Chapter 281: Chapter 188 Treasures Confound the Eye_3

For example, the prices of several spiritual materials suddenly increased. Some people complained, others seemed thoughtful.

Li Yan instantly understood. He remained calm, mixed among the buyers, and purchased some, even obtaining a piece of Thunderstruck Wood forged for a gun handle.

The price wasn’t low, spending more than ten thousand taels of silver.

But if he could develop a new type of firearm and obtain the formula for gunpowder, it would be worth it.

Soon, it was time for the auction.

First was the copper essence from the mountain, which contained Thunder Astral and was an excellent material for making magic artifacts. Many competed for it, all from the Taixuan Orthodox Sect, though from different branches.

Of course, as respectable members of the orthodox sect, they naturally wouldn’t quarrel like the merchants of the pugilistic world, turning red in the face and confrontational, or even forming grudges.

They silently placed their bids, measuring in secret.

"Ten thousand taels."

"Fifteen thousand taels."

"Twenty thousand taels."

When Li Yan raised the price to twenty thousand and two thousand taels, he smoothly acquired the mountain copper essence.

An old Daoist nearby couldn’t help but laugh, "Young friend, is the living Yin messenger so wealthy? This item’s price is inflated, you’ve bought it at a higher cost."

Li Yan helplessly smiled, "This item is greatly useful to me, even if it’s a bit costly, I can’t miss it."

The Twelve Yuan Chen Coins were the same.

After all, being unique items, the price soared to more than ten thousand taels to win them.

Li Yan calculated, in this short time, aside from buying for others, he alone spent over sixty thousand taels, reducing the team’s wealth significantly.

And this was with great restraint; many things he didn’t dare to buy.

Although there was still quite a bit of money left, he didn’t dare to spend recklessly.

He needed it for building when it came time, and next, for Wang Daoxuan and Lv San’s building projects, and also to save a bit for protection.

After a round of purchases, two whole hours had passed.

Seeing that everyone in the main hall had finished, Jing Xuzi came in, cupped his hands, and said, "Everyone, please follow me."

With that, he led the group out through a side door.

This was also a form of protection, after all, at the opening event of the vault method, incidents of murder and treasure robbery had occurred.

The Mystical Sect’s orthodox members had considerable wealth, and the items purchased were of incredible value. Naturally, they would leave first after obtaining their goods.

Li Yan was in no hurry. After returning to Sunrise Peak and meeting up with Wang Daoxuan and others, he returned to Wangxian Temple.

By evening, Manager Wan and Quan Wanzhong hurriedly arrived. After receiving the items, they left with a look of joy.

After they left, Li Yan took out the Twelve Yuan Chen Coins and admired them carefully under the candlelight.

These were twelve small copper coins with a round shape and square hole.

On the front were carved the twelve zodiac animals: Rat, Chou Niu, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, and so on. The back bore various intricate patterns, the talismans were extremely tiny, surrounded by sun, moon, and stars.

In the center were written the four large characters "Lifebound Primordial Spirit."

He activated his divine skills to sniff closely and immediately sensed their extraordinary nature.

Each copper coin had Gang Qi flowing through it, forming its own arrangement.

Arrangement and momentum were completely different concepts.

Momentum had an end, while a precious arrangement flowed continuously.

The Innate Astral Qi gathered to form momentum, but it would eventually be consumed and end.

But if an arrangement was formed, that was a completely different concept, able to circulate autonomously. As long as it was well preserved, it was akin to a small Feng Shui array, not destroyed for a long time.

The preciousness of his Three Talents Demon Suppression Coin lay in its self-formed arrangement, but its Qi was of ominous nature.

The uniqueness of these Twelve Yuan Chen Coins was that when arranged in sequence, they could form a grand arrangement.

"This is the Lifebound Primordial Spirit Coin."

Wang Daoxuan looked surprised at the sight.

Li Yan asked curiously, "What’s meant by Lifebound Primordial Spirit Coin?"

Wang Daoxuan explained, "This Lifebound Primordial Spirit Coin is a rare item. Its greatest capability is that nightly during the storing god process, if one holds the copper coin, they can inject the storing god power into it."

"Oh... I see."

Li Yan suddenly understood, this item was equivalent to a magic potion. After all, insufficient storing god force at a crucial moment could be fatal to a magician, which is why it was so precious.

But to be honest, he felt somewhat disappointed. With his Daluo Dharma Body, if he truly encountered such a crisis, he could instantly recover to save his life.

It’s not that the item was bad, just that it didn’t meet his expectations.

At that moment, Wang Daoxuan shook his head and said, "I’ve heard there are many uses for the lifebound coin, though I’ve only heard of this method."

"Perhaps it’s also used to make blade tassels, or it has other uses..."

Upon hearing this, Li Yan agreed, which made him even more curious about how the old man wielded the blade.
