I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm-Chapter 154 - 120: Auction House (Part 2)
Approximately half an hour later, the auction of spirit beast cubs finally came to an end.
"Next, we will move into the cultivation technique auction segment. The following cultivation technique books are items brought by fellow Daoists for auction. Most of them are incomplete and have certain defects in the inherited techniques. The Spirit Appraisers of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion can only guarantee the authenticity of the techniques. As for their quality, whether or not you should cultivate them, needs to be considered carefully by the Daoists. Once a cultivation technique book is sold, it will not be refunded or exchanged. Please decide carefully whether to participate in the bidding," Wan Yuncheng announced solemnly as he surveyed the crowd.
As soon as Wan Yuncheng finished speaking, the small teleportation array flashed with spirit light, sending out a blue Thunder Beast hide cultivation manual, with the latter part mostly destroyed.
Wan Yuncheng picked up the half of the Purple Sky Thunder Scripture and continued to explain, "This cultivation technique book is an Earth-grade top-grade cultivation technique: Purple Sky Thunder Scripture, which is one of the main inheritance cultivation techniques of the Purple Cloud Sect."
"The Purple Sky Thunder Scripture, you may have heard of it, was the primary cultivation technique of Ancestor Lei Hong of the Purple Cloud Sect. The Purple Cloud Sect was destroyed by the Nine Demons Alliance, but Ancestor Lei Hong, with this technique, successfully wounded the Nine Demons Sect severely, performing countless thunder techniques to suppress demons and achieving remarkable feats. Unfortunately, Ancestor Lei Hong fell in this battle, and this inheritance cultivation technique was thus lost!"
"The Purple Sky Thunder Scripture now only has the first three parts, allowing cultivation up to the Golden Core Realm; it must be cultivated with a Thunder Spirit Root,..."
As Wan Yuncheng’s voice fell, there was an uproar in the audience.
"The Purple Sky Thunder Scripture, alas, there’s only half of it! Such a precious inheritance has been lost!"
"It’s a pity I’m not a Thunder Spirit Root!"
"Ancestor Lei Hong’s inheritance, who would have thought the first auction item would be it!"
"Exotic Spirit Roots are rare enough, let alone a Thunder Spirit Root, not many can use it!"
"Truly unfortunate!"
...
In the audience, the Foundation Establishment cultivators shook their heads continuously, feeling regretful for Ancestor Lei Hong and the Purple Sky Thunder Scripture’s fate, such a good inheritance cultivation technique was about to become extinct.
Wan Yuncheng detailed the origins and history of the Purple Sky Thunder Scripture, finally announcing, "Purple Sky Thunder Scripture, starting bid: 100,000 Middle Spirit Stones, bidding period: 300 breaths, bidding starts."
As soon as Wan Yuncheng finished speaking, the display mirror under the auction stage showing the bid prices changed, but the data fluctuates without much intensity, not many participated in the bidding.
...
In the VIP room, Li Mu frowned, participated in the bidding a few times, and after the price exceeded 200,000 Middle Spirit Stones, he gave up.
Through adding points, Li Mu could complete the follow-ups of this technique, but the prerequisite for cultivating this technique required a Thunder Spirit Root, which he did not have.
Thus, acquiring the Purple Sky Thunder Scripture would only take up the space in the storage compartment, totally a waste, and Li Mu was unwilling to pay too high a price for it.
"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist No. 13, for purchasing the Purple Sky Thunder Scripture at 260,000 Middle Spirit Stones!" As the three hundred breaths ended, Wan Yuncheng dropped the auction hammer, loudly announcing.
Given the very strict cultivation conditions of the Purple Sky Thunder Scripture and its missing critical inheritance, fetching such a price, Wan Yuncheng was very pleased, loudly announcing, "Next, the auction item is an Observation Map!"
As soon as Wan Yuncheng finished this sentence, the small teleportation array’s light flickered again, but this time only sent out a tattered beast hide map.
"This Visualization Image is an ancient visualization method, with a billion star nebulas in the starry sky as the bank, the soul enters the Star Sea, a distant journey within reach, it is called: Nebula Visualization Image. This Visualization Image is ethereal and hard to perceive, difficult to describe, because this image has been inherited for ten thousand years, the beast hide material used is suspected to be from the sixth-tier Exquisite Celestial Rhinoceros hide. After enduring time’s erosion, the spiritual energy has dissipated, and some key points of the visualization image lines have been lost."
"This Visualization Image cannot be defined by tier, however, the Nebula Gathering Divine Technique obtained from visualization practice has a great impact on enhancing divine sense!" Wan Yuncheng smiled while detailing the Visualization Image information, displayed to the audience the complex star nebula map drawn on the image, and then covered it with his hand, hiding its contents.
The astronomical map contents recorded in the Nebula Visualization Image are extremely complex, a quick glance, no one can memorize it, therefore, one must buy it to gain further insight.
However, considering how badly damaged it is, buying it without obtaining a complete visualization inheritance would be a great loss!
With Wan Yuncheng’s detailed introduction, the audience below once again became excited!
"This image uses sixth-tier Exquisite Celestial Rhinoceros skin to draw, real or fake!"
"This Observation Map is so broken, how much visualization method can it provide!"
"Can’t even determine the level of Visualization Method? This is too unreliable!"
"Can you really obtain the Star Nebula Gathering Divine Technique from this image? Anything else?"
"Steward Wan is too stingy! Let us see a bit more clearly, why not!"
"Exactly, with how complicated it is and critically damaged, who dares to try practicing it! Let us confirm one more time!"
...
Seeing Wan Yuncheng demonstrating briefly, then quickly retracting the Observation Map, the cultivators at the scene immediately were disgruntled and clamored. Such a complex shining image, even if memorized, without the actual map for real-time correction, who dares to truly cultivate!
If one practices incorrectly, what then? It directly affects divine sense and concerns the divine soul; any slight accident, and the divine soul may collapse.
Wan Yuncheng slightly smiled, unmoved, smilingly introduced, "This map’s origin is quite mysterious, however, due to time constraints, I won’t explain further. The Daoist who purchased this map, if curious about the details, can come find me."
Finished, Wan Yuncheng loudly announced, "Nebula Visualization Image starting price: 200,000 Middle Spirit Stones, auction time limit: 300 breaths, bidding starts now."
As soon as Wan Yuncheng finished speaking, the bidding price suddenly became volatile, dozens of VIP rooms’ Golden Core cultivators began bidding furiously, and the price soared to over 500,000 Middle Spirit Stones.
Divine Sense Techniques have always been rare and costly, techniques related to ancient times are particularly coveted by Golden Core cultivators.
...
In VIP Room No. 72, Li Mu had a peculiar expression, joy and astonishment flickering on his face, displaying comical, odd expressions, indifferent to the bidding frenzy among other Golden Core cultivators.
After elevating the Quenching God Technique to level 9 full level, Li Mu had been searching for the next Divine Sense Technique to cultivate. Unfortunately, most Divine Sense Techniques conflict; once a Divine Sense Technique is cultivated, another cannot be cultivated.
At the Sect’s Dharma Transmission Hall, the Divine Sense techniques Li Mu found had this issue.
However, having sensed the enormous enhancement effect of Divine Sense Techniques on the divine soul, Li Mu did not give up and kept an eye out for compatible Divine Sense Techniques.
When the auctioneer displayed the Nebula Visualization Image and introduced its contents, Li Mu immediately probed with divine sense, trying the Nebula Visualization Method.
Unexpectedly, this time, there was no conflict with the Divine Sense Technique nor a prompt indicating it couldn’t be cultivated.
He even directly recorded the cultivation method of the Nebula Visualization Image onto the character panel, acquiring a Divine Sense Technique inheritance without expending any effort or needing to compete with other Golden Core cultivators.
Under the influence of the Innate Divine Power - Recognition of Ten Thousand Spirits, Li Mu even discovered the true information about the beast hide on which the Nebula Visualization Image was drawn: that mysterious beast hide was not sixth-tier Exquisite Celestial Rhinoceros hide at all! It was distinctly the belly hide of the True Spirit Divine Beast - Jade Wave Qilin. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
However, time’s erosion had completely stripped the unique spiritual energy of the True Spirit Beast hide.
Who knows where the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion got such a high-level item, truly remarkable!
This auction was truly worth attending!
In just a hundred breaths, the auction price for the Nebula Visualization Image had surged to 800,000 Middle Spirit Stones, Li Mu was overjoyed.
What a huge bargain!
Li Mu happily looked at the virtual character panel, grinning broadly as he saw a series of alerts just popping up in the log, unable to contain his delightful smile.
