Chapter 1937: Seven Star Grass! Meteorite Pit?

As his voice fell, a maid gracefully walked onto the stage, holding a tray that held a gleaming longsword."Low-grade magical treasure, Xuan Shui Sword! It contains Water Element Power, incredibly sharp, with a starting price of three hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones, and each increase must be no less than ten!"
"Three hundred and one!"
"Three hundred and two!"
...
The bidding voice rose and fell, quickly raising the price considerably.
Su Xiaowan watched with great interest: "Luo Qingchen, this sword looks good, should we bid for one too?"
Luo Qingchen didn’t even raise his eyelids: "Ordinary stuff, not worth mentioning."
Su Xiaowan pouted and continued to watch with enthusiasm. The subsequent auction items, including elixirs, talismans, and some strange materials, all caused fierce competition, but Luo Qingchen had no intention of making a move.
"Next item, a thousand-year-old ’Fire Cloud Mushroom,’ greatly beneficial for friends cultivating Fire Element cultivation techniques, also serves as a main material for refining high-level Fire Element elixirs! Starting price, eight hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones!"
The appearance of the Fire Cloud Mushroom instantly heated up the atmosphere in the venue.
"Eight hundred and fifty!"
"Nine hundred!"
"I bid a thousand!"
The price soared up, finally being taken by a guest box on the second floor for fifteen hundred Low-grade Spirit Stones.
Su Xiaowan clicked her tongue: "Wow, such an expensive herb! If we sold the ones we picked in the forest last time, wouldn’t we get rich?"
Luo Qingchen smiled faintly without speaking. Although the Indigo Waterfine Fruit he picked is rare, compared to the thousand-year-old Fire Cloud Mushroom, its value is still inferior.
The auction proceeded in an orderly manner, with one item after another being bought at high prices. Luo Qingchen noticed that luxury bids occasionally came from the boxes on the second floor, indicating the presence of extraordinary individuals.
Finally, after dozens of items were auctioned, the manager in brocade robe’s smile became increasingly bright, he raised his voice and said: "Fellow cultivators, the next item is one of the main treasures of this auction! I believe many of you have come for this item!"
As his words fell, a maid carefully carried a jade box onto the stage. The jade box opened, revealing an unusual small grass, completely verdant, with seven small star-like dots scattered on its leaves, quietly lying within, emitting a faint starlight glow and an intoxicating fragrance.
"Seven-Star Grass! A legendary herb said to mature only by absorbing Star Essence from areas rich in starlight for forty-nine years! Whether used for cultivating star-related techniques or refining special elixirs, it has wondrous effects! Such a celestial treasure cannot be sought! Starting price, three thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones! Each increase must not be less than one hundred Spirit Stones!"
"Hiss—" There was a sound of gasping in the hall.
The starting price of three thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones exceeded the bearing capacity of most Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Luo Qingchen’s gaze finally became serious. The Star Force contained in this Seven-Star Herb is even purer and richer than he anticipated, perhaps truly having wondrous effects if given to Bai Ling’er.
"Three thousand and one!" After a brief silence, someone finally started bidding.
"Three thousand and two!"
"Three thousand and five!"
The price began to rise slowly yet firmly, led mostly by Golden Core cultivators or representatives of significant forces.
Su Xiaowan clenched her small fists nervously: "Luo Qingchen, should we place a bid?"
Luo Qingchen slightly shook his head, gesturing for her to be patient. Those now bidding are just exploring, the truly capable and determined ones haven’t yet exerted force.
Sure enough, when the price rose to four thousand five hundred Spirit Stones, a somewhat lazy voice came from a box on the second floor: "Five thousand Spirit Stones."
As soon as these words were spoken, the hall quieted significantly. An increase of five hundred at once showed the other party’s wealth and arrogance.
"It’s Zhao Mingyu, the second young master of the Zhao Family!" Someone whispered.
"I heard Zhao Mingyu is currently cultivating a secret technique related to Star Force, he is very likely determined to acquire this Seven-Star Herb."
Luo Qingchen’s eyebrows slightly raised, Zhao Family? They seem to be a fairly influential cultivator family based in Luoxia City.
"Five thousand and one hundred Spirit Stones!" A voice from another box signaled its unwillingness to easily give up.
Once again, Zhao Mingyu’s voice echoed, carrying a slight impatience: "Six thousand Spirit Stones! Is there anyone with eyes closed daring to compete with me?"
The arrogance in these words made many frown, but most didn’t dare to speak up due to Zhao Family’s influence.
The previously bidding box fell silent.
The manager in a brocade robe beamed: "Six thousand Spirit Stones! Is there any cultivator willing to bid higher? This is the Seven-Star Grass, if you miss it this time, who knows how long before encountering it again!"
Just as he was about to drop the hammer, a calm voice arose from the corner of the hall: "Six thousand and one hundred Spirit Stones."
It was Luo Qingchen.
In an instant, all eyes focused on Luo Qingchen.
A cold snort came from Zhao Mingyu’s box: "Who is this poor boy, daring to compete with me? Six thousand five hundred Spirit Stones!"
Luo Qingchen’s expression remained unchanged: "Six thousand six hundred Spirit Stones."
"Seven thousand!" Zhao Mingyu’s voice carried a distinct hint of anger.
Luo Qingchen remained calm: "Seven thousand one hundred."
Su Xiaowan, watching from the side, had sweaty palms, whispering: "Luo Qingchen, do we have that many Spirit Stones?" She knew that Luo Qingchen had some savings, but seven thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones were no small amount.
Luo Qingchen gave her a reassuring look. With the Demon Core obtained from slaying the Black Water Mystic Snake and processing the storage bags from several demonic cultivators, he had accumulated close to ten thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones, plus some materials that could be sold, he was confident in acquiring the Seven-Star Herb.
