Forced to Be a Villain: Starting With My Brain Extraction System Chapter 67: Clear Water Mind Art

"Ladies and gentlen, now that all the other items have been sold, it is ti for the final item of this auction."

After confirming that the maid had safely delivered the lotus to Tianyu’s room, Yan Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief. So, without wasting another mont, she gracefully turned back to the stage and began the final segnt of the auction.

"The last item we have prepared for this auction is, as you might have guessed, a Divine Sense thod."

Yan Xi first announced the item’s category before slightly waving her hand. A faint shimr of light danced around her fingers as a beautiful jade floated into view.

"Clear Water Mind Art, a Xuan Peak Grade Divine Sense thod. As a technique that not only strengthens one’s perception but can also be used offensively, I believe I don’t need to explain its value, do I?"

Yan Xi said with a graceful smile.

Just as she ntioned, a Divine Sense thod was directly tied to the cultivation of one’s consciousness, far rarer and more precious than ordinary cultivation techniques.

Moreover, the majority of cultivators could only dream of obtaining one, as great sects or ancient clans often monopolized such thods.

Sure enough, the mont she introduced the item, multiple divine senses from the first floor imdiately extended out, probing the jade that floated in midair.

However, despite it being the final item of the auction, the atmosphere lacked the earlier excitent.

After all, while a Divine Sense thod was indeed a rare and valuable art, it wasn’t sothing that could directly boost one’s strength in the short term, was it?

Still, it was undoubtedly an excellent technique to possess during the Foundation Establishnt Realm, useful for tempering perception and ntal clarity.

And when aiming to form the Golden Core, every bit of strengthened foundation mattered.

’Divine Sense thod?’

Mo Zhiran, who was silently watching the auction, was startled to hear what the last item was.

’Co to think of it, I seem to have a Divine Sense thod too.’

He suddenly rembered the jade slip he found inside Elder Shuren’s storage ring after killing him before. At that ti, he had only checked what was inside and put it away for later.

After all, without building a foundation, he couldn’t practice such thods.

Even now, with his cultivation at the Peak of Qi Condensation Realm, he could barely use the storage ring with his weak consciousness.

’I must practice such thods in this life if possible.’

As soone who was reborn, Zhiran knew better than anyone how important one’s consciousness was. In his last life, he almost died during Core Formation because his consciousness couldn’t hold.

Of course, he wouldn’t make the sa mistake as in his previous life.

"Alright, since everyone here should already understand the value of this thod, let’s start," Yan Xi said with a light smile.

"Just like before, the bidding will be conducted in Middle Grade Spirit Stones, and the starting price is thirty. Each bid cannot be lower than five middle-grade spirit stones. Now then, let the bidding begin!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the silent auction hall began to buzz with voices again from the first floor.

"Thirty-five middle-grade spirit stones."

"Forty middle-grade spirit stones."

"Forty-five middle-grade spirit stones."

Even though the Divine Sense thod wasn’t as valuable as the Spirit Nurturing Lotus for everyone, it was still highly sought after, especially since it was the Xuan Peak Grade thod that they could sell later after mastering it.

"Fifty-five middle-grade spirit stones."

The bidding turned fierce as Xiao Lan once again joined in, intending to at least take this thod with her.

Since her cultivation realm was progressing at a snail’s pace, she had plenty of ti to practice other thods. It would be a nice touch to strengthen her divine sense, wouldn’t it?

"Sixty middle-grade spirit stones."

"Sixty-five middle-grade spirit stones."

"Hmm?"

As the bidding intensified and the voices from each room echoed through the hall, Zhiran suddenly heard a soft female voice join in the middle.

Among a group of Foundation Establishnt cultivators, it wasn’t anything unusual, except that this voice was cold and stiff.

But Zhiran clearly felt he had heard that voice sowhere, although the mory was quite distant.

"Seventy-five middle-grade spirit stones."

As that cold voice echoed once again, Zhiran, who was sitting on his chair, suddenly sat up as if rembering who she was.

’Is she... i Xuan? Damn! So that demon girl disappeared to bid for this thod?’

How could he not recognize that voice?

Although it was distinctly different from her usual tone, so much so that even Xiao Lan didn’t find it familiar. But as a reborn person, Zhiran recognized it imdiately.

Even if they were never close in his previous life, their paths had crossed a few tis due to his ties with Tianyu. He had heard this voice of hers back then when she was fighting and killing soone.

"Eighty-five middle-grade spirit stones."

"Ninety middle-grade spirit stones."

’Damn, this girl is so rich. Why didn’t I know that?’

As Xiao Lan sat dejected beside him after losing the bid once again, Zhiran marveled at i Xuan’s wealth. This girl was really so rich that her fortune rivaled that of Foundation Establishnt cultivators.

’Should I take advantage of her?’

Just as Zhiran was having that nefarious thought, Yan Xi completed the auction of the final item with a loud shout,

"Hundred middle-grade spirit stones, once! Hundred middle-grade spirit stones, twice! Sold!"

"Congratulations to the guest from room number seven! This Divine Sense thod now belongs to this esteed guest," Yan Xi announced, looking a little confused.

After all, she knew that the room had been empty before. But suddenly, a female cultivator appeared and bid for the final item, taking it with her.

Although she was curious to know who that person was, she was far more eager to leave this place and et her Tianyu.

So, she imdiately smiled and bowed slightly to the audience.
