Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 323

[Chapter 322: Crossing the Destruction (14 more chapters to make up)]

“Next up is the auction… the qualification to enter the Liyan Secret Realm, there are a total of twenty people.”

Old man Tiansha smiled and said:

“Liyan Secret Realm… I don’t need to explain the mysteries of this secret realm… The spiritual objects and resources in it are very useful to Jindan cultivators like us. The starting price for this quota is 10,000 spirit stones, and each bid must not be less than 500 spirit stones…”

As soon as old man Tiansha finished speaking, bidding sounds immediately began to rise one after another.

In addition to the Jindan cultivators in the private rooms, the foundation-building cultivators in the open seats were also enthusiastically vying for this spot.

Fang Xi released his spiritual sense and listened to a few words, only then did he realize that in this secret realm, there were actually occasional pill-forming spiritual creatures produced. No wonder these foundation-building cultivators were so desperate.

Soon, the twenty spots were sold out.

Old man Tiansha’s expression became solemn. He personally brought out a tray and opened it. Inside was a golden pill emitting fire-like spiritual light.

A strange medicinal aroma immediately spread around.

“One Fire Element Golden Pill… the base price is 600,000 Spiritual Stones, and each bid must not be less than 10,000 Spiritual Stones!”

For a moment, all the foundation-building cultivators’ eyes were agitated: “It turned out to be the formation of the golden elixir?”

“This Five Elements Golden Pill is a supreme elixir that the alchemist has refined by imitating the Five Elements Spiritual Fruit known as the ‘Golden Pill’. It has consumed countless precious resources…”

Elder Tiansha briefly introduced it: “This ‘Fire-based Golden Pill’ is enough to increase the chances of successfully forming a golden pill for cultivators who have completed their foundation building and practiced fire-attributed techniques by 20%. It is truly the best elixir for forming a golden pill… Of course, if a cultivator practices techniques of other attributes, the effect will be much weaker after taking it, probably only 10% chance. If the attributes are in conflict, the chance will be even lower. Fellow Taoists, please pay attention to this point…”

…

“I’ll give you 610,000!”

“Seven hundred thousand!”

“Seven hundred and fifty thousand… Old Ghost Li, you are a practitioner of the ‘Water Source Technique’. What are you fighting with me for?”

“Eight hundred thousand. Both me and my fellow Taoist are golden elixirs. We purchased this item naturally for our disciples’ descendants…”

…

As soon as the golden elixir appeared, the scene suddenly became extremely hot.

Although the eyes of the foundation-building cultivators below were burning with enthusiasm, after several rounds of bidding, they were still crushed by the Jindan cultivators with their abundant financial resources, and expressions of helplessness and unwillingness appeared on their faces.

Fang Xi looked at this scene and felt sympathetic.

“In Yuan Country, to inherit a sect or family and maintain a certain scale, at least one Jindan cultivator is required…”

“How many foundation-building families have struggled for hundreds of years but still cannot cultivate a Jindan cultivator… Once any Jindan resources are released, they will inevitably be frantically snatched by various forces. It is really too difficult for independent cultivators to form Jindan…”

“However… I have quite a few Dan-forming spiritual objects in my hands…”

Looking at the price of the Fire Element Golden Elixir soaring all the way and finally being bought by Luo Qian, a Golden Elixir cultivator from the Red Blood Sect, for a price of one million spirit stones, a smile appeared on Fang Xi’s face.

After all, the higher the value of the Jindan spiritual object, the richer his wealth.

…

“The last lot of this auction…”

Before we knew it, the auction had come to an end.

Old man Tiansha looked extremely solemn, holding a tray in his hands.

On the tray was a jade flowerpot with an orchid in it. The orchid had a strange shape, and there seemed to be two streams of light, one black and one white, circulating back and forth at the pistil.

“Disillusionment Heart Orchid?!”

Before the old man Tiansha could speak, the cultivator named Zhang from the Hunyuan Sect spoke almost in a trance: “Your Qingye Chamber of Commerce is actually auctioning off the Infant Condensation Spirit Item?!”

“What? It’s actually an Infant Condensation Spirit Object?!”

The faces of many Jindan cultivators changed drastically. Even Fang Xi changed his previous expression of watching a show and looked at the orchid potted plant in surprise and suspicion.

The atmosphere at the scene was stagnant for a moment, and many foundation-building cultivators were already sweating profusely and wanted to escape from the auction venue.

God knows what crazy things these Jindan people are willing to do for a slight chance to form an Infant Formation!

Many of them stared at the ‘Illusionary Heart Orchid’, as if they wanted to remember its appearance clearly.

“Fellow Daoists, please don’t worry… Although this is the ‘Illusionary Heart Orchid’, it is only nine hundred years old…”

A terrifying aura of perfect Jindan burst out from old man Tiansha, and he answered calmly.

“It’s only nine hundred years old? It’s such a pity, but it’s also a rare treasure… Qingye Chamber of Commerce is willing to part with this spiritual root of heaven and earth. I wonder how much it’s worth?”

Senior Brother Zhang asked quickly.

“Damn it… If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have bought this Fire-Element Golden Elixir.”

In another private room, Luo Qian looked at the golden elixir in his hand with a gloomy expression: “Qingye Chamber of Commerce is really powerful. There was no news about it before…”

Suddenly, a voice was heard: “Daoyou Tiansha, I haven’t introduced this precious medicine in detail yet!”

The person who spoke was naturally Fang Xi.

After all, he was completely confused about the effects of this magical medicine from heaven and earth.

“It’s my fault…”

Taoist Tiansha clasped his fists and bowed, then continued, “As everyone knows… Jindan cultivators face many difficulties in condensing their Nascent Soul. The only things that can help them a little bit are Nascent Soul-condensing spiritual objects and opportunities…”

“After condensing the Nascent Soul, one still has to face the two great calamities of the inner demon and the heavenly thunder!”

“This ‘Illusion Heart Orchid’ is one of the main ingredients for refining the ‘Destroyer Pill’… This elixir has incredible magical effects. If you swallow one pill when you are going through the Heart Demon Tribulation… it will be of great benefit to overcoming the Heart Demon Tribulation.”

“Unfortunately… Only the thousand-year-old Illusion Heart Orchid can be used to refine the ‘Transmigration Pill’ that can truly help overcome the Nascent Soul Heart Demon Tribulation… The other hundreds of years old ‘Illusion Heart Orchids’ can only be used to refine the ‘Small Transmigration Pill’, which is also very beneficial for Jindan cultivators to resolve their inner demons during their cultivation, but it can’t play any role in the Nascent Soul Heart Demon Tribulation.”

…

“It’s such a treasure…”

Fang Xi’s eyes couldn’t help but get a little fiery: “Although it’s only nine hundred years old, for Jindan cultivators like us, what’s the harm in waiting another hundred years?!”

To be honest, as he possesses the Treasure Mirror of the Heavens, he is destined to be rich in resources. He can still find other ways to condense his Nascent Soul and survive the heavenly thunder tribulation, but the tribulation of his inner demon may be Fang Xi’s weakest point.

Naturally, I must seize this opportunity.

The other Jindan cultivators, especially those from the two Yuanying sects, probably had the same idea and shouted, “What’s the base price? Let’s get started…”

“Wait a minute…”

There seemed to be a smile in the old man Tiansha’s eyes. He deliberately waited until everyone was impatient before sighing, “When this Illusion Heart Orchid was discovered, its roots were damaged and it could no longer grow… Otherwise, this old man would also be tempted…”

“The roots are damaged and can’t continue to grow?!”

Luo Qian sighed: “This is really… the value has plummeted.”

“As far as I know… if some high-level cultivators who practice top-level wood-related skills are willing to sacrifice their own essence, they may be able to save their spiritual roots…”

Fang Xi’s eyes flashed and he asked another question.

“Of course…” Elder Tiansha was startled, then answered calmly: “Some Daoists who practice top-level wood-based techniques can indeed do so… But Daoists may not know that the higher the level of spiritual roots, the more terrifying the source required to save them… And they must do it all at once, and cannot be replaced by others, otherwise it will easily cause the spiritual roots to wither directly.”

“The ‘Illusionary Heart Orchid’ is at the fourth level. If a Jindan cultivator wants to save this spiritual root, he may have to use up all his lifespan in one go and it will be irreparable… Of course, if we can find a Yuanying Zhenjun who practices wood-type techniques, and then spend another five or six hundred years of his lifespan, we may still be able to save it.”

Old Man Tiansha replied calmly: “Or… Daoist friend can find rare treasures such as ‘Nine Heavens Pure Water’ and ‘Heavenly Spiritual Liquid’, which should be able to save the situation.”

The Jindan cultivators in the room fell into silence again. After a long while, an unwilling voice was heard: “Whether it is the Yuanying True Lord who spent hundreds of years of his life, or this heavenly spiritual water… the value is greater than the ‘Illusionary Heart Orchid’. No, it should be said that it is far greater… Even the ‘Du Mie Dan’ is far inferior to it… It seems that this ‘Illusionary Heart Orchid’ can only be used to refine the ‘Small Du Mie Dan’?”

“That’s right… otherwise the seller wouldn’t be willing to sell it.” Elder Tiansha said with a hint of regret: “But as compensation, along with this ‘Illusionary Heart Orchid’, there is also the recipe for the ancient elixir ‘Du Mie Dan’, which can be regarded as a small compensation from our Chamber of Commerce…”

“Even if you only refine the ‘Xiaodu Mie Dan’, for all the Jindan cultivators, the inner demons during the cultivation process can be ignored… It is even rumored that this pill has a slight effect of helping to break through bottlenecks.”

Old Man Tiansha smiled and said, “This ‘Illusionary Heart Orchid’… is extremely precious and rare, so the seller does not want spirit stones, but needs those who are interested to exchange it with spirit objects… You can put the transaction items into the restriction of the box token, and when the seller agrees, I will naturally take people to trade…”

“On this jade slip is what the seller needs. You can take a look at it and make your own offer…”

…

“Xiaodu Mie Dan!”

In the box A, a Jindan-level guest official stared at the Illusionary Heart Orchid, his pupils filled with greed.

“Mr. Ling…you are…”

Yan Ruyu looked at this man in surprise. His face was full of murderous intent, but his cultivation was truly extraordinary, and he seemed to have reached the peak of the middle stage of the Jindan stage.

“Hehe… Fairy Yu, you don’t know that this old ghost Ling coveted the power of martial arts, and chose to practice the ancient top-level martial arts – the Evil Spirit Art! Now he has reached the stage where evil spirits have entered his body and his inner demons are rampant… If he can’t get the magic medicine to suppress his inner demons, not only will his cultivation level not improve, he may even die…”

A Jindan cultivator immediately explained through telepathy: “This time, this old ghost Ling used his position as a deacon of the Chamber of Commerce to find out what spiritual objects the sellers were looking for. He was ready to spend all his money… He also borrowed a lot of spiritual objects from old ghost Bi, fellow Daoist Li from the Golden Sword Sect, and others.”

“So that’s how it is…” Yan Ruyu looked at Old Ling with a bit of pity in her eyes.

At this time, the monk surnamed Ling had no time to care about anything else. He just frantically entered the names of various spiritual objects into the forbidden token…
