Chapter 264: Precious Auction Items

Crack!

After hearing about the five-hundred-year-old spiritual tree trunk, Li Qing's hand could not help but exert a little force, but crushed a corner of the stone bench he was sitting on.

There was no way, the value of this thing was indeed too precious, no wonder Li Qing could not remain calm.

For him, this kind of spiritual wood was of great use, whether it was used to refine weapons or practice the "Bao Mu Lian Shen Jue".

Especially the "Bao Mu Lian Shen Jue" body-refining secret technique, he had already practiced to the second level, and only the last level was left to complete it.

Combined with his original martial arts cultivation and extremely powerful master physique, Li Qing's current physical cultivation realm is equivalent to a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining, and he can even compete with a monster in the late stage of the first stage.

If he gets this five-hundred-year-old Baoyuan tree trunk, he can definitely practice this body-refining secret technique to perfection.

At that time, what kind of terrible situation will his physical body become?

Just thinking about it, Li Qing's heartbeat could not help but start to speed up, with a fiery look in his eyes.

He wanted to fight for this spiritual wood!

"Although I have a jade locust tree planted in the secret realm, it will take at least thirty years for it to mature."

"And even if it matures by then, it will only be fifty years old, which may not allow the "Bao Mu Lian Shen Jue" to reach perfection."

"It's impossible to do nothing and stay in the secret realm for hundreds of years, right?"

Li Qing is very entangled now, constantly talking to himself in his heart, calculating the pros and cons of this matter.

Judging from the performance of those foundation-building masters in front, this spiritual wood is worth a lot, and they are obviously tempted.

If he wants to join the competition, he has to bid with these foundation-building masters, which is a bit too eye-catching!

Maybe these people won't get angry on the spot for the sake of face, but there's no guarantee that they won't come to my door later, maybe to get back the spiritual wood, or maybe to covet my rich wealth.

Thinking of this, Li Qing's heart sank again.

"Forget it, my current wealth may be able to compete with the cultivators in the foundation-building period, but I'm afraid I won't be able to use it."

Li Qing couldn't help but sigh. In a flash, he had made a decision. He planned to act according to his heart.

These thoughts flashed like sparks, just a matter of a moment.

Soon, on the stage, after Taoist Qingyang introduced the spiritual wood, someone finally made a bid!

"One thousand and one hundred spiritual stones!"

"I do know a weapon refiner who is looking for spiritual materials to refine top-grade flying swords. I will help him bid for it today to repay him a favor. One thousand three hundred spiritual stones!"

"One thousand four hundred spiritual stones!"

"One thousand five hundred spiritual stones!"

As the price was quoted one after another, the increase became weaker and weaker, because this had reached the critical point of its price. If it was more, it would be a bit of a loss.

Because the price of a relatively cheap top-grade magic weapon was only more than two thousand spiritual stones.

Although there were very few top-grade magic weapons on the market, and they were often out of stock, the cultivators present would not be stupid enough to spend the money to buy a weapon refining spiritual material.

In the end, this section of the trunk of the Baoyuan tree was sold for a little over one thousand six hundred yuan. The buyer was an unknown casual cultivator in the foundation-building period. He did not live in Qinghuatan, nor was he an elder of Tianhe Sect. He was quite inconspicuous.

Li Qing sighed, saying that things are unpredictable and it is impossible for everything to go smoothly.

He could only comfort himself that the road of cultivation is still long and it is normal to encounter some shortcomings.

Just as Li Qing was thinking this, the master of the foundation-building stage who bought the spiritual wood exclaimed, "Hmm? The gap of this spiritual wood seems to have been cut not long ago?"

"Master Qingyang, you are a bit unkind. You split a complete trunk in half and sold it?"

As soon as these words came out, many people looked at a cross-section of the spiritual wood and found that it seemed to be true. It seemed to have been cut not long ago and the cut surface was still very new.

However, Taoist Qingyang smiled bitterly and said, "Fellow Daoist, you really misunderstood me. I did cut off a part of this spiritual wood, but it was definitely not to sell half and keep the other half."

"But when I got the trunk of this Baoyuan tree, it already had many worm holes on it, and that section was eaten away by spiritual insects. It can no longer be used as a spiritual material to refine into a magic weapon."

"If you don't believe me, I'll take it out and show you."

After saying that, Taoist Qingyang really took out a new section of Baoyuan tree spiritual wood from his storage bag.

This section of the spiritual wood trunk is nearly half shorter than the one just auctioned. It can be clearly seen that there are indeed many worm holes on it, and there are even some fine white insect eggs and some rotten wood powder accumulated in the worm holes.

"I cut off this piece of spiritual wood just to see if these insect eggs can hatch again."

"I'm old now, and now I'm only interested in these strange things."

Taoist Qingyang shook his head helplessly, and showed the remaining piece of spiritual wood in his hand.

"So that's how it is. It's my petty mind that I misunderstood Taoist Qingyang. I hope you won't blame me!" The foundation-building cultivator who asked the question apologized.

Taoist Qingyang was very open-minded and didn't care about it: "It's just human nature, you don't need to feel guilty."

Other cultivators in the foundation-building period commented: "Well, if the spirit insect that can eat away the treasure tree can be hatched, it may be a good species."

Some knowledgeable people shook their heads and said: "It's difficult. The spirit insects that lay eggs in the spirit tree want to hatch with the help of the vigorous vitality of the spirit tree. Now that the vitality of the tree has been cut off, the spirit wood essence inside cannot hatch the eggs into insects."

"That makes sense. The spirit insect eggs are the most vulnerable in the entire life stage. Without the continuous nourishment of the spirit wood, it is difficult to hatch."

"."

Listening to everyone talking, Li Qing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help swallowing.

If that's the case, wouldn't the remaining trunk of the spirit tree in Qingyang Taoist's hand have no value?

Li Qing's mind suddenly became active again. He planned to visit Qingyang Taoist after the auction to see if he could buy the spirit wood that was eaten away privately.

Although it was impossible to refine it into a magic weapon, there was still a lot of spiritual wood essence, which he could devour and use to practice the "Bao Mu Refining Body Art"!

It was really like a dead end, but there was always a way out!

As the auction of the spiritual wood ended, Taoist Qingyang continued to auction the last few items.

"The top-grade defensive magic weapon, the Qinggang Feiyun Shield, once activated, can be suspended around to resist attacks!"

"The inheritance of the second-level lower-grade talismans is extremely complete, covering everything from the entry level of talismans to the second-level talisman master, and there are three methods of drawing second-level lower-grade talismans in the inheritance!"

"The clan-stabilizing skills inherited by the Shi family, the "Prajna Shengshui Sutra"! And a matching secret technique, "Heavy Water Transformation"!

Taoist Qingyang read out three extremely valuable items in one breath, which made everyone take a deep breath.

I thought that Taoist Qingyang was really sincere this time, and these were the lifeblood of the Shi family in the past!

If all of them were taken out, they could be used to build a smaller family of immortal cultivators!

But the next moment, Taoist Qingyang said, "These three items can only be exchanged for goods, not spirit stones."

"If you are interested in exchanging these items, you can write a note and give it to me privately."

"I will think about it carefully and decide who to trade with, and this transaction will be kept secret!"

Everyone nodded, obviously accepting this proposal, which can also ensure the safety of the transaction. After all, they are all valuable and precious items, and it is hard to guarantee that no one will have a bad idea.

But soon, someone else asked, "Senior Qingyang, how do we know that you won't sell more than one of the items?"

After this, many people nodded after realizing it, thinking that it was true!

These inheritances are all valuable. If they are traded privately, who knows whether Taoist Qingyang will sell one inheritance to many people!

After all, once more are sold, the value of the inheritance will depreciate, and the people present are not fools.

Taoist Qingyang said solemnly: "I swear to my inner demon with my life and path that I will not sell more than one copy, whether it is the inheritance of the skills or the inheritance of the talismans!" The oath was not light and there were no loopholes, so everyone believed it.
