Phantom God Eye Technique, Obtained!

Inside the private room, the Purple Skirt Woman parted her cherry lips and said calmly, "Xiao Lan, bid 900 Spirit Stones."

Maid Xiao Lan asked, "Miss, are you interested in this incomplete Phantom God Eye Technique?"

The Purple Skirt Woman said softly, "I merely wished to study it a little and see what was so special about the secret art of a dignified Core Formation Sect."

Xiao Lan nodded. "Yes, this servant understands."

"900 Spirit Stones."

In another private room, Zhou Kui called out loudly, "1,000 Spirit Stones."

Zhou Li asked doubtfully, "Father, do you want to bid for this incomplete eye technique?"

Zhou Kui pondered. "Though incomplete, it can strengthen one's Spiritual Sense foundation. It would indeed help one condense divine sense when attempting Foundation Establishment."

"Even if the benefit is limited, it is still worth studying."

Zhou Li nodded. "So that is how it is."

Li Qingyuan circulated a trace of spiritual power, changing his voice as he called out, "1,100 Spirit Stones."

The starting price was not high. I have several thousand Spirit Stones—I will surely win it, and I must win it.

The fact that it could allow one to cultivate divine sense during the Qi Refining Stage alone made it worth Five Thousand Spirit Stones.

At first, aside from the three of them, several Late Qi Condensation Cultivators were also quite interested and tried to join the bidding.

Before long, the price reached two thousand Spirit Stones, and the other cultivators chose to withdraw.

Zhou Kui said flatly, "2,700 Spirit Stones."

The Purple Skirt Woman sipped her tea. Her exquisite face remained calm and unruffled as she bid, "2,800 Spirit Stones."

Li Qingyuan said, "3,000 Spirit Stones."

"..." Zhou Kui fell silent.

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Kui chose to give up. "Forget it. It is a tasteless morsel, like chicken ribs—little meat, much trouble."

Zhou Li agreed, "Yes. If this eye technique were not missing that final layer, and could help someone cultivate divine sense during the Qi Refining Stage, even ten thousand Spirit Stones might not be enough to obtain it."

"Moreover, within a Foundation Establishment Immortal Clan, it would be a first-rate family secret art. They would never permit it to leak."

Maid Xiao Lan asked, "Miss, shall we raise the bid?"

The Purple Skirt Woman shook her head. "Forget it."

"Though I do not lack Spirit Stones, this incomplete eye technique is clearly not worth that price."

"Besides, even if the cultivation method were complete, it would take time to cultivate. It is far less effective and swift than the clan's Spirit Condensing Pill."

Hearing this, Xiao Lan said in agreement, "Miss has brilliant insight."

Liu Yunming swept his gaze around the room and said loudly, "Fellow Daoists, is anyone raising the bid?"

"Three thousand Spirit Stones, going once. Three thousand Spirit Stones, going twice. Three thousand Spirit Stones, going three times."

Clang!

Liu Yunming struck the bronze gong and said happily, "Congratulations to this fellow Daoist for obtaining the Phantom God Eye Technique."

"Once the auction ends, please proceed backstage to complete the transaction."

"Next is one of the three grand finale treasures of this auction."

Liu Yunming said loudly, "A Top-grade First-tier Pill—the Jade Spirit Pill."

"This Jade Spirit Pill is refined primarily from Hundred Year Spirit Milk and a First-grade Top-grade Spirit Plant, the Jade Spirit Fruit, supplemented by other spirit plants."

As soon as these words were spoken, the breathing of the Qi Condensation Eighth Layer and Qi Condensation Ninth Layer cultivators grew rapid, their eyes blazing with fervor.

"It is actually a Top-grade First-tier Pill—the Jade Spirit Pill."

"The Jade Spirit Pill is a breakthrough pill that can give a Qi Condensation Ninth Layer Perfection cultivator an additional fifty percent chance of quickly advancing to the Qi Condensation Tenth Layer."

"With a fifty percent chance, combined with one's own cultivation foundation, so long as one is not an elderly cultivator whose potential has been exhausted, one can basically rely on this pill to step into the Qi Condensation Tenth Layer and avoid several years of bitter cultivation."

"Besides breaking through realms, the Jade Spirit Pill can treat all internal and external injuries, allowing Qi Refining Stage cultivators to instantly recover from their wounds and restore their spiritual power cultivation."

"Exactly. So long as one has not lost an arm, every external injury can be healed within the Qi Refining Stage."

"..."

Li Qingyuan thought, The temptation this Jade Spirit Pill held for Qi Condensation Eighth Layer and Qi Condensation Ninth Layer cultivators was comparable to the temptation a Foundation Establishment Pill held for Qi Condensation Tenth Layer cultivators.

Liu Yunming chuckled and said, "Fellow Daoists, the bidding begins. The starting price is 2,000 Spirit Stones, and each increase must be no less than 50 Spirit Stones."

Late Qi Condensation Cultivators, First-rate Qi Condensation Families, Second-rate Qi Condensation Families, Rogue Cultivators from every corner, merchant associations, and the upper echelons of hunting mercenary groups all went wild over it.

The various powers bid against one another, and in the span of a quarter-hour, the price of the Jade Spirit Pill swiftly reached the three-thousand-Spirit-Stone mark.

Among the crowd, Li Guangao wore a bitter expression.

At this auction, with his status as the head of a Third-rate Qi Condensation Family and a Qi Condensation Level 7 cultivator, he actually—actually—stood there like a mere lackey, without even the qualifications to bid.

"Alas, our Li Clan still lacks too many Spirit Stones."

"The clan's development bears a heavy burden and has a long road ahead."

"Fortunately, we have that child Qingyuan."

In the end, the head of a First-rate Qi Condensation Family from an island outside Willow Crane Island successfully won the bid with 3,900 Spirit Stones.

Liu Yunming grinned from ear to ear and chuckled. "Congratulations to this fellow Daoist for obtaining the Jade Spirit Pill."

"Next is the second of the three grand finale treasures—a complete Inheritance Jade Slip for quasi-Second-grade Talisman Paper."

As soon as these words were spoken, many talisman masters caught their breath.

"A complete inheritance for quasi-Second-grade Talisman Paper?"

"Such a precious inheritance is only the second of the three grand finale treasures?"

"Could this auction truly have a Foundation Establishment Pill?"

"..."

Liu Yunming pressed down with his hand and said, "Fellow Daoists, this talisman paper inheritance came from Talisman Master Zhao Tu, one of the three great talisman masters."

"Twelve varieties of First-grade Low-rank Talisman Paper, six varieties of Tier 1 Mid-grade Talisman Paper; four varieties of Tier 1 High-grade Talisman Paper, two varieties of First-grade Top-rank Talisman Paper, as well as one Second-grade Low-rank Talisman Paper."

"This is an exceptionally complete inheritance of quasi-Second-grade Talisman Paper. It could even be called an inheritance of Second-grade Low-rank Talisman Paper."

Everyone was shocked.

"It is actually the talisman paper inheritance that Elder Zhao spent his entire life developing?"

"Elder Zhao is actually willing to auction off his own Talisman Path Inheritance?"

"This is a complete inheritance of quasi-Second-grade, even Second-grade Low-rank Talisman Paper!"

"..."

Li Qingyuan thought, Well, well. That old bastard Zhao Tu really is eating one fish in many ways.

At the talisman master exchange gathering, he repeatedly sold jade slips for First-grade High-rank and First-grade Top-rank Talisman Paper. At the auction, he was even selling an entire set of Talisman Path Inheritance.

He had truly thrown his face away.

Could it be... Li Qingyuan suddenly froze and thought secretly, Gathering so many Spirit Stones—could he be planning to...

Liu Yunming said loudly, "Fellow Daoists, the starting price is 2,500 Spirit Stones, and each increase must be no less than 50 Spirit Stones."

To the various powers and clan talisman masters of the Five Great Islands and the Thirty-Six Archipelagos, Zhao Tu's Talisman Path Inheritance represented one of the three great pinnacles.

If they could obtain Zhao Tu's Talisman Path Inheritance and thoroughly study it, their clans, powers, or merchant associations could advance another step. They could become the strongest force below Foundation Establishment, surpassing many First-rate Powers.

Let alone talisman masters—even clans and powers without talisman masters joined the bidding.

"2,800 Spirit Stones... 3,100 Spirit Stones..."

"3,500 Spirit Stones... 4,000 Spirit Stones..."

This contest was exceedingly fierce, even livelier than the bidding for the Top-grade First-tier Pill, the Jade Spirit Pill.

In the end, a certain cultivator successfully obtained the quasi-Second-grade Talisman Paper Inheritance Jade Slip with 4,800 Spirit Stones, becoming the victor.

Now, it was time for the final auction item.

At this moment, even Li Qingyuan could not help taking a deep breath. Sweat formed in his palms as he unconsciously rubbed his knees. Like every cultivator present, his breathing became heavy and drawn out.

Everyone stared at the jade box in Liu Yunming's hand, holding their breath as they waited for his announcement.

At that moment, even Liu Yunming's breathing stalled. He formed a hand seal to undo the jade box's seal and opened it, revealing a pill.

The pill gleamed with light. It was jade-green throughout, with Elixir Patterns emerging upon its surface and spiritual radiance overflowing. A rich medicinal fragrance filled the air, refreshing the heart and mind, stirring the spiritual power within the surrounding cultivators.

The hearts of the cultivators jolted. "It really is..."

Liu Yunming said loudly, "The final auction item is—a Foundation Establishment Pill!"

Uproar!

The entire venue erupted in an uproar!
