Sword Conquers Heaven

2After auctioning dozens of items in a row, the atmosphere in the hall became even more heated. It was all thanks to Elder Chen, who was experienced. With just a few words, he was able to stir up the impulse of people to bid, and they all began to bid. Most of the goods were sold at a high price.    3

    

However, at that moment, Old Chen's face revealed a strange expression. He coughed dryly and said, "Everyone, the following goods are a little special. It was found by the experts of our building in a mysterious place.    

    

However, after many years of research, we did not find any use for it. The few senior appraisers of our building were also unable to determine what it was. However, we are certain that it is extraordinary. Today, we have specially brought it for auction and sent it to the fated person."    

    

After saying that, Old Chen waved his hand. A delicate looking woman came to the stage with a jade plate in her hand. She saw a dark stone lying quietly on the jade plate.    

    

The shape of the stone was irregular, and it had no luster at all. It looked very ordinary, as if it had been picked up by the roadside. However, Old Chen's words seemed somewhat mysterious. Moreover, the Jinjue House would never do such a ridiculous thing.    

    

Suddenly, the auction hall became silent. Everyone was staring at the ordinary stone, trying to figure out what was going on.    

    

Qin Feng was no exception. He kept staring at the stone, but no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't find anything special about it.    

    

He asked Lansley and Fu Lanming, who were beside him. They shook their heads helplessly. They did not know what this stone was or what it was used for.    

    

"That's..." At this moment, an excited voice echoed in Qin Feng's mind.    

    

"Master, do you know this stone?" Qin Feng's heart skipped a beat when he heard the voice, and he hurriedly asked via divine sense.    

    

"If I'm not wrong, it's a Things of Ancient Times." Duan Tianqiu's voice was slightly trembling.    

    

"Things of Ancient Times?" Qin Feng was unfamiliar with this word, but he was also interested in it.    

    

"A Profound Soul Ring is a Things of Ancient Times."    

    

"Oh?" Qin Feng could not help but lower his head and look at the ordinary ancient ring. His finger rubbed it.    

    

"Ancient means a period of time at least several hundred thousand years ago. The Things of Ancient Times is something that has been passed down from ancient times. Every single one of them that has been left behind from the ancient era until now is extremely extraordinary. They can be called supreme treasures. "    

    

" Things of Ancient Times... this ordinary-looking rock really came from the Ancient Era? " Qin Feng was slightly puzzled in his heart.    

    

"If master did not guess wrongly, this stone should be a small piece of the Spirit Source Crystal that broke apart."    

    

"What is the Spirit Source Crystal?"    

    

... "It is a divine item used by ancient cultivators to cultivate. It can gather the spiritual energy and elements in the world. It can increase the cultivation speed of cultivators, and with this, cultivators will definitely be able to condense a Spirit Body. Moreover, it is more condensed and more powerful than ordinary people. It would even have a certain effect on the Mind Power, and it would be able to help people strengthen it a little.    

    

It was rumored that there were extremely few Spirit Source Crystals in the ancient times. They were controlled by some powerful families or sects, and were used by their disciples for cultivation. However, these things had long since disappeared from the ancient times, and this piece should only be a small part of a certain piece. Moreover, after a long period of time, it has almost lost all its effects."    

    

After listening to Duan Tianqiu's judgment, Qin Feng once again focused his eyes on the stone on the stage. He couldn't believe that this ordinary-looking stone was actually a small part of an ancient divine item that had been shattered.    

    

"Then this thing is completely useless now?" Qin Feng asked with slight pity.    

    

"Hehe, it might really be useless to others. However, don't forget that your Profound Soul Ring is also a Things of Ancient Times. There were not many Things of Ancient Times left in this world. There was a strange connection between them. Master has a way to use the power of the Profound Soul Ring to stimulate a trace of the Spirit Source Crystal's effect.    

    

When the time comes, it can help you cultivate, and it will increase your speed by many folds. It will also be very beneficial to me. "    

    

" Oh? " Upon hearing those words, Qin Feng immediately became spirited and his eyes lit up. A trace of excitement surged in his heart. If he could obtain this wondrous rock... If Duan Tianqiu could really stimulate its effect, his cultivation speed would increase exponentially. The benefits were great. It would increase his chances of winning the selection two years later.    

    

On the other side, Qin Feng was secretly excited, and was eager to give it a try. The others in the hall were all frowning. There were also Illusory Spirit Cultivators sitting in the hall, and they had released their Mind Power to investigate, but they still found nothing.    

    

However, this was also within reason. After all, Things of Ancient Times was too rare. It was not something that ordinary people could know. Even the people of Jinjue House could not recognize it. Besides, the people present could only watch from afar. If they didn't have a good understanding of it, how could they have guessed it?    

    

"Big Brother Lan, I'm quite interested in this wondrous rock. Help me buy it later." Qin Feng said softly to Lansley who was standing beside him.    

    

"Oh? Alright. I promised you that I would help you buy an item. This wondrous rock is very strange. It seems to have no effect on you. Since there aren't many competitors, we will buy it for you."    

    

At this moment, Old Chen, who had been silent for a long time, spoke again. "The starting price of this wondrous rock is 500 silver coins. There is no limit to the price. The auction starts now."    

    

As his words faded, the hall fell into silence. However, not long after, the bidding sounds rang out once again.    

    

Due to the unknown nature of this wondrous rock, not many people participated in the bidding. After all, no one could guarantee that they would be able to dig out its mysteries after buying it. If they didn't obtain anything in the end, wouldn't they have wasted several hundred silver coins?    

    

The price gradually rose, and soon, it reached five hundred and fifty silver coins. At this time, Qin Feng signaled to Lansley. Lansley nodded, raised the wooden tablet in his hand, and shouted, "Six hundred silver coins!"    

    

Hearing Lansley's shout, the hall immediately became quiet again.    

    

The people in front had increased by a few silver coins, and the most was 10 silver coins. At this moment, he had increased by 50 silver coins, which was really shocking.    

    

After a moment of silence, a voice came from a VIP room, "Six hundred and fifty silver coins!"    

    

Hearing this, Lansley and Qin Feng frowned at the same time. After hesitating for a while, Lansley shouted again, "Seven hundred silver coins!"    

    

"Seven hundred and fifty silver coins!"    

    

As soon as his voice fell, the person from before increased the price again.    

    

"This..." Qin Feng was stunned. He did not expect that there would be an expert who would compete with such a strange thing that was difficult to determine its value. He was truly unlucky.    

    

"Qin Feng, what should we do?" Lansley looked at Qin Feng and asked. After all, the person who was bidding with him was a strong person in the VIP room or someone with power and influence. He could not offend him at will.    

    

Qin Feng's brows were tightly knitted, and his mind was in a mess. He did not expect that he would meet a strong opponent who he could not afford to offend just by bidding once.    

    

Just as Qin Feng was hesitating, Duan Tianqiu's voice sounded again. "Feng, try your best to bid for it!"
