Chapter 179: Rank 2 Earth Class Martial Soul
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
In the room, Su Mo was in a bad mood.
He could’ve gotten the map with 40 Lower Spiritual Stones at first, but now it needed more than 200.
Although Su Mo was rich now and had a lot of Spiritual Stones, Spiritual Stones were not easy to acquire.
“F**k!”
Su Mo could not help but for using rough words, and could not wait to kill Yan Qi.
“Little brother Su Mo, why are you so attached to that piece of the map?” Luo Huan asked with a charming smile.
Luo Qianfan looked at Su Mo doubtfully and thought, “Does the map really point to treasure somewhere?”
“I’m determined to obtain the incomplete map!”
Su Mo said, without actually answering Luo Qianfan, then he shouted, “400 Lower Spiritual Stones!”
After that, Su Mo shouted again, “Yan Qi, you can get that piece of the map with a higher price if you like.”
Sure enough, Yan Qi didn’t say a word.
Yan Qi just wanted Su Mo to lose money. Now, he had achieved his goal and stopped bidding.
If he continued bidding up and Su Mo stopped, he would waste 400 Spiritual Stones to buy the useless and incomplete map, which was not what he wanted.
The men who were bidding up before also did not follow to offer prices after Su Mo bid 400 Lower Spiritual Stones for the incomplete map.
The price of 400 Lower Spiritual Stones was too high!
Maybe the incomplete map pointed to treasures somewhere, but that piece of the map was obviously useless. Otherwise, Sky-sea Pavilion would be hunting for the treasures instead of auctioning the map.
Everyone was obviously clear about this.
“400 Lower Spiritual Stones once!”
“400 Lower Spiritual Stones twice!”
“400 Lower Spiritual Stones last calling! Deal. Congratulations to the distinguished guest in Room 10, you win the item!”
The elder shouted gleefully.
After a short time, a maid delivered the incomplete map to the room.
Su Mo got the map with 400 Spiritual Stones.
Luo Qianfan and Luo Huan went for a look and lost interest in it soon.
It really was an incomplete map, and it was impossible to find the treasure using the map.
Su Mo took a casual look and confirmed that the map and the one in his hand were one.

However, he did not have enough time to study carefully now.
Then the auction continued.
“The third auction item is a Realm-breaking Pill. Everyone knows its efficacy. It can increase the probability of breaking through the bottleneck of the realm to a martial artist of the Spiritual Martial Realm by 30%.
“The initial bidding price of Realm-breaking Pill is 200 Lower Spiritual Stones. Every new bid must be increased by no less than 50 Lower Spiritual Stones.”
All people in the Auction Room were excited after the elder finished his words. It was unusual that there was an elixir which could improve the probability of success.
Many martial artists stopped at their realms for several years. Given a Realm-breaking Pill, the probability of improving one’s cultivation by one level would be increased greatly.
Luo Qianfan was greatly interested in the elixir as well.
“500 Lower Spiritual Stones!” Luo Qianfan bid first.
CLANG!
Everyone was stunned. The price was like a pot of cold water, and the light their minds went out.
“Who’s that? It’s foolhardy to bid such a high price.”
“600 Lower Spiritual Stones!” After a short while, someone bid.
“650 Lower Spiritual Stones!”
“1,000 Lower Spiritual Stones!” Luo Qianfan shouted. He had added 350 Spiritual Stones at one go.
“1,100 Lower Spiritual Stones!” someone continued bidding.
Finally, Luo Qianfan obtained the Realm-breaking Pill.
Many people were not reconciled at all, but they did not have enough wealth to compare with Luo Qianfan.
Su Mo did not bid, because he had a Devouring Martial Spirit, which could cultivate rapidly. He could break through the realm easily with enough blood essence.
Su Mo looked at Luo Qianfan and thought, “His speed of cultivation isn’t slower than mine.”
Luo Qianfan’s cultivation had reached the Peak Lv 4 Spiritual Martial Realm, not far from Lv 5.
Su Mo remembered that Luo Qianfan’s Martial Soul was just Rank 8 Human Class, however, his speed of cultivation was absolutely faster than any other martial artists who also had Martial Soul of Rank 8 Human Class.
As the auction continued, many kinds of treasures bewildered their eyes.
However, Su Mo did not bid anymore.
He did not lack anything except Beast Souls.
He prepared to buy a batch of Beast Souls from Sky-sea Pavilion after the end of auction.

However, Luo Huan and Luo Qianfan bought something good. Especially Luo Huan, who bought an elegant jade bracelet with more than 1,000 Spiritual Stones.
This jade bracelet could store a certain amount of Genuine Qi to supplement the lack of, during a fighting. It was really a wonderful thing.
Luo Huan’s real cultivation was too high to be known by Su Mo.
But Su Mo confirmed that Luo Huan was a martial artist who was not at the True Spirit Realm, but at Lv 8 or Lv 9 Spiritual Martial Realm.
The auction would be end soon.
Su Mo had not seen the things that he needed.
“No. 79 auction item is coming!”
After the elder spoke, a maid brought another auction item out and placed it on the center auction block.
This auction item was a scroll.
“This is a post-archean martial skill named Mountain-cutting Sabermanship which is of Upper Lv 2. However, this technique is incomplete, there should have been five movements, but now there are only two movements left over.”
The elder introduced it in detail, “Still, even with only two movements left, the technique is more powerful than other common Upper Lv 2 Martial Skill.
“The initial bidding price of this technique is 500 Spiritual Stones. Every new bid must be increased by no less than 100 Spiritual Stones.”
All the people in the Auction Room were excited again after the elder finished his words.
“Gosh! It’s the post-archean martial skill of Upper Lv 2!”
“I’m sure to get it!”
“I’m willing to get the technique with all my wealth. Once I get it, my strength must be increased sharply by exercising the technique. Then there’s no need to worry about Spiritual Stones.”
The post-archean martial skill excited everyone.
In the private room where Yan Qi stayed, a sharp light in Yan Ba’s eyes flashed by. As a swordsman, he was determined to get the technique!
“600 Spiritual Stones!” Yan Ba shouted.
“700 Spiritual Stones!”
“…”
“1,500 Spiritual Stones!”
“1,800 Spiritual Stones!”
The whole Auction Room was extremely noisy, lots of people wanted to get the martial arts technique.
Many people gave up bidding helplessly when the price reached 2,000. They could not afford it.
Finally, there was only Yan Ba and Xiang Bo that continued to bid.
“2,200 Lower Spiritual Stones!”
Yan Ba shouted with an unreadable face.
“2,300 Lower Spiritual Stones!”
Xiang Bo looked at Yan Ba’s room and shouted coldly, “Yan Ba, the technique will be mine, you can forget it.”
Yan Ba frowned, thought for a while and chuckled, “It’s you! My defeated opponent from the Scorching Sun Sect!”
“You…!”
Xiang Bo raged, however, he could not refute the truth.
“2,400 Lower Spiritual Stones!” Yan Ba bid continually.
“2,500 Spiritual Stones!” Xiang Bo got exasperated but continued to bid reluctantly.
“3,500 Lower Spiritual Stones!”
Yan Ba suddenly increased his bid by 1,000 Lower Spiritual Stones at one go.
“Damn it!”
In the room, Xiang Bo raged and shattered the sandalwood table with one palm.
He was not well-off recently. 3,500 Lower Spiritual Stones had exceeded his bottom line.
In the end, Yan Ba bought Mountain-cutting Sabermanship.
“Here comes the final treasure of this auction!”
The elder raised his voice suddenly.
A maid stepped on the auction block again, this time with a light-blue crystal in her tray.
The elder took up the crystal in his hand and shouted, “The crystal in my hand is a High-class Soul-sealing Crystal, and within it is sealed a martial artist’s Martial Soul of Rank 2 Earth Class!
“The master of the Martial Soul of the Rank 2 Earth Class was a genius of the True Spirit Realm who had comprehended the saber will during his lifetime. If someone obtains this Soul-sealing Crystal and feels the saber will in it, he may have a chance to comprehend the saber will in the future.”
The elder’s words just as a bomb thrown into the peaceful water.
People of the whole Auction Room were more excited than ever before.
“What? Martial Soul of the Rank 2 Earth Class?”
“Gosh! We have the chance to comprehend the saber will!”
“How is it possible? There’s such a thing!”
“…”
Everyone in the Auction Room stood up excitedly with greed in their eyes.
Su Mo also stood up, he stared at the Soul-sealing Crystal in the elder’s hand with rapid breath.
Su Mo’s attention was not on the saber will, but on the Martial Soul.
Rank 2 Earth Class Martial Soul?
If he devoured the Martial Soul, could his Devouring Martial Spirit advance to the Earth Class?

NOVA INTERIT.US
It's 2063, and the town along with much of the nation are in disarray. The decay started years before the Great Event. Our town still had hope thanks to the five families, who'd created a blockchain based water distribution system for the locals, a valuable secret hidden from the Global Water Commission and their network of mercenaries. Earlier in the mid-2040's, right after the state secessions of Idaho, Montana, and Texas, the Global Council of Water Commissioners made their deals and moved into towns throughout the country. They called it "the integration." The Commission and their contractors integrated with municipal water departments, using their organized network to invade like parasites on local services. It all coincided with the 29th Amendment to the United States Constitution, later referred to as the Regional Trident Plan. Nova is a story about survival, power structures, the turning of relationships, and the networking between people and the systems to which they belong. It’s about A.I. blockchain possibility, and its potential for human betterment versus our detriment. It’s about the question of whether or not we need to be saved from ourselves, and by who or what? The Great Event at the end of the first chapter might just be what actually saves us. The epilogue will take place in 2517. This scene is fully sketched and the full arc of the novel is set. I expect to finish Nova Interitus by summer of 2023. This is realist hard-sci-fi dystopian fiction. I hope you find Nova to be a challenging and consuming story. This is not something I planned to write. It all came to me in a dream and I haven't been able to stop writing it. This Royal Road posting is basically a beta test with chapters and drafts to get some feedback and see if there's any readership for this narrative. For the full experience read Nova on Substack. I will be narrating a podcast version later this year there. https://novainteritus.substack.com/
