Chapter 35 Conclusion

After the Sword Box was bought for ten thousand Spirit Stones, Ziyan's seductive charm faded, and she became poised and dignified. Bewitching Technique greatly accomplished! Cultivators with a bit of experience, upon witnessing this scene, showed a trace of amazement in their eyes. The Bewitching Technique, a lesser path of cultivation, had few practitioners, and the difficulty of mastering it was not low. It was rare to see someone who had mastered it to such a degree, and even less expected to witness it at an auction. However, the item Ziyan then brought out for auction quickly overshadowed this ripple with a wave of shock and incredulity. Foundation Establishment Pill! The Yuanming Sect produced three Foundation Establishment Pills at once! Even Li Zhirui and the other two, who felt that they had no chance with the Foundation Establishment Pill, couldn't help but reveal a hint of fervor in their eyes. In fact, most Cultivators were well aware that the Foundation Establishment Pill was destined to elude them, due to its exorbitant price, far beyond the reach of individuals like themselves. But that did not stop them from being excited about it. Although the Foundation Establishment Pill was only a second-grade Spirit Pill, its value far surpassed that of ordinary third-grade Spiritual Objects. Because the Spiritual Medicine required to concoct the Foundation Establishment Pill was monopolized by major forces, and while there might be Spiritual Medicine in the wilderness of the vast world, finding one was by no means easy. To acquire Spiritual Medicine, one must at least belong to a Golden Core force and even then pay a high price. For instance, the Yuanming Sect could independently craft Foundation Establishment Pills only after Jiang Tianming had broken through to the Golden Core Realm and, in return, had completed three tasks for the Sect Master of Shen Leishan. In truth, Cultivators seeking Foundation Establishment had options besides consuming Foundation Establishment Pills, such as refining certain exceptional Spiritual Objects or achieving breakthroughs on their own. The reason Foundation Establishment Pills were so coveted was that consuming them greatly increased the success rate of breakthroughs; moreover, even if the attempt failed, the pill's power could protect the meridians and Dantian, preventing foundational damage. Breakthroughs by refining Spiritual Objects had only half the success rate compared to using Foundation Establishment Pills, therefore, their price was relatively low, and this method was the choice of the majority of Loose Cultivators. As for achieving breakthroughs without any aid, that method was extremely challenging and dangerous; a failure could shatter one's foundation, and Cultivators would only choose this means under dire circumstances. It is said that within the large forces there are Secret Techniques for independent Foundation Establishment, but such things are beyond the reach of ordinary people. "Indeed, the name of this sword may sound familiar to many fellow Daoists, that is because it is the very sword carried by the Rainbow Sword Master, and the rumors say that the Rainbow Sword is connected to the Rainbow Sword Master's legacy!" As soon as Ziyan finished her speech, the venue fell silent—not out of calmness, but because they were astonished by the grandeur of the Yuanming Sect's move. "Can it be that the Yuanming Sect is so willing to part with it?" a white-haired Golden Core cultivator on the third floor wondered aloud with a hint of doubt in his voice. The origin of the Rainbow Sword was something he knew much better than others; the Rainbow Sword Master was a Sword Immortal who roamed the eastern regions hundreds of years ago! The title 'Sword Immortal' doesn't imply that his cultivation had broken through to the Immortal Realm, but rather is an honorific for Golden Core Sword Cultivators who have developed a Sword Heart. Any cultivator who has earned the title of Sword Immortal is at the pinnacle of combat prowess within the Golden Core Realm, and even fighting against foes of a higher realm isn't impossible, especially those who have only just broken through to the Nascent Soul. After introducing the Rainbow Sword, Ziyan did not rush to auction it but instead moved on to describe the next item, the Dao-intense Jade Slip. "Contained within this Jade Slip is a complete Cultivation Technique that leads directly to the Golden Core Realm!" This declaration thundered in everyone's ears like a sudden explosion, and they all looked at Ziyan as if they had seen a ghost. For the Yuanming Sect to auction a Cultivation Technique capable of reaching the Golden Core Realm instead of keeping it hidden was shocking! Even though the Yuanming Sect could have likely made copies of the technique, the leakage of a Cultivation Technique could enable hostile forces to discover vulnerabilities and weaknesses, bringing about a disaster for a faction. Unless the technique had flaws, or the Yuanming Sect did not intend to let too many disciples practice it. "This Cultivation Technique is known as the 'Sustenance Alchemy Canon' and cultivates Mana in a gentle manner. After deduction by our Sect, this method can increase the likelihood of a cultivator reaching Core Formation, but it has the drawback of being exceedingly slow in cultivation," Ziyan explained. For an object of this caliber, it was best not to conceal its drawbacks, because those qualified to purchase it were not to be trifled with. After Ziyan's introduction, the crowd finally calmed down, no wonder the Yuanming Sect was willing to auction it off. As for the final Seal, its origin was also extraordinary—it turned out to be a fourth-tier Magic Artifact whose quality had fallen. Although its rank had diminished, its power was still greater than most third-tier Magic Artifacts. These three treasures had nothing to do with the Li family or the cultivators on the first and second floors, because those who contested for them were the few Golden Core cultivators on the third floor! In the end, all three treasures sold for over eighty thousand Spirit Stones each. The one fetching the highest price was not the Cultivation Technique or the Seal, but the Rainbow Sword, which contained the legacy of a Sword Immortal.
