He had obtained a few immortal roots in the Nine Desolations, but there were none in the Upper Nine Heavens. This was really too strange.
"So that's how it is."
Jiang Fann was well aware of the difficulty of refining immortal herbs. Even now, he was unable to truly reach the level of turning stone into gold. Without enough perfect materials, it would be very difficult to refine a high quality pill.
Although he was not clear why the Upper Nine Heavens was so different, there was one thing that he was sure of. He could not reveal the things in his Spiritual Treasure of Fairyland. Otherwise, he would most likely be in great danger.
The final price of this emperor-rank Spiritual Treasure of Fairyland was 670,900 Heavenly Coins. This price was indeed outrageously high, but this Spiritual Treasure of Fairyland was indeed very rare.
Fang Xiang smiled bitterly and said, "Even if I sold myself, I wouldn't be able to afford this Spiritual Treasure of Fairyland."
Jiang Fann smiled and said, "Then you have underestimated yourself. No matter how good this thing is, it's just a Spiritual Treasure of Fairyland. With your talent, breaking through is only a matter of time. Its value is far above this thing."
"Unfortunately, the Upper Nine Heavens doesn't lack geniuses, and the Great World is even more so. Treasures have value no matter when. After all, many materials are very difficult to find."
Jiang Fann said, "It's just a Spiritual Treasure of Fairy. It's nothing at all. You can obtain it during your experiential training. After all, under the long river of time, how can cultivators resist the erosion of time? After all, so many ancient almighty figures could only leave behind their inheritance relics. Who can stay alive forever? All of these things are cheap for the later generations …"
The two of them were chatting when the second treasure was taken out from the stage. It was also a Spiritual Treasure, and its quality was similar to the previous one. It emitted a strong aura.
After the woman introduced the information of this Spiritual Treasure, the auction immediately began. A few cries sounded out, and it soon reached a sky-high price.
Jiang Fann, who was originally here to watch the show, was very calm. He was not affected at all. On the other hand, Fang Xiang's face was filled with envy. It was obvious that he was also looking forward to a high-quality Spiritual Treasure.
At this moment, Jiang Fann took out the spiritual stone he exchanged with the old man at the stall. Fang Xiang was very curious about this purple spiritual stone. Because from his understanding of Jiang Fann, he would definitely not exchange this spiritual stone for nothing and the region where it was produced.
Fang Xiang said directly, "Previously, he was so mysterious. No one would eavesdrop here. What is so special about this spiritual stone?"
Jiang Fann said, "This is a type of accompanying ore. This thing itself can only be considered a Spiritual Stone with special Spiritual Strength. Its value is not high, but this thing is born with immortal gold. In other words, the place where the old man collected this spiritual stone is definitely extraordinary. If we find a chance, we should go there and take a look. Who knows, we might be able to gain something. That old man should know something, otherwise, he wouldn't need to send people to follow us."
"The person following us was sent by that drunkard?"
Jiang Fann looked at the crowd on the first floor and smirked.
"Probably."
Looking in the direction of Jiang Fann's gaze, a young man was looking around, obviously looking for someone.
However, Fang Xiang recognized this person at first glance, because this person had been following them the whole time yesterday.
"Do you want me to find someone to investigate his identity? Wang Bo still has some ability."
Jiang Fann said, "There is no need to waste time on him. He is just a lackey. After the auction is over, you and I will use a secret technique to disguise ourselves and leave. He won't have the chance to follow us."
"Alright. After you settle your matter, I'll take some time to investigate."
After saying that, Fang Xiang used the spiritual jade to display the image in his mind. It was just like how someone had sold Jiang Fann's whereabouts to the Nine Heavens Pavilion. It seemed that Fang Xiang was not someone to offend.
Fang Xiang continued, "If that drunkard knew the value of the spiritual stone, why didn't he take the immortal gold away and instead sold it?"
"He might know something, but it won't be that easy to find a Companion of Immortal gold. That guy probably did it on purpose and sent people to investigate. If it wasn't for your identity as a member of the Heaven Pavilion, that guy might have done it himself."
"Elder Brother Jiang can find the location of the immortal gold?"
Jiang Fann shook his head and said, "I have to try my luck there. If there's a chance, you can come with me. If there's any harvest, I'll give you a share."
"Then it's a deal! I won't go back even if my master asks me to."
As the two of them were talking about the immortal gold, a few items had been sold on the auction stage. All of them were extremely expensive, and it was difficult for Jiang Fann to be interested in them. After all, Jiang Fann had already seen the auction booklet, and he had come with a goal today.
When the treasure was brought up, Fang Xian reminded Jiang Fann, "The thing you want is here."
The crimson red metal was like a ball of flames half a meter in diameter, and it was emitting a scorching aura.
Before Jiang Fann could say anything, the Universe Furnace that had been silent for a long time suddenly spoke.
"This immortal gold is too rare. If I can add it to my body, the power of my True Samadhi Fire will increase by 30%."
As soon as the Universe Furnace finished speaking, he heard the God Slaying Saber say, "This piece of immortal gold is so big that it can help me recover a lot. It's much better than using it on the pill furnace!"
"Nonsense! You won't understand what it means to increase the power of the True Samadhi Fire by 30%. Master is an alchemist, and the Fire Arts have a great meaning to him."
The God Slaying Saber did not want to be outdone when he heard him say that.
"He is already an immortal herb master, and the next thing to do is to increase his own combat strength. It's far more important to use it to repair my injuries than giving it to you..."
The Martial God Token tried to mediate the situation.
"You two don't need to argue anymore. You saw it just now. The Nine Heavens Coins on Master's body might not be enough to pay for the price. You won't be able to get it at all."
The Universe Furnace felt a little helpless after hearing this, so it stopped arguing with the God-Slaying Saber.
The God-Slaying Saber said, "Why don't we just auction that furnace here? It will definitely fetch a good price. With Master's current alchemy skills, there's no difference between him and us!"
The Universe Furnace: "You...!"
Jiang Fann said, "Alright, you two don't need to say so much. This treasure is indeed not something that I can bid for. However, I can give it a try. After all, I still have some valuable things on me."
The woman on the auction stage injected her Spiritual Strength into the Immortal Gold. The Immortal Gold's scorching aura became even stronger, causing the cultivators on the first floor to cry out in surprise.
"This Immortal Gold was brought back by a great figure from our Nine Heavens. I don't know what kind of item it is, but such a size can be used to forge a Divine Weapon. Even if it has not been refined yet, it can already release a power that is not weaker than a King Rank Spiritual Treasure. I don't need to explain anything else. The starting price is 1,999 Heaven Coins. The auction begins now."
As the woman hammered the hammer, a voice sounded from the top floor.
"One thousand!"
This voice was affected by the barrier of the array formation. It was impossible to tell if it was a man or a woman, old or young. However, after this voice sounded, the entire auction hall immediately became quiet, as if time had stopped for a moment.
Jiang Fann and Fang Xian, who were beside him, frowned and remained silent.
Jiang Fann looked out of the window and realized that the cultivators on the first floor did not have any intention of bidding. They all sat quietly in their chairs.
"Do you think you can mess with them?"
Fang Xian said, "Most of the people who can go to the fifth floor don't dare to offend them. They also rarely participate in auctions. I didn't expect to meet someone who actually participated this time."
Jiang Fann smiled and said, "You want to take it away with just a thousand?"
Fang Xian said, "If no one bids, you can take it away, but the seller won't just let it go, right? Unless..."
"Unless what?"
"Unless the owner of the immortal gold is not here and just left it here to be auctioned off by the chamber of commerce."
The woman frowned. She did not want this priceless immortal gold to be taken away by someone else, but she looked around and saw that the cultivators on the first floor had no intention of bidding.
The woman waited for a while and then said, "Could it be that no one wants this treasure today? My chamber of commerce has always been fair and just. If no one bids after the countdown, then the treasure will be taken away by the Lord of the fifth floor."
However, she looked at the cultivators on the first floor again and still did not hear any response.
No one on the other floors said anything, which showed how shocking the status of the fifth floor was.
"Ten!"
"Nine!"
"Eight..."
The woman began to count down, and the scene became silent.
Fang Xian didn't say a word. Seeing this, Jiang Fann immediately activated the array formation on the window.
"Two thousand!"
Fang Xian turned his head to look at Jiang Fann, and his eyes revealed a look of surprise. He obviously didn't expect Jiang Fann to suddenly bid.
"You..."
The first floor was also in an uproar. It was obvious that no one had expected someone to actually bid.
The woman revealed a smile on her face, "Now that someone has bid, the auction will continue..."
Fang Xian opened his mouth and said, "Elder Brother Jiang, are you really not afraid of causing trouble for yourself? That guy on the fifth floor is definitely not a big shot of the Decimating Heaven Dynasty. Otherwise, this thing wouldn't have appeared in this auction. If it was a big shot from another place, he would be sitting in the room on the fifth floor, and his status would definitely not be below the royal family. Offending them is not a good thing."
Jiang Fann laughed, "Are you afraid?"
When Fang Xian heard this, his eyebrows twitched.
"I'm the manager of the Heaven Pavilion after all. What's there to be afraid of? I'm just worried about you. I'm not afraid of being targeted by others."
Jiang Fann's bid obviously surprised the buyer on the fifth floor. After a while, he continued to bid.
"Five thousand!"
Under Fang Xian's surprised gaze, Jiang Fann activated the array formation again.
"Six thousand!"
The cultivators on the first floor started to discuss. This time, Jiang Fann didn't hesitate at all and didn't give the other party any face.
Just as everyone was discussing, another bid came from the fifth floor.
"Ten thousand!"
"Ten thousand one..."
Jiang Fann's bid was very low, and from the outsiders' point of view, it was as if he was deliberately picking a fight.
Fang Xian was also shaking his legs at the side.
"Can you raise the price a little higher and end it earlier?"
