"So many?" Luo Chen was surprised.
Duan Feng shook his head, "This is not much. I had a brief conversation with Li Jinhuang of the Qin Flower River Li Family. In the past, the peak was when four to five hundred Foundation Establishment True Cultivators participated in the auction. This is considered fewer now."
Luo Chen was somewhat astonished inside.
He had previously estimated secretly that within the scope of the Tian Lan Immortal City, there were nearly a hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators residing long-term.
Others, who usually come and go for brief stays, add about twenty to thirty people at most.
Now, thanks to the large trade fair and auction, somehow the numbers had doubled.
At its peak, it could even quadruple or quintuple.
This is just the tip of the iceberg!
From this, it can be seen what a massive number the Foundation Establishment True Cultivators in the Yu Ding Realm really is.
And this is just the number from one Immortal City.
In the Yu Ding Realm, there are nine big Immortal Cities that rival Tian Lan Immortal City, along with some small-scale Second Order Immortal Cities.
Besides, there are many Foundation Establishment Cultivators within the Seven Sects of Yu Ding.
If you calculate in total, just in the Yu Ding Realm alone, the number of Foundation Establishment True Cultivators would be several thousand.
So many people squeezed into one Yu Ding Realm, the demand for resources would be immense.
No wonder the conflicts are increasing.
It’s only natural that wars would break out between the two Nascent Soul Ascendant Sects.
After Duan Feng finished speaking, Sima Huiniang also talked about some recent major events happening in the Tian Lan Immortal City.
These were mostly about rogue cultivators who came from outside and did not comply with the rules of Tian Lan Immortal City, causing trouble.
One such Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator even tried to resist the Enforcement Team, controlling his flying magic tool to escape.
As a result, he was struck dead by a ray of lightning from the big formation above the Tian Lan Immortal City.
The restriction on flying is not a joke!
While the crowd was chatting, the auction had already started systematically.
It had been going on smoothly for two days, and the process was already efficient.
The only change was that the auction host was switched out.
It was a Golden Core Ascendant Master!
"That’s the Jueqing Fairy from the Ice Castle. She’s very powerful. She appeared briefly on the first day of the auction," Duan Feng introduced the woman to Luo Chen.
Luo Chen nodded and looked a bit serious.
He had heard the name Jueqing Fairy before and had specifically inquired about her information.
No other reason than she is the master of Dan Taijun.
From a certain point of view, it’s she who is Luo Chen’s real backing in the Tian Lan Immortal City.
"Didn’t expect the third day of the auction would be personally hosted by her."
Although unexpected, it makes sense.
In small auctions, a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator can easily control the entire venue.
But for a large auction like the Tian Lan Immortal City, with over ten thousand participants and hundreds of Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, it’s not something an ordinary Foundation Establishment True Cultivator can handle.
Especially!
Luo Chen subtly glanced at some private rooms.
In this auction, there are a few Golden Core Ascendant Masters participating.
It seems that the name suits her well.
The Jueqing Fairy’s temperament is rather indifferent too. Under her hosting, the atmosphere of the Immortal City Auction is a bit more subdued compared to the boisterousness of the first two days.
But this won’t overly impact the transaction prices.
Because the main participants are Foundation Establishment Cultivators and Golden Core Cultivators.
They all have a clear understanding of the true value of various resources.
When a Tree Core was revered and brought out, Luo Chen knew it was time for him to bid.
"Warm Sun Fragrant Incense, a semi-finished third order spirit material."
"Derived from the Third Order Spirit Tree, Warm Sun Wood."
"Used as a medicinal ingredient in Pill Refinement, it can increase Divine Soul Endowment and expand the range of Spirit Consciousness."
"The bidding starts at three thousand spirit stones!"
