The auction continues
The next few lots were all rare spiritual plants and minerals, but people were not very interested until the next lot came on stage.
"Fixingyan Pearl! I believe there is no need for me to explain the efficacy of this pearl." Tong Jin stroked his beard and smiled, with a hint of teasing in his tone.
"Eternal youth and ageless beauty. To all the fairies, their value is probably greater than any magic weapon in the world. Starting price: 50,000 high-grade spirit stones!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the nuns started to quote:
"Fifty-five thousand!" a female cultivator shouted with a sharp voice.
"Sixty thousand! I want this bead!" Another charming female cultivator was determined to get it.
"You want to take the Dingyan Pearl for just 60,000? I'll give you 80,000!"
"One hundred thousand!"
The price continued to soar, and just when it reached 150,000, a voice came from the Xuanhao private room on the second floor.
"Two hundred thousand, Bishui Pavilion, I want it."
The voice was not loud, but it instantly suppressed the voices of the entire audience.
Bishui Pavilion is a famous large sect in the Eastern Region, which is mainly composed of female cultivators.
As soon as these words were spoken, the female cultivators in the hall stopped arguing. Although they were unwilling, they did not dare to compete with him.
"Haha, it turns out to be Fairy Lianyi from the Bishui Pavilion." Tong Jin smiled and bowed. "Two hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones, are there any fellow Taoists who can offer a higher price?"
The whole audience was silent.
"Two hundred thousand once, two hundred thousand twice, two hundred thousand three times! Deal! Congratulations to Bishui Pavilion!" Tongjin made the final decision.
After Ding Yanzhu, the next item was presented.
The maid brought a jade box, and the moment she opened it, a strange medicinal fragrance spread out.
"Seventh-grade elixir, the Transformation Pill!" Tong Jin's voice became much more serious. "The effect of this elixir can help demonic beasts above the seventh level with awakened spiritual intelligence to shed their beast forms and transform into human forms. From then on, the road to cultivation will be smooth!
I'm sure all the fellow demons present here, as well as those who possess powerful contracted beasts, are well aware of its rarity. Starting price: 300,000 high-grade spirit stones!
"Transformation Pill!"
As soon as these words were spoken, not only the demon cultivators, but even many human beings' eyes lit up.
"Three hundred and fifty thousand!" A rough voice sounded from the corner, and the demonic aura around the man was not concealed.
"Four hundred thousand!" A cold voice came from another private room.
"Wan Shou Villa, offer 500,000!"
Prices continued to rise, with each increase drawing exclamations of surprise.
In the end, this transformation pill was bought by a mysterious buyer with a hoarse voice for 880,000 high-grade spirit stones, and everyone began to speculate about his identity.
With the appearance of several valuable treasures in succession, the atmosphere in the venue reached a climax. Everyone was excited and looking forward to the next treasure.
However, when Tongjin asked someone to present the next item, many people were stunned.
It was a palm-sized piece of black iron with extremely irregular edges, engraved with incomplete runes, and the spiritual energy fluctuations were weak.
“This item is called the Remnant Diagram of the Boundary-Breaking Talisman. It was accidentally found by a treasure appraiser from Tianbao Pavilion from an ancient relic.
According to identification, this seems to be a fragment of a boundary-breaking talisman that can shatter the void and travel through realms. Of course, it is only a fragment, the effect is unknown, and the risks are unknown.
He coughed dryly and said, "There is no reserve price for this item. Fellow Taoists, please bid as you wish."
"Tsk, what kind of junk are you selling?"
"Boundary Breaking Talisman? You're just bragging! If such a thing really existed, would Tianbao Pavilion be willing to give it to us?"
"It's just a piece of broken iron. It might break in the next second."
There was a lot of discussion in the hall, but no one made a bid for a while.
The scene was very embarrassing for a while.
Just as Tongjin was about to announce that the auction had failed, an old voice came from the corner of the hall.
"One hundred high-grade spirit stones."
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw an old man in a cloak with an unclear face sitting there, breathing weakly.
"One hundred dollars? Haha, is this old man trying to make fun of me?"
"I guess it's all the family property."
There were laughs everywhere.
However, the hoarse voice that had previously bid for the Transformation Pill rang out again: "Ten thousand high-grade spirit stones."
The whole audience was in an uproar. Spending 10,000 high-quality spirit stones to buy a piece of scrap metal with unknown purpose?
The old man in the corner didn't seem to expect anyone to snatch it from him. He was silent for a long time: "Ten thousand and one hundred."
"Fifty thousand." The hoarse voice raised the price without hesitation.
The old man stopped talking and his whole body hunched over.
In the end, this fragment of the boundary-breaking talisman was bought by the mysterious hoarse voice for 50,000 high-quality spirit stones.
Tong Jin on the high platform cleared his throat and his voice suddenly rose.
"Everyone! The warm-up is over! Each of the following items will be a true treasure! Now, please take a look at our next lot!"
His words lifted everyone's spirits.
Zhong Ling finally sat up straight, her hand holding the teacup stopped in mid-air, her gaze passed through the crystal wall and fell on the platform.
The main show is about to begin.
The maid moved lightly with lotus steps, holding a rosewood box in her hand. On the box, golden lightning flashed, making crackling sounds.
"This thing is called the Heavenly Thunder Tempering Wood!" Tong Jin began to introduce, "It was born in a land of thunder, and it took a thousand years to grow into a tree. It has survived ten thousand years of thunder strikes without being destroyed, but instead absorbed the power of the thunder's origin.
Whether it is used to refine the ultimate treasure of thunder magic, or to directly temper the flesh and draw heavenly thunder to forge the body, it is a rare divine object in the world! For fellow Taoists who practice thunder magic or physical cultivation, this is a priceless treasure! "
He flung open the wooden box.
A blinding golden light shot up into the sky, and the power of thunder transformed into the shadow of a roaring thunder beast, appearing in mid-air before slowly dissipating after a few seconds.
Inside the box was a piece of wood as thick as an arm, charred with a hint of dark gold. The surface was surrounded by electric light and emitted a heart-pounding aura.
"The starting price is 500,000 high-grade spirit stones! Each bid increase must not be less than 50,000!" Tong Jin said.
"Six hundred thousand!"
Before he finished speaking, a strong voice came from the private room. It was from the Vajra Sect in the Eastern Region, which was famous for its body training.
"Haha, the mere Vajra Sect wants to get its hands on this thing? Seven hundred thousand!" Another sinister voice sounded, provocatively.
"Tianjianmen, 850,000."
The voice came from another top-level private room.
“Fellow Daoist Zhong, the Gengjin Poxu Sword Technique practiced by the Tianjian Sect is extremely powerful and places extremely high demands on the physical body.
If we obtain this wood, the sect will surely gain another elder with a powerful physique, and even Zhang Chengying himself can take it a step further." Xuanming's voice was filled with reluctance and eagerness.
"No rush." Zhong Ling said, quietly watching the fight below.
The price was quickly pushed up to 1.3 million, and the only ones left to bid were the Vajra Sect and the Tianjian Sect.
"One million, three hundred and fifty thousand!" The Vajra Gate made another bid, which was close to their limit.
"One million and a half." Tianjianmen followed closely behind.
The Vajra Sect fell silent. They could not compare with the financial resources and confidence.
"One million and five hundred thousand at a time..." Tong Jin looked around the audience and began to count down.
In the end, the Tianlei Body-Tempering Wood was taken into the possession of the Tianjian Sect.
Immediately afterwards, the second finale treasure appeared.
