Starting Liver Proficiency from Alchemy
Chapter 757: Wanming Arm Guard, Life Seed Stealing
Behind Yutian Pavilion, in the auction hall, when the female cultivator presiding over the auction emitted a flash of light and revealed the second auction item, Han Yi was suddenly startled and his eyes suddenly widened.
In front of him, in the light curtain on the wall, a piece of tattered arm armor emerged as the spiritual light floated. Han Yi had never seen this arm armor before, but the aura on it was the same as that of the Wan Ming Book.
If he blocked his sight and only observed the aura, he would mistakenly think that this was a weakened version of the Book of Ten Thousand Darknesses.
"Something from Wanming City!" Han Yi was certain.
really.
The female cultivator who presided over the auction slowly explained: "This item comes from the ancient underworld Dao domain, millions of years ago, the overlord-level force in the Dao domain, Wanming City."
"This arm armor should be part of an ancient Tianzun artifact. Although it is incomplete and has lost all its spirituality, the material is excellent. After being repaired, it can reach the peak level of the Dao level. In addition, Daoists who are familiar with Wanming City should know that all the things in Wanming City are of the same origin. Therefore, the research price of this arm armor is also extremely high."
"Starting price: 300 million Dao crystals. Each bid increase must not be less than 20 million Dao crystals."
Before this, although Han Yi had heard Taoist Suyin mention that there would be broken ancient artifacts of Tianzun appearing at this auction, he never expected that the first broken ancient artifact of Tianzun he saw would actually be related to himself.
of course.
Strictly speaking, this arm armor cannot be considered a broken ancient artifact of the Heavenly Lord, because it is only a small part of a complete set of armor, and its spirituality has been completely lost. Its value lies only in its material and research value.
It is precisely because of this that its price is so low, and the starting price is only the level of a slightly better high-end Taoist weapon.
Han Yi did not bid immediately, but waited for two breaths before joining in the bidding, and the speed at which his bid increased was not fast. After all, this was only the second item to be auctioned, and it did not have much practical effect, so not many people participated in the auction.
When the bid was raised to 630 million, no one followed up. After three breaths without anyone bidding, the presiding female cultivator announced the end of this round of bidding, and Han Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If it were someone else, they would naturally think twice about bidding 630 million Dao Crystals for something that has little practical use. But it is different for Han Yi. This is something that belongs to Wanming City. Perhaps this arm armor is the armor of a deputy city lord. He possesses the supreme inheritance of Wanming City, the Wanming Book. Through the Wanming Book, he may be able to develop unexpected uses.
In the light curtain on the wall, a cultivator took the jade box away, and another cultivator brought up a third jade box. The presiding female cultivator touched it again, and the spiritual light reappeared. This time, it was a golden tripod.
Han Yi just glanced at the introduction of the tripod and stopped paying attention to it. At the same time, there was a knock on his door and a shopkeeper pushed it open and walked in.
This shopkeeper was only a shopkeeper at the first step of the Dao realm. He respectfully placed the jade box in front of Han Yi. Han Yi then put the 630 million Dao crystals that needed to be paid into a Qiankun space and gave it to this Dao realm cultivator.
After the Taoist monk went down, he couldn't wait to open the jade box. The jade box didn't look big from the outside, but the internal space was not small. An arm armor about half a meter long was placed inside.
The arm armor was pitch black and looked quite tattered on the surface. The edges at both ends were not smooth and slightly damaged.
Han Yi did not take it out, but took a deep breath and put it away patiently. This was not the place to check the arm armor. Not only because this was Yutian Pavilion and there might be secret surveillance, he did not fully trust this place.
Moreover, because the main body of the Wan Ming Book was in the Fu Heng Dao Domain, separated by a Dao Domain, Han Yi was unable to sense the Wan Ming Book and could not use the power of the Wan Ming Book to inspect the arm armor.
Therefore, the best time to check this arm armor is after returning to Fuheng Dao Realm, or even returning to the ancient world.
After putting away the arm armor, he continued to watch the auction.
The third auction item was a three-legged golden tripod, which was auctioned for 890 million Dao crystals, and the fourth auction item was a bottle of strange liquid with special effects, which was auctioned for a high price of 1.36 billion. This bottle of strange liquid was called Chanting Dao Strange Liquid, and it could increase the probability of a Daluo Immortal breaking through to the Dao realm by 50%.
Don’t underestimate this 50% probability. A Daluo breakthrough to the Dao realm is enlightenment, which is the most important transformation for a cultivator.
Even the Heavenly Venerable could not easily help a Daluo cultivator break through to the realm of enlightenment, but this miraculous liquid could increase the probability of successful enlightenment. It was inevitable that it would cause a scramble. Even Han Yi raised the price several times, but he stopped after it exceeded 1 billion.
The Dao Crystals he originally had, in addition to the more than 1.1 billion Dao Crystals left after purchasing the Dao Sword last time, actually also included a large amount of Dao Crystals he obtained from the many incarnations of Wan Ming. That amount of Dao Crystals was about 3.7 billion.
After buying the arm armor just now, he now has 4.2 billion Dao realm points left.
He would not sell this Dao Crystal casually unless it was necessary, but would wait for the Source Crystal to appear before auctioning it.
As time went by, one item after another was placed on the auction table and was quickly sold off.
Han Yi was not impatient. This auction would last for three days and he had enough patience to wait. Moreover, even if no source crystals appeared in this auction, he could wait for the next auction.
What surprised him was that eight hours, or half a day later, the source crystal he had been waiting for actually appeared on the auction table.
"Next, we will auction off a batch of source crystals. This batch of source crystals will be auctioned in ten batches. The first auction will be held now."
"Starting price: 1 billion Dao crystals, each bid increase shall not be less than 100 million Dao crystals."
In the room, Han Yi's heart suddenly skipped a beat and he stared at the light curtain. Through the light curtain, he saw three prismatic crystals in the spiritual light. These three crystals were light yellow in color and gave off an alluring scent.
Han Yi took a look at the panel and found that there was no prompt for the discovery of the life seed. He couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
If he could absorb the source crystals remotely, he would absorb them remotely after the source crystals were auctioned, thus achieving true "freeloading".
But unfortunately, the jade box containing the source crystal has a powerful isolation effect, and even the panel cannot absorb it through the air.
As the presiding female cultivator's voice fell, bids began to pop up one after another on the light curtain. These were bids from the cultivators in other rooms. Judging from the frequency of these pop-up bids, most of the cultivators could not wait and joined the bidding.
Han Yi was no exception. He quoted several prices one after another, but they were then covered by new quotations.
After a full minute, the bidding for the three source crystals gradually slowed down. After another ten breaths, no new bids appeared, and the final bid was fixed at 5.2 billion. In the room, Han Yi shook his head slightly. The final price was obviously a serious premium.
He was not impatient. The female monk in charge just said that the auction would be divided into batches. There were nine more batches to go and the bids should gradually return to rationality. He was not without a chance.
really.
The second batch of source crystals also consisted of three yellow prismatic crystals. This time, the frequency of the bids was relatively slow, and the transaction price was fixed at 4.2 billion.
Next, the third batch, the fourth batch...
In the fifth batch, Han Yi decisively went all out and won three source crystals at a high price of 3.9 billion. When it was finally confirmed that he had won, he finally let go of his worry.
He didn't dare wait until the next few elections because he didn't want to bet on whether the prices would become more rational or crazier. Therefore, locking in profits was what made him feel most at ease.
The price of 3.9 billion was used to win three source crystals. This price was quite high. Even for someone in the Hedao realm, it was too expensive to afford.
However, Dao Crystals do not have much effect on Han Yi, while Source Crystals can be transformed into Life Seeds to improve his cultivation, realm, Daoist arts, etc., which is what he urgently needs.
Next, the price of the sixth batch dropped by another 300 million, and only 3.6 billion was auctioned off. The price of the seventh batch rose to 3.8 billion, the ninth batch returned to 4 billion, and the tenth batch continued to 4 billion.
For Han Yi, if he waited until the sixth batch, he could save 300 million Dao Crystals, but he did not regret it.
For the next few batches, he just watched from the sidelines, because he only had more than 300 million Dao Crystals left, which was far from enough to support him to join the auction.
After all ten batches of Dao Crystals were auctioned, the ten shopkeepers delivered the Dao Crystals with the corresponding batch numbers to the rooms of the auction winners. Han Yi also received the second jade box.
After he paid the source crystal, he did not open the jade box immediately, but quickly put it into his divine world. Then, he looked straight ahead. Although his face was calm, he was already nervous in his heart.
Suddenly, the change he had been expecting and anticipating occurred, and his eyes shone with a fiery light.
At this moment, a line of text popped up on his retina and the panel.
"You found the life seed, do you want to absorb it?"
When the female cultivator in charge placed the jade box containing the source crystal on the auction table, Han Yi tried to check the panel to see if he could find the life seed and absorb it through the air. At that time, he found that it didn't work, so he guessed that it must be the special effect of the jade box that prevented the life seed from dissipating.
At that time, Han Yi anticipated another scenario, that is, if other cultivators auctioned the source crystal, they would definitely open the jade box. Once the jade box was opened, the isolation and detection effects of these rooms, although very strong, would definitely not be as good as the jade box specially made for the Yutian Pavilion. In this case, with the help of the panel, he would most likely be able to directly discover the life seed.
And he has already decided that if he finds the life seed, he will absorb it quickly.
At this moment, the expected changes finally appeared. Han Yi almost didn't think twice. After this line of text popped up, he quickly responded in his heart: "Absorb."
In an instant, the 134681 units of life seeds on his panel slightly moved, began to change, and grew upwards.
At the same time that his life seeds were increasing, in a room not far from him, a cultivator in the Hedao realm was staring intently at three yellow prismatic crystals that he had just taken out of a jade box. The light yellow luster emitted by these three crystals was the most dazzling color in the world in his eyes.
But soon, his expression changed slightly, because he keenly noticed that the original aura inside these three source crystals began to gradually decrease.
As a great cultivator in the Hedao realm, his thoughts were extremely quick. He quickly used the Taoist sealing technique to seal the Source Crystal, but it still could not stop the loss. He put it back into the Taoist realm in his body, but it was still the same. Just before he thought that there was something wrong with the batch of Source Crystals auctioned by Yutian Pavilion, he tried to put it back into the jade box and covered it with the lid. After a few breaths, he opened the jade box again and found that the original aura of the Source Crystal had not weakened during this process.
"No, the source crystal should be fine. The problem is the environment here. Something is stealing the energy of the source crystal using means I don't know about."
"It's not suitable to stay here for long."
As a cultivator in the Hedao realm, his judgment was extremely accurate. Moreover, he did not immediately go to the Yutian Pavilion to seek justice, because doing so would only lead to him being expelled from the Yutian Pavilion. You must know that there is a Tianzun in the Yutian Pavilion, and if he is determined to be causing trouble, Tianzun will take action and completely wipe him out with just one blow.
After determining that there was something wrong with the surrounding environment and finding no clues, he quickly took the jade box and left, escaping from the Yutian Pavilion. After escaping for a long distance, at a high altitude, he opened the jade box again and found that the previous situation did not occur, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sure enough, my judgment was correct."
"However, there is a way to steal the source energy in the source crystal from a distance. It is incredible. I have never heard of it."
This cultivator in the Hedao realm left quickly, holding the jade box.
At the auction behind the Yutian Pavilion, there were several other cultivators who had opened the jade box and had the same experience as this cultivator. These cultivators also quickly determined what the problem was, and were quite decisive whether they closed the jade box or left the auction.
Of course, there were also cultivators who went directly to Yutian Pavilion and asked for an explanation.
In a certain room, Han Yi absorbed the life seeds intermittently. When all connections were completely severed and he could no longer absorb, the life seeds he obtained were only more than two thousand units.
He shook his head slightly, feeling quite regretful, but he also knew that in Yutian Pavilion, this was the limit of what he could "steal". Others in the Hedao realm were not fools either, and it was impossible for them to just let their life seeds slip away. They would definitely react quickly, and the simplest way was to put it back into the jade box.
Therefore, he also anticipated that the life seeds he could absorb would be extremely limited, but he would absorb as much as he could. This feeling of "getting something for free" was quite good.
Although this small disturbance lasted for a short time, the fact that there were cultivators in the Hedao realm demanding an explanation from the Yutian Pavilion still attracted the attention of several deputy pavilion masters of the Yutian Pavilion. These deputy pavilion masters were all in the Hedao realm, and they quietly launched an investigation, and even directly used an ancient artifact of the Heavenly Venerable in the pavilion to investigate and trace, but in the end, there was no clue at all, and even these deputy pavilion masters in the Hedao realm began to wonder if there was really something wrong with the batch of Dao crystals being auctioned.
The instigator of all this, when he sensed a hidden wave sweeping over him, leaving without stopping, couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
"Sure enough, there are still risks if you act rashly and absorb the life seed. Fortunately, the panel is extremely mysterious, far beyond the ancient artifacts of the Heavenly Lord, and it is impossible to detect it." (End of this chapter)
