136: Bodhi seeds emerge, a sword talisman

Two guards carried a long black box forward.

The Auctioneer opened the box and took out a heavy black long blade from it. The long blade emitted a faint glow, with a Jiaolong totem on it, exuding an extremely strong killing intent, making it quite extraordinary.

“…”

The cultivators immediately stared at this black long blade. They could feel that this blade was extraordinary, a decent spiritual artifact.

The Auctioneer introduced, “The first item up for auction is the Black-Patterned Jiaolong Blade, a mid-grade spiritual artifact. This item is consigned, and the consignor has a requirement: it can only be traded for spiritual herbs. The starting bid is five thousand-year spiritual herbs, with each bid not less than one. Those interested can start now.”

“Five thousand-year spiritual herbs? That price isn’t low!”

“You also have to consider what this is. It’s a mid-grade spiritual artifact. Five spiritual herbs, the price is still considered low.”

“This is an auction. The starting bid is five thousand-year spiritual herbs, so the final price will at least double.”

“…”

The cultivators present exchanged whispers. Thousand-year spiritual herbs were naturally extremely rare and precious, but a mid-grade spiritual artifact was also not simple.

“Five thousand-year spiritual herbs.”

Some wealthy cultivators could not hold back and decisively made a bid.

Even low-grade spiritual artifacts were very expensive. Now that a mid-grade spiritual artifact had appeared, this price was acceptable.

“Six thousand-year spiritual herbs. I want this spiritual artifact.”

“This old man bids seven thousand-year spiritual herbs. This item is suitable for my disciple.”

“Eight…”

Cultivators continuously called out bids. For ordinary rogue cultivators, a single thousand-year spiritual herb was already incredibly precious, something they would be reluctant to part with. However, in this world, there was no shortage of wealthy individuals.

Some cultivators who came to Millstone Town were from sects, families, and major powers, so they naturally wouldn't lack spiritual medicines.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

This Black-Patterned Jiaolong Blade was acquired for the price of ten thousand-year spiritual herbs. Interestingly, the person who acquired this spiritual artifact was none other than Yan Wugou.

“Quite wealthy!”

Xie Weilou smiled mockingly.

“…”

Yan Ruyu and Yan Ruyi were also staring at Yan Wugou. Evidently, they also recognized Yan Wugou, and their expressions were somewhat solemn, because Yan Wugou had already entered the Dao Repository Realm.

Yan Wugou’s eyes were indifferent, and he said nothing.

Subsequently, the auction continued.

Five items were auctioned consecutively, and Xie Weilou and Lin Qinghuang did not bid, until the sixth item appeared.

“The sixth item up for auction is a Xuan Yuan Bodhi Seed. This is an item of the Buddhist sect, a high-grade treasure. It can enlighten the true self, purify evil, suppress the mind, and so on. Its effects are unique and it is useful even for Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators. This item can be exchanged for pills, spiritual medicines, cultivation techniques, or weapons. As for the price, you can bid as you see fit.”

The Auctioneer smiled calmly.

The Bodhi Seed has special effects and is greatly useful even for Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators. Many cultivators present would likely make a move, so there was no need to worry about the auction price being low.

“Five thousand-year spiritual herbs.”

Yan Ruyi spoke directly.

“Ten.”

Yan Ruyu’s words were indifferent, and she directly added five more.

“…”

Yan Ruyi raised an eyebrow and glanced at Yan Ruyu.

“Fifteen.”

Yan Wugou slowly spoke.

“Fifteen?”

Everyone’s hearts tensed, and they couldn’t help but take a deep look at Yan Wugou. This person had just bid ten thousand-year spiritual herbs to acquire a mid-grade spiritual artifact, and now he was bidding fifteen thousand-year spiritual herbs for the Bodhi Seed. Wasn't this too wealthy?

Such a person's background was definitely not simple.

Some desperate individuals, however, had a glint in their eyes. Though his background was extraordinary and the risk factor high, a fat sheep was right before them, making it worth the gamble.

Xie Weilou looked at Lin Qinghuang: “How about this price?”

Lin Qinghuang shook her head: “It hasn’t reached its limit yet.”

Some old fellows haven't made their move yet.

Xie Weilou smiled calmly. Lin Qinghuang was still able to sit still at this moment, which indicated she was well-prepared. This made Xie Weilou even more curious. Did Lin Qinghuang have so many spiritual herbs on her?

Or perhaps, did the other party have some special item that could be exchanged?

However, Lin Qinghuang wanted this item to further her cultivation, but she was only at the Territory Expansion Realm. So, was acquiring this item, compared to the ultimate effects it would bring, disproportionate?

Lin Qinghuang knew what Xie Weilou was thinking. She shook her head and said, “It’s not that simple! After refining this Bodhi Seed, it will be useful even when I cultivate to the Dragon Transformation Realm.”

The Bodhi Seed, combined with the Buddhist bone relic, could allow her to reach the Tuojiang Realm Peak, but that didn't mean the effects of the Bodhi Seed were gone. Its special effects, hidden within her body, could last for a very long time.

“So that’s how it is.”

Xie Weilou showed a look of realization. If that was the case, then this item was indeed worth bidding on.

“Three Four-Pattern Divine Treasure Pills. I want this item.”

An old man in a Taoist robe with white hair spoke. He was a Dao Repository Realm Peak expert, only one step away from the Profound Manifestation. If he could get the Bodhi Seed, it would be of great use for his breakthrough.

“Hiss! Three Four-Pattern Divine Treasure Pills?”

Everyone gasped, realizing that some old fogeys had come out. Ordinary cultivators were no longer qualified to participate in the auction.

“Since Wood Taoist has offered three Divine Treasure Pills, I’ll add one more.”

A middle-aged man in a black brocade robe slowly spoke. He was also a Dao Repository Realm Peak cultivator.

“Sect Leader Yi of the Jiuhua Sect.”

Everyone looked at the middle-aged man, a hint of fear in their eyes. The Jiuhua Sect was a cultivation sect with a great reputation in Great Xia.

Wood Taoist raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

“You two, stop arguing. I want this item. A Profound Manifestation cultivation technique.”

A charming man in a pink robe holding a folding fan spoke. His aura was very strong, at the Profound Appearance Realm Late Stage.

“Hmm? Xuan You Old Monster of the Hehuan Sect.”

Everyone's faces changed instantly upon seeing this charming man, and their eyes showed a hint of dread.

The Hehuan Sect was a powerful sect within Great Xia, even more formidable than the Jiuhua Sect, with a Profound Phase Realm Peak expert overseeing it.

Wood Taoist and Sect Leader Yi of the Jiuhua Sect's hearts tensed, and they no longer participated in the competition. Since this old monster had spoken, they naturally dared not say more.

The Auctioneer looked at Xuan You Old Monster and asked with a smile, “Xuan You Senior, what cultivation technique are you offering?”

Xuan You said calmly, “I obtained a Qingxuan Sword Scripture when I destroyed Qingyun Cliff earlier, so I’ll use that for the exchange.”

The Auctioneer’s eyes lit up upon hearing this: “The Qingxuan Sword Scripture is indeed extraordinary.”

Xuan You smiled calmly, glancing around: “Is there anyone who wants to compete with me?”

His gaze fell upon Yan Wugou and the others.

Yan Wugou and the others remained silent. Perhaps they had better items, but there was no need to compete with this old fellow at the moment.

“I’ll offer… a sword talisman!”

A clear, cold voice sounded at the opportune moment.

Everyone immediately looked over and saw Lin Qinghuang.

“Hmm?”

Xuan You Old Monster looked at Lin Qinghuang, raising an eyebrow: “You dare to compete with me? You’re quite bold!”

Lin Qinghuang said indifferently, “This is an auction house. Various items, highest bidder wins. Is there a problem?”

“Heh heh! What do you think?”

Xuan You Old Monster’s aura erupted, instantly crushing towards Lin Qinghuang.

“This is Millstone Town, the Millstone Auction House. Daoist friend, you’d best not be presumptuous.”

Just then, a cold voice rang out, and a powerful sword qi instantly dispersed Xuan You Old Monster's aura, sealing him off.

Everyone’s expressions changed slightly. Millstone Town was extraordinary, and the person guarding it was a Profound Phase Realm Peak expert. If one dared to act presumptuously here, they had to consider if they had the strength to do so.

“…”

Xuan You Old Monster’s heart tensed, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.

The cold voice continued, “I can’t control what you do outside, but if you dare to cause trouble here, I don’t mind making you vanish into thin air.”

“I wouldn’t dare.”

Xuan You Old Monster took a deep breath.

A smile appeared on the Auctioneer's face. He looked at Lin Qinghuang: “Daoist friend, may I see your sword talisman?”

Lin Qinghuang waved her hand, and a reddish-yellow jade flew towards the Auctioneer…
