Finally, an auction item on stage caught Leo’s interest.
“Fellow cultivators, the seventeenth auction item is a pair of high-quality spiritual weapons, the Thunderfire Dual Spirit Sword.”
On the stone platform, in front of Rodrigo, two swords were displayed.
One sword had a fiery red blade covered with flame patterns, and its hilt was engraved with a sharp flame eye.
The other sword’s blade flickered with lightning, and its hilt was engraved with a lightning eagle eye.
“The Thunderfire Dual Spirit Sword was crafted by a master blacksmith using precious thunder crystals and fire crystals. It contains the essence blood and energy from the demon core of the Thunderfire Two-Headed Eagle.”
“The two swords can be used separately or combined into one, doubling their attack power.”
“This Thunderfire Dual Spirit Sword is best suited for cultivators with both thunder and fire attributes. Fellow cultivators, if any of you specialize in these elements, don’t miss this opportunity.”
Rodrigo introduced loudly.
Both thunder and fire elements are known for their strong attack power. Fire is relatively common, but having both thunder and fire elements in one’s spiritual roots is rare.
“The starting price for the Thunderfire Dual Spirit Sword is 35, 000 Low-Quality Spirit Stones, with each bid increment no less than 1, 000 Low-Quality Spirit Stones,” Rodrigo announced.
“36, 000 Low-Quality Spirit Stones!”
“38, 000!”
“40, 000!”
The bidding was intense.
“50, 000!”
In Pavilion No. 5, Wood Sword Venerable, the deputy leader of Broken Blade Gate, looked at the Thunderfire Dual Spirit Sword with fervent eyes and directly raised the price to 50, 000.
At this price, the room fell silent.
“55, 000!” Leo’s old and hoarse voice broke the silence.
This bid immediately drew the attention of many cultivators.
“Master, that senior has placed a bid,” Elder Catalina said, looking towards Pavilion No. 9.
Elder Catalina had been watching Leo out of curiosity about what items would interest him.
Wade nodded slightly and glanced in Leo’s direction.
Wood Sword Venerable also looked at Leo. He even tried to use his spiritual sense to see Leo’s face but was blocked by a black cloak.
This made Wood Sword Venerable very curious about Leo’s identity.
“Wood Sword fellow cultivator, it seems someone wants to compete with your Broken Blade Gate,” Peter Barker sneered.
Wood Sword Venerable glanced at Peter Barker and snorted coldly. “It’s just an auction. I can bid, and so can others.”
“58, 000!” Wood Sword Venerable thought for a moment and bid again.
“60, 000!” Leo’s hoarse voice sounded again, filled with determination.
“65, 000! If this fellow cultivator bids higher, I will not continue,” Wood Sword Venerable said loudly, looking at Leo.
65, 000 Low-Quality Spirit Stones was Wood Sword Venerable’s limit. Although the Thunderfire Dual Spirit Sword was excellent, it wasn’t worth spending too many Spirit Stones on.
“Thank you, fellow cultivator. I bid 66, 000,” Leo said loudly.
Rodrigo looked at Leo with respect because Leo had consigned an Ascension Pill for this auction.
After waiting for a while and seeing no further bids, Rodrigo announced loudly, “Since there are no more bids, the Thunderfire Dual Spirit Sword goes to the guest in Pavilion No. 9!”
“Next item…”
As the auction progressed, the starting prices of the items increased.
The three major families of Zratol-the Watts family, Golden Family, and Kaufman family-as well as Broken Blade Gate, Bloodsoul Sect, and Falling Blossom Palace all participated actively.
Starting prices had reached 60, 000 Low-Quality Spirit Stones, with final prices approaching 100, 000 Low-Quality Spirit Stones.
Most cultivators could no longer afford to compete.
After winning the Thunderfire Dual Spirit Sword, Leo did not bid again until the twenty-fourth item appeared.
On a jade tray was a scroll emitting a serene moonlight glow.
“The twenty-fourth auction item is a rare cultivation method scroll called Clear Shadow Spirit Moon Cultivation Method.”
“This fifth-grade cultivation method is best suited for cultivators with Water Spiritual Physique. It contains several powerful divine techniques and can be cultivated up to the Spirit God realm.”
After Rodrigo’s introduction, the audience buzzed with discussion.
“A fifth-grade cultivation method scroll is indeed rare.”
“Unfortunately, it’s only suitable for those with Water Spiritual Physique.”
“There aren’t many cultivators with Water Spiritual Physique, and most of them are female.”
Many people showed regret on their faces.
“The starting price for this Clear Shadow Spirit Moon Cultivation Method is 80, 000 Low-Quality Spirit Stones, with each bid increment no less than 2, 000 Low-Quality Spirit Stones. The auction begins now!” Rodrigo announced loudly.
Unlike previous items, there were no immediate bids for this one.
Just as Leo was about to bid, a clear and pleasant female voice called out, “85, 000!”
“It’s Seraphina!” a cultivator exclaimed.
Everyone turned to look at Seraphina from Falling Blossom Palace.
“Seraphina, my Bloodsoul Sect is also interested in this cultivation method,” Peter Barker said to her.
“Mr. Barker, please feel free to bid,” Seraphina replied calmly.
“120, 000 Low-Quality Spirit Stones. If Seraphina bids higher than this price, my Bloodsoul Sect will not compete,” Peter Barker said after some thought.
Hearing this, Seraphina fell silent. 120, 000 Low-Quality Spirit Stones was indeed a high price.
Soon, Seraphina decided not to bid further and shook her head gently.
“Thank you, Seraphina,” Peter Barker said with a forced smile.
Rodrigo glanced around and said, “Pavilion No. 4 has bid 120, 000. If there are no higher bids…”
“130, 000!” Just as Rodrigo was about to announce the winner, Leo’s hoarse voice rang out again.
Everyone turned to look at Leo’s pavilion.
Peter Barker also looked towards Leo’s pavilion with a frown.
“Peter Barker elder, it seems someone doesn’t respect your Bloodsoul Sect,” Wood Sword Venerable chuckled.
“As Wood Sword Venerable said, this auction is open for bidding. My Bloodsoul Sect can handle it,” Peter Barker replied coldly.
In truth, Bloodsoul Sect was known for its domineering nature. They were certainly displeased with this mysterious bidder but had to restrain themselves in this setting.
“135, 000!” Peter Barker bid again.
