Hearing the other party's words, Qin Feng understood that this stone was priceless and a rare treasure, otherwise, his usually amiable face would not have turned so ferocious.
Thinking of this, Qin Feng became even more determined to obtain this stone. Therefore, he said, "A mere hundred thousand spirit stones are not enough to force me to mortgage the treasures of the Qingxuan Sect. I have many useless items on me, and I was just looking to exchange them for some money to buy this stone. It couldn't be more suitable. If Sect Master Liu wants me to withdraw from this bidding, you can give me 500,000 spirit stones. Otherwise, I will keep raising the price. You won't be able to take this treasure away for less than 500,000."
Upon hearing this, everyone present was astonished. 500,000 spirit stones was a very large sum of money, and no one present could afford it. Unless they exchanged their sect's most treasured artifacts for spirit stones, a sect's daily income would likely not be able to accumulate 500,000 spirit stones in hundreds of years.
Qin Feng's words were too impactful, leaving the Sect Master Liu of the Joyous Union Sect somewhat stunned. He said, "If you can truly produce 500,000 spirit stones, then I will no longer bid. This stone belongs to you."
Hearing this, Qin Feng was not one to dally. He looked at the auction house president and said, "Where is the elder responsible for appraising treasures? I want him to help me appraise the value of the few treasures I have on me. Let's see if they are worth 500,000 spirit stones."
Upon hearing this, the auction house president immediately nodded and said, "I will have him come up to appraise them for you on the spot!"
Qin Feng waved his hand and said, "Wealth should not be flaunted. I have many treasures on me and do not wish for others to see them."
Hearing this, the auction house president immediately nodded and said, "That is no problem. We have a secret door at our auction house specifically for appraising treasures. Within that secret chamber, even those with heaven-defying strength cannot sense what is happening inside. You can rest assured. I will lead you there now."
After saying this, the auction house president made a gesture of invitation, and Qin Feng stood up and followed him out. Before leaving, Qin Feng said to the little girl, "Wait for me here, I'll be right back!"
The little girl was happily eating, with half of her snacks still remaining. Hearing this, she nodded and said, "Okay."
Thus, Qin Feng followed the auction house president to the secret chamber and took out some of the useless treasures from his storage ring, having them appraised one by one.
Qin Feng originally thought that these treasures would not be worth much in this world. He had already planned to buy Dragon's Saliva Incense from the shop to exchange for spirit stones. However, when the appraiser glanced at the treasures he took out, his eyes widened. A seemingly ordinary D-class weapon was considered a rare spiritual weapon in the eyes of the auctioneer, worth 100,000 spirit stones!
As for the C-class protective armor, it was also a rare spiritual armor in this world, which could only be crafted by high-level artifact refiners with the assistance of spiritual energy from heaven and earth. A C-class armor was worth 300,000 spirit stones.
In this way, Qin Feng took out five items, and their total value already exceeded one million.
The auction house president was dumbfounded, and Qin Feng was also bewildered. He had not expected the items obtained from the beginner's gift pack to be so valuable in this world. These were only C-class and D-class items. If they were A-class or B-class, their value would be even more terrifying. S-class and SSS-class treasures would surely be priceless.
Qin Feng now had a new understanding of the treasures he possessed. They were all very valuable, and he no longer had to worry about money in this world.
Not long after, Qin Feng returned to the main hall with the auction house president.
At this moment, the Sect Master of the Evil Sect and the Sect Master of the Joyous Union Sect both looked at the auction house president. The Sect Master of the Evil Sect asked, "Did he mortgage and sell all of Qingxuan Sect's most treasured artifacts? Otherwise, where would he get so many spirit stones?"
The Sect Master of the Joyous Union Sect also said with a smile, "As a renowned great sect, Qingxuan Sect should have many treasures. They wouldn't take out their most treasured artifacts. However, I think Qingxuan Sect's assets must have been almost entirely sold off. To spend such a great price for a useless stone and a low-level treasure to improve disciples' cultivation, today has truly been an eye-opener."
Qin Feng smiled and said nothing. The auction house president looked at the two and said, "The Sect Master of Qingxuan Sect did indeed take out many treasures, but none of them were Qingxuan Sect's most treasured artifacts, nor were any of them Qingxuan Sect's treasures. Our elder responsible for appraisal is very certain that these items do not belong to Qingxuan Sect. They are priceless. The Sect Master of Qingxuan Sect just took out a few items, and after our elder's appraisal, they can be exchanged for one million spirit stones."
Upon hearing this, everyone present was shocked.
The Sect Master of the Evil Sect slammed the table and said, "How is this possible? What kind of treasures are so valuable that they can be exchanged for one million spirit stones! And they are not the most treasured artifacts. This is absolutely impossible!"
The Sect Master of the Joyous Union Sect also looked shocked and asked doubtfully, "Did he steal the most treasured artifacts of other sects?"
The auction house president shook his head and then explained, "The few items taken out by the Sect Master of Qingxuan Sect are all naturally spiritual items. Everyone understands how rare naturally spiritual items are. For us cultivators, possessing such items greatly enhances our own strength. Such items are rarely found even in the Extreme Desert. A few days ago, I was fortunate enough to acquire such a weapon from a barbarian and sold it to an Immortal Venerable. With this weapon, the Immortal Venerable killed an evil dragon in the Extreme Desert, and his own strength was amplified twofold by this weapon. So, do you understand? It is not that our auction house has overestimated the treasures of the Sect Master of Qingxuan Sect, but rather that naturally spiritual items are too rare. To be able to produce so many naturally spiritual items at once, I think only someone as resourceful as the Sect Master of Qingxuan Sect can achieve this."
Hearing this, everyone present fell silent. No one doubted Qin Feng's financial capabilities anymore. Naturally spiritual weapons were very important to them, as they could double their strength.
Such items were rarely seen in a millennium, and for him to produce so many at once was enough to prove his extraordinary abilities.
Not long after, a server walked up and respectfully placed a golden card on Qin Feng's table.
The auction house president explained, "This gold card is specially made by our auction house. It contains your balance of spirit stones, as we cannot disburse such a large sum of spirit stones at once. Therefore, we are giving you this gold card. With this card, you can exchange for spirit stones at any exchange office in any town in this world. Of course, you can also request to receive the spirit stones in full, but you will have to give us one month to prepare. At that time, you can come here with this card to collect the spirit stones."
Hearing this explanation, Qin Feng nodded and put the card into his storage ring. At the same time, the golden stone he had just purchased was also brought up. Qin Feng glanced at it; it looked no different from an ordinary stone, but its weight and toughness far surpassed steel. Qin Feng directly put it into his storage ring as well.
Everyone present looked at Qin Feng, their eyes shining!
