Chapter 1840 - Sentient Dharmic Treasure
The auction continued and after an intense fight, the blue-dressed woman from Thunder Shock Hall spent 3,000,000 Essence Condensation Pills to obtain the Heavenly Thunder Dragon Tiger Sutra.
Thereafter, the auction displayed some immortal pills, talismans, Dharmic treasures and other items one after another.
Every single treasure was sold for millions of Essence Condensation Pills!
Many cultivators of the major factions placed bids as well.
However, it was clear that the major factions had restrained themselves and were waiting for the final treasure, the Sal Tree Leaf!
Right then, another item was placed on the table.
The item looked dim and dull, like a shard that fell off an ancient bronze mirror.
Initially, Su Zimo did not feel anything towards the mirror shard.
However, the moment the mirror shard was displayed, the Bronze Square Tripod in his consciousness stirred!
"Mmm?"
Su Zimo narrowed his eyes slightly.
Previously, the Bronze Square Tripod had only reacted this way when a broken sword was discovered in the storage bag of the commander of the Evil Wolf Army.
Later on, the Bronze Square Tripod smelted the broken sword!
Immediately after, the divine dragon on the outer wall of the Bronze Square Tripod awakened and imparted to him an extremely powerful movement technique, the True Dragon Nine Flashes!
It was clear that some Dharmic treasures and weapons were required to repair the Bronze Square Tripod.
However, no matter the quality of the dark-grade Dharmic treasures that Su Zimo collected, there would be no reaction when they were placed in the Bronze Square Tripod.
He did not know what type of Dharmic treasures and weapons the Bronze Square Tripod required.
"What's that?"
"It's just a shard. What's so special about it?"
Some cultivators below could not help but ask curiously.
The veiled woman smiled charmingly. "Everyone, please calm down and answer me first. Do you know what's the realm above the Heaven Immortal realm?"
Instantly, the crowd went silent.
Many cultivators exchanged puzzled glances.
They only knew about the Black, Earth and Heaven Immortals.
They had not even seen an Earth Immortal expert before, let alone anyone above that.
"I heard that it's Perfected Immortal?"
Before long, a voice sounded from the crowd. It was the young master of Black Light Sect who probed.
"That's right!"
The veiled woman nodded slightly. "Perfected Immortal experts are above Heaven Immortals! Everyone, do you know what grade of Dharmic treasures Perfected Immortal experts use?"
Everyone shook their heads and discussed softly.
A thought flashed through the mind of the young master of Black Light Sect as he declared, "Everyone knows that Black Immortals use black-grade Dharmic treasures, Earth Immortals use earth-grade Dharmic treasures, Heaven Immortals use heaven-grade Dharmic treasures and so on. Perfected Immortals should use perfect-grade Dharmic treasures!"
"Fu…"
A stifled laughter sounded from the seats high above.
"How ignorant,"
Commander Liu and the others looked at the young master of Black Light Sect as though they were looking at an idiot with disdain.
The young master of Black Light Sect flushed red from being mocked in front of everyone and felt utterly humiliated.
However, the other party was a commander of Dragon Abyss City and he did not dare to get angry. He could only lower his head and grit his teeth in frustration.
The veiled woman said in a deep voice, "The weapon used by Perfected Immortals is a sentient Dharmic treasure, also known as a spirit treasure!"
A sentient Dharmic treasure!
Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat.
Suddenly, he recalled that back in Tianhuang Mainland, when Die Yue fought against many experts of the upper world, an ancient bell descended.
Die Yue had once scolded that this person did not dare to descend with his true body and merely used a sentient Dharmic treasure to test the waters!
In that case, the person who attacked should be a Perfected Immortal expert!
The veiled woman continued, "The so-called sentient Dharmic treasure means that it has gained sentience and consciousness!"
"The power of such a Dharmic treasure is increased tremendously and contains many unexpected mysteries! This mirror shard is none other than a fragment of a spirit treasure!"
The other Dharmic treasures were just weapons and were dead objects.
However, a sentient Dharmic treasure was a living being with life!
Su Zimo's eyes lit up and he suddenly came to a realization.
The Bronze Square Tripod should be a sentient Dharmic treasure!
That was because without Su Zimo's control, the tripod could smelt weapons to repair itself!
Wasn't that a form of sentience?!
Wasn't that the same sentience described in the legends?!
At the same time, Su Zimo vaguely deduced something.
If he wanted to repair the Bronze Square Tripod, he would require at least a sentient Dharmic treasure!
Back when he ascended, the expert who tried to kill him was clearly stronger than a Perfected Immortal—he was an Immortal King that the mysterious woman mentioned!
The Bronze Square Tripod could only repair one of its walls after devouring and smelting an Immortal King weapon.
Given Su Zimo's current strength, he had no chance of coming into contact with an Immortal King weapon. Even for sentient Dharmic treasures, he only managed to obtain a single fragment.
There was still a long way to go to repair the Bronze Square Tripod completely.
"Even if it's a fragment of a spirit treasure, it's crippled and completely useless now."
"What can this fragment be used for?"
"It's definitely useless. If it was a true treasure, we wouldn't have had a chance. The Exalted Immortals in the city would have taken it a long time ago."
The crowd below broke into a discussion after the veiled woman's explanation.
The veiled woman smiled gently. "No matter what, this is a fragment of a sentient Dharmic treasure. If there's anything mysterious about it, we can only leave it for the person who bought it to explore."
"How much is this thing?"
Someone asked.
"The starting bid for this spirit treasure fragment is 1,000,000 Essence Condensation Pills. Every bid increment must not be less than 10,000," The veiled woman said.
Everyone shook their heads.
Nobody wanted to spend 1,000,000 Essence Condensation Pills to buy a useless fragment.
After the veiled woman said that, no one started bidding.
"I'll bid for 1,000,000,"
Right then, a voice sounded from the crowd.
Everyone turned towards the voice—it was the green-robed cultivator who wanted to fight Ding Yu!
Xu Wan looked at Su Zimo in surprise as well.
She had not expected that Su Zimo would want to buy such a seemingly useless spirit treasure fragment after a night of silence.
While the spirit treasure fragment might be useless in the hands of others, it was extremely useful to Su Zimo!
"This person sure is ambitious. He's even taking part in the auction when he's about to die."
"That's right. Why doesn't he spend the time thinking about how he's going to leave this place alive later?"
Many cultivators shook their heads and mocked.
"This Fellow Daoist is bidding 1,000,000. Are there any higher bids?"
The veiled woman surveyed her surroundings and asked loudly.
"1,010,000!"
Right then, Ding Yu spoke and smiled at Su Zimo. Raising his head slightly, his eyes were filled with provocation and mockery.
He had no intention of getting his hands on that spirit treasure fragment.
He was merely raising the price deliberately!
He did not add much, just 10,000.
Su Zimo's expression was unchanged as he said indifferently, "3,000,000."
Whoosh!
A commotion broke out in the crowd.
Nobody expected that this unassuming green-robed cultivator would be able to produce 3,000,000 Essence Condensation Pills!
This person was only a Grade 5 Black Immortal.
How could a Grade 5 Black Immortal have so many Essence Condensation Pills?!
