Soul-Subduing Mind Technique, Heaven-Defying Bidding

On the stage,

A servant walked slowly, holding a tray with a crystal jade slip standing quietly on it. Zhao Huai knew that the cultivation method he had been waiting for had arrived.

Judging from the high-end packaging, this was clearly a cultivation method of no low grade.

"This cultivation method is called Soul-Subduing Mind Technique. After practicing it, one can strengthen their mental power. It is a rare cultivation method that focuses on enhancing mental power, but the content is a bit too profound."

Li Yuanxing pointed to the jade slip, introducing it to the guests below the stage.

"A mental-type mind technique? Indeed rare."

"Soul-Subduing Mind Technique, the name sounds familiar. I seem to remember that as early as a hundred years ago, the famous academy Sole-Mind Dao Sect once became famous for a time with this mind technique. It is said that many disciples of the sect used it to suppress a large number of demons."

"Sole-Mind Dao Sect, ah, it has long since declined. The reason why the Immortal Dao is evergreen is because it can constantly update and iterate, getting rid of the old to bring forth the new. Their cultivation method is long outdated, no wonder it has declined."

Many cultivators and heroes present discussed with great interest, talking about the past of the Soul-Subduing Mind Technique. Many people believed that such a partial cultivation method was just a small path, difficult to bring to the big stage.

Zhao Huai naturally heard these words. He felt that this cultivation method should not be snatched by many people, and he should be much more relaxed.

At the same time, he silently began to toss the copper coins.

[Misfortune and fortune depend on each other, let's just watch it]

[Divination Sign One: Unity of Dao Heart, Dual Cultivation of Divine Might, facing an unknown cultivation method, bid for it, the instruction you get is "Fortune".]

Tracing Guidance: This is a suppression-type mind technique cultivation method.

[Divination Sign Two: The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional, you plan to give up this declining cultivation method, the instruction you get is "Misfortune".]

Tracing Guidance: The listener's origin is not righteous, and their purpose is impure.

"A rare cultivation method, it seems I still have to fight for it."

Zhao Huai's sharp eyes swept across the entire auction venue, and he saw four mysterious men wearing masks. In the hot weather, he didn't know why they were covering their faces, as if they were ugly.

The clothes were surprisingly consistent, they should all be from one force. Their eyes were all fixed on the jade slip, and the gleam in their eyes was about to overflow.

It seems that there are still people who know the goods, can't be careless.

Zhao Huai thought secretly.

"The starting price of Soul-Subduing Mind Technique is five thousand taels, or five hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones, and each bid shall not be less than one-tenth of the original price."

Li Yuanxing raised his hand and announced: "The auction begins immediately!"

"Six thousand taels!"

The first masked youth in the four-person seat raised his hand and directly added a thousand taels.

This price still surprised many people at the scene, after all, cultivation methods are not as practical and direct as elixirs, talismans, and magic weapons.

It is possible that you will not be able to learn the cultivation method, or you will not be proficient in it, and it may also be incompatible with your physique, so it is often targeted.

"Six thousand five hundred taels."

A middle-aged businessman with a tough face also smiled and raised the price.

"It's not bad to buy it for collection, after all, it is the inheritance of a former Immortal cultivation sect, to absorb some immortal energy."

"Eight thousand taels."

The masked youth raised his hand again, adding the price expressionlessly.

This time it was an increase of two thousand taels!

The expressions of everyone, including the middle-aged businessman, were a little surprised.

"We really need this cultivation method, I hope you all give us some face." The masked youth directly transmitted his voice with true energy. His voice was extremely hoarse and dry, very unpleasant to hear, and did not sound like it could be made by a human, it was extremely strange.

At the same time, the masked youth had his own pressure of a high-level cultivator, making the surrounding people afraid to breathe.

So immediately no one bid, after all, it would be a blood loss to buy a cultivation method that you may not be able to learn for more than eight thousand taels, right?

"Ten thousand taels, I want it."

A lazy voice sounded, with a faint hint of doubt in his tone.

It was Zhao Huai who was in the luxury private room.

This immediately attracted the attention of the guests present.

After all, this room had never made a sound before, and now it was actually bidding! No one knew which big shot from Jin Province was sitting inside, putting on such a grand display, mentioning ten thousand taels right off the bat.

They all began to wonder if they had misjudged; was this cultivation method really that good?

"Good! Ten thousand taels, any higher bids?"

Li Yuanxing saw the Soul-Subduing Mind Technique being contested, and even though he was surprised on the surface, he was happy in his heart. To sell a dusty cultivation method from his inventory for ten thousand taels was an incredible profit.

He immediately followed up with a question, as if fueling the fire.

Hearing Zhao Huai's voice, a flash of ferocity crossed the masked youth's eyes. He glanced at the private room above, his expression unfriendly.

The other masked people around him looked at him questioningly.

"Boss, should we kill him?"

"Don't cause trouble. It's not easy to come here, and there are strong people sitting guard," the masked youth shook his head, then raised his hand.

"Ten thousand taels, plus three hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones."

Zhao Huai, in his sable fur recliner, sat up slightly straighter, surprised. "Oh ho, this is the real deal, directly pulling out spirit stones."

He had underestimated the other party's determination.

"Ten thousand taels, plus five hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones."

Zhao Huai followed decisively.

"Ten thousand taels, plus one thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones."

The masked youth's expression was extremely indifferent.

Zhao Huai frowned upon seeing this situation.

He had run into a tough customer. Could it be a shill? He had originally thought that it would be good enough to get a satisfactory cultivation method this time, so he had brought a limited amount of money. He didn't expect that at this critical moment, someone would be so stubborn and compete with him for something.

If he wanted to snatch it, he could certainly take out most of his wealth, but it wasn't really worth it.

He hesitated for a moment.

In the past, he certainly wouldn't have hesitated for even half a day, after all, money could be earned again, it was just dirt.

But now, he had just gotten married and taken a new wife, and the family was in a time of spending money. Would his extravagance affect the foundation?

"Brother, do you seem to be having some difficulties?"

At this time, the youth in the dark green robe, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said with a smile.

"It's not so much a difficulty, just a bit of a dilemma,"

Zhao Huai glanced at him indifferently, not hiding anything, and explained directly.

"Why don't I help you out, just to make a friend."

"Oh?"

Zhao Huai stared at him with caution.

The youth in the dark green robe smiled helplessly and spread his hands. "Don't misunderstand, I just want to find a teacher to teach me Qi Refining."

"Why are you looking for me?"

Zhao Huai asked, puzzled.

The youth in the dark green robe said with a serious face, "I have a feeling that you are very powerful."

"Ten thousand taels, plus one thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, once!"

Zhao Huai heard the voice and knew there was no time to consider, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I agree."

"How much money can you contribute?"

"Not much, but it will definitely be enough to help you get this cultivation method," the youth in the dark green robe said with great confidence, then raised his hand and shouted:

"Three thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.

Three thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, what kind of concept is that? The exchange rate between Spirit Stones and silver is one to ten, so three thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones is a full thirty thousand taels of silver! That's almost his entire net worth!

You have to know that the tax revenue of Jin Province for a year is only ninety thousand taels of silver! Crazy, they're all crazy!

Zhao Huai was also very surprised when he heard this, and said, "Can you do it? This is not a small amount."

"Senior, don't worry."

The young man in the dark green robe tilted his head, smiled brightly, and gave a thumbs up, saying, "My dad is the Prefect, so I'm not afraid."
