(Author's Note: When I saw the messages from my cute brothers and sisters asking for more chapters, I was very touched by everyone's support. I also want to write more chapters. But here's the situation: My body hasn't been doing well recently, so I need to take some Chinese medicine to recuperate. My writing speed is average, and I can only write two to three chapters a day. After the first round of outbursts, I need to squeeze in more time to save up more chapters before writing another round of outbursts. I promise that the second round of outbursts will also be released within this month, and the number of outbursts won't be less than the first round.
In the exercise room, Chen Zong took the last Qi Flame Tempering Pill.
The hot air flowed through Chen Zong's body like fire. It burned everywhere, as if it was going to melt his bones and turn them into ashes.
Chen Zong's face was as cold as iron in the deep sea. His eyes didn't change at all. He was used to the burning of the hot air.
Under the burning of the horrible hot air, the impurities in his bones were burned away little by little. His hard bones became more and more powerful under the burning of the hot air.
Looking inside, Chen Zong found that his bones were red and emitted an amazing heat.
After a while, the red color receded and the high temperature disappeared. His bones trembled slightly. There seemed to be a flash of golden light on the surface, and then it disappeared like an illusion.
His breath was like a strong arrow shooting at the wall, making a roaring sound and whistling sound.
So far, 20 Tiger Dragon Body Tempering Pills and 10 Qi Flame Tempering Pills had been refined. The effect was very obvious. Chen Zong felt that his strength had been improved significantly.
He clenched his fist in the void, and suddenly there was a crisp and ear-piercing explosion, as if he could crush a mountain with one claw.
"Thirty thousand jin!" Chen Zong murmured with a trace of joy.
His arm strength had increased from twenty thousand jin to thirty thousand jin. Chen Zong was confident that he could compete with an ordinary Lv 1 warrior of the Genuine Martial Realm with only his body strength. If he could get a suitable body refining martial art, he could make full use of the advantages of his body strength. It would be no problem for him to compete with an ordinary warrior of the early stage of the Genuine Martial Realm.
In Chen Zong's opinion, it was a good deal to improve his physique from 20,000 jin to 30,000 jin with more than 10,000 spirit shells. However, it was a pity that the effect of the Tiger Dragon Body-strengthening Elixir was almost negligible. Even if he took another 100 pills, it would be difficult to have an obvious tempering effect on his physique.
Right now, only the Qi Flame Body Tempering Pill could take effect.
"However, if I want to completely master the second level of the Mysterious Golden Jade Bone Technique, I'm afraid I'll need to spend a lot of spirit shells, at least tens of thousands of spirit shells," Chen Zong thought to himself.
Before this, ten thousand Spirit Shells was a luxury for him. He simply couldn't take it out. This was also the case for the vast majority of True Martial Realm warriors. Even if there were many late stage True Martial Realm warriors, they might not be able to take out ten thousand Spirit Shells at once.
Of course, it was not so difficult for those warriors who had the backing of big forces and were not bad to have the support of big forces. For example, Chen Zong was given ten thousand Spirit Shells at once by the Zongzheng Swordsmanship Sect.
However, it was obvious that ten thousand Spirit Shells were not enough. It was not enough at all. No wonder the Body Refining Lineage gradually declined and was eventually replaced by the Qi Refining Lineage. It was because Qi Refining Lineage was easier. Although the value of Qi Refining Lineage was similar to that of Body Refining Lineage, there was no need to take so many.
"However, I have the Spiritual Source." Chen Zong thought to himself. This was the biggest source of his confidence. If he was really short of Spirit Shells and had nowhere to get them, he could sell a few pieces of Spiritual Source.
"Once I master the second level of the Mysterious Golden Jade Bone Technique, my physique will be improved comprehensively. My arm strength will reach 50,000 jin. Now I've only reached 30,000 jin." Chen Zong thought to himself. It was not enough. It was still far from enough.
"It's been five days. The auction of the Dayu Trading Firm is about to start."
Chen Zong thought to himself. He left the practice room and went to the Dayu Trading Firm.
Coincidentally, there were people coming to the Dayu Trading Firm from time to time. They were people who were going to attend the auction.
Chen Zong was stopped when he was about to enter the Dayu Trading Firm.
"Please show me your invitation," the person who stopped him said indifferently.
To attend the auction, one must have enough financial resources. Otherwise, the Dayu Trading Firm would not let him in. To put it bluntly, they did not welcome onlookers.
Therefore, there was the invitation letter. The invitation letter was sent out by the Dayu Trading Firm. Whoever could get it would depend on the person's means and ability.
Chen Zong did not have an invitation letter. However, Chen Zong had the Iron Feather Token.
"Iron Feather Token!" The person was shocked. He immediately squeezed out a smile and said, "It turns out to be a distinguished guest of our trading firm. Please come in."
He immediately arranged for a waitress to lead the way.
The auction was not held in the shop of the Dayu Trading Firm. The area was too small. Instead, they walked inside. After passing through the long corridor with carved feathers, they entered the real auction site.
The auction site was circular and very large. It could easily accommodate thousands of people without being crowded. In front of them was a high platform, which was the auction platform used for the auction.
The auction site had a total of three floors.
However, the second and third floors were not complete. They were only attached to the surrounding walls and extended out. The middle part was empty. Only then could one see the auction platform and the auction items.
Under the guidance of the waitress, Chen Zong walked to a side room on the second floor.
The side room was not big, but it was more than enough to accommodate one person. Fresh fruits and fragrant tea were a kind of enjoyment just by smelling them.
Whether it was the fruits or the tea, they were not ordinary things. They were planted and cultivated in places with rich Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. For ordinary people, eating them could strengthen their bodies and prolong their lives. For martial artists in the Qi and Blood Realm, they were also quite beneficial. Although they were not beneficial for martial artists in the True Martial Realm, they had an excellent taste.
"Distinguished guest, if you need anything, you can call me. I'll be right outside." The female attendant was a little shy as she used a soft voice to speak to Chen Zong, causing his imagination to run wild. Soon after, she turned around and gracefully walked out of the room.
The waitress's words made Chen Zong slightly startled. He immediately shook his head and smiled bitterly. The temptation of beauty, this Great Feather Trading Company was indeed very generous.
However, Chen Zong, who had not done this before, did not know what it felt like. Coupled with his strong will, he naturally would not be tempted. Not to mention that the waitress was indeed beautiful, but it was not enough to attract him.
More and more people entered the auction site. Most of them sat down on the seats on the first floor while a small number entered the side rooms.
There were not many people who could obtain the Great Feather Trading Company's Iron Feather Token. After all, there were very few people who could trade ten thousand Spirit Shells at once. As for the higher level Profound Feather Token, there were even fewer because it required one to trade one hundred thousand Spirit Shells at once.
One hundred thousand Spirit Shells was not a transaction amount that a martial artist in the True Martial Realm could achieve. One had to be at least in the Transcendent Realm.
Chen Zong could vaguely feel that there were some more auras on the third floor. It was like a dragon among men who had reached the extreme. It was a Transcendent Realm master.
Not long after, an old man appeared on the auction stage and lightly coughed, causing everyone to quiet down. Everyone knew that the auction was about to begin.
Chen Zong could feel a deep and tyrannical aura from the grey-robed old man, but it did not give off any kind of lofty aura. Obviously, he had not yet reached the Transcendent Realm, but among the pseudo-Transcendent Realm masters, he was one of the strongest.
Allowing a powerful pseudo-Transcendent Realm master to preside over this auction was enough to show Great Feather Trading Company's wealth. As for letting a Transcendent host an auction, that was simply unimaginable. Which Transcendent Realm master was not an overlord? How could they become an auctioneer? Unless the standard of the auction was extremely high, so high that everyone participating in the auction was a true Transcendent.
"Welcome to Great Feather Trading Company's auction. This auction will have a total of one hundred and ninety-three items. I hope everyone can bid on them as they wish." The auctioneer smiled, his voice echoing throughout the audience. Immediately after, the auctioneer announced the rules for everyone to hear clearly.
Soon, the first auction item was presented.
Auctions often started with a low value and gradually increased in value.
"Please take a look, this is a piece of ore called Heavenly Sound Gold Essence." The auctioneer picked up the first item. It was a piece of golden metal about the size of a fist. Its surface was covered with greyish-white impurities. The auctioneer gently tapped the metal with his finger, causing it to vibrate and emit a pleasant sound like music.
"Take a small piece of Heavenly Sound Gold Essence and integrate it into a weapon. It will make the weapon more durable and will be able to vibrate the Heavenly Sound to disturb the opponent." The auctioneer said, "The starting price is three hundred spirit shells. Each increase must be no less than ten spirit shells. The auction begins."
"Three hundred and fifty spirit shells!"
All of a sudden, someone directly increased the price by fifty spirit shells, obviously wanting to win this piece of Heavenly Sound Gold in one fell swoop. If it could be won at three hundred and fifty spirit shells, it would be a good deal.
Unfortunately, there were many people with discerning eyes and someone else bid for it.
This fist-sized piece of Heavenly Sound Gold Essence was enough to be used several times. Once it was integrated into a pseudo-Spirit Artifact, it could greatly increase its power.
In the end, this piece of Heavenly Sound Gold Essence was sold for five hundred spirit shells.
The second auction item was presented and was sold for five hundred and thirty spirit shells.
One after another, the auction items gradually heated up the atmosphere of the auction. Soon, more than a dozen auction items were sold. However, most of the bids were made by the bidders on the first floor. The bidders on the second floor had yet to make a move, not to mention the bidders on the third floor.
These auction items were indeed good, but they were of no use to Chen Zong. Naturally, he would not waste his money. His original purpose of participating in the auction was to get the treasure that Deacon Yang had mentioned that was useful for Body Refining. However, it had not appeared yet.
The sixty-eighth auction item was presented. It was a jade booklet that emitted a faint purple brilliance.
"This jade booklet records a Heaven Level Supreme-Grade cultivation method, but the last part is missing," the auctioneer said. When the crowd heard that it was a Heaven Level Supreme-Grade cultivation method, they were ecstatic at first, but when they heard the last part, they all felt pity.
At present, in the entire Tian Jiang Mansion, there were very few forces that had a complete Heaven Level Supreme-Grade cultivation method. The four great Sect and the Tian Jiang Mansion Lord only had incomplete Heaven Level Supreme-Grade cultivation methods, which showed how precious they were.
Thinking about it, if it was a complete Heaven Level Supreme-Grade cultivation method, none of them would have a chance. Those Transcendents might even bid for it. After all, any Heaven Level Supreme-Grade cultivation method was very precious.
However, even if it was only an incomplete Heaven Level Supreme-Grade cultivation method, it was still better than a Heaven Level Top-Grade cultivation method. It aroused great enthusiasm in the crowd and many people bid for it.
Even the people in the VIP rooms on the second floor bid for it. However, Chen Zong did not bid. As the Sword Son of the Unhindered Sword Sect, he did not care about an incomplete Heaven Level Supreme-Grade cultivation method. After all, he cultivated the Unhindered Sword Sect, which was a tyrannical Heaven Level Supreme-Grade cultivation method. Moreover, even if he wanted an incomplete Heaven Level Supreme-Grade cultivation method, there were several in the Unhindered Sword Sect.
However, Chen Zong also witnessed the charm of an incomplete Heaven Level Supreme-Grade cultivation method. The price rose steadily and soon exceeded five thousand spirit shells.
