Thirty-eight years ago, Master Ming used the " Imperial Zenith World-Shocking Cannon " to blast through the gate of the Imperial Sacred Academy, establishing his reputation as the " Heavenly Craft Ghost Talisman ".
Now that Master Ming and my Myriad Treasures Trading Company have established a friendly cooperative relationship, he has specially put his recently crafted ' Imperial Zenith World-Shocking Cannon ' up for auction here.
At this point, Han Fang suddenly pulled back the red cloth covering the auction items.
A massive, golden cannon, radiating a ferocious aura, stood towering in the center of the auction hall, like a crouching, invincible beast.
Chen Mu could see it clearly from below the stage: apart from the material, this giant cannon was exactly the same as the ' Imperial Zenith World-Shocking Cannon ' that Elder Ming had materialized with his Divine Soul. It was indeed Elder Ming's work.
"The power of this Imperial Zenith World-Shocking Cannon is equivalent to that of a cultivator in the Late Core Formation Realm. It can perform single-target attacks as well as large-scale group attacks, with an attack range of over fifty kilometers. Whether used for defense or sent to the battlefield, it is an extremely terrifying weapon."
The auction for the ' Imperial Zenith World-Shocking Cannon ' is now open! The starting price is 800 Grade 5 Spirit Stone, and each bid must be at least 10 Grade 5 Spirit Stone higher!
Chen Mu could tell that this ' Imperial Zenith World-Shocking Cannon ' was probably a weakened version. The original ' Imperial Zenith World-Shocking Cannon ' that Elder Ming used back then was absolutely powerful enough to reach the Creation Realm.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. No one would sell their ultimate weapon; otherwise, the enemy would use it against them, wouldn't that be a terrible injustice?
After Elder Ming let Chen Mu and the others go, the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion couldn't do anything about him, especially since Elder Ming had recovered some of his strength. The Heaven-Questioning Pavilion only symbolically cut off his elder's salary before leaving.
Chen Mu's Runic Body technique did play a crucial role in Elder Ming's recovery of his strength. Later, Elder Ming even made a special trip to Chen Village to help Chen Mu improve the Runic Body technique.
Unfortunately, Elder Ming has gone too far down the traditional path. His Divine Soul strength far surpasses his physical Spiritual Power, making it impossible for him to fuse his Soul Power and Spiritual Power like Chen Mu. He can barely even activate runes with his body.
However, the traditional path of talisman cultivation, when taken to its extreme, is equally powerful. Elder Ming was not demanding; he simply drew upon Chen Mu's ideas on Runic Body techniques to further refine his own cultivation.
After staying in Chen Village for more than a month, Elder Ming Ming's hidden ailment was completely cured, and his strength was fully restored.
Afterwards, he returned to the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion. Although he disliked the people currently in power at the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion Heaven-Questioning Pavilion, as a descendant of the Yang Clan, he had to stay there.
Having regained his strength, Elder Ming was no longer as dejected as before. Instead, he began to expand his influence in the Heaven-Questioning Pavilion, took in several new disciples, and gained a group of staunch supporters.
Therefore, Chen Mu could understand why Elder Ming was selling Rune Artifacts; it seemed his master was also facing financial difficulties.
Chen Mu had absolutely no interest in this item. If he wanted it, he could have his master make it for him, or he could even create Rune Artifacts of equal power himself.
There aren't many people who can afford to bid for items at this price. After a round of bidding, it was finally won by a competitor in a private room for 980 fifth-grade Spirit Stone.
"Tsk tsk tsk! Earning nine hundred and eighty fifth-grade Spirit Stone so easily, high-level talisman masters really know how to make money!"
Chen Mu was already considering whether he should make and sell these Rune Artifacts himself.
However, given his current level of cultivation, creating Rune Artifacts with such power would be extremely time-consuming and energy-draining, affecting his usual cultivation and research. In the long run, it would be a complete loss.
"Forget it, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Let's not compete with Master for business."
Soon, the next item was brought out for auction.
This time, Han Fang didn't try to hide it; she directly lifted the red cloth, revealing a small silver-gray bottle inside.
Although the bottle sealed the power of the spiritual object, a wisp of chill still wafted into the auction hall. Chen Mu recognized it at a glance; it was the very thing he had come for: the Water of Supreme Yin.
" The Water of Supreme Yin is born from the far north, a place of extreme yin and coldness. It contains the power of creation of heaven and earth and can freeze all things."
Just Xiaoxiao drop is enough to lock in the life of a dying person—it's truly miraculous.
All of you who have come to bid are experts; I need not elaborate on the usefulness of this item.
" The Water of Supreme Yin, starting bid is 900 Grade 5 Spirit Stone, with each bid increment no less than 10 Grade 5 Spirit Stone. The auction is now open."
Nine hundred and fifty!
"One thousand!"
One thousand and ten!
In no time, the price of Water of Supreme Yin exceeded one thousand fifth-grade Spirit Stone. Chen Mu gritted his teeth and raised his bidding paddle.
"One thousand one hundred!"
He brought about 1,350 fifth-grade Spirit Stone with him this time, and after the two auctions, that's all he has left.
He estimated that the Spirit Stone he brought should be enough to buy the Water of Supreme Yin, but unexpectedly, two other items appeared at the auction that he couldn't part with, leaving him with far too little money.
If the price exceeds this now, he will have no choice but to give up.
"One thousand one hundred, one thousand one hundred, is that right? One thousand one hundred times...!"
Han Fang shouted loudly.
Chen Mu watched Han Fang nervously. After three breaths, Han Fang called out a second time.
"One thousand one hundred and twenty times...!"
Just as she raised the gavel, about to call out for the third time...
One thousand one hundred and ten!
A deep male voice came from a private room on the second floor.
Chen Mu frowned and sighed, as if he wanted to vent all the frustration in his heart.
"One thousand two hundred!"
A woman's voice rang out. Chen Mu felt the voice was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't immediately place it.
"One thousand two hundred and fifty!"
"One thousand three hundred!"
The price of 1,300 had clearly reached the market value of the Water of Supreme Yin, which was in line with Chen Mu's estimate. No one else bid, and the woman ultimately won the Water of Supreme Yin.
" Sailei, help me find out who bought the Water of Supreme Yin. I want to meet with him."
Chen Mu's most important goal this time was the Water of Supreme Yin; he wanted to try and get it again.
"Good!"
Hou Sailei understood, stood up, turned around, and left the auction hall.
"This next item is the last item in our auction. As the final and most special piece, it's sure to be a highlight. Please come up!"
The auction cart was slowly pushed to the center of the auction hall. The item being auctioned this time was not large; the red cloth on the plate was only slightly raised, suggesting it was an object no bigger than the palm of your hand.
"This item does not belong to the Pan Emperor Continent. It is a drop of essence blood obtained by a powerful Soul Clan member who killed creatures from another world in another dimension."
According to our appraisers, while this essence blood cannot help increase Spiritual Power, it can enhance physical strength.
"Just this one drop is enough to grant an ordinary person physical strength comparable to a cultivator at the Perfected Core Formation Realm, and also increase their lifespan by approximately two hundred years."
