Chapter 505: So This Is the Price (Part 1)
This gathering point is not big, because it is a gathering point close to the periphery, so it is usually a place where some masters of the Jindan Nascent Soul stage come to rest. Yang Chen has basically never seen the masters of the Mahayana stage. (This chapter was uploaded by a friend)
Almost all people in the Demon Continent have one attribute in common, that is, they are tough and murderous. Even if you were not a person of this nature before, you will become like this after staying here for a while.
Yang Chen is an exception. From his appearance, others can't tell how strong Yang Chen is. After the Yellow Turban Warrior reached the fourth level of physical training, he no longer had the intimidating figure he had before. There is no killing intent around him. If he is not a master who has already mastered the control, he is a rookie who has just arrived.
However, there is one kind of person who will not reveal his murderous intent, and that is the magician. The magician does not need to work so hard outside to obtain the magic beads, so there is no need to enter the depths of the demon continent to kill.
Yang Chen's current performance is that he is a highly skilled magician, and no one will doubt him. At least now the shopkeeper of this shop called Wu Nian Tang has no doubts at all. Just kidding, people who can produce pure golden and first-class evil evil beads must not be evil refiners.
The auction didn't take too long to prepare. It was ready after just one day. In fact, there is no so-called preparation. The auction will be held every few days. Anyone can just hand over the items to be auctioned to the auction house on time and wait for it to be held. Yang Chen had a good time this time, and there was an auction the next day.
The Demon Continent is not like an ordinary Taoist auction. The identities of all guests are kept secret, and everyone has a robe that isolates them from spiritual detection. In fact, everyone probably has something like this for themselves, but most people have given up on using it.
What is the purpose of coming to Demon Continent? In order to experience in killing, in order to gain insights on the thin line between life and death. If you even attend an auction, you will hide your head and dare not show up. Then what else is there to experience?
The first night before the auction, Yang Chen got a list of the auction items. There aren't many things inside, just a dozen or so items. There are some materials for refining weapons, some elixirs for restoring vitality, and several magic weapons for defense.
Yang Chen was not interested in any of this. What he was interested in were a few unprocessed high-grade demonic beads. The smallest one was in the fifth grade, and the largest was in the fourth grade. In addition, there was the "unfashionable" demonic bead provided by Yang Chen.
Yang Chen can naturally use the unprocessed demonic beads to continue absorbing demonic energy. You must know that the evil spirit beads condensed by the demonized beasts are much richer than the evil energy under normal conditions, and they can be used by Yang Chen just right.
There were not many people attending the auction, but basically everyone who could come to this gathering point came. Except those businesses. The guys who come to the gathering point basically come to rest or reflect, and will not miss this opportunity.
Among other things, those life-saving magic weapons that are auctioned are the most popular. Wandering in the demon continent. Who knows when we will encounter a fatal crisis? There is a magic weapon that can save your life at critical moments. You can give yourself a chance of survival. After surviving the edge of life and death, without exception, their cultivation and state of mind will be greatly improved. Therefore, these defensive magic weapons are treasures that countless people are fighting for.
Yang Chen didn't know if his first-class Demonic Bead would cause competition, so he had to go to the auction house to have a look before giving up.
The common currency in the Demon Continent is still spirit stones. In addition to being able to buy various things, spirit stones are also a necessity for traveling in the Demon Continent. When necessary, when the spiritual power is exhausted and there are powerful enemies around, you need to use spiritual stones to quickly make up for the exhausted spiritual power.
Yang Chen was sitting with the shopkeeper of Wu Nian Tang. There were almost more than a hundred people entering the auction hall, including all Taoist demons. Everyone did not care about the identities of the people around them and just focused on what they needed.
There were several kinds of elixirs that came up first, and the competition was not very fierce. They were all healing elixirs, which didn't sound very powerful. However, the transaction price was still beyond Yang Chen's expectation. It was several times more expensive than the one from Dao Sect.
After the elixir, comes the real battle to snatch it. A protective belt that could defend against a blow from an early Mahayana master, and could also self-destruct to kill the enemy at the last moment, became the focus of everyone's snatching.
"Ninety kilograms of middle-grade spiritual stones!"
"Ninety-five pounds of middle-grade spiritual stones!"
"One pound of high-grade spiritual stone!"
"One pound and one tael of high-grade spiritual stones!"
…
"Four kilograms and seven taels of high-grade spiritual stones, deal done!"
In Yang Chen's opinion, the transaction price of one and a half kilograms of high-grade spiritual stones at the Dao Sect has now increased by more than three times. That belt is really not that good, not to mention the rough workmanship. It is said to be able to withstand a blow from a master in the early stage of Mahayana, but in fact, the belt will self-destruct as long as a blow from the Nascent Soul stage.
The only thing that can be commended is that the materials used are good, but if it was made to this level, if Gao Yue knew about it, he would definitely scold the refiner for wasting materials.
"How come the level of weapon refining here is like this?" Yang Chen asked the shopkeeper next to him with some confusion.
But before waiting for the shopkeeper's answer, a demon cultivator on the other side of the shop heard Yang Chen's question and turned directly to answer Yang Chen for the shopkeeper: "Are you new here? If you are practicing here, you always want to rely on the magic weapon to be sharp. If so, then what’s the point of training? It’s enough to be able to block a blow at the critical moment and get a chance to escape. It doesn’t have to be good.”
This answer made Yang Chen couldn't help but nod. It seems that these people really came to Demon Continent to experience, rather than just some people like the Young Master of Sleeping Dragon Valley for fun.
The auction was still going on. After several similar magic weapons, it was soon the turn of the pure golden Demonic Bead provided by Yang Chen. This surprised Yang Chen. He thought that his pillar would be regarded as the final item, but he didn't expect that it would be so high on the list and taken out in the middle of the auction.
"Ninth-grade middle-grade Demonic Beads, pure golden Demonic Beads that are completely uncontaminated by evil spirits. The starting price is two kilograms of high-grade spiritual stones." The host of the auction house on the stage introduced it in his usual bewitching tone, and then Waiting for people to bid.
"..."
Unexpectedly, no one bid, no one spoke, and there was a wordless silence. Yang Chen didn't even know what happened, so he turned to look at the shopkeeper, waiting for his explanation.
"Is this thing real? I want to see it up close!" Someone finally said this.
