I became the Open Source Saint Ancestor in the Cultivation World

Jiang Xiyue ignored the commotion behind her and focused her attention on the auction below.

With the two additional thousand-year-old spiritual materials she had temporarily added being auctioned off, she earned nearly 600,000 top-grade spirit stones.

This is after deducting the previous 100,000 and commission. If we add the 1,400-year-old Cold Marrow Grass, this time we can earn at least 1.2 million, which is definitely more than my cheap master.

However, she did not spend the money recklessly, and even though she was tempted by a few treasures, she resisted the urge to spend.

Finally, we arrived at the Cold Marrow Grass.

Honglan began her vivid introduction: "I believe many fellow cultivators are well aware that the Cold Marrow Grass has a wide range of uses. It is needed in the refining of many elixirs, talismans, and magical treasures."

"Therefore, it is extremely rare for a Cold Marrow Grass to reach a thousand years of age, and this Cold Marrow Grass is as old as fourteen hundred years old, a once-in-a-century occurrence."

"Once this opportunity is missed, it will be difficult to find fellow Daoists who need it again in a short period of time."

"Without further ado, the 1,400-year-old Cold Marrow Grass has a starting bid of 50,000 top-grade spirit stones, with each bid increasing by no less than 5,000."

As soon as she finished speaking, someone immediately offered 100,000.

Although the price was doubled, it didn't scare away cultivators who really needed it. Besides, the price of the Cold Marrow Grass couldn't possibly be only 100,000.

Seeing the bidding price continue to rise, Jiang Xiyue, who usually kept her expression calm, could not hide the smile on her face.

"Four hundred thousand." As the price rapidly soared to three hundred thousand, Wang Tiancheng's face darkened, and he immediately added another one hundred thousand, displaying an air of determination to win, seemingly trying to scare away the competitors.

"Four hundred and fifty thousand." Soon someone added fifty thousand without hesitation.

"Five hundred thousand," Wang Tiancheng immediately followed.

"Six hundred thousand." The man clearly wanted to forcefully push away Wang Tiancheng, a competitor, and directly added one hundred thousand.

Seeing how fiercely the competition was between the two, the others who were interested quietly left.

Jiang Xiyue exclaimed in surprise, "Add more, add more..."

"Damn it," Wang Tiancheng cursed under his breath, then gritted his teeth and shouted, "Seven hundred thousand!"

"Seven hundred and one thousand."

"Seven hundred and fifty thousand." Although Wang Tiancheng gritted his teeth, he tried his best to remain calm when bidding.

Finally, the other party's voice fell silent, and Honglan spoke up at the opportune moment: "Is there a higher price than 750,000? 750,000 once. This is a rare 1,400-year-old Cold Marrow Grass. Missing this opportunity is not something that can be made up for by 100,000 or 200,000 top-grade spirit stones."

Clearly, they wanted someone to add another 100,000 or 200,000, but no one responded.

"750,000 twice."

Wang Tiancheng unconsciously clenched his fist. He had only prepared 800,000 this time. If someone else raised the price, he would have to use magic weapons instead, which was definitely not acceptable.

"750,000 in three transactions, sold."

Wang Tiancheng let out a soft breath, but the thought that most of his spirit stones would likely end up in the pockets of the murderer next door eased his expression considerably.

So he readily handed over the spirit stones, and soon a jade box appeared before him. When he opened it, it contained the Cold Marrow Grass.

At the same time, the 675,000 top-grade spirit stones, after deducting commissions, also arrived in Jiang Xiyue's hands. She was overjoyed because the price was much higher than she had expected.

At this moment, she had nearly 1.4 million top-grade spirit stones on her, and this sudden wealth made her ecstatic.

But because Ma Ke was still around, he tried his best to remain reserved.

Then, several magical treasures were auctioned off, one of which was priced close to a million. Jiang Xiyue couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement. It seemed that she was still not rich enough. If only that kid Ma Ke had taken more from the secret realm back then.

"Today's fiftieth item, a Nascent Soul stage talisman: Thor's Hammer." As a jade box was opened, a talisman gleaming with golden lightning appeared in everyone's view, and many people couldn't help but crane their necks.

This was crafted by a Nascent Soul cultivator by drawing upon the power of their own natal magic weapon, which is why it can rival the attack of a late-stage Golden Core cultivator.

Jiang Xiyue's eyes were also burning with desire, because she also wanted to acquire this treasure.

At first, she only wanted to exchange a thousand-year-old spiritual herb for more top-grade spirit stones; she didn't intend to buy anything else.

After all, this is the territory of the righteous path, and magical treasures, talismans, and pills naturally conflict with the demonic arts on her body.

Until she discovered that the "Open Source Limitless Skill" could convert demonic essence and true essence, magic power and spiritual power into each other.

In other words, I will be able to cultivate not only demonic techniques but also righteous techniques in the future.

Therefore, after entering the private room, she began to pay attention to the items being auctioned and immediately took a liking to the "Thor's Hammer".

Because he knew that the cultivation world revered the strong, and no matter how wealthy he was, without sufficient strength, everything would eventually turn to nothing.

To avoid becoming the next Ma Ke, improving one's strength as much as possible is the only way out.

While the Open Source Limitless Technique allows for a much faster cultivation speed, it still cannot enable one to quickly become a Golden Core expert.

But this Nascent Soul stage talisman is different. As long as it can be activated, it can unleash its powerful energy, enough to give one combat strength comparable to a Golden Core expert for a period of time.

Therefore, she secretly decided to take it at all costs.

As for "Thor's Hammer," it doesn't need much introduction. It's enough to let people know that it was made by a Nascent Soul expert and has attack power comparable to a late-stage Golden Core cultivator.

"Starting bid: 300,000 top-grade spirit stones, with each bid increment no less than 30,000."

"Five hundred thousand." Jiang Xiyue was the first to offer.

Wang Tiancheng's heart sank. The other party actually wanted this talisman treasure, which meant that the other party was likely a Golden Core cultivator.

They must have used some means to successfully infiltrate the secret realm. No wonder my precious daughter was no match for them, and the other party wasn't afraid of any threats.

"Six hundred thousand."

"Eight hundred thousand." She, being wealthy and powerful, wanted to project an image of wealth and power as quickly as possible, hoping to force out all competitors and secure the deal at a lower price.

Clearly, those who came specifically for this talisman were well-prepared, and the price quickly climbed to one million.

Jiang Xiyue suddenly became anxious because her current net worth was only a little over 1.3 million. Judging from this situation, was it not enough?

Wang Tiancheng was naturally happy to see this happen, because if the other party were to obtain Thor's Hammer, things would get complicated.

Now that the price exceeds one million, he doesn't believe the other party can still afford it.

But just as I was thinking that, a voice rang out: "One million two hundred thousand."

"One million two hundred and one thousand."

Although others were following suit, their price increases were nowhere near as aggressive as Jiang Xiyue's.

"One million three hundred thousand," Jiang Xiyue shouted again.

Wang Tiancheng, separated by a wall, looked grim. He immediately realized that the other party must have plundered a lot of spiritual materials in the secret realm, and was therefore quite wealthy.

"One million three hundred thousand." The previous competitors only added one thousand.

"One million four hundred thousand."

Although Jiang Xiyue couldn't afford that much, according to the previous agreement with the auction house, she could pay 95% of the transaction price, with the discount not exceeding 10% of the auction price of the Cold Marrow Grass.

Therefore, instead of 1.4 million, only 1.33 million needs to be supported.

Jiang Xiyue silently prayed in her heart that the cries would stop.

Because the highest she could bid was 1.45 million, she managed to scrape together nearly 1.38 million to pay.

It seemed that the price had exceeded the other party's expectations, or perhaps they sensed Jiang Xiyue's determination, so they finally stopped raising the price.

That's true. It sounds impressive to have an attack comparable to the late stage of the Golden Core realm, but talismans are consumables, and their usage time is rarely more than an hour.

This would be somewhat of a waste for late-stage Golden Core cultivators, and how many early- to mid-stage Golden Core cultivators could afford to produce so many top-grade spirit stones?

Even if it were possible, it might be more cost-effective to use it elsewhere.

Finally, after Honglan's three attempts, "Thor's Hammer" was sold for 1.4 million.

After Jiang Xiyue paid, she still had nearly 50,000 top-grade spirit stones left.

Seeing the talisman gleaming with golden lightning in his hand again, he was filled with excitement.

Wang Tiancheng's face, however, was so gloomy it seemed to drip water.
