Chapter 372: Red Flame Grass

In the evening, before the auction began, a maid dressed in pink came over and led Qin Ming to the auction venue on the third floor.

"My Lord, this room is yours. I hope you are satisfied with it."

Qin Ming looked around the room. One side of the room was transparent, allowing him to overlook the entire auction venue and clearly see the items being auctioned.

However, the room was a bit narrow; it felt crowded even for one person.

Shaking his head, Qin Ming knew that if he hadn't claimed to be a Pill King, he probably wouldn't have been qualified to have this room based on the Medicinal Pills he had provided.

Although it was narrow, it was much better than the people sitting crowded together on chairs below.

"Then I will not disturb you, My Lord. If you need anything, please feel free to command me. I will be right outside." The maid bowed and exited the room.

Qin Ming sat on the chair, sipping tea while sensing the aura of the Martial Artists below.

The quality of the Martial Artists here was very high, much higher than the general auction venue on the second floor. Most were Martial Ancestors, a few were Martial Spirits, and there was only one Martial King.

Perhaps there were other Martial Kings inside the rooms, but Qin Ming did not use his Minds Eye to check the other rooms. After all, using his Minds Eye to probe at will was very impolite.

After finishing one cup of tea, Qin Ming poured another. At this moment, the auction began.

A woman in her twenties walked onto the stage and said with a charming smile, "Welcome to the Yan City Auction House. I am the lead Auctioneer for this auction."

"First, we are auctioning a sixth-grade treasure sword. Martial Kings who use swords should take note! This treasure sword was personally crafted by Great Master Xuan and is a masterpiece among sixth-grade treasure swords. You are all aware of the quality of weapons crafted by Great Master Xuan. The starting price is 50,000 High-Grade Spirit Stones."

"60,000." As soon as the Auctioneer finished speaking, a voice called out.

Qin Ming looked at the treasure sword. It was indeed a masterpiece among sixth-grade swords, but even as a masterpiece, it was not worth 60,000 High-Grade Spirit Stones. It was likely the effect of the so-called Great Master Xuan's reputation.

60,000 High-Grade Spirit Stones were equivalent to 6,000,000 Medium Grade Spirit Stones, which was equivalent to 600,000,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

The higher the rank of a treasure, the more its value increased exponentially; some treasures could not even be measured by Spirit Stones, such as a ninth-grade elixir.

In his previous life, the ninth-grade elixirs that Qin Ming refined were never sold for Spirit Stones, nor had he ever heard of anyone selling a ninth-grade elixir for Spirit Stones.

Generally, the ninth-grade elixirs Qin Ming refined were mainly for exchange, usually traded for Cultivation Techniques, spirit plants, treasures, and so on.

This resulted in Qin Ming's collection of Cultivation Techniques and treasures piling up like a mountain. Therefore, in this life, Qin Ming knew many Cultivation Techniques, and the ones he took out for the Sect to Cultivate were all top-tier Heaven Grade Cultivation Techniques and Spirit Skills.

Amidst the competition of the crowd, this treasure sword crafted by Great Master Xuan was eventually sold for 83,000 Medium Grade Spirit Stones.

"Next to be auctioned are ten stalks of seventh-grade spirit plant, Red Flame Grass. Not only can this seventh-grade spirit plant Red Flame Grass be used for Alchemy to refine precious seventh-grade elixirs, but if one can refine a perfect stage seventh-grade elixir, you could immediately make a hundredfold profit," the Auctioneer joked.

Qin Ming's eyes lit up. This Red Flame Grass was exactly what he needed. Besides being an auxiliary ingredient for the heart mending pill, it could also be used to refine healing pills.

"Hahaha… How could anyone refine a perfect elixir? Unless a Pill Saint takes action, there is only a tiny possibility," a Martial Artist laughed loudly.

This Martial Artist was the only Martial King in the audience.

"Of course, even if this seventh-grade spirit plant is consumed directly, it can increase the speed of Cultivation," the Auctioneer said. "Even if consumed directly, this seventh-grade spirit plant is priceless. If preserved well, it could completely serve as a Family heirloom for a Family. You should all know its specific uses, so let the auction begin. The starting price is 60,000 High-Grade Spirit Stones."

"70,000!" Qin Ming spoke up.

"71,000." As soon as Qin Ming finished speaking, a voice came from a room next door.

Very quickly, the price of the Red Flame Grass was raised to 80,000 Spirit Stones.

"90,000." Qin Ming said indifferently.

"90,000 going once, 90,000 going twice, sold." The Auctioneer dropped the gavel. "Congratulations on obtaining the Red Flame Grass. Now, let's begin with the next item…"

A moment later, a knock was heard at Qin Ming's door.

"Come in," Qin Ming said.

The maid in pink standing outside the door walked in carrying a tray, on which sat a jade box and a ring.

"This is the Red Flame Grass you just won at auction."

Qin Ming opened the jade box, glanced at the Red Flame Grass inside, put it into his space ring, picked up the ring in the middle of the tray, and placed 90,000 High-Grade Spirit Stones inside it.

The maid checked the ring, picked up the tray, bowed, and left.
