The number of people at the auction was so small, but Liu Ming didn't feel too strange.
After all, the requirements of the Condensation Period later stage or having a guarantee from the merchants in the valley would directly screen out most of the outsiders who wanted to come in to watch the auction or join in the fun.
Among the people present, many of them were companions or people who belonged to the same force. Those who really intended to bid for the spiritual weapon should be less than a hundred.
Even so, there were more than a dozen people in the cave that Liu Ming couldn't see through their cultivation, and there were as many as eight people who made him feel a little uneasy just by their aura.
"It seems that this place is really full of hidden talents. I have to be 120% careful since I'm alone!"
Liu Ming secretly thought with a wry smile.
"Everyone, welcome to my auction. I won't say much about the rules. I believe everyone is well aware of them. The highest bidder wins the Spirit Weapon. If you don't have enough Spirit Stones, you can use various materials and treasures to make up for it."
It was Yan Jue himself who presided over this auction!
Behind the stone platform, there were three black wooden chairs placed separately. Each of them had a man in a black robe with a black smiley face mask. They didn't move, but their aura was unfathomable.
These should be the three Crystallization Period powerhouses of the Black Flame Palace who were in charge of this auction.
After Yan Jue finished, he paused for a moment, glanced at the people in the venue, and then said,
"Since everyone has no objection, let's get started."
He flipped his hand, and a long jade box appeared in his hand. The jade box opened, revealing a few feet long flying sword lying quietly in it.
"The first auction item, upper grade spiritual weapon, Blood Condensing Flying Sword. It has the magical effect of absorbing blood, and it contains twenty-six enchantments. The starting price is two hundred thousand spirit stones, and each bid must not be less than ten thousand spirit stones. "Yan Jue said faintly with no expression.
As soon as this remark came out, it caused an uproar at the scene.
One had to know that swords were the most demanding type of offensive totems in terms of materials. Sword cultivators were also the most outstanding cultivators of the same level. Furthermore, swords with 26 restrictions were already very close to the best quality totems.
Although 200,000 Spirit Stones was quite a hefty price, it was naturally worth it for such a flying sword.
Seeing that the first item wasn't the Soul Lock, Liu Ming was slightly disappointed. He immediately closed his eyes and rested on his seat.
"200,000!"
"220,000!"
"Two hundred fifty thousand!"
…
Sure enough, as soon as this high-grade flying sword appeared, it caused the crowd to raise the price.
After an intense bidding war, the flying sword was sold to a woman wearing a bamboo hat for a high price of 310,000.
As Liu Ming expected, the next two auction items were not the Soul Suppressing Lock, but a small blue cauldron and a dark green leather armor. Both of them were high-grade spiritual weapons with twenty-six or twenty-seven layers of restrictions. They were sold for a sky-high price of 350,000 and 400,000 respectively.
The reason for this was naturally because the latter two had several special effects such as trapping and weakening the enemy, and the other was a rare defensive spiritual weapon that had one more restriction than the flying sword.
Liu Ming couldn't help but be surprised. One had to know that an ordinary supreme-grade Spirit Artifact was only worth a little more than a million Spirit Stones.
The competition for these high-grade spiritual weapons was so fierce, and they could still be sold at such a high price. It seemed that Yan Jue's reputation as a forging master was really well-deserved.
"The fourth auction item, intermediate grade spiritual weapon, Soul Lock, contains eighteen layers of restrictions."
At this moment, Yan Jue took out a square wooden box with one hand.
He clapped with one hand, and the lid of the box immediately opened, revealing a small silver lock that was engraved with layers of spirit patterns. It looked like it was only a few inches in size, but it was extremely exquisite, and it faintly exuded an indescribable cold aura.
"Soul Lock, although it is an intermediate grade spiritual weapon, I used Thousand Years Filthy Silver and upper grade blood puppet wood. I spent forty-nine days to carefully forge it. It contains eighteen layers of restrictions. It is only one layer away from the upper grade spiritual weapon. There may be many friends wondering why I will auction this intermediate grade spiritual weapon after the other three. There is only one reason, which is that the value of this item is above the previous three upper grade spiritual weapons. "Yan Jue held the mini silver lock in his hand and said slowly.
As soon as this was said, it naturally caused a commotion among the people here, but no one asked for a while. They all knew that this forging master would explain the reason.
"When I first refined this spirit artifact, I had originally intended to refine an ordinary spirit artifact that could withstand mental secret techniques. Who knew that some unexpected changes would occur during the refinement process? As a result, although the grade of this spiritual weapon is much lower than the original intended, and it is only passable in resisting mystic arts, it has two other new effects. One is that it can effectively resist the evil spirit's possession, and the other is that it can increase the user's mental power to a certain extent. The former is fine. Not many people can use it, but if the latter falls into the hands of a friend with strong mental power, it is infinitely useful. More importantly, even if it's me, I can't refine the same Soul Lock for the second time, so I put it after the first three upper grade spiritual weapons. "As Yan Jue said this, he deliberately paused and looked at everyone's reaction.
Sure enough, after he said a few words such as increasing one's mental power, it immediately caused a whisper in the cave.
Many people's eyes lit up, and the indifferent expression on their faces disappeared at the same time.
As a matter of fact, spiritual weapons that could resist mystic arts were rare, and spiritual weapons that could increase one's own mental power were naturally even rarer. Now this Soul Lock had these two effects at the same time. It was quite shocking, even if it was just an intermediate grade spiritual weapon.
When Yan Jue saw this, he showed a satisfied expression, and he announced in a deep voice,
"As for the effect of this spiritual weapon, I can't say it clearly. I can only say that it will never let you down. Well, the base price of this spiritual weapon is three hundred thousand. Each bid increment must not be less than twenty thousand. Now the auction starts. "
"Four hundred thousand spirit stones."
As soon as Yan Jue spoke, someone immediately spoke and directly raised the price by one hundred thousand spirit stones.
Such a high bid, in addition to making many people shocked, it also made some people swallow back the words that they had already shouted.
After a while, someone snorted and directly shouted the price of "five hundred thousand".
As soon as this price came out, it made the entire cave quiet. No one bid again for a while.
After all, the price of a superb spiritual weapon was only more than one million spirit stones at the auction outside. An intermediate grade spiritual weapon, even if the supplementary effect was rare and amazing, the price was still a bit high.
At the same time, the first bidder, a Sea Creature Clan woman who was shrouded in a light blue halo with several people around her, couldn't help but frown.
"Aunty Yu, forget it. If you fight for it again, the price of this spiritual weapon will only be raised higher. It may affect our mission." The masked girl next to her advised softly at this time.
"Never mind, this trip still has to focus on the important matter. However, the people who bid just now, even if they hid their heads but showed their tails, I have already remembered their breath. After we finish the important matter, we might have a chance to get this thing again. "The Sea Creature Clan woman looked coldly at the three people in the distance who were all wearing yellow cloaks, and she replied coldly.
This time, the masked girl nodded and said nothing.
As for the skinny old man Li Kun next to her, he was expressionless. He didn't express any opinion on this at all.
However, at this moment, a faint voice called out a price, causing everyone else to be dumbfounded.
"Five hundred and fifty thousand spirit stones."
The person who bid was naturally Liu Ming who had been closing his eyes to rest.
At this moment, he had opened his eyes, and his voice was slightly hoarse. It was completely different from his original voice.
The three people wearing yellow cloaks were naturally very surprised when they heard Liu Ming's bid. After the three of them looked at each other, the tall and sturdy person in the middle immediately called out a price of "six hundred thousand" in a cold voice.
"Six hundred and fifty thousand spirit stones."
Liu Ming added another fifty thousand spirit stones without hesitation.
With such a high price, even if the three of them had some wealth, they couldn't help but look at each other.
"Good, very good. It seems that this Daoist fellow is determined to obtain this Soul Suppressing Lock. Never mind, then I will give it to you. I hope you can keep this thing well. "The man in the middle in the yellow cloak said a few words coldly, and he finally quit the bidding.
But the threat in their words was undoubtedly revealed.
Liu Ming naturally didn't care about this.
Such a high price made Yan Jue on the stone platform smile a lot, and he immediately announced the result.
Liu Ming only needed to wait for the entire auction to end and bring enough spirit stones and materials to find Yan Jue, then he could get this spiritual weapon in his hands.
"It is estimated that all of you have been waiting for this for a long time. Next is the finale item of this auction. It is also a rare masterpiece of this old man in recent years. It is the superb spiritual weapon, Tidal Shield, which contains 31 enchantments, which has been poured into this old man for several years."
As soon as this remark came out, the entire cave fell into an extremely quiet and strange atmosphere.
Everyone's eyes were staring at Yan Jue on the high platform, and most of them looked shocked.
Yan Jue didn't rush to take out the auction item when he saw it, but he glanced at the people under the platform again, then he smiled mysteriously.
At the next moment, he grabbed in the air with one hand, and a green jade box appeared between his five fingers.
Yan Jue threw the jade box in front of him, and he shook his sleeve. The lid opened silently, and he carefully took out a flat and round object and showed it to everyone.
A small crystal shield emitting a dazzling golden light was reflected in everyone's eyes.
