Chapter 392: Chapter 105: Feeding Demon and Returning Spirit Secret Technique, Magical Treasure Drunken Ghost Gourd

At this moment, the guests in box number seventeen were slightly surprised.

His gaze passed through the window, looking towards Lin Chen on the stage below.

"It’s him..."

"But one million six hundred thousand Spirit Stones, it’s indeed overpriced..."

The VIP in the box shook his head and did not continue bidding.

Lin Chen sat calmly on the armchair.

One million six hundred thousand Spirit Stones was not much for him.

Lin Chen was more concerned about understanding this Spirit Liquid.

After all, his Profound Celestial Treasure Gourd could produce this stuff.

"Spirit Liquid, purified by special techniques can become Spirit Realm Jade Dew... Is this information true?"

Lin Chen contemplated.

Although he did not know the truth, he knew one person surely did.

"I’ll ask Junior Sister Jiang about it later..."

The auction continued methodically.

Lin Chen did not participate in bidding for the next dozen items.

Until the female auctioneer took out a gourd-shaped Magical Treasure.

The female auctioneer said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, this Drunken Ghost Gourd is an excellent Storage Treasure Artifact."

"It contains a storage space of three square feet, sufficient for the storage needs of most cultivators."

"Additionally, this gourd has a special ability to automatically brew Spirit Wine from stored water!"

"By consuming a certain amount of Spirit Stones, it can automatically ferment overnight..."

"Moreover, ordinary Spirit Wine stored in the gourd also turns into fine aged wine. It is indeed an excellent artifact for those who love drinking wine!"

After a pause, the female auctioneer continued:

"Drunken Ghost Gourd, starting at five hundred thousand Spirit Stones, with minimum increments of ten thousand Spirit Stones!"

The auctioneer’s announcement caused many cultivators below to become eager.

Clearly, there were quite a number of wine-loving cultivators.

"Five hundred ten thousand Spirit Stones!"

"Five hundred twenty thousand..."

While the surrounding cultivators frequently made bids, Lin Chen waited calmly.

The Drunken Ghost Gourd, he was determined to obtain!

"Tsk tsk, the Drunken Ghost Gourd... Senior Sister probably likes this gourd very much!"

"Using this gourd to exchange for the Red Jade Gourd, Senior Sister should gladly agree..."

Lin Chen silently thought.

Soon, after a few rounds of bidding, the price of the Drunken Ghost Gourd rose to six hundred seventy thousand Spirit Stones.

"Six hundred seventy thousand Spirit Stones, any Taoist Friend willing to bid higher?"

On stage, the female auctioneer slowly asked, her gaze sweeping over the venue.

At this moment, Lin Chen called out a price.

"Seven hundred thousand Spirit Stones!"

Seeing Lin Chen speak, the female auctioneer’s eyes immediately brightened, and she called out:

"Seven hundred thousand Spirit Stones, anyone willing to go higher?"

"Seven hundred ten thousand Spirit Stones!"

At this moment, the cultivator who previously bid six hundred seventy thousand Spirit Stones licked his lips and gritted his teeth, calling out a price.

This was a mid-Golden Core cultivator who loved drinking a lot.

Encountering a favored Magical Treasure this time, he decided to spend heavily.

But Lin Chen remained unmoved, continuing to call out a price.

"Eight hundred thousand Spirit Stones!"

Upon hearing this bid, the female auctioneer’s eyes brightened.

According to the Money Merchants Association’s estimation of the Drunken Ghost Gourd’s price, it was valued around seven hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

Lin Chen’s direct increase of ninety thousand exceeded their expectations.

Hearing this bid, the Golden Core cultivator who originally intended to bid instantly became discouraged.

"Eight hundred thousand Spirit Stones... Alas, having money isn’t for burning this way, right?"

The Golden Core cultivator glanced at Lin Chen, helplessly giving up the bid.

After all, a storage Magical Artifact of three square feet was priced between three to four hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

Although this gourd had special effects, it didn’t justify eight hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

Lin Chen sat in his position, feeling the gazes transmitted by surrounding cultivators.

Those gazes clearly said, "Rich fool!"

But Lin Chen didn’t care at all.

Eight hundred thousand Spirit Stones were nothing to him.

As long as Senior Sister liked it, and he could complete the next advancement of the Profound Celestial Treasure Gourd.

Soon, the auction staff delivered the two auction items to Lin Chen.

"VIP, here are the two items you won at auction. A total of two million four hundred thousand Spirit Stones..."

Lin Chen nodded, directly taking out a bag of Spirit Stones and handing it over.

At the same time, retrieved the two items back.

The staff, seeing Lin Chen’s generous actions, said:

"VIP, if your total spending reaches five million Spirit Stones, you can get a VIP seat in a second-floor box. It’s more private and can highlight your status..."

Lin Chen looked at the staff of the auction house, resembling a Blue Star card promoter.

Pausing for a few seconds, Lin Chen nodded and said:

"Alright, if needed, I’ll contact you."

The staff also nodded and didn’t disturb Lin Chen further.

The auction continued, Lin Chen had already obtained two desired treasures, but there was still one he hadn’t acquired.

Just as more than a little while had passed, the female auctioneer maintained a dignified attitude without any fatigue.

"Ladies and gentlemen, next is the thirty-sixth item."

"Before introducing this item, allow me to tell a story first."

"In our Qing State’s Eastern Domain, there’s a prosperous cultivator town named Hu Guang Town."

"In Hu Guang Town, there are two major families whose livelihood is selling Hu Deer meat..."

After a pause, the female auctioneer said:

"Fellow Taoists, perhaps you have tasted Hu Deer meat, renowned for its tender texture and body-strengthening benefits."

"It has been cultivated for a thousand years by the Hu and Guang Golden Core Cultivation Clans, up until now..."

"Originally, Hu Deer was a Demon Beast. It can be tamed because they possess a unique secret method to breed Demon Beasts and turn them into Spirit Beasts for consumption."

"This method is called the Feeding Demon and Returning Spirit Secret Technique, an Ancient Secret Technique, improved several times."

"Currently, the two families have encountered trouble and wish to sell the exclusive rights to this secret technique..."

"Starting bid, two million Spirit Stones. Each increment must not be less than ten thousand Spirit Stones!"

Lin Chen sat in his seat, quietly listening to the female auctioneer’s introduction.

At the same time, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"The Hu and Guang families even sold their ancestral secret method? What... have they encountered?"

Lin Chen didn’t ponder deeply; he only knew that this secret technique could be of great use to him!

Hu Deer meat is very effective; the tens of thousands of deer he previously purchased had already been consumed by Martial Artists in the Martial Realm.

They had cultivated a batch of soldiers with high Martial Arts Realm.

However, the problem was, Lin Chen couldn’t bring Hu Deer back to Blue Star, nor could he cultivate them.

But now, with this Feeding Demon and Returning Spirit method, perhaps Blue Star could also breed a group of Spirit Beasts!

"Blue Star doesn’t lack Demon Beasts... just over thousands of years, whether in Martial Path or in technology, it has been verified that Demon Beasts cannot be tamed."

"Only the secret methods from the Cultivation Realm might tame Demon Beasts."

Lin Chen clenched his fists; obtaining the Feeding Demon and Returning Spirit method in the auction is absolutely a significant progress for the High Martial World!

"This method must be acquired!" Lin Chen thought silently.

Yet, he wasn’t in a rush to bid.

At this moment, the surrounding cultivators were eager to try and shout out their offers.

"Two million one hundred thousand Spirit Stones!"

"Two million three hundred thousand..."

"Two million five hundred thousand!"

Before long, after two rounds of bidding, the price of the "Feeding Demon and Returning Spirit" method rose to over three million Spirit Stones.

At this price, fewer and fewer cultivators were bidding.

Only three or four forces in the twenty VIP boxes on the second floor were left competing.

After a while, the price climbed to four million Spirit Stones.

At this moment, Lin Chen knew it was time for him to make a move.

"Four million three hundred thousand Spirit Stones."

Lin Chen slowly reported a price.

The scene fell silent for a moment, and the VIP in the box was taken aback, then spoke again:

"Four million five hundred thousand Spirit Stones."

"Four million eight hundred thousand Spirit Stones!" Lin Chen spoke without hesitation.

Upon hearing this price, the room buzzed with excitement.

Many eyes turned to Lin Chen, quietly discussing his identity.

Based on cultivation, Lin Chen was an Eighth Turn Golden Core Cultivator, who looked quite young.

However, this cultivation level is far from top-tier in Wenda City.

At best, he would be considered a talented, promising junior.

But the issue is, Lin Chen is selling extravagantly!

With three auction items fetching a price of seven or eight million Spirit Stones, like a nouveau riche.

The voice in the VIP box fell silent.

On stage, the female auctioneer smiled.

"Four million eight hundred thousand Spirit Stones for the first time..."

She dragged out her voice, seemingly waiting for another bidder to intervene.

At the same time, Lin Chen received a transmission.

"Taoist Friend Lin has great courage. Are you procuring this secret method to enhance the foundation of the Changchun Sect?"

Lin Chen raised his eyebrows, naturally identifying the transmitter as the mysterious VIP in the box.

"Was my identity discovered?"

Lin Chen shook his head, and without hiding, transmitted back:

"Please don’t be offended, fellow Taoist. We, the Changchun Sect, are new to Wenda City. Our foundation is still shallow, but we happen to have some Spirit Stones..."

The implication in Lin Chen’s words couldn’t be more obvious.

Even though Changchun Sect is a small sect... money is not an issue!

That voice paused for several seconds before replying: "How much can you, Taoist Friend, bid at most?"

"One million Spirit Stones," Lin Chen replied.

Upon hearing this, silence fell back in the VIP box, "Great, then I’ll leave it to you, Taoist Friend..."

Lin Chen felt a touch of surprise hearing this but quickly nodded, "Thank you, Taoist Friend."

Their conversation wasn’t noticed by the other surrounding cultivators.

Evidently, the one million had exceeded the budget of the VIP.

If the price were to be driven higher, not only would they fail to acquire this secret method, but also potentially offend Lin Chen.

This would be an exhausting deal that wouldn’t earn a return, thus he decided against doing it.

Instead, he called the bidding to a halt in time, favoring Lin Chen with a kind gesture.

All forces in Wenda City, bump into each other sooner or later, there’s no need to make things too awkward.

Soon, Lin Chen acquired this secret method for four million eight hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

After delivering the Sum Stones and obtaining the secret method, the staff approached again, with a respectful tone.

"VIP, this is your token. From now on, VIPs can access the second-floor box in our auction house..."

Lin Chen nodded, took the token, and quickly followed him to the second-floor box.

Lin Chen was in Box number nineteen with an excellent view and arrangement within the box.

Offering free Spiritual Food and Spirit Fruit...

Lin Chen ate the Spiritual Food, watching the auction continue quietly without further bids.

Until after the auction was over, someone knocked on Lin Chen’s box door.

"This Taoist Friend, the VIP in Box number three wishes to meet you..."

"Would you be willing?"
