Chapter 493 Dao-Level Inheritance (Part 1)
"One million and a half!"
"Two million!"
"Two million and a half!"
"Three million!"
...
The bidding for the seventh-grade intermediate Dao weapon - Zhentian Seal quickly entered a white-hot stage, and soon surpassed the bid for the previous Burning Heaven Dao Sword, breaking through five million high-grade spirit stones in one fell swoop.
"VIP Room 8, bid five million high-grade spirit stones, is there any more!"
Wan Tiancheng's voice echoed in the auction hall, with a hint of excitement that was difficult to conceal.
This time, the venue fell into complete silence. Five million high-grade spirit stones were not a small amount for any force, enough to make most people want to retreat.
Wan Tiancheng looked around and saw that no one was bidding again, so he announced in time, "VIP Room 8 bids: five million high-grade spirit stones, the last 10 breaths, nine breaths,..."
"Five million and eight hundred thousand, congratulations to VIP Room 3 for successfully winning the Zhentian Seal!"
In the last breath, Wan Tiancheng confirmed the bidding result and announced with joy.
"Who!"
In VIP Room 8, Xin Tiansen, the leader of Xuanxiao Sect, was furious. His powerful divine thoughts rushed towards VIP Room 3, trying to break through the divine thought ban set by Wanbao Pavilion, but the protective formation of Wanbao Pavilion was activated instantly, like an invisible barrier, blocking Xin Tiansen's divine thoughts firmly outside. His face was ashen, and he felt the powerlessness and frustration of his divine thoughts, and his anger became even worse.
He almost won the Zhentian Seal, but he didn't expect that at the last moment, he would fail.
In VIP Room 5, Gao Hong, the leader of the Netherworld Sect, was also full of regret. At the last moment, he reported 5.5 million, but he was still a step slower, and the mysterious VIP Room 3 took away the Zhentian Seal at a higher price. His eyes flickered, and he secretly wondered in his heart, who is this VIP Room 3, who can take out such a huge amount of spiritual stones so easily.
Noticing this situation, Wan Tiancheng quickly comforted everyone: "Seniors, please don't be angry. Treasures are for those who are destined to get them. There are still three Taoist artifacts that have not been auctioned, which are not worse than the Zhentian Seal. Seniors still have a chance."
Wan Tiancheng coughed lightly, and the noise in the venue gradually subsided. Everyone's eyes were focused on him again. He smiled, and his eyes flashed with confidence and expectation for the upcoming auction of spiritual objects.
"Next, we will auction a 10,000-year-old seventh-level spiritual medicine, a 10,000-year-old medicinal age - the King of Medicine Spiritual Ginseng!"
As Wan Tiancheng's words fell, the auction table transmission array flashed, and a jade box was teleported over.
As Wan Tiancheng opened the jade box, a fresh and rich medicinal fragrance instantly filled the entire venue, making people feel refreshed.
The Medicine King Spiritual Ginseng lay quietly in the jade box. It was crystal clear, as if it was carved from the purest jade. It was slender in shape, with distinct roots, each of which emitted a faint light. The most amazing thing was that its surface was still wrapped with strands of spiritual power. These spiritual powers flowed slowly around the Medicine King Spiritual Ginseng like living things, forming a series of mysterious patterns.
"This Medicine King Spiritual Ginseng is ten thousand years old. It is only a hair away from its transformation to survive the thunder tribulation of the true spirit of plants and trees. I don't need to say much about its preciousness."
Wan Tiancheng smiled and glanced at the cultivators of the Void Refining Realm below the stage, introducing them.
"The Medicine King Ginseng is only a hair away from transformation! This kind of spiritual medicine is rare even in the entire spiritual world, and its value is immeasurable!" An old cultivator with white hair said excitedly.
"If I can get this spiritual medicine, not only will my cultivation level advance by leaps and bounds, but I will also have the opportunity to comprehend the way of plants and trees, which will be of great help to alchemy, weapon refining, and even the way of formations!" Another female cultivator of the Refining Void stage had a gleam in her eyes, and her words were full of longing after taking this spiritual medicine.
"It is indeed rare to see a medicine that is ten thousand years old, but I am afraid the price is also very high. Xu is powerless!"
...
With the appearance of the King of Medicine Spiritual Ginseng, the attention of the cultivators shifted to it, and heated discussions continued.
"Whether it is used to make pills or taken directly, this medicinal king spiritual ginseng can bring amazing effects. Fellow Taoists and seniors, the treasure will be obtained by those who are destined to get it. Next, it depends on your opportunities and strength." Wan Tiancheng was very satisfied with the reactions of the crowd. He smiled and continued to announce: "The starting price of the medicinal king spiritual ginseng: 200,000 high-grade spiritual stones, and the price will be increased by 10,000 high-grade spiritual stones each time. The time limit is 100 breaths. Now the auction officially starts."
Then, the bidding data changed one after another. Each number represented a cultivator's desire and pursuit for the medicinal king spiritual ginseng. The price soared like a wild horse, far exceeding the initial expectations.
"300,000!"
"350,000!"
"400,000, this thing, I am determined to get it!" A middle-aged refining cultivator in the hall stood up, and it was obvious that the demand for the medicinal king spiritual ginseng was particularly urgent.
"It depends on whether you have the ability, 500,000!"
...
A hundred breaths of time passed in a flash, and Wan Tiancheng happily announced: "Congratulations to VIP Room No. 12, 700,000 high-grade spirit stones successfully bid for the King of Medicine Spiritual Ginseng!"
At this time, in the hall, the faces of the cultivators of the Void Refining Sect became extremely ugly. They had limited financial resources, so they could only watch many rare spiritual objects at the auction flow into the hands of the VIP rooms, those top forces, and the big sects.
Wan Tiancheng keenly captured the subtle changes in the atmosphere in the field, and knew that the uneven distribution of resources was often the source of inspiring the fighting spirit and desire of the cultivators.
So, Wan Tiancheng coughed lightly and broke the short silence with a louder and more magnetic voice: "Fellow Daoists, don't be discouraged. The road of cultivation is long and full of variables. Today's loss may be tomorrow's gain. The next auction item is also a rare treasure. It may bring new hope to you."
Before he finished speaking, Wan Tiancheng gently waved his sleeves, and the auction stage flashed. On the auction stage, a green armored round shield appeared, exuding a heavy breath.
"Please look at the next auction item, the sixth-level top-grade defensive spiritual weapon-'Qingming Xuanwu Shield'. This shield is made of deep-sea ten thousand-year-old black iron fused with the scales of the rare spiritual beast Qingming Xuanwu. Not only is it extremely hard, it also contains the defensive formation of the Xuanwu beast. Once activated, it can form an extremely solid protective shield that can resist the attack of a combined strongman." Wan Tiancheng introduced in detail.
"Excuse me, Shopkeeper Wan, who made this weapon? Is it the work of Master Li?"
As soon as Wan Tiancheng finished his introduction, a cultivator of the Void Refining Sect asked with concern.
"Uh! No, this weapon is the work of Master Chen, a guest refiner of our pavilion. Although his refinement skills are not as well-known as Master Li's, he has unique insights and extraordinary attainments in the forging of defensive spiritual weapons. Master Chen is well versed in the defensive essence of the Xuanwu beast and has integrated it into the 'Qingming Xuanwu Shield', making this shield reach the ultimate of the sixth-grade upper grade in terms of defensive power." Wan Tiancheng introduced hurriedly.
Hearing this, the cultivators of the Void Refining Sect in the audience could not help but feel a little disappointed.
Master Li's level of refinement is there. If this weapon is his work, then with the rank of the sixth-grade top-grade spiritual treasure, it is possible to be promoted to the seventh-grade Taoist weapon in the future.
If it is not Master Li's work, then its value will be greatly reduced in the eyes of the cultivators. However, Wan Tiancheng seemed to see the reactions of the cultivators. He smiled and continued, "My fellow Taoists, the way of refining weapons is to focus on character and creativity, rather than simply relying on the name of the master. Although Master Chen is not as famous as Master Li, his unique understanding and superb skills of defensive spiritual weapons cannot be ignored. Moreover, the value of the 'Qingming Xuanwu Shield' lies not only in its refiner, but also in the powerful defensive power it contains."
Wan Tiancheng paused, his eyes swept across the audience, and seeing that everyone had different expressions, he continued, "Just imagine, in the crisis-ridden world of cultivation, a defensive spiritual weapon that can withstand the attack of a combined strongman is an extremely precious life-saving item for any cultivator. It may not determine the victory of a battle, but it can give the holder a glimmer of hope at a critical moment, and it may even be the key to turning the tide of the battle."
Wan Tiancheng's words made the cultivators who were originally a little disappointed re-examine the 'Qingming Xuanwu Shield'.
"The starting price of this item: 200,000 high-grade spirit stones, each bid is 10,000 high-grade spirit stones, time limit: 100 breaths, now officially open." After the introduction, Wan Tiancheng announced immediately.
"210,000!"
"220,000!"
...
The bidding sounded one after another, although the rhythm was not as fast as before, and the price span was not as wide as before.
The auction rolled forward, and one by one rare items appeared and successfully changed hands under Wan Tiancheng's charming explanation.
However, among these many items, only the Taoist instruments refined by Master Li became the dazzling pearls that attracted everyone's attention. They seemed to have their own aura, and every time they appeared, they could cause a big sensation.
Li Mu has become the biggest beneficiary of this auction. However, they are all due to the auction of Taoist instruments, elixirs, and spiritual medicines. This auction does not give him many opportunities to pick up bargains.
Although he had taken away many high-level spiritual objects from the Wanbao Pavilion warehouse in advance, there were only a few spiritual objects sent by other bidders at the auction that really touched his heartstrings, which made Li Mu a little dissatisfied.
In the VIP box No. 1, Li Mu's eyebrows revealed a hint of thought, watching the auction proceed, expecting a special treasure to appear.
At this moment, Wan Tiancheng's voice sounded again, breaking the silence in the venue. With unprecedented excitement in his tone, he announced: "Next, the item I want to introduce will be one of the finales of this auction, a Dao-level inheritance."
"What!"
"How is this possible! Someone is willing to take a Dao-level inheritance to participate in the auction?"
"What inheritance, Shopkeeper Wan, don't keep us in suspense!"
...
As soon as Wan Tiancheng said this, the auction venue was instantly boiling, and the noise surged like a tide, almost overturning the roof. The faces of the refining cultivators were full of shock, confusion, desire, and excited questions.
Dao-level inheritance is not only a pile of texts and pictures, but also the crystallization of the wisdom and experience of countless predecessors. It is the key to the supreme road, and it is also the key to determine the rise and fall of a sect and a family. The appearance of each Dao-level inheritance can trigger changes in the top power structure, which is enough to attract countless powerful people, and even want to take it for themselves at all costs.
"Everyone, please be patient, please let me take out the auction items first." Wan Tiancheng smiled and raised his hand to gently suppress the restlessness in the field.
Hearing this, all the refining cultivators calmed down and waited for the next step.
I saw that the transmission array on the auction platform flashed, and a tray covered with red cloth appeared.
However, when Wan Tiancheng slowly unveiled the red cloth and revealed the so-called "Tao-level inheritance", the atmosphere in the entire venue suddenly became subtle. It was not the glorious classic that everyone imagined, nor was it a radiant treasure, but a simple and broken scroll. On the cover, the words "Insect Scripture" were written in ancient seal script. The edges were frayed, showing that it had gone through many vicissitudes of life.
"Is this... is this the final Dao-level inheritance?" A Void Refining monk said in astonishment, his tone full of disbelief.
"Shopkeeper Wan, are you kidding me? How can a incomplete "Insect Classic" be called a Taoist inheritance?" Another person even directly questioned it, and there was a lot of discussion in the venue, with doubts and disappointment intertwined. Together.
Facing the doubts of the monks, Wan Tiancheng smiled slightly, without any embarrassment on his face. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Fellow Taoists, please be patient and listen to me in detail. This inheritance "Chong" Although the "Sutra" is incomplete, what is recorded in it is the essence of the ancient art of controlling insects. This art is not trivial. If you can understand one or two of them, you will be able to stand alone in the world of cultivation. Even under certain circumstances, Develop the power beyond the realm.”
"However," Wan Tiancheng changed the topic, with a hint of helplessness in his tone, "this "Insect Classic" is extremely incomplete, and many key points have been lost. It is not easy to restore. Because of this, It is regarded as useless, which is both desirable and daunting. Otherwise, how could a complete Taoist inheritance appear in this auction?"
As soon as these words came out, the noise in the venue gradually subsided, and the monks showed complicated expressions on their faces. They were attracted by the mystery and potential of the "Insect Classic", but they were also disappointed and helpless by its incomplete status.
However, what Wan Tiancheng said is not unreasonable. The value of Taoist inheritance is definitely beyond their reach. Each complete Taoist inheritance represents the crystallization of wisdom of one or several top experts and is their understanding of the laws of heaven and earth. , the summary and inheritance after a deep understanding of the laws of nature are the foundation of a top sect.
Looking at the thoughtful monks below, Wan Tiancheng continued: "You may think that this fragment of the "Insect Classic" has limited value, but in my opinion, it is a secret path to a higher realm. , this fragment is a touchstone to test the wisdom and perseverance of our monks. If someone can fully understand the essence of it and even complete the missing parts by relying on his own ability and opportunity, then he will gain great achievements and strength. , will be far beyond the reach of a complete Taoist inheritance."
As soon as this statement came out, the atmosphere in the venue changed again. There was determination and expectation in the eyes of the monks. They began to re-examine this seemingly worthless fragment of the "Insect Classic", secretly thinking whether to try to challenge this unknown and possibility.
In Box 1, Li Mu's heart was filled with turmoil, his eyes were burning, and he was determined to obtain this Insect Scripture. (End of chapter)
