Chapter 59 Lightning Strike the Yin Wood! A Bountiful Harvest
When the auction reached the sixth item.
A top-grade magic artifact appeared on the field, of exceptional quality, causing a frenzy of competition among the cultivators present.
Prices have been rising steadily and climbing ever higher.
finally,
This high-grade magic artifact was aggressively purchased by a Foundation Establishment cultivator for a high price of 86,000 low-grade spirit stones.
As one rare item after another was put up for auction, the bidding became fierce.
The atmosphere at the black market auction grew increasingly heated and exciting.
All the cultivators present were filled with anticipation, each wanting to acquire one of the rare items.
But everyone knows that the black market auction has a powerful backer.
There was a powerful expert in the Golden Core stage in the room, so even though everyone was bidding fiercely, they only dared to keep their heads down and raise the price.
No one dared to make threats or cause trouble.
Anyone who dares to disrupt the auction rules will be expelled from the venue at best, and die on the spot at worst.
If you were killed on the spot by a high-level cultivator who was in charge of the area, you wouldn't even have a chance to reason with them.
An hour passes in the blink of an eye.
The auction welcomed its eighteenth item, which was also Chen Jie's long-awaited goal for this trip.
Thousand-year-old Yin wood!
"The eighteenth lot of this auction is a piece of thousand-year-old Yin wood, or more precisely, a piece of top-quality Yin wood that has been buried underground for three thousand years!"
Jin Dafu stood in front of the auction stage and introduced the items loudly.
He spoke with a firm and resolute tone: "This type of yin wood is extremely rare in the world, with very few existing specimens. Even if you have money, you'll find it hard to locate in ordinary markets!"
"However, the only drawback is that this piece of yin wood was struck by lightning in the past, and is also known as lightning-struck yin wood."
"After undergoing the tribulation of lightning, its pure Yin energy source was damaged, and its power was greatly reduced. It can no longer be used to make conventional magic tools, nor can it be used to refine corpse puppets, let alone grind it into ash to refine Foundation Establishment Pills."
"Its only use now is for crafting array flags or creating soul-refining banners!"
"Because it was struck by lightning, it retains the residual power of lightning, which doubles the power of the restriction when used to refine the array flags."
"If used to refine the Soul Refining Banner, it would be even more effective, greatly increasing its power!"
"With the main soul within the banner fused with the divine power of lightning, its destructive power will increase several times over, becoming incomparably domineering!"
"Fellow Daoists who are skilled in array formations or crafting soul banners should not miss this! This is an exceptional material that is extremely rare and hard to come by. If you miss this opportunity, you will hardly encounter it again!"
"Starting price: 2,000 low-grade spirit stones. Each bid must increase by at least 100 spirit stones. Bidding begins!"
Jin Dafu clearly explained the advantages and disadvantages of lightning-struck yin wood, and then announced the starting price.
Initially, many cultivators intended to compete for it.
but,
Upon hearing that this thousand-year-old piece of Yin wood had been struck by lightning and its essence had been damaged, they realized that it was a piece of ancient Yin wood.
For a while,
Many people immediately lost interest and gave up the idea of bidding.
The reason why Yin Wood is so valuable lies in its pure and profound Yin energy source.
After being struck by lightning, its original Yin energy dissipated, rendering it useless for alchemy, weapon crafting, and puppet making, causing its value to plummet.
However, this piece of lightning-struck, thousand-year-old Yin wood is the only supreme and rare find when it comes to crafting array flags or soul-refining banners.
Jin Dafu had barely finished speaking.
A hoarse, deep voice rang out first: "Two thousand one hundred spirit stones!"
The person shouting was wearing a straw hat and a black robe.
He deliberately concealed his physical appearance and took the lead in bidding.
Chen Jie stared at the three-thousand-year-old piece of lightning-struck Yin wood on the auction stage, his head buzzing.
this moment,
His mind was instantly thrown into chaos, and a turbulent wave of emotions surged within him.
To others, this piece of thousand-year-old yin wood struck by lightning is a flawed and substandard product.
However, for him, it was an excellent material for upgrading the Soul Refining Banner.
The absolute best!
He quickly took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the elation and restlessness in his heart.
He forced himself to remain calm and patient, not rushing to make a bid.
If you don't make a move, you don't make a move at all; but if you do, you must strike decisively and leave no room for your opponent to bid.
"Two thousand two hundred spirit stones!"
"Two thousand three hundred spirit stones!"
Several interested monks successively raised their bids, and the price steadily climbed.
Although the uses of wood struck by lightning are limited.
However, there was still no shortage of cultivators who crafted array flags vying for them.
However, once the price broke through five thousand spirit stones, there were very few bidders, and the enthusiasm plummeted.
Once the price broke through the 6,000 spirit stones mark, only three cultivators remained, still gritting their teeth and gambled.
One of the three was a mysterious cultivator wearing a gray robe and a mask, whose face and figure were completely hidden.
The other one was the first to bid, a black-robed, straw-hatted monk with a hoarse voice.
The last person was a female cultivator.
All three were determined to obtain the piece of wood struck by lightning and refused to yield an inch.
However, as prices rose, the three of them became extremely cautious with each additional bid, and their actions became less decisive.
If it hadn't been damaged by lightning.
This kind of three-thousand-year-old Yin Wood would be snapped up even for 50,000 spirit stones.
Six thousand spirit stones is already considered a high price; bidding any higher would be a loss.
The bidding soared to seven thousand spirit stones, and the female cultivator was the first to run out of money and had no choice but to give up the competition.
Only the gray-robed cultivator and the black-robed, hat-wearing cultivator remained locked in a stalemate, neither willing to give way.
The price quickly broke through eight thousand spirit stones!
Although both late-stage Qi Condensation Realm cultivators were determined to win, they were clearly finding it extremely difficult.
Each time they raised the price, they hesitated repeatedly, as their financial resources were already nearing their limit.
"Eight thousand five hundred spirit stones!"
The gray-robed cultivator gritted his teeth and raised the price again, his tone firm.
He put on an air of determination and unwavering resolve.
The black-robed, bamboo-hatted cultivator remained silent for a long time, clearly indicating that his spirit stone reserves were running low.
Faced with the high price of 8,500 spirit stones, even though he was unwilling, he had no choice but to give up and completely abandon the bidding.
Seeing his opponent retreat, the gray-robed cultivator secretly felt smug.
this moment,
He already considered this piece of yin wood as something he could have easily obtained.
But before his smile could fully bloom, just as Jin Dafu shouted twice, at the crucial moment when the hammer was about to fall and the deal was about to be completed.
In a secluded corner of the venue, a calm yet firm voice suddenly rang out.
"Nine thousand spirit stones!"
Chen Jie finally broke his seclusion.
He immediately raised the price by 500, exuding confidence and speaking calmly yet with an unyielding determination that left no room for negotiation.
"Damn it!"
The gray-robed cultivator cursed under his breath, his anger burning fiercely within him.
However, he dared not retaliate in the slightest, much less utter any threats.
He knew all too well that the black market auction house had strict rules, and anyone who dared to cause trouble in public would suffer a terrible fate.
At this moment, Chen Jie was wearing a straw hat, his face was covered with a black veil, and his body was covered with a disguise liquid.
His aura was completely concealed by the "Breath Concealment Technique," making it impossible for anyone to detect its depth.
Chen Jie made his offer instantly.
Several powerful divine senses swept over in succession, all trying to find out the background of this mysterious cultivator who had suddenly appeared.
Fortunately, the disguise potion and the breath-concealing technique worked together!
All attempts to probe with their divine senses were fruitless; they were unable to pinpoint Chen Jie's aura at all.
On the contrary, it made him seem unfathomable, and his cultivation level was impossible to judge.
All the cultivators present were stunned and shocked, speculating about the origins of this mysterious bidder.
have to say,
The concealment technique passed down by the evil cultivator patriarch Long Xiaotian was indeed incredibly effective.
The gray-robed cultivator was furious but dared not vent his anger; he could only glare fiercely in Chen Jie's direction.
He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said defiantly, "Nine thousand five hundred spirit stones!"
He also increased the price by 500 at once, which shows how important this piece of lightning-struck wood was to him.
But Chen Jie was determined to win and would never back down!
He immediately followed suit, raising the price by another five hundred, his voice firm and resounding: "Ten thousand spirit stones!"
At this moment, the bidding is not only a contest of willingness, but also a contest of solid financial resources.
No one dares to bluff and make arbitrary offers!
If you make an offer but are unable to complete the transaction, you're doomed.
The price of 10,000 spirit stones was completely beyond the gray-robed cultivator's ability to bear.
The gray-robed cultivator looked at the price quote, his face turning ashen and his eyes bloodshot.
He was consumed by rage, yet utterly helpless.
finally,
He could only shake his head and sigh helplessly, giving up the fight completely.
"Congratulations, fellow Daoist, on successfully bidding for the Thousand-Year-Old Lightning-Struck Yin Wood! Please proceed to the back-end trading platform!"
Jin Dafu brought down the gavel, speaking politely and offering his congratulations loudly.
Chen Jie calmly got up and walked towards the backstage of the auction.
The transaction was simple and efficient: one party counted and delivered the spirit stones, while the other party inspected the yin wood.
Both parties carefully checked and found nothing wrong, and the transaction was completed instantly.
Chen Jie carefully put the thousand-year-old lightning-struck Yin Wood into his storage bag.
His heart pounded wildly, and he couldn't hide his overwhelming joy.
This trip to the black market auction was a great success!
Finally, they obtained the treasure they sought, successfully achieving the purpose of their trip.
but,
The auction has strict rules; no one may leave before it ends!
After completing the transaction, Chen Jie suppressed his excitement.
Next,
He quietly returned to his seat and waited for the auction to end.
