Chapter 216: Knowledge
It wasnt just weapons, the manufactured goods portion of the auction had all manner of strange and unusual devices. Most of them didnt actually have very unique capabilities, but just like the weapons they seemed grown rather than built. They solved the same problems as other tools, but with a different method. There was an expensive magical tool named Aura Tracker, it could be calibrated so precisely that it could follow the specific aura of a single cultivator and track them from miles away.
The Arborists instead created something called a Blood Compass. It took only a single drop of blood to point the way to its target. Obviously, both tools had drawbacks and methods by which they could be blocked, but they were still powerful nonetheless. Thankfully, they were both expensive devices and the Blood Compass that was up for auction sold for 2.3 million Spirit Stones.
Too bad its not higher Ill have to be careful to keep every last drop of my blood accounted for in the future.
As before, the tools either didnt catch Sages eye or they were too expensive and he could only watch them sold one after the other. Cui Shufen actually jumped in and purchased something. After meeting Peak Master Lupeng for the first time, Sage looked into Cui Shufen, especially her famed reputation as an Astrologer. As one of the many professions, Sage knew of its existence. When he heard they tried to predict the future he immediately likened it with Earth Astrologers: telling horoscopes, reading palms, and flipping tarot cards. At that time hed written the profession off, but after learning about Cui Shufen he researched them a bit further and found he had been wrong.
It is time to begin the auction that doesnt just benefit yourself, but can change the fate of whole clans for all time! As they say, knowledge is power. So whos looking to purchase some power? This time the Magic Mirror will be showing you all a glimpse of what the skill for sale can do. Seeing is believing after all, so now you can get a little preview instead of just basing your decision on hearsay.
Sage was impressed. If they could use that mirror to display a skill without anyone actually learning it, that was a very useful device. Too bad they werent selling the Magic Mirror or those special candles. Putting aside his greedy thoughts, he saw they used an unusual method of storing skills for the auction. Instead of a jade slip, bamboo slip, or scroll they used amber slips. They were long narrow tokens, a few inches wide, about six inches long, and looked like they were carved with intricate scrollwork and embossing. An attendant placed the amber slip into a slot on the front of the lantern and the light from the candle passed through it before hitting the Magic Mirror. On the tree trunk the big screen displayed the image of a shadowy figure performing the skill in the slip. The person looked like just a shadowy phantom, but the skill was vividly detailed. A wave of violet flame flashed out in a semi-circle towards a copse of trees. It didnt ignite them, instead the flame burned a perfect horizontal line through the whole forest like an unstoppable sword.
The bidding took off, and many more impressive skills soon followed after. This method of auction really worked to get people excited. They of course never mentioned at what rank the shadowy demonstration was while it was performing these techniques, so it was probably safe to say they were exaggerating the skills to show their full potential. Sage could only commend them for their business savvy.
With the Timeless Masters library, Sage already had far too many skills, so he hadnt thought there was anything for him in this section of the auction. He was wrong. When the mystery skills were brought up, Sage was immediately attracted to the third one. These unidentified skills were those that couldnt be displayed in use by the Magic Mirror and nobody had been able to cultivate them to determine their effects. These skills were all contained in various mediums. They couldnt be copied onto the amber slips, which was of course the main reason they couldnt be simulated. When Sage saw the symbols on the stone tablet he was hooked.
