Chapter 1477  Mirror of Barren Truth

The price increase throughout the day had been gradual but significant. However, from this point it would slow down for certain, increasing by about 2000 Saint spirit stones at the most in a day.

Alex told the elders to bid without stopping and they did.

The item being sold was good. A Gauntlet with not one built-in technique, but three was certainly not something one could come by every day. As such, everyone bid on it.

They stopped bidding as the bidding continued, and past 4000 Saint spirit stones, no one truly wished to continue for longer. Alex, however, kept on, and at 4400, double the starting price of the gauntlet, he got it.

He smiled a bit, knowing that he had received something that was good, and waited for the next set of products to be brought out.

Instead of a product being brought out, the next thing that came out was a person. A woman with beautiful blue hair in a black dress. Her figure looked better than the current auctioneer too, more curvier. However, she wasn\'t as beautiful.

She introduced herself to everyone as the next auctioneer for the day while the first woman, Hu Biaolin, walked away from the stage, promising to return at a later date.

"Do the auctioneer keep changing?" Alex asked.

"They switch around every day for the entire month," the woman in the room answered. There are 7 of them, so there should be one for each day of the week."

"I see," Alex said and waited for the girl to introduce the next set of items.

The first item she brought out was a pendant with the ability to calm a person\'s spirit and defend them against another spiritual attack.

Alex checked the pendant around a bit and bid for it. However, when it became too expensive to bid, he stopped. There was no point in getting these, he thought.

He knew how they were made, so after a bit of practice, he could make one himself.

A few more normal items were sold after that. Pills, inks, formation plates, etc. Alex didn\'t find much attraction by any of the items. He did bid on a few but that was only for the sake of bidding.

He didn\'t receive them at all. It was only halfway through the day that he found another item that he wanted as desperately as he did the Dragonheart Gauntlet.

The item was an artifact named the Mirror of Barren Truth. It was apparently a very old artifact, made in times that no one knew about.

The woman started explaining the details of the artifact, and Alex looked at it, moving the mirror around his hand, checking the various things he could ascertain from it.

The Mirror of Barren Truth was an item that needed prep work. types of attacks thrown at it, so long as the energy inside of it was stronger than that of the attack, it would reflect the attack directly One had to fill the mirror with Energy in advance in one way or another and prepare it.

Once prepared, the mirror had the ability to reflect any and all types of attacks thrown at it, so long as the energy inside of it was stronger than that of the attack, it would reflect the attack directly at the one that launched it in the first place.

The most surprising part about that was the fact that it worked based on the Intent of the attack. As such, the reflected attack would always return to the one who intended for the attack to be fired.

"So even if it was an attack from a formation, it can reflect?" Alex asked curiously. That seemed to be true and was in a way quite busted.

"This seems incredible," Liang Shufen said softly. "I wonder why this item is being sold this early. Or are we perhaps missing something?"

Alex thought for a moment. "There are definitely flaws to the item," he said. "Ones that are quite glaring as well."

"What sort of flaws?" Liang Shufen asked.

"Imagine someone in the Saint Condensation rank finds this artifact and prepares it with his energy," Alex said. "That would have no effect on a real fight if his opponent happens to be stronger than him. After all, the item is only capable of reflecting attacks that are just as strong as the energy that was put into it."

"Oh, I thought of that," Elder Liang said. "But I was thinking of it more so in regards to myself. As someone in the Saint Transformation realm, especially since I have Immortal Qi… a bit of it at least, I could prepare it to protect me from any and all attack."

Alex\'s eyes widened slightly in surprise. "I… I hadn\'t thought of that," he said. That was true, wasn\'t it? With Immortal Qi, the mirror would end up becoming the greatest defensive item, even if it was for a single defense.

"Then it is probably because it is a single-use artifact in every battle that it is being sold this early. You also do need to prepare it for a while, so that\'s not very good, is it?" he asked.

"I wonder how the reflection works," Elder Yao spoke, after remaining quiet for a bit. "I wonder if it reflects using the Dao or using some other mechanism."

"Hmm, I can\'t feel the Dao of Reflection coming from the item," Alex said softly.

"Me neither," the old woman said. "But it is possible that this image is not capable of replicating Dao\'s aura. If it could, the Boundless Enlightenment domain would end up meaningless.

"True," Alex said. "I assume you do not want this mirror though."

The old woman shook her head. She had the Dao of Reflection to help her with that.

"Very well then," Alex said. "Let me get it. Bid for it, however high it may go."

The bidding started at 3000 Saint spirit stones, and it went high. It ended at 8300 Saint Spirit Stones, with Alex as the new owner.
