Fated Cultivation: I Have Max-Level Divination Skills

Chapter 16: Insanity Technique, Defying the Heavens Bidding

On stage,

a waiter slowly approached, holding a tray with a crystal-clear jade slip standing silently on it. Zhao Huai knew that the cultivation technique he was waiting for has arrived.

From the high-end packaging, it was evident that this was a high-level technique.

"This technique is called Insanity Technique. After cultivating it, one can greatly enhance one's spiritual power. It's a rare technique that mainly helps in boosting one's spirit power. However, its content is a bit abstruse."

Li Yuanxing pointed to the jade slip and introduced it to the audience below the stage.

"A spirit-based technique? That's indeed rare."

"Insanity Technique, I've heard of that name before. It seems like I remember, a hundred years ago, the famous Idealism Sect was able to make a name for itself with this technique. It was said that many sect disciples used it to suppress a large number of demons."

"The Idealism Sect has long declined. The reason why the Immortal Method remains everlasting is that it can constantly update and innovate. This technique of theirs is outdated, which is why it has become so."

Many cultivators and swordsmen present discussed enthusiastically, talking about the past of the Insanity Technique. Many people thought that such a technique was only a small path and could not make it to the big stage.

Zhao Huai naturally heard all these words, and he thought there shouldn't be many people competing for this technique, so he should be able to acquire it easily.

At the same time, he stayed silent and started to toss copper coins.

[Misfortune goes hand in hand. Let's just look at it.]

[Hexagram One: Unity of Taoist mind and Divine Prowess Dual Cultivation. Faced with an unknown technique, the indication you get for bidding for it is "Fortune."]>

Traceback Guidance: This is a restraining type of Intention Technique.

[Hexagram Two: The speaker is unintentional, but the listener has a mind. If you decide to give up this declining technique, the indication you get is "Misfortune."]>

Traceback Guidance: The listeners have ill intentions and impure motives.

"There aren't many techniques like this; it seems like I have to fight for it."

Zhao Huai's sharp gaze swept over the entire auction venue and saw four masked men, completely covered on a hot day, as if they were too ugly to show their faces.

Their clothes were surprisingly identical, indicating they all belonged to the same power. Their eyes were all fixated on the jade slip, as if their gleaming eyes were about to overflow.

It seemed that there were people who knew the value of this technique, so couldn't be careless.

Zhao Huai thought to himself.

"The starting price of Insanity Technique is 5,000 liang (taels) or 500 lower-grade spiritual stones. Each bid must not be lower than one-tenth of the original price."

Li Yuanxing raised his hand and announced, "The auction starts now!"

"Six thousand liang!"

The first masked youth among the four yelled, directly adding 1,000 liang.

This price surprised many people at the scene, as a cultivation technique wasn't as practical and direct as pills, talisman inscriptions, or magical weapons.

It was possible that you couldn't learn the technique, couldn't learn it well, or it might be incompatible with your physique. Therefore, it usually had to be targeted.

"Six thousand and five hundred liang."

A stern-faced middle-aged businessman also added to the price with a smile.

"It's not bad to buy it for collection. After all, it's the heirloom of the Great Immortal Cultivation Sects. It has some immortal aura."

"Eight thousand liang."

The masked youth raised his hand again, showing no expression while increasing the price.

This time he added 2,000 liang!

Everyone, including the middle-aged businessman, looked astonished.

"We really need this technique, so we hope you can give us some face." The masked young man used his True Qi to transmit his voice. It was extremely hoarse and harsh, barely audible as if it wasn't human and extremely strange.

At the same time, the masked young man emitted a pressure befitting a high-level cultivator, making people around dare not breathe.

Therefore, no one else immediately called out a higher price. After all, exceeding 8,000 liang to buy a technique that you might not even learn would be a significant loss, right?

"Ten thousand liang, I'll take it."

A languid voice sounded, carrying a faint tone of unquestionable authority.

It was Zhao Huai who was in the luxurious private room.

This immediately caught the attention of the guests present.

After all, there had never been a sound from this room before, and now someone was actually bidding! They didn't know who this big figure from Jinzhou was, but he had quite a presence. The moment he opened his mouth, he raised the price to 10,000 liang.

Everyone wondered if they had misunderstood. Was this technique really that good?

"Good! Ten thousand liang! Is anyone going to raise the price?"

Li Yuanxing saw that the Insanity Technique was being fought for. Even though he was surprised, he was naturally delighted. A technique that had been gathering dust in the warehouse could sell for 10,000 liang, which was a great profit.

He immediately asked another question, as if to fuel the fire.

Hearing Zhao Huai's voice, a vicious look flashed in the eyes of the masked young man, and he glared at the private room above with an unhappy face.The masked people around him revealed questioning gazes.

"Boss, should we kill him?"

"Don't create trouble. It's not easy to come here, and there are powerful people guarding it." The masked young man shook his head and then raised his hand.

"Ten thousand two, plus three hundred low-grade spiritual stones."

Zhao Huai slightly sat up on the mink-covered armchair and exclaimed with surprise:

"Wow, this guy is serious, pulling out spiritual stones directly."

He had somewhat underestimated the determination of the other party.

"Ten thousand two, plus five hundred low-grade spiritual stones."

Zhao Huai decisively followed up.

"Ten thousand two, plus one thousand low-grade spiritual stones."

The masked young man looked extremely indifferent.

Zhao Huai saw this situation and couldn't help but frown.

He hit a hard rock. Could it be a ploy?

He came out this time, originally thinking it would be good enough to obtain a satisfactory cultivation technique, so the money he brought was limited. He didn't expect that at this critical moment, someone would stubbornly snatch things from him.

Of course, if he wanted to grab it, he could take out most of his wealth, but it would seem a bit unworthy.

For a moment, he hesitated.

In the past, he definitely wouldn't have hesitated for so long since money could be earned again. It was just dirt.

But right now, he had just gotten married and gotten a new wife. It was a time for spending money in his family. If he spent like this, would it affect his foundation?

"Dear friend, do you seem to be having difficulties?"

At this moment, the youth in a dark green robe who hadn't spoken for a long time laughed and said.

"It's not difficulties, just a bit of a struggle." Zhao Huai glanced at him, didn't hide anything, and spoke directly.

"How about I help you this time, just to make a friend."

"Oh?"

Zhao Huai cautiously stared at him.

The young man in a dark green robe laughed helplessly, spread his hands, and said, "Don't misunderstand. I just want to find a teacher who can teach me how to refine qi."

"Why are you looking for me?" Zhao Huai asked, puzzled.

The young man in the dark green robe was serious, "I have an intuition that you are very powerful."

"Ten thousand two, plus one thousand low-grade spiritual stones, once!" Zhao Huai heard the voice and knew that he had no time to consider it, so he nodded and said:

"Okay, I promise you."

"How much money can you contribute?"

"Not much, but I can definitely help you get this cultivation technique." The young man in the dark green robe looked extremely confident and then raised his hand to bid:

"Three thousand low-grade spiritual stones!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked.

What kind of concept was three thousand low-grade spiritual stones?

The exchange rate between spiritual stones and silver was one to ten. Three thousand low-grade spiritual stones were equivalent to thirty thousand silver taels!

That was almost the entire wealth, right?

It was worth knowing that the annual tax revenue of Jinzhou was only ninety thousand silver taels!

They must be crazy, completely crazy!

Zhao Huai listened and was also very surprised, "Can you do it? This is not a small amount."

"Senior, don't worry."

The young man in a dark green robe tilted his head, smiled brilliantly, and gave a thumbs up, saying:

"My father is the governor, so don't worry."
