Chapter 198: The Blueprint is Obtained

Time slowly passed.

As the auction items appeared one by one, Zhang Yuhe's eyes were opened wide.

There were various types of Immortal Artifacts, talismans, Immortal Pills, Formation Plates, and so on.

Among them, Immortal-grade Cultivation Techniques and Divine Abilities also appeared multiple times in succession.

As for various Spirit Medicines, spirit fruits, and Immortal-grade Ores, they appeared even more frequently.

There was even an Earth Spirit Holy Fruit that appeared in the auction.

In the end, it was auctioned off to a True Immortal Cultivator for the price of two hundred million Immortal Spirit Stones.

The cultivation environment of a large sea domain was indeed incomparable to that of a small place.

For a True Immortal Cultivator in the Ji'an Sea Area, wanting to find an Earth Spirit Holy Fruit…

…was simply harder than ascending to heaven.

However, in the Heavenly Palace Sea Domain, as long as one had Immortal Spirit Stones, they could buy it.

Although the price was indeed a bit expensive,

at least there was a way to obtain it.

Items were continuously auctioned off one after another.

However, Zhang Yuhe had no interest in these things, so he did not make any bids.

On the other hand, Yu Liwei, who was beside him, bid on and won some Chaos Beast Crystal Cores.

Her five Mid-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannons…

…required a Golden Immortal Realm Chaos Beast Crystal Core every time they fired.

They were completely five gold-swallowing beasts.

However, no one would dislike such gold-swallowing beasts.

Zhang Yuhe sat nearby, raising his teacup to drink tea quietly.

The refining blueprint for the Mid-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannon had still not appeared.

The Seven Stars Tower had not revealed what items would be in this auction.

Before the items were placed on the auction stage, nobody knew anything.

However, he was in no hurry.

It would be best if there was a blueprint.

If not, it didn't matter.

He would just find an opportunity to get one from somewhere else in the future.

Time slowly passed.

After the three hundred and eighty-seventh item was auctioned off,

Liu Yichang on the auction stage shouted loudly to the crowd.

"Next, we will auction the final three finale items. I know many Fellow Daoists have waited so long precisely for these three items."

"I believe you won't be disappointed."

"Without further ado, we will now auction the first finale item: one Mid-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannon."

"I believe I don't need to say much about the power of the Mid-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannon; everyone knows it."

"It can easily kill Golden Immortal Cultivators, and even a Golden Immortal Realm Chaos Beast…"

"…cannot withstand a few attacks from the Mid-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannon."

"The starting bid for the Mid-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannon is five hundred million Immortal Spirit Stones, with each bid increment of no less than one hundred million Immortal Spirit Stones."

"Five hundred million."

"Six hundred million."

"Eight hundred million."

"One billion."

Just as Liu Yichang finished speaking, the price of this Mid-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannon quickly surged to one billion.

Zhang Yuhe was somewhat speechless.

Was this thing really that valuable?

But on second thought, it was normal.

For ordinary forces,

as long as they had a single Mid-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannon, it could serve as a sect-protecting foundation.

Back then, the Dao Saint Sect relied on three Mid-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannons to block the attacks of the two major Families.

Such a weapon of mass destruction—

as long as it could be bought with Immortal Spirit Stones, no amount was considered expensive.

Watching the price continuously climb,

Zhang Yuhe subconsciously glanced at Yu Liwei beside him.

Yu Liwei, carrying five Mid-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannons, was definitely a super-rich lady.

However, she was indeed incredibly bold.

To actually walk around everywhere with five Mid-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannons like this,

without even worrying about being robbed.

But then again,

unless a Grand Unity Immortal Lord personally took action,

who else could withstand the bombardment of five Mid-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannons?

Yu Liwei truly had no fear of normal Golden Immortal Cultivators.

Even if she couldn't win, couldn't she just run?

With the deterrent force of the Mid-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannons, others couldn't even get close to her.

After a fierce competition, this Mid-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannon was finally sold at the price of 6.8 billion Immortal Spirit Stones.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Yuhe was completely dumbfounded.

Back then, even after searching the entire Ouyang Family, he had only found five billion Immortal Spirit Stones.

In other words,

a force like the Ouyang Family,

even if they emptied their entire coffers, could not afford a single Mid-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannon.

After the first finale item was auctioned off, Liu Yichang took out a Jade Slip and shouted loudly to the crowd.

"Next, we will auction the second finale item: the refining blueprint for the Mid-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannon."

"Without further ado, the starting bid is five hundred million Immortal Spirit Stones, with each bid increment of no less than one hundred million."

"Five hundred million."

"Six hundred million."

"Seven hundred million."

Compared to the previous Mid-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannon, the competition for the blueprint was obviously much less intense.

There was no helping it.

A completed Mid-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannon could be used immediately.

But a blueprint could not.

The refining difficulty of an Immortal Extermination Cannon was extremely high, and its core Materials were exceptionally precious.

Even if ordinary Cultivators obtained the blueprint, they would ultimately only be able to trade it away.

Keeping it in their hands was completely useless to them.

As the price slowly climbed, Zhang Yuhe decisively made his move.

"One billion."

"This Fellow Daoist has bid one billion Immortal Spirit Stones. Are there any other Fellow Daoists bidding?"

Seeing that the bidding for the blueprint had hit a lull,

Liu Yichang kept shouting to the crowd.

After a good while, someone from another private box finally offered a price.

"1.1 billion."

"1.5 billion."

Zhang Yuhe raised the bid without the slightest hesitation.

He was determined to obtain this Mid-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannon refining blueprint.

In any case, he did not lack Immortal Spirit Stones.

Seeing Zhang Yuhe bid repeatedly, Yu Liwei beside him couldn't help but feel a bit surprised.

However, she also knew that Zhang Yuhe's Artifact Refining skills were superb.

Once he got the blueprint, he might actually have a chance to refine a Mid-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannon.

As long as he could refine even one Mid-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannon, it would be a massive profit.

Therefore, she just watched quietly and did not speak to dissuade him.

"1.5 billion once. Are there any other Fellow Daoists bidding?"

"1.5 billion twice."

Once Zhang Yuhe raised the price to 1.5 billion Immortal Spirit Stones,

the venue fell silent, and no other Cultivators followed with a higher bid.

After asking the crowd multiple times, Liu Yichang had no choice but to strike the gavel.

"1.5 billion for the third time. Congratulations to this Fellow Daoist on successfully bidding for the Mid-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannon refining blueprint."

"Hope that in the near future, Fellow Daoist will be able to refine the Mid-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannon and strengthen the power of Cultivators against the Chaos Beasts."

After a short while,

a young girl in green robes walked into the private box holding a Jade Slip.

After Zhang Yuhe confirmed that the contents of the Jade Slip were correct, he paid the Immortal Spirit Stones in full.

Having obtained the item he needed, he did not have much interest in the final finale items.

He only wanted to go back early and quickly refine the Mid-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannon.

He had the Nine Flames Star Crystal, and the other Materials were very easy to collect.

They could be bought right in the Heavenly Palace Fair.

Right at this moment,

Liu Yichang on the auction stage picked up another Jade Slip and shouted loudly to the crowd.

"The final finale item of this auction: the Azure Cloud Aperture Opening Secret, which can open up to seven apertures."

As soon as Liu Yichang finished speaking, the venue instantly erupted into a commotion.

In the Immortal Realm, every Nascent Soul Aperture Opening Technique was extremely precious.

Secrets that allowed opening more than seven apertures were rarely circulated outside.

Six apertures corresponded to Golden Immortal Cultivators.

A secret that could open seven apertures meant that,

even after reaching the Grand Unity Immortal realm, it could still be used.

Such an aperture opening secret was rare even in the Heavenly Palace Sea Domain.
