Song Changsheng's eyes were instantly attracted to it. After waiting for so long, his target finally appeared!
Xia Wanyun clapped his hands gently, and several waiters carried a tall tiger-shaped skeleton into everyone's sight.
The skeleton is one foot high and several feet long. Every bone maintains its integrity. There is no trace of flesh and blood left, and no obvious scars can be seen.
Its bones are white and crystal clear, with Demon Qi faintly circulating, which is the symbol of Second-Tier Demonic Beast. As long as it reaches the second level, Demon Beast's flesh, flesh and bones will undergo earth-shaking changes, and its strength will increase dramatically.
If you remove any leg bone from above, its strength is only slightly inferior to Law Artifact of the same level, and leg bones, teeth, claws, tailbone, etc. are excellent materials for weapon refining.
For such a big piece, even if it is taken apart, the selling value will not be too low.
However, Song Changsheng is not too worried, because in this auction, this White Tiger Skeleton is nothing, and there is no need for ordinary people to bid.
It's impossible to take it back and dismantle it into refining materials and sell it. Wouldn't that mean you'd lose all your pants?
Of course, if you have a unique taste, you can buy it and make soup.
Closer to home, there are only two types of competitors that he needs to be wary of. One of them is his colleague - Artifact Forger. Faced with such material, even Artifact Forger will be moved.
But this type of people are also the best at weighing the pros and cons. As long as the value exceeds their psychological expectations, they will usually stop buying. If they can get 20,000 Spirit Stone, it is not bad, and there is nothing to worry about.
The second type is what Song Changsheng is most worried about - Puppet Master.
Puppet Master can be said to be a variant of Artifact Forger. They specialize in all kinds of Puppet. These Puppet have a wide variety of styles and are widely used.
And they generally don't pick materials, whether they are alive or dead, they can refine them into suitable Puppet. Such a well-preserved White Tiger skeleton would be enough to refine a Beast Bone Puppet comparable to Foundation Establishment Cultivator in their hands.
The value is somewhat difficult to estimate. It is possible to get tens of thousands of Spirit Stone. Spirit Stone on Song Changsheng is really not very safe.
"I hope I won't meet them." Song Changsheng said secretly in his heart.
At this time, the following Xia Wanyun spoke, "Fellow Daoists and seniors, this White Tiger skeleton is very well preserved. It is a very good choice whether it is for refining weapons or refining Puppet.
Its base price is 5,000 yuan Spirit Stone. Each increase in price shall not be less than 500 yuan. The higher bidder will win. Please bid by yourself. "
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a fat middle-aged man on the first floor who raised the sign in his hand and said loudly, "I offer 6,000 yuan Spirit Stone!"
A Foundation Establishment Cultivator on the second floor was not to be outdone and said loudly, "I will pay Spirit Stone 6,500 yuan."
As Song Changsheng expected, not many people were interested in this White Tiger skeleton. There were just a few people bidding back and forth. After several rounds, the price went up to 10,000 yuan for Spirit Stone.
Finally, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator on the second floor suddenly raised the price to 15,000. This price instantly persuaded most people to quit. After all, this was no longer a small amount, and some Foundation Establishment Cultivator might not be able to afford it.
Moreover, even if you can take it out, you still have to see whether it is worth the money. This auction is still early. If you are lavishing money now, wouldn't it be embarrassing later when you are unable to get the things you need for your cultivation Spirit Stone?
As a result, most people chose to stop, including the fat man who made the bid at the beginning.
"This fellow Daoist in the box offered 15,000 yuan Spirit Stone. Is there any more?" Xia Wanyun gently shook the wooden-handled mallet in his hand, indicating that he was about to drop the hammer.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Song Changsheng shouted decisively, "I offer sixteen thousand yuan Spirit Stone."
He deliberately made his voice hoarse and old in order to prevent Earth Fire Sect from discovering his identity. He had dealt with Cheng Yufei a lot. He could hear the other person's voice and judge his identity, and the reverse was also true. As soon as he opened his mouth, the old fox Cheng Yufei would definitely find out the clues.
In order to prevent this guy from causing trouble for himself, Song Changsheng had no choice but to choose this method to hide his identity.
"Seventeen thousand yuan Spirit Stone." In a private room on the second floor, a young monk with a sinister expression and a maid in his arms frowned and reported another number.
Song Changsheng naturally will not back down and increases the price by one thousand again.
The young monk suddenly became angry and said in a bad tone, "I will pay 20,000!"
Although he noticed the change in the other party's tone, Song Changsheng ignored his thoughts. He had been preparing for so long, and it was impossible for him to give in.
So he followed closely and increased it to 20,000.
"Bang!" The young monk was furious, smashed the table with a slap, and said coldly, "Friend across the way, I Wu Luochuan have taken a liking to this skeleton. If you are willing to stop here, I promise to refine a Puppet for you."
"It's actually Wu Luochuan!"
When Song Changsheng heard the other party announcing his home address, Song Changsheng didn't feel much at all, but Song Qingluo on the side immediately exclaimed in surprise.
"Why, he is very famous?" Song Changsheng frowned and thought for a while, realizing that he had never heard of this person's name.
Song Qingluo nodded solemnly and said, "This person is a second-level Puppet Master. He is quite famous in Sunset City. Many Foundation Establishment Cultivator beg him to refine Puppet."
"I'm really afraid of what will happen." Song Changsheng frowned. He was very aware of the attraction of this skeleton to Puppet Master. It seemed that there would be a "fierce battle" today.
If it were something else, he would be happy to give it up and make friends with a highly skilled Puppet Master, but this was really not possible. There would be no such shop after this village.
So he also said, "This fellow Daoist, I really need it very much. If you are willing to part with me, I promise to refine a second-level Law Artifact for you."
Wu Luochuan's face instantly darkened when he heard this, and he said angrily, "Then let's all rely on our abilities, twenty-three thousand yuan Spirit Stone!"
"It seems there is no need to talk anymore, twenty-four thousand yuan Spirit Stone!" Song Changsheng followed closely.
The two of them went back and forth, and the price of the White Tiger skeleton soon soared to 30,000 yuan Spirit Stone. At this point, Song Changsheng didn't have much money left. If the other party could still catch it, he planned to shout to the top at once. If he couldn't scare Wu Luochuan, it would only mean that he had no chance with this White Tiger Tooth.
On the other side, Wu Luochuan also felt a bit stuck. His main goal today was actually not this White Tiger Skeleton, but a Second-Tier Peak-Grade Puppet.
The Spirit Stone he prepared was not too much, and he had already used a lot of it before. If he continued to compete with Song Changsheng, the Spirit Stone he had left would not be enough to win the Puppet.
Wu Luochuan thought for a while with a gloomy face, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "I abstain!"
Compared to White Tiger Skeleton, Second-Tier Peak-Grade Puppet is more important.
Seeing him giving up, Song Changsheng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and felt stable now.
As the hammer in Xia Wanyun's hand fell, the ownership of White Tiger Skeleton was finally determined.
Song Changsheng called the maid outside the door to come in and give some instructions. Soon she came in with a Storage Bag and said respectfully, "Here are the treasures you photographed. Please take a look."
After he checked it and confirmed that it was the skeleton, he took out 30,000 yuan and gave it to the maid, which made him feel quite painful. Now he only had less than 4,000 Spirit Stone left in his possessions.
Although he got what he wanted, he was not in a hurry to leave. After all, the Law Treasure and the final treasure had not yet come out. He also wanted to broaden his horizons...
The auction lasted until the morning of the next day, and several extraordinary treasures appeared during the auction, which attracted Purple Palace Cultivator to personally compete for them.
The Low-Grade Magic Treasure also appeared. It was a Flying Sword, tightly bound by layers of Restriction. Despite this, the Sword Qi was still radiating, which was frightening.
Law Treasure has given birth to Artifact Spirit, and has a certain sense of autonomy. Even if no one is controlling it, it can still exert considerable power. Without the restraint of Restriction, no one knows how many of these Qi Condensation Cultivator on the first floor will die under this sword.
Law Treasure is powerful, and the price is also outrageous. The base price is 50,000 yuan for Spirit Stone. Purple Palace Cultivator came to the auction in person, and the price continued to rise, forcing out many Foundation Establishment Cultivator who were interested in blending it.
In the end, this Law Treasure was sold for two thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stone, which is two hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, and was pocketed by the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Song Changsheng couldn't help but secretly marvel, two hundred thousand Spirit Stone is more than Song Clan's total income in several years.
"Fellow Daoists, next is the finale treasure of this auction, please look here."
Xia Wanyun was a little tired after presiding over the auction for a day and a night, but when she talked about the last treasure, she suddenly became a little excited, and an intoxicating blush quickly appeared on her face, making her look even more charming.
Although it has come to an end, the auction house is still full of people, and they are unwilling to leave even if they do not participate in the bidding, such as Song Changsheng.
Because everyone wants to see with their own eyes what this secret treasure of the auction is.
Other auctions would more or less reveal a little bit of information about the final treasure in order to attract people, but this one kept it tightly covered and there was no news at all, arousing everyone's curiosity.
Seeing that everyone was looking over, Xia Wanyun smiled brightly and solemnly took out an exquisite jade box, but did not open it, but just held it in his hand and showed it around.
Everyone was a little confused, this finale is just a box?
This is obviously impossible, just listen to Xia Wanyun's sweet voice. "Fellow Daoists and seniors, the jade box in the hands of the slave family contains the last auction item of this auction, and inside is a [Pyro Essence]!"
As soon as these words came out, it immediately caused an uproar. Some people were extremely excited while others were confused. For example, Song Qingluo, he had never heard of what it was.
This knowledge is something that every clan member in Lineage must master, but since he has lived here since he was a child, he has indeed fallen behind a lot in theoretical knowledge. Song Changsheng immediately gave him a popular science guide. "Do you know what conditions are needed for Purple Palace Cultivator to break through Golden Core?"
This is a common sense question, and Song Qingluo immediately answered, "If Purple Palace Cultivator wants to break through Golden Core Stage, we must first complete Five Elements Power, and then smelt Pill Formula into gold in the Purple Mansion."
Song Changsheng nodded and asked, "Then what is the most difficult part of this."
Song Qingluo thought for a while and said, "Our Human Race is going to [Five-Element Golden Core Path], so the most difficult point should be to complete Five Elements Power.
Although the human body is born with Five Elements, it has strengths and weaknesses. The strong one is the monk's Spirit Root, called Manifest Spiritual Root, while the weak one is Latent Spiritual Root, who cannot absorb spiritual energy.
Except for the Variant Spiritual Root monks who were created under special circumstances, only the Five-Element Spiritual Root monks can try to break through Golden Core without completing Five Elements Power.
The rest are more or less needed. For example, as I am Water-Fire-Earth Three-Element Spiritual Root, I need to supplement the power of metal and wood to make myself Five Elements balanced before I can step into Golden Core Great Dao. However, this process is very long, and many Purple Palace Cultivator stop here. "
Heavenly Dao, before Golden Core, the fewer Spirit Root, the faster the cultivation speed. Therefore, there is only one kind of Manifest Spiritual Root monk, which is called Heavenly Spiritual Root. In fact, this is a "defective product".
They practiced quickly before Golden Core Stage, with almost no bottlenecks, but to break through Golden Core, they needed to complete four types of Five Elements Power, which took more time than others. Variant Spiritual Root was even worse, having to complete five types.
The Five-Element Spiritual Root monk who was the slowest in cultivation is actually the easiest. As long as the cultivation level is reached, he can try to break through Golden Core.
Everyone knows that it is relatively easy for Five-Element Spiritual Root to break through Golden Core, but everyone still defines those with less Spirit Root as geniuses and those with more Spirit Root as mediocre. The lower the power level, the more serious this phenomenon is.
Is it Tianxia are all people stupid?
Of course not, it's just because Five-Element Spiritual Root's cultivation speed is too slow. The resources required to cultivate to Purple Palace Stage are dozens of times that of Heavenly Spiritual Root. It is even more hellishly difficult and may fail at any time.
Not to mention that small forces can't afford it, even big forces can't afford it.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of smart people in this world.
So a long time ago, someone proposed a solution, and there was more than one solution.
The first is to directly abandon [Five-Element Golden Core Path]. The proposer believes that Heavenly Spiritual Root and Variant Spiritual Root monks are born with only one kind of Spirit Root. Why not take it to the extreme? As long as you can understand Power of Principle, you can still break through Golden Core.
This road proved to be feasible, but more difficult than [Five-Element Golden Core Path], and was later called [One-Origin Golden Core Path].
The second type is completely different. Its proposer discovered that some Five Elements Spiritual Object can be refined into the human body, thereby directly converting Latent Spiritual Root into Manifest Spiritual Root. For example, [Pyro Essence], after being refined, the water Wood Spiritual Root monk can become the water, wood, and fire Three-Element Spiritual Root monk.
This method is gentler and faster than [One-Origin Golden Core Path], but it tests financial resources. After all, each piece of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object is extremely expensive.
After some explanations, Song Qingluo finally understood why everyone was so crazy. This was equivalent to competing for Fortuitous Encounter to break through Golden Core!
Just as the two were talking, the Purple Palace Cultivator from all the major forces went crazy, and the price soared to 250,000 Spirit Stone, surpassing the previous Law Treasure, and it was still rising.
The corner of Song Changsheng's mouth twitched. He finally understood why the Heavenly Spiritual Root and Variant Spiritual Root monks chose to leave [One-Origin Golden Core Path].
Without him, I just hate the lack of financial resources!
