Global Cultivation: First-time Top-up for the Ultimate Destiny Treasure

The competition for the Dao-grade mystic condensing pill was extremely fierce among those aristocratic families.

Almost every increase in the price was made by people from aristocratic families. Those who were not from the top aristocratic families only participated in the increase twice.

Gradually, the price of the Dao-grade mystic condensing pill had reached nearly 2,500 low-grade spirit stones.

Now, it was almost time to bid.

“Li family, bid 2,500 low-grade spirit stones! Does anyone else want to bid?!”

Below the stage, Nie Ling appeared quite excited. She had never imagined that a Dao-grade mystic condensing pill could be auctioned off for such a sky-high price.

Although her Nie family only charged a fee of two points, this pill was auctioned off by Su Yi, which was enough to make her happy.

. 

“2,500 low-grade spirit stones from the Li family, going once.”

“2,500 low-grade spirit stones from the Li family, going twice.”

“2,500 low-grade spirit stones from the Li family, sold!”

In the end, the Dao-grade pill fell into the hands of the Li family.

In the auction hall, almost everyone held their breaths as they waited for the final item.

“Fellow Daoists, today’s auction is coming to an end. Now, please bring out our final item.”

“Precious ape wine. After drinking a jar, the effect of cultivation will permanently + 10…”

“Little girl of the Nie family, cut the crap. We are not ignorant people. Let’s start the auction.”

The one who interrupted Nie Ling’s explanation was an elder of the Lu family. The Lu family head only gave him 15,000 low-grade spirit stones. The Dao-grade mystic condensing pill had obviously exceeded that value.

Therefore, he had given up at that time. It would be better to fight for the ape wine with all his might.

“Cough, alright. Since the guests of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion can’t wait any longer, then let’s start the bidding. The starting price is 10,000 low-grade spirit stones, and there is no limit to the increase.”

“10,500 low-grade spirit stones.”

The Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion took the lead to raise the price by 500.

“My Yue family offers 11,000 low-grade spirit stones.”

“My Chang family offers 11,500 low-grade spirit stones.”

With just a few raised bids, that small amount was already close to the price of the Dao-grade mystic condensing pill.

However, this was only the beginning.

“My Li family offers 12,000 low-grade spirit stones.”

…

Inside the private room, Su Yi’s mood was already in a chaotic state.

Although Nie Ling had told him about the approximate price, he did not expect that a single mystic condensing pill could be auctioned off for 2,500 low-grade spirit stones. In other words, it was 2,500,000 yuan.

Moreover, he also did not expect that the price of the ape wine could be raised to such a high level all of a sudden.

In another heaven-ranked private room, a middle-aged man with countless expensive accessories and a rosary in his hand was looking at the private room where Su Yi was located. He slightly raised his head and said to the person behind him.

“Go.”

“Yes.”

With a word of acknowledgment, the person behind him walked out of the box.

After a short interlude, the bid for the ape wine had already reached 14,000 low-grade spirit stones.

It was as if all the great families were already red-eyed. No matter what, they had to bid for a treasure today.

However, in the Li family’s box.

The Li family head did not follow the bid. He already had a Dao-grade mystic condensing pill in his hand. He only had about 14,000 low-grade spirit stones left with him after that purchase. He was hesitating whether or not to follow the current bidding.

After thinking for a moment, his lips moved, and he raised his placard.

“Li family, bid 14,100 low-grade spirit stones.”

This was the Li family’s final limit. If they won the bid, then it would be best. If they could not, then they would let it be.

“Mengxi, this is the best I can do.”

He looked at Li Mengxi and said indifferently. As the Li family’s current genius and his own daughter, how could he not do his best to nurture her?

“It’s fine, father. Having that Dao-grade mystic condensing pill is already enough.”

…

At the end of the auction, the final price was 14,500 low-grade spirit stones, which was obtained by the Thousand Treasures Pavilion. The Thousand Treasures Pavilion could be said to be desperate and would raise the bid no matter what.

The final auction item ended, and the people in the venue began to slowly leave. Nie Ling did not even change her clothes, and her footsteps were cheerful as she walked towards Su Yi’s private room.

Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks. Her expression turned cold as she looked at the person in front of the private room

“What is the head shopkeeper of the Thousand Treasures Pavilion doing in front of my Nie family’s private room? Could it be that he is doing something shameful?”

This head shopkeeper of the Thousand Treasures Pavilion was the person who had secretly left the heaven-ranked private room previously. When he arrived at Su Yi’s private room, he knocked on the door.

He wanted to try to coax some information out of the person inside, and to learn about his background. However, he did not expect that the person inside to ignore him.

Just as he wanted to take a step forward, Nie Ling came up.

He did not want to be accused of stealing, so he explained, “Miss Nie, please don’t misunderstand. I just want to visit the distinguished guests in this room.”

“I’m sorry, Outsiders are not welcome here. Please go back, head shopkeeper.”

Nie Ling cupped her fists. She did not expect the Thousand Treasures Pavilion to send a head shopkeeper directly. It seemed that they were very eager to know Su Yi’s identity.

The head shopkeeper thought for a while and still struggled to ask, “then, Miss Nie, can you tell us the honorific title in the private room?”

Nie Ling’s gaze became even colder.

“I’m sorry, head shopkeeper. In our line of work, we don’t divulge the information of our guests. You should understand this point.”

“I’ll take my leave.”

Knowing that there was no point in pushing the matter, the plump head shopkeeper slowly left.

After the head shopkeeper had left, Nie Ling stepped into the room.

She looked at Su Yi, who was still in a daze, and softly called out.

“Fellow Daoist Su, I’m back.”

Her gentle voice and her faint scent were quite seductive as she called out to Su Yi.

Only then did Su Yi pull his attention back to reality. When he focused his eyes, was surprised to find that Nie Ling was standing in front of him. She had yet to change her clothes, and they appeared slightly moist with her sweat.

Moreover, the distance between them was extremely close, causing Su Yi’s breathing to quicken.

He hurriedly turned his head away and said somewhat awkwardly, “cough, the auction, the auction is over.”

Seeing his appearance, the corners of Nie Ling’s mouth curled up into a faint smile. A shrewd light flashed in her eyes as she deliberately approached him and said.

“Yes, your medicinal pills and ape wine were auctioned off for a total of 18,550 low-grade spirit stones. After that, the auction house will deduct 2 points, making it 18,119. I’ll make the decision. I’ll give you 18,300 low-grade spirit stones. If converted into money, it’ll be 18,300,000 yuan.”

“Hiss–”

After hearing the specific number, Su Yi could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. 18,000,000! Although the truly large clans would not consider this a large sum, for a qi condensation realm cultivator, it might take more than ten years of accumulation.

He looked at Nie Ling, his gaze was somewhat worried.

“You won’t be punished by the clan for doing this, right?”

Nie Ling smiled and said when she heard his concerned tone.

“I won’t. You’re an honored guest of our Nie clan now, so it’s fine to give you some convenience.”

“Phew… that’s fine then.”

He was just afraid that Nie Ling would get into trouble for erasing a point of commission.

“Fellow Daoist Su, will you still stay in Shangyang City after today?”

After hearing Nie Ling’s words, he paused and said, “I don’t think so. In the great desolate central plains, the Tiandao sect is opening a disciple recruitment competition. I’m going to participate.”

In order to become stronger, he had to go to a bigger world and a bigger stage.

Currently, Shangyang City was just a small place to him. With the help of the gift bags store, he would definitely be able to go to a bigger region.

The Central Plain’s Tiandao sect competition was a turning point.

Unexpectedly, Nie Ling suddenly laughed.

“Fellow Daoist Su, are you willing to take me with you to the central plains?”

Hearing this, Su Yi was startled. Could it be that this girl was also going to the central plains?

Looking at his slightly surprised expression, Nie Ling was like a little girl as she paced back and forth in the room, speaking in a gentle voice.

“My father wants me to represent the Nie family to expand the business in central plains. While I am there, I should also participate in the disciple recruitment competition of the Tiandao sect.”

Su Yi looked at her with a strange gaze. There was no problem with representing the Nie family to develop the business, but this disciple recruitment competition…

Feeling his untrusting gaze, Nie Ling placed her hands on her hips and said.

“What, you don’t believe me?”

A faint aura was released.

Su Yi revealed an astonished expression. He did not expect Nie Ling to actually have the strength of the late stage of the qi condensation realm!
