69: A low-grade soul-suppressing artifact, the Mystic Soul Tower!

"One hundred and twenty thousand Spirit Stones!"

Su Ling raised his number plate and shouted with composure.

Seventy thousand Spirit Stones in stock, plus six hundred second-tier talismans.

This was his bottom line.

If he brought out too many Talismans, it would inevitably reveal his characteristic of having an excessively high success rate.

If that attracted the greed of certain people, he would rather give up on this Lightning Falcon essence blood.

However, as soon as the price of one hundred and twenty thousand was announced, many people who were eager to move put down their number plates.

"One hundred and twenty thousand once. Are there any other Fellow Daoists who want to increase the bid?"

The jade hammer in Xuan Jian's hand hung without falling as he looked around. "This is the essence blood of a fourth-tier Lightning Falcon. If you miss it this time, who knows when you'll find it again!"

Seeing this posture, Su Ling gritted his teeth, wishing he could fly forward and help him smash the jade hammer down.

"One hundred and twenty thousand twice. Do you Fellow Daoists really want to give up? This price is truly not high!"

Xuan Jian's words were full of egging on, with a hint of provocation.

Unfortunately, still no one raised their plate.

It seemed that among the Cultivators present, there was no one who truly needed lightning-attribute essence blood.

"Alright, one hundred and twenty thousand for the third..."

Xuan Jian sighed slightly with a look of regret, and was about to swing the jade hammer down.

Su Ling's heart also relaxed, but in the next second, his expression turned ugly.

A charming female voice echoed through the hall, "One hundred and fifty thousand Spirit Stones!"

"One hundred and fifty thousand Spirit Stones!"

The corners of Xuan Jian's mouth curled up slightly as he spoke loudly, "This Fellow Daoist bids one hundred and fifty thousand Spirit Stones. Is there anyone else who wants to increase the bid? That Fellow Daoist from earlier, opportunity knocks but once. This humble Daoist believes that one hundred and sixty thousand Spirit Stones can definitely take this Lightning Falcon essence blood!"

Su Ling shook his head and put down the number plate in his hand.

The one who just bid was Yu Yao!

One hundred and sixty thousand Spirit Stones was sixty thousand more than the essence blood of the Fire-Fluff Three-Tailed Fox.

Although the Core Formation and Nascent Soul Cultivators were wealthy, they wouldn't waste money on something useless to them.

Moreover, the normal price for Lightning Falcon essence blood was only around one hundred thousand.

No one increased the bid. Xuan Jian was somewhat disappointed, but finally let the jade hammer fall.

The jade bottle flew towards the sixth floor and vanished into the formation.

"Tsk tsk, these Loose Cultivators were fighting over it, and I thought it contained a trace of Green Thunder Roc Bloodline. Turns out it's just ordinary fourth-tier essence blood."

"The Myriad Treasures Pavilion has a resounding reputation; how could they be mistaken? Girl Yao, stop causing trouble and sit down!"

Two undisguised voices came from the private box, not caring at all about spending so many Spirit Stones to buy a bottle of ordinary essence blood.

There were whispers in the hall, and the eyes of many Loose Cultivators looking at the sixth-floor private box carried a hint of awe.

"The Liu Family, huh..."

The discussion reached his ears, and Su Ling finally understood where this Yu Yao came from.

The Liu Family of Langhuang Island, a Family with a Nascent Soul Stage Expert presiding over it, primarily practicing wood and poison attribute Cultivation Techniques.

The Family's strength was comparable to Ice Cloud Valley, and both were under the command of Thousand Star City.

Although the Lightning Falcon essence blood was important, it wasn't indispensable.

Su Ling adjusted his mindset and leaned back against the chair again.

Over the next two hours, many more treasures suitable for Cultivators at or above the Core Formation Stage appeared.

Among them, three top-grade Magic Treasures caused the Nascent Soul Cultivators in the sixth-floor private boxes to compete for bids.

A set of top-grade battle armor with the most comprehensive functions even drew a Spirit Transformation Cultivator from the seventh floor to take action.

He took it for himself at the price of fifty thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.

Calculated according to the market rate of Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, its value was close to six million Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

Others such as the Qianyuan Pill which reduces the difficulty of forming a Nascent Soul, the Seven-Colored Fetus-Nurturing Lotus, and Thousand-Year Ice Dew.

The Spirit Deity Pill that accelerates the speed of a Nascent Soul evolving into a Primordial Spirit, Nine-Leaf Heavenly Star Grass, and ten thousand year cold ice marrow, as well as other Medicinal Pills and Spiritual Plants, appeared one after another.

When Su Ling saw that bottle of ten thousand year cold ice marrow, he immediately thought of the ten thousand year jade marrow he had collected in the Cuiye Plane.

To be precise, through the appraisal of the Immortal Eye of Treasure Appraisal, that wasn't ten thousand year jade marrow, but should be called ten thousand year fire spirit marrow.

However, its effects were almost the same as ten thousand year jade marrow.

[ten thousand year fire spirit marrow, born from ten thousand years of condensation in underground fire veins. Can be used for Alchemy and Artifact Refining. Direct absorption can also accelerate the growth of the Primordial Spirit.]

[ten thousand year cold ice marrow, born from ten thousand years of condensation in extremely cold ice caves. Can be used for Alchemy and Artifact Refining. Direct absorption can also accelerate the growth of the Primordial Spirit.]

Treasures like the Qianyuan Pill, suitable for Peak Core Formation Cultivators, were auctioned for prices ranging from over a hundred thousand to several hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

But treasures like the ten thousand year cold ice marrow that promote the transformation from Nascent Soul to Soul Transformation started at a million.

The final selling price was almost about to exceed that Cold Star Sword.

Su Ling was clicking his tongue in wonder; he hadn't expected the value of yin gui fungus and fire spirit marrow to be so high.

Time passed, and the auction gradually reached its end, but not a single Cultivator in the hall left early.

Especially those Loose Cultivators who spent a thousand Spirit Stones to get in; even if they didn't buy anything, it was good to wait until the end to broaden their horizons.

"This Myriad Treasures auction is about to conclude."

Venerable Xuan Jian took a sip of spiritual tea, then straightened his robes and cupped his hands to the very top. "Thank you, Seniors, for waiting. Next, we will auction the final two treasures!"

As his voice fell, a small, gray, simple ancient tower slowly rose from the center of the high platform.

Su Ling's eyes moved slightly, and after three breaths, the Immortal Eye of Treasure Appraisal gave the appraisal feedback.

[Profound Soul Tower, Low Grade Soul-Suppressing spirit tool, possesses functions such as defense and attack, with prominent Soul-Suppressing characteristics.]

The second to last item was actually already a Low Grade Soul-Suppressing spirit tool!

This made Su Ling full of anticipation for the final finale item.

A hint of fanaticism flashed in Venerable Xuan Jian's eyes as he said loudly, "The first item, low-grade spirit tool, Profound Soul Tower!"

"A Spiritual Artifact?!"

"This trip was not in vain, to actually see a Spiritual Artifact emerge!"

"My goodness, this is a rare low-grade spirit tool, and it's not even the finale item?!"

"A low-grade spirit tool! Judging by the name, it's probably an extremely rare Soul-Suppressing Spiritual Artifact!"

"Spirit Transformation Cultivators have incredibly powerful Primordial Spirits, but in battles of the same rank, the Primordial Spirit is also easily injured. If one has a Soul-Suppressing Spiritual Artifact for protection, they could be called invincible!"

"Incredible, this Myriad Treasures Pavilion auction is getting more and more impressive. A Soul-Suppressing Spiritual Artifact isn't even the finale item. Those Soul Transformation Seniors must be going crazy for it!"

The entire auction hall was boiling with noise and excitement.

But Venerable Xuan Jian didn't have the slightest intention of stopping it.

Because many Core Formation and even Nascent Soul Cultivators had already taken out communication jade slips to quickly send the news of the Soul-Suppressing Spiritual Artifact's appearance to their Family or Sect elders.

"Xuan Jian, can we start now?"

A quarter of an hour later, an impatient voice came from a private box on the east side of the seventh floor.

"A quarter of an hour, everyone who could come has arrived. Does the Myriad Treasures Pavilion think we can't produce the Spirit Stones?"

From a private box on the south side, a cold female Soul Transformation voice also came out.

"Please forgive me, Seniors. The auction begins now!"

Xuan Jian bowed respectfully, then stood up to face everyone and said loudly, "Low Grade Soul-Suppressing spirit tool, Profound Soul Tower. Starting price... one hundred thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones!"

There was no need for him to elaborate on the wonders of the Profound Soul Tower.

The two words 'Soul-Suppressing' alone were enough to drive Spirit Transformation Cultivators crazy.

As for other functions, Xuan Jian was confident that once a certain Spirit Transformation Cultivator won the bid, they would definitely be very satisfied.

Spiritual Artifacts were no longer something Cultivators below Soul Transformation could participate in.

"One hundred and fifty thousand!"

Before the words had even finished, the first Spirit Transformation Cultivator to speak directly raised the price by fifty percent!

"Two hundred thousand!"

Following closely behind was that cold-voiced female Soul Transformation.

"Three hundred thousand!"

A faint, aged voice bid from a private box on the north side.

"Four hundred thousand!"

From the west side came a thick voice like a great bronze bell.

In less than five breaths since the start of the bidding, the price of the Profound Soul Tower directly tripled!

At this moment, Spirit Stones seemed like nothing more than rubble in the wilderness.

The atmosphere in the hall soared to its highest point since the opening.
