Above all spirits

Chapter 159 Yin

As the VIPs attending the auction gradually entered the room.

A clear, ringing bell echoed through the hall.

The lights in the entire venue immediately dimmed.

Only the most dazzling central booth remained.

This announced that the auction was about to begin.

Gu Yun stopped trying to use the Lost Star Coins and simultaneously shed the assimilation.

Here, he cannot mobilize the power of the stars, or more precisely, he cannot mobilize the power of the stars of Crimson Flame Star.

It can be sensed, but it cannot be used.

It must be sealed by some special large-scale barrier or formation.

After all, how can an antidote be made before a poison?

If there truly were a way to prevent others from drawing upon the power of the stars, how could it be impossible to even recharge Star Coins?

It's probably just a simple isolation barrier or sealing barrier, easily swatted like a fly or mosquito. No matter what method is used, it's impossible to detect or access any of the core essence of Crimson Flame Star.

Nature includes the power of the stars.

To be honest, he was able to sense it all probably because of the Star Moon Demon Body.

Normal people can't detect it.

If you have time, take a stroll through the void. If that doesn't work, go to the area around the Temple of the Blazing Gods; that area is almost entirely unclaimed.

"Let's begin! Let's see how I perform!"

Xiao Li, who rarely speaks a word, was extremely excited at this moment.

Gu Yun couldn't help but laugh.

"Take it easy. Even if it's really something good, we might not be able to afford it."

The sound of the bells gradually faded away.

The noise and commotion that had been concentrated on the first floor also dissipated.

Although Gu Yun and the others in the second-floor private room couldn't hear it anyway.

All that could be heard was the host's voice, which must have been achieved using some kind of special sound transmission device.

A masked man dressed in a Western-style tuxedo appears under the spotlight.

The mask covered the entire face without any fancy patterns or embellishments; it seemed to simply conceal the face.

"Welcome everyone."

"You are all powerful figures from various star systems. It is a rare honor to gather here in my small auction house today. Therefore, I will refrain from using official language that might offend you."

As an experienced auctioneer.

He knew it clearly.

What kind of speech is appropriate in what kind of environment?

In this crowd in front of me.

And the countless brightly lit private rooms on the upper floors.

It can be said that 70% to 80% of the people who came here today are not people that I, a mere auctioneer, can afford to offend, while the rest are people that even the auction house or the Crimson Flame Empire needs to take seriously.

I really don't dare to insert advertisements in this setting.

and so.

The usual pointless opening ceremony has come to an end.

Many people who had attended auctions in various places before welcomed the event with applause.

"I guarantee that this auction will be a great experience for everyone!"

"The Crimson Flame Auction officially begins!"

As the music faded, countless beams of bright white light rose around the booth.

After a while.

Dim the light.

At the auction table in the center of the exhibition booth.

A rustic wooden zither has already appeared.

It reflected a deep luster under the light.

The soul power flowing on the wooden zither clearly indicates that it has been well maintained.

"The first item up for auction."

"This zither is named Thousand Shades."

"It is made of thousand-year-old soul-nourishing wood, and is a natural soul artifact."

"As we all know, soul weapons are different from spirit treasures. They don't have any distinction in rank. After all, most of them are used in heavy industries such as airships because the conditions for storing soul power are very harsh. Except in a specially made container, they can basically not be stored in other environments."

"Moreover, materials with high soul-guiding properties are extremely rare."

"Few people would specifically study Soul Weapons to amplify Soul Arts."

"That's why Soul Weapons have gradually faded from the sight of cultivators. After all, in battles outside the realm or in the upcoming Star Realm Tournament, even the slightest difference can determine the final outcome."

"But that doesn't mean Horcruxes are really no good."

“Take my thousand yin as an example.”

"By simply infusing soul power into it and playing it, one can enhance the soul techniques cast on those around them."

Looking at the faces below the stage, each one unchanging and showing no interest whatsoever.

The male host showed no surprise.

He wasn't discouraged at all, because he knew that what followed was the main event.

"At the same time, it also has the effect of nourishing the soul during daily playing."

"Right now..."

"Shorten the time interval between reaching the other side!"

The voice just fell.

There was silence.

The host's last words were like a boulder falling into a calm lake.

After those ripples spreading outwards in concentric circles.

It's like water splashing through the sky.

next moment.

The whole place was boiling.

This is absolutely a winning start.

"What the hell? Is this how they handle the first item at an auction? Aren't the first items usually just there to fill the quota?"

"Exactly, how is that possible?"

Have you ever heard of Soul-Nourishing Wood?

"Can you promise?"

"It can shorten the time to reach the other side?? Unheard of! Isn't this just like having a soul crystal that can never be used up?!"

"There are still differences."

"Who knows how much time he's shortening?"

...

The male host naturally heard several key questions.

explained.

"Please rest assured, everyone. Our auction house staff have personally tested this. He is a powerful expert at the Overlord Body level. After listening to Qian Yin's music every day, his cycle, which was originally thirty-seven days, was shortened to thirty-two days. Although this may vary from person to person, our auction house guarantees that if there is no shortening effect, you can get a full refund!"

"Starting price: 1,000 Star Coins."

Tucao returns to Tucao.

The 1,000 star coins put considerable pressure on some ordinary forces who came to join the fun.

But for some powerful forces, it's just a drop in the ocean.

Even if it's useless, it's fine to buy it as a decoration.

As soon as the male host finished speaking...

The auction hall was filled with the sounds of bidding.

...

The little black figure peeked out and whispered in Gu Yun's ear.

"This Horcrux is quite interesting."

Gu Yun wasn't surprised at all that Werner had woken up; how could he possibly miss such a big event?

"what happened?"

"Oh, I should say that the Soul-Nourishing Wood is interesting. Materials with high soul-guiding properties are rare even in the Upper Realm."

"If this can be sustained, even for a single Spirit Forging, it would probably be snapped up like crazy in the Upper Realm."

"Actually, the spiritual treasures in the lower realm, though called spiritual treasures, are incomparable to those in the upper realm."

“The spiritual treasures of the lower realm are nothing more than a bunch of toys or rough drafts in the eyes of the gods and demons of the upper realm, and are far inferior to fierce weapons.”

"Because the spiritual treasures in the lower realm mainly revolve around amplifying qi, relying solely on the materials used in their forging."

"At most, it might incorporate some other special techniques."

"Lingbao, Lingbao, I don't even know why it's called Lingbao. I guess someone was just being vain and heard gods and demons mention Lingbao, so they just used it."

"A spirit treasure that hasn't been forged with spirit is truly astounding."
