As the auction items went on stage one after another, the atmosphere at the scene became more and more heated, and time passed by bit by bit.
Han Li kept thinking about the Xuan Zhi Crystal, so he was not interested in the treasures in front. Just as he was a little anxious, he suddenly heard the auctioneer say,
"The next auction item is called the 'Time Breaking Pot'. It's a treasure with some power of the law of time. Any item hidden in it, whether it's an ordinary item or an Immortal Magic Treasure, can maintain its original appearance as if the passage of time has been blocked. Even if a million years have passed, there won't be the slightest change. The starting price of this item is 500 Immortal Essence Stones."
"510 Immortal Essence Stones." Soon, someone raised the price.
"520 Immortal Essence Stones …"
"I'll pay 550 …"
The price rose all the way, and it soon soared to 670 Immortal Essence Stones.
At this time, the black-robed man suddenly said, "700 Immortal Essence Stones."
After his large increase in price, there was a brief silence in the Kun Jade Building, but it was soon broken by another voice.
"710 Immortal Essence Stones," Han Li suddenly said.
The black-robed man on the second floor looked over and said, "720 Immortal Essence Stones."
"Seven hundred and fifty," Han Li said without hesitation.
The auction bidding was not always a steady increase in price. Sometimes, a sudden increase in price was to show one's position and determination to the competitor, so as to force the opponent to give up.
"760 Immortal Essence Stones." The black-robed man was obviously not frightened by Han Li.
"800."
Han Li once again raised the price by a large margin, causing an uproar in the White Jade Building. Almost everyone looked in his direction.
The black-robed man seemed to feel that it was not worth it, so he did not continue to raise the price.
"Is this item really so important?
Is it worth spending so many Immortal Essence Stones? "Master Jing Yang frowned slightly and asked.
"Fellow Daoist, you may not know this, but we alchemists often have to refine some special spiritual liquids. The price is extremely high, but we can't keep it for a long time.
If we can obtain this item, the Immortal Meta Stones we can save in the future won't just be 700 Immortal Meta Stones, "Han Li explained with a smile.
In fact, he wanted to try and see if this Time Teapot could store the green liquid or crystal grain condensed in the small bottle. If it could, then it would naturally be a joyous matter. If it couldn't, then it wouldn't be a loss to obtain an item of the Time Law that was hard to come by.
After Han Li acquired the treasure, the auction continued, and the subsequent treasures that appeared were all of higher quality than the one before them, so their prices were naturally also higher than the one before them.
All kinds of magic treasures appeared one after another, and the bidding became more and more intense. Among them, there were two things that could benefit the soul, and Han Li also participated in the bidding. In the end, the black-robed man seemed to be deliberately targeting him, and spared no effort to compete with him for every item. In the end, he bid for all of them at a high price.
Han Li didn't need these things as urgently as items of the Law of Time, and he didn't want to attract too much attention, so when the price exceeded his expectations, he took the initiative to give up.
Soon, six hours passed, and the auction was already more than halfway through, but the Xuan Zhi Crystal still hadn't appeared.
"Fellow Daoist Jing Yang, just tell me one more time, when will the auction for this Xuan Zhi Crystal start?" Han Li was really impatient from waiting, so he asked with a voice transmission.
Master Scenic Yang resisted the urge to laugh and replied, "The only thing that can make Fellow Daoist Li so anxious is this Flower Heart Stone.
Don't worry, if I remember correctly, it's the next auction item. "
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the auctioneer announce, "The next treasure is not an ordinary item. It was born in an abyss where ghosts and dead spirits gather. Although the surrounding environment is ferocious and filthy, it is untainted by the mud. It was born as the most spiritual thing in the world, and is called the Essence of Ten Thousand Souls. Just one of it can strengthen the soul of a Golden Immortal cultivator by 10% to 30%."
Just listening to the description made Han Li's heart tighten, and he couldn't help but frown. His gaze also involuntarily gathered on the stage.
"This item is the 'Ten Thousand Soul Grass', also known as the 'Soul Immortal Herb'. The starting price is 1,000 Immortal Essence Stones," the auctioneer announced loudly.
When Han Li heard that, he suddenly turned his head to look at Master Jing Yang with a puzzled expression.
The latter also had a surprised look, obviously not knowing why the auction order was suddenly disrupted.
"Fellow Daoist Jing Yang, what's going on?
Could it be that you remembered wrongly? "Han Li asked in a low voice.
"Although I'm a glutton, I don't think I'm wrong about the order of these mere hundreds of auction items. Moreover, it's the item that you, Fellow Daoist Li, are most concerned about.
Wait, I'll go and ask, "Master Jing Yang said somewhat awkwardly, and then he closed his eyes.
While they were surprised, the sound of bidding in the building had already risen one after another.
In a short while, the price had already been pushed up to more than 2,000 Immortal Essence Stones.
An item that could strengthen one's soul was also an unusually rare treasure for Han Li. With this item, perhaps it could play an important role in his cultivation of the Spirit Cultivation Technique.
After hesitating for a moment, Han Li couldn't help but be a little tempted and planned to participate in the bidding. However, at this moment, Master Jing Yang seemed to have communicated with someone through voice transmission. He opened his eyes and let out a big sigh of relief.
When Han Li saw this situation, he immediately swallowed the price that he originally intended to call out and cast a questioning look at Master Jing Yang.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Li, don't be anxious. Someone suddenly proposed to add this item. The next item should be the Xuan Zhi Crystal." Master Jing Yang laughed dryly and said to Han Li with a slightly apologetic tone.
"I see. Does this kind of situation happen often?" Han Li raised his eyebrows slightly and asked with some doubt.
"It hasn't happened before. Usually, the arranged auction list will not be added or deleted.
After all, adding an item at the last minute will require a last-minute appraisal, which will add a lot of trouble, "Master Jing Yang said after thinking for a moment.
"I've already waited for so long. What's the harm in waiting for one more?
However, it seems that the status of this last-minute addition isn't low. He actually enjoys this kind of privilege. "Han Li smiled and said indifferently.
"Hehe, who said it wasn't!
It is said that this last-minute addition is related to the supervising immortal envoy in the inner city. However, I think that this' Myriad Soul Grass' most likely belongs to the supervising immortal envoy.
If his cultivation hasn't reached that level, how could he casually take out such a treasure? "Master Jing Yang said with a chuckle.
Han Li nodded silently. His expression didn't change at all, but he forcefully suppressed the urge to raise his card and decisively gave up participating in the auction.
As the saying goes, there must be a reason for something abnormal. No matter where this item came from, he felt that something was not quite right.
After a fierce competition, the black-robed man finally obtained the "Myriad Soul Grass" at a high price of 3,500 immortal essence stones.
"The next treasure must be something that many of you have been looking forward to for a long time."
The auctioneer seemed to be quite excited because the previous treasure was unexpectedly sold at a high price. At this moment, the smile on his face did not diminish.
While he was speaking, a green brocade box was sent to the auction stage by a yellow-robed young lady. The jade box was pasted with several layers of restrictive talismans.
The young lady gently tore off the talisman on the box. The brocade box opened automatically and revealed a fist-sized green crystal stone.
The crystal stone emitted a green glow. It didn't look eye-catching. On the surface of the crystal stone, a flower-shaped pattern could be vaguely seen. It was deeply imprinted inside the crystal stone and looked natural.
A strange fragrance was emitted from the green crystal stone. Everyone present smelled this fragrance. Their internal organs seemed to be cleansed and their whole body felt comfortable.
There was a commotion on the stage. Many people let out sounds of surprise.
When Han Li saw the green crystal stone, his eyes immediately lit up and he slightly straightened his body.
"I believe that all of you here have recognized it.
That's right, this is the 'Mysterious Zhi Crystal Stone', also known as the Heart Flower Stone. It's the best material to refine elixirs that can expel evil Qi and break through Evil Decay. I don't need to explain what it means for Daoist friends who are about to advance to the Taiyi realm.
Moreover, this Mysterious Zhi Crystal Stone was extracted from a Mysterious Zhi Flower that was more than 200,000 years old. It is a treasure that we have spent a lot of effort to obtain. Everyone, please don't miss it. The starting price is 1,000 Immortal Meta Stones. Each increment must not be less than 100 Immortal Meta Stones, "the auctioneer explained and announced the start of the auction.
"1,000 Immortal Meta Stones," as soon as the auctioneer's voice stopped, a voice was immediately heard.
"1,100!"
"1,300!"
Immediately, a series of bidding sounds rose and fell, and it was a mess.
The Mysterious Zhi Crystal Stone was a rare treasure that could help one pass through Evil Decay and break through to the Taiyi realm. It was an extremely precious treasure to anyone. Even if they did not need it, they could buy it and leave it for others around them to use.
The number skyrocketed. In the blink of an eye, it broke through 2,000 Immortal Meta Stones.
At this price, there were suddenly fewer people bidding. The increase of the price also slowed down.
"Daoist Li, haven't you been looking for this thing?
Why haven't you made a move? "Venerable Jing Yang asked when he saw that Han Li did not move.
"I am determined to get this thing. The person who really wants this Mysterious Zhi Crystal Stone has not made a move yet. I naturally don't have to rush to make a move," Han Li looked around and said lightly.
When the bidding price broke through 2,500 Immortal Meta Stones, the scene paused for a moment.
The person who bid was a fat man dressed in flashy clothes. He did not look like a cultivator, but a businessman. He had two extremely beautiful female cultivators in his arms.
The two women took the tea and snacks beside them from time to time and fed them to the big man. The big man had a look of enjoyment on his face as he held the two beauties in his arms.
"Daoist Gui of the Treasure Heaven Trading Company has bid 2,500 Immortal Meta Stones. Is there a higher price?" the auctioneer said with a smile. His eyes swept around.
"3,000 Immortal Meta Stones!"
A lazy voice sounded. It was the black-robed man who previously bid for the Myriad Soul Grass. He actually increased the price by 500 Immortal Meta Stones.
Everyone present was buzzing with discussion. Although the Mysterious Zhi Crystal Stone was precious, it was already on the high side at this price.
"3,100." The fat man's face turned a little ugly when he heard this price. However, he still bid again.
"3,500!"
The black-robed man snorted and raised the price again. It was as if hundreds of Immortal Meta Stones were nothing in his eyes.
The fat on the fat man's body shook. His face darkened and he did not bid again.
When the two female cultivators saw the ugly expression on the fat man's face, they obediently sat at the side and did not dare to move.
"3,600!"
Another old voice joined in. It was a grey-haired old man who was playing with a small purple sword that was about four to five inches long. The body of the sword was flashing with purple electric light.
From time to time, a terrifying electric light flashed in this person's eyes, making people tremble with fear.
Han Li glanced at the grey-haired old man. This person's aura was huge. He was one of the people whose cultivation level he could not see clearly.
"Daoist Jing Yang, this person looks quite extraordinary. I wonder if you know him?" Han Li asked casually.
"This person is Feng Tianyao, a Taiyi Realm elder of the Purple Lightning Sword Sect in the northeast of the Black Mountain Immortal Domain. I didn't expect him to compete for this item. It seems that the price of the Mysterious Zhi Crystal Stone will soar to a very high level.
Daoist Li, you have to pray for your own good this time. "Master Jing Yang looked at Han Li with a slightly sympathetic expression and said.
