Eternal Life from Talisman Painting-Chapter 139 - 119: Just a Higher Price, That’s All_3
Listening to the discussions among the cultivators, Lin Chang’an suddenly realized that for cultivators, especially Foundation Establishment cultivators, events from three hundred years ago were not too distant.
Not to mention it was a legend of the same era as Master Lu.
As it is well known, demonic cultivation techniques are famous for their quick cultivation and powerful effects, but they come with significant costs.
On the auction stage, Han Lin’Er, with a smile on his face, looked around and was unaffected as he crisply announced the starting price.
"Ladies and gentlemen, although this incomplete Sword Formula lacks the main Heart Method, it includes Divine Techniques that can be cultivated to the Golden Core Realm, making its value immeasurable. The starting bid is seven hundred Middle Grade Spirit Stones."
"I’ll bid seven hundred Middle Grade Spirit Stones!"
"I’ll offer seven hundred and thirty!"
"I’ll go seven hundred and eighty..."
"Eight hundred and twenty Middle Grade Spirit Stones!"
Seeing this scene, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but be stunned. Isn’t it said that incomplete items have great drawbacks?
Why does everyone seem to smell treasure, with prices exceeding that of ordinary Spiritual Artifacts?
Earlier everyone criticized it, but when it comes to bidding, everyone is more eager than the next.
"Didn’t they say the drawbacks of being incomplete are numerous? Are you guys crazy?"
"Nonsense, would a complete version even make it to us loose cultivators for bidding?"
"Exactly, even if it’s incomplete, as long as we can comprehend a part of it, it’s worth the price."
"You have a point, Fellow Daoist. Although this Sword Formula is incomplete, it’s still good for research."
Good grief.
They are all a bunch of sly old foxes.
Lin Chang’an was speechless for a moment. The longer one lives, the craftier they become.
Watching everyone bid, Lin Chang’an opened the auction item catalog provided by the maid upon entering the Foundation Establishment private room.
It recorded all the items being auctioned this time and provided a brief introduction.
"Originally, I was interested in the two Divine Power Spells at the end, but seeing that this incomplete Sword Formula actually includes a Divine Technique."
Upon a closer look, Lin Chang’an secretly planned.
This incomplete Sword Formula includes a Divine Technique called ’Giant Sword Technique,’ which overlaps with one of the subsequent Divine Power Spells.
"A Sword Cultivator, huh? Demonic cultivation techniques generally have significant costs. I wonder if my Self-Healing Body can handle it."
The next moment, Lin Chang’an decisively started placing bids.
After all, although he didn’t know the worth of this ancestor from three hundred years ago, he knew one thing.
So many veteran Foundation Establishment cultivators are eager, which surely makes sense.
It’s okay if I don’t understand, as long as someone does, I just need to bid higher.
Moreover, I have a Self-Healing Body. As long as it doesn’t consume my lifespan as a cost, I can endure it.
"It’s just one bid. What I lack now are means to enhance my combat power, not Spirit Stones."
Lin Chang’an thought to himself, and by now the price had already soared to nine hundred Middle Grade Spirit Stones.
Indeed, these fast-success demonic cultivation techniques are highly attractive.
Especially for cultivators whose cultivation has reached a bottleneck and who desperately seek breakthroughs.
The wisdom of others can sharpen our own abilities.
As for minor costs, for cultivators, there’s nothing in the world that’s effortlessly gained.
Loose cultivators who’ve made it this far are not afraid of risking their lives. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
What they fear is not even having a chance.
"Nine hundred and thirty Middle Grade Spirit Stones!"
"One thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones!"
When the price skyrocketed to one thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones, the previously lively atmosphere cooled down.
This price was almost enough for two ordinary spiritual artifacts, one offensive and one defensive.
Finally, two Foundation Establishment cultivators gritted their teeth and made a symbolic bid, wanting to see if this was the final low price.
But Lin Chang’an didn’t hesitate to shout out another raised bid.
"One thousand and fifty Spirit Stones!"
With Lin Chang’an’s posture of being willing to add another hundred or two hundred Middle Grade Spirit Stones just to secure it.
In the end, these two Foundation Establishment cultivators sighed unwillingly.
At this price, there was no need to continue the fight. Better to save up; after all, this is just the first auction, and there are good things coming up later.
"One thousand and fifty Middle Grade Spirit Stones. Any higher bids? Going once... going three times! Sold to this Fellow Daoist."
As Han Lin’Er announced the final price with a smile, many veteran Foundation Establishment cultivators shook their heads.
Perhaps many are pinning their hopes on the next two events.
And some ordinary Foundation Establishment loose cultivators were amazed, some envious, others despondent.
For instance, Chen Qing looked somewhat despondent, with a hint of a bitter smile on his face.
"Wen’Er, Feng’Er, I brought you here this time to broaden your horizons and let you know about the differences among Foundation Establishment cultivators."
While he was still worrying over ten thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones, these veteran Foundation Establishment loose cultivators with deep foundations could easily bid over a thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones.
