The stir this batch of mid-second-rank talismans caused was far greater than the previous batch of low-second-rank talismans.
After all, the second-rank low-grade talismans were ultimately corresponding to the early Foundation Establishment Realm. Although there were quite a few, the threat to the great factions was ultimately limited.
But mid-second-rank talismans were different!
Even those at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, or even the faux Core Formation stage, would have to keep a certain distance in the face of the power of twenty mid-second-rank attack talismans.
Otherwise, they faced the real possibility of flipping the canoe in the gutter!
“Take it down!”
Many heads of cultivator families muttered under their breath, their eves focusing, staring at the thick stack of mid-second-rank talismans on stage and feeling the chilling energy emitted from them – making their scalps tingle and their voices shake. They were determined to take it down. “Three hundred medium-grade Spirit Stones!”
“Three hundred and fifty medium-grade Spirit Stones!”
One after another, the high-level cultivators on the second and third floors bid, driving the price up.
It wasn’t until the price soared to six hundred and twenty medium-grade Spirit Stones that the bidding finally stopped.
Su Yu was taken aback by this price. The market price of a single mid-second-rank talisman was only about five hundred inferior-grade Spirit Stones, and fifty of them would cost twenty-five thousand inferior-grade Spirit Stones in the real market.
This is equivalent to two hundred and fifty medium-grade Spirit Stones.
However, the actual auction price had reached six hundred and twenty medium-grade Spirit Stones, equivalent to a staggering sixty-two thousand inferior-grade Spirit Stones!
That’s a single item price of more than twelve hundred inferior-grade Spirit Stones!
Su Yu exclaimed internally: “They’re insane!”
The fifty mid-second-rank talismans were taken by Li Family, a major Beast Taming faction.
With the Spirit Stones received from the auction of the low-second-rank puppet beast and low-second-rank talismans, Su Yu had already accumulated a huge sum of forty-three thousand inferior-grade Spirit Stones and one thousand one hundred and seventy medium-grade Spirit Stones in this auction.
In the private room, upon seeing the final bidding price of the mid-second-rank talismans, Yu Baishan’s face went through a variety of changes and muttered, “Pure madness.”
“They went to such lengths to buy fifty talismans, didn’t they want to bid for Haotian Pill?”
Many people in the third level private rooms frowned slightly, but soon a smile appeared on their faces.
“Forget it, let Li Family have it.”
Although they failed to capture these fifty mid-second-rank talismans, it was good enough to have depleted the Li Family’s Spirit Stones.
Such an invisible competitor could basically announce their withdrawal.
Pretty good.
The auction continued.
One after another, Taoist Hong’er brought out treasures, some of which Su Yu needed. He had his puppet avatar make bids and won several items, including high-quality materials for second-rank pills, second-rank talismans, and second -rank puppet beasts.
Until Taoist Hong’er brought out a jade slip, saying: “This is a Cultivation
Technique from the ruins of the ancient celestial door, Tianfeng Palace, called Xuanming Thick Earth Technique, which can be cultivated up to the ninth level of the Core Formation stage. It is an earth attribute Cultivation Technique.”
“Although this Cultivation Technique is difficult to practice, it is a top-notch method with no restrictions.”
“The starting price is three thousand inferior-grade Spirit Stones, and each bid must not be less than five hundred inferior-grade Spirit Stones. Please place your bids.”
In his private room, Su Yu’s hand quivered slightly, feeling both ecstatic and somewhat incredulous.
The continuation of the Xuanming Thick Earth Technique, which he had been searching for so long, had surprisingly appeared in this auction!
At the same time, many other cultivators in the auction house got thrilled and were a bit excited to hear about the earth attribute Cultivation Technique that could cultivate to the ninth level of the Core Formation Realm. Core Formation stage Cultivation Techniques, like Foundation Establishment pills and Gold Yuan pills, are almost monopolized by the major factions.
It is quite challenging for ordinary cultivator families and Loose Cultivators to get hold of the upper-level Cultivation Techniques.
This is one of the techniques employed by major powers to inhibit top-tier cultivators.
It’s a major barrier!
Previously, Su Zhi in the Yunjian Sect only broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage after getting a chance in the ruins of Tianfeng Palace. But before that, she only had Cultivation Techniques of the Foundation Establishment stage.
To get a Cultivation Technique of the Core Formation stage, one had to trade it with Contribution Values of the sect.
This was still a privilege for members of major factions like the Yunjian Sect. How could ordinary cultivators have access to Cultivation Techniques of Foundation Establishment and Core Formation stages?
The road to immortality is tortuous, and the path to longevity is littered with the corpses of countless ascetics. It’s not just a saying! “Three thousand inferior-grade Spirit Stones!”
“I bid three thousand five hundred!”
“I offer four thousand!”
In an instant, the price of the Xuanming Thick Earth Technique that could be practiced up to the ninth level of the Core Formation stage soared to five thousand inferior-grade Spirit Stones, and the bidding intensified.
At this price, the faces of the Loose Cultivators and ordinary cultivator families in the first floor looked quite bad. They cursed quietly, looked bitter, gritted their teeth in secret, and chose to give up.
Only those in the private rooms on the second and third floors continued to
bid, pushing the price up.
Only when the price could no longer rise, Su Yu finally made a move. After raising the bid twice, he secured the Xuanming Thick Earth Technique, which included the post-requisite practices of the Core Formation stage, for eight thousand five hundred inferior-grade Spirit Stones.
Looking at Su Yu, Yu Baishan curiously asked: “Do you cultivate this Xuanming Thick Earth Technique with your earth spiritual root?”
After letting out a sigh of relief, Su Yu smiled and nodded: “When I was in the Bai Yue Immortal City, I got the early part of this Xuanming Thick Earth Technique, for the levels below the fourth of the Foundation Establishment stage, at an auction. I’ve been looking for its continuation for a while.”
“Fortunately, it didn’t delay my cultivation. Now, I have finally found and secured it..”
