Chapter 795: Chapter 795

A while later, accompanied by a resounding bell, a tall and lean elder in a green robe descended from the sky and landed on the green stage.

"I am Chen Xuan, in charge of hosting this auction. The highest bidder will prevail. If you lack Spirit Stones, you can offer items on your person. Let the auction begin."

The elder in the green robe gave a brief introduction, then took out ten green jade boxes. Upon opening them, each was found to contain a pale silver Elixir, with twelve Pill Patterns on the surface of each Elixir.

"Ten top-grade Gingko Pills up for auction, which can aid Soul Transformation Cultivators in breaking through to the Refinement Void Phase. Each pill will be auctioned individually, starting at ten million Spirit Stones, with each bid increase no less than one million."

Chen Xuan’s voice boomed.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu had already advanced to the Void Refinement Phase and naturally had no use for this Elixir; nor were they lacking in resources.

Many Divinity Transformation Cultivators came to the auction specifically for these pills, and they all started bidding eagerly.

After several rounds of bidding, the ten Gingko Pills were successively auctioned off at high prices.

"Five bottles of Purple Pear Primordial Pill, excellent for healing injuries. Each bottle starts at ten million Spirit Stones, and each bid must increase by at least two million."

Chen Xuan, holding five green porcelain bottles, announced loudly.

Chen Xuan consecutively presented various items for auction—Elixirs, Talisman, mid-grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures, and rank six Spirit Beasts—all of which fetched high prices.

After auctioning off a set of rank-six Formations, Chen Xuan said, "We have prepared six finale auction items. The first one is the Blood Essence Pill, ten of which will be auctioned separately. Void Refining Cultivators who consume this pill will see a substantial increase in Mana in the short term. For those at the Middle Stage of Void Refinement, advancing to the Late Stage shouldn’t be a problem. The effect lasts for one day, followed by a brief period of weakness. Resting for a month will bring full recovery. The starting price is ten million Spirit Stones, with each bid increasing by no less than three million Spirit Stones."

Chen Xuan took out ten golden jade boxes and spoke.

"Blood Essence Pills!"

Shen Long’s eyes lit up. The innate divine light of the Tianyuan Tribe could temporarily increase Mana—the higher the Cultivation, the greater the increase in Mana. The Blood Essence Pill had a similar wondrous effect.

He spent a high price of 130 million to win two Blood Essence Pills.

After auctioning off the ten Blood Essence Pills, Chen Xuan took out two Talismans that shone with dazzling golden light, each with seven silver spots on the surface.

"Two Seven Stars Soul-Extinguishing Talismans, particularly harmful to Divine Souls and very effective against rank six Monster Beasts. We’ll settle in Top-grade Spirit Stones, with an opening bid of twenty-five Top-grade Spirit Stones, and each bid must increase by at least two."

Chen Xuan declared loudly.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu had mastered the Soul Extinguishing Profound Light and had no need for the Seven Stars Soul-Extinguishing Talismans. For those Void Refining Cultivators without high-level Shen Hun Gongfa, these Talismans were akin to a trump card.

Both Seven Stars Soul-Extinguishing Talismans were sold at high prices, and Shen Long thought he recognized one of the bidders’ voices; it seemed to belong to Zhang Qing.

In a private room, Zhang Shuo and Zhang Qing were seated, with Zhang Qing holding a Seven Stars Soul-Extinguishing Talisman, his face showing a smile.

"Getting hold of a Seven Stars Soul-Extinguishing Talisman is not bad at all."

Zhang Qing’s face showed delight.

At this time, Chen Xuan brought out a golden gourd and said, "The Essence Blood of a late-stage rank six Golden-Eyed Flood Dragon, possessing True Dragon Bloodline. It can enhance the purity of a Flood Dragon’s bloodline and can also be used in Alchemy or exchanged for Artifact Refining materials."

Hearing this, Shen Long’s eyes brightened and he spoke in a hushed tone, "I’ll offer a section of the Six Cleansing Bamboos that’s over twenty thousand years old in exchange for it."

The other bidders also began offering their bids, eager to acquire the item.

Chen Xuan held a sparkling golden Law Disk in his hand, gesturing to communicate with the owner of the item.

Eventually, the vial of Essence Blood was exchanged with Shen Long, and it didn’t take long for a blue-robed elder to deliver the Essence Blood.

After verifying there were no mistakes, Shen Long took out a section of Six Cleansing Bamboos about two feet in length and handed it over to the man in the blue robe. The man in the blue robe took the Six Cleansing Bamboos and left.

"The cultivation resources of the Thunder Continent are indeed rich. In the Green Lotus Continent, it was not easy for my husband to get the essence blood of a sixth-order Flood Dragon with a True Dragon bloodline. Unexpectedly, upon arriving at the Thunder Continent, we obtained two bottles."

"Yes! Two bottles of essence blood will be enough for me to refine many True Dragon Pills. I won’t have to worry about essence blood before entering the late stage of Void Refinement."

Shen Long said with a smile.

They had not found the great opportunity Chu Buyu was hoping for, but they had unexpectedly obtained two bottles of the essence blood of a sixth-order Flood Dragon with a True Dragon bloodline.

Chen Xuan clapped his hands, and eight burly men in yellow shirts came forward carrying a huge golden cage, containing a listless Three-Headed Sly Beast with a silver Talisman shining attached to its body.

"A sixth-order early-stage Three-Headed Sly Beast. This creature is a Mutated Spirit Beast with a bloodline purity of five. It possesses Divine Sense Attack abilities and can be exchanged for any of the Top Ten Spiritual Fruits, in no small quantity."

Shen Long and Chu Buyu naturally were not interested. However, many bidders were, as Mutated Spirit Beasts of the sixth order were rare. They began to speak up one after another.

Regrettably, this beast did not sell. It wasn’t for lack of people who could offer the Top Ten Spiritual Fruits, but the quantities were too small to satisfy the owner.

Chen Xuan took out a beautifully crafted golden brocade box, opened it, and found nine golden flags inside, all of the same size, each with a pattern of a golden moon on them...

"Golden Moon Banner, each one a mid-grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, to be exchanged for materials of equivalent value for Artifact Refining"

Chu Buyu could refine a set of mid-grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasures, so Shen Long naturally had no interest, and the set of Golden Moon Banners did not sell.

"The final item to close the auction, a Flesh Spirit Puppet in the early phase of Void Refinement with the combat power of the Refinement Void Phase. From its appearance, it doesn’t differ from a cultivator, but it possesses the characteristics of a Puppet Beast. To be settled with Top-grade Spirit Stones, the starting bid is one hundred Top-grade Spirit Stones with each increment no less than ten."

Chen Xuan said loudly, with a tall young man in a golden shirt appearing by his side.

"Flesh Spirit Puppet?"

Chu Buyu smiled faintly; she had three Hollow Phasing Late Stage Flesh Spirit Puppets in her possession.

After several bids, the Flesh Spirit Puppet was sold for two hundred and twenty-five Top-grade Spirit Stones. The bidder didn’t have enough Top-grade Spirit Stones and offered some items for auction, including a Qingmei Order.

Shen Long’s face revealed a thoughtful expression. He flipped his right hand, showing a Qingmei Order he had obtained early in his adventures, the key to entering Qingmei Cave Heaven.

Shen Long spent thirty Top-grade Spirit Stones and acquired the Qingmei Order.

The auction ended there, and the cultivators gradually left the venue.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu walked out of Purple Cloud Tower. They hadn’t gone far when a familiar male voice rang in their ears, "Daoist Friend Shen, Fairy Chu, please wait a moment."

As soon as the voice fell, Zhang Shuo and Zhang Qing caught up to them.

Zhang Shuo’s complexion was somewhat off, seemingly injured.

"Daoist Friend Zhang, may I ask what advice you have?"

Shen Long asked calmly.

"Daoist Friend Shen, let’s talk over tea. How’s that?"

Zhang Qing proposed politely.

Shen Long nodded in agreement, and the four made their way to a teahouse and requested a private room.

"Daoist Friend Shen, we have discovered an ancient cultivator’s abode, but our strength is insufficient. We would like to invite you to join us in treasure hunting. What do you think?"

Zhang Shuo got straight to the point, his voice somewhat weak.
