Chapter 503: Chapter 454: Wish Fulfilled

The chances of He Song stepping into the Golden Core Realm subsequently increased greatly.

Under such circumstances, even a true Golden Elixir Master would not dare to risk offending two Golden Elixir Masters by taking action against He Song over trivial matters.

If He Song really entered the Golden Core Realm in a few years, wouldn’t it be unwise for others to offend a future Golden Elixir Master over minor issues?

Of course, He Song knew this as well.

If he did severely offend a Golden Elixir Master, he was aware that the other party might not hesitate to take action.

However, what did it matter?

He Song had merely concealed his cultivation, and his actual strength was still that of the Golden Elixir Realm.

He was not like those actual Foundation Establishment Masters who would be completely at the mercy of a Golden Elixir Master.

Moreover, such situations would not occur at an auction.

The present battles were nothing more than a contest of financial power.

Furthermore, He Song was not someone who could be easily pushed around.

Compared to ordinary Foundation Establishment Masters, He Song was like a hedgehog covered in thorns that had to be carefully approached.

Therefore, when facing something as important as the Green Leaf Elixir Collection, He Song had the ability to compete for it.

He would not be suppressed or bullied because of the difference in status.

Occupying the third private box was a symbol of He Song’s current status.

Following He Song’s bid, the outside world fell silent.

Not until a moment later did the crisp female voice that had previously bid break the silence.

“Private box number 33 bids 17,000 medium-grade spirit stones.”

As soon as these words were spoken, a clamor arose within the auction venue.

But soon, everyone’s gaze fell upon He Song’s number three private box.

They wanted to see how long the battle between private box number three and private box number 33 would last.

Although they might not be able to catch up with the Golden Elixir Masters or disciples of major sects in terms of status and cultivation, they could still watch the drama from the sidelines.

Even if the Golden Elixir Masters turned red with anger, it would not prevent these people from watching the spectacle unfold.

Perhaps this matter would be discussed by them for decades to come, to be told to other cultivators.

“Private box number three bids 18,000 medium-grade spirit stones.”

He Song continued to increase his bid without hesitation within the private box.

He was not sure exactly how valuable the Green Leaf Elixir Collection was, so he wouldn’t raise the price to the maximum in a single bid.

He could only follow the current bidding pattern, matching the increase on the other side, with each increase being only 1,000 medium-grade spirit stones.

Although an increase of 1,000 medium-grade spirit stones was already high, it wasn’t particularly huge for He Song and the female voice in private box number 33.

“Private box number 33 bids…”

“Private box number three bids…”

With each successive bid, the price of the Green Leaf Elixir Collection with an original reserve price of only 1,000 medium-grade spirit stones quickly rose to 20,000 medium-grade spirit stones.

Also, during the continuous increase, He Song learned the approximate value of the Green Leaf Elixir Collection from Master Yun Jing, who was beside him.

According to Master Yun Jing, the Green Leaf Elixir Collection contained numerous Golden Elixir Recipes.

Though they might not be of much use to ordinary Foundation Establishment Masters, they were extremely precious to Elixir refiners capable of refining spirit elixirs of the Golden Elixir Realm or large Golden Elixir forces.

Normally, the final bidding price for such jade slips at the Treasure Pavilion’s auction would be around 20,000 medium-grade spirit stones.

Compared to ordinary Golden Elixir techniques, the value of the Green Leaf Elixir Collection was even higher.

Now, He Song’s bid was reaching its peak.

If he continued to raise the price, he might as well go elsewhere and participate in other Immortal State auctions held every ten years.

Perhaps there, the auction prices for such items would be even lower.

It was because he knew about this that He Song gained some confidence in the pricing of the Green Leaf Elixir Collection.

After raising the price to 20,000 medium-grade spirit stones, He Song felt relieved.

If the person in private box number 33 didn’t particularly need the Green Leaf Elixir Collection, they probably wouldn’t compete with him for it anymore.

After all, if they continued, the benefactor would be someone else.

It was just a jade slip containing a few Golden Elixir recipes, and the price of 20,000 medium-grade spirit stones had almost reached its limit.

To keep increasing the price made no sense.

It would be better to compete for it at other auctions instead.

However, just as He Song finally breathed a sigh of relief, the crisp female voice from private box number 33 didn’t sound again for a long time.

After waiting for a while, the beautiful female cultivator hosting the auction realized that the competition was over and congratulated He Song on his success.

After successfully obtaining the jade slip, the Treasure Pavilion staff quickly delivered it into He Song’s hands.

He Song handed over the spirit stones and tucked the jade slip into his storage pouch.

“Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on obtaining the Green Leaf Elixir Collection.”

At his side, Master Yun Jing, who had witnessed He Song’s bidding process and the handover of the spirit stones, congratulated him.

Although she didn’t know why He Song wanted the Green Leaf Elixir Collection and why he had so many spirit stones on hand, she knew that as cultivators, they had secrets.
