“Excuse me, Fellow Daoist…”
A female Cultivator approached Wang Dun’s location. This female Cultivator was also a Foundation Establishment Stage Disciple.
“This should be my seat!”
Wang Dun and He Pingsheng both looked at the female Cultivator.
“Hehe… no problem…” Wang Dun took out a numbered tag: “Fairy, how about we swap seats?”
“My seat is quite good, it’s in the VIP section above!”
The woman nodded: “Alright!”
She exchanged numbered tags with Wang Dun and left.
He Pingsheng said with an envious expression: “Senior Brother Wang actually has a VIP section numbered tag. You’re doing quite well!”
“It’s alright!” Wang Dun looked a bit smug, saying: “Hehe… you might not know, but I’m currently ranked fourth on the dragon soaring rankings, and I have some special privileges. When I enter these major auctions, I can get a VIP seat!”
“But in reality, it’s not very useful!”
He Pingsheng thought to himself: Sure enough, the Wang Dun on that dragon soaring rankings is you!
“Has Senior Brother Wang joined a large Sect?” He Pingsheng continued to ask.
Wang Dun shook his head: “No… over the years, many Families have extended invitations to me, and some Families even offered to marry their heaven-blessed daughters to me, but I didn’t agree!”
“Now, I can only be considered a Loose Cultivator!”
“Ever since I left the Tai Xu Sect, I’ve been a Loose Cultivator!”
He Pingsheng was greatly astonished: Heavens… amazing! Without the assistance of Sect resources, this guy’s cultivation was actually able to Breakthrough so quickly. It shows he has something special.
Most likely, he has a big secret.
However, He Pingsheng did not covet other people’s secrets.
Who, on the path of Cultivation, doesn’t have a secret or an Opportunity?
The two chatted for a while longer, and more and more people gathered around.
Most of those sitting around He Pingsheng were Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators.
As for the Golden Core Stage mighty figures, they generally sat in the suspended VIP section above.
A gorgeous woman in a dark blue Daoist robe gracefully walked to the center of the auction stage.
A tall table was placed at that position.
The woman stood before the tall table, bowing to everyone with a smile, saying: “A warm welcome to all distinguished guests attending our Coral Merchant Guild’s auction. This humble one, Jinlan, wishes everyone here to obtain their desired items!”
“Before the auction begins, I will first explain the rules!”
“The rules of our Coral Auction are very simple: please bid politely, and do not suppress others’ bids with your status or cultivation!”
“Otherwise, you will be blacklisted by the Coral Merchant Guild and permanently forbidden from entering the Coral Merchant Guild’s auctions and private trade fairs!”
“Secondly, regarding the auction fees!”
“For items owned by our Guild, no intermediate fees will be charged!”
“For some items consigned by our Guild, a five percent intermediate fee will be charged!”
“Before each item goes up for auction, I will state its origin!”
“Fellow Daoists, do you have any questions?”
Jinlan looked at everyone!
No one stood up to ask questions.
After all, everyone knew the basic rules of an auction.
“Good…” Jinlan said: “Today’s auction officially begins!”
“Please look at our first auction item… This is an item owned by our Guild, so no extra fees are required after bidding!”
The woman waved her hand, taking out a small, circular fan the size of a palm. She shook it in her hand and said: “A Low Grade Magic Treasure, with nine layers of Restrictions on it, named the ‘Seven-Colored Fan’. It is a fire-attributed Magic Treasure!”
“Fellow Daoists, Seniors!” The woman continued: “You may extend your Divine Thought to examine it!”
Boom…
Countless people extended their Divine Thought.
He Pingsheng and Wang Dun were naturally no exception.
He Pingsheng looked with his Divine Thought and then retracted it.
Wang Dun, however, flushed with excitement, then swallowed twice deeply, muttering: “Damn it… this Coral Merchant Guild really knows how to play!”
He Pingsheng asked: “What’s wrong?”
Wang Dun whispered: “This woman has nothing on her body to block Divine Thought!”
He Pingsheng asked again: “What do you mean?”
Wang Dun pursed his lips: “Just use your Divine Thought to scan her body and you’ll know!”
Since there were many people and Divine Thoughts were chaotic here, He Pingsheng again extended his Divine Thought to scan the woman’s body. Immediately, his face turned crimson, and his mouth went dry: “This… this… this woman…”
He Pingsheng’s nose almost bled.
This woman was not wearing any clothing that could block Divine Thought, which meant that any Disciple at the Foundation Establishment Stage could easily scan her entire body.
Of course, since her body was completely open, her cultivation was naturally also open.
Completely exposed.
Foundation Establishment Stage, seventh layer.
“Gulp… gulp gulp gulp…” He Pingsheng swallowed twice deeply.
As he grew older, he understood more about the matters between men and women. He was no longer the naive young man who had once foolishly asked Qiao Huizhu ‘how to occupy someone else’s body’.
“Hehehe…” Wang Dun chuckled softly, saying: “Brother, your reaction is a bit strong!”
He Pingsheng took a deep breath, blushing as he tried to calm himself, but accidentally scanned the woman with his Divine Thought again.
“Don’t be shy!” Wang Dun said: “Later, I, your elder brother, will take you to Spring Breeze Pavilion. The women there are Loose Cultivators like you and me. They have no Sect background, no cultivation resources, and can only earn some Spirit Medicine by cultivating with others. Hehehe… they all have first-rate bodies!”
He Pingsheng shook his head. After a few breaths, he returned to his normal state.
Are you kidding me!
The Xuanmen Jingxin True Art was not cultivated for nothing. After one major circulation, his mind was naturally as calm as water.
“One Seven-Colored Fan, starting bid 130,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones!” The woman named Jinlan’s voice was clear and calm: “Each bid increment must not be less than 5,000 Spirit Stones!”
“Seniors, please make your bids!”
Hearing this price, He Pingsheng was startled.
It was really too expensive.
But it was also normal; after all, it was a Magic Treasure.
What is a Magic Treasure?
It is a type of treasure one level higher than a Spiritual Artifact.
The number of Restrictions on it varies, some have nine layers, some have twelve layers.
Twelve layers is the best grade.
However, Magic Treasures have a special characteristic: they can be upgraded.
Generally, after a Cultivator’s cultivation enters the Golden Core Stage, they will independently seek out Materials to refine a weapon that matches their own attribute. Once this item is refined, it is stored within the Dantian to be nurtured. The longer it is nurtured, the higher its grade becomes, and correspondingly, the greater its attack power.
Of course, the growth rate of a Magic Treasure also depends on its original refining Materials.
Theoretically, there is no upper limit to the growth of a Magic Treasure.
As long as you have enough upgrade Materials, it can be endlessly upgraded, not only to a top-grade Magic Treasure but also to Breakthrough the limits of a Magic Treasure, ascending to Profound Treasure, ancient treasure, and so on…
