Shen Ao could not help but gasp when he heard the data given by the system. Even Zhi Hua, who was standing at the side, could see the difference in Shen Ao's expression.
"The starting price of this jade is 20,000 taels of gold, and each increment must not be lower than 500 taels of gold.”
"Tsk, a piece of broken stone that we don't even know how to use actually costs 20,000 gold taels. Only an idiot would buy it.”There was a lot of discussion below the stage.
Shen Ao did not care about the discussions in the hall at all and raised his sign.
"The third VIP room has made another bid. One hundred thousand taels! Another hundred thousand taels! " One hundred thousand taels going once…" The auctioneer thought that the jade would be unsold, but who would have thought that the third VIP room would be so unpopular? This was already the fourth bid of 100,000 taels from the third VIP room. There was no doubt that the focus of today's auction was the mysterious room number three.
"100,000 gold taels going twice…is there anyone else who wants to raise the bid?”
"100,000 gold going thrice…Congratulations to VIP room number three for obtaining this piece of jade.”The auctioneer was ecstatic and could not wait to bid for the hammer. He looked like he was afraid that the customer would go back on his word.
Shen Ao curled his lips in disdain. Perhaps this spirit stone was not worth much to ordinary people or martial artists. However, to him, 4000 points was nothing. That was a considerable amount of wealth. Spirit stones, what were spirit stones? This was a necessity for cultivators. At the very least, Shen Ao had profited greatly.
"Alright, there's nothing else to see down there. Let's go.”Retracting his gaze, Shen Ao stood up lazily and led Zhi Hua to the exchange counter.
After spending all 400,000 gold taels, Shen Ao also obtained a piece of Gold Quality Meteoric Iron, a thousand-year-old ginseng, a martial arts manual with a recycling price of 500 points, and a Spiritual Stone.
When Shen Ao walked out of the auction house with these items. Zhi Hua's cheeks were flushed red. It was the first time she had seen such a big scene. Now, she finally understood. Not only was his master rich, but he was also extremely rich. Following such a master seemed to be quite good. However, when she thought of the salary that her master gave her, which was only one tael of silver a month, she gritted her teeth in hatred. Too bad, this guy was obviously so rich. Why is my salary so low?
"I haven't been back for more than a month. I wonder if my master misses me?”Looking at the clear sky, Shen Ao stretched his back comfortably and walked out of the city slowly.
Zhi Hua carefully followed behind Shen Ao, occasionally turning back to look.
"Master, it seems like someone is following us. What should we do?”At this time, Zhi Hua seemed to notice the abnormality behind her and asked in a slightly nervous voice. She knew that her master was resourceful, but it was not good to be spied on.
"Don't worry, if they have any evil intentions, just kill them.”Shen Ao smiled nonchalantly. He had spent so much money at the auction just now, so it was only natural that he would be targeted. However, if those guys behind really dared to have designs on him, they would purely be here to give him points.
When no one was paying attention, Shen Ao took the Gold Quality Meteoric Iron and the martial arts manual. He had accumulated 900 points. Adding on the 430 points he had left, he had a total of 1330 points.
Of course, 1330 points was definitely not the final result. He also had to include the 4000 points worth of spirit stones.
For now, no matter how many points this spirit stone was worth, Shen Ao would not hesitate to take it back. His realm was still far away from cultivation. No matter how valuable it was, what was the use if it couldn't be used? Why would he abandon what was near and seek what was far away?
"Low-grade spirit stone successfully retrieved. Player received 4000 points, totaling 5330 points.”
"Player, do you wish to use 2500 points to exchange for the fourth, fifth, and sixth strikes of the Six Pulses Divine Sword?”
"Congratulations to the player for obtaining the complete set of Six Pulses Divine Sword cultivation technique. 2830 points remaining.”
After learning the full set of Six Pulses Divine Sword techniques, Shen Ao felt more at ease. How could this divine technique known as the number one sword technique in the world be extraordinary? This time, not only did he learn the Six Pulses Divine Sword, but he also had over 2800 points left. He could totally learn another set of martial arts.
The Northern Dark Divine Art was enough for the time being, so he was not in a hurry to exchange for the remaining visualization pictures. Moreover, the internal energy required to break through from the Transformation Jin stage to the Connate stage was not something that could be done overnight.
Currently, the sword technique he cultivated was the Sword Drawing Technique, the Six Pulses Divine Sword. Since that was the case, it was not a bad choice to cultivate the Sword Dao to the extreme. At the very least, the sword techniques could be used flexibly and easily. Among the peerless sword techniques, the most famous one was none other than the Nine Swords Beyond the Swords. This sword technique created by Dugu Bubai was definitely the best among all sword techniques.
Of course, to exchange for the full version of the Nine Swords Beyond the Swords, he would need to spend 5000 points. Shen Ao had never received so many points before. Therefore, he could only learn half of the sword moves temporarily. The Nine Swords Beyond the Swords were divided into the general form, the sword-breaking form, the blade-breaking form, the spear-breaking form, the whip-breaking form, the rope-breaking form, the palm-breaking form, the arrow-breaking form, and the qi-breaking form.
To Shen Ao, the Broken Arrow Stance was not very useful because he had a domineering presence. He was not afraid of any group attacks at all. In addition, he had the Floating Wave Subtle Steps. It was too difficult for ordinary arrows to hit him. As for the Whip Breaker, Rope Breaker, Spear Breaker, and Palm Breaker, they were also dispensable. After all, there were very few martial artists who used whips, ropes, spears, and palms. With the combination of Six Pulses Divine Sword and Wave Subtle Steps in hand, Shen Ao could completely exhaust himself and retreat from a distance when facing these kinds of opponents.
Therefore, after using 2500 points, Shen Ao exchanged for the four styles of the Nine Beyond the Swords: the general style, the sword-breaking style, the saber-breaking style, and the qi-breaking style.
As the cultivation method of these four moves, the order of the moves, and all kinds of complicated sword moves entered Shen Ao's mind. Shen Ao had used almost the time for an incense stick to burn to consume and comprehend, which was enough to show the profoundness of the Nine Beyond Swords. Shen Ao had only used a moment to comprehend the Deep North Subtle Steps Divine Art and the Sword Drawing Art.
Basically, after cultivating these martial arts, Shen Ao's need for cultivation technique manuals was dispensable. On the path of martial arts, one would bite off more than they could chew. It was like learning the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and then learning the Great Strength Vajra Finger. It was not very meaningful. This was because if the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms couldn't defeat someone, the Great Strength Vajra Finger might not be able to win. Of course, the most important thing was that learning two peerless cultivation techniques meant spending more points. With so many points, Shen Ao might as well save them to exchange for the skills of the third type of page.
Since Shen Ao was the one who developed Dream World, he knew very well what skills the third type of exchange page had and how heaven-defying they were. For example, the Gale Steps that could be exchanged for 15,000 points, and the Lushan Rising Dragon Tyrant that could be exchanged for 20,000 points. That was Saint Seiya's Purple Dragon's ultimate move. How could ordinary martial arts compare to it?
Of course, if he had the remaining points, Shen Ao planned to exchange them for a Nine Yin Scripture and a Heaven and Earth Great Shift as the sect martial arts of the Cyan Phoenix Palace in the future. If he wanted to help his beautiful master revitalize the sect, he would have to sacrifice some personal interests. Hmm…If necessary, he would have to exchange for a copy of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique. After all, he had his attack and movement techniques, but his defense was a little weak. As for the Immortal Golden Body, Devil Fruit, Superman Bloodline, and so on, the points required were too expensive. If Shen Ao did not get the reward from the skill lottery, he would have to spend 50000 points to exchange for the Conqueror's Haki. Superhuman blood? That was even more exaggerated. 200,000 points, non-negotiable.
The more Shen Ao thought about it, the more he felt that he was too 'poor'. Ah! God, please give me 100 high-tier spirit stones…
He brought Zhi Hua out of Tian Xiang City and the two of them walked slowly. At the same time, Shen Ao did not forget to pay attention to the movements behind him. As expected, there was a group of people following him closely.
Hehe, he had just finished his shopping spree and was lacking points. These guys were really cute. They were eagerly sending points over. Without thinking, Shen Ao decisively exchanged for 30 bullets.
"Master, are we just going to walk back like this? Is Master's sect far from Fragrant Sky City?”After walking for a while, Zhi Hua was already drenched in sweat. She didn't have Shen Ao's cultivation and didn't know any Qinggong, so it was natural for her to feel tired when she walked.
Shen Ao looked around and smiled. He waved his hand and said,"If you're tired, sit down and rest.”
"Is that so? Will it be dangerous?" Zhi Hua's heart skipped a beat and she quickly hid behind Shen Ao.
"Hahaha, friends, aren't you tired after following me for so long? Come out."
"Hehe, kid, you're quite clever. They discovered us so quickly. You were quite forthright at the auction just now. He had spent four hundred thousand taels of gold just to buy those few lousy toys. We won't take advantage of you. You just need to give us two hundred thousand gold taels and we'll spare your life.”
Eight figures walked out of the forest one after another. At first glance, what a good fellow! Four of them were at the HuaJin stage and four were at the Half-Step HuaJin stage. He did not expect to catch a few big fish this time.
"Hmm? Kid, what's with that look? Are you looking down on us? You're only at the first stage of the HuaJin stage, but we have four of them here.”Facing Shen Ao's contemptuous gaze, the eight of them looked slightly unsightly. If it wasn't for the fact that this kid was filthy rich, they wouldn't have joined forces to rob him. After all, with their strength and status, they usually disdained to do such things.
"Four HuaJin stage cultivators are worth about 1500 to 2000 points, and four Half-Step HuaJin stage cultivators are worth 400 points. Adding on the 300 points I had previously, it should be enough to exchange for the upper part of the Nine Yin Scripture for Master and the others. Mm, not bad, not bad." Shen Ao smiled widely.
"Brat, what are you talking about?”
"Hmph, a bunch of trash. You still want to rob me? Leave your lives behind." Suddenly, Shen Ao glared at him with a domineering look.
In an instant, the four Half-Step to HuaJin Realm martial artists fell to the ground.
Faced with such a sudden change, the remaining four people's expressions changed abruptly! Oh no! He had kicked an iron plate! This guy was hiding his strength. He actually knocked out the four of them just by relying on his aura. Could this guy be a Xiantian expert?？？
When Zhi Hua saw Shen Ao displaying his divine might once again, her eyes could not help but flash with a dazed look. Although she was very dissatisfied with her master's stinginess and the fact that he forced her to become a maid, she had to admit that this scoundrel was really... very handsome when he showed off his power! Zhi Hua felt her cheeks turn red.
"Foolish mortals, start trembling! Bahahaha." This was Shen Ao's monologue.
Holding the Black Iron Sword in one hand and the Desert Eagle in the other, Shen Ao used the Wave Subtle Steps to quickly approach the four people.
Bang! Gunshots rang out as bullets tore through the air. The expressions of the four changed drastically, and they hurriedly dodged to the side.
In fact, the Desert Eagle was not very useful against a martial artist at the HuaJin stage. Unless it was a sneak attack! Just like when he was dealing with the green-robed man from Tiger Blade Sect, he had taken advantage of his distraction.
Of course, Shen Ao did not shoot to kill the target, but to force them to scatter so that he could take them down one by one. After all, Shen Ao did not know much about their martial arts. If they were powerful, he would be in danger.
Seeing that the four of them had scattered to avoid the bullets, Shen Ao approached the weakest person among them as fast as he could, like a tiger among a flock of sheep.
In the next second, the Sword Drawing Technique was executed, and a breeze swept across the air. That person retreated frantically, but he was a step too late. The moment he retreated, a red mark appeared on his neck.
