Chapter 379 Sky-high auction
"The twelfth item to be auctioned is a Golden Rainbow Sword Talisman, left behind by the former Golden Core Elder of the Four Symbols Taoist Temple. The starting price is 1000 Spiritual Stones, and each bid must be no less than 100 Spiritual Stones."

"1100 spirit stones."

"1200."

"1400 Spiritual Stones"

"."

With the warm-up of many treasures earlier, the atmosphere of the auction gradually became heated.

Things like talismans may have little value to Zhong Lixiao now, but they are very valuable to ordinary cultivators.

It can even be treated as a family heirloom, and if used well, it can even bring prosperity to a small family.

In the end, this Golden Rainbow Sword Talisman was sold for 2300 low-grade spirit stones.

And ever since this talisman appeared, the value of the auction items has skyrocketed.

"Now the thirteenth treasure is up for auction. This treasure is the original volume of the Four Symbols Taoist Gu Vein, 'Gu Shen Jing'."

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, there was an uproar at the scene.

"What? 'The Gu Nerve' can also be auctioned? If I remember correctly, there was a saint in the Four Symbols Taoist Temple who was famous for this skill. She killed people without them even noticing. It is said that she also used the love Gu to control many lovers in bed, making them completely devoted to her."

"You're selling this kind of secret scroll? Could it be fake?"

"The Fire Vein of the Four Symbols Taoist Palace has completely torn its face with the Gu Vein. Tsk tsk, if Zang Yuanchang were alive, he would probably be angered to death by these unfilial descendants of his!"

"Is it really possible to cultivate? If the Gu Vein finds out, will it hunt me all over the world?"

"I suspect Huomai is using a knife to kill someone."

It was because "Gu Shen Jing" was too famous. While everyone present was discussing it, they couldn't help but suspect that the scripture was fake, or that it was simply a conspiracy to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

Even so, there were still many people at the venue who were interested in this sutra.

"The 'Gu Shen Jing' scroll being auctioned here is a fragment. It can probably only be cultivated to the Golden Core stage. The auction is now open. The starting price is 5000 spirit stones. Each bid must be no less than 500 spirit stones."

After learning that it was a fragment of the scroll, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became cold.

You can only cultivate to the Golden Core Stage, and you may also face the pursuit of the original Four Symbols Taoist Palace Gu Vein. The risk and reward are totally disproportionate.

But no matter what, a martial arts method that can directly lead to the Golden Core Stage is still quite attractive.

In the end, this volume of "Gu Shenjing" was bought by a mysterious person for 14500 spirit stones.

Afterwards, the atmosphere of the auction became more and more lively.

There was even an auction of a Dust-Reducing Pill that could help cultivators form elixirs, and the entire venue was in a state of excitement.

Not to mention cultivators like Xue Jingliang and Prince Bao who have not yet reached the Dan stage, even cultivators like Yu Yunmu who have already reached the Dan stage are very tempted.

Precious pills like the Dust-Suppressing Pill, which can help one break through the cultivation level, are always in high demand.

As many wealthy people made bids, the Dust-Reducing Pill was finally sold at a high price of 50 spirit stones.

Even Yu Yunmu had no choice but to give up in the end.

It’s not that with his status, he can’t even come up with 500,000 spirit stones, but this price is far higher than the offer within Baiyun Temple.

From this perspective, we can also see how difficult it is for a casual cultivator to form a pill.

Just for such a pill, not only would one have to spend all one's life's wealth, but one would also most likely have to gamble the accumulation of a family or even a sect over the years.

And this is most likely one of the common methods used by big forces to exploit small sects and small forces!

of course.

This is also a microcosm of the current general surge in the value of natural materials and treasures.

Subsequently, the auction launched several heavyweight items.

For example, a piece of armor that was originally created with great effort by a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Although it is incomplete, its value is still very high, which has attracted many wealthy customers to rush to buy it.

But the heat and impact brought by this precious armor are far less than that of the Dust-Reducing Pill.

Even so, this piece of armor was sold at a high price of nearly 400,000 spirit stones.

Then, some treasures that were quite characteristic of the southern Xinjiang cultivation world were introduced at the auction.

for example.

Gu insect.

Tinder.

Alien beast eggs.

A barbaric weapon used by the ancient barbarian god.

The magical rice grown in the Sixiang Taoist Temple in the past.

In a short period of time, everyone was dazzled.

Even Zhong Lixiao was quite tempted, and finally understood what it meant to "a lean camel is bigger than a horse."

Although the Suzaku Sect was only a branch of the Four Symbols Taoist Palace in the past and had suffered quite severe damage, it still more or less inherited a lot of the Four Symbols Taoist Palace's heritage.

Although Zhong Lixiao did not make any moves, Yu Yunmu and Xiang Xueer who were accompanying him successfully bought the treasures they desired.

He is extremely wealthy!

time flies.

The auction was soon coming to an end, and everyone was looking forward to it. They all wanted to see the Taoist items left behind by Zang Yuanchang, the Palace Master of the Four Symbols Taoist Palace.

"The next item to be auctioned is the second to last treasure in this auction. It is also the most valuable treasure besides Dao Ran's item."

As soon as the host finished speaking, the audience's eyes suddenly became eager.

After keeping the audience in suspense for a long time, the host finally took out a very exquisitely carved jade artifact.

It looks like it is carved from some kind of fairy jade, and its specific style is somewhat similar to a jade pendant.

The moment he saw the jade pendant, Zhong Lixiao was suddenly moved.

Because he felt a sense of familiarity from the jade pendant, after a brief recollection, Zhong Lixiao suddenly realized.

Because he thought of the feeling when he obtained the Azure Dragon symbol condensed by Qianren Hall in the past!

The ultimate temptation, but also represents the ultimate power.

At the beginning, Zuo Daoxian of Qianren Hall used the symbol of the Azure Dragon to almost wipe out a large number of young talents in Baiyun Temple.

In the end, he was very unlucky to meet Zhong Lixiao, which caused him to die before his business venture was halfway completed.

Could it be that this jade pendant contains the symbol of the Azure Dragon that was condensed by the Four Symbols Taoist Palace in the past?
Then, the host said loudly, "This jade pendant was once the symbol of the Azure Dragon in the Four Symbols Taoist Temple."

"You may have heard that the Four Symbols Dao Palace was almost the first immortal sect to explicitly propose competing for the Four Symbols."

"Not only that, the Four Symbols Dao Palace is also the first sect in the world of immortal cultivation to achieve the Four Symbols Dao. Although it failed and perished, the Azure Dragon symbol has more or less witnessed something, and even gave birth to a very good spirituality."

"If it is refined into a magic weapon, it will be better than the ordinary monster spirit, with higher spirituality, and the chance of transforming into a celestial magic treasure in the future will also be greatly increased."

As soon as the host finished speaking, there was an uproar at the auction site.

The symbol of the Azure Dragon that was personally cultivated by the Four Symbols Taoist Temple in the past?
This thing is also being auctioned?!
Could it be a fraud?
Although the destruction of Qianren Hall by Baiyun Temple happened many years ago, it is definitely a landmark event that will be recorded in the history of the world of immortal cultivation.

Because Zuo Daoxian, an outstanding disciple of Qianren Hall, showed the world the power of the Azure Dragon symbol for the first time.

It also clearly tells the world why all the major immortal sects must achieve enlightenment and why they must compete for various numerical symbols.

If we say that the highest level of enlightenment is achieved, the core is the sect's highest combat power, which is equivalent to the current enlightenment.

Then the fight for various numerical symbols is more about the future of the disciples of the major sects.

Take Zuo Daoxian for example, he may not have achieved the highest level of the Dao Mountain, but he can integrate the symbol of the Azure Dragon.

But later on, the Kitchen God, the Lord of Nectar, and even the current Geomancer, all achieved enlightenment alone.

It seems that the matter of preaching the truth is separated from the matter of competing for numerical symbols.

But even so, people still do not underestimate the importance of various symbols.

Especially for ordinary independent cultivators, the symbols are exclusive to large sects. Not to mention fighting for them, they would be guilty of even thinking about it.

But I never thought that Suzaku Gate would auction such a treasure.

This guy is really a prodigal son who sells his father's land without feeling any pain.
However, being a prodigal son is good. If the Suzaku Sect were not a prodigal son, they would not be qualified to take a glimpse of the symbol of the Azure Dragon.

The host on the stage made repeated hand seals and gestures, and then performed one hand seal after another. Suddenly, dazzling rays of light appeared on the jade pendant, and the sound of dragon roars was heard, attracting everyone's attention.

Then, a green dragon suddenly jumped out from the jade pendant.

As soon as the Azure Dragon appeared, the entire auction hall was suddenly filled with spring, and everyone felt unusually comfortable.

His eyes became particularly hot because of this!
But soon, everyone felt something was wrong.

The green dragon's body was broken, and its body was covered with blackened marks from lightning, with a large number of dragon scales peeling off.

The dragon, representing the symbol of the Azure Dragon, also appears unusually lethargic.

If it were just that, it would be fine, but the green dragon's body is "leaking" all the time.

The spring vitality they just felt was not the ability of the Azure Dragon itself, but the essence that was continuously leaked out because it was seriously injured.

In other words, once they bought the Azure Dragon symbol, they would have no choice but to watch it gradually weaken and eventually die.

Taking investment as an example, this is destined to be an investment that will continue to lose money after it is started.

Everyone present calmed down, and some of those with hot tempers even started cursing immediately.

The host was somewhat embarrassed, but her thick skin and psychological strength, acquired through years of experience, allowed her to keep smiling and continue selling.

"Although this Azure Dragon symbol is already half-dead and continues to weaken, you should know that it is a powerful helper accompanying the Four Symbols Taoist Palace Master, Venerable Yuan Chang, in his journey to attain enlightenment and overcome tribulations."

"Although the path has not yet been completed, this Azure Dragon symbolizes the existence that accompanied the old Palace Master in taking that half step. His spirituality has greatly increased."

"Let's not talk about anything else, just the thunder on its body, if a fellow Taoist practices thunder magic, maybe he can comprehend the thunder of heaven and earth from it."

The host was rudely interrupted before he could finish his speech.

"Stop the nonsense. If we could truly comprehend the Tribulation Thunder through this symbol, would this broken Azure Dragon still be here? Don't tell us that before the Four Symbols Dao Palace collapsed, there weren't experts who repeatedly studied it."

"That's right, that's right. The Four Symbols Taoist Palace was once a long-standing immortal sect with countless experts. You haven't researched anything yet. Now you're putting it up for auction and recommending that we research tribulation lightning. Isn't this just fooling around?"

Seeing the discontent brewing in the audience and the Azure Dragon symbol's tendency to fail, the host quickly made up for it, "Perhaps it is indeed impossible to research the power of thunder, but the spirituality of the Azure Dragon symbol is beyond reproach."

"Fellow Daoists who need to refine spiritual treasures, if you miss this opportunity now, will you be able to find a more suitable dragon-shaped demon beast essence in the future?"

As soon as the host said this, the scene suddenly became quiet and many people were thinking.

The essence of a dragon-shaped demon beast required that the beast possess some dragon blood. However, with the disappearance of all true dragons, the number of dragon bloodlines left in the world has been decreasing.

Either the monster has reached a certain level and its bloodline has returned to its ancestral state, gradually transforming into a dragon, or it really has some dragon blood in its body.

But no matter which one it is, it is extremely rare.

As an ancient dominant race, the dragon clan is the true ancestor of all monsters, and the dragon body is naturally in harmony with the Tao.

As long as the dragon spirit is used as the spirit of a spiritual treasure, there is a high probability that the treasure will gain one or two very powerful magical powers in the later stages.
Unlike using the Azure Dragon symbol to comprehend the power of thunder, refining this symbol as essence into a magic weapon means there is no need to worry about the Azure Dragon symbol dissipating.

Because even if it is the spirit of a monster, what is essentially taken is its true form and a trace of spirituality.

Theoretically, it is possible.

But after all, no one in history has ever used symbols to refine treasures, and there is no precedent for whether it can be successful. The risk is extremely high.

Seeing that the enthusiasm was fading, but most people were still thinking, the host immediately stepped up his sales pitch.

"Everyone should think clearly. If nothing unexpected happens, this will be the only symbol sold to the outside world."

"If I win the bet, I will definitely make a fortune."

"The starting price is 100,000 high-grade spirit stones. Each bid must be at least 10,000 high-grade spirit stones. Everyone can bid now."

As soon as the host finished speaking, the scene fell into silence.

The starting price is one hundred thousand. Top-grade spirit stones?

My goodness, isn’t this just ten billion low-grade spirit stones?
This is so cruel!
Not only is it expensive, but it also requires only top-grade spirit stones. Who can afford it?
To be honest, even Zhong Lixiao couldn't help but gasp.

After many transformations of the gods and generous donations to the Earth Master Palace, he used to feel that he was quite rich, but now when he went to the auction house, he found that the money he had was really not enough.

However, Zhong Lixiao agreed with one of the host's words.

This blue dragon symbol may really be a symbol that is rarely seen in the world. If you miss this opportunity, you may never see it again.

In addition, Zhong Lixiao was also considering the possibility of nurturing this symbol with the cosmic Xiyi realm within his body.

If it succeeds, then the Xiyi realm in his body might be able to form a powerful Wood Virtue world.

But all this is just speculation after all, and the starting price is really too high.

While Zhong Lixiao was thinking, the auction hall was silent.

Obviously, everyone was shocked by the sky-high price of 1 billion low-grade spirit stones.

The host was somewhat anxious. If the treasure failed to sell, she would lose a lot of commission!

"Is there really no fellow Taoist who would like to consider this?"

After a long silence, the host asked the question again passionately.

Unfortunately, the host is still the only one performing a one-man show.

After the host asked for the third time, still no one answered. The waiter who was striking the hammer had no choice but to raise the hammer in his hand and intend to strike the gong, announcing that the blue dragon symbolized a failure to sell.

And at this moment, Zhong Lixiao finally spoke.

"10 high-grade spiritual stones."

It was exactly the starting price, without adding a single spirit stone.

Even so, Zhong Lixiao immediately became the most handsome guy in the audience.

However, in everyone's eyes, Zhong Lixiao was actually the old Taoist holding a big gourd, cosplaying as Sun Wukong holding the Heaven-Covering Gourd.

Everyone felt extremely unfamiliar and didn't know which senior he was.

But seeing Zhong Lixiao sitting in the most ordinary chair, some monks couldn't help but look at him with teasing and scrutiny.

This auction event is hosted by the Suzaku Sect, so ordinary cultivators naturally don't have the courage to cause trouble.

But if it was from other branches of the original Four Symbols Taoist Palace, or some other desperate criminals, it would not be impossible!
Of course, in the eyes of some monks with ulterior motives, it seems that a potential big fat sheep has appeared.
The host was immediately overjoyed and quickly asked loudly, "A distinguished guest has offered 100,000 high-grade spirit stones. Are there any other distinguished guests who would like to bid?"

"This was left by Venerable Yuan Chang to accompany him on his path to enlightenment. If you miss this opportunity, you will never see this shop again."

"One hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones once."

"One hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones twice, are there any other distinguished guests who want to increase the price?"

Just when Zhong Lixiao thought that he could get it with just 100,000 high-quality spirit stones, something unexpected happened.

A slow voice sounded from the VIP area, "One hundred and one hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones."

Zhong Lixiao was speechless when he heard this.

If he hadn't bid for it, it would have gone unsold. But as soon as he bid for it, someone actually snatched it away from him.

Is this a dog?

Zhong Lixiao had no idea that although the big guys in the VIP area were rich, their money didn't come from the wind.

What’s more, it’s a sky-high price of one hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones!

They didn't bid before because no one at the scene bid, and most of the rich people didn't know what to do!

As soon as Zhong Lixiao made a bid, some bigwigs immediately became interested and wondered if Zhong Lixiao had seen something.

What if I really can find a bargain?
Seeing that two people had made bids one after another, other bigwigs in the VIP area also spoke up.

"One hundred and twenty thousand high-grade spiritual stones."

"130,000 high-quality spirit stones."

"One hundred and four hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones."

"."

In a short period of time, the value of the Azure Dragon symbol was raised to 200,000 high-quality spirit stones, doubling the price.

After hearing this, Zhong Lixiao even had the urge to vomit blood.

Damn, are all these monks in southern Xinjiang so rich?

Two hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones is the limit that Zhong Lixiao can accept.

If he can't get it again, Zhong Lixiao will have no choice but to give up.

"Two hundred and one thousand high-grade spirit stones."

Upon hearing this, the host's face flushed and his body and mind seemed to be flying.

She originally thought that the item would fail to sell, but she didn't expect it to be sold at such a high price!
With the commission alone, she might be able to buy a top-grade cave from her teachers this time, and she might even be able to use the remaining money to buy an advanced pill.

At this moment, she looked at Zhong Lixiao again. He was not an old man with an immortal look sitting in the ordinary area, but her father, her biological father!

At this moment, Zhong Lixiao has become the focus of the focus.

Even some heavyweights in the VIP area could not help but remain silent at this moment.

When they looked at Zhong Lixiao again, they felt that this old man holding the big gourd was shining all over.

Looking more closely, the dazzling light clearly showed the words "money is justice", "tycoon", and "rich".
Everyone was convinced.

The host shouted excitedly three times, and with the heavy fall of the hammer, the highest transaction volume in Zhuhuo Palace was completed.

Seeing this, Zhong Lixiao finally felt relieved.

Finally, they succeeded in taking the photo. All the wealth earned by the Geomancer Palace and his group through life and death was almost used up.

I hope this blue dragon symbol won’t disappoint him!

The enthusiasm for the Azure Dragon symbol auction had not yet completely subsided, and the entire auction became frenzy again.

Because not long ago, the beautiful and sweet-talking host left the auction stage, and was replaced by a man in red clothes who looked quite thin.

But as soon as this person appeared, the entire venue immediately became more solemn than ever before.

Everyone knew that the real main course of the event was about to be served.

Because this person is none other than the Grand Elder of the Suzaku Sect, the only great cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage of the Suzaku Sect. The Great Sky Fire is blazing in the sky.

Yankong is his Taoist name, and Huozheng is his position in the Four Symbols Taoist Palace in the past.

Only the one with the highest status among the Fire Officials can receive this honor.

Adding a "big" means that after the collapse of the Four Symbols Taoist Palace, Yan Kong turned the tide and guarded most of the inheritance of the Four Symbols Taoist Palace's fire veins. This was the "extra title" he received after being recognized by many disciples.

Strictly speaking, there is one thing: the collapse of rituals and the decline of music.

But it can also be reflected from the side that Yankong Tianhuo Zheng is indeed extraordinary!
Yan Kong looked at everyone in the room and said straight to the point, "As the orthodox descendant of the Four Symbols Dao Palace, even if our sect gave up everything, we should protect the relics of the Venerable. Unfortunately, my virtue is shallow and my strength is low. I really don't have the ability to protect the Venerable's precious relics."

After hearing what Yankong Tianhuozheng said, many people present couldn't help but want to laugh.

He is also the orthodox successor of the Four Symbols Taoist Temple. This statement can really flatter himself.

If the other branches of the Four Symbols Taoist Palace heard this, they would definitely beat them to death.

However, everyone present was well-mannered and could hold back their laughter no matter how funny the scene was.

After Yankong Tianhuo finished talking about the sadness of his sect and how he had to be an unfilial descendant, the last and most impressive piece of the collection appeared before everyone, like a half-hidden lute.

It was an extremely valuable box, made of some unknown sacred wood. As soon as it appeared, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

pat!

After Yankong erased the seal on the box, the box popped open.

A ray of light suddenly dazzled everyone's eyes!
In a trance, everyone could even see the shadows of Vermillion Bird, Azure Dragon, White Tiger and Black Tortoise soaring above the auction site, as if they were about to reorder the earth, water, wind and fire.

Zhong Lixiao was also shocked when he saw this.

After eliminating all illusions, he finally saw clearly what was inside the box.

It was a piece of finger bone, very small, about one-third the size of a little finger.

But the vision it presents is extremely extraordinary.

When Zhong Lixiao saw this piece of finger bone, he suddenly felt a sense of familiarity. Daohua!

At that time, he was in the Geomancer's Palace, and he followed the Geomancer to travel the Great Avenue because the Geomancer was attaining enlightenment. His eyes, arms, legs, and even his heart showed very serious Tao-transforming phenomena.

If it weren't for the timely warning from the geomancer, he might have completely become a Taoist.

By looking at this piece of finger bone, one can judge that Zang Yuanchang, the master of the Four Symbols Taoist Palace, had indeed failed in his attempt to attain enlightenment, and he was even unable to leave behind the land of Dao Ran, but he did not achieve nothing.

At least the upper part of the body was successfully transformed!
From this perspective, we can also see that if we want to complete the path to enlightenment, perhaps the first step is to transform part of our body into Taoism.

A small piece of finger bone is indeed of extraordinary value!
At this moment, extremely powerful auras suddenly swept across the entire venue, and everyone present changed their expressions and trembled.

Even Zhong Lixiao's expression became extremely solemn at this moment!
