"These Spirit Gathering Pills are indeed extraordinary!" Lu Fan remarked, "Selling one for 100 spirit stones is quite a good price."
"There is an exchange in the back mountain of the Northern Sea Academy where auctions can be held!" Bi Yao stated, "It is controlled by the Heavenly Mountain Sect. If you have time, you can take me there. I believe we will have a good harvest."
"Thank you, senior sister, for informing me!" Lu Fan quickly clasped his hands. "After refining so many Spirit Gathering Pills, why didn't senior sister take one?"
"I don't like taking things from others. These Spirit Gathering Pills are indeed good, but since they are valuable items, you should keep them for yourself!" Bi Yao added, "I won't be coming these few days. If you have time later, you can find me in the Heavenly Courtyard. That's where I live."
Lu Fan's body trembled slightly. He knew very well that the Heavenly Courtyard was no ordinary place. Those who could enter that courtyard could command the winds and call the rain within the Northern Sea Academy, perhaps even being omnipotent and objects of worship for many disciples.
"Sure, I really didn't realize, Sect Master, you're quite something, full of tricks." Li Ziming walked over. "Even the senior sisters from the Heavenly Courtyard are so fond of you."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Lu Fan gave him a look. "The senior sisters from the Heavenly Courtyard are not to be trifled with. I can joke around, but you can't joke with them!" Su Dan Novel Network.
"Look at what you're saying. I only dared to make such a joke after the senior sister left. Otherwise, how would I dare?" Li Ziming said directly. "These past few days, Long Yi and Chu Ting have both gone to the cultivation tower. I don't know how their cultivation is going. If there's a chance, I'd also like to go."
"I think it's better not to!" Lu Fan chuckled. "Why don't you accompany me to the Heavenly Mountain Sect? I want to exchange these pills for spirit stones, which will then give us something to trade with."
"Since it's the Sect Master's order, I will naturally obey!" Li Ziming nodded slightly. While he could be frivolous at times, he held Lu Fan in high regard. To achieve so much at such a young age without relying on any power was truly remarkable.
Upon arriving at the Heavenly Mountain Sect, they discovered that outside the sect's courtyard, there was a street, and many of the sect's disciples were students of the Northern Sea Academy.
"I've heard that the Heavenly Mountain Sect has a significant presence in the Northern Sea Academy," Li Ziming remarked. "It seems to be true now. These guards should all be from the Heavenly Mountain Sect!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly and then entered the Heavenly Mountain Sect's auction house. Inside the auction house, there were further divisions into an exchange area and a trading area.
"Are you here to auction items or to exchange them?" A woman with considerable beauty walked over, a smile on her face.
"I have ten Spirit Gathering Pills here, and I wish to sell them!" Lu Fan stated. "Does the Heavenly Mountain Sect have the capability for this?"
"The Heavenly Mountain Sect does this kind of business," Han Li said softly. "However, these ten Spirit Gathering Pills seem to be no ordinary items. What price are you expecting per pill?"
"No less than 100 spirit stones!" Lu Fan stated directly. "If it's less than 100 spirit stones, I'd rather not sell!"
Han Li frowned slightly and looked at the pills. She knew very well that these Spirit Gathering Pills were not ordinary. Selling them for 100 spirit stones each was not expensive.
"Sir, these 10 Spirit Gathering Pills are indeed of extraordinary value," Han Li smiled lightly. "Our auction house can purchase all 10 pills for 1000 spirit stones!"
"Then thank you!" Lu Fan nodded slightly. "Your auction house must be quite profitable, otherwise, it wouldn't be this grand."
"We only earn small amounts of money, not worth mentioning," Han Li said with a light smile.
After finishing her statement, Han Li led Lu Fan and the others outside the courtyard and produced 900 spirit stones. "According to the rules of the Heavenly Mountain Sect, items for exchange require a 10% commission, which belongs to our Heavenly Mountain Sect."
"There's such a rule?" Lu Fan's brows furrowed. "In that case, wouldn't I be losing one pill for nothing?"
"These are the rules of our Heavenly Mountain Sect!" Han Li smiled. "If you cannot accept it, I can help you cancel the transaction, and then no deal can be made."
"Alright, alright. Since you want to earn a commission, then so be it!" Lu Fan waved his hand, unwilling to fuss over it. It was just one Spirit Gathering Pill, which he didn't particularly care about.
Not long after, Lu Fan received 900 spirit stones and then smiled, "Is the Heavenly Mountain Sect's auction house open at this time?"
"It is indeed open!" Han Li smiled. "Do you wish to enter the auction house?"
"We do have that thought!" Lu Fan nodded. "I wonder what good items are inside."
"Most of the items auctioned here are things obtained by various disciples from different places, and they are all rare treasures," Han Li said with a smile. "If you want to enter the auction house, I can lead the way now!"
"Then I appreciate your trouble!" Lu Fan nodded slightly. With nine hundred spirit stones on him, he was curious to see what items were in this auction city.
Shortly after, they arrived at the auction house. The auction house was not large, with only a row of seats set up within a pavilion. Inside the auction house, many disciples were seated, all from the Northern Sea Academy, and each of them possessed a strong aura.
"I truly didn't expect the Heavenly Mountain Sect to be so meticulous," Li Ziming smiled. "Setting up an auction house within the academy is quite a clever idea. However, this way, they can collect a substantial amount of spirit stones and distribute them to the many disciples of the Heavenly Mountain Sect, allowing the sect to expand gradually!"
"This is also their brilliance!" Lu Fan nodded. "The commission from this auction house is not low. If they continue to operate like this, the Heavenly Mountain Sect's influence within the Northern Sea Academy will likely grow even stronger before long."
As they were conversing, the man on the stage spoke, "Next to be auctioned is a pair of wings. With these wings, by using spirit energy to propel them, one can fly into the sky. It is a truly marvelous treasure!"
"Are there really such magical wings?" a man exclaimed. "To be able to fly into the sky, one at least needs the strength of the Spirit King realm. Can ordinary disciples also fly into the sky with these wings?"
"These are not ordinary wings, but the wings of a ferocious beast, modified by experts to possess such capabilities," the man on the stage stated directly.
Everyone was eager to try. This pair of wings was no simple matter. If they could obtain them, they could fly in the sky, which would play a crucial role in battles or escapes in the future.
"This item is indeed quite good!" Li Ziming smiled. "Sect Master, are you tempted?"
