Chapter 43 Spiritual Jade Slip
"This first auction item is a top-grade magic weapon - Water and Fire Hook. This Water and Fire Hook was made by a master of refining. One of his ancestors was once a third-level refiner of Bailianmen, but he could even refine spiritual weapons. This top-grade magic weapon is not only hard and sharp, but also can increase the power of basic attack spells by 10%. For cultivators like us in the Qi Refining Stage, it is definitely a weapon to improve combat power. The starting price is 300 low-grade spiritual stones, and each bid must not be less than 10 low-grade spiritual stones." The old man waved his hand gently, and two small jade hooks of a foot long suddenly appeared on the jade plate, one flashing red, and the other emitting green light, which was extremely beautiful and eye-catching.
"I'll offer 310 low-grade spiritual stones." An ugly man raised his hand and shouted.
"I'll offer 320 low-grade spiritual stones." As soon as the ugly man finished speaking, a pockmarked woman in her thirties raised her hand.
One of them had an ugly face, and the other had a pockmarked face, but they were a perfect match. When they saw the two of them fighting, laughter suddenly broke out in the hall.
However, Xiao Lin knew that everyone who came here wore a mask to conceal their breath, and these two people were definitely not their true faces. Xiao Lin was quite surprised that the first auction item was a top-grade magic weapon. Generally, Qi Refining cultivators use magic weapons, which are divided into three levels: primary, intermediate, advanced, and top-grade. The Seven Blades in Xiao Lin's hand is just a mid-grade magic weapon, which is not even a little bit different from the Water and Fire Hook.
And its ability to increase the power of basic spells by 10% made Xiao Lin's mouth dry. The Water Arrow and Fireball spells he practiced just corresponded to the water and fire attributes. If he could buy this Water and Fire Hook, it would not only help him improve his combat power.
"I'll offer 350 low-grade spirit stones." A crisp voice sounded, and the person who looked like it was indeed a slightly fat woman in her thirties.
"I'll offer 360 low-grade spirit stones." The ugly man was unwilling to give up, his eyes flashing with coldness, and he raised his hand again.
"370 low-grade spirit stones." The pockmarked woman was unwilling to be outdone, and followed suit and raised the price again.
"I'll offer 400 low-grade spirit stones." The slightly plump woman glanced at the ugly man and the pockmarked woman, and continued to add lightly.
"Are there any Taoist friends who can offer a higher price?" The white-headed old man smiled, and seeing that the price of the slightly plump woman seemed to have suppressed the slightly plump woman and the ugly man, he just added fuel to the fire.
"I'll offer 500 low-grade spirit stones." A young man in his twenties suddenly raised his hand and said loudly.
"Okay, this Taoist friend bids 500 low-grade spirit stones, is there any Taoist friend who can offer a higher price?" The white-headed old man was obviously very experienced and knew how to adjust the atmosphere on the scene.
The slightly plump woman's eyes showed a thoughtful expression, and she was about to raise her hand again, but slowly put it down.
This top-grade magic weapon is indeed very attractive, but 500 pieces of low-grade spirit stones have already exceeded its own value. Generally, cultivators in the early and middle stages of Qi Refining can accumulate 10 to 20 pieces of low-grade spirit stones a year. However, cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining or even the Great Perfection stage naturally hunt more advanced monsters than cultivators in the early and middle stages of Qi Refining stage. They can form teams to hunt ordinary middle-level monsters, and even hunt some high-level monsters. Therefore, the income is much higher in comparison, but accumulating dozens of low-grade spirit stones a year is already the best.
Of course, there are also some geniuses who can even kill ordinary great perfection monsters across levels. This kind of monster is only a thin line away from the real monster. If you can kill this kind of monster, the income will naturally be incomparable. If you are lucky enough to get a primary seal from the body of an ordinary great perfection monster, you can make a lot of money.
Of course, there is another type, that is, the cultivation family. In addition to the independent cultivators, there are also some Qi Refining cultivators who have the support of the family behind them, so the wealth they have is difficult to estimate. If the family supports them at all costs, it is not impossible to get thousands of low-grade spirit stones. However, there are not many such cultivation families in the entire Tianlu Mountains. Usually, they are the few large families.
In the end, this water and fire hook magic weapon was auctioned by the young man in his twenties. After the young man auctioned this top-grade magic weapon, he was taken to the hall by someone and obviously went to pay the spirit stones. And from his appearance, he did not intend to continue to participate in the auction.
Although Xiao Lin was a little strange, he thought about it for a while and was relieved. He bought a top-grade magic weapon. Even if it was worth a lot, he was probably a little stretched. Even if the things behind were good, he couldn't be auctioned. It's better to leave and save trouble.
Although Xiao Lin also wanted this top-grade magic weapon, he gave up after thinking about it. For him now, he didn't need a very good attack method. The fireball spell of the Great Perfection level was enough for attack power. If he could enter the seventh level of Qi Refining, he would be able to practice the elementary spell of the Great Fireball Spell, and then his attack power would be greatly improved. Compared with the magic weapon, what he lacked now was the elixir that could improve his realm.
But he had previously browsed the contents of the jade slip, and there was no Five Elements Pill for sale. Moreover, the list in the jade slip did not include the last three finale auction items, which made Xiao Lin quite speechless, and he couldn't help but admire the method of Babaozhai.
In Xiao Lin's opinion, this approach is not difficult to understand. If they see the list in the jade slip and don't see what they want, most of the cultivators will choose to leave instead of wasting time here. Doing so can not only let the cultivators present know most of the auction items, but also let them know the last three finale items. They must be full of curiosity and expectation for the last three finale items, thus achieving the original intention of Babaozhai.
The main reason why Xiao Lin didn't make a move was that he wanted to use all the spirit stones to auction the next item.
"Dear fellow Taoists, let's auction the second item. The second item is an eighty-year-old fire attribute five-element spirit grass. Everyone here knows that this five-element spirit grass can be used to refine the five-element spirit pill, which is very useful for us cultivators in the Qi Refining Period to break through the bottleneck of the middle and late stages. Most of the people here are cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining. If you want to go further and enter the Great Perfection, so that the Great Dao can be expected, this five-element spirit grass is the key. The starting price of this fire attribute five-element spirit grass is two hundred low-grade spirit stones, and each bid must not be less than ten low-grade spirit stones."
"Two "One hundred and ten low-grade spirit stones."
"Two hundred and twenty low-grade spirit stones"
"I'll give you two hundred and fifty low-grade spirit stones."
......
Xiao Lin looked at a fiery red four-leaf grass on the jade plate, with no expression on his face. He had planted a lot of five-element spirit herbs in the spirit wood space. As long as a few years pass, he can basically have as many as he wants. What surprised Xiao Lin was the price of the five-element spirit herbs. The starting price was actually two hundred low-grade spirit stones. If the main medicinal materials for refining the five-element spirit pill are so expensive, then the finished pill will be sky-high.
In fact, this was Xiao Lin's first time in the world of cultivation, and he didn't know much about many things. In the entire Tianlu Mountains, although this kind of five-element spiritual grass was not extinct, its number was extremely rare. In addition to the five major sects that would open up some spiritual fields on the spiritual veins they occupied to plant this kind of spiritual grass, ordinary casual cultivators could not get it at all. Even many low-level cultivators had never seen the real five-element spiritual grass in their lives. Even if most cultivators were blessed, they would usually choose to exchange some things or exchange for spiritual pills to improve their cultivation in the Tianlu Mountains, instead of using them to make pills. After all, except for the alchemists of the major sects, the success rate of ordinary people's alchemy was extremely pitiful. In nine out of ten cases, the spiritual pills were not made, and the materials were wasted.
Obviously, there were quite a few cultivators who were interested in this five-element spiritual grass. In a short while, this five-element spiritual grass was sold at a sky-high price of four hundred low-grade spiritual stones, which was almost as high as that of the top-grade magic weapon.
But after the price exceeded 400 low-grade spirit stones, the number of monks bidding began to decrease. In the end, this spiritual herb was bought by a white-faced young man in his twenties at the price of 430 low-grade spirit stones.
Immediately afterwards, several magic weapons appeared, including an armor-piercing blade that could increase the power of basic gold-attribute attack spells by 10%, and a crystal water shield that could increase the defense of water-attribute water spirit shields by 10%.
After that, a blue thunder sword that could increase the power of thunder-attribute spells by 10% appeared. These magic weapons really made Xiao Lin entangled for a long time, but he finally held back.
Each of these magic weapons was sold at a price of more than 400 low-grade spirit stones, and the blue thunder sword was finally sold at a sky-high price of 600 low-grade spirit stones, which made Xiao Lin secretly smack his lips.
Next, another talisman was auctioned. This one was a talisman that sealed the primary spell of the Great Perfection level, Ice Rain. Even a cultivator of the Great Perfection stage might not be able to take it. This talisman pushed the entire auction to a new climax. You should know that talismans do not consume mana to activate, and are a one-time high-power attack method.
Although Ice Rain is a group attack spell, it is not as powerful as a single spell of the same level, but it is also one of the best ways for cultivators to fight and save their lives. Xiao Lin also coveted this talisman, but after the price was hyped up to an astonishing 700 low-grade spirit stones, Xiao Lin completely gave up.
Although the primary Great Perfection level spell is extremely rare, it is not enough for him to exchange it for half of his worth, and there are things that he needs more at this stage.
"Dear fellow Taoists, I think these magic tools, spiritual herbs, and talismans above have not disappointed you. We at Babaozhai have also made careful preparations for this auction. The items we have selected for auction are all urgently needed by cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining. They are of great benefit to improving your combat power and cultivation. However, the item to be auctioned below is not a finished product, but a jade slip for refining tools. It was accidentally found by a Taoist in the early stage of foundation building in Xueling Immortal City from a relic and put up for auction at Babaozhai. The jade slip records an extremely rare spiritual tool called [Spirit Hidden Shield] The refining method, and after the evaluation of our Babaozhai Jindan elder, once this Lingyin shield is refined, it can at least withstand the full force of a mid-stage foundation-building cultivator without any damage. Of course, if this is a finished spiritual weapon, this studio will most likely not put it up for auction. After all, the materials and efforts required to refine a spiritual weapon are astronomical. It is precisely because of this that the Taoist friend in the early stage of foundation building is willing to put it up for auction. The starting price of this jade slip is 300 low-grade spiritual stones, and each bid must not be less than 30 low-grade spiritual stones. "Spirit weapon?" The whole hall suddenly exploded.
