The Transmigrator's Cultivation

Arc 14: Dayan Empire | Chapter 243: Devil Auctioneer

Translator: Lynn

The person who presided over this matter was a Golden Core Stage Daoist with a very restrained aura. Everyone present could only see that it was an old man with a round face, but they couldn’t tell how deep his cultivation was.

This person is very proficient, and he went straight to the point: “Our Longhang Firm held this auction conference, and you all know how well-known it is, so I won’t say much, I just present a part of the auction, and everyone bids.” He said briefly. After a pause, he continued, “The rules are the sas in the past. The lower-grade spirit stones shall prevail. If there are not enough spirit stones, rare items can be mortgaged. However, the amount that can be mortgaged will be estimated by the firm based on the market price. Don’t make more entanglements. And if someone wants to “fish” in troubled waters, don’t blme for not giving face.”

In just a few words, the rules have been established without redundant words.

After that, another bell rings, signaling that the auction has officially started.

The round-faced old man was not in a hurry, he was a person who had seen big scenes, and immediately took a tray from a foundation-building female nun who walked out of the inner house, and placed it on the stage.

There is a piece of gauze covering the tray, which is extremely thin, but even if someone throws their consciousness, they can’t penetrate the gauze and get a glimpse of the contents on the tray.

Then the round-faced old man was muttering something, and he took off the gauze with his hands—in an instant, a colorful light shot up into the sky, dazzling the eyes for a while, almost making people feel stinging.

Suddenly someone exclaimed:

“A complete set of spiritual weapons!”

“It’s actually a set of flying swords!”

Longhang Firm really deserves its reputation!”

These people who exclaimed were naturally the lowest level, or they didn’t have much knowledge or cultivation, so they were so surprised. And the old cultivators have a lot of treasures in their hands, even if they feel a little special, they don’t take this set of spirit weapons too seriously.

Xu Ziqing’s eyes also paused for a while on that set of swords. He ranked well in the Zongmen Grand Competition and received a lot of rewards. Naturally, he has a high-grade spiritual weapon. But he has only heard about the spiritual weapons in the set, especially the flying sword set, which is extremely rare.

The round-faced old man is obviously familiar with such reactions, and he didn’t show any strangeness, but pointed with his fingers, and said slowly: “The Chihuo Immortal Sword Formation contains thirteen mouthfuls of high-grade spirit swords, which are rare spirit swords such as Chijin. Refined in a mine, and added three points of Yang Fire Flow Crystals, people of the fire attribute can get incantation easier, and the power of the sword array is comparable to treasures.”

“It’s actually made of Chijin?”

Huo Liujing, this thing can gather fire energy best, if it is used while incantation, it will get twice the result with half the effort!”

“It’s a pity that this is a spirit weapon of the fire attribute. If it is an earth attribute, it can be used by me…”

After the man finished explaining, there were so many discussions below.

Many cultivators are already ready to move, and they cast their eager eyes on it, wishing they could catch him and take him himmediately to sacrifice!

The round-faced old man saw that everyone was enthusiastic, so he announced the price loudly: “The reserve price is 100,000 low-grade spirit stones, and the bidding price should not be less than 1,000 low-grade spirit stones each time. Please bid.”

This reserve price is not expensive. A set of flying swords with formation is extremely cheap. It must be because of the intense atmosphere of Longhang Firm’s business behavior, like almost selling this item half-sold and half-given away.

Seeing that the “Chihuo Immortal Sword Formation” is so cheap, many cultivators started calling for the price.

“One hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones!”

“130,000 low-grade spirit stones!”

“I’ll give you 180,000. If you’re poor, don’t compete with!”

“Can’t get out even tens of thousands of spirit stones? I’ll just offer 200,000 low-grade spirit stones.”

The price was repeatedly shouted, because it was bound to be obtained.

Soon the prices kept rising, doubled the reserve price in a short while, and thereafter there was a tendency to continue to increase the price, and the competition was fierce.

The round-faced old man twisted his beard and smiled, not in a hurry.

In the room, Xu Ziqing glanced at everyone, and found that none of Xuan Ze’s subordinates seemed interested in the sword formation.

He thought about it and found it not surprising. It’s just the first item to be auctioned, and the Nascent Soul Daoist has no need to buy it. The rest of them are also Golden Core stage cultivators. They must have obtained good things by following Xuan Ze. They must have seen weapons greater than this set of spirit formation swords.

Therefore, those who covet the formation sword so much are probably casual cultivators and disciples who do not have high positions in the sect.

After fighting for a while, an old man with a long beard finally got it. He spent 320,000 low-grade spirit stones, which is not a low price. At this time, he smiled kindly at a pretty girl beside him. The girl was full of anger and looked very cute. It seemed that she was the younger generation of the old man. This set of sword arrays should be bought for her.

Xu Ziqing only glanced at it and didn’t look much.

The round-faced old man on the stage took another tray and revealed the things under the veil.

This tit is a pair of double hooks, which are also high-grade spiritual weapons. Compared with the previous set of formation swords, this item is more expensive because of its special shape. It should be known that the water attribute skills have always been soft, even if they have sattack power, they are usually mostly flying swords. Now it is quite attractive to have such a special spiritual weapon. What’s more, the refinement of this thing is extremely beautiful, and it has the ability to turn water into ice without changing skills, which is even more special.

Therefore, the reserve price was 200,000 low-grade spirit stones. After a lot of competition, it was auctioned off by a woman at a price of 580,000. The woman covered her face with a green veil, her posture was elegant, she should be a disciple of a big sect or a part of an influential family, her asking price was firm, which shows that she has strong financial resources.

Immediately afterwards, a lot of precious things were brought, most of them were strange high-grade spiritual weapons, only those with powerful power and special uses could cause looting.

It wasn’t until the spirit weapons were finished and the treasure artifacts appeared that gradually sof the Nascent Soul Cultivators began to call for shots.

This first batch is all spirit treasures of the Immortal Dao. Many people bid, but there are also many people who wait and see. In fact, they are just an appetizer for the auction conference. There will be more treasures waiting after that. Therefore, one doesn’t worry if they don’t get what they like, just wait for the next one.

Sure enough, not long after, the second batch of objects to be displayed was about to cout.

At this time, there were six trays spread out on the stage, and it was different from taking out one by one slowly as before, but it was precisely because of this that it was able to whet people’s appetite, and it made people’s heart itch even more.

The round-faced old man on the stage left at this time, and the person who cto preside over the affairs was actually replaced by a burly man. He was wearing leather armor, his dark chest was exposed, and his appearance looked a little fierce. And his aura is strange…it turned out to be a demon cultivator!

Xu Ziqing’s pupils suddenly shrank, and his heart tightened. Subconsciously, he turned his gaze to his shixiong. He remembered that shixiong was the most upright, but when he saw the devil cultivator, he would be merciless and kill him…

Yun Lie’s expression did not change, and even the faint murderous aura lingering around him was the sas before, without any waves. Since he also noticed Xu Ziqing’s attention, he understood his thoughts, and said through voice transmission: “He has never done anything evil in front of me, so naturally I will not kill him.”

Xu Ziqing was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood. That’s right, even if he is a devil cultivator, he has never been seen doing evil by his shixiong, and he doesn’t have any great reputation. Shixiong is upright, but he is not a person with prejudices. How could he randomly kill a cultivator? He really cared about karma and the chaos it created.

Thinking of this, he smiled, becinterested in chatting, and asked, “Shixiong, is it something related to the devil dao?”

Yun Lie nodded slightly: “It should be the spirit weapon of the devil dao.”

Sure enough, as soon as Yun Lie finished speaking, the burly man over there tore off the veils on the first three trays with a wave of his hand, and in an instant, a strong devilish energy shot up into the sky, overwhelming the hall. A layer of black clouds gathered in the sky.

There seemed to be ghosts and spirits wailing in the cloud, mournful, and it seemed that countless evil thoughts had gathered, just as people’s consciousness was about to penetrate in, they were immediately swallowed up by the black cloud!

This scene was very strange, but the demon cultivator took a deep breath, showing an extremely intoxicated look on his face. After a while, he turned his head, suppressed the greed in his eyes and said: “If you are a fellow devil cultivator, this tyou must have seen the origin of this thing by now.”

He just spoke, and the people below couldn’t wait to speak.

“The Banner of Ten Thousand Ghosts!”

“No, no, no, it’s not yet at the level of ten thousand ghosts, but it’s also quite powerful. It must be… there must be thousands of ghosts in it, and it’s a rare treasure refined by the secret method of the Ghost Spirit Gate!”

“Yes, if it is The Banner of Ten Thousand Ghosts, it is indeed owned by the Ghost Sect! And if it is not a core disciple of the Ghost Sect, they will never own this thing!”

“Could it be that a core disciple of the Ghost Sect was killed?”

Everyone discussed At that time, everyone was shocked, that Ghost Spirit Sect is a first-class sect of evil dao, and the disciples under the sect are extremely cruel. There are only those who have such a strong personality, and those people are all extremely cruel people, with vicious methods and cruel temperaments, they are absolutely extraordinary. Such a person, unless he died, how could he lose the secret treasure?

After enjoying the surprise of the crowd, the devil cultivator said, “Everyone is right, this is exactly the sub-flag of The Banner of Ten Thousand Ghosts that someone secretly sold to us at Longhang Firm a few days ago. There are three in total, and each of them contains as many as a thousand ghosts, and their power is infinite. If the disciples who practice the way of the devil get this thing, they can use the many evil spirits in it to refine the supernatural powers of the devil’s sect. It will be like walking a thousand miles in a day.” He showed a sinister smile, and said: ” The base price is 1,300,000 low-grade spirit stones, and each increase must not be less than 100,000 low-grade spirit stones. Let’s… bid.”

As soon as the demonic man finished speaking, he actually grabbed one of the thousand ghost flags and threw it into his hands.

Shake——

suddenly, several eerie ghost heads suddenly appeared on the black flag, opening their mouths suddenly, wanting to pounce immediately, choosing whoever they want!

At the stime, an invisible pressure overflowed like water waves.

Seeing the three spirit flags, Xu Ziqing suddenly felt extremely uneasy.

The black cloud seemed extremely ominous, even if it was on the stage, it seemed to be able to attract souls, especially when the ghost head poked out, there seemed to be a terrifying aura rushing out, which made him feel a little dizzy for a moment. He immediately bit the tip of his tongue, and a coolness descended on the top of his head to drive away this feeling. But in his heart, he couldn’t help being shocked.

At the stime, in the next moment, a hoarse voice suddenly sounded in the opposite room on the third floor. “The things of my Ghost Spirit Gate will naturally be taken back by my Ghost Spirit Gate.”
