Chapter 45 The auction begins, the spirit-nourishing pill

One month passed in the blink of an eye.

In the room, Li Changsheng was meditating with his eyes closed. At this moment, Li Changan's voice came from outside the door.

"Ninth brother, today is the time for the auction, so don't be late."

After hearing this, Li Changsheng opened his eyes, exhaled a breath, and then opened the door.

"Fifth brother, seventh brother, you all want to go?"

I saw Li Changan and Li Changqi standing outside.

Li Changan smiled bitterly and said: "Yesterday, I bought a pot of green liquid brew for the sixth elder, and he gave me and the seventh brother a day off."

This was also thanks to the spiritual stone rewarded by Li Daoling, otherwise he would not have been able to part with it.

Everyone in the Li family has their own tasks and is not allowed to leave their posts at will. Even if it is an auction, their own business cannot be delayed.

As the person in charge of the store, Li Tongshan is responsible for the store's revenue every year. Li Changan and Li Changqi are his people. Even Li Daoling won't say anything about this. They want to leave without his approval.

At this time, Li Daoling came over with Li Tongtian and several other clan elders.

"Let's go! After attending the auction, we are ready to return to our clan."

Li Changsheng and three juniors immediately followed.

Today was the day of the auction, and there was a huge flow of people on the street. Less than half an hour later, they followed the crowd to a huge palace in the northwest corner of Fang City.

The shape of the palace is like a cone, with a pointed upper part and a rounded lower part. It has three floors. The whole building is made of black rocks, which looks very simple and heavy. The edges of the palace walls are inlaid with various crystal stones, emitting a faint fluorescent light. This is The venue for the auction.

The palace has a total of two entrances, one team of Qi-refining monks and one team of Foundation-building monks. There is a Foundation-Building monk standing at each entrance. Apparently Lihuo Sect was afraid of any accidents and sent a Foundation-Building monk to guard the door.

Li Changsheng discovered that there was actually a fee to enter the auction house. The same price for refining Qi and building a foundation was free. He didn't know if Li Huo Sect was obsessed with money. The entrance fee could no longer satisfy the Li Huo Sect's appetite. There were still more charges here. Pay once.

Soon it was his turn. He just complained in his heart and still lost a spiritual stone. Although one spiritual stone was less, it couldn't handle the large number of people. The Lihuo Sect alone made a lot of money.

After a while, several people entered the palace. It was huge, as big as a football field.

Afterwards, they were taken to a seven to eight-foot-sized room on the second floor by a maid in blue.

The palace has three floors, and only powerful cultivating immortal families can stay in the private rooms. Li Daoling is now at the stage of Foundation Establishment and is only one step away from the golden elixir, so he is naturally qualified. Li Changsheng and the others are from the same clan and have gained a little glory.

In the middle of the hall on the first floor is a circular platform more than two feet high. The platform is surrounded by green seats, and it is already full of people.

"Oh, it's better to have strength!"

Li Changan picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Looking at the monks in the hall, he couldn't help but sigh.

Li Changsheng also felt the same. He was not strong enough, and even the spirit stones were useless. He could only stay in the hall and look up at others, unlike them now, each holding a cup of tea and looking down.

"Boom!"

A huge bell rang through the hall, and everyone immediately fell silent.

"Whoosh!"

A sound broke through the air, and a graceful, sexy and charming woman was seen floating on the high platform of the hall. Judging from the fluctuations of spiritual energy emitted by her, it was obvious that she was a foundation-building monk, and her cultivation level was not low.

"First of all, I would like to welcome all fellow Taoists to attend the auction held once every hundred years by our Lihuo Sect. This is also a grand gathering for the monks of our Liusha Islands. I, Zhou Ying, am very happy to host this auction on behalf of the Lihuo Sect. I The old rules for this auction are that the one with the highest price will win. Taoist friends who don’t have enough spiritual stones can use their treasures as collateral or auction them on the spot.”

Zhou Ying's voice was not loud, but everyone in the venue could hear it. It was obvious that a sound transmission spell was used.

"Okay, no more nonsense, let's take a look at the first auction item."

Zhou Ying was also a resolute woman. The ring on her hand lit up with a glow, and a sword box about ten feet long appeared in her hand.

With a squeeze of her magic formula, nine gleaming flying swords flew around her, exuding a fierce aura.

After everyone had seen it, she put away the flying sword, and then said: "A complete set of first-class high-grade flying swords. Nine handles in one can cut down the foundation. The starting price is one thousand spirit stones, and each increase must not be less than five." ten."

The market price of a first-level low-grade magic weapon is around forty or fifty, while the price of a mid-grade magic weapon is doubled, and that of a high-grade magic weapon is doubled again.

"one thousand!"

"One thousand one hundred!"

…

Li Changsheng felt a little moved when he saw this set of flying swords, but he still didn't bid. He was about to build a foundation and it wouldn't take long to buy it.

Soon, this set of flying swords was snapped up by a foundation-building monk on the second floor for three thousand spirit stones. The value of the complete set of magic weapons was still relatively high, no less than the second-level low-grade spiritual weapons.

Zhou Ying had a bright smile on her face, obviously very satisfied with the price. If it weren't for the auction, it would be good to sell for two thousand.

Then the ring on her hand flashed again, and a red jade box appeared in her hand. She opened the jade box and took out a stack of red talismans.

"A complete set of talismans, a first-class top-grade Flying Fire Talisman. The starting price is three hundred spirit stones. Each increase in price must not be less than fifty."

Most of the talismans are disposable items, so their value is far less than that of elixirs and magic weapons. However, the advantages of talismans are that they are easy to use and low in value, and they have always been loved by monks.

"Three hundred and five!"

"Four hundred!"

"Six hundred!"

…

The price continued to rise, and finally, it was bought by a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator in the hall for 850 spiritual stones.

"Five hundred-year-old Qinggang wood is an excellent material for refining second-level flying swords. The starting price is 800, and each increase in price must not be less than 50."

"Nine hundred!"

"One thousand!"

"One thousand and two!"

Finally, this piece of spiritual wood was bought by a foundation-building cultivator for 2,000.

Next, Zhou Ying took out various magic tools, elixirs, talismans and other treasures in succession. The lowest grade was the first-level upper grade, all of which were useful treasures for Qi Refining cultivators, and the atmosphere of the auction gradually became heated.

During this period, several elders of the Li family also bought some items they could use, mostly magic tools and talismans. Li Changan and Li Changqi also bought a few talismans.

At this time, Zhou Ying saw a black jade bottle in her hand, and then introduced: "The first-grade top-grade elixir, the Yangshen Pill, can appropriately increase the spiritual awareness of the Qi Refining cultivator. There are nine pills in a bottle, and they will be auctioned separately. The starting price of each pill is 90 yuan, and each bid must not be less than 10 yuan."

Li Changsheng's eyes lit up. He thought there was nothing he needed, but he didn't expect it to be here, so he immediately opened his bid.

"One hundred!"

"One hundred and two!"

"One hundred and fifty!"

...

In the end, Li Changsheng bid for the first Yangshen Pill at a high price of 250 yuan. In the store, the most is about 150 yuan, which is more expensive than a top-grade magic weapon, but as long as he needs it, he will buy it no matter how expensive it is.

Li Changsheng didn't bid for the rest. For any elixir, the first pill has the greatest effect, and the second pill has half the effect. Although taking a few more pills can also increase the effect a little, he is unwilling to buy different experiences at the same price.

Soon, the remaining eight pills were all auctioned off, with the highest price being 280 yuan. Li Changan spent 200 yuan to buy one pill, but Li Changqi seemed to be short of money and did not bid.

The two had different statuses. Li Changan was a technician, while Li Changqi was just a salesman. Most of his spirit stones were used to buy Qi-refining pills for cultivation. As long as his cultivation level improved, his status would naturally improve.

Moreover, he did not need to fight or refine weapons, so it was good for him to cultivate peacefully. As long as the Li family was not destroyed, he would naturally be protected from worries in this life and save spirit stones for the next generation. The image of Li Changqi also represented the epitome of the bottom cultivators in the world of cultivation.
