Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Auction House (Part 3)
The auction at the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion was in full swing.
Various pills, spiritual artifacts, spirit grasses, and demon beast cubs were rapidly presented on stage, and then the cultivators present bid on each in turn. Of course, occasionally, one or two unsold items would appear, which the auctioneer, Zhuang Gongxie, would quickly put away once the ti was up.
"Next up for auction is a Tier Three Talisman Fragnt, the ’Thunder Talisman Manual.’ Due to its long history, this talisman manual has not been properly preserved for so ti, and so parts have been lost. Currently, this manual records four types of Tier Three Thunder Elent Talismans: the Five Ding Thunder-Calling Talisman, the Thunder Elent Shielding Talisman, the Zhengyang Fire Thunder Talisman, and the Purple Sky Thunder Escape Talisman. There are so signs of wear, but it still holds great reference value, suitable for fellow Daoists with considerable talent in talisman painting." Zhuang Gongxie introduced with a smile, looking at the audience below the stage.
As soon as Zhuang Gongxie finished speaking, the small teleportation array on the auction stage flashed, transmitting a worn, scorched, and battered blue ancient book. The book’s cover appeared neither like paper nor leather, as if it had been salvaged midway from a fire, looking extrely dilapidated.
"It’s actually a Tier Three Thunder Elent Talisman!"
"Who would spoil sothing so precious? Who burned such a talisman book?"
"What a pity it’s a fragnt! I wonder how badly it’s damaged!"
"Thunder Elent Spirit Talismans are the hardest to draw. Is it still valuable in such a broken state?"
"..."
With Zhuang Gongxie’s introduction, the cultivators in the audience began to discuss heatedly, most of them feeling deeply regretful about the loss of this talisman manual’s inheritance.
A Tier Three Talisman!
This is a highly valuable inheritance of the Hundred Cultivation Arts that can generate endless profits.
If it were a complete inheritance, relying on it, one could establish a Foundation Establishnt Clan, even a Golden Core Clan. Even within a sect, a Tier Three Talisman Maker still qualifies as a True Disciple.
Unfortunately, this is a fragnt.
However, for this very reason, it appears on the auction stage, and the low-tier Qi Refining cultivators have a chance to see its true form.
Sitting at the end of the audience, Li Mu suddenly beca tense, as the item he had been eagerly awaiting finally appeared at the auction.
Li Mu, excited and focused, stared at the ’Thunder Talisman Manual’ on the auction stage, holding the bidding order, just waiting for the auction to begin.
At this mont, Li Mu’s Innate Divine Power - Recognition of Ten Thousand Spirits took effect, and the true attribute information of the ’Thunder Talisman Manual’ appeared in the virtual character fra.
[Thunder Spirit Talisman Book (Sealed)]
[Grade: Tier Five Spiritual Treasure]
[Attributes: Thunder Elent Revival, Spiritual Carrier (Sealed), Artifact Spirit Thunder Control (Sealed), Thunder Self-generated (Sealed)]
[Status: Thunder Essence Dissipation, Loss of Spirituality, Departed Spirit Transformation]
[Made with the belly hide of a Tier Six Thunder Beast Demon Emperor and the Thunder Flood Dragon Essence Soul, this talisman treasure book suffered catastrophic damage, with the artifact spirit destroyed and spirituality dissipated, reduced to a mundane object. It requires the gathering of a million thunderbolt powers to repair it, and ten million thunderbolt powers to regenerate the Thunder Spirit. This talisman treasure book records a complete Tier Five Thunder Elent Talisman heritage. Abundant thunder primordial spirit power can gradually reveal the talisman’s heritage content.]
Seeing the true content of the ’Thunder Talisman Manual,’ Li Mu was stunned. Never did he expect that there would be a hidden gem at the auction. The talisman manual he had been yearning for was ultimately a scrapped Tier Five Spiritual Treasure, yet it also carried a complete Tier Five Thunder Elent Talisman inheritance.
Li Mu’s eyes were filled with fervor. No matter how many spirit stones it took, he had to acquire this ’Thunder Talisman Manual.’
"The bidding for this ’Thunder Talisman Manual’ starts at 30,000 lower spirit stones, with a bidding ti limit of 60 intervals. Now, let the bidding begin!" Zhuang Gongxie announced loudly, scanning the room.
As soon as Zhuang Gongxie finished speaking, all the bidders on site invested their divine sense into their bidding orders to track the current bid for the ’Thunder Talisman Manual.’
Bidder No. 32: 35,000. In the next second, this price was replaced by Bidder No. 7 with a bid of 40,000.
Bidder No. 11: 42,000
Bidder No. 123: 43,000
...
After fifty intervals, the auction price for the ’Thunder Talisman Manual’ reached 60,000 lower spirit stones, quoted by Bidder No. 7, and the rate of price change gradually stabilized.
The remaining bidding ti was 30 intervals.
Just when everyone thought that the ’Thunder Talisman Manual’ would land in the hands of Bidder No. 7, a new bid suddenly appeared: Bidder No. 641, quoting 70,000, directly adding 10,000 lower spirit stones.
"The latest bid: 70,000. Bidder No. 641, offers 70,000 lower spirit stones. Are there any other bidders? Only 20 intervals remaining, 19 intervals, ..." Zhuang Gongxie excitedly called out, scanning the room.
In VIP Room No. 7, a Foundation Establishnt Elder furrowed his brow, sowhat irritated by this sudden disruptor, decisively adding another 5,000 lower spirit stones to the base figure,
"75,000 now. Bidder No. 7’s latest offer, 12 intervals, ..." Zhuang Gongxie joyfully announced the new bid.
The next second, the auction price was once again refreshed by a new number.
"80,000! Bidder No. 641 has bid again!" Zhuang Gongxie shouted loudly.
In VIP Room No. 7, the Foundation Establishnt Elder’s face turned dark, feeling as if he had stepped in sothing unpleasant. Even a talisman fragnt had soone competing with him. He decisively added another 5,000.
"85,000. Bidder No. 7 has bid again, 10 intervals! 9 intervals, ..." Zhuang Gongxie began the countdown. However, this ti, Bidder No. 641 seemingly gave up and did not offer any further bids.
Just as everyone was expecting the auction to settle and the ’Thunder Talisman Manual’ to be claid by Bidder No. 7, a sudden number overrode Bidder No. 7’s offer.
"120,000. A last-minute bid. Bidder No. 641 has successfully acquired the ’Thunder Talisman Manual’ at a price of 120,000 lower spirit stones!" The auction ti stopped, and Zhuang Gongxie, recognizing the bidding order number, excitedly announced loudly.
As soon as Zhuang Gongxie finished, the bidders participating in the auction were collectively astonished, and the Qi Refining cultivators collectively buzzed with excitent.
"Wow! What a successful sneak attack, which Daoist made the move?!"
"Bidder No. 641 is formidable! Successfully outmaneuvered the Foundation Establishnt elder!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this price increase was brutal! I originally thought Bidder No. 641 was artificially inflating the price, never expected a final show of dominance."
"This fellow Daoist is ruthless! Spending 120,000 lower spirit stones for this useless talisman manual!"
"Number 7 should be from the Huang Family, the Tier Two Spirit Talisman Master - Master Huang Ling. This fellow Daoist has truly offended the Huang Family!"
...
In the audience, the Qi Refining cultivators looked around, constantly discussing.
Bidding Order: No. 641, this number obviously indicates a person sitting in the hall, unlike the guests in the VIP rooms, who usually rank higher. Many Qi Refining cultivators were keen to know which Daoist had helped vent their anger.
In this auction, the Top-Grade Foundation Establishnt Pill, Tier Three High-grade Spiritual Artifacts, and various top-quality spirit pills and spiritual artifacts were all purchased by the clan disciples and Foundation Establishnt elders from the VIP rooms. Only in this instance did Bidder No. 641 fiercely help them vent their anger, launching a surprise bid and snatching the spiritual object that the Foundation Establishnt elder in Room No. 7 was determined to obtain.
"Next, an auction for another spiritual object, Tier Three Spirit Water!" Zhuang Gongxie swiftly shifted the topic and began to introduce the next auction item.
