Ling Daozi couldn't find anything special about this stone after studying it for a while. He pretended not to know Qin Feng and said indifferently, "Are you sure you want to bid for this broken stone?"
"That's right. I've always liked to collect rocks. It's a quirk of mine!" Qin Feng casually made up a cover to avoid everyone's suspicion.
"The starting price of this stone is 10,000 yuan. You can raise the price now!" Ling Daozi said.
Before Qin Feng could speak, a young warrior suddenly ran out of the crowd. He was a disciple of the Sky Mountain Sect based on his attire.
"Alliance Master Ling Daozi, Young Hero … I'm the one who placed this stone here for auction. Previously, Young Hero gave me a Qi Strengthening Pill for free. Since Young Hero has taken a liking to this lousy stone, how can I take your money? I'll give it to Young Hero for free!
Ling Daozi was stunned. He looked at Qin Feng and waited for his opinion.
Qin Feng said with a smile, "Then I won't be unreasonable. May I know your name? You can find me when you have time in the future!"
The man was overjoyed and said excitedly, "Young hero, I'm Chen Fan, a disciple of the Sky Mountain Sect!"
Qin Feng nodded, but he didn't leave his name because it was useless to leave his identity as Zheng Shuai.
The reason why Qin Feng asked for Chen Fan's name was not to be polite. This stone was brought by Chen Fan. Qin Feng planned to have a chat with Chen Fan after the Treasure Inspection Convention to find out how he obtained this stone.
Chen Fan had already given the stone to Qin Feng with a smile. Qin Feng chatted with Chen Fan for a while and then took the stone to a corner where there was no one.
The auction was still going on, and the atmosphere was getting more and more heated. This was because the items auctioned later on were rarer and rarer treasures.
The venue was filled with screams and more and more people were bidding. Their minds were on the treasures on the two shelves, and no one paid attention to Qin Feng in the corner.
As Qin Feng sat on the chair, he had already used his mind to sense the stone. The originally pitch-black and ordinary stone unexpectedly emitted waves of spiritual energy. Moreover, the Emerald Spirit Ring on Qin Feng's finger also began to vibrate. Obviously, this stone was the treasure that the Emerald Spirit Ring had identified.
"Little Pig, this stone seems a little strange. Is it a Saint Soul Stone?" Qin Feng held the stone and studied it for a while, but he couldn't figure it out.
"Master, the Saint Soul Stone needs blood to be activated. Before it's activated, it's just like a normal stone," Little Pig said.
Qin Fen's eyes lit up, and he immediately took out the Bloodthirst Blade and made a cut on his index finger.
Blood flowed and dripped onto the jet-black stone. This ordinary stone suddenly changed. The surface of the stone seemed to breathe, and it instantly absorbed all of Qin Feng's blood. In the blink of an eye, the surface of the stone returned to its original state, as if it had never been stained with blood.
Buzz!
A strange energy wave spread out from the stone, causing the Emerald Spirit Ring to shake violently.
At a speed visible to the naked eye, the jet-black stone began to shed its skin. The black outer layer completely fell off, and the inside shone with a golden light, as if it was a lump of gold.
— Saint Soul Stone
After dripping a drop of blood into it, it could merge with the Blood Kaiser's consciousness. It was a great material for crafting high-grade divine weapons!
After the jet-black stone completely transformed into a golden stone, the Emerald Spirit Ring identified the nature of the stone. It turned out to be a Saint Soul Stone!
Qin Fen was extremely excited. He had opened the limited edition interface of the system a few months ago. In order to craft the Cosmic Flying Sword, he had collected materials for half a year. Now that he had collected all the materials, Qin Fen couldn't wait to craft the Cosmic Flying Sword!
"Master, you don't have enough spirit stones now. I suggest you get more just in case!"
Crafting a spiritual weapon required spirit stones, especially an immortal weapon like the Cosmic Flying Sword. It required a large amount of spirit stones as the energy source for crafting.
Qin Fen had collected a large amount of spirit stones in the Ghost Mountain Ancient Martial Ruins. However, he had used up a lot of them when he stored the spiritual weapons in the Million Treasure Pavilion, so he didn't have much left.
"The next auction item is an Orange Grade Meteor Hammer. The starting price is twenty million and a White Grade Spiritual Sword."
The auction was in full swing, and the treasures on the highest level of the display racks had already been auctioned off.
There were many good items on this level. There were even Orange Grade Spiritual Weapons. However, most of the Spiritual Weapons were rarely used weapons like the meteor hammer. Only the disciples of sects who specialized in this type of weapon would fight for them …
Qin Fen put away the Saint Soul Stone and returned to the side of the display racks. There were hundreds of spirit stones on the highest level.
The lowest quality of these spirit stones was a Medium Grade Spirit Stone. However, hundreds of spirit stones were auctioned off together. No individual spirit stones would be sold. This was a big deal. The value of hundreds of spirit stones was higher than a Blue Grade Spiritual Weapon …
The Orange Grade Meteor Hammer had already been auctioned off. It was bought by the leader of the Meteor Gang at a high price. The Meteor Gang used the meteor hammer. The leader's weapon was an ordinary weapon that couldn't be shown in public. Now that he had obtained an Orange Grade Meteor Hammer, he was so excited that he almost fainted …
"The next item is a hundred Medium Grade and High Grade spirit stones. These spirit stones have to be bought in one go. They won't be auctioned separately. The starting price is one hundred million and an Orange Grade Spiritual Sword …"
As soon as Ling Daozi finished speaking, a wave of exclamations sounded from the crowd!
The hundred spirit stones were enough to attract the crowd. Moreover, the price of the spirit stones was astonishing. One hundred million and an Orange Grade Spiritual Sword was the starting price. This was the highest starting price of the auction tonight.
However, even though the price was high, the hundred spirit stones were still quite popular!
This was because, for cultivators, spirit stones were like the temptation of delicacies for ordinary people. These cultivators relied on the spirit energy in spirit stones to speed up their cultivation. Moreover, spirit stones were also used in array formations, refining weapons, and concocting pills …
After a short silence, someone in the crowd raised the price. It was Elder Niu of the Flame Sect. "One hundred and ten million and an Orange Grade Spiritual Sword!"
Qin Fen was slightly surprised. He didn't care about the Flame Sect at all. He didn't expect such a small sect to have so much money. Qin Fen felt that he had underestimated the power of the outer martial world!
"One hundred and thirty million and an Orange Grade Spiritual Sword from the outer sect!" As soon as Elder Niu finished speaking, a new voice came from the crowd. The crowd looked over and sighed. It was a bald monk from the Shaolin Temple who was raising the price.
"One hundred and fifty million and an Orange Grade Spiritual Sword from the outer sect!" The Emei Sect also joined the bidding. It seemed that the temptation of one hundred spirit stones was quite great.
There was no fighting in the surroundings, but the smell of gunpowder filled the air. This auction was more brutal than a real fight. The faces of the elders who placed their bids were as dark as the bottom of a pot.
In a short while, the price of one hundred spirit stones had been raised to two hundred million. However, no one had added an orange equipment spirit sword as a bargaining chip. After all, money was just a worldly possession to these martial artists. However, treasures like spirit weapons were also very rare to them.
Currently, the ones still bidding were three of the five Chinese sects. In front of them, the small sects that had previously spoken up had long since shut their mouths. Competing with the five Chinese sects in terms of funds and resources was definitely asking for trouble!
"Three hundred million and two Orange Grade Spiritual Swords …"
Seeing that the Taoist nun from the Emei Sect was about to win this auction, a cold voice came from the crowd. Everyone was startled and looked over.
There was a group of people standing in the northwest corner of the hall. The martial artists around these people consciously gave them some space as if they were afraid of them.
Qin Fen also looked over. This group of people wore green robes and each of them was arrogant and unruly. They were the people from Ice Lake Mountain, one of the Five Hegemons of the inner hidden sects!
No one expected the female elder of Ice Lake Mountain to suddenly bid. This time, the elders of the Emei Sect, Shaolin Temple, and Kunlun Sect lost their confidence. In front of the inner hidden sects, the five sects of China did not dare to act rashly.
Under the crowd's gaze, the female elder of Ice Lake Mountain walked to the display shelf. She was a woman of unknown age. Her green robes fluttered even though there was no wind. Her face was so beautiful that many people stared at her and admired her beauty.
However, they only admired her beauty. No one dared to show a trace of vulgarity or disrespect. This was because most of the people present had heard of this elder of Ice Lake Mountain. Her name was Elder Qianhuan Tong. It was said that she was an old woman in her fifties. However, her fair and supple skin was more delicate than an eighteen year old girl's. Rumor had it that she was a Stage Nine Inner Qi expert!
When Elder Qianhuan Tong arrived, the crowd instantly felt pressured. An invisible aura enveloped the hall, making it hard for everyone to breathe.
"I bid three hundred million and two Orange Grade Spiritual Swords. If anyone still wants to compete with me, I'll keep you company until the end!"
Elder Qianhuan Tong looked around. Her voice was calm, but it was filled with irresistible majesty.
The elders of Shaolin Temple, Emei Sect, and Kunlun Sect immediately gave in. The Emei nun who was about to win the auction lowered her head and did not dare to look at Elder Qianhuan Tong. She could only suppress the anger in her heart.
The hall suddenly became quiet!
Everyone understood that under the pressure of Ice Lake Mountain, no one dared to compete for the one hundred spiritual stones. Moreover, Ice Lake Mountain's bid was absolutely high. Putting aside the three hundred million, just the two Orange Grade Spiritual Swords were enough to suppress everyone.
After the audience fell silent for five seconds, Ling Daozi had already stepped forward and was about to announce the result of the Thousand Illusion Child's bid for 100 spirit stones. However, at this moment, a cold voice rang out. "400 million, plus two orange grade spirit swords …"
Swoosh!
The originally quiet hall suddenly burst into an uproar!
Seeing that Ice Lake Mountain had already won the auction, no one expected that a new competitor would suddenly appear at this time.
Everyone looked over at the source of the voice. They really wanted to see which sect's disciple was so reckless and dared to compete with Elder Qianhuan Tong. Even if he won the auction now, could he really bring the one hundred spiritual stones out of Devil City?
