Top-grade Martial Arts are controlled by Primordial Power. Supre Martial Arts are controlled by Spirit. However, so Martial Arts, originally intended to be top-grade or Supre, were either unexpectedly incomplete or only partially finished at their inception, reaching a stage where Primordial Power was primary, supplented by Spirit. These are defined as quasi-Supre Martial Arts. For Qianyuan City, where individuals in the Detachnt Realm were considered the most powerful, quasi-Supre Martial Arts represented the highest echelon of Martial Arts that could be featured in the current auction.
As the steward finished speaking, he pursed his lips and smiled, allowing the Maids to parade the jade plate back and forth on the auction stage.
Below the stage, even those Martial Artists who rarely made a sound couldn’t help but draw a sharp breath. Their gazes, burning with fervor, were all fixed on the Jade Scroll.
Quasi-Supre Martial Arts!
Within the Dynasty, such Martial Arts were typically collected by the royal family. Only those in the Detachnt Realm, or powerhouses in the Acupoint Passage Realm who had opened all their acupoints and sworn loyalty to the Dynasty, would have a chance to obtain them. Yet, such a Martial Art now appeared before their very eyes.
The fundantal advantage that the Detachnt Realm held over the Acupoint Passage Realm was spiritual power.
If a Martial Artist in the Acupoint Passage Realm could cultivate a quasi-Supre Martial Art, they could, to so extent, temporarily contend with a Detachnt Realm powerhouse!
"The first grand finale item is a quasi-Supre Martial Art... This Black Alliance auction is really going all out this ti! It’s just a pity that this Martial Art will inevitably fall into the hands of those major powers. We can only watch and boast about it later."
"Just seeing a quasi-Supre Martial Art has made this trip worthwhile! Besides, if the first auction item is like this, what about the second and third? Could Treasures appear?!"
"Never mind Treasures. This Heavenly Gang Dragon Capturing Hand alone will definitely start at one thousand bottles of Essence Yuan Great Pills. Within the Dynasty, only those aristocratic families with centuries of history could afford such a price."
"Exactly. Even with ’quasi’ in its na, it’s like having one foot across the threshold of Supre Martial Arts. While the spiritual power required isn’t imnse, it’s still beyond what we Acupoint Passage Realm Martial Artists can achieve. Forcibly using it would, at best, drain one’s spiritual power, requiring months of recovery. At worst, it could leave soone an imbecile, forever cut off from the path of Martial Arts."
So Martial Artists who knew each other conversed in low voices. These individuals had generally not even fully opened all the acupoints within their bodies and thus didn’t dare to even think about acquiring a quasi-Supre Martial Art.
In a secluded seat, Jiang Shu’s fist, hidden within his sleeve, clenched tightly, then slowly relaxed. His gaze had been fixed on the Jade Scroll ever since it appeared.
In the Da Jing Dynasty, top-grade Martial Arts were easy to co by, but Supre Martial Arts were rare. This was because top-grade Martial Arts could be found in comrce associations and aristocratic families. If one possessed sufficient talent, they would naturally attract investnt. With Detachnt Realm powerhouses presiding, even the strongest in the Acupoint Passage Realm had to obey orders. But Supre Martial Arts, even quasi-Supre Martial Arts—the kind that allowed one to briefly contend with Detachnt Realm experts—were absolutely unobtainable unless one reached a certain cultivation Realm or possessed a specific status.
At least, with his current status, unless he resorted to robbery, he had no way to cultivate such a technique.
Heavenly Gang Dragon Capturing Hand...
Jiang Shu murmured inwardly, suppressing the burning fervor in his eyes. To so extent, he was like the Martial Artists who had been discussing earlier; he couldn’t hope to obtain this quasi-Supre Martial Art. A Martial Art of this caliber would have an astronomical starting price.
But not being able to bid for it didn’t an he couldn’t obtain it!
"The Heavenly Gang Dragon Capturing Hand was first created by the founding patriarch of the high-ranking Great Yuan Dynasty. A single capturing motion utilized Primordial Power Spirit, embodying both yin and yang, to condense energy into the likeness of a dragon. Later, due to internal succession struggles and widespread chaos within the Great Yuan Dynasty, many Treasures from the imperial vault were disseminated."
"This Martial Art subsequently circulated through many regions and is now a prized collection in several major neighboring Dynasties."
On the auction stage, Steward Mu first gave a brief explanation of the origin of the "Heavenly Gang Dragon Capturing Hand," then scanned the entire audience, his voice resonating clearly in every corner, "Starting bid, ten thousand Essence Yuan Great Pills. Each increase must not be less than five hundred."
A bottle of Elixirs typically contained ten pills. Auctions usually involved bidding in bottles for ease of calculation. However, Steward Mu, by forgoing bottles as the unit and suddenly announcing the large figure of ten thousand pills, aid to electrify everyone present.
"Thirteen thousand!"
A young man, appearing to be in his thirties, abruptly stood up and bellowed. His cold gaze swept across the room, and any Martial Artist who t his eyes couldn’t help but look away.
"This is a Black Alliance auction, not the Tu Family’s Blood Battle Arena. If Young Master Tu wants to bid, then bid properly."
No sooner had the young man spoken than an elderly voice declared from another side, "Fifteen thousand."
The Tu Family Blood Battle Arena...
Jiang Shu’s gaze swept over the young man. The Tu Family’s Blood Battle Arena was also one of the five major powers in Qianyuan City. Martial Artists from the city could register to participate in these blood duels, earning substantial rewards for each victory. However, failure ant losing one’s life. Relying on this Blood Battle Arena, the Tu Family had amassed a fortune in Qianyuan City. In terms of financial might, this Young Master Tu likely ranked among the top five wealthiest individuals at the entire auction.
"So, it’s Elder Yan from the Ten Thousand dicine Association. Elder Yan, as a top-grade Alchemist, surely you don’t need to compete with us juniors for this Martial Art? Eighteen thousand."
Young Master Tu Ling of the Tu Family forcibly suppressed the savage glint in his eyes as he spoke these exceedingly polite words, directly raising the bid by three thousand.
The Ten Thousand dicine Association was a faction composed of Alchemists. Their collective strength was formidable, perhaps even slightly surpassing that of the Tu Family.
