Chapter 1945: Four Seas Spirit Protection Talisman

Most spirit rats lack powerful supernatural abilities. They are usually used for treasure hunting and often perish due to magical restrictions or strong enemies. Consequently, few cultivators raise high-level spirit rats, and the competition for this Spirit-Devouring Rat's inner elixir was not particularly fierce.

Wang Changsheng acquired this Spirit-Devouring Rat's inner elixir for 1.5 million. It's worth noting that a fifth-grade mid-tier Sea-Swallowing Rhinoceros's demon core only sold for 850,000 spirit stones, indicating that the reputation of the "Sky-Swallowing Rat branch" still attracted many people.

Whether the Twin-Pupil Rat could advance to the fifth grade was secondary; Wang Changsheng primarily hoped it would inherit the Spirit-Devouring Rat's bloodline abilities.

Sky Moon Cold Crystal is a sixth-grade refining material. A piece the size of a pigeon egg fetched a high price of 1.8 million, though the Sky Moon Cold Crystal Wang Changsheng possessed was much larger.

Li Yanchuan paid the spirit stones and put away the Thunder-Absorbing Pearl.

Chen Feng lightly flicked his sleeve towards the table. After a shimmering light passed, a pale blue bat wing appeared on the tabletop.

"This is the wing of a sixth-grade Azure-Winged Bat, an excellent material for refining flying treasures. The starting bid is 1.5 million spirit stones, and each increment must not be less than 300,000 spirit stones."

This bat wing could be used to refine a mid-grade Sky-Reaching Spirit Treasure for flight. Wings are considered the second-best refining material from a demonic beast, only after its demon core.

Sixth-grade demonic beast materials had already appeared, and the main auction items hadn't even begun yet. Wang Changsheng was full of anticipation for this auction. Besides bidding on items, he also planned to use this opportunity to broaden his knowledge. Many rare heavenly treasures he had only read about in ancient texts but had never seen in person.

This bat wing was purchased by Xu Yingying for a high price of 4 million. If refined into a Sky-Reaching Spirit Treasure, its price would undoubtedly be even higher.

Chen Feng then presented multiple sixth-grade materials, including beast bones, demon cores, and souls, all of which sold for high prices. Among them, the shell of a low-grade sixth-grade Glazed Tortoise sold for 7 million, as tortoise shells from demonic beasts are always excellent materials for refining defensive treasures.

The auction had already lasted a day and a half, and the grand finale items still hadn't appeared.

Chen Feng took out an exquisite golden jade box. When he opened it, a slender, shimmering flying needle was faintly visible inside.

"Next, it's time for the highlight items of the auction. The first highlight is a low-grade Sky-Reaching Spirit Treasure, the Golden Light Shadow-Evasion Needle. Refined primarily from Golden Glazed Crystal, it is incredibly difficult to guard against. The starting bid is 3 million spirit stones, with each increment not less than 500,000."

"3.5 million!"

"4 million!"

"4.5 million!"

Flying needles are deadly weapons for sneak attacks. However, such magical treasures are difficult to refine. Some demonic beasts have thick skin and flesh, making them hard to kill. Flying needle treasures can attack their eyes, making them effective for killing. Consequently, the competition for this Golden Light Shadow-Evasion Needle was fierce, and its price quickly reached 10 million.

"I bid 12 million."

A deep male voice came from a private room on the second floor. Wang Changsheng felt the voice was familiar; it seemed to be Yuan Lie.

On the second floor, in one of the private rooms, a brawny man in a green shirt sat casually on a stool. Four fifth-grade spirit apes stood by, and Yuan Lie was among them.

"Yuan Lie, don't get too engrossed in human artifact refining techniques. Our Green Ape clan's foundation lies in our physical bodies. If you refine your body to its peak, blocking a Sky-Reaching Spirit Treasure with your bare hands will be no problem."

The man in the green shirt admonished him, his voice full of authority.

"Yes, Seventh Uncle, your grandson understands."

Yuan Lie readily agreed. His study of artifact refining was not to abandon body tempering. Having a special skill made it easier to earn spirit stones, unlike his clansmen who either relied on spoils of war or the clan's provisions. The Green Ape clan valued body tempering but also used magical treasures. Most Soul Transformation stage clan members, when their magical treasures were damaged, would seek out Yuan Lie for repair.

"13 million."

"14 million."

This Golden Light Shadow-Evasion Needle was ultimately bought by Yuan Lie for a high price of 14 million. After purchasing this item, Yuan Lie didn't have many spirit stones left.

After the Golden Light Shadow-Evasion Needle was sold, Chen Feng took out a light silver jade box. From it, he retrieved seven light silver talismans. Each talisman was covered in profound silver runes, arranged in the sequence of the Big Dipper constellation, exuding astonishing spiritual energy. They were clearly fifth-grade talismans.

"This is a set of talismans, the Seven-Star Demon-Locking Talismans. Even a sixth-grade demonic beast would find it difficult to escape once trapped by them. The starting bid is 3 million spirit stones, and each increment must not be less than 500,000."

"A set of talismans!"

Wang Changsheng showed an interested expression. Like magical treasures, talismans also came in sets. In a way, a set of talismans was equivalent to a miniature formation, and they were quite popular due to their simple usage. Wang Ruyan was a fifth-grade talisman master, but she hadn't yet been able to create a set of talismans.

This set of Seven-Star Demon-Locking Talismans sold for a high price of 10 million. Able to trap a sixth-grade demonic beast, it could naturally also trap a Void Refinement cultivator. It was an excellent life-saving tool, though expensive and single-use.

Chen Feng then produced another silver jade box, from which he took out three misty blue talismans. Profound runes covered the talismans' surfaces, and a faint, piercing sound of a tsunami could be heard. Points of blue light suddenly emerged in the void, surging towards the blue talismans.

"Four Seas Spirit Protection Talismans!"

Someone recognized the talisman's origin.

"Exactly, these are indeed Four Seas Spirit Protection Talismans, a sixth-grade talisman. The more abundant the water spiritual energy in an area, the better their defensive effect. They can be used multiple times. The starting bid is 4 million spirit stones, with each increment not less than 500,000."

A sixth-grade defensive talisman was indeed an excellent life-saving tool.

Wang Changsheng spent 11 million spirit stones to buy one Four Seas Spirit Protection Talisman. Since he didn't have enough spirit stones, he had to sell a fist-sized piece of Sky Moon Cold Crystal to gather the necessary funds. After purchasing the Four Seas Spirit Protection Talisman, Wang Changsheng had few spirit stones left. He was already content, having bought many useful items. It was fortunate that he had obtained a large piece of Sky Moon Cold Crystal at the exchange fair.

Chen Feng flipped his hand and took out two exquisite white wine jars. The jars were crafted from a type of spirit jade, and the golden spirit wine inside was clearly visible.

The Seven Gourd Hermit sniffed a few times and suddenly became highly energetic, his gaze fixed on the white wine jars.

"This is the sixth-grade spirit wine, Golden Glazed Jade Dew, brewed from ten-thousand-year-old Golden Glazed Ginseng and hundreds of thousand-year-old spirit herbs. It has the effect of enhancing magical power. Both jars of spirit wine will be auctioned together, with a starting bid of 4 million spirit stones, and each increment not less than 500,000."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Seven Gourd Hermit immediately called out, "I bid 10 million!"

Spirit wines of the same grade can have different effects and thus different prices. These two jars of Golden Glazed Jade Dew could enhance magical power, similar to elixirs that do the same. Spirit wine brewed from ten-thousand-year-old spirit herbs naturally had extraordinary effects.

Wang Changsheng clicked his tongue in wonder, finding it truly extravagant to brew wine with ten-thousand-year-old spirit herbs.

The Seven Gourd Hermit spent 12 million spirit stones to acquire these two jars of Golden Glazed Jade Dew. This meant each jar cost over 6 million spirit stones. He immediately lifted a lid, and an extremely rich wine aroma instantly diffused. Wang Changsheng took a few light sniffs, feeling his body slowly warm up, his breathing quicken, and his head become somewhat dizzy.

The Seven Gourd Hermit gulped down a few mouthfuls, a wide smile on his face. "What a delight, haha!"

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, quickly cover the jars! The younger generation can't handle it. Just the scent alone is enough to intoxicate many Core Formation cultivators."

A deep male voice suddenly rang out. Spirit wine brewed from ten-thousand-year-old spirit herbs was naturally extraordinary. For low-level cultivators, merely smelling the sixth-grade spirit wine was enough to make them faint, and fainting was preferable to other effects.

The Seven Gourd Hermit nodded, unhooked a green gourd from his waist, and aimed it at the wine jar. The golden wine was entirely absorbed into the green gourd.
