Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints

The three of them descended onto a pavilion towards the north of the center, which contained a total of four stools.

The pavilion was also marked with a number, Di Zi Twenty-Eight.

"Brother Lin, please sit down. The auction is probably about half an hour from starting, try the Fourth Rank Spring Spiritual Tea from Tianliu Island!" Zhao Fuling took out a small packet of Spiritual Tea, then fetched a spirit kettle and silently began to brew.

The Spiritual Tea was excellent, and as soon as it was brought out, there was that rare moisture and fragrance, filled with vitality.

However, using Fourth Rank Spiritual Tea at the auction was perhaps a bit too conspicuous.

But then thinking that this place was Tianliu Island, where many Purple Mansion cultivators might be from Tianliu Island, Lin Shiming found himself at ease.

He thus went along with them.

As the two women brewed tea, his Divine Sense reached out towards the bottom of the lake.

Such design, in his view, must contain profound mysteries.

An auction like this was definitely not just about enhancing cultivators' sense of satisfaction.

But once his Divine Sense touched the surface of the lake, it could no longer descend any deeper, clearly indicating that the water was a Spirit Formation.

At this time, Lin Shiming naturally did not dare to force his way through, seeing several streams of Divine Sense looking over, especially from the central auction pavilion.

"Brother Lin, there's a Formation below, you'll get to witness it later!" Zhao Yulin also spoke softly.

Though she was extremely polite, there was still a chill in her words.

Lin Shiming's regard for Zhao Yulin's Pure Jade Body rose by quite a few notches.

Inside the pavilion, Purple Mansion cultivators gradually began to descend into it.

These cultivators were also shrouded in black veils, their faces unseeable.

Upon descending into the pavilion, their movements also varied.

After a while, layers upon layers of ripples started to appear on the surface of the lake, as if the Formation in the void had undergone some change.

And in the central auction pavilion, a middle-aged man in a red robe stepped out.

He gave a hearty laugh:

"Thank you all fellow daoists for attending this auction. I am Hong Dao, and I believe many friends here are not here for the first time and are familiar with the rules of our auction!"

"But let me reiterate once more, all treasures will be displayed within the lake, so there's no such thing as passing off inferior items as good. Once a bid is confirmed, there are no returns or exchanges, the item goes to the highest bidder!"

"This auction is for the Fourth Rank Purple Mansion level, hence all items will be bid using Superior Grade Spirit Stones. If using Intermediate Grade Spirit Stones, one hundred and twenty Intermediate Grade Spirit Stones will be needed to exchange for a single Superior Grade Spirit Stone!"

...

"Alright, enough talk, the first item is a Fourth Rank Superior Grade defensive Magical Treasure, the Red Lotus Armor!"

"The starting bid is one hundred Superior Grade Spirit Stones, and each increase must be no less than one stone!"

Hong Dao, the Hermit, raised his hand, and suddenly a red-colored lotus Spirit Armor was lifted out of the lake by a lotus leaf.

The Spirit Armor was clearly activated by True Yuan, dazzling with Spirit Light in the midst of the Spirit Lake, looking incredibly eye-catching. A Purple Mansion cultivator next to it took out a Flying Sword Magical Treasure and slashed at that moment.

The brilliant sword light intertwined with the fiery glow, creating a storm of Spiritual Energy that swept outwards. These storms hit the surroundings of the pavilion, all being absorbed.

At this moment, many of the Purple Mansion cultivators attending for the first time were incredibly shocked, including Lin Shiming.

Such an intense display significantly increased the desire for the Spirit Armor in many cultivators' hearts.

Moreover, just then, as the might of the Spirit Armor dispersed, the surface of the lake transformed into a screen displaying the image of that magical armor, magnified to the extreme.

Every detail and Spirit Pattern was laid bare.

After being struck by a sword, it didn't even leave a single mark.

"One hundred ten!"

"One hundred thirty!"

...

"One hundred fifty!" The calls at the auction rose and fell in quick succession, never pausing for a moment!

This debut not only showcased a Fourth Rank Superior Grade defensive Magical Treasure but also represented a comprehensive demonstration.

Lin Shiming thought back to the Hermit Hong Dao's words about sales being final, with no returns or exchanges, which was the confidence of the auction.

For Purple Mansion cultivators, if they still misjudge an item under such inspection, then they likely deserved to make a wrong purchase.

Lin Shiming also tried to bid once, as a Superior Grade defensive Magical Treasure would be nice for either Lin Shitao or Lin Xianzhi. However, when the price surpassed five hundred Superior Grade Spirit Stones and people still fervently bid, Lin Shiming shook his head.

Though he had a fair number of Superior Grade Spirit Stones, he had also spent quite a few on Fourth Rank Spirit Pills, leaving him with only six thousand Superior Grade Spirit Stones in total.

He wanted the arts of the Wood Demon and, indeed, if he encountered a Fourth Rank Spirit Pill better than the Yuqing Pill, he would go for it.

Naturally, he could not waste any more at the moment, especially since this auction was limited to only accepting Superior Grade Spirit Stones.

In the end, the Red Lotus Armor was sold for seven hundred and eighty-eight Superior Grade Spirit Stones. Since it was a period of beast tide, such defensive Magical Treasures naturally sold for a high price.

After an item was auctioned off, the cultivators did not need to leave the pavilion; they simply waited within, and a cultivator would appear in the Spirit Lake to hand over the Red Lotus Armor to the buyer.

As well as collect the Superior Grade Spirit Stones.

Lin Shiming then realized that the Formation of the pavilion not only protected the cultivators but also restricted them.

Though these Spirit Formations were only comparable to Supreme Grade Third Rank.

But who could assure that the strength of these Spirit Formations was limited to only Third Rank?

Lin Shiming mused internally for a moment but then relaxed, considering he was accompanied by Zhao Yulin and Zhao Fuling, and they were on Tianliu Island, so basically nothing should go wrong.

While Lin Shiming pondered, the Hermit Hong Dao spoke up again:

"The second auction item, a Boundary-breaking Talisman. This talisman was created by Shen Fu True Person of Shen Fu Island. If any of you have been to the Secret Realm battlefield, you would understand that such a Shen Fu is akin to a life-saving talisman!"

"The starting bid is one hundred Superior Grade Spirit Stones, and each increase must be no less than one stone!"

"One hundred twenty!"
