Chapter 45: Obtaining the Talisman
Xiao Lin saw a few people showing shock in their eyes, but this shock was quickly replaced by madness.
After the white-headed man said that this item was a "talisman", he fell silent, making the atmosphere of the entire auction suddenly become weird.
After a while, he seemed to feel that the atmosphere was almost exaggerated, and the white-headed man said: "Most of the fellow Taoists who want to come here don't know what the [Use Talisman] is? Then let me explain it to you first."
After a pause, the white-headed man continued: "Taoist friends are familiar with the talisman. It is us cultivators who seal the spells in the talisman. When casting, we only need to detonate the talisman. It is not only convenient and fast, but more importantly, it does not require consumption." Mana is the best trump card for monks to save lives and drive away enemies, but talismans also have a limitation. Not only is the success rate of refining talismans very low, but it is difficult for non-professional talisman makers to refine them. But the key is not here; The spells sealed in the talisman can only exert at most 70% to 80% of the power of the sealed spell, but the [talisman] is different."
Speaking of this, the white-headed man pointed to the short blade on the jade plate and continued: "In our world of immortal cultivation, there are still very few people who have the dual roles of weapon refiner and talisman maker. After painstaking research, they finally developed the A method of sealing a spell into a magic weapon. Not only does it have the same power as the sealed spell when it explodes, but more importantly, the magic weapon can also self-destruct. Under the double power, even a monk in the foundation building stage will most likely die. And this short blade is itself a set of top-quality wood-attribute magic weapons. In the main body of the short blade and the seven small blades, each has a Dzogchen-level primary spell [Blue Thunder Technique] sealed. The Blue Thunder Technique is not only powerful, , even if a monk in the early stage of foundation building is hit, he will be seriously injured, and it also has a paralysis effect. Once he is hit, he will be stiff for at least two seconds. I think all fellow Taoists know what this means, not to mention, the best I don’t need to say more about the power of the magical weapon’s self-destruction.”
As soon as the white-headed man finished speaking, there was a gasp from below. Indeed, as he said, it was the first time for most of the monks present to hear the name Qi Fu, including Xiao Lin. After hearing this, After Pulsatilla's description of this talisman, even Xiao Lin began to breathe quickly.
For the Qi Refining Stage monks, this thing is simply a big killer. Even if it encounters the Foundation Establishment Stage monks, it can still compete with it. I am afraid that just taking it out will make the Foundation Establishment Stage monks not dare to act rashly.
Some monks' eyes began to turn red, while some sighed slightly and fell silent.
Xiao Lin can understand both extremes. It's not that those silent monks don't want it, but just the opposite. There is no monk in the Qi refining stage who doesn't want this talisman, but just listening to the functions described by the white-headed man, Xiao Lin Lin knew that the price of this talisman was absolutely sky-high. No wonder it would be auctioned as the finale item.
After a pause, when the whole hall regained its tranquility, the white-headed man slowly said: "The starting price of this talisman is one thousand low-grade spiritual stones, and each increase in price must not be less than fifty low-grade spiritual stones."
"I'll offer you 1,500 yuan of low-grade spiritual stones." As soon as the white-headed man finished speaking, a woman stood up and directly shouted out the sky-high price of 1,500 yuan of low-grade spiritual stones. She seemed to be deliberately imitating Xiao Lin. Think about it. Suppress the monks who want to make bids and discourage them from participating in the competition.
But obviously, this method does not work. If you change to another auction item, it may be possible, but this talisman has already made many people's eyes red.
"I'll pay one thousand five hundred and five hundred."
"One thousand six."
"One thousand six hundred and five."
"One thousand and seven."
"I'll pay two thousand."
"I'll give you two thousand five hundred."
"Two thousand and five thousand is a big deal? Sir, I'll give you three thousand."
"Soon, the price of this talisman was raised to a staggering price. Xiao Lin also participated in it once or twice, but when he finally saw the monks who were already red-eyed, he finally sighed and chose gave up.
Xiao Lin knew very well that the high-level Qi Refining monks present, and even a very small number of Foundation-building monks, all had profound backgrounds. Even if they were not the direct descendants of the top leaders of the five major sects, they were at least the descendants of the Great Xiuzhen family. They are competing for the strength of their families and backers, and they are just a casual cultivator.
If you are too showy, it will inevitably arouse people's suspicion. Even if you wear a breath-holding mask, there is no guarantee that you will not be targeted by interested people. Therefore, after the price reached an astonishing three thousand low-grade spiritual stones, Xiao Lin decisively chose give up.
After rounds of intense and exciting competitions, this talisman was finally bought by a "white-faced scholar" for 4,000 yuan of low-grade spiritual stones. This price made Xiao Lin stunned. Even though he had previously passed the waiter of Babaozhai, He exchanged eight bottles of Yunling Pill again and got 1,500 pieces of low-grade spirit stones. Now in his storage bag, there are nearly 2,500 pieces of low-grade spirit stones. But even so, he is unable to participate in this talisman. scramble.
"The second final item that will be auctioned soon, please take a look." After everyone calmed down slightly from the excitement, the white-headed man said again. He waved his hand gently, and three talismans appeared on the jade plate. One is emitting a dim yellow light, one is looming as if it might disappear at any time, and the last one is flashing with a dim green light.
Without waiting for anyone to guess, the white-headed man said with a smile: "These three talismans are all primary talismans, but what are sealed inside are not ordinary primary spells, but three primary Dzogchen spells sealed. Among them, this yellow one seals the primary spells. The Dzogchen-level spell Boulder Technique. This looming talisman is the sealed primary Dzogchen-level spell Wind Hidden Technique of the wind system. This is a hidden spell that is difficult to detect even for practitioners in the early stages of foundation building. As for this last one, It is a seal of the primary Dzogchen-level thunder spell Small Thunderstorm. Small Thunderstorm is a group spell with a paralysis effect. Although it is slightly inferior to the Green Thunder spell sealed in the previous weapon talisman when facing enemies, if you face multiple enemies, This little thunderstorm technique is extremely effective. The base price of these three talismans is five hundred low-grade spiritual stones, and each increase in price must not be less than fifty low-grade spiritual stones."
Seeing the three talismans, Xiao Lin's eyes lit up. For monks in the Qi refining stage, these three talismans can indeed be used as a life-saving means at the bottom of the box. The other two are also mentioned separately. The one that seals the wind element's primary spell wind. The talisman of hidden magic is what he really wants to get. Soon, he will enter the cave to pick purple spirit flowers. The prerequisite for entering the cave is that he must be a monk under the foundation building stage, so in the cave , there will be no foundation-building monks.
Therefore, although the talisman made him jealous, it was not the most urgently needed item at this stage. After all, he had only cultivated for a few years, and his accumulated wealth was compared to those of the disciples of the big cultivation sects and the direct descendants of the top leaders of the five major sects. The difference is not even the slightest bit, so naturally it is impossible to get everything.
However, Xiao Lin is not worried. With the ability of the Spiritual Wood Space, as long as he can obtain the prescription of the Five Elements Pill, he should be very confident that his cultivation realm will break through and enter the Qi Refining Stage. However, with what he has obtained so far, Judging from the information, if the prescription of the Five Elements Spiritual Pill is really only available to the five major sects, then he must first join one of the five major sects.
As soon as Xiao Lin thought about it, the price of the three talismans had been raised to 750 yuan of low-grade spiritual stones.
"One thousand low-grade spiritual stones." Xiao Lin raised his right hand and shouted a number that surprised many people.
Although the three elementary talismans can be used as a life-saving means for late-stage Qi refining and even Dzogchen cultivators, spending thousands of low-grade spiritual stones for this is still slightly worthless. Even the elementary Dzogchen talismans are only useful for Qi refining. Later cultivators have the ability to kill with one hit when they are caught off guard. For Dzogchen cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, they can only be severely injured at most. If they want to kill them in one strike, the probability is not high. It is not like that talisman. Even if The monks in the foundation building stage will be caught off guard and fall into desperate situations.
After Xiao Lin called out one thousand low-grade spiritual stones, there were only a few bidders, and finally, after several rounds, Xiao Lin won the bid with one thousand, three hundred low-grade spiritual stones.
Babao Zhai seems to be well versed in the art of relaxation. Although the last three final items are all rare and good things, the gap between them is not small. Compared with the weapon talismans, the three primary talismans are indeed not that big. What, even if the seals inside are all Dzogchen-level primary spells.
The white-headed man was obviously very satisfied that these three talismans could sell for 1,300 yuan of low-grade spiritual stones. After announcing that Xiao Lin had successfully bid for the three talismans, he waved his sleeves again, and this time appeared on the jade plate. A jade bottle, the jade bottle is dark green, and you can only roughly see a faint purple halo inside, which is flowing erratically.
Seeing this jade jar, Xiao Lin noticed that the eyes of several monks not far away showed excitement at the same time.
Xiao Lin has been paying attention to these people. Even when they saw the talisman before, they only showed a little surprise in their eyes, but it was far from what they are now, with unabashed excitement on their faces.
"Is the thing in this jade bottle more valuable than the talisman?" Xiao Lin was also quite surprised, but he soon understood.
"This jade bottle contains a foundation-building pill." The words of the white-headed man made the whole hall noisy again.
"Is there really a Foundation Establishment Pill for sale?"
"Haha, I thought it was a gimmick at first, but I didn't expect that Babao Zhai would actually take out a Foundation Establishment Pill and put it up for auction."
"Hey, if I had known that there really was a Foundation Establishment Pill, I wouldn't have bid for that magic weapon before. I'm afraid there aren't enough spiritual stones now."
After hearing what the white-headed man said, the jade bottle turned out to be a foundation-building pill used by cultivators to build foundations. Xiao Lin suddenly understood why the people not far away from him had excited eyes. These people were obviously cultivators. For them, in the realm of the Great Perfection of the Qi period, everything else is just floating clouds. If they cannot build the foundation, their longevity will be no different from ordinary people. After a hundred years, they still cannot escape the fate of returning to dust and returning to dust. But if they can successfully build the foundation , the longevity reached an astonishing two hundred years. With so much longevity, the so-called magical weapons, elixirs and even spiritual weapons are not something that is out of reach.
What's more important is that only when you enter the foundation building stage can you truly be considered a cultivator. It can be said that in the eyes of most monks, the foundation building stage and the Qi refining stage are the difference between immortals and mortals.
