Chapter 904: Chapter 578: Core Acquired, High Grade Spiritual Artifact—Immortal Golden Bell! (Part 2)
He holds the Leaving Fire Tripod in his hand, along with the artifact refining legacy of the Li Huo Sect.
As long as there are suitable materials, crafting a magical treasure himself is not a difficult task.
Moreover, a magical treasure crafted by oneself can be more effortlessly controlled.
Once he has comprehended the "Seven-Star Sword Formation," he can attempt to forge a set of flying swords for the formation himself.
"Next up is what everyone has been most looking forward to; it is also the last treasure of tonight."
Just as Lu Qing was pondering this in his heart, the Venerable Zhenbao, after auctioning off a low-grade spirit artifact, began to speak aloud.
Immediately, everyone’s spirits lifted, knowing that the highlight of the night was finally here.
Not only the cultivators in the hall below, but even the many Primordial Spirit Great Powers in the VIP rooms above straightened their bodies, with solemn expressions on their faces.
Lu Qing also withdrew his thoughts and began to watch the scene below.
"It seems everyone can already guess." The Venerable Zhenbao paused and then continued, "Yes, the treasure to be auctioned next is this one."
With that said, he waved his hand, and a treasure appeared, attracting everyone’s attention.
It was a bell-shaped magical treasure, a golden bell, dazzling and revealing an immortal aura.
Although it appeared to be only palm-sized, the aura it emanated caused everyone’s heart and spirit to tremble.
"This treasure is called the Immortal Golden Bell, an item of a venerable senior, specially entrusted to us in Tianshu City for auction."
Venerable Zhenbao began to narrate the origin of the Golden Bell Treasure.
While everyone listened, they also felt a chill in their hearts.
To be addressed as a venerable senior by a Primordial Spirit Great Power like Venerable Zhenbao, it must be a supreme great power who has walked a very long path in the Primordial Spirit Realm.
However, this is normal, as only such beings would have the audacity to auction even a high-grade spirit artifact.
"This Immortal Golden Bell, is an immaculate high-grade spirit artifact." Venerable Zhenbao continued, "It can both attack and defend; it is a powerful spirit artifact combining both attack and defense.
As for its specific powers, the fortunate one who wins the auction will experience it firsthand."
Venerable Zhenbao gave a brief introduction to the Golden Bell Treasure, then paused to give the audience some time to react.
Indeed, after hearing his introduction, all the great powers in the VIP rooms were shocked.
"An Immortal Golden Bell, a high-grade spirit artifact combining attack and defense!"
"It is not what we speculated, a possibly flawed high-grade spirit artifact, but perfect and flawless?"
"A perfect and flawless high-grade spirit artifact combining attack and defense; we must seize it!"
"Immediately contact the Family Head; at all costs, we must win this treasure at auction!"
A group of great powers, their heart and spirit trembling, immediately decided to go all out to win this spirit artifact.
"A perfect and flawless high-grade spirit artifact combining attack and defense, Brother Ling Xiao, I fear we will not be able to contend for it."
In the room where disciples of the Qiankun Sect were, Gongshu Zheng sighed, "Those top tier forces are probably going to go crazy now."
Qian Lingxiao’s expression was somewhat grim.
He understood that what Gongshu Zheng said made sense.
If the Immortal Golden Bell is indeed as perfect as Venerable Zhenbao described, those top tier forces are bound to bid with all their might.
The spirit stones in his and Gongshu Zheng’s hands simply couldn’t compete.
Yet Qian Lingxiao was still somewhat unwilling to resign.
He asked in a deep voice, "If I inform the sect, and Brother Zheng you inform the Gongsu Family, could our two houses possibly win the Immortal Golden Bell together?"
"The two houses working together?" Gongshu Zheng was first stunned, then shook his head, "Brother Ling Xiao jokes, if our two houses join forces, there is indeed a slight possibility.
But do you think your sect master and elders of the Qiankun Sect, and the ancestors of the Gongsu Family would agree?
Even if the spirit artifact is won, who would it belong to?
Could it possibly fall into our hands?"
Qian Lingxiao was silent.
He knew that Gongshu Zheng was correct.
The two of them had a good personal relationship and trusted each other, so it was naturally no problem to join forces to contend for the Immortal Golden Bell.
But the Qiankun Sect and the Gongsu Family couldn’t be expected to trust each other in the same way.
Thus, what he just said was virtually impossible to achieve.
Even if, hypothetically, the two houses jointly won the Immortal Golden Bell, such a powerful supreme treasure couldn’t possibly end up in their hands.
Thinking this through, Qian Lingxiao chuckled bitterly, "Brother Zheng is right, I was too fixated."
"It’s understandable for Brother Ling Xiao to be agitated; high-grade spirit artifacts are too precious, who wouldn’t be tempted by them?" Gongshu Zheng laughed.
Yan Qingzhu, standing silently behind them, had been quietly observing and listening to their conversation, her eyes flickering slightly.
"Immortal Golden Bell?"
When the Venerable Zhenbao released the Golden Bell Treasure, Lu Qing had activated his superpower and looked toward it.
After a while, seeing the dense superpower light of such a dark purple that it was almost tangible, and the several lines of floating information.
Gradually, an odd glint appeared in his eyes.
"This high-grade spirit artifact seems to be anything but simple..."
Looking at the lines of information in his vision, a hint of amusement appeared on Lu Qing’s face.
He was already somewhat looking forward to what would happen next.
"All fellow Daoists, please quiet down for a moment."
Below, the Venerable Zhenbao estimated that everyone had almost digested the information, and then spoke again.
The entire venue immediately quieted down, all eyes firmly fixed on him.
"It seems everyone is already anticipating the starting bid for this treasure."
The Venerable Zhenbao, sensing the attention of the crowd, smiled.
"Old man won’t keep you in suspense any longer.
The starting bid for this Immortal Golden Bell is ten million low-grade spirit stones.
However, that venerable senior also stated that he only accepts high-grade spirit stones.
Which means this treasure’s starting bid is one thousand high-grade spirit stones!
Each bid must increase by not less than one hundred pieces of high-grade spirit stones!"
Ten million low-grade spirit stones!
But when the cultivators below in the hall heard this number, they all shook violently.
Although they had anticipated that the price of a high-grade spirit artifact would be extraordinarily high.
But upon hearing the number ten million, they couldn’t help but be shocked.
It should be known that this amount of spirit stones is equivalent to the entire accumulation of some medium-sized sects.
Even some first-class sects, if not good at management, might not have much more spirit stones accumulated internally than this.
And this is just the starting bid.
Soon, the honored guests in the VIP rooms above would inevitably start bidding frantically.
It’s unimaginable to what extent the final transaction price would escalate.
The great powers in the VIP rooms, however, had another reaction.
"Only accepting high-grade spirit stones? Does the owner of the Immortal Golden Bell intend to make a larger breakthrough?"
A Primordial Spirit Great Power was inwardly shaken, murmuring.
Some Primordial Spirit Great Powers thought thoughtfully, "It seems the one who put the Immortal Golden Bell up for auction must be at least a four-tribulation existence."
"Needing to auction such a treasure to gather high-grade spirit stones, could the owner of the Immortal Golden Bell be a loose cultivator?"
As soon as they heard that bidding for the Immortal Golden Bell required payment in high-grade spirit stones, many in the Primordial Spirit Realm immediately had many conjectures.
Some Primordial Spirit Great Powers showed expressions of hesitation.
High-grade spirit stones are strategic resources, one of the metrics for measuring a power’s foundational strength.
Mobilizing so many high-grade spirit stones all at once, even for these top-tier forces standing atop the Heavenly Origin Great World, is a matter worthy of careful consideration.
Moreover, the fact that a supreme great power might use a large amount of high-grade spirit stones for a breakthrough is very significant news to them.
However, feeling the aura revealed by the Golden Bell Treasure below.
The hesitant great powers’ faces became determined again.
A perfect and flawless high-grade spirit artifact is extremely rare.
There aren’t many such items in the entire Heavenly Origin Great World.
Missing this opportunity, who knows when the next one will come?
Spirit stones can be amassed again, but such supreme treasures are incredibly hard to encounter a second time.
Immediately, with the Venerable Zhenbao’s announcement of the start of the bidding.
The frenzied auction began.
