Shenwu Yutianlei

Chapter 277 The auction begins

Liu Chong smiled and opened the brocade box gracefully with both hands. Instantly, a rich fragrance escaped from the brocade box and quickly spread throughout the auction hall. Everyone looked closely and saw a round pill inside. The pill was light blue in color, and its surface was as smooth as jade, gleaming with a soft luster. A faint fragrance and spiritual power fluctuations lingered around the pill. The spiritual power was like a substance, forming circles of ripples that seemed to appear and disappear, allowing the monks present to clearly feel the powerful power contained in it.

"First of all, our first lot is a 'Yang Yuan Dan'." Liu Chong raised his arms slightly and raised his voice. His unique voice was very penetrating, as if carrying an invisible force, and it echoed clearly in every corner of the auction hall. "This pill was made by Master Dan Yangzi, a highly respected and famous alchemist in our Liuyun City. You should know that Master Dan Yangzi's alchemy attainments have reached the pinnacle, and this Yang Yuan Dan is his meticulous work. It is the best among the second-level pills. For cultivators in the foundation-building stage, this Yang Yuan Dan has an excellent auxiliary effect in cultivation. Once taken, it can greatly speed up the absorption of spiritual power, allowing spiritual power to gather continuously like a gurgling stream, thereby increasing the speed of cultivation. It is indeed a great help in the process of cultivation. Starting price, one hundred medium-grade spirit stones." As soon as Liu Chong finished speaking, the bidders in the audience became restless. The originally quiet scene suddenly became a little agitated, and flames of desire and expectation ignited in everyone's eyes.

A young man in brocade clothes who was at the third stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm and sitting in the front row was the first to raise the sign in his hand. His eyes were burning and his face was full of anxiety. He shouted loudly: "One hundred and twenty mid-grade spirit stones!" Then, a gray-robed monk next to him was not to be outdone. He frowned, his eyes flashing with a determined light, and immediately made a bid: "One hundred and fifty mid-grade spirit stones!" Then, a bald man slammed the table hard, veins bulging on his forehead, and shouted loudly: "One hundred and eighty mid-grade spirit stones!" The price continued to rise, and the bidders shouted one after another. The voices intertwined, making the atmosphere in the auction hall instantly become extremely hot.

In the VIP room, Lin Ruyi looked at the lively scene below the stage with curiosity. Her big, lively eyes sparkled with excitement. Her cherry-like mouth opened slightly as she said to Shen Yun, "Brother Yun, what do you think the price of this Yang Yuan Pill will be in the end?" Her voice was clear and pleasant, like a yellow oriole singing in a valley. Shen Yun smiled slightly, with a beautiful arc on the corner of his mouth, and a hint of calmness and composure in his eyes, "Just wait and see."

The atmosphere at the auction was extremely heated. While everyone was bidding enthusiastically for the Yang Yuan Pill, Shen Yun and Lin Ruyi in the VIP room seemed to be lacking interest.

The Yang Yuan Pill cannot directly improve the cultivation of the cultivators. It can only help to speed up the absorption of spiritual power and increase the speed of cultivation. For cultivators who are bent on improving their strength quickly, it may be attractive, but for Shen Yun and Lin Ruyi, such an effect is really hard to arouse their interest.

There are many ways for the two of them to obtain the Yang Yuan Pill. The simplest way is to exchange it with points inside the Royal Academy. And the price of points exchange is much lower than the price outside.

Although the price of Yang Yuan Dan has been rising in the outside world, and countless people are bidding frantically for it, in the Royal Academy, as long as you have enough points, you can have as many Yang Yuan Dan as you want. The Academy has a very rich reserve of elixirs, and there are abundant quantities of second-level elixirs such as Yang Yuan Dan. Therefore, Shen Yun and Lin Ruyi really have no interest in the Yang Yuan Dan at the auction. They just watch the progress of the auction boredly, waiting for the treasures that may appear in the future that will really make them excited.

As the bidders competed fiercely, the price soared. The young man in brocade gritted his teeth and raised the sign again. His face flushed red and he shouted loudly: "Two hundred and eighty medium-grade spirit stones!" However, this did not scare off other competitors. In the end, after a fierce bidding, the Yang Yuan Pill was finally bought by a young monk at the price of three hundred medium-grade spirit stones. The monk was dressed in a green shirt, with a handsome face and a look of joy and satisfaction in his eyes. He walked up to the stage, handed over the spirit stones and took away the Yang Yuan Pill in the envious eyes of everyone.

Liu Chong then waved his hand to signal the maid to show the second item. He was holding an ancient book with yellowed pages and worn edges in both hands. It was a incomplete martial arts manual.

Liu Chong cleared his throat and introduced solemnly: "Dear guests, the next lot is not ordinary. This martial arts book is said to be obtained from a mysterious ancient relic. The erosion of time has left it incomplete, and only the practice method of the Jindan realm has been preserved. We named it "Lotus Sword Art". Think about it, the preciousness of a martial arts book that can be born from an ancient relic is self-evident. Although the person who bids for this item needs to improve the previous part of the martial arts book by himself, once it is successfully completed, it will surely become an extremely powerful practice method. Despite this, the practice methods contained in these existing contents alone will surely be helpful to you. Starting price, three hundred medium-grade spirit stones."

As soon as Liu Chong finished speaking, the monks in the audience began to whisper to each other, and the sound of discussion instantly rang out. Everyone's eyes were focused on the "Lotus Sword Art", and their eyes revealed different degrees of consideration and judgment.

Most people showed a lack of interest. Some crossed their arms and shook their heads slightly, while others curled their lips with a look of disdain on their faces.

The main reason is that this technique is really useless. You can say it is not worth the price, but it is a technique for practicing the Golden Core Realm, which is attractive to those monks who are close to the Golden Core Realm or in the early stage of the Golden Core Realm. But if you say it is valuable, without the previous practice techniques, it is simply impossible for ordinary monks to create their own techniques to make up for it. Throughout the ages, which monk who created his own technique is not a brilliant and gifted person? They are one in a million, and ordinary monks know that they do not have that talent and gift.

For a time, there was a lot of discussion in the audience.

In a corner of the auction hall, a skinny monk curled his lips and said with disdain, "Tsk, only a fool would spend three hundred mid-grade spirit stones to buy such a junky thing."

A short and fat monk beside him nodded in agreement: "That's right, if I remember correctly, this technique has been auctioned off twice, right?

Another monk with a goatee stroked his chin and answered affirmatively, "Yes, that's right. According to the rules of Liuyun Auction House, if an item fails to sell more than three times, it cannot be auctioned again. If no one wants it this time, I guess this copy of Lotus Sword Art will be completely forgotten."

Everyone was talking and commenting on this incomplete copy of "Lotus Sword Technique". The atmosphere in the auction hall became a little noisy because of this martial arts technique.
