“So that's how it is. Thanks for the reminder, fellow Daoist Jingyang.” Han Li nodded noncommittally.

"Three thousand eight hundred!"

While Han Li was talking with Daoist Jingyang, the black-robed man bid again, but he didn't raise the price sharply, only adding two hundred immortal essence stones.

"Four thousand!" Another unusually calm voice suddenly sounded, and it was Han Li who finally made a move.

He had previously bid for two items and attracted a lot of attention. This bid also attracted many people to look over, including the gray-haired old man and the black-robed man.

Seeing that there was a tendency for more people to participate in the bidding, the expressions of both of them sank.

"Four thousand one hundred!" The gray-haired old man's eyebrows twitched, and he said in a deep voice.

"Four thousand two hundred!" The black-robed man followed closely and spoke again.

"Four thousand three hundred!" Han Li said slowly, unhurriedly.

The three of them competed fiercely, and the price quickly reached five thousand immortal essence stones, which was the price offered by the black-robed man.

Many cultivators in the arena showed surprise. A spiritual material, even if it is a precious item that helps to survive the evil decline, is too expensive to be auctioned at this price.

After all, with the same amount of immortal essence stones, there are many more options to choose from. There is no need to hang oneself on this one tree, and according to this trend, the price is obviously not at its end yet.

"Five thousand immortal essence stones? Hehe, you two really have discerning eyes. Since that's the case, I'll just give this thing to you." The gray-haired old man suddenly sneered and stopped speaking.

"Five thousand one hundred." Han Li ignored the gray-haired old man's sarcasm and continued to bid calmly.

"Five thousand two hundred!" The black-robed man did not give in an inch.

"Five thousand five hundred!" Han Li suddenly exerted his strength and increased the price sharply.

In the venue, everyone looked towards where Han Li was, all shaking their heads.

"Fellow Daoist Li, you and I are friends. I'll tell you the truth, although this piece of Mysterious Jade Crystal Stone is of good quality, this price is really too expensive. If it were on a normal day, four or five thousand immortal essence stones would be the limit. There's really no point in continuing to bid." Shangren Jingyang persuaded.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist Jingyang, but I'm determined to get this thing today. I've been searching for it for a long time. Just as fellow Daoist said, good things are priceless, just like good wine. You have to act when you see it." Han Li said with a smile.

"You, you, you've even learned to use it now. If you're short of immortal essence stones, remember my words." Shangren Jingyang shrugged and said nothing more.

"Five thousand six hundred!" The black-robed man was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"Six thousand immortal essence stones!" Han Li increased the price sharply again.

The black-robed man took a deep look at Han Li and finally fell silent, without raising the price again.

Seeing that no one was bidding, the auctioneer on the stage was a little unwilling, but after all, it had far exceeded his expectations. After confirming it three times, he loudly announced the ownership of the Mysterious Jade Crystal Stone.

The expression on Han Li's face didn't change much, but a bit of heartache still showed in his eyes.

"Fellow Daoist Li has really spent a lot of money today. It seems that you have a lot of wealth! But you should do this when you see good things. After all, it's more worthwhile compared to the time and energy spent searching for them. As the saying goes, time is gold." Shangren Jingyang laughed and comforted him.

"Fellow Daoist Jingyang, don't make fun of me. When it comes to wealth, how dare Li compare to you, the deputy mountain master of Baizao Mountain?" Han Li shook his head and smiled.

"Actually, Baizao Mountain is still eager for talents like Fellow Daoist Li. If you are interested in the future, you can come to Baizao Mountain as a guest elder." Shangren Jingyang said half-jokingly.

"Li has not joined any sect forces for a long time, otherwise he would not have come to this Leisure Cloud Mountain to be a wild crane. Speaking of which, it is rare to have such a paradise after cultivating until now, and it is enough to have three or two close friends like Fellow Daoist Jingyang." Han Li said noncommittally.

While the two were talking and laughing, the auction on the stage continued.

Before long, several more treasures were put out one by one like flowing water. Under the auspices of the alien race auctioneer, they were all auctioned at considerable prices, once again setting off a small climax.

The auction was coming to an end at this point.

"Fellow Daoists, the following are the three most precious treasures of this auction. The first one is this Bi Hai Tian Bo Gong cultivation method." A blue box was placed on the stage. Inside the box was an ancient blue jade slip, the auctioneer said.

When the people below heard this, many of them showed puzzled expressions, as if they had never heard of this name, but some people's expressions changed and they discussed in a buzzing voice.

"May I ask, is this Bi Hai Tian Bo Gong the cultivation method practiced by True Lord Bihai, who was famous in the Black Mountain Immortal Region back then?" A blue-robed man below showed an excited expression and asked loudly.

"Yes, this Bi Hai Tian Bo Gong is the main cultivation method of True Lord Bihai, who roamed the Black Mountain Immortal Region millions of years ago. It can be cultivated to the peak of the Grand Prime Realm. If we talk about the water cultivation methods in the Black Mountain Immortal Region, Bi Hai Tian Bo Gong can definitely rank in the top five. In addition to comprehending the Law of Water, there is a certain chance to comprehend the higher Law of Tides by practicing this cultivation method, and to display the Tidal Heavenly Wave Divine Ability that made True Lord Bihai famous back then. In the battle of Moon Ocean, True Lord Bihai killed tens of thousands of barbaric beasts with one move of Tidal Heavenly Wave. I don't need to say more about its power. The secret formula of this song is naturally recorded in this cultivation method. Of course, cultivating this cultivation method also requires quite harsh conditions. It must be a water attribute spiritual body, or even better a water immortal body. Moreover, before cultivating to become a True Immortal, the pure water cultivation method must be practiced, and the True Immortal body must not be mixed with any other attribute's spiritual power. That's all for the introduction of this cultivation method. Interested fellow Daoists can actively bid. The starting price is three thousand immortal essence stones, and each price increase must be no less than two hundred." The auctioneer introduced it carefully and then announced the start of the auction.

The specific reputation of True Lord Bihai in those years is not yet known, but after the auctioneer's detailed explanation, many people below immediately showed excited expressions and immediately started bidding.

After all, it is rare to encounter such a top-level cultivation method.

If this cultivation method can be used well, it may be possible to create a powerful family or sect.

Han Li's expression was calm, and he chatted softly with Shangren Jingyang.

Although this cultivation method sounded good, he naturally wouldn't be moved. He was just watching the excitement from the side.

More and more people participated in the bidding, and the price rose higher and higher, quickly breaking through seven thousand immortal essence stones.

A trace of surprise flashed in Han Li's eyes, and he had a deeper understanding of the charm of high-level cultivation methods.

"I bid ten thousand immortal essence stones!" A loud shout suddenly sounded, increasing the price by three thousand immortal essence stones at once, immediately suppressing all other voices.

Han Li couldn't help but look over. The person who made the bid was the blue-robed man who had asked the question earlier.

This person was only in the middle stage of the Golden Immortal Realm, but he had quoted such a high price. It seemed that there were many hidden dragons and crouching tigers here.

As soon as this price was offered, the others looked at each other, and no one bid again for a while.

Seeing this scene, the blue-robed man's face lit up.

"Eleven thousand!" At this moment, another voice suddenly came, and it was a feather-crowned Taoist holding a whisk.

This person's aura was vast, and he was actually a Grand Prime Realm cultivator.

"Twelve thousand!" The blue-robed man's face sank, and he did not give in because of the other party's cultivation level. He increased the price again, seemingly determined to get this Bi Hai Tian Bo Gong.

"Thirteen thousand!" The feather-crowned Taoist waved the whisk in his hand and spoke indifferently again.

"Fourteen thousand!"

"Fifteen thousand!"

……

The two of them seemed to be determined to get this item, and in the blink of an eye, the price of this Bi Hai Tian Bo Gong actually broke through twenty thousand.

Everyone present shook their heads. Although this Bi Hai Tian Bo Gong was exquisite, it was too expensive to sell at this price. The same high-level Law cultivation methods could probably buy two or three copies.

"Twenty-two thousand immortal essence stones!" The feather-crowned Taoist's expression was calm, and he didn't seem to care about the price at all.

The blue-robed man's eyes were dark red and his breathing was heavy, but he did not speak, as if his financial resources had reached their limit.

"Elder Zhu of the Water Mirror Sect has bid twenty-two thousand immortal essence stones. Is there anyone higher?" The auctioneer waited for a while and asked.

The arena was silent, and no one spoke.

The auctioneer asked again. Seeing that there was still no response, he was about to announce the ownership of the cultivation method.

"Wait a minute, I don't have enough immortal essence stones. I want to pawn this item." The blue-robed man suddenly stood up and took out an item with a flip of his hand. It was a long strip-shaped item that looked like an animal bone, and it was as green as jade.

The auctioneer was slightly stunned, but the auction did have the custom of pawning. He hurriedly announced that the auction was suspended and asked the maid beside him to take the animal bone and send it to the appraiser next to him.

Han Li sat up straight, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

The green animal bone taken out by the blue-robed man was very similar in shape and size to the animal bone he obtained from the green mouse skeleton.

However, after he used his spiritual sense to investigate several times, the animal bone of the big man did not emit any spatial fluctuations, nor did it have any spiritual power fluctuations, as if it were an ordinary mortal object.

"Could it be just similar in shape..." Han Li thought to himself.

He had studied the green animal bone many times over the years, and he became more and more convinced that it was a spatial magic treasure.

However, the animal bone was cast with extremely powerful secret techniques, and no matter what magical powers he used, he could not open it.

With a soft "shua" sound, Shangren Jingyang next to Han Li suddenly stood up at this moment, his expression a little fiery, his eyes staring at the green animal bone.

Seeing that Shangren Jingyang was so out of shape at this moment, the essence in Han Li's eyes flashed again, but it disappeared in the next moment.

"Fellow Daoist Jingyang, do you recognize this animal bone?" He asked with a faint expression.

Shangren Jingyang realized that he had lost his composure at this moment, and hurriedly sat down again, but instead of answering Han Li's question, he lowered his head and pondered with an extremely serious expression, as if he was considering something extremely important.

Han Li's eyebrows moved slightly, and he did not interrupt.

Before long, the green animal bone was sent to a rectangular table on the side of the auction stage. Behind the long table sat three cultivators dressed in black clothes.

A middle-aged scholar, an old man with white hair, and a veiled young woman.

The three of them were all dignified and profound, and they were the three appraisers of Black Mountain Immortal Palace.

The profit of Yukun Tower's previous auctions was extremely high, and Black Mountain Immortal Palace was very envious. In recent years, it has been constantly reaching into the auction, sharing a piece of the pie, and the people sent are more and more than before.

At this auction, nearly half of the personnel were from Black Mountain Immortal Palace.

These were all things that Han Li heard from Shangren Jingyang when he was chatting with him before.
