C830 The Ten Thousand Shadow Bind
Although the three Heavenly Pills for this auction... The level of each pill had already reached the level of a heaven-grade spirit pill, and the quality of the pill was even higher. Fortunately, the effects that appeared would be much less, but even so, in the end, there was still a factor that could not be overlooked in this pill, and even if one consumed it, there would be a very small problem.
There was still a very small probability of hindering a breakthrough in one's cultivation in the future.
Kindness, for example, didn't participate in the competition. Although there were many cultivators stuck at the peak of the Heavenly Spirit Path in the various large clans, these clan masters whose cultivation bases were unknown still won Heavenly Spirit Pills for them.
Moreover, even if they bought this pill, even if they used it to make breakthroughs, they wouldn't be able to discover much improvement in the future. They might as well spend it on the top geniuses of the clan.
The Heavenly Spirit Pill was currently in a heated auction, and the price would definitely be even higher in the later stages. Even if they sold it, it would definitely be a loss. As such, it would be better to directly hire an alchemist to sell it.
Because the Heaven's Path Pill was the first auction item of the auction, the bidding did not last for long. It was bought with 15,000 Low Grade Spirit Stones. And, the person who had obtained the Heaven Pill in the end... He was the first person to bid.
What was surprising was that this cultivator wasn't at the peak of the Heavenly Spirit Path, but had already reached the middle stage of the Heavenly Awakening Realm. It seemed like he had been auctioned off to the younger generation.
The price of 15,000 was a lot higher, but for some ordinary cultivators, even if they couldn't afford to hire an alchemist, it was still worth it.
After all, if they really wanted to hire an alchemist, they wouldn't be able to buy it with ten thousand spirit stones.
Seeing this, the Heavenly Dao Realm old man on the auction stage looked around. His wrinkled face revealed a trace of a smile as he said, "The price of the Heavenly Dao Pill is fifteen thousand low-grade spirit stones. Is there any higher price?"
As the words were spoken, the entire audience fell silent at the same time.
Seeing this, the auctioneer no longer had any thoughts of bidding. He said with a smile, "Since that's the case, the price of these three Heavenly Dao Pills is fifteen thousand low-grade spirit stones."
As the auctioneer's words fell, a middle-aged man in the auction hall also let out a long breath. He was the one who had won the Heavenly Dao Pills.
Heavenly Dao Pills were naturally useless to him. However, he had more than one junior, and each and every one of them had a cultivation base at the peak of the Heavenly Spirit Path. Currently, there were only three pills in a bottle. He was still thinking about how to divide them.
If things went wrong, the relationship between the juniors would become tense. Even if someone caught the Heavenly Spirit Pill and broke through to the Heavenly Spirit Path, it wouldn't mean much.
On the auction stage, the old man's face carried a wisp of a smile. The price of the Heavenly Dao Pill was only eight thousand low-grade spirit stones on the market. Now, after the crowd started to fight for it, it had almost doubled in price, and had far exceeded his expectations.
Moreover, this was only the first item in the auction.
As the first item was successfully auctioned off, the atmosphere of the entire auction became heated.
The old man on the auction stage also displayed the first item that was about to be auctioned without any hesitation upon seeing this scene.
Very quickly, the second and third items were auctioned off in a short period of time...
One item after another appeared on the auction list. At this moment, under the old man's powerful sales drive... They were sold at different prices. The lowest price was more than double the cost. As for many items, they had already reached double or even more. Some of the rare and rare items were also three times the original price.
This would definitely allow the organizers of the auction to make a huge profit. At the same time, under the old man's push, the atmosphere of the entire auction rose to unprecedented heights. Everyone's eyes turned crimson red, and it was obvious that their emotions had been completely stirred. This was also the old man's intention, to pave the way for the cultivators to bid a higher price.
When he saw this, the old man revealed a smile on his face. As a veteran auctioneer, he understood people's hearts the most. Even some of the charming and enchanting female auctioneer were not as good at manipulating the crowd's emotions as him.
The auction had only begun the first half of the auction, but now, every cultivator's face revealed a more or less excited expression. There was no other reason. The auction held once every three years was clearly not an undeserved reputation. Fortunately, they had truly come into contact with it. For some cultivators, it could be considered as a bountiful harvest.
However, these cultivators were only ordinary cultivators. As for those with the status of Kindness and Integrity, they had yet to make their move. It was only the climax of the auction.
After all, only the most precious items would appear in the end. Even if they were not the most precious, it was impossible for them to appear too early. Everyone was well aware of this fact.
However, this situation quickly occurred. As time passed and the value of the items in the auction increased, that kind of precious treasure gradually entered the eyes of everyone.
In the face of these precious items being auctioned, other than Ling Jian, who was not interested in them, there were also cultivators who could no longer endure the loneliness and bid from the rooms in the VIP area.
Among them, it naturally included Kindness without discipline.
Even a powerful existence like him, who was one of the three great clan heads of the Crimson Alliance's Spiritual City, was also incomparably tempted by these items that had appeared later on.
Previously, the cultivators in the guest area did not bid. Now that they had joined this kind of auction, it instantly caused the atmosphere of the entire auction to reach a relatively high level.
Every time a cultivator bid, it would cause most of the cultivators present to shrink back without exception. Although more than half of the cultivators in the Skysoul Dao were cultivators, how could their financial resources compare to those Heavenly Dao cultivators?
Not to mention, there were even some cultivators from the guest areas.
After all, not everyone could enjoy the privilege of being treated as a guest. The cultivators who lived in the guest zone were not the same person. They also had a great influence behind them.
Even though it was not comparable to the Shan Clan, which was one of the three great clans in the Crimson Alliance Spiritual City, however... The resources they possessed were not something that any rogue cultivator could match. Similarly, the ones who were able to raise the price were... Apart from the cultivators in the guest zone, they were not among them.
Therefore, under such circumstances, the bidders were all among the cultivators in the guest area. As for the cultivators with no background, they could only be the spectators at the side. They could only watch helplessly as the merchandise flowed into the guest area one after another.
The auctioneer on the auction stage also saw this scene. He did not care about the emotions of the vast majority of the cultivators. Instead, his gaze swept across the various guest areas. A satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Although the number of people bidding was much lower, at the same time, every single one of them was undoubtedly extremely generous, and the profit they could bring to the auction house was also incomparably enormous.
The auction was still being held unhurriedly.
At the same time, in the VIP area where Ling Jian was.
He was still sitting on a stool. His face was as calm as water and his eyes were tightly shut. He was not interested in anything that was being auctioned outside.
Beside him, the female cultivator from the auction was currently displaying an extremely restless expression. Surprise flashed across the depths of her eyes.
If it wasn't for the fact that she was afraid of disturbing Ling Jian, she wouldn't have been able to refrain herself from speaking.
It was truly because Ling Jian's performance was too calm. Since the beginning of the auction... All the way until now, the items being auctioned were constantly changing. Even after the cultivators in the guest area joined the bidding, Ling Jian still remained calm and collected.
That indifferent attitude that seemed to not care about anything completely surprised her.
After all, in her opinion, if one did not have sufficient knowledge, it was absolutely impossible to maintain a calm heart when encountering any treasure.
"Everyone, I believe everyone will be interested in the next item to be auctioned."
On the auction stage, the old man said to everyone with a smile after auctioning the last item.
At this moment, the entire auction had become extremely quiet. Everyone was staring at the auctioneer with rapt attention.
Seeing this, the auctioneer did not continue to keep them in suspense. Instead, he raised his palm and gently patted in front of him. In the next moment, everyone saw a woman in a long red dress walking over with a jade plate in her hand. The jade tray was covered by a red cloth.
Everything looked normal. If it was not for the words of the old man who had just been auctioned, they would have thought that at most, the items being auctioned would be a little more precious. As for the uniqueness, it would not be so.
Seeing this, the auctioneer did not reveal any surprise. He immediately waved his hand and the red gauze covering the jade plate was sent flying. At the same time, it displayed the item that was being auctioned.
It was a scroll. At this moment, the scroll was still emitting a faint luster. It looked extremely mysterious. These light dots gathered and vaguely formed an illusionary pattern. It made the entire scroll look extremely magical.
Everyone looked at the scroll, especially when they saw the dots of light emitting from the scroll. Many cultivators were slightly shocked.
Even the cultivators in the guest area closest to the scroll showed interest after seeing this.
Shan Wuji mumbled to himself in Ling Jian's guest zone after seeing this. "It seems like the highlight is about to arrive."
It was also at this moment that the auctioneer's voice transmitted into the ears of every cultivator on the auction stage. "Everyone, the next item to be auctioned is a Peak Heaven Spiritual Technique. At the same time, it's also the second last item to be auctioned."
Hua.
After the auctioneer's voice sounded, the atmosphere of the entire auction instantly became extremely heated. When some of the cultivators heard the words peak Heaven grade spirit art, their expressions all changed.
Everyone's gaze immediately turned towards the mysterious scroll, and each and every one of their faces revealed an expression of shock.
"Oh my god, it's actually a peak Heaven grade spirit art. I didn't expect such a treasure to appear so quickly."
"The peak heaven-grade spirit art from the last auction was the finale. Now, a peak heaven-grade spirit art has appeared so quickly."
"Looks like the quality of this year's auction will be even higher. It hasn't even reached the finale yet. It can be imagined how precious the finale item will be."
"The Peak Heaven Rank cultivation technique that appeared last time was obtained by the Yang Clan. If the Yang Clan manages to obtain another Peak Heaven Rank cultivation technique this time, I'm afraid that the situation of the Crimson Alliance's three great clans will be completely broken."
"Looks like this time, the people from the Dispersed Praying Clan won't sit idly by and watch. Previously, no one had deliberately competed for it. Now that the Heaven Level Peak cultivation technique has appeared, they will definitely not give in and fight for it."
...
Almost as soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire auction hall was instantly ignited to a rather fiery degree, reaching its current peak.
At this moment, in the VIP area, all the prominent figures were unable to remain calm. Among them, especially the Patriarchs of the three great clans, they were all rubbing their fists at this moment. They also knew what the meaning of such a Peak Heaven Spiritual Technique was. If they could succeed... It would be sufficient to lead their families to become more powerful.
As for the young cultivators who had rushed over from the Skysoul Palace, all of them had shocked expressions on their faces. They had never imagined that a spirit art of this level would appear in this auction.
After all, for a Heavenly Dao cultivator, a peak heaven-grade spirit art couldn't possibly be a cabbage by the roadside. It was something that they could casually encounter, and it wasn't something that they could casually possess. Even in the Glory's Will Palace, if one wanted to cultivate such a spirit art... Even so, they would still need a lot of Heavenly Spirit Points.
In the guest area where Ling Jian was.
Just as everyone was in shock due to the appearance of the Peak Heaven Rank spirit art, Ling Jian's originally expressionless face started to show a trace of spirit at this moment.
His gaze was also like everyone else's, looking at the scroll on the auction stage. After looking at it for a moment, he retracted his gaze and no longer paid attention to it.
This scene naturally could not be hidden from the female cultivator who had been paying attention to the auction. When she saw this scene, the shock on her face instantly became even more overwhelming. Her expression was truly unable to remain calm.
This was a peak Heaven Spiritual Technique. It was something that could only be chanced upon by luck even in the entire Heaven Alliance's Ling Tian. Once it appeared, it would definitely be priceless. Unexpectedly, it did not attract much interest from Ling Jian instead.
The auctioneer took a look at the auction and was quite satisfied with it. He said, "Everyone, quiet down."
After the crowd quietened down, he slowly began to explain to the crowd. "This is a Heavenly Spiritual Technique, an offensive Spiritual Technique called the Violet Shadow Bind. The most unique aspect of this Spiritual Technique was that even though it was an offensive Spiritual Technique, it only appeared for an instant when it was unleashed. Bang! If one was unable to break through the binding force, even a peak Heavenly Execution Realm cultivator might not be able to see anything in a short period of time. However, after a long period of time, one will be able to discover how terrifying it is."
"This is especially true when one is unable to escape at the first possible moment. Its power will continue to grow along with the cultivator's attacks until it reaches the same level of power as the cultivator itself."
"It can be imagined that if its power reaches the same level as the Heavenly Execution Realm cultivator, even if it has many techniques, it will still be extremely difficult to come out."
"Even if one knows that one is not a match for the other party, this technique can still be used as a means to protect one's life. In addition, the Ten Thousand Shadow Binding was unleashed from the tip of my finger, so I'm sure you all know it better than I do. This type of spirit technique is the most difficult to defend against in a battle. There's no need to say anything about the value of this spirit art. "
"Hehe, to be honest, although I am an auctioneer, if it wasn't for my limited financial resources, I would probably have participated in the auction of the Myriad Shackles."
The old man on the auction stage laughed heartily. However, after hearing the old man's words for such a long time, the ordinary cultivators and the cultivators in the VIP area below the stage were all unable to laugh.
Especially the cultivators in the guest area. At this moment, their eyes were extremely red as they locked onto the scroll that was emitting a faint luster. At this moment, their breathing became extremely rapid.
The auctioneer's eyes swept across the crowd and was not surprised by the cultivators' performance. Then, he said indifferently, "Any Heaven grade spirit technique's price is one hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones. As for the Ten Thousand Shadow Bind, due to its special characteristics, it's comparable to other attacking spirit arts. The price will be higher."
After saying that, the old man paused.
At the same time, the cultivators who came to the auction felt their hearts were about to jump. They could vaguely feel that the old man's next words would not be simple...
The old man didn't stop for long and continued. “ What price? The old man asked again, Since this spirit art is being auctioned off, there will naturally be a starting price. The starting price of the Ten Thousand Shadow Bind is 100,000 low grade spirit stones, and each increment must not be lower than 10,000 low grade snacks. The upper limit does not exist. If anyone can bid a sky-high price in one go, then there will naturally be no need to continue bidding for this thing."
"Therefore, if you are interested, you can start bidding."
After the auctioneer finished speaking, he once again fell into silence, smiling as he looked at the surrounding cultivators.
Although he was able to bid at a sky-high price, he did not think that there was such a rich person.
At this moment, the auction house also did not make any noise. Everything became extremely quiet.0
