But... a faction’s power was one thing, an elder’s status another.
His strength had just reached the Peak of the Acupoint Passage Realm, and the Heavenly Gang Dragon Capturing Hand had co just in ti. After so practice, he might even comprehend the deploynt of spiritual power from this quasi-Supre martial art and thereby cross into the Detachnt Realm. By then, with his status, he might even participate in the Hundred Dynasties Battle... Just thinking about this grand gathering of talents from vast domains made Tu Ling’s throat involuntarily emit a sowhat morbid chuckle.
To other Martial Artists, Qianyuan City was a colossal entity. But for him, who had lived here since childhood, Qianyuan City was still too small. Here, one could only ever achieve the Detachnt Realm, a lifespan of rely three hundred years. In the depths of his heart, a wildfire burned; he yearned to beco the first Alliance Hierarch of the Black Alliance and break through the Detachnt Realm. The world is my furnace, and I am the fire within. To truly roam the world, to live for five hundred years!
Given Tu Ling’s identity and the high price of 18,000 Essence Yuan Great Pills, the entire auction hall fell silent, devoid even of whispered murmurs.
Elder Yan of the Ten Thousand dicine Association paled and flushed, caught in a dilemma; he had never expected Tu Ling to be so disrespectful. Forcing the issue would only offend the Blood Battle Arena. After hesitating for a long mont, he finally chose not to speak again.
As the auction hamr fell, the quasi-Supre martial art, "Heavenly Gang Dragon Capturing Hand," was definitively secured by Tu Ling.
Through Jiang Shu’s keen eyes, it was clear that on several occasions, so Martial Artists had wanted to offer a higher bid but ultimately chose to remain silent due to Tu Ling’s presence. Among these Martial Artists, perhaps there were geniuses from various Dynasties who had co to Qianyuan City for training. They might all have deeper foundations than Tu Ling, but this was Qianyuan City. Without status, standing out could be deadly.
"The second auction item is a supplentary Treasure, a Golden Ape ditation Mat. This ditation mat is mainly crafted from the fur of a Sixth Rank Mutant Beast, the Fire-eyed Golden Ape. Engraved with the Heart Refining Treasure Pattern, when a Martial Artist sits on it and activates the Treasure Pattern, their mind will project the form of the Fire-eyed Golden Ape. Subduing this projection will refine the user’s mind."
"Although this Treasure does not possess strong offensive power, if a Martial Artist regularly ditates on it, it will definitely shorten the ti needed to enter the Detachnt Realm. The starting bid is 20,000 Essence Yuan Great Pills! Each incrent must not be less than 1,000!"
On the auction platform, Manager Mu’s voice grew increasingly urgent and resonant, stirring the Martial Artists present so much that they felt compelled to stand.
The "Heavenly Gang Dragon Capturing Hand," no matter how rare or powerful, ultimately remained within the scope of the Acupoint Passage Realm. Moreover, this martial art originated from the Great Yuan Dynasty. Who knew if, after practicing it, one might face a reckoning from the powerhouses of the Great Yuan Dynasty? Even if successfully auctioned, it could only be used as a last resort.
But this Golden Ape ditation Mat was a true Supre item!
From the Acupoint Passage Realm to the Detachnt Realm—this step had stymied countless Martial Artists!
"25,000 Essence Yuan Great Pills!" a Martial Artist, who had previously wanted to compete with Tu Ling for the "Heavenly Gang Dragon Capturing Hand," suddenly shouted.
"26,000!" Soon, a sharp female voice followed.
The auction had truly entered its climax as one subdued bid after another quickly raised the price to the 30,000 mark.
"Terrifying, absolutely terrifying," a Martial Artist beside Jiang Shu couldn’t help but exclaim.
Acupoint Passage Realm Martial Artists might seem powerful, but their cultivation constantly required resources. What they actually possessed in terms of disposable wealth was often just a few hundred or a few thousand Essence Yuan Great Pills. Tens of thousands of Essence Yuan Great Pills could buy Supre Elixirs, directly aiding an Acupoint Passage Realm Martial Artist in cultivating their Spirit!
"31,000!" Tu Ling gritted his teeth and spoke again; this was his second bid. The mont he saw the Golden Ape ditation Mat, one thought dominated his mind: Get it, get it! With my current Realm, it wouldn’t be difficult for to achieve entry-level mastery of the "Heavenly Gang Dragon Capturing Hand," but to progress further, my spiritual power needs to be strengthened. This Golden Ape ditation Mat would perfectly solve that problem.
"32,000."
In the face of real competition, status served no purpose. Qianyuan City had always been synonymous with chaos. Moreover, how many attendees at this auction were truly residents of Qianyuan City? Win the bid, and the first thing to do was leave—the sea is vast for fish to leap, the sky is high for birds to fly. Even if the Blood Battle Arena ranked among the five great powers, so what?
Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Tu Ling internally seethed, glaring at the Martial Artist who had shouted the bid. His savings over many years amounted to only 50,000 Essence Yuan Great Pills. Having already won the "Heavenly Gang Dragon Capturing Hand," this high price of 32,000 for the mat was already exceeding what he could afford.
"33,000..."
The price kept climbing, eventually stopping at 35,000. A Martial Artist shrouded in a black robe successfully won the bid with this amount, nearly double the price of the "Heavenly Gang Dragon Capturing Hand." The Martial Artist rose, expertly heading towards a special passage in the auction hall to conclude the transaction and swiftly withdraw.
In an instant, nearly 1,000 Martial Artists rose from their seats, Tu Ling included, and quickly followed. Even though there was still one final, show-stopping item yet to be auctioned, none of these Martial Artists paused.
The first item had been a quasi-Supre martial art. The second, a Treasure that could help Acupoint Passage Realm Martial Artists step into the Detachnt Realm. The third auction item would undoubtedly be even rarer, not sothing ordinary people could hope to covet.
Everyone’s target was the Golden Ape ditation Mat. Compared to the "Heavenly Gang Dragon Capturing Hand," which, even when mastered, could only allow one to contend with a Detachnt Realm powerhouse for a short while, the Golden Ape ditation Mat’s value was far greater.
"The third auction item..." On the auction stage, before Manager Mu could finish speaking, Jiang Shu had also stealthily left, uninterested in hearing more.
However, his target was different from the others. What he wanted was not the Golden Ape ditation Mat, but the "Heavenly Gang Dragon Capturing Hand"! After all, the Golden Ape ditation Mat was rely a cultivation aid. In the Da Jing Dynasty, it was extrely challenging for Martial Artists to advance from the Acupoint Passage Realm to the Detachnt Realm. On one hand, Supre Cultivation Techniques were rare. On the other, the previous five Realms focused on Body Refinent and Qi Refinent, with no enhancent to the Spirit. It was as if asking a Martial Artist from the Xia Country to elevate their Spiritual Cultivation directly from deep sleep to Fetal Breathing—such was the difficulty. But I, Jiang Shu, cultivating the Martial Arts of Two Realms and practicing the "Crystal ditation thod," am only one step away from the Detachnt Realm in terms of my spiritual power. Thus, my reliance on the Golden Ape ditation Mat is naturally not high. On the contrary, the "Heavenly Gang Dragon Capturing Hand," due to its uniqueness and dual use of Primordial Power and Spirit, could potentially beco a true Supre martial art if its limits were broken. During the Hundred Dynasties Battle, it could provide with significant support!
"Young Master Tu, this is the ’Heavenly Gang Dragon Capturing Hand.’ Do you need to inspect it?"
In a private room near the passage entrance, Tu Ling casually tossed over a Black Alliance card. The Black Alliance was akin to a massive rchant guild, well-inford and possessing countless treasures. Distinguished guests who resided long-term in Qianyuan City all held Black Alliance cards, making transactions convenient as they didn’t need to carry excessive amounts of Essence Yuan Great Pills.
Quickly taking the Jade Scroll, Tu Ling stored it in his Storage Bag without even a glance. As one of Qianyuan City’s five great powers, his faction constantly engaged in transactions with the Black Alliance; there was no concern of being deceived over such an auction item.
Now, the most crucial thing is to keep up with that unseeing fool. That individual, acting so furtively, is definitely not from Qianyuan City. Most likely, they’re a genius from so Dynasty’s noble house. Though these geniuses are powerful, I, Tu Ling, Young Master of the Blood Battle Arena, have experienced far more bloody battles than they have!
At this thought, Tu Ling’s eyes grew cold. After obtaining confird information from the manager, he moved swiftly through the crowd, his gaze fixed on the Martial Artist who had won the Golden Ape ditation Mat.
Unknown to him, just as his figure vanished, a nearly imperceptible shadow flashed and disappeared within the passage—Break Limit level Concealing Steps.
