So, although these Dharma-tier Gui Ling Elixirs are auctioned at the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's auction, no one knows where they came from or who refined them, except for Fairy Qu Wan'Er... The secrecy is well maintained! Despite Fairy Qu Wan'Er's alleged prejudice against male cultivators due to some past emotional wounds, she treats Young Lady Lii Xiaolan very well and highly values her. Moreover, with the method to refine these Dharma-tier Gui Ling Elixirs, according to Lii Xiaolan, her master Qu Wan'Er values her more and more!
While Lin Xuankong was pondering this, cultivators outside had already started bidding!
"Ten Turtle-Poria Elixirs... I bid one thousand five hundred Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jade!"
The initial bid came from an Initial Tier Earth Immortal, whose face showed an expectant look as he directly called out a high price, increasing it by fifty percent.
Apparently, with the endorsements from Jue Ying Immortal of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, Fairy Qu Wan'Er, and the Alchemy Master from Ten Thousand Peaks Immortal Sect, this Initial Tier Earth Immortal had no doubts left!
"I bid one thousand eight hundred Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jade."
"I bid two thousand Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jade."
"Two thousand three hundred Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jade."
Soon, one bid after another echoed from all around the auction hall, and many excited cultivators stood up in succession.
The enthusiasm of these cultivators bidding for the life-extending elixirs far surpassed their enthusiasm for all the spirit grasses, spirit medicines, and treasures auctioned previously.
Among them, even those Ninth-Layer Perfection cultivators, whose resources were not as ample as Initial Tier or First Grade Earth Immortals, also stood up and started bidding!
「Half a Cup of Tea Time later,」
The first batch of ten Dharma-tier Gui Ling Elixirs was sold at a terrifying price of five thousand Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jade to a Late Stage Second Grade Earth Immortal!
The old Late Stage Second Grade Earth Immortal, with white hair and a wrinkled face, was clearly nearing the end of his lifespan. That was why he spent so generously, wanting to grasp a chance to prolong his life!
This price was several times higher than that of those thirty-six Spirit Talismans.
Of course, if the host from the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect hadn't reminded everyone that there were still ninety Turtle-Poria Elixirs remaining, this price would have soared even higher!
After all, these were ten Dharma-tier Gui Ling Elixirs. If each extended lifespan by about two hundred years, then ten Dharma-tier Gui Ling Elixirs could increase lifespan by a total of approximately two thousand years.
That Late Stage Second Grade Earth Immortal clutched ten Dharma-tier Gui Ling Elixirs and hastily left through the secret passage specially established by the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect. Many Ninth-Layer cultivators watched his retreating figure with looks of intense desire and envy!
Especially those cultivators who didn't possess enough Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jade and couldn't participate in the bidding; besides envy, they felt deep regret and began to discuss amongst themselves.
"If I had known there would be such elixirs at this Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect auction, I would have sold those two Seventh-tier magical artifacts I own to gather some Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jade!"
"Ten elixirs—that's two thousand years of lifespan!"
"TSK! TSK! Two thousand years... If I can't advance to the Earth Immortal Realm in this life, I might only live for another twenty years!"
"Brother Li, Brother Zhang, why don't the three of us pool our Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jade and bid for ten of them together!"
"Alas, looking at the expressions of these fellow cultivators around us, even if the three of us pool our Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jade, we might not be able to win a bid. The price for each batch of elixirs will likely climb higher and higher!"
While countless cultivators in the auction hall were discussing this, in the private box of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, Qu Qingfeng and Qu Qingling couldn't help but discuss as well.
Qu Qingfeng, with a surprised look, turned to his master Qu Qiao'Er. "Master, do you know what this elixir is? Our Martial Aunt, Fairy Qu Wan'Er, has never refined an elixir that extends lifespan by so much!"
The Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'Er shook her head slightly and took out a Communication Jade from her bosom.
"I came to the auction because I was entrusted by Senior Brother Jue Ying to help maintain order temporarily! Before coming, Senior Brother Jue Ying didn't mention anything about this elixir! Let me send a message to him and Senior Sister Wan'Er and ask about it.
"An elixir that extends lifespan by two hundred years is something even I've never heard of!"
Qu Qingfeng nodded and then looked at Qu Qingling. "Little Sister, how many Profound Truth Jade did you bring? I want to bid for some too!"
Qu Qingling took out the Ghost Frog Pouch from her waist and carefully looked through it. "I have about two thousand five hundred left; I painstakingly saved these over the past five hundred years!"
Qu Qingfeng glanced at her. "Silly girl, can't you do the math? If you can get such a lifespan-extending elixir, just one pill can extend your life by two hundred years! We are disciples of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect; do you think it's hard to gather two thousand five hundred Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jade in a few hundred years? Quick, give me those Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jade; the next round of bidding is about to start!"
At this point, Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'Er frowned and said, "Strange. Senior Brother Jue Ying is usually open with me, and I have a great relationship with Senior Sister Wan'Er. They have never hidden anything from me! Yet, when I asked them about the elixir just now, both of them replied that it was from a mysterious cultivator whose identity is currently unknown.
"How odd! With the abilities of Senior Brother Jue Ying and Senior Sister Wan'Er, would investigating the identity of a cultivator who came to auction a treasure be difficult?
"Moreover, this is within Spiritual Crane Immortal City. How could anyone possibly hide from the two of them?"
Qu Qingling and Qu Qingfeng heard this, and their expressions faltered.
Qu Qingfeng exclaimed, "There's such a thing? Martial Uncle Jue Ying and Martial Aunt Wan'Er wouldn't deliberately hide the cultivator's identity, would they?"
Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'Er frowned. "Forget it. I'll ask them directly when I see them next time!"
She sighed, looking at her two disciples. "However, considering the personalities of Senior Brother Jue Ying and Senior Sister Wan'Er, since they aren't telling me now, it's unlikely they'll tell me later either. It seems if you two want those elixirs, you'll have to bid for them yourselves!"
Nearby, Lii Xiaolan observed their reactions, her eyes flickered, and she discreetly exchanged a meaningful glance with Lin Xuankong.
Lin Xuankong nodded slightly, a hint of astonishment in his eyes.
Actually, before the auction, he had anticipated that such lifespan-extending elixirs would be popular among cultivators. However, he never imagined the reception for these Dharma-tier Gui Ling Elixirs would be this enthusiastic! Among all the cultivators present, there was hardly anyone who didn't want these elixirs. The cultivators bidding were shouting themselves hoarse, their eyes blazing with fervor, looking as if they wanted to beat down their competitors on the spot! His original plan for auctioning these one hundred Dharma-tier Gui Ling Elixirs was to raise ten to twenty thousand Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jade, enough to secure funds for future Demon Pearl acquisitions. But now, in just the first round, a mere ten Dharma-tier Gui Ling Elixirs had sold for the astronomical price of five thousand Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jade! And this was only the first round, presumably fetching the lowest price. It was conceivable that in the subsequent rounds of bidding, the price for these Dharma-tier Gui Ling Elixirs would climb higher and higher, and the competition would become increasingly fierce! TSK! TSK! This was truly unexpected! If he had known this earlier, he would have put more Dharma-tier Gui Ling Elixirs up for auction this time! He still had the five hundred Dharma-tier Gui Ling Elixirs that Young Lady Lii Xiaolan had recently refined!
