Chapter 423: Ice and Fire Without Form
"The fourth-level water and fire spirit core comes from a ten-thousand-year-old giant dragon. It has the transformation of both water and fire and is extremely magical. It has also been nurtured by the giant dragon for ten thousand years, and its grade has reached the fourth-level top grade..."
The auction was hosted by the shopkeeper Jin Dayuan, who held a spiritual crystal the size of a child's fist in his chubby little hand and showed it to everyone.
Jin Dayuan also had a polite smile on his fat face, and he said loudly: "I won't introduce the wonderful uses of this thing in detail, as all the Taoist friends present are knowledgeable.
"The starting price for this item is two thousand high-grade spirit stones, and each bid increase must not be less than one hundred high-grade spirit stones."
Two thousand high-grade spirit stones, this price is not cheap. After all, it is just a spirit object, whether it can be refined into a fourth-level magic weapon is still unclear.
The higher the level of the spiritual object, the more difficult it is to refine. Even a master of refining equipment cannot say that he is familiar with the characteristics of various spiritual objects, let alone that he can refine spiritual objects without failure.
Using weapon refining techniques to guide the power of spiritual objects and melt them into magical weapons is extremely complicated in itself.
Luck is also very important in determining success or failure.
On the other hand, Yuanying Zhenjun were rare after all. Ninety-nine percent of those present were Jindan Zhenren.
There are always many inconveniences for the Jindan level to control the power of the fourth level. Except for a very few top-level Jindan, few people can use this thing.
There was silence in the hall for a while before someone raised his number plate and shouted, "Two thousand and one."
There were more than a thousand seats surrounding the central platform in the hall, and it was now densely packed with people. If this man had not held up his number plate, Jin Dayuan might not have been able to see him.
At auctions of this level, participants are all well-known figures.
The cultivators of various sects gathered together and were not afraid of being robbed of their treasures. If they really had the ability, they would not care about this little money.
This is Wanfeng City. With the Taoist Master Huashen in charge, who would dare to mess around here?
Besides, although the items being traded are valuable, they are not rare treasures. There is no need to hide them.
Any cultivator who is really concerned will spend money to rent a room upstairs.
Because of this, the auction was lively but not intense.
After the man called out the price, he waited for a while before others started to raise the price.
When the amount increased to 3,000 high-quality spirit stones, other people's willingness to buy had dropped significantly.
Gao Xian seized the opportunity and directly raised the price to three thousand five hundred high-quality spirit stones, successfully acquiring this fourth-order water and fire spirit crystal.
Jin Dayuan didn’t even know who had bid for the spirit crystal. He just congratulated them and moved on to auction the next spirit object.
Soon, several people came to the room with boxes and handed over the fourth-level water and fire spirit crystal to Gao Xian in person.
The water and fire spirit crystals are divided into black and red colors. With a little bit of magic power, the black and red colors will flow, merge, and then quickly separate, which is quite interesting to watch.
Gao Xian was playing with the water and fire crystals, and Qing Qing was responsible for paying the money.
There were 50,000 high-quality spirit stones in her storage bag, and she was now counting them slowly one by one.
The two foundation-building monks on the opposite side waited patiently. Three thousand five hundred high-quality spirit stones were not a small number, so they should check it out.
Furthermore, they all knew Gao Xian.
A few days ago, after the battle at Tianxiang Tower, Gao Xian became famous in Wanfeng City. All cultivators who had seen that battle would remember this handsome man in green clothes and carrying a sword.
As for Yue Shenxiu, who was wearing moon-white Taoist robes and sitting nearby, the two did not recognize him.
However, both of them could see that this woman was extraordinary. Naturally, they had to be careful with their words and actions, and they were also respectful to Qingqing and did not dare to be rude.
Qingqing looked reluctant as she found out 3,500 top-grade spirit stones. The two foundation-building cultivators opposite her did not dare to be careless either. They checked each of them and only took out a book voucher and asked Gao Xian to sign it after confirming that everything was correct.
This thing is equivalent to a receipt. Gao Xian took a look and found nothing wrong with it, so he signed his name on it.
Two copies of the book voucher, one for each.
After completing all the formalities, the two foundation-building monks bowed and said goodbye and left.
In the middle, Yue Shenxiu bought two special spiritual objects, and after getting the things, Yue Shenxiu left in a hurry.
Gao Xian stayed in the room until the next day, waiting for the auction of Master Ziyuan's Vajra Relics.
The price of ten thousand high-quality spirit stones is enough to discourage most of the cultivators present.
The reason why the Vajra Relics are so expensive is that the relics may contain the inheritance of Master Ziyuan.
Master Ziyuan is a powerful person from the Dragon Elephant Palace, and is actually a fourth-level Nascent Soul.
If it can be confirmed that the Vajra Relic contains the magical power inherited from the Dragon Elephant Palace, then someone would buy 50,000 high-quality spirit stones.
The problem is that no one is sure what is in the Vajra Relic. It would be very frustrating if there is nothing in it.
Or obtaining some insignificant secret inheritance is meaningless.
All Mingzhou practitioners follow the Taoist path, although 99% of them do not believe in Taoist gods.
Even fewer people are interested in the inheritance of the Dragon Elephant Palace.
Gao Xian only had to bid twice and added five hundred high-quality spirit stones to successfully obtain the item.
He didn't know whether the Vajra Relic was useful or not, but he was practicing with the Great Vajra, so he had to give it a try.
The Seven Evils, Five Elements, and Six Combinations sects all gave him large sums of spirit stones, so he didn't feel bad at all for spending tens of thousands of high-quality spirit stones.
Gao Xian originally thought that he had a huge sum of money, but at the auction he found that this amount of money was nothing, not enough, not enough at all.
He is actually interested in a lot of good things.
But he still had to make a living, and he couldn't spend all his money at once. That wasn't his style.
After waiting for another day, Jin Dayuan finally took out the map of the Zhenghua Underground Palace.
It is said to be a map, but in fact it is a twelve-petal golden lotus with simple workmanship.
Jin Dayuan held the golden lotus in his hand and introduced: "This object retains a fragment of divine consciousness, so the map of the Zhenghua Underground Palace is incomplete. Even so, this object is related to the inheritance of the Tianhua Sect, and its value is inestimable.
"I guarantee on the reputation of Wanbaolou that the incomplete spiritual mark inside has never been opened..."
Jin Dayuan boasted for a while, but the reactions of many cultivators at the scene were very indifferent.
It has been many years since the Tianhua Sect was destroyed, and in fact, few people know about this sect.
The value of a cave ruin left by an ancient sect is difficult to estimate. However, the risks involved are also extremely huge.
Moreover, it is an incomplete map.
The starting price for the Zhenghua Underground Palace Map was three thousand high-grade spirit stones, and Gao Xian bought it for four thousand high-grade spirit stones.
After Gao Xian got the thing, he took a look and saw that the incomplete spiritual imprint inside condensed into a ball and merged into one with this ancient magical weapon.
Forcibly opening the mark of spiritual consciousness would inevitably damage the magic weapon.
Gao Xian was also relieved, as this thing had indeed never been opened.
He was also afraid that someone had deliberately set him up and made this thing to tempt him.
On second thought, even if others wanted to deal with him, there was no need to go through so much trouble.
There were too many people at the auction, and no one could control everything. Besides, how did others know that he would be interested in this thing? Just because he practiced the Great Five Elements Kung Fu? It was a bit absurd.
Gao Xian didn't rush to leave after buying something. It's rare to come across such a large auction, so it's fine to stay here and watch the fun without buying anything.
At least you can see the real rare treasures, which is different from looking at picture albums.
With his magic mirror, he can see the details of various objects clearly.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
After a few days of auctions, Gao Xian really learned a lot and his level of identification improved greatly.
Qingqing just watched the fun with Gao Xian. She was too young and hadn't even mastered the sword skills, let alone other things.
After the auction, Gao Xian stayed at Yunzhu Residence and did not go out. He was famous and there were always all kinds of cultivators coming to visit him every day.
Some wanted to make friends, while others wanted to challenge him to a duel. Not to mention winning, they could brag to others after they had fought him a few moves.
There are also people who want to take refuge with him and want to borrow money from him. It can be said that there are all kinds of people.
Gao Xian didn't have the heart to mess around with this group of people, so he left it to Ma Qianjun to play the bad guy and keep all the visitors out.
Even when Chu Yuheng came to see him, he refused to see him.
This little woman has too many little calculations. It's easy to flirt with her, but it's too difficult to get the upper hand. He doesn't have the time or energy for this now.
Gao Xian fiddled with the Vajra Relic for two days. He could sense the divine consciousness within it, which was as perfect as a pearl and indestructible.
This divine consciousness must contain secret magical powers and inheritance, and it corresponds to the Vajra.
As soon as his Vajra reaches the master's level of perfection, he should use this divine consciousness to break the limit of the Vajra.
It would be a bad idea to accept this divine consciousness now.
Gao Xian focused all his energy on the water and fire spirit core. It would be a good idea to upgrade the thirty-six levels of ice and fire before entering Ziyun Valley.
However, things turned out to be much more troublesome than he had expected.
The fourth-level water and fire spirit core contains the imprint of the monster's powerful spiritual consciousness during its lifetime, and its spirit core also has many naturally generated restrictions.
Gao Xian then realized that even if there was a corresponding spiritual object, he couldn't upgrade it whenever he wanted.
If you want to upgrade to the Thirty-Sixth Level of Ice and Fire, you must understand the restrictions of the Water and Fire Spirit Cores.
He had some knowledge of restrictions and runes, but the fourth-level spirit core restriction was too advanced for him.
At this point, Gao Xian was not in a hurry. If there was no way to take a shortcut, then he could just move forward slowly.
His Great Five Elements Kung Fu is good at controlling the power of the five elements.
In the past, he took too many shortcuts and lacked research on the five elements of magic.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he used the Great Five Elements Technique to analyze the water and fire spirit cores.
Even if he cannot unlock the spirit core for the time being, he can still make progress in the Great Five Elements Kung Fu.
He just happened to have a copy of the "Five Elements Book" in his hand, which was a secret method of inheriting the Five Elements Kung Fu and explained the Five Elements very clearly.
Gao Xian had read it twice before, and always felt that the content was obscure and profound, and too complicated, making him a little dizzy to read.
This time I would start with the water and fire spirit cores, look up explanations in the "Book of Five Elements", and then come back to the corresponding Five Elements Kung Fu, and slowly I would get started.
On July 15th, the Jindan Zhenren from the thirty-six sects gathered in Wanfeng Sect.
The Wanfeng Sect also sent a team of more than 200 people, together with nearly 1,000 cultivators from 36 sects, to rush to Ziyun Valley on the Golden Crow flying ship.
The Golden Crow flying ship has three floors and many cabins. A Jindan Zhenren like Gao Xian was given a separate room.
The journey to Ziyun Valley is long, and the Golden Crow flying ship will take at least a month to fly.
Ziyun Valley is dangerous, and the companions from the Thirty-Six Sects are also in danger.
Most of the Jindan Zhenren from various sects took this opportunity to make friends and form various alliances.
The thirty-six sects do not have harmonious relations with each other, for example, Gao Xian and Yue Lun Sect have a great feud.
If the Yuelun Sect wants to find an ally, it will definitely look for one that has a grudge against the Qingyun Sect, so that the two sects will have a basis for joining forces.
Gao Xian didn't care about these things. The temporary alliance was worthless.
He concentrated on studying the water and fire spirit cores and gradually made progress.
The Thirty-Six Levels of Ice and Fire is a powerful secret technique for controlling ice and fire, and it has the same origin as the transformation of water and fire spirit cores.
After dozens of days of seclusion, Gao Xian never showed up.
One day, Yun Qingxuan came and knocked on the door. "Junior brother, the Purple Cloud Valley is just ahead. How are you?"
Gao Xian in the room slowly opened his eyes. The water and fire spirit core in his hand had completely disappeared at some point.
"Brother, I'll be right there."
Gao Xian was talking, but most of his attention was on Fengyue Baojian. After struggling for dozens of days, he finally made a breakthrough.
Ice and Fire Have No Phase: Extremely cold and extremely yang, ice and fire become one. (1/5000000)
