445: Animal bones

It is said that Immortal in ancient times often chose not to use Jade Slips when faced with some powerful Cultivation Methods.

Because the preservation Time of Jade Slips was too short, they might disappear in the years after a few thousand years.

Moreover, because the material of the Jade Slips themselves was ordinary, they couldn't even withstand the power that some Cultivation Methods inherently possessed.

That's right, the more powerful the Cultivation Methods, the more extraordinary their inherent might. This is especially true for Golden Core and Nascent Soul Realm Cultivation Methods, which are even more difficult to Revered Master.

Therefore, Immortal in ancient times chose to record them on the bones of demonic beasts.

Powerful demonic beast bones are far harder than Jade Slips and can also withstand the power brought by some powerful Cultivation Methods.

And these beast bones that recorded ancient Cultivation Methods are also called True Bones.

The better the material of the True Bones, the more powerful the Cultivation Methods within, starting with at least Golden Core Realm Cultivation Methods.

I didn't expect the first item at this Golden Cloud Auction House to be so rare.

As expected of the largest auction house in Jinyun Continent, what a grand gesture.

On the glazed lamp, the clear white beast bone flowed with a warm luster. Zhou Luo noticed that a piece of the bone was actually missing.

It seems this is an incomplete Cultivation Method, no wonder it was placed here.

"As you can see, this is an ancient True Bone, which records a Golden Core Realm Cultivation Method," the Old Man on the stage slowly said.

As soon as these words came out, the auction hall immediately caused a sensation. Everyone focused their attention on the beast bone, their eyes flashing with spiritual light, like streaks of lightning flashing across, wanting to peek.

But the light flowing on the surface of the beast bone automatically formed a barrier, making it impossible for people to see through.

Only Golden Core Realm powerhouses could possibly know what was contained within.

However, since the Golden Cloud Auction House said it was a Golden Core Realm Cultivation Method, it is likely so.

"I wonder what grade of Golden Core Realm Cultivation Method this is. If it's upper-grade, then no matter how high the price, I must obtain it," someone's voice came from a certain private room.

The voice was deep and resonant like thunder, like thunder exploding in the ear, and carried a strong pressure.

Clearly, he was threatening the other Cultivator in the hall.

Although the auction house stipulated that one could not threaten or coerce others, the other party was merely stating their thoughts and had not reached the point of actual threat.

But some Cultivator looked at the location of the private room, and after realizing it was a Lord from an Immortal Sect, immediately gave up the idea of competing.

It's just a piece of beast bone, and it's even incomplete. It's not worth offending the other party.

Jinyun Continent has nine major regions, and there are over a dozen Immortal Sect Sects in total, none of which are easy to provoke.

During every large-scale auction, these Immortal Sects would more or less send Disciples or Elder from their Sects to participate in the auction.

However, due to the great war between the Azure Origin Sect and the Crimson Light Sect, neither Sect sent anyone to participate.

Surprisingly, the Green Mountain Sect from the Green Mountain Region also seemed to have no Disciples participating.

Although Zhou Luo was very tempted by the beast bone, if it was incomplete, he would have to consider it carefully.

Because an incomplete beast bone means an incomplete Cultivation Method, and the extent of the incompleteness is unknown.

If only partially incomplete, practicing it could still exert considerable power.

But if too much is incomplete, the entire Cultivation Method might not even be comparable to a Foundation Establishment Cultivation Method.

There's no need to gamble.

"The starting bid is two thousand Spirit Stone (mid grade), with a minimum increase of one hundred Spirit Stone (mid grade) for each bid. Let the bidding begin!" the Old Man said indifferently.

"I bid two thousand Spirit Stone (mid grade)."

The Immortal Sect Disciple who was determined to get it immediately spoke.

The Spirit Stone he mentioned were no longer ordinary Spirit Stone, but Spirit Stone (mid grade).

At their level, lower-grade Spirit Stones can no longer meet their daily Cultivation needs. Unless specifically stated, the default is generally Spirit Stone (mid grade).

Two thousand Spirit Stone (mid grade) to buy an ancient Golden Core Cultivation Method, even if it's incomplete, seems like a profit no matter how you look at it.

You should know that a top-grade Foundation Establishment Magical Artifact costs Zhou Luo a full three thousand Spirit Stone.

Clearly, this Golden Core Cultivation Method must be very incomplete, which is why it's worth this price.

Zhou Luo decided not to make a move.

He didn't make a move, but there were still others competing with the Immortal Sect Disciple who spoke.

"I bid two thousand one hundred Spirit Stone (mid grade)."

A clear voice sounded, the voice was a bit young, not as aggressive as the previous person, but it was firm and resolute.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and found it came from a private room in the back.

The private rooms here, except for those in the front which have unique identifiers, are basically for VIPs with abundant assets or those who do not want to reveal their identity.

Those like Zhou Luo who entered based on their Azure Spring True Sect identity naturally appeared in the Sect's exclusive private room.

It seems Ye Qian's Revered Master is quite fond of her.

It is estimated that the Azure Spring True Sect sent these three young girls to this auction.

Compared to the clear Immortal Sect Disciple in the front, the voice from the private room in the back was clearly a great surprise.

For the auction house, competition is naturally a good thing.

The Old Man on the stage said with a smile, "This distinguished guest has bid two thousand one hundred Spirit Stone (mid grade). Is there anyone else who wants to bid?"

"I bid two thousand five hundred Spirit Stone (mid grade)."

The person who spoke first spoke again, as if he was determined to get this.

"I bid two thousand six hundred Spirit Stone (mid grade)."

Unexpectedly, the person in the private room behind also did not intend to give up.

"Three thousand Spirit Stone (mid grade)."

"Three thousand five hundred Spirit Stone (mid grade)."

"Four thousand Spirit Stone (mid grade)."

...

In an instant, the auction hall turned into a competition between two people.

However, in the end, the person who spoke first had the upper hand.

He spent a full five thousand Spirit Stone (mid grade) to acquire this beast bone.

"As expected of an Immortal Sect Disciple, they are indeed rich."

Zhou Luo lay on the sofa and sighed.

An incomplete beast bone actually cost five thousand Spirit Stone (mid grade), which is almost enough to buy two top-grade Foundation Establishment Magical Artifacts.

He thought to himself.

This person was so determined to get it, he must have received information, and perhaps even had the missing part of that beast bone.

If he had the other incomplete part, then it would be understandable.

Otherwise, unless he was a big spender, he wouldn't spend so many Spirit Stone to buy it.

The first auction item ended, and the auction continued. Since the first item was so significant, everyone was filled with anticipation for the items to come.

Next, as expected, a series of good quality items appeared. Exclamations echoed from the auction hall, and as one rare item after another appeared, the atmosphere in the venue also became heated.

"Tianmo Spear, forged from the treasured bones of the Demon Clan. Because of severe damage, it is only a top-grade Foundation Establishment Magical Artifact. If it can be repaired, its power will be immense, comparable to upper-grade spiritual artifacts," the Old Man said as he looked at the item on the stone platform.

It was a long spear that was entirely blood-red. Although one side of the spearhead was missing and the spear body was covered in cracks, it was still bright red like blood, radiating a chilling aura.

"I want it."

The person who first bid on the beast bone spoke again.

Zhou Luo was also attracted by the voice and looked at the mark on the private room.

"Which Immortal Sect is that?" he asked curiously.

"It's the Ice Snow Sect from the Snow Region," Ye Qian explained.

Hearing the words Ice Snow Sect, Zhou Luo frowned and suddenly thought of something.

"Is Ice Fairy also in this Immortal Sect?"

Previously, when he obtained the Talisman Treasure of the Ice Frost Halberd, he saw in the description that Ice Fairy was mentioned.

It said that the Ice Frost Halberd was Ice Fairy's magical treasure.

If he could find her, perhaps there would be a chance to refine another Talisman Treasure.

After all, the power of the Ice Frost Halberd was not small and could be used as a trump card.

Moreover, since Ice Fairy was willing to refine Talisman Treasures, if he paid a sufficient price, he would likely be able to invite her.

Before Ye Qian could speak, the blue-robed woman beside her suddenly sounded suspicious.

"You know Ice Fairy?"
