The object is a vibrant, jade-green, shimmering relic, as if the fossilized remains of some unknown colossal beast. Though merely a fragment of bone, as soon as it was unveiled, a powerful, primal aura surged forth, immediately compelling the nearby Yue Liantian—though he had been well-prepared—to hastily retreat several paces. The other attendees in the auction hall, under the pressure of this aura, all murmured in low astonishment, some even compelled to emit protective magical radiance, their faces filled with awe. "Can a mere bone of a beast possess such an imposing presence?" "Is this perhaps the fossilized remains of one of the legendary ancient beasts from the wilderness?" "It cannot be—those very beasts, even if their bones were preserved, could not generate such a profound aura." "Yue brother, could you please explain what's going on?" The magical beings were once again stunned, their gazes fixed upon the translucent, magnificent bone, each one expressing growing disbelief. "Hehe, my esteemed friends, please don't worry. Since these are items being auctioned, I will certainly explain their origins clearly. However, it seems many of you are already deeply interested. In that case, I won't delay any further—let me simply share the details. This is not merely the fossilized remains of some ancient giant beast, but rather the遗骨 of an ancient True Spirit." Yue Lian Tian lightly cleared his throat and smiled. "A True Spirit's relic? Surely that must be an incalculable treasure." "Impossible! Such a priceless treasure would surely attract the holy ancestors themselves—how could it end up here?" ….. The commotion sparked by this revelation was clearly even greater than the previous excitement surrounding the 'Holy Bricks.' Upon hearing Yue Lian Tian's explanation, nine out of the ten magian clansmen were left with expressions of deep skepticism. As for Han Li, upon hearing the name "True Spirit Remnant Bone," the expression on his face beneath the cloak changed instantly, and his gaze sharply fixed upon that massive emerald bone. At that moment, he subtly sensed a faint, familiar sweet aroma amidst the wild, untamed atmosphere—something reminiscent of medicinal scents. Yet this medicinal fragrance was extraordinarily subtle; without his frequent exposure to various medicinal herbs, it would have been difficult to discern. Simultaneously, a sudden, delighted whisper reached his consciousness: "Master, this seems to be of great use to me. If possible, I truly hope you will capture it." The voice was delicate and clear, the tone of Quer, the spirit of the Nine-Curve Ginseng, and it trembled slightly. Han Li was momentarily startled, hesitating before replying, and instead sent out streams of divine awareness to scan through the giant bone. Upon doing so, he murmured softly in surprise. At this moment, Yue Liantian spoke up in a low, steady tone: "None of you need doubt this matter. This bone is not native to our realm—it accidentally flowed into our world through a spatial fissure. I would like to clarify upfront that although it is indeed a genuine spirit remnant, it has endured for an exceptionally long time. Upon examination, the true spiritual essence and vital energy within have completely faded, so much so that we can no longer determine which specific spirit it belonged to, nor can we even discern the original spirit's aura—making it far inferior to other spirit remnant bones that have previously appeared in our realm. Nevertheless, despite this, the bone remains remarkably resilient and, when refined into a treasure, its power is no less than that of ordinary spiritual artifacts. As for why it has come to this city, it is quite similar to the original owner of the Sacred Bricks—driven primarily by a desire to avoid complications and simply to get rid of it as soon as possible. Prior to the auction, I shall be able to stay here for the duration of one incense-burn, allowing each of you to examine and identify this ancient spirit bone at your leisure. Those particularly interested may even take the stage to inspect As soon as he finished speaking, the elderly mage shook his sleeve, and a jade-colored incense burner shot out, landing steadily at one corner of the stone platform. Inside the burner, a half-foot-long incense stick, just lit, stood upright, emitting a gentle, pale mist. Then, Yue Lian Tian flipped his hand and revealed a silver scroll, pressing it firmly against the spiritual bones. Instantly, the overwhelming aura subsided, no longer pressing with the almost suffocating intensity it had previously held. Most of the mage beings listened, glanced at the sealed bones, and their expressions of puzzlement gradually eased. Since these bones were not genuine true-spirit remains, they were merely rare materials suitable for crafting artifacts—thus, their appearance in Xueya City was not particularly surprising. Nevertheless, many high-ranking mages remained deeply interested, sending out their divine senses to probe the bones. Indeed, several mages, concealing their identities, approached closely to examine them thoroughly. Yet, regardless of how the demons examined the bones with their spiritual awareness or physically approached them to verify, after thorough inspection, they all expressed considerable disappointment. The great spiritual bone truly matched what Yue Liantian had described—beyond the faint traces of residual energy within, no particularly valuable elements were found. The true worth of a refined spiritual bone primarily lies in the residual spiritual energy and spiritual marrow inside. As long as even a single trace of these can be discovered, its value instantly multiplies by several hundredfold. Should neither of these be present, its value would plummet dramatically. When the incense in the incense burner finally burned to ash, Yue Lian Tian casually rolled up his sleeve, and the incense burner vanished in an instant. He then solemnly declared, "Well, the time has come. The auction begins now—one ancient true spirit's fossil bone, starting at five million magic stones!" Unlike the previous case of the sacred bricks, when he announced the start of the auction, the entire hall fell utterly silent, with no one stepping forward to bid. It's no surprise, for though this magnificent spiritual bone has an extraordinary origin, its utility as a mere crafting material is naturally limited—few would therefore be willing to pay a premium for it. Yet even so, the price of this bone has steadily risen, eventually reaching a remarkable "70 million" when only three or four bidders remained steadfast. The magic clan member who achieved this high price was a woman dressed in the manner of a noble lady. Upon this announcement, the other two or three bidders who had previously remained close behind suddenly fell silent, seemingly resigned to stepping aside. The elegant magic clan lady, however, flashed a look of satisfaction. "With the second bid at 70 million, and no further offers, this ancient true-spirit bone shall now belong to our esteemed friend. Heh—heh. Should any of you miss this opportunity, securing another genuine spirit bone of this caliber will surely prove a rare and difficult feat." "Yue Lian Tian seemed rather unsatisfied with the current price, and smiled lightly. "Should the magical stones be insufficient, might we not settle for other items on the spot instead?" A calm male voice suddenly spoke, and the speaker was none other than Han Li. "Of course! Whether it's materials for magical artifacts or elixirs and cultivation techniques, any valuable item, our auction hall can directly convert into magical stones—always fair and honest to both the young and the elderly. However, the exchange rate will be two-thirds of the market price, and even if you don't actually bid for the item, no refund will be given." Upon hearing this, Yue Lian Tian brightened and smiled warmly. "Very well. Since my current stock of magical stones is insufficient, I'll need to exchange for a batch. Let's pause the auction of this item for now!" Han Li said firmly. "Understood. Once you reach the rear hall, a dedicated staff member will attend to your exchange!" Yue Lian Tian nodded immediately and gestured to the nearby magical race maidens, who promptly stepped forward to guide Han Li. Han Li followed the woman silently, and after a short while, stepped through a hall door. After a cup of tea's time, when Han Li returned to his seat and opened his mouth, he calmly announced the price: "80 million." This astonishing figure naturally drew quiet murmurs from the crowd in the auction hall, with many people glancing at Han Li, speculating about his true identity. "82 million," the noble lady adjusted her expression slightly, yet raised her price even higher, as though the spiritual bone were now absolutely essential to her. "90 million," Han Li remained composed and stated once again. This time, the beauty of the magical race showed clear hesitation, glanced toward Han Li, and then, with a determined breath, announced "91 million," suddenly turning to Han Li and saying: "I am from the Hai family of Ku Ji City." This spiritual bone is of great value to our Hai family. Should you be willing to part with it, we will surely repay you generously afterward. "Is the Hai family of the Dryness City really the one led by the Saint Ancestor of Dryness? How could they have come all the way to Xueya City!" "The Hai family appears to be one of the few renowned weapon-making clans in the Sacred Realm—no wonder they've taken such interest in this bone!" "This young lady is clearly accomplished; could she possibly be a direct descendant of the Saint Ancestor of Dryness?" Clearly, this female demon's status is no ordinary one. Upon hearing her earlier words, many of the demons were initially astonished, then expressed deep respect. "One hundred million demon stones!" Han Li seemed completely unaware, coldly announcing another price that sent a ripple of surprise through the crowd of demons. Even if this lady had some connection to the Saint Ancestor of the Demon Clan, as long as she wasn't near Xueya City, Han Li would pay no attention at all. Seeing this, the lady of the Hai family immediately grew a fierce, determined expression, repeatedly saying "Good," yet ultimately chose not to bid again. "Very well, this ancient spiritual bone shall now belong to this esteemed companion," Yue Lian-tian exclaimed with great delight and quickly announced. Upon hearing this, Han Li immediately rose and once again approached the platform, presenting the spiritual stone and placing the bone into his storage bracelet. The auction concluded as such. As Han Li walked slowly along a street, a voice from Qu'er, unusually excited, echoed in his mind: "I believe the Master has now discovered the remarkable qualities of this ancient spiritual bone. With this artifact, the Master's Zhixian spiritual body will surely be able to attain the power of a Great Transcendent in the future."
