin Shu's eyes sparkled seeing the red cloth-covered item on the tray, indicating that it was nothing ordinary. The auction had been going for some time, so it was indeed time to present some substantial auction items.

"The next treasure, it is not ordinary! In the Cultivation World, elements like wind, fire, thunder, and lightning are naturally present. For cultivators, these naturally attributed items are tremendously valuable, especially those naturally occurring in nature, they are exceedingly rare and precious!"

After Lin Shu finished speaking, the cultivators below nodded in understanding, knowing that while some man-made pills and magic artifacts were precious, they couldn't compare to the naturally formed treasures in the Cultivation World due to their natural attributes. Everyone understood this, and it successfully piqued their interest as they eagerly looked up at the items on the stage, curious to know what natural treasure it could be!

At this point, Ding Fan was also quite intrigued after hearing the host's words. He knew that natural world treasures weren't something ordinary cultivators could obtain, and their power was immense. His Pure Thunder Pill, naturally occurring and immensely powerful, had helped him significantly.

Indeed, with the aid of the Pure Thunder Pill, Ding Fan had once slain a divine warrior during the Transcendence Tribulation Stage and had also saved several divine warriors' lives.

This demonstrated such treasures' greatness, being unattainable by ordinary cultivators. Ding Fan felt incredibly fortunate to have acquired his Pure Thunder Pill, which significantly enhanced his strength.

Therefore, Ding Fan also couldn't help but closely watch the item on the tray, curious to see what nature's treasure it could be. The previous auction items, though rare and valuable, hadn't captivated him much, but this one had stirred his interest.

"Next, let's witness the magnificent appearance of this Thunderbolt Ore!"

After Lin Shu finished speaking, he immediately lifted the red cloth from the tray, revealing a watermelon-sized ore to the audience. The ore's shape was bizarre with no discernible form, yet arcs of electricity flickered through it, making it appear eerie. The cultivators could see that the ore obviously contained a vast amount of thunderbolt power.

Witnessing this, everyone couldn't help but gasp in shock, realizing what a rare and pure thunder-attributed ore it was. The Thunderbolt Ore was evidently filled with an enormous amount of thunder energy, making it precious beyond measure. Many cultivators were left astonished, their eyes widened, revealing their surprise at the Lan City auction managing to procure such a rare item. It was simply unbelievable!

As Ding Fan gazed at the Thunderbolt Ore, he felt equal parts shock and excitement. His Pure Thunder Pill had been used many times and though it absorbed the power of thunder from the heavens and earth naturally, absorbing the energy from this Thunderbolt Ore would be significantly better. The energy accumulated naturally was far superior to typical thunder power found elsewhere.

Thus, Ding Fan made up his mind; he had to obtain this Thunderbolt Ore for himself.

However, Ding Fan was uncertain if he could win the bid, as such a valuable item was well-known among many cultivators. Ding Fan could only hope that the starting price of the Thunderbolt Ore was low and that competition would be sparse...
