Chapter 235: Chapter 234 Seeing the Void Treasure Chest Again (Second Update, Please Subscribe)
Next, the dozens of treasures included flying swords, magical robes, battle armor, pill furnaces, spirit pills, and others.
These items couldn’t pique Old Ancestor Jin’s interest.
It was about half an hour later when finally a treasure captured Old Ancestor Jin’s attention.
"The next treasure is an earth element sacred object, the Earth Spirit Pearl!"
The female cultivator pulled away the red cloth, revealing a treasure pearl the size of a human head, "The starting price is two million spirit stones."
This treasure pearl was entirely earthy yellow, and at its appearance, there was a thick earth energy, with the energy of earth gushing about.
Old Ancestor Jin said, "You have fire, wood, and earth three spirit roots, fire and wood are vigorous, but only earth is a bit weaker, the Earth Spirit Pearl suits you, I’ll buy it for you!"
"Two million one hundred thousand!"
At this moment, a voice came from another room, it was a female cultivator dressed in red, her face covered with a red veil.
"Two million two hundred thousand!"
Old Ancestor Jin spoke.
"Two million three hundred thousand!" The red-clothed female cultivator showed no sign of backing down.
"Two million five hundred thousand!"
At this auction, there were over a hundred rooms, but most remained silent, clearly uninterested.
"Two million six hundred thousand!"
"Three million!" The red-clothed female cultivator increased the price by a large margin, seeming impatient.
"Three million one hundred thousand!"
Old Ancestor Jin laughed.
"Three million five hundred thousand!"
The red-clothed female cultivator spoke directly.
Old Ancestor Jin let out a long breath, put down his hand, "I need to spend big to buy a nascent soul pill, now I have no money. Three million five hundred thousand, exceeded my psychological expectation!"
"The opposite side is being competitive, but we can’t be competitive!"
Lu Xuanji laughed.
Old Ancestor Jin laughed at himself, "I thought I was wealthy, but today I realized I’m just a frog in a well. There are too many wealthy big shots!"
Lu Xuanji remained silent, but he muttered in his heart, these are not wealthy big shots, but wealthy second-generation cultivators.
Big shots consider the price when buying things, but second-generation cultivators don’t.
Once the "Earth Spirit Pearl" was sold, another treasure came up, it was a box, pink in color, with a feminine aura, with the words "Feiyu" engraved on the box.
"This is a void treasure chest. The kind of void treasure chest that might contain the treasures of a Divinity Transformation predecessor, or might contain something ominous, or might be empty. The key is to find the right way to open the treasure chest. If you don’t find the right way to open it and force it open, you might damage the items inside!"
"I won’t say much about other things, the starting price is one million spirit stones!"
The female cultivator said.
A void treasure chest is like a message in a bottle left by a predecessor, it might contain treasures, or might be empty, it’s all up to luck.
Of course, it might also be a fake made by later generations.
The Cultivation Immortality Realm lacks everything but not fakes, there’s an abundance of cultivators skilled in making fakes.
"This is..."
Lu Xuanji’s eyes were stunned.
"Do you recognize this treasure chest?"
Old Ancestor Jin asked.
"I recognize it!"
Lu Xuanji said.
"Two million, the void treasure chest is mine!"
"Two million five hundred thousand, fellow Taoist, I also want to study it!"
In one of the rooms, a cultivator spoke.
"Three million!"
Lu Xuanji shouted without hesitation, determined to win.
"Four million!"
In another room, another cultivator shouted.
"Six million!"
Lu Xuanji directly added two million, in a way that said, "I’m so rich that I’m left with only money, I’m a second-generation cultivator."
Throwing spirit stones to kill someone kind of vibe.
Instantly, many people fell silent.
"Six million, first time!"
"Six million, second time!"
"Six million, third time!"
"The void treasure chest is yours now..."
The female cultivator said, very pleased.
At an auction, many items have a corresponding price, if it’s too high, everyone will give up.
But second-generation cultivators don’t care about money and will compete out of spite, inflating the prices considerably.
For instance, the void treasure chest started at two million, went through several failed auctions, and no one bought it.
Now, it’s good, there’s a fool to pick it up, yet at an inflated price of six million.
After a while, the void treasure chest was sent over.
Lu Xuanji directly took out six million spirit stones and handed them over.
After the cultivator left, Lu Xuanji excitedly went forward, stroking the chest as if he were caressing a lover.
"Is this void treasure chest worth six million spirit stones?"
Old Ancestor Jin asked.
"Unspeakable!"
With that, Lu Xuanji opened his mouth and swallowed the void treasure chest into his stomach, storing it in the [Void Stomach].
If not for the wrong time and place, Lu Xuanji would have even planned to directly research how to open the chest.
Meanwhile, his phone was scanning.
[Item: Feiyu Treasure Chest]
[Restriction: The chest is made of Feathered Cyan Gold]
[Characteristic: Has the power of cause and effect distortion on it, making cultivators subconsciously ignore the chest]
[Opening method: Requires Taiyin Divine Water, female’s blood]
The auction continued, but there was nothing good afterward, just some rare spirit medicine, demon beast skeletons, fourth-grade spirit treasures, etc., precious to commander cultivators but just so-so to Golden Core cultivators.
The grand finale was up next.
"Nascent Soul Pill, starting bid at ten million!"
The female cultivator said.
Suddenly, the auction reached its climax.
"Twelve million!"
"Thirteen million!"
"Fifteen million!"
"Twenty million!"
When Old Ancestor Jin shouted out twenty million, many Golden Core cultivators fell silent.
The price of a Nascent Soul Pill fluctuates around ten to fifteen million, directly calling out twenty million was somewhat at a loss, not worth the loss.
There’s only one reason, that Golden Core cultivator doesn’t have much lifespan left and can’t wait.
In the end, Old Ancestor Jin got his wish and obtained the Nascent Soul Pill.
The auction was also announced to be over.
Back at the inn, Old Ancestor Jin said, "Originally, I didn’t need a Nascent Soul Pill, but after the Ninth Transformation, the foundation is more stable, I can only rely on the Nascent Soul Pill. I still have a Five Elements Fruit, I plan to use them together to increase the chance of breakthrough!"
"Old Ancestor, is breaking through here safe?"
Lu Xuanji asked worriedly.
"Safe, absolutely safe!" Old Ancestor Jin said.
"Old Ancestor, could I borrow a drop of your blood?" Lu Xuanji asked.
Old Ancestor Jin’s face turned gloomy, "What do you mean by this?"
"It’s just a drop of blood!" Lu Xuanji said, "What else could it mean?"
"In the Cultivation Immortality Realm, there are all sorts of curse techniques, which need the assistance of blood to be cast. When you’re outside, you must guard against letting your blood fall outside, to avoid others scheming against you, casting curses!" Old Ancestor Jin said, "You must understand the taboos involved!"
Lu Xuanji immediately said respectfully, "Old Ancestor, I was wrong!"
Old Ancestor Jin said, "This being the case, don’t speak such words to cultivators in the future, it’s a taboo!"
"But I really need a drop of Old Ancestor’s blood!" Lu Xuanji hesitated, "I need Old Ancestor’s blood to open the void treasure chest!"
He took out the pink void treasure chest and said.
"Opening this treasure chest requires two conditions, one is True Yin Water, the other is a female’s blood."
