The Auction Ends
Hearing the slightly excited voice announcing the deal from the platform, Shen Ge was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses. He turned to look at Mu Wan beside him and shook his head helplessly. He would probably have to be at her beck and call for a long time to come.
Fortunately, the final result wasn't too bad. Although this Law Artifact was priced at almost the equivalent of two high-grade Law Artifact, it wasn't too bad, considering it was a top-grade magic Law Artifact capable of withstanding attacks from Golden Core cultivators.
Shen Ge also bid on several items in the subsequent auctions, most of which sold for between three and four hundred, including some refining materials and some ancient books.
One of them was a travelogue, said to be a record from five thousand years ago. A handwritten copy cost Shen Ge five hundred Spirit Stone.
The three items that appeared near the end of the auction truly ignited the atmosphere in the entire auction hall.
These are Law Treasure- level flying sword, Cloud Concealment Pill for breaking through to the Golden Core, and three tail feathers of Golden Core Stage Flame Bird.
As soon as these three items were brought out, sounds erupted from the previously silent private rooms as people scrambled for them. The Law Treasure -grade flying sword was even snapped up for a high price of 15,000 Spirit Stone.
Indeed, Law Artifact and Law Treasure are two completely different concepts. Even the most top-grade defensive Law Artifact Law Artifact worth at most two thousand Spirit Stone, but Law Treasure cost at least ten thousand Spirit Stone, and they are practically priceless. It is impossible to find Law Treasure for sale.
Even after leaving the auction house, Shen Ge was still immersed in the final shock, especially when that Law Treasure flying sword appeared. There were as many as five divine senses sweeping through the hall. If it weren't for the three Golden Core cultivators who came out at the end of the auction house to quell the situation, it might have been a robbery instead of a purchase.
"Come on, let's continue exploring the night market and see if we find anything interesting." Mu Wan said, pulling Shen Ge to another street along the river.
This wasn't the kind of stall or shop; it was just cultivators setting up their own scraps of cloth and selling their items. It was nothing like the street on the other side. But Mu Wan seemed to enjoy it, bustling between stall after stall, occasionally stopping to ask about or buy something that caught her eye.
Shen Ge followed behind her, occasionally glancing at the items laid out in front of those people, while contemplating his own affairs.
He now possesses three mid-grade magic Law Artifact, two high-grade magic Law Artifact, and one top-grade Law Artifact Law Technique, and has mastered approximately seven or eight spells, making his strength vastly different from what it used to be.
The mid-grade items are the Golden Light Sword, the Folding Feather Fan, and the Azure Flood Dragon Flag; the high-grade Law Artifact are two shields, one made from the shell of Tide Crab, and a newly acquired top-grade defensive Law Artifact item.
As for Law Technique, besides some minor Law Technique and the Golden Light Incantation and the Clear Heart Instruction he brought with him, he also possesses the Golden Gold Sword Instruction Technique, which allows him to summon up to ten flying sword phantoms at a time. These phantoms change depending on the Cultivation Method. It is said that when he reaches the Golden Core Stage, he can summon thousands of flying swords at once to form Sword Qi Long River.
There are also two other techniques that are basically mastered by all disciples of Divine Sword Peak: Giant Sword Technique and Divine Sword Technique.
The Giant Sword Technique, as the name suggests, involves summoning a giant flying sword to smash the enemy, similar to the Earth-based Falling Stone Technique. The Divine Sword Technique, on the other hand, is a mental attack method, where one transforms their own mental energy into a flying sword to attack. However, this Law Technique is prone to backlash against those stronger than oneself. But because this Law Technique can temper one's mental energy, one's mental energy can be higher than that of others at the same level. When combined with the Clear Heart Instruction, it has a unique effect.
Next is the Gale Escape Technique he exchanged at the Scripture Pavilion. He has just mastered the first level, which allows him to fly two miles in an instant, making it quite good for escaping.
The last one is a concealment technique that Su Liuyue taught him, which is very useful for concealing one's aura.
After taking stock of everything he possessed, Shen Ge was quite satisfied. He was much better off now than when he first came out of the mountains. At least his Law Technique had increased several times over, and his strength was top-tier in the Foundation Establishment Early Stage. If he was properly prepared, even Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator might be able to be tricked to death.
"Shen Ge, what are you thinking about? You look so down. Are you thinking about how to repay my Spirit Stone?"
Mu Wan's voice interrupted Shen Ge's thoughts. He looked up at Mu Wan, who had turned to face him, and said, "No, I'm not worried about the Spirit Stone I owe you. Besides, you didn't say when you would pay me back. I have plenty of time to prepare. I was just summarizing my strength, and I wasn't feeling down."
Hearing this, Mu Wan raised an eyebrow and said, "I forgot to tell you, the Spirit Stone must be paid back in three years, so don't even think about dragging it out for more than ten years."
Shen Ge's face fell, and he said with a hint of sorrow, "Pay it back in three years? How is that possible? Are you planning to make me forge weapons non-stop for the next three years to pay you back?!"
Mu Wan replied matter-of-factly, "Isn't that a good thing? It'll give you a chance to practice your weapon-refining techniques and skills more."
"That sounds nice, but do you think I'm like you? Where do you think those refining materials and Spirit Stone come from?"
"Um... you could also learn to draw talismans. It's a little simpler than weapon crafting, and the materials aren't expensive. You can get a stack of talisman paper for just a few Spirit Stone, and if you're lucky, a stack of talisman paper can earn you a hundred Spirit Stone."
"Anyway, you'll have to figure out a way to Spirit Stone me within three years, no matter what."
Shen Ge suddenly regretted acquiring that top-grade defensive magic Law Artifact. Earning 2,600 Spirit Stone in three years would likely squeeze out even his cultivation time.
"Alright, alright, stop talking. I promise I'll pay you back on time, okay? It's just two thousand six hundred Spirit Stone, what's the big deal?"
"Let's go then. Accompany me for a while. I haven't picked out gifts for my senior sisters yet. Can you give me some suggestions?"
At this point, Shen Ge also felt that he should buy some inexpensive little gifts for his senior sisters. He didn't ask for anything else, just to maintain a good relationship so that he could ask them for help in the future.
As for Senior Sister Su Liuyue, although Shen Ge didn't intend to covet anything from her, she was already at the Golden Core Stage, so even a few words of guidance or a small gift would be of great benefit to Shen Ge at this point.
Although she has the responsibility of teaching herself, it's never a bad thing to be polite, and giving a small gift can make teaching these things more enjoyable for the other party.
After thinking it through, Shen Ge began to pay attention to things that were novel, attractive, unique, and inexpensive, preferably with a few small functions.
