Chapter 945: Chapter 495: Auction Grand Event (Part 2)

"The bidding time is up. Congratulations to Bidder No. 1, for winning the Tier Eight Artifact Refining Spiritual Material - Void Spirit Crystal at 2.5 million top-grade Spirit Stones!"

Wan Tiancheng announced the bidding results, his gaze respectfully directed towards VIP Room No. 1.

In the hall, cultivators murmured among themselves, guessing and discussing heatedly.

"It’s always No. 1. I wonder which Immortal this might be? They’re so extravagant, acquiring numerous treasures!" A middle-aged cultivator in a luxurious robe couldn’t help but exclaim, his eyes filled with envy.

"Indeed! First the Shattered Boundary Stone, then the Daoist Insect Scripture, and now even this Tier Eight Spiritual Material is in their hands, truly a display of wealth!" A nearby young cultivator said, eyes shimmering with admiration and longing for the powerful, his words full of amazement.

"It seems he didn’t compete for the Daoist Soldier, otherwise it would have ended up with him too." A Refining Void Elder stroked his beard, analyzing seriously.

"Have you noticed that other VIP rooms treat No. 1 with extraordinary respect? Even during bidding, there’s seldom direct confrontation, as if abiding by some unspoken rule. This kind of tacit understanding is far from coincidental!" An observant Void Refining Cultivator affirmed.

His words immediately prompted deep contemplation among those nearby.

"Could it be that VIP Room No. 1 is truly Master Li?" Someone proposed boldly, his voice soft yet like a pebble cast into a still lake, creating ripples.

Upon hearing this, the cultivators’ eyes simultaneously brightened, casting reverent gazes towards VIP Room No. 1, with most confirming this speculation.

At this moment, Wan Tiancheng gently tapped the auction hammer, drawing the attention of all cultivators present. His face beamed with a professional smile as he enthusiastically introduced, "Fellow Daoists, next, we’ll welcome the third Dao Artifact of today’s auction."

As his voice fell, the teleportation array on the auction platform flashed, and a small cyan tripod emerged.

On the tripod’s body, intricate and exquisite patterns were carved. Upon closer look, cyan vines twined and green leaves fluttered, seeming to dance with life across the tripod’s surface, releasing wisps of Wood Spirit Qi, making one irresistibly feel a refreshing and serene aura.

"The Cyan Wood Tripod, of extraordinary material, crafted from the heart of a millennia-old cyan wood, supplemented with Deep Sea Sinking Silver. The patterns of twining vines and fluttering leaves on the tripod body are not mere carvings but imbued with the ’Vitality Array’, allowing each leaf and vine to be saturated with Vitality Power, capable of independently absorbing Wood Element Spirit Qi from heaven and earth to nourish the tripod."

Wan Tiancheng slightly smiled and looked at the cultivators below, explaining in detail.

As he finished speaking, Wan Tiancheng waved his hand, injecting a surge of Spiritual Power into the Cyan Wood Tripod. The next moment, the tripod began to rotate gently, emitting waves of gentle yet powerful Spiritual Power that resonated with the surrounding space, subtly increasing the concentration of Spiritual Qi within the auction hall.

What was even more astonishing was the emerald wood heart embedded atop the tripod lid, which served not only as the power center of the entire tripod but also as a secret treasure capable of enhancing and amplifying the effects of Wood Magic.

Seeing this, a flicker of appreciation crossed Wan Tiancheng’s eyes as he cleared his throat and introduced passionately, "Fellow Daoists, this Cyan Wood Tripod isn’t just a rare Tier Seven Alchemy Cauldron Dao Artifact; it’s an Alchemy Furnace encompassing the Dao Principle of ’Endless Life’. Whether for alchemists pursuing the ultimate quality of pills or cultivators seeking amplification in Wood Spiritual Power, the Cyan Wood Tripod meets these demands comprehensively. Its appearance undoubtedly adds a brilliant highlight to today’s auction!"

Upon finishing, Wan Tiancheng waved his hand again, infusing a stream of Spiritual Power into the Cyan Wood Tripod. Instantly, the tripod’s body radiated brightly, as the surrounding Wood Element Spirit Qi seemed drawn in, converging into emerald spiritual flows, gracefully circling the Cyan Wood Tripod and creating a breathtaking spectacle.

At this moment, all cultivators in the auction hall held their breath, utterly captivated by the supreme majesty and unique charm the Cyan Wood Tripod exhibited.

"Cyan Wood Tripod, starting price: one million top-grade Spirit Stones, each bid increment no less than fifty thousand top-grade Spirit Stones!" Wan Tiancheng proclaimed loudly, "Bidding time limit: 200 breaths, bidding officially begins now!"

As Wan Tiancheng’s words fell, the auction atmosphere instantly erupted.

The competitive bidding display showed wild volatility, with the million starting price soaring to three million top-grade Spirit Stones in the blink of an eye, leaving many Void Refining cultivators in the auction hall with only wide-eyed spectating.

"This is eye-opening! Truly, it’s a Dao Artifact, unworthy of us!" An elderly Void Refining Cultivator rubbed his beard, his eyes filled with both envy and a sense of release, sighed.

"Master Li’s craftsmanship is unparalleled; this Cyan Wood Tripod Dao Artifact can only be obtained by those with great fortune and destiny. Though we can’t possess it, seeing its manifestation is a fair journey on the cultivation path!" A cyan-robed female cultivator expressed genuine admiration.

"Indeed! Such a treasure is rarely seen in the world; witnessing it today is something memorable for a lifetime!" An old man with white hair and beard chimed in.

...

In the auction hall, many Void Refining cultivators were filled with emotion, overwhelmed by the intense bidding before their eyes.

The bidding continued, with prices racing like a wild stallion, continuously surpassing everyone’s expectations, each breakthrough in bid records accompanied by exclamations and discussions.

Meanwhile, the Cyan Wood Tripod suspended above the auction platform was like a lofty goddess, silently accepting the adoration and pursuits of all cultivators.
