Regarding Sha Spirit Masters, Ye Chu had only just begun his studies and knew very little. Please visit the official website for the latest free chapters of this book. Ye Chu had always wanted to find a Sha Spirit Master to guide him, yet he had not even seen a powerful one in person.
Because of this, Ye Chu could only slowly explore on his own. He was highly interested in all the cultivation techniques of Sha Spirit Masters! Although Ye Chu did not know what the pill refining arts of a Sha Spirit Master entailed, he was equally fascinated by them.
“The starting bid is five thousand! Even though it is a Sha Spirit Master pill forging art, taking it back could still yield valuable research. Perhaps it might even help the clan recruit a Sha Spirit Master, who knows? For more excellent novels, please visit…” Nuo Ran smiled sweetly, her red lips parting slightly, exuding endless charm.
Even so, this auction item fell into an awkward silence. To most people, the skills and techniques of a Sha Spirit Master were useless to them, so naturally no one would spend over five thousand Qingyuan Pills to bid for it.
As Nuo Ran looked at the item on the platform, wondering if it would go unsold, a voice suddenly rang out, “Six thousand Qingyuan Pills!”
Surprised by the voice, Nuo Ran looked over and saw a stunningly beautiful woman, who was exactly the maid sitting beside Ye Chu. This caused Nuo Ran to glance at Ye Chu in astonishment. She naturally knew that this was an item Ye Chu wanted.
“Is this young man a Sha Spirit Master?” Nuo Ran showed a hint of surprise. She looked straight at Ye Chu, then smiled again, a charming allure gracing her beautiful face. “Someone has bid six thousand. Will anyone go higher?”
Nuo Ran called out several times, but no one continued to bid. This brought a slight smile to Ye Chu’s face. He thought that although Sha Spirit Master cultivation manuals were rare, they were practically useless to most people, so no one would be willing to pay a high price.
Just as Ye Chu thought the item was his, a sudden voice rang out, “Six thousand five hundred Qingyuan Pills!”
Nuo Ran paused, looking towards the direction of box number three, surprised that he would place a bid. Although Nuo Ran was astonished, the smile on her face did not fade. “The young master in box number three bids six thousand five hundred…”
“Seven thousand!” Ye Chu instructed Yang Hui to continue bidding. He had gathered plenty of Qingyuan Pills, so spending them did not pain him. He glanced towards box number three, wondering who was competing with him. Could it be that they also had a Sha Spirit Master?
Yang Hui’s clear voice rang out, drawing the attention of many cultivators towards her. Gazing at Yang Hui’s bright and enchanting figure, the crowd was slightly stunned, their expressions turning captivated. However, even though many cultivators were dazzled by Yang Hui, they quickly restrained their gazes. Anyone who could casually bid seven thousand was someone they could not afford to offend.
Ye Chu had originally expected his opponent to continue competing with him, but after placing that one bid, the other side fell silent. After Nuo Ran’s charming and alluring voice called out several times, Ye Chu successfully won the auction for seven thousand.
…
This was just a minor interlude. The auction continued, and Ye Chu’s advancement pill was brought out for bidding. The price reached the astonishing sum of eight thousand Qingyuan Pills.
Ye Chu obtained the Sha Spirit Master manual, which truly was an introductory text on pill forging. Ye Chu examined it carefully and felt a sudden sense of clarity. It was as if a new door had opened before him.
Although this pill forging method was introductory, the explanations were exceptionally detailed. Many of the insights were completely new to Ye Chu, leading him to believe that the Sha Spirit Master who authored this rare copy must have been a formidable figure. Unfortunately, this rare copy was incomplete. It only contained the introductory section, with nothing found for the subsequent chapters.
As the auction proceeded item by item, Ye Chu and his group occasionally placed bids on a few pieces. The items presented grew increasingly precious. Some even sparked fierce bidding wars among the private boxes. Bidders called out prices recklessly, and as tempers flared, they began shouting curses and threats at each other’s boxes, almost ready to resort to violence.
Witnessing this scene, Nuo Ran’s smile grew even brighter. She gracefully observed the bidding frenzy among the boxes, listening to the pleasing calls of the bids.
After a sun and moon artefact was fiercely contested until the bidders were red faced and exhausted, Nuo Ran’s fair hands presented a new item.
The object was entirely emerald green and only the size of a jade plate. Holding it, Nuo Ran said with a smile,
“This item was recovered from an ancient ruin that is several thousand years old.
Within the ruins, there were heaven and earth artefacts, and this object was placed alongside them.
We call this piece green jade, though we do not understand what it actually is.
However, since it was stored with heaven and earth artefacts, it must be extraordinary.
My seniors and I have studied it for a long time but have yet to uncover its secrets. We only know that it is impervious to water and fire.”
As Nuo Ran explained, she raised the jade plate higher. With her movement stretching her posture, her neckline tightened, revealing a glimpse of a pale cleavage that was intensely alluring. It caused many people to tilt their heads back to stop fluids from dripping from their noses.
Many people’s attention had already shifted away from the jade plate and was fixed on Nuo Ran’s full, shapely, and mature figure.
“This item will be auctioned with no starting bid!” Nuo Ran gave a sweet smile, swaying her slender waist as she gently placed the jade on the high platform for display.
“The Bagua Diagram!” Ye Chu’s eyes widened, his mind deeply shaken.
This emerald jade plate bore the exact pattern of the Bagua Diagram.
Ye Chu stared blankly at it, his thoughts involuntarily drifting to the Divine Palace and the old madman.
He had encountered the Bagua Diagram twice before, and both times had been earth shattering events.
There were undoubtedly world shaking secrets hidden within it. The fact that a corpse resembling the old madman was buried within the diagram was particularly chilling.
In his previous life, Ye Chu had seen the Bagua Diagram many times, but he had merely treated it as a legacy left by ancient sages and never thought much of it.
However, in this world, after experiencing two unprecedented upheavals, Ye Chu knew that the Bagua Diagram held profound significance.
Ye Chu looked at the green jade stone but could not detect a single abnormality.
Yet precisely because of this, Ye Chu felt the object was absolutely extraordinary.
Ye Chu took a deep breath, his gaze fixed directly on the Bagua Diagram.
“Are you interested in it?” Ye Jingyun asked curiously.
Ye Chu did not answer Ye Jingyun, but instead looked at Yang Hui.
Yang Hui had seen the Bagua Diagram with him at the Divine Palace, so she surely understood its significance.
Sure enough, Yang Hui spoke to Ye Chu, “Young master! This thing might be related to the Divine Palace. We absolutely cannot let it go!”
The Divine Palace was a legendary existence, rumoured to be connected to the gods!
Although it was unclear if this was true, it was undoubtedly world altering.
If this green jade was truly connected to the Divine Palace and they managed to obtain it, they might just uncover the tip of the iceberg regarding the palace.
If that were the case, then everything would be worth it.
It would be far more precious than any heaven and earth artefact.
Seeing Yang Hui, who was usually submissive and quiet, suddenly speak with such certainty, Ye Jingyun was also deeply surprised.
She finally realised that this seemingly ordinary object might actually be a treasure.
When the green jade appeared, no one placed a bid.
Because most people did not know what it was, they had no intention of wasting their money on a stone whose purpose was completely unknown to them.
