I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 580

Chapter 580 The auction ends, Chaos Pearl!

“Nine thousand high-grade spirit stones!”

“Nine thousand three hundred high-grade spirit stones!”

“Nine thousand five hundred!”

“Ten thousand!”

When a powerful Yuan Shen realm master gnashed out the price of ten thousand high-grade spirit stones, the entire auction hall fell silent.

Not only were the cultivators below stunned, but even the masters in the VIP room were shocked.

There was no way around it; the price was simply too staggering.

Ten thousand high-grade spirit stones, converted into the most popular low-grade spirit stones, would be one hundred million!

This amount, even for the most powerful forces in the Tianyuan World, would be a colossal fortune. The

cost would not only be catastrophic, but would also at least drain a significant amount of their resources.

“Sure enough, even if our two families combined our strength, we would still struggle to compete with these top forces.”

In the VIP room where the Qiankun Sect disciples were staying, Gan Lingxiao sighed, finally giving up.

Perhaps even the Qiankun Sect could afford one hundred million low-grade spirit stones.

But that would require the sect to use up all its spiritual stone reserves.

By then, the sect would be destitute and unable to operate.

Even if they could give out half, the sect would be stretched thin, and its disciples would have to practice frugally.

Not to mention the one who offered the Immortal Golden Bell, who only needed high-grade spiritual stones.

The Qiankun Sect might be able to gather 100 million low-grade spiritual stones if they tried hard,

but 10,000 high-grade spiritual stones was simply out of their reach.

The difference between the two lies in the depth of their Qiankun Sect and those of the top sects.

The Gongshu family’s strength is not far off from their Qiankun Sect’s, so even if they joined forces, they might not be able to compete with these top forces with immense resources.

Furthermore, these 10,000 high-grade spiritual stones might not even be the final price.

Sure enough, after a period of silence, someone finally called out a higher price.

“11,000 high-grade spiritual stones!”

Everyone was shocked again at the announcement.

The bidder actually added a thousand high-grade spirit stones, which, converted into low-grade spirit stones, would be ten million!

“It seems these powerful factions are truly putting their sect’s wealth to the test.”

“I wonder which faction is so arrogant.”

“Is it the Heavenly Sword Sect, the Overlord Clan, the Daoxu Temple, or the Biluo Palace? Aren’t these the most powerful of the forces that have come to Tianshu City this time?”

…

Everyone began to discuss, speculating which top power had made the bid.

After this price, there was a long silence before someone called out a new bid.

The bidding became much slower, but even more thrilling.

Finally, when a powerful person bid fifteen thousand high-grade spirit stones, no more bids were made.

After a long time, even after several reminders from the Treasure-Covering Venerable, no one bid again.

He made the final decision: “Since no one else bids, this Immortal Golden Bell will belong to the distinguished guest in Room No. 3!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the auction hall, which had been tense and depressed, suddenly became boiling.

“It’s finally over. I was so nervous just now that I didn’t even dare to breathe!”

“Fifteen thousand high-grade spirit stones, which force made the offer? I’m afraid most of the sect’s wealth has been used up, right?” “

You’re really willing to spend that much. Although high-grade spiritual weapons are precious, this price is too scary.”

“A high-grade spiritual weapon costs one hundred and fifty million low-grade spirit stones. How much more expensive would a top-grade spiritual weapon be?”

“What are you thinking? Top-grade spiritual weapons are legendary. In our entire Tianyuan world, the forces that possess such treasures can probably be counted on one hand.

That is an unparalleled treasure that can suppress the fortune of an entire sect for thousands of years!

Who would be so foolish as to put it up for auction?

Even if it really appeared, I’m afraid no one would be so honest as to bid for it. A war would just start to snatch it.”

“Forget it. Our human race’s few remaining supreme spiritual artifacts are said to be in the hands of the most powerful.

They’re our trump cards against the demons, crucial to our destiny and survival.

They can’t just be given away, let alone auctioned.”

The

hall below was buzzing with discussion, while in the VIP room above, someone’s expression was grim.

“Who dares to snatch this from our Overlord Clan? Is it Daoxu Temple, Biluo Palace, or the Heavenly Sword Sect?”

Batian of the Overlord Clan’s face was filled with gloom.

He hadn’t expected that even after offering 14,000 high-grade spirit stones, he still couldn’t secure this high-grade spiritual artifact.

This was the maximum he had received after contacting his ancestors.

Anything above this would severely damage even the Overlord Clan’s foundation and vitality, hindering its future development.

So, he could only watch helplessly as the price was pushed higher and higher, unable to raise his bid.

At this moment, it would be a lie to say Batian wasn’t furious.

When had he ever felt so aggrieved?

However furious he was, he dared not act recklessly here.

Not to mention the numerous powerful Yuanshen masters within the auction hall.

The Tianshu City Lord was said to be a powerful Yuanshen realm warrior exceeding the Third Tribulation.

Even the Overlord Clan had to treat such a being with respect.

In the end, he could only swallow his resentment.

“It’s actually been bid up to 15,000 high-grade spirit stones.”

In Room 19, Lu Qing marveled.

The price of such a high-grade spiritual weapon was truly terrifying.

The financial resources of these top powers were equally formidable, readily tossing out hundreds of millions of spirit stones.

“A high-grade spiritual weapon might even be a treasure capable of suppressing the fortune of an entire sect. No wonder these top powers are so crazy.

It’s just that the number of forces visiting Tianshu City this time wasn’t too large.

Otherwise, the scene would have been even more frenzied.

I just wonder who will get the Immortal Golden Bell,”

Taoist Wubao lamented.

“Whoever gets it is none of our business. Well, now that the excitement is over, it’s time to leave,” Lu Qing said with a smile.

Lu Qing first retrieved the spirit stones he had pledged, then left the auction hall with Taoist Wubao.

They also departed via a teleportation array.

Therefore, from beginning to end, no one except the auctioneers knew they were guests of Room 19.

Tianshu City, having held countless auctions, was remarkably adept at maintaining confidentiality.

After leaving the auction hall, Lu Qing and the others took a detour to confirm they were unaccompanied before returning to their rented cave.

“Master, now that we’ve seen enough of the excitement, I may need to retreat for a while. Please keep an eye on any news regarding the secret realm. If there are any changes, please inform me.” Lu Qing

said with a smile before returning to their respective caves.

“Don’t worry, Fellow Daoist Chen, I’ll take care of this,”

Taoist Wubao assured without hesitation, patting his chest.

He was well aware of his position, knowing he was supposed to be Lu Qing’s friend, and had no objection to running errands like gathering information.

“Then I’ll trouble you, Taoist Priest.”

After entering the cave, Lu Qing sat down cross-legged. Before he could move, Xiao Li leaped out of his arms.

“Ah Qing, Ah Qing, quickly show us the treasures we bought,” he said,

his expression akin to a money-grubber.

“Okay, okay,”

Lu Qing chuckled, then took out his purchases for Xiao Li to see.

Xiao Li first embraced the silver sphere, carefully examining it.

After all, it was connected to Lu Qing’s Void Flying Boat.

Xiao Li was well aware of the silver boat’s magical power.

It was arguably impossible without the Void Flying Boat to reach this vast Tianyuan world.

After cradling the sphere for a moment, thoroughly inhaling its precious aura, Xiao Li finally released it with satisfaction and looked at the remaining two treasures.

Then, with a hint of disdain, he glanced at the prayer wheel before turning to the final gray bead.

“Ah Qing, what kind of treasure is this bead?”

Xiao Li’s sensory abilities allowed him to sense the aura of a treasure, but he couldn’t pinpoint its specific origins.

However, he knew Lu Qing possessed an even more remarkable ability, capable of deducing the treasure’s true origins.

“This treasure is truly extraordinary.”

“This bead, called the Chaos Bead, is the product of a vast, mysterious space, or perhaps a world, returning to chaos and on the verge of extinction.

Through a series of fortuitous coincidences, it absorbed a vast amount of spatial energy and a trace of chaotic energy to form this bead.”

Lu Qing held up the gray bead, a hint of emotion in his eyes.

He hadn’t expected to be so lucky as to stumble upon such a rare treasure.

This Chaos Bead possessed an extremely powerful essence.

If refined properly, it could easily become a spiritual weapon, and one with immense potential.

In the future, it could even be elevated to a mid-grade or even a high-grade spiritual weapon.

More importantly, this Chaos Bead had another crucial function:

it could enhance the essence of a spiritual weapon.

If it were integrated into an existing spiritual artifact, it could greatly enhance that artifact’s potential.

If the artifact’s own rank wasn’t very high, it could even potentially raise it by a full grade!

In other words, if he integrated this Chaos Pearl into the Qiankun Yiqi Bag,

it would almost instantly become a mid-grade spiritual artifact.

If it were integrated into the Lihuo Ding, it would also have the potential to become a high-grade spiritual artifact.

“A pearl born from the destruction of a secret space or world?”

Xiao Li was stunned upon hearing this.

While he could sense the Chaos Pearl’s extraordinary power, he hadn’t imagined this tiny gray bead could have such a profound origin.

“So, we have another spiritual artifact?” Xiao Li asked.

“That’s not urgent. I need to further consider the use of this Chaos Pearl,”

Lu Qing shook his head.

Honestly, he was a bit torn about how to use the Chaos Pearl.

Should he refine it into a spiritual artifact or integrate it into the magic weapon he currently possessed?

The former would be time-consuming and require the collection of various other materials.

Furthermore, at his current level, refining a spiritual artifact was still somewhat beyond his capabilities.

If he chose the latter, Lu Qing would be hesitant to decide which magic weapon to integrate it into.

He currently possessed a number of magic weapons, the most important of which were the Five Elements Gourd, the Void Flying Boat, the Fire Tripod, the Universe Qi Bag, and the Five Elements Orb in his eyebrow acupoint.

The Void Flying Boat was out of the question, as it was essentially a Dao weapon.

With only one Chaos Orb, integrating it wouldn’t significantly enhance its essence.

As for the Universe Qi Bag, Lu Qing usually used it more as a storage device.

Even if it were upgraded to a mid-grade spiritual artifact, it wouldn’t necessarily be as powerful as the Fire Tripod.

The remaining options were the Five Elements Gourd, the Fire Tripod, and the Five Elements Orb.

The Five Elements Gourd is Lu Qing’s natal spiritual artifact, closely tied to him. Logically, it’s the most important.

But the Five Elements Orb is equally extraordinary. The Soul Talisman resides within it, constantly protecting and nourishing his soul.

Its importance is no less than the Five Elements Gourd.

However, the problem is that these two treasures, due to their close connection to Lu Qing and the constraints of his realm, have yet to undergo a transformation and remain merely top-grade artifacts.

Incorporating the Chaos Orb into it now seems premature.

As for the final Fire Tripod

, this mid-grade spiritual artifact is arguably the most powerful one Lu Qing currently possesses.

Incorporating the Chaos Orb into it, enhancing its essence,

would not only significantly increase its power, but also potentially even elevate it to a top-grade spiritual artifact.

Lu Qing recalled the agreement he had made with “Yan” when he refined the Fire Tripod.

One day, he would set it free.

Once “Yan” departed, the Fire Tripod’s power would undoubtedly decline.

He had to cultivate a new weapon spirit, which would take a lot of time and energy.

Although according to Yan’s performance over the years, it seemed that he had completely submitted to him.

But this was still an unstable factor.

There was only one Chaos Orb, so it must be used with caution.

After much deliberation, Lu Qing still couldn’t make up his mind.

He finally put the Chaos Orb away, intending to wait for the right moment to make a decision.

As for the prayer wheel, Lu Qing, like Xiao Li, glanced at it briefly but didn’t pay much attention.

The artifact itself wasn’t of high rank, but the strange runes engraved on it were interesting.

However, Lu Qing didn’t have the heart to study it at the moment, so he also set it aside.

Finally, Lu Qing’s gaze shifted to the silver sphere.

This Void Core was his most prized treasure.

After a moment of thought, Lu Qing suddenly formed a magical incantation, and the Lihuo Ding, which he had always worn around his neck, suddenly flew out, transformed into half a man’s height, and landed on the ground.

He then instructed Xiao Li, “Xiao Li, I’m going to the Lihuo Ding for a while. You stay outside to protect the Dharma.”

Seeing Xiao Li nod, Lu Qing took the Void Core and transformed into a stream of light, hurling it towards the Lihuo Ding.

He was about to enter the Lihuo Cauldron in his true form.

“Master, what are you doing…”

In the spiritual weapon space, “Yan” was surprised to see Lu Qing actually entering in his true form.

“I have something to do.”

Lu Qing said, and with a wave of his hand, he released the Void Flying Boat.
