Chapter 1723: Ancient Methods
efinitely not ordinary ones.I just don't know how long ago the powerful human ancestors lived, and whether the power of their bloodline has been completely sealed away.At least.In the human race, ther...Northern Limit went away.
He left rather abruptly.

But before long after the departure of Bei Jue, another force arrived to pay a visit.
That's it.
Chen Changqing also met them one by one.
These forces, just like the Ancient Desolate Holy Land, all wanted to recruit him into their own ranks.
After all, he is a wandering Immortal God and a third-rank talisman master of the Fu Dao sect. No matter where he goes, he will be treated like a precious guest. If we can recruit him, the benefits are self-evident.
But unfortunately.
Shen Changqing faced these solicitations, all without hesitation, refused.
Just kidding.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Joining these forces means being restricted everywhere. Being a lone cultivator is much more comfortable.
That's all for now.
If he joins these forces, then the benefits of Honglingfang City will definitely have to be shared out. In this way, joining a force would not only bring him no benefit, but also only harm.
Shen Changqing's current strength completely has no need to rely on these forces for protection.
These forces were rejected, some directly threatened on the spot, others pretended to be calm on the surface but were furious behind the scenes, and some even tried to persuade them with kind words, explaining the gravity of the situation.
But no matter what, Shen Changqing remained unmoved.
"Just a mere wandering cultivator doesn't know his place. It's an honor for him that the Shangguan family is willing to recruit him, yet he dares to refuse!"
Back at their residence, an upper-class cultivator from the Shangguan family said angrily.
Several other cultivators also had angry expressions on their faces.
They had just been turned down by Shen Changqing. Even the elders of the clan's divine lord personally came forward to recruit him, but he refused them all, which made these few people feel like they had lost face.
Only the middle-aged man in a dark robe, who had been sitting there, remained silent throughout.
After everyone finished speaking, he slowly opened his mouth.
“It’s natural for the ancestor Hongling, a lone cultivator, to be proud after reaching his current status. The Shangguan family has indeed fallen from its former glory.”
With his strength, he could even establish a sect in the ancient wilderness. However, the probability of success for this matter is not high!

Hearing the other party's words, the anger on several faces finally subsided somewhat. Even if some were still unhappy, they dared not speak out against it now.
It's very simple.
For the person before him was Shangguan Xinghe. Not only was he a revered Elder, but he was also one of the three remaining Divine Lords of the Shangguan family.
In the presence of this figure, all other cultivators could only bow their heads.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
“The Shangguan family is no longer what it used to be. With the fall of the Divine Emperor, the family’s honor has been lost. Now we can only take refuge in this desolate place like Guhuang. As members of the Shangguan family, we must consider returning to Dahuangzhou as our duty.”
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
An ordinary divine sovereign wouldn't be worth the trouble of Shangguan family personally recruiting, but a third-rank talisman master certainly would.
Such powerful individuals possess their own pride and desire to recruit success at once, which is undoubtedly impossible.
However, with many forces vying for influence this time, Honglingfang Market has also fallen into their sights. The ancestor of Hongling refused all offers, so it is estimated that trouble is imminent.
“When the time comes, my Shangguan family can step forward and recruit him, then our chances of success will greatly increase.”
Shangguan Xinghe saw through many things. Adding icing to a cake is not as good as providing charcoal in the snow. When the other party is desperate, they will naturally have no reason to refuse Shangguan's family.
If it were just an ordinary God Monarch, Shangguan Xinghe wouldn't go to such lengths to recruit them.
He could be a third-rank Fu Dao master, but he is worth it.
Speaking of this.
Shangguan Xinghe looked at the few people with indifferent eyes, his tone slightly cold: "Recruiting Hongling Ancestor is an important matter for the family. Some things you can just say in private, but if it disrupts the family's plan, the consequences should be clear to you."
"Yes!"
"Elder Xinghe, please rest assured, we would naturally not speak carelessly!"
Upon hearing this, several people trembled with fear and hurriedly replied.
The Red Ridge Market was seething with undercurrents.
But for ordinary cultivators, there is no impact. The auction time will arrive as scheduled.

This day.

A large number of cultivators stepped into the Hongling Trading Company.

In the second layer, the scene organizer deliberately opened up a small world with great effort to accommodate numerous cultivators who came to participate in the auction.
In a small world.
Pavilions, platforms, towers, and halls stand in rows.
Each cultivator who participates in the auction has their own independent residence, separated from other cultivators.
At the same time.
Each grand hall also had phantom projections, clearly displaying the auction scene. As for bidding, it was done directly through transmission jade talismans.
The purpose of this approach is simply to ensure absolute secrecy.
>
After all, for the strong, divine consciousness is extremely powerful. Even if they hide their appearance, it's difficult to conceal their identity. Only this kind of offer can completely eliminate the possibility of identity exposure.
Furthermore.
Each grand hall is randomly numbered, serving as a form of identification.
"Such auction methods are quite rare!"
In the grand hall specially prepared by Duan Jing, Shen Changqing looked at the illusory scene before him and the communication jade talisman in his hand, a hint of surprise on his face.
This is the translated content:
It was the first time he had ever heard of creating a miniature world as an auction setting.
This is the time.
The phantom of the green robe appeared.
From virtual to real.
>
Just like a normal old person.
"This kind of auction method is considered the most common means in ancient times, after all, any cultivator who can participate in the auction has a naturally high status and cannot be treated casually. "
"I never expected that after so many years, the Underworld would still be using this method!"
Qing Yi's expression remained calm. She was used to such tactics.
“It’s an ancient technique!”
Shen Changqing nodded slightly.
Then.
His divine sense expanded outward, quickly taking in everything within the small world.
In this miniature world, there are numerous restrictions. Even if an ordinary deity probes with their divine sense, it will automatically trigger the restrictions, alerting others.
But Shen Changqing's divine sense was too powerful. Such a restriction was like nothing to him, so there was no possibility of it being triggered.
Under the shroud of divine consciousness.
Shen Changqing had a clear view this time of how many cultivators were participating in the auction.
130,000 cultivators!

Among them, the weakest cultivation level is at the Divine King Realm.
Most cultivators are at the level of a Divine Master. There are not many Divine Lords left.
Like those seen before, Bei Jue and Shangguan Xinghe, etc., are all prominently listed.
Upon seeing this.
Shen Changqing could only sigh with emotion again, the depth of the Netherworld was truly terrifying.
A mere auction could attract tens of thousands of powerful beings, with the weakest being God Kings, and most being at the God Lord level.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Any deity, placed in the heavens, could open up a divine race.
That is to say.
If all these deities were in the heavens, it is estimated that they could add tens of thousands of divine races to the heavens.
At this moment.

The auction has already begun.
As the ostensible head of the Chamber of Commerce, Duàn Jǐng naturally became the auctioneer for this event. After all, this auction was a significant affair, and only he could hold the situation together.
"Celestial Spirit Pill, a top-tier Divine King-grade elixir. Consuming it allows Divine Kings to enhance their cultivation and slightly increase the probability of successful breakthroughs!"
“The starting price is one high-grade Yinling Stone, and each subsequent bid must not be lower than one high-grade Yinling Stone!”
As the auctioneer's voice fell, most of the cultivators remained silent, only a few god kings bid to compete.
Although the Heavenly Spirit Pill is quite good, it's ultimately just a pill at the God King level. For God Lords, its effect is extremely limited. However, some God Kings find it quite useful.
Shen Changqing watched the auction of Tianling Pills without any intention of interfering.
Divine King Pill.
Even the top-tier divine king pills were useless to him.
It's foolish to say that cultivation can restore even a little bit of consumed fairy power.
There's no way.
The power provided by the Divine King's Pills and the like was too low-level. It wasn't as useful as Shen Changqing casually breathing in two breaths of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.
Only to see the price slowly rising, finally the price of Tianling Pill was fixed at eight top-grade Nether Spirit Stones, there was no further increase.
Immediately.
The gavel stroke definitively settled the matter, determining the ownership of the first auction item.
Then.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
This is the second item, and the third item up for auction.
The news of the Hongling Commerce Guild's auction spread quickly, attracting a large number of cultivators. Many cultivators came hoping to take this opportunity to sell some items they no longer needed at high prices in exchange for cultivation resources.
When there are more people competing, some things naturally become overpriced.
Even if the Hongling Merchant Association doesn't accept everything, at least one top-grade Nether Spirit Stone is required. The auction items are also numerous.
Two days' time.
It's basically gone in a flash.
>
The past two days, the auction has been selling items belonging to other cultivators.
Most things, Shen Changqing didn't need. It wasn't until a divine beast's fur appeared that he took action to claim it.
Although the price was also somewhat premium, Shen Changqing didn't care much.
This is the end of a paragraph.
After all, drawing talismans is quite profitable. Even if he bought some materials at a premium price, it wouldn't much affect Shen Changqing. At most, he would make a few less Nether Spirit Stones.
For other cultivators, a few top-grade Netherworld Spirit Stones would be considered extremely precious. However, in Shen Changqing's eyes, a few top-grade Netherworld Spirit Stones were nothing at all.
It's about time for the main event!
This is just a simple example to show you how it works.
Looking at the illusory figure before him, Shen Changqing silently estimated that time was about right.
Over the past two days, the nonstop auctions have been filled with items belonging to other cultivators, all sorts of odds and ends. Now, it's finally time for the Divine Jun Talisman auction.
Over the two days of the auction, many cultivators participated, but most remained calm. These cultivators' intentions were clear to Shen Changqing: they had all come for the talismans.
As expected.
Shortly after Shen Changqing's thoughts fell, a few more auction items ended. With a flick of his palm, a lacquered box appeared before the many cultivators.
“I believe all of you came to my Hongling Chamber of Commerce for this auction, aiming for the God Monarch Talisman. Now, it’s time to get down to business!”
> As they were talking.
When the scene changed, a talisman appeared in front of many cultivators.
Even across the veil of illusions, these cultivators could sense the terrifying aura contained within the talisman, and the Dao rhymes brimming between every stroke. to translate!Therefore.Gu Xingcai specially arranged for Gu Ling to stay by Shen Changqing's side, hoping to receive his guidance.After all, looking at all humankind, no one's strength surpasses that...
