Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 160

[Chapter 159: Dan Jin Ling Wu (asking for monthly ticket)]

In the Southern Wilderness world of immortal cultivation, the Wu, Mu, and Yue countries are located in the north and are remote rural areas.

Further north of these three kingdoms is the natural barrier – Damengze!

If you go south, there are dozens of countries, the smaller ones are similar to Yue and Mu… and the larger ones are much larger than the three combined.

The Yuan Kingdom is a vast country, its area is larger than the Three Kingdoms combined, and it houses a Nascent Soul-level force – the Hunyuan Sect!

The founder of Yiling Valley was once a beloved disciple of a Yuanying Zhenjun in Hunyuan Sect. He later failed to break through to the Yuanying stage and returned to his hometown in despair, where he founded Yiling Valley.

“This Yiling Valley may look like a sect, but it is actually controlled by aristocratic families… The founder of the sect is surnamed You! The You family of Yiling Valley is a golden elixir family, much more noble than the Song family or the Xu family…”

There was also envy in Luo Gong’s voice.

“I see……”

Fang Xi felt that his horizons had been broadened.

At this time, the bored Yuan Feihong also joined in: “It is true that Yiling Valley has the background of a Yuanying sect… but thousands of years have passed, and the founder of the sect and the Yuanying Zhenjun have all passed away… Do you know why the You family can still stand firm and have Jindan ancestors from generation to generation?”

“I don’t know. Please give me some advice, Brother Yuan.”

Fang Xi knew Yuan Feihong’s character and asked for advice sincerely.

Seeing Luo Gong beside him also had a curious look on his face, Yuan Feihong smiled and said, “The You family of Yiling Valley has a treasure that is the family’s treasure, called the ‘Nine Dragon Pearl’! This pearl has infinite power and is said to be the most top-level treasure. It was given to his beloved disciple by the former Yuanying Zhenjun before his departure…”

“This ‘Nine Dragons’ Pearl’ can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on its own, just like the Qi Sea and Dantian of a cultivator. It has a unique mystery. If an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator refines it in his hand, he can be comparable to a Foundation Establishment cultivator… and if a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage holds it in his hand, it is almost equivalent to a fake Dan cultivator who has refined the inner elixir of a third-level great demon… If it is in the hands of a true Jindan ancestor, it is equivalent to having an extra magic weapon!”

Fake Dan monk!

This kind of cultivator has reached perfection in foundation building and has no hope of forming an elixir. So he has to refine the inner elixir of a third-level demon king and barely form a fake elixir.

It is said that in terms of strength, magical powers, and even lifespan, he is not much inferior to a cultivator in the early stage of Jindan.

However, once you refine the demon pill and advance to the fake pill, your cultivation will never improve at all throughout your life, and you will be at the initial stage of pill formation until your death.

“There is such a magical object?”

Luo Gong’s eyes lit up.

“No wonder the You family has produced Jindan ancestors from generation to generation. It seems that when a certain generation was in a period of transition, they relied on this thing to become comparable to fake Dan cultivators, right?”

Fang Xi was also quite emotional: “It can be passed down continuously. The value of this rare treasure is simply inestimable for the immortal cultivation family…”

“Well, this item is a treasure for the immortal cultivation family, but for the Yuanying Zhenjun, it may just be a useless thing… and the foundation-building cultivator is comparable to the false elixir ancestor with the ‘Nine Dragon Pearl’, but he does not have the lifespan to form a elixir… but he still retains the possibility of forming a elixir.”

Yuan Feihong pointed out a shortcoming of “Nine Dragon Balls” which is not really a shortcoming.

“It is worthy of being the most top-level rare treasure!”

Fang Xi sighed: “It is difficult to measure the value of such rare treasures with spirit stones…”

They chatted for a few more minutes before going into their respective boxes.

Fang Xi looked at the private rooms on the second floor, then at the seats in the auction hall below, but his eyes did not find Ruan Xingling.

As there were so many foundation-building monks present, he could not rashly release his spiritual sense to search.

‘Perhaps in disguise, or in a box?’

Fang Xi leaned back in the soft chair, looking relatively relaxed, quietly waiting for the auction to begin.

…

Bang!
With the sound of a gong, this auction was still hosted by Ouyang Zhen.

He flew onto the stage in a robe, his magical power was even more unfathomable, and he scanned the audience: “Welcome everyone to this auction, the first item is…”

Fang Xi looked at the items being auctioned below and yawned.

The first item to be auctioned was a mid-grade spiritual flying sword, which had very good attributes in all aspects.

However, he already had an offensive spiritual weapon, and he did not have many spiritual stones prepared today, so he had to save some to buy a defensive spiritual weapon.

Compared to a decade ago, this auction is similar in both scale and treasures.

Fang Xi even saw a second-level weapon refining inheritance!

Unfortunately, he had little talent in weapon refining and was too lazy to bid.

Not to mention refining equipment, the second-level talisman-making inheritance jade slip given by Chen Ping is gathering dust in the storage bag!
His energy is now on puppetry, formations, and alchemy. He has to practice every day, and he really can’t spare any other free time.

“The next lot is… a mid-grade defensive spiritual weapon – ‘Five Elements Shield’!”

An unknown amount of time had passed when Ouyang Zhen’s deep voice instantly caught Fang Xi’s interest.

On the auction table, Ouyang Zhen was displaying a strange small round shield in his hand. On the five positions of the black shield, there was a five-colored spirit bead representing the five elements.

“This ‘Five Elements Shield Armor’ was created by Master Ou Ye… It can transform into five elements light armor and has great defensive power against five elements spells!”

Ouyang Zhen casually input a magical power, the small round shield shook, and suddenly a layer of colorful light armor appeared, wrapping his whole body.

“In terms of defense… it’s only slightly inferior to the second-level inferior spiritual armor!”

“And if it is transformed into a shield, its defensive power will far exceed that of ordinary low-grade defensive spiritual weapons…”

Ouyang Zhen was talking freely, but his final offer exposed his trump card: “Mid-grade spiritual weapon – Five Elements Shield Armor, the base price is 900 spiritual stones, and each increase in price must not be less than 50 spiritual stones!”

“It seems that this is a failure of Master Ouye’s work…”

Fang Xi also recognized Master Ou Ye, who was a top-grade second-rank weapon refiner in Bai Ze Immortal City.

However, this spiritual weapon was probably made in pursuit of a certain concept. Although it has reached the level of a mid-grade spiritual weapon, its actual defensive power is still around that of a low-grade spiritual weapon. Naturally, it does not receive much attention.

Fang Xi remembered that at the last big auction, the mid-grade spiritual weapon Biyun Wuyanluo was sold for 1,400 spiritual stones.

But this time, he only raised the price twice and bought the ‘Five Elements Shield Armor’ for 1,200 spirit stones.

The foundation-building monks are very smart. It is really a waste to buy low-grade spiritual weapons at the price of medium-grade spiritual weapons.

Fang Xi felt that this armor was transformed into a five-element light armor. Although its defensive power was a little weaker, it was still in line with his own martial arts path.

High defense against five elements spells is also a good advantage.

After all, most cultivators use the five elements magic.

After this bid, he no longer had much interest in the remaining auction items.

Watching each formation, spiritual pet, mineral, and rare item being sought after and sold at high prices.

After waiting till the end, it was finally time for the finale that I had not participated in last time!
“This finale, the first lot – a bottle of ‘Dragon Snake Evil’, a pill of ‘Zeng Yuan Dan’, and a ‘Exiting Talisman’, a set of auction, the reserve price is 2,500 spirit stones, and each bid must not be less than 100!”

Ouyang Zhen smiled slightly and asked the maid to bring out a tray, which immediately attracted the attention of the whole audience.

Especially those Qi-refining cultivators who have not yet established their foundation, their eyes are filled with eagerness when they look at this set of three treasures.

Dragon and Snake Evil is pure evil spirit, which can help cultivators temper their bodies, and the Yuan Zeng Dan can increase mana in a short period of time!
As for the “Exiting Spirit Talisman”, although it is only ranked as a second-level upper-grade, the difficulty of making it is similar to some third-level talismans. It is an extremely special and precious talisman that can help Qi-refining cultivators temporarily condense their spiritual consciousness!

The combination of these three treasures can at least increase the chances of a cultivator who has reached the perfection of Qi Refining by more than 20% in building a foundation!

In terms of efficacy, it is almost the same as the inferior Foundation Establishment Pill in Fang Xi’s hand, except that it does not have the special effect of the Foundation Establishment Pill to protect the immortality of the person.

“What’s going on? In the past, weren’t these foundation-building spiritual objects placed at the end of the show? Why are they placed so early today?”

All of a sudden, the group of cultivators surged, and many cultivators offered their prices:
“Two thousand six hundred spirit stones!”

“Three thousand spirit stones!”

“Three thousand one hundred…”

…

Fang Xi admired with great interest the various aspects of life of the Qi-refining cultivators below.

Their life savings might not be enough to buy a foundation-building pill, so their only hope is the foundation-building spiritual object.

And now this set is almost equivalent to half a Foundation Establishment Pill, so the price naturally went up all the way. Finally, it was sold at a high price of five thousand spirit stones and was bought by a female cultivator in a box on the second floor.

Because the other person’s voice changed, Fang Xi was unable to confirm whether this woman was Ruan Xingling.

“I know the finances of Taohua Island. Ruan Xingling probably doesn’t have that many spirit stones, right?”

Fang Xi sat quietly, waiting for the second finale item.

“A genuine foundation-building pill, the base price is three thousand spirit stones, and each increase in price must not be less than one hundred…”

Sure enough, Ouyang Zhen took out another jade bottle. Through the translucent bottle body, one could see the elixir emitting a blue halo.

“It’s actually the Foundation Establishment Pill?!”

“Isn’t this the last one?”

The foundation-building monks on the second floor were also talking about it, but this did not prevent them from making offers.

The popularity of the Foundation Establishment Pill was even greater than that of the previous Foundation Establishment spiritual objects, and the price went up to six thousand spirit stones. It was finally bought by You Chong of Yiling Valley at a high price of seven thousand eight hundred spirit stones.

Fang Xi looked at this scene and pressed his eye sockets.

Of course he knew that the starting price of the Foundation Establishment Pill was three thousand, and in reality the price was at least doubled at each auction.

Sometimes, even when encountering customers in urgent need, tens of thousands of spirit stones are sold.

“Next, it’s the last item of this auction!”

Ouyang Zhen looked serious and suddenly made a gesture of magic.

Buzz!

Around the auction table, a red light curtain suddenly rose up, protecting him.

The atmosphere in the auction hall suddenly became tense.

Even Fang Xi was very interested in this final item.

Ouyang Zhen solemnly held out a white jade long-necked bottle and said in a deep voice: “A bottle of the rare treasure ‘Mysterious Water Liquid’ can slightly increase the probability of forming a pill for a cultivator who has completed the foundation building. The starting price is 10,000 spirit stones…”

“What?”

You Chong, who had just bought the Foundation Establishment Pill, stood up suddenly, his expression extremely moved, and stared at the long-necked jade bottle in Ouyang Zhen’s hand with a hint of greed.

Almost all the foundation-building cultivators present lost their composure and stared in astonishment: “It’s actually a Jindan spiritual creature!?”

Dan formation!

This is a more difficult stage in the cultivation of immortals than building the foundation. Once the elixir is formed successfully, you can be called the ancestor of the sect and live for 500 years!

However, among the three nearby countries, there is no precious pill like the “Foundation Building Pill” that can stably increase the probability of forming a pill.

Basically, those cultivators who had reached the Jindan stage, including the independent cultivator Baifeng Zhenren, had all traveled to various countries and succeeded in reaching the Jindan stage due to various coincidences. Their experiences could not be replicated.

It is precisely because of this that the Jindan sect loses its Jindan ancestor and then declines.

This is the nightmare of all Jindan sects!

In order to collect the spiritual objects for forming the elixir, these powerful forces will often go to any lengths!
“‘Mysterious Water Liquid’… I seem to have seen this in ancient books… It can only slightly increase the probability of a cultivator forming the elixir, but it seems to be less than half.”

A foundation-building monk murmured.

“The Golden Elixir Road is ahead. Even if there is only a 1% or 1/1000 chance, we must strive for it. What about half of it?”

Taoist Huangsha’s voice was like a broken gong, and his face was ferocious.
