Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

Chapter 151: Cloud Boat

The appearance of the top-grade spiritual weapon pushed the atmosphere in the hall to its climax.

Not everyone knows the benefits of the dragon scale fruit.

However, the best spiritual weapon is what most of the foundation-building cultivators desire to obtain.

The monk in the bamboo hat was the first to bid: "Ninety middle-grade spirit stones!"

But this time, no one backed down. A foundation-building cultivator followed suit and made a bid: "I'll offer ninety-one pieces!"

"Ninety-three spiritual stones!"

There were so many people bidding that the price of this top-grade spiritual weapon instantly soared to one hundred spiritual stones.

After Chen Yuan bought the Broken Moon Spear Talisman, he only had 165 spirit stones left. He still needed to buy a top-grade defensive spirit weapon. He had no interest in the Pinghai Spear and was just watching the crowd bid.

Soon, Ping Haige's price reached 110 medium-grade spirit stones, and only three people were still bidding, including the monk in the bamboo hat.

He directly shouted out a high price: "One hundred and fifteen dollars!"

A monk who was still bidding turned to look at the monk in the bamboo hat and said in a very cold voice: "Fellow Daoist, don't be too greedy! You have already bid for the Dragon Scale Fruit, and you are also bidding on this Pinghai Spear. Do you want to take all the treasures into your pocket?"

The monk in the bamboo hat said calmly, "I only know that at the Treasure Gathering, the highest bidder wins. If you want to bid for this spear, just make your bid."

The monk who was bidding angrily said, "Okay, I'll offer one hundred and sixteen middle-grade spirit stones!"

The monk in the bamboo hat said calmly, "One hundred and twenty yuan."

The bidding monk suddenly stood up and glared at him: "You..."

"Ahem!" The wealthy monk coughed lightly and said in a louder voice, "Does this fellow Taoist want to continue bidding?"

The bidding monk did not dare to do anything more, and sat back on the cushion, saying coldly: "One hundred and twenty-one spirit stones!"

The monk in the bamboo hat said calmly, "One hundred and twenty-five dollars."

The bidding monk looked at him coldly, but stopped bidding.

The wealthy monk looked at another monk who was bidding before and asked, "Are there any other fellow Taoists who want to bid?"

The man shook his head helplessly, and everyone else remained silent.

The financial resources of the monk in the bamboo hat seemed to be bottomless. He had already bought the Wind Escape Talisman and the Dragon Scale Fruit. Together with this Pinghai Spear, he had at least three hundred mid-grade spirit stones on him, which was more than an ordinary monk in the late stage of foundation building could obtain.

No one had the confidence to bid against him anymore, and after all, Ping Hai Ge was only a top-grade spiritual weapon, and the price of 125 medium-grade spiritual stones was already the maximum.

Seeing that no one was bidding, the wealthy monk smiled and said to the monk in the bamboo hat, "One hundred and twenty-five medium-grade spirit stones, deal!"

Afterwards, the two men completed the transaction. The wealthy monk bowed and said in a loud voice, "Qian has sold all the treasures in his hands. Now I will hand them over to you fellow Taoists."

After saying that, he stepped on the ground and flew to the top of the platform. He sat down on an empty cushion and looked at the center stage with a smile on his face.

A monk in a grey robe and a wooden mask came to the platform. He touched his storage bag and a black fishing net about a foot in size appeared out of thin air in front of him.

"The Hundred Locks Net, a mid-grade spiritual weapon, is made of black-bellied spider silk. It has a tough texture and can be transformed into a size of several feet. It is highly poisonous and is very effective against aquatic monsters. I would like to exchange it for thirty-five mid-grade spiritual stones."

As soon as the gray-robed monk finished speaking, someone offered: "Thirty-five spirit stones, I want this net!"

Then someone else shouted, "Wait a minute, I'll give you thirty-six spirit stones!"

Lingyun Market is close to Mingcang Lake, which is home to many aquatic monsters. This Hundred Locks Net is just an ordinary mid-grade spiritual weapon elsewhere, but here, it is quite popular, which is why the gray-robed monk dares to ask for a high price.

Soon, the Hundred Locks Net was sold for forty-one medium-grade spirit stones, far exceeding the market price of thirty yuan for an ordinary medium-grade spirit weapon.

The gray-robed monk returned with satisfaction. A tall monk who also covered his face came to the square platform, stroked his storage bag, took out two wooden boxes, and said loudly: "I have two fourth-level demon pills in my hand, which came from the black water turtle and the yellow Chang fish respectively. I want to exchange them for a bottle of mid-stage foundation-building pill!"

After he finished speaking, he waited for a while, and seeing that no one answered, he had to change his words: "If you don't have the foundation-building mid-stage elixir, I'm willing to exchange it for twenty mid-grade spirit stones!"

This time, someone quickly made a bid, and after two bids, the transaction was completed at twenty-two medium-grade spirit stones.

The elixir for the middle stage of foundation building is so precious that this person wants to exchange it for two level 4 demon pills. It can only be said to be wishful thinking.

However, he still had some self-awareness. When he saw that there was no one to take advantage of him, he immediately changed the conditions, otherwise he would only be laughed at.

Then three more people came on stage. The treasures in their hands were precious to the foundation-building cultivators, and they were all exchanged away. However, no one took out a top-grade defensive spiritual weapon.

Chen Yuan had not made any move and was not in a hurry. The things these three people took out were things he had never seen before, and it was a good opportunity to broaden his horizons.

At this time, a foundation-building cultivator wearing a green shirt and a black scarf came to the square platform, touched his storage bag, and took out a three-inch long green small.

"I have a top-grade Cloud Flying Boat in my hand, which has a real feather of a fifth-level Wind Luan mixed in. It has an extremely fast speed and is silent when flying. If it is fully activated, its speed can be doubled within a quarter of an hour. It is even not inferior to that of a cultivator in the early stage of Jindan. I would like to exchange it for seventy mid-grade spirit stones!" As soon as the green-shirted cultivator finished speaking, it immediately attracted the attention of many cultivators. Chen Yuan also became interested in this Cloud Flying Boat.

According to the green-robed cultivator, the speed of this boat is even comparable to that of a cultivator in the early stage of the Jindan stage. If he buys it and is defeated by his opponent, he can use this boat to escape, which will greatly increase his chances of surviving the demonic calamity.

But this Cloud Crossing Boat is only a top-grade spiritual weapon, yet its speed of flight is so fast and its price is so low, which inevitably makes people suspicious.

Therefore, after the monk in green robes finished speaking, no one immediately made a bid.

A skinny monk stood up and bowed to the monk in green robes, saying, "Excuse me, fellow Taoist, this Duyun Boat is so fast, is there any flaw?"

The green-robed monk glanced at the wealthy monk and said helplessly, "This boat is fine for normal use, but since it contains a fifth-level wind phoenix feather, if you use it with all your strength, the wind phoenix's magical power will be released and flow back into your meridians. If you have a weak body, it may damage your internal organs and meridians."

As soon as these words were spoken, the eager gazes that were originally directed at Du Yunzhou immediately cooled down. The hall was completely silent, and no one was bidding.

When a cultivator needs to use all his strength to control a flying magic weapon, it is often a matter of life and death. If he is suddenly injured at this time, or in a vital part such as the internal organs and meridians, wouldn't that be courting death?
When the green-robed monk saw that no one made an offer, he sighed and was about to put away the Duyun Boat.

He also didn't want to reveal the defects of the Duyun Boat, but if he concealed the matter, and the person who bought the boat had a problem and informed the person in charge of the Jubao Society, he would find the green-robed monk and ask for an explanation.

But his true face has been exposed in front of the owner of Cai Fu Zhai, and he has nowhere to hide.

Therefore, he could only tell the truth and dared not hide anything.

The green-robed monk was overjoyed when he got the Duyun Boat, but his meridians were injured when he was trying his best to control the boat to escape.

Fortunately, he was lucky and finally escaped with his life, but he never dared to control the Duyun Boat again for fear of being injured again, so he took it to the Treasure Gathering Meeting and wanted to exchange it for spirit stones.

But now it seems that everyone has the same concerns as him and has no confidence in being able to control this Duyun Boat.

But just as the green-robed monk was about to put away the Cloud Crossing Boat, a hoarse voice suddenly sounded: "I am somewhat interested in the Cloud Crossing Boat in your hands, but this boat has too many defects, and the price of seventy spirit stones is a bit high. I wonder if you can lower the price a bit?"

Upon hearing this, the green-robed monk's eyes lit up with joy, and he said repeatedly: "This is easy to discuss. As long as Daoist friend takes out sixty spirit stones, this boat will belong to Daoist friend."

An ordinary high-grade spiritual weapon can be sold for sixty medium-grade spiritual stones, not to mention that a fifth-level wind phoenix feather is mixed into the Duyun Boat. Even if it has some defects, it is very cost-effective to buy it at this price.

The person who made the offer was Chen Yuan, who immediately agreed: "Then I'll follow your advice."

He took out a blank storage bag, put sixty mid-grade spirit stones into it, raised his hand and waved it, and placed it on the square platform.

Fortunately, Chen Yuan had wiped out many disciples of Ziyang Sect and Guiyuan Sect in the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain, so he had no shortage of storage bags. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to take out a bunch of spirit stones for trading.

The green-robed monk took the storage bag, probed his spiritual sense into it, and after confirming the number of spirit stones was correct, he immediately waved his hand and sent the Duyun Boat over.

Chen Yuan injected his true energy into the Duyun Boat, checked it carefully, nodded with satisfaction, and put it into his storage bag.

What the green-robed monk said should be true. This spirit boat contains an extremely strong wind-moving spiritual energy, which should be due to the addition of the fifth-level wind phoenix true feather.

When everyone in the hall saw Chen Yuan buy the Duyun Boat, some people showed ridicule in their eyes.

When monks are fighting, the most important thing to avoid is any unexpected events.

Although this flying boat is good, it has the disadvantage of hurting its owner, and is not as safe as an ordinary high-quality spirit boat.

In their opinion, although Chen Yuan was wealthy, he was blinded by the speed of the Duyun Boat and would be in trouble sooner or later.

Only the monk in the bamboo hat had clear eyes and a thoughtful look.

Others might think that Chen Yuan was short-sighted and only cared about small profits, but he did not underestimate Chen Yuan at all.

Even if he took the dragon scale fruit to strengthen his body, he would not be able to resist the backlash of the fifth-level wind phoenix demon power.

Moreover, he already had a flying weapon that was as powerful as the Duyun Boat, so he did not bid.

Since this person has purchased the Duyun Boat, does he have any way to strengthen his body?

The monk in the bamboo hat looked at Chen Yuan deeply, and only turned away after the next foundation-building monk came on stage, took out the items, and made a transaction.

Chen Yuan did not notice the gaze of the monk in the bamboo hat hidden under his veil. He was in a very good mood at the moment and could not wait to test the speed of the Duyun Boat.

With this boat in hand, his ability to survive will be greatly enhanced.

For other cultivators, strengthening the physical body is as difficult as ascending to heaven, and it is extremely difficult to resist the backlash of the Duyun Boat.

But his physical body is comparable to that of a fourth-level demon beast. Not to mention the fifth-level Feng Luan's demonic power, he can easily resist even the sixth or even seventh-level Feng Luan's demonic power.

Even though I failed to purchase the defensive spiritual weapon, the trip was worthwhile as I bought the Fire Cloud Gourd and the Cloud Flying Boat.
