Chapter 416: Chapter 215: Bloodstained Relic, Purple Mist Flower, City Construction Map (3)

Wu Clan Leader from number sixty-eight and Liuu Qingmin watched enviously as others left.

They had also placed bids just now.

But, unfortunately, they were short on funds and could not produce nearly forty thousand Spirit Stones.

Fu Changsheng saw their dejection and said:

"How many Spirit Stones do you two have combined?"

Wu Clan Leader and Liuu Qingmin exchanged a glance, and Liuu Qingmin answered without hesitation:

"I have thirty-three thousand."

"I have thirty-seven thousand and five hundred." Wu Clan Leader also reported his count.

In total, they had seventy thousand Spirit Stones.

Fu Changsheng pondered for a moment and said:

"Soon, the Commerce will definitely bundle the Foundation Establishment Pills for auction. You might want to consider pooling your Spirit Stones and try bidding for a batch."

Both their eyes lit up at his suggestion.

As expected.

After a while.

Three Foundation Establishment Pills appeared on the auction stage as a batch, but Wu Clan Leader and Liuu Qingmin’s pooled Spirit Stones were still not enough to outbid others.

Both of them were sweating in the palms of their hands at this point.

Because the later it went.

The bidding prices for the Foundation Establishment Pills actually became higher, whereas the first bidder ended up paying the lowest unit price.

The auction was nearing its end.

Some customers had come specifically for the Foundation Establishment Pills, and having failed to bid for even one, were feeling impatient, and blurted out:

"Elder Qin, could you give us loose cultivators a hint as to whether there will be any single Foundation Establishment Pills up for bidding. If not, we can be relieved and leave early."

Elder Qin cupped his hands apologetically:

"Everyone"

"There are only two batches of Foundation Establishment Pills left, one batch of five pills, and another of ten pills. The rules set by the Commerce cannot be changed, and I sincerely apologize."

Firstly, it was to clear the ground, as the main event was about to begin.

Secondly, it was a reminder to the noble families that there were only two batches of Foundation Establishment Pills left; it was time to make a move.

Upon hearing this.

Many cultivators on the first and second floors cursed under their breath and left.

In room number sixty-eight on the third floor.

Wu Clan Leader and Liuu Qingmin went pale upon hearing this.

They had heard there were dozens of Foundation Establishment Pills, and thought with over thirty thousand Spirit Stones, they’d surely be able to bid for at least one. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be all in vain.

Wu Clan Leader was advanced in age.

Missing this opportunity.

He feared there would be little chance of achieving Foundation Establishment in the future.

Liuu Qingmin was no different, both were a bit disheartened, and they no longer had any interest in listening further. They planned to leave early to avoid being ambushed as fat sheep.

Wu Clan Leader cupped his hands and said:

"Thank you, Fu Clan Leader, for bringing us in to broaden our horizons. Liuu and I have other matters to attend to, so we will not continue accompanying Fu Clan Leader. We hope that Fu Clan Leader will manage to bid for his desired items."

As they spoke.

They were about to lift the curtain and leave.

Fu Changsheng thought for a moment and called them back:

"Could you lend me the Spirit Stones you’re holding?"

The Spirit Stones they held were the result of years of frugal saving by both families.

Liuu Qingmin hesitated for just a moment, then offered the Hundred Treasures Pouch containing over thirty thousand Spirit Stones with both hands. Wu Clan Leader blinked, but followed suit, handing over his Spirit Stones as well.

Fu Changsheng nodded slightly:

"Rest assured, I won’t delay returning your Spirit Stones for long."

Soon he needed to bid for that City Construction Map.

He had only six hundred thousand Spirit Stones given by the clan, fearing it would not be enough, but with the seventy thousand Spirit Stones from Wu and Liuu, he felt more confident.

After they left.

A thought quickly flashed through Fu Changsheng’s mind:

"Perhaps..."

Meizhen’s two batches of Foundation Establishment Pills totaled ten pills.

According to the clan’s future ten-year plan, they were needed for Runzhi, Jade Lotus, Yaoyao, Brother Rong, Fu Yongyi, and if he himself could successfully create a Human Puppet Avatar, six pills in total would be required.

Four pills remained.

While Foundation Establishment Pills of such Spirit Medicine, no matter how well preserved, would certainly lose potency if kept for over ten years.

Originally, the Fu Family Foundation Establishment Pills were absolutely not to be leaked.

But if they could wedge themselves into this Foundation Establishment Pills auction, they could just claim these pills were acquired through bidding, and then sell them to Wu and Liuu Families for seventy thousand Spirit Stones; this would undoubtedly be a lucrative deal:

"That’s settled!"

A single Foundation Establishment Pill could be sold for thirty-five thousand Spirit Stones, an astronomical price.

At this moment.

Elder Qin at the auction podium had a solemn expression:

With a wave of his sleeve.

The red cloth on the auction stage was uncovered.

Revealing an ancient box.

One glance told you this box was an aged item.

Fu Changsheng, sitting within his suite, saw it and his eyes lit up:

"It’s here!"

Elder Qin showcased the box to everyone.

And under the urging of the crowd.

He slowly said:

"Everyone, this ancient box, as you might have guessed, is certainly no mortal item. To tell the truth, the box was taken by the seller’s ancestor from the Blood-colored Forbidden Area four or five hundred years ago, and throughout these many years, the restriction on the box has not weakened in the slightest. Even our Wanning Commerce Association’s Great Cultivators of the Purple Mansion could not unlock this box’s restriction."

At this point.

Elder Qin stopped speaking.

Clearly.

This was to give room for imagination, considering even a Great Cultivator couldn’t open such a restriction, the contents inside must be at least Tier Three.

Seeing the atmosphere getting tense.

Fu Changsheng’s eyes shifted.

He started speaking:

"Elder Qin, if even your Commerce’s Great Cultivators of the Purple Mansion couldn’t open this box’s restriction, then for us juniors, it’s even less likely to unravel the enigma within. After all, the seller has pondered for centuries without unveiling it; it wouldn’t fortuitously open as soon as we possess it, would it?"

Following this statement.

Fu Changsheng immediately felt a blatant killing intent from room number sixty-seven next door.

Fu Changsheng chuckled inwardly.

It seemed number sixty-seven was indeed the Eighth-Grade Gongsun Family.
