Chapter 1724: Strategic Resources
sponding information emerges in my mind.Blazing Thunder Slash!Fourth-Rank Divine Ability!"Fourth Rank Divine Ability!"Shen Changqing's mind withdrew from the stele, and then he began to flip through h..."The Three-Tier Lower Grade Master Divine Thunder Talisman, ordinary quality, equivalent to a powerful strike from a God Monarch of the first level. Starting bid is ten pieces of top-grade Nether Spirit Stones, and each increase must be at least one piece of top-grade Nether Spirit Stone!"
Let me know if you have more text you'd like me to translate!
As the auctioneer's voice faded, the entire auction hall trembled slightly. The many cultivators finally couldn't help themselves and began to bid.
Duan Jing looked at the price of the transmission jade talisman and also said loudly.
"Number 93, bidding at twenty top-grade Netherworld Spirit Stones!"
“Number 3,212, bid thirty-five top grade Nether Spirit Stones!”
"Number 65,551, bid thirty-six pieces of top-grade Netherworld Spirit Stone!"
"One hundred and twenty-six..."
Each number corresponds to the hall where the participating monks reside.
In a very short time.
The Shenlei Talisman had soared to a hundred top-grade Nether Spirit Stones.
This price is almost the same as the market price.
“The divine talisman, I, the Guhuang Holy Land, must obtain it!”
Bei Jue gave a price without hesitation, his expression resolute.
In his view.
A common quality, third-rank inferior Grandmaster talisman. While the market price is indeed around one hundred top-grade Underworld Spirit Stones, the problem is that there's no fixed price for this kind of thing.
This is different from the talismans of the God King and the God Lord. It involves the level of the Divine Prince, a fundamental transformation has already taken place.
Therefore.
Even at a premium price, the Ancient Ruins Holy Land would have to obtain such a precious treasure.
"One hundred and nine pieces of top-grade Yin-Yang Spirit Stones!"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"110 pieces of top-grade Nether Spirit Stones!"
When the price of the Divine Lord's talisman broke through one hundred top-grade Nether Spirit Stones, everyone's bids obviously slowed down. After all, a single top-grade Nether Spirit Stone was not a small sum.
Even the Jade Emperor wouldn't be able to take it out easily.
Even some powerful forces are willing to save every penny they can, spending money only where it counts.
"The competition for the divine talismans is huge!"
In the main hall of the Shangguan family, Shangguan Xinghe looked at the constantly rising bids and shook his head inwardly.
But there's no way.
It seems that divine talisman are already strategically important resources.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Even an ordinary God King, if used unexpectedly, could possibly kill a God Monarch.
Although the activation of talismans would generate fluctuations, with the deity's acute perception, it would be quite difficult to truly assassinate them.
But under the heat of battle, who would be paying attention to the surrounding movements at all times
A moment of distraction could spell disaster.
After all.
Divine Monarch-level experts, no matter which faction they belong to, can be considered the backbone.
Even among the dominant forces in the Kyushu region, cultivating a divine monarch is no easy feat.
This is also the reason why the Shangguan family wanted to recruit Shen Changqing, even though he was rejected once, Shangguan Xinghe did not give up.
Because Shangguan Xinghe was very clear about the kind of changes a powerful talisman master could bring to a force.
To be frank.
For one faction to truly grow strong, all aspects of its development must be comprehensive.
Alchemizing!
Forge!
Talismans!
These three are especially important.
Of course, formations like the Array of a Thousand Swords are also equally crucial.
Therefore.
The strength of a force is not only determined by the number of top-tier experts, but also by the strength of other aspects.
To give an example.
A force might not have a powerful being at the level of a God Monarch, but if it has a third-tier Fu Dao Master as its master, then this force's strength could even surpass that of an ordinary God Monarch force.
The premise is.
This faction has sufficient resources to allow that Fu Dao master to exert their corresponding influence.

It's not easy to truly cultivate a master of Fu Dao. Even during the Shangguan family's heyday, when they were at their most prosperous, it took them nearly all their resources to barely cultivate a third-rank Fu Dao master.
But all of those things are in the past.
The Shangguan family fell from grace.
Now I have to leave Dahuizhou and go to Guhuang to recuperate.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
And.
Even if they came to the ancient desolate Shangguan family, there was no real relaxation. No one could be sure whether the other party would kill them all.
Given all these reasons, the Shangguan family's high regard for Shen Changqing was naturally understandable.
Seeing Shangguan Xinghe raise the price again, other elders immediately began to advise against it.
"Elder Xinghe, an ordinary third-rank lower grade Grandmaster talisman, the market price is just one hundred top-grade Nether Spirit Stones. Even if there is a premium, at most it's about ten percent. If you continue to increase the price, it is unnecessary!"
The current price of the Divine Thunder Talisman has been raised to one hundred and twenty high-grade Yin-Yang Spirit Stones, a full 20% markup.
Twenty top-grade Nether Spirit Stones are not a small sum.
Seeing that Shangguan Xinghe was still increasing the price, the other party had to remind him, fearing that this person had gotten too carried away.
Upon hearing this.
Shangguan Xinghe shook her head, her expression still calm: "Talismans like this are a good deal as long as you can get your hands on them. These strategic resources will only become more important in the future."
Don't forget that the great tribulation has erupted now, with the Dark Camp led by the Four Great Empires and the Nether Camp led by forces like Tian Gang Ancestral Court waging endless wars.
If this situation continues to develop, it won't be long before the entire Underworld is affected.
At that time, whether you were neutral or not, you would be swept up by the flood of the great tribulation. Even my Shangguan family, even if we stayed in the ancient wasteland, would be no exception!
When the other cultivators heard this, their expressions all changed.
The word "great tribulation"
This is particularly sensitive for them.

Shangguan Xinghe understood these things very well.
Once a major crisis breaks out, all resources will see their prices skyrocket, especially strategically important ones, which will only become even more scarce.
>
Everyone wants to survive a catastrophe. An extra Divine Monarch Talisman is an insurance policy for life.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Even in a fierce power struggle, an extra divine talisman could potentially shift the entire course of battle.
Here is the translation:

Therefore.
Don't say a 20% markup.
Even if it's 30% overpriced.
>
Sheng Xinghe also wanted to take down all these talismans.
The Shangguan family is nothing to speak of, but they have a lot of Nether Spirit Stones.
As a top force in the former Great Soul State, the Shangguan family's foundation was naturally not comparable to ordinary forces. Even now that it has fallen, its foundation is still extremely rich.
Finally.
This divine thunder talisman, priced at one hundred and twenty-five top-grade Netherworld spirit stones, was acquired by Shangguan Xinghe.
"One hundred and twenty-five pieces of top-grade Nether Spirit Stones, hmph, just a mere divine monarch talisman. This old man sees how many more rounds you can fight!"
In the grand hall of the Ancient Wilderness Sacred Land, Bei Jue's face was grim. He was deeply displeased that the Divine Sovereign Talisman, which he was about to obtain, had fallen into the hands of another cultivator.
But a common third-rank inferior Grandmaster talisman at this price was no longer worth competing for.
The Ancient Wilderness Sacred Ground is indeed large and prosperous, but even with an abundance of Nether Spirit Stones, it's not right to be so wasteful.
And.
Bei Jue didn't believe that the other party could continue to argue with him like this.
Very soon.
The second round of bidding has already begun.
This time, the auctioned item was again a talisman of the same rank, but this time, the talisman focused on defense as its primary function.
As soon as the auction began, the price of talismans rose steadily.
It's coming soon.
The price is a top-grade Netherworld Spirit Stone exceeding 120 pieces.
At this stage, the number of cultivators who could truly contend was dwindling. Aside from top-tier forces like the Ancient Wilderness Holy Land and the Shangguan Family, the rest were scattered cultivators who had amassed some wealth.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
For them, a divine talisman could bring immense benefits.
Shen Changqing watched the auction in the field, a smile spreading across his face.
He originally thought that even the worst-quality Godly Sovereign Talisman could sell for about 100 top-grade Nether Spirit Stones, which would be a good deal. Unexpectedly, each transaction was almost a 20% premium.
This was a complete and utter surprise.
And.
Under Shen Changqing's divine sense perception, he was also well aware of the situation in other halls.
>
After more than forty auctions, most of the talismans fell into the hands of the Shangguan family. The remaining part went to top forces such as the Ancient Desolate Sacred Land and the Yin-Yang Sacred Land.
The last bit was obtained by other itinerant cultivators.
With the current sky-high price of Shenjun talismans, many casual cultivators are gritting their teeth and paying exorbitant prices to acquire them.
There's no way.
>
Who would have thought that there were so many Shenjun talismans in this auction, and the competition was so fierce.
Looking at the scene in the auction hall, Shen Changqing was surprised, and then he also understood why the talismans were so overvalued.
“No mistake, it must be because of the great calamity!”
Even if the competition is fierce, it shouldn't be this extreme.
After much deliberation.
Only the reasons for a major disaster can lead to serious price hikes in talismans.
After all, a great calamity often represents danger. One slip-up could lead to death. Therefore, each talisman likely represents a life.
Amulets are overpriced.
That makes perfect sense.
Not only are talismans overpriced, but from the recent auction, all resources related to combat cultivation techniques are significantly overpriced.
Elixirs!
Armies!
...even to battle formations and the like.
These things, the prices are all considerably higher than usual.
Thinking about this.
Shen Changqing suddenly had a thought and directly sent a message to Duan Jing, who was in the midst of hosting an auction. Upon receiving the message, he instinctively froze for a moment before reacting.
At that time, a round of auctions just ended.
Jian Jing cleared his throat and said in a loud voice, “The next auction item is a complete set of ordinary third-rank lower grade master talismans.”
As they were speaking.
He had already taken out the corresponding talismans one by one from his storage ring.
"Thunder Talisman, Divine Gang Talisman, Displacement Talisman, each one sheet, a set of talismans totaling three sheets, starting price one hundred pieces of top-grade Nether Spirit Stones, each increase not less than one piece of top-grade Nether Spirit Stone!"
As soon as these words were uttered.
The entire auction hall was in an uproar.
Many cultivators inside the grand halls watched the three talismans in the picture, their eyes burning with intense desire.
Three sets of a piece.
Attack, defense, and escape are all available.
>
So when the interlude's voice fell, the entire set of talismans had skyrocketed in price. In just a short time, it had already surpassed three hundred and fifty top-grade Netherworld Spirit Stones.
