"One and a half million!"
"Two million!"
"Two and a half million!"
"Three million!"
< br>……
The bidding for the seventh-level mid-grade Taoist weapon - Zhentian Seal quickly entered a fever pitch, and soon exceeded the previous bid for the Burning Heaven Taoist Sword, breaking through five million high-grade spiritual stones in one fell swoop.
"VIP Room No. 8, the quotation is five million high-grade spiritual stones, is there any more!"
Wan Tiancheng's voice echoed in the auction room, with a hint of excitement that could not be concealed.
This time, the venue fell into complete silence. Five million high-grade spiritual stones was not a small amount for any force, and it was enough to make most people want to give up.
Wan Tiancheng looked around and saw that no one was bidding again, so he promptly announced, "The offer for VIP room No. 8: five million high-grade spiritual stones, the last 10 interest, 9 interest,..."
< br>
"Five.8 million, congratulations to VIP Room No. 3 for successfully bidding for the Tianzhen Seal!"
With the last breath, Wan Tiancheng confirmed the bidding results and announced with great joy.
“Who!”
In VIP Room No. 8, Xuanxiao Sect Master Xin Tiansen was furious, and his powerful spiritual thoughts rushed toward VIP Room No. 3, trying to break through the Wanbao Pavilion design Xin Tiansen's spiritual thoughts were banned, but Wanbao Pavilion's protective formation activated instantly, like an invisible barrier, firmly blocking Xin Tiansen's spiritual thoughts. His face was livid, feeling the powerlessness and frustration of his spiritual thoughts, and he was even more angry.
I almost competed for the Heaven-Suppressing Seal, but unexpectedly, I fell short at the last moment.
In VIP Room No. 5, the leader of the Netherworld Sect, Gao Hong, was full of regret. At the last moment, he offered 5.5 million, but in the end he was still a step too late and was taken over by the mysterious VIP Room No. 3 at a higher price. Walked away Zhentianyin. His eyes flickered, and he thought to himself, who is this VIP Room No. 3 that can take out such a huge amount of spiritual stones so easily.
Aware of this situation, Wan Tiancheng quickly reassured everyone: "Seniors, please don't be angry. Those who are destined to get the treasure will get it. There are still three Taoist artifacts that have not been auctioned, which are no worse than the Zhentian Seal. Seniors still have Opportunity."
Wan Tiancheng coughed lightly, and the noise in the venue gradually subsided, and everyone's eyes focused on him again. He was smiling, and his eyes shone with confidence and anticipation for the upcoming auction of spiritual objects.
“Next, what we are going to auction is a ten thousand-year-old seventh-level elixir, ten thousand years old—Yaowang Lingshen!”
As Wan Tiancheng’s words fell, the auction The teleportation formation flashed, and a jade box was teleported over.
As Wan Tiancheng opened the jade box, a fresh and rich medicinal fragrance instantly filled the entire venue, refreshing people's spirits.
Yaowang Lingshen lies quietly in the jade box. It is crystal clear, as if it is carved from the purest jade. Its shape is slender, with clear roots, and each root exudes The faint light, and the most amazing thing is that its surface is also wrapped with strands of spiritual power. These spiritual powers are like living creatures, flowing slowly around Yaowang Lingshen, forming mysterious patterns. .
“This medicine king ginseng has been used as medicine for thousands of years. It is only a small chance before it can transform into the true spirit of grass and trees. I don’t need to say how precious it is.”
Wan Tiancheng glanced at the Void Refining monks in the audience with a smile and introduced.
“The medicinal king ginseng is just a hair short of being able to transform into another form! This kind of elixir is rare even in the entire spiritual world, and its value is immeasurable!” A white-haired old monk said excitedly.
"If you can get this elixir, not only will your cultivation level improve by leaps and bounds, but you will also have the opportunity to understand the ways of vegetation, which will be of great help to alchemy, weapon refining, and even formation methods!" Another female monk who refining the void flashed in her eyes. The words were filled with light and longing after taking this elixir.
“It is indeed rare to see a medicine that is ten thousand years old. I am afraid that the price is also extremely high. Xu is helpless!”
……
Following the medicine king Lingshen With the appearance of the monks, the attention of the monks turned to it, and the discussion continued.
“This medicine king ginseng can bring amazing effects whether it is used to make elixirs or taken directly. Fellow Taoists and seniors, those who are destined to obtain the treasure will depend on your luck and strength. "Wan Tiancheng was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, smiled slightly, and continued to announce: "The starting price of Medicine King Lingshen: 200,000 high-grade spiritual stones, each increase will be 10,000 high-grade spiritual stones, limited time: 100 interest, now official. Start shooting.”
Immediately afterwards, the bidding data changed one after another. Each number represented a monk's desire and pursuit of the Medicine King Spirit Ginseng. The price soared like a wild horse, far exceeding the initial expectations.
“Three hundred thousand!”
“Three hundred and fifty thousand!”
“Four hundred thousand, I am determined to get this thing!” A middle-aged Void Refining monk in the lobby Standing up, it was obvious that the need for Yaowang Lingshen was particularly urgent.
"It depends on whether you have the ability, five hundred thousand!"
...
A hundred breaths of time passed by, and Wan Tiancheng happily announced: "Congratulations to VIP Room No. 12, for successfully acquiring the Medicine King Lingshen with 700,000 high-grade spiritual stones!"
This At this time, in the lobby, the expressions of all the Void Refining monks became extremely ugly. Their financial resources were limited, so many rare spiritual objects were auctioned and they could only watch them flow into the VIP rooms one after another, into the hands of the top forces and major sects.
Wan Tiancheng keenly captured the subtle changes in the atmosphere in the field, and knew that the uneven distribution of resources was often the source of the monks' fighting spirit and desire.
So, Wan Tiancheng coughed lightly and broke the brief silence with a louder and more magnetic voice: "Fellow Taoists, there is no need to be discouraged. The road to cultivation is long and full of variables. Today's loss, Maybe it will be acquired for another day. The next auction is also a rare treasure, which may bring new hope to you. ”
Before he finished speaking, Wan Tiancheng waved his sleeves gently, and the light from the auction stage flashed away. On the auction stage, a cyan round shield appeared, exuding a heavy aura. "Everyone, please take a look at the next auction item, a sixth-grade high-grade defensive spiritual weapon - the 'Qingming Xuanwu Shield'. This shield is made from deep sea ten thousand-year black iron and the scales of the rare spiritual beast Qingming Xuanwu. It is not only The texture is extremely hard, and it also contains the defensive formation of the basalt beast. Once activated, it can form an extremely strong protective shield that can withstand a strike from the powerful fusion," Wan Tiancheng introduced in detail.
“I dare to ask, Shopkeeper Wan, who made this instrument, but is it the work of Master Li?”
As soon as Wan Tiancheng’s introduction was finished, people walked down the hall. A monk from Lianxu asked concernedly.
"Uh! No, this weapon is the work of Master Chen, the guest of our weapon refiner. Although his weapon refining skills are not as famous as Master Li, he is unique in the forging of defensive spiritual weapons. Master Chen is well versed in the defensive essence of the Xuanwu Divine Beast, and has integrated it into the 'Qingming Xuanwu Shield', making this shield reach the ultimate level of sixth-level defense," Wan Tiancheng quickly introduced. .
Hearing this, all the Void Refining cultivators in the audience couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Master Li's level of weapon refining is there. If this weapon is his work, then with the rank of the sixth-level top-grade spiritual treasure, it is possible to advance to the seventh-level Taoist weapon in the future.
If it is not Master Li’s work, its value will drop significantly in the eyes of the monks. However, Wan Tiancheng seemed to have seen the reaction of the monks. He smiled slightly and continued: "Fellow Taoists, the way to refine weapons lies in the character of mind and creativity, rather than simply relying on the name of the master. Although Master Chen is not Master Li As famous as he is, his unique understanding of defensive spiritual weapons and superb skills cannot be ignored. Furthermore, the value of the 'Qingming Xuanwu Shield' lies not only in its refiner, but also in what it is. Contains powerful defensive power."
Wan Tiancheng paused, glanced across the audience, and saw the different expressions of everyone, then continued: "Imagine, in the crisis-ridden world of cultivation, one thing can resist the combination. A powerful defensive weapon is an extremely precious life-saving weapon for any monk. It may not determine the victory of a battle, but it can give the holder a glimmer of hope at a critical moment. , even the key to turning the tide of the war."
Wan Tiancheng's words made the monks who were a little disappointed couldn't help but re-examine the 'Qingming Xuanwu Shield'.
"The starting price of this device is: 200,000 high-grade spiritual stones. The price increases by 10,000 high-grade spiritual stones each time. The limited time is: 100 interest. The auction is now officially open." Wan Tiancheng announced immediately after the introduction was about the same.
“Twenty-one thousand!”
“Twenty-two thousand!”
……
The bidding continued one after another, although the rhythm was not as good as before. The price span is not as wide as before.
The auction moved forward, and each rare item was unveiled one by one and successfully changed hands under Wan Tiancheng's charming explanation.
However, among the many auction items, only a few Taoist artifacts refined by Master Li have become the bright pearls that attract everyone's attention. They seem to have their own halo, causing a lot of excitement every time they appear. sensation.
Li Mu seems to have become the biggest beneficiary of this auction. However, it is all due to the auction of Taoist tools, elixirs, and elixirs. There are not many opportunities for him to take advantage of this auction. .
Although he had already taken many high-level spiritual objects from the Wanbao Pavilion warehouse in advance, among the spiritual objects sent by other bidders at the auction, there were only a handful of high-level spiritual objects that really touched his heartstrings. This made Li Mu a little dissatisfied.
In the VIP box No. 1, Li Mu revealed a hint of thought as he watched the auction proceed, expecting a special treasure to appear.
At this moment, Wan Tiancheng's voice sounded again, breaking the silence in the venue. With unprecedented excitement in his tone, he announced: "The item I want to introduce next will be the finale of this auction. One of the things, a Taoist inheritance.”
“What!”
“How is this possible!”
“What? Inheritance, Shopkeeper Wan, stop being so secretive!”
……
As soon as Wan Tiancheng said these words, the auction venue was filled with excitement. The noise surged like a tidal wave, almost overturning the roof. The faces of all the Void Refining cultivators were filled with shock, confusion, and desire, and they asked excited questions.
The Taoist inheritance is not only a collection of texts and illustrations, but also the crystallization of the wisdom and experience of countless predecessors. It is the key to the supreme road and determines the rise and fall of a sect and a family. The key point is that the emergence of each Taoist inheritance can trigger changes in the top power structure, enough to make countless powerful people flock to it, and even take it as their own at all costs.
"Please be patient, please let me take out the auction items first." Wan Tiancheng smiled and raised his hand to gently suppress the restlessness in the venue.
Hearing this, all the Void Refining cultivators calmed down and waited for the next step.
I saw a flash of teleportation light on the auction table, and a tray covered with red cloth revealed itself.
However, when Wan Tiancheng slowly unveiled the red cloth and revealed the so-called "Tao-level inheritance", the atmosphere in the entire venue suddenly became subtle. It was not the glorious classic that everyone imagined, nor was it a radiant treasure, but a simple and broken scroll. On the cover, the words "Insect Scripture" were written in ancient seal script. The edges were frayed, showing that it had gone through many vicissitudes of life.
"This...is this the final inheritance of the Dao?" A Void Refining cultivator said in astonishment, his tone full of disbelief.
"Shopkeeper Wan, are you kidding me? How can an incomplete "Insect Classic" be called a Taoist inheritance?" Another person directly questioned it, and there was a sudden discussion and questioning in the venue. Intertwined with feelings of disappointment.
Facing the doubts of the monks, Wan Tiancheng smiled slightly without any embarrassment on his face. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Fellow Taoists, please be patient and listen to me carefully. Come. Although this inherited "Insect Classic" is incomplete, what is recorded in it is the essence of the ancient art of controlling insects. If you can understand one or two of them, you will be able to stand alone in the world of cultivation, even in the world. Under certain circumstances, the power of transcending realms can be exerted."
"However," Wan Tiancheng changed the subject, with a hint of helplessness in his tone, "This "Insect Classic" is extremely incomplete. , many key points have been lost, and it is not easy to restore it. Because of this, it is regarded as useless, which is both desirable and daunting. Otherwise, how could such a complete Taoist inheritance come about. At the auction.”
As soon as these words came out, the noise in the venue gradually subsided, and the monks showed complicated expressions on their faces. They were attracted by the mystery and potential of the "Insect Classic", but they were also disappointed and helpless by its incomplete status.
However, what Wan Tiancheng said is not unreasonable. The value of Taoist inheritance is definitely beyond their reach. Each complete Taoist inheritance represents the wisdom of one or several top experts. , is the summary and inheritance of their deep understanding of the laws of heaven and earth and the laws of nature, and is the foundation of a top sect.
Looking at the thoughtful monks below, Wan Tiancheng continued: "You may think that this fragment of the "Insect Classic" has limited value, but in my opinion, it is a gateway to a greater world. A secret path to a high realm, this fragment is a touchstone to test the wisdom and perseverance of monks like us. If someone can fully understand the essence of it and even complete the missing parts by relying on their own ability and opportunity, then, The achievements and power he has gained will be far beyond what a complete Taoist inheritance can match."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the venue changed again. There was determination and expectation in the eyes of the monks. They began to re-examine this seemingly worthless fragment of the "Insect Classic", and secretly pondered in their hearts whether they should try to challenge this unknown and possibility.
In Box No. 1, Li Mu's heart was filled with turmoil, his eyes were burning, and he was determined to obtain this Insect Book. (End of chapter)
