My Fairy Growth System

"Fellow Daoists, welcome to the Radiant Sun Pavilion auction house for the annual Radiant Sun Pavilion Auction. I am the auctioneer for this event, Liusheng Mian, and I hope everyone will give us your enthusiastic support,"

Half an hour later, Yu Qingtan, who had been closing her eyes in pleasure, opened them and looked down at the auction stage outside the window.

Seeing the auctioneer Liusheng Mian, Yu Qingtan actually felt "Wow, this guy is really handsome," reminding her of Brother Bao from her previous life.

"A face like the moon at Mid-Autumn, a complexion like the flowers of early spring, eyebrows like ink paintings, and eyes like the autumn waves," Yu Qingtan had a real appreciation for this description.

The voice of Liusheng Mian was soft and gently soothing, but it was just so pleasant to hear.

"Rour, what's the background of this Liusheng Mian?" Yu Qingtan, disguised as "Gou Dongxu," asked indifferently.

"Reporting to the Venerable, the Venerable Mian originally came from the slums as a loose cultivator. By sheer chance, he met the South Wind Ancestor of the Jias and skipped hundreds of years of struggle to reach the Venerable realm. He is now in the service of the Jias, enjoying great glory!"

Rour couldn't help expressing her admiration with even more charm in her voice, but "Gou Dongxu" remained unmoved.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The Jias are indeed the ruling family of Yaori Immortal City.

At that moment, a charming female cultivator walked out from behind the auction stage. She held a tray in her hands with a jade bottle on it and came to stand beside Venerable Mian.

Venerable Mian picked up the jade bottle, opened the stopper, and immediately a rich fragrance of elixirs filled the entire auction hall.

"The first item up for auction today is a Golden Core Formation Elixir with a starting bid of 10,000 Medium Grade Spirit Stones. Let's begin!" announced Venerable Mian's voice at the same time.

Instantly, the Foundation Establishment Cultivators below were wildly excited.

"Twenty thousand!"

"Twenty-four thousand!"

"Thirty thousand!"

...

The sound of bidding rose and fell in waves.

The temptation of the Golden Core Formation Elixir to Foundation Establishment Cultivators was fatal.

Normally, such treasures were beyond the reach of money.

Even in auction houses like those in Wendao Immortal City or Yaori Immortal City, Golden Core Formation Elixirs were not for sale.

To start the auction with a Golden Core Formation Elixir demonstrated that this was indeed a high-end event, which aroused even more anticipation in Yu Qingtan.

However, she wasn't participating in the auction; she still had four Golden Core Formation Elixirs lying in her System Space.

One was a gift from Ru Yao, one was a reward from the Nascent Soul ceremony of the Wendao Sect, one came from the Venerable Jiayin, Xu Jiayin, and another from Qian Yongduo.

Although she wouldn't mind having more Golden Core Formation Elixirs, the auction mark-up was too high—within just a dozen breaths, the price had reached a thousand top-grade Spirit Stones, and it was the Golden Core Cultivators in the private rooms who were bidding.

In the end, a Golden Core Cultivator bought the elixir for a staggering 1,300 top-grade Spirit Stones.

"The second item for auction is a bottle of Second Stage Elixir, the Sun Ascension Pill, with a starting bid of 100 Medium Grade Spirit Stones. Let's begin!"

This was an elixir used by Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators to practice their spells and improve their cultivation level, and it too sparked a frenzy among the Foundation Establishment Cultivators below.

This time, the Golden Core Cultivators did not bid.

As item after item was auctioned off, Yu Qingtan remained out of the bidding, causing Rour, who was by her side, to wonder if this Golden Core predecessor might be short on funds.

Of course, the main reason was that Yu Qingtan had no use for these auction items.

The cultivators from Star Moon Sect were adept at alchemy, and the foremost alchemist in the Southeast Region was the Star Moon Sect's Carrying Moon Venerable.

Therefore, nearly half of the auction items were elixirs, and since Yu Qingtan seldom used elixirs, she had no interest in the other auction items such as magical treasures, spells, talismans, and the like.

"Next, we have lot number one hundred sixty-six, a compendium of rare spiritual plants. Allegedly originating from the Central Domain, the starting bid is ten thousand medium grade spirit stones."

As Liusheng Mian's voice faded, the auction fell into a moment of silence before the voice of "Gou Dongxu" rang out.

"Ten thousand medium grade spirit stones!"

"Ten thousand medium grade spirit stones, is there anyone willing to bid higher?" After another moment of silence, Liusheng Mian inquired.

Still, no one placed a bid, primarily because the price was too high. Ordinary cultivators rarely encountered rare spiritual plants.

In the Hundred Treasures Pavilion in the Southeast Region, a 'Compendium of Spiritual Plants' could be bought with a single high-grade spirit stone, which nearly covered all the spiritual plants of the Southeast Region. As for those allegedly from the Central Domain, was that a place they could visit? And even if one could recognize the rare spiritual plants from the Central Domain, what use would that be?

For this reason, Yu Qingtan easily acquired this compendium of rare spiritual plants. This made Rou'er's eyes blaze with enthusiasm. It turned out this person had such deep pockets, willing to spend so many spirit stones on something no one else wanted.

...

"Lot number two hundred thirty-one, a pair of twin concubines at the early stage of Foundation Establishment. They require normal concubine treatment and are open only to cultivators within a ten-thousand-mile radius of power, starting bid is one thousand medium grade spirit stones."

At that moment, two beautiful female cultivators dressed in silk stockings and short skirts were brought up, and True Person Liusheng spoke.

Not only did the two female cultivators have identical faces, their figures were equally voluptuous; however, one flirtatiously winked towards the front, while the other looked straight ahead with an expressionless face.

"Such business exists here?" Yu Qingtan frowned.

"Senior, they are doing this by choice. Most of them come from a loose cultivator background with poor spirit roots. Without doing this, they simply could not reach the Foundation Establishment Stage. If they were lucky enough to find a good husband, they might enjoy a lifetime of happiness," Rou'er said, her voice somewhat somber as her situation was only slightly better than those being auctioned off.

"Senior, are you a local? Are you interested in bidding for them?" Perhaps because Yu Qingtan appeared approachable, Rou'er inquired, while boldly using her softness as a pillow for Yu Qingtan's head.

Her assets were, after all, more substantial than those of the twin sisters on the auction stage.

"I'm from out of town, so I won't bid," Yu Qingtan said.

Rou'er felt a tinge of disappointment, but she didn't leave, and Yu Qingtan didn't ask her to.

Soon after, the twin sisters on the stage were bought by a late-stage Foundation Establishment old man for a high price of thirteen thousand medium grade spirit stones, darkening the sisters' expressions, but they dared not show too much discontent.

"Lot number two hundred thirty-two, a pair of twin leading courtesans at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, also requiring normal courtesan treatment, open only to cultivators within a ten-thousand-mile radius of power, starting bid is five thousand medium grade spirit stones,"

At this point, two handsome young men dressed as scholars and with identical features were brought up.

Yu Qingtan thought to herself, goodness gracious, this place sure knows how to play! They sold the concubines first and now the courtesans. I wonder if they'll auction off goddaughters or godsons later.

In the end, a Golden Core early-stage female cultivator bought the handsome brothers for a hefty sum of twenty-seven thousand medium grade spirit stones.

Yu Qingtan didn't expect men to sell for even more, perhaps due to their rarity?

Fortunately, no more outrageous auctions followed. Indeed, thirty concubines but only ten courtesans went under the hammer.

During the auction, Yu Qingtan felt quite bored as she rested her head on Rou'er's soft pillow, using her divine sense to inspect the compendium of rare spiritual plants she had just acquired.
