Taihuang Star Seal

Chapter 429 The mysterious 101!

When Ding Chen gave his offer, tens of thousands of eyes present were all fixed on Box 101 where he was.

"The cultivator from the No. 01 Venerable Pavilion is truly wealthy and powerful. He raised the price by a million right from the start!"

"I just don't know who this person is?"

"Hey, I can't guess his identity, but I can be sure that he must be from a high-quality sect!"

"Brother Su, isn't that a bit too absolute?"

"Haha, then please think carefully, Brother Hou. Did anyone in Box 101 participate in the previous auction of [Minor Heavenly Tribulation Pill]?"

“Never participated.”

That brother Hou shook his head with certainty.

As a cultivator at the seventh level of the Earth Crystal Realm, if he doesn't even have this ability of spiritual perception and photographic memory, then he would have lived in vain!

"Then it's over."

"Uh……"

"What? Still don't understand?"

"Well, please teach me, Brother Su!"

The middle-aged male cultivator called Brother Su rubbed his temple speechlessly when he heard this: "Well, I will break the casserole pot and fight you to the end."

He cleared his throat and said with a wise expression, "Since this cultivator in Pavilion No. 01 is willing to spend six million mid-grade spirit stones on the [Feather of Heavenly Stone], it shows that he has a need to 'increase the success rate of overcoming the minor heavenly tribulation'."

"But he just turned a blind eye to the [Small Heavenly Tribulation Pill] which can even increase the success rate of overcoming the tribulation."

“Looking at the entire cultivation world, the only people who can do such bidding behavior as ‘throwing away the watermelon to pick up the sesame seeds’ are probably cultivators from ‘top-grade sects’ who can directly obtain a [Small Heavenly Tribulation Pill] from the sect once their Xuan Qi cultivation reaches the standard!”

"After all, taking [Minor Heaven Tribulation Pill] repeatedly is ineffective, but the success rate of [Heavenly Stone Feather] in breaking through the barrier can be added up with that of [Minor Heaven Tribulation Pill]."

"Yes!"

The younger cultivator suddenly realized: "Thanks to Brother Su for teaching me."

"Haha, no problem, no problem..."

At this time, on the stage.

The female auctioneer who was in charge of the auction was stunned at first, then immediately beamed with joy: "Six million, the VIP of Pavilion No. 101 bids six million mid-grade spirit stones!"

"Is there any higher bidder?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the cultivator who was "bartering" could not help but frown and hesitate secretly -

"The cultivator in the No. 101 Venerable Pavilion was indeed generous in his spending. It is obvious that he is a wealthy man."

"Even if I stake my entire fortune, I may not be able to defeat him!"

"Besides, I didn't have enough spirit stones, so I had no choice but to choose the 'barter' trading method, which has already exposed my face in front of everyone."

"If I continue to bid higher prices against this guy, I'm afraid he will hate me."

"After all, this person is most likely a strong man from a certain 'superior sect'. It is better not to offend him if you can..."

Thinking of this, he finally gritted his teeth and gave up the bidding.

As for other cultivators who were capable of bidding with Ding Chen and were not worried about exposing their identities and bringing trouble upon themselves, they also remained silent.

Because to them, although the [Feather of Heavenly Stone] is good, it is just a piece of material after all, and not a mid-grade heavenly-grade formation plate or weapon itself.

As a spiritual material that is not very effective when used alone, it does not greatly increase the success rate of breaking through the "Minor Heavenly Tribulation", but its price has been raised to higher than that of a [Minor Heavenly Tribulation Pill]!

Those who can afford the price will naturally make a rational consideration.

After weighing the pros and cons, their conclusion is always three big words: Not worth it!

So they all remained silent.

Seeing this, the female auctioneer on the stage also understood the principle of quitting while she was ahead, and raised the auction hammer in her hand generously, saying: "Six million medium-grade spirit stones for one time!"

"Six million middle-grade spirit stones twice!"

"make a deal!"

"Congratulations to VIP No. 101~"

"Do you want to make the delivery now, or wait until the auction is over?"

Cultivators who are familiar with the Tianci Wanbao Auction understand that there are also explanations for "instant delivery" and "centralized trading".

In order to get the items they bid for and leave as soon as possible, some practitioners will choose to "hand over the money and the items" immediately.

Some practitioners will choose to wait until the entire auction is over and conduct the transaction during the "centralized delivery" period between the buyer and the seller.

The main idea is to blend into the crowd, be the most inconspicuous passerby in the huge trading activities, complete the transaction silently, and then leave quietly.

They would even choose to stay in [Tianci City] for a few more days, and leave when they thought the storm had passed and they were safe enough.

Two different choices, both for the same purpose——

That is safety!

For Ding Chen, the "Spirit of Mutated Elements" that he wanted most on this trip has not yet been obtained, so of course he will not choose to leave immediately.

But he also hopes that what he has already bought can be put into his pocket safely.

So he said, "Let's trade now."

"Okay, we will activate the power of the formation and send the items to 'No. 101 Pavilion'."

The female auctioneer said very familiarly: "All you have to do is put the corresponding amount of spirit stones into the 'trading pocket' formed by the spirit of the formation."

"The entire process of us delivering the auction items and you paying the spirit stones will be broadcast live to all guests under the surveillance of the [Image Retention Formation] to ensure the fairness of this transaction."

"And you don't need to worry about your personal privacy being exposed."

"Because the formation we set up will only record the scene inside the 'trading pocket' in real time. We can't see or hear anything else."

In the next few moments, the buyer and the seller completed the exchange of money and goods in full view of everyone.

[Tianci City] confirmed that the quantity and quality of the spirit stones are correct.

Ding Chen also obtained as he wished, a rare spiritual material that has faintly touched the level of "top heavenly grade": the Feather of Heavenly Stone.

Although for other cultivators, a [Feather of Heavenly Stone] can basically only increase the success rate of overcoming the "minor heavenly tribulation" by 8%.

This is because whether using this [Feather of Heavenly Stone] as the main material to arrange a "mid-grade heavenly formation" or to forge a "mid-grade heavenly weapon", it would require considerable subsequent investment, as well as formation masters and weapon refiners of mid- and upper-grade heavenly realms.

Except for a few cultivators from top-grade sects, it was impossible for the guests present to command the formation masters and refiners of the middle and upper grades in the heavenly realm to set up formations and refine weapons for them!

As for the real top-grade sects, with their sect's heritage, although the [Heavenly Stone Feather] is rare, it is not worth them spending the price of "six million middle-grade spirit stones" to get it...

But for Ding Chen, as long as all the materials are available, it would be easy for him to use this thing to set up a mid-level heavenly formation that would help him break through the "minor heavenly tribulation"!

Even better, the spoils of war he had obtained previously had already provided him with most of the materials needed to set up the formation.

With the addition of this [Feather of Heavenly Stone], all the materials are only a stone's throw away.

"Next, please allow me to introduce the third lot to you..."

On the stage, the female auctioneer smiled and showed off again.

What she auctioned this time was a rare copy of a top-grade Xuan-level martial arts technique, and the response was still enthusiastic!

"Eh? Isn't this the technique that the master used to exchange for the 'Sanxin Golden Chi Gu' from [Tianci City]?"

Wei Sanniang blinked her eyes.

"Yeah, I wonder what price it can fetch?"

Liu Sisi's eyes were filled with the look of a curious baby.

After several rounds of fierce price wars, the final selling price of this martial arts technique seemed quite good to Wei Sanniang and Liu Sisi.

But for Ding Chen, even if the selling price of this skill was twice as high, it would still not be more valuable than the "Sanxin Golden Chi Gu" he had exchanged for before.

After all, the "Sanxin Golden Chi Gu" is the most important thing for him to refine nine [Small Heavenly Tribulation Pills]!

Next, the female auctioneer auctioned off hundreds of items one after another.

During this period, Ding Chen participated in a total of six auctions.

Not only was he extremely generous every time he made a move, but the things he bought with the help of spirit stones all had very similar effects.

This aroused the curiosity of many people.

"Which sect or school of cultivators are sitting in Box 01?"

"Why is he so keen on the spiritual materials for the 'Minor Heavenly Tribulation'?"

"Logically speaking, with a top-grade sect's foundation in this area... it shouldn't be like this!"

For a moment, Ding Chen, who was in the 101st Pavilion, became more and more mysterious in the eyes of everyone.
