Photograph the Nine-orifice Stone
It was a crystal bottle with only one drop of golden blood in it.
"The blood of the ancient mythical beast, the three-legged golden crow!" Tong Jin's face flushed, and his voice was a little hoarse, "I don't need to say much about its benefits! Refining this blood will transform one completely, elevate one's bloodline, and even allow one to comprehend a trace of the profound meaning of the sun's true fire!
For fellow Daoists of the demon race, or those who wish to cultivate contracted beasts, this is a chance to defy fate and change your destiny! Starting price: 800,000 high-grade spirit stones!
"One million!" The owner of Wanshou Villa roared out.
"One million and two hundred thousand!" The hoarse voice that had previously bid for the Transformation Pill sounded again, with a determined tone.
"Bishui Pavilion, one million and three hundred thousand." Fairy Lianyi also participated in the bidding.
The price soon broke through the two million mark.
In the end, after a fierce competition, this drop of Golden Crow's blood was bought by Wanshou Villa for three million high-grade spirit stones.
Tong Jin stood on the high platform with a serious expression:
"Fellow Daoists, thank you for your trust in Tianbao Pavilion. Next, we will be presenting the last item of this annual auction."
A cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage walked up to the platform carrying an oversized jade box with a golden talisman attached to it.
Tong Jin personally stepped forward, carefully uncovered the talisman, and then opened the jade box.
Inside the jade box lay a strange stone the size of a human head.
This stone seemed to have life, its surface was slowly undulating, as if it was breathing.
The most peculiar thing is that there are nine naturally formed acupoints on the stone, each of which corresponds to a large acupoint in the human body. The innate spiritual energy flows between the nine acupoints, forming a perfect cycle.
"This thing... is called the Nine-Aperture Stone!" Tong Jin's voice trembled, "It can seize the fortune of heaven and earth. It is a legendary divine object that can be used to reshape the body and recreate the innate nature!
There is no starting price for this item. Everyone, please bid!"
"Tianjian Sect!" The first bidder in the Tianzi Private Room was the one who called out, "Ten million high-grade spirit stones!"
This number caused a huge uproar
"Ten million! Oh my God!"
"The Tianjian Sect is indeed rich!"
"Eleven million!" Fairy Lianyi of the Bishui Pavilion also spoke. Such a divine object is enough to change the future of a sect.
"Hmph, 13 million!" Dan Pavilion also participated in the bidding.
"Fifteen million." This was the first time Xuanyang Sect participated in the bidding.
"Tianjianmen, 20 million!"
"Xuan Yang Sect, 25 million."
"Thirty million!" Tianjianmen followed up with the price.
Xuanyang Sect gave up: "Tianjian Sect is very courageous. This thing belongs to you."
"Thirty million at a time!" Tong Jin's voice was also excited.
"Thirty million twice!"
Just as Gu Tong raised the hammer and announced the final result, a strange and cold female voice sounded:
"Fifty million."
The sound was not loud, but it made the entire venue quiet down.
Tongjin's hand holding the hammer froze in mid-air.
In the private room of Tianjianmen, a white jade teacup was crushed to pieces.
Then, powerful spiritual senses swept towards the private room where Zhong Ling was, but they were all blocked by powerful restrictions.
The monks in the auction hall reacted and started talking:
"Did I hear correctly? Fifty...fifty million?"
"This is crazy! Absolutely crazy! Fifty million high-grade spirit stones, what does that even mean? We can't even raise that much even if we sell our entire sect!"
"Who exactly is this person sitting in this Tianzi private room? Is he a super-powerful being from the Central Region, or is he the ancestor of a hidden family who has come out of seclusion?"
"The Tianjian Sect has hit a wall this time. Hahaha, interesting, really interesting!"
In the Tianzihao private room, Zhong Ling was drinking tea with a calm expression.
Fifty million high-grade spirit stones were nothing to her. Her space had the most spirit stones, so she could afford fifty million top-grade spirit stones.
Inside the Soul-Nourishing Gourd, Xuanming didn't expect Zhong Ling to be so rich:
"Zhong... Fellow Daoist Zhong... you..."
"Just watch the show quietly." Zhong Ling said to him.
At the same time, the atmosphere in the private room of Tianjianmen dropped to zero o'clock.
"How can this be possible!"
With an angry shout, Zhang Lingfeng, the young master of Tianjian Sect, turned pale with his eyes blazing with fire, staring at the direction of Zhong Lingya's room.
"Investigate! Investigate for me! I want to see which rat dares to go against my Tianjian Sect!" He roared at the elders behind him.
"Young Master, according to the rules of Tianbao Pavilion, you are not allowed to inquire about the identity of guests..." an elder reminded in a low voice.
"Rules?" Zhang Lingfeng laughed in anger. "In the Eastern Region, my Tianjian Sect is the rule! How dare a mere Tianbao Pavilion stop me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tongjin's voice rang out:
"Young Master Zhang, the rules of Tianbao Pavilion were set by the Pavilion Master himself. If you wish to break these rules, why not wait until the auction is over and talk to the Pavilion Master in person?"
Tongjin had come to his senses by now and a smile was back on his face, but the warning in his words was obvious.
The Tianjian Sect is strong, but the background of the Tianbao Pavilion is equally unfathomable. What's more, a guest who can casually take out 50 million high-grade spirit stones is definitely not inferior to the Tianjian Sect in terms of weight.
Zhang Lingfeng's face turned pale and blue, and his chest heaved violently.
He knew that what Tong Jin said was true. The leader of Tianbao Pavilion was mysterious and no one wanted to offend him easily.
"Great! What a great Tianbao Pavilion!" He gritted his teeth, then turned to Zhong Ling's private room and said loudly: "Who are you? Do you dare to tell me your name? This Nine-Aperture Stone, my Tianjian Sect is determined to obtain it!"
He tried to use the name of Tianjianmen to pressure others.
However, his response was:
"No, get out."
puff--
When these words were spoken, many people in the venue almost laughed out loud.
How domineering this is, he doesn't even take the Tianjian Sect, the largest sect in the Eastern Region, seriously.
Zhang Lingfeng almost vomited blood. He felt like he had punched cotton and was so frustrated that he was about to explode.
Raise the price? How? Fifty million! Even if all the circulating spirit stones in the entire Tianjian Sect were emptied out, they might not be able to come up with this amount.
"You..." He was so angry that he was shaking all over and couldn't say a word.
Tong Jin, perched on the platform, understood what was happening. He cleared his throat and spoke in a resounding voice, "The distinguished guest in the Tianzi No. 1 private room bids fifty million! Fifty million! Is there a higher price?"
He looked around the room. It was completely silent. Everyone knew that the battle was over.
"Fifty million once!"
"Fifty million twice!"
"Fellow Daoist, do you really want to fight to the death with Tianjian Sect just for this piece of stone?" Zhang Lingfeng said threateningly before knocking for the third time. He had thought it through. Even if the other party got it, so what? He would just snatch it back when the time comes.
"Noisy." There were only two words in response to him.
"Fifty million three times!"
"clang--"
A bell rang throughout the venue.
Tong Jin knocked for the third time without waiting for Zhang Lingfeng to speak.
"Deal!" Tong Jin smiled brightly and made the final decision. "Congratulations to the distinguished guest from the Tianzi No. 1 Elegant Room for winning this peerless artifact—the Nine-Aperture Stone—for 50 million high-grade spirit stones!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of broken objects and a roar were heard from the private room of Tianjianmen.
