this type of elixir pill could shorten cultivation time, allowing Martial Artists to rapidly increase their cultivation in a short period of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, one should not consume too many of these pills, as the power gained was not cultivated by oneself and, despite its purity, it contained impurities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There are three in total, to be auctioned separately,” the White Robed Elder slowly said, clearly aware of this matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The starting price is ten thousand low-grade spiritual stones, each bid must increase by at least a thousand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the White Robed Elder finished speaking, the crowd below erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the Martial Artists present were from the Spirit Sea Realm, and they were in dire need of such elixir pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, many people started bidding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Twelve thousand!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fifteen thousand!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eighteen thousand…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shouts rose and fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan was astonished as he listened, evidently having underestimated the allure of this type of elixir pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For ordinary Martial Artists, an increase in cultivation meant a significant boost in strength; perhaps it would earn them recognition within their sect or give them a better chance to escape during adventures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, the first Jade Pill was sold for twenty-two thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining two elixir pills were sold for twenty thousand and twenty-four thousand, respectively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three elixir pills selling for nearly seventy thousand low-grade spiritual stones was something Lin Xuan had never imagined before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The White Robed Elder was also very satisfied with the price fetched by the first item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The auction continued smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything that appeared in the auction house was extraordinary; there was no worry of any item being unsold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan didn’t bid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was not lacking cultivation techniques or elixir pills at the time, only a sharp weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The auction slowly proceeded; within two hours, seven items were sold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the White Robed Elder on the auction stage spoke loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Next up, we have an item that can be considered quite rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hope everyone will seize this opportunity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words piqued the interest of the crowd, and many began to speculate about what it could be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master Bai, stop keeping us in suspense, just tell us!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Down below, an impatient Martial Artist shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone looked curiously at the auction stage, waiting for the White Robed Elder to reveal the answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A beautiful maid stepped forward, carrying a fiery red longsword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The White Robed Elder took the longsword in his hand and gently waved it in the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sword light over ten meters long suddenly appeared, cutting through the air and bringing with it a wave of heat that rose to the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like a sea of fire spreading, the air ablaze in red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A Xuan-grade treasure!” The crowd below felt the power and exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, everyone’s fervent gazes converged on the auction stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The White Robed Elder was very pleased with this effect; he laughed loudly, “Yes, indeed, it is a Xuan-grade treasure, and even an ancient one at that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This treasure saber has a mysterious origin and is not a contemporary artifact.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do not miss this opportunity!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The White Robed Elder then placed the longsword back down and smilingly said, “The starting price is one hundred thousand low-grade spiritual stones, and each bid must increase by no less than ten thousand spiritual stones!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words echoed in the auction house for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiss—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd gasped, their enthusiasm cooled somewhat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One hundred thousand spiritual stones was not a small amount; typical Soul Realm Martial Artists simply couldn’t afford it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only disciples of Great Sects or sons of prominent families could pay such a huge sum, and once these kinds of people joined the bidding, the price would definitely surpass one hundred thousand spiritual stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room fell somewhat silent for a moment; ordinary disciples couldn’t afford it, and the wealthy were observing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan frowned slightly; this was not the scene he wanted to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One hundred ten thousand,” he said lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan-grade treasure sabers were not common; he didn’t believe these people could let this opportunity pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, after he spoke, more bids followed one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The price of the fiery red long sword continued to climb, reaching 150,000.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary martial artists had begun to incessantly swallow their saliva, while Lin Xuan’s eyes flickered with a trace of a smile on his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew the price would not stop there, for he had noticed among those bidding, there was a disciple from the Cang Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Cang Lei’s brother, Cang Bao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a swordman and a genius disciple on the Hidden Dragon List, Lin Xuan believed he would not let this opportunity pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, Cang Bao’s expression was dark, seemingly impatient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He snorted coldly, and his chilly voice rang out, “200,000!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence, absolute silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the voice of Cang Bao echoed, and the crowd was startled by his bid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan smiled satisfactorily; this price had already exceeded his budget, and even the white-robed elder on the auction stage was all smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just when everyone thought it was going to end, a lazy voice sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“210,000!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone else is raising the bid!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Somebody is actually ignoring Cang Bao’s face!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Qing Province, there was hardly anyone who didn’t recognize Cang Bao, and now someone was daring to snatch the prey from the tiger’s mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when the crowd discovered the source of the voice, they all fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because that voice had come from one of the private rooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone who could enter a private room either had an illustrious identity or superior strength, far beyond their comparison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Bao’s expression darkened further as he looked towards the second-floor private room, his fists clenched tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“220,000!” Cang Bao announced his bid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“230,000!” The voice still sounded lazy, without any change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“250,000!” Cang Bao gritted his teeth; this was his limit, any more and he would have to give up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His knuckles turned white from the force of his grip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this saber, he could definitely enter the top fifty of the Hidden Dragon List!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“260,000.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice sounded as if it was talking about something trivial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Bao’s body stiffened slightly; he didn’t place another bid but sat down with a dark expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the auction stage, the white-robed elder cheerfully said, “Congratulations to the owner of room number three for obtaining this Xuan-grade treasure saber.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd was amazed; the price of 260,000 had already exceeded the value of a low-level Xuan Rank treasure, but the person didn’t seem to care at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan was the most pleased; he hadn’t expected a low-level Xuan Rank treasure to sell for 260,000 spiritual stones, which was close to the value of an intermediate Xuan Rank treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this money, he felt more confident about the upcoming auction of the Longsword treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The following part of the auction was somewhat dull; the crowd’s emotions were clearly not very high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next item soon pushed the auction’s atmosphere to a climax again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white-robed elder brought out a longsword, raising it high in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword was three feet long, engraved with ancient inscriptions on the blade that shone coldly like autumn water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The longsword danced lightly, its sword light flickering, cutting through the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan keenly sensed that the power of this longsword was far above that of the fiery red long sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The sword’s name is Autumn Trace, a mid-grade Xuan Rank treasure, starting price 200,000, and each increase must not be less than 10,000!” The white-robed elder announced, and the crowd erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the auction hall’s main door slowly opened, and a group of people walked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd looked back in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew that during the auction process, martial artists were not allowed to enter and exit at will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, someone was disregarding this rule and had walked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan also turned to look, and when he saw the person, his body suddenly froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, a group of people stood at the entrance, radiating powerful auras.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the middle of them, a man with star-like eyes and a sword-like gaze had an aura as sharp as a drawn divine sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan’s pupils constricted, and he involuntarily clenched his fists.\u003C\u002Fp>",1455,"2026-06-06T00:46:41.017Z",1,"novelbin.me","e2db9678328ad5fc2327e7942a76bb736ccd8949b5dc5cc65d05522f391a68f3","inverse-sword-mad-god-chapter-159","inverse-sword-mad-god-chapter-157",1795,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finverse-sword-mad-god-cover.jpg"]
