Chapter 184 Auction
"How can I sell the Foundation Establishment Pill?"
"The lowest grade is five thousand spiritual stones, the middle grade is ten thousand spiritual stones, the upper grade is twenty thousand spiritual stones, and the top grade is fifty thousand spiritual stones!"
"Which one do the guests need?"
Qingyufang City, in the Alchemy Building, in front of the counter.
Yan Changfeng looked at the smiling shopkeeper and then at the dazzling array of jade bottles on the cabinet, hesitating in his heart.
Behind him, there were several people, mostly old or middle-aged, but there were also two or three young men and women.
They are the elders and descendants of the Yan family.
At this moment, the two or three young men couldn't hold themselves back.
"The Foundation Establishment Pill is so cheap?"
"In the past, it was a low-quality foundation-building pill that cost ten thousand spirit stones!"
"Now the low-grade ones are only 5,000 yuan. The price has been discounted by more than half."
"The ultimate foundation-building pill, is there really such a thing?"
"Although the Foundation Establishment Pill is a second-level pill, even a third-level alchemist may not be able to produce the best Foundation Establishment Pill, right?"
"I heard that the best foundation-building elixir has extraordinary fortune and can build a perfect foundation. There is hope for a golden elixir avenue in the future."
"We only sold 50,000 spirit stones. If we buy one and give it back to Grandpa, wouldn't our Yan family have another foundation-building ancestor?"
"Stop talking nonsense..."
Several juniors talked a lot, their eyes shining.
However, several old men looked serious and lowered their voices and said to Yan Changfeng: "Changfeng, the first priority of the family now is to help you form a pill. Big brother only needs a low-quality Foundation Building Pill. The remaining spirit stones will be used to help you capture the golden elixir technique and elixir-forming spiritual objects, as well as what you need for practice."
The words of several elders made Yan Changfeng feel his shoulders sink again.
The general trend is coming like a tidal wave.
In today's Liang Kingdom, the "Ancestor of the Foundation Establishment" is no longer able to suppress one party. He has to become a major Jindan cultivator to have some say.
As the original foundation-building force, the Yan family had a strong judgment on the situation and unanimously decided to seize the opportunity of the times and take advantage of the storm to seize the advantage and be ahead of others in this "big change".
Otherwise, you will be surpassed by others and eliminated by the times!
For this reason, they directly emptied their wealth and even did not hesitate to mine the spiritual veins of Hongfeng Mountain to collect a large amount of spiritual stones to participate in this auction.
However, the auction had not yet begun, and they were dazzled by the various shops in the market.
Spiritual rice, elixirs, magic weapons, talismans, all kinds of things needed for practice and fighting are all available. They are all high-quality products, and the prices are extremely low. It can be said that they are half sold and half given away, which makes people unable to take their eyes away.
"No wonder Liang Guoxiu is so crazy during this period."
"With such a spiritual object and such a price, who wouldn't be crazy?"
"Comparing the three cases, the contrast is even greater. Everyone is afraid that this is a dream and they will miss it once they wake up, so they leave no room for it and rush to buy it like crazy."
Yan Changfeng sighed secretly, then stepped forward to the shopkeeper and said, "I want a low-grade foundation-building pill."
"Inferior?"
Several elders were startled and hurried forward: "No need, no need, just inferior quality."
When the shopkeeper heard this, he smiled: "Sorry, we don't have any inferior elixirs for sale. The worst is inferior."
"this……"
Everyone was startled and looked stunned.
The shopkeeper smiled and said calmly: "Don't worry, everyone, at the auction, the price of Jindan Kung Fu will not be too high, or the price of all the Kung Fu inheritance will not be too high. It is only added to the auction to increase the attraction. Qingyu Mountain is not There is no intention to profit from this, and..."
The shopkeeper looked at Yan Changfeng: "After the auction, Qingyu Mountain and other major cities will sell the Golden Pill Technique directly, and the price will not be much higher than the Foundation Establishment Pill."
"this……"
Everyone was even more shocked when they heard this.
Only Yan Changfeng came back to his senses in time and looked at the shopkeeper in surprise: "That pill-forming spiritual object..."
"Spiritual objects have different techniques, so the price is difficult to reduce."
The shopkeeper shook his head, causing Yan Changfeng's eyes to dim.
At this time, he changed the topic again.
"However, we, Qingyu Mountain, are already studying the method of forming the Five Elements Golden Pill, and are doing our best to cultivate the materials required for the Five Elements Golden Pill in Yaowang Valley. They should be able to launch it in a few years. By then, the difficulty of forming the Pill will be greatly reduced."
"Five Elements Knot Golden Pill!"
"several years……"
Yan Changfeng's eyes narrowed and he looked at the shopkeeper in surprise, then he clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for the reminder, sir. Yan Changfeng is grateful!"
It was as if he had regarded the other party as a senior member of Qingyu Mountain.
However……
"Sir, I'm just a small shopkeeper of the Alchemy House."
The shopkeeper shook his head: "This is what I was asked to say by the superiors. It is an open secret, not an inside information. You don't have to be polite to me. By the way, do you still want this Foundation Establishment Pill?"
"..."
"Have one!"
After a while, the Yan family left the Qingyu Alchemy Building with mixed emotions and walked towards the auction venue.
At this time, people were already coming and going in Qingyufang City, and I don’t know how many cultivators gathered there.
Yan Changfeng also saw many familiar faces, but everyone tacitly agreed not to say hello.
Soon, we arrived at the venue, an open-air venue.
"For foundation building and cultivation, ten thousand spirit stones, one of the two can enter!"
"At the auction, the one with the highest price wins. Those who use their power to suppress others will be punished with the death penalty if considered a serious crime!"
Although it is an open-air venue, not everyone can enter, unless their cultivation level is high enough and they have enough cultivation spirit stones.
Yan Changfeng had sufficient cultivation and spiritual stones, so he asked everyone in the Yan family to wait outside while he entered the stage.
The others were just as average, and soon the four seats were filled with people, just waiting for the main character to show up and start the show.
Not long after waiting, I saw a person flying over. He was a middle-aged Taoist, broad and fat, with a rather wealthy appearance.
It turned out to be...
"My dear, Bai Yunzi, thanks to the Dharma King's respect, I am hosting this auction."
Bai Yunzi fell on the stage and held his hands in all directions: "Everyone must be aware of the rules, so I won't go into details. I also hope that all fellow Taoists will know what they are and don't break the rules of Qingyu Mountain."
After saying that, he raised his hand and shouted: "The first item for sale is the Golden Pill Kung Fu Chapter!"
"The Golden Elixir Technique has thirty-six methods and seventy-two chapters, totaling one hundred and eight methods!"
"It includes three lineages, as well as martial arts and Taoism, the new cultivation method pioneered by the Dharma King!"
"Basically, all the exercises practiced by Liang Guo cultivators can be found in it. If you practice step by step, you will have the hope of golden elixir."
"This item is not subject to bidding. Everyone here can buy it. The complete technique has 100,000 spiritual stones, and the remaining part has inherited 10,000 spiritual stones!"
Bai Yunzi looked at everyone with a smile: "If you fellow Taoists are in need, please use this jade slip to select one. After the auction, go to the Qingyu Library and use this jade slip to pay the spirit stone and you will receive the inheritance of the technique."
After saying that, he swept his sleeves and robe, and the aura flew out, turning into jade slips and falling in front of everyone.
"this……"
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Although they had received "inside information" and knew that Qingyu Mountain's pricing for the inheritance of martial arts was extremely low, they did not expect it to be so low.
A complete golden elixir technique only requires 100,000 spirit stones?
One hundred thousand spiritual stones, what is the concept?
In the past, the Zhou family in Qingfeng Mountain was the strongest in the late stage of foundation building, and each had a fortune of millions of spiritual stones.
Among those who dare to ask for the golden elixir technique, which one does not have an ancestor who established the foundation of Dzogchen?
Not to mention hundreds of thousands, they can get it from millions or even tens of millions.
By setting the price so low, Qingyu Mountain is doing charity?
As soon as this idea appeared, everyone recalled all the changes in Liang Guoxiu's world during this period, and they suddenly became excited.
Doing good deeds?
Or maybe.
But it is by no means the main reason.
What on earth was King Shi Fa planning to promote the development of the Liang Kingdom’s cultivation world so vigorously?
Foundation building is understandable.
But the golden elixir...
He is nothing more than a golden elixir!
If the golden elixir is so popular, what good will it do to him?
Isn't he afraid that some evildoer will emerge from nowhere, become a Nascent Soul, and overthrow him?
Well, he is indeed not afraid. So many golden elixirs in the three sects have now been wiped out. The remaining ones have been captured alive by him, controlled by spells, and turned into his hawks and lackeys, driven by his orders.
Even Nascent Soul may not be his opponent.
It seems that he wants to cultivate a large number of golden elixirs to increase his strength and fight against Tianshu Sect?
Everyone can only come up with this answer.
Become a golden elixir and become cannon fodder!
very dangerous.
But it does not prevent everyone from moving.
The golden elixir technique cannot be missed.
Although Qingyu Mountain has said that in the future, major cities and towns will directly sell the exercises, but who knows when "then" will be?
Tianshu Sect is not destroyed yet!
Although the King of Stone is strong, there seems to be nothing he can do against the Tianshu Formation.
Things are unpredictable, and there is no guarantee that one day the Tianshu Sect will come back.
At that time, Liang Guo's boundary building will change again.
Although everyone doesn't care who is in the sky above their heads, obviously you can't expect that Tianshu Sect will sell the golden elixir technique and various spiritual objects at such a low price.
Therefore, the exercises must be bought, and the next spiritual objects must be snapped up.
If you miss this village, you won’t have this store.
Everyone took action one after another to purchase the inheritance of skills.
Bai Yunzi didn't say much, and after a while he launched the second lot.
"The second auction item is the inheritance of magic!"
"Cultivation of immortality is a merit, fighting protectors is a technique!"
"The inheritance of magic, the battle of magic."
"These include martial arts scriptures, Taoist scriptures, thunder methods, sword techniques, Dharma kings and great virtues, and spread the Dharma to the world."
"This item is still not subject to bidding. Everyone here can buy it. The complete method, one hundred thousand spiritual stones, and the fragmentary inheritance, ten thousand spiritual stones!"
Bai Yunzi looked at the crowd: "Fellow Taoists, please come!"
"..."
"..."
"..."
Everyone was silent, then lowered their heads and silently checked the jade slips to buy their favorite method.
Although the Dharma King is ruling the world now, the calamity cultivators are basically extinct, and there are few wars in the cultivator world, but the absence of it now does not mean that there will be none in the future.
If the Tianshu Sect returns and the Liang Kingdom returns to its original appearance, fighting and fighting will definitely be inevitable.
Even if Tianshu does not return, who can guarantee that the situation in Liang will never change.
The method of protecting the Tao and the art of fighting.
You don’t have to use it, but you can’t live without it!
This is true for ordinary cultivators, not to mention those war cultivators who rely on fighting to make a living.
"Golden Core Sword Technique, Golden Core Sword Technique!"
"I never thought that I, Zhuo Bufan, would be able to obtain a Golden Elixir Sword Art in my lifetime!"
"Thunder Technique Sutra is easy to find for Qi training and foundation building, but golden elixir is extremely rare to find. Now..."
"The Dharma King is merciful, the Dharma King is merciful!"
All the warrior cultivators, especially those who were obsessed with swordsmanship, could hardly help but shed tears when they looked at the many techniques listed on the jade slips.
"Fellow Taoists, please be patient!"
Bai Yunzi smiled and said: "No matter the martial arts, there is an additional article on how to make money for the altar."
"As long as those who practice it have magic power, they can practice this method and condense their magic power into magic money."
"Dharma money is as magical as spiritual stones, but it cannot be stored and must be placed in the altar."
"Fellow Daoists can condense magic money and trade with Qingyu Mountain. The exchange rate between magic money and spirit stones can be checked in major shops."
When these words came out, everyone in the room was shocked.
"Magic money?"
"Spirit stones?"
"This..."
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
At the same time, outside the venue.
"Wow!"
"Even the method of condensing magic power has been figured out?"
"This is obviously to take the Liang Kingdom cultivation world, the millions of cultivators should be inexhaustible and inexhaustible spirit stone mines!"
Outside the venue, in the crowd, the words of Zhen Lao again startled Xiao Miao in his mind.
"Magic power condenses into objects?"
Xiao Miao was puzzled: "What is that?"
"What else could it be?"
Zhen Lao enlightened: "The spiritual energy of spirit stones can be absorbed by cultivators to practice magic power, so can the cultivator's magic power be condensed into spirit stones?"
"This..."
Xiao Miao was stunned: "Logically speaking, it should be possible, right?"
"In theory, it is indeed feasible!"
Zhen Lao said in a deep voice: "But do you know why no sect has ever done this?"
Xiao Miao was puzzled: "Why."
"Because it doesn't work!"
Zhen Lao explained: "Practicing magic power from spirit stones is a level of consumption, and practicing magic power into spirit stones is another level of consumption. After two levels of consumption, the input and output are completely disproportionate."
"In addition, the mana of cultivators is not endless for no reason. Either absorbing the spiritual energy of spirit stones or eating spiritual rice and spiritual pills, it must consume resources. , can replenish mana. "
"Therefore, using mana to condense spirit stones is a very stupid thing. It is not enough to make ends meet, and the loss outweighs the gain. The condensed spirit stones are also difficult to preserve, which is completely thankless. "
This made Xiao Miao stunned: "Then Qingyu Mountain still has to do this?"
"That's the problem!"
Zhen Lao said in a deep voice: "If I guess correctly, that old ghost should have some special means to greatly increase the output of spiritual plants."
"For him, spiritual rice and spiritual pills are extremely low-cost resources. They can be fed to Liangguo cultivators like fodder, allowing them to produce spirit stones like cattle and sheep, oh no, magic money!"
"If others do this business, they will definitely lose all their money. Only he can make a lot of money. "
"What is the origin of this old ghost? Xu Lingjun doesn't seem to have this ability!"
Zhen Lao's words were full of entanglement.
Xiao Miao stood in place, and was also a little absent-minded.
At this time, in the venue, on the high platform
"Condensing magic money requires mana, which will inevitably slow down your cultivation. You can decide for yourself how to choose."
"Now, please take out the third item - the third-level inner elixir!"
While speaking, Bai Yunzi swept his sleeves and saw a bright light, and ten jade plates appeared, on which were inner elixirs of various shapes and colors.
"A month ago, the Dharma King took action, cleared the fields and caves, and killed countless demons in the Ten Thousand Mountains."
"Among them, there are many golden elixir monsters. After killing them, the Dharma King took their inner elixir and refined it by himself, removing the demonic energy from them, leaving only the pure Yuanling. Any cultivator, as long as his cultivation reaches the perfection of foundation building, can refine it, without any danger, and advance to the golden elixir."
"The golden elixir has a lifespan of 500 years!"
"Although this is a fake elixir method, there is no possibility of further advancement in the future, but the lifespan of 500 years is not less at all."
"How to choose, you decide for yourself."
"There are only ten in this auction, and the starting price of each is 5 million spirit stones. Each bid cannot be less than 100,000 spirit stones."
"Now auction the first one, which comes from the golden elixir monster Qingmu Python. It will be twice as effective with half the effort to refine the wood spirit root."
"..."
Bai Yunzi's voice echoed, and there was silence in all directions, and then shock.
"Fake elixir!"
"It's actually a fake elixir!"
One person was startled and called the price directly.
"Six million!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person who bid the price had white hair and looked very old, but his aura was quite extraordinary.
"Six million?"
"He is..."
"Chen Nanfeng, the ancestor of the Chen family!"
"Is this old guy still alive?"
"After the foundation is completed, the life span is only three hundred years. Isn't he more than three hundred years old?"
"This person is a cultivator with wood spirit roots. He practices wood spirit skills. He is best at keeping healthy and rarely fights with others. He has been hiding in the family formation. He has lived to the age of three hundred and fifty-seven without illness or disaster and is still alive!"
"No wonder he jumped up..."
Everyone talked about this person's identity.
But "Chen Nanfeng" didn't care. His eyes were fixed on the inner pill of the green wood dragon on the stage.
That's not an inner pill at all. It's clearly a life span of more than a hundred years.
He has lived for three hundred and fifty-seven years, but the older people get, the more afraid they are of death.
Now the hope of prolonging life is right in front of him. How can he miss it?
Don't talk about the fake elixir method. He can't make progress in the future. He is like this. How can he have a future?
There are thousands of cultivators in the world, how many can achieve golden elixir?
The golden elixir road, the golden elixir road, although it is just the ignorant words of low-level cultivators, it can also reflect the bottom ecology of the cultivation world from the side.
In the past, the three sects ruled the world, not only controlling the golden elixir method and the spiritual objects of elixir formation, but also strictly controlling fake elixir.
After all, the three sects themselves have many disciples, and there are no fewer who have perfected their foundation and have no hope of golden elixir.
It is a spare combat force.
On the day of the battle at Ziyun Mountain, Qingyu Mountain used the inner elixir of the monsters in reserve to turn a batch of perfect foundations into golden elixir, and used them as cannon fodder to attack Ziyun Mountain.
Although it didn't have much effect, the value of fake elixir can also be seen.
Millions of spirit stones are definitely not expensive, because you couldn't buy them even if you had spirit stones before.
"Six million spiritual stones once."
Bai Yunzi ignored Chen Nanfeng's feelings and called out the price unhurriedly.
Sure enough, a second sound was soon heard.
"Seven million spiritual stones!"
"you……!"
Chen Nanfeng gritted his teeth and looked at the bidder.
The man was not afraid at all, he raised his hand and said, "Brother Chen, don't be surprised, this inner elixir... my Bai family also needs it."
"Um!"
On the stage, Bai Yunzi coughed lightly: "Fellow Daoist Chen, have you forgotten the Sapphire Law and the rules of the meeting?"
"Don't dare!!"
As soon as these words came out, Chen Nanfeng suddenly woke up, white hair broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, and he said repeatedly: "This villain was temporarily obsessed and lost his manners. Please don't be offended."
"snort!"
Bai Yunzi snorted coldly, ignored it, and just called out the price: "Seven million spiritual stones once."
Chen Nanfeng could only grit his teeth and said: "Eight million spiritual stones!"
"Eight and a half million spirit stones!"
"..."
Although it was only the first inner elixir, there was still a fierce battle between the parties. In the end, Chen Nanfeng, who was gritting his teeth, won it with 13 million spiritual stones.
The craze of the conference started from this.
All ten inner elixirs were sold for a total price of nearly 200 million spiritual stones.
Bai Yunzi smiled and shouted again: "The next item to be auctioned is the Thunder Fortune Pill!"
"Thunder, the cardinal of heaven and earth, creates all things. This elixir was created by Dharma King himself. It has the ability to prolong life. Foundation-building monks, as long as they have not taken anything that is thunder and life-extending, if they take this elixir, under the golden elixir, they will One pill can extend your life for fifty years, the golden elixir will be reduced by half, and the Nascent Soul will be reduced by another half. You can take up to three pills."
"There are only ten pieces in this auction. The starting price for each piece is 10 million spirit stones. Each increase in price cannot be less than 500,000 spirit stones."
"Fuck!!"
In the venue, among everyone, the leader of the formation shouted again, which echoed in Xiao Miao's mind.
Although it had no effect, Xiao Miao still scratched her pierced ears: "What's wrong?"
"No, it's nothing. Thunder can prolong your life, and you can also make elixirs and make medicine. So the old ghost's thunder skills have reached this level?"
The boss underestimated and said to Xiao Miao again.
"Study hard and see how people draw cakes for others, how they use coercion and inducement to make people work for him. As a monk, you must not only have magic power, but also know how to use your brain, otherwise you will still help others if you are betrayed. He counts money."
"this……"
Xiao Miao was suspicious: "Mr. Zhen, have you ever sold it to others?"
"Of course... you brat, how dare you lie to me!"
"Don't dare."
"..."
"The last item is a pill-forming spiritual object, Xuanyin Spiritual Liquid, with a starting price of 50 million spiritual stones."
"No one bids!"
"Okay, the Xuanyin Spiritual Liquid has leaked. Fellow Taoists, you can come again next time."
After the life-extending elixir, there is the elixir-forming elixir.
An elixir-forming spiritual object that can form true elixirs.
The price is far higher than fake elixirs and life-extending elixirs.
Unfortunately, no one can afford it.
Ten to twenty million spirit stones, the foundation-building forces emptied their fortunes, and they could barely get it out, but fifty or sixty million...
Sorry, not really.
But it doesn't matter, this pill-forming spiritual object was not for sale in the first place.
For things like part-time work, you must have motivation. Without motivation, there will be no efficiency.
Therefore, when dealing with these cultivators, one must have a big stick in one hand, sweet dates in the other, and a carrot hanging in front of them, and let them work through "coercion and inducement".
Material rewards are a must.
In addition to material rewards, their spiritual needs must also be met.
There are many kinds of spiritual needs.
Xu Yang chose...
"The auction has concluded successfully!"
"The next step is the competition of geniuses!"
"If you fellow Taoists are not in a hurry, you can stay one night at Qingyu Mountain and watch the ceremony tomorrow or participate in person."
"On the last day of the three-day competition, the Dharma King will personally be present to preside over the decisive battle. The winner will not only receive generous rewards, but also receive guidance from the Dharma King, and even become a disciple of the Dharma King and become a direct disciple of Qingyu Mountain!"
"Become famous now!"
"The smooth road is right in front of you!"
"Fellow Taoists, what are you waiting for?"
