Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 381 Rouge's Enchantment. (Third update!)

Upon hearing the word "deal," Zheng Que immediately felt relieved. Twenty-six thousand spirit stones was not a small amount, but he didn't lack them now.

For him, being able to acquire top-grade Foundation Establishment materials at this price was already quite good!

Soon, the female cultivator in colorful clothes carried the wooden box containing the inner core of the "Soul Puppet" through the crowd to Zheng Que's side. After letting him check it, she closed the wooden box again in front of him, smoothed out the sealing talisman, and then presented the wooden box to him.

This is the auction rule of Heminglou: for ordinary items, the transaction is carried out immediately after the auction.

Of course, if the person consigning the item is unable to pay on time, they can stay and settle the account carefully after the auction ends.

Zheng Que did not hesitate. He immediately took 26,000 low-grade spirit stones from his storage bag, put them into an empty storage bag, and handed it over.

The female cultivator in colorful clothes took the storage bag, confirmed that the number of spirit stones was correct, smiled sweetly, picked up the empty lacquer tray, and turned to leave.

Immediately afterwards, from the portal behind the stone wall, two more female cultivators in colorful clothes worked together to carry out a blood-red coffin.

Zheng Que glanced at the blood coffin and shook his head slightly.

He has already acquired the materials for the Heavenly Foundation Establishment stage, and he won't make any moves on the following auction items unless he particularly needs them.

After all, in these kinds of auctions, the best items are usually saved for last.

He just spent 26,000 low-grade spirit stones right away, so he needs to be careful from now on and conserve his strength.

At this moment, Tao Xiliang glanced at the blood coffin and immediately said, "The second item to be auctioned is the [Frosty Blood Coffin]."

"This item comes from the Heavenly Artifact Sect."

"It can be used to refine blood corpses, cold fiends, and blood slaves."

"This is an excellent artifact for raising corpses!"

"Besides, if danger comes, the master only needs to hide in this blood coffin, and even if the ghosts of the Iron Tree Prison come, they will hardly be able to detect it."

"If it were just a ghost from the [Scissors Prison], it wouldn't be able to break through the defenses of this blood coffin at all."

"In other words, this is also a very good life-saving artifact!"

"Starting bid: 15,000 low-grade spirit stones."

"Same as always, each bid increase must be no less than one thousand low-grade spirit stones!"

Hearing this introduction, Zheng Que was initially not interested in the blood coffin, but upon hearing that it could save his life, he immediately sat up straight and sent a telepathic message to Mu Xiangu, asking, "Mu Xiangu, can you sense the space inside that blood coffin?"

Mu Xiangu's voice quickly followed: "That blood coffin is a bit strange; it can block my divine sense from perceiving it."

"However, it's not as good as the auctioneer made it out to be."

"If someone is really hiding in that blood coffin, even if I can't sense that person's presence, I will definitely go and open it to take a look when I see this extraordinary blood coffin."

"Unless it's a mindless [Iron Tree Prison], there's a tiny chance we can fool it."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Que nodded to himself.

He immediately realized that this blood coffin could only deal with the ghosts of the [Scissors Prison]. It was unrealistic to expect it to save his life from the ghosts of the [Iron Tree Prison].

Of course, this is a magical artifact that can be used for defense, so you can clap along a few times.

If the price is too high, then there's absolutely no need to bid on it.

Just as Zheng Que was pondering, bidding began to rise and fall in the arena...

"Sixteen thousand low-grade spirit stones!"

"Eighteen thousand!"

"Nineteen thousand..." Zheng Que shouted after him, "Twenty thousand spirit stones!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Guangchang, who had just bid against him, immediately chimed in: "Twenty-five thousand low-grade spirit stones!"

As soon as Feng Guangchang made his bid, the other bidders immediately fell silent.

Without hesitation, Zheng Que called out the same price as the first item: "Twenty-six thousand low-grade spirit stones!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Guangchang gave a cold laugh and spoke again: "Thirty thousand low-grade spirit stones!"

Thirty thousand spirit stones?

Zheng Que frowned. The price offered by Guangchang was too high; he didn't want it!
then……

"Thirty thousand low-grade spirit stones for the first time."

"Thirty thousand low-grade spirit stones, second time..."

"Thirty thousand low-grade spirit stones, for the third time!"

"make a deal!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the two female cultivators in colorful robes on the stage immediately raised the blood coffin with smiles and walked towards Feng Guangchang.

Seeing this scene, Feng Guangchang frowned. He was an alchemist and did not cultivate the art of "corpse raising". What use was this blood coffin to him?

He was distracted and missed bidding for the inner core. He was deliberately trying to raise the price for that young punk from Hengshui County, but after only raising the price twice, the other party gave up.
Was that brat deliberately playing a trick on him?
snort!
very good!
Hengshui County is truly wonderful!
At this moment, seeing that Feng Guangchang was sitting in the chair without any reaction, the two female cultivators carrying the coffin urged, "Fellow Daoist Feng, the auction item has been delivered. Please pay the spirit stones immediately."

Upon hearing this, Feng Guangchang finally came to his senses, glanced at Zheng Que again, and then forced himself to complete the transaction while suppressing his anger...

Soon, the third item was brought to the stage.

The third item in the auction was a cage covered with a black cloth.

The black cloth hung low, covering most of the cage. Only traces of the fence could be seen at the corners, and the items inside could not be seen at all.

Through the black cloth, one could hear the faint rustling of chains coming from inside.

This appears to be a living thing?
Judging from the reactions of the female cultivators in colorful clothes who brought the cage up, they were clearly quite wary of what was inside.

This immediately piqued everyone's curiosity, and they all looked over, secretly speculating about what was happening under the black cloth.

Tao Xiliang didn't keep him in suspense any longer. He walked directly to the cage, grabbed the black cloth, and ripped it off.

Inside the cage was a beautiful young girl!
The girl had arched eyebrows that reached her temples, large, round almond-shaped eyes, and pale, translucent skin, as if she were a piece of jade. She was beautiful and graceful, wearing a lake-colored satin embroidered with light-colored bamboo patterns, a narrow-sleeved short blouse, a crimson gauze skirt, and crimson satin embroidered with colorful beads and short boots. She looked like a beautiful flower, but her whole body was filled with a heavy yin energy, and her expression was full of fierceness.

At this moment, her hands and feet were firmly bound by chains engraved with runes. When she looked at the crowd, she still kept baring her teeth, as if she wanted to devour someone.

This is a female ghost from the [Scissors Hell]!

After looking at it for a while, Tao Xiliang and the others said, "The third item is 'Rouge Evil' from the [Scissors Prison]."

"This female ghost has already developed intelligence and can understand human speech."

"However, there is something I need to clarify first."

“This female ghost is neither a 'vengeful spirit' nor a 'fierce spirit,' so ordinary methods of enslaving ghosts cannot control her.”

"The starting bid is 20,000 low-grade spirit stones."

"Each bid increase must be no less than one thousand low-grade spirit stones!"
