Chronicles of Celestial Origins

"The rules of the auction are as follows. First, the two of us will display various rare items and set an initial bidding price. Fellow Taoists can bid as much as they want. The one with the highest price will win."

"If you don't have enough spiritual stones, you can use other items as collateral. The two of us will estimate the value based on the market price. If no one bids for the item, it will be rejected. If there are any problems or disputes during the auction, the words of the host will be the final decision."

"After the bidding for the items in the market is over, it will be time for all fellow Taoists to bid on their own. At that time, fellow Taoists are free to buy and sell items. The bidding begins now."

Tangning couldn't help but feel happy after hearing what he said. It was exactly the same as what he said at the Broken Ridge Mountain Market Auction without changing a word. No wonder there were rumors that they were members of the Chamber of Commerce.

I guess it's almost as if Duanjishanfang City bids once every four years, and they only bid once every three years. It's obvious that they want to steal customers first.

Apart from the Chamber of Commerce, there is no one with such strength and financial resources.

This hood is a fig leaf to cover up the situation, giving both parties a step down. I guess this kind of thing is well known within the Chamber of Commerce.

After the horse-faced man finished speaking, the bull-headed old man said: "Please buy the first item in this auction."

As soon as he finished speaking, a hole opened in the stone wall behind the round platform, and a veiled female cultivator slowly walked over, holding a tray in her hand, covered with Qingbu.

The bull-headed old man tore open the green cloth and saw a white jade porcelain bottle placed under the tray.

"The first auction item is a bottle of soul-controlling milk." The old man said loudly.

After hearing this, everyone below looked up with slight interest, and there was a slight whisper.

Tang Ning was also very curious and looked at it. He used this object to resist the demons in his heart when he was building the foundation. As a result, during the entire process of building the foundation, he remained conscious and did not fall into an illusion, thus successfully building the foundation. I didn't expect to see this thing again at this auction.

The bull-headed old man said slowly: "Everyone must have heard of this thing! Among the three Xuanmen sects in Xingang, only Qianyi Sect has this thing. I heard that its founder brought it here from Taixuan Sect. Over the years, only his sect Xiaobi The top three disciples can use it.”

"I don't need to elaborate on the efficacy of this thing! As you all know, when building a foundation, the most dangerous aspect is the inner demon. Once you fall into the illusion of the inner demon, everything will stop."

"This item can restrain the inner demons and illusions and keep people's consciousness clear. Since this auction is held in the Chu Kingdom and is under the jurisdiction of the Qianyi Sect, it is presented as the first item as a special gift."

"You fellow Taoists are all peers of Foundation Establishment. You are most aware of the dangers of Foundation Establishment. Although you may not be able to use it, your nephews will be able to use it in future generations."

"The bidding has begun. The base price is 40,000 spirit stones. Each increase in price must not be less than 5,000 spirit stones. Fellow Taoists, please bid."

After the old man finished speaking, the ground fell silent. Forty thousand spirit stones are almost enough for the price of a high-grade spiritual weapon. Everyone here has passed the foundation building hurdle. Spending forty thousand spirit stones to buy this thing is really useless. Even if the disciples need it, they must consider it.

After all, this item is a consumable item and will be gone after one use. And most importantly, although this item is called a foundation-building magical item, it only increases the chance of successful foundation-building. It does not mean that using this item will definitely lead to successful foundation-building. .

Not to mention anything else, there are more than fifty people in the entire hall. How many of them used this object to build the foundation? The foundation was successfully established as usual.

It's obviously not cost-effective to spend tens of thousands of spirit stones to buy such a consumable item that you can't use. Therefore, there has been no bidding.

Some of them, like Tang Ning, are completely useless and will not consider bidding at all.

Seeing this, the bull-headed old man did not urge him. After waiting for a while, no one bid, and then he said: "It seems that fellow Taoists do not approve of this thing. In this case, I will count to the last ten. If there is no one yet, If you place a bid, this item will become an unsold item.”

"Ten, nine, eight, seven..." The bull-headed old man shouted one after another until he shouted the third number and someone took action.

"Fellow Taoist No. 20 made a bid, forty thousand spiritual stones." The bull-headed old man said.

Everyone looked up and saw a thin man holding a stone plaque. The stone plaque was only the size of a palm, but everyone had such sharp eyesight that they could clearly see the fonts on it.

"Do you have any other fellow Taoists who want to increase the price for soul-controlling spiritual milk and foundation-building divine items? How many people have been trapped in the realm of Qi refining all their lives and could not make any progress. In the end, they fought to the death and died miserably under the inner demon of foundation-building because they lacked a bottle. Soul-controlling milk. This thing can change a monk's life. If you have an outstanding nephew in your family, you will regret it if you fail to build the foundation by then." When the bull-headed old man saw someone bidding, he started shouting.

No one watched his performance, and everyone was still unmoved. After the old man finished speaking a long sentence, no one bid, so he said: "I will count dozens. If no one bids for this thing, it will go to Taoist No. 20."

"Ten, nine, eight..." When he counted to seven, another person raised his hand.

"Fellow Taoist No. 37 has increased the price to 45,000 spirit stones. Is there any other Taoist friend who wants to bid again?"

There was silence below, and not long after, the man No. 20 raised the stone tablet in his hand again.

"Fifty thousand spirit stones. Fellow Taoist No. 20 bids again. It seems that he really loves his descendants. Fifty thousand spirit stones. Is there any other fellow daoist who is willing to bid? Just tens of thousands of spirit stones can change a person's life." , Don’t miss this opportunity, can you get it again if you miss this time?”

The bull-headed old man kept inciting on the round platform above, but no one was bidding.

"I will count to the last ten. If there is no one, this bottle of soul-controlling milk will be returned to the Taoist friend."

"Ten, nine, eight, seven..."

This time no one bid again, and the old man made a final decision: "Congratulations to fellow Taoist No. 20 for receiving this bottle of soul-controlling milk. Please come up and receive it."

The man jumped onto the table, handed the spirit stone in the storage bag to the old man, took the white jade bottle and returned it to its original position.

The female nun next to me walked out carrying the tray.

"Next is the second auction item." The horse-faced man said. Before he finished speaking, another female cultivator came slowly from outside the stone wall holding a tray.

The horse-faced man tore open the green cloth, revealing a wooden box containing a golden talisman.

The horse-faced man picked up the talisman and injected spiritual power into it. Instantly, huge spiritual pressure filled the entire hall, and everyone was shocked.

"You fellow Taoists are all well-informed people. You should all know this object without my introduction! Yes, this is a well-known talisman in the cultivation world."

As soon as these words came out, there was a buzzing sound in the hall.

"The Talisman is a third-level talisman. It is fundamentally different from the first-level magic talisman and the second-level spiritual talisman. Whether it is a magic talisman or a spiritual talisman, the magic power is sealed in the talisman. When facing the enemy, this method can be used Release the magic."

"The talisman breaks through the limitations of magic. It seals the power of the talisman in the talisman. Although it reduces the power of the magic weapon, it also reduces the usage restrictions. It can be used by monks with Golden Core or below, which is most suitable for us to build the foundation." "Monk."

"As we all know, the power of a talisman is determined by the remaining power of the talisman. Therefore, the talisman is divided into upper, middle and lower grades."

"The predecessor of this talisman was a three-patterned tripod. After the talisman was broken, its owner sealed its remaining power into this talisman. According to its remaining power, this talisman is of middle grade, retaining 30% of the original talisman. Power.”

"I don't need to say more about the value of this talisman. You all know in your hearts that although this is a consumable, it can definitely turn the tide and turn defeat into victory at a critical moment. The talisman has 30% of the power of the magic weapon. If you can exert its full power, Jin No one under Dan can take this blow."

"Without further ado, a mid-grade talisman has a base price of 70,000 spirit stones. Each increase in price must not be less than 5,000. Fellow Taoists, please bid."

There were still whispers in the hall, but no one made the first bid. Of course, a mid-grade talisman is a rare good thing. As the horse-faced man said, it can definitely turn things around at critical moments.

The biggest problem with it is that this is a consumable item.

It's gone after one use. Seventy thousand spiritual stones are enough to buy a top-quality spiritual weapon. Whether it's worth buying such a consumable item is debatable.

After all, it's not a small amount of money, and no one's spiritual stone just floats out of thin air.

And although this talisman carries 30% of the power of the magic weapon, it remains to be seen whether the user can fully utilize it. If it can exert 50 to 70% of its power, it is considered good.

Tang Ning was a little tempted. Spending 70,000 spirit stones to add an amulet and a life-saving trump card to herself would not be bad.

He is waiting. If no one else bids, 70,000 spirit stones are not impossible.

But if he raises the price at this time, he will not attract others to increase the price. If the price exceeds one hundred thousand spiritual stones, it will definitely not be worth it anyway.

After a long time, no one bid, and the horse-faced man said: "Since no Taoist friends have bid, I will count dozens of them. If no one bids, this thing will become an unsold item."

"Ten, nine, eight, seven..." When he shouted five, someone took action.

"Fellow Taoist No. 7 bids 70,000 yuan. Is there any increase in price? It's a mid-grade talisman with 30% of the power of the magic weapon! It's an absolute rarity, something you can only come across but cannot ask for. Give yourself a guarantee, a peace of mind, a piece of You deserve to have the trump card." Seeing someone bidding, the horse-faced man began to incite.

Everyone has already known their tactics and is accustomed to their rhetoric, so they are not moved by it.

Tangning was not in a hurry and was still waiting.

Another person held up a stone plaque.

"Seventy-five thousand, fellow Taoist No. 43 has increased the price. Is there any other fellow Taoist who wants to bid? With a medium-grade talisman by your side, you no longer have to worry about being noticed, robbed of wealth or life. Regardless of whether you have enemies or not, this One thing can make you practice with more peace of mind until you form a golden elixir.”

The horse-faced man shouted for a while, but no one paid attention, and finally started counting again.

When he shouted the fourth number, Tangning took action and raised the stone tablet in his hand.

"Fellow Taoist No. 24 bids 80,000 spiritual stones." The horse-faced man said.

Before he finished speaking, Tang Ning put down the stone tablet in her hand and raised it again.

"Eighty-five thousand spiritual stones. Fellow Taoist No. 24 bids 85,000 spiritual stones. Is there any increase in price?"

Everyone looked at him, but Tang Ning remained calm.

He really wanted this talisman as a means of protection. The war between the two Xingang Demon Sects in Xingang might start again. His cultivation strength was far from enough to dominate the war.

If you have this middle-grade talisman, under the golden elixir, no matter who you face, you will be able to fight, and you will not be unable to fight back, so you simply add 10,000 spiritual stones. Let other people who want to increase prices hesitate.
