Chapter 804: Chapter 716: The Mountain-Carrying Tortoise_2

...

Fang Xi coldly observed from the sidelines as the long halberd exotic treasure was eventually sold for fifty-seven pieces of Immortal Jade. He thus gained a somewhat clearer understanding of his own financial resources.

Following that, various rare and exotic treasures, and powerful cultivation heritages, were presented, yet Fang Xi had little interest.

His Divine Skills and magic treasures were already at the peak of perfection.

Among the cultivation practices he had mastered, the "Kuyong Skills" were an inheritance from an Earth Immortal, not to be underestimated, and the "Self-Transforming Heavenly Sovereign’s True Demon Art of Controlling All Spirits" was also likely an inheritance from the Sky Demon.

Even the less conspicuous "Sky Demon Slaying Immortal Tactics" was a top-level practice of the Monster Clan, which came with secret skills such as the "Thousands Demon Armor" for transcending tribulations.

Thus, the few sets of Divine Skills and cultivation methods that appeared at this auction truly did not catch Fang Xi’s eye.

However, he still watched attentively.

Following the auction of a high-level Spiritual Beast egg, a handsome young man commanded a Puppet to present a tray.

On the tray was an ancient and slightly damaged jade slip.

"Sixth Order Talisman Inheritance - Small Void Transfer Talisman!"

The young man’s voice was grave.

"What... It’s the ’Small Void Transfer Talisman’? That kind of secret talisman that can shift for thousands of miles in an instant, even beyond the reach of cultivators at the Returning to Emptiness level? I’ve heard that many juniors have used such talismans to escape from the hands of Transcendent God and Returning to Emptiness cultivators..." an excited voice from a cultivator enveloped in a hazy radiance said.

"It’s a pity it’s not the ’Great Void Transposition Talisman’ from the rumors... Such a talisman could transfer someone millions of li away in an instant and is of a very high order. It’s not restricted by many prohibitions and Void magic treasures, and if one encounters an Integration Level cultivator, it’s also an excellent item for saving one’s life," another elderly woman sighed.

"Alright, Ling Guizi, how will this be sold, and what’s the starting price?"

Immediately, an impatient cultivator at the Returning to Emptiness level shouted out.

Upon reaching high levels, most cultivators would choose to study one of the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation. The Taoist of Talisman is popular because it’s simple to learn and versatile, making it a mainstream choice.

Currently, among the high-level cultivators present, there were no small number who were proficient in the Taoist of Talisman.

However, no matter the cultivation art, all are easy to learn but difficult to master.

Fang Xi was somewhat amazed to discover that there were quite a few sixth-order Talisman Masters in the crowd.

Of course, if it were a real ’Small Void Transfer Talisman’, as long as one could comprehend and craft it later, it would be possible to regain the cost and even make a huge profit.

"Everyone, please hold on... I have not finished speaking yet," said Ling Guizi, smiling.

"This Sixth Order secret symbol inheritance is damaged... It’s missing about thirty percent. I believe all the talisman masters here can use their skills and insight to restore it... Even if it cannot be restored completely, it will greatly enrich your foundation in the art of talismans," he added.

"It’s actually damaged!"

"With the degree of damage reaching thirty percent, it’s absurd... Even the slightest mistake in drawing a talisman can cause it to destroy itself; much less thirty percent?"

Many previously interested talisman masters were indignant.

But Fang Xi felt that these people would definitely make an offer.

Their current indignation was only to push the price as low as possible.

’No matter, fortunately, I have plenty of Immortal Jade... The Small Void Transfer Talisman, which is clearly in Phoenix Seal Script, could possibly be completed with my understanding of the Void,’ Fang Xi thought.

Fang Xi’s comprehension of the Way of the Void even surpassed that of the Integration Level Heavenly Phoenix, which was one of the reasons why his heterodox incarnation managed to escape.

"This sixth-order secret symbol inheritance has a starting price of thirty pieces of Immortal Jade..." Ling Guizi had just finished speaking with a smile when Fang Xi made his bid: "Sixty pieces of Immortal Jade!"

At this, a multitude of talisman masters glared angrily at Fang Xi.

A mere sixth-order Void talisman inheritance with damage... it would be quite a sum to pay fifty pieces of Immortal Jade, was this person a fool?

However...

They didn’t know that Fang Xi had an idea of fishing for bids.

After all, he was going to spend plenty of Immortal Jade today, and if anyone was willing to gift him some, wouldn’t it be good?

Not to mention, among the cultivators present, he had not seen any Integration Level great powers.

Below the Integration Level, he was truly fearless.

"Sixty pieces of Immortal Jade for the third time, congratulations to this sir!"

A few dozen breaths later, Ling Guizi said with a beaming smile, "Please come up to the stage for the transaction."

Fang Xi turned into a streak of demon light and approached the stage under many watchful eyes. He threw out a small pile of Immortal Jade and picked up the ancient jade slip.

With a sweep of his Divine Consciousness, he indeed saw the method for crafting a ’Small Void Transfer Talisman’.

However, due to the damage to the jade slip, there were many obscured areas within it.

Judging by the damage, it was indeed around thirty percent.

"Excellent, just what I was looking for," he nodded lightly, returned to his seat, and appeared to lose interest in the subsequent auction.

The climax item of the small auction that followed was indeed extraordinary, as a ’Biyi Breaking Virtual Pill’ was presented, but it failed to pique Fang Xi’s interest.

He simply watched as a group of Transcendent God cultivators clenched their teeth in frustration, carefully competing with the old monsters at the Returning to Emptiness level for the precious opportunity to break through...

Eventually, the ’Biyi Breaking Virtual Pill’ fell into the hands of a cultivator at the later stage of Returning to Emptiness.

Even towards the end of the auction, only the Returning to Emptiness cultivators were raising the bids.

The Transcendent God cultivators, even with plenty of Immortal Jade, dared not reveal how much they had.

’This is the sorrow of the lower-ranked cultivators... Even if they come across a chance to break through, they cannot compete with the high-ranked cultivators... Even though the high-ranked cultivators might not need it for themselves, who doesn’t have friends, family, or disciples?’ Fang Xi sighed inwardly, then saw Ling Guizi with a glowing face, clearly having profited greatly from the earlier auction, now bowing cordially in all directions: "The next session is the free trade segment for everyone; however, I must remind you that once the transaction is complete and any issues are subsequently discovered, the Black Tortoise Pavilion will take no responsibility..."
