Chapter 125: Bidding for the Ling Yin Imperial Sword Technique
Translator: 549690339
However, as soon Wu Cai Immortal’s voice trailed off, another voice erged from a private room on the second floor.
“3,000 dium Grade Spirit Stones, that’s the highest this sword technique is worth. Any more would be overpriced,” the person declared.
After stating the bid, the person added another comnt:
“Wu Cai, you might as well give up. I know you’re not really interested, so why waste any more ti?”
As the person’s voice faded, Wu Cai Immortal did not retort.
Then, amid quiet discussions amongst the crowd, no further bids were made. Seeing that the ti was ripe, Steward Cheng began the countdown.
“3,000 dium Grade Spirit Stones, for the first ti…”
“3,000 dium Grade Spirit Stones, for the second ti…”
“If there are no further bids, the Phosphor Fire Sword Technique will be sold.”
Once Steward Cheng finished speaking and waited for a mont, seeing no signs of further interest, he raised the auction hamr.
With a loud “bang,” it struck down.
“3,000 dium Grade Spirit Stones, for the third ti, sold!”
Clearly, as that Golden Core Cultivator had said, the Phosphor Fire Sword Technique was indeed worth 3,000 dium Grade Spirit Stones — any more, and it would have been overpriced.
The Phosphor Fire Sword Technique was thus claid by the Golden Core Immortal in the private room on the second floor.
Lin Jing also took note that, according to the mysterious Golden Core Cultivator, a sword technique equivalent to a Golden Core Stage spell was valued at 3,000 dium Grade Spirit Stones.
Considering the information on the pamphlet, the Ling Yin Imperial Sword Technique was also a sword art equivalent to the Golden Core Stage; hence, their prices should not differ greatly.
With this in mind, Lin Jing felt reassured and even more confident about securing the Ling Yin Imperial Sword Technique.
Following this, the first item was taken away and the second item was brought up for auction.
Lin Jing did not bid but quietly observed the proceedings.
Soon, the second item was also acquired by a bidder.
Next, the third…
the fourth… the fifth items were successively auctioned off, with Lin Jing remaining silent throughout.
After the fifth item was removed, Steward Cheng spoke up again.
“Now, let’s introduce the next item for auction.”
As Steward Cheng’s voice fell, the shapely maid carrying a wooden box stepped onto the stage, which contained, as expected, a jade slip.
After the maid placed the wooden box on the display table, Steward Cheng continued:
“This item, the Ling Yin Imperial Sword Technique, is surely familiar to everyone from the booklet.”
“Moreover…”
“Let share with you all so news which we discovered just yesterday in the ancient records – the creator of this Ling Yin Imperial Sword Technique was none other than the Ling Yin True Monarch, from two thousand years ago.”
As Steward Cheng’s voice settled, the hall erupted in noise, with people starting to discuss excitedly and so even sharing the story of Ling Yin True Monarch with those who were unaware.
“Ling Yin True Monarch was a Nascent Soul Cultivator and was extrely famous two thousand years ago…”
anwhile, Lin Jing furrowed his brows. He had harbored so hope of acquiring this sword technique.
But if that were the case, he feared that its starting price would be beyond what he could afford.
After all, it was a sword technique created by a Nascent Soul True Monarch…
“Please, everyone, be quiet and listen to explain,” Steward Cheng, seeing the uproar below, quickly requested silence.
After Steward Cheng spoke, the hall gradually quieted down.
“Ling Yin True Monarch had the cultivation of the Nascent Soul Stage, and the sword technique he created is, naturally, exceptionally extraordinary.”
“Moreover, this sword technique consists of nine levels, mastering the highest of which is equivalent to a Nascent Soul spell.”
“Unfortunately, the last three levels of the Ling Yin Imperial Sword Technique have been lost, leaving only the first six levels, which ans its full power cannot be unleashed.”
“Additionally…”
“The most significant feature of the Ling Yin Imperial Sword Technique is its invisibility; only with an invisible and shadowless Flying Sword can its greatest power be realized.”
“If any other Flying Sword is used, it instead gives the enemy forewarning, losing the elent of surprise and thus failing to utilize the true might of the Ling Yin Imperial Sword Technique.”
“However…”
Speaking of which, Steward Cheng’s tone shifted:
“Don’t underestimate these first six layers; they are already no weaker than ordinary Golden Core spells.”
“Considering everything, the starting bid for the Ling Yin Imperial Sword Technique is 2,000 dium Grade Spirit Stones, and each increase must be no less than 100 dium Grade Spirit Stones.”
“Now, the auction begins…”
With the fall of the auctioneer’s hamr, the auction officially started. “I bid 2,000 dium Grade Spirit Stones.”
No sooner had Steward Cheng finished speaking than soone in the first floor’s hall took the lead.
“I bid 2,500, and c’mon, Old Zhao, as a family head, bidding just 2,000 dium Grade Spirit Stones, aren’t you embarrassed?”
Clearly, these two knew each other.
Thinking of the price for the Phosphor Fire Sword Technique just monts ago, Lin Jing instantly had an idea.
“3,000…”
No sooner had Lin Jing spoken than he was interrupted.
“I bid 3,000 Spirit Stones.”
The voice ca from the second floor, from within the Li Family’s private box, and it was a clear and pleasant-sounding voice of a woman.
The bidding had barely started, and the price had already reached 3,000 dium Grade Spirit Stones.
Soone had interrupted Lin Jing, so he had no choice but to speak again:
“3,100 dium Grade Spirit Stones.”
This ti, Lin Jing opened his mouth, adding only the minimum of 100 dium Grade Spirit Stones.
“3,200 dium Grade Spirit Stones,” the person previously referred to as Old Zhao, the family head, spoke up again.
“Patriarch Qu, I’ve increased the bid, are you following or not?” “Following, 3,300 dium Grade Spirit Stones.”
“Then I bid 3,500,” ca from that Zhao family head again.
Clearly, their relationship was contentious, which led to their aggressive bidding against each other at this mont.
“3,700…” “3, 800…
“4,000…”
The two were unrelenting in their competition, and soon the price had soared to 4,000 dium Grade Spirit Stones.
Lin Jing frowned and pondered; the two of them were now purely trying to spite each other.
If they were allowed to continue like this, where the price would end up was anybody’s guess, and it had to be stopped in ti.
“4,500…”
Again, it was the clear-voiced woman from the second floor Li Family’s box.
However, just as she was speaking, Lin Jing interrupted her.
“5,000, dium Grade Spirit Stones.”
Suddenly, the auction hall fell silent, even the two previously bidding went quiet, clearly, the price had exceeded their budget.
“5,000 Spirit Stones, for the first ti.”
After a while, seeing no one starting to bid, Steward Cheng began the countdown.
But a mont later, the crowd within the hall was looking at Lin Jing and whispering among themselves, yet still, no one placed a bid. “5,000 dium Grade Spirit Stones, for the second ti.”
Steward Cheng’s voice rose again, enticingly:
“If no one bids, then the Ling Yin Imperial Sword Technique will be sold…”
At that mont, the voice from the second floor rang out again.
“5,100, dium Grade Spirit Stones.”
This ti, however, her voice seed sowhat urgent.
Seeing this, Steward Cheng quickly exclaid:
“Good, 5,100…”
Without waiting for Steward Cheng to finish, Lin Jing imdiately placed his bid, without a mont’s hesitation.
“5,300 dium Grade Spirit Stones.”
The tone of his voice conveyed confidence, blurring the line between bluff and certainty..
