Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation

F{h*F5#*LjChapter 640 Precious Secret Technique_2

“This Mid-grade Water Spirit Essence.”

“The starting bid is one thousand Mid-grade Spirit Stones.”

“Each increase in bid must not be less than one hundred Mid-grade Spirit Stones.”

As the auctioneer’s voice rang out above the auction hall,

He Song’s eyes narrowed slightly.

His attention also quietly shifted to the Water Spirit Essence he had acquired from the cave mansion of the Fallen Snow True Monarch.

However,

after a careful comparison,

He Song heaved a sigh in his heart.

The Water Spirit Essence being auctioned, in He Song’s opinion, was in fact indistinguishable from the one he possessed.

These two pieces of Water Spirit Essence, whether in terms of appearance, quality, or the concentration of spirit Qi contained within, showed no significant discrepancies.

In other words, the Water Spirit Essence that He Song had was likely just a piece of Mid-grade Water Spirit Essence as well.

As for High-grade Water Spirit Essence,

neither the one being auctioned at the moment nor the one He Song possessed were related to it.

Consequently,

He Song, who had originally thought that he might have picked up a bargain, now completely leveled his expectations.

At the same time, He Song’s thoughts about the information regarding this Water Spirit Essence left in the jade slip by the Fallen Snow True Monarch grew a bit cloudy.

From the words of the auctioneer at the Treasure Pavilion, He Song gained a message completely different from the one left in the jade slip by the Fallen Snow True Monarch.

According to the information from the Fallen Snow True Monarch in the jade slip, the True Monarch stated that the outcome of refining Water Spirit Essence largely depended on luck.

If one were lucky, they could condense a Water Spiritual Root comparable to the cultivation speed of a Three Spirits Root cultivator.

But if one were unlucky, they would only condense a Water Spiritual Root comparable to the cultivation speed of a Five Spirits Roots cultivator.

It could be said that, according to the words of the Fallen Snow True Monarch,

using the Water Spirit Essence was more akin to gambling with one’s life.

But from the mouth of the auctioneer at the Treasure Pavilion, He Song heard a completely different perspective.

Water Spirit Essence is actually divided into different qualities.

The piece he got from the cave mansion of the Fallen Snow True Monarch was only Mid-grade Water Spirit Essence.

At most, it could condense a Water Elemental Root comparable to a Four Spirits Roots.

Above that, there was High-grade Water Spirit Essence that could condense a Water Elemental Root comparable to Three Spirits Roots.

And precisely because he heard this from the auctioneer,

He Song felt a sense of relief for not having used that piece of Water Spirit Essence before.

It was fortunate, indeed.

He had resisted the temptation and had not rushed to use the Water Spirit Essence.

Otherwise, even if he truly refined that piece of Water Spirit Essence, his cultivation speed might still only be in the realm of Four Spirits Roots.

And by that time, he might simply think it was just his lack of luck and wouldn’t consider other possibilities.

However, He Song, who had not used the Water Spirit Essence,

if he found a piece of High-grade Water Spirit Essence in the future, could improve his cultivation speed to the level comparable to a Three Spirits Root cultivator.@@novelbin@@

At that time, He Song’s future pace of cultivation would naturally reach a new height.

For He Song,

if his cultivation speed could be somewhat faster,

with his diligence during seclusive cultivation, the time for him to gain greater strength would be significantly reduced.

If that were the case, He Song’s power would naturally become much stronger in a shorter period of time.

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, He Song looked towards the auction hall.

His gaze became more serious.

Since his initial choice was not wrong,

the method and effects of using the Water Spirit Essence he had on hand, as well as his previous thoughts, indeed had been altered by the Fallen Snow True Monarch.

In that case, should he bid for the Water Spirit Essence that was currently on offer?

It must be known,

the piece of Water Spirit Essence that He Song currently possessed had no known Refining Method.

Moreover, the Fallen Snow True Monarch had even revised the method of use and the effects of the Water Spirit Essence.

In such a situation, He Song now even doubted if the Water Spirit Essence on him had been tampered with by the Fallen Snow True Monarch.

Thus, if He Song wanted to use the Water Spirit Essence, the one currently being auctioned had become his only choice.

To bid for this Water Spirit Essence and obtain the Refining Method from the Treasure Pavilion.

Became the sole method for He Song to use the Water Spirit Essence.

However, the one regret was,

The Water Spirit Essence being auctioned this time was not top-grade, but merely mid-grade in quality.

For He Song, it was tasteless to consume, yet a pity to discard.

But.

To acquire the Refining Method of the Water Spirit Essence, bidding for the current piece was the only way.

If he let others win it, He Song might never obtain a top-grade Water Spirit Essence elsewhere, nor the Refining Method in the future.

Such a scenario was definitely unacceptable to He Song.

And for this very reason,

He Song hesitated whether to bid for this Water Spirit Essence and obtain the Refining Method from the Treasure Pavilion.

However, just as He Song was hesitating over whether to bid for this Water Spirit Essence, which was essentially useless to him,

Xiao Qing beside him noticed the hesitation in He Song’s eyes.

Her gaze swept over the Water Spirit Essence currently up for auction.

Then she turned it back to He Song, who now looked doubtful.

A thought struck Xiao Qing.

And with that, the auctioneer’s introduction of the Water Spirit Essence at the earlier auction flashed through her mind.

After summarizing the information,

Xiao Qing instantly speculated about the expression on He Song’s face.

With He Song’s Golden Elixir Realm cultivation, obtaining this item would be a piece of cake.

His hesitation at this moment, could it be that the item was useless to him, but if purchased, it could offer some advantages?

As this thought crossed her mind, Xiao Qing suddenly had an epiphany.

And with this thought,

Xiao Qing, who had lived exclusively in the Treasure Pavilion, naturally thought of something.

“Sir, do you aim to get the Refining Method of this Water Spirit Essence without spending a fortune in spirit stones competing with other cultivators?”

“If so, Sir needn’t worry.”

“Since the auctioneer has already stated that the Refining Method would be provided upon winning the item,”

“Then the Refining Method for this item is probably not an incredibly precious Secret Technique.”

“The Treasure Pavilion’s trove would surely hold plenty.”

“In that case, if you require it, Sir, I could effortlessly procure it for you,”

“Without necessarily having to win this item at auction.”

“Would you still be interested, Sir?”

Xiao Qing’s crisp voice quietly arose.

And for He Song, who was deliberating whether to bid for the Water Spirit Essence before him, it brought a swift response.

Looking at Xiao Qing, He Song thought for a moment and quickly realized why she would ask such a question.

However, this made He Song inwardly caution himself.

He had indeed been quite obvious in his behavior.

It seemed that if he encountered a similar situation in the future, he should better mask his facial expressions and the light in his eyes.

Besides that, He Song felt no other concerns.

Although the Water Spirit Essence was precious, it was likely not much to a Golden Elixir Master.

Knowing the value of the item, He Song felt more relaxed, and it was natural to display it frankly.

Even if others knew he possessed the Water Spirit Essence, with He Song’s cultivation, there was truly no need to worry.

In such a situation, He Song simply cautioned himself, with no other major concerns.

Let them know, if they must.

After all, it could also bring forth a helpful suggestion for him.

With that in mind, He Song contemplated Xiao Qing’s words and immediately had an idea.
