Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 84

[Chapter 83 Auction (Congratulations to Alliance Leader 67832!)]

After purchasing one hundred kilograms of the finest ‘Red Blood Spirit Rice’ as rice seeds, Fang Xi visited several magic tool shops.

His top-grade magic weapon, the ‘Golden Dragon Sword’, had sustained some damage during the battle against Dugu Wuwang, so it would be better to repair it.

However, Fang Xi’s identity is really not suitable for showing the top-grade magic weapon to the public.

What’s more…the two evil Kou family members are still active near the market town!

Fang Xi therefore gave up the idea.

“But after the Black Iron Shield is completely damaged, I will need to buy a mid-grade defensive magic weapon and an offensive magic weapon. Yes, the Black Cloud Bag also needs to be replaced.”

As a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Refining, it is quite reasonable for him to possess several mid-grade magical instruments.

In the market town, the price of a mid-grade magic weapon fluctuates between dozens of spirit stones.

Defensive weapons are usually more expensive than offensive ones, and special weapons are more expensive than both.

After searching for a while, Fang Xi picked up a ‘Green Turtle Shield’ on a stall!
“This shield is made of a first-grade medium-quality spirit turtle shell as the main material, and it also comes with a ‘Water Element Shield’ spell. Sixty spirit stones are really not expensive!”

The stall owner was a monk with two rat-like whiskers. There was a shrewd look in his eyes. He praised this mid-grade magic weapon to the sky, saying that it was comparable to the legendary magic weapon.

Fang Xi bargained hard: “The Water Elemental Shield is just a common item. Apart from being a little more effective against fire spells, what else is it good for? I’ll buy it if you reduce the price by five more spirit stones!”

It’s not that I really care about these spirit stones, but the character of a Qi-refining cultivator needs to be established.

Just as Fang Xi was talking until his mouth was dry, a series of crisp bell sounds suddenly rang in his ears.

Ding-a-ling…

“Fang Daoyou!”

Ruan Xingling’s voice was as clear as a silver bell: “Looking for a magic weapon?”

“Yeah… not recently… so I’m planning to change to a better protective weapon.” Fang Xi was deliberately vague about his words, but Ruan Xingling knew that the other party was preparing for the upcoming war.

“The quality of the magic tools sold here is just average…”

Ruan Xingling shook her head.

“My fellow comrade, how can you slander someone’s innocence out of thin air?” The stall owner with a rat-like moustache was not happy.

“This Green Turtle Shield has a missing vein… Look here, there are traces of repairs… Is it a second-hand refurbished one?”

Ruan Xingling pointed at a few places and sneered.

“This…how about making it cheaper, forty spirit stones?” The monk with rat whiskers knew that he had met an expert, so he changed his words.

“I bought it!”

Fang Xi’s eyes immediately lit up.

“make a deal!”

The stall owner’s eyes lit up. He didn’t expect that he could make a deal.

…

After the two of them finished their transaction, Ruan Xingling, who was watching quietly, said, “Daoyou, if you want to exchange for fine artifacts, why don’t you go to the auction? I have booked a private room…”

The items sold at the auction are naturally high-quality items.

Fang Xi smiled bitterly and refused, “This magic weapon has almost exhausted my fortune. As for the auction, it can only broaden my horizons…”

In fact, he had hidden his identity early on and secretly booked a private box, but he didn’t need to tell Ruan Xingling about this.

After all, wealth should not be shown off, even if this woman is in cahoots with you!

“In this case, I will not force you.”

Ruan Xingling left slowly, the silver bells on her body swaying in the wind from time to time.

She had a hunch that Fang Xi had some little secret. After all, it was a bit beyond the norm for a spiritual farmer to spend money in a teahouse one after another and even dream of becoming a landlord.

But everyone has made a vow, and knowing that we are helping now is enough.

…

The day the auction begins.

In the sky, various magical lights flickered.

One after another, spirit boats came from the sky and anchored at the edge of the market town.

There are also immortal cultivators riding spirit beasts and riding flying swords, with their long sleeves fluttering in the wind, looking like immortals.

“Oh my goodness… Look over there, are those the flying boats of the three largest families among the Thirty-Six Islands, the Taishu, Yuchi, and Xiahou families?”

“Even Yu Lingzi, the master of the Great Perfection among the independent cultivators, has come.”

“I’m afraid this auction will alarm the Zhong family’s ancestors. Without a foundation-building cultivator, it will be impossible to suppress it…”

…

Amid the discussions in the crowd, Fang Xi transformed himself into a square-faced, high-spirited man and strode towards Longmen Pavilion.

Along the way, Zhong family members wearing black flying fish robes could be seen everywhere maintaining order.

“Hello, distinguished guest. Please show me your invitation!”

In front of Longmen Pavilion, Zhong Wangu saw a burly man in blue clothes walking towards him with the gait of a dragon and a tiger. He was so frightened that he thought to himself, what a great man! He must be a powerful physical cultivator, but he still uttered a formatted welcome.

“Give!”

Fang Xi took out the invitation card that he had bought at a high price.

“So you are the distinguished guest in the box. Please follow me to Room No. 16!”

Zhong Wangu took the invitation and immediately took Fang Xi to a row of private rooms.

After opening the door, the sound of running water could be heard.

There was a pond built inside the box, connected to the outside world through a canal, and carp with scales like jade were swimming around in it.

“Dear guest, this is my family’s Qingyu Carp!” Zhong Wangu smiled and said, “For every distinguished guest in the box, our family will send a plate of fish sashimi…”

“good.”

Fang Xi sat down, thinking to himself that this family was indeed a foundation-building family that started out by selling fish, as they never forgot to promote the spiritual fish.

“Here is the bidding lottery. If you are interested in a certain item, you can write down the amount and give it to the spirit fish, which will then carry it to the headquarters… There will be no risk of leaks!”

Zhong Wangu explained again.

Fang Xi then realized that this auction was actually held in a secret bidding mode, and the highest bidder would win in the end.

“That’s right… openly bidding a price would really provoke too much hatred.”

“With this kind of secret shooting mode, even if you get the objects, you won’t know who is human and who is a ghost…”

‘From this, it can be seen that the conflicts between the major immortal cultivation forces in Wandao Lake are not intense, and the Zhong family has no intention of provoking a war… This is a good thing! ‘

Wandao Lake is the right choice.

Fang Xi sat cross-legged with great satisfaction.

Zhong Wangu bowed and left. Not long after, the scene of the auction stage appeared in a bronze mirror inside the box.

On the auction table, there was a wealthy middle-aged man with a big smile on his face, saying some polite words in a friendly manner.

“I am Zhong Wanjun from the Zhong family! Hello fellow Taoists, this auction will be hosted by me, I hope you can buy what you like…”

Although this person looks very good at dancing, his cultivation is overflowing with spiritual energy, and he has reached the state of perfection in the tenth level of Qi Refining!

Fang Xi closed his eyes and waited for an incense stick before hearing a gong ring. The auction officially began!
“Small Barrier Breaking Pill… used to break through the bottleneck from the middle to late stage of Qi Refining. Suitable for cultivators of all kinds of cultivation methods. Starting price: 400 Spiritual Stones!”

Zhong Wanjun described the ingredients and origin of this small barrier-breaking pill… and which famous alchemy master made it. It was surprisingly interesting and not awkward at all.

At this time, Fang Xi also saw the fortune stick at hand.

If you like this Barrier Breaking Pill, you can write down the price you want and give it to Qing Yuli.

In the end, the highest bidder wins, and everyone settles their accounts when they leave.

“Not bad, not bad… In this way, apart from the Zhong family itself, the possibility of leakage is very small…”

“Maybe I can buy some more?”

Fang Xi counted his storage bag and found that there were still 387 spirit stones.

“Well… I’m still poor and can’t even afford the base price…”

He smiled bitterly and continued watching the show.

“The Blue Fire Sword… a first-class, top-grade magical weapon, newly minted, extremely sharp, with a ‘Fire Magic’ attached, starting price 150 Spirit Stones…”

“A first-class defensive talisman – the Vajra Talisman! It can withstand a full-strength attack from a cultivator who has reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. It is truly a top-grade talisman for protecting one’s body and life! The starting price is forty spirit stones…”

…

As expected, every item in the auction was a fine product, making Fang Xi feel that the trip was well worthwhile.

However, although these items are good, they are still a level lower than the “Small Barrier-Breaking Pill” that created a sensation at the beginning.

This is also a common tactic used by merchants. They start with small boutique items, then ship out large quantities, create surprises from time to time, and the last item to be auctioned is the finale.

When the Vajra Talisman appeared, Fang Xi casually filled out a lottery ticket with a value of one hundred low-grade spirit stones and gave it to Carp, just for fun.

The carp was swimming very fast with the fortune stick in its mouth.

While tasting the spirit fish meat, he also appreciated the items on auction, which enriched his knowledge.

After a moment, Zhong Wanjun introduced another item:
“A heavy sword made of meteorite iron from outer space!”

He struggled to lift up a large black sword to show it. The sword was two meters long and as wide as an adult’s palm, and looked like a door panel.

The most crucial thing is that with Zhong Wanjun’s cultivation level, even though he is not a physical cultivator, his arms are quite strong, and he actually looks a bit strenuous when lifting the sword.

“Huhu… This sword is made of meteorite iron from outer space. This meteorite iron has strange properties. It cannot allow magic power to pass through it, nor can it imprint magic arrays. However, it is extremely hard… Later, a weapon refiner found another way to melt it into this heavy sword. It weighs two hundred and thirty-six kilograms. The blade is extremely sharp and extremely strong. Even a top-grade magic weapon can hardly damage it…”

“After appraisal, this pavilion believes that this sword is at least comparable to a top-grade magic weapon and is more suitable for physical cultivation… The starting price is 200 spirit stones!”

…

After listening to the description, Fang Xi’s eyes lit up.

He is also a physical practitioner!

Hitting people with fists alone is indeed a bit lacking in meaning, so this sword is just right for him.

As for the weight?

Since becoming a grandmaster, his arms have become so strong that he can lift rocks weighing several tons with ease.

“Just fill in 300… Oops, I don’t have enough spirit stones. Never mind. At worst, I can use monster materials to pay off the debt.”

Fang Xi quickly filled in the numbers and handed them to Lingyu.

According to his experience, there aren’t many physical cultivators in Baochuanfang City, so there shouldn’t be many people fighting for it.

At this time, Zhong Wanjun on the stage picked up another jade bottle and introduced: “A bottle of red ape blood essence. This red ape is a first-class upper-grade monster. Don’t look at it as just a small bottle. In fact, it is the essence of its entire body blood… The starting price is three hundred and fifty spirit stones!”

“Is this… one of the several types of blood essence recommended for practicing the third level of Ten Thousand Beasts Body?”

Fang Xi, who had purchased the jade slips of the relevant exercises, immediately recalled them, and his eyes became somewhat dangerous: “This Zhong family… is it possible that they are fishing? Even fishing for me?”
