Behind the Heaven-Controlling Pavilion, in the auction hall, when the female cultivator in charge of the auction had a flash of light and revealed the second auction item, Han Yi was suddenly startled and her eyes widened suddenly.
In front of him, in the light curtain on the wall, when the spiritual light floated, a broken arm armor emerged. This arm armor Han Yi had never seen it before, but the aura on it was the same as that of Wanming Book.
If he blocked his sight and only observed the breath, he would mistake it for a weakened version of Wanming Book.
"Ten Thousand Nether City's thing!" Han Yi was determined in his heart.
really.
The female cultivator who presided over the auction slowly explained, "This object comes from Ancient Nether Dao Domain, a Tao domain overlord power for millions of years, Ten Thousand Nether City."
"This gauntlet should be part of a Heavenly Venerable ancient artifact. Although it is incomplete and has lost its spirituality, the material is excellent. After repair, it can reach the peak Tao level. In addition, fellow Daoists who know about Ten Thousand Nether City should know that the things in Ten Thousand Nether City are from the same source. Therefore, the research price of this gauntlet is also extremely high."
"Starting price: 300 million Dao Crystals, each increase in price shall not be less than 20 million Dao Crystals."
Before this, Han Yi had heard Daoist Su Yin mention that there would be incomplete Heavenly Venerable ancient artifacts at the auction, but he never expected that the first broken Heavenly Venerable ancient artifact he saw would actually have something to do with him.
certainly.
Strictly speaking, this gauntlet cannot be regarded as a broken Heavenly Venerable ancient artifact, because it is only a small part of a complete armor, and its spirituality has been completely lost. Its value is only the material and research value.
It is precisely because of this that its price is so low. The starting price is only the level of a slightly better high-end Daoist artifact.
Han Yi did not bid immediately, but waited for two interest rates before adding it to the bid, and the price increase was not fast. After all, this was only the second auction item, and its actual effect was not great. There were not many people participating in the auction.
When the quotation increased to 630 million, no one followed up. It lasted for three breaths and no one else made an offer. The hostess announced that this round of bidding was over, and Han Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
If it were anyone else who had spent 630 million Dao Crystals to bid for something that had little actual use, they would naturally think twice about it, but it was different for Han Yi. This was something that belonged to Ten Thousand Nether City. Maybe this gauntlet is the armor of a certain deputy city lord. He has the supreme inheritance of Ten Thousand Nether City, Wanming Book. Through Wanming Book, he may be able to develop unexpected effects.
In the light curtain on the wall, a monk took away the jade box, and another monk brought up a third jade box. The female cultivator in charge touched it again, and the aura reappeared. This time, it was a golden tripod.
After simply scanning the introduction of this three-legged tripod, Han Yi stopped paying attention. At the same time, there was a knock on his door, and a shopkeeper pushed the door in.
This shopkeeper was just a shopkeeper in the first step of the Dao Realm. He respectfully placed the jade box in front of Han Yi, and Han Yi put the 630 million Dao Crystals that needed to be paid into a universe space and gave it to the Dao Realm monk.
After the Daoist monk went down, he couldn't wait to open the jade box. The jade box didn't look big from the outside, but its internal space was quite large. A gauntlet of about half a meter was placed in it.
The arm armor is completely black and looks quite broken on the surface. The edges at both ends are not smooth and are slightly damaged.
Han Yi did not take it out, but took a deep breath and put it away patiently. This is not the place to check the arm armor. This is not just because this is Heaven-Controlling Pavilion. There may be surveillance in secret. He does not completely believe this place.
Moreover, because Wanming Book's body is in Fuheng Dao Domain, separated by a Dao Realm, Han Yi cannot sense Wanming Book, and cannot use the power of Wanming Book to inspect this gauntlet.
Therefore, the best time to inspect this gauntlet is to return to Fuheng Dao Domain or even Immemorial World.
After putting away the gauntlet, he continued to observe the auction.
The third auction item, a three-legged golden tripod, was auctioned for 890 million Dao crystals, while the fourth auction item, a bottle of strange liquid with special effects, sold for a high price of 1.36 billion. This bottle of strange liquid is called Dao-Chanting Elixir. It can increase the probability of Daluo Immortal to break through to the Dao realm by 50%.
Don't underestimate the 50% chance. Daluo breaks through to the Tao realm and becomes enlightened. This is the most important transformation for a monk.
Even Heavenly Venerable couldn't easily allow a Daluo monk to break through to the realm of enlightenment. However, this strange liquid could increase the probability of success in attaining enlightenment, causing rushes, which was inevitable. Even Han Yi increased the price several times, but after it exceeded one billion, he stopped.
The original Dao Crystals on his body, in addition to the more than 1.1 billion left after the last purchase of the Dao Sword, actually also include the large amount of Dao Crystals he obtained from many Wanming Incarnation. That amount of Dao Crystals is about 3.7 billion.
After buying the gauntlet just now, there are still 4.2 billion Tao realm left on my body.
If this Dao Crystal is not necessary, he will not take it at will, but will wait for the Source Crystal to appear before auctioning it off.
As time went by, each auction item was placed on the auction table and quickly auctioned away.
Han Yi is not impatient. This auction will last for three days. He has enough patience to wait. Moreover, even if the source crystal does not appear in this auction, he can wait for the next auction.
What surprised him was that eight hours later, a little half a day later, the source crystal he was looking forward to appeared on the auction stage.
"Next, the auction is for a batch of source crystals. This batch of source crystals has been auctioned in ten batches. The first auction is now going on."
"The starting price is: one billion Dao Crystals, and each increase in price shall not be less than 100 million Dao Crystals."
In the room, Han Yi suddenly raised his heart and stared at the light curtain. Through the light curtain, he saw three prismatic crystals in the aura. These three crystals were all light yellow and exuded an alluring aura.
Han Yi took a look at the panel and found that there was no prompt to find Life Seed on the panel. He couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
If he could absorb the source crystal through the air, he would absorb it through the air after the source crystal was auctioned, completing "free prostitution" in the true sense.
But unfortunately, the jade box containing the source crystal has a strong isolation effect, and even the panel cannot absorb it through air.
As the hostess's voice fell, quotations began to pop up one after another in the light curtain. These were the quotations from the monks in other rooms. Judging from the frequency of these pop-up quotations, most of the monks could not bear it anymore and joined in the bidding.
Han Yi is no exception. He quoted several prices one after another, but then they were covered by new quotes.
A full minute passed before the bidding competition for three Source Crystals gradually slowed down. Another ten breaths passed before any new bids appeared, and the final bid was fixed at 5.2 billion.
In the room, Han Yi shook his head slightly. The final price was obviously a serious premium.
He is not impatient. The hostess just said that there will be auctions in batches, and there will be nine more batches. The bidding should gradually return to rationality. It is not that he has no chance.
really.
The second batch of source crystals were also three yellow prismatic crystals. The frequency of quotations this time was relatively slower, and the transaction price was also fixed at 4.2 billion.
Next, the third batch, the fourth batch...
In the fifth batch, Han Yi decisively went all out and won three Source Crystals in a thrilling bidding at a high price of 3.9 billion. When it was finally confirmed that he had won, he was relieved.
He didn't dare wait until the next few elections because he didn't want to bet on whether prices would be more rational or crazy. Therefore, he was most reassured by settling for safety.
The price of 3.9 billion to win three source crystals is quite high. Even for those in the Hedao realm, it is expensive and nerve-wracking.
However, the Dao Crystal has little effect on Han Yi, and the Source Crystal can be transformed into Life Seed, which can improve his cultivation, realm, Daoism, etc., which is what he needs most urgently.
Next, the price of the sixth batch was lowered by another 300 million, with only 3.6 billion bids. The seventh batch rose to 3.8 billion, the ninth batch returned to 4 billion, and the tenth batch continued to last at 4 billion.
For Han Yi, if he waits until the sixth batch, he can still save 300 million Dao Crystals, but he has no regrets.
For the next few batches, he just watched, because there were more than 300 million Dao Crystals left in his body, which was far from enough to support his participation in the auction.
After all ten batches of Dao Jing were bid, the ten shopkeepers sent the Dao Jing with the corresponding batch number to the room of the auction winner. Han Yi also received its second jade box.
After he paid the source crystal, he did not open the jade box immediately, but quickly put it into Divine Aperture World. Then, he looked straight ahead. Although his face was calm, his heart was already excited.
Suddenly, the change he had expected and expected appeared, and his eyes glowed with blazing light.
At this moment, a line of text popped up on his retina and in the panel.
"Life Seed was found. Do you want to absorb it?"
When the female nun in charge put the jade box containing the source crystal on the auction table, Han Yi tried to check the panel to see if he could find Life Seed and absorb it through the air. At that time, he found that it was not possible, so he guessed that it was the special function of the jade box that blocked the Life Seed from spreading.
At that time, Han Yi anticipated another scenario, that is, if other monks auctioned the source crystal, they would definitely open the jade box. Once the jade box was opened, although the isolation and detection effect of these rooms was also very strong, it was definitely not as good as Heaven-Controlling Pavilion's special jade box. In this case, with the help of the panel, he was very likely to be able to directly discover Life Seed.
And he has decided that if he discovers Life Seed, he will definitely absorb it quickly.
At this moment, the expected change finally appeared. Han Yi almost without thinking. After this line of text popped up, he responded quickly in his heart, "Absorb".
In an instant, the 134681 units of Life Seed in his panel started to change and grow upwards.
And just when his Life Seed was increasing, in a room not close to him, a Hedao realm monk was looking at the three yellow prismatic crystals that had just been taken out of the jade box. In his eyes, the light yellow luster emitted by these three crystals was the most dazzling color in the world.
But immediately, his expression changed slightly, because he keenly noticed that the original aura inside these three source crystals began to gradually decrease.
As a great monk in the Hedao Realm, his thoughts were so quick. He quickly sealed the Source Crystal with Daoist Forbidden Techniques, but he still couldn't stop the flow. He put it into the Tao Realm in his body, but it was still the same. Just before he thought that there was something wrong with the Heaven-Controlling Pavilion batch of Source Crystals for auction, he tried to put them back into the jade box, closed the lid, and after a few breaths passed, he opened the jade box and found that the original aura of the Source Crystal had not weakened during this process.
"No, the source crystal should be fine. The problem is the environment here. Something is stealing the source crystal's energy by means I don't know."
"It's not a good place to stay for a long time."
As a monk in the Hedao Realm, his judgment was extremely accurate, and he did not go to the Heaven-Controlling Pavilion for comment immediately, because doing so would only cause him to be kicked out by the Heaven-Controlling Pavilion. You know, Heavenly Venerable was in the Heaven-Controlling Pavilion. If he was found to be causing trouble, Heavenly Venerable would take action and wipe him out completely with just one blow.
After judging that there was something wrong with the surrounding environment and unable to find any clues, he quickly took the jade box and left, escaping from the Heaven-Controlling Pavilion. After escaping for a long distance, at a high altitude, he opened the jade box again and found that the previous situation had not occurred. He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sure enough, my judgment was correct."
"However, there is a way to steal the original energy in the source crystal through the air. It is really incredible. I have never heard of it."
The Hedao realm monk left quickly with a jade box in hand.
In the auction behind the Heaven-Controlling Pavilion, there were several monks who had the same experience as this monk who opened the jade box. These monks also quickly judged the problem and were quite decisive whether they closed the jade box or left the auction.
Of course, some monks came directly to the Heaven-Controlling Pavilion and asked for an explanation.
In a certain room, Han Yi absorbed Life Seed intermittently. When finally any connection was completely broken and he could no longer absorb, the Life Seed he got was only more than 2,000 units.
He shook his head slightly, feeling a pity, but he also knew that in the Heaven-Controlling Pavilion, this was the limit of what he could "steal". Others in the Hedao realm were not fools. They could not let Life Seed pass by all the time. They would definitely react quickly. The easiest way was to put it back into the jade box again.
Therefore, he also expected that the Life Seed he could absorb was definitely extremely limited, but as much as he could absorb, this feeling of "free prostitution" was quite good.
Although this small storm lasted for a short time, a Hedao realm monk asked Heaven-Controlling Pavilion to give an explanation, which still attracted the attention of several deputy pavilion masters of the Heaven-Controlling Pavilion. These deputy masters were all Hedao realm, and they quietly came out. They even used a Heavenly Venerable ancient artifact sitting in the pavilion to investigate and trace it, but in the end, there was no clue at all. Even the deputy pavilion masters of the Hedao realm began to wonder if there was really something wrong with the Dao crystals auctioned.
And the initiator of all this couldn't help but feel a shiver in his heart after he noticed a vague wave that swept over him without stopping and left instantly.
"Sure enough, there is still a risk in rashly absorbing Life Seed. Fortunately, the panel is extremely mysterious, far beyond the Heavenly Venerable ancient artifact, and it is impossible to detect it." (End of this chapter)
