I have 99 innate treasures

Chapter 317 Conflict at the Auction
Qin Mu looked at the cultivators holding signs around him. Although he had never met some of them before, their locations were already familiar to him.

Their wealth and power have been demonstrated throughout the auction.

Whenever they come across some relatively rare auction items, they will bid for them and rarely fail.

Occasionally, failures often occur when the people upstairs also make a move.

Fortunately, when it comes to wealth, Qin Mu feels that he is no worse than them.

Some time ago, through the feedback from the Thirty-Three Heavens Golden Relic Seven Treasures Linglong Tower, he obtained a total of 101,001 high-grade spirit stones, 238,071 medium-grade spirit stones, and 388,300 low-grade spirit stones from a group of demon cultivators.

(The ratio of all spirit stones is 1000:1)

To put it in perspective, that would be 100001+238 top-grade spirit stones, 459 mid-grade spirit stones, and low-grade spirit stones.

The top-grade magic weapons obtained from this treasure, as well as the magic weapons from the monks who died under the God-killing Spear, were sold to Tongtian Tower, and another 12 million high-grade spirit stones were obtained.

Although he spent 459 million high-grade spirit stones at the Baiyun Auction, if you add them all up, he still has million and high-grade spirit stones, medium-grade spirit stones, and low-grade spirit stones.

What's more, there are the Hundred Herbs Spirit Liquid and four pseudo-immortal artifacts that have been auctioned off before, as well as the Dinghai Divine Pearl that has not yet been auctioned as a backing.

After secretly calculating his own wealth, Qin Mu took a deep breath silently, with determination in his eyes.

The technique he practiced was created by the Jade Disc of Creation by absorbing the essence of many cultivation methods, magical powers and spells. It also took a sentence from the Ziwei Taoist Canon: "All things come from Taiyi and are transformed by Yin and Yang", and named it "Taiyi Mysterious Method".

This sentence is also the general outline of the entire content of Taiyi Mysterious Method.

Because some of its core contents were referenced by the 'Yin Yang Star Condensation Method' by the Jade Disc of Creation, he needed to find something of the innate five elements to assist him in cultivating the innate five elements' spiritual energy after the Jindan stage.

However, innate things are rare in the world, and ordinary cultivators may not be able to see one even once in their entire life.

The Jade Disc of Creation also took this into consideration, so after the Golden Core Stage, when one needs to use innate things to assist cultivation, one can cultivate only one of the spiritual roots. When the cultivation method of this spiritual root is perfected, one can then cultivate the cultivation methods of other spiritual roots from the beginning, and eventually the five elements of spiritual power will be transformed into yin and yang qi, and finally merged into the "Taiyi" qi.

In this way, when the innate spirit of the five elements turns into the two qi of yin and yang in the later stage, it will also be the innate yin and yang!

But innate things are really rare. It has been more than a month since Qin Mu started practicing the Taiyi Mysterious Method, and even with Qin Mu's peak luck, he has never encountered one.

This time, he finally encountered the innate Ren water. For the sake of his subsequent practice, he must buy this auction item!

When Qin Mu secretly made up his mind, a cultivator had already called out a price.

"Five million two hundred thousand!"

"Five and a half million!"

"Five. million!"

Qin Mu's eyes were fixed on some of the cultivators who had left an impression on him. He saw that they were chatting and laughing, and did not take the cultivator who was currently bidding seriously at all.

After seeing this scene, he also imitated them, showing a calm expression, quietly waiting for the monks who were currently bidding to reach their limit.

Because there are many monks holding up signs, the price of Xiantian Ren Water changes almost every moment.

In just a blink of an eye, he broke through the mark of 10 million high-quality spirit stones.

This figure has already exceeded the total value of most sects, but the price is still rising wildly.

During the time when Qin Mu worked in the Demon Bureau of Guanhai Town, he had seen some reports from the secret guards in the files.

According to their records, the worst immortal sects, such as the Piaomiao Sect, have had an annual profit of around 500,000 low-grade spirit stones in the past ten years, and the entire sect is worth only about 10,000 high-grade spirit stones.

It seems outrageous, but if converted into low-grade spirit stones, the value of the sect reaches a terrifying 10 billion low-grade spirit stones.

These 10 billion low-grade spirit stones do not refer to the spirit stones that can be circulated, but to the total value of the sect, which includes not only iron ore and spirit ore, but also the value that can be generated when disciples and elders are hired.

A sect like Piao Miao Sect that stands tall in the human world can do business with the imperial court and the independent cultivators in the human world. Although the value of the sect is not high, the disciples can live a fulfilling life because they can have direct contact with the human world.

However, the lower-level sects in the world of cultivating immortals would face resistance from the top-level sects in all walks of life. They basically had no way to earn spirit stones and had to rely on borrowing from other sects every year to survive.

Over time, the top sects and holy places became richer and richer, while these lower-level sects became poorer and poorer. Almost everything that could be sold in the sect had been sold.

When they really cannot come up with spirit stones to repay their debts, they will merge into other sects.

After years of exploitation, the value of the top sects and major holy places has become immeasurable.

Some others continue to survive by relying on the Four Clans of Kaitian, Louwailou and Dayu.

A secret guard hidden in Pushan Temple once mentioned in the files that Pushan Temple's monthly profit was hundreds of millions of high-quality spirit stones. After all, Pushan Temple had many branches, and they had maintained good relations with both the human world and the immortal world in the past years.

As for those holy places that have stood in the world of immortal cultivation for countless years and have countless sects to exploit, their annual profits are astronomical figures.

"Perhaps the spiritual stones in ten Dayu national treasuries combined are not as many as these holy places."

When this thought came to Qin Mu's mind, he heard a bid of "38 million"!

When he heard the price, he subconsciously looked in the direction where the sound came from.

At the same time, the old demon Cangshan narrowed his eyes and stared in that direction.

But the next moment, their attention was attracted by another voice.

"Forty million!"

As the price was called out, the auction site suddenly became quiet.

At this moment, you could almost hear a pin drop at the auction site!
The price of forty million high-quality spirit stones is the highest bid in this auction so far!

The one who shouted out the price was a young monk in a white robe.

When the Cangshan Old Demon heard this voice, a murderous intent suddenly surged out of his triangular eyes, and his voice was icy cold. He gritted his teeth and spoke word by word: "Fu! Qing! Song!"

After Qin Mu heard the name Fu Qingsong, he subconsciously widened his eyes and looked in the direction of Fu Qingsong, but because Fu Qingsong was sitting in the front, he could only see his back. He didn't know much about Fu Qingsong, but as far as he knew, he was a peerless villain ranked seventh on the Tianzi List!
However...hearing the murderous intent in the tone of the old demon Cangshan, it seems that there is some kind of hatred between him and Fu Qingsong.

While Qin Mu was thinking about this, a middle-aged monk in a green shirt said calmly outside a private room upstairs: "Forty-two million!"

Fu Qingsong glanced up at the building and said calmly, "Forty-five million!"

For a moment, only their two voices were heard at the auction. They began to compete with each other, and in just a moment they raised the price to a high price of 90 million.

As soon as Fu Qingsong shouted out this high price, the man in green shouted out a high price of "ninety-two million"!

Fu Qingsong looked up at the man again and silently put down the jade plate in his hand.

Auctioneer Li Xin saw that the scene had become quiet, so he asked, "Is there any senior who has made a higher bid?"

As she asked, Qin Mu saw that no one was holding up a sign. He took a deep breath, raised the jade board in front of him, and shouted, "Ninety-five million!"

In an instant, countless spiritual consciousnesses came towards him.

After they discovered that Qin Mu was wearing a sky-avoiding divine robe and a face mask and could not detect any useful information from him, they decided to leave their spiritual mark on him.

Qin Mu naturally didn't notice this, but the old demon Cangshan sitting on his left and Mingshui on his right noticed it at the first moment.

After the old demon Cangshan noticed this scene, he thought that he could use the spiritual mark on Qin Mu to plot against the spirit stones on other cultivators. Therefore, he just narrowed his eyes and pretended nothing had happened, as if he didn't know Qin Mu.

When Mingshui sensed those spiritual senses, his face underneath the mask turned cold in an instant, and he immediately released his spiritual sense at the peak of the celestial realm, condensing it into needles. In the blink of an eye, he counterattacked along the spiritual senses of these people, and pierced directly into their sea of ​​consciousness with terrifying power.

Suddenly, the faces of tens of thousands of monks changed drastically!
The one with weaker cultivation level immediately spat out a mouthful of blood mist, his face turned pale, and he became listless.

Some old monsters and leaders of holy places felt a sudden pain in their sea of ​​consciousness. They felt dizzy and it took them a long time to recover.

Fu Qingsong, who was sitting at the front row, also raised his hand to cover his brows and lowered his head, feeling a strong fear in his heart.

At the same time, the man in green clothes upstairs was also under the attack of Mingshui's spiritual consciousness. His face changed and he subconsciously took a step back, avoiding the attack through some kind of magical power.

Yao Yuqing, who had transformed into a 'frightened old woman' and was sitting in a corner, sensed the strength of Mingshui's spiritual awareness and instinctively turned around to look at where Mingshui was.

After seeing Mingshui in a black robe and a white mask on his face, she snorted in her heart.

"Sure enough, he's here too!"

The auctioneer Li Xin on the auction table looked young, but his cultivation was not weak either, having reached the Yuanshen stage.

She immediately sensed the undercurrent at the scene. Although Mingshui's actions violated the rules of the Tongtian Tower auction, the fact that she could use her spiritual sense to attack so many cultivators at once and cause severe damage to their spiritual sense was far beyond the ability of Tongtian Tower to cope with.

She believed that Tongtian Tower would definitely give some kind of warning to Mingshui, so she wanted to continue with the auction as if nothing had happened.

At this moment, her clear voice resounded throughout the scene.

"Is there any senior who offers a higher price?"

After she finished speaking, not only did no one raise a sign, but a monk wearing a sky-covering robe even sneered, "What if we bid a higher price and get killed on the spot?"

When he said this, there was a murmur of discussion.

Then, groups of monks began to sneer.

"Since this senior is relying on his high level of cultivation to bully others, we, the younger generation, can only retreat!"

"I didn't expect that the famous Tongtian Tower also has rules based on cultivation. If one day our cultivation exceeds your control, does it mean that all the rules will cease to exist?"

After hearing these words, Li Xin's face suddenly turned ugly.

At this time, Mingshui, wearing a black sky-avoiding robe and a white face shield, stood up silently, holding a black spear that Qin Mu had given him in advance, and walked towards the exit of the auction step by step under the gaze of tens of thousands of cultivators.

With every step he took, his aura would rise significantly, and his footsteps would become as heavy as a mountain, as if stepping on everyone's hearts, causing many monks to change color.

The monks who had witnessed the fierce battle between the Old Demon Cangshan and Master Bujie in the Dark Pavilion, when they saw the spear, seemed to remember something and subconsciously showed a look of shock on their faces.

Mingshui finally stood at the exit of the auction. His aura reached its peak at this moment, and his strength as a peak celestial being was fully revealed!

It was an aura that seemed like the sky was falling, carrying with it a heavy pressure!
Under this terrifying aura, all the monks were like ants crushed by a huge rock, unable to move.

Even those old monsters and masters of holy places were now nailed to their chairs like ordinary monks, with intense horror in their eyes.

The monks who had previously squeezed out the Hades Water looked even paler, with fear in their eyes.

If they had known that the Dark Water was so terrifying, how could they have dared to say a word just now?

In the private rooms, the two earth immortals, the members of the four tribes of Kaitian, and the four kings of different surnames also had their chairs collapsed under this momentum and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

Lu Shan looked at Li Tangshi and Wu Xingguo lying on the ground with an unpleasant expression. He wanted to help them up, but he himself was overwhelmed by the aura of the peak celestial being and could not move.

Although he has a way to break free from this restraint, if he does so, the fact that Emperor Yu faked his death will be known to all cultivators in the world.

By that time, it would be basically hopeless for Dayu to eliminate the internal cancer.

Li Tangshi and Wu Xingguo also kept giving him glances, signaling him not to act rashly.

At the exit of the auction, Mingshui scanned the entire auction venue with a pair of cold eyes, which made many people feel cold all over. His hoarse voice also slowly sounded at this moment.

"With my level of cultivation, I could have robbed it openly, but I still followed the rules of Tongtian Tower and sat there to bid with you, but you sent your spiritual sense to me!"

"I didn't want to argue with you, I just wanted to punish you a little."

"But you are so ungrateful..."

"In that case, don't blame me for flipping the table!"
