Primordial Ancestor: Leading the human race into seclusion at the beginning

Chapter 153 Taiqing: I feel like I'm being targeted? Taiqing's face turned green!

"The starting bid is for a top-grade innate spiritual treasure?"

"This"

"Too expensive? Hmph, if you could exchange a top-grade innate spiritual treasure for a wisp of Primordial Purple Qi, even saints would fight tooth and nail for it!"

Inside the purple palace, the Three Pure Ones, Zhunti and Jieyin, the various saints of the Heavenly Dao, and many other great supernatural beings all sat cross-legged on futons.

Reactions to the starting price of Hongmeng Ziqi varied.

Most of the powerful cultivators, secretly marveling, had already given up. After all, top-grade innate spiritual treasures are not as common as cabbages; even treasures of equal value are few and far between in the primordial world.

Clearly, only the top quasi-saint powerhouses and Heavenly Dao Saints in the prehistoric world can compete for this Primordial Purple Qi.

"This treasure is a fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation, which I obtained by sheer luck, and it is worth 1.5 billion merit coins!"

Just then, a cultivator dressed in a blue robe spoke.

It exuded the cultivation level of a late-stage Quasi-Saint, yet it was not well-known in the prehistoric world.

However, he is also a genuine top-tier supernatural being, transformed from the first whale ancestor at the beginning of the primordial world. In the four seas, even a Quasi-Saint at the peak of his power cannot do anything to him.

Tempted by the Primordial Purple Qi, they made a decisive offer.

The fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation are genuine treasures for enlightenment. Even the smallest piece is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure!

The Primordial Purple Qi is itself a treasure for enlightenment, and it even has the potential to lead to sainthood. Exchanging it for fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation is a sure-fire way to make a profit.

"What a coincidence! I also have a fragment of this Enlightenment Treasure, the Jade Disc of Creation, which is worth about 1.3 billion merit coins!"

"The Big Dipper Seven Star Swords, each one is equivalent to a high-grade innate spiritual treasure. When their origins are unified, their power is comparable to a top-grade innate spiritual treasure! Fourteen billion merit coins!"

"This treasure is a rare artifact, a tome of incantations."

In a short time, many powerful individuals offered their bids. As the business world evolved, top-grade innate spiritual treasures were valued differently depending on the number of innate restrictions within them.

The most common top-grade innate spiritual treasure, that is, a top-grade innate spiritual treasure with thirty-seven restrictions, is worth about one billion merit coins.

A mid-grade top-quality innate spiritual treasure, valued between one billion and three billion.

High-grade, top-quality innate spiritual treasure, valued between 3 billion and 5 billion.

The highest quality ones, such as the Five-Directional Lotus Platform, contain forty-eight innate restrictions, and their value is already close to the tens of billions.

As many powerful beings made bids, the price of this Primordial Purple Qi quickly climbed to the level of 5 billion merits.

Even a late-stage Quasi-Saint or a peak-level expert would find it difficult to produce a treasure of this caliber!

"This treasure is a white jade flat staff, containing forty-seven innate restrictions, second only to the Five Directions Lotus Platform, and is worth six billion merit coins!"

Just then, Taiqing Laozi, who had been observing coldly, finally spoke. As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a white jade cane, causing many powerful beings present to gasp in astonishment. This was Taiqing Laozi's treasure for proving his Dao. Although it was not very useful to Taiqing at this moment, its value was unimaginable. It was formed from the root of the twenty-fourth grade Creation Green Lotus and was also a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. Unexpectedly, Taiqing Laozi took it out directly.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable and the Tongtian Sect Master, standing to the side, remained expressionless and did not make a bid. In terms of the treasure's resources, they were no less than the Taiqing Laozi.

However, the Three Pure Ones share the same roots and have a deep bond. Since Taiqing Laozi has already made an offer, they naturally cannot raise the price further.

As for Zhunti and Jieyin, they could only watch longingly. They also coveted the Primordial Purple Qi, but unfortunately, they were short of money and could not produce the corresponding treasures. They couldn't very well take out the Golden Lotus of Merit!

The other powerful beings and quasi-saints also looked at each other in bewilderment.

Let's not even talk about whether we can come up with a better treasure.

The one making the bid now is none other than the Supreme Saint of Taiqing. Could it be that someone wants to compete with a saint for the treasure? Offending the Heavenly Saint is no joke.

"If no one makes a bid, this Primordial Purple Qi will be..."

Taiqing Laozi smiled and said, "The white jade cane is not cheap, but it's still quite a bargain to exchange it for a wisp of Primordial Purple Qi."

and.

If I could help Grand Master Xuandu attain sainthood, with his wisdom and virtue as a precedent, then, given his human identity, it would probably be much easier for me to spread the Dao among humans.

"This treasure is the Twelfth Grade Karmic Fire Red Lotus, a Primordial Five Directions Lotus Platform, a top-grade Primordial Defensive Spiritual Treasure. It contains forty-eight Primordial Restrictions and is worth seven billion merit coins!"

But at that moment, a sudden voice rang out from below, causing the smile on Taiqing Laozi's face to freeze abruptly as he looked in the direction of the voice. The one making the bid was none other than Styx Ancestor.

The Five Directions Lotus Platform, the Pure White Lotus, can suppress the fortune of a great sect and is priced at 8.8 billion merit coins. The Karmic Fire Red Lotus is slightly inferior, but it is still worth a full 7 billion merit coins!
"Hmph! Fellow Daoist Styx, this Primordial Purple Qi is very important to me. I wonder if you would be willing to part with it and withdraw from the competition!"

Taiqing Laozi snorted coldly, his tone indifferent. Even in the realm of illusion and reality, the terrifying pressure of a saint still made many powerful beings and quasi-saints on the field feel breathless.

His words already contained a threat. Even a saint, though a saint, still has human emotions. Before the Primordial Purple Qi, even a saint of the Heavenly Dao cannot care about saving face.

"The auction will be held between the virtual and real realms, with the highest bidder winning. Since the Supreme Saint of Taiqing is interested, he may offer a treasure of even greater value than this Karmic Fire Red Lotus of mine!"

The Styx Ancestor, dressed in a red robe, showed no fear of Taiqing Laozi's threat.

The sea of ​​blood never dries up, the Styx never falls. In the primordial world, there are not many quasi-saints who dare to form a karmic bond with the Heavenly Dao Saint. He, the Styx Ancestor, is one of them!
Moreover, he has been trapped in the Quasi-Saint realm for too long. As the saying goes, "If one hears the Dao in the morning, one may die content in the evening." With the opportunity to prove the Dao and become a Saint before him, even a Heavenly Saint would not yield an inch!

"Good good!"

Taiqing Laozi was so angry that he laughed instead, and gave Styx Ancestor a deep look, as if he wanted to remember Styx Ancestor. In his heart, an unnamed fire was also rising.

Saints are immortal and indestructible, and they value their reputation above all else. At this moment, this Primordial Purple Qi is no longer just about the human race spreading the Dao, but also about his reputation as a Heavenly Dao Saint.

"This item is the Wind and Fire Futon, formed from the chaotic wind and fire during the creation of the world, and is worth forty billion merit coins!"

Taiqing Laozi felt a pang of regret. Having already obtained the position of one of the Five Ghost Emperors of the Underworld, he didn't have many treasures left to offer, and he absolutely couldn't bring out the most precious ones.

Ordinary treasures, even with the addition of the white jade crutch, are not as valuable as the Karmic Fire Red Lotus in the Five-Sided Lotus Platform.

Left with no other choice, they had to take out the fire-breathing prayer mat.

Although it is a futon, it is so vast that it contains chaotic wind and fire with astonishing power. It also contains the profound principles of creation and destruction. Sitting on it, one can better comprehend the evolution of heaven and earth.

In terms of value, it is astonishing even among top-grade innate spiritual treasures.

The two treasures combined are worth almost 10 billion merit coins, which would be painful even for a Heavenly Saint.

"The Supreme Saint of Taiqing offered the highest price and obtained a strand of Primordial Purple Qi!"

The Styx Ancestor did not make any further bids. Xuan Tian, ​​who was sitting on the cloud platform, also spoke directly. Soon, the two treasures were taken into his possession in the blink of an eye.

Similarly, that primordial purple energy slowly fell into the hands of Taiqing Laozi.

Seeing this, a hint of joy couldn't help but appear on Taiqing Laozi's face, even though the treasures he gave up made him feel a little pained.

However, obtaining such a treasure for enlightenment is absolutely worthwhile.

"This Primordial Purple Qi is somewhat different from the one bestowed upon me when the Dao Ancestor preached at Zixiao Palace. Hmm, it seems to be more profound."

Upon receiving the Primordial Purple Qi, Taiqing Laozi's expression changed slightly, but soon his expression brightened. This Primordial Purple Qi seemed to be even more profound and of better quality.

For the same price, you can get a higher quality version of Hongmeng Purple Qi, which is naturally a better deal.

Thinking about this made him feel even better.

"The auction continues. The second item for auction is..."

Since it's an auction, there's naturally more than just one item up for auction.

This is why powerful beings from the primordial era gather here; even if they can't exchange for the Primordial Purple Qi, it would be good to get some other treasures.

At this moment, Xuan Tian deliberately kept everyone in suspense, which aroused the curiosity of the Three Pure Ones, Zhunti Jieyin, and many other great supernatural beings.

next moment.

hum!
Three streams of primordial purple energy, identical to the previous ones, exuding an extremely profound aura, slowly reappeared.

"Three strands of Primordial Purple Qi! The top three bidders win!"

Xuan Tian spoke calmly.

"????"

Taiqing Laozi's eyes widened suddenly, and the smile on his face froze. The Primordial Purple Qi, which he had obtained with a total of 10 billion merit coins, no longer seemed so appealing!
