For more than ten consecutive days, Zhang Ling entered and exited various large libraries to check numerous books.
Besides learning about the Seven-Colored Seven-Leaf Flower and the Cloud-Swallowing Stone, he also identified most of the unfamiliar spiritual herbs he brought out from Tianyuan.
Regardless of their grade, these spiritual herbs were mostly rare species difficult to find outside.
Although most of these spiritual herbs were not very useful to him now, keeping them in reserve for future needs was a form of invisible wealth.
In addition to studying these spiritual herbs, Zhang Ling also specifically searched for books related to the Second Origin Mystic Art, wanting to understand this secret art better, but he didn't find much information.
Information about such powerful supernatural secret arts was only sparsely mentioned in ancient books, and that was it.
Of course, if he could enter the Myriad Laws Tower in the central area of Myriad Manifestation City again, he might find more information in this regard.
But the Myriad Laws Tower was not so easy to enter; one needed the credentials of Myriad Manifestation City.
During this time, Zhang Ling also sold some of the desolate beast materials he didn't need, exchanging them for a lot of spirit stones and the materials he needed.
This evening, Zhang Ling came to a large market in the east of Myriad Manifestation City, went straight to a prosperous street, and entered a luxurious阁楼. There were many cultivators inside, and an auction was being held.
This auction was jointly organized by several commercial alliances such as the Myriad Treasures Tower, the Flowing Cloud Workshop, and the Heavenly Cloud Trading Company.
Such a large-scale auction would only be held once every few years, even in a super immortal city like Myriad Manifestation City.
But in the past half-month or so, Myriad Manifestation City held an auction every few days.
The frequent auctions were actually closely related to the cultivators who entered and exited Tianyuan.
It had been several months since Tianyuan opened, and it could be said that all the cultivators who could come out of the Tianyuan Secret Realm had already come out.
Those who couldn't come out were basically buried in Tianyuan.
The spiritual herbs, treasures, and other spiritual objects brought out by these people also began to circulate in the market, and the auctions held in Myriad Manifestation City during this period were held for this reason.
Indeed, many rare things had flowed out. In the West City auction three days ago, two ancient treasures with considerable power appeared, and many cultivators snapped them up.
He had participated in the auction a few days ago and spent some spirit stones to buy some of the things he needed, including a Ulan Flower with a medicinal age of about five hundred years.
This was a rare third-grade spiritual herb. The age of this flower was secondary. This spiritual herb was exactly the auxiliary spiritual herb he lacked and was an indispensable auxiliary spiritual herb for refining the Nascent Soul Pill.
He hadn't collected it before, but he didn't expect to buy it at the auction.
Basically, he had collected all the spiritual herbs for refining the Nascent Soul Pill. As long as he returned to the cave, he would carefully cultivate these people.
Zhang Ling himself could refine the dream-seeking Nascent Soul Pill.
It was not easy for forces like the top ten sects to refine this kind of top-notch pill for breaking through the realm.
The biggest reason for this was that the main material of the Nascent Soul Pill, the Earth Spirit Fruit, only grew in a specific place.
Zhang Ling naturally couldn't miss the auction held again today.
After entering the auction venue, Zhang Ling did not enter the hall first, but entered a secret room led by a white-clothed servant.
Soon after, he came out with a jade card and went directly into the auction venue, sitting in an elegant room.
At this moment, the auction had already begun, and it had been going on for a while.
In the venue, a short-haired female cultivator was introducing a long whip-type magic weapon.
"Ink Bone Whip, a top-notch magic weapon made of the spiritual bones of a sixth-order Ink Fish. This treasure was carefully refined by Master Gan Ye of the Divine Armament Sect. It has just been refined and has not been sacrificed by any cultivator. It can be used as a natal magic weapon. The reserve price is 450,000 spirit stones."
This female cultivator also had the strength of the early stage of the Golden Core. With a wave of the magic formula in her hand, a bone whip composed of black bones transformed into dozens of black whip shadows with a swish, and the cracking sound of breaking wind resounded in her ears.
This woman only slightly urged the magic weapon, and countless black light marks appeared all around her, at first glance, there were hundreds of them, with considerable power.
The voices of cultivators outside bidding were endless. After a cup of tea, this magic weapon was auctioned off by other cultivators.
Zhang Ling just watched all this coldly without much reaction. He participated in the auction just to search for the few spiritual objects he lacked most now.
This kind of ordinary magic weapon was no longer of great use to him, so naturally he would not be interested.
But the enthusiasm of other cultivators was not diminished at all.
Time passed little by little, and in a blink of an eye, an incense stick of time passed, and this auction also entered a climax.
The treasures that appeared were all of great value. There were several thousand-year-old spiritual herbs alone, but none of them were what Zhang Ling wanted, so he had not made a move.
At this time, after the short-haired female cultivator auctioned off a thousand-year-old spiritual grass, she clapped her white hands, and five or six palm-sized scales appeared in her hands. Then the female cultivator waved her hand again, and a crimson round bead appeared in her hand.
The woman carried a few scales and a crimson round bead, and began to introduce with a smile.
"This auction is coming to an end. Before that, our commercial alliance issued a special treasure exchange message at the request of a Taoist friend. Everyone, please take a good look. This is the inner elixir and scales of a seventh-order Fire Flood Dragon. That Taoist friend has a complete seventh-order Fire Flood Dragon desolate beast and requires to exchange for a turtle-like monster soul of the same seventh-order strength. Everyone, listen carefully, it is a monster soul. If any Taoist friend is interested, please contact the commercial alliance. Okay, next is the three treasures that will be the finale of this auction, everyone, please see."
After the short-haired female cultivator finished speaking, the scales and demon pills in her hand disappeared in a flash. Then she waved her hands and a jade slip and a black round bead appeared. She introduced again.
"The first treasure of this auction finale is in these two jade slips, which record a top-notch magic way technique from the ancient times, the Illusory Spirit Magic Cloud Art. Presumably everyone has heard of the Magic Cloud Art. Maybe some of you here are practicing this technique, but most of the Magic Cloud Art circulating in the immortal cultivation world today are incomplete copies, and this Illusory Spirit Magic Cloud Art is a complete copy. Among them, there are extremely main cultivation techniques and many secret techniques. A senior accidentally found the complete technique from a spiritual mountain in Tianyuan. Interested Taoist friends should not miss it. The Illusory Spirit Magic Cloud Art complete technique set, the reserve price is 800,000 spirit stones."
"This seat bids 800,000 spirit stones."
Humph! This old man is determined to get it, bidding 900,000 spirit stones.
......
As soon as the short-haired female cultivator finished introducing the finale items, someone immediately started bidding. The bidding voices sounded one after another. In a blink of an eye, this Illusory Spirit Magic Cloud Art soared to one million spirit stones.
"Hehe, I didn't expect it to be the inheritance technique of the ancient Demon Sect, the Demon Cloud Sect." Zhang Ling looked at the fierce situation in the auction venue below and couldn't help but smile.
The Demon Cloud Sect was very famous in ancient times, no less than the Saint Demon Sect in the top ten sects. Its inherited technique, the Magic Cloud Art, has many versions circulating in the immortal cultivation world. Indeed, many magic way cultivators mainly practice this technique. It is indeed a top-notch magic way technique.
Zhang Ling couldn't help but have a little thought, but after thinking about it, he didn't bid. He has many complete techniques on him, and he can't practice them all. Recently, he has obtained several secret techniques, and he won't covet any magic way techniques.
As for the Fire Flood Dragon scales and demon pills that the short-haired female cultivator took out just now, they were naturally what he had just deposited in this auction. He wanted to exchange these materials for the monster soul of a turtle-like monster of the same seventh order.
As for why he collected the monster soul of turtle-like monsters, it was related to Zhang Ling's next cultivation plan.
In the past half-month or so, he has also been collecting the souls of turtle-like monsters, but he has only collected the soul of a fifth-order Rock Turtle, which is too inefficient. It just so happened that there was an auction today, so he took this opportunity to publish this information at the auction house.
In the past, he would go to Xueyue Tower to publish this kind of material collection information. After all, Xueyue Tower is for collecting and selling information.
But Zhang Ling doesn't dare to go to Xueyue Tower now. The Blood Soul Cauldron in his hand has too much relationship with Xueyue Tower, so naturally he won't go to Xueyue Tower again.
Maybe someone will detect that he has a blood cauldron as soon as he enters.
