Treasures that could raise one's cultivation were very useful to both older and younger cultivators.
For older warriors, they had already passed the golden stage of cultivation, and it was difficult for them to increase their cultivation. However, treasures that could increase their cultivation could forcefully increase their cultivation, allowing them to reach a higher level and even break through to the next realm.
For younger cultivators, these treasures were even more useful. The golden stage of cultivation was the most precious stage. During this time, the higher one's cultivation could reach, the better. Treasures that could raise one's cultivation could greatly shorten the cultivation time.
Hence, when the corpse jade was auctioned, many beginner-level Perfected Persons bid, wanting to get their hands on it.
The starting price of 1,000 mid-grade star crystals was quickly raised to 2,000 mid-grade star crystals.
Many beginner-level Perfected Persons could not afford to bid at such a high price. Furthermore, a seventh-grade Spiritual Grade corpse jade could not allow a One-Star or Two-Star Perfected Person to break through to the next level. The price was too high, so it was not worth it.
Hence, when the price reached 2,000 mid-grade star crystals, most people gave up. The hall instantly quieted down.
After a long while, someone bid again. "2,100."
The bidder was from the thirty-sixth VIP room. The seats in the VIP room were not cheap. The Enlightened Masters who could enter the VIP room were usually relatively wealthy and came from relatively good backgrounds. They were either Enlightened Masters from the Nine Superior Sects or Enlightened Masters from One-Star Mid-Tier Sects.
As for the Perfected Persons from One-Star Low-Tier Sects, they basically did not have the financial ability to enter the VIP room.
"2,200!"
"2,300!"
"2,400!"
"2,500!"
When the price reached 2,200, all the Perfected Persons in the hall gave up. However, the Perfected Persons in the VIP rooms started another round of competition.
These people were wealthy and were willing to spend more mid-grade star crystals to raise their cultivation.
However, when the price reached 2,500, even the Perfected Persons in the VIP rooms stopped bidding.
The Perfected Persons who had bid 2,400 immediately gave up. "Since you are willing to spend 2,500 mid-grade star crystals, this corpse jade is yours."
It sounded like the bidders knew each other.
The Daoist Master who bid 2,500 chuckled. "Do I need you to give it to me? If you want it, feel free to bid again."
From their voices, Ye Xing was able to determine their identities. The one who bid 2,400 was the Spirit Snake Sect's She Du, and the one who bid 2,500 was the Golden Sword Sect's Mu Shaoyue.
She Du was a Two-Star Enlightened Master, while Mu Shaoyue was a One-Star Enlightened Master. A Seventh Stage Spirit Grade Corpse Jade was the best for Enlightened Masters at the first and second stage of the Astral Star Realm. Therefore, both of them wanted it.
She Du did not bid again, but Ye Xing began to bid: "2,600!"
Ye Xing couldn't wait to increase his cultivation as quickly as possible. Since the corpse jade could increase one's cultivation, Ye Xing naturally wanted to buy it and study it to see how effective it was.
As for mid-grade star crystals, Ye Xing had plenty. He already had tens of thousands of mid-grade star crystals. After destroying the Sun Moon Sect's stronghold yesterday, Ye Xing had obtained close to 20,000 mid-grade star crystals from the storage rings of the ten Perfected Persons.
Although mid-grade star crystals were very valuable, they were useless for cultivation. If they could not be turned into useful treasures, it would be meaningless no matter how many mid-grade star crystals one had.
Therefore, Ye Xing would rather spend a higher price to buy the corpse jade.
The voice came from VIP room 079. Many cultivators knew that it was Ye Xing who was bidding.
As for Mu Shaoyue, he could tell that it was Ye Xing based on the voice. This made Mu Shaoyue, who was in VIP room 36, frown.
Mu Shaoyue saw Ye Xing as a goal to surpass. He did not want Ye Xing to obtain the corpse jade and increase his cultivation.
Mu Shaoyue immediately said, "2,700!"
Ye Xing was determined to get the corpse jade. He said, "2,800!"
"2,900!"
"3,000!"
"3,100!"
"3,500!"
Ye Xing saw that Mu Shaoyue was not going to give up, so he directly raised the price from 3,100 to 3,500. This made all the cultivators in the auction house speechless.
3,500 mid-grade star crystals for a seventh-grade spirit grade corpse jade was not worth it. This was almost equivalent to an eighth-grade spirit grade corpse jade.
In VIP room 36, Mu Shaoyue coldly snorted. Facing Ye Xing, he could not maintain his calm and tranquil temperament.
"You win!"
Mu Shaoyue said unwillingly. The price had reached 3,500 mid-grade star crystals. Even if Mu Shaoyue could afford it, he was reluctant to part with it.
Mu Shaoyue's star crystals came from the sect. Although he was very outstanding and the sect had given him a lot of resources, he still had a limited amount of middle-grade star crystals. He couldn't possibly go bankrupt for a seventh-grade Spiritual Grade corpse jade.
In the end, this seventh-grade spirit grade corpse jade was sold to Ye Xing for 3,500 mid-grade star crystals.
The corpse jade was quickly delivered to Ye Xing, and Ye Xing paid 3,500 mid-grade star crystals.
The following auctions did not attract Ye Xing's interest. Ye Xing took the corpse jade and began to study it.
Through the super brain's scan, Ye Xing discovered that the corpse jade contained an extremely pure and surging power of the stars. It could rapidly increase a cultivator's cultivation.
However, Ye Xing also discovered that the corpse jade contained a small amount of death energy.
Although there was very little death energy, if an Enlightened Master absorbed all the energy in the corpse jade, it would definitely cause damage to their body.
If a cultivator absorbed several corpse jades in a row, then the amount of death energy would stack up and the damage would be great. A cultivator would lose a great deal of their life essence and their lifespan.
Therefore, although the corpse jade was good, it was not a treasure that could be continuously absorbed unless one could refine the death energy in the corpse jade.
Otherwise, it would take a long time to absorb a corpse jade and let the life energy in the body slowly adjust to the death energy. Only then could one absorb the next corpse jade.
The death energy in the corpse jade was intertwined with the star energy. It was not easy to refine it directly.
Firstly, one needed to have the ability to refine the death energy. Secondly, one needed strong control to ensure that the star energy in the corpse jade would not be lost when refining the death energy.
It was very difficult to achieve these two points. Even a high-level Astral Realm Enlightened Master could not do it.
Therefore, cultivators would absorb the corpse jade directly and let the life energy in the body slowly adjust it. The higher the grade of the corpse jade, the stronger the star energy and the more death energy, and the longer it would take to adjust it.
However, Ye Xing held the corpse jade and observed it for a while. The corner of his mouth curled up.
The problem of refining the death energy was difficult for the Enlightened Masters of the True Xuan Domain, but it was not difficult for Ye Xing.
He had the star fire seed, and the star fire that burned was of high quality. It could refine the death energy.
Moreover, Ye Xing had the super brain's scan, so he could clearly see the location of the death energy in the corpse jade.
Ye Xing could fulfill both conditions.
