Chapter 304: Chapter 304 - 302 Profound Origin Heavy Water !

Translator: 549690339

Several charms are attached all around the surface of the water tank, and within its sealed space, a merfolk over a half zhang* long floats on the water. The appearance of the merfolk resembles humans greatly, with perfect facial features. There are two shallow blue tear troughs under its eyes, which, on the contrary, add a touch of enchantment.

The body is beautiful, with a bulging chest armor sprouting from both sides of the ribs, and below the waist are tiny scales of alternating blue and white.

Although the water tank is huge, this merfolk is greatly constrained and struggles to change its direction. It lowers its head, trying hard to evade the stare of many cultivators in the venue.

This behavior only confirms its pitiful situation, causing many cultivators in the venue to have surges of blood and urging thoughts to protect or ravish it. “Purebred Merfolk, the starting bid is seven hundred fifty Spirit Stones!” The middle-aged cultivator declared.

“I bid nine hundred Spirit Stones!”

“One thousand Spirit Stones!”

The price was increasing rapidly and was over a thousand in a blink of an eye.

Lu Xuan just watched on coldly without the intention to bid.

If this merfolk was still young, he would have been somewhat interested, not for anything else, but simply because he wanted to raise it to maturity and obtain the White Light Group.

But the current merfolk, judging by the shape of its body, wasn’t far from full maturity. Spending a large number of spirit stones to buy and raise it wouldn’t be a good deal.

In the end, the merfolk was taken by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator for one thousand six hundred Spirit Stones – that’s the price of a third-grade Magic Artifact.

The auction continued.

The appearance of the merfolk stirred a small climax in the venue, and all the cultivators became much more enthusiastic, quickly buying all sorts of treasures at high prices.

A new item on the stage caught Lu Xuan’s attention.

A turtle egg the size of a washbasin. The surface of the egg is covered with a layer of grey-black rock, making it look extremely thick and sturdy.

“This is a Tier-3 Rockshell Turtle Egg. The hatched Rockshell Turtle is known for its defenses, which ordinary third rank magic weapons find hard to break through.”

“Startingbid, eight hundred Spirit Stones!”

“Eight hundred fifty.”

Lu Xuan casually added fifty Spirit Stones. It’s rare to see a Spirit Beast Egg of such a high rank, so he definitely didn’t want to miss it.

The small lake within the Sky Sword Sect only has a third rank Fire Separation Flood Dragon. It’s slightly empty, so it’s perfect for putting in more creatures to liven things up.

“Eight hundred and seventy spirit stones.”

A hoarse voice sounded, and Lu Xuan turned his head its direction. According to Song Yun’s earlier introduction, the owner of the voice was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator who had come from the nearby region to participate in the auction.

For many cultivators, Spirit Beast Eggs don’t hold much value. Only cultivators like Lu Xuan who primarily raise spirit beasts would think about bidding for it. “One thousand Spirit Stones.”

Lu Xuan immediately raised the bid to one thousand Spirit Stones, hoping to make the Foundation Establishment Cultivator back down.

“One thousand and twenty Spirit Stones.”

After hesitating for a moment, the hoarse voice chose to follow up, but the tone lacked confidence.

“One thousand one hundred Spirit Stones. I must have this Rockshell Turtle

Egg. If the honorable friend wants it, you can certainly raise the price.”

Lu Xuan said lightly.

This price was still within his affordable range. After all, the value of the Rockshell Turtle Egg is not just the egg itself, but more importantly, the abundant Light Cluster reward after it matures.

“This turtle egg belongs to you.”

The cultivator behind the hoarse voice felt Lu Xuan’s determination, weighed again and again, and although he knew that the Rockshell Turtle Egg was valuable, if he raised the price further, it would exceed its inherent value. Unable to proceed, he finally chose to give up.

“Thanks for your concession.”

Lu Xuan bowed his hands in the direction of the voice’s source.

The appearance of the Rockshell Turtle Egg was just a brief interlude, the treasures that appeared afterward didn’t particularly interest Lu Xuan.

“Today’s final three auction items, each one of them is a rare and valuable treasure.”

The middle-aged cultivator sitting below cleared his throat and announced loudly.

?[Translator Note: Zhang is an old Chinese unit of length that corresponds to approximately 3.58 meters.]

Amid the anticipation of the crowd, a clean white jade bottle was held carefully by a High-grade Qi Practitioner, who carefully made his way onto the stage.

“This white jade bottle was crafted from hundred-year-old ice jade and possesses an extraordinary carrying capacity.”

“Inside the bottle is our third prized item of the day: the Profound Origin Heavy Water.”

The middle-aged cultivator stated with a stern expression.

“It’s here.”

Lu Xuan sat up straight, his eyes shining as they focused intently on the unassuming white jade bottle below the stage.

The main reason of his visit was related to this three-tier Spiritual Liquid known as Profound Origin Heavy Water.

“Profound Origin Heavy Water, many of you should have heard of it. It’s a three-tier Spiritual Liquid with extremely high density. A single drop can penetrate stone,”

“Don’t underestimate the amount just because it’s in a small bottle. The Profound Origin Heavy Water within it weighs over a thousand catties. An ordinary Qi-Cultivator who has not practiced any body refinement techniques might get injured by this small bottle of Profound Origin Heavy Water.”

The middle-aged cultivator carefully took out a drop of pitch-black liquid from the small white jade bottle.

The liquid, under his control of spiritual energy, hovered in the air while spinning around.

“Profound Origin Heavy Water is an excellent material for body refinement and artifact refining. The starting price is one thousand and three hundred spirit stones!”

“One thousand and five hundred spirit stones!”

A well-built Qi Cultivation Perfection cultivator immediately upped the bid by two hundred spirit stones.

“One thousand and six hundred spirit stones.”

Lu Xuan refused to lag behind. This Profound Origin Heavy Water was his primary objective, and he couldn’t afford to lose it.

The Fifth Grade Dragon Bone Grass in the small lake was waiting to be nurtured by him!

The bidding grew louder as the price of the Profound Origin Heavy Water was quickly raised to one thousand and eight hundred spirit stones.

“One thousand and nine hundred spirit stones.”

A sharply featured female Foundation Establishment cultivator called out.

The price instantly daunted several Qi-cultivators. One thousand and nine hundred spirit stones could get a rare third rank magical weapon. Raising the price any further would be a significant burden for those who hadn’t advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage yet.

“Two thousand.”

Without any hesitation, Lu Xuan added one hundred.

“Two thousand one hundred spirit stones.”

An old, rotting voice rang out. It was the sinister old man from Chongning

Island, the one who was nearing the end of his life.

Upon noticing Lu Xuan’s intention to win the bottle of Profound Origin Heavy Water, he became interested in meddling.

“Two thousand four hundred spirit stones.”

Lu Xuan promptly declared his bid, seemingly without a trace of hesitation.

“Two thousand five hundred spirit stones, Friend Lu, I have a particular liking for this bottle of Profound Origin Heavy Water. Could you do me this favor?” Ning DeShan said with a gloomy smile.

“Two thousand seven hundred spirit stones!”

“How about it, Friend Ning? Do you want to purchase it to preserve your coffin even better?”

Lu Xuan discerned that Ning DeShan was trying to meddle and taunted the sinister old man with a smirk.

Initially, he had over eight thousand spirit stones, and from solving the Ning Family’s sea beast attacks, he received more than a thousand. After spending over a thousand to purchase the Rock-shell Turtle Egg, he had more than enough to buy the bottle of Profound Origin Heavy Water.

“Then the Profound Origin Heavy Water belongs to you, Friend Lu.”

Having met his objective of annoying Lu Xuan, Ning DeShan voluntarily gave up on bidding further.

“I should properly appreciate your decadence, Friend Ning.”

Even a weakling grows angry when pushed too hard. Lu Xuan was not at all pleased with the old man’s meddling.

“It seems that those Invisible Algae cast down are not enough. 1111 have to try even harder.”

He thought to himself and fiercely noted down Ning DeShan’s charge in a mental notebook.
