Chapter 78: Chapter 78: Ten Thousand Souls Blood Sail, Don’t Be Your Own Undoing
The break was over.
The auction’s second half began.
"Fellow Daoists, next up, we have spirit ship components!"
"There are sixteen components in total, each with a different function, but all of them are exceptionally effective!"
"Any Daoist who wishes to further enhance their spirit ship’s performance should pay close attention..."
Deng Jinhai’s enthusiastic voice rang out, a smile on his face.
In the Island Cultivation Realm, the importance of spirit ships was undeniable.
The cultivators present all perked up.
The Foundation Establishnt powers in the VIP booths, in particular, watched the center of the hall with glittering eyes.
’It’s finally starting...’
Su Ye sat up straight, his gaze fixed on Deng Jinhai.
"The first component is the Ten Thousand Souls Blood Sail!"
However, despite being called a ’sail,’ what Deng Jinhai took out was a magnificent blood-colored stone shimring with crimson spiritual light?
"This is..." Su Ye stared intently.
That crimson hue felt... strangely similar to Weiyuan Immortal City’s City Defense Array, the Nine Nether Blood Sea Array...
"Everyone, please take a look..."
Deng Jinhai said with a grin, holding up the magnificent bloodstone.
"This item has been refined with a portion of the Nine Nether Blood Sea Array’s power, using over ten thousand living souls."
"When placed on the keel, it can use the power of the blood sail’s living souls to lift the ship’s hull, counteracting so of its weight and thereby increasing its speed."
"For a first-rank spirit ship, it can increase speed by at least thirty percent. It even has a noticeable effect on second-rank spirit ships!"
’What a great item!’
’A component that increases speed!’
Su Ye’s eyes flashed. This was exactly what he needed!
’With the Golden Sword Orchid’s performance, if I install the Ten Thousand Souls Blood Sail, its speed and maneuverability will completely surpass the Marrow Silver!’
On the auction stage, Deng Jinhai continued his unhurried introduction of the Ten Thousand Souls Blood Sail with a smile.
"Because it was refined by the Nine Nether Blood Sea Array, this item doesn’t have the usual side effects of a blood sacrifice..."
"The only requirent is to periodically feed the blood sail’s living souls with blood to recharge them. Otherwise..."
Deng Jinhai paused deliberately, building suspense.
"Otherwise what?"
Sure enough, an impatient guest in the audience called out.
"Otherwise, if the living souls go hungry, they won’t be able to provide any acceleration..." Deng Jinhai replied with a straight face.
"That’s... that’s it?" The guest was stunned. He had thought there was so hidden danger...
"Of course! What side effects could there be from sothing refined by the Nine Nether Blood Sea Array?"
Deng Jinhai chuckled.
"Everyone, you can bid with confidence."
"The starting price is one thousand five hundred Spirit Stones, and each bid must be an incrent of at least one hundred!"
Deng Jinhai’s words completely dispelled the cultivators’ worries!
"One thousand six hundred Spirit Stones!"
Before his voice had even faded, soone couldn’t help but shout a bid!
"One thousand eight hundred!"
The hall instantly grew lively, with bids rising and falling one after another!
Ship components that increased speed were already rare.
And the Ten Thousand Souls Blood Sail was not only powerful, but it also had no side effects!
It naturally triggered a bidding frenzy among the cultivators!
Soon, the price of the Ten Thousand Souls Blood Sail soared to two thousand four hundred Spirit Stones!
"Three thousand!"
Su Ye joined the bidding.
He had increased the bid by six hundred Spirit Stones in one go!
After his bid, the auction hall fell silent, the chorus of bids coming to a halt.
Three thousand Spirit Stones was already a considerable sum.
A mid-grade spirit ship, without any special Array requirents, would cost about the sa to build!
"Three thousand one hundred."
After a long mont, a voice finally ca from another VIP booth.
They had stuck to the minimum, adding just one hundred Spirit Stones.
"Three thousand five hundred!"
Su Ye continued bidding without hesitation!
"Three thousand six hundred!"
The barrier Array dissipated, revealing a white-haired old man with a Foundation Establishnt cultivation base.
"Fellow Daoist, I am Ning Yishun of Xiyuan’s Ning Clan. Could you do
a favor?"
’Xiyuan’s Ning Clan...’
A sea chart appeared in Su Ye’s mind.
He found that the Ning Family’s Xiyuan Island was on the other side of the Cyan Profound Sect’s waters, nearly halfway across from Donglong Island...
’So far away? Why should I care about you?!’
’Besides... do you even know who you’re bidding against?’
Su Ye sneered inwardly.
The Arrays in the VIP booths could not only block Divine Sense, but they also muffled voices to ensure the guests’ privacy.
"Four thousand!"
Unmoved by Ning Yishun’s words, Su Ye threw down four thousand Spirit Stones, his posture radiating determination!
"Hmph!"
Ning Yishun’s expression turned ugly as he snorted coldly.
But... he didn’t raise the bid again.
After all, the other party was also in a VIP booth. The Ten Thousand Souls Blood Sail was good, but this was only the first item of the second half.
It would be unwise to exhaust so much capital on it.
"Alright, four thousand Spirit Stones going once... four thousand Spirit Stones sold for the third call!"
"Congratulations to this honored guest on winning the Ten Thousand Souls Blood Sail!"
Deng Jinhai bead. The price was slightly higher than his estimated final bid.
He was in a good mood, and his opinion of Su Ye, who had bought the Ten Thousand Souls Blood Sail, improved considerably.
"Oh, by the way... allow
to state that the Immortal City Auction guarantees fairness and safety."
"We have a zero-tolerance policy for prying into guests’ privacy or attempting to kill them for their treasures!"
"Most of the living souls in this Ten Thousand Souls Blood Sail are beast souls, but there are also six hundred and seventy-five souls from Law Enforcent Tribulation Cultivators from within the Immortal City’s domain..."
"Let
add one more thing to remind all you Daoists: don’t bring trouble upon yourselves..."
Deng Jinhai glanced at the indignant Ning Yishun, who had been trying to pull rank, and said this with a grin.
Ning Yishun’s face paled in alarm.
He realized that by revealing himself and making a veiled threat, he had violated one of the Immortal City’s taboos!
He gave a sheepish smile and quickly retreated behind his barrier Array.
Certain ideas that had been forming in his mind instantly vanished like smoke!
...
The auction continued.
Many extraordinary ship components appeared one after another!
"The Celestial Light Purifying Fla Lamp!"
"After being filled with Spirit Stones, this item can release a celestial light as brilliant as day."
"It can disperse extraordinary mists that possess oceanic spiritual properties, and it can also suppress yin-cold auras, ghosts, and other evil entities."
"Any Daoist wishing to explore the distant seas beyond the Radiant Light region cannot afford to miss this item..."
However, after Deng Jinhai finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall grew cold.
There were very few bidders, and the scattered bids that were made only increased the price by five or ten Spirit Stones at a ti.
"Explore the distant seas..." Su Ye shook his head.
The conditions in the distant seas were unknown, and the risks were imnse.
Even a second-rank spirit ship could be destroyed and its crew killed if its luck was bad...
"Forget it. I’m out of Spirit Stones. Let’s go."
Having lost interest, Su Ye stood up and rang a bell to summon an attendant, preparing to leave through a secret passage.
"Leaving? Alright..."
Luo Xiyin and Luo Qing’e had no objections. They had already acquired the items they needed.
...
「Half an hour later.」
The Golden Sword Orchid, now equipped with the Ten Thousand Souls Blood Sail, was on its way back to Donglong Island.
Feeling the nearly forty percent increase in speed, Su Ye was quite satisfied!
On this trip to Weiyuan Immortal City, all his goals—spreading the news, obtaining Spiritual Objects for cultivation, acquiring an extraordinary ship component... had been achieved!
’Everything is ready...’
Su Ye turned his head and gazed at the gradually receding Weiyuan Immortal City, his eyes deep with thought.
’The grand auction held once every ten years?’
’The next ti this grand auction is held, I will definitely be here as a Foundation Establishnt cultivator!’
