Seeing that no one spoke, the Tang Sect elder who had spoken earlier sat back down, looking somewhat embarrassed.

The final sale price of the pills reached forty-five million. That price was already quite high, and in any case, Li Moxun was very satisfied.

Though that price was not enough to buy a ten-thousand-year spirit herb, such herbs were only worth around ten million Federal Coins.

It was just that, to the Federation, spirit herbs were strategic-level resources, and obtaining them was far too difficult. That was why they could not be bought.

After the three bottles of pills were sold, the next two items brought onstage were both spirit bones.

The first was a thousand-year spirit bone, produced by the Spirit Pagoda.

It was a type of spirit bone generated by soul beasts inside the Spirit Ascension Platform. This kind of spirit bone was somewhat similar to an Electronic Spirit Bone and could be stored through data streams, but in itself, it also counted as a true spirit bone.

The final sale price of this spirit bone was around sixteen million.

The second was a normal spirit bone, and it was a ten-thousand-year spirit bone.

Li Moxun did not care about the introduction to this spirit bone at all, but he joined the bidding for it all the same.

"This comes from a wolf-type soul beast known as the Forest Wolf. It is a relatively common type of ten-thousand-year spirit bone. The current starting price is seven million five hundred thousand. Bidding begins now."

As the young man spoke, he did not cover the spirit bone. Instead, he displayed it openly for everyone to view.

Looking at the spirit bone, a thoughtful look appeared in Li Moxun's eyes.

The quality of this spirit bone was not important to him. It only needed to be a ten-thousand-year spirit bone.

Whether it was a ten-thousand-year spirit bone or a thousand-year spirit bone, he needed them very much.

"I bid eight million five hundred thousand."

"I bid nine million Federal Coins."

"Nine million five hundred thousand Federal Coins."

"I bid ten million. This price is already quite high. For an ordinary type of ten-thousand-year spirit bone like this, its value to a truly talented soul master is inferior to that of a suitable spirit bone. This is already its limit."

The one speaking was an elderly man. His voice was very calm, but the aura of a Soul Sage on his body spread out without the slightest concealment.

One had to know that in these ten thousand years, almost no soul beasts produced spirit bones anymore. Most soul beasts had already been completely hunted down by the Spirit Pagoda.

As for the channels through which people obtained spirit bones, aside from inheriting the spirit bones of their predecessors, most came from hunting high-level soul beasts inside the Spirit Pagoda and then obtaining the spirit bones that might drop from them.

So for this Forest Wolf Spirit Bone produced within ten thousand years, how much vitality it could retain, and whether it could still continue to be used by a soul master, were very real issues.

This was different from Electronic Spirit Bones, which could be stored permanently. Normal spirit bones at present could not be measured by conventional standards at all.

So ten million was indeed more or less the ceiling price for this spirit bone. However, after hearing the old man's words, Li Moxun's expression did not change in the slightest.

He wanted this spirit bone not for fusion, so he did not care at all whether it could be used, or how much vitality it had.

"I bid twelve million."

Li Moxun's voice was very soft and very calm.

Hearing his words, especially when a young voice rang out right after his own words fell, the old man's eyes suddenly narrowed.

Then he saw the figure there wearing a veiled hat.

From the other party's build, it was impossible to tell whether they were male or female, but judging from the voice, this was clearly a girl.

And noticing the old man's gaze turning toward him, there was no change at all in Li Moxun's eyes.

This clone of his would actually disperse in two days at most. After obtaining the spirit bone, he could teleport it away, so he was not worried.

Therefore, he did not care at all about the old man's earlier threat. He had not even taken it to heart.

After Li Moxun called out the price of twelve million Federal Coins, the old man abruptly fell silent as well. Even though he wanted to compete for it, in the end, he still kept quiet.

When the young man on the stage heard this price, a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes as well.

"Twelve million once. Twelve million twice. Twelve million three times. Sold!"

After the transaction was concluded, the young man smiled, then moved on to the next auction item.

The next few items were actually not as rare as the earlier ones, because they were some Mecha blueprints, or else some standardized Battle Armor design diagrams.

These things were difficult to come by in the outside world, but to some talented Mecha designers and Battle Armor designers, they were not especially difficult.

After the transactions were completed, several maids slowly walked up separately, carrying the respective auction items and handing them to these people.

Li Moxun also received his savings card, as well as this ten-thousand-year spirit bone belonging to a Forest Wolf.

Holding this spirit bone and the savings card, Li Moxun reached his hand into his black robe.

As an illusory rift opened, terrifying power swept out. In less than half a second, the two items vanished completely.

Meanwhile, Li Moxun sat there quietly in his original spot, his expression calm.

The last few items at the auction were sold very quickly. After all the goods at the auction were completely sold, the group also left the auction house.

Wearing their veiled hats, they took different paths and left this place very easily.

However, not long after Li Moxun left, he sensed a sharp killing intent locking onto him in an instant.

This killing intent came very strongly, and that terrifying murderous intent was not concealed in the slightest. It was obvious that the other party should have some connection to this auction house; otherwise, they could not have discovered him so easily.

Sensing Li Moxun turn back, an extremely elderly-looking old man stood there within the shadows.

His expression was calm, but there was an icy look in his eyes.

"It seems Senior is planning to take my life. Might I ask who you are, Senior, and what your honored name is? Let me die knowing, would you?"

Li Moxun's voice was very soft. His indifferent gaze rested on the old man, not caring in the slightest about the death of this clone.

In any case, after it died, he could condense another clone as soon as tomorrow, or the day after at the latest. And his next clone would not be an auxiliary-type Spirit Word with no power to resist like this one.

So he truly did not care about the current clone's death. What he cared about more was what the other party was called—whether he could probe out his name and thereby confirm his identity.

And as he looked at Li Moxun—or rather, at this man who was about to die—the old man's eyes held only a sense of mockery.

After all, in his mind, Li Moxun was already dead.

So he smiled at Li Moxun.

"This old man is from the Tang Sect of Tianhai City. You don't need to know who I am, because I've already used a special Soul Guidance Device to block off the surroundings."

"None of your communication methods can get out. All right, boy. Die. This old man will bury you."

As the old man spoke, he raised his hand, and a short spear appeared in it. Immediately after, his figure leaped out, and the terrifying short spear stabbed straight toward Li Moxun.

Seeing the certainty in the old man's eyes, Li Moxun merely shook his head calmly.

Then he placed his hand on his own head. The next second, he twisted his clone's neck and broke it himself.

As the body collapsed to the ground, illusory power spread out, and the entire body turned into foam that filled the sky in a short span of time.

Looking at the foam, the old man's pupils abruptly contracted. Disbelief filled his eyes, followed immediately by a flash of sharpness.
