Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

At this moment, Lin Tianming, despite his covetous desire, was powerless. He had a very limited number of spirit stones on him, and should he succeed in acquiring this item, he would become the target of envy for all cultivators. Among these bidding cultivators, there were surely many desperate individuals; facing their open attacks and hidden threats, he feared it would be difficult to safely return it to his clan. In such a situation, he could only stand by and watch as those frenzied cultivators vied for the Blood Crow Grass. In the venue, a bid had barely been announced when it was immediately replaced by a new one; the price of the Blood Crow Grass continued to climb, easily reaching as much as 140,000. Lin Tianming and Qin Xi watched, their blood boiling with excitement, unable to help but curse inwardly, "Are these people insane, do they think spirit stones are carried in by the wind!" Even though Lin Tianming had already experienced an auction of Gold Fruit, the auction for the Blood Crow Grass was even more intense than that of the Gold Fruit. Under the watchful eyes of the two, the final price of the Blood Crow Grass kept climbing, soon reaching more than 170,000, now nearly equal to the final price of the Gold Fruit. However, this time, there were many cultivators participating in the auction, and overall, their cultivation was impressive, with Foundation Establishment Late-Stage Cultivators being a dime a dozen. Under such circumstances, the final price of the Blood Crow Grass skyrocketed, quickly reaching 190,000 spirit stones, easily breaking the previous record. In the venue, there were still several cultivators vying for the item; each one was a Foundation Establishment Late-Stage Cultivator, and three had even reached the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection Realm, looking ready to make a bold move. As the bidding entered an intense phase, several cultivators put forth their utmost effort, each with a determination to win at all costs. They were very aware that if they missed this opportunity, the next chance would be hard to predict, perhaps three to five years away, or even more than a decade. However, they could not afford to wait! Knowing this well, the cultivators had no reservations; they were willing to spend nearly all their wealth to acquire the Blood Crow Grass. The fierce auction continued, everyone had become numb, all were focused on the final price of the Blood Crow Grass and who would take it home. A period for drinking a cup of tea passed by. With a bid of 210,000 spirit stones coming from a VIP room, the entire venue fell utterly silent, everyone gasping for breath, staggered beyond measure by the astounding price. Lin Tianming couldn't help but click his tongue, having thought his own wealth to be substantial, only to find that among Foundation Establishment Late-Stage Cultivators, someone had bid 210,000 for the Blood Crow Grass. Although his own entire wealth amounted to no less than 200,000, how could someone who could afford to spend 200,000 spirit stones at once be an unknown individual. Regaining his composure, he saw the person who had won the bid exchanging with Xue Chong, handing over a large number of spirit stones to obtain the Blood Crow Grass. As the final coveted treasure settled, the entire auction came to a close. On the stage, Xue Chong was ecstatic, the auction had been filled with treasures, and the final prices had repeatedly hit new highs, his own earnings were definitely not insignificant. Thinking of this, he was somewhat impatient to conclude the auction, eager to collect his earnings from the Market Hall. He managed to suppress the excitement within, bowing with his hands clasped towards the assemblage of cultivators, he began with some formal remarks, and then announced the successful conclusion of the auction. Subsequently, the cultivators from the public area began to stand up, chatting briefly with familiar cultivators before leaving the venue. Within the VIP room, Lin Tianming watched the departing crowd but did not leave immediately. After a period long enough to drink a cup of tea, with most of the cultivators from the venue having departed, Lin Tianming led Qin Xi out of the VIP room. At the entrance, the female cultivator responsible for guiding them stood respectfully, hurrying to greet them with flirtatious eyes as she saw Lin emerging. Lin was not stingy, casually handing over twenty spirit stones to the female cultivator, sending her on her way. The woman knew to take a hint; a one-time tip of twenty spirit stones was more than usual, and furthermore, the beautiful woman beside Lin had been staring at her, the slightest display of power making her heart tremble with fear. In such a case, she dared not linger, taking the spirit stones and vanishing from before them. Lin gave a wry smile and led Qin Xi deeper into the corridor, stopping in front of the innermost secret chamber. "Lin, is this the designated location for the exchange meeting?" Qin Xi asked. "Hmm..." Lin Tianming nodded and began to explain. "This place is different from those spontaneously organized exchange meetings; those who can participate in this kind of exchange meeting either have profound backgrounds or are among the mighty," he said. "Later, we should pay attention if there's anything particularly needed, and actively inquire whether it can be exchanged!" he added. "Hehe... I'm just here to join Lin for the excitement and to broaden my horizons!" Qin Xi said with a laugh. Lin Tianming didn't respond further, then sent a message. Soon, the chamber's restrictions opened, and he and Qin Xi stepped in together. Upon entering the secret chamber, there were already more than a dozen cultivators gathered inside, chatting. Many were acquaintances, all of whom had attended exchange meetings together before. Seeing Lin Tianming enter, those familiar cultivators all got up to greet with clasped fists from afar, being very cordial. Lin Tianming was affable as well, leading Qin Xi to reciprocate with clasped fists, returning greetings with Li Jiliang and a few perfunctorily polite cultivators.
