Chapter 1659
Explosion
When the bidding price reached 26 million spirit crystals, Li Zhirui thought the intensity of the bidding would decrease significantly, but the price continued to rise rapidly.
The number of people participating in the auction decreased until the amount exceeded 35 million spirit crystals.
In the end, it was an unknown being who used 44 million spirit crystals to finally subdue the Soul-Sucking Flower!
"Forty million spirit crystals..."
A creature beside Li Zhirui couldn't help but sigh, "I'm afraid I could never produce that many spirit crystals in my entire life."
He wasn't the only one with this thought; many other beings shared it and were deeply affected.
Fortunately, the Soul-Sucking Flower was just an opening item in the auction, highlighting its difference from ordinary auctions, but it didn't mean that all the items that followed would be so precious.
Therefore, starting from the second item up for auction, they are all spiritual items of the Celestial Immortal rank.
"The next spiritual item is extraordinary. It can greatly increase the probability of breaking through to the Celestial Immortal realm. It is called the Earth Immortal Breakthrough Pill. There are only five in total, and they will be auctioned separately..." Qiancang's enthusiastic voice rang out again.
Li Zhirui glanced at the pills with some curiosity. He didn't want to bid on them, but rather because these pills, like the Creation Heavenly Pill he possessed, were breakthrough pills that helped people break through to the Celestial Immortal realm.
However, the difference between the two types of pills is still quite large. One has only a probability of about 20%, while the other can greatly improve the chances of success.
If he were willing to invest time and effort to further refine the Creation Heavenly Pill, he might be able to increase the chances by another 10% or 20%.
But he is all alone now. Even if he manages to refine it, who can he give it to?
Therefore, Li Zhirui merely watched coldly, but his disdain for these pills did not mean that others did as well.
In a short time, many creatures entered the auction to bid.
After all, many beings present have disciples and juniors who have not yet broken through to the Celestial Immortal realm, so it is natural to consider their needs.
The atmosphere at the event was quite intense, and the prices weren't low either.
If Li Zhirui intends to stay in the Chaos Merchant Guild, he can earn a lot of spirit crystals by selling Creation Heavenly Pills.
Unfortunately, he didn't have that idea.
The Chaos Merchant Guild is good, but compared to the entire void, it is still too small and cannot contain his great ambition!
at the same time.
The auction is still in full swing. Every time Qiancang brings out a spiritual item, it attracts many creatures to bid, and the atmosphere at the scene is very lively.
Since the spiritual items being auctioned are all celestial spiritual items, and none of them are particularly precious or have special uses, Li Zhirui has not yet made a bid.
There are quite a few people like him who seem to be traveling outside the auction house.
Either their cultivation level is too high to look down on these spiritual objects; or they have no use for them; or they already have a target in mind and are just waiting for that spiritual object to appear.
Li Zhirui only joined the auction when he saw the twenty-ninth item.
Because this is a celestial-grade purifying spiritual object!
"It seems that none of you have had any contact with the Purification Law, and your understanding of it is very superficial. But it is actually a rather extraordinary law."
"This treasure is the same. If you have accumulated a lot of evil and filth in your body, which is hindering your cultivation, then after refining this treasure, you will have the hope of making further progress!"
After a pause, Qiancang added, "Of course, because the spiritual item is not of a high grade, it is not as effective for beings above the Xuanxian level. The starting bid is 200,000 spirit crystals."
"Eight hundred thousand spirit crystals!"
As soon as the other party finished speaking, Li Zhirui immediately raised the price several times over.
The reason he was willing to spend so many spirit crystals was because he realized that the purification laws contained in the spirit objects were something he had not yet mastered!
Eight hundred thousand spirit crystals can be used to further improve one's own laws and enhance one's realm. No matter how you look at it, it's a very worthwhile deal!
Some creatures that were initially eager to participate immediately fell silent upon hearing the price and chose to give up.
For a celestial-level spiritual item, this price is already extremely high.
It's impossible to demand a higher price just to annoy the other party, because you can't be sure if they will still bid. If they give up, you'll have to pay nearly a million spirit crystals yourself.
Many celestial beings simply cannot afford such a large sum of money.
Thus, Li Zhirui easily acquired this purifying artifact.
Of course, if it weren't for Qianzang's last words, the bidding beings wouldn't just be limited to the Celestial Immortal Realm; probably many Profound Immortals and Golden Immortals would have participated as well.
Therefore, it would be impossible for him to take it down so easily.
As for why Li Zhirui, this mystical immortal, would bid on a celestial artifact that would have little effect on him, no one cared, and it was unlikely to cause the slightest ripple.
The auction continued, and one precious spiritual item after another appeared before the crowd.
Even if you're not bidding for the magical items, just watching them live is a feast for the eyes and an eye-opener.
Every spiritual item that is taken out into the outside world can cause quite a stir, but in the auction house, it seems to be worthless.
The quality of spiritual objects also gradually upgrades from the Celestial Immortal Rank to the Upper Grade of the Profound Immortal Rank, and then to the Supreme Grade.
And it was at this time that Li Zhirui's target for the auction—the Void Spirit Wood—appeared!
"Everyone, this is a rather rare dual-law chaotic spiritual object, formed by the intertwining of the laws of space and wood. It is extremely rare and precious. Whether used to comprehend the laws or to refine magical treasures, it is an excellent spiritual object!"
Even after introducing dozens of spiritual items, Qiancang remained enthusiastic, loudly proclaiming, "Starting bid: three million spirit crystals!"
Upon hearing the price, Li Zhirui's face showed surprise, because the starting price alone exceeded the total price of all the auxiliary spiritual items he had previously needed to refine the treasure.
But thinking about it, it seems quite normal.
This is a top-grade spiritual object of the Xuanxian level, governed by spatial laws; it cannot be compared to ordinary spiritual objects.
If we really want to acquire the Void Spirit Tree, three million spirit crystals are definitely far from enough.
really!
No sooner had Chizan finished speaking than someone called out a bid, adding 1.5 million spirit crystals.
Immediately afterwards, the price jumped to five million.
Upon hearing the price, Li Zhirui couldn't help but frown.
Is it worth spending millions of spirit crystals just to upgrade a high-grade flying magic weapon to a top-grade one?
But just as he hesitated, the price had already broken through six million and was approaching seven million spirit crystals. Moreover, the competition was extremely fierce, with several forces refusing to give way to each other, all wanting to get their hands on the Void Spirit Wood.
Seeing this, Li Zhirui had no choice but to give up and stop considering whether it was worth it.
The price was far beyond his expectations. He originally thought he could acquire it for around five million, but who would have thought it would cost so much more?
In the end, he could only watch helplessly as someone acquired the Void Spirit Wood for 7.3 million spirit crystals.
This exorbitant price has sparked considerable discussion.
Because it already far exceeds the price of a top-grade Xuanxian spiritual item, it's not worth it even if it contains spatial laws!
Several factions have been vying for it. "Could this be something other than a simple Void Spirit Wood? Or does it hold some other secret?" one being speculated.
"I don't think it's likely either of those scenarios. You know, this went through the Chaos Merchant Guild. If something was really wrong, how could they not have noticed?"
"Then why are they spending so many spirit crystals to bid for this spiritual item? Are they just wasting their money?"
There was a lot of discussion, but neither the Chaos Merchant Guild nor the force that won the bid for the spiritual item said anything.
Li Zhirui observed it carefully, but he didn't even recognize the Void Spirit Wood, so how could he possibly see the problem? So after watching for a while, he withdrew his gaze.
Although his goal of purchasing the Void Spirit Wood had failed, he was not in a hurry to leave. Putting aside everything else, it would be good to stay inside and broaden his horizons.
Immediately afterwards, several more top-grade Xuanxian level spiritual items were presented.
However, the prices of these spiritual items are more normal.
However, it was of no use to Li Zhirui's cultivation, so he did not bid and quietly remained an observer.
Then came the auction time for the Golden Immortal-level spiritual items!
Every single magical artifact he encountered broadened his horizons, and he had no regrets about the trip.
During this period, he also tried to acquire a spiritual item based on the Water and Wood Laws, but the price was too high, so Li Zhirui eventually gave up on it.
"Only five spiritual items remain in this auction!"
Qiancang's voice became more excited than ever before, and he said loudly, "Every single one of them is a top-grade Taiyi level spiritual item! Their rarity is no less than that of the Soul-Absorbing Flower."
The crowd was stunned for a moment, then erupted in a deafening roar of exclamations.
No one expected the Chaos Merchant Guild to be so generous this time!
"The first treasure is the Myriad Manifestations Ferry Bamboo! Magic weapons forged from this treasure have the characteristic of restraining various cultivation paths. In battle, it can weaken the opponent's strength and gain a greater advantage for oneself."
"The second spiritual object, the Rebirth and Soul Protection Pearl, once refined, will immediately unravel the mysteries of the womb and restore all memories upon successful reincarnation!"
"The third spiritual item is the Soul Cleansing and Body Purification. This item can not only cleanse the impurities and laws in the soul, but also thoroughly purify the physical body, making oneself purer while enhancing one's aptitude and foundation."
"The fourth spiritual item is the Six Heavens Divine Thunder. This item needs no further explanation; in short, it is one of the most powerful attack methods for Taiyi Golden Immortals!"
"The last spiritual item: the Great Void Bodhi Fruit. After consuming this fruit, one can possess a Bodhi Heart within three thousand years, thereby greatly enhancing one's comprehension. It can be said to be an excellent auxiliary spiritual item for breaking through to higher realms."
Chizō finished introducing all five spiritual items in one breath, and the scene became completely quiet, as if even breathing had disappeared.
Everyone was so shocked by the Chaos Merchant Guild's arrogance that they were speechless.
Each of these five spiritual items can be considered a treasure, something that ordinary forces would never be willing to sell. Yet, this person brought out all five at once!
"The first item to be auctioned is the Myriad Immortal Bamboo, with a starting price of fifty million spirit crystals!"
Faced with spiritual objects of this caliber, many beings, including Li Zhirui, were not even qualified to participate, because the price was too high.
It could even be said that it was incredibly lucky for them to even see it.
However, this does not mean that there were no bidders; on the contrary, the bidding process was still very intense.
The only bidders were the few powerful entities sitting at the very top.
Soon, the Myriad Manifestations Ferry Bamboo was acquired for 79 million spirit crystals.
But this is just the beginning!
Because the prices of the following spiritual items are getting more and more expensive.
The Soul-Protecting Pearl was auctioned for 85 million spirit crystals, and the Soul-Cleansing and Body-Purifying Pearl was auctioned for 91 million spirit crystals.
The price of the Six Heavens Divine Thunder has exceeded one hundred million spirit crystals!
As for the most precious Taixu Bodhi Fruit, it reached a sky-high price of 130 million spirit crystals.
With a deafening roar, the auction hall erupted as most of the creatures were utterly shocked upon hearing the price.
"One hundred and thirty million..."
One of the creatures couldn't help but ask, "Does this really exist?"
"That's an exaggeration."
Li Zhirui murmured softly.
He has been to many auctions, but this is definitely the first time he has ever been to one of this scale.
Five top-grade spiritual items of the Taiyi level, and each one is extremely rare and precious.
He originally thought that having 10 to 20 million spirit crystals was a lot, but now it seems that he was like a frog in a well, unaware of how big the sky really is.
"Today's auction has come to an end! Thank you all for your enthusiastic participation."
After saying this, he bowed slightly to show his gratitude.
Then, Chizan added, "The next hour is reserved for everyone to trade freely. The Chamber of Commerce will keep a close watch during this time, and there will absolutely be no forced buying or selling."
This is what distinguishes it from ordinary auctions.
After the final spiritual item is auctioned off, all living beings will be allowed to trade within the venue.
He then turned and left the auction stage, as he was no longer needed to preside over the auction.
However, many creatures got up and left immediately. They either didn't have any valuable spiritual items to offer, or they had previously bid on spiritual items and planned to come back to participate after exchanging them.
Li Zhirui, however, chose to stay out of curiosity.
At the same time, I also want to try to see if I can exchange some of the spiritual items I have for spiritual items that are more suitable for me, even if it's a little late and I lose money.
Therefore, when the free trade began, he wandered around, looking for any spiritual items he might need.
At the same time, they also wrote down the spiritual objects they owned, so that any creatures that took a liking to them could come and talk to them.
……
at the same time.
Inside a private room on the fifth floor.
Unlike the main halls on the first and second floors, which only have the simplest chairs, this place is not only extremely spacious, but also allows for easy adjustment of the environment. In addition, there are high-grade spiritual teas, spiritual wines, and spiritual fruits available to entertain guests.
Of course, the requirements for entering such a private room are very high, such as having the Taiyi realm and more than 100 million spirit crystals.
“Grandfather, I want to stay and participate in the free trade fair,” a celestial cultivator suddenly said.
"Go."
The Taiyi Golden Immortal didn't care about this; they weren't in a hurry to leave anyway. (End of Chapter)
