Clan Cultivation: I Transmigrated With My Smartphone-Chapter 679 - 601: Meeting the Bronze Coffin Again_2
"That's right,"
the female cultivator nodded and said, "Speaking of which, the customers who come to buy things from us, or dump some illegal goods, there are only a few who are decent. Recently, a lot of special items have come into the sect, why not introduce them to him. If he has the courage, if he's not afraid to die, it'll be best if he takes it all."
The male cultivator nodded and said, "Although we come from the Joyful Union Demon Vein, over the years, we've settled down, started families, and have a lot more to care about, a lot of things we can no longer do. But those demon cultivators, and the orthodox cultivators with hidden identities, each are audacious, fear neither heaven nor earth, and when they spend spirit stones, they are extravagant and bold.
Many items with astounding value, mysterious resources are all provided by them, and they bring us unimaginable profits."
The female cultivator said, "Open all the secret vaults of the sect, I believe he will definitely like it!"
As she spoke, her divine thought transmitted a message to inform Fairy Lanyu.
...
After receiving the message, Fairy Lanyu's face lit up with joy.
After wandering around the market, Lu Xuanji said, "Alright, let's go check out the auction now."
Fairy Lanyu nodded, and under her guidance, they arrived at an exceptionally spacious hall. Lu Xuanji was led into a guest room to sit, and by this time, many high-tier cultivators were already present waiting.
Lu Xuanji scanned the surroundings, comparing constantly.
He found that his room was the most luxurious on the top level, with a sealing array to protect the cultivator's privacy.
Below in the hall, there were many luxurious seats, which seemed like ordinary positions, yet they weren't affordable for ordinary cultivators. To enter, one must have at least Divinity Transformation Cultivation and pay a ticket of ten thousand top-grade spirit stones.
The hall was almost full by now; more than half of the cultivators were from the Human Race, while the rest were from other races. Tensions existed between them, but in such a special setting, no one dared to make trouble.
Lu Xuanji noticed there were about a dozen rooms parallel to his.
Swoosh!
At this moment, a female cultivator stepped onto the high platform.
She wore a white dress, adorned with tiny flowers, all embroidered with silk. The long skirt touched the ground, wrapping her exquisite body, with a high chest, a slim waist, and a rounded, full figure, her grace indescribable, her curves enchanting.
Her face was like autumn waters, her gaze enchanting, exuding the charm of a mature woman.
Her skin was delicate, her brows like distant mountains, and her phoenix eyes sparkled. Below her slender nose, her cherry-like lips were glossy and red.
Her long, swan-like neck made her chest seem full and the fabric taut. Her hips jutted outward, making the fabric tight, and her jade legs appeared slender and straight. She possessed an aura of nobility, holiness, elegance, and intellect, combined with a motherly grace that inspired a desire to conquer her.
After a brief self-introduction, she gently raised her hand as the first auction item appeared.
It was a bronze stone coffin about three feet long.
At this time, a bronze coffin was placed on it.
On stage, the female cultivator hosting the auction spoke, "Fellow Daoists, this bronze coffin comes from a hidden place. According to an elder's judgment, this coffin is an ancient relic. Unfortunately, despite their best efforts, the elders couldn't open it, nor could they detect what treasures might lie inside."
"Perhaps, it contains a top-tier treasure, or maybe a fairy laying inside, or perhaps a top-tier great power. If mastered and opened, it could present unimaginable opportunities."
"Given the unknown origin of this bronze coffin, the starting price is one hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones, with increments of ten thousand. Those interested can compete freely!"
A hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones, it's no small amount.
The cultivators present were wealthy but prudent with their expenditure.
Is it worth spending a hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones on something unknown?
They had the money, but no one wanted to be a fool about it, and many cultivators hesitated.
After a few breaths, a calm voice emerged from one of the compartments, "One hundred ten thousand!"
Lu Xuanji glanced over but couldn't see anything.
The auction area had strict arrays in the rooms, making it impossible to peek.
"One hundred fifty thousand!"
"One hundred eighty thousand!"
Soon, cultivators joined in, raising the bid.
The price climbed gradually and stalled after crossing three hundred thousand.
Clearly, no one wanted to be a fool, even the well-informed cultivators couldn't discern the origins, waiting for someone else to step in.
They wouldn't spend too many spirit stones.
Even those bidding mostly had the idea of gambling, hoping to take it home for research, not expecting too much surprise.
"Three hundred thousand, once!"
"Three hundred thousand, twice!"
The female host asked twice, just about to finalize with the hammer.
Lu Xuanji spoke, "Three hundred thirty thousand!"
Just one more bid, and he won the coffin.
No one competed with him, as it was just the first auction item, and there were plenty of precious items to come. Spending too much now could lead to significant losses later.
Moments later, the bronze coffin was delivered to the room, and Lu Xuanji looked at it with a complex expression.
"This is the second bronze coffin! (The first bronze coffin was in Chapter 389!)"
Lu Xuanji pondered, recalling some memories.
Coffins were categorized into death coffins and life coffins. Death coffins buried cultivators' bodies; life coffins were used for healing.
Top-tier cultivators, when gravely injured, needed to sleep in a life coffin for recovery.
The coffin before him was a life coffin.
Life coffins had three layers. The outermost layer focused on sturdiness, to prevent destruction; the second layer might contain killing arrays, strange curses, ultimate killing secret techniques; the third layer was the resting place of the wounded cultivator.
Forcefully opening the coffin could destroy its internal structure, causing the wounded cultivator's life to extinguish, eliminating any chance of revival!
Lu Xuanji activated his Innate Divine Eye, looking through it.
The light shone into the bronze coffin, quickly breaking through the first layer.
The first layer was primarily protective, quite sturdy.
Next was the second layer.
The second layer was a grotto world, about ten thousand miles wide, brimming with Spiritual Qi and abundant in Spirit Grass, resembling a real world. With the support of the grotto, numerous killing arrays evolved within, ready to transform into ultimate killing techniques at any moment.
Within the third layer of the coffin, there was a luxurious palace, where an exceptionally beautiful, elegant, and noble woman in a purple dress lay asleep on a gorgeous brocade and jade bed.
"It's her!"
Seeing the woman's face, Lu Xuanji was stunned.
The next moment, backlash arrived, ending Lu Xuanji's vision.
"That woman is so beautiful... seems so familiar..."
Lu Xuanji recalled her appearance, only to find he had forgotten.
It seemed that somewhere in the unseen, a supreme cause and effect twisted and altered everything, making him forget all about her.
"What exactly does she look like?"
Lu Xuanji wondered, opening his phone.
The supreme cause-effect that made everything forgotten was rendered powerless in the face of the phone's "document storage," unable to erase the related information.
"It's her, it's really her!"
Lu Xuanji was slightly amazed, taking out another bronze coffin.
The two coffins placed side by side.
Lu Xuanji's expression turned slightly complex.
In both coffins, a female cultivator lay asleep, their appearances similar, seemingly the same person.
Furthermore, the shape of the bronze coffins was extremely similar, with no difference whatsoever.
In the coffins, lay a sleeping female cultivator, with similar appearance, similar build, similar clothing, and similar cultivation, all at first-layer Divinity Transformation.
