First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 180: Demon-slaying Sword, Golden Thunder Annihilation Bead

The trip to the auction went exceptionally smoothly!

The Suanni Heavy Armor was sold for a sky-high price of three thousand low-grade spirit stones!

It was over a thousand two hundred spirit stones higher than the specialized shops that purchased magical artifacts and inner armor.

Although it was only a Profound Grade medium-quality magical artifact, being able to be displayed alongside the Nine Extreme Crystal Sand Gang and the Flawless Eye of the Law, two Profound Grade high-quality magical artifacts, in the Treasure Repository of the Garrison Bureau was enough to show that its power and value were not inferior to high-quality armor.

The buyer of the Suanni Heavy Armor was a Qi Gathering stage late cultivator who practiced a powerful body cultivation technique. He did not conceal his identity and was an elder of the Golden Toad Tower, a small sect.

Their sect's body cultivation technique, the "Golden Toad Body Tempering Art," was a Profound Grade high-quality cultivation technique.

The effect of the Body Tempering Art was quite good, and it was said that when cultivated to a high level, the physical body could rival beasts of the same level.

Shen Mo estimated that this elder of the Golden Toad Tower had cultivated this body cultivation technique to a perfect state, equivalent to the "Integration" of the Heavenly Fate Panel.

Even without using other magical techniques or combat skills, relying solely on his diamond-like physical body, he could contend against a second-stage late-stage demonic beast.

His physical strength was slightly superior to Shen Mo's "Dragon Elephant Blood Demon Body" in the dragon body realm.

Coupled with this Suanni Heavy Armor, he was capable of fighting against a peak second-stage demonic beast! There was a high probability of winning.

When encountering such enemies, Shen Mo would find it difficult to deal with.

In a real fight, without using the Soul Refining Banner, he could only set up the Big Dipper Seven Star Sword Formation to encircle him, and then rely on the majestic sword light to continuously wear down the power of the Suanni Heavy Armor.

After shattering the armor, he would unleash the full power of the sword formation, striving to kill him in one fell swoop.

Of course, without using the Soul Refining Banner, with his current strength, the chances of winning were not high.

However, Shen Mo had no grudges or grievances with this elder of the Golden Toad Tower, so he would not fight him to the death.

It was purely an instinctive consideration of how to deal with such a strong opponent!

In addition to the Suanni Heavy Armor that Shen Mo put up for auction, there was also a fourth-grade weapon smith who put up a Profound Grade high-quality flying sword for auction.

Shen Mo immediately took a liking to this flying sword!

The reason was simple. This high-quality flying sword named "Demon-slaying" did not have any fancy special effects.

All the mining materials, engraved inscriptions, and forging techniques were focused on the sword's own characteristics of "spirit infusion," "toughness," and "sharpness."

Spirit infusion referred to the ability of a magical artifact to accommodate and withstand a cultivator's spiritual power.

For example, a low-grade Profound Grade flying sword could not withstand excessively powerful spiritual power.

Using such a sword technique would not only fail to unleash the original power of the combat technique, but it would also shatter after only a few battles, just like the fire attribute flying sword and the dragon sparrow sword that Shen Mo had used before.

Toughness and sharpness go without saying!

Almost every flying sword would consider these two characteristics.

It's just that the quality varies.

But to reach the level of this Demon-slaying Sword, most of them were Profound Grade top-quality flying swords.

For cultivators who had not comprehended the Sword Intent, this sword was undoubtedly useless. In their hands, its killing power was even inferior to a medium-quality Profound Grade flying sword with its own Sword Intent.

But Shen Mo had comprehended the "Unrestrained" Sword Intent, so this flying sword was just right for him.

After several rounds of intense bidding, Shen Mo acquired it for the price of three thousand five hundred low-grade spirit stones!

The Suanni Heavy Armor and the Demon-slaying Sword, one in and one out.

After deducting the three hundred spirit stones for the consignment fee, Shen Mo only spent five hundred spirit stones.

"Demon-slaying... It seems that this fourth-grade weapon smith is also someone who knows about the Demon Path."

"Otherwise, he wouldn't have given such a simple and straightforward name to this sword!"

Shen Mo touched the cold sword body and felt a slight tingling sensation on his fingertips, which ordinary magical artifacts could not harm.

He was overjoyed in his heart!

As the auction approached its end, Shen Mo received another big surprise.

The final treasure turned out to be the Golden Thunder Shatter Beads that he had been searching for a long time, and there were five of them.

Similar to the Water Thunder Shatter Beads, the Golden Thunder Shatter Beads contained a rich and extreme element.

The former represented the extreme water element.

The latter, of course, represented the extreme gold element.

Treasures of this grade could be used to forge top-quality magical weapons and practice gold-based cultivation techniques.

If there were any Gold Spirit Bodies at the auction, they would spare no expense to acquire these five Golden Thunder Shatter Beads.

As for someone like Hong Jue, who had thrown away the Water Thunder Shatter Beads to destroy the Sword Formation Prison with terrifying thunder and shatter, it would be a waste of precious resources, like using jade to build a toilet.

There were no shortage of cultivators with vision and financial resources at the auction.

After several rounds of bidding, these five Golden Thunder Shatter Beads were quickly sold for 4,500 spirit stones.

After that, the number of people bidding increased.

When the price reached 6,000 spirit stones, only Shen Mo and another cultivator were competing.

If it really exceeded his financial capabilities, he would consider whether he should also try his hand at robbing and plundering.

But then he realized that the person he was competing with was a Spirit Sea Realm cultivator, so his plan to rob and plunder was probably not going to work.

Besides, robbing and plundering was just his own imagination, a method used by evil cultivators. Even if he wanted to do it, he couldn't.

He could only grit his teeth and raise the bidding price to 6,500 spirit stones, hoping to win by relying on his financial strength.

The wandering cultivator in the Spirit Sea Realm seemed to be caught off guard by the fact that a Qi Gathering Realm cultivator dared to compete with him for the Golden Thunder Shatter Beads.

After a cold snort, he no longer made any bids.

From his undisguised expression, Shen Mo understood that he had been targeted by him.

This person must have had the intention of forcibly taking it.

If he was a little softer, Shen Mo would be able to keep his life even if the Golden Thunder Shatter Beads were taken from him.

If he was ruthless, it would be a naked act of robbing and plundering, just like he had imagined earlier.

"Insight into the world!"

Shen Mo secretly sacrificed a medium-grade spirit stone and probed into the details of this wandering cultivator.

[Human: Lou Feng]

[Realm: Spirit Sea Realm, First Heaven]

[Brief Description: This cultivator is from Qingzhou in the Chi Yan Kingdom. When he was young, he accidentally consumed a Golden Dawn Jade Leaf, which brought him great benefits without killing him.

Because of his outstanding aptitude, he was taken as a disciple by a wandering cultivator and embarked on the path of cultivation.

In a certain cave mansion in the Tianku Mountain Range, he obtained the inheritance of an ancient cultivator's divine consciousness, and he has mastered several perfected and consummate gold-based immortal arts.

The main cultivation technique he practices, the "Golden Sand Refining Tower Technique," has reached perfection but not consummation, and he needs to collect various gold-based spiritual materials to assist in his cultivation.]

[Weakness: Due to long-term cultivation of gold-based immortal arts, his body has become heavy and he is not good at sword flying techniques.

By using his agile body to engage with him and waiting for his spiritual power to deplete, there will be an opportunity to strike.]

"No wonder he wants to snatch the Golden Thunder Shatter Beads from me!"

"So he wants to use this spiritual object to cultivate the 'Golden Sand Refining Tower Technique' to perfection."

The "Golden Sand Refining Tower Technique" means gathering sand to build a tower.

By continuously piling up grains of golden sand until an unparalleled treasure tower is formed, it is considered a very good gold-based cultivation technique.

The drawback is that, like Shen Mo's "Dragon Elephant Blood Shatter Body," it consumes a lot of cultivation resources.

"Fortunately, I have the special destiny of 'Insight into the World.' It wouldn't be wise to fight him without understanding him."

"I don't know how much higher his spiritual power is compared to mine in the Spirit Sea Realm. I won't be able to hold on if his spiritual power doesn't deplete before mine."

"After leaving the auction, I'll immediately fly back to the sect on my sword."

"I don't think he can catch up to me!"
