The Rise of the Cultivation Family

Chapter 346 The Beginning of the Auction
The entire hall suddenly became as quiet as a chicken, and the only sound left was the long breathing of everyone.

The middle-aged man looked around the audience on the auction stage with a smile, slightly raised the amplifying instrument in his hand, and continued: "I am Li Yunhao, the host of this auction of Qianbao Pavilion. Thank you all for coming to support me.

Everyone should know the rules of the auction. I hope you will abide by the rules and bid fairly. The highest bidder will win.

I also hope that all seniors and Taoist friends will get what they want at this auction and get the treasures they want.

Okay, I know that your seniors and Taoist friends have precious time, and you don’t want to listen to my nagging here.

I won’t talk nonsense anymore, so let’s officially start the auction of the first treasure! "

Li Yunhao has not restrained his aura since he appeared. His cultivation is not weak and he has reached the late stage of foundation building.

The trumpet-flower-style amplifying instrument is different from ordinary amplifying stones. Although the sound emitted is not loud, it can be heard by thousands of people in the palace, whether it is the box upstairs or the hall on the first floor. Hearing it clearly, like a whisper, Yun Yongzhu and others felt comfortable in their hearts.

Li Yunhao hung the small trumpet on his chest and said with a smile: "We have the first treasure for you!"

Then he turned his head, stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture, and said, "Send it over!"

Immediately, a graceful and beautiful female nun slowly walked onto the auction stage from the audience holding a box.

The box was covered with a piece of red cloth. Li Yunhao came to the side of the female cultivator and lifted the red cloth covering the box she was holding in her hand. A burst of light flashed, and the hall suddenly lit up.

Li Yunhao took out the treasure from the box. It was a sword-shaped magic weapon. He held it with both hands on the stage and showed it while circling it while introducing it.

"Everyone, please take a look. This is the first auction item brought by the Silver Star Chamber of Commerce, the Changhong Sword. The Changhong Sword is a top-grade flying sword. It is engraved with the "Changhong Penetrating Sun" formation. It has an attack bonus against the enemy. This sword is of high quality. , among the top-grade flying swords, it is also a rare and exquisite product. It is very suitable even for monks in the foundation building stage.

The base price of the Changhong Sword is two hundred spirit stones, and each increase in price must not be less than ten spirit stones. It all depends on your preference as to who will win this flying sword, so start bidding! "

The Changhong Sword is a top-grade magical weapon, and it is also the highest-level magical weapon that monks in the Qi training period can refine and use.

According to Li Yunhao, even if a foundation-building monk uses this magic weapon, it is still suitable.

Therefore, there is no doubt about the power of the Changhong Sword, and the increase in combat power is also huge.

Although this Changhong Sword is not on the list of rare treasures, it is not cheap. It is very rare in ordinary stores. Whenever it appears, it is a treasure or even a treasure in the store.

Therefore, as soon as Li Yunhao finished speaking, there was a monk's price in the hall.

"I'll give you 250 spirit stones!"

Someone in the middle of the crowd was the first to make an offer, adding fifty spirit stones to the base price, obviously hoping to scare off some competitors.

However, his plan failed in the next moment, and the monks made offers one after another, and he was immediately thrown away.

"260 Spirit Stones!"

"I will give out 270!"

……

Seeing everyone in the audience vying to bid, and the quotations were getting higher and higher, Li Yunhao showed joy, and he really thought so. The Changhong Sword was indeed his carefully selected item, not expensive, not cheap, suitable for Qi training and foundation building. The two realms can not only mobilize the enthusiasm of most people for bidding, but also build momentum for the next treasure to appear.

In the fierce competition, the quotation of Changhong Sword has reached 380 spirit stones. At this time, everyone's quotation paused for several breaths. Many people showed hesitant expressions, unsure whether to increase the price.

Seeing this, Li Yunhao on the auction stage said: "For the first time in 380, is there any fellow Taoist who bids?"

No one in the audience made a sound.

"The 380th..."

Before Li Yunhao finished speaking, someone interrupted him loudly: "Four hundred spirit stones!"

Yun Yongzhu could tell that this person was the first bidder. It seemed that this person was bound to win the Changhong Sword.

The whole place was quiet, no one made a sound.

Many people were originally hesitant to bid, but seeing this man's resolute attitude, they stopped bidding to compete with him.

After all, the Changhong Sword is just the first item to appear in the auction. There will definitely be many flying sword weapons later, so why rush it.

Li Yunhao said "four hundred spiritual stones" three times in a row, but no one raised the price, so he directly announced: "Deal!"

After that, Yun Yongzhu watched a monk in the seat in front of him get up and go to the back of the hall with a happy face, probably to pay the spirit stone and get the Changhong Sword.

Everyone's attention was not on the monk who successfully photographed the Changhong Sword, because at this time the host Li Yunhao had already smiled and asked someone to present the second item.

"This is a fine iron shield, a medium-grade defensive magic weapon." The fine iron shield is the most common defensive magic weapon in the world of immortality. It is generally made of fine iron as the main material.

Everyone was a little curious and doubtful about the appearance of the Fine Iron Shield. Is the Qianbao Pavilion Auction House's century-old auction already so low-level?
Most monks have heard of the name of the Fine Iron Shield. Although this kind of defensive weapon is relatively rare, it is not uncommon. You can exchange or buy it in any Dafang City or large city in any state, or even at small trade fairs. One piece.

According to everyone's opinion, it is impossible for a defensive magic weapon like the Fine Iron Shield to become a lot in Qianbao Pavilion's large-scale auction. There is no need to auction it, not to mention that it is only a medium-grade fine iron shield.

Amid everyone's speculation, Li Yunhao took out the second lot from the box held by two other beautiful female nuns, just like the first time.

Everyone saw that it was the most common defensive weapon in the form of a shield, larger than an adult's hand.

Unexpectedly, one of the female cultivators on the stage suddenly attacked Li Yunhao, and saw a small black sword hitting Li Yunhao's face.

But Li Yunhao didn't panic at all when faced with the attack, and his expression didn't even change at all. He turned a blind eye to the black sword. Another female cultivator on the stage held an empty box and made no move.

In a flash of lightning, just when the small sword was about to attack Li Yunhao, the small fine iron shield in his hand flew up to block him.

"Qiang~"

The sound of swords and shields clashing with gold and leather echoed throughout the hall.

This scene happened very quickly, in about one breath. When everyone in the audience reacted and started to panic, the female cultivator who attacked on the stage had already withdrawn her small sword and stood with another female cultivator. went.

Such an obvious scene made most people understand that this was all arranged by Qianbao Pavilion in advance.

Only then did everyone react and realized that this fine iron shield seemed a little different from the common fine iron shield. Looking back on the scene just now, it seemed that the host did not actively control the fine iron shield's defense.

This speculation made everyone in the audience feel a little excited.

At this time, Li Yunhao input spiritual power into the fine iron shield. The shield spun around and instantly turned into a round shield about six feet wide. Following Li Yunhao's control, it moved and floated around him at will.

Li Yunhao introduced aloud: "Everyone should have some familiarity with the defensive magic weapon of the fine iron shield. Not much else to say, such as the scene that happened before, this fine iron shield can defend itself after being refined, at least it can defend against middle-grade weapons. Although it cannot completely defend against the sneak attacks of attacking magic weapons and the attacks of high-grade magic weapons, it can also weaken the attack power..."

These words confirmed everyone's suspicions, and many people had greedy looks in their eyes, staring fiery at the round shield floating around Li Yunhao.

"Of course, we at Qianbao Pavilion will never deceive our guests. Although this fine iron shield has the function of autonomous defense, its defensive effect is not unlimited. It can only defend against one sneak attack at most.

Moreover, for sound attack magic weapons and spells, magic weapons and spells that attack the soul, these intangible attacks cannot be defended independently.

For entanglement spells, such as wood entanglement, and rope magic weapons that bind, fine iron shields cannot effectively defend against them. "

However, Li Yunhao said a lot of words, but everyone in the audience still stared at the fine iron shield eagerly. There were even people in the box on the second floor who wanted to take pictures of the fine iron shield and even find out the owner of this magical weapon.

The role of independent defense is really not small. There are countless monks in the world of immortality who have been killed by sneak attacks.

If you have such a fine iron shield, as long as you can defend yourself against a sudden fatal attack, even if you can't defend it, you can escape by delaying it for a breath to give yourself time to react.

Generally, only if the magic weapon contains a hint of spirituality, or is a magic weapon refined with the spirit of a monster or a monk, it will automatically protect the master.

But these two conditions are really difficult to achieve. It is very difficult for a magic weapon to cultivate spirituality. Magical weapons are the lowest level among magic weapons. Although it is said that magic weapons can cultivate spirituality, few people have seen it. Just this thousand treasures In the main hall of the pavilion, no one among the thousands of people had seen a spiritual magical weapon.

To cultivate the spirituality of a magic weapon, it can take anywhere from hundreds of years to thousands of years before it is possible to develop a trace of spirituality. Only treasures and spiritual weapons can have the conditions to cultivate spirituality. As for magic weapons, only the bloodline inheritance method can be used. Utensils have great potential to cultivate spirituality.

But this magic weapon passed down by blood is very precious. Once this magic weapon is refined by the first person, that person's bloodline is recognized. Only by having a blood connection with this person can the maximum power of this magic weapon be exerted. Others forcibly refine it. , it would be considered very lucky to be able to exert half of its power.

Besides, magic weapons refined with monster souls or monk souls are also very rare.

First, monster souls are not as easy to obtain as monster souls. To be precise, they are very rare and require special secret techniques to be collected.

Second, this refining method is very precious!

Moreover, only a few of the thousands of people here know about these two methods of making magic weapons spiritual. Ordinary cultivators and even people from small sects and small families have never heard of them.

"This fine iron shield is not on the list of rare treasures. It should not be a magical weapon with spirituality."

Many people are tempted by the Fine Iron Shield, but most people are still clear-minded and have this understanding. After all, there is a spiritual magic weapon, and no one is willing to give it to others.

Li Yunhao didn't think much about what everyone was thinking. After clearly stating the advantages and disadvantages of this fine iron shield, he immediately said:

"Seniors and Taoist friends, this rare treasure that can protect its owner by itself has the same base price as the first treasure, only two hundred. Each increase in price must not be less than ten spiritual stones. What are you waiting for? Start bidding!”
