Chapter 095: Breakthrough, Beyond Six Paths Level!
Chapter 095: Breakthrough, Beyond Six Paths Level!
The auction for consigned items takes place in the auction section of the livestream room. Here, each participant can only see the bids made by others, without any chatting. If there is no bid for a full three minutes, the auction ends.
This auction does not have an auctioneer; the timing of the auction is determined by the consignor.
[Second Mizukage: Everyone, I'm about to start the auction!]
[Fourth Raikage: Go ahead!]
[Tsunade: Let's begin!]
[Mei Terumī: Start now!]
[Third Tsuchikage: Hurry up and start!]
The auction begins!
The starting price is set by the Golden List Livestream Room. The starting price for the Water Movement Talisman is 100 gold coins, which is neither too high nor too low.
Considering the value of the Water Movement Talisman, it's realistically worth around 500 gold coins, and it wouldn't sell for much more than that.
[Kisame Hoshigaki: 170 gold coins]
[Fourth Raikage: 200 gold coins]
[Tsunade: 300 gold coins]
One ninja after another placed their bids, but fewer people continued bidding later on. This is because the Water Movement Talisman's utility is limited; only a few truly need it. The leaders of the major ninja villages were bidding more for the sake of their village's reserves rather than actually wanting to purchase it.
[Daimyō of the Land of Water: 520 gold coins]
The Daimyō of the Land of Water is also a ninja. In a place like the ninja world, it's normal for a Daimyō to practice some ninjutsu, though their strength is usually negligible—about the level of the weakest Genin. However, they can still enter the livestream room and participate in auctions.
As the leader of a nation, the Daimyō has vast resources. Obtaining treasures and converting them into gold coins to amass wealth in a short time is not a problem for him. Spending 520 gold coins is insignificant to the Daimyō of the Land of Water.
The other bidders didn't continue competing after that.
Of course, no one really fears the Daimyō in the ninja world. While ninjas nominally respect the Daimyō and follow his orders on significant matters, no powerful ninja would truly regard the Daimyō with much importance.
But the Water Movement Talisman is quite ordinary—not a particularly valuable treasure. If it were a resurrection item, everyone would be fiercely competing for it.
In the end, the Water Movement Talisman was won by the Daimyō of the Land of Water for 520 gold coins.
Golden List Livestream Room.
[Second Mizukage: @Mei Terumī, Fifth Mizukage, please start a livestream later. I'll gift you the 520 gold coins. In the future, if there's a valuable auction item, go ahead and bid for it! This is the best I can do for Kirigakure.]
[Mei Terumī: Thank you, Lord Second Mizukage!]
Since 24 hours have passed since the rewards from the ninjutsu rankings were distributed, not many people are consigning items for auction at this time. However, as future rankings rewards are distributed to the personal warehouses of each recipient, many who don't want their rewards will likely consign them for auction.
When that time comes, there will be more items up for consignment!
In any case, with this consignment feature, many ninjas won't waste the rewards they receive. Those who didn't make the rankings can still purchase rewards from the Golden List if they have enough money, obtaining treasures that suit them.
Currently, a large number of items recognized by the Golden List in the ninja world have been converted into gold coins and entered into the Golden List.
"Since the Golden List is purchasing a large quantity of items from the ninja world, it might one day exhaust the resources here and then disappear!" Ye Tian speculated.
Of course, the Golden List is unlikely to leave anytime soon.
But if it does leave one day, Ye Tian might have the opportunity to leave with it. By then, with his strength, he could develop a special space-time secret technique to pursue the Golden List when it departs.
"Master, should we convert some items into gold coins?" asked Kumoko.
Ye Tian shook his head. "No need. The items being consigned for auction are rather ordinary. There are very few items that would be useful for those at the Six Paths level, so it's not worth participating."
"Oh!" Kumoko nodded slightly.
Before long, the Golden List Livestream Room announced the timing for the next rankings.
[In one year, the next rankings will be announced!]
[Kakashi: Huh, the announcement time has been moved up again. I thought it would take two years!]
[Tsunade: It must be due to the livestream room's version update. The refresh will now only take one year, which is good news for us. After all, our lifespans are limited. If the intervals were one and a half years, two years, and then three to five years, the waiting time would become too long!]
[Madara Uchiha: Once a year is perfect. I like it—this way, the rewards will keep piling up!]
Soon, many people started live streaming, and numerous deceased ninjas began gifting gold coins to these streamers, using this method to contribute to their villages.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, five days had passed.
At this point, the livestream room was completely sealed off and could no longer be accessed. The Golden List Livestream Room was now out of sight.
The following two days were designated as rest days.
"Master, I've gathered all the materials!"
Rongrong approached Ye Tian, bringing with her a large collection of materials.
"Good. I'll refine some pills and set up an array for you. You should focus on practicing the secret technique I taught you. Tomorrow at this time, you can begin refining the core of the Purple-Eyed Heart Fox and strive to awaken its bloodline!"
Ye Tian instructed.
"Master, I understand!" Rongrong nodded slightly.
Rongrong then went to the adjacent room to begin her cultivation, while Ye Tian focused on refining some pills for her and setting up a formation specifically designed to assist in the awakening of the Purple-Eyed Heart Fox bloodline.
The next day, Ye Tian had everything ready. All that remained was for Rongrong to consume the pills and refine the Purple-Eyed Fox bloodline.
"Third Sister, don't be nervous, you can do it!" Honghong encouraged.
"Yes, Third Sister, you will definitely succeed!" Yaya also chimed in.
Kumoko, with her cute, mischievous eyes, added in a childish voice, "Rongrong Sis, you can do it!"
"Thank you, Big Sis, I'm going now!" Rongrong said, taking the pills Ye Tian had prepared. After activating the formation, she sat cross-legged in the center, took out the core of the Purple-Eyed Heart Fox, and swallowed all the pills in one gulp, beginning the refinement process.
In the next moment, countless purple lights emerged from Rongrong's body, enveloping her completely. Her figure was hidden within, but an overwhelming aura began to permeate the room, a presence that belonged to the Purple-Eyed Heart Fox, causing Honghong and Yaya to feel a deep shock.
"What a terrifying fox aura! It's even more frightening than that of the Nine-Tailed Immortal Fox. If Rongrong successfully awakens this bloodline, her power might surpass all of ours in an instant!" Honghong exclaimed.
"It's no wonder the Golden List gifted her the core of the Purple-Eyed Heart Fox. Such a bloodline doesn't exist anywhere in the Shinobi World," Ye Tian murmured.
However, he knew that without his help, Rongrong's refinement of the Purple-Eyed Heart Fox core would have merely increased her strength slightly, without leading to the full awakening of the bloodline. But now, there was a high probability that she could successfully awaken it.
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, three days had gone by. The purple light surrounding Rongrong began to fade, indicating that the power within the Purple-Eyed Heart Fox core was nearly exhausted.
Suddenly, a pair of hands tore through the remaining purple light, and a figure stepped out.
Rongrong emerged, her aura now exuding an intimidating pressure. Her eyes had turned purple, and a mere glance from them could plunge anyone into a state of mental collapse.
Moreover, Ye Tian sensed a unique power emanating from her—something akin to a special mental force, but not exactly the same.
"It's heart force!" Ye Tian deduced.
Heart force is a unique power, often mentioned in myths, where legendary figures like Houyi were said to excel in its use. The reach of heart force extends further than mental power; as vast as one's heart is, so too is the expanse of their power.
If one's heart force is strong enough, they could shoot an arrow across realms to strike down an opponent. Rongrong's heart force, however, could even control others' mental worlds, peering into the thoughts of their inner hearts. In the presence of a strong heart force user, weaker individuals wouldn't even have the privilege of hiding their secrets.
"Third Sister, your strength is incredible!" Honghong exclaimed in surprise.
"Big Sis, I've successfully awakened the Purple-Eyed Heart Fox bloodline!" Rongrong said joyfully.
"What abilities does the Purple-Eyed Heart Fox bloodline have? Tell us!" Yaya asked curiously.
"Yes, please tell us," Ye Tian added, clearly interested as well.
Rongrong began to explain, "Master, Big Sisters, Kumoko, my Purple-Eyed Heart Fox bloodline grants me immensely powerful heart force. With it, I can peer into others' inner worlds and thoughts. It can be imbued into any object, unleashing tremendous power, and can even easily break through any illusions or soul-related mental techniques. Moreover, the Purple-Eyed Heart Fox has transformed my eyes into the Purple-Eyed Divine Pupil, which is many times stronger than the Fox Spirit Eye. Among its abilities is the 'Purple-Eyed Soul Destruction Technique,' which can directly annihilate an enemy's soul."
"Heart force, peering into inner worlds? Rongrong Sis, I'm thinking of something right now—can you see what it is?" Kumoko asked.
"Sure!" Rongrong responded. She activated her Purple-Eyed Divine Pupil, and with a flash of purple light, her heart force immediately probed into Kumoko's mind.
If it were an ordinary person, she wouldn't even need to activate the Purple-Eyed Divine Pupil, but Kumoko was too powerful; relying solely on heart force wouldn't be enough, so she had to use her Purple-Eyed Divine Pupil.
In that instant, it was as if Kumoko's thoughts were completely laid bare.
Rongrong blushed and said, "Kumoko, you were just thinking about doing something with Master. Hmph, you really have no shame!"
