C552 It Was the Work of the Divine Master
Just as Lin Xuan was in a daze, Situ Xianer stared at Loong Yin and said fiercely, "This is the good stuff that you talked about in a mysterious way just now?"
"It's really good stuff. Hurry up and take a picture. It will be useful in the future!" She curled her lips and said angrily.
Loong Yin was not angry. He said happily, "Hehe, don't you not believe me. This thing is really not simple. Even if I want to take a picture of it, I do not have the ability. The final price will definitely be an astronomical figure! "
"There will be a lot of big shots who are about to die trying to kill me!"
Lin Xuan slightly raised his eyebrows. Obviously, Loong Yin also knew the inside story.
At this moment, in the auction hall, when the grey-clothed old man saw that the atmosphere was about to end, he finally spoke again.
"This first transaction might be controversial, but I presume that all the Fellow Daoists present here should be clearly aware of its value. It can only be chanced upon by luck, but not sought after!"
"Alright, the auction will officially begin now. After some discussion, the auction has decided to set the starting price of this Black Gold Ancient Coffin at three million high-grade Spirit Stones!"
"Each bid must be at least ten thousand high grade Spirit Stones. "
Who would have thought that after the grey-robed old man in charge of the auction finished speaking, the entire Treasure Tower seemed to have erupted into an uproar. Many cultivators expressed their doubts in puzzlement!
"Three million high grade Spirit Stones. . . Why don't you go and fight for it!"
"This lousy coffin really has such a high value?"
"Am I crazy, or are you guys crazy? It's just a crappy coffin, and you actually dare to set such a high price?"
"The shop is deceiving the customers!"
"I don't believe that there are fools who would buy it!"
Even Situ Xianer was a little confused when she heard this terrifying price. She did not understand the crux of the matter.
"How is this possible?"
Lin Xuan's eyes sized up the ancient black golden coffin and stared at those so-called divine patterns. He muttered, "Nothing is impossible!"
"What did you say?"
Situ Xianer didn't seem to hear him clearly.
However, Lin Xuan did not speak again. He was just thinking in his heart.
Those divine patterns weren't some kind of characters, but ancient spirit patterns.
They were very similar to the patterns on the Heaven Comparing Atlas, but they weren't the original version, and were much simpler.
It could only be said that it was very coincidental that Lin Xuan was able to understand them.
Back then, although only a year and a half had passed in the outside world, he was in that state. He was pulled into the illusory and real world by the imprint, but he did not just stay there for a year and a half.
In that illusory world, the flow of time was extremely fast. The outside world was relatively long.
The year in the outside world might be ten years in that illusory world.
In the endless war, those mysterious Primitive Runes were also used by Lin Xuan. In that illusory world that was close to the real world, he was not afraid of backlash, because after dying, he would revive and enter a new cycle.
After searching and experimenting countless times, Lin Xuan finally grasped the secrets of those Primitive Runes.
It was more useful than the assistance of the so-called 'system'!
What he lacked now was his cultivation level and cultivation level. Inscribing overly complicated spirit patterns, especially those that were closer to the Primitive Rune, required a very high requirement of his cultivation level. Otherwise, he would suffer a terrifying backlash.
In his eyes, the divine patterns within this black golden ancient coffin were close to ancient symbols. The first few versions of the Primitive Rune evolved in later generations were even closer to the Primitive Rune, and they were even more obscure and difficult to understand. Moreover, the inscriptions were extremely complicated.
The use of these divine patterns wasn't to allow one to live a second life.
Instead, it was to use the power of the symbols closest to the original to suppress one's own body.
Delaying death, sealing that state where one was on the verge of death, and buying some precious time for one to live a second life.
The divine patterns within the black golden ancient coffin had some effects, but they weren't the foundation.
Wanting to live a second life wasn't that simple!
On the auction stage, the kindly looking grey-clothed old man did not care about the noise. He faintly smiled and extended his hand to call out, "Fellow Daoists, please begin bidding!"
Sure enough, just as Loong Yin had expected, after the old man spoke, several mighty figures in the entire Treasure Tower started bidding. It was extremely intense, and no young cultivators had the right to interfere!
"Three million and two hundred thousand!"
"I bid three million and five hundred thousand high-grade Spirit Stones!"
"Four million!" A sonorous and powerful voice came from the upper floors of the Treasure Tower, scaring many people away!
"What. . . There are actually so many powerful people fighting over this broken coffin? Could it be that it really has value that we don't know about?"
Many of the young cultivators in the hall were flabbergasted and cried out in alarm.
"Haha, young people are still inexperienced in the end, and they don't understand how precious this treasure is!"
An aged voice spoke and criticized.
"Exactly. Even if you intentionally searched for it, you wouldn't be able to find it. It's difficult to estimate its value!"
There were older generation figures who agreed, agreeing with the value of the Black Gold Ancient Coffin.
The highest level of the Treasure Tower, even Situ Xianer was shaken. She slightly frowned her beautiful eyes and said in disbelief, "Could it be that it really is going to be auctioned off at a sky-high price?"
"Is this broken coffin really that valuable?"
Lin Xuan shook his head slightly, then nodded and said, "Although this Black Gold Ancient Coffin is considered a divine material, it is not rare. It is not worth so many Spirit Stones. "
"What's valuable is the divine patterns in that Ancient Black Gold Coffin. "
"It must be the work of a Heavenly Master to be able to inscribe such complicated divine patterns. "
Everyone knew that the Dao of formation patterns was extremely obscure, and it was virtually impossible for those who weren't extremely talented to have any accomplishments.
This was something that could be probed from Lin Xuan alone. The half of the Heaven Comparing Atlas that he'd comprehended had been obtained at the price of countless deaths.
An ordinary formation master's cultivation realm was low, and they were unable to withstand the backlash. They did not dare to casually try and inscribe divine patterns according to the existing ancient records.
The many types of formations recorded in the ancient records were all created by generations of formation masters who studied them with their lives.
If one could become a supreme master among array formation masters, then they could stand shoulder to shoulder with supreme experts. In fact, in terms of status, they were far more respected than supreme experts.
It was not an exaggeration to say that there was not a single one in ten thousand!
An array formation master, also known as a Heavenly Master, was a supreme expert who was not inferior to a Human King. His status was even more respected!
Generally speaking, a formation grandmaster was at least a Human King. This was because the higher the level of the complicated divine patterns that were inscribed, the higher the level of the support needed. Otherwise, one would not have the foundation to withstand the backlash of heaven and earth.2
On the other hand, it was mostly difficult for a Human King to possess the attainments of an array formation grandmaster.
Above the Heavenly Master, there were even Saint Masters that were hard to find throughout the ages. Perhaps even the end of an era wouldn't be able to give birth to a single person.
In the outside world, there were many ancient Immortal Sect and holy lands, and the mountain protecting formations were all created by Saint Masters.
From this, it could be seen how important the Cultivators of the formation line were.
At the top of the Heavenly Dragon Treasure Tower, under Situ Xianer's speechless expression, Lin Xuan smiled at the right time.
Then he slowly opened his mouth and said: "The discovery of a divine item left behind by a Heavenly Master in the auction might very well have something to do with his second life. Do you think those elders who don't have much lifespan will let go of such a divine item?"
