Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Chapter 125 Bidding for the Ling Yin Imperial Sword Technique



However, just as Wu Cai Immortal's voice faded, another voice emerged from a private box on the second floor. "3,000 Midium Grade Spirit Stones, that's the most this sword technique is worth. Raising the price further wouldn't be worthwhile." After stating the bid, the person added another line: "Wu Cai, you might as well give up. I know you're not truly interested, so why waste any more time?" As that person's voice fell, Wu Cai Immortal did not offer a rebuttal. Afterward, people in the venue whispered amongst themselves, but no one placed a higher bid. Seeing that the time was just about right, Steward Cheng began the countdown. "3,000 Midium Grade Spirit Stones, for the first time..." "3,000 Midium Grade Spirit Stones, for the second time..." "If no one else bids, then the Phosphor Fire Sword Technique will be sold." After Steward Cheng finished speaking, he waited for a moment, but no one showed any intention of bidding further. Steward Cheng raised the auction hammer. With a "thud," it came down. "3,000 Midium Grade Spirit Stones, for the third time, sold!" Clearly, as the Golden Core Cultivator had mentioned, the Phosphor Fire Sword Technique was indeed worth no more than 3,000 Midium Grade Spirit Stones. The Phosphor Fire Sword Technique was thus acquired by the Golden Core Immortal in the second-floor box. And Lin Jing also noticed what the unfamiliar Golden Core Cultivator had said—a sword technique equivalent to a Golden Core Stage spell was worth 3,000 Midium Grade Spirit Stones. Looking at the booklet's introduction, the Ling Yin Imperial Sword Technique was also a technique on par with those of the Golden Core Realm, which meant the price of the two should not differ much. With this thought, Lin Jing felt fully confident and his certainty of obtaining the Ling Yin Imperial Sword Technique grew. Next, the first item was taken away and the second item was brought up. Lin Jing did not bid, merely watching silently. Soon, the second item was also sold. Then, the third... The fourth... The fifth item, one after another, were sold, and Lin Jing still made no move. After the fifth item was taken away, Steward Cheng spoke up again. "Next, please bring up the following lot." Upon Steward Cheng's announcement, a curvaceous maid holding a wooden box stepped onto the auction stage, and within that box also lay a jade slip. Only after the maid had placed the wooden box on the display stand did Steward Cheng continue: "This lot is called the Ling Yin Imperial Sword Technique, which I'm sure everyone has seen in the booklet." "Additionally..." "I have another piece of news for you. Just yesterday, we found in ancient texts that the creator of this Ling Yin Imperial Sword Technique was none other than Lingyin True Monarch from two thousand years ago." As Steward Cheng's voice fell, the venue erupted with noise as people began to discuss amongst themselves; some even narrated the story of Lingyin True Monarch to uninformed companions. "Lingyin True Monarch was a Nascent Soul Cultivator, highly renowned two thousand years ago..." ... In contrast, Lin Jing furrowed his brows, originally harboring some hope of acquiring this sword technique. If this were truly the case, he feared the starting price would be beyond his means. After all, that was a sword technique created by a Nascent Soul True Monarch... "Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me explain." Seeing the chaos below, Steward Cheng hastily intervened. As Steward Cheng finished, the venue gradually quieted down again. "Lingyin True Monarch possessed Nascent Soul Stage cultivation, hence the sword technique he created is naturally extraordinary." "Moreover, this sword technique consists of nine levels, and reaching the highest would equate to mastering a Nascent Soul-level spell." "Regrettably, the final three levels of the Ling Yin Imperial Sword Technique have been lost, leaving only the first six levels, preventing one from unleashing the full power of the technique." "Furthermore..." "The greatest strength of the Ling Yin Imperial Sword Technique lies in its stealth abilities; only those Flying Swords that are invisible and without form can bring out its maximum power." "Using other types of Flying Swords would instead give the enemy advanced warning, losing the element of surprise and making it difficult to tap into the true power of the Ling Yin Imperial Sword Technique." "However..." Having said that, Steward Cheng's tone shifted: "Don't underestimate these first six layers, they are already not weaker than the average Golden Core spell." "After comprehensive consideration, the starting bid for the Ling Yin Imperial Sword Technique is 2000 Midium Grade Spirit Stones, with each increase not less than 100 Midium Grade Spirit Stones." "Now, the auction begins..." As the auction hammer fell, the auction officially began. "I bid 2000 Midium Grade Spirit Stones." No sooner had Steward Cheng finished speaking than someone in the first-floor hall took the lead. "I bid 2500, and hey, Zhao, as a Family Head, you are only bidding 2000 Midium Grade Spirit Stones, aren't you a bit stingy?" Obviously, these two knew each other. Thinking back to the price of the Phosphor Fire Sword Technique, Lin Jing instantly had an idea. "3000..." Lin Jing had barely spoken before being interrupted. "I bid 3000 Spirit Stones." This voice came from the second floor, from within the Li Family's private box, and the voice was as clear and pleasant as a silver bell, surprisingly that of a woman. The bidding had only just begun, and the price had already reached 3000 Midium Grade Spirit Stones. This person had interrupted Lin Jing, leaving him no choice but to speak again: "3100 Midium Grade Spirit Stones." At this point, Lin Jing spoke up, adding only the minimum 100 Midium Grade Spirit Stones. "3200 Midium Grade Spirit Stones," the person previously called Old Zhao and the Family Head spoke again. "Patriarch Qu, I've raised my bid, are you following or not?" "Following, 3300 Midium Grade Spirit Stones." "Then I'll bid 3500," said the Family Head named Zhao again. Clearly, the two were not on good terms, hence they were outbidding each other at this time. "3700..." "3800..." "4000..." The two were unyielding, competing against one another, and quickly the price soared to 4000 Midium Grade Spirit Stones. Lin Jing frowned and pondered, these two were now purely trying to anger each other. If they were allowed to continue this way, who knew how high the price might climb? It had to be stopped in time. "4500..." The same second-floor Li Family box, the same crisp-voiced woman, now spoke up. However, as soon as she finished, Lin Jing interrupted her. "5000, Midium Grade Spirit Stones." Suddenly, the auction hall fell silent; even the two previously bidding fell quiet, as this price had clearly exceeded their threshold. "5000 Spirit Stones, for the first time." After a while, seeing that no one else started to bid, Steward Cheng began the countdown. However, after some time, the crowd inside the hall turned their gaze towards Lin Jing, whispering among themselves, yet still, no one placed a bid. "5000 Midium Grade Spirit Stones, for the second time." Steward Cheng's voice rose again, enticingly: "If there are no further bids, then the Ling Yin Imperial Sword Technique will be sold..." At this moment, the voice from the second floor spoke up again. "5100, Midium Grade Spirit Stones." This time, however, her voice seemed somewhat urgent. Seeing this, Steward Cheng loudly declared: "Good, 5100..." Without waiting for Steward Cheng to finish, Lin Jing immediately, without hesitation, made his bid. "5300 Midium Grade Spirit Stones." The confidence in his voice made it hard to distinguish between bluff and certainty.
