Chapter 265: Chapter 179: Auction_2
Translator: 549690339
It wasn’t long before a person flew in, a middle-aged Taoist man with a broad and plump figure, his appearance rather prosperous.
It was…
“I am Bai Yunzi, honored by Spell King’s favor to preside over this auction.”
Bai Yunzi landed on the stage and saluted in all directions, “The rules are, I presume, clear to all, so I shall not elaborate further. I hope everyone present will bear them in mind and not breach the regulations of Green Jade Mountain.”
Having said that, he raised his hand and announced in a loud voice, “The first item up for auction, Golden Core Skill scripture!”
“The Golden Core Skill includes thirty-six methods and seventy-two scriptures, making a total of one hundred and eight Mana Points!”
“Included are the Three Sects’ heritage, as well as Martial Arts Scripture and Taoist Scriptures, and new cultivating skills devised by Spell King himself!”
“In essence, any Cultivator from Liang Country should be able to find relevant scriptures and, by following the steps faithfully, aspire to reach Golden Core.”
“This item will not be auctioned. Anyone present may purchase it; the complete Cultivation Technique costs one hundred thousand Spirit Stones, and a partial heritage costs ten thousand Spirit Stones!”
Bai Yunzi looked at the audience with a smile, “If any friends here need it, use this Jade Slip to make your selection. After the auction is concluded, go to Green Jade Book Tower, hand in your Spirit Stones with this Jade Slip, and you will obtain the Cultivation Technique heritage.”
Without further ado, he swept his sleeve, and Spirit Light flew out, transforming into numerous Jade Slips, falling before the crowd.
“This…”
The audience exchanged looks, unsure of what to do for a moment.
Although they had received “inside information” knowing that Green Jade Mountain was pricing its Cultivation Technique heritage very low, they hadn’t expected it to be this low.
A complete Golden Core Skill for just one hundred thousand Spirit Stones?
What does one hundred thousand Spirit Stones mean?
In the past, the Zhou Family of Qingfeng Mountain, at their strongest, no more than late Foundation Establishment, had a fortune of several million Spirit Stones.
Those powers daring to want Golden Core Cultivation Techniques, which one did not have ancestors who had reached Perfect Foundation Building?
Not to mention one hundred thousand, even a million or ten million, they could afford it.
Green Jade Mountain setting the price so low, could it be an act of philanthropy?
This thought had barely surfaced in people’s minds when they remembered the various changes in Liang Kingdom Cultivation Realm in recent times, and they were suddenly startled.
Philanthropy?
Possibly.
But surely not the main reason.
What exactly was King Shifa up to, that he was driving the development of Liang Kingdom Cultivation Realm to such a degree?
Foundation Establishment was understandable.
But Golden Core…
He himself was merely a Golden Core too!
With Golden Core becoming widespread, how could it benefit him?
Wasn’t he afraid that one day, some extraordinary talent would emerge, achieve Nascent Soul, and overthrow him?
Alright, he really wasn’t afraid; of the many Golden Cores from the Three Sects, most had turned to ash, and the rest had been captured alive by him, controlled through Curse Spells, turned into his hunting dogs, obedient to his commands.
Even for Nascent Souls, they might not be his match.
So it seemed, was he aiming to nurture a multitude of Golden Cores to strengthen his forces for a decisive battle with Tianshu Sect?
The crowd could only come up with this explanation.
To become Golden Cores, to be cannon fodder!
Very risky.
But it didn’t prevent the crowd from taking action.
The Golden Core Skill could not be missed.
Although Green Jade Mountain had said the major marketplaces would sell the skills directly afterward, who knew when “afterward” would come?
Tianshu Sect hadn’t been destroyed yet!
King Shifa, no matter how strong, seemed to have no solution for the Tianshu Great Array.
The world is unpredictable; who knows, one day Tianshu Sect might make a comeback.
Then, the Liang Kingdom Cultivation Realm would change hands again.
While the crowd did not care whose sky was above their heads, clearly you couldn’t expect Tianshu Sect to sell Golden Core Skills and various Spiritual Objects at such low prices.
Therefore, the skills had to be bought, and the upcoming Spiritual Objects were even more fiercely contested.
Miss this opportunity, and there would be no other chance.
The crowd began to move, purchasing the Cultivation Technique heritage.
Bai Yunzi did not say more, and after a short while, introduced the second auction item.
“The second item up for auction, the cultivating skills heritage!”
“Those who cultivate longevity are practitioners of skills, those who fight and protect the Dao are practitioners of spells!”
“The cultivating skills heritage involves fighting.”
“It includes the Martial Arts Scripture, Taoist Scriptures, Thunder Series, Sword technique, great virtues of Spell King, imparting methods to the world.”
“This item, like the first, will not be auctioned. Anyone present may purchase it; the complete Mana Point costs one hundred thousand Spirit Stones, and a partial heritage costs ten thousand Spirit Stones!”
Bai Yunzi looked at the audience, “Please, friends!”
The crowd fell silent, then bent their heads, quietly browsing through the Jade Slips, purchasing the spells they desired.
Even though under Spell King’s rule, Robbing Cultivators had almost died out, with little conflict in the Cultivation Realm, the present calm did not mean the future would be the same.
If Tianshu Sect were to return, restoring Liang Country to its original state, then battles and strife would undoubtedly be unavoidable.
Even if Tianshu didn’t reclaim the country, who could guarantee Liang’s situation would remain unchanged forever?
Spells for Dao Protection, techniques for battle.
You might not use them, but you cannot be without them!
Even ordinary Cultivators thought so, let alone the warriors who lived by combat.
“Golden Core Sword Jue, Golden Core Sword Jue!”
“Who would have thought I, Zhuo Bufan, would be able to attain a Golden Core Sword Jue in my lifetime!”
“Thunder Series True Scripture, Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment are easy to find, but Golden Core is extremely rare, and now…”
“Spell King is merciful, Spell King is merciful indeed!”
The battle cultivators, especially those obsessed with the Sword Dao, looking at the many skills listed on the Jade Slip, could hardly contain their tears.
“Friends, please be patient!”
Bai Yunzi smiled, “Whether it’s skills or spells, each comes with an added section for crafting Mana Money.”
“Any Cultivator with Mana can practice this method, turning Mana into Mana Money.”
“Mana Money has wonderful uses, comparable to Spirit Stones, but cannot be stored for long and must be kept within a Mana Altar.”
“Friends here can refine Mana Money for transactions with us at Green Jade Mountain, for the exchange rate between Mana Money and Spirit Stones can be found at various marketplace stores.”
