200: A corner of the Heavenly Palace

At this moment, an even more violent Divine Sense of a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator enveloped the entire venue.

"Fellow Daoist Ding Yun, you aren't dead yet?"

"Even if you're not dead, you cannot act presumptuously in the Treasure Pavilion, right?"

"What?"

"Are you bullying my Treasure Pavilion for having no one?"

"Or do you think the little girl on the stage is easy to bully?"

Fairy You Lan, who was on the stage, felt all the pressure on her body vanish instantly, and she slowly straightened her body.

"Thank you, Elder!"

She then regained her composure, though the charm on her body had vanished.

The Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator called Ding Yun hadn't expected the Treasure Pavilion to react so strongly.

She had only urged them a little; she hadn't even made a move.

It seemed the other party was angry, and she didn't want to escalate matters.

Who told the Treasure Pavilion to have a Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator?

"Fellow Daoist Lu, you are joking!"

"How would I dare to act presumptuously in the Treasure Pavilion?"

"I was just a bit impatient after seeing the Barrier-Breaking Pill!"

The Elder surnamed Lu let out a cold snort: "I should hope you wouldn't dare!"

Then, he withdrew his Nascent Soul Stage pressure, and the hall immediately became quiet and obedient.

Gu Changan also kept his head slightly lowered, not daring to breathe, and kept glancing at the private room on the top floor.

These Nascent Soul Ancestors were truly terrifying!

The bidding continued, but only about five or six people were making offers.

It seemed that there were at most no more than 10 Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators here.

As it turned out, their bidding was stingy, no different from ordinary Golden Core Stage Cultivators.

"10.1 million Spirit Stones!"

"10.2 million Spirit Stones!"

"10.3 million Spirit Stones!"

Gu Changan somewhat doubted if he had misheard.

Shouldn't Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators throw money around lavishly?

Or was it that the Spiritual Qi in this world was thin?

And that was why Spirit Stones were so scarce?

Or perhaps, the Spirit Stones left over from the past, or the Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, had all been used up?

Gu Changan pondered this, but had no definite answer.

Over there, after several rounds of bidding, the auction finally reached 12 million Spirit Stones.

Gu Changan gasped. If treasures of the Golden Core Stage were already worth over a million Spirit Stones, then it was understandable that treasures of the Nascent Soul Stage would be worth over ten million.

Wouldn't he be rich?

If he could directly copy Nascent Soul Stage treasures, each worth ten million Spirit Stones?

Just thinking about it was delightful!

But who would he sell them to?

As long as you had one, you might keep it on your person.

After all, a Nascent Soul Ancestor's Divine Sense would sweep over, and they would just slap you to death and snatch it away!

How would it ever be your turn to sell it?

Thinking about it suddenly felt terrifying!

However, shouldn't transactions between Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators be based on bartering?

Or was it that the treasures at the auction were deliberately brought out by the Treasure Pavilion to demonstrate its resources and Aura?

Thinking it over, this was the only reasonable explanation.

Fairy You Lan on the stage personally brought out another tray, on which sat an object one inch tall.

After lifting the red cloth, it turned out to be a small black bell.

The edges of the small bell revealed a brass color; it looked like its material was metal!

This small bell was not oval-shaped, but a square, elongated shape.

There was a ring on top, tied with a red ribbon.

The bell body below had four sides, and the side directly facing him had a ghost covered in fangs.

It had three horns on its head and was glaring angrily.

One hand held an axe, and the other hand held a fork.

Gu Changan was still pondering the use of this Magic Treasure.

Fairy You Lan on the stage began to introduce it: "Esteemed Ancestors! The name of this auction item is the Soul-Chasing Bell!"

"A Spirit Treasure specifically targeting the Divine Soul!"

"Once a Nascent Soul Ancestor activates it, the opponent cannot escape."

"Unless the opponent has means to defend their Soul, otherwise their Divine Soul will be directly injured."

"However, this treasure is a remnant from the past."

"After several major battles, the artifact spirit inside was injured and fell into a deep sleep."

"There are currently no signs of it waking up!"

"But that does not prevent it from being a Spirit Treasure!"

"I believe that after you esteemed Ancestors bid for it and take it back, you will nurture it well!"

"Perhaps it can even restore its former glory!"

Gu Changan, however, thought to himself: "So that's it!"

"It's an injured Spirit Treasure!"

"No wonder, since Spirit Treasures have spirits, how could they be easily auctioned?"

"Besides, most Spirit Treasures recognize their masters!"

"But how much would such a Spirit Treasure be worth?"

"And also, a soul defense magical artifact?"

"I have one!"

"The eternal soul lamp! But it seems I forgot to perform the Spirit Awakening!"

"I'll do it when I have time later!"

"Anyway, as long as it's done before forming the Golden Core, it's fine."

"At that time, it will directly undergo the Heavenly Tribulation and evolve into a Spirit Treasure!"

Among those present who shared the same concern were Nascent Soul Ancestors; one of them, with an aged voice, asked: "Are you certain that nurturing it can heal the artifact spirit's injuries?"

Fairy You Lan nodded confidently!

That voice continued: "Then do you know how long it needs to be nurtured?"

"10 years? 20 years?"

"Or 100 years?"

Fairy You Lan was stunned for a moment, then explained: "I dare not make any guarantees here!"

"But there is a possibility, isn't there?"

The voice asked again: "Then what is the starting price?"

Fairy You Lan quickly turned her head to look at the backstage area, but she received no instructions!

She had no choice but to bite the bullet and report the pre-set price: "10 million Spirit Stones!"

The voice had a hint of anger: "What is the difference between a Spirit Treasure without an artifact spirit and a Magic Treasure?"

"And it still costs 10 million Spirit Stones?"

Fairy You Lan couldn't explain anything!

After all, what they said was reasonable; it was the price set by those above, what did it have to do with her?

Gu Changan realized the key point; the Treasure Pavilion must be using the Soul-Chasing Bell as bait!

Whether you bid or not is one thing!

Whether others have it is another thing!

Just tell me if there are Nascent Soul Stage items or not!

However, if he obtained this Soul-Chasing Bell and used his own Spirit Awakening method, would a new artifact spirit be produced after imbuing it?

Or would it help the original artifact spirit recover from its injuries?

His own Spirit Awakening method gathered the spirituality within the Magic Treasure.

Then, for this damaged Spirit Treasure, the spirituality had already been produced.

Then it was highly likely that it would heal the artifact spirit's injuries!

The voice over there snorted coldly and fell silent, and the other Nascent Soul Ancestors also fell silent and did not bid.

In their view, this damaged Spirit Treasure might not be worth 10 million Spirit Stones at all.

Just like that, the Soul-Chasing Bell failed to sell!

But Fairy You Lan on the stage was not surprised and casually placed the Soul-Chasing Bell back on the tray.

It seemed this wasn't the first time an item had failed to sell!

Gu Changan instantly thought of this situation.

Fairy You Lan picked up the last tray, which revealed a purple Jade Slip.

"Next is the final auction item!"

"This is a Cultivation Technique, a Cultivation Technique that reaches the Nascent Soul Stage, 'True Explanation of Spirit Control'!"

"It was the treasure of the Beast Taming Sect in the ancient times, but many parts were lost over time."

"The 'True Explanation of Spirit Control' I have in my hand now is only an Incomplete Manual, but it can still be cultivated directly to the Nascent Soul Stage!~"

"Therefore, its value is immeasurable!"
