Chapter 167: Half-Step Primordial Spirit Stage Cultivation!

“21,000 spirit stones!”

An old man at the peak Dao Foundation stage hesitated for a moment before placing a bid that exceeded the previous one by an entire 4,000 spirit stones.

“Xu Zhi is already reaching the end of his lifespan. He’s probably staking everything on this.” There were some people among the auction participants who knew the old man and gossiped about him in quiet tones.

“This price is already far beyond the market value for Divine Torrent Herb. If they keep bidding, it won’t be worth it.” The bidders began to shake their heads as they started to abandon all thoughts of bidding any further.

The few people who were still calling out bids hesitated, then they also gave up on contending for the Divine Torrent Herb.

Xu Zhi looked around him. Seeing no one raising the bid anymore, his face stirred with emotion. He looked unblinkingly at Wu Youcai, who was still standing there on the stage.

From the safety of his box suite, Xu Disheng sized up Xu Zhi.

His profound qi cultivation was genuinely at the peak Dao Foundation stage, but there was a deathly aura surrounding him. He clearly didn’t have much of his lifespan remaining.

Spending a ton of spirit stones to buy spirit herbs and fruits to extend his lifespan by a few years was a method that only treated the symptoms but not the root cause.

The only way he could live longer was to stake it all on a breakthrough to the Divine Core stage. His lifespan would then increase greatly, absolving him from his plight.

The Grand Auction’s first item, the extremely rare Divine Torrent Herb, was Xu Zhi’s only goal.

As long as he could buy it, then search for a Divine Core Spirit Master specializing in refining pills, he could refine the Divine Torrent Boundary-Breaking Pill. Then, his prospects of breaking through to the Divine Core stage would increase greatly!

Seeing no one raising the bid any further, a hint of disappointment flashed in Wu Youcai’s eyes. “21,000 spirit stones by first floor #76 for three stalks of Divine Torrent Herb. Are there any higher bids?”

These goods up for auction were brought in from different kinds of sources. As the auction hosts, they obviously wished for these items to be sold at a higher price so they could reap a greater profit.

“If there are no further bids, these three stalks of Divine Torrent Herb will belong to first floor #76,”

Wu Youcai said. He turned and hinted to the disciple next to him, who put the herbs into a jade bottle, walked over to Xu Zhi, and handed it to him.

Xu Zhi took out the spirit stones and handed them to the disciple. After taking the jade bottle, his expression filled with emotion. He got up and left the hall, not even bothering to participate in the rest of the auction.

“The second item is a complete Blood Shadow Coral, plucked straight from the Zhaoshui Tributary,” Wu Youcai announced, gesturing at the massive coral that had been carried onto the stage. “You all may have already read the description of this item and seen that this Blood Shadow Coral has considerable benefits for those cultivating Blood Dao cultivation methods. Starting bid of 1,200 spirit stones.”

“1,250 spirit stones.”

“1,300 spirit stones.”

… …

On the first floor, many people began to eagerly place their bids.

The first item, the Divine Torrent Herb, was naturally rare and its price wasn’t low either.

On the other hand, the Blood Shadow Coral was only useful to people cultivating Blood Dao cultivation methods, so its price was much lower.

Xu Disheng withdrew his gaze and turned to the side.

The woman in the white dress was still sitting next to him, watching Xu Disheng all this time. Seeing him suddenly look over at her, she blushed a bit and stuttered, “…Y-Young Master.”

Xu Disheng didn’t spare her much more than a glance. He picked up the jade slip on the table, noted down a few items, then handed it to her and said, “When these several items show up, let me know.”

The moment he finished speaking, he took out several spirit stones and went back to cultivating.

There were almost a thousand different items in the catalog of items up for auction. The Grand Auction lasted 7 days, so there was still a long time until the items that Xu Disheng was interested in would appear.

The items that came before those few items he was interested in were either incompatible attribute-wise or useless for Xu Disheng. If he continued to watch the auction, it would just be a waste of time for him.

When the woman took the jade slip from him, her own fair, slender hand accidentally brushed the youth’s hand, causing her heart to start racing. But by the time she looked up at him, his eyes were already closed and he was back in a state of cultivation. A hint of disappointment couldn’t help surfacing in her beautiful eyes.

As the Grand Auction continued on in the Grand Erudition House’s pagoda, there were radical changes taking place on Mingxin Mountain’s Falling Moon Peak.

A gigantic vortex of the power of heaven and earth spun in the air above the domain on Falling Moon Peak. The protective illusion spell over the domain was gone, and Celestial Tide Spirit Master was seated cross-legged in the middle of the air. A massive image of himself was projected behind him, imitating his appearance in an extremely lifelike manner.

Celestial Tide Spirit Master opened his mouth. The projected image of himself also did the same, and sucked in a powerful breath!

The power of heaven and earth within thousands of kilometers was sucked in like a whale’s breath, causing the massive projection to become even more lifelike.

The aura of the figure was shocking, and the oppressive might pressed down like the weight of the sky. The disciples within the range used their Spirit Tools and tried to bitterly resist the powerful might.

There were people whose cultivations were insufficient, and they were immediately pressed to the ground, vomiting up blood and losing consciousness.

On Mingxin Mountain Peak, Severing Meridian Spirit Master Feng Simiao was seated cross-legged in the hall. As he looked in the direction of Falling Moon Peak, there was a hint of admiration in his eyes. He muttered to himself, “Celestial Tide Spirit Master has successfully comprehended his Primordial Spirit. As of today, he steps into the Primordial Spirit stage. His future from this point on will be promising.”

Beside him, Jian Liangbi’s expression changed greatly. “Master, now that Celestial Tide Spirit Master is at the half-step Primordial Spirit stage, then that previous dispute between him and Ghost Dominion Spirit Master…”

The details regarding what happened to Xu Disheng in the Zhao Territory simply couldn’t be hidden from the Spirit Masters in authority in the Mingxin Mountain Range.

If Xu Disheng had really died in the Zhao Territory, then that would be the end of the matter. Ghost Dominion Spirit Master would only have to worry about covering up matters on the surface, but he wouldn’t suffer any repercussions. At most, he would have trampled on Celestial Tide Spirit Master’s face and incurred a bit of his resentment.

But Xu Disheng was stubborn and didn’t die. He used some secret unknown treasure to slaughter four Dao Foundation stage beings back to back and returned to the Shangqing Sacred Sect safe and sound.

In the past, Celestial Tide Spirit Master had always remained quiet, and all the other Spirit Masters thought that he had already swallowed this matter. But now that he reached the half-step Primordial Spirit stage, he could be considered among the two highest ranking people in the Mingxin Mountain Range. Now, he was practically on equal footing with Severing Meridian Spirit Master Feng Simiao.

Ghost Dominion Spirit Master was a Spirit Master belonging to the younger generation. Although he had the Zhao Clan from Wenyuan Mountain Range backing him, he was far too lacking compared to the Celestial Tide Spirit Master’s capabilities and influence in the Mingxin Mountain Range.

And now that Celestial Tide Spirit Master was at the half-step Primordial Spirit stage, Ghost Dominion Spirit Master had zero authority to speak before him.

All of the Divine Core stage Spirit Masters were looking in the direction of Falling Moon Peak with varying expressions on their faces.

At last, the giant projection of Celestial Tide Spirit Master finished sucking in the power of heaven and earth within a radius of several thousand kilometers. The projection became even more lifelike, as if it had truly gone from illusory to reality. But in the end, it lacked that very last bit, and wasn’t able to become completely real.

.

Celestial Tide Spirit Master opened his eyes. There was inexhaustible primordial water energy fluctuating within. A phantom image of colossal waves towering several hundreds of meters tall appeared behind him, shocking the heavens!
