Chapter 118: Must Win!

“I seem to have heard the name of Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique in the royal city. That’s not right. Isn’t this thing said to have been lost 800 years ago?”

“This Lin auction house is really unfathomable. You can even find this kind of lost martial technique!”

“More importantly, this item can also be used for forging. It’s just right for me, an itinerant cultivator who travels all over the place. I must get it!”

“It can be used for battle in times of danger, and it can also be used to accumulate spiritual stones too.”

This martial technique, which had multiple uses, once again aroused the desire of all the cultivators present.

25,000 spiritual stones!

30,000 spiritual stones!

35,000 spiritual stones!

…

The cultivators in the hall still bid, even though they knew that the price had already exceeded their capabilities!

Now that they had bid such a price, once the deal was done, they would have to sell the things they owned before they could gather enough spiritual stones as payment. However, they still gritted their teeth and decided to bid for the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique!

Just as the people below were staring eagerly at the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique on the stage, in the VIP room, Qi Yuexeng and Qi Yifei were staring at the small box beside Miao Qing with their mouths agape. It was a thread-bound, ancient blue book.

Through the cover, they seemed to see a naked, muscular man waving a huge hammer beside the forging stage. His every move created a whistling wind.

“Father! Our Qi clan must get our hands on this martial technique!” Qi Yifei said to Qi Yueheng seriously.

“Do I need you to remind me?”

Bai Wuheng was the first to bid among the VIP rooms! “50,000 spiritual stones!”

“Aren’t you looking down on this fifth-level treasure with your bid?” Zhao Gongming opened the communication device between the VIP rooms and mocked Bai Wuheng.

“70,000 spiritual stones!”

“If you don’t want it, then don’t bid recklessly!”

As if in response to Zhao Gongming’s provocation, Bai Wuheng counterattacked with another bid.

“85,000 spiritual stones!” Zhao Gongming continued to raise the bid.

“90,000 spiritual stones!” At this moment, Xu Youqing placed a bid in the auction hall on the first floor.

Seeing that the price was getting higher, Qi Yifei looked anxiously at Qi Yueheng, who was still unmoved. He was extremely puzzled.

“Father! Hurry up and place your bid!”

“What’s the rush?”

Only then did Qi Yueheng clear his throat, pick up the bidding device and enter a number.

Miao Qing immediately called out.

“150,000 spiritual stones! Anyone else?”

In the VIP room, Qi yifei stared at Qi Yueheng with his mouth agape.

“Father! You’ve almost doubled the price!”

“Hehe, only by raising the price to a level that they can’t accept will we have the best chance of getting the treasure at the lowest price!”

“Raising the price bit by bit is like boiling a frog in warm water. When you realize that something is wrong, it’ll be too late for you to run away!”

Moreover, the price at that time would be even more outrageous than now! As expected, following Qi Yueheng’s bid, no one in the hall dared to bid again.

“150,000 spiritual stones going once!

“150,000 spiritual stones going twice!

“150,000 spiritual stones sold!”

[ Ding! Congratulations, host! The auction of the fifth-level Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique has been successfully auctioned! ]

[ You have received 500 times the rebate! ]

[ You have received the seventh-level Shattered Star Hammer Technique! ]

…

Seeing that the auction was successful, Miao Qing continued speaking, “Next up is the fourth item, fifth-level Empty Treasure Chest.

“There’s still space inside the treasure chest. Its sufficient spiritual energy enabled it to be used as a place to cultivate precious spiritual materials.

“The starting price is 20,000 spiritual stones. Each bid must not be less than 5,000 spiritual stones!”

This was a treasure that could aid one’s cultivation.

It did not seem like there was anything worth fighting for, but this was why it was a precious treasure! This was because no one knew what kind of place was inside the Empty Treasure Box.

Miao Qing turned around and took a palm-sized box from the handmaiden beside him. On the surface of the box, there was a carving of a scene of hundreds and thousands of little people working on the ground.

At this moment, Miao Qing gently injected his own qi into the box.

A huge projection of heaven and earth suddenly appeared in the sky above the auction hall. Through the light projection, one could see a land of more than a thousand hectares. The sky was constantly dripping with dense qi in the form of droplets!

Under the irrigation of the qi, a seed that had just been planted on the ground broke out of the ground in a breath’s time. In three breaths’ time, it had sprouted. In five breaths’ time, it had bloomed and bore fruit. In ten breaths’ time, it had matured!

This rate of growth shocked everyone. At the same time, they felt the rich qi from the other world. Everyone’s jaw dropped!

“This… Even if such a treasure isn’t used for planting, it’s still very good even as a cultivation aid!”

“This degree of qi condensation is already close to a high-level Spirit Gathering Array, right?”

“Oh my god, I’ve never seen qi condensed to such a degree falling from the sky! If I can bathe in it, my usual cultivation speed would be more than twice as fast.”

“It’s more than that! Feel the vitality coming from this world. Not only can it be used for cultivation, but it can also speed up recovery of injuries!”

“In some cases, it can even help to buy more time for a dying person!”

“It’s even more exaggerated to say that people with higher talent can even comprehend the laws of life from it!”

Just as everyone was talking to each other, Xu Youqing suddenly stood up and said loudly, “Brothers in Lin City, please listen to me! Please be magnanimous and let me have this fifth-level treasure chest!

“The Xufeng Regiment will not let you give it up for nothing. If you have any missions in the future, you can hand them over to the Xufeng Regiment. Our Xufeng Regiment only needs six levels of commission, and we’ll complete it perfectly for you.”

“Leader Xu Youqing is too polite! Such a treasure can only be used by big forces like you. This little old man will not join in the fun,” a tanned old man beside Xu Youqing suddenly said.

“Alright, I, Xu Youqing, will first thank everyone! I bid 45,000 spiritual stones for the Empty Treasure Chest!”
