Chapter 2131
- This year, the fact that the Rare Treasure Pavilion was going to auction three sets of Saint Grade Martial Tactics had attracted even more people. Because it was a Saint Grade Martial Tactic, even though it was only a Human Rank Primitive Saint Grade Martial Tactic, the pull factor was still incredibly high. Even a ninth-rated force would go all out to fight for it. In fact, even a ninth-rated force would not have that many sets of Saint Grade Martial Tactics on hand. From the two middle-aged men, David Bishop finally learned about the process of the Rare Treasure Pavilion auction fair. He made up his mind right away that three days later, he would join the auction. “However, with the 198 pieces of eighth-grade Saint Stones that I have now, I won’t possibly be able to bid for any Saint Grade Martial Tactic! Well, of course, if I use my fifth-grade Saint Stones, these ninth-rated forces would never be able to fight with me, but the thing is, I can’t just expose my fifth-grade Saint Stones like that.” David Bishop knew very well in his heart that once the fifth-grade Saint Stones in his hand were exposed, he would become everyone’s target. In fact, just one fifth-grade Saint Stone alone was already the equivalent of 10,000 pieces of ninth-grade Saint Stones or 1,000 pieces of eighth-grade Saint Stones. Who would not want that? Most importantly, the worth of the fifth-grade Saint Stones did not stop right there. Only a Saint Stone Vein of a sixth-grade and above could produce fifth-grade Saint Stones... Let alone the surrounding area of Mound Hill City, even the most powerful City Governor’s Estate in Mound Hill City was also only an eight-rated force that had an eighth-grade Saint Stone Vein. Even that large sect that ruled the eighteen cities, including Mound Hill City, was also only a seven-rated force that had a seven-rated Saint Stone Vein. The fact that there were sixth-grade Saint Stones being produced in Mound Hill City sometimes was already astonishing enough. The fifth-grade Saint Stone basically could not be found at all. “That’s right! Why did I forget about this? I can just infuse my Spiritual Energy into the Saint Token that contains the Saint Grade Martial Tactic and then read the contents inside!” A lightbulb went off in David Bishop’s mind. Now, he reminisced about the unique power of his own Spiritual Energy. When an ordinary Martial or Dao Cultivator obtained a corresponding Saint Token — be it a Saint Grade Martial Tactic or a Saint Grade Dao Tactic — they would still need to read the message it contained inside layer by layer. Only after they had cultivated the Saint Grade Martial Tactic to a certain level could they continue reading the message. Otherwise, they would not be able to read the message that came after at all. However, David Bishop was different. That time, when he had read the Saint Token that contained the Saint Grade Martial Tactic Colossal Aerolite Arrow, he only needed a second to memorize the entire message in his brain. He only found out later on that this was not something that other ordinary Martial or Dao Cultivators could do. “I think it’s better for me to join the auction fair. By that time, no matter who’s the one who successfully bids for the Saint Grade Martial Tactic, I can just offer 100 pieces of eighth-grade Saint Stones to take a quick read of its contents for a second. I’m sure nobody would reject this offer, would they?” David Bishop smiled as he flashed a dazzling grin. He only needed a moment to download all of the messages contained in the Saint Grade Martial Tactic into his mind. “I finally can cultivate the defense technique from the Saint Grade Martial Tactic!” David Bishop was delighted. With a joyful heart, David Bishop wandered around Mound Hill City a few rounds and in the end, he finally came to a halt in front of a magnificent three-story building that occupied a vast space. “The Mystic Art Pavilion!” David Bishop’s gaze was quickly attracted by the large signboard hanging on the building in front. “What is this place?” David Bishop noticed that every story of the three-story building in front was twice the height of the story of an original building, so although it was only three stories high, it was still unusually tall. Standing in front of the Mystic Art Pavilion, David Bishop studied the crowds that entered and left the building. He noticed that some of the people had a special badge pinned on their chests. There were two types of badges in total. One of them was inscribed with a drawing of a saber and sword crossed with each other while the other badge was inscribed with a tilted bottle of pills along with three pills beside it. Under his curiosity, David Bishop entered the building. After he entered, he noticed that there were many people on the first level. These people had one common characteristic, that was, they were here to publish tasks. The tasks that they published were either asking for pills or Saint Weapons. Gradually, David Bishop slowly learned what this Mystic Art Pavilion was. The Mystic Art Pavilion existed in almost every decent city all over Dao Martial Saint Land. As for what it was for, let’s start explaining from the first level of the Mystic Art Pavilion. Everyone was allowed to enter the first level of the Mystic Art Pavilion and once they entered, one could put up the notice for tasks to seek for pills, Saint Weapons, and even Dao Talismans. The staff of the Mystic Art Pavilion would then organize all of the notices and put them on record before sending them over to the second and the third level. The second level of the Mystic Art Pavilion was where the Saint Refinement Masters gathered. There were two types of Saint Refinement Masters. One of them focused on refining pills while the other one focused on refining weapons. In fact, just like in Detroit that David Bishop had been in before, they were either Alchemists or Weapon Craftsmen. The people whom David Bishop saw wearing two different types of badges were all Saint Refinement Masters. The Saint Refinement Masters wearing the badge with the saber and sword carvings were the people focused on the Weapon Refinement Dao while those wearing the badge with the pill bottles and pills carving were the Saint Refinement Masters focused on the Medicine Refinement Dao. “What a pity... I can’t solidify any Weapon or Pill Fire now. Otherwise, I’d be a Saint Refinement Master too! Not only that, I’d be an all-rounder Saint Refinement Master,” David Bishop thought to himself. All of the Saint Refinement Masters entering the Mystic Art Pavilion would go to the second level. In the second level, they would then be able to receive the tasks and complete them to earn Saint Stones. Of course, they could also publish tasks to search for rare materials. These tasks would all be put up on the first level of the Mystic Art Pavilion. Other than putting up tasks, the first level of the Mystic Art Pavilion was also selling many rare materials too.
