CHAPTER 307: AUCTION 3

[System, what is that slab?] Zhu Huang asked, looking at the auction item.

[Information will cost one hundred million spirit stones.] A voice sounded in Zhu Huang’s head.

’So expensive?’ The double wondered but still chose to buy the information.

A moment later, a load of information flooded his mind.

There existed seventy-two God clans in the early days of the world.

The progenitors of these clans were born as gods, and subsequent descendants, although not gods at birth, were supremely talented and had unique abilities that set them apart from other cultivators.

One of those clans was the Medicine clan.

Different from the Wood clan, which was naturally good at alchemy, the medicine clan could utilise spirit grasses, formations, talismans, inscriptions, weapons, treasures, poisons, and other things to create powerful medicinal pools.

As a result, their territory was known for its medicinal pools, and many cultivators would go there to practice, recover, or even exorcise their inner demons.

After studying the information, Zhu Huang raised an eyebrow and looked at the stone slab with a curious expression.

The characters on the stone slab belonged to the Medicine clan, and the system was reasonably certain the stone hid a medicinal pool inheritance.

Unfortunately, the system also warned that most of the inheritance would likely not be usable because the world was in decline and many good things had gone extinct.

’A medicinal pool inheritance is a good thing but I don’t necessarily need to have it. I will get it if I can and let it go if I can’t afford it.’ He thought with a relaxed expression.

Beside him, Xiao Weimin was also thoughtful.

Although he didn’t have a system, he was reborn from the God realm and had some knowledge of the ancient God clans.

At this time, he narrowed his eyes, looking at the stone.

’Medicinal pool inheritance.’ He thought and like Zhu Huang, decided to buy it if he could and let it go if he couldn’t afford it.

On the stage, Sun Cheng announced the start of bidding.

"One million spirit stones." Someone shouted.

"Two million." Zhu Huang offered and Xiao Weimin turned to look at him.

Less than a breath later, Xiao Weimin nodded and Zhu Huang smiled.

In the end, they were nine points in the same group.

As long as one of them got the inheritance, the other would also have it.

Unfortunately, Shen Xu was also interested in the stone slab.

"Three million." He shouted.

Hearing this, Zhu Huang looked at the opposite box and couldn’t help but be surprised.

After all, not many people were willing to buy a random stone for so many spirit stones.

Still, he didn’t give up.

"Five million." He offered but Shen Xu immediately countered.

"Ten million." He shouted.

At this point, other cultivators became uneasy.

It was not strange for cultivators to fight over unknown treasures.

However, the prices rarely rose so high or so decisively.

Considering this, many began to suspect that the people in the two boxes knew the origin and function of the stone.

As a result, more people joined the fight and the price soon rose to one hundred million.

Seeing that the opposite box didn’t back down, Zhu Huang stopped bidding and others also ceased.

In the end, Shen Xu bought the stone for one hundred and forty-five million but he didn’t regret it.

After all, a medicine pool inheritance was a precious treasure.

Even if they didn’t setup public pools to earn spirit stones, they could arrange them in the Chaos Flame space for their personal use.

After the stone slab was a batch of random things but Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu were not interested in them.

On the eighth lot, the purple book was finally put up for auction.

"This book has more than ten thousand pages but all the pages are empty." Sun Cheng started and quickly continued.

"Our appraisers have used countless methods but none has revealed any writing on the pages. We have also tried writing in it and contracting it using different forms of contract. However, the book can’t be written in and can’t be contracted."

"Finally, the book can’t be destroyed but it also can’t be used as a defensive weapon."

Hearing this, many people frowned and lost interest in the book.

After all, although it was mysterious, it was worthless if it couldn’t be used.

Also, many people had already exhausted their wealth on previous purchases and didn’t want to waste spirit stones on a seemingly useless book.

"Fellow Daoist Sun, what do you mean when you say it can’t be used as a defensive weapon?" Someone asked.

"The book can’t be torn, cut, burned, soaked, or destroyed in any way. However, if you try to use it to block an attack, the attack will pass through the book and hit you."

Several cultivators peppered up when they heard this.

Unfortunately, their excitement was bound to come to nothing.

"It’s logical to assume that the book has a weapon spirit. However, after years of testing, we didn’t find a weapon spirit or even a trace of consciousness."

After saying that, Sun Cheng announced the bidding details.

"The starting price is one hundred thousand spirit stones and every increase must not be less than one thousand." He said.

However, cultivators were not stupid.

Since the Myriad Treasures Pavillion exhausted all its resources and couldn’t handle the book, what qualifications did they have to try?

Thinking of this, everyone fell silent and waited for the bid to fall through.

However, Zhen Yuan specifically came for the purple book and would naturally not let it become an unsold item.

"One hundred thousand." He shouted.

At this, many people stared at his box with confused expressions.

Eventually, they shook their heads and no one fought Zhen Yuan for the ’worthless’ book.

Seeing this, Shen Xu smiled with a happy expression.

After all, no competition meant spending less spirit stones.

[Ayuan, we have finally got it.] The double said, looking at the book that was delivered to their box.

[Mmh.] Zhen Yuan nodded, smiled and sent the book to the Chaos Flame Space.
