Chapter 433: A Sharp Weapon or a Call to Death
The auction was still ongoing. With the auction of high-level Spiritual Items, Magic Tools, pills, talismans, manuals and such, the auction also reached a climax.
“I believe everyone can’t wait. We will now start to auction the ten finale products of this Tian’yuan Auction.”
Old Mu’s voice was a little excited, “We Tian’yuan City took a lot of effort to find these ten finale items and we will definitely not disappoint fellow Daoists.
“The first finale auction item is a defensive pagoda and it’s also a Peak-Quality Saint Treasure.”
After Old Mu’s voice fell, he saw a half-foot-long, tooth-white pagoda with a primitive simplicity appear on the crystal column rising in the centre of the auction stage.
“This Saint Treasure pagoda has a total of seven levels. The Great Masters that refined each layer had added restrictions and arrays, and each time a layer is unlocked, the defence ability will increase by one level.”
Old Mu continued to introduce with slight excitement: “This treasured pagoda is suitable for all Sword Masters under Sword Deity. Based on cultivation base and strength, it will unlock the layer of defence, and when the seventh layer is unlocked, it can also withstand the continuous succession of Sword Deity level powerhouse attacks three times.
“Most importantly is that when the seventh layer withstands the Sword Deity attack, it isn’t exhausted. As long as you give it three days then reactivate the seventh layer, you can still resist three attacks. It’s definitely a life-saving trump card.”
Hearing Old Mu’s introduction, many Sword Masters present were boiling with excitement. Even the Sword Saints sitting in the private rooms were tempted.
Such a Peak-Quality Saint Treasure is rarely found in the world.
“The starting price of the Seven-Layer Defence Pagoda is one million Low-Quality Spiritual Stones, and the increasing price must not be lower than ten thousand Spiritual Stones each time. The auction will start now.”
“Two million.”
“Five million.”
“…”
Soon, this defensive pagoda was bid to a high price of eight million.
“Eight and a half million.” Huo Ling Long called out after a long silence.
Hearing Huo Ling Long’s voice, many Headmasters and Elders of the other five Sects felt a headache and cursed inwardly why the Sect Leader of the Eight Extremes Sect would sent this demoness for this Grand Competition.
“Nine million.” A majestic voice came from the Sword Sect’s private room.
Huo Ling Long pouted and continued to bid: “Nine and a half million.”
Headmaster Feng was actually very tempted by this defensive pagoda, but he was more inclined to the Seven-Coloured Glazed Cauldron, so he gave up this bid.
And the price of nearly ten million Spiritual Stones was basically hollowing out his savings.
“Ten million.” The Vast Mountain Sect’s private room shouted.
“Twelve million.” Huo Ling Long maniacally increased the price again.
“…” The people present were extremely speechless towards Huo Ling Long. This demoness didn’t play cards according to the rules.
Was there such a way to bid? Adding two million at a time was crazy enough, but she did have that capital to be arrogant.
This price also made several Headmasters wonder if she really wanted it? Or was she deliberately topping the price as always to toy with people.
In the end the private rooms of the five Sects went silent. They were afraid that Huo Ling Long would play tricks. After all, they spent too much Spiritual Stones earlier, so if there were better auction items later, they would lose more than their gains.
So Huo Ling Long bought the defensive pagoda for twelve million.
“Congratulations to Headmaster.” Lou Mu Yan could see that the value of the pagoda wasn’t just worth twelve million, but more, so Huo Ling Long benefitted.
Huo Ling Long said with a smile: “Looks like they understand.”
The people in the private room couldn’t resist twitching the corners of their mouths when she said this. So this female tyrant dragon’s pressure didn’t only affect the Eight Extremes Sect, but even the other Sects weren’t spared.
There was a curious smile in Lou Mu Yan’s eyes. It seemed that Huo Ling Long wasn’t as simple as she seemed, otherwise violence alone wouldn’t make people of the same level in the Six Sects fear her.
Next, several items were auctioned off that made the Sword Saint powerhouses act one after another. Headmaster Feng reluctantly spend fifteen million Spiritual Stones to win a Spiritual Herb that could help improve a Sword Saint’s cultivation base.
Ten finale items, each costing more than the last.
“Now the auction’s penultimate item, the Seven-Coloured Glazed Cauldron.”
Old Mu walked to the slowly rising crystal column, pointed to a bedazzling colourful Seven-Coloured Glazed Cauldron and said: “This is a Peak-Quality Saint Treasure. As long as it recognises you as Owner, you can scale the size of the cauldron yourself, and it can also be used as a defensive Magic Tool.
“Of course, it’s not just these two functions that make the Seven-Coloured Glazed Cauldron exciting.”
Old Mu paused then said: “The Seven-Coloured Glazed Cauldron has another special feature. It’s not only a pill cauldron, but also a smithing cauldron, and it can also refine materials for talismans and arrays. It’s a multi-purpose cauldron.
“Not only that, but the Seven-Coloured Glazed Cauldron can also withstand the high temperatures required for refining high-quality pills or Magic Tools. With the help of Mutant Flames, the refining effect of this cauldron would be even better, and there may even be unexpected surprises.
“Besides this, the Seven-Coloured Glazed Cauldron also has one of the most valuable functions, which I believe most of the people here aren’t aware of.”
Old Mu saw that everyone present was focused on the Seven-Coloured Glazed Cauldron, eager to hear what he would say next, their emotions extremely high.
“Have you heard of any kind of cauldron that can improve the pill rate refined and the success rate of smithing?” Old Mu asked.
Someone below exclaimed immediately: “Old Mu, do you mean that this Seven-Coloured Glazed Cauldron can also improve the rate of pills in refining and the success rate of refining tools?”
“This fellow Daoist guessed correctly. The Seven-Coloured Glazed Cauldron has such an effect, so it’s qualified to be the penultimate item in today’s finale.”
[GASP!!] There was a loud gasp from below.
Many Sword Masters who already wanted to win the Seven-Coloured Glazed Cauldron didn’t expect it to have such Heaven-defying effect, and they couldn’t resist boiling with excitement, wanting to win it even more.
“Heavens! It’s the first time I’ve heard of a cauldron that can refine pills, tools, and refine materials for talismans and arrays.”
“That’s not the point. The point is that this cauldron can also increase the number of pills refined, and the success rate of refining tools. Such an effect is Heaven-defying!”
“I bet you all don’t know.”
Someone said mysteriously: “I heard that this Seven-Coloured Glazed Cauldron was made by an Ancient Almighty. The refining materials used includes seven kinds of Elemental Energy attributes, and all of them are Heaven Rank Spiritual Items. If there’s no such effect, then it’d be a waste of those good materials.”
“So that’s how it is. Such a precious cauldron, I wonder how much it’ll go for.”
“Regardless of how much, it’s not something that we can afford to buy. No matter how high the price is, I’m satisfied with just being able to feast my eyes.” Someone sighed and said.
Most of the people sitting in the lobby in front of the auction stage were the children and pupils of major empires and distinguished clans on Tian’ling Continent, with status and backgrounds, and also a rather deep foundation, but they still could hardly compare to those in the private rooms.
“Yeah! Even if someone with a cultivation background like us have the ability to win it, they may not have the life to enjoy it.”
“Brother, you’re right, such a peak-quality cauldron is a weapon in the hands of the strong, but it’s definitely a call to death in our hands.”
“…” Whispers spread below while the Sword Saint powerhouses in the private room were ready to act.
“Old Mu, stop teasing us, let’s begin the auction quickly.” Finally someone in a private room couldn’t wait and urged.
