Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 322
[Chapter 321: Grand Auction (13 more chapters to make up)]
For the next ten days, Fang Xi meditated and refined his energy in the cave of Yingkexuan at night, and strolled out during the day to buy some spiritual herbs and objects he needed.
His skills in formation and talismans have now reached the third level, but his alchemy skills are still a little lacking, mainly because he lacks various spiritual herbs and alchemy recipes.
However, after arriving in Yuan Kingdom, various immortal cultivation resources have become much more abundant, and he is quite confident that he can further improve his alchemy skills.
During this period, Fang Xi ambitiously visited various independent cultivators’ stalls, hoping to pick up a bargain with his own eyesight and knowledge, or even the Purple Qi Sky Eye technique.
However, I don’t know if it’s because I don’t have enough opportunities, but I still don’t gain anything.
Those independent cultivators are very shrewd. In addition to using fake goods to cheat people, they will hold on tightly to things they are unsure about and dare to quote outrageous prices for them.
After a few times, Fang Xi gave up the idea of taking advantage of the bargain.
After all, the bad consequences that followed the last time we found a bargain are not good memories.
…
On this day, just as the sky was getting light, the market in Xuankong Mountain became extremely lively.
There are a large number of immortal cultivators who control the light of escape, or ride on spirit beasts, flying cars… and enter the market.
Among these cultivators, even Qi Refining cultivators are very rare, most of them are in the Foundation Building stage, while Core Forming cultivators are not uncommon.
Ding!
With the sound of a clear bell, a flash of light appeared in the cave, and Fang Xi walked out.
At this moment, he was wearing a bamboo hat with black veil hanging on all sides, covering his face, looking like a robbery cultivator.
However, there were many cultivators around him who were dressed similarly to him, so he didn’t look out of place.
“The Xuankong Mountain Auction is finally about to begin.”
Fang Xi murmured to himself and followed the crowd to the outside of the auction venue.
“Welcome, Senior…”
Guarding the gate were two foundation-building cultivators, and both of them had reached the late stage of foundation-building.
With their spiritual senses, they discovered that Fang Xi’s cultivation was unfathomable, and they immediately became much more respectful. They checked Fang Xi’s token again and said, “Senior, this is Room 16, B. Please come in!”
When Fang Xi walked into the auction venue, he saw that the first floor was full of seats, while there were many private rooms on the second floor.
Various forbidden lights flashed back and forth, and it was actually dazzling.
“I wonder if there will be any Nascent Souls at such a large auction…”
He murmured to himself, went to the second floor, found his own box, used the token to open the ban, and walked in.
Suddenly, everything around them became quiet!
The noise from the auction house was completely blocked by the walls.
The furnishings in the box were also very simple, with only a table and a chair, and some spiritual tea and fruit.
Fang Xi sat in a chair with his eyes closed, waiting for the auction to begin.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
Suddenly, a clear gong sounded.
Fang Xi opened his eyes and saw that a gaunt old man in a purple robe had appeared on the platform in the middle of the auction.
The old man’s eyes were as bright as lightning. Anyone who was glanced at by him felt a sense of emptiness in their hearts and awe.
“It’s actually Old Man Tiansha!”
“This person is a cultivator who has reached the Perfect Jindan stage… He is also one of the most difficult people to mess with among the Yuan Nation’s independent cultivators…”
“I didn’t expect that Qingye Chamber of Commerce would actually invite them all out…”
The monks around were whispering to each other, and were captured by Fang Xi’s spiritual sense.
Only then did he realize that this ‘Old Man Tiansha’ had been famous for nearly three hundred years, and possessed several very powerful fighting skills, making him almost the number one in the Yuan Kingdom to achieve the Jindan state.
“No wonder I feel a little dignified. He is indeed a strong man in the Jindan stage… It’s a pity that his birthday is not far away…”
Fang Xi sighed secretly.
Any reputation is false, only long life is real.
He didn’t even need to use the Withering and Flourishing Technique, as he knew at a glance that this person’s time was near. His body was aging and he would never have the chance to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.
Perhaps it was because of this that he had to consider his future generations and accept the recruitment and employment of the Aoba Chamber of Commerce.
“This conference will be hosted by me personally…”
Old man Tiansha looked around and his voice was like a broken gong.
However, immortal cultivators do not pay attention to these things. The most important thing is that this person’s cultivation is enough to control the situation.
“Okay, without further ado… let’s start the auction of the first item now!”
Old Man Tiansha clapped his hands, and a group of ten maids came forward holding trays. In each tray was a jade bottle containing a blue pill.
“Ten Foundation Building Pills, starting at 3,000 Spiritual Stones each! The first group starts now.”
As soon as old man Tiansha finished speaking, someone couldn’t wait to bid.
After all, Foundation Establishment Pills are a necessity for any force, and you can never have too much.
In a certain box.
“I never thought that this old devil would condescend to me. He really gave me a big surprise…”
Bi Laogui, Yan Ruyu, and several Chamber of Commerce Jindan sat together, looking at the auction going on below.
As the Golden Cores of the Chamber of Commerce, they appeared in the box at this time, of course, as guests.
Old Ghost Bi sighed: “This old ghost Tiansha has always been arrogant, I don’t know why he is like this…”
“Of course, this person is about to die, but he has a bunch of useless descendants and disciples. He can only ask our Chamber of Commerce for protection. It’s a pity… Although Elder Tiansha has sufficient cultivation, his skills in hosting auctions and heating up the atmosphere are still a little rusty…”
Another red-faced man shook his head regretfully.
“Hehe… this matter is not relevant. I have already seen the Jindan cultivators from the Hunyuan Sect and the Red Blood Sect. If these two groups collide, there will be waves even without wind…” Yan Ruyu said with a smile: “I even specially moved the boxes of these two groups closer…”
“Haha, Fairy Jade is really wise.”
Several Jindan cultivators were all amazed.
“Fairy Yu, you came here, what are you looking for?” The old ghost Bi’s pupils flickered, and he suddenly asked, “Is it for that last item as well?”
“Of course not, I just have my eyes on a magical pill…”
Yan Ruyu smiled without changing her expression: “Although I am also very tempted by the finale, I don’t have enough money to buy it…”
…
In the box.

Fang Xi yawned out of boredom.
After the opening auction of ten foundation-building pills, another batch of pill array talismans were auctioned off one after another. They were all rare and exquisite items that were rarely seen in the outside world, and they were sold at high prices.
During this period, there are also special things such as puppets, monster eggs, etc.
Unfortunately, ever since he had taken a tour through the secret realm of the original Demon Sect, there were very few spiritual creatures that could attract Fang Xi.
“A third-level mid-grade magic weapon – the sharp gold ring!”
At this time, the old man Tiansha below was introducing a magical weapon that was shining with golden light.
“This ring is made mainly of ‘Western Extreme Platinum’, and a little ‘Black Iron Essence’ is mixed in… Its sturdiness is definitely among the best among magic weapons… It has been infused with several magical restrictions, and it is both offensive and defensive. It is a rare fine product, and the starting price is 300,000 Spiritual Stones!”
Obviously, the only ones who can afford to buy this kind of magic weapon are the Jindan cultivators.
“It’s actually this treasure, haha, it’s just what someone needs… I’ll pay 310,000 spirit stones!”
A rough voice came from a box.
“Three hundred and one thousand spirit stones. Could it be that Hunyuan Sect has lost several spirit stone mines and reduced the tributes to the Jindan elders? Hehe… I will offer four hundred thousand spirit stones!”
A sinister voice suddenly came from another box.
“The guardian of the Red Blood Sect – Luo Qian! You are here too.” The rough voice was obviously filled with shock and anger.
“Ahem…”
Old man Tiansha coughed, and the spiritual power of his perfect elixir continued to spread toward the auction.
Even around the auction table, red beams of light shot up into the sky, with countless forbidden runes flashing inside, looking quite extraordinary.
“No matter your background, please do not disturb other guests at the auction.”
Old man Tiansha said calmly.
“The Sky Flame Four Evils Formation… OK, very good… I’ll give you 410,000 spirit stones!” the burly man said viciously.
“Four hundred and fifty thousand.” Luo Qian immediately raised the price.
The other Jindan cultivators did not want to be involved in the dispute between the two major sects, and they all gave up on the auction.
Soon, the price of this magical weapon, Sharp Gold Ring, reached a high price of 500,000 spirit stones as the two of them bid it up.
“Five hundred and ten thousand spirit stones. If you offer more, I will give you this magic weapon!”
Finally, that rough voice carried a hint of determination, and Fang Xi seemed to see the image of a man with red and bloodshot eyes.
“Hehe… Since Brother Zhang likes it so much, I, Rui Jinhuan, will help you. Haha… I just wonder if you have so many spirit stones on you?”
Luo Qian’s voice was heard.
Obviously, this price has exceeded the value of an ordinary third-grade mid-quality magic weapon. If he continues to bid, he might end up losing money.
However, the martial arts he practiced were not of the gold nature, so if he took this magic weapon, it would be wasted.
Therefore, I chose to quit while I was ahead.
“Hmph, you don’t have to worry about that. Bring the magic weapon to the box for the transaction.”
The monk named Zhang snorted coldly, seeming a little depressed.
After all, it would cost a lot of money to raise the price of a beloved magic weapon to such a high level.
…
“Then… the next lot is also the highlight of this auction – a Xuanyuan Poqing Pill, which can help cultivators in the early stage of Jindan to break through the bottleneck. The starting price is 400,000 spirit stones, and each bid must not be less than 1,000 spirit stones.”
Old Man Tiansha smiled and asked the maid to bring out a tray, on which was placed the elixir Fang Xi had given him!
“What? It’s actually this kind of elixir?”
In the box, many Jindan cultivators stood up suddenly, with a hint of fanaticism on their faces.
After forming the elixir, it becomes more difficult to improve magical powers, and there are many people who have not made any progress for decades or even hundreds of years.
Most of the Yuan Kingdom’s Jindan cultivators are still in the early stages of Jindan, so this elixir is extremely applicable and is enthusiastically sought after.
Fang Xi saw that the price kept rising, and finally it was bought for 680,000 spirit stones by a Jindan cultivator with a magnetic voice that could not be distinguished as a man or a woman. It was also unknown whether it was the female cultivator named Yan.
However, whether the other party can get what he wants is not Fang Xi’s business.
