Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 143

[Chapter 142: The Young Master of the Song Family]

“One thousand three hundred spirit stones!”

“One thousand three hundred and fifty spirit stones!”

…

The market for mid-grade spiritual weapons is good, probably because the first items in major auctions are all top-quality items.

Moreover, those who made bids are basically foundation-building cultivators!

Fang Xi just watched them show off in silence. Eventually, this piece of Green Cloud Five Smoke Silk was bought by a cultivator in a private room for 1,400 spirit stones.

“Purple Wood Pill, a pill that can help wood-attributed spiritual roots in the middle stage of Qi Refining to break through to the late stage. It is divided into three groups, one pill in each group, starting at 300 spirit stones. The first group…”

Ouyang Zhen showed a smile and continued the auction.

Fang Xi leaned back in the soft chair and witnessed the prosperity of the grand auction.

Various elixirs for breaking levels and high-quality elixirs for increasing mana…

Fine instruments…

Strange things…

It’s simply dazzling.

“Rare treasure – Purple Accumulation Bracelet! This is a fine product that combines both offense and defense. It was recently discovered from an ancient cultivator’s ruins. It consumes very little mana and is suitable for foundation-building cultivators. Its power is even greater than that of a top-grade spiritual weapon. The starting price is two thousand spiritual stones, and each bid must not be less than one hundred spiritual stones!”

Half an hour later, Ouyang Zhen showed a purple bracelet, which was engraved with a large number of complex and mysterious patterns. It was full of spiritual light and it was obvious at first sight that it was not an ordinary item.

“Two thousand one hundred spirit stones!” an old voice immediately quoted the price.

“Two thousand two hundred spirit stones!”

…

The foundation-building monks present were obviously very interested in this “Purple Accumulation Bracelet”, and soon the price reached a high of 2,900 spirit stones!

“Three thousand five hundred spirit stones!”

Suddenly, the voice of a young and confident man filled the room, directly suppressing the other bidders.

Everyone looked towards the box and saw that the window was open and there sat a foundation-building monk wearing a sea-blue robe, a jade crown on his head, and with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes.

He held a jade folding fan in his hand, looking like a handsome young man enjoying himself. He was not at all afraid of the gazes of the crowd. Instead, he bowed and smiled.

“It’s this person?”

“The young master of the Song family of Yue State – Song Qing!”

“It is said that this person was originally in charge of the Wanhai Tower branch in Qingzhufang City. As a result, his performance stood out among his competitors and he successfully won the position of the young master of the Song family. After that, his cultivation level improved by leaps and bounds, and he was unstoppable from then on. He successfully established his foundation at the age of thirty! He is known as a rare genius among the cultivators of the Yue family!”

…

Fang Xi looked at this person, listening to the discussions from all sides, his eyes becoming slightly deeper.

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper of Wanhailou back then has now become the young master of the Song family and has successfully established his foundation!

This person has a grudge against me!

But… you still need to be patient!
‘Well, but this person has established his foundation, which at least shows that the ‘Longevity Technique’ is indeed the original one, with nothing missing or hidden. After all, this person did swear an oath to his inner demon back then! ‘

Things like the inner demon oath don’t actually have much binding force for cultivators who disdain the path of Taoism and have no intention of improving their cultivation.

But this Song Qing is different!

Since this person was able to practice successfully and build a foundation after making a vow to his inner demons, it was obvious that the vow he made was true!

“But the Song family… still has the original ‘Eternal Life Technique’!”

Fang Xi was quite determined to achieve this.

Moreover, as he practiced the ‘art of longevity’, he still wanted to eliminate hidden dangers as much as possible.

After all, if he was found to be the one who bought the “Longevity Technique” in the first place, and then he was found to have the “Green Wood Spirit Body” because of his mediocre talent, then it would be a big problem. His own golden finger might even be at risk of being leaked! At least
, even a Jindan ancestor would be very interested in the quick-made “Green Wood Spirit Body”!
“But, it’s not the right time…”

Fang Xi avoided Song Qing’s position and yawned out of boredom.

“So it’s the young master of the Song family. Well, I’ll just give the Song family some face…”

“Haha, I am the Patriarch of the Maple Leaf Han Family. I wonder if the ancestor of the Song Family is in good health now?”

…

The Song family is indeed very prestigious, and those foundation-building cultivators have given up their fight.

Of course, it may also be because the price of the “Ziyun Bracelet” has reached its limit, and it was successfully bought by Song Qing.

“This auction will be guaranteed by our Master’s reputation. Every auction will be fair and no one can use power to pressure others…”

Ouyang Zhen snorted coldly, made a sarcastic remark to Song Qing, and then continued the auction.

This time, various spirit beast eggs and baby pets came on stage.

Fierce Wind Falcon, Two-Headed Ground Lizard, Thunder Horned Python…

Fang Xi watched with great interest. There were many monsters among these beasts that could rival foundation-building cultivators after reaching adulthood.

But for ordinary cultivators, daily feeding is a huge investment, and monsters have a long lifespan, so their growth time is often too long.

Therefore, most of the purchases are made by family monks.

Many immortal cultivation families, after their ancestors passed away, took the initiative to cancel the contract, or made a beast control card, and then let the spirit pets guard the family for dozens or hundreds of years!
After the auction of the spirit pets, another batch of skills, secret techniques, and even the four arts of immortal cultivation came on stage.

Fang Xi took a quick look but didn’t find any secret technique that interested him.

As for inheritance?

“It turns out that there is only a second-level talisman-making inheritance… It seems that the blockade of advanced skills in the cultivation world is a bit serious.”

Fang Xi just looked at it and didn’t buy it.

Finally, when he was getting bored of waiting, Ouyang Zhen’s voice came: “A ‘Dragon Ginseng’ is 220 years old and is an important auxiliary material for refining foundation-building pills. The base price is 800 spirit stones, and each bid must not be less than 50 spirit stones!”

“Nine hundred spirit stones!”

In the lobby on the first floor, there was already a casual cultivator who had reached the pinnacle of Qi training and couldn’t help but bid.

“One thousand spirit stones!”

The scene suddenly became very lively, with bids coming from all sides one after another, and soon the price reached 1,200 spirit stones.

“One thousand three hundred spirit stones!”

Fang Xi naturally joined in and shouted out his offer.

This is actually slightly higher than the previous price of ‘Hualong Ginseng’.

“One thousand three hundred and fifty spirit stones!”

In a private room, a young man made a quotation with gritted teeth.

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

An old man beside him sighed and said, “Nephew Hui, 1,350 spiritual stones is the highest price the family can support you with. If there is any increase in the price, you must give up.”

“Uncle, as long as I have the Dragon Ginseng and the precious Green Spirit Liquid in my family, I can gather all the auxiliary materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill. I can wait for someone to bring out the Demon Pill and then we can work together to make the pill. As long as I can make more than two pills… I can build my foundation. I won’t give up!”

Nephew Yun clenched his fists and prayed silently in his heart.

This price is already very high.

But the next moment, a slow voice sounded again: “One thousand four hundred spirit stones!”

This voice was like the last straw that broke the camel’s back, causing the young man to slump back into his chair with a dazed look on his face, his eyes somewhat dull…

“Heh… Another fool. He’s probably a casual cultivator with no connections…”

In another private room, Song Qing also commented with a smile: “As long as you have the means, the total cost of the Dragon Transformation and the Green Spirit Liquid is only 1,500 spirit stones. The really rare thing is the second-level demon pill! The family has already prepared several sets of auxiliary medicine materials, but the demon pill is hard to find…”

He looked towards the direction of Wanshou Mountain, with a hint of desire and fear in his expression.

…

“Although the premium is huge, I finally got it… I guess I’m a sucker…”

Fang Xi, who won the bid, breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the scene slowly.

But the next auction item was beyond Fang Xi’s expectations.

“The second-grade superior ‘Gale Golden Blade Formation’ has a complete formation plate and flags. It was just refined… It is easy to operate and has amazing power. It can be used as a mountain protection formation. The range can cover an area of more than ten miles… It is a rare and exquisite product.”

Ouyang Zhen smiled and displayed a number of glittering formation flags: “The base price is three thousand spirit stones. Anyone who wants to purchase formations to protect their families or to build a market should not miss this opportunity.”

Fang Xi’s eyes suddenly lit up.

He simply couldn’t set up a second-level, top-grade formation.

The ‘Gale Golden Blade Formation’ is mainly for killing. If this formation is fully activated, any late-stage foundation-building monster that falls into the death gate of the formation will have difficulty surviving!
Of course, most foundation-building monsters have spiritual intelligence and will not be so foolish as to go deep into the formation.

But Fang Xi is different!

He can ensure that the monster will fall into the death gate as soon as it arrives!

“If we can get this formation, then getting the demon pill will be as easy as taking something out of a bag…”

Fang Xi’s eyes lit up slightly, but when he saw Song Qing’s box, he became silent again.

He had experienced this man’s character before. He was definitely not a good person. It would be easy for him to be targeted if he showed off too much wealth.

“Wait and see…”

Fang Xi did not move his troops, and this formation was obviously caught up in the frenzy of competition among those foundation-building forces. The price quickly rose to four thousand!
He calculated his family’s assets and gave up directly.

After selling the stolen goods, he had at most 7,000 spirit stones. Adding the previous purchases and this consumption, he was left with more than 3,000 low-grade spirit stones.

This is not a question of whether to fight for it or not, it is simply not affordable!
In the end, this set of second-level superior formation was bought by a newly promoted foundation-building family that urgently needed a mountain protection formation at a high price of 5,000 spirit stones.

After a few more auction items, Ouyang Zhen took out another set of array plates and flags:
“Second-level mid-grade – the remnants of the ‘Yi Mu Divine Thunder Array’… This array lost several array flags, and the array plate was damaged. Later, after repairs, it barely recovered a certain amount of power…”

Fang Xi looked at the green flags and hesitated a little.

At this time, a female voice was heard from a private room: “What is the coverage of this formation? Are there any changes to the gate of life and death?”

The questions this woman asked were all to the point, and she might also be a formation master.

Fang Xi pricked up his ears and heard Ouyang Zhen’s slightly embarrassed answer: “The range of this formation has been reduced to about 200 feet, and the breath-retaining function has been weakened. As for the other restrictions, they are generally intact…”

“Two hundred feet?”

The female formation master sneered and didn’t ask any more questions.

Some experienced monks also sighed.

Generally speaking, if the power of a second-level formation is fully unleashed, it can cover an area of at least several miles or even dozens of miles in radius!

Two hundred feet, only more than six hundred meters! It has fallen to the first level, not enough!

As for the weakening of the breath-hiding function, it means that it is difficult to hide. Even if you bring it to the wild and set traps, no monster will be stupid enough to break in.

It can be said that it is quite useless.

“Ahem, the second-level mid-grade ‘Yi Mu Divine Thunder Remnant Formation’, the base price is 1,500 Spiritual Stones! Each bid increase must not be less than 20 Spiritual Stones!”

Ouyang Zhen was also somewhat helpless. This formation was also damaged when its owner was hunting monsters outside. He had no choice but to give it up and send it to auction. Anyway, it was better than directly scrapping it and selling the materials!
As expected, there were few monks competing…

After a few scattered bids, it was bought by a guest in the box for 1,600 spirit stones.

Ouyang Zhen heaved a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face again: “Everyone… Next is the finale of this auction…”
