The youth addressed as Senior Brother Mu was the top expert of the Night Spirit Palace, Mu Chengxue. He revealed a casual smile on his handsome face. He said, "Superior Grade Spirit Stones are indeed precious. However, the price is already too high. There is no need to make a move. Furthermore, to me, it is something that is not essential. If I have it, it would be the icing on the cake. If not, it would not matter. "
The other disciples did not understand Mu Chengxue's words. Only Mu Yanxue understood what he meant.
Superior Grade Spirit Stones were very useful to cultivators with low talent. For example, Ge Yuntian. Although he had advanced to Martial King, he was not talented enough. He was stuck at Inferior Grade Martial King for ten years.
However, to a genius like Mu Chengxue, such a huge bottleneck could not happen to him.
With Mu Chengxue's talent, he would only encounter such a huge bottleneck after he became a peak Superior Grade Martial King. Hence, this Superior Grade Spirit Stone would only be the icing on the cake for him.
Inside the booth, Xiao Chen thought for a while. In the end, he decided to give up. His reason was the same as Mu Chengxue's.
The price of eighty thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones was already too high. It was not worth it to buy it.
Furthermore, he still had the Golden Lion King's Spirit Core in his Universe Ring. The Golden Lion King had the bloodline of an ancient mutated beast. Its Spirit Core was no weaker than a Superior Grade Spirit Stone.
In the future, if he met with a bottleneck, he could use the Golden Lion King's Spirit Core to replace it.
"One hundred thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones, I want it!"
Just as the auctioneer was about to close the deal, another bid resounded in the hall. Furthermore, it was twenty thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones in one go.
The auctioneer revealed an excited expression. He said excitedly, "Booth 20, someone bid one hundred thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones. Is there a higher bid? This is a Superior Grade Spirit Stone. It can raise a Martial King by one grade. Friend in booth 8, do you still want to raise the bid? "
"Bang!"
Ge Yuntian smashed the teacup on the table with his palm. The teacup immediately shattered into powder. The indifferent expression on his face completely disappeared. He became very ferocious and revealed a murderous intent.
Ge Yunfei said, "Big Brother, I still have one hundred and fifty thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones here. Let's see if he still dares to raise the bid."
A cruel smile appeared on Ge Yuntian's face as he said, "There's no need. I want to see who dares to compete with me. I will make him spit it out with interest."
Ge Yunfei reacted and a smile appeared on his face. He had almost forgotten what he was doing. After the auction, he could just snatch it back.
When Xiao Chen heard the bid of one hundred thousand silver taels, he was mildly astonished. This was obviously not the true value of a Superior Grade Spirit Stone. It was too much of a loss.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Xuan's Spiritual Sense shot toward booth 20 like an arrow. A moment later, he saw the owner of booth 20.
"Chu Chaoyun?" Xiao Chen said doubtfully, "What does he want this Superior Grade Spirit Stone for? With his talent, there is no need for it!"
Chu Chaoyun, who was in the private room, frowned slightly. It was like he could feel someone spying on him. He said to the girl beside him, "Go out and check who is in private room 8. I can sense two intense killing intents."
Xiao Chen quickly withdrew his Spiritual Sense. He thought that Chu Chaoyun had sensed his Spiritual Sense. It turned out that it was someone else.
In the end, no one made a bid for the Superior Grade Spirit Stone. Chu Chaoyun won it at the exorbitant price of one hundred thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones. The auction continued.
The second item was not as dazzling. It was only an Inferior Grade Earth Ranked Spirit Weapon. The starting bid was one thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones.
In the end, it was won by a cultivator from a small sect for five thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones.
Aside from the Superior Grade Spirit Stone at the start, the other items in the first round were very precious. However, Xiao Chen was not interested in them.
On the other hand, Liu Suifeng spent ten thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones to bid for a Superior Grade Earth Ranked Martial Technique. That Martial Technique was pretty good; it was considered a good item among Superior Grade Earth Ranked Martial Techniques.
Soon, the first round of the auction was about to end. At the final moment, the auctioneer's voice was clearly much more excited.
Suddenly, two cultivators went up to the auction platform. The auctioneer explained, "Everyone should be able to guess what the final item is. We have decided to use the most thorough method to display this Secret Treasure to everyone."
Of the two cultivators, one had a very high cultivation; he was as strong as a peak Superior Grade Martial Disciple. The other was only an ordinary Martial Grand Master.
The auctioneer nodded to the two of them. The peak Martial Saint started to store up energy. His aura slowly gathered. The nearby cultivators could feel the pressure.
When his aura reached its peak, the peak Martial Saint roared ferociously and punched at the Martial Grand Master in front of him.
"Boom!"
Before everyone's astonished gazes, a light barrier suddenly appeared on the Martial Grand Master's body.
When the peak Martial Saint's full powered strike struck the light barrier, it gave off a muffled sound. There were ripples on the light barrier, but it did not show any signs of breaking.
On the contrary, the peak Martial Saint's complexion turned pale from the rebound of the light barrier. He was knocked back a few steps before he slowly stabilized himself.
The Martial Grand Master dispersed the light barrier; he was not injured at all. He removed a jade pendant from his neck and handed it to the auctioneer. After that, he took his leave with the peak Martial Saint.
The auctioneer received the jade pendant and said in a clear and resonant voice, "Earlier, everyone saw it for themselves. This jade pendant allowed the Martial Grand Master to easily block the full powered strike of a peak Martial Saint.
"Furthermore, it is not just a simple block. It can reflect a third of the force back to the enemy. According to the tests of our Linlang Pavilion, this Secret Treasure can block the full powered strike of a peak Medial Grade Martial King at best.
"The only flaw is that it can only be used once a day. Aside from that, there are no other flaws. The auction will begin now. The starting bid is ten thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones. Each bid must be no less than two thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones. "
Linlang Pavilion's reputation had always been very good. Since the other party said that it could block the full powered strike of a peak Medial Grade Martial King, then it must be true.
If that was the case, the use of this jade pendant was rather horrifying. Although it could only be used once a day, it could save one's life at the most crucial moment.
It might even be able to turn the tables. This was because the light barrier could reflect the force of the attack. In a situation where the opponent did not know about it, it was a very good trump card.
Such a Secret Treasure was very useful for cultivators. Everyone would encounter danger; it would increase their chances of survival.
Liu Suifeng smiled and said, "This is a good thing. There are really many of them. If it does not exceed a hundred thousand Spirit Stones, I would want to buy it."
Xiao Chen was very interested in this Secret Treasure as well. If it could block the attack of a peak Medial Grade Martial King, then it would be very useful.
"Twenty thousand!"
"Thirty five thousand!"
"Fifty thousand!"
"Eighty thousand!"
The bidding for this jade pendant was even more intense than for the Superior Grade Spirit Stones. In just a moment, someone called out the price of eighty thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones.
Liu Suifeng muttered to himself, "It looks like people are afraid of death!"
Xiao Chen thought for a while and made his move at this moment. "One hundred thousand!"
Liu Suifeng was somewhat surprised. He said, "Ye Chen, you want to bid for this jade pendant as well? I thought you would not need it."
In his opinion, Xiao Chen's Movement Technique was already very fast. Even if there was an opponent that he could not defeat, he could use his Movement Technique to escape.
Rather than spending a large amount of Spirit Stones to buy a defensive Secret Treasure, he might as well wait a while and buy an offensive Secret Treasure.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, "If possible, I would like to obtain all ten Secret Treasures. Furthermore, this jade pendant happens to be useful recently."
After the price reached one hundred thousand, the entire place fell silent. One hundred thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones was already a horrifying number. If anyone wanted to bid again, they would have to consider it carefully.
"One hundred and fifty thousand!"
Right at this moment, a low and deep voice suddenly resounded, and it instantly raised the price by 50,000. It shocked everyone present in the surroundings.
The auctioneer immediately grabbed the opportunity and said excitedly, "One hundred and fifty thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones! A cultivator wearing black clothes is really generous. Is there a higher bid than one hundred and fifty thousand?"
Xiao Chen was somewhat astonished. He looked through the window and discovered that the person who bid was a peak Martial Saint wearing black clothes and a cloak.
Under the shadow of the cloak, no one could see his appearance clearly. He looked very mysterious.
Xiao Chen thought for a while and continued to bid, "Two hundred thousand!"
The auctioneer's mood was completely uplifted. The higher the bid, the more commission he would receive. He said excitedly, "Booth 18 bids two hundred thousand. This cultivator in black clothes, are you going to continue bidding?"
The cultivator in black clothes muttered to himself for a while and raised his head to look at Xiao Chen's booth. Xiao Chen looked down and saw a pair of green eyes. It was very strange.
The cultivator in black clothes withdrew his gaze and waved his hand to indicate that he had given up.
Two hundred thousand was already a sky-high price. Even cultivators with large sects and clans behind them would find it difficult to take out such a sum.
Finally, the auctioneer called out the hammer three times. Xiao Chen had successfully obtained the first Secret Treasure.
Liu Suifeng said, "Two hundred thousand for a defensive Secret Treasure, is it worth it? Hey, Ye Chen, what's wrong? Are you regretting it? "
Ever since Xiao Chen saw that pair of green eyes, he had not recovered his wits. The shock that those eyes gave him was too great.
It was like a demon had crawled out of hell. It was very strange. He had never seen anyone with green eyes before.
Xiao Chen recovered his wits and said, "Two hundred thousand is worth it. It is the full powered strike of a peak Medial Grade Martial King. Did you forget who targeted us when we arrived? With this jade pendant, I will give that person a pleasant surprise. "
The second round of the auction started. Xiao Chen had already gotten some clues. The first and last items of every round were the most attractive.
Indeed, it was as Xiao Chen had guessed. The auctioneer slowly took out the first item of the second round. He introduced it with a smile on his face, "This is a bottle of Quintessence Gathering Pills. There is a total of twenty of them. Below Martial King, they can increase the chances of advancing by twenty percent. No one in the Great Qin Nation can refine such a pill. Even in the Great Jin Nation, there is a limit to the number. The starting bid is still ten thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones. "
