The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 061

Chapter 061 Grand Auction (3)
In the end, this incomplete spirit artifact fell into the hands of the Tai Hao Sword Sect without any suspense. Li Qing did not bid, he just watched the show from the side.

“Tai Hao Sword Sect, the largest sect in Cloud Province, is indeed rich!” Someone was discussing.

“Number one in Yunzhou?” Hearing this, Li Qing’s heart couldn’t help but stir, and he listened inclined his ears.

From their discussions, they knew that the Tai Hao Sword Sect was the publicly acknowledged number one sect in the Cloud Continent, and its strength and foundation were extremely terrifying. This sect specializes in swordsmanship and takes the elite path. There are very few of them, but their individual strength is terrifyingly strong. They are known to be invincible at the same level, but they can fight beyond that level.

‘”They are also elites, and their numbers are even smaller than the Eight Desolate Sect! In such a small number of people, they can be recognized as the number one sect in Yunzhou. It seems that their personal strength is really very strong.” Li Qing secretly remembered this sect in his heart.

The old man on the stage looked very happy. He smiled like a chrysanthemum and continued, “Next, we are going to hold our second auction. Everyone, please take a look!” As he spoke, he carefully took out a small porcelain bottle from the plate held by the maid beside him and introduced it to everyone,

‘”This is called the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk! I believe everyone has heard of this before. In a battle, if one consumes all of their True Qi, they only need to consume one drop of the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk to recover their True Qi and strength. If they encounter any danger, possessing this thing would be equivalent to having an extra life!”

“Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk!” Li Qing’s eyes lit up as he stared at the small porcelain bottle. This thing was simply tailor-made for him, because after he used the forbidden power within the Heavenly Saber, his entire body would be powerless. As long as he had this 10,000-year-old spirit milk, wouldn’t he be able to use that terrifying power indefinitely?

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but feel excited and eager to obtain this bottle of spirit milk.

“What, are you tempted?” Liu Ke’er chuckled.

“Yes! This item is of great use to me. I must obtain it!” Li Qing nodded without hesitation.

In fact, it wasn’t just Li Qing, many people were very tempted. Although this item was a consumable item and its value was not comparable to the incomplete Blackwater Sword in front of him, it was very practical. Perhaps it could really save his life in a critical moment!

“There are dozens of drops of spirit milk in this bottle, enough for a long time. Starting bid, 3,000 spirit stones!” The old man smiled and said loudly, “Now, everyone, start bidding.”

This price was not very high. Everyone bid, “3,100 spirit stones!”

“Four thousand spirit stones!”

The shouts rang out one after another. In just a few minutes, the price had risen to 7,000 spirit stones. This could already be considered an extremely high price. If it was any higher, it might not be worth it.

However, in the eyes of those in need, this item was invaluable.

“Ten thousand spirit stones!” Li Qing bid, directly raising the price by a large margin, shocking everyone present.

This instantly attracted everyone’s attention. Their gazes followed the sound and finally froze on a black-robed figure in the back.

Li Qing didn’t pay too much attention to the gazes that were mixed with various emotions. His calm face was covered by the black robe and he calmly faced them. This caused everyone to speculate on Li Qing’s identity.

In fact, although the price was very high, it was nothing to the big powers. They would not retreat because of this.

“11,000 spirit stones!” Sure enough, the people from the War King Sect took action and continued to increase the price.

“12,000 spirit stones!” Of course, Li Qing would not give up.

“Thirteen thousand spirit stones!”

…

“Twenty thousand spirit stones!” Li Qing clenched his fists tightly and raised the price by another half in one breath, showing his determination to obtain it. His price increase caused the people of the War King Sect to be silent. They had not spoken for a long time, so they had obviously given up.

Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. They were shocked that Li Qing was actually able to bring out so much wealth alone and dare to fight against the big powers. Could it be that there were some forces behind this? But why not sit in the VIP room?

The old man smiled as he watched the dragon and tiger battles on the stage and loudly said, “Twenty thousand spirit stones, is there anyone who can offer a higher price?” His words echoed in the auction hall, and no one answered for a long time.

Such a high price had already exceeded the value of the Myriad Year Spirit Milk itself. Unless it was something that was extremely needed, no one would buy it for a large price, because it was not a necessity for cultivation.

More importantly, Xiantian experts were capable of communicating with the heavens and the earth. True energy could be said to be endless, and there were very few cases where true energy was used up. Therefore, this 10,000-year-old spirit milk did not seem to be too precious.

“Since no one else is bidding, then the twenty thousand spirit stones will be sold!” After waiting for a moment, the old man decided.

This bottle of Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk finally fell into Li Qing’s hands. He couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief and took the small porcelain bottle with trembling hands as if it were a precious treasure. Opening the lid of the bottle, he saw that there was a rich milky white liquid inside, sparkling and translucent, giving off a refreshing fragrance.

“Good stuff!” Li Qing smiled and carefully put it into his interspatial ring. With this item, he could use the Heavenly Saber without any scruples. This meant a lot to him.

Next, the auction continued. The auction items that came out later weren’t that precious, but they were all considered rare items. All sorts of pills, weapons, medicinal herbs, cultivation techniques, and so on were brought up one after another, causing everyone to frantically fight over them.

Among them, there was nothing that made Li Qing’s heart beat, so he didn’t make another move and waited quietly.

“Next, a group of Aperture Opening Pills will be auctioned!” The old man said. Then, he pulled open the red cloth on the plate beside him. Ten bottles of pills appeared in front of everyone. “There are ten bottles in total, divided into ten auctions. One bottle each time, the starting price is 1,000 spirit stones.”

“Aperture Opening Pill?” Li Qing’s heart skipped a beat.

The Aperture Opening Pill was a medicinal pill that could be used to break through to the Xiantian realm by hitting the Aperture Opening Acupoints. Strictly speaking, these pills weren’t very precious, but most of them were in the hands of large sects, and it was rare to see them in the outside world.

In the Eight Desolate Sect, there were also pills that could be exchanged for Tongqiao acupoints, but they required contribution points and could not be exchanged in large quantities. Now that he could buy it here, Li Qing naturally wouldn’t let it go.

So he said to Liu Ke’er, “How about buying a few bottles for you to help you break through?”

Liu Ke’er blushed and nodded, “Yes!” If she could break through to the Xiantian realm as soon as possible, she would be able to marry Li Qing as soon as possible. Naturally, she would not refuse.

Following that, Li Qing took action again and again, slapping down five bottles of Aperture Opening Pills in a row. The price he offered wasn’t too high, mainly because the people from the big powers didn’t need it, so not many people competed with him.

In fact, with his financial resources, he could buy all the pills, but he did not do so. Instead, he left some for others to avoid causing public indignation.

Even so, his actions were enough to attract attention. Everyone’s gazes turned to Li Qing, curious as to who this person was, and how powerful his financial resources were.

With so many photographs, he could be considered to be in the limelight. Fortunately, both of them wore black robes, covering their identities. No one could recognize them, otherwise, they would definitely cause trouble afterwards.

After taking these bottles of pills, Li Qing did not make another move. He closed his eyes to recuperate and waited quietly. Liu Ke’er encountered a few things she liked and took action to take them down.

The auction went on smoothly. One item after another was brought up like flowing water. All of them were rare items, and there were even some peerless treasures among them, causing everyone to frantically snatch them.

Sure enough, this grand auction did not disappoint anyone. Whether it was quality or quantity, it exceeded everyone’s expectations. No wonder so many people came all the way here.

After an unknown amount of time, the auction finally came to an end. Next, it was the finale of the good stuff.

Li Qing’s heart jumped with anticipation.

The old man on the stage said to the crowd, “The auction has been going on for so long, and it is almost over. Next, the item to be auctioned is one of the finale items. Please take a look!”

With that, he took the silver plate from the maid’s hand and opened the red cloth. A crimson crystal appeared in front of everyone. Then, he excitedly introduced, “This is the final item of today, a Demon Saint inner core!”

“Demon Saint inner core!” These few words instantly caused the entire noisy auction hall to fall into silence.

The Demon Saint was equivalent to the Void Realm among humans. He was already a peak expert in the world, an existence that was like a land deity that was rarely seen in the world. Now that such a Demon Saint inner core had appeared in front of him, it was truly shocking.

Countless blazing gazes shot towards the scarlet crystal on the platform. The sound of rapid breathing resounded like a bellows.

“Too beautiful!” Li Qing took a deep breath and his heart couldn’t help but beat faster. His eyes were filled with shock.

This crimson crystal emitted an intoxicating light. It was translucent and sparkling, and its divine light was exquisite. It seemed to contain some strange power, causing people to unknowingly sink into it.

“Unfortunately, this thing is useless to me.” Li Qing shook his head gently. In fact, this thing was useless to most people because it was too high-end for them to use.

Unless it was a Xiantian realm expert, they might only need to use this kind of thing. This was because the Demon Saint inner core contained a mysterious power of heaven and earth. If they used it to comprehend it, they might be able to comprehend it.

Of course, the main purpose of this item was to use it as a material for refining pills, artifacts, or formations. It could be imagined how high-end it would be to use the Demon Saint inner core as a material.

Therefore, no matter what kind of use it was, it was useless against Li Qing. Seeing this Demon Saint Inner Pill was only a shock to his heart. It was meaningless to see the liveliness.

However, this item had a fatal attraction to many major powers. Without a doubt, they would fight desperately for it.

“This is just one of the last items. There might be something even more precious in the future. I wonder what it will be?” Li Qing was a little curious.

Just as he was thinking this, the battle for the Demon Saint inner core began very quickly. The starting price was 10,000 spirit stones.

Sure enough, the people from many major powers bid one after another. The competition was very intense, and the price continued to rise. Soon, it reached a high price of 40,000 spirit stones.

The atmosphere in the auction hall had reached its climax.

Faced with such a crazy situation, many people knew that they had no right to participate in the competition. But to be able to personally witness such a shocking money war was a worthwhile trip.

After nearly half an hour of intense competition, the money war finally came to an end. In the end, the Iron Spear Sect bought this precious inner core for more than 70,000 spirit stones.

After selling this peerless inner pill, the auction hadn’t ended yet. The old man on the stage continued, “Next, the second finale will be auctioned.”

He picked up a thick book, raised it high and introduced it to the crowd, “This is a cultivation technique called ‘Nine Revolutions of the Divine Elephant’. It was the ultimate technique of the Divine Elephant Sect in the past!”
