"This painting…"
Lu Chuan couldn't help but frown when he saw the woman in the portrait.
For some reason, he felt that the woman in the painting was alive and her eyes were staring at him.
"This thing is similar to the Summoning Card, but it's much lower end.”
The system's voice suddenly sounded, and Lu Chuan came to a realization.
The essence of this painting was actually the same as the Summoning Card. They both extracted a trace of the power of the soul.
However, the Summoning Card could completely simulate a cultivator's figure, appearance, and aura. It could even injure a cultivator at the 6th level of the Refinement Stage with one move. Ordinary people would not be able to tell if it was real or fake.
This painting was much worse. It could only place a trace of soul power on the painting, and it did not have the power displayed by the Summoning Card at all.
"150 low-grade spirit stones!"
"Two hundred dollars!"
……
Without waiting for Lu Chuan to think carefully, a group of people began to bid. Moreover, the price rose very quickly. In less than a cup of tea's time, it had reached 500 low-grade spirit stones.
At this moment, the bidding speed slowed down and began to rise one spirit stone at a time.
"Is it really that valuable?"
Lu Chuan was a little speechless. This piece of junk was actually sold for more than 500 low-grade spirit stones. Did their spirit stones come from the wind?
"The Soul Formation Realm is a threshold. After passing it, you will cross the gap between immortal and mortal. If you can't pass it, your soul will dissipate and your body will die. Since it was so difficult to advance, things related to the Soul Formation Stage were naturally even more precious.”
"I see."
Lu Chuan thought to himself and understood what was going on.
In the end, the painting was sold at the price of 534 low-grade spirit stones. Lu Chuan could not help but be speechless. These people were really rich.
The second item was a pitch-black object the size of a fist. Its surface was uneven, and it looked very much like Kangxi's pockmarked face.
"A piece of dark iron, weighing 157 jin, with less than 60% impurities.”
The old man raised the item so that everyone could see it clearly.
"I didn't expect it to be dark iron."
Hearing the old man's words, Lu Chuan's face suddenly showed a strange expression.
Darksteel was black iron and was considered a relatively good material for refining weapons.
Just like how humans could become cultivators and wild beasts could become spirit beasts, iron could also become dark iron.
However, unlike spirit beasts, dark iron was not only harder than ordinary iron stones, but it also had a very good characteristic, which was its spiritual energy conductivity. This was also one of the necessary conditions for refining magic weapons.
This fist-sized piece of dark iron weighed more than 150 jin. After removing the impurities, there was still more than 60 jin left. It was enough to refine a good magic tool.
"With dark iron as the main body, it can be refined into a high-grade magic weapon at most.”
The old man looked around, waiting for the atmosphere to brew.
As expected, the old man's words immediately caused a huge uproar.
The Patriarchs of the three great clans of Blazing Snow City were all at the Qi Condensation stage or above, but the weapons they used were all top-grade mortal weapons. From this, one could see how precious magic tools were.
When cultivators fought with humans and beasts, the most important thing was weapons.
If this piece of black iron was used to refine a magic tool level weapon, it could completely increase the combat strength of a cultivator by 30%.
Seemingly satisfied with everyone's reaction, the old man pressed his hands down and said,"The starting price is 500 low-grade spirit stones, and each increase must be no less than 10 low-grade spirit stones.”
"Six hundred dollars!"
"650 dollars!"
"660 dollars!"
……
As soon as the old man finished speaking, a group of people immediately began to bid.
Similar to the painting scroll, this kind of thing that could increase one's combat strength was very popular, and the price rose very quickly.
It had to be said that black iron was a good thing. It could be refined into magic artifacts. Unfortunately, Lu Chuan already had the top-grade magic tool, the inner armor of the raised porpoise, and the middle-grade magic tool, the Qingfeng sword. He didn't care about these things at all.
Alright, he was actually reluctant to buy it.
Spending a quarter of his wealth to buy a piece of stone that he did not need, and then finding someone to refine it, Lu Chuan was crazy to do that.
"930 low-grade spirit stones! Are there any higher bids?"
At this point, the price had basically reached the bottom. After all, spirit stones were a necessary resource for cultivation. Many Qi Condensation cultivators only had three to five hundred spirit stones.
However, there were many rich people in this world, and so were cultivators.
"A middle-grade spirit stone!"
A sharp voice came from the private room, and the entire auction hall immediately fell silent.
Spirit stones were divided into three grades, and the exchange ratio set by each sect and force was one to one thousand. However, in the transactions between cultivators, this ratio could reach more than 1,500.
The higher the grade of the spirit stone, the more spiritual energy it contained and the purer it was. Low-grade spirit stones were the main currency used by Qi Condensation and Qi Condensation cultivators, while middle-grade spirit stones were used by Soul Formation and Soul Refinement cultivators.
Although the five major powers of Chu had come to a remote place like Blazing Snow City, Deity Transformation cultivators were extremely rare even among these powers. At this moment, someone shouted out a middle-grade spirit stone, which naturally attracted attention.
"5th layer of the qi condensation stage, I wonder which family's second generation ancestor he is.”
Lu Chuan sighed. The urge to hug someone's thigh grew stronger and stronger.
"A middle-grade spirit stone! Deal!"
Without any hesitation, the old man ended the auction after hearing the bid. The other cultivators did not complain and quietly waited for the next item.
"I'm still too poor!"
Lu Chuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart as he looked at the items that were useless to him being sold at sky-high prices.
"Do a few more of Lu Hao's no-cost transactions and you'll be rich.”
The system had bewitched Lu Chuan's mind. Not only did it not start well, but the process had also led him down the wrong path.
But then again, Lu Chuan wasn't a good person to begin with. He couldn't blame the system for leading him astray.
"Eh? He did not expect such a small place to have such good things.”
Just as Lu Chuan was about to doze off from boredom, the system's surprised voice suddenly sounded.
"I've found a treasure. I must bid for it, even if I have to go bankrupt. If you can't win, then think of a way to kill all the people who are fighting with you.”
"What is it? Why are you so excited?"
Lu Chuan was a little shocked. This system had always been so awesome and arrogant. This was the first time he had heard such an anxious tone.
"An extremely special natural spiritual item that can break the shackles of a spirit beast's bloodline. As long as it ate it, it would be much easier for the bootlicker to break through its level every time. It might even reach the level of its ancestor, the divine beast, the Heavenly Hound.”
"There's such a thing? Buy! I have to buy it even if I have to go bankrupt!"
Lu Chuan's eyes narrowed as he made a decision in his heart.
He had to buy this thing. Whoever dared to snatch it from him would die.
