After entering the box, before the auction started, Feng Shao instructed Luo Qiushuang and Bai Shuanghua on the martial arts they were currently practicing.
The martial art that Luo Qiushuang practiced was called "Taiyin Heart Sutra", which was naturally compatible with her Taiyin Xuanbing body. She did not need to rely on the ** to channel the Zhiyin Qi in her body. Instead, she could take the Taiyin Qi for her own use, and her progress was rapid.
Bai Shuanghua's physique is relatively ordinary, so Feng Shao taught her the Jade Girl Heart Sutra, a technique suitable for women. Although the progress of practicing the Jade Girl Heart Sutra is not as good as the Taiyin Heart Sutra, it is better in steady and solid progress. As long as you are not too radical, there will be basically no bottleneck on the road of practice.
These two mental methods were obtained by Feng Shao after integrating the memories of Xihe Palace Master. Even in the upper domain, they are considered first-class skills.
As for the Qiankun Treasure Book, it was a technique that Xihe Palace Master created for himself. At the moment when the technique was formed, Xihe Palace Master realized that although the technique was universal, it was not suitable for too many people to practice. Probably due to the limitation of heaven, this world only allows two people to practice this technique at most. If there are more people, it is very easy to be punished by heaven.
One can imagine how powerful a martial art that can draw the jealousy of Heaven must be.
After instructing the two, Feng Shao also sat upright on the chair and closed his eyes. But he was not resting his eyes. The moment he closed his eyes, a piece of text appeared in his mind.
This text also comes from the memory of the Lord of Xihe Palace and comes from a mysterious book called "The Book of Heaven".
"The way of heaven is to reduce the surplus and make up for the deficiency. The way of man is to reduce the deficiency and serve the surplus.
"The Way of Heaven is like drawing a bow. The high is suppressed, the low is raised, the excess is reduced, and the deficiency is supplemented.
"Only when one is in harmony with the virtues of heaven and earth can one embrace them. Like the way of heaven and the measure of man, each has his own body and cannot be equal. Only when one is selfless and selfless in nature can one be in harmony with the virtues of heaven and earth.
"Who can have more than enough to serve the world? Only those who have the Tao. Therefore, the sage does not rely on his achievements, does not stay in the limelight after his accomplishments, and does not want to be seen as a virtuous person..."
…
At the beginning, Feng Shao thought it was a practice method, but after reading it for a long time, he found that it was not the case.
Every word and sentence in the "Heavenly Book" is explaining the essence of the Way of Heaven. However, from what Feng Shao saw and felt, the Way of Heaven is not as the "Heavenly Book" says, which is to reduce the surplus and make up for the deficiency. Instead, it is more like the way of man, which is to reduce the deficiency and serve the surplus. The surplus that the Way of Heaven serves is the so-called son of destiny.
As for the Son of Destiny, none of them was able to "have more than enough to serve the world", which is completely inconsistent with what is said in the "Book of Heaven".
Therefore, Feng Shao guessed that perhaps the Xihe Palace Master wanted to use this "Heavenly Book" to convey a hidden message to him. As for why this method was used, Feng Shao was still unclear.
There is more than one chapter in the Heavenly Book, but Feng Shao could only see this one. As for the subsequent chapters, they seemed to be sealed by an unknown force. But he felt that if he could understand this text, then the second chapter of the Heavenly Book would appear in his mind.
At this moment, Bai Shuanghua's voice suddenly reached his ears: "Master! The auction is about to begin!"
Feng Shao opened his eyes, nodded to Bai Shuanghua, and then turned his gaze towards the auction venue.
A layer of light blue light enveloped his pupils. Then, he saw countless fortunes of different colors appear in the venue.
The luck in the venue was mostly green, with a few having exceptionally high luck, but generally not exceeding red. Only one person had exceptionally strong luck, showing a deep purple color.
It seems that this person should be Ye Chen.
I didn't expect that after not seeing him for so many days, this guy has gained a lot of luck. It seems that he has been living a comfortable life recently!
In this case, should I help him reduce his luck later? After all, "the way of heaven is to reduce the excess and replenish the deficiency"!
At this time, a girl in palace dress has walked to the front desk and said with a smile: "Welcome everyone, you have come from afar to participate in the auction of Linglong Pavilion. The items auctioned by Linglong Pavilion are all genuine and fair. Please rest assured to auction."
After a brief opening speech, the girl in palace dress took out a bottle of pills and said, "This first lot is the Barrier Breaking Pill personally refined by the head of Qingxing Hall Jia. It is of top grade. There are ten pills in this bottle. The starting price is eight thousand spirit stones."
Qingxing Hall is one of the thirteen halls under Yunjian Pavilion, and its duty is to make elixirs. The head of Qingxing Hall, Jia Chan, is a well-known alchemist in Dongzhou, and the elixirs he makes are often out of stock.
As for the word "po zhang" in Po zhang Dan, it refers to breaking the mental barriers, and is specifically used to deal with the inner demons. You should know that except for the demon cultivators, other cultivators will be troubled by the inner demons to a certain extent after they have cultivated to a certain level. If they cannot be solved in time, at the least, they will go astray and lose all their cultivation; at the worst, they will die and their souls will be scattered.
Therefore, the Barrier Breaking Pill has always been one of the most coveted pills for cultivators, let alone the top-grade Barrier Breaking Pill.
Linglong Pavilion took out the Barrier Breaking Pill that Jia Chan had personally refined. This was a big deal. As for the starting price of 8,000 spirit stones, it seemed a little insignificant.
Sure enough, just as the palace-dressed girl finished speaking, someone shouted, "I'll pay 8,000 spirit stones!"
Then someone shouted, "I'll give you 10,000 spirit stones!"
"Fifteen thousand spirit stones!"
"Eighteen thousand!"
"Twenty thousand!"
"Twenty-four thousand!"
The price kept rising, and soon reached a high price of 50,000. At this price, many people had given up and stopped bidding. Those who were still bidding were either wealthy or in urgent need of the Barrier Breaking Pill.
In the end, the price remained at 72,000 spirit stones. After the palace-dressed girl bid three times and saw that no one bid again, she smiled and said, "Congratulations to the distinguished guest in the third box of the Earth Word for winning this bottle of Barrier Breaking Pill made by Master Jia himself!"
Seeing this, Bai Shuanghua couldn't help but exclaimed, "Oh my God! Just a bottle of elixir can be sold for more than 70,000 spirit stones! My Bai family is considered a wealthy family in Dongjiang City, but our annual income is only 80,000 to 90,000 spirit stones! How can we only buy this bottle of elixir?"
Luo Qiushuang couldn't help but sigh: "Is this the financial strength of the people in the upper domain?"
Feng Shao shook his head and said, "Don't think too highly of the people in the Upper Realm. You should know that the Linglong Pavilion in Yuncheng is well-known throughout the entire East Continent. If you don't have some wealth, who would dare to participate in the auction here?"
After the Barrier Breaking Pill, the palace-dressed girl took out two more items. Although these two items were more valuable than the Barrier Breaking Pill, not many people needed them, so the bidding was not as tight as before. Not long after, the two items were sold at the prices of 54,000 Spiritual Stones and 46,000 Spiritual Stones respectively.
Feng Shao never paid much attention to the items that the girl in palace dress took out. Most of his attention was on Ye Chen. After all, the things that the son of luck likes are the real good things.
Next, the girl in palace dress took out a bronze mirror with a diameter of about one foot and a simple shape, and said, "This mirror was obtained from a secret place. However, none of the treasure appraisers in Linglong Pavilion can figure out what this mirror is used for. I am offering this mirror as an auction item now, hoping that it will find its destined owner. There is no starting price for this item, and you are free to bid."
The venue fell into silence for a moment.
Everyone looked at the mirror on the table, thinking. A mirror that even the treasure appraisers of Linglong Pavilion could not identify its purpose was a kind of value in itself. However, this value was very uncertain. It was possible that this was a powerful magic weapon, or it was possible that the function of this mirror was very useless to most people. Whether it was the former or the latter, it was purely a matter of luck.
Just when everyone was wondering whether to bid or not, someone suddenly shouted, "I'll bid one thousand spirit stones!"
Looking at the person who was bidding, Feng Shao showed a smile.
It seems that this thing is Ye Chen's opportunity.
Feng Shao consumed his luck and activated the Tianhua Jade Slip to identify the mirror on the stage. But before he could identify the result, he was shocked by the amount of luck he consumed.
The consumption of this luck is a bit too great.
Feng Shao had discovered in the process of using the Tianhua Jade Slip that the more valuable the treasure, the more luck it consumed when identifying it. And what kind of artifact could be a mirror that could consume so much luck?
After a moment, the identification result came out:
"Luantian Mirror (one of the nine fragments of Jiutian Xuanqing Mirror) cannot exert its effect with only one fragment. After obtaining two or more fragments, they can be combined into a powerful defensive magic weapon. The more fragments combined, the greater the power."
It turned out to be the Nine Heavens Mysterious Purity Mirror!
The Nine Heavens Mysterious Purity Mirror is one of the Ten Treasures of the Universe. Although it is not as good as the Tianhua Jade Slip and the Diyuan Divine Seal, these two artifacts do not have the effect of attack or defense, so this ranking does not mean anything. The Nine Heavens Mysterious Purity Mirror is ranked third.
In other words, in terms of power alone, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Purity Mirror is the best among the Ten Treasures of the Universe.
Tsk tsk, he is indeed the son of luck! He almost missed such a precious magic weapon!
Although it is only one-ninth of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Purity Mirror, who can say for sure whether the other eight fragments can be collected in the future?
Feng Shao immediately ordered: "Shuanghua, bid 10,000 spirit stones."
Bai Shuanghua nodded and shouted loudly: "Ten thousand spirit stones!"
The eyes of the palace-dressed girl lit up, and she immediately shouted, "The bid for the No. 1 box is 10,000 spirit stones. Is there anyone who can offer a higher price?"
Ye Chen glanced at the No. 1 box with an unhappy look. If it wasn't for the fact that the person bidding just now was obviously a female voice, he would have wanted to put the other party on his must-kill list.
I finally found something I liked, but someone else snatched it away. It's outrageous!
Ye Chen shouted: "I'll give you 20,000 spirit stones!"
Before the girl in palace dress could say anything, the owner of the first box immediately offered a price: "30,000 spirit stones!"
Ye Chen shouted immediately after, “Fifty thousand spirit stones!”
"Sixty thousand spirit stones!"
The prices on both sides kept going higher and higher, confusing many people in the room. They stared at the bronze mirror on the stage, but after looking at it for a long time, they couldn't figure out what was going on.
How come this thing is worth so much money?
Lin Xiaoran also saw this scene and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Aunt Di, what is the origin of that bronze mirror? Why is the price so high?"
After looking at it for a while, Di Yu shook his head and said, "I can't tell. Maybe those two people saw the value of this bronze mirror and wanted to buy it?"
After thinking about it, Lin Xiaoran asked, "Why don't we take a picture of this mirror? Maybe it will be useful."
Di Yu said calmly: "Others only spend money to buy this bronze mirror because they know how to use it. You know nothing about this bronze mirror, so what can you do with it?"
Lin Xiaoran nodded: "It seems to be true. Then we won't make an offer."
Seeing that the price had reached 60,000 spirit stones, Ye Chen couldn't help but hesitate. The reason why he wanted to buy this bronze mirror was that he felt that this bronze mirror looked very similar to the one he had in his hand. He subconsciously felt that there might be some connection between the two bronze mirrors, so he wanted to buy it.
But if the cost was too much, he would not be willing to give it up. After all, he didn't know what the bronze mirror was for!
After a hesitation, the three bids were over. The girl in palace dress said with a smile, "Congratulations to the number one box for winning this bronze mirror!"
At the moment when the bronze mirror decided to belong to him, Ye Chen inexplicably felt that he seemed to have missed something important...
