Mortals: The Daily Life of Hidden Moon Sect

Chapter 734

Facing cultivators like Lin Mo who were at the peak of the fusion stage, they sat firmly in their independent residences on the third floor and rested quietly.

Lin Mo observed carefully for a while, and after confirming that there were no unusual events that caught his attention at the moment, he closed his eyes without hesitation and entered into deep meditation to adjust his mental state.

Young Master Hai and Qi Lingzi stood cautiously behind him and didn't say another word.

As time passed silently, the noisy sighs coming from below gradually faded away, and the entire huge and luxurious palace instantly fell into a suffocating silence.

Lin Mo was keenly aware of this abnormality, so he opened his eyes again and looked down through the window.

At this moment, two people with extremely unique appearances appeared on the platform. They stood side by side, as if waiting for an important moment to come.

There was a tall man, standing about two meters high, his whole body covered in dazzling black light, his shape vague and unclear.

He looks like a strong man with a full beard, but his true appearance is always difficult to see.

The other man was more muscular, even surpassing the previous strong and bearded man.

It has a burning red horn on its head, its eyes emit a deep green glow, and shimmering scaly objects can be vaguely seen on both sides of its face.

This person is a demon warrior who has cultivated to a certain level. Lin Mo stared at the two extraordinary people in front of him, his eyes narrowed slightly, but after a while, they returned to normal.

At this moment, in the darkness in the center of the stage, the sturdy man with shiny skin suddenly spoke:
"I'm sure most of you here already know my identity and that of fellow Daoist Lihuo, so there's no need for us to introduce ourselves in detail."

"Here, on behalf of the two of us, I solemnly announce that the first round of auctions at this Wanbao Convention will be officially launched soon."

This man with a huge physique and a black glow all over his body is the famous Black Tortoise Overlord in the Flame Empire.

And the powerful demon who was respectfully called "Lihuo" was undoubtedly the best among the seven royal families - Lihuo Dragon.

The opening ceremony of this unprecedented auction was actually hosted by these two unattainable powerful men in person, which naturally surprised all the practitioners present.

However, when these two powerful men stepped down from their high thrones one after another, an old man in a white robe and with silver hair slowly walked onto the stage.

Following behind him were two maids, each holding a tray filled with strips of golden silk, wrapping the mysterious object hidden inside.

"My name is Tianyanzi. I have the honor to be the host of this auction. I sincerely ask for your strong support and warm applause from all the friends present!"

The old man in white robe bowed deeply towards the entire hall and said with a smile.

Immediately afterwards, there was thunderous applause and cheers from below:
"Hahaha, with Lord Tianyanzi presiding over this auction, we naturally feel much more at ease."

"That's absolutely right. Especially for those of us who practice between the two races, Senior Tianyanzi's insight and unique vision are well known to everyone!"

……

As soon as the old man finished speaking, he attracted enthusiastic responses from many monks.

Obviously, the reputation and influence of this Tianyanzi, whose cultivation has reached the middle stage of the Refining Void Realm, should not be underestimated.

The old man in white robe still had a smile on his face. He nodded respectfully to the people around him and then said directly:
"Dear friends, you have come here specially for this auction, so you probably don't want to waste your time listening to me talk nonsense."

"Well, let's get down to business! You servants, please present the first exhibit."

Before Tianyanzi finished speaking, he waved behind him.

The servant at the front took a few cautious steps forward, raised his hands above his head, and respectfully handed the tray in his hands to the old man.

The old man in white robe then gently raised his arm and with his fingertips, he easily lifted the golden silk from the tray.

In an instant, a crystal emitting dazzling silver light appeared in everyone's sight.

This crystal is only the size of a fist, but its surface is engraved with layers of natural and exquisite patterns.

The lines contain bursts of dazzling silver light, as if countless silver threads were injected into the crystal, which is extremely beautiful.

"Look, this top-grade refining material called 'Silver Silk Crystal' is an indispensable raw material for refining gold-attributed magic weapons."

"This kind of silver thread crystal only grows in the Baibi Canyon in the far east of the human race. Sometimes the annual output is not even enough to get half of this crystal. This shows how precious it is."

"Just add a little of this substance to an ordinary flying sword, and it will make the sword's edge even sharper, far surpassing treasures of the same quality."

"If you can devote yourself to using this material to refine weapons, then it is not impossible to become a spiritual treasure."

"So, the reserve price for this treasure is three million spirit stones. Each bid cannot be less than one hundred thousand. The auction officially begins!"

Tianyanzi gave everyone a detailed description of the items displayed on the plate, and then announced in a loud voice the start of the auction.

They are not only rare materials for refining demon race armor, but also essential items for refining various other magical instruments and treasures.

However, after several rounds of fierce fighting, most of the monks in the hall showed expressions of astonishment.

In total, seven or eight items were successfully won by the black-haired demons who made their debut at the scene at eye-popping high prices.

It seems that for this person, the most important thing is to obtain the materials needed for refining the equipment. He is willing to pay a lot of spirit stones and puts on an extremely domineering attitude.

This mysterious black-haired demon was dressed in a misty brown leather robe, with the exception of his arms which were exposed.

His whole body was tightly wrapped, and one could only vaguely see his hideous and strange face, but could not see it clearly.

Obviously, this leather robe can only block powerful beings at the Shenhua and Lianxu levels.

For Lin Mo, a cultivator whose strength has reached the fusion stage, he only needs to exert a little effort to forcibly penetrate the concealing power of the leather robe.

"It's actually a black wolf demon! His cultivation has only reached the initial stage of refining emptiness, why is he so generous? Could it be that he comes from a prominent family in the wolf clan?"

Lin Mo's eyes flashed with blue light. After examining the black-haired demon, he frowned and whispered to himself.

Although Qi Lingzi and Hai Dashao heard everything clearly from the back, they also could not understand the reason, so they could only stand there quietly, not daring to interrupt easily.

At this moment, a piece of strange silk cloth emitting a blazing red light, which looked like it was woven from flames, was once again presented on the stage by a boy. The audience at the scene instantly fell into a clamor!
"Crystal Flame Silk, it's actually a piece of cloth woven from Crystal Flame Silk."

“It’s unbelievable!”

“It’s simply luxurious!”

Many monks stared at the scarlet silk cloth in shock, some even did not hide their greed and wanted to rush up and take it into their pockets immediately.

"Master, what exactly is this crystal flame thread? Why are all of you here so eager to get it?"

When Young Master Hai saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"No wonder you are unfamiliar with this thing! This crystal flame silk is not produced by our human race, but a precious spiritual material unique to the Black Phoenix Clan."

"Legend has it that it originated from a type of fireworm that lives deep in the lava, and the spiritual silk it spews out is the crystal flame silk."

"However, this insect can only spit out one crystal flame thread in its lifetime, and it is only found in a lava area controlled by the Black Phoenix Clan. Therefore, its value is higher than the previous silver thread crystal."

"If the fire-attributed magical instruments made with this kind of material can be worn for a long time by cultivators practicing the same attribute, they can invisibly improve some of their cultivation progress."

"And the treasures made from crystal flame silk also have the effect of significantly enhancing the power of fire-attributed magical powers."

"Among the cultivators present, there must be many who are practicing fire-attributed techniques as their main or secondary cultivation. As such, such a large amount of crystal flame silk will naturally make their blood boil."

Lin Mo answered with a smile, which cleared up the doubts and confusions.

"I see! In that case, it makes sense that these people would pursue me so passionately."

Qi Lingzi also laughed happily.

The Lord of Heaven's Eyes has already announced the starting price for the Crystal Flame Silk, and what followed was an even more enthusiastic bidding wave, the level of which far exceeded any previous competition.

In almost the blink of an eye, the price of Crystal Flame Silk has soared to nearly double, which is an astronomical figure.

However, as the price continued to rise, the fierce bidding gradually cooled down.

In the end, there were only five or six practitioners still left on the battlefield, including the mysterious black-haired demon.

The final transaction result was not unexpected. This sky-high price was indeed paid by the black wolf demon tribe member himself.

As a result, he undoubtedly attracted more attention from everyone. The many practitioners from both races present frequently cast complicated glances at him, which were naturally full of suspicion and vigilance.

However, at this moment, the old man in white robe announced an unexpected news directly to everyone on the stage.

It instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"My fellow Taoists, I believe that many of you here have participated in the first auction of the Wanbao Convention more than once, so you should be familiar with the fact that the auction process of this auction is different from other auctions."

“Usually, not all of the finale items are kept until the end of the auction, but several finale items are presented at the beginning, middle and end of the auction.”

"Right now, what I am about to show you is one of them. I firmly believe that it will be able to meet the expectations of the vast majority of fellow Taoists and seniors."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, he gently clapped his hands twice.

Then, a smiling young maid suddenly walked out from under the stage, holding a half-foot-high emerald green wooden box in her hand, and walked lightly to Tianyanzi.

The old man in white robe had a solemn expression on his face. He carefully took the wooden box from the maid's hand, then slowly spoke again to the audience:
“Although some of you may have heard of the name of the Weeping Spirit Bloodwood, there are probably only a few who have actually seen this spiritual creature with their own eyes.”

"The thing hidden in this box is a small piece of the Weeping Spirit Bloodwood. This spiritual object has a wide range of uses and can be used as an auxiliary material for performing a variety of great magical powers."

“It can also be used directly to refine the second incarnation and substitute puppets. It is also the main raw material for the world-famous treasure, the Blood-Crying Spirit Pearl. I solemnly declare this.” The old man said solemnly.

After hearing the information mentioned by Tianyanzi, most of the people at the scene expressed doubts, but only a few who heard it showed their excitement beyond words.

“The weeping blood spirit wood, isn’t this the treasure that the spirit race regards as a sacred object!”

"Why would such a precious item appear in an auction between our two major races?"

Some practitioners who knew something about this object couldn't help but exclaim loudly in the audience.

Lin Mo couldn't help but frowned, and at the same time he keenly felt the many spiritual fluctuations coming from the small house on the third floor.

This clearly shows that many powerful people in the fusion stage have developed a strong interest in this weeping blood spirit wood.

"I really don't know much about the origin of this piece of bloodwood. But I can assure you, fellow Taoists, that this piece of weeping spirit bloodwood is absolutely authentic and has no false ingredients."

After the old man finished speaking, he opened the lid of the box.

In an instant, the bloody smell in the box surged out like a tide, turning into a thick blood mist that danced in the air like a giant blood-colored python.

Tian Yanzi took a deep breath of air, her eyes flashing with golden light, and then she stretched out five fingers and grabbed the box.

In the blink of an eye, a strange tree half a foot long, about the size of a thumb in diameter, and with black and red lines all over its body appeared in front of everyone.

The wood was dull in color, but it continuously emitted wisps of blood mist. These blood mists intertwined with each other, swirling endlessly, and rushed straight into the sky, as if they had life.

"The Puppet of Transformation!" Lin Mo stared at this magical thing, his eyes gradually narrowed into a line.

He had heard of the Weeping Blood Wood before. In fact, it was the remains of some mutated wood-attributed spirit creature, and it was truly rare among the spirits.

As for the second incarnation and the great reputation of the "Crying Blood Pearl", they certainly made him yearn for it, but what really made his heart beat was undoubtedly the mysterious puppet of catastrophe.

Although he also possessed a soul-transforming talisman that could replace calamities, as his own cultivation improved, the effectiveness of the soul-transforming talisman became less effective. Even if it was carefully cultivated, the calamity-replacing magical power it could trigger was extremely limited.

However, this catastrophe puppet has become a famous treasure in the long history of the human race. It can even play a huge role in helping practitioners in the fusion stage to overcome disasters and resist catastrophes.

However, the Tribulation Puppet is actually a disposable item. When using it, the caster must personally grasp the timing to drive it. Whether it is driven too early or too late, it may lead to the waste of this item.
