Chapter 45 Obtaining the Talisman

Xiao Lin saw a few people showing shock in their eyes, but this shock was quickly replaced by madness.

After Bai Tou Weng said that this item was a [Weapon Talisman], he fell silent, making the atmosphere of the entire auction suddenly become weird.

After a while, as if he felt that the atmosphere was almost created, the old man with white hair spoke: "I think most of the Taoist friends here don't know what [Weapon Talisman] is? Then let me explain it to you first."

After a pause, the old man with white hair continued: "Talismans, I think you are not unfamiliar with them. We cultivators seal spells in talismans. When casting, we just need to detonate the talismans. It is not only convenient and fast, but more importantly, it does not consume mana. It is the best trump card for cultivators to save their lives and drive away enemies. However, talismans also have a limitation. Not only is the success rate of refining very low, it is difficult for non-professional talisman makers to refine them. But the key is not here, but the spells sealed in the talismans can only exert 70% to 80% of the power of the sealed spells at most, but [Weapon Talisman] is different."

Speaking of this, the old man with white hair pointed to the short blade on the jade plate and continued: "In our world of immortal cultivation, there are very few people who play the dual roles of weapon refiners and talisman makers. After painstaking research, they finally worked out A method of sealing magic into a magic weapon, not only is the power of the explosion equal to the power of the sealed magic, but more importantly, the magic weapon can also self-destruct. Under the double power, even a cultivator in the foundation-building period will most likely die. This short blade is itself a set of wood-attributed top-grade magic weapons, and in the short blade body and the seven small blades, each seals a primary magic spell of the Great Perfection level [Blue Thunder Technique]. The Blue Thunder Technique is not only powerful, even a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building will be seriously injured, but also has a paralysis effect. Once hit, it will be stiff for at least two seconds. What does this mean? I think all Taoists know it very well, not to mention the power of the top-grade magic weapon self-destruction, let alone I need to say more. "

As soon as the white-headed old man finished speaking, there was a sound of gasps from below. As he said, most of the cultivators present heard the name of the weapon symbol for the first time, including Xiao Lin. After listening to the white-headed old man's description of the weapon symbol, even Xiao Lin's breathing became rapid.

For Qi Refining cultivators, this thing is simply a killer weapon. Even if it encounters a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it can still compete with it. I am afraid that just taking it out will make the Foundation Establishment cultivators afraid to act rashly.

Some cultivators' eyes began to turn red, while some cultivators sighed slightly and fell silent.

Xiao Lin could understand both extremes. It was not that those silent cultivators did not want it, but on the contrary, there was no Qi Refining cultivator who did not want this weapon talisman. However, just by listening to the function described by the White-headed Old Man, Xiao Lin knew that the price of this weapon talisman was absolutely sky-high. No wonder it was auctioned as the finale item.

After a pause, when the entire hall was quiet again, the old man with white hair slowly said: "The starting price of this instrument is one thousand low-grade spirit stones, and each bid must not be less than fifty low-grade spirit stones."

"I bid one thousand five hundred low-grade spirit stones." As soon as the old man with white hair finished speaking, a woman stood up and directly shouted out the sky-high price of one thousand five hundred low-grade spirit stones. She seemed to be deliberately imitating Xiao Lin, trying to calm down the monks who wanted to bid and dispel their idea of ​​participating in the competition.

But obviously, this method did not work. If it was a different auction item, it might still be possible, but this instrument has already made many people's eyes red.

"I'll pay 1,550."

"1,600."

"1,600."

"1,700."

"I'll pay 2,000."

"I'll pay 2,500."

"2,500 is great? I'll pay 3,000."

"Soon, the price of this talisman was hyped up to a jaw-dropping price. Xiao Lin also bid once or twice, but in the end, seeing those cultivators who were already red-eyed, he finally sighed and chose to give up.

Xiao Lin knew very well that the high-level Qi-refining cultivators present, and even a very small number of foundation-building cultivators, all had deep backgrounds. Even if they were not direct descendants of the high-level people of the five major sects, they were at least descendants of large cultivation families. They were competing with the strength of their families and backers, and he was just A casual cultivator.

If he was too ostentatious, he would inevitably arouse suspicion. Even with a mask, he could not guarantee that he would not be targeted by someone with ulterior motives. Therefore, after the price reached an astonishing 3,000 low-grade spirit stones, Xiao Lin decisively chose to give up.

After rounds of exciting competition, this instrument was finally bought by a "white-faced scholar" for 4,000 low-grade spirit stones. This price made Xiao Lin smack his lips. Even though he had previously exchanged eight bottles of Yunling Pills through the waiter of Babaozhai and got 1,500 low-grade spirit stones, and now there were nearly 2,500 low-grade spirit stones in his bag, he was still unable to participate in the competition for this instrument.

"The second finale item to be auctioned is about to be auctioned. Please take a look. "After everyone calmed down from their excitement, the old man with white hair spoke again. He waved his hand gently, and three talismans appeared on the jade plate. One talisman emitted a hazy yellow light, one was looming and seemed to disappear at any time, and the last one was flashing a hazy green light.

Without waiting for everyone to guess, the old man with white hair smiled and said, "These three talismans are all elementary talismans, but what is sealed in them is not ordinary elementary spells, but three elementary great perfection spells. The yellow one seals the elementary great perfection spell, the Boulder Spell. The faintly visible talisman seals the elementary great perfection spell, the Wind Concealment Spell. This is a concealment spell that even a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building cannot detect. As for the last one, it seals the elementary great perfection spell, the Small Thunderstorm Spell. The Small Thunderstorm Spell is a group spell with a paralysis effect. Although it is slightly inferior to the Blue Thunder Spell sealed in the previous weapon talisman when used against the enemy, it is still very effective." If facing multiple enemies, this small thunderstorm spell is extremely effective. The base price of these three talismans is 500 low-grade spirit stones, and each bid must not be less than 50 low-grade spirit stones. "

Seeing the three talismans, Xiao Lin's eyes lit up. These three talismans can indeed be used as a life-saving method for Qi Refining cultivators. The other two are another matter. The talisman that seals the primary wind spell Fengyin is what he wants very much. He will enter the cave to pick purple spirit flowers soon, and the prerequisite for entering the cave is that he must be a cultivator below the foundation building stage, so there will be no foundation building cultivators in the cave.

Therefore, although the instrument talisman made him jealous, it was not the most urgent item at this stage. After all, he had only practiced Taoism for a few years, and the accumulated value was not a little bit worse than those disciples of the big cultivation sects and the direct descendants of the five major sects. Naturally, it was impossible for him to get everything.

However, Xiao Lin was not worried. With the power of the Spirit Wood Space, as long as he could get the formula of the Five Elements Pill, he should be able to break through to the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Stage. But according to the information he had obtained so far, if the formula of the Five Elements Spirit Pill was really only available in the five major sects, then he had to join one of the five major sects first.

While Xiao Lin was thinking, the price of the three talismans had been raised to 750 low-grade spirit stones.

"One thousand low-grade spirit stones." Xiao Lin raised his right hand and shouted a number that surprised many people.

Three primary talismans can certainly be used as a means of life-saving for cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining or even the Great Perfection, but it is still a little bit not worth spending thousands of low-grade spirit stones for this. Even if it is a primary Great Perfection talisman, it can only kill cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining in one blow when they are caught off guard. For cultivators in the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, it can only seriously injure them at most. The probability of killing them in one blow is not high. It is not like the instrument talisman. Even if the cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage are caught off guard, they will fall into a desperate situation.

After Xiao Lin called out a thousand low-grade spirit stones, there were only a few bidders. In the end, after several rounds, Xiao Lin won it with 1,300 low-grade spirit stones.

Babaozhai seems to be well versed in the way of relaxation. The last three finale items are indeed rare good things, but the gap between them is not small. Compared with the instrument talisman, the three primary talismans are indeed nothing, even if they are sealed with primary spells of the Great Perfection level.

The old man with white hair was obviously very satisfied that the three talismans could be sold for 1,300 low-grade spirit stones. After announcing that Xiao Lin had won the bid for the three talismans, he waved his sleeves again, and this time a jade bottle appeared on the jade plate. The jade bottle was dark green, and only a faint purple halo could be seen inside, flowing unsteadily.

Seeing this jade bottle, Xiao Lin noticed that several cultivators not far away showed excitement in their eyes at the same time.

Xiao Lin had been paying attention to these people. Even when they saw the instrument talisman before, they only showed a little surprise, but it was far from being like this now, with their faces full of excitement without concealment.

"Is the thing in this jade bottle more valuable than the instrument talisman?" Xiao Lin was also quite surprised, but he understood it immediately.

"This jade bottle contains a foundation-building pill." The old man with white hair's words made the whole hall noisy again.

"There are actually foundation-building pills for sale?"

"Haha, I thought it was a gimmick, but I didn't expect Babaozhai to be willing to take out a foundation-building pill for auction."

"Hey, if I had known there was a foundation-building pill, I wouldn't have bid for that magic weapon before. Now I'm afraid I don't have enough spirit stones."

Hearing what the old man said, the jade bottle actually contained a foundation-building pill used by cultivators to build their foundations. Xiao Lin immediately understood why the people not far in front of him showed excited eyes. These people were obviously in the state of great perfection in the Qi Refining Stage. For them, everything else was just a passing cloud. If they couldn't build a foundation, their lifespan would be no different from that of ordinary people. After a hundred years, they would still be unable to escape the fate of returning to dust and returning to earth. If they could successfully build a foundation, their lifespan would reach an astonishing two hundred years. With so much lifespan, the so-called magic weapons, elixirs, and even spiritual weapons would not be out of reach.

More importantly, only by entering the foundation-building stage can one truly be considered a cultivator. It can be said that in the eyes of most cultivators, the foundation-building stage and the Qi Refining stage are the difference between immortals and mortals.
