A crimson scissor radiating the power of fiery flames, a cyan jade bottle, and a golden thin sheet.
“Crimson Dragon Scissors, a top-grade ancient treasure refined using the spirit bones of two ninth-order Flood Dragons, along with several rare top-tier fire-attribute materials.”
A magical technique was cast upon the crimson scissors, and instantly, this ancient treasure seemed to come alive, expanding to a size of five or six zhang, transforming into two fire dragons amidst the flames. A dragon's roar echoed, as the fire dragons intertwined in the air, emitting bursts of intense spiritual light.
This scene instantly attracted everyone's attention, and then a dark, heavy boulder, several zhang in size, flew in from an unknown direction.
The two dragons seemed to have found their target, instantly entwining together, transforming back into the shape of scissors, and with a crisp 'crack,' the black boulder was cut in half. With two loud 'boom, boom' sounds, the boulder fell onto the jade platform, causing the entire platform to shake a few times.
“Oh, Black Origin Iron.”
“Indeed, this treasure is so sharp that it actually cut through a piece of Black Origin Iron with a single strike.”
Instantly, someone recognized that the severed black boulder was actually a piece of Black Origin Iron.
Zhang Ling also stared unblinkingly at the crimson scissors, pursing his lips. Black Origin Iron is a metal-attribute material, and magical treasures refined from this spiritual ore are inherently extremely hard, but these Dragon Scissors were even sharper, shattering such a piece of Black Origin Iron with a single strike, demonstrating their extraordinary power.
“Haha, this treasure is indeed a top-grade item, I wonder how it will be auctioned.” A cultivator suddenly asked, and everyone came back to their senses and looked at the enchanting woman.
The woman smiled charmingly, cast a magical technique, and the Crimson Dragon Scissors transformed back into a half-zhang size, slowly fluttering.
“Hehe, these Crimson Dragon Scissors were entrusted to the Azure Cloud Pavilion for auction by the Black Dragon King of the Flood Dragon race. This treasure is only exchanged for top-grade Void Spirit Stones. I wonder which fellow Daoist has this spiritual ore.” As soon as this woman stated the auction conditions, the scene fell silent instantly.
“Fellow Daoist, are you mistaken? Top-grade Void Spirit Stones, where can such materials be found in this realm?”
“Yes, it's better to change the exchange conditions. This humble one is willing to offer three million spirit stones to bid for this treasure.” After a moment of silence, someone began to bargain.
However, more cultivators, upon hearing the words 'top-grade Void Spirit Stones,' secretly shook their heads.
Zhang Ling also stroked his chin. Top-grade Void Spirit Stones were spiritual ores that had become extinct in ancient times. Even low-grade Void Spirit Stones are difficult to collect in today's cultivation world.
This is a material that stabilizes space, and its main use is to build teleportation arrays. Generally, teleportation arrays within ten thousand miles are sufficient with low-grade Void Spirit Stones.
Top-grade Void Spirit Stones are used to build large teleportation arrays that span millions of miles. Why would anyone want to collect this material now?
Moreover, it's a tenth-order demon king. Could it be that this demon king wants to repair a large teleportation array, or is he going to build one?
“This concubine has already said that this treasure is only exchanged for top-grade Void Spirit Stones. Fellow Daoists who do not have this material should not say more.” The enchanting woman softly rejected everyone.
Many cultivators took out various rare materials, wanting to exchange for this top-grade ancient treasure, but they were all rejected by the enchanting woman.
Suddenly, a slender figure wrapped in gray light silently flew onto the jade platform and took out a three-foot-long stone box.
Upon seeing this, the enchanting woman's charming face was also stunned, as she didn't expect that someone would actually have top-grade Void Spirit Stones. However, she still suspiciously took the stone box, opened a gap, and glanced inside. Then, with a 'pa' sound, she immediately closed the stone box.
“Congratulations to this fellow Daoist, this treasure is yours.” The enchanting woman revealed a smile. The slender figure wrapped in gray light, clearly also a woman, didn't say a word. With a wave of her hand, she kept the Crimson Dragon Scissors.
Then, this mysterious woman directly took out the Azure Cloud Pavilion's token, transforming into a ray of colorful light that enveloped her. Then, the cloud of mist above suddenly descended a golden light, shining on her body. After two breaths of time, the golden light dissipated, and this woman disappeared.
At the same time that the golden light covered this woman, golden lights also lit up in seven or eight other places. Several Core Formation cultivators also hurriedly disappeared, including two Core Formation中期 cultivators.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Ling sighed inwardly. The mysterious woman exchanged for the treasure and immediately used the token to teleport away. In his opinion, this was unwise and too obvious.
As expected, as soon as she teleported away, several old monsters followed. It would not be easy for the mysterious woman to escape.
The cultivators here could leave at any time, as long as they used the Azure Cloud Pavilion token to activate the formation of the venue, they could directly teleport away from this island and teleport to the outside of the colored mist.
If he himself wanted to leave, he might wait for a while, until most of the cultivators were attracted by other treasures before quietly leaving.
However, this was someone else's business. Zhang Ling only thought about it briefly before looking at the enchanting woman again.
This woman didn't care at all about the few cultivators who had just left. She smiled and held the cyan jade bottle, taking out a black-red object from it.
The second treasure to be auctioned, presumably, was no less valuable than the top-grade ancient treasure just now, and immediately attracted the attention of many cultivators again.
Scanning with his divine sense, Zhang Ling was stunned. The black-red object that this woman took out was actually a thumb-sized red date. He instantly sensed that this date was emitting a strong aura of vitality.
Generally, the power of vitality has a bloody aura, but this red date, when taken out, emitted a strange fragrance that made people feel intoxicated. It was clearly not an ordinary spiritual object, and Zhang Ling didn't recognize what it was.
“You may not have seen this spiritual object before, but you must have heard of its name. Blood Essence Date, a treasure brought out by the Pavilion Master of our Azure Cloud Pavilion, has the effect of increasing a cultivator's lifespan, even stronger than ordinary Longevity Fruits. It can increase lifespan by at least one hundred and fifty years. I believe you all know the value of this item, so this concubine will not say more. This item is only exchanged for supreme-grade spirit stones.”
“Blood Essence Date, did this old man hear correctly?”
“Hmph, supreme-grade spirit stones. Also, a treasure that is basically extinct.”
“Really, or is it fake?”
For a time, there were various voices, and the entire space was filled with noise.
Many cultivators shouted out in shock. Some people even questioned, not believing that such a spiritual object that could increase lifespan could be taken out.
Zhang Ling coldly watched all of this, his heart also shocked.
Previously, he had been to the Heavenly Abyss Secret Realm, where Longevity Fruits grew. The few Core Formation cultivators he saw at that time were probably going for the Longevity Fruits.
According to the records in the classics, Longevity Fruits can only increase a cultivator's lifespan by seventy or eighty years. Blood Essence Dates are even rarer longevity spiritual objects. He didn't expect to see one at this auction.
Generally, even if cultivators could obtain this kind of spiritual object, they would take it immediately. Why would they take it out for exchange?
Zhang Ling's divine sense constantly scanned the Blood Essence Date. The power of blood qi on it was very strong, and generally, treasures with strong blood qi are great tonics and also have a not weak healing effect.
Zhang Ling scanned this Blood Essence Date several times, and it was exactly the same as described in the ancient books. The Azure Cloud Pavilion dared to take out this kind of treasure in front of so many Nascent Soul old monsters, presumably it would not be fake.
However, the supreme-grade spirit stones to be exchanged for this item are not ordinary things either.
A supreme-grade spirit stone is not just a spirit stone, it can be considered a kind of heaven and earth treasure. In addition to containing extremely rich heaven and earth spiritual energy, it is said that it can also help cultivators break through major realms.
There is also a legend that if a supreme-grade spirit stone is placed in an area without spiritual energy, after a period of time, the spiritual energy in that area will increase several times, and even a medium-to-high-grade spirit stone vein will be produced.
After a burst of noise, the cultivators gradually calmed down, but no one actually went up to the jade platform to exchange for the Blood Essence Date. Presumably, no one really possessed supreme-grade spirit stones.
Zhang Ling scanned the entire field with his divine sense and also heard some people muttering. Several Nascent Soul old monsters were willing to exchange all their wealth for the Blood Essence Date, but they were all rejected by the enchanting woman.
He also noticed that the spiritual power on several old monsters was fluctuating, becoming somewhat erratic, and their aura was extremely unstable. Even the gray spiritual light covering their aura with Hunling Wood was almost broken through.
Those with unstable auras were all quite powerful. Several were in the mid-Nascent Soul stage. But in the end, these people calmed down and did not actually snatch the Blood Essence Date.
Zhang Ling knew that these old monsters were probably cultivators whose lifespans were nearing their end. And the only reason that could suppress them from not snatching the treasure was that the Azure Cloud Pavilion was not something they dared to provoke easily.
If this kind of treasure that could increase lifespan appeared in an ordinary transaction, these people would probably have snatched it long ago.
During these days on this small island, Zhang Ling had gained a deeper understanding of the Azure Cloud Pavilion from several Nascent Soul cultivators who had exchanged treasures with him.
The Azure Cloud Pavilion was naturally a huge force. There were at least a dozen demon cultivators like the enchanting woman with the strength of the eighth-order peak. It was said that the Pavilion Master was also a tenth-order Great Demon King, but he had not shown his face for thousands of years and had always been quite mysterious.
It was said that the Azure Cloud Pavilion had been in business for ten thousand years and had also experienced several riots. The most recent riot was more than two thousand years ago. It seemed that a late-Nascent Soul loose cultivator had snatched a heavy treasure and escaped.
But before long, he was directly killed by the cultivators of the Azure Cloud Pavilion, and the late-Nascent Soul loose cultivator's famous magic treasure was directly auctioned off at a later exchange meeting.
This kind of force was definitely not inferior to the human race's top ten sects. This was the reason why the many Nascent Soul old monsters were afraid.
After a full quarter of an hour passed, the enchanting woman also sighed and took back the Blood Essence Date. This treasure was considered a failure. The woman smiled charmingly, stretched out her jade-white hand, and pointed at the last golden foil paper, and then gently introduced it.
“What is recorded on this is a set of spirit treasure refining methods, called the Glazed Pagoda.”
As she spoke, the golden foil paper in her hand flashed with golden light, shooting out a ray of spiritual light, which transformed into strips of spiritual light threads, forming the appearance of a treasure, a nine-story small pagoda about ten zhang high.
Although it was only a pagoda phantom, the spiritual power fluctuations it emitted instantly were extremely strong, not inferior to the Crimson Dragon Scissors that had just been taken out.
The enchanting woman leisurely introduced the origin of this item. “This is a secret technique obtained by a fellow Daoist from the remains of an ancient cultivator in the Heavenly Abyss. Our Azure Cloud Pavilion has already found several refining masters to identify it. According to the method recorded above, if it is successfully refined, the power of the Glazed Pagoda can definitely reach the level of a spirit treasure.”
The woman waved her hand and took out another jade slip. A magic formula was cast on it, and the dense text on it floated out, forming a list of materials. “This method is only exchanged for the materials needed in this jade slip in this concubine's hand. Which fellow Daoist can take out more materials, this set of spirit treasure refining methods will belong to that fellow Daoist.”
Black Iron Wood over eight thousand years old,
Red Crystal Stone, Golden Light Rock,
Seven-Colored Coral Jade, Geng Metal, Radiant Spirit Crystal
When everyone saw this list of materials, they gasped. There were a full twenty or thirty rare materials listed on it, each of which was a rare top-grade material.
Looking at the nine-story pagoda phantom, the eyes of the cultivators became fiery. The final auction item brought out by the Azure Cloud Pavilion was actually the refining method of a spirit treasure.
Zhang Ling was a little surprised. He originally thought that the golden foil paper recorded some ancient cultivation method or secret technique. The refining method of a spirit treasure was not an ordinary refining treasure scripture.
The cultivators present at this moment were not ordinary people, so they naturally knew the value of a spirit treasure. Although it was only a refining method, it was enough to make people's hearts flutter.
The power of the magic treasures used by cultivators above the Golden Core stage was already not weak. Some powerful magic treasures could even move mountains and fill seas. A spirit treasure, simply put, was a spiritual magic treasure. Each one had its own uniqueness, and the refining methods were unique.
The enchanting woman looked at the fiery expressions of the crowd, chuckled, and with a wave of her hand, she cast several spiritual lights on the golden foil paper.
Instantly, the nine-story light pagoda, transformed by countless spiritual lights, became a bit more solid, as if it were a real treasure, and quickly rotated, emitting a low buzzing sound.
Seeing this scene, the enchanting woman seemed to be able to control the phantom of the pagoda. As she cast magic formulas on it, colorful glazed light floated on the Glazed Pagoda, transforming into a glazed radiance that shone throughout the audience.
Each time these runes flashed, they emitted strong spiritual power fluctuations, which shocked everyone. At this moment, Zhang Ling, like the other cultivators, was carefully examining the spiritual light emitted by the Glazed Pagoda.
All that could be seen were spiritual lights, and the runes emitted by the pagoda were also quite mysterious. He wanted to remember these runes, but he couldn't see them clearly at all.
