Volume Three The Battle of the Sea Clan Chapter 341: Soul Lock and Xishui Shield
There were so few people at the bidding conference, so Liu Ming didn’t feel too strange.
After all, just by requiring someone to be in the late stage of liquid condensation or above, or to have a merchant in the valley to guarantee their wealth, they will directly screen out most of the outsiders who want to come in to see the auction or join in the fun.
And among the people present, I am afraid that many are companions or people belonging to the same force. Those who actually intend to bid for the spiritual weapon should be less than a hundred.
Even so, there were about a dozen people in the cave whose cultivation level Liu Ming could not see, and there were seven or eight people who made him feel a little uneasy just by the aura they exuded.
"It seems like there are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers here. I have to be 120% careful when I'm alone!"
Liu Ming thought with a wry smile secretly.
"Welcome to everyone to participate in Mr. Yan's auction. I won't go into details about the rules. I believe you all know it well. The highest bidder gets the spiritual weapon. If the spiritual stone is insufficient, various materials and treasures can be used to offset it.
."
It was Yan himself who was hosting the auction!
Behind the stone platform, there are three black wooden chairs placed separately. On each of them sits a man in black robe wearing a black smiling mask. He is motionless, but his aura is unfathomable.
These should be the three crystal-forming powerhouses from Black Flame Palace taking charge of this auction.
After Yan finished speaking, he paused briefly, glanced at everyone in the venue, and then continued:
"Since everyone has no objections, let's get started."
He turned over with one hand, and a long jade box appeared in his hand. The jade box opened and revealed a flying sword several feet long lying inside.
"The first auction item is a top-grade spiritual weapon, a blood-coagulating flying sword. It has the miraculous effect of destroying energy and sucking blood, and contains twenty-six levels of restrictions. The base price is 200,000 spirit stones, and each bid must not be less than 10,000 spirit stones." Yan
He said calmly with an expressionless face.
This statement caused an uproar at the scene.
You must know that sword weapons have the most stringent material requirements among the attacking spiritual weapons, and sword cultivators are also outstanding among monks of the same level. A sword weapon with twenty-six levels of restrictions is already very close to the best spiritual weapon.
Although two hundred thousand spiritual stones are expensive, for such a flying sword, it is naturally worth every penny.
Liu Ming was slightly disappointed when he saw that the first item on the auction was not the soul-suppressing lock, and he immediately closed his eyes and rested in his seat.
"Two hundred thousand!"
"Two hundred and twenty thousand!"
"Two hundred and fifty thousand!"
Sure enough, as soon as this high-quality flying sword appeared, everyone at the scene raised the price.
After a fierce competition, the flying sword was auctioned off by a woman wearing a bamboo hat for a high price of 310,000.
As expected by Liu Ming, the two subsequent auction items were not soul-suppressing locks, but a small blue cauldron and a piece of green leather armor. They were also top-grade spiritual weapons with 26th or 7th level restrictions. They were respectively
The auctions fetched sky-high prices of 350,000 and 400,000 yuan.
The reason for this is naturally because one of the latter two has several special effects such as trapping and weakening enemies, and the other is a rare defensive spiritual weapon with one more level of prohibition than that flying sword.
This made Liu Ming feel a little surprised. You must know that the average top-grade spiritual weapon only contains more than one million spiritual stones.
The competition for these high-grade spiritual weapons is so fierce and can fetch such high prices. It seems that the reputation of the master of flame refining weapons is truly well-deserved.
"The fourth auction item, a medium-grade spiritual weapon, a soul-suppressing lock, contains eighteen levels of restrictions."
At this moment, Yan flipped over with one hand and took out a square wooden box.
He clapped his hand with one hand, and the lid of the box opened immediately, revealing a small silver lock with layers of spiritual patterns imprinted all over it. It looked only a few inches in size but was unusually delicate, and vaguely exuded a kind of
An indescribable cold breath.
"Although the soul-suppressing lock is a middle-grade spiritual weapon, it was carefully refined by me using ten years of filthy silver, top-grade blood wood, and seventy-seven forty-nine days. It contains eighteen levels of restrictions, which is far from the top-grade
The spiritual weapon is only one level away. Many Taoist friends may be wondering why I put this mid-grade spiritual weapon in the auction after the other three.
There is only one reason, that is, the value of this item is higher than the previous three high-grade spiritual weapons." Yan said slowly, holding the mini silver lock in his hand.
As soon as these words came out, everyone here naturally caused a commotion, but for a while no one asked, everyone knew that the master refiner would explain the reason soon.
"When I first refined this spiritual weapon, I originally planned to refine it as an ordinary spiritual weapon that could withstand the mystical magic of spirits. Who would have thought that during the refining process, some unexpected changes occurred by chance.
As a result, although the grade of this spiritual weapon was much lower than originally planned, and its ability to resist spiritual magic was only unsatisfactory, it had two other new functions. One was that it could effectively resist evil spirits from seizing the body;
The second is that it can increase one's own spiritual power to a certain extent. The former is fine, and not many people can use it, but the latter is wonderful if it falls into the hands of a fellow Taoist with strong spiritual power.
What's more important is that even if this soul-suppressing lock is still there, it is impossible to refine it again! The same second one came out, so it was placed among the first three high-grade spiritual weapons." Yan said here,
I paused deliberately and looked at everyone's reactions.
Sure enough, as soon as he said a few words such as increasing his own mental power, there was a burst of whispers in the cave.
Many people's eyes widened, and all the nonchalant expressions on their faces disappeared.
You must know that spiritual weapons that can withstand spiritual magic are rare in the first place, and spiritual weapons that can increase one's own spiritual power are naturally even more rare. But now this soul-suppressing lock has both functions.
, it is quite shocking, even if it is only a middle-grade spiritual weapon
Seeing this, Yan even showed a satisfied expression and announced in a deep voice:
"As for the amplification effect of this spiritual weapon, I cannot explain this clearly below. I can only say that you will definitely not be disappointed. Okay, the base price of this spiritual weapon is 300,000, and each increase in price must not be less than 20,000. Now the auction begins
."
"Four hundred thousand spirit stones."
As soon as Yan finished speaking, someone immediately spoke up and directly raised the price by one hundred thousand spirit stones.
Such a high bid not only shocked many people, but also caused some people to immediately swallow the words they had shouted.
After a while, someone else snorted and shouted out the price of "five hundred thousand".
As soon as such a price was announced, the entire cave immediately became silent, and no one bid again for a while.
After all, at outside auctions, the price of a top-grade spiritual weapon is only over one million spirit stones. For a mid-grade spiritual weapon, no matter how rare and astonishing the side effects are, the price is still a bit high.
At the same time, the previous first bidder, a woman from the Sea Clan who was enveloped in a light blue halo along with several people around her, could not help but frown.
"Forget it, Aunt Yu. If we continue to fight for it, the price of this spiritual weapon will only be raised higher, which may affect our mission." The masked girl next to him advised softly at this time.
"Forget it, this trip still has to focus on big things. However, even though the people who raised the price just now are hiding their faces, I have already memorized their auras. When I finish the big things later, I may have a chance to get this thing again." Hai.
The clan woman looked coldly at the three people in the distance, all wearing yellow cloaks, and coldly replied through a message.
This time, the masked girl nodded and said nothing more.
As for the skinny old man Li Kun next to him, his face was expressionless and he didn't express any opinion at all.
But at this moment, a faint bidding sound made others stunned.
"Five hundred and fifty thousand spirit stones."
The bidder was naturally Liu Ming, who had been concentrating with his eyes closed.
At this moment, he had opened his eyes, and his voice was slightly hoarse, completely different from the original voice.
The three men in yellow cloaks were naturally surprised when they heard Liu Ming's bid. After the three of them looked at each other, the tall man in the middle immediately quoted "600,000" in a cold voice.
s price.
"Six hundred and fifty thousand spirit stones."
Liu Ming added another 50,000 spirit stones in one breath without hesitation.
With such a high price, even though the three of them thought they had some wealth, they couldn't help but look at each other.
"Okay, very good. It seems that this fellow Taoist is bound to get this soul-suppressing lock. Forget it, let's give it to fellow Taoist. I hope you can take good care of this thing." The man in the yellow cloak in the middle is cold.
After saying a few words coldly, he finally withdrew from the bidding.
But the threat in their words was clearly revealed.
Liu Ming naturally didn't care about this.
Such a high price made Yan on the stone platform smile a lot and immediately announced the result.
Liu Ming only needs to wait for the entire bidding conference to end and go to find Yan with enough spiritual stones and materials to get this spiritual weapon.
"I guess all the fellow Taoists in the audience have been waiting for this moment for a long time. Below is the final item of this auction. It is also my rare proud work in recent years. It is a top-quality spiritual weapon that I have devoted several years of hard work to.
, the Tidal Water Shield contains thirty-one layers of restrictions."
As soon as these words came out, the entire cave fell into an extremely quiet and strange atmosphere.
Everyone's eyes were "shuddering", staring at Yan on the high platform, and most of them looked shocked.
Upon seeing this, Yan did not rush to take out the auction items, but once again glanced at the people in the audience, he smiled mysteriously.
The next moment, he grabbed the air with one hand, and a green jade box appeared between his fingers.
Yan threw the jade box in front of him, shook one of his sleeves, and immediately opened the cover silently, carefully taking out a flat and round object and shining it in front of everyone's eyes.
But a small, bright shield emitting dazzling golden light suddenly caught everyone's eyes.
