If he could completely grasp the method of refining Secret Treasures, he would not have to worry about not having enough Spirit Stones to use in the future. Thus, this Secret Treasure was something that Xiao Chen wanted to obtain.
Not long later, Liu Suifeng rushed over. He had an excited expression on his face.
Liu Suifeng said, "Ye Chen, the Yun Clan Head invited us to the auction. Are you going?"
Xiao Chen shook his head, "I have already rejected him. If you want to go, you can go by yourself. I prefer peace and quiet."
Liu Suifeng said, "Never mind, I will go with you."
The two of them stopped talking and walked out of the Yun Residence. After they found out the address of Linlang Pavilion, they immediately headed over.
Along the way, they met many cultivators rushing over. They were all heading in the direction of Linlang Pavilion. There were people from all sorts of sects and places; it was very lively.
The two of them were not slow; they arrived at the entrance of Linlang Pavilion after ten minutes. However, they discovered that there were many cultivators gathered at the entrance. However, they were all blocked by the guards.
After asking around, they found out that the requirements for this auction were very high. Those without a Martial Saint cultivation or an invitation card were not allowed to enter.
This way, a large group of Martial Grand Masters were blocked at the entrance. There were many of these cultivators, and they all had dissatisfied expressions on their faces. However, they did not dare to act recklessly.
Liu Suifeng said in a soft voice, "Fortunately, I am already an Inferior Grade Martial Saint. Otherwise, I would not even have the qualifications to enter. This standard is very high."
It was necessary for the requirements to be high. The space in Linlang Pavilion was fixed. If so many people were allowed in, the seats would not be high. Then, the auction would not be able to continue.
The two of them parted the crowd and walked towards the entrance. The guards at the entrance took a look at their cultivation and let them in; they did not stop them.
"Please purchase your tickets first." Just as the two of them stepped through the entrance, they saw a simple counter at the side. A pretty girl behind the counter spoke to them.
Liu Suifeng was about to step forward and ask when Xiao Chen stopped him. He took out the VIP card that Yun Youji had given him.
The woman took the VIP card and glanced at it. She immediately smiled and said, "So the two of you have a VIP card. In that case, there is no need to buy a ticket. You can go directly to the second floor and find the room number."
Xiao Chen took back the VIP card and walked to the second floor of the auction house with Liu Suifeng. The auction house had an arched structure.
At a glance, the seats in the hall were almost all occupied. It was bustling with activity and people were surging about.
Xiao Chen found a manservant. Under the manservant's guidance, he quickly found his private room.
The space in the private room was very spacious. The window was wide open, and one could clearly see everything in the hall from the inside. The field of vision was very wide.
Liu Suifeng felt it was strange and asked, "I did not expect there to be a private room. That's right, when did you get your VIP card? Don't tell me this Linlang Pavilion was opened by that damn Fatso."
Xiao Chen sat comfortably on the round wooden chair. He took a sip of tea and said, "Of course not. The VIP card was sent by Yun Youji this morning."
Liu Suifeng said unconvinced, "How depressing, why didn't that fellow give me one?"
Xiao Chen smiled faintly, "If you sold him a Heaven Ranked Spirit Weapon, he would have given you one. Let's not talk about it anymore. The auctioneer is coming."
Liu Suifeng stopped asking and looked through the window. Indeed, he saw the auctioneer walking out with a smile on his face.
With the appearance of the auctioneer, the chatter in the hall gradually died down. When the noise completely quieted down,
When everything quietened down, the auctioneer's loud and clear voice rang out in everyone's ears, "Thank you, everyone, for participating in our Linlang Pavilion's once-a-decade large-scale auction. I will make a long story short, after a simple introduction of the auction, we will begin immediately. We will not waste everyone's time. "
"This auction will be divided into ten rounds. The things auctioned will be more precious with each round. It is as everyone guessed."
After the auctioneer said this, he paused for a while before raising his voice, "In every round, we will auction a complete Secret Treasure. That's right, a complete, undamaged ancient Secret Treasure that can be used immediately after the auction!"
Just as the auctioneer's passionate voice fell, the quiet hall was immediately filled with the sounds of discussions. The hall became noisy once again.
"It is really a complete Secret Treasure, a total of ten complete Secret Treasures. Linlang Pavilion is really generous!"
"I heard long ago that the gates to the Demon Battlefield reopened. Looks like after this auction, there will be even more cultivators going there to try their luck."
"Ha ha, without the cultivation of a Martial King, if you want to go to the Demon Battlefield, aside from seeking death, there is no other result."
"Even a Martial King might not be safe and sound there. This time, I heard that many famous Martial Kings have died there."
Demon Battlefield, this was the second time Xiao Chen heard of this term. Xiao Chen thought to himself, What kind of place is that? Why would there be Secret Treasures there?
If I have time in the future, I can go there and join in the excitement.
The auctioneer looked at the hall and was very satisfied with the effect of the discussion. After the voices gradually became weaker, the auctioneer looked at the hall and was very satisfied.
After the voices slowly weakened, a clear and resonant voice rang out once again, "The rules of the auction will not change. Everyone knows this, so I will not say it. There is only one change.
"All transactions can only be completed with Spirit Stones. A Medial Grade Spirit Stone can be exchanged for a hundred Inferior Grade Spirit Stones. Now, the auction officially begins.
"The first auction item will now be revealed. It is a Superior Grade Spirit Stone. The starting bid is ten thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones. The auction will now begin."
The first item to be auctioned was actually a Superior Grade Spirit Stone. Not only was Xiao Chen in his booth surprised, but everyone in the hall was also shocked.
A Superior Grade Spirit Stone was equivalent to a hundred Medial Grade Spirit Stones, which was a hundred thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones. However, everyone knew that this was not how the price was calculated.
Just like how no one would be foolish enough to exchange a Medial Grade Spirit Stone for a Inferior Grade Spirit Stone for no reason, no one would use a Superior Grade Spirit Stone to exchange for a Inferior Grade Spirit Stone.
The value of a Superior Grade Spirit Stone was no longer as simple as a Spirit Stone. It could be considered a natural treasure. The Spiritual Energy contained in it was not only incredibly pure, but it was also large and gentle.
A cultivator of any cultivation realm could use it. For cultivators below Martial Saint, it could even raise their cultivation by an entire realm.
However, no one would use a Superior Grade Spirit Stone when they were below Martial Saint. That would be a waste of a treasure.
Only when one was a Martial King or Martial Monarch would they be able to completely absorb the energy in the Superior Grade Spirit Stone without wasting anything.
With the density of Spiritual Energy in the Great Qin Nation, the few Spirit Veins might not even produce a single Superior Grade Spirit Stone within ten years. This showed how rare Superior Grade Spirit Stones were.
When Xiao Chen saw the Superior Grade Spirit Stone glowing with a spiritual light, he could not help but be tempted.
A Superior Grade Spirit Stone was something that could only be found and not sought. It had a fatal attraction to almost all cultivators.
Liu Suifeng shook his head and sighed, "Ai, a large-scale auction is really different. This is only the first auction item, and I can't help but want to buy it."
Perhaps it was because the Superior Grade Spirit Stone was too shocking to the crowd, there was a momentary silence. No one immediately called out a bid.
"Twenty thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones!"
"Twenty thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones! I bid thirty thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones!"
"Fifty thousand!"
However, after that, there was a continuous stream of bids in the hall. Every time, the price increased by ten thousand. Soon, the price of the Superior Grade Spirit Stone reached fifty thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones.
After the price passed fifty thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones, the number of bids decreased. After all, although a Superior Grade Spirit Stone was good, there was a limit to its value.
A Martial Saint would only be able to obtain ten thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones in a year through all sorts of missions and hard work. If they did not have any fortuitous encounters, they would only be able to obtain ten thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones at most.
That would be considered doing well. If they did not do well, they would be lucky to have five thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones.
Even so, fifty thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones would require five years to accumulate. If they only used one Superior Grade Spirit Stone, the gains would not make up for the losses.
After all, a Superior Grade Spirit Stone could only be used after one became a Martial King. Not being able to use it after buying it was a problem.
"Sixty thousand!"
"Seventy thousand!"
"Seventy-five thousand!"
"Eighty thousand!"
After the hall was silent for a while, there were bids again. At this moment, the ones bidding were all Martial Kings and cultivators with strong clans and sects backing them.
The auctioneer revealed a joyful expression. He originally thought that the bid would only reach fifty thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones. He did not expect it to reach eighty thousand.
"Eighty thousand going once! Eighty thousand going twice! Is there anyone who bids higher than eighty thousand? If there is none, this Superior Grade Spirit Stone will belong to the person in booth 8."
In booth 8 on the second floor, there were two old men watching the auction below with indifferent expressions. These two old men were famous solitary Martial Kings in the Xihe Province.
However, if one looked carefully at their eyes, they would discover that under their indifferent expressions, there was a hidden evil intent; they were incomparably ferocious.
If the people below saw their appearances, they would definitely be able to recognize their names. One of them was Ge Yuntian and the other was Ge Yunfei.
These two were blood-related brothers. They had a famous nickname in the Xihe Province. They were known as the Xihe Twin Demons. They were very ruthless in their actions. Killing others for their treasures was a common occurrence.
Ge Yunfei smiled and said, "Big Brother, it looks like this Superior Grade Spirit Stone belongs to you."
Ge Yuntian smiled faintly and said, "I have been stuck at early-stage Inferior Grade Martial King for ten years already. With this Superior Grade Spirit Stone, I will definitely be able to reach peak Inferior Grade Martial King."
One should not underestimate the difference between early-stage Inferior Grade Martial King and peak Inferior Grade Martial King. After Martial Saint, it was very difficult to advance by a grade. However, with every increase in grade, one's strength would increase significantly.
When one became a Martial King, this situation would be even more obvious. Some cultivators with insufficient talent would be stuck at early-stage Inferior Grade Martial King for their entire lives.
If one did not have enough talent and wanted to advance further, they could only think of other methods. This Superior Grade Spirit Stone was one such method.
In booth 9, beside booth 8, a group of Night Spirit Palace disciples sat together. One of them said, "Senior Brother Mu, are you not going to bid for this Superior Grade Spirit Stone?"
