"What? A Mid Rank Secret Technique that's a Cultivation Technique?!"
As Shangguan Mo's words fell, an uproar erupted in the Hidden Dragon Hall. Everyone's breathing quickened.
Compared to Spirit Artifacts, pills, and Martial Skills, people cared far more about Cultivation Techniques.
Previous Auctions had featured High-Grade Spirit Artifacts, Low Rank Secret Techniques that were Martial Skills, and even Low-Grade Spirit Pills!
But...
Never a Secret Technique that was a Cultivation Technique!
A Mid Rank Secret Technique of this kind could serve as a Lineage's most treasured possession, or even as a sect's greatest treasure.
Its significance was extraordinary!
It was no exaggeration to say that everyone wanted this Mid Rank Secret Technique even more than the damaged True Treasure, the Immortal-Devouring Staff.
The Immortal-Devouring Staff could create only one Venerable.
But a Mid Rank Secret Technique that was a Cultivation Technique could potentially create many more Venerables, so long as a clan or sect had enough geniuses!
As a long-term investment, the Mid Rank Secret Technique was naturally worth more.
That was why, after learning that Qin Hao intended to auction a Mid Rank Secret Technique that was a Cultivation Technique, Pavilion Master Qian had considered saving it for the final lot.
Unfortunately, they had not advertised it beforehand.
Before the Auction began, the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion had promoted the Immortal-Devouring Staff as its final treasure. Many Lineages and factions had come for it. If they auctioned "Heaven and Earth Force" after the Immortal-Devouring Staff...
It could certainly serve as the final lot, but without knowing another Mid Rank Secret Technique was coming, everyone would likely spend their Spirit Stones on Auction Bidding for the Immortal-Devouring Staff.
If "Heaven and Earth Scripture" went up afterward, its final price would likely be disappointing.
Auctioning it before the Immortal-Devouring Staff was different.
