Chapter 2202: Immortal Golden Boy, Five Elements Thunder Xiao Talisman

The Golden Shark Sword, a Mid-Grade Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure, can release illusory sounds to confuse enemies. Its specific power depends on the user's cultivation and magic power; the deeper the magic power, the greater the illusion's strength.

Lin Xin took out a golden, shimmering flying sword. The sword measured three feet three inches long, and its blade featured a row of sharp teeth that gleamed with a chilling light. A miniature shark pattern was carved into the hilt. As he gently wielded the Golden Shark Sword, a loud roar, reminiscent of a shark's cry, echoed from it, causing the void to subtly vibrate and distort.

Mid-Grade Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasures are inherently rare. Wang Changsheng was not currently capable of refining such treasures himself; the several Mid-Grade Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasures he possessed were all acquired through fortuitous encounters.

"The Golden Shark Sword has a starting bid of ten million spiritual stones, with each subsequent bid incrementing by no less than two million."

The moment Lin Xin finished speaking, bids immediately began.

"Ten million!""Twelve million!""Fourteen million!"

The Golden Shark Sword attracted bids from numerous Void Refinement cultivators. Its price escalated dozens of times, ultimately selling for an exorbitant sixty-eight million spiritual stones.

"A senior cultivator has insufficient spiritual stones and intends to auction off some items. We are only providing the venue and will not charge any fees. However, we are not responsible for any misjudgments regarding the items."

After speaking, Lin Xin stepped aside. A three-foot-tall boy in golden robes descended. His face was ancient and deeply wrinkled, resembling an infant that had aged prematurely.

"The Ageless Golden Child!"

Someone recognized the golden-robed elder. While Granny Tianxue achieved a youthful appearance through a unique cultivation technique, the Ageless Golden Child was different; he was born with this appearance. The Ageless Golden Child was a rogue cultivator at the Void Refinement stage, a wanderer with no attachments.

Without further ado, the Ageless Golden Child produced over a dozen demon cores. Most were fifth-tier, but three were sixth-tier, including one with a lightning attribute. Wang Changsheng purchased the lightning-attribute sixth-tier demon core for four million spiritual stones. The Qilin Turtle had performed well in recent years, and Wang Changsheng intended to reward it. While consuming the lightning-attribute sixth-tier demon core wouldn't immediately elevate the Qilin Turtle to the fourth tier, it would certainly aid its future advancement.

The Ageless Golden Child paid for the item and departed with the Golden Shark Sword. For a rogue cultivator, managing to acquire a Mid-Grade Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure for over sixty million spiritual stones was already a significant feat; it was unlikely they would have much spiritual currency left for further bidding.

"Next is the Cloud Sea Banner, a Mid-Grade Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure."

Lin Xin produced a small, blue-glowing banner. With a gentle flick, countless blue mists surged forth, forming a thick blue water curtain that enveloped and protected her.

"This treasure is available for exchange for an earth-attribute Mid-Grade Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure or an item of equivalent value."

Wang Changsheng had little interest, as he already possessed eighteen Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, which were comparable in quality to the Cloud Sea Banner. Fifteen minutes later, Lin Xin sighed and put away the Cloud Sea Banner; it had gone unsold.

Lin Xin then retrieved an exquisite golden jade box and pulled out a five-colored talisman. Its surface shimmered with countless flickering five-colored electric arcs.

"That's the Five Elements Lightning Extermination Talisman!"

Someone recognized the talisman, and the breathing of many Void Refinement cultivators quickened. The Five Elements Lightning Extermination Talisman is a sixth-tier talisman. A Void Refinement cultivator possessing one significantly increases their chances of surviving the Great Heavenly Tribulation. However, its effectiveness is limited to those who have undergone fewer tribulations; for cultivators who have already faced four or five tribulations, its utility is greatly diminished.

Wang Changsheng's gaze grew fervent. If he could acquire this Five Elements Lightning Extermination Talisman, Wang Ruyan would have no trouble passing the Six-Nine Thunder Tribulation when she attempts to reach the Void Refinement stage. An item as precious as the Five Elements Lightning Extermination Talisman would certainly not be auctioned for spiritual stones.

"One Five Elements Lightning Extermination Talisman is offered in exchange for a miraculous elixir or spiritual medicine that assists cultivators in breaking through to the Integration stage." Lin Xin's voice echoed throughout the venue.

Typically, Void Refinement cultivators possessing elixirs or spiritual medicines that aid in reaching the Integration stage would not trade them for a Five Elements Lightning Extermination Talisman. However, a Void Refinement cultivator who has already faced several Great Heavenly Tribulations might consider it.

The hall fell silent, quiet enough to hear a pin drop.

"It can also be exchanged for treasures of equal value, such as a Mid-Grade Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure, a seventh-tier pill, or a tribulation-substitute treasure."

Wang Changsheng narrowed his eyes, picked up the communication disk from the table, and contacted Lin Xin. "How about I exchange a Mid-Grade Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure, the Three Flame Spirit Extinguishing Spear, for this Five Elements Lightning Extermination Talisman?"

He had acquired several Mid-Grade Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasures in the Profound Spirit Grotto-heaven, and the Three Flame Spirit Extinguishing Spear was one of them. In terms of value, a Mid-Grade Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure far outpriced the Five Elements Lightning Extermination Talisman, given that the talisman becomes useless once its power is expended. Nevertheless, Wang Changsheng deemed it worthwhile. Acquiring a Five Elements Lightning Extermination Talisman would significantly increase Wang Ruyan's chances of passing the Six-Nine Thunder Tribulation. Should Wang Ruyan successfully navigate the Six-Nine Thunder Tribulation, the Five Elements Lightning Extermination Talisman's power might not be fully expended, allowing it to be preserved for Wang Qingshan's attempt at the Void Refinement stage. This made the transaction highly advantageous.

Most Void Refinement cultivators were fortunate to possess even one Mid-Grade Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure; those with several were exceedingly rare. Consequently, few Void Refinement cultivators were willing to trade such a treasure for a Five Elements Lightning Extermination Talisman.

Lin Xin communicated with the owner, who eventually agreed to the exchange with Wang Changsheng. Wang Changsheng successfully acquired the Five Elements Lightning Extermination Talisman and handed the Three Flame Spirit Extinguishing Spear to the auction house. The other participants, sealed in their private rooms and only able to view the main hall, had no idea who had made the exchange.

Wang Changsheng put away the Five Elements Lightning Extermination Talisman and cautioned Wang Qiuya, "Qiuya, this matter must not be leaked, understand?" If the news leaked, it would lead to disaster. Of course, anyone attempting to confront the Wang family would first have to contend with Zhenhai Palace.

"I know nothing, and I saw nothing," Wang Qiuya obediently replied.

At this moment, Lin Xin produced a pair of feathered wings, shimmering with a continuous red glow.

"These are the Wind Fire Wings, a flying Mid-Grade Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure, crafted primarily from the wings of a sixth-tier Wind Fire Beast. When a Void Refinement cultivator fully utilizes them, even ordinary Integration stage cultivators would find it difficult to catch up."

Lin Xin's tone held a hint of envy. Flying Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasures were already rare, and if these Wind Fire Wings were put up for auction in spiritual stones, their final price would undoubtedly exceed one hundred million.

"This treasure is offered in exchange for the Nine Thunder Spirit Transformation Talisman."

"What? Exchange for the Nine Thunder Spirit Transformation Talisman? Even Integration stage cultivators would desire such a talisman! Only a fool would trade the Nine Thunder Spirit Transformation Talisman for a Mid-Grade Heaven-Piercing Spirit Treasure."

"They should really change the condition! It's too demanding."

"Precisely. With the Nine Thunder Spirit Transformation Talisman in hand, an Integration stage cultivator's chances of surviving the Great Heavenly Tribulation significantly improve."

The cultivators buzzed with discussion. The Nine Thunder Spirit Transformation Talisman was a seventh-tier talisman with superior tribulation-passing effects compared to the Five Elements Lightning Extermination Talisman, making it highly sought after by Integration stage cultivators.

After a prolonged silence, Lin Xin sighed and put away the Wind Fire Wings.

"The final item for auction is a Realm Transformation Stone. Possessing this stone allows cultivators above the Void Refinement stage to send a split soul down to lower realms. This item is offered in exchange for materials of equivalent value." Lin Xin announced loudly, holding a shimmering white stone in her hand.

"A Realm Transformation Stone!"

Wang Changsheng's breathing quickened. Even an Integration stage cultivator might not possess a Realm Transformation Stone; such naturally formed items are extremely rare. He promptly contacted Lin Xin, proposing an exchange involving Divine Magnetic Crystals. Unfortunately, the owner was not impressed by the Divine Magnetic Crystals Wang Changsheng offered, finding them too small.

After the Realm Transformation Stone was exchanged, the auction concluded. The identity of the stone's new owner remained unknown. Wang Changsheng and the others gradually exited the venue.
