Chapter 2215: Chapter 2219: Blackwind Stronghold

In the Void Nether Realm, Earth Rank Cultivation Techniques are the main cultivation methods of top forces, limited to the top forces only.

For those first-tier and second-tier forces, only the leaders have the right to practice Earth Rank Great Dao Cultivation Techniques.

Others, even if they practice Earth Rank Techniques, are only practicing Earth Rank Primary Techniques.

Profound-tier Advanced Techniques are cultivation methods only accessible to leaders of second-tier and third-tier forces. A single Profound-tier Advanced Technique can drive second-tier and third-tier forces crazy, especially a technique without Great Dao limitations.

The so-called Great Dao limitation refers to certain Great Dao Cultivation Techniques that are only suitable for cultivators who have perceived a certain Great Dao or several Great Daos. Most techniques on the continent are single-attribute techniques, suitable only for cultivators who have perceived a particular Great Dao.

Average forces collect various techniques suitable for different Great Dao attributes to provide choices for the next generation. After all, even the descendants of two cultivators who have perceived the same Great Dao may not inherently have the talent to perceive that Great Dao.

A Profound-tier Advanced Technique without Great Dao restrictions is sufficient to excite a first-tier force. Even Hu Yiqiu and Sang Zhenye were tempted when they heard Pang Guang’s introduction.

Of course, this is because the Mingqian Realm is located on the frontier, with far fewer cultivation resources compared to other realms, and fewer high-level techniques and combat skills.

If not for the first president of Changlin Academy creating a Heavenly-tier Primary combat skill, Changlin Academy wouldn’t have any Heavenly-tier combat skills or techniques.

”One hundred thousand gold coins!”

”One hundred ten thousand!”

”One hundred twenty thousand!”

...

As the auction began, bids rang out in the hall. In the blink of an eye, the bid reached one million gold coins.

”This kid is interesting.”

Hu Yiqiu glanced at Pang Guang on the high platform, speaking softly: ”Generally, the auction price for a Profound-tier Advanced Technique without Great Dao restrictions starts at one million gold coins, but he set the price at one hundred thousand gold coins, sparking the auction atmosphere with the first item. Such a technique absolutely can’t be taken away cheaply. No wonder he’s one of the most outstanding younger generation in the Pang Family, his business acumen is quite remarkable.”

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, a look of recognition in his eyes.

He had experienced auctions on the Yuan Star, and later the Yi Chen Group also had the world’s largest auction house under its banner. He clearly understood that the intensity of an auction’s atmosphere often determines the bidding limits for various auction items.

”Five million gold coins!”

An aged voice called from a private room on the second floor, causing the auction hall to fall silent for a moment as eyes turned toward the room.

”Are top forces stepping in already?”

”The rooms on the second floor are prepared for first-tier forces in the Mingqian Realm. It seems a major force has taken a liking to this technique.”

”This is somewhat against the rules!”

”This is putting Canghai Trade Alliance in a tight spot!”

People in the hall began to discuss.

Pang Guang on the high platform squinted slightly, glancing at the private room on the second floor.

Under normal circumstances, if the auction hall has separate private rooms, those inside generally don’t participate in bidding on the first item, as every auction’s first item is meant to set the atmosphere and it’s definitely not ordinary.

And the auction hall gave face to those forces, setting up separate rooms for them, implying they should refrain from bidding on the first item.

This is an unspoken rule at auctions in the Void Nether Realm, since if top forces start bidding on the first item, middle and lower-tier forces won’t even bother to compete, and the first item won’t instigate competition among major forces.

Thus, if a major force bids on the first item, its greatest value is lost. The auction atmosphere can’t be kindled, and it might drop to freezing point due to their intervention.

If a major force makes a move on the first item, middle and lower-tier forces will certainly suspect they might continue bidding later, lowering everyone’s willingness to bid.

Unable to win desired items, not due to lack of ability but due to insufficient power making them afraid to bid—such bidding becomes meaningless!

”Five million gold coins from Room Three on the second floor, anyone bidding higher?”

Seeing the hall quiet down suddenly, a somber look flashed in Pang Guang’s eyes as he spoke loudly.

”Six million gold coins!”

Just as Pang Guang finished speaking, a voice rang out from the hall, the bidder also added: ”Such disregard for rules, still sitting in the room, I wonder how thick their skin is!”

The crowd in the hall all looked over, expressions changing.

Everyone knew those in private rooms on the second floor must be first-tier forces in the Mingqian Realm, yet the bidder dared to ridicule them directly, showing great audacity!

”Who is this?”

”Don’t know him, but I can’t see through his power!”

”This person might be a strong Unity Realm Stage cultivator!”

”Probably, since he seems unfamiliar, he must be a hidden expert!”

After seeing the bidder, the crowd began discussing quietly.

The bidder was a frail elderly man, full of white hair but with a rather rosy complexion. Beside him sat a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, staring wide-eyed at the Jade Slip on the tray held by the Flame Robe woman next to Pang Guang.

It seemed the old man was bidding on the technique for the girl beside him.

”Hmph! You dare ridicule us, but do you dare reveal your name?”

An icy voice came from Room Three, followed by an imposing aura directed violently at the old man.

”Impudent!”

A sudden shout echoed, an old man appeared mid-air in the hall, a vast oppressive force emanated from him, dispersing the aura from the room and pressing back at those inside.

*Hmm!*

A muffled groan came from the room, obviously the person inside couldn’t withstand the old man’s overwhelming pressure, suffering a covert loss.

”This is Canghai Trade Alliance, not your Blackwind Stronghold, Hei Mo old ghost, behave yourself!”

The airborne old man sternly rebuked, then vanished.

”Blackwind Stronghold?!”

”So that’s why they disregard rules!”

”Blackwind Stronghold is the biggest mountain bandit force in the Mingqian Realm; expecting them to follow unwritten rules is impossible.”

”But Blackwind Stronghold is bold, daring to release Great Dao pressure in Canghai Trade Alliance’s auction hall, aren’t they afraid of being wiped out by Canghai Trade Alliance?”

Upon hearing the old man’s words, discussions arose again in the hall.
