The starting price of the map of the Underworld is the same as that of the Netherworld Cloak, which is 200,000 high-level spiritual stones.
However, the bidding was even more intense.
In the end, the jade slip of the map was auctioned off for a sky-high price of 1.07 million. Qu Wuming couldn't help but secretly sighed, guessing that the one who was auctioned must be a certain large sect - if it was because of this map that he finally obtained the Order of the Supreme Alchemist. , not only can he train an excellent alchemist for his sect, but it is also equivalent to making the alchemist sect owe a huge favor, a huge favor that is bound to be worth more than one million spiritual stones.
During the entire auction process, Qu Wuming only made one move, and then watched the whole process.
Perhaps it was a deliberate arrangement. The third auction item had the intention of riding on the popularity of the map of the underworld, and it turned out to be a jade slip.
However, this jade slip records various creatures in the underworld, and is named "Encyclopedia of Creatures in the Underworld". It is said to have pictures and truth. With this volume, it is a Taoist in the transformation stage. It can deal with more than 40% of the creatures in the underworld with ease - as for the remaining 60%, the best way to deal with it is to stay away.
However, this auction item is obviously not very attractive to everyone present. Although the starting price is not high, only 50,000 high-level spiritual stones, the final transaction price is only 120,000 high-level spiritual stones.
The final winner was Qu Wuming, who didn't know much about the creatures in the underworld, but felt it was necessary to know something in advance.
Qu Wuming has always believed that if you are prepared, you will never go wrong.
"I believe that the fourth lot below must be a treasure that everyone has been waiting for!" Fairy Ruyu waved her hand, and another woman in red brought a tray covered with red silk. In the middle of the tray, there was An exquisite jade box about two inches long and half an inch wide.
Ruyu Fairy twisted the spell in her hand, waved her hand gently, peeled off the seal on the jade box, opened the lid, and took out a delicate black umbrella from inside.
I saw that the small umbrella was only more than an inch long, about the thickness of my little finger, and it was quietly suspended in the palm of Fairy Ruyu.
Fairy Ruyu recited the magic formula, and suddenly she yelled, "Quick!" The small umbrella suddenly whirled around and flew to the top of Fairy Ruyu's head, turning into a big umbrella over three feet long, and held it up with a bang. got up.
Qu Wuming squinted his eyes and looked forward, and saw that the umbrella was as black as ink, with seven golden star patterns on it. There seemed to be faint light flashing on the umbrella, and there were thirty-six ribs under the umbrella. Each umbrella rib is inlaid with three gems, shining under the light of the auction table.
The top of the umbrella is decorated with a golden lotus. In the middle of the lotus, where the lotus pod is supposed to be, a demon-conquering pestle sticks out. The three-sided pestle tip seems to be extremely sharp. There is a treasure vase hanging upside down on the other end of the umbrella handle. What a wonderful use.
The ends of the thirty-six umbrella ribs are decorated with a multi-pleated curtain, and the curtain is embroidered with densely packed ancient runes. If you look closely, you can see that they are actually written in ancient fairyland characters.
Fairy Ruyu introduced at this time: "The Beidou Xuanming Hunyuan Umbrella is a ninth-level pinnacle item that several of our Xianghezhai masters of weapon refining and spell masters spent more than thirty years working on. magic weapon!"
Speaking of this, Fairy Ruyu paused deliberately, as if she could hear a burst of exclamation from many auction tables, and a confident smile of "I knew it would be like this" appeared on her face, and then she continued slowly. : "This umbrella is actually not specially made for the Underworld. It is included in this auction just at the right time. But if this treasure is brought to the Underworld, it will undoubtedly be a weapon capable of both offense and defense! Please take a look!"
As she spoke, Fairy Ruyu raised her hand and pointed at the huge light screen behind her, and many detailed images of the Beidou Xuanming Hunyuan Umbrella were immediately displayed on the light screen.
"On the umbrella rib, there are hundreds of inlaid pearls such as luminous pearls, dust-proof pearls, fire-proof pearls, water-proof pearls, evil-proof pearls, lightning-proof pearls, cooling-reducing pearls, soul-soothing pearls, Jiuqu pearls, beauty-fixing pearls, and wind-fixing pearls. Zero and eight orbs of various types coincide with the number of Tiangang."
"Inside the umbrella, there are Qiankun Talisman Array, Hunyuan Talisman Array, Bagua Talisman Array, Taiyi Talisman Array, Golden Light Talisman Array, Fiery Fire Talisman Array, Green Wood Talisman Array, Black Water Talisman Array, Wutu Talisman Array, and Gengjin Talisman Array. Thirty-six talisman arrays and other talisman arrays are in line with the number of earth evil spirits."
"When the umbrella is open, it is impervious to water, fire, and all kinds of magic. As long as the user's magic power is enough to support it, it can be almost invincible. When the umbrella is closed, there is a magic pestle in front that can collapse mountains and seas, and a Jade Purifier behind it. The bottle can swallow spirits and spit out flames."
"Not only that, the most powerful attack of this umbrella is called the soul-destroying divine light! As long as the person who is hit has a cultivation level not higher than that of the person who casts the spell, once the physical body is hit by the divine light, he will die! Of course, this The power of the treasure is huge, and it consumes a lot of mana when activated. The mana required to release the soul-destroying divine light once is equivalent to about 70% of the total mana of a first-level cultivator in the ordinary Void Refining Stage! Please pay attention to it if you are interested!"
Speaking of this, Fairy Ruyu finally slowed down a bit, and deliberately left some time for the many distinguished guests in the audience to reflect, and then continued: "The handle of this Beidou Xuanming Hunyuan Umbrella is It is made from rare materials such as Zhurong Crystal Essence and Star Meteor Sky Crystal. It is engraved with the mysterious spirit-gathering magic circle passed down from ancient times. After a long period of sacrifice, it is possible to further improve it and become a heaven-reaching spiritual treasure! Next, I Announcing the Beidou Xuanming Hunyuan Umbrella auction has begun! The base price is one million high-level spiritual stones, and each increase in price must not be less than fifty thousand spiritual stones. Please bid!"
Fairy Ruyu didn’t give everyone much time to think this time, but directly shouted out the lowest price!
"1500000!"
"two millions!"
"Two million and one million!"
"three million!"
"Four and a half million!"
…
Every time someone bids, a set of huge numbers will be displayed on the huge light screen behind the auction table. These numbers change so fast that it can even be dizzying.
In just a few breaths, Qu Wuming already knew why most of the supreme members belonged to sect forces.
The speed of the bids and the intensity of the increase seemed like what they were shouting was not the number of high-level spiritual stones, but just some insignificant numbers.
What does it mean to be wealthy? This is called being wealthy.
Qu Wuming's psychologically expected price had already been surpassed before he even had time to shout out.
With no other choice, Qu Wuming had no choice but to be a quiet spectator, his fingers gently clasping the auction table, until the price of the Beidou Xuanming Hunyuan Umbrella finally stopped at 11.65 million.
"Once in 11,650,000 times!"
"One hundred and sixty-five million times!"
"make a deal!"
The copper hammer in Fairy Ruyu's hand fell lightly, and then she sealed the Beidou Xuanming Hunyuan Umbrella back into the jade box, and delivered it to the winning bidder on the spot.
Qu Wuming looked at the red light curtain with some envy, and once again felt the huge gap between the casual cultivators and the sect's power. I couldn't help but sigh secretly: "I'm afraid that my harvest tonight is just the "Encyclopedia of Creatures in the Underworld", right?"
Thinking of this, Qu Wuming sighed lightly and put the jade slip into the Zifu space. With a thought, he called Qu Wushe, Qu Siqiu and Sword Spirit Xiao Yuan to one place and asked them to take it. Let’s study with the jade slips first…
Outside, the auction was still going on, but Qu Wuming had almost no interest in participating.
However, due to the rules of the auction, Qu Wuming had no way to leave early at the moment, so he just watched the excitement, took out a set of wine sets, a jar of fairy wine, and a plate of peanuts from the Zifu space, and poured himself a cup of peanuts. stand up.
"Master, I also want to come out and take a look, okay?" The voice of the sword spirit Xiao Yuan suddenly came from the consciousness.
"Okay, come out!" Qu Wuming thought in his mind, and a light flashed between his eyebrows. The sword spirit Xiao Yuan had turned into a white light and flew out. As before, he turned into a little person who was about an inch tall, sitting on the Touched Qu Wuming's shoulder.
Sword Spirit Xiao Yuan's two dangling calves seemed to be staring intently at the huge light curtain behind the auction table outside, and then she said in her unique soft and cute voice: "You are so happy to snatch up garbage of this level? You guys are here People are really ignorant..."
When Qu Wuming heard this, the muscles on his face couldn't help but twitch a few times. He sipped his wine and said, "So, do you have a new awakening memory?"
"That's not true." Sword Spirit Xiao Yuan shook his little head and said, "I haven't seen a scene that is enough to stimulate me. It seems that there won't be too many new memories. However, even if there are no new memories, these things are indeed It’s very rubbish.”
"You think it's rubbish, but here, these things are considered to be of the highest quality and highest grade."
"Master, there is no need to buy these rubbish, I am enough." Sword Spirit Xiao Yuan raised his head and said very confidently.
"Haha, of course I can be invincible with you!" Qu Wuming laughed, "It's just that you are good at attacking but not good at defending. Many magic weapons have their own special functions, and sometimes they cannot replace each other."
"Who said I'm good at attacking but not good at defending? That's because you don't know how to use it!" Sword Spirit Xiao Yuan seemed a little unconvinced.
"Oh? Then tell me, besides using Yuansha Sword to block, how can I use you to defend?" Qu Wuming raised his eyebrows and asked sideways.
"I remembered a set of sword skills not long ago that can be used for defense!" Sword Spirit Xiao Yuan said while looking at Qu Wuming's big face.
"You still have this kind of swordsmanship? How about showing it to me?"
"Okay!" Sword Spirit Xiao Yuan stood up, raised his little hand and pressed it on Qu Wuming's temple. After a moment, a sword formula appeared out of thin air in Qu Wuming's sea of consciousness. Qu Wuming couldn't help but close his eyes. I looked at it calmly.
""Sword Tide Overlapping Wave Jue"? One sword produces ten thousand swords, and ten thousand swords return to one sword; the sword's power is like a tidal wave, and the overlapping waves form ten thousand jun..."
"Ten swords are united into a small achievement, and the combat power is doubled. The sword is unparalleled; a hundred swords are united to a medium level, and ten can't be defeated by one; a thousand swords are united into a great achievement, invincible and proud of the heroes at the same level; ten thousand swords are united into a perfect one, holding Jian Si looked around at a loss... Haha, this sword formula actually has a limerick at the end? This is the first time I've seen someone write a limerick in a skill!" Qu Wuming roughly finished the sword formula and turned to look at the sword spirit Xiao Yuandao , "Whose sword technique is this? Is it really as powerful as you say?"
"I seem to remember..."
