The auction continued, and as one increasingly rare item after another was placed on the auction platform, the emotions of those around became increasingly high.

Of course, the main force in the competition now was almost entirely True Immortal cultivators from the second and third floors and above. The cultivators on the first floor were just feasting their eyes and broadening their horizons.

At this moment, a square jade box was placed on the auction platform, inside which was a purple jade book.

"The next item for auction is a high-level True Immortal cultivation method, 'Violet Firmament True Lightning Skill'. It is an extremely rare lightning-attribute cultivation method. If one can cultivate it to perfection, one can open up the thirty-six Immortal Apertures throughout the body in one fell swoop, break through the True Immortal realm, and become a Gold Immortal! Speaking of its origin, I'm afraid everyone is familiar with it. The Violet Firmament Immortal, who swept across the entire Blackwind Sea millions of years ago, relied on this cultivation method to consecutively kill three True Immortal late-stage cultivators from outside!" Wen Hua said slowly.

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar all around, with discussions buzzing. Even from the boxes on the third floor, there were a few soft "hmm" sounds.

Han Li's heart stirred upon hearing the term "Immortal Aperture" mentioned by Wen Hua.

Although his Immortal Spiritual Power had been completely converted after recovering his cultivation, and his cultivation was stable at the early stage of the True Immortal realm, due to the loss of his memory and the lack of a suitable cultivation method, in a sense, he had not truly begun to cultivate.

However, through some Earth Immortal cultivation methods he had encountered before, he vaguely knew that these Immortal Apertures were closely related to the future improvement of his cultivation realm. It seemed that opening up the thirty-six Immortal Apertures would allow one to achieve Gold Immortal status.

However, the Earth Immortal cultivation methods focused more on the collection of Faith Power and the condensation of Law Power, mentioning very little about Immortal Apertures. It seemed that as long as one spent tens of thousands of years, they would slowly open up naturally. Even in the *Black Sea Heavy Water Sutra*, it was the same.

"Hehe, although the Violet Firmament Immortal has been missing for millions of years, this cultivation method has been passed down. However, let me state in advance that its cultivation conditions are quite harsh. One must possess top-tier lightning-attribute spiritual roots or have innate lightning-attribute physiques such as the Five Thunder Body or the Thunder Marrow True Body to cultivate this cultivation method to great success. Otherwise, it will ultimately be in vain... Alright, without further ado, the starting price for this cultivation method is five hundred high-grade spirit stones, with each increase not less than ten." Wen Hua was quite satisfied with the reaction of the crowd. After smiling slightly, he introduced it eloquently before announcing the start of the bidding.

Upon hearing that it was a high-level True Immortal cultivation method, and a lightning-attribute cultivation method known for its power, many people's eyes lit up.

Although there were many Earth Immortals in the Blackwind Sea, there were even more rogue cultivators. What they lacked the most was naturally good high-level cultivation methods.

However, upon hearing the harsh cultivation conditions mentioned later, many people showed disappointment. But there were still quite a few people with fiery gazes.

Han Li also lacked a cultivation method at the moment, and his heart stirred slightly. But he immediately shook his head in regret due to the cultivation conditions.

"Five hundred and ten."

"Five hundred and thirty."

"Five hundred and eighty."

Although Han Li didn't bid, there were others who were eager. They immediately competed fiercely, quickly pushing the price to seven hundred high-grade spirit stones.

"Eight hundred!" A somewhat lazy voice rang out, coming from a box on the third floor, directly adding one hundred.

The middle-aged scholar on the second floor who had previously bid six hundred high-grade spirit stones was stunned for a moment before gritting his teeth and adding, "I bid eight hundred and fifty high-grade spirit stones!"

"Nine hundred!" The lazy voice seemed a little impatient and said coldly, extremely wealthy. Obviously, if anyone raised the price again, he wouldn't mind raising the price to one thousand.

Seeing this, Han Li couldn't help but grin.

His current wealth, including the island owner's reward and what he had obtained from the two Qingyu Island rogue immortals and the Shaoshan Three Fiends, added up to about one thousand high-grade spirit stones.

For this auction, he had previously asked Mu Xue to inquire about it through various channels, knowing what things might appear at the auction, and had his own goals.

He originally thought that his funds were already abundant and that he could basically win the targeted items. Now it seemed that he was somewhat short-sighted. The wealth of these old guys who had been cultivating for countless years was truly astonishing.

After that lazy voice raised the price to nine hundred high-grade spirit stones, the middle-aged man on the second floor, although full of unwillingness, could only give up helplessly.

The appearance of the Violet Firmament True Lightning Skill was a watershed moment, completely bringing the auction to a climax.

Although the following treasures were not comparable to the Violet Firmament True Lightning Skill, the crowd, driven by the enthusiastic atmosphere of the auction, began to bid frequently.

Another auctioned item was placed on display, which was a dark golden hammer.

The hammerhead was the size of a human head and was octagonal in shape. The handle was more than four feet long. The appearance was nothing special, but the heavy hammer, when placed there, gave people a sense of towering majesty like a giant peak, as if an Optimus Prime was pressing down.

"The following treasure is a manufactured Immortal Artifact called 'Mountain Quake Hammer'. It is made of ten thousand year Copper Crystal mixed with Profound Gold Cold Iron, containing the Law of Metal, with its sharpness contained within. The power of one hammer is enough to shake mountains and split rivers! However, this treasure is extremely heavy, and ordinary cultivators may find it difficult to control freely. Please consider it carefully. Now let's start the bidding. The starting price is six hundred high-grade spirit stones, and the increment is ten!" Wen Hua announced.

Han Li's eyes lit up, and he clenched his palm tightly.

His target was this manufactured Immortal Artifact.

He was going to find the Green Bamboo Cloudflight Swords and other items next, and he didn't know how many dangers there would be. He didn't have any suitable spiritual treasures at hand at the moment and urgently needed one or two handy ones.

Although he couldn't activate the Law of Metal contained in this Mountain Quake Hammer, this treasure was still very handy for him as a Mysterious Immortal.

"Six hundred and ten!"

"Six hundred and thirty!"

"Six hundred and sixty!"

Even with some special requirements, Han Li was not the only one who had taken a liking to this Mountain Quake Hammer. Before he could even open his mouth, many people had eagerly bid, quickly pushing the price up to seven hundred high-grade spirit stones.

"Nine hundred!" Han Li shouted without hesitation, directly adding two hundred.

If he didn't suppress the price with a high bid, continuing like this, he didn't know to what extent the price would climb.

The people around were taken aback and looked over.

"One thousand!" A voice came from the third floor. It was an unfamiliar voice that sounded like an old man. It was unknown which powerful figure it was.

Han Li's face darkened, and his eyes flickered.

In addition to spirit stones, he had also prepared some other treasures, the most important of which was naturally that Soulbirth Flower, which he had ripened to thirty thousand years over these years, and its value was not low.

"One thousand and two hundred!" Before Han Li could speak, another voice rang out. It was the previous lazy voice, adding two hundred in one breath.

"One thousand and five hundred!" The old voice snorted and raised the price again, actually adding three hundred at once.

"One thousand and eight hundred!" The lazy voice did not back down at all.

Watching the people in the two boxes on the third floor bidding in the air, adding hundreds of high-grade spirit stones at every turn, not only were the tens of thousands of cultivators on the first floor dumbfounded, but even the people on the second floor gasped and were speechless.

Han Li smiled wryly and shook his head.

The two voices bid against each other, and the price quickly exceeded two thousand high-grade spirit stones. Finally, the old voice won the bid with two thousand and three hundred high-grade spirit stones.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, half a day had passed.

At this moment, the auction had also entered its final stage. More and more rare and exotic treasures appeared, various materials containing the Law Power, advanced Earth Immortal cultivation methods, immortal herbs, some rare exotic beasts, and even a Dragon Egg of the Nine-Headed Ice Dragon.

As a True Spirit, the Nine-Headed Ice Dragon was born with the ability to control the Law of Water. After reaching adulthood, its strength was comparable to that of a True Immortal mid-stage power, even more powerful than the exotic beast Tai Fei that Han Li had encountered before.

Such an extraordinary item naturally had no shortage of buyers, and it was eventually taken by someone in a box on the third floor for a price exceeding two thousand.

These were the real treasures!

At this moment, although ordinary cultivators could only watch with envy, many people secretly cheered. Many people on the second floor, knowing that they had no chance with the auctioned items, gradually calmed down.

Han Li looked at the lively scene in front of him but was somewhat absent-minded.

These things were not what he needed. Although there were some powerful spiritual treasures, and even a Mysterious Heavenly Treasure appeared, it didn't match him, so he didn't bid.

"The next treasure is three Heavy Water Thunder Pearls. This treasure was refined by a master proficient in the Law of Water using Three-Layered Heavy Water. Although this item is a consumable treasure, it is extremely powerful. If hit head-on by this Thunder Pearl, even a True Immortal mid-stage cultivator may not be able to retreat unscathed." While Wen Hua spoke, three blue jade boxes were placed on display.

Each contained a black pearl the size of a dragon's eye. The surface was faintly shrouded in black mist, and it looked ordinary and unremarkable.

"The starting price for the three Heavy Water Thunder Pearls is five hundred high-grade spirit stones, and each increment must be at least ten." Wen Hua announced the price skillfully and then stopped speaking.

The cultivators below stirred up, and many people showed excitement.

As a one-time use spiritual treasure, this Heavy Water Thunder Pearl was shockingly expensive, but if it had the power to severely injure a True Immortal mid-stage, it was still worth buying.

"Heavy Water Thunder Pearl!" Han Li murmured and touched the True Water Pouch on his waist. His mind stirred.

While he was thinking, the bidding had already begun. After a round of competition between the people on the second and third floors, the price rose all the way, reaching seven hundred high-grade spirit stones in the blink of an eye.

"Seven hundred and fifty!" Han Li raised his hand to bid.

This price was already quite high, and some of the people who were originally participating in the bidding fell silent.

"Seven hundred and sixty!" A voice came, and it was a red-haired youth not far away.

"Eight hundred!" Han Li glanced at the red-haired youth and immediately raised the price again without hesitation.

The red-haired youth hesitated and didn't shout out a higher price.

"Eight hundred and fifty!" Another voice suddenly rang out, and it was a bald-headed man on the second floor.

"Nine hundred!" Han Li said immediately, raising the price again without saying a word.

"One thousand!" The bald-headed man glanced at Han Li, and a cold smile flashed across his somewhat ferocious eyes, and he leisurely quoted the price.

When bidding on the Mountain Quake Hammer earlier, he had actually been secretly observing the people who were bidding around him, judging everyone's wealth. Han Li was naturally within his observation range.
