Taihuang Star Seal

Chapter 428: Feather of Heavenly Stone, the sudden dark horse!

"Two million middle-grade spiritual stones!"

"I'll give you 2.05 million!"

"Two million three hundred thousand!"

……

The successive record-breaking bids and the bustling and lively scene are enough to show how popular [Small Heavenly Tribulation Pill] is.

It is also because this item is 99% likely to be monopolized by the top-grade sects that it becomes so popular at the auction.

Many cultivators at the eighth and ninth levels of the Earth Crystal Realm are willing to pay a very high premium to get it!

In the end, this lower-grade Heavenly Rank [Minor Heavenly Tribulation Pill] was sold for 4.5 million medium-grade spirit stones.

This made many cultivators unable to help but click their tongues: "Tsk tsk, isn't this premium too high?"

"As far as I know, the price of an ordinary low-grade Heavenly Pill is between 500,000 and 600,000 medium-grade Spiritual Stones."

"Even with the two major features of 'scarcity' and 'live auction', the price of a lower-grade Heavenly Rank elixir has increased by two or three times its original price, which is already incredible!"

"And now, this [Small Heaven Tribulation Pill] is being sold at eight or nine times the price?!"

"It's really crazy..."

"Well, it seems that we must never underestimate the desire of the 'Earth Crystal Realm Peak' cultivators to overcome the 'Minor Heavenly Tribulation' and achieve the Heavenly Gate Realm!"

"That's right, especially those older people at the peak of the Earth Crystal Realm. They are willing to spend all their money just to get the [Minor Heaven Tribulation Pill] to gamble their future!"

"No matter what, it was a wise move for Tianci City to start with a [Minor Heavenly Tribulation Pill]."

"Look at the expectant eyes of the countless guests, that's the best proof of the excitement!"

"Well, once people's emotions are aroused, they will no longer be particularly rational and hold on to their wallets tightly..."

Among the guests, there were some who understood, but not many.

And for the host of this auction, this is exactly the effect they want!

Sellers who were hoping to make a fortune from the auction were also happy to see it happen.

As for those buyers who paid a considerable premium to get the items, it is a matter of mutual consent.

In fact, amidst the hustle and bustle that followed the roar of excitement, there were also many stern gazes hidden among the crowd, which inconspicuously swept across Box No. 79 where the [Small Heavenly Tribulation Pill] had just been purchased.

It's obvious what these people are thinking.

However, the cultivator who bought the [Small Heavenly Tribulation Pill] is definitely not a soft persimmon that can be bullied by anyone.

Otherwise, he would not have been qualified to enter the "Tian Zi Hao Zun Ge".

One side has set its sights on the [Small Heavenly Tribulation Pill], while the other side refuses to give in. In the end, a fierce battle is bound to break out!

This kind of thing has happened in every previous "Tianci Wanbao Auction".

Often within a month or two after the auction ends, there will be horrific casualties among the guests.

Many times, even the strong ones in the Tianmen Realm could not escape, and several people died at a time!

It may even implicate the forces behind each other, and a war between the two sides is not impossible.

In fact, this is the result of Tianci City's unremitting efforts to protect the privacy of guests, and the number of casualties is already considered small.

Especially those who can sit in the "Tian Zi Hao Zun Pavilion" -

Almost no one knows that the VIP who has obtained the "Secret Key of the No. 1 Pavilion" several days or even weeks in advance will enter the Pavilion area from which entrance on the day of the auction and which box he will eventually choose.

But there are always people who can use all kinds of strange means to lock on a target and then kill him...

A moment.

The female auctioneer on the stage waved her jade hand and took out a fist-sized, ice-blue stone with a layer of light white goose feathers on it. She said, "Next is the second lot: [Feather of Heavenly Stone]."

"As everyone knows, this is a rare material that can alleviate the 'killing power of the heavenly calamity'."

"And the one in my hand is even more extraordinary. The strength of its stone spirit is enough to rival the 'mid-grade heavenly stone', and even faintly touches the threshold of the 'upper grade heavenly stone'!"

"If there is someone who is skilled in setting up formations, he can insert this [Feather of Heavenly Stone] into the center of the formation and stand in the middle of it."

"Or if a cultivator who is proficient in refining equipment uses the [Feather of Heavenly Stone] as the main material, integrates it into armor, and wears it, it will greatly increase the chances of resisting the 'Minor Heavenly Tribulation'!"

"【Feather of Heavenly Stone】, starting price is 400,000 medium-grade spirit stones, or 4,000 high-grade spirit stones."

"Each increase in price must not be less than five thousand medium-grade spirit stones or fifty high-grade spirit stones."

"At the request of the seller, if two or more cultivators offer the same or similar amount, he will give priority to trading with 'Superior Spiritual Stones'."

"Okay, let the bidding begin!"

When the female auctioneer said this, many cultivators were surprised, and they also saw through the tricks of [Tianci City].

What surprised them was not the difference in the way the transactions were ultimately settled.

Anyone with a little knowledge will understand that when the ratio of high-grade spirit stones to mid-grade spirit stones is equal to one hundred, or there is a small difference, high-grade spirit stones will always be more popular than mid-grade spirit stones!

Therefore, it is completely reasonable for the seller to propose this additional condition.

What really made the guests complain was the two items that Tianci City put out one after another. They were full of routines.

"Okay, first a [Small Heavenly Tribulation Pill], then a [Heavenly Stone Feather]..."

"Is this the 'Tribulation Sale'? No?"

"The most cruel thing is that they actually presented the [Minor Heavenly Tribulation Pill] and [Heavenly Stone Feather] at the same time."

"In this way, the cultivators who missed out on the [Small Heavenly Tribulation Pill] before will definitely not want to miss out on the [Heavenly Stone Feather] and will bid like crazy!"

"After all, the number of treasures that can increase the success rate of the 'Minor Heavenly Tribulation' can be counted on one's fingers."

"It is very likely that the cultivators will miss this village and will never see this shop again."

“And the one who has already bought the [Small Heavenly Tribulation Pill] will probably not miss this [Heavenly Stone Feather].”

"Just as the female auctioneer introduced, if the [Feather of Heavenly Stone] is used properly, it can also greatly increase the success rate of transcending the tribulation."

“Even if we can’t find a celestial master who can transform the [Feather of Heavenly Stone] into a formation or refine it into a weapon, this stone itself has a great ability to resist disasters.”

"Although the effect of this stone alone is far from 15% of the [Small Heavenly Tribulation Pill], it is still no problem to reach 6% or 8%."

"If these two are added together, the success rate of overcoming the tribulation will be quite impressive!"

Just as the guests expected—

The cultivator in Box 79, who had previously spent a high premium and finally won a [Small Heavenly Tribulation Pill], now had greed in his eyes again!

“Although I have very few spirit stones left, I can’t just sit there and do nothing with the [Feather of Heavenly Stone] in front of me, right?”

He was very unwilling, and quickly made up his mind: "I still have some elixirs, talismans and the like here, let's try the form of 'barter'!"

"I remember that the 'Tianci Wanbao Auction' has always had a 'barter' bidding format. As long as the seller agrees and pays the corresponding amount of commission to [Tianci City], it will be fine."

"But if I do this, my identity will be exposed to everyone..."

The old man seemed a little confused.

It turns out that according to the rules of the [Heavenly Treasures Auction], if a cultivator wants to "barter", he must accept the inspection of the goods in public.

You must let all the cultivators participating in the auction see with their own eyes what "goods" you have brought out, and then Tianci City will come forward to make a fair estimate of its value.

Only in this way can other cultivators participating in the auction accept their defeat with full conviction.

Otherwise, the guests who are completely clueless when it comes to "barter" will inevitably wonder whether there is any shady dealings between [Tianci City] and the sellers?

"Damn it! In order to increase the chances of success, I'm going to risk it all!"

"At worst, once I get the stuff, I will immediately activate the [Instantaneous Miles Talisman] and leave this troubled place."

So, the old man decisively turned on the window light of the pavilion, took out many high-grade pills and talismans, and participated in the bidding.

All of his various resources added together could be worth five million mid-grade spirit stones!

In an instant, the price was raised to a rather "irrational" level!

"Oh my god, do you have to be so impulsive?!"

"The final transaction price of the [Minor Heavenly Tribulation Pill] that increased the success rate of the tribulation by '15%' was only 4.5 million medium-grade spirit stones."

"He is so reckless that he raised the price just for a piece of [Feather of Heavenly Stone] that can increase the success rate of breaking through the level by about '7%'?!"

"Humph, I don't think this guy has the ability to find a powerful person who can set up a 'mid-grade heavenly formation' or forge a 'mid-grade heavenly armor' to help him set up the formation and refine the weapon!"

"Yes, if he really has this ability, he must be from a certain 'superior sect', and naturally he would use such a crazy bidding method to bid for [Minor Heaven Tribulation Pill]..."

"No matter what, the price of five million mid-grade spirit stones is too high. Only a fool would continue to fight with this lunatic!"

"Well, according to the past performance of the 'Heavenly Treasures Auction', there will definitely be more good stuff in the future. The best thing to do now is to save the good spirit stones."

Just when everyone had stopped talking and the auctioneer was about to bring down the hammer.

The window lights of Pavilion No. 101 suddenly lit up, and then a voice as calm as the wind came out: "I will offer 6 million mid-grade spirit stones."

Wow?!

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.

Countless eyes were cast towards Pavilion No. 101 on the upper floor of Wanbao Tower, where the window lights were lit.

And that is where Ding Chen is!

Everyone couldn't help but wonder, who is this dark horse that suddenly emerged?
