Chapter 607 - 607 Soul Devouring Bag
607 Soul Devouring Bag
The Scorching Vermilion Bird Body did not have a grade, so Lin Mo could not determine its exact strength.
Nonetheless, there was no other way. After all, the rebate was still an incomplete art.
If Lin Mo wanted to know the specific grade of the art, he would have to wait until he finished cultivating it to make his own judgment.
“The next martial art is the ancient Qilin’s incomplete art, the Qilin Step.
“You must’ve heard of the legend of the Qilin. There are nine steps in total, and my martial art has recorded the first four steps. Although it’s not much, it’s powerful enough. It’s of heaven-grade tier 2.
“The starting price is 50 million high-grade spirit stones, and each bid must be no less than one million.”
Lin Mo said with a smile. His strongest attack was the Qilin Step. It could be said to be his trump card.
If it were not for the fact that he needed a more powerful art, he would not auction it off so easily.
After all, this was an incomplete technique of an ancient divine beast. Selling it was equivalent to having one more person know about this technique…
“50 million? That’s too expensive…”
Some people frowned. This was still not comparable to normal heaven-grade cultivation methods and martial arts, but this was an incomplete art, after all, and the conditions to learn it were very harsh. It was useless for ordinary people to obtain it.
“55 million.”
A bell-like laughter was heard, and the silence in the field disappeared in an instant. The people looked at a stone platform in the distance in surprise.
Mu Yuzhu and her maidservant were sitting there, watching the auction below with interest.
They were also interested in the Qilin Step.
Although an ancient divine beast’s incomplete art was not enough for them to go through great trouble, it was enough to make them tempted.
“56 million.”
“58 million.”
Mu Yuzhu was the first to make a bid, and this made many people feel a sense of crisis. They all started to bid.
In the blink of an eye, the price of the Qilin Step had been raised to 65 million.
From the looks of it, the price was still rising. Four other people were bidding. They were Mu Yuzhu, Zong Xuan, who had just successfully won the auction, the young master of the Green Dragon Clan, and an elder in a cloak.
The elder’s voice was old, but he did not look tired. He exuded a powerful aura that made ordinary people afraid to approach him.
“75 million. That’s almost the price of a regular heaven-grade martial art. Do you still want to fight for it?”
The elders said, his eyes under the bamboo hat coldly scanning the surroundings.
This included Mu Yuzhu and even Lin Mo, who was on the stage.
A cold killing intent reverberated in Lin Mo’s heart, and he could not help but frown.
He was just auctioning the art normally. Why did this elder want to kill him…?
Nonetheless, his deterrence was still very effective. At least, the young master of the Green Dragon Clan and Zong Xuan were no longer bidding.
On the other side, Mu Yuzhu looked at the elder with a faint smile and also chose not to bid anymore.
This shocked everyone as they looked at the elder.
Just what kind of identity did he have that could make Mu Yuzhu, who was on the Hidden Dragon Rank, back down?
The young master of the Green Dragon Clan and Zong Xuan of the Heavenly Fire Sect had to give in. After all, although they were strong, they could only be respected in Cloud State.
In the entire Northern Continent, they were not even in the top 3,000 powerhouses. On the other hand, Mu Yuzhu was ranked ninth on the Hidden Dragon Rank.
One could imagine how strong her combat power was.
Even so, she chose to retreat today…
“Since no one is bidding for it anymore, the Qilin Step will belong to this friend.”
Lin Mo did not care about that. As long as they did not go back on their word, he did not have any objections to whoever bid for the arts.
With that thought, he threw out the scroll, and the old man also threw out a pouch of high-grade spirit stones.
Lin Mo did a rough count. There were enough of them, so he was not suspicious.
[Soul Devouring Bag. Its appearance and aura are the same as a Spatial Bag, but it has the unique power of the Yin spirit.]
[Carrying it for a long time will cause one’s origin to be eroded by the power of the Yin spirit. The treasures contained inside can’t be easily absorbed and will be tainted with a special curse.]
As soon as Lin Mo stored the bag of high-grade spirit stones into the system space, the system’s voice was heard, which gave him a shock.
‘What’s the grade of this Soul Devouring Bag? The system didn’t mark it.’
However, its effects surprised Lin Mo. It had a unique Yin spirit power on it, and the treasures and spirit stones it carried could not be used as they would be bound by the curse…
“So ruthless. You’re planning to kill and rob me. Fine, you started it first. Don’t blame me.”
Lin Mo gritted his teeth. If it were not for the fact that the martial arts were not sold out yet, he would have attacked the elder right away.
“The next auction item is an incomplete art of the ancient true phoenix, the True Phoenix Nirvana Technique.
“This is an art used when a true phoenix is reborn from the ashes. It can be used to re-cultivate one’s realm and achieve the effect of being reborn.
“Long-term cultivation can also make one’s comprehension and talent stronger.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd burst into an uproar. They did not expect him to have such a precious martial art.
After hearing Lin Mo’s introduction, the elder from before suddenly turned around.
He was prepared to leave, but who would have thought that Lin Mo would take out such a precious martial art?
An art that allowed one to re-cultivate was very precious. As long as there were enough resources, even a mediocre person could be turned into a top genius.
It would be effortless to get onto the Prodigy Roll, and one might even be able to make it to the top thirty…
“He really did hide some good stuff. I’ll buy it. As for the last art, it’ll probably be the Kun Peng Wings or the Kung Peng Claws. The competition will be too intense. I’ll give those up.”
On the stone platform, Mu Yuzhu nodded her head in satisfaction. She had decisively given up on the Qilin Step. It lived up to her expectations.
She had no lack of offensive techniques, and the martial arts she had mastered far exceeded Lin Mo’s incomplete arts.
Therefore, she still needed more supplementary techniques like the Kun Peng wings and the True Phoenix Nirvana Technique.
“The starting price of the True Phoenix Nirvana Technique, the incomplete spell of the true phoenix, is 50 million.”
On the stage, Lin Mo announced the starting bid, which was the same as the Qilin Step. This was enough to prove its value.
“70 million.”
Before the crowd had the chance to call out their bids, Mu Yuzhu’s light voice was heard. She increased the bid by 20 million in one go.
This bid also made Zong Xuan and the young master of the Green Dragon Clan shut up.
The two of them thought for a moment and chose to back down.
There was one last martial art left. According to Lin Mo, it would be an incomplete art of the Kun Peng.
This was the Kun Peng Nest. Even if it was an incomplete version of the Kun Peng’s art, it was still enough to attract people to fight over it.
“Miss Mu has bid 70 million. Is there anyone else willing to bid?”
Lin Mo chuckled. Mu Yuzhu was bold enough to raise the bid by 20 million in one go, but the effect was pretty good.
Everyone was stunned, including the elder from before. He only watched the auction with cold eyes.
“Since no one else is bidding, then the True Phoenix Nirvana Technique will belong to Miss Mu.”
Seeing that no one else was speaking, Lin Mo did not hesitate and immediately announced the result of the auction. He handed the art to Mu Yuzhu.
“Brother Lin, that person was up to no good. Check the spirit stones before absorbing them.”
While Mu Yuzhu was trading with Lin Mo, her red lips parted slightly, and a soft voice was transmitted into Lin Mo’s ears.
Intentionally or otherwise, Mu Yuzhu glanced at the elder who had bid earlier…
