Chapter 43 Jade Slips of Spiritual Weapons

"This first auction item is a top-grade magic weapon - Water and Fire Hook. This Water and Fire Hook was made by a master of refining. One of his ancestors was once a third-level refiner of Bailianmen, but he could even refine spiritual weapons. This top-grade magic weapon is not only hard and sharp, but also can increase the power of basic attack spells by 10%. For cultivators like us in the Qi Refining Stage, it is definitely a weapon to improve combat power. The starting price is 300 low-grade spiritual stones, and each bid must not be less than 10 low-grade spiritual stones." The old man waved his hand gently, and two small jade hooks of a foot long suddenly appeared on the jade plate, one flashing red, and the other emitting green light, which was extremely beautiful and eye-catching.

"I'll offer 310 low-grade spiritual stones." An ugly man raised his hand and shouted.

"I'll offer 320 low-grade spiritual stones." As soon as the ugly man finished speaking, a pockmarked woman in her thirties raised her hand.

One of them had an ugly face, and the other had a pockmarked face, but they were a perfect match. When they saw the two of them fighting, laughter suddenly broke out in the hall.

However, Xiao Lin knew that everyone who came here wore a mask to conceal their breath, and these two people were definitely not their true faces. Xiao Lin was quite surprised that the first auction item was a top-grade magic weapon. Generally, Qi Refining cultivators use magic weapons, which are divided into three levels: primary, intermediate, advanced, and top-grade. The Seven Blades in Xiao Lin's hand is just a mid-grade magic weapon, which is not even a little bit different from the Water and Fire Hook.

And its ability to increase the power of basic spells by 10% made Xiao Lin's mouth dry. The Water Arrow and Fireball spells he practiced just corresponded to the water and fire attributes. If he could buy this Water and Fire Hook, it would not only help him improve his combat power.

"I'll offer 350 low-grade spirit stones." A crisp voice sounded, and the person who looked like it was indeed a slightly fat woman in her thirties.

"I'll offer 360 low-grade spirit stones." The ugly man was unwilling to give up, his eyes flashing with coldness, and he raised his hand again.

"370 low-grade spirit stones." The pockmarked woman was unwilling to be outdone, and followed suit and raised the price again.

"I'll offer 400 low-grade spirit stones." The slightly plump woman glanced at the ugly man and the pockmarked woman, and continued to add lightly.

"Are there any Taoist friends who can offer a higher price?" The white-headed old man smiled, and seeing that the price of the slightly plump woman seemed to have suppressed the slightly plump woman and the ugly man, he just added fuel to the fire.

"I'll offer 500 low-grade spirit stones." A young man in his twenties suddenly raised his hand and said loudly.

"Okay, this Taoist friend bids 500 low-grade spirit stones, is there any Taoist friend who can offer a higher price?" The white-headed old man was obviously very experienced and knew how to adjust the atmosphere on the scene.

The slightly plump woman's eyes showed a thoughtful expression, and she was about to raise her hand again, but slowly put it down.

This top-grade magic weapon is indeed very attractive, but 500 pieces of low-grade spirit stones have already exceeded its own value. Generally, cultivators in the early and middle stages of Qi Refining can accumulate 10 to 20 pieces of low-grade spirit stones a year. However, cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining or even the Great Perfection stage naturally hunt more advanced monsters than cultivators in the early and middle stages of Qi Refining stage. They can form teams to hunt ordinary middle-level monsters, and even hunt some high-level monsters. Therefore, the income is much higher in comparison, but accumulating dozens of low-grade spirit stones a year is already the best.

Of course, there are also some geniuses who can even kill ordinary great perfection monsters across levels. This kind of monster is only a thin line away from the real monster. If you can kill this kind of monster, the income will naturally be incomparable. If you are lucky enough to get a primary seal from the body of an ordinary great perfection monster, you can make a lot of money.

Of course, there is another type, that is, the cultivation family. In addition to the independent cultivators, there are also some Qi Refining cultivators who have the support of the family behind them, so the wealth they have is difficult to estimate. If the family supports them at all costs, it is not impossible to get thousands of low-grade spirit stones. However, there are not many such cultivation families in the entire Tianlu Mountains. Usually, they are the few large families.

In the end, this water and fire hook magic weapon was auctioned by the young man in his twenties. After the young man auctioned this top-grade magic weapon, he was taken to the hall by someone and obviously went to pay the spirit stones. And from his appearance, he did not intend to continue to participate in the auction.

Although Xiao Lin was a little strange, he thought about it for a while and was relieved. He bought a top-grade magic weapon. Even if it was worth a lot, he was probably a little stretched. Even if the things behind were good, he couldn't be auctioned. It's better to leave and save trouble.

Although Xiao Lin also wanted this top-grade magic weapon, he gave up after thinking about it. For him now, he didn't need a very good attack method. The fireball spell of the Great Perfection level was enough for attack power. If he could enter the seventh level of Qi Refining, he would be able to practice the elementary spell of the Great Fireball Spell, and then his attack power would be greatly improved. Compared with the magic weapon, what he lacked now was the elixir that could improve his realm.

But he had previously browsed the contents of the jade slip, and there was no Five Elements Pill for sale. Moreover, the list in the jade slip did not include the last three finale auction items, which made Xiao Lin quite speechless, and he couldn't help but admire the method of Babaozhai.

In Xiao Lin's view, this approach is not difficult to understand. If they see the list in the jade slip and there is nothing they want, most monks will probably choose to leave instead of wasting time here. By doing this, the monks present can not only know most of the auction items, but also not know the last three items. They must be full of curiosity and expectations for the last three items. This is what Babaozhai does. original intention.

The main reason why Xiao Lin didn't take action was that he wanted to use all the spiritual stones to auction something later.

"Fellow Taoists, we are going to auction the second item. This second item is an 80-year-old fire attribute Five Elements Spirit Grass. Everyone here knows that this Five Elements Spirit Grass can be used to refine the Five Elements Spirit Pill. It is very useful for us monks in the Qi refining stage to break through the bottlenecks in the middle and late stages. Most of you here are monks in the late stage of Qi refining. If you want to go further and enter the Great Perfection, so that the great road can be expected, this Five Elements Spirit Grass is the key. This plant The starting price for the fire attribute Five Elements Spiritual Grass is two hundred low-grade spiritual stones, and each increase in price must not be less than ten low-grade spiritual stones.”

"Two hundred and ten low-grade spiritual stones."

"Two hundred and twenty low-grade spiritual stones"

"I'll give you two hundred and fifty low-grade spiritual stones."

...

Xiao Lin looked at a fiery red four-leaf grass on the jade plate with no expression on his face. He had planted a lot of Five Elements Spirit Grass in the spirit wood space. In a few years, he could basically have as many as he wanted. How many? What surprised Xiao Lin was that the price of the Five Elements Spiritual Grass. The starting price actually reached two hundred low-grade spiritual stones. The main medicinal materials for refining the Five Elements Spiritual Pill are so expensive, so wouldn’t the finished pill be astronomically expensive? .

In fact, this is Xiao Lin's first time entering the world of cultivation, and he doesn't know enough about many things. In the entire Tianlu Mountains, although this kind of Five Elements Spiritual Grass is not extinct, it is extremely rare in number. Except for the five major sects that will open up some on the spiritual veins they occupy. Except for the spiritual fields used to grow this kind of spiritual grass, ordinary casual cultivators cannot get it at all. Even many low-level monks have never seen the real five elements spiritual grass in their lives. Most monks, even if they have deep blessings, can't get it in the Tianlu Mountains. If you get one or two Five Elements Spirit Grass, you will usually choose to exchange it for something or a spiritual elixir to improve your cultivation level, instead of using it to make elixirs yourself. After all, except for the alchemists of major sects, the success rate of ordinary people in elixir refining is extremely poor. Yes, nine times out of ten the elixir is not refined and the materials are wasted.

Obviously, there are many monks who are interested in this Five Elements Spiritual Grass. In a short time, this Five Elements Spiritual Grass was sold for a sky-high price of 400 low-grade spiritual stones. This price is almost as high as that of the top-grade magic weapon.

But after it exceeded four hundred low-grade spiritual stones, the number of monks bidding began to decrease. Finally, this spiritual grass was bought by a fair-faced young man in his mid-twenties for a price of four hundred and thirty low-grade spiritual stones.

Immediately afterwards, several more magic weapons appeared, an armor-piercing blade that could enhance the power of basic metal attack spells by 10%, and a crystal water that could increase the defense power of water-attributed water spirit shields by 10%. shield.

After that, a Blue Thunder Sword appeared that could increase the power of thunder-attribute spells by 10%. These magic weapons really troubled Xiao Lin for a long time, but he finally endured it.

Each of these magical artifacts fetched a price of more than 400 low-grade spiritual stones. The Blue Thunder Sword finally fetched a sky-high price of 600 low-grade spiritual stones, which made Xiao Lin secretly smack his lips.

Next, another talisman was auctioned. This was a talisman that sealed the Dzogchen-level primary spell Ice Rain. Even a Dzogchen monk in the Qi Refining Stage might not be able to accept it. This talisman even made the entire auction The meeting has reached a new climax. You must know that the talisman does not require the consumption of mana when activated. It is a powerful attack method that consumes one time.

Although Ice Rain is a group attack spell and is not as powerful as a single spell of the same level, it is also one of the best ways for monks to fight to save their lives. Xiao Lin also coveted this talisman, but the price was so high After reaching an astonishing 700 low-grade spiritual stones, Xiao Lin gave up completely.

Although the primary Dzogchen-level spell is extremely rare, it is not worth half of his worth in exchange for it. Besides, there are things he needs more at this stage.

"Fellow Taoists, these magical weapons, spiritual herbs, and talismans in front of me have not disappointed you, and our Babaozhai has also made careful preparations for this auction. The items selected for auction are all in the late stage of Qi Refining. The things that the monks urgently need will be of great help to improve your combat power and cultivation. What is going to be auctioned below is not a finished product, but a refining jade slip, which is a foundation builder of Xueling Immortal City. In the early days, fellow Taoists accidentally obtained it from a ruins and put it up for auction in our Babao Zhai. This jade slip records the refining method of an extremely rare spiritual weapon called [Lingyin Shield], and it has been passed through our Babao Zhai. According to the assessment of Elder Zhai Jindan, once this spiritual shield is made, it can at least withstand a full blow from a monk in the middle stage of foundation establishment without being damaged. Of course, if this is a finished spiritual weapon, I will most likely not be able to Put it up for auction. After all, the materials and efforts required to refine a spiritual weapon are astronomical. It is precisely because of this that the Taoist friend in the early stage of foundation building was willing to put it up for auction. The starting price of this jade slip is three hundred yuan. For low-grade spiritual stones, the price increase must not be less than thirty low-grade spiritual stones.”

"Spiritual weapon?" The whole hall suddenly exploded.
