Chapter 133 Ancient Treasure Peak
"Mysterious Water Spirit Turtle?"
Chen Xu's gaze fell through the light screen onto the timid little blue turtle in the cage, and his heart stirred slightly.
This turtle can gather the spiritual energy of water, which is of great benefit to the cultivation of aquatic spiritual plants and fish.
If combined with Nan Longyue's Sea Spirit Body, the two would be a perfect combination for managing the fishpond, saving a lot of effort.
At this moment, the bidding below rose and fell, and the price quickly climbed.
"Three thousand five!"
"Three thousand eight!"
"four thousand!"……
The Mystic Water Spirit Turtle possesses exceptional defense, considerable potential as an adult, and a gentle temperament.
This attracted many Foundation Establishment families to compete for the bid, and the price quickly exceeded five thousand low-grade spirit stones.
Chen Xu leaned back in his comfortable chair, not in a hurry to start bidding.
It's not too late to participate in the auction when the price has peaked.
Then, his gaze swept across the ordinary seating area below, trying to find Nan Longyue.
However, with thousands of cultivators exuding mixed auras, and many concealing their appearances, the traces of Nan Longyue and the Nan family cultivators could not be found for a time.
After a moment's thought, Chen Xu put the matter aside.
After all, the auction house was vast, and it was normal for the Nan family cultivators to be difficult to identify among them.
Once this matter is settled, I will go and find Nanlongyue.
At this moment, the bidding for the Xuan Shui Ling Turtles is nearing its end.
When the price reached "six thousand eight hundred spirit stones", the room fell into a brief silence.
"Seven thousand." Chen Xu's steady voice rang out through the light screen of the VIP room, echoing clearly in the main venue.
However, when the sound passes through the light screen, it is processed so that it is impossible to tell whether it is real or not.
The bid of seven thousand was already somewhat inflated. The auctioneer asked three times, but there was no further response.
"Congratulations to our distinguished guest in VIP Room Number Seven for winning this Xuan Shui Spirit Turtle hatchling with a bid of seven thousand low-grade spirit stones!"
A short while later, the side door slid open silently, and the palace maid reappeared.
She held a delicate beast-taming ring in both hands and respectfully placed it on the table beside Chen Xu before silently retreating.
The auction continued, and its scale far exceeded Chen Xu's expectations.
The subsequent dozen or so items, almost all of which were Tier 3 treasures, brought the atmosphere in the venue to a fever pitch, with continuous bidding.
Occasionally, one or two Tier 2 items may appear, but they are rare treasures that attract crowds to fight over them.
Chen Xu then bid two thousand spirit stones to acquire a second-tier water and earth attribute spiritual item, the Shenze Fruit.
Chen Xu mainly wanted to use this item to cultivate the "Mysterious Bone True Demon Art".
Although the "Mysterious Bone True Demon Art" requires an earth-attribute spiritual object.
Having more attributes is also possible, but the refining efficiency will be lower.
At this moment, the auctioneer picked up the next tray, on which was a jade bracelet with a warm, lustrous sheen.
"Fellow Daoists, please take a look! The next item up for auction is truly a boon for cultivators with Wood Spirit Roots: the Azure Wutong Spirit-Nourishing Bracelet!"
"This bracelet is made primarily from the heartwood of a thousand-year-old green parasol tree, supplemented with various rare spiritual minerals, and meticulously crafted."
"Wearing it on the body for a long time can greatly enhance the wearer's wood spirit root's sensitivity and affinity, increasing cultivation speed by at least 30%."
"It can better nourish the meridians and spirit, and has a significant effect on breaking through minor bottlenecks."
"Starting bid: 10,000 low-grade spirit stones! Each bid must increase by at least 1,000!"
Upon hearing this, many cultivators with wood-elemental roots in the hall quickened their breathing.
It can increase cultivation speed by 30% and also assist in breaking through realms. Such effects are enough to tempt any cultivator with a wood spirit root.
Chen Xu was not interested in this item, but many cultivators came specifically for it.
At this moment, in an inconspicuous corner of the auction house.
Nan Longyue wore a large, dark blue cloak with the hood pulled low.
Upon hearing about the item, her eyes lit up, and she immediately joined the bidding.
The bidding for the Azure Phoenix Spirit Bracelet instantly ignited the venue.
Bidding was incessant, and the price quickly broke through the 18,000 mark.
"Nineteen thousand spirit stones!" A hoarse voice rang out from the front row of the ordinary seats.
"Twenty thousand!" A voice immediately came from the VIP room, announcing an increase in the price.
In the corner, Nan Longyue's hand trembled slightly as she swallowed back the words "15,000".
She pursed her lips tightly, her face pale beneath the hood, her eyes filled with disappointment and bitterness.
She had almost exhausted all her resources to barely scrape together 15,000 spirit stones for this auction.
I thought I had a chance to fight back, but even the opportunity to speak seemed so ridiculous.
The Nan family is currently in dire need of spirit stones to expand their business guild, so they will not give her any more spirit stones to bid on this item.
The huge difference in her life made her feel a tightness in her chest, and a sense of powerlessness spread through her.
Despite possessing a Heavenly Spiritual Root, his cultivation speed is like that of a mixed five-elemental spiritual root.
If she could have this bracelet to help her, even if it only increased her speed by 30%, it would be enough for her to see a glimmer of hope in getting out of her predicament.
But unfortunately...
"Congratulations to our distinguished guest in VIP Room Number Two!"
The sound of the auctioneer's gavel striking Nanlongyuexin was like a heavy hammer blow.
Meanwhile, in VIP room number seven, Chen Xu naturally spotted Nan Longyue and understood what was going on.
It turns out that this woman came for the Azure Wutong Spirit Bracelet.
However, although the Green Wutong Bracelet was good, it was only a temporary solution for her.
Nan Longyue probably never imagined that the reason for her slow progress in cultivation was because she possessed a rare Sea Spirit Body.
Nan Longyue probably never imagined that the reason for her slow progress in cultivation was because she possessed a rare Sea Spirit Body.
……
Soon, the auction drew to a close, and the atmosphere grew increasingly lively.
Finally, when the last and most important item was carried onto the stage by two maids, the entire venue fell silent.
All eyes were focused on the tray covered with red silk.
As the red silk was lifted, a miniature artificial mountain was revealed on the tray.
Although small and exquisite, it exudes a sense of weight and substance.
Upon seeing this, Chen Xu was deeply shaken.
This artificial mountain artifact is eight or nine parts similar to the ancient artifact he obtained from the ruins of the First Saint Sect, only lacking some of its spirit.
"I wonder what the connection is..."
At this moment, the auctioneer's clear voice rang out:
"Distinguished guests! I believe that many of you experienced fellow Daoists present have already gleaned some clues from the charm of this object."
"Indeed, this treasure is a replica of the ancient treasure, Thousand-Pound Peak!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room erupted in uproar.
"It's a replica of an antique?!"
"No wonder it has such a profound aura!"
The auctioneer continued, "Although it is a replica, the master craftsman who created this treasure possessed unparalleled skill and has already replicated part of the spirit of the ancient treasure, Thousand-Pound Peak."
"Its power is far beyond that of ordinary Core Formation stage magic weapons. When it is unleashed, mountains transform into peaks, suppressing all things."
"Even ordinary Core Formation cultivators would find it difficult to withstand its overwhelming power without the protection of powerful treasures! It is an unparalleled weapon that combines offense and defense!"
"Starting bid: 50,000 low-grade spirit stones! Each bid must increase by at least 1,000 spirit stones!"
Almost all the VIP rooms participated in the bidding.
Chen Xu, however, was not interested in this, because if nothing unexpected happened, what he possessed was the genuine ancient treasure, the Thousand-Pound Peak.
He was more concerned about another gain:
"Qianjun Peak... I finally know the name of this ancient treasure. It will be much easier to inquire about its refining method in the future."
