(Second Update)
"Eleven thousand!"
A loud and clear voice resounded throughout the hall, opening the curtains for the auction of the Earth Flame Body Burning Stone.
"Twelve thousand!"
"Thirteen thousand!"
One after another, bids rang out. Soon, the price of the Earth Flame Body Burning Stone soared to fifteen thousand spirit shells.
The auctioneer was full of smiles.
"Twenty thousand spirit shells. I want to give this item to my elder brother. Everyone, please give me some face." Gu Yaoyang's voice rang out. That one sentence immediately silenced all the bidders.
Elder brother!
Who was that?
Zhengyangzi Gu Zhiyang, one of the Five Great Prodigies. He was a super genius who had reached Lv 9 of the True Martial Realm before the age of thirty. He had unlimited potential and was expected to inherit the True Yang Sect as the Sect Leader. This kind of person could not be offended.
Hearing Gu Yaoyang's words, the smile on the auctioneer's face immediately disappeared. Among the few types of people that the auction house disliked the most, people like Gu Yaoyang were one of them. They relied on their status and background to stop others from bidding. Unknowingly, they would lower the price of the auction house, which was equivalent to harming the interests of the auction house.
Cutting off one's path to wealth was like killing one's parents. This was enmity.
"Young Master Gu, if you do this again, this auction house will no longer welcome you." The auctioneer spoke with a bit of coldness.
Gu Zhiyang was very powerful and talented, but compared to him, there was still a huge gap. Moreover, he was a high-ranking member of the Dayu Trading Company and was not afraid of Gu Zhiyang. If there was a conflict, the Dayu Trading Company would announce that they were supporting the other three Sect. This was not something that the True Yang Sect wanted to see.
"Damn it!" Gu Yaoyang's face suddenly changed. His eyes seemed to be burning with anger, as if he wanted to burn the auctioneer to ashes.
"Twenty-one thousand!" Someone else bid. The auctioneer's tough attitude undoubtedly made everyone very satisfied.
This was an auction, not a show of status and backing. Wasn't it good to have money to bid and obediently shut up if you didn't have money?
"Twenty-two thousand!"
"Twenty-three thousand!"
Without the threat of Gu Yaoyang, the bidding became heated again. The price kept rising and soon reached thirty thousand spirit shells.
Thirty thousand spirit shells was already a very high price. For a moment, the bidders all fell silent and considered whether to continue bidding.
"31,000." Chen Zong quoted a price. He was determined to get the Earth Flame Burning Body Stone. It would allow him to cultivate the Golden Jade Bone Technique better. Perhaps the spiritual source was very important, but to him now, it could only be used as a collection. He might as well take out a small part of it and use it in exchange for things that would be helpful to his cultivation.
"Thirty-two thousand!" A Pseudo Transcendent Realm master with a Fire Attribute Secret Art grit his teeth, this was the sum of his many years of savings.
"33,000!" Chen Zong made another bid, his tone firm.
Everyone else fell silent.
"Fine, I'll let you have it first. When the time comes, I want you to spit out the Heaven Level Body Refining Martial Skill as well." Gu Yaoyang said to himself as his eyes shone with a vicious light.
Murdering others for their treasures wasn't a rare occurrence. Of course, it was fine as long as they didn't make it too obvious.
After winning the bid for the Heaven Class Body Refining Martial Art and the Earth Flame Body Burning Stone, which was useful for Body Refining, Chen Zong heaved a sigh of relief and smiled.
The next auction item was presented. It was very valuable, but Chen Zong wasn't interested at all, because it didn't suit him.
Soon, the one hundred and ninety-first auction item was presented.
It was a sword, a long sword. The body of the sword was almost transparent, but the spine of the sword was blood-red. It was a ghastly sight, as if it was flowing like blood. The entire sword exuded an astonishing aura, as if it was high and mighty.
"That's …"
"Could it be …"
Many people's eyes widened. At first, they were startled, but then they suddenly understood and revealed looks of shock.
"Yes, this sword is a Spirit Artifact." The auctioneer's resolute voice confirmed everyone's guess. At the same time, a tyrannical aura began to fill the air from the third floor.
It was just an unconscious aura, but it was like an invisible storm was sweeping through the air, making everyone feel extremely depressed, so uncomfortable that they almost vomited blood.
The aura of a Transcendent Realm master!
A Spirit Artifact could only be displayed by a Transcendent Realm master, and this was also an auction for Transcendent Realm masters.
"This sword is called Blood Light Thread." The auctioneer's voice was dignified, "This is a Low-Rank Spirit Artifact. When the sword is drawn, it must be stained with blood. If struck, one's vitality will be weakened, but it can also increase the attack power and attack speed of an Extreme Mortal Realm master by ten percent."
An Extreme Mortal Realm master was extremely powerful. If their attack power was increased by ten percent, they would become even more terrifying. If their attack speed was increased by ten percent, it meant that the sword's speed would become even faster. If both speed and attack power were increased by ten percent, the increase in power would be even greater.
A Pseudo Spirit Artifact needed to be activated. Normally, it didn't possess any special power, but as long as a Spirit Artifact's power was refined, it would always be there.
Of course, for a Transcendent Realm master, the power of a Pseudo Spirit Artifact could be constantly activated, but it would be useless. The difference in strength was obvious. For a Transcendent Realm master, a Spirit Artifact was truly useful.
Unfortunately, not all Transcendent Realm masters could possess a Spirit Artifact. After all, a Spirit Artifact's value was very high.
The reason why these Transcendent Realm masters had come here to participate in this auction was because they had their eyes on the last few Spirit Artifacts.
"The starting price is one hundred Low-Rank Spirit Sources. Each bid must increase by no less than ten Spirit Sources. The auction begins." The auctioneer called out a different name from the Spirit Shells.
Spirit Sources!
The value of a Spirit Artifact could no longer be described in terms of Spirit Shells. After all, even if a Low-Rank Spirit Source was worth ten thousand Spirit Shells in the market, very few people were willing to exchange their Spirit Sources for Spirit Shells.
Spirit Sources were beneficial to a Transcendent Realm master's cultivation, but Spirit Shells were not.
"One hundred and twenty Spirit Sources." Someone immediately bid.
"One hundred and fifty Spirit Sources!" The price soared, equivalent to one million and five hundred thousand Spirit Shells. The people on the first floor were all dumbfounded.
The previous auctions were all small fries, at most a few tens of thousands of Spirit Shells. Now that this Spirit Artifact had appeared, its value had soared to more than one million Spirit Sources. The gap was simply too big.
"One hundred and sixty Spirit Sources!"
"One hundred and eighty Spirit Sources!"
"Two hundred Spirit Sources! This sword, I must obtain it!"
The value of the Single Line Blood Light Sword soared and soon exceeded three hundred Spirit Sources.
In the end, it was sold for three hundred and thirty Spirit Sources.
"The price of a Low-Rank Spirit Artifact is already so high, I wonder how high the price of a Mid-Rank Spirit Artifact will be." Chen Zong couldn't help but think.
Three hundred Spirit Sources, this was a wealth that many Extreme Mortal Realm masters did not possess.
In the Unhindered Sword Sect, only the Sect Leader, the Sect Leader, and the Great Elder possessed Spirit Artifacts. As for the Second Elder, Third Elder, and Fourth Elder, they only used Third-Order Pseudo Spirit Artifacts.
The one hundred and ninety-second auction item was presented. It was a pair of silver-white metal gloves. The five fingers were covered with barbs and the tips of the fingers were sharp. It looked very ferocious, like the hands of a demon. It also exuded a shocking aura.
This was another Spirit Artifact.
"This pair of gloves is a Low-Rank Spirit Artifact. It is called the Silver Star Bone Crusher and contains a powerful Spirit Force. If hit, the user's bones will be damaged. It can increase the attack power of an Extreme Mortal Realm master by twenty percent." The auctioneer introduced with a serious face.
"Twenty percent attack power!" The crowd exclaimed. An Extreme Mortal Realm master's attack power being increased by twenty percent was undoubtedly very impressive and terrifying.
It could be said that if two Extreme Mortal Realm masters of the same level had one Silver Star Bone Crusher and the other did not, the result would be that the one who did not have the Silver Star Bone Crusher would be killed.
The difference of twenty percent was very obvious.
"The starting price is one hundred Spirit Sources. Each increase must be no less than ten Spirit Sources. The auction begins."
Immediately, someone started to bid. The price rose rapidly and soon broke through three hundred Spirit Sources.
Not all Spirit Artifacts were suitable for all Extreme Mortal Realm warriors. For example, Extreme Mortal Realm warriors who practiced the sword would not be suitable for any other Spirit Artifacts other than swords.
The Dayu Trading Firm had obtained these three Low-Rank Spirit Artifacts and wanted to auction them for a high price. Naturally, they would make preparations in advance. According to the types of Spirit Artifacts, they would invite the Extreme Mortal Realm masters who practiced the corresponding martial arts to participate.
In the end, the Silver Star Bone Crusher was sold for three hundred and fifty Spirit Sources. It was twenty Spirit Sources higher than the Blood Ray Sword. This was often the trend of auctions.
Striking while the iron was hot, the one hundred and ninety-third auction item was presented. This was also the last auction item.
According to the crowd's understanding and the auction rules, the last auction item would usually be the finale and had the highest value.
The item that was presented was not a weapon, but a purple armor. It was only the size of a palm and did not look like it was meant for a human. It was so small that even a child would find it too small.
However, some Spirit Artifacts were very special and could change their size.
"This armor is also a Low-Rank Spirit Artifact. Its name is Mysterious Purple Sky." The auctioneer said these four words solemnly. The name of each Spirit Artifact sounded very impressive.
"After refining this armor, it can directly protect the body and withstand the attack of a Low-Rank Spirit Artifact. When other parts of the body are attacked, this armor can automatically activate its defensive power to protect the body and withstand the power of a Low-Rank Spirit Artifact."
"The starting price is one hundred and fifty Spirit Sources. Each bid must increase by at least twenty Spirit Sources. The auction begins."
Although they were both Low-Rank Spirit Artifacts, the price of a Defensive Spirit Artifact was often higher than that of a Weapon Artifact. This was because of the different forging techniques, the different difficulty levels, and the different materials used.
It was also different from a Weapon Artifact. A Defensive Spirit Artifact had a wider range of applications. No matter if one practiced the sword, the saber, or other martial arts, a Defensive Spirit Artifact would not hinder one's strength.
Moreover, with a Defensive Spirit Artifact, one could better protect one's life. When one ventured into dangerous situations, one might even be able to obtain more rewards. This was why a Defensive Spirit Artifact was often more valuable.
From the starting price of one hundred and fifty Spirit Sources, the price continued to soar. Soon, it surpassed three hundred Spirit Sources and approached four hundred Spirit Sources. However, this was not the limit.
After a moment of silence, someone else made a bid.
"Four hundred and twenty Spirit Sources!" An old voice rang out, pushing the price of the Mysterious Purple Sky Armor to over four hundred Spirit Sources.
"Four hundred and fifty!"
"Five hundred!" This voice rang out. It was filled with determination, as if he was determined to win.
Five hundred Spirit Sources was already a very frightening price. It was enough to make many Limiteers shrink back.
