Bidding
"Low-Grade Houtian Spirit Treasure 'Profound Darkness Saber', starting price 8000 Spirit Stones, increment 500 Spirit Stones."
"8500 Spirit Stones!"
"9000 Spirit Stones!"
"9000 Spirit Stones per time."
"9000 Spirit Stones twice."
"Make a deal!"
With a single hammer blow from the Nascent Soul Realm auctioneer, a swordsman at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Realm went bankrupt to buy this Low-Grade Houtian Spirit Treasure.
Lu Changsheng sat alone in the Heaven-Grade box and did not participate in the bidding.
Lu Changsheng and Lin Qingzhi used Flying Sword Law Treasure, Lu Qinglian used a Law Treasure, Mo Huazhi used Law Treasure Spirit Brush and precious ink. Since these are all knife-type Law Treasure, Lu Changsheng had no reason to bid on them.
This time, Lu Changsheng focused on selecting suitable Flying Sword embryos and used the system to obtain Innate Spirit Treasures and Immortal Artifacts. As long as it was Swordsmanship, Lu Changsheng immediately made a purchase.
"The next treasure is the Low-Grade Houtian Spirit Treasure, the 'Flying Star Sword.' As everyone knows, the most commonly used Law Treasures by the six major Immortal Gate and independent Rogue Cultivators are Flying Sword Swordsmanship. Flying swords have always been popular Law Treasures. Therefore, the starting price for this Flying Star Sword is [amount Spirit Stones, with each bid increasing by 1000 Spirit Stones."
The auctioneer, having grasped the psychology of cultivators, quickly raised the price of a low-grade Low-Grade Houtian Spirit Treasure Flying Sword.
Lu Changsheng was stunned.
Is this even possible?
Because of the large number of cultivators who practice flying on swords, Swordsmanship are more popular than other Law Treasure. At the same level, their price is more than twice that of knife-type Law Treasure.

"Spirit Stone!"
"Spirit Stone!"
"Spirit Stone!"
"Spirit Stone!"
Soon, the price of this Flying Sword had been driven up to 20,000 Spirit Stones.
"Spirit Stone."
A voice came from the Heaven-Grade private room, and the cultivators vying for the Flying Sword fell silent.
Who's the lunatic who raised the price by 5000 Spirit Stones in one go!
Do you really think Spirit Stones are just roadside rocks?
"One Spirit Stone."
"Two Spirit Stones."
"Make a deal!"
Everyone was stunned by Lu Changsheng's offer, and in the end, Lu Changsheng bought the Flying Sword for 10,000 Spirit Stones.
Lu Changsheng could easily sell a Seventh-Grade Medicinal Pills for a million Spirit Stones, so he didn't really care about spending a few thousand or tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.
Lu Changsheng bid for the Houtian Spirit Treasure in order to acquire Innate Spirit Treasures and Immortal Artifacts.
The value of Immortal Artifact cannot be measured by a few million Spirit Stones.
"The next treasure to be auctioned is the Fourth-Grade Medicinal Pills, the 'Earth Spirit Pill'."
Another treasure was put up for auction, but Lu Changsheng remained unmoved and did not participate in the bidding.
Lu Changsheng has no shortage of Medicinal Pills; he currently Medicinal Pills enough to reward his disciples for a period of time.
"The Low-Grade Houtian Spirit Treasure 'Clear Wind Sword' has Formation inscribed by Formation Dao master on its blade, which can increase the speed of sword flight. Starting price: [price in coins Spirit Stones, increments of 1000 Spirit Stones each time."
"It's actually a Houtian Spirit Treasure inscribed with Formation; no wonder its price exceeds that of the Flying Star Sword."
"These acquired Houtian Spirit Treasures, inscribed with Formations, are incredibly valuable."
"Spirit Stone!"
"Spirit Stone!"
"Spirit Stone!"
"Spirit Stone!"
"Spirit Stone!"
Soon, the auction price of the Clear Wind Sword reached an astonishing 30,000 Spirit Stones.
"Spirit Stone."
Lu Changsheng made his bid.
The auction room fell silent once again.
Lu Changsheng directly raised the price by 10,000 Spirit Stones; who could resist that?
"Forty thousand Spirit Stones, sold."
Seeing that no one dared to bid against Lu Changsheng in the Heaven-Grade VIP box, the auctioneer brought down the gavel.
Lu Changsheng then bid on ten Flying Swords, three spears, two Spirit Brush, and six Daoist Robes, all of which were Low-Grade Houtian Spirit Treasure Law Treasures, totaling 600,000 Spirit Stones.
The cultivators at the auction knew that Lu Changsheng specialized in bidding on four types of Law Treasures: Flying Swords, spears, Spirit Brush, and Daoist Robes. Later on, whenever Swordsmanship appeared, Lu Changsheng would place a bid, and no one would compete with Lu Changsheng.
"The 'Flying Fire Sword,' Middle-Grade Houtian Spirit Treasure, has a small-scale Separation Fire Formation inscribed on its blade by Formation Dao master. The starting price is 150,000 Spirit Stones, with each bid increasing by 10,000 Spirit Stones."
"A mid-grade acquired Middle-Grade Houtian Spirit Treasure with Formations? That's a rare Swordsmanship!"
I'll offer 150,000 Spirit Stones!
160,000 Spirit Stones!
170,000 Spirit Stones!
"180,000 Spirit Stones!"
"200,000 Spirit Stones!"
Other sword cultivators, eyeing the Flying Sword, couldn't resist and began bidding, quickly driving Flying Sword price up to 200,000 Spirit Stones.
"250,000 Spirit Stones."
As expected, Lu Changsheng made another bid, outbidding all others.
The sword cultivators bidding against each other were on the verge of their Dao hearts collapsing.
At this Auction, Lu Changsheng Lu Changsheng bought all the Swordsmanship, acquiring thirteen Flying Swords in total.
"What's wrong with this guy? Ordinary sword cultivators have at most three Flying Swords: one for flying, one for slaying demons, and one as a spare. Why does he need thirteen Flying Swords?"
"Maybe this is what it means to be rich and willful."
"Silence! Those qualified to sit in the Heaven-Grade private room are all VIPs valued by Heavenly Treasure Trading Company. We cannot afford to offend them for a single Flying Sword. Perhaps they have other purposes for bidding on all the Flying Swords."
The crowd whispered amongst themselves, resigned to their fate.
"Sold for 250,000 Spirit Stones."
"The next treasure to be auctioned is quite special, named 'Profound Dragon Radiant Ink.' It cannot be classified into any grade and is suitable for those who cultivate Confucian Dao and Daoism, as it can enhance the power of Confucian Dao combat techniques. The starting price is 200,000 Spirit Stones, with each bid increasing by 10,000 Spirit Stones."
The auctioneer took out a piece of ink.
A deathly silence fell over the room.
Apart from the Great Confucian of the Academy of Letters and some reclusive literati, no one would want this treasure.
Moreover, the starting price of 200,000 Spirit Stones is far too expensive.
There were indeed Great Confucian present.
Even Nascent Soul Realm Great Confucian who goes bankrupt might not be able to come up with 200,000 Spirit Stones.
Only Great Confucian at the Dao Palace Realm would be willing to spend 200,000 Spirit Stones to exchange for a single ink stick.
If no one makes a bid, then this item will be sold...
"Wait a minute, I'll offer 200,000 Spirit Stones."
Lu Changsheng hesitated only briefly before buying it in one go.
This ink stick can help the Third Disciple Mo Huazhi, cultivate quickly; 200,000 Spirit Stones is still worth it.
The key point is that the Auction about to end, and Lu Changsheng may not be able to spend all the Spirit Stones.
"200,000 Spirit Stones, sold!"
The auctioneer quickly brought down the gavel.
He secretly broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, Lu Changsheng came to the rescue; otherwise, this treasure would have failed to sell at auction.
"Finally, there are two more Medicinal Pills up for auction, one Sixth-Grade Medicinal Pills and the other Seventh-Grade Medicinal Pills."
"A Seventh-Grade Medicinal Pills?!"
"There really are Seventh-Grade Medicinal Pills!"
The crowd erupted in cheers.
The Seventh-Grade Medicinal Pills is the last treasure to appear, and it is the most valuable!
"The Sixth-Grade Medicinal Pills Soul-Replenishing Pill can replenish the soul. You all know the value of Sixth-Grade Medicinal Pills; the starting price is 100,000 Spirit Stones, with each increment being 10,000 Spirit Stones."
The auctioneer first auctioned off the Sixth-Grade Medicinal Pills.
110,000 Spirit Stones!
"120,000 Spirit Stones!"
"130,000 Spirit Stones!"
"150,000 Spirit Stones!"
Although Sixth-Grade Medicinal Pills are rare, they are ultimately just consumables, and 150,000 Spirit Stones is already a high price.
The final bidder was a Dao Palace Realm cultivator who offered 150,000 Spirit Stones, but he was still not satisfied.
He glanced nervously at the Heaven-Grade box, where the mysterious, unparalleled master might make a bid at any moment.
