Chronicles of Celestial Origins

"I know that there must be many fellow Taoists who want to buy my Dragon Scale Grass, but I declare in advance that I do not need spiritual stones and only accept one thing in exchange. Fellow Taoists, if you have diamond essence, please come to the stage. I I am willing to exchange this pearl dragon scale grass for a pound of diamond essence." As the man spoke, the slightly agitated crowd below fell silent.

Diamond is an extremely hard mineral. Whether it is a spiritual weapon or a magic weapon, adding this mineral will greatly enhance its hardness. It is widely loved by weapon refiners in the spiritual world.

The essence of diamond is the essence of diamond. Everything in the world has spirit, including every flower, every grass, every stone and every tree.

Among the billions of species, there are some that are transcendent from the same kind. They are illuminated by the essence of the sun and moon, breathe the spiritual power of heaven and earth, and over time, at a special moment, they themselves also develop spirituality.

Spirituality is not a coma. They have no intelligence, no perception, no thoughts. They are simply spiritual and can absorb the aura of heaven and earth.

If these spiritual beings continue to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, and the spiritual power of heaven and earth, after long and endless years, they may one day be able to generate thoughts and evolve into spiritual beings. At that time, they can also embark on the path of spiritual practice. The essence of diamond refers to The spiritual diamond.

It is generally used for the refining and extraction of magic weapons to improve certain properties of the magic weapon. In addition to diamond essence, there are also iron essence, silver essence and gold essence, which are all commonly used for refining and extracting magic weapons. Each material has different functions. same.

If the essence of these ore materials is added to a spiritual weapon, the power can be immediately improved to a higher level, but basically no one will do this. It is too wasteful. Good steel must be used in steel blades. Every weapon refiner cherishes it. Hard-to-find rare materials.

Just like refining elixirs, if you use Millennium Dragon Scale Grass to refine ordinary vitality elixirs, isn't that unhealthy?

"Fellow Taoist, I don't have the diamond essence, but I sincerely want the pearl dragon scale grass in your hand. Please take a look at this thing." A man jumped to the stage, turned out a jade box and handed it to the man: "I will exchange this thing for you. The dragon scale grass is more than enough, and its value is only higher than a pound of diamond essence. I don’t need you to subsidize any other spiritual stones. If you are willing, we can exchange it.”

The man took the jade box and opened the lid and took a look. His eyes narrowed, and then he frowned, as if he was thinking and hesitating. After a while, he returned the jade box to the man: "The items in your box are rare, but I only want diamonds." The essence, nothing else is needed.”

The man said anxiously: "Fellow Taoist, please think again."

"No need, I have made up my mind. If fellow Taoist can exchange this item for diamond essence, come and see me again!"

The man sighed and jumped off the stage unwillingly.

No one came on stage for a long time. The old man surnamed Yan said: "I'm counting down the tens. If no one comes on stage, the bidding for this item will be over."

No one came on stage until he finished counting.

"Fellow Taoist, please! Thousand-year-old dragon scale grass is a rare thing, but diamond essence is not an easy commodity, especially in this Xingang, there is no diamond production, how can you get diamond essence? If you want to get this treasure, ordinary square It’s definitely not available in the city’s shops, and even if it is, it won’t be sold in the city’s shops. You may have to go to other islands to participate in larger auctions.”

The man gave a wry smile, knowing that what the old man said was the truth and that he was just trying his luck. He immediately put away the wooden box and retreated off the stage.

As soon as he stepped back, another person jumped up, turned out a three-foot-long wooden box in his hand, and shouted: "The small Five Elements Array is for sale, the price is 80,000, the highest bidder will get it."

The Small Five Elements Formation is an attack magic formation, modified from the Big Five Elements Formation. Once a monk enters the formation, he will be attacked by the power of the Five Elements within the formation. As a second-level magic formation, its power corresponds to the foundation-building period of the human race.

If the foundation-building monks rush in without knowing their skills, they may not be able to escape unscathed.

Most of the formations on the market today focus on defense, with fewer attack formations. Because the refining difficulty of attack formations is much higher than that of defensive formations, the daily spiritual stone consumption is also much greater than that of defensive formations.

Therefore, all the mountain-protecting formations of Xuanmen sects are all defensive formations. This does not mean that defensive formations are more popular than attack formations.

But it depends on the audience. Generally, those who buy formations are organizations with strong backgrounds, whether they are sects, aristocratic families, or chambers of commerce. What’s the point of setting up an attack formation in your own home? Attack your disciples? Obviously unreasonable.

Attack formations are generally used in private households. For example, a casual cultivator who practices alone would set up a formation in a cave to warn others from entering, so as to prevent others from prying into their caves when they go out. However, these people generally have little financial resources and cannot even practice on their own. It is difficult to maintain the elixirs, let alone spend such a large amount of spiritual stones to buy any formations.

The price of 80,000 yuan is considered a fair price based on the power of the small five-element formation. However, most of the foundation-building monks in Xingang have sect backgrounds and have no use for this thing. It is also difficult for a small number of casual cultivators to obtain large sums of spiritual stones. Buy something like this.

The man waited for a long time, no one shouted the price, the old man began to count down, and when he counted to three, someone stood up, jumped to the stage and said: "I don't have 80,000. If my fellow Taoist is willing, I will give 70,000 spiritual stones." Buy this small Five Elements Formation.”

The man hesitated for a moment, then finally agreed, and the two completed the deal and left.

Immediately afterwards, several more people came up to the stage and took out their rare things, either selling spiritual stones or bartering for things. Tang Ning saw that there were fewer and fewer people in the hall and couldn't sit still. After one of them stepped down, he stood up. He jumped up to the stage and said: "Everyone, I would like to buy a first-level spirit beast. There is no restriction on the type. It can be either low or medium grade. I don't know which fellow Taoist in the audience has this thing in his hands. The price can be easily negotiated."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man surnamed Yan stepped forward and interrupted, "This fellow Taoist is participating in the auction of this city!" Tang Ning nodded, not knowing what he meant. "It was my negligence that I didn't explain it clearly just now. In this free auction, the person who comes on stage must have an object to participate in the auction. If the fellow Taoist is just looking to buy, please wait under the stage. If the other fellow Taoists have this object to trade, the fellow Taoists can come on stage to bid." Tang Ning was stunned. It turned out that there was such a rule. He thought that free auctions were just buying and selling at will. He immediately took out a black and shiny human-shaped puppet from the storage bag. The puppet was about four or five feet tall, with clear corners, a nose and eyes on the face, and it was lifelike. The whole body was black and translucent. It was obvious that the person who made this puppet was very skilled, and even the details of the appearance were taken into consideration very exquisitely. This object was one of the three puppets he picked up in Jingping Mountains. At that time, he thought that if he found someone who knew the goods and was proficient in this way, this puppet should be able to sell for a good price. Originally, he didn't want to trade it at the auction, because he didn't wear a hat and mask, and was afraid of being recognized. After all, this puppet was left by the leader of the Jiangdong branch. If there was someone in the hall who knew it, wouldn't it be asking for trouble?

Now, in order to buy a spiritual beast, he didn't care about so many things. Besides, isn't this place a perfect selling platform? Even if someone is targeted, no one dares to do anything to him in the market.

He knows nothing about puppets, and doesn't know how much this thing is worth. He took it out here and let them bid against each other, and he waited for the price to sell it, so that he could find out the value of this thing.

He has two more puppets in his storage bag.

"A second-level puppet, with strength comparable to that of a foundation-building cultivator. The whole puppet is intact, but the spiritual power is exhausted. Buy it back and refine it again before using it. The starting price is 30,000 spiritual stones, and the highest bidder wins. In addition, I want to buy a first-level spiritual beast." Tang Ning said, looking at the old man: "Is this okay?"

The old man nodded.

Tang Ning didn't know how much a second-level puppet cost, but he thought that it was comparable to the combat power of a foundation-building cultivator, so it couldn't be worth even 30,000 spirit stones! So he opened the reserve price.

As soon as he finished speaking, a man jumped from the stage. He was wearing a bamboo hat and was fat. He said, "I want 30,000 spirit stones."

He took out a storage bag and looked very anxious.

Tang Ning was a little stunned. Just as he was about to take the storage bag, a man below shouted, "Wait a minute." Before he finished speaking, he flew onto the stage and said, "I'm willing to pay 40,000 spirit stones."

He raised the price by 10,000 spirit stones in one breath.

"Hehehe, you want to get a second-level puppet for 40,000? I'll pay 50,000." Another man laughed sinisterly twice and jumped onto the stage.

In the blink of an eye, three people joined the auction. Even if Tang Ning was stupid, he understood that his offer was too low. No wonder the fat man looked so impatient.

"I'll bid 60,000."

The three of them bid again, raising the price to 60,000.

"70,000." The fat man who bid earlier said, "If you two want to raise the price, I'll withdraw immediately."

Obviously, this price has exceeded his psychological price, and he called out a high price.

The market price of a second-level puppet is between 50,000 and 60,000, but this thing is a kind of thing that has a price but no market in Xingang. Many foundation-building monks in the Corpse Puppet Sect can refine second-level puppet corpses, but there are very few who can refine second-level puppets.

The fat monk wanted to refine a second-level puppet, but he had never succeeded. If he could get a complete puppet for himself to disassemble and refine, it would be of great benefit to his refining skills.

So he called out a high price of 70,000.

"I can't offer 70,000 Spirit Stones. 60,000 is the highest price I can offer. But I have this thing. Please take a look at it." The sneering man said, handing a Spirit Beast bag to Tang Ning. "Didn't you say you wanted to buy a first-class Spirit Beast? This Wind-Splitting Wolf is a first-class mid-grade Spirit Beast, which meets your requirements. If you are willing, you can exchange 60,000 Spirit Stones and this Wind-Splitting Wolf for this puppet."
