Chapter 577: 577
“Ye Mo, I heard that this treasure palace was built by ancient elite fighters,” Nangong Wushang told Ye Mo . “Take a look at its material, and you can tell that it’s something special . There’s a hint of spirituality imbued in the building . I’m guessing that this isn’t an ordinary building, but a giant spirit weapon, probably as valuable as most treasure weapons . ”
The Spirit Treasure Hall was a spirit weapon in itself . Anyone who tried to do anything suspicious inside the building would automatically be attacked by the building’s weapon spirit .
“The Zone of Seals is stronger than the Zone of Desolation,” Nangong Wushang said . “And the Seal City is the premier city in the zone . Naturally, no costs have been spared . Let’s head inside and inquire about the spirit seed . ”
Nangong Wushang gave off a laugh before the two of them headed into the crowd of people and the big palace .
Entering the huge palace, Ye Mo and Nangong Wushang paid no attention to the ordinary goods – goods of real quality would only appear in auctions .
After asking around, they found out that a huge auction was going to be held in half an hour .
Ye Mo and Nangong Wushang were obviously going to go to the auction to see if there were any rare treasures .
In time, the atmosphere in the Seal Treasure Pavilion slowly reached its climax . More and more people rushed into the place . What caught Ye Mo’s attention the most was the fact that there was a gigantic formation in the innermost part of the pavilion – a transportation formation .
Everyone surrounded the giant formation and, following a red light glow, an elder in his sixties walked out from the formation . Everyone watched the elder .
“Everyone, our auction sale is about to begin,” he said loudly . His voice echoed throughout the palace . “Those who wish to enter the auction have to pay a fee of ten Transcendence Pills . ”
“Tsk tsk, this Seal Treasure Pavilion sure knows how to profit,” Ye Mo said in shock . “Ten Transcendence Pills – if a thousand people enter the auction, they’ll get 10,000 Transcendence Pills off the entrance fee alone . ”
“Ten pills are nothing to scoff at, but it’s nothing in the eyes of the true families of wealth,” Nangong Wushang said calmly . “The wealthy here are perhaps more than ten times richer than the Nangong Family – they have enough riches to buy a few kingdoms outright . ”
“Perhaps this has to do with strength . ” Ye Mo sighed . Back in the Limestone City, even Energy Stabilizing Pills were a rare commodity . A Transcendence Pill was nearly priceless – this was the unbridgeable gap on full display .
“Come on, let’s go inside . ” Nangong Wushang patted Ye Mo on his shoulder before taking ten Transcendence Pills from his Dimensional Bracelet .
Once they entered the transportation formation, Ye Mo and Nangong Wushang found themselves in a giant space . The space was circular and split into layers . Everyone participating in the transportation formation was sent to their assigned seat, with both sides covered, meaning that one could only see a blurred image of his opposite side .
With the opposite side hundreds of meters away, the circular area was extremely big .
The auction stage was set right in the middle of the space . All the items to be auctioned were transported via the transportation formation as well . This meant it would be extremely difficult for someone to steal them .
There were also two Fifth Tier Transcendence Realm fighters waiting on both sides of the auctioneer .
“There are rumors that there’ll be a few strong seals up for grabs during this auction . If we get the chance to take a closer look, maybe we can try to mimic them . ”
“Do you really think that it’ll be that easy to mimic? Even if it’s the same seal type, different seal artists will cultivate different seals due to their difference in powers . Different levels of awareness, realm, character, and talent among seal artists is also important . The type of seals that each artist can cultivate also has a world of difference . ”
“True seal artist masters aren’t afraid of you copying their seals – no matter how much you try to mimic it, you’ll never reach their level . ”
The auction had yet to commence, but there were already plenty of people in a flurry of discussion .
Ye Mo was somewhat surprised to hear all this . They weren’t talking about how valuable the seals were, but instead how to mimic them .
Ye Mo had had a similar thought in the past . If it was a relatively unknown seal, with the seal text drawn on the seal paper, one only had to familiarize themselves with the seal text and they could replicate it .
But, based on the conversation, it appeared that the artists’ seal techniques had reached an extremely high level – it wasn’t just about drawing out the seal texts . The realization and will of the sealing artist factored into it as well . Naturally, different seal artists would get extremely different results, even if they try to cultivate the same type of seal .
As the people around them continued to chatter, an elder walked out from the transportation formation . He was clad in a white robe . With white hair and a white beard, he looked extremely serious, not a trace of a smile on his face .
“Uncle Nangong, what realm is this elder in?” Ye Mo asked .
“Looks like he’s in the Profound World Real,” Nangong Wushang said . “With even the auctioneer of such high caliber, it looks like the Seal City is indeed something else . ”
“Having a fighter in the Profound World Realm as an auctioneer, tsk tsk . ” Ye Mo was somewhat surprised as well .
Cough, cough .
As the chatter slowly subsided, the elder coughed a few times and said, “I am Master Fu Qian of the Seal Artist Association . I’ve been invited by the pavilion master to host this auction . Those who know me should know of my standards regarding seals . ”
“It’s Master Fu Qian, of all people . Legend has it that he’s a master-level seal artist, and he himself has invented plenty of Level Five Seals . ”
“Who would’ve thought that this auction would manage to invite Master Fu Qian . Looks like the seals for sale this time around are all pretty rare items . ”
As the elder finished speaking, another round of commotion erupted .
“Level Five Seals could potentially kill a Ninth-Tier Transcendence Realm fighter in a matter of seconds . ”
Just thinking about it struck fear into Ye Mo’s heart . It would be extremely great if he could get a Level Five defensive seal .
“Alright, enough talk . Let us begin!”
As he finished speaking, a glow appeared from the transportation formation behind Master Fu Qian . A beautiful servant walked out towards the auction stage, slowly, a wooden box in hand .
Everyone stared at the auction stage .
Master Fu Qian slowly opened the wooden box, revealing a seal with a sparkling surface and a flurry of intelligible seal texts . A picture of a gigantic hill floated atop the seal .
Ye Mo could tell that the picture of the hill carried a strong, overwhelming force, possessing the pressure of the mountains and lakes .
“This is a Level Four, Eighth Tier Attack Seal – the Mountain Lake Seal . When activated, it can suppress an Eighth Tier Transcendence Realm fighter . Carrying the Will of Nature, the starting price is 1000 Transcendence Pills . ”
As Master Fu Qian finished speaking, the whole crowd erupted into competing voices .
“I raise 1500 Transcendence Pills . ”
“I raise 2000 Transcendence Pills . ”
“I raise 3000 Transcendence Pills . ”
“I raise 3500 Transcendence Pills . ”
The bidding price multiplied tenfold, and the audience didn’t slow down .
Ye Mo was extremely interested in the Will of the ground . Had he not been here for the spirit seed, he would probably have bought one to conduct some research .
In mere moments, the Mountain Lake Seal was won by a tycoon for 5000 Transcendence Pills .
The next few rounds of auction were all seals – seals of all types that broadened Ye Mo’s horizon . Based on his current strength, without Ling’er’s guidance, there was no way that he could cultivate these seals .
“The last round of the auction features an extremely rare item, not a seal . ” Master Fu Qian smiled mysteriously as a servant stepped out, bringing out a wooden box .
Ye Mo stared intently at the box – an item that wasn’t a seal but was good enough to be used as the grande finale…
“This spirit seed was formed using the essences of all the natural elements in the world . As for the magical effects of the spirit seed, do I need to say more?”
Hearing that, Ye Mo’s pupils dilated . He had finally found it .
