"Undying Body!" Murong Qingcheng's brows twitched.
For people under the Life and Death Realm, the allure of the undying body was beyond imagination. Life and Death Realm was hard to reach — this was the common understanding of the whole True Spirit Continent. Since the ancient era until now, the number of Life and Death Kings born every hundred years did not exceed ten. Occasionally, there would be more, but it would not be too excessive. It should be known that the population of the True Spirit Continent was close to a hundred trillion. Geniuses were as numerous as the stars in the ocean, and there were countless of them. However, after a hundred years, only ten geniuses would be able to reach the Life and Death Realm. How hard was it? Countless people squeezed onto a single log bridge, and only a few would succeed.
How hard was it? Only by experiencing it personally would one understand what was going on. Therefore, the Sea of Souls Realm was the limit of most people's potential, and it was impossible for them to continue growing stronger. At this time, the undying body would be their ultimate goal. With the undying body, they would at least be able to compete with Life and Death Realm Kings in some aspects, which was enough to drive people crazy.
Ye Chen could not help but be moved. The undying body of Life and Death Realm seemed to have two realms on the surface, but in fact, there were three realms. The first was Regrowing Limbs, the second was Flesh Growth, and the last was Blood Rebirth. The only difference was that not everyone could reach the second realm. Of course, it did not mean that the second realm was harder than the third, but that some people would directly jump from the first realm to the third realm without going through the second realm, which would take a lot of time. On the other hand, people with great talent and comprehensive ability would advance step by step, and would not neglect the second realm. After all, only after going through the second realm and reaching the third realm would one's foundation be more solid. Moreover, jumping from the first realm to the third realm was simply too hard. More than ninety-nine percent of people would not be able to make it, and would only be stuck at the first realm.
Whether it was the first realm, the second realm, or the even higher third realm, they were all beyond the imagination of ordinary people. It could be said that having the undying body was equivalent to having a greater potential. Life and death battles, breaking into forbidden areas, and stepping into unknown dangerous areas all required the support of the undying body. Living longer was also a talent that could not be ignored.
Cough cough cough!
On the auction stage, the old man coughed a few times and slowly said, "The auction item I'm talking about is a map, a map to find the secrets of the Undying Body. The starting price is one thousand Medium Rank Soul Stones. Once again, I can't guarantee the authenticity of the map. If it is a fake, please don't be angry, otherwise, the starting price will be much higher than one thousand Medium Rank Soul Stones."
"A starting price of one thousand Medium Spiritual Stones, Elder Gao, this is too low! Whether it's real or fake, as long as it contains information about an immortal body, it's enough to fetch a sky-high price. "
Someone voiced out his doubts. It wasn't that he was stupid and wanted the price to be higher because he had a lot of spirit stones. Rather, he was a little worried. No matter how he looked at it, a map that contained the secrets of an undying body was worth more than a thousand mid-grade spirit stones. There was definitely something fishy about it. Perhaps, the auction house also believed that this map was fake.
"Yeah! Elder Gao, what's going on? "
"If you don't explain clearly, we won't dare to bid for it."
This person had clearly spoken out what everyone else was thinking. All of them looked curiously at Old Man Gao.
Old Man Gao smiled and said, "Because there isn't just one map, but three hundred of them. Three hundred identical maps, the starting price for each is one thousand mid-grade spirit stones."
"What? Three hundred!"
"Are you kidding me?"
The auction house was in an uproar.
Old Man Gao was already prepared for this kind of situation. He cleared his throat and said, "Alright, I won't explain too much. The starting price for each map is one thousand mid-grade spirit stones. For most people, this is not a high price. As for whether or not you want to buy it, that's up to you. The bidding for the first map begins now."
The auction house was quiet. No one called out a price. Most people were just waiting and watching.
Old Man Gao was not in a hurry. No matter what, whether the map was real or fake was still uncertain. He didn't believe that no one would bid for it. Once there was a first, there would be a second, and then a third. The auction would only become more and more popular. Right now, no one was bidding. It was just the calm before the storm. There was no need to panic.
"One thousand!"
A starting price of one thousand mid-grade spirit stones was indeed not high. However, if it was ten thousand, then it might not necessarily be the case. Therefore, after a moment of silence, the first bid rang out.
"One thousand one hundred!"
It took a while for the second bid to catch up.
In VIP room 398, Ye Chen raised his hand and said, "Two thousand."
Hearing him, a lot of people looked over at the VIP room Ye Chen was in. Everyone knew how rich he was, and it was not something normal people could compete with. Plus, there were three hundred copies of the map, so there was no need to fight for the first one. With that thought in mind, no one continued to bid.
Just like that, Ye Chen obtained the first map.
Murong Qingcheng smiled. She understood Ye Chen's way of doing things. Three hundred maps seemed like a lot, but there would be a time when they would all be auctioned off. At that time, there would be too many monks and not enough meat. Instead, the price would increase. If she bought it now, she could save a lot of spirit stones.
The second map began to be auctioned. Just like the first map, there were not many people bidding for it. It stopped at two thousand mid-grade spirit stones.
"Three thousand!"
The one who made the bid was Murong Qingcheng. Although she had given all her mid-grade spirit stones to Ye Chen, she still had an unused mid-grade artifact. If she mortgaged it to the auction house at a low price, it would be worth twenty to thirty thousand mid-grade spirit stones. As for her thoughts, she was the same as Ye Chen. She wanted to buy it and take a look. Even if it was fake, she would only lose three thousand mid-grade spirit stones at most.
"This map is very strange. It's not animal figures, it's abstract figures." Ye Chen opened the animal skin scroll and found that this map was different from normal maps. There was no road map, but only a line that connected everything together. The starting point was a rooster, followed by a skull, then a toad, two circles and a square … Ye Chen couldn't figure out what was going on.
Murong Qingcheng opened her own animal skin scroll, frowned and said, "Maybe it's a hint, or maybe it's fake. It's just deliberately mystifying."
It was easy to tell if a normal map was real or fake. If one put something that they could not understand on it, it would be possible to fool people for a while.
Ye Chen nodded, "There will be many people studying this map. We can just watch from the sidelines."
Three hundred copies of the same map. There had never been such a precedent in Three Yin City. After this auction, it would no doubt cause a huge uproar.
Next, the third map was sold for two thousand five hundred mid-grade spirit stones.
The fourth, two thousand eight hundred.
The fifth, three thousand two hundred.
Up to the fiftieth map, the price did not exceed five thousand mid-grade spirit stones.
But at the fifty-first map, the situation finally warmed up. The bids gradually increased, breaking five thousand for the first time, reaching five thousand and one hundred.
Many people regretted it. If they had known this would happen, they would have bought one at the beginning. Now that they wanted to buy it, the price had doubled. The smart people finally made up their minds and prepared to buy one. Those who were hesitant were still waiting. They wanted to buy it at a low price when there was no one else to bid. Unfortunately, they would not have this chance again. The price of the map kept rising. Occasionally it would fall, but it was very limited.
People were strange. When no one was paying attention, they would not pay attention. But when there were too many people paying attention, they could not help it. There were very few people who could keep their hearts.
"Ten thousand!"
Someone bid ten thousand for the two hundred and twenty-third map.
"You are crazy. Ten thousand mid-grade spirit stones for a map whose authenticity is unknown." The person next to him had a complicated expression. In fact, he also wanted the map.
"I am not crazy. There are already more than two hundred maps. If I do not buy it now, even ten thousand mid-grade spirit stones may not be enough."
"Wait a little longer. Maybe the price will fall quickly."
"Just wait! I do not want to regret it. "
The two hundred and fifty-eighth map.
"Fifteen thousand."
"Sixteen thousand."
"Eighteen thousand!"
The scene finally exploded. There were only more than forty maps left. Whether they regretted it or not, it was meaningless. Those who wanted it would naturally go all out. Those who did not want it would not be moved even if they died. Of course, the number of the latter was pitifully low.
"Twenty thousand!"
The bidder was in the VIP room on the fifth floor.
The old man was startled. He could naturally tell that the bidder was Yin Demon Ancestor. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and he came to a shocking conclusion. The map might very well be real, at least in Yin Demon Ancestor's eyes. Otherwise, there would be no need for him to bid for his item. This was clearly a show for other Sea of Soul realm experts. After all, there were many people who knew him, and they could tell from his voice alone. This way, people would not associate the map's original owner with Yin Demon Ancestor. On the contrary, if he did not buy it, it would inevitably raise suspicion. Which Sea of Soul realm experts would not be tempted by the Undying Body? Even Sea of Soul realm experts were no exception.
"F * ck! This is too much of a scam! The first two thousand mid-grade spirit stones was enough to bid for it. How could it reach twenty thousand in such a short time?"
"Who told you not to buy it earlier?"
"Brother, let's share one map! With your strength, you cannot do it alone. The more people, the more hope. "
"Don't try to take advantage of me. I bid for it with nine thousand mid-grade spirit stones. Give me six thousand, we can share."
"Who are you trying to scam? Wasn't half four thousand five hundred?"
"The price has increased."
"You win!"
On the auction platform, the old man's face was beaming with happiness. The situation was exactly as he had expected. There was not even one in ten thousand people who could remain unmoved by the undying body. Some people knew that they were not strong enough, but they still wanted to give it a try. Of course, this was not because they were overestimating themselves. Strength was important, but luck was even more important.
Luck was not always on the side of the strong.
"There are three maps left. After that, there will be no more. The 298th map, let the bidding begin."
As soon as he spoke, the bidding didn't stop, reaching more than thirty thousand. The bidder was a Sea of Soul realm expert. Only Sea of Soul realm experts could keep their composure. In any case, several tens of thousands of mid-grade spirit stones were nothing to them, so they didn't need to be calculative.
The next two maps were sold at an even higher price. The second one was sold at forty-five thousand mid-grade spirit stones, while the last one was sold at fifty thousand. Both were won by Sea of Soul realm experts.
The Astral Reaching experts who had spirit stones earlier but didn't bid, and wanted to bid later but didn't have enough spirit stones, were filled with regret. They all made up their minds that if they had such an opportunity in the future, they would definitely be the first to bid. However, it was easy to say, but when it came to the crucial moment, how many people could remember their original determination?
"The auction of the maps ends here. Next is the final item …"
As the disturbance of the map passed, the auction reached its end. Apart from the Sea of Soul realm experts who had some wealth, the majority of the people weren't paying attention to the final item. They were studying the maps in their hands. Not to mention, some people who had studied the history of Extreme Yin Region were able to see something.
