When Han Li heard Wen Hua say "2,000 top-grade spiritual stones", he couldn't help but grimace and laugh bitterly in his heart.
The starting price was already so high. This Dao Pill was really shockingly expensive. At least with his current wealth, he didn't have to hope for it.
After Wen Hua announced the start of the auction, most of the people in the hall shut their mouths and held their breaths to watch. They all wanted to see who would win the Dao Pill in the end.
"2,000 top-grade spiritual stones!"
After a short silence, someone finally broke the silence. It came from a box in the southeast corner of the third floor. Judging from the voice, it was an old man.
Speaking of which, all the major forces in the Blackwind Sea Area had gathered here today. There were many people who were rich and interested in this Dao Pill. Immediately, someone else started to bid.
"2,200!"
"2,500!"
…
Without exception, these people who bid came from the boxes on the third floor.
In less than a dozen breaths, after seven or eight rounds of bidding, the price of this first-grade Dao Pill was easily pushed to more than 3,000 top-grade spiritual stones!
"4,000!"
A slightly fleeting female voice suddenly rang out, also coming from one of the private rooms on the third floor. Everyone present was dumbfounded, and it also temporarily suppressed all the other voices.
The entire auction site fell into silence again.
Han Li raised his eyebrows. He had some impression of this voice. It seemed to be the cultivator who bid for the Phoenix Blood Flame Jade Crystal.
"4200!" Another voice rang out, also coming from the third floor.
As soon as the voice fell, the ethereal female voice calmly bid an unbelievable high price.
"5,000!"
The other voice paused for a moment and didn't bid a higher price.
The whole place was boiling. Almost everyone's eyes were gathered on the box, as if they wanted to see what kind of existence this person was.
"5,000 top-grade spiritual stones, going once!"
"5,000 top-grade spiritual stones, going twice. If anyone is interested, please hurry up!
If you miss this opportunity, I'm afraid you might not get it again in a thousand years! "
"Sold!
Congratulations, fellow cultivator! "
With Wen Hua's final strike, the Dao Pill was finally won by the unknown mysterious cultivator.
This also meant that the Blackwind Sea Area's centennial auction had finally come to an end.
After Wen Hua exchanged some pleasantries, he quickly announced the end of the auction.
Han Li blended into the crowd and slowly walked out of the hall.
The surrounding people were still buzzing with discussion about everything they'd seen and heard in the auction, and they spoke endlessly of all sorts of things that they'd never heard of in the past. Especially the legendary first-grade Dao Pill at the end, it had even become the topic of conversation for most people.
Han Li listened to the clamor around him and the excitement on everyone's faces. In his heart, he had a deeper understanding of the rarity and preciousness of Dao pills.
After returning to the temporary cave dwelling, Han Li immediately activated all the seals and entered the secret room.
After sitting down in the secret room, he flipped his hand and took out the three Heavy Water Lightning Beads. He picked one up with two fingers and put it in front of his eyes to carefully look at it.
This seemed to be an ordinary black bead, and it was only the size of a dragon's eye. Its surface was always coiled with strands of black mist that didn't disperse, yet it didn't reveal the slightest bit of a special aura, causing others to be unable to discern its depth.
However, Han Li believed that based on the degree of pursuit towards this item during the auction, the might contained within this tiny Heavy Water Lightning Bead was absolutely beyond his imagination.
Of course, the reason he didn't hesitate to pay such a great price to purchase this item wasn't entirely because of this. It was mostly because he wanted to find out how to utilize the heavy water within it.
After all, even though he was able to utilize the heavy water now, if he didn't obtain the method, then its might would probably be inferior to an ordinary Spirit Treasure.
Han Li placed the bead flat on his palm, and after he closed his fingers, he carefully rubbed the markings on it and felt its texture.
After a short while, he slowly relaxed his palm while a strange expression appeared on his face.
In terms of material, this Heavy Water Lightning Bead was exactly the same as the Heavy Water Lightning Bead refined by his Earth God Incarnation. Moreover, where his finger touched it, he was able to notice some fine ravines that were fine like hair, and they intertwined to form numerous strange patterns.
Even with his vast knowledge, he couldn't see any clues.
After Han Li pondered for a moment, he closed his eyes slightly, and a strand of crystal silk suddenly extended out from between his eyebrows into the black mist, and then into the bead.
The inside of the bead seemed to be a world of its own. At first, it looked dark, but when he looked closely, he could see spots of black starlight. From time to time, there were strands of green and purple electric light constantly flashing.
At the same time, he could also feel the power of law lingering in it.
These three kinds of power were gentle together, but they were actually very harmonious and stable. There was a connection between them, and they were hidden. It was like a ferocious tiger that had accumulated all its power. Once the beast was opened, it would suddenly erupt and start a massacre.
After about half an hour, Han Li finally opened his eyes with his eyelashes trembling slightly.
He shook his head and sighed, then he put away the three Heavy Water Lightning Beads. He suddenly got up and went out of the cave house. He turned into a rainbow light and flew away. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared at the end of the sky.
…
On an uninhabited sea area tens of thousands of miles away from Black Wind Island, the wind was blowing, and the turbid waves were monstrous.
A green streamer flashed and stopped in the sky, and Han Li's figure appeared.
His Divine Thought suddenly expanded, and it instantly enveloped the sea area within a radius of ten thousand miles. He carefully explored.
After confirming that there was no abnormality around and there were no other cultivators, he flipped his palm and took out another Heavy Water Lightning Bead.
The green light in his palm lit up, and a strand of Celestial Spiritual Power was injected into the bead.
The surface of the bead lit up in green light, and the dense spirit patterns engraved on it also flashed slightly, then dimmed.
Han Li immediately threw his palm forward, and the black bead shot out without any fluctuation of aura. In a flash, it was thousands of meters away.
There was a loud "boom".
The Heavy Water Lightning Pearl suddenly exploded, and a black blazing sun that was as large as a mountain suddenly appeared out of thin air. Hundreds of azure and violet lightning bolts that were over 300 meters long appeared within it, and they emitted waves of crackling sounds. They were like numerous lightning whips that were waved by the gods, and they wantonly lashed out in all directions, and they revealed a horrifying energy of the Laws.
Wherever the lightning whipped, there was a violent buzz in the void, and it twisted and trembled crazily as if it was about to be torn apart.
Where the black sun reached, a huge deep pit appeared in the sea below, and the fish and water beasts inside were directly turned into powder.
In the next moment, the black blazing sun exploded once more, and it transformed into numerous black rays of light that swept out madly in all directions.
Han Li's body had already been covered by a layer of Real Ji Membrane. His eyes flashed with blue light, and he carefully observed every detail after the thunder bead burst.
The black glow spread in front of him in a blink of an eye. His pupils suddenly shrank, and he wanted to fly back.
But it was too late. He didn't fly far before he was caught by the black glow.
Chi chi chi!
The sound of countless raindrops hitting the banana tree sounded. In the black glow, there were countless black needles as thin as hair, piercing the Real Ji Membrane on the surface of his body.
The Real Ji Membrane flashed wildly, and it took a while for it to stabilize, and countless white spots appeared on the surface.
Han Li breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Real Ji Membrane was extremely strong and did not break. Otherwise, he would have been pierced by thousands of black needles at this moment.
Those black needles were condensed from Heavy Water, and their penetrating power was amazing. Even his body, if he didn't put any protection, he might not be able to resist it.
The sea below violently rolled, and a huge deep pit with a radius of nearly a thousand meters sunk.
Han Li's Spiritual Sense spread out, and he was shocked once again.
With the explosion of the Heavy Water Thunder Bead as the center, everything within a radius of more than ten miles was pierced by those Heavy Water needles, and all the sea beasts were killed.
Just the aftermath had such power, if he was directly affected by the black sun, even he would be seriously injured.
At this time, Han Li finally understood why this item would cause so many people to crazily compete for it when it appeared at the auction.
After a few breaths, the storm caused by the explosion gradually dissipated.
After feeling that the aura of the Power of Law had completely disappeared, Han Li's figure flashed, and he flew back to the center of the explosion of the Heavy Water Thunder Bead.
The air was filled with a smell similar to burnt coal, and it lingered for a long time.
The deep pit in the sea below had been refilled by the backflow of seawater, but one could still see the turbulent whirlpool formed by the aftermath.
A Heavy Water Thunder Bead worth hundreds of top grade spirit stones was used up just like that. If there were people who participated in the auction here, they would be so shocked that their eyeballs would fall out.
However, at this time, Han Li's face did not have the slightest hint of pain. He nodded slightly and remained silent.
After a long while, he seemed to have realized something and murmured to himself,
"This seems to be using the Power of Law to forcibly seal the power of thunder and lightning into the heavy water, and then use the Immortal Spiritual Force to suddenly release it, but …"
It seemed that he thought of something that did not make sense. His words stopped again, and the whole person fell into contemplation.
Judging from the process and the final result of the release of the Heavy Water Thunder Bead, if it was simply releasing the stored thunder and lightning and the Power of Law, it was absolutely impossible to have such a great power.
Han Li closed his eyes, and carefully recalled the scene in his mind over and over again. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, and he understood some of the key points.
At the moment when the Heavy Water Thunder Bead was released, the spirit restriction contained in it was activated, causing the thunder and lightning to scatter the heavy water, turning it into a heavy water dust containing a trace of the Power of Law, and constantly colliding in an area.
As long as it fell into this area, it would be like a foreign object that broke the delicate balance. It would be attacked by the heavy water, thunder and lightning, and the Power of Law at the same time. Not only would the body be suppressed and unable to escape, but it would also suffer the continuous impact that ordinary True Immortals could not resist.
Although he seemed to understand the general principle, Han Li still could not help but smile bitterly.
Previously, in order not to be contaminated by the Power of Faith, he did not accept the Power of Law in his body. Now he wanted to use it to refine this Heavy Water Thunder Bead, but he naturally could not do it.
However, he was not completely without gain. Through this observation, he also had a lot of new insights on the use of the heavy water.
After a moment of contemplation, Han Li flew into the sky again.
After flying for hundreds of miles, he landed on a small island with a radius of only a few miles.
After standing still, he flipped his palm, and the True Water Bag that contained the heavy water appeared in his hand.
Over the past three years, he used the small bottle of spiritual liquid to ripen the Soul Birth Flower, and at the same time, he refined crystal particles intermittently to help the Earth God Incarnation condense the heavy water.
