Ling Dong also saw the state of the frontmost rows. He knew what they were here for. He also knew that it was time to bring the real treasures out. He announced, “Alright, the auction has been going on for some time. We’re at the final leg of the event. What will appear will be the last ten items in the auction. For the first of the ten items, The Nine Rings Silverwind Blade!”
An old attendant walked to Ling Dong’s side with a box. Inside the box was a blade without a scabbard. The blade was silvery white and it had large iron rings on its backside. Although it was a thick blade, it gave people a sense of lightness. At a glance, one could see that it was a good blade. It was even better than the blade that Leng Yue won earlier.
But obviously, this blade didn’t match Leng Yue’s temperament, so Leng Yue didn’t spare it a glance. He just sat in place with his eyes half-closed as if he was asleep.
As Zhao Hai looked at the blade, he turned his head towards the other rows. A few cultivators sitting in the second row were paying attention to the blade.
As Ling Dong took the Nine Rings Silverwind Blade out of the box, he said, “The Nine Ring Silverwind Blade is a product of our auction house. After getting a piece of silverwind iron, we specially invited a refining master from the Forbidden Path Sect to make a weapon. Silverwind iron is one of the lightest materials in the True Spirit Realm. But it is also one of the toughest materials. If it is used to create a weapon, the weapon will be very light but still hold up against other weapons. Most importantly, weapons made with silverwind iron carry a trace of wind power. If the nine rings aren’t present, the blade will be silent. If the rings were shaken by the wind, they would disrupt the enemy’s spirit. This can be regarded as a mental attack. Although the blade is large, it only weighs three jin(1.5 kg). It is the best blade for those who use rapid blade techniques. The starting price of the blade is 8,000 jade essences. Each bid couldn’t be less than 1,000 jade essences!”
This was quite an expensive item. However, nobody thought that the price was unfair. People immediately placed bids, with the exception of those in the front row. Finally, the blade was bought by a cultivator from the third row at the price of 18,000 jade essences.
The price wasn’t high, but one couldn’t say that it was low. The Nine Ring Silverwind Blade was worth its price. If there were more blade users present, the price might have increased even more.
After the Nine Ring Silverwind Blade was sold, Ling Dong waved his hand once more. Another old attendant came over carrying a tray with a jade bottle on top. The bottle was red. However, Zhao Hai discovered that the bottle wasn’t red, it was the pill inside. The medicine was too powerful that it stained its container red.
Ling Dong pointed at the jade bottle and said, “This is the Pure Yang Pill, a fire element pill. However, anyone with a spiritual root can take it. After taking it, there is a certain chance of breaking through a level of their realm. Naturally, the closer you reach the realm, the higher the chances of success. But please take note that this pill is only useful for experts below the Teleportation Stage. If a cultivator at the peak of the Earth Monarch Realm takes this pill, they are very likely to break through to the Teleportation Realm. His pill is very precious. The starting price of the pill is 10,000 jade essences. Each bid must not be less than 1,000 jade essences!”
Bang! The moment Ling Dong opened the bids, people immediately increased the price of the pill. The Pure Yang Pill was a very famous pill. Typically, it was only sold internally within sects. Rogue Cultivators almost never get their hands on it. The attendees didn’t expect the pill to be in the auction.Zhao Hai heard Ling Dong’s introduction of the pill but only gave it a glance. He had no intention of bidding. He knew very well that his situation was different from others. His spiritual qi concentration was ten times that of an ordinary cultivator. Adding to his other techniques, he needed to accumulate even more spiritual qi to break through. Even if the Pure Yang Pill has a lot of energy and could help Zhao Hai break through a minor realm, the refinement of the pill wasn’t very good. There are too many toxins within, which wasn’t suited for Zhao Hai’s tastes.
Although Zhao Hai didn’t place the Pure Yang Pill in his eyes, this didn’t mean that the rogue cultivators shared the same thought. For rogue cultivators, the Pure Yang Pill was an extremely rare find. Among those present, there were Earth Monarchs who had been stuck at the peak for more than ten years. To them, pills that can help them break through were incomparably precious. Therefore, when they saw the pill, the eyes of these cultivators immediately turned red.
The result of the bidding actually surprised Zhao Hai. This was because the person who won the bid wasn’t from the first ten rows. Instead, it was won by a middle-aged Earth Monarch at the common seats. The Pure Yang Pill auctioned at the highest price yet, at 30 thousand jade essences.
Zhao Hai wasn’t too surprised about the final price of the item. Tens of thousands of jade essences was nothing to him.
After the Pure Yang Pill, several pills and artifacts followed. Moreover, the final prices that they fetched weren’t low. There were even rare fist and footwork books. They were all sold at a higher price than the Pure Yang Pill.
Before long, nine of the final ten items have been auctioned off. Only the last item remained. Ling Dong waved his hand as two old attendants walked over. In their hand was a tray. On the tray, cushioned by yellow silk, was a red token. When the token was revealed, Zhao Hai felt the entire auction hall freeze. At the same time, the people in the front row became agitated.
Zhao Hai also felt Qin Feng’s heartbeat speed up. He looked at Qin Feng and said, “Brother Qin, what’s wrong?”
Without turning his head to Zhao Hai, Qin Feng muttered, “It’s the Bloodless Command Token. How can a Bloodless Command Token appear here? Is the Forbidden Path Sect insane? How could they sell the Bloodless Command Token in an auction?”
Zhao Hai raised his eyebrow and asked, “Brother Qin, what is the Bloodless Command Token?”
Qin Feng turned to Zhao Hai and smiled bitterly, “The Bloodless Command Token is a token that the Forbidden Path Sect releases to sect elders. If a sect elder discovers a rogue cultivator with potential, they will give the rogue cultivator a Bloodless Command Token. This token will allow a rogue cultivator to enter the Forbidden Path Sect without any assessment. What’s most precious about the token isn’t just this. Those who hold the Bloodless Command Token will have the opportunity to enter a secret realm for a trial.”
Speaking of this, Qin Feng drank a glass of water before adding, “There are plenty of secret realms in the True Spirit Realm. Some realms are cultivation caves of powerful beings. Some secret realms even contain the remains of powerful cultivators. Some are naturally formed worlds. These realms would open once every tens or even hundreds of years. After opening, one could hold a special token to enter the realm. The Forbidden Path Sect accidentally discovered a secret realm that held the remains of an ancient great power. I don’t know how big the realm is, only those holding the token can enter. There are countless treasures inside. As long as you can come out safely, your strength would certainly increase. It is an important place of trial for the Forbidden Path Sect.”
At this time, Ling Dong also introduced the token, “I think everyone already knows what this is. Right, this is a Bloodless Command Token. Every ten years, the Forbidden Path Sect would release 100 Bloodless Command Tokens to disciples for them to take a trial on the Blood Demon Realm.”
“What everyone doesn’t know is that the Forbidden Path Sect also releases Bloodless Command Tokens outside. Most of the time, these tokens will be silently taken by various powers and small sects. Because of this, nobody knows that outsiders can also enter the Blood Demon Realm. At the same time, participants of the Blood Demon Realm trial can enter the Forbidden Path Sect.”
“What I must tell everyone is that everyone can enter the Blood Demon Realm, not just disciples of the Forbidden Path Sect. Every ten years, only a thousand people can enter the Blood Demon Realm. Two hundred of these slots belong to the Forbidden Path Sect. The other Great Sects also have their own quota. The rest will be released outside for smaller powers to get.”
“This time, our auction house was able to get its hands on one token. Anyone who can get their hand on this token can join the Forbidden Path Sect and then join the Blood Demon Realm trial a year later. This is also an opportunity that the Forbidden Path Sect gave to the rogue cultivators. The Bloodless Command Token will start at the price of 50 thousand jade essences. Each bid cannot be less than a thousand jade essences!”
The price caused Zhao Hai to stare. But the Bloodless Command Token has attracted Zhao Hai’s attention. At the same time, he noticed the people at the front row begin to focus. Various people around the auction hall also became quiet. All these people were spread out throughout the seats.
The entire auction hall became very silent. Everyone was staring at the Bloodless Command Token. If the two old attendants weren’t at the Teleportation Stage, those present would have taken the gamble and tried to rob them.
Seeing that everyone was focused on the token, Ling Dong said, “The bidding can begin.” After that, he no longer said anything. The Bloodless Command Token was famous within the Forbidden Path Sect’s territory. There simply was no need to sell it to the audience. He already said what he could say. Now, he was waiting for someone to bid. Ling Dong was sure that the Bloodless Command Token would fetch a very high price.
A short silence ensued as everyone was thinking about the appropriate price to bid. Seeing everyone contemplating, Zhao Hai smiled faintly as he raised his hand and said, “60 thousand jade essences!”
