Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 568 - 286: Candle Dragon Saliva (2)

"Currently, this Candle Dragon Saliva can only be consumed and refined by demon beasts that do not fear evil Qi, in order to have some effect."

The auctioneer spoke unhurriedly, continuing with a calm demeanor, "That’s precisely why our sect decided to put it up for public auction."

"Although it can only be used by demon beasts, even so, it can significantly nourish the foundation of demon beasts and enhance their vitality."

"It adds a precious chance for demon beasts to break through to the fourth rank transformation realm."

"Consider this, if your carefully nurtured spirit pet is fortunate enough to break through to the fourth rank with this, it would undoubtedly be a once-in-a-lifetime grand opportunity!"

"In the long journey of searching for spiritual objects for Nascent Soul formation in the future, it will surely seize the initiative and occupy all advantages."

The auctioneer was all smiles, his words filled with enticing intentions, attempting to once again stir the fiery desires in everyone’s hearts. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Upon hearing his analysis, everyone felt there was some truth to it.

Thus, the originally deadened heart rekindled a hint of fervor.

And at this moment, Xu Ping, who was initially disappointed, also felt his spirits lift.

Although he couldn’t use the Candle Dragon Saliva himself, he could give it to the Aqua Lake Rat.

The Aqua Lake Rat originally had great potential, and if it could consume and refine this item, the chance of breaking through to the fourth rank transformation would increase a fewfold.

"I must do my best to win it!"

Xu Ping quickly made up his mind.

This auction of Candle Dragon Saliva was conducted in a sealed-bid format; bidders had to write down the items they would use for the bidding on a jade slip.

Xu Ping squinted slightly, and after a moment of contemplation, he carefully wrote on the jade slip:

Ten third-rank upper-grade talismans, fifteen third-rank middle-grade talismans.

For a formidable Nascent Soul sect like the Hundred Bamboo Sect, third-rank middle to upper-grade talismans were undoubtedly crucial strategic resources, and the more, the better.

Xu Ping believed that with the talismans he offered, he should be able to successfully acquire the Candle Dragon Saliva.

After all, the efficacy of the Candle Dragon Saliva today was not as potent as before; it primarily strengthened the foundation and vitality of demon beasts.

It was no longer the rare treasure that directly assisted the transformation of fourth rank demon beasts, and its value had already significantly depreciated compared to its original complete efficacy.

After writing his bid on the jade slip, there was a long wait.

About half an hour later.

"Dong!"

The door of the box was gently knocked.

"Come in!"

Xu Ping said in a deep voice.

"Creak."

The door in the box opened automatically, and a Golden Core Perfection cultivator entered with two other cultivators.

"It seems... my luck is good." Xu Ping’s lips curled into a slight smile.

"Congratulations, fellow Daoist, for winning the first prize and successfully acquiring this treasure."

"To tell the truth, during this bidding process, several fellow Daoists offered bids that piqued our sect’s interest as well."

"However, after careful consideration, our sect ultimately chose you..."

The Golden Core Perfection cultivator clapped his hands.

One of the cultivators behind him quickly stepped forward with a quaint and elegant tray, on which the bottle of Candle Dragon Saliva, emitting a faint glow, was quietly placed.

Seeing this, Xu Ping immediately released his divine sense and thoroughly examined the bottle of Candle Dragon Saliva.

After a moment, he nodded: "This is indeed Candle Dragon Saliva."

"Since that’s the case, let’s proceed with the transaction." Xu Ping said, with a flick of his sleeve.

In the blink of an eye, over twenty talismans filled with spiritual power appeared on the table.

After a careful inspection, the Golden Core Perfection cultivator nodded in satisfaction, saying: "No problem, the transaction is successfully completed."

Afterwards, he left the box with the two cultivators.

...

The atmosphere in the auction hall remained as fervent as ever.

"The Candle Dragon Saliva has been successfully auctioned off..."

With the completion of the transaction between Xu Ping and the Hundred Bamboo Sect, the auctioneer, with a meaningful smile, glanced around the venue and loudly announced this news.

"It has been auctioned off?"

"Who on earth won it?"

"It must be one of those Golden Core cultivators on the third floor!"

...

On the first floor of the venue, many Foundation Establishment cultivators, upon hearing this news, immediately started whispering to each other, with discussions flaring up.

At this moment, inside a box on the third floor, Xiang Hong’s expression turned extremely unpleasant.

He never expected that he would fail to acquire the Candle Dragon Saliva!

He had offered a rather valuable item for this auction.

Originally, he was sure of victory, but the final result was far beyond his expectation.

"Could it be Gu Yuntao?"

A flash of cold light crossed Xiang Hong’s eyes, and a chilling aura quietly spread.

In the entire Wind Country, there were not many who could compete financially with the Hundred Bamboo Sect, and Gu Yuntao was one of them.

Along with the enmity between the two parties, he naturally pointed his suspicion toward him.

"Up next is the climax of this auction, the most heavyweight item—the quasi-fourth rank Soul Nourishing Wood!"

The auctioneer’s voice was full of passion and excitement, pulling Xiang Hong back to reality from his contemplation.

This moment, two late-stage Golden Core cultivators escorted a delicate box to the center of the auction hall.

Next, a late-stage Golden Core cultivator opened the box, and a Soul Nourishing Wood, emitting a soft glow, appeared before the crowd.

"Even if it’s true that Gu Yuntao won the Candle Dragon Saliva, I want to see what he uses to compete for this quasi-fourth rank Soul Nourishing Wood!"

Xiang Hong’s eyes were firmly fixed on the quasi-fourth rank Soul Nourishing Wood in the center of the hall, a cold smile appearing on his lips.

"It’s finally here!"

Meanwhile, in another box, Gu Yuntao, who was originally lounging, instantly sat up straight.

His eyes were tightly focused on the quasi-fourth rank Soul Nourishing Wood in the center of the hall, a flame-like glow of expectation flickering in his eyes.
