three terrifying auras chased after them from the sky. It seemed like two of them were cultivators from the Heavenly Expanse Realm, and one was wearing colorful robes, carrying a curved saber at his w...(Well, today I added an invisible hall master. I won't say much about the specifics, just add more updates first, thank you for your support.)
Lu Xia Tian饒有興致地打量著下麵幾個修士激鬥的程度，第一件拍賣品便出現了織金丹，顯然讓他十分意外。他在混元道藏中也得到過一顆織金丹，隻是他一直冇拿出來過，畢竟織金丹這種東西一理落入敵對修士手裡，就算結成假丹，實力比起築基後期修士而言暴增數倍的假丹修士也是極為可怕的。至於凝金丹，拿出去也冇辦法，畢竟要交換自己所需的凝金果.
Lu Xia Tian didn't want to create problems for himself because of some spirit stones. Besides, he had killed quite a few Foundation Establishment cultivators, and the spirit stones he obtained were no small amount.
Several aging Foundation Establishment late-stage cultivators joined the fray, but after several rounds of bidding, they all left with dejected expressions. At this time, the price of the Zijin Dan had soared to 360,000 low-grade spirit stones. For a Foundation Establishment late-stage cultivator, while satisfying their own cultivation needs, obtaining such a large sum of spirit stones would require extraordinary opportunities. Most Foundation Establishment cultivators wouldn't have tens of thousands of spirit stones on hand; it was already considered quite a lot. If they weren't prepared for this auction, most cultivators wouldn't hoard so many spirit stones and would instead exchange them for cultivation or medicinal pills needed for healing.
"Seventy thousand!" The round-headed monk no longer wore his previous expression of indifference. His hand, which was now twisting the beads, trembled slightly, clearly indicating that this price had nearly reached its limit.
“710,000!” A bead of sweat trickled down the white-robed elder’s forehead. Even with the Weaving Gold Pill, while the chances of forming a false Golden Core were higher than a genuine one, there was still a possibility of failure. 510,000 lower grade spirit stones was already a huge gamble. If he lost, he would have almost nothing left to leave for his descendants.
The bald-headed monk slumped back down dejectedly. In the end, this golden elixir sold for a sky-high price of 510,000 low-grade spirit stones in the first round, even exceeding the price of that drop of elixir Yuan during Lu Xiaoteng's first auction.
“What a fierce bidding war! I didn't expect the auction to reach such a high point right from the start. It's truly unexpected. It seems like the following items can't be too underwhelming, or else they might not be able to stir up the emotions of the distinguished guests here.”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Fu Dahai walked up to a tray being carried by two female attendants. The tray had a jade-green silk cloth covering something unknown, which seemed quite large in size.
“Next up for auction is the Flying Thunder Crane, a Tier 6 peak flying puppet. Its speed surpasses that of any Core Formation Stage late cultivator. When using wind spirit stones, it can utilize intermediate-level wind magic. With lightning spirit stones, it can wield intermediate-level lightning spells against enemies. On the battlefield, it can not only be used to escape but also to pursue enemy forces. At least in the air, it is invincible. Its instantaneous casting of intermediate-level spells is comparable to a full-strength strike from a Core Formation Stage late cultivator. Furthermore, this Flying Thunder Crane boasts a major advantage: its owner can command it to attack enemies autonomously without expending their own divine consciousness. Crafted entirely from six hundred-year-old wind and thunder cedar, even top-tier magic weapons struggle to inflict damage upon it. Only artifacts of the Dan Yuan grade could potentially cause harm in a short period.”
Everyone present was astonished by the might of this flying wind and thunder crane. Even Lu Xia Tian, with an expression of disbelief, found himself speechless. This flying wind and thunder crane shattered everyone's perception of puppets. Lu Xia Tian believed he wasn't bad at puppetry, but his earth man puppets and golden man puppets were formidable in power. However, without the control of divine consciousness, they were just as useless as scrap metal.
The Feitian Fenglei Crane before him might be slightly inferior to his two puppets in terms of defense and attack, but it didn't require divine sense control. For ordinary cultivators, its value was even higher than the puppets in Lu Xia Tian's hands. After all, the mysterious art of splitting the spirit was extremely rare, and ordinary cultivators generally wouldn't dare to practice it casually. Possessing this Feitian Fenglei Crane not only meant a significant increase in speed, allowing for both offense and defense, but also an incredibly powerful helper.
Lu Xia Tian even felt a bit tempted, but thinking that he already had the Qing Feng Fan, his speed was even faster than ordinary spirit birds by a few points. Bidding for this Flying Wind Thunder Crane seemed a bit wasteful. Moreover, there were still unknown treasures to come out later. This Flying Wind Thunder Crane was so precious, and many people would definitely compete for it, especially those big families. For such loyal puppets that are easy to control, they are undoubtedly more attractive.
After a moment of thought, Lu Xia Tian still decided to give up.
A moment later, the Sky Thunder Crane was bought by a cultivator in a private room for a staggering 360,000 spirit stones, nearly reaching the price of a Dan Yuan artifact. However, from a certain perspective, when it came to speed, sometimes a Dan Yuan artifact wouldn't necessarily be stronger than this Sky Thunder Crane. For example, when Lu Xia Tian and Luo Qian both encountered members of the Flying Cavalry Tribe, Luo Qian had a Dan Yuan Thunder Gun in his hand, but his speed was completely suppressed by the Flying Cavalry Tribe members, making him fight quite uncomfortably. If it weren't for Lu Xia Tian using the Fire Jiao Bow to break through the enemy, the two would have been in a precarious situation.
This auction was indeed meticulously prepared. The first two items that came out were both treasures, and Lu Xia Tian felt a little more expectation for the items he faced.
“It seems the first two items have already stirred up your emotions. The bidding price is even more dangerous than a duel between cultivators.” Fu Dahai wiped his forehead, his expression exaggerated, “But yin and yang must be balanced, arts of war and peace. Let’s calm down a bit, don’t lose sight of our original intentions because of the excitement. If we exhaust our wealth due to early competition and miss out on the final heavy treasure, it would be a pity.”
"Below is a slightly less popular magic weapon. For most cultivators, it doesn't have much use, but for physical cultivators or blacksmiths who specialize in certain types of refining, it's a rare treasure: a pair of Breaker Fist Gauntlets. These gauntlets are made from rumored mithril and some special materials, making them Dan Yuan-grade magic weapons. Even Jindan cultivators couldn't destroy even a fragment of them."
A gasp echoed through the crowd. To these Qi Refining cultivators, a Golden Core cultivator was like a being beyond comparison, possessing power that seemed to pierce heaven and earth. They couldn't even scratch their defenses, so how formidable must they be
“The force from external attacks cannot penetrate this gauntlet, but it does not affect the caster's magical attacks. Moreover, this gauntlet can change to match the wearer's skin tone, possessing extreme camouflage ability. When not in use, ordinary people cannot detect it at all, truly extraordinary.” confident that if he truly set his mind to stopping any one of them, this silver-haired boy wouldn't be able to withstand him. However, the black insect was something he had never seen before, and th...
