Chapter 1056: Chapter 1056: I’ll Take This Ga! Chapter 1056: Chapter 1056: I’ll Take This Ga! Fortunately, Huang Xiaolong’s soul was strong enough, otherwise, the sudden surge of information would have burst his head.
In just an instant, Huang Xiaolong understood what was happening!
It turned out that this tal fragnt indeed contained a hidden secret!
First, the surface of the tal fragnt was coated with a layer of aura that shielded the secret within. Thus, most cultivators, scanning with their divine sense, would be deceived.
Huang Xiaolong’s divine sense was much stronger than anyone present, several grades higher, which is why he spotted the anomaly.
Then, Huang Xiaolong bombarded it with his divine sense, piercing through the camouflaging aura and directly extracting the essence of the tal fragnt!
What is essence?
It turned out that this tal fragnt was the most critical part of a magical artifact!
The stream of information that had flowed into Huang Xiaolong’s mind was about this magical artifact’s specifics and so refinent thods.
This magical artifact was the treasured artifact of a sect from thousands of years ago.
The sect was called ‘Golden Bell Sect’.
This magical artifact was known as ‘Divine teor Bell.’
It was said that ringing the ‘Divine teor Bell’ would annihilate everything within a hundred miles, be it human or animal! Even a mighty titan at the Heavenly and Earthly Manifestation realm would be crushed to powder by its sound.
However, the ‘Divine teor Bell’ had shattered, leaving only its most critical part.
But with the refinent thod of the ‘Divine teor Bell’ and various formations, Huang Xiaolong could use this tal fragnt as a foundation to refine and restore this once supre magical artifact!
However, the ‘Divine teor Bell’ required 49 cycles of refinent, each enhancent dramatically increasing the artifact’s power. If all 49 cycles were completed, then the ‘Divine teor Bell’ would beco one of the most terrifying magical artifacts in the overseas cultivators’ world, surpassing even the treasured artifacts of major sects like Shushan, Ei, and Kunggang, possibly even stronger!
But, the strongest expert of the ‘Golden Bell Sect’ had only successfully refined the ‘Divine teor Bell’ 38 tis, after which they dared not continue.
Why?
First, each refinent required materials that exponentially increased in quantity. Eventually, the sect couldn’t sustain the cost.
Second, as the refinents progressed, the more mana and divine sense were needed. The requirents for the refinent technique also increased.
Third, should the refinent fail, the ‘Divine teor Bell’ would shatter and explode, leaving only the core tal fragnt. This ans that a failure would wipe out all previous efforts, labor, and materials.
This tal fragnt was left from when the last Sect Master of ‘Golden Bell Sect,’ after gathering materials and attempting the 39th refinent, ended in failure.
The Divine teor Bell exploded.
This failure not only severely damaged the sect’s vitality after expending all their resources but also led to their destruction by hostile sects after losing their treasured artifact.
“Sheesh, looks like refining this magical artifact into a perfect state with 49 tis is no small feat~~ I guess since its creation, no one has managed to completely refine it to perfection, otherwise, it wouldn’t have exploded and left just this fragnt~~” Huang Xiaolong chuckled internally. At the sa ti, he had perfectly absorbed all the symbols, scripts, and formations, mastering them completely.
All of this happened in a very short ti.
At that mont, the auctioneer ngqi declared loudly, “Next, please place your bids on this mysterious magical artifact~~~ The starting bid is… 50 top-grade Spirit Stones, and each incrent must be no less than 10 top-grade Spirit Stones.”
It seed that the auction house was not very confident. Since these are part of the last batch of artifacts unearthed from ancient ruins, being the grand finale, the starting bid should be exceedingly high.
But this tal fragnt was priced at only 50 top-grade Spirit Stones!
Such a low starting price was enough to show that the auction house itself wasn’t optimistic about this tal fragnt.
In fact, the auction house had its rules, aning that all treasures excavated from a particular ruin or relic had to be sold off entirely, regardless of their quality. Keeping even one could bring bad luck, affecting future business.
So, even though it was known that this tal fragnt was junk, it still had to be auctioned off, even if it ant ridicule, as rules are ultimately unbreakable.
As soon as the starting price was announced, whether in the hall or in the private rooms, not only was there no active bidding, but also mocking laughter erupted—
“Heh, do they really take us for fools? 50 top-grade spirit stones might not be much, but they’re enough to buy a decent flying sword. And they dare to sell such a piece of junk?”
“Co on, our spirit stones aren’t blown in by the wind.”
“This is downright insulting!”
…
Facing these doubting voices, the host ngqi also felt imnse pressure.
Several minutes passed, and there was still no bidding.
Just then, Huang Xiaolong lazily said, “Since nobody else is willing to bid, I might as well form a good relationship with the auction house. I’ll take this lot. I’ll add 10 top-grade spirit stones. Hmm—60 top-grade spirit stones.”
Since Huang Xiaolong knew the secret of this tal fragnt, he was definitely determined to get it. Of course, this tal fragnt was the highest value treasure of the entire auction and had the highest quality, most astonishing lethality, and destructive power. It was simply a pearl covered in dust.
As soon as Huang Xiaolong placed his bid, the scene imdiately beca lively.
All kinds of mockery, all kinds of schadenfreude, all kinds of uproar…
Inside Xia Ding’s luxurious suite.
“Hahaha—this kid actually bought a piece of scrap tal!” Xia Ding laughed, his smile full of scorn. “It seems he understands nothing!”
A subordinate asked, “Young master, should we drive up the price?”
“Hmm?” Xia Ding looked extrely displeased, “Shut up! Do you want to bid for that scrap tal? Are you trying to make look foolish? Humph! I do care about my own reputation!”
Yes, a scion listed on the Hidden Dragon List, if he really were to bid on a piece of scrap tal, he would inevitably beco a talking point, a laughingstock.
“Hahaha—” Xia Ding laughed loudly toward Huang Xiaolong’s private room, saying with relentless mockery, “What? You think you can pick up a bargain? Hahahaha—such ignorance! In this overseas world, there’s never such a thing as a bargain, especially not under my watch! Rest assured, I have no interest in competing with you for this ‘treasure lump.’ Feel free to worship it all you want, haha—”
Xia Ding’s mocking words imdiately provoked another burst of laughter.
Huang Xiaolong just smiled indifferently and said nothing.
“Xiaolong, you always have your reasons for what you do. Surely, that tal fragnt must hide so secrets, right?” Ying Aoshan still understood her man very well.
“Of course,” Huang Xiaolong replied with a mysterious smile. Then, he also smiled faintly toward Xia Ding’s suite. “The truth is often in the hands of the wise. Most diocre, self-conceited people are often deceived by appearances.”
“Pfft—Xiaolong, you are quite philosophical with your words now,” Song Yuru laughed.
ngqi, seemingly afraid that Huang Xiaolong would back out, imdiately picked up the wooden hamr and slamd it down.
Bam—!
A definitive strike.
‘Sheesh—I thought it wouldn’t sell, thank you, big spender—’ ngqi swept a relieved glance toward Huang Xiaolong’s private room.
Then, she arranged for the auction house staff to deliver the tal fragnt to Huang Xiaolong’s private room.
“Phew—this ti, I really picked up a bargain. Actually, I don’t even need to bid for other treasures anymore. Because, I’ve got the best quality treasure. Genius Xia, you’ve lost to this ti,” Huang Xiaolong licked his lips. “All the treasures he bid on will lose to ! Today, he is destined to make wedding clothes for —hahahaha—”
“Boring, how can none of these people play against ?” Huang Xiaolong felt lonely as snow.
