Chapter 400 Mysterious Auction
With a thought, Qin Mo quietly summoned the twelve demon gods, who quietly entered the sea of blood below by escaping into the void and sank to the bottom of the sea.
Follow,
The twelve demon gods turned into twelve sculptures, standing quietly at the bottom of the sea of blood.
Along with the twelve demon gods, the Lingcui Peak containing the Nine Nether Yin Bamboo also sank to the bottom and disappeared into the mud on the seabed, continuously replenishing the Nine Nether Qi for the twelve demon gods.
However, Qin Mo had made plans to give up using the Twelve Demon Gods for a long time, and let the Twelve Demon Gods take advantage of the unique advantages of the sea of blood to continue practicing and evolving.
He was looking forward to it.
In the future, how far can the Twelve Demons go?
In order to conceal the existence of the Twelve Demon Gods, Qin Mo took out two blood-red banners, one from Lu Fang and the other from Zhou Ting, which turned into a blood-red curtain to cover the Twelve Demon Gods.
in this way,
It completely merged into the sea of blood.
…
After finishing everything, Qin Mo went to Zhu Feng.
The entire Zhufeng Mountain is like a blood-red sword extending from a sea of blood, standing proudly above the sea of blood. The sword body is riddled with holes, and it is unknown how many years it has experienced.
I don’t know how many great wars he has fought in, and how many heads of immortals and Buddhas he has chopped off.
The awe-inspiring sword intent has not dissipated for hundreds of thousands of years and is still as sharp.
“It’s a great place!”
Qin Mo originally only wanted to survive a month, but now he has become interested and plans to take advantage of the unique sword domain aura here to hone his Zhou Tian Xing Dou swordsmanship.
Every hole on the sword's edge is actually a natural cave.
If the cave has an owner, there will naturally be restrictions placed on it. Once the spiritual sense is swept over it, it will be rebounded, so it is easy to identify.
Qin Mo didn't pick and choose and just found an ownerless cave.
These caves have been visited countless times, so there would naturally be no books engraved on the walls, and there would be no demon cultivators who had passed away in meditation for Qin Mo to pick up.
Yes,
It had already been digested by the Styx Sect.
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
In order to demonstrate the results of his cultivation, Qin Mo simply consumed 600 million experience points and broke through from the fourth level of Earthly Immortal to the fifth level of Earthly Immortal.
It can be considered an explanation.
When the time came, the badge in Qin Mo's hand flashed with light, and he was immediately teleported away. When he appeared again, he was not on the lake, but directly on the outskirts of the Styx Sect.
Obviously,
Elder Zhu was also worried that Qin Mo would get into trouble in the Minghe Sect, so he simply kicked him away.
Qin Mo didn't mind.
After leaving the Minghe Sect, he flew on his sword and continued heading west.
He was planning to go to the westernmost Immortal Cult, or more precisely, to the market town affiliated with the Immortal Cult - Huangquan Market, to deal with the spoils captured from the battle at Demon Mountain.
The spoils this time are very rich.
Because they had killed seventeen earthly immortals, there were more than a dozen lower-grade magic weapons alone, plus their storage rings. The total value of all the magic weapons added up was even higher than the last time they robbed the Blood Curse Sect.
certainly,
Compared with the items dropped by Yan Bing, these things are nothing. The Purple Lightning Demon Sword alone is worth more than all the items.
Priceless.
The Purple Lightning Demon Sword was suppressed by Qin Mo in Jinshan Temple, and he used the Buddha's light to cleanse and transform the demonic energy of the Purple Lightning Demon Sword day and night so that he could use it in the future.
In addition to the Purple Lightning Demon Sword, there are also many good things in Yan Bing's storage ring.
Naturally, these things cannot be sold at the Guixu Market under the Tianmo Dao Sect, even though the Guixu Market has always claimed to be neutral to the outside world and never investigates the source of the items .
Qin Mo is not stupid.
He even took the initiative to bypass the market town under the jurisdiction of the Styx Sect, just to spare the figure Zhou Ting of the Blood Evil Sect, and to eliminate the influence of his entry into the sea of blood as much as possible, so as to prevent the Styx Sect from making too many associations.
After leaving the territory of the Minghe Sect, Qin Mo turned back into Chen Feng.
Even if a figure like Zhou Ting of the Blood Evil Sect completely disappeared in the Earthly Immortal World, when the Blood Evil Sect investigates the matter in the future, it will most likely be determined that he had an accident and died outside.
…
A week later, Huangquanfang Market.
When Qin Mo walked out of Huangquan Pavilion, the largest shop in Huangquan Market, he packed up and sold all the spoils he had captured, except for a few items such as the Purple Lightning Demon Sword.
There were also more than four million high-quality spirit stones in his pocket.
Including the seized spirit stones, Qin Mo now owns more than 5 million high-quality spirit stones, and his wealth has increased significantly again.
In addition to the spirit stones, Qin Mo also had a mysterious black card in his hand.
This is the admission ticket to the mysterious auction that will be held in Huangquanfang City. Because it is a high-end auction, the initial capital is 1 million high-quality spirit stones.
Qin Mo was given such a black card because he became a VIP of Huangquan Pavilion.
Qin Mo found an inn to stay in the market, still hesitating whether to attend the auction three days later.
An auction of this scale is hard to come by even once in a hundred years.
Precisely because of the high standards, the items being auctioned are treasures that are rare in the world, and those who participate in the auction are basically true immortals, so it is difficult for them to hide their cultivation.
It is not necessarily a good thing for Qin Mo, a fifth-level earthly immortal, to attend such an auction in the Momeng Danzhou, and he has a wealthy fortune. He may be targeted at any time.
But not going?
If you miss such an opportunity, it will be difficult to encounter it again next time.
For Qin Mo, there is no point in keeping the spirit stones. The most practical thing is to exchange them for treasures and improve his own strength.
After thinking it over again and again, Qin Mo decided to go and take a look.
Three days passed quickly.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Qin Mo walked out of the inn and came to Huangquan Pavilion again.
"This way, please."
After showing the black card, Qin Mo was led by a deacon of Huangquan Pavilion to the top floor of Huangquan Pavilion, which is also the location of the auction hall of Huangquan Pavilion.
The entire hall is decorated surprisingly simply.
There was an auction table above and a row of rosewood chairs below. Apart from that, there was nothing else.
When Qin Mo arrived, there were already five bidders sitting in the hall. Without exception, all of them were at the level of True Immortal. He also tactfully found a corner and sat down.
"Eh, fifth level of Earthly Immortal?"
No matter how low-key Qin Mo is, he can't stop other people's curiosity.
"Is the threshold for auctions so low now? Is a mere earthly immortal also qualified to participate?" A demon lord glanced at Qin Mo fiercely with a very unfriendly expression.
Qin Mo remained silent.
At this point, whatever he said was wrong.
"Boy, I'm talking to you?!"
The big man in black robe who was closest to Qin Mo was even more dissatisfied when he saw that Qin Mo remained silent and did not take the initiative to greet these True Immortals.
Qin Mo simply entered into a state of meditation.
The backer behind Huangquan Pavilion is the Immortal Sect, one of the three major giants of the demonic world. Even a true immortal would not dare to cause trouble in Huangquan Pavilion, let alone break the rules of Huangquan Pavilion.
otherwise,
You will be in trouble at any moment.
This is also the main reason why Qin Mo has the confidence to participate in this auction. The threat to him is only after the auction is over and he leaves Huangquanfang City, someone may attack him.
By then,
Maybe he's going to try to escape again.
"Boy, you have guts!"
The big man in black robe smiled sinisterly, and no one knew what evil plan he was up to.
Next,
Six more True Immortals came to the auction hall, one of whom was even a First Tribulation True Immortal.
Including Qin Mo,
It makes exactly twelve.
This was the first time Qin Mo attended an auction with such a small number of people. When the door of the hall was closed from the outside, a woman in a red robe appeared out of nowhere on the stage.
This move alone stunned everyone present.
Don't mention Qin Mo,
Even these True Immortals did not notice how this woman appeared, and they dared not act presumptuously anymore.
Qin Mo's eyes became even more focused. He could never have imagined that the person presiding over the auction would be a Second Tribulation True Immortal. It was indeed a mysterious auction that only happened once in a hundred years. It was indeed a big deal.
Qin Mo guessed,
This woman should have been temporarily invited by Huangquan Pavilion from the Immortal Sect.
“Let’s get started!”
The woman in red robe neither introduced herself nor said any warm-up words. She just started right away. In terms of hosting skills, it was extremely poor, but no one dared to say a word of dissatisfaction.
In fact,
A high-level auction like this does not need any of that pretentious stuff.
Let’s just get straight to the point.
The red-robed woman waved her right hand, and three treasures appeared in the air: a sword, an armor, and a shield. They all shone brightly, and it was obvious that they were not ordinary things.
Qin Mo frowned slightly.
These three treasures are certainly not low-grade magic weapons. If one reaches the level of True Immortal, even if one really needs low-grade magic weapons, there is no need for him to participate in such an auction .
That's so embarrassing.
But it is not right to say that the three treasures are mid-grade magic weapons.
After all, Qin Mo came from the Immortal Sect and had some knowledge. He recognized at a glance that these three treasures should be ancient treasures, or ancient treasures for short.
The older the magic weapon is, the better it is not.
Just like cultivators, if a top-grade magic weapon wants to be upgraded to a pure yang magic weapon, it must also go through forty-nine heavenly tribulations.
If you can't make it through, you will turn into ashes.
As for low-grade and medium-grade magic weapons, if they fail to be upgraded to high-grade magic weapons after a long period of time, the magic weapon's spirit will gradually dissipate, and its magical effect will naturally be greatly reduced.
therefore,
The ancient treasures that can truly be passed down for millions of years, or even longer, are at least pure yang magic weapons.
Even a spiritual treasure!
The three treasures that Huangquan Pavilion took out this time were certainly not pure yang magic weapons. They all had one common characteristic, which was - they were damaged.
That's right.
These ancient treasures either came from ancient battlefields or ancient ruins. They were all pure yang treasures whose owners had died and were severely damaged in the war, with their souls annihilated.
That's like saying,
They only have the foundation of Pure Yang magic weapons, but their actual power may not be stronger than that of lower-grade magic weapons.
It may even be just a decoration or an antique.
If the ritual cannot be successfully performed, then it will not be able to exert any power at all and can only be used as a collection item.
Even so, monks are still flocking to ancient treasures.
It’s not cheap!
Because every incomplete Pure Yang magic weapon, no matter how badly damaged it is, can be successfully refined as long as the correct method of refining is found and with enough patience.
Once successful,
Even if one can only unleash one ten-thousandth of the power of a Pure Yang magic weapon, it can still defeat a mid-grade magic weapon.
After all, the solid foundation is there...
This is not without precedent.
Rumor has it that the founder of the Minghe Sect, the Minghe Patriarch, obtained a pure yang magic weapon from the blood sea of the Minghe River and luckily succeeded in refining it.
With this treasure,
The ancestor of the Minghe River jumped from an ordinary little magic cultivator to a giant in the Demon Dream Danzhou, and later founded the Minghe Sect, a super magic sect.
Today,
The power of that Pure Yang magic weapon has even surpassed that of top-grade magic weapons, becoming the biggest trump card in the hands of the Styx Sect.
therefore,
Many cultivators are taking a gamble, hoping to become the next "Ancestor of the Styx".
certainly,
Most of these have failed.
Since these Pure Yang magic weapons all came from ancient times, not to mention that the owners of the magic weapons have already passed away, even the sects of the owners of the magic weapons have mostly disappeared in the long river of history.
Without the corresponding skills, it is difficult to find the method to refine the magic weapon.
"The first item for auction is an ancient nameless sword, a treasure of pure yang. Make your bid." The red-robed woman said calmly.
Everyone looked over.
It is said to be an ancient sword, but only half of the sword body is left, and it is still covered with rust. Only the cold sword spirit that has lingered on the sword for thousands of years indirectly confirms the extraordinary origin of this sword.
No one doubts,
What kind of fake things would Huangquan Pavilion use to fool them?
For an ordinary True Immortal, it may be difficult to find an ancient treasure, but for a super sect like the Immortal Sect, it already has a lot of ancient treasures in stock.
Sometimes if you are lucky enough to find an ancient battlefield, you may be able to collect a basketful of them.
For example, the Blood Sea that Qin Mo had been to before. Those powerful beings floating in the Blood Sea, many of them had Pure Yang Magical Weapons as their natal magic weapons, and they were all taken away by the Styx Sect.
A large part of the reason why ancient treasures are sold at very high prices is that these super sects control the ancient treasure market, and they value rare goods. Even though they obviously have a lot of inventory, they pretend to be selling them off at a loss, just like the auction in front of them.
Every auction,
All of these can be seen as a large-scale looting of spirit stones by the super sect, used to fill the spirit stone gap in the sect.
Qin Mo already had the Purple Lightning Demon Sword, so he naturally had no interest in such a broken sword, and he could not resist the enthusiasm of the other bidders.
"One million!"
"One million and two hundred thousand !"
"One million and a half million!"
…
In just a quarter of an hour, the price of the broken sword was raised to three million high-quality spirit stones.
The key is that there is no sign of stopping.
Qin Mo could understand why the Broken Sword was so popular, because among all the ancient treasures, swords, spears, halberds and other weapons were the most popular.
In ancient times, there were abundant resources for cultivating immortals, and gold was everywhere.
The ancient cultivators' weapon-refining skills might not be that great, but the materials they used were absolutely first-rate treasures from heaven and earth. Any one of them would cause a bloody fight over it now.
Because ancient weapons have simple refining techniques and uniform shapes, they retain the performance of the refining materials themselves to the greatest extent possible.
Therefore, its utilization value is also the highest.
Just like the broken sword in front of him, even if its soul was destroyed and even if it had been broken into two pieces, it was still extremely sharp. With one chop, it could easily cut off a seventh-order flying sword.
Even if it cannot be used as a weapon, it can be recast into a magical weapon such as a flying knife.
It’s definitely worth buying!
Because of this, the super sects that monopolized the ancient treasure market rarely put ancient weapons up for auction, and basically sold armor, shields and other ancient treasures.
No wonder these true immortals are like crazy.
It is probably because the super sects have used similar tricks too many times, and the true immortals are not fools, so their enthusiasm for purchasing ancient treasures has gradually declined. For this reason, the super sects will take out one or two ancient weapons every once in a while to rekindle the true immortals' enthusiasm for bidding.
The marketing methods are very sophisticated.
Qin Mo was certainly not moved by the excitement in front of him. On the contrary, his eyes were looking at the ancient armor in the middle, and a rare ripple arose in his heart.
He felt,
There seemed to be a trace of Shenxiao's true energy in that armor.
