Martial Saint through Reading

According to various secret manuals and ancient classics, Star Sand is an item from beyond the stars, containing rich and mysterious energy that can help Martial Artists refine their Qi Blood and body, and also assist Primordial Qi Warriors in cultivating Primordial Qi.

However, this item is extremely difficult to find, and in the entire Ancient Profound Western Continent, it only circulates among those in the National Guardian Realm and above, and even those in the National Guardian Realm may not possess it.

He has slain quite a few in the National Guardian Realm, like the four National Guardian Realm powerhouses from the Nine Hordes Kingdom, but none of their Storage Treasures contained any.

According to the treasure system of the Heavenly Inquiry Tower, in terms of value, ten pieces of Star Sand the size of gravel are equivalent to a Sixth tier Lower Grade Treasure.

"I have about a hundred pieces of Star Sand on me..."

Chu Ming checked the Star Sand on him; Ming Feng and Ming Yu contributed relatively little, while Luo Mu contributed more, totaling around a hundred pieces.

He originally didn’t want to participate in the auction, but after thinking carefully, he decided to partake.

There are several reasons.

Firstly, the purpose of this Heavenly Inquiry Tower auction, if guessed correctly, is precisely for the ’Tanghulu’ that his Blood Bead and Vine Stick have fused into.

This auction appears to be an auction on the surface, but in reality, it is a bait to lure him into appearing.

He came with a sensing, and the Heavenly Inquiry Tower similarly desires the ’Tanghulu’ from him.

The Heavenly Inquiry Tower not only has defenses but also set up a bait action, so he certainly cannot sit back and wait to be captured.

"I can only play along with their plan..."

The auction is the bait of Heavenly Inquiry Tower, but it also exposes them.

To obtain the treasure, he needs to enter the game and trick the bait setters to appear; otherwise, it’s challenging to find where the resonating treasure truly is.

This tactic bears a certain risk, but Chu Ming estimated his own strength, with Elemental Technique Thirty-Three Extreme Star Rings, Moonfalling Stars, the treasure Mutated Black Flame, National Treasure Moon-breaking Fierce Saber, Nether Witch Banner, and the Elemental Shield Shuttle nearing Tier Seven.

With multiple trump cards revealed, as long as he doesn’t encounter a Seventh Realm powerhouse, even those in Qi Sea Realm Perfection won’t easily detain him.

And this assures him of his confidence in taking this step.

While he was contemplating his move, the Seven-Star Kingdom powerhouse Xing Rong, and the two National Guardian Realm powerhouses Yiyang Mountain and Yiyang Scenery from Yiyang Kingdom, similarly prepared for the auction.

Such preparation naturally involves calculating the number of Star Sand they have on hand.

Though Star Sand is precious, it can’t be compared to Spirit Treasures that can directly enhance combat strength.

On stage.

The Tower Master Yi Chentian scanned the audience below, appearing calm, yet secretly probing.

He hosted the auction under the name of his senior brother Wu Dai, not to strive for so-called gold and silver or Star Sand, but to lure the person with the resonating Fire Bead treasure to appear.

’I wonder if that person has arrived yet...’

Yi Chentian scanned the area; apart from the two National Guardian Realm powerhouses from Yiyang Kingdom, only the Sixth Realm powerhouse Xing Rong from Seven-Star Kingdom hid among the crowd.

Could it be that the resonating treasure with the Fire Bead is on Xing Rong?

Or perhaps it’s with someone below the Sixth Realm?

If it’s the former, it’s troublesome.

Should it be the latter, it would be quite manageable.

As thoughts raced through his mind, his lips moved slightly, and his steady voice echoed in the hall:

"The two Sixth tier treasures being auctioned today, the first item is a Sixth tier Lower Grade White Bamboo Bottle, which can absorb Heaven and Earth Qi, nurturing White Bamboo Spirit Liquid, and this liquid is the main material for refining the Tier Six Elixir Embracing Essence Pill."

"No need for me to elaborate on its value."

"Starting bid, ten pieces of Star Sand."

White Bamboo Bottle? Nurturing Alchemy Spirit Liquid?

The two from Yiyang Kingdom felt somewhat disappointed; they were after a combat-enhancing offensive or defensive treasure, not an auxiliary nature treasure.

Nonetheless, this bottle is still considered decent.

The Embracing Essence Pill is indeed valuable, taken when reaching a bottleneck in Qi Sea Realm cultivation, serving great use, so they certainly wouldn’t miss it.

"Twelve pieces." Yiyang Mountain offered the first bid.

"Thirteen pieces." The tight black-clad Seven-Star Kingdom powerhouse Xing Rong promptly followed with a bid.

Xing Rong didn’t care for the White Bamboo Bottle but sensed the aura concealed within it.

"Fifteen pieces." Yiyang Mountain bid again.

"Sixteen pieces." Xing Rong also bid.

"Eighteen."

"Nineteen."

One side increased by two pieces each time, the other added one piece with each bid.

Soon the price reached twenty-two pieces, with Yiyang Mountain to place the bid.

"Third Brother, we altogether have thirty pieces; although the White Bamboo Bottle is nice, it’s not the treasure we desire. Heavenly Inquiry Tower still has a Spirit Treasure to unveil; let’s give up this bottle and save the Star Sand for the other item." Yiyang Scenery advised from beside him.
