Immortality from Taming Elephant

Chapter 546 - 243: Undefeated in a Hundred Battles, Auction, Becoming a Talismanist (3)

The aura of most people here should be above the Three Secret Realms.Since it is an auction, naturally there are not only items from Ziqi Hall, but also lots from some of Ziqi Hall’s partners.

What surprised Xu Guang was that the first person to take the stage was actually his previous opponent.

Ji Yueru cleared her throat.

"Our Yunlong City is dedicated to researching the unified synergy between Martial Dao and Qi Refiners, allowing Martial Artists to use the methods of Qi Refiners, and giving Qi Refiners more powerful methods."

Her voice was confident, carrying a sense of authority that could not be refuted, "Finally we succeeded. After sixty years of research by my fourth granduncle, two talismans came into being. One is the Green Talisman for Martial Artists, which allows Martial Artists to use Qi Force to perform the magic of Qi Refiners after use. The other is called the Martial Talisman, which requires a drop of blood from a powerful Martial Artist before use, and after activation, enables Qi Refiners to possess some strength of the blood donor for a short time."

The crowd watched with interest.

This indeed counts as an ingenious idea, but the effect, frankly speaking, isn’t as great as imagined.

Xu Guang wanted the talisman crafting magic technique from Ziqi Hall; things other than that were just for looking.

Although he wasn’t terribly lacking in virtual crystals at the moment, he had gained a lot of benefits from the round-robin tournament. Due to the viewing dividends, he had received as many as forty thousand virtual crystals, and that was even with many people conceding to him later, and not many watching his matches.

Otherwise, forty thousand virtual crystals might have more than doubled.

A little over an hour later, a man who claimed to be from Youfang City came on stage and took out something that greatly tempted Xu Guang.

"You all know the legends of our Youfang City. It is said to be the alliance place of the Ancient Nine Directions Demon Race Great Saints and the capital of the Ancient Nine Saint Nations. This bronze piece was obtained from there. I am not a Qi Refiner and don’t know the effect of this item. Please take a look and enjoy."

The man appeared very straightforward and composed.

Xu Guang’s eyes widened; he recognized the item.

He had two similar pieces in his hand. While the person said they didn’t know what the item was, it made Xu Guang realize its value.

The man’s cultivation was likely to be First Nirvana Realm, implying that those in the First Nirvana Realm couldn’t comprehend the content on the Bronze Fragment.

He couldn’t originally understand it either, but due to a fortuitous opportunity he encountered early on, with the help of that mysterious Stone Mirror, he barely managed to translate what it was.

Now it seemed that both the Bronze Fragment and the Stone Mirror were far more valuable than he originally thought.

Because of how the man from Youfang City introduced it, involving stories of the Demon Clan’s Great Saint Alliance and ancient relics, Xu Guang originally thought there would be many interested in the room.

Unexpectedly...

"Ten thousand virtual crystals."

As Xu Guang’s words fell, the entire hall turned silent, and some turned to look at him, seeing his young face, they shook their heads with a smile.

"Youfang City really is declining. Because of an unverifiable rumor, Youfang City has appeared at various auctions these years auctioning Ancient Demon Race Great Saint relics; if not eight hundred times, then a thousand ’

"That kid probably just came out, knows nothing. Those who do know generally won’t touch anything from Youfang City."

Xu Guang: ...

Sitting in the front row, Ji Yueru also turned around and saw Xu Guang. Ji Yueru raised her eyebrow slightly, somewhat surprised.

After thinking for a moment, she raised her hand to summon a messenger, wrote a note, and pointed at Xu Guang, indicating a female servant to send it over.

Xu Guang received the note, which contained some information on Youfang City, leaving him speechless.

If only he hadn’t bid ten thousand virtual crystals.

He smiled and nodded towards Ji Yueru in front of him, as a way of thanking her for her kindness.

Ji Yueru nodded back; the two exchanged greetings.

Xu Guang returned to his seat and continued to wait.

"This is a scene of martial performance by my Song Family’s ancestor, recorded with Shadow Jade. It is the currently recorded Second Grade Third Rank martial technique in the Northern Emperor Academy - the Dragon Interception Hand."

Martial technique?

Even a Second Grade martial technique.

But everyone’s enthusiasm was much higher than Xu Guang imagined.

It was eventually won by Ji Yueru for a price of twenty-three thousand virtual crystals.

"Although this martial technique is only Second Grade, it was personally created by Dragon Interceptor Mister of the Song Family. Dragon Interceptor Mister was just one step away from being a Saint back in the day. This image surely contains a trace of Dragon Interceptor Mister’s martial intent; if lucky, one could leverage the martial intent to break through to the First Nirvana Realm. It’s unexpected that the Song Family was willing to bring out this item."

"I hear the Song and Fang families had a conflict outside the city over some matters. They might be at the end of their rope."

With Xu Guang’s strong Divine Thought and having two gossip-loving people beside him, he didn’t mind overhearing their conversation.

Instead, he caught wind of a lot of interesting things.

The subsequent auction appeared somewhat boring.

There were indeed talisman crafting magic techniques available, but their values varied greatly; some crafting techniques that only Qi Refiners of the Second Secret Realm could make needed at least forty thousand virtual crystals.

Fortunately, Xu Guang didn’t need something so advanced; he just needed an opportunity to transition.

By the end of the auction, Xu Guang approached the people from Ziqi Hall and spent thirteen hundred virtual crystals to buy the basic version of the talisman crafting.

Afterwards, it was some scattered items from Ziqi Hall being sold, and guests began to disperse.

Xu Guang blended into the crowd and disappeared.
