Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

Chapter 832: Chapter 618 Pavilion Master Visits_1

And those monks who couldn’t afford the price in the first place naturally didn’t dare to speak rashly at this time.

They had not known He Song’s identity before.

They thought He Song’s cultivation was merely at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

It wouldn’t have mattered much to bid then.

After all, at the time, He Song hadn’t revealed his true cultivation level, and bidding among Foundation Establishment Cultivators was nothing significant.

But if He Song had clearly stated his identity,

by the time He Song spoke, participating in the contest for the cultivator’s Golden Core, his identity had automatically transformed from a Foundation Establishment True Person to a Golden Elixir Master.

A Golden Elixir Master was now bidding against other Masters.

How could those Foundation Establishment True Persons take part in it?

If they spoke at this time, they would likely offend He Song instantly, and also offend the other Golden Elixir Masters at the same time.

What would happen afterward was naturally unknown.

Under such circumstances, even after He Song had made his bid, no one followed for quite some time.

But the auction hall remained silent nonetheless.

Only that Foundation Establishment female monk from the Treasure Pavilion,

after seeing the situation continue like this, and after a long wait, finally spoke again.

“One hundred and sixty thousand mid-grade spirit stones for the first call.”

“One hundred and sixty thousand…”

The price of one hundred and sixty thousand mid-grade spirit stones was not too high,

but it wasn’t low either.

According to He Song’s previous guess, the price of a cultivator’s Golden Core was between one hundred and fifty thousand to two hundred thousand.

In such a case, and with the venue silent for so long,

it was naturally time to start the countdown to pressure other Golden Elixir Masters who were still hesitant.

The countdown was meant to prompt Masters who were still undecided to start bidding again.

And with the Foundation Establishment female monk from the Treasure Pavilion speaking,

those Golden Elixir Masters who had previously bid, raising the price of the cultivator’s Golden Core to one hundred and fifty thousand mid-grade spirit stones,

and who were then outbid to one hundred and sixty thousand mid-grade spirit stones by He Song after much hesitation, were now feeling extremely uncertain.

The fact that He Song could raise the price by ten thousand mid-grade spirit stones with his first bid demonstrated his definite determination to secure the cultivator’s Golden Core.

This action surely had the intention of scaring off other competitors,

but the simpler the method, the more practical it often is.

In this moment, nearly all the Golden Elixir Masters who had previously made bids were caught in hesitation.

Should they continue to bid,

the price might quickly be raised significantly.

If that happened, even if one secured the cultivator’s Golden Core, one might end up with a significant loss of spirit stones.

It might be better to wait and replace it with something else, like a demonic beast’s Beast Core.

If they didn’t continue to bid,

the cultivator’s Golden Core would likely soon fall into the hands of He Song.

Moreover, at this time, the female monk from the Treasure Pavilion had begun the countdown.

All these factors combined made the hesitation on their faces even more pronounced.

However,

when it came down to it, none of the Golden Elixir Masters spoke up again to raise the price further.

Once the female monk from the Treasure Pavilion finished her countdown, He Song smoothly secured the cultivator’s Golden Core.

But, when it came time for the exchange,

He Song encountered a rather unexpected figure in his private room.

“I am Shadow Fox, pleased to meet you, fellow Daoist.”

“May I know if the fellow Daoist will pay with spirit stones, or will you exchange it for other treasures?”

True Monarch Shadow Fox actually came in person to deliver the cultivator’s Golden Core that He Song had won to his private room.

And when He Song saw True Monarch Shadow Fox and the jade box in his hands containing the cultivator’s Golden Core,

he gradually came to a realization.

The place he was in was a gathering place for Foundation Establishment True Persons.

That is to say, although others saw him without a doubt as a Golden Elixir Master,

there was always a ‘what if.’

What if He Song’s identity was actually that of a person from a Foundation Establishment Clan that had existed for who knows how many years, rich in family treasures and spirit stones?

In the rash acquisition of such a treasure, one’s safety was naturally of utmost importance.

And now, that True Monarch Shadow Fox had come personally, even without bringing any other Treasure Pavilion monks,

it was likely that he didn’t want the details of this private room to be known to others and was done on purpose.

If only he knew what was happening inside this private room, then even if things were as he supposed, the inhabitants of the room would remain unharmed.

And if the occupant of the room had already reached the Golden Core Realm,

then his coming alone wouldn’t be considered disrespectful.

Perhaps this was the reason why True Monarch Shadow Fox had come in person, without bringing anyone else.

Moreover, when Shadow Fox spoke, he did not probe into He Song’s level of cultivation or make any attempts to test him, it seemed he was just here to complete the exchange.

Considering this,

the Treasure Pavilion’s protection of its guests was actually quite commendable.

Even the Golden Core Pavilion Master of a main Pavilion of the Treasure Pavilion would consider the customer’s situation to such an extent.

No wonder the Treasure Pavilion could stand unshaken in the Cultivation World for so long.

Of course, there was another explanation for this situation.

That was that True Monarch Shadow Fox didn’t want others to know the identity of the cultivator in this private room.@@novelbin@@
