Chapter 250 Auction
After he emerged from seclusion, Jianjia served him for the entire night, and the night was wonderful. The next morning, the Xuan Turtle Demon General arrived. He took this matter very seriously, as it concerned his treatment after he reached the Golden Core stage.
There is an unwritten rule in the entire Qingyun Realm: the most ordinary Golden Core cultivators cannot become high-level cultivators. In other words, if one wants to advance and gain status, and establish their own power base, they must at least become a third-level Golden Core cultivator. Otherwise, they can only become a rogue cultivator or join another force, and cannot establish their own large power.
As for the forces of the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining stage demons below, they are just playing around and can't actually gather any fortune. Only forces built by Golden Core stage cultivators can begin to have the ability to gather fortune. This Xuan Turtle Demon General also wants to build his own force. He can see that Gu Yuchuan's cultivation is much smoother under the nourishment of his force, and he doesn't want to continue to be dependent on others. Moreover, once he advances to the Golden Core stage, he will be at the same level as the Black Shark Demon King. It would be a bit inappropriate for him to continue to be his subordinate, especially if he becomes a third-stage Golden Core cultivator.
At that time, his potential and status were actually about the same as the Black Shark Demon King. If the Black Shark Demon King wanted to continue to win him over, his status would have to be different. At the very least, he would have to be given the title of Second King. This would actually be detrimental to his rule. However, if he had only achieved the Golden Core stage, there would be nothing to fight for, and he could just continue to follow him.
Looking at his cultivation level and magic weapon, Gu Yuchuan was very satisfied. This time, even if the same ambush and killing happened as in the simulator, it would be much easier to deal with than in the simulator. Moreover, he had handled it very easily in the simulator, without any danger.
Gu Yuchuan summoned his flying boat, the Jiaolong, which stunned the Xuan Turtle Demon General, who circled the Jiaolong around it.
“Third brother, you are truly different. This is a flying boat! Even the Black Shark Demon King doesn’t have one yet. When we drink together in private, he often complains that he has been saving money for so long but still can’t afford a flying boat. You’ve only been promoted for a short time, less than a year, and you already have a flying boat. Indeed, your potential and strength far exceed those of ordinary Golden Core cultivators.”
His voice was filled with excitement, and it was clear that every word he spoke was sincere and not just flattery of Gu Yuchuan.
"I didn't just buy it; I used some materials and had the Demon Emperor craft it for me. It was much cheaper than buying one, but it still cost me most of my net worth. But you know I travel a lot, and having a flying boat would be much more convenient, so I gritted my teeth and bought it. Come on, brother, let's go by flying boat."
After boarding the flying boat, he continued to look around. He was very envious of the flying boat. It wasn't that he had never ridden a flying boat before; he had ridden one when he was in the human race. But that belonged to the human race, to the Great Yong Dynasty. The feeling of it being owned by such a powerful force was completely different from that of a private individual.
The speed of this flying boat was far beyond what they could achieve on their own. The two sat down, drank some tea, and then arrived in Yun City. The auction was also held here. They had reserved a private room in advance. Logically speaking, a Foundation Establishment stage demon general shouldn't be able to reserve a private room, but he was using Gu Yuchuan's name, which was a good thing, as Gu Yuchuan didn't want to sit in the main hall.
He could sense that the dragon bloodline had given him a touch of nobility and pride. Although he tried his best to avoid the influence of his bloodline on his personality, it was something he couldn't completely eliminate.
They were led into a private room by a beautiful maid. Although the room looked simple, it had an elegant beauty and was quite nice. There was also a faint fragrance of incense. It was much better than the main hall below. Soon, some refreshments were served, but they all looked cheap and not as good as what they had used on the flying boat. Neither of them had any desire to use them. However, at this moment, the auction list was delivered.
This is another advantage of having a private room: you can see the complete list of auction items in advance, so you can plan your bids based on what you want and the amount of spirit stones you need. When bidding, you can also be more informed.
He looked at the list, checking if there was anything he needed. The highlight of the first page was the essence blood of the Xuan Turtle, indicating that the auction house valued this essence blood highly.
"Thirdly, I've inquired, and the market price for this essence blood is around ten thousand. I've prepared fifteen thousand spirit stones, and I'm determined to get it this time."
Gu Yuchuan nodded: "Don't worry, brother. Although I spent a lot of money on the flying boat, I still have tens of thousands of spirit stones on hand. If you really don't have enough, feel free to take these. This is about your path to enlightenment, so please don't be shy."
The Xuan Turtle Demon General clasped his hands in a fist salute: "Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who suffers for the sake of saving face. If it's really not enough, I will definitely take your spirit stones. We're brothers, there's really no need to be so formal."
After Gu Yuchuan finished speaking, he continued to look at the other items. There were indeed some good ones, including the Moon Essence, a spiritual item that could enhance the potential of the fetus. This was a good thing that could be used for the future child. Although he didn't know if Jianjia was pregnant yet, she would get pregnant sooner or later, so it was necessary to prepare in advance.
However, this thing is far more valuable than the essence blood that the Xuan Turtle Demon General wants. After all, only demons of the turtle race can enhance their bloodline with that essence blood, but this lunar essence is different. All cultivators can use it, whether human or demon. Fortunately, it can only be used on unborn babies, so the price won't be too outrageous. He's determined to get this thing.
The other items included some rather valuable ones, such as a mid-grade defensive magic treasure. He believed that many Golden Core cultivators were after this treasure, but it was completely useless to Gu Yuchuan. His Golden Light Mantra was already unparalleled in defense, and he didn't need another defensive magic treasure. He quickly finished looking through the items but didn't see anything he wanted to buy. Now he just waited for the auction to begin.
He checked the time; there was still about half an hour left. They had arrived a bit early. The Xuan Turtle Demon General had calculated the time based on their own flight, not the time based on the flying boat, so naturally they arrived a little early. But it didn't matter. After drinking a few sips of tea, the time was almost up. The auctioneer was standing on the platform, and the auction was about to begin.
