I Can Travel between Two Worlds-Chapter 74 - 73: Auction Finds and Celestial Demon Battle Armor—Integration!

Chapter 74: Chapter 73: Auction Finds and Celestial Demon Battle Armor—Integration!

After speaking, the enchanting woman on stage somewhat nervously looked towards the various seats.

As expected, just as she predicted, the entire venue was silent, with no one bidding for a long time.

"Is it going to remain unsold..."

The female auctioneer was somewhat helpless.

These large Spirit Testing Stones are generally only purchased by sect forces, and they are obviously not popular in Guangyuan Town, where loose cultivators gather.

But she did not have high hopes of auctioning off this item either.

Just as she was about to announce that it remained unsold, Lin Chen, from the audience, placed a bid.

"Two hundred Spirit Stones."

Seeing someone actually bid, the auctioneer immediately felt a surge of joy inside.

"Fellow Daoist number 92 bids two hundred Spirit Stones, any higher bids?" The female auctioneer’s face was full of delight.

Not surprisingly, Lin Chen smoothly bought the Spirit Testing Stone for two hundred Spirit Stones.

Lin Chen’s bid attracted quite a bit of attention.

Yet, upon seeing his cultivation at the Qi Refining Peak, those people averted their gaze.

"This person is likely from some cultivation family or sect," the cultivators in the venue thought to themselves.

Lin Chen sat quietly in his seat.

He did not mind the attention, as he only intended to use this identity once.

Next time he comes, he will probably be a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

This giant Spirit Testing Stone is equivalent to three hundred ordinary Spirit Testing Stones, which is enough for a while after being brought back to Blue Star, saving Lin Chen the trouble of purchasing them himself.

The auction proceeded normally.

After a few magical treasures and pills were auctioned, the female auctioneer pulled out another large stone. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Fellow Daoists, this is a three-thousand-pound piece of Red Copper Ore, which can be used by a skilled Artifact Refiner to create over a hundred middle-grade magical artifacts."

"Starting bid for this Red Copper Ore is five hundred Spirit Stones..."

After saying this, the female auctioneer nervously looked in Lin Chen’s direction.

As expected, apart from Lin Chen, no one in the venue showed interest in the ore.

Compared to raw ores, loose cultivators prefer to buy ready-made magical artifacts.

Finally, Lin Chen bought it for five hundred Spirit Stones.

Next, dozens of items were auctioned off in succession in the venue.

Lin Chen also bid several times, acquiring quite a few common resources.

"Tsk tsk, this auction wasn’t a pointless trip!"

"A thousand spiritual medicines, thousands of pounds of ore, plus many materials useful for Blue Star..."

Lin Chen thought silently, with a bit of doubt in his heart.

"I’ve spent over two thousand Spirit Stones... I am probably being watched by now."

Lin Chen furrowed his brow slightly, feeling the gaze on him growing more numerous.

"However, under the Core Formation Stage, I suppose no one can really threaten me..."

"Once I’ve acquired the medicinal materials for two Foundation Establishment Pills, I’ll make my escape."

Lin Chen thought to himself silently.

Not long after, the auction drew to a close.

The female auctioneer didn’t hold back any longer, speaking temptingly, "Among those who’ve come to today’s auction, many are cultivators at the late Qi Refining stage, or even at the Qi Refining Peak..."

"I’m sure what everyone desires the most is Foundation Establishment!"

After saying this, the female auctioneer took out a delicate wooden box.

The wooden box opened slowly, revealing a thumb-sized, glossy pill to the audience.

"Hiss... It’s a Foundation Establishment Pill!"

"There is actually a Foundation Establishment Pill at this auction!"

For a moment, the entire venue was in an uproar. Many cultivators at the late Qi Refining stage had red eyes upon seeing the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Even Lin Chen was somewhat surprised.

"Weren’t they supposed to auction the medicinal materials for a Foundation Establishment Pill... How come there’s also a finished Foundation Establishment Pill?"

He glanced at the surrounding cultivators, then dismissed the idea of contending for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

"I can’t buy this Foundation Establishment Pill. All these hundreds of cultivators are eyeing it covetously. If I were to buy it and they all pounced on me together... I’m not confident I could kill them all..."

Lin Chen shook his head slightly, deciding he only sought to purchase two sets of medicinal materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

On the stage, the female auctioneer first put away the Foundation Establishment Pill.

"Everyone, there is only one Foundation Establishment Pill, but there are six sets of materials for concocting Foundation Establishment Pills, each including one Illusion Heart Grass, one Celestial Spirit Fruit..."

"Each set of materials starts at 200 Spirit Stones."

As the female auctioneer’s voice fell, the loose cultivators below were raring to try.

However, compared to the Foundation Establishment Pill, the price of the materials was relatively lower.

After all, concocting a Foundation Establishment Pill requires finding a Second Tier alchemist, and the success rate is often only twenty to thirty percent.

Compared to that, directly purchasing the Foundation Establishment Pill is much more convenient.

As a result, although many cultivators engaged in the bidding, their strength was often limited.

The truly powerful, the Qi Refining Peak cultivators, were not in a hurry to bid. Instead, they held onto their Spirit Stones, prepared to compete for the final Foundation Establishment Pill.

Thus, Lin Chen managed to seize an opportunity.

He spent about a thousand Spirit Stones to buy three sets of Foundation Establishment Pill materials.

After purchasing them, Lin Chen did not stay in his seat for even a second longer.

He headed straight for the auction backstage.

"Fellow Daoist, here are your auction items..."

Lin Chen took the storage bag, ensuring the items were correct, then stowed away all kinds of resources.

Among them were the three sets of Foundation Establishment Pill materials.

After paying the Spirit Stones, Lin Chen didn’t hesitate at all and left the auction.

"Right now, nearly all the cultivators have their attention drawn to the Foundation Establishment Pill..."

"Escaping at this moment is just right!"

Lin Chen was not greedy. After leaving the auction, he quickly used sword control to get far away from Guangyuan Town.

...

Simultaneously, the auction ended.

A cultivator at Qi Refining Perfection bought the Foundation Establishment Pill for eighteen hundred Spirit Stones.

After obtaining the Foundation Establishment Pill, he dared not linger and swiftly fled the venue.

A dozen or more Qi Refining Peak cultivators kept a close eye on him and followed closely.

In a private room at the auction, an elder at the Foundation Establishment Stage had a complex expression on his face.

"Humph, a mere Qi Refining cultivator dares to compete? This Foundation Establishment Pill is crucial for the family. You all follow this old man and catch him quickly..."

"Yes, Patriarch!" replied several late Qi Refining cultivators, their eyes filled with greed.

...

On the other side, Lin Chen used Sword Flight, reaching an area dozens of miles outside Guangyuan Town.

Along the way, he used his Divine Sense to confirm no one was following him, preparing to revert to his original appearance.

Just then, from not far away, came sounds of chaotic battle and clashes of spells.

Lin Chen was taken aback, and under his Divine Sense, saw a dozen or so cultivators in a tangle, with more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground.

Those both on the ground and participating in the battle were at least at the late Qi Refining stage in cultivation.

"These people... Are they the Qi Refining cultivators from the auction?"

Lin Chen felt it was truly bad luck.

"Damn it, I’ve flown dozens of miles... and still ran into them?"

He stepped back cautiously, wanting to distance himself from this mess to avoid getting caught up in it.

The skirmish not far off didn’t last long.

The final victors were an old man at the Foundation Establishment Stage, along with a few family Qi Refining cultivators beside him.

The old man kept searching through the corpses, quickly acquiring around twenty storage bags.

He took out a small palm-sized wooden box, opened it, and inside was none other than that Foundation Establishment Pill.

"Since ancient times, treasures go to those who are capable!"

"With this Foundation Establishment Pill, the family can add another Foundation Establishment Cultivator!"

Besides the Foundation Establishment Pill, there were also several sets of Foundation Establishment Pill materials, and many other treasures from the auction.

From a distance, Lin Chen watched this scene unfold.

After a long moment of silence, he quietly pulled out a set of black battle armor and wore it.

"This time, I’m going for it!"

"Celestial Demon Battle Armor... Integrate!"
