C32 (1/2)
Zhou Qing was startled when he heard this. He then narrowed his eyes and asked, ”Do you know what that is?”
”Art of Accumulating Spirit Marrow!”
Without waiting for Zhou Qing to continue asking, he quickly said: ”The boy on the stage is right, the Spirit Accumulating Marrow is a genuine treasure from the foreign land, I don't know why it would appear in the Mystic Heaven Continent.”
”Accumulating the essence of the divine essence is a priceless treasure. Even if the soul were to collapse, as long as it is not completely destroyed, it can be reborn!”
The words of the Cursed Spirit caused Zhou Qing to be completely stunned.
In this world, there were many precious medicines that could heal the body, but there were very few that could be used on the soul. As a result, the Spirit Replenishing Pill was particularly precious. But from what the Curse Spirit had said, the black stone in front of him had the heaven-defying effect of reincarnating souls!
”It's just a pity that the next piece is just scraps …” However, even if you are scrawny, it would still be beneficial to your soul. ”
Seeing Zhou Qing still in a daze, he could not help but become extremely angry, ”Stop daydreaming, hurry up and bid for this noble one, it will also be beneficial for you!”
”What benefits?” Zhou Qing's eyes lit up as he hurriedly asked.
”The Accumulating Spirit Marrow can help me recover a little. At a critical moment, I can possess you again, allowing you to wield the power of a Mage within the span of three breaths!”
After the Cursed Spirit finished saying those words, Zhou Qing's eyes shone with a frightening light. He no longer hesitated and directly started to bid.
”3000 gold!”
There weren't many people bidding on these mysterious blackstones. Originally, there were only a few people bidding, but Zhou Qing had raised the bid to 5000 gold several times, and everyone stopped bidding.
”That kid isn't a fool, is he?”
Some people scoffed.
”Who knows? Maybe it's because he really believes in Old Hai's words and wants to find a divine treasure from that crappy rock?”
The other person opened his mouth to chime in, causing the crowd to burst into laughter.
Zhou Qing's expression was calm, but his heart was filled with ecstasy.
Possessing the power of a Mage within three breaths of time, if the Curse Spirit did not brag, then this would be his biggest trump card up to now!
Among the crowd, Gu Canghai's expression was cold as he stared at Zhou Qing.
He wanted to take advantage of Zhou Qing, but he had some doubts. That little brat was also thinking the same thing.
Otherwise, why would a useless piece of blackstone, an ant at the early Awakening Realm, bid?
Thinking up to this point, Gu Canghai sneered but didn't say anything in the end.
After waiting for a long time, no one made another bid. On the auction stage, Hai Zun Tian shook his head in regret and then announced the result.
”If that's the case, then this mysterious black stone will be auctioned off by the friend who bid 5000 gold. Please exchange it at the Thousand An Trading Company after the auction ends.”
With that final strike, Zhou Qing's heart that had been hanging high in the air finally dropped. He let out a long sigh of relief.
However, when this scene appeared in Gu Canghai's eyes, the sneer on Zhou Qing's face grew even wider in order to conceal the anger within his heart.
”Everyone, next is the eighth item.”
A moment later, Hai Zun Tian spoke again. A jade plate was presented, and on it was a porcelain bottle the size of a palm.
”I believe everyone present has heard of the true blood lotus, right?”
This time, Hai Zun Tian did not announce the item being auctioned. Instead, he smiled and said: ”The True Blood Lotus, a treasured medicine ranked 18th in Mysterious Sky Spirit Medicine, with the ability of breaking meridians, it can also increase the tenacity of meridians, thus slightly increasing the probability of breaking through. It is beneficial to the cultivation of cultivators.”
In the audience stands, Zhou Qing heard this and raised his eyebrows, vaguely guessing what it was.
”As for the porcelain bottle in my hand, there is a medicinal pill that has the same effect as the Blood Solidification Lotus. However, its effect is twice that of the Blood Solidification Lotus.”
”The name of this pill is Mai Forging Pill. It uses the True Blood Lotus as the raw material and is refined by a person personally!”
The moment Hai Zun Tian spoke, the entire audience went into an uproar.
Zhou Qing's heart trembled. His hand hidden under his sleeve slowly clenched into a fist.
”Pulse Forging Pill …”
His goal in coming to participate in this auction was this Pulse Tempering Pill!
The cultivation method of the ”Ten Thousand Spirit Codex” was too fast and forceful. With Zhou Qing's current meridian strength, once she cultivated to the early stage of Spirit Realm, her meridian would be overwhelmed.
The early stage of the Spirit Realm was considered to be a supreme expert to most cultivators, but to him, it was not enough. It was far from enough.
If he wanted to continue growing stronger, it was impossible for him to do so without something to repair his meridians.
Therefore, Zhou Qing was determined to get this Pulse Tempering Pill!
”Meridians, the only channel that carries spirit energy and mana, one could clearly see how important they are to cultivators. To keep a Pulse Tempering Pill is equivalent to having an extra safeguard. Even if your meridians are damaged, you can still take it and repair it! ”
On the stage, Hai Zun Tian continued to arouse the enthusiasm of the participants. There were many cultivators who were ready to make a move, but this discovery caused Zhou Qing's face to darken.
Without a doubt, the more people were tempted, the higher the price of the Pulse Forging Pill would be. The price he had to pay would also be higher.
Fortunately, after another few sentences, Hai Zun Tian announced the start of the bidding: ”The starting bid for the Pulse Forging Pill is 1000 points, 6,000 gold. Each increment must be at least 500 gold!”
”7,000 gold!”
Just as Hai Zun Tian finished his sentence, a mid stage Spirit Condensation cultivator on the right side of the auction hall directly raised the bid by 1000 gold coins.
”7,800 gold!”
”8500 gold!”
The sounds of bidding rose and fell as the people bidding were all mid level Soul Condensation cultivators.
Cultivators at this level fought the most and had the highest death rate. It was just as Hai Zun Tian had said, everyone wanted to have an additional layer of protection.
As expected, the price of the Pulse Forging Pill was quickly raised to 18,000 gold coins. This was also the first time that the price had exceeded 10,000 gold at the start of the auction!
As the price continued to rise, the smile on Elder Hai Zun's face became even more radiant.
Zhou Qing waited silently. Right now, bidding was not a big deal. What he wanted was a firm answer.
However, things did not go as he had hoped. As the price of the Pulse Tempering Pill increased, two powerful mages joined the fray. The moment he opened his mouth, he raised the price to a sky-high price of 40,000 gold coins!
Zhou Qing glanced at the two mages, and was shocked to discover that one of them was the middle-aged mage that had traveled together with the Black Fiend in the Ten Thousand Devil Cave!
”It seems like enemies often cross paths …”
Zhou Qing muttered to himself and quickly turned his gaze away.
Seemingly sensing Zhou Qing's gaze, the middle-aged mage suddenly raised his head to take a look.
