----------------------------------------
There was a buzz of discussion at the auction venue, and most people had doubts about the authenticity of the [Array Palace Immortal Book].
And more people remained silent.
Through his spiritual consciousness, Han Changlin also saw the white light [Array Palace Immortal Book], with a thoughtful expression on his face.
After a long time, when the chatter began to subside, Xie Lingshan smiled slightly and said:
"The doubts of the seniors are completely understandable. Even the juniors will have doubts about this. After all, the Phantom Palace of Ten Thousand Formations was once very prosperous. It was known as the sect with the most strength to challenge Tianzong in the past 100,000 years. Since its founding It only took a few thousand years to prosper, but it has made us and other immortal cultivators yearn for a long time."
"Not to mention the merits and demerits of the Ten Thousand Formation Phantom Spirit Palace back then, it has withstood the attacks of billions of demonic beasts from the depths of the endless sea several times. It is a role model for us and other great Zhou immortal cultivators, and it is indeed like all of you. As a friend said, if this [Array Palace Immortal Notes] is really authentic, its value may be immeasurable. However, this [Array Palace Immortal Notes] is indeed real, but it is not a complete copy, it is [Array Palace Immortal Notes]. The next chapter."
"The Formation Palace Immortal Collection has been personally appraised by the Supreme Elder of our trading firm, and it is undoubtedly authentic. At that time, the Formation Palace Immortal Collection of Wanzhen Linghuan Palace had three chapters, namely the Dharma Chapter, the Theory Chapter, and the Formation Chapter. chapter, and the book in front of the little girl is the next chapter, the Formation Chapter, which contains countless exquisite formation arrangements. The only pity is that without the assistance of the Li Chapter, even if this Formation Chapter can be arranged, it will not be able to be arranged. It’s a pity that we can’t operate as we wish.”
After a pause, Xie Lingshan continued:
"According to legend, the Dharma and Principles of this [Array Palace Immortal Book] disappeared without a trace with the disappearance of several disciples of the Wan Zhen Phantom Spirit Palace who escaped that year. It may have been lost, but it is not certain. This is also As a result, this [Array Palace Immortal Book] could not exert its maximum power, and our firm was entrusted with the auction. The senior requested a base price of 300,000 low-grade spiritual stones, and each increase in price should not be less than 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones. .”
"It turned out to be a broken copy. No wonder."
"Yeah, the second chapter is still the most useless. After all, as far as formations are concerned, if you can't understand the mystery, the formations you arrange can only exert 30 to 40% of the power at most. Maybe it is not as widespread as the world of immortal cultivation. Those ordinary formations."
"It would be great if it were the first or middle part of [Array Palace Immortal Series]. Then I will definitely shoot it even if I spend all my money."
"Hehe, if it really is the first or middle part, I'm afraid it won't be your turn. Those old Yuanying monsters will probably flock to us. And if it's really the first or middle part, we won't get the golden elixir monks at all. Attended the auction.”
"What a pity, what a pity."
...
"I offer 310,000 low-grade spiritual stones. I happen to love the art of formations, so I will take them back and study them."
"You want to get the sect-suppressing treasure of Ten Thousand Formations Phantom Spirit Palace even if you add 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones? I offer 320,000 low-grade spiritual stones."
"Haha, I am also joining in the fun, with 350,000 low-grade spiritual stones."
"Three hundred and sixty thousand, since neither of you likes to study formations, why bother fighting with me?"
"Who said I don't need it? My sect is lacking a few high-quality formations to protect the sect, 370,000 low-grade spiritual stones."
"Three hundred and eighty thousand."
"Four hundred thousand..."
There were not many immortal cultivators participating in the auction, and the many Jindan ancestors present were all human spirits. Although this [Array Palace Immortal Book] is precious, without the first and middle parts, it is just useless. Some Although the formation can be arranged reluctantly, but I don't know its rationale, how can it operate freely? The formation arranged in this way is just a dead formation.
This is also the reason why only three to five people participated in the bidding.
But even these three or five people quickly raised the price to more than 400,000 low-grade spiritual stones.
"I will offer half a million low-grade spiritual stones."
Just as the price was raised to 440,000 low-grade spiritual stones, several immortal cultivators participating in the auction began to show hesitation, when a voice suddenly sounded, shocking the entire audience.
"Someone is actually willing to spend half a million low-grade spiritual stones to buy a fragment of a book?"
"I'm afraid this person is not a formation maniac, but he is not far behind. With half a million low-grade spiritual stones, he can almost buy two high-quality magic weapons."
"We, the Golden Core cultivators, want to accumulate 500,000 low-grade spiritual stones. It will be difficult for us to accumulate 500,000 low-grade spiritual stones. It will be difficult for us to do so without a hundred and eighty years. Could this person be a senior member of a certain sect?"
"High-level sect? That is probably an inconspicuous small sect. Any sect that is somewhat famous will have at least a Nascent Soul cultivator in charge. The elder of this person's family might be a Nascent Soul cultivator."
"Are there any fellow Taoists who offer a higher price? This [Formation Palace Immortal Book] contains all-inclusive information on formations, and there are countless all kinds of wonderful and unpredictable formations. At that time, the Phantom Palace of Ten Thousand Formations relied on These wonderful and unpredictable formations have been able to traverse the endless open sea for thousands of years and suppress the monsters in the outer sea for thousands of years. It is conceivable that the wonders of these formations are amazing."
Xie Lingshan's voice came at the right time, but the smile on her pretty face dimmed somewhat when it fell into Han Changlin's eyes.
Xie Lingshan is well versed in motivating generals. As soon as she opened her mouth, several immortal cultivators who had hesitated and were about to give up began to be eager to try again.
The Ten Thousand Formations Phantom Spirit Palace was indeed too glorious back then. Most of the Jindan monks here have heard of this sect. The heyday of the Ten Thousand Formations Phantom Spirit Palace was more than 7,000 years ago. For Shouyuan's long history, For a cultivator, it is just like yesterday.
The Ten Thousand Arrays Phantom Palace was also the only sect in the past 100,000 years that almost shook the dominance of the Water Control Palace, the Five Elements Alliance, and the Six Paths Demon Palace. Moreover, before the destruction of the Ten Thousand Arrays Phantom Palace, the Five Elements Alliance was nothing more than a third-rate sect. , and it was precisely after its destruction that the Five Elements Alliance suddenly prospered, forming the current three-legged situation in the entire vast sea area of the Great Zhou Dynasty except the north.
It is precisely because of this that many Jindan monks are eager to try the next chapter of the "Array Palace Immortal Book".
"I'm offering 550,000 low-grade spiritual stones."
The old voice that had been silent sounded again.
Hearing this, Han Changlin couldn't help but frown, his eyes flashing with a hint of coldness.
"Five hundred and fifty thousand low-grade spiritual stones. Do you still want to bid for this fellow Taoist? Such a sect-suppressing immortal treasure is something that can only be encountered but cannot be sought. If you miss it today, you may never come across it in the future."
Xie Lingshan continued to encourage.
Hearing this, Han Changlin couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile on his face:
"Six hundred thousand low-grade spiritual stones."
"Six hundred and fifty thousand low-grade spiritual stones."
The old man seemed to be aroused and made another bid without giving in.
"Eight hundred thousand."
Han Changlin calmly shouted out a price that made everyone around him gasp.
"Eight hundred thousand, is there any fellow Taoist who offers a higher price?"
Xie Lingshan's tone couldn't help but tremble. Although the name of this "Array Palace Immortal Book" is resounding, it is of little use to most people, unless it is purchased by some sects who have studied the art of formations intensively. , and can also serve as some reference.
Xie Lingshan originally estimated that this [Array Palace Immortal Book] could be sold for 500,000 low-grade spiritual stones, which was enough to satisfy her, but she never expected that the price would eventually be raised to 800,000.
For a price of 800,000, you can basically buy a mid-level magic weapon.
From this we can see that the price is quite high.
The old voice did not ring again. Obviously the price of 700,000 was beyond his affordability, and he finally chose to let it go.
"Is there no fellow Taoist who continues to bid? Since there is no fellow daoist who continues to bid, this [Array Palace Immortal Book] belongs to this fellow daoist."
This time, Xie Lingshan did not continue teasing, which also shows that this woman knows how to exercise discretion and understands the principle of too much is not enough. Of course, the price is far beyond her expectations, so she can just accept it.
Taking a deep breath, Han Changlin couldn't help but twitch his face a few times. To be honest, these 800,000 low-grade spiritual stones made Han Changlin, who had never been stingy with spiritual stones, feel a heartache for the first time.
These 800,000 low-grade spiritual stones are actually his limit. The previous bid for the seals of the Six Explosive Flame Techniques has already spent 250,000. In addition to the 800,000 used for the auction of this [Array Palace Immortal Book], He spent a total of 1.05 million low-grade spiritual stones.
This number, just thinking about it, made Han Changlin amazed. After owning more than one million low-grade spiritual stones, he didn't feel much about it, but after spending it, it really made him feel distressed.
There were so many spiritual stones that seemed to have been left here for a while, and they went out again before they could warm themselves up.
Thinking of this, Han Changlin showed a helpless smile on his face.
After a while, a female cultivator held the [Array Palace Immortal Book] and entered the cave where Han Changlin was. After paying 800,000 low-grade spiritual stones, Han Changlin carefully collected the [Array Palace Immortal Book]. got up.
After auctioning this [Array Palace Immortal Book], this mission was successfully completed. In the past, Han Changlin would usually choose to leave here, but he thought of what Lu Kexin had told him. After the auction, he would also do something for These golden elixir monks hold a private trade fair, and they can also exchange their cultivation experiences with each other after the trade fair.
This is a rare opportunity for Han Changlin. He has just entered the Golden Elixir and his realm is quite stable. It is a great thing for him to communicate more with these old Golden Elixir monsters.
So Han Changlin was still sitting in the cave. Through his spiritual consciousness, he saw Xie Lingshan in the stands. He waved his jade hand gently, and a dark egg the size of a human head appeared on the jade plate.
Looking at this pitch-black egg, the entire auction house suddenly fell into silence.
Immortal cultivators in the world of immortality improve their own combat power by cultivating gods, refining magic weapons, and practicing mystical skills. This can all be classified as self-cultivation. In the world of immortality, there is another way to improve one's own combat power. The way is to raise spiritual pets.
For example, the soul-eating insects raised by Han Changlin are also a kind of spiritual pets in a sense. However, in the world of immortal cultivation, some monsters that have been domesticated and controlled by forbidden gods are called spiritual pets.
The soul-eating insects raised by Han Changlin are classified as spiritual insects.
After taking a few breaths, Xie Lingshan smiled charmingly:
"I think all of you seniors are already looking forward to the final item of this auction."
"I think many of the seniors here can guess the beast egg in front of me, but as for what kind of monster egg it is, no one should be able to guess it."
Xie Lingshan had a confident smile on her face, as if she was waiting for someone to guess, but as she expected, no one said anything.
She then continued:
"This beast egg comes from the depths of the endless open sea. It is the egg of a golden-horned black poisonous dragon."
"laugh..."
As soon as Xie Lingshan finished speaking, there were shouts of surprise from all around.
While Han Changlin was thinking about what kind of monster this so-called golden-horned black poisonous dragon was, someone had already spoken.
"Golden-horned black poisonous dragon? He has the strength of a second-level Dzogchen monster when he is born, and as long as he practices for hundreds of years, he has a high probability of advancing to the transformation. Is he the true king of poisonous dragons?"
"No, this golden-horned black poisonous dragon has always been active in the deepest part of the endless open sea. It is rare for immortal cultivators to see it, let alone be able to take away its eggs. This poisonous dragon is the best protector of calves. After giving birth to eggs, I would never leave the nest ten miles away easily, I really don’t know who could steal this dragon egg.”
"Seniors also know that although this poisonous dragon is a relatively low-level existence in the dragon clan and is often looked down upon by other dragons, this golden-horned black poisonous dragon is an exception. It is the true king of the poisonous dragon clan with noble blood. , and it possesses the combat power of a second-level Dzogchen monster when it is born. From this, we can see how precious this egg is, and as long as it is carefully cultivated, it will definitely be able to advance to the third level in less than two hundred years."
Hearing this, there was a sound of exclamation all around. Even if a third-level monster is one-on-one with a golden elixir monk, it will most likely not be a match. If a golden elixir monk possesses a three-level demon beast, The combat power of the spiritual pet has at least doubled.
It is precisely because this kind of high-level monster beast has noble blood and is extremely rare in number, so the eggs of this kind of beast are also extremely precious.
Han Changlin's eyes also flashed with fiery light. This [Golden Horned Black Poisonous Dragon] egg is simply a tailor-made and powerful boost for the Golden Elixir cultivator.
Moreover, this kind of spiritual pet that can be controlled from the egg stage is difficult to get rid of. In the world of immortal cultivation, immortal cultivators mainly control monsters through two methods: the art of blood ban and the art of divine ban.
The art of blood ban, by dripping one's own essence and blood into the beast eggs, blends into the beast soul, allowing the monster beast to regard the immortal cultivator as a parent. This method of control will make the monster beast have the highest loyalty, driving It is also the most flexible. Even if the monster enters the transformation stage one day, this kind of closeness in the bones is difficult to let go. Of course, nothing is absolute. If the spiritual pet is separated from its owner for too long one day, the power of this bloodline Control will diminish.
At this time, once the master comes back, it is easy for the master to devour the master. However, the blood ban technique can activate the blood self-destruction at the moment when the demon beast devours the master, directly tearing the soul of the demon beast and destroying its body and spirit. It can be said that it is right. A monster with the blood-forbidden technique may not even know that it is being controlled until it dies.
Then there is the art of divine prohibition. Through the method of sacrifice and refining, a trace of the soul of the monster is collected into the sea of consciousness, thereby controlling the life and death of the monster. The monster knows that it has been controlled, but it is helpless, because once it resists, Its owner can use spiritual thoughts to make its life worse than death, and taste the painful taste like soul refining. At this time, the monster can only obey and dare not have any objections.
Of course, there are also some immortal cultivators who will use the divine forbidden technique to seal a trace of the soul of a monster in a soul card. In this way, no matter who gets the soul card, they can control the monster as long as they practice it. .
No matter which one of these two forbidden methods of control, once the monster is hit, it is basically difficult to get a chance to stand up again. The first type can only be completely dissipated after the master ascends or becomes seated. , the monster can also regain its freedom.
But in reality, even if the master really ascends or becomes seated, the monster may not be able to regain its freedom. Most of the time, a trace of its soul will be sealed again, and it will become the guardian spirit beast of the sect or its master's descendants, and it will never be able to regain its freedom in its lifetime.
Therefore, a powerful spiritual pet can be passed down from generation to generation, and the longer the monster is passed down, the stronger its strength will be. Therefore, in some large sects, several sect-protecting spirit beasts are usually kept in captivity.
Of course, the advancement of monster beasts is also limited. Monster beasts are different from humans. Humans determine the speed of their cultivation and judge the realm they can reach based on the quality of their spiritual roots. Of course, this is also subject to personal luck. Influence.
In comparison, monster beasts are much simpler and more pure. The most important thing for monster beasts is bloodline. The nobler the bloodline, the stronger the strength at birth, and as the age increases, the possibility of advancement is lower than that of bloodline. The waiting monster is much taller.
For example, the golden-horned black poisonous dragon is rumored to contain a trace of golden dragon blood in its body. The golden dragon is a legendary ancient fairy spirit that has long since disappeared without a trace in this world, and the golden-horned black poisonous dragon containing the golden dragon's bloodline is... Ancestor has also become a large clan of monsters in the depths of the endless sea, and is also the enemy of human immortal cultivators.
If in normal times, a human monk encounters a golden-horned black poisonous dragon, unless he is a Nascent Soul monk, he will most likely be buried in the belly of the dragon, and both physically and mentally will be destroyed.
Now, someone actually went deep into the lair of the golden-horned black poisonous dragon and stole its eggs. It must be said that it was truly a blessing and a blessing.
Everyone was amazed and greeted the base price quoted by Xie Lingshan.
"Fifty thousand low-grade spiritual stones, each price increase must not be less than 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones."
This price is really not expensive for many golden elixir stage monks. As long as they can get this dragon egg and hatch it, the little poisonous dragon will have the strength of the second level of Dzogchen as soon as it is born. As long as it is raised for a hundred or two hundred years, You can cultivate a third-level poisonous dragon, which is more precious than getting a spiritual treasure or refining a high-quality magic weapon.
"Fifty-one million..."
"Five hundred and twenty thousand..."
"Five hundred and thirty thousand..."
"Five hundred and fifty thousand"
"Six hundred thousand."
...
Seeing this dragon egg, these usually aloof Jindan practitioners also started to go crazy.
Almost instantly, the price of this dragon egg was raised to 600,000 low-grade spiritual stones, and the price continued to rise.
When Han Changlin saw this scene, he could only sigh secretly in his heart and chose silence. It was not that he was not interested in the dragon egg. On the contrary, if he had not taken the photo of the [Taoist Palace Immortal Book], it would have caused what happened to him. There were not many spirit stones left, so he had to take the dragon egg no matter what.
But now, he had no choice but to give up.
"Six hundred and fifty thousand..."
"I will pay 660,000 yuan."
"Seven hundred thousand..."
After shouting out the price of 700,000 low-grade spiritual stones, the voices calling for prices from the exit began to become rarer.
"I offer 750,000 low-grade spiritual stones."
"I'm going to pay 800,000 yuan."
"Huh, I'm bound to get this dragon egg concubine, 850,000 yuan."
"Eight hundred and eighty thousand."
"Nine hundred thousand..."
"one million."
After a female voice shouted out the astonishing price of one million, there was a sound of exclamation from the surroundings, and the two immortal cultivators who originally looked like they were determined to win finally fell silent and stopped bidding.
"I came to participate in this auction this time just for this dragon egg. As a member of the Water Control Palace, I have prepared enough spiritual stones. I think all of you fellow Taoists are also smart people. I don’t need to say anything more, concubine?”
The female voice that shouted a million words sounded again.
When the surrounding Jindan monks heard that this woman admitted that she was from the Water Control Palace, they all exclaimed. The monks who wanted to continue to participate in the bidding also chose to remain silent and no longer spoke. .
Yushui Palace is one of the three giants in the large sea area in the middle and southern part of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Black Stone Island in front of you is the property of Yushui Palace. This shows that Yushui Palace has strong financial resources. Since this woman dares to be generous on such an occasion Acknowledging one's identity is of course confidence in one's own strength, and on the other hand it is more about the power of the Water Control Palace.
Xie Lingshan's pretty face also showed a look of helplessness. Even the people of Yushui Palace, even Dongtian Trading Company, did not dare to offend easily. Moreover, this woman also spoke very measuredly. She only revealed her identity and did not Directly speaking threatening words is not considered breaking the rules.
In other words, even if this woman really threatens her, there seems to be nothing she can do against her. After all, she has offended the Water Control Palace. If their Dongtian Trading Company's business in this sea area is affected, the consequences will not be small to her. What a foundation-building monk can bear.
"Is there any other fellow Taoist who bids? If not, then this dragon egg will belong to this senior from the Water Control Palace."
After checking around and confirming that no one was bidding again, Xie Lingshan announced the results of the auction.
"Gee, I thank you fellow Taoists for showing mercy." Seeing that his bid was successful, the Jindan elder of Yushui Palace couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Juniors also congratulate this senior. He has obtained a powerful spiritual pet, and his strength has greatly increased since then."
Xie Lingshan also took this opportunity to compliment the Jindan elder of Yushui Palace, and then said with a smile:
"This auction has been successfully concluded here. Xie Lingshan has thanked all the seniors. After the auction is over, we will hold a trade fair as usual. Later, fellow Taoists can wear our Dongtian Trading Company to give you Even if you don’t get the item you like at this auction, you can exchange it for the item you need through this fair.”
Now the seniors can enter the exchange meeting venue through the one-way teleportation array in the cave. Xie Lingshan thanked all the seniors again.
