Chapter 67: Sudden Change
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“This Thicket Rain Sword was forged by a master from a foreign land because of its high quality and its unique nature. This spiritual sword is defined as a top-notch spiritual sword that can be used by late-stage foundation establishment cultivators or early-stage golden core grand cultivators!”
The black-robed man placed the Thicket Rain Sword, which was shining with a golden light, in the middle of the stage. He explained the extraordinary nature of the Thicket Rain Sword in a loud voice, and its power attracted waves of exclamations from the entire auction house!
After all, this was different from the previous broken sect-protecting spiritual weapon. This was a spiritual weapon that could be used by a golden core grand cultivator!
In all of the Five Sects, the highest level of elders, even the sect leader, was only at the golden core stage!
In other words, the Thicket Rain Sword was currently the highest-quality spiritual sword!
It was even more precious than the worn-out sect-protecting spiritual weapon!
“This Treasure Pavilion is actually hiding something! A spiritual sword that can withstand the spiritual energy of a golden core cultivator is not common!” Su Lingyun said excitedly.
Zhou Yun looked at Su Lingyun. He rarely came into contact with spiritual weapons. If it was alchemy, he might have some knowledge. However, he had never come into contact with weapon refinement.
“The grades of spiritual swords are determined by the level of spiritual energy they can withstand from cultivators. Those that Qi cultivators can use are called elementary spiritual swords. What a foundation establishment cultivator could use is called an intermediate spiritual sword. And a spiritual sword that could withstand the strength of a golden core grand cultivator, even if it was only an early-stage golden core, could be considered a high-grade spiritual sword! Even my master, the sect master of the Spirit Valley, could only use a high-grade spiritual sword!” Su Lingyun looked at the Thicket Rain Sword with burning eyes.
If it wasn’t for the fact that she had promised to help Zhou Yun bid for it, she would have wanted to exchange it for another spiritual sword!
After listening to Su Lingyun’s explanation, Zhou Yun also looked at the cluster Thicket Rain Sword in excitement!
If he could exchange it for this spiritual sword, then his sword intent would be greatly improved! Coupled with the mastery of the sword control technique!
Zhou Yun believed that if he were to meet the spiritual corpses again, he would be able to kill them easily!
“Hmm, this is?” Zhou Yun felt his vision blur. A faint golden light did not shine on the Thicket Rain Sword, but directly into his eyes!
Zhou Yun covered his eyes. He realized that the golden light was coming from the black-robed man who was auctioning the Thicket Rain Sword.
Because everyone present was focused on the Thicket Rain Sword, and the golden light was too dim, no one noticed it!
Zhou Yun noticed that the black-robed man seemed to be saying something to him through the veil.
However, because of the veil, Zhou Yun could not see the black-robed man’s face, let alone the shape of his mouth.
“Don’t bid on this sword.” Suddenly, Zhou Yun heard a soft sound. He subconsciously gathered his spiritual energy and looked around.
However, he realized that there was no one in the room!
Zhou Yun looked at the black-robed man in the auction. He felt the voice coming from his mouth!
“What’s wrong, Junior Brother Zhou Yun?” Su Lingyun noticed Zhou Yun’s strange behavior. She asked as she prepared to pull out her spiritual sword.
“The black-robed man at the auction just reminded me not to bid for this spiritual sword.” Zhou Yun thought for a while and told Su Lingyun the truth.
“Don’t bid for it?” Su Lingyun squinted her eyes and looked at the auction list. There was still an unknown auction item.
“It looks like you’ve really received a lot of attention from Venerable Xunling. The last auction item seems to be a spiritual sword. He doesn’t want us to waste spiritual stones here.” Su Lingyun understood what he meant.
“However, aren’t you underestimating my wealth?” Su Lingyun smiled disdainfully.
“Junior Brother Zhou Yun, I’ll bid for two spiritual swords. You can play with them on your left and right! How dare you look down on me, Su Lingyun! If you can’t get it, I’ll write my name backward!” Su Lingyun took out a bunch of spiritual stones. The spiritual power contained in each of the spiritual stones made Zhou Yun’s heart palpitate!
Every single spiritual stone was overflowing with liquefied spiritual energy!
Zhou Yun estimated that a single spiritual stone here was equivalent to a hundred ordinary spiritual stones!
Once again, he was amazed by Su Lingyun’s wealth. However, Zhou Yun did not stop her.
After all, he couldn’t be happier to get another high-grade spiritual sword!
Even the elders of the Spirit Valley only earned a hundred spiritual stones a year. Some of the elders didn’t even have a suitable spiritual sword!
“The auction for the Thicket Rain Sword will begin now. The base price is 1000 spiritual stones, and each increment must not be less than 100 spiritual stones!” As the black-robed man began to explain, the entire auction house was in an uproar!
“1100! I’ll pay one thousand spiritual stones!”
“One thousand three hundred!”
“1500!”
“Three thousand! Poor people shouldn’t come here to join in the fun!”
“Five thousand spiritual stones!”
…
In just a few rounds, the price of the Thicket Rain Sword rose steadily, heading straight for the 10000 mark!
Zhou Yun was speechless. A golden core grand cultivator’s annual salary in the Spirit Valley was only a hundred spiritual stones. Even with the sect’s subsidy, he could only earn a few hundred spiritual stones a year at most!
Judging from the price, this Thicket Rain Sword was worth at least 10000 spiritual stones! This was the earnings of a golden core grand cultivator for a hundred years!
“Nine thousand three hundred spiritual stones!”
“I bid 9400 spiritual stones. Everyone, I’m the direct disciple of the Heavenly Star Institute’s sect leader. I’ve taken a fancy to this sword, so please give me some face!” A young man wearing a long green robe and waving a white feather fan stood out. He looked to be in his twenties or thirties, but he had a terrifying cultivation level of the late-stage foundation establishment!
“Bah! What is this Heavenly Star Institute? I’m the head disciple of the Myriad Flower School! I’ll pay ten thousand spiritual stones! Little brat, if you’re not convinced, come and fight with your Grandpa!” A brawny man with a huge iron pillar on his back stood up and sneered at the green-robed man without any restraint. His cultivation base had actually reached the terrifying perfected Foundation establishment realm!
Zhou Yun looked over and realized that the Setting Sun Sword Intent in his body had actually produced some resonance! Those two who claimed to be direct disciples and head disciples must have something similar to sword essence on their bodies, and it was not low either. At the very least, it was above the small success stage!
“Those are the disciples of the Five Sects of the same generation as me. We all entered the sect to cultivate ten years ago. I didn’t expect that I would stagnate for five years without breaking through to the golden core stage, but these few are still only in the foundation establishment stage.” Su Lingyun explained to Zhou Yun with a disdainful expression.
Zhou Yun looked at Su Lingyun. He was a little surprised because Su Lingyun had reached the perfected foundation establishment stage in just five years!
If it wasn’t for the fact that she couldn’t break through her inner demons, Zhou Yun estimated that Su Lingyun would be the youngest golden core grand cultivator among the Five Sects!
“Everyone, why do you have to make the scene so stiff? How about this, I, the mighty Hellfire, will also join in the fun. I bid 10100 spiritual stones, how about giving me some face?” A young man said with a smile.
To Zhou Yun’s surprise, he discovered that the youth who called himself Hellfire was the Lie Yanshan that he had met before! That scammer who swindled a few spiritual stones out of his stall!
