Chapter 172: Melted Water Bead
“If we Foundation Establishment monks can possess an Alchemy Magical Artifact, we can cross levels to challenge, and we can almost walk sideways within the same level. However, Alchemy is extremely rare, and Foundation Establishment It is almost impossible for monks to obtain it, but the "Alchemy Refining Technique" gives everyone countless possibilities to obtain it from low level. After a lot of accumulation, you can extract a drop of elixir from the demon elixir of a level demon beast. Well, the starting price is 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones, and each increase must not be less than 1,000!"
As soon as Alchemist Xu finished speaking, many monks present started talking loudly. Lu Xiaotian was furious, refining the art of alchemy. For any foundation-building monk to possess a Danyuan magic weapon, it almost represents a huge surge in strength. What surprised him was that the starting price was so low for such a secret technique. He glanced at all the bidders present, and two of the most powerful monks seemed to have a sneer on their faces.
Is there something fishy in this "Alchemy Refining Technique"? Lu Xiaotian thought for a moment, and the price had already risen to 30,000 low-grade spiritual stones.
No matter, even if there is something fishy, let’s get this secret skill first. Lu Xiaotian also joined the bidding, "Thirty-five thousand!"
The price was suddenly increased by five thousand, and many monks present looked at him sideways. However, some people still refused to give up. After a while of entanglement, Lu Xiaotian got the "Alchemy Refining Technique" for thirty-nine thousand.
However, when I read it, I realized why two powerful foundation-building monks sneered. The refining method alone was so expensive, and the required materials were even more expensive. Astronomical figures. It is possible to extract a drop of elixir essence from at least thousands of demon elixirs from the same kind of demon beast. The monsters in the Wangyue Mountains are extremely mixed. Even if he finds such a large number of monsters of the same kind, the time spent is probably not something he can afford.
Take this as a lesson. After spending so many spiritual stones in vain and buying a secret technique that had little practical use, Lu Xiaotian was inevitably depressed. But something that made him even more depressed soon appeared again.
"Well, the alchemy refining technique is indeed rare, but if you can buy the alchemy directly, it will inevitably save a lot of effort. Now we offer a drop of water-attributed alchemy, with a starting price of 100,000 low-grade spiritual stones. Each bid increase must not be less than 10,000." Alchemist Xu also seemed to think that the secret technique just now was a bit misleading, and there was an unnatural look on his face when he put the alchemy out for auction.
Bad San! Lu Xiaotian cursed in his heart. He first bought a copy of the "Alchemy Refining Technique" that had no practical use, and after others sold it, he immediately took out a drop of Dan Yuan to sell. Isn't this a scam? However, although he was annoyed in his heart, he couldn't express it in person. After all, no one forced anyone to do the transaction, and the status of the other party's mid-level alchemist was at least higher than his current one.
"Alchemy! As long as I have this drop of Danyuan, I will have an Alchemy Magical Artifact! Fifteen thousand!" All the foundation-building monks present suddenly fell into a semi-crazy situation, and they directly increased the price by 150,000 at the beginning. .
“Two hundred thousand!”
Lu Xiaotian, who originally had some thoughts about Dan Yuan, couldn’t help but be speechless when he heard this kind of bidding. Of course, even with such a high price, he could It's just a drop of water-based elixir. Even if he buys it now, it won't be of use, and it will take up a lot of spiritual stones. It's not a good deal. He has Blazing Flame Crystals on his body, so if he were to fight for a fire elixir, it would be fine.
After thinking about it for a while, Lu Xiaotian gave up the bidding directly. At this time, the price of this drop of water alchemy has soared to 390,000. After a lot of fighting, the person in front of him with a beard who built the eighth floor of the foundation bought him for an astonishing price of 490,000 yuan.
Like many people before him, this bearded man left directly after trading the alchemy. He was not afraid of thieves but was afraid that thieves would miss him. Even if he was a monk with an eighth-level foundation, once he was targeted, Even if you go up, you may not be able to keep this drop of water-based elixir.
Next, the Foundation Building Pill appeared, and even a Beauty Pill appeared, once again pushing the entire auction to a peak. However, except for one or two things, Lu Xiaotian didn't care too much about these. As for the Zhuyan Pill, before setting off from Lingxiao Palace, he not only refined a large number of Peiyuan Pills, but also tried several furnaces of Zhuyan Pills. , after taking one pill by myself, there are still two pills in the pill bottle. He had tried to refine the Return to Heaven Pill several times, but perhaps because his alchemy skills were still limited, he had not yet been able to successfully refine it. I had considered leaving Lingxiao Palace soon, so I didn't continue.
“Okay, the auction has come to an end now, but after all, only a few people can take pictures of what they want. Fellow Taoists sitting here can each take out their spiritual objects and communicate with peers. , maybe you can get something unexpected." A lot of the auctions were sold at astonishingly high prices. Master Xu was so happy that he knocked down the hammer and announced that the auction had entered the final stage of free exchange.
Compared with the auction in Chifeng Town, it was much richer, and there was an additional link of free trading between the foundation-building monks. Even in Lingxiao Palace, there is rarely an opportunity for such a large number of foundation-building monks to gather together. Moreover, the spiritual objects of the same sect are often somewhat monotonous. At this time, the monks at the auction come from all over the world, so that they can truly communicate with each other.
“I want to buy a Foundation Establishment Pill, and I am willing to exchange it for 400-year-old Broken Cloud Grass. If you don’t have a Foundation Establishment Pill, please don’t bother me!”
“Fourth Level Spirit Tiger A puppet, only used in exchange for high-grade fire spiritual stones, or pills that can quickly restore mana, nothing else!"
A fourth-level puppet with combat power equivalent to that of a foundation-building monk. Lu Xiaotian was startled. He walked up to the fourth-level spiritual tiger puppet and looked at it carefully for a while. He opened his mouth and asked, "Can I get a middle-grade spiritual stone?"
"Didn't you hear that I want a high-grade fire-type spiritual stone? Damn you, there is no place to block other people." His face was full of anger. When the big man saw that Lu Xiaotian was just a newcomer in the early stages of the construction period, he glared and said without politeness at all.
“Can the elixir that quickly restores mana, the Yuan Yuan Dan, be good?” A bald middle-aged man with a seventh-level construction came over and asked.
"Sorry, at least half of the mana must be restored in a short period of time." The muscles on the face of the muscular man twitched, but seeing that the bald man's cultivation level was much higher than him, he suppressed his temper and said .
Hui Yuan Dan can indeed restore mana quickly, but the speed is not faster than the middle-grade spiritual stone. It is completely useless and can be used by monks in the Qi refining stage. However, this muscular man can actually hold back his temper. , is obviously also a master who bullies the weak and fears the strong. People with the same people have different fates. Lu Xiaotian shook his head and walked away. He really wanted to take possession of this puppet beast that was comparable to a foundation-building monk, but unfortunately he didn't have what the other party wanted. He does have some high-grade spiritual stones on his body, but there are only a few of the fire-type ones, and they can't be exchanged at all. Without hope, Lu Xiaotian could only go elsewhere and visited many houses one after another. Most of them asked for some kind of elixir or other spiritual herbs in exchange for spiritual herbs. Lu Xiaotian now only has the Peiyuan Pill for the foundation building period. Although the Zhuyan Pill is extremely precious, under normal circumstances, he does not intend to exchange it.
Because hundreds of foundation-building monks each took out things to sell, or selected each other, the entire auction site was in a mess, just like a vegetable market.
“Melted water beads can allow people to swim under deep water for two hours, disguise their breath as water monsters, and greatly increase the speed of traveling underwater. Used in exchange for two hundred Pei. Yuan Dan, one hundred pills are required to be of the middle grade." In front of a young man in brocade with high cheekbones, a transparent bead filled with water aura and monster aura was placed.
"The water-melting beads only have the function of concealing camouflage in the water. In exchange for two hundred Yuan-Pui Dan, half of them are middle-grade. I'm afraid there are still some shortcomings. And even for an alchemist, it is difficult to Take out this amount of Peiyuan Dan at once.”
Lu Xiaotian frowned and looked at the molten water bead in front of him. This molten water bead does have some tricks. Although it is not needed in most cases, it can come in handy in some specific environments. Of course, this is also He has more Peiyuan Dan in his body, so he is a little moved. If the price can be cut down a bit, it can be purchased.
"If fellow Taoist is interested, you can use less, or you can use low-grade Peiyuan Dan."
It took a lot of time and energy for the young man with high cheekbones to kill a water monster. I originally wanted to sell this melted water bead for a good price, but I didn't expect that the way of using the melted water bead was rather unorthodox. In addition, his asking price was relatively high, so few people were interested. So after Lu Xiaotian asked, he immediately lowered the threshold. It took him more than two years to ambush and kill the fourth-level black water salamander. If he could get back two hundred Yuan-Pui Dan for cultivation, he would be able to make up for the time he spent.
He is a person who is not too scheming. Before he opened his mouth, he heard that the other party had taken the initiative to lower the price by a large amount. Lu Xiaotian smiled inwardly, but the world of immortality is a cruel place. You can’t just because the other party is not scheming. It was deep and had no concession at all, and this molten water bead was indeed a bit off-the-beaten-path. He only bought it when he thought it might be useful in the future, so he said with a somewhat embarrassed expression.
"One hundred and twenty low-grade Peiyuan Pills."
"Is that possible? I spent more than two years hunting this fourth-level black water demon salamander. Time, one hundred and twenty pills is too little, absolutely not, one hundred and fifty pills." The young man with high cheekbones shook his head quickly.
"You hunted and killed a fourth-level monster. The valuable thing is not just a molten water bead. I believe you also made a lot of money. I only have one hundred and forty low-grade Yuan-Pui Yuan Pills on me. Do you think it's worth it? , I can’t help it,” Lu Xiaotian shrugged.
"This, okay, okay." After the young man with high cheekbones hesitated for a while, he saw that no one else around him was interested in his molten water bead. Even though he was somewhat reluctant, he could only Agreed.
There are still more than ten days left in Wangyue City. It seems that we will have to refine a few more batches of elixirs in the future. Lu Xiaotian put away the molten water beads and thought to himself that his demand for elixirs was much higher than that of normal monks. Most monks with deep family backgrounds could only take one Yuan Yuan Dan a day, which is already good. As for ordinary foundation-building monks with little background, they simply cannot reach this ratio. However, in order not to waste his training time, Lu Xiaotian would take three pills every day and try his best to save his training time. After all, the speed at which he absorbed and refined the spiritual energy in the air was too slow. Without pills, it is very difficult to increase one level of cultivation.
"Seven Star Array! Used in exchange for a fourth-level God Weaver Pill, or a pill with the same magical effect of healing spiritual consciousness, plus two hundred thousand low-grade spiritual stones, or an equivalent foundation-building pill. , Pei Yuan Dan." After looking at some of the spiritual objects put out by the foundation-building monks, either Lu Xiaotian didn't like them, or he didn't have what they asked for. At the end, he saw the previous bid for the Weaving God Wood. A set of formations laid out by the failed bald old man. At the same time, his eyes swept back and forth in front of the spiritual objects placed by other foundation-building monks, but in the end he could only look away in disappointment.
The most notorious seven-star formation among the fourth-level killing formations, Lu Xiaotian’s face was extremely moved. He had already experienced the magical effect of the formation. As early as when he was still in the middle stage of Qi refining, he formed it in the Wangyue Mountains. When the team was looking for spiritual beings to join the sect, he was able to escape with the help of a set of Wuyuan formations.
However, the conditions for using the Seven Killing Formation are also extremely demanding. In addition to the consumption of spiritual stones of the Seven Star Formation itself, once used, the consciousness must be severely damaged. Only the Weaving God Pill or the extremely rare Spiritual Consciousness Repair Pill of the same level can be used. Medicine can restore it. Before the spiritual consciousness is repaired, even if it is a foundation-building cultivation level, it would be good to be able to exert the strength of the middle stage of Qi refining. As for the cultivation during the Qi refining period, this kind of killing array cannot be used at all.
Therefore, although the Seven Star Formation is extremely powerful, few formation masters have refined it, and the cost of using it is too high. Divine consciousness elixirs such as the God Weaver Pill and the Soul Nourishing Pill are even rarer than the Foundation Establishment Pill. . Otherwise, a sacred weaving tree would not be able to sell for tens of thousands of spirit stones. After all, it would most likely be useless if used to refine elixirs.
However, this seven-star array is quite suitable for his own use. Lu Xiaotian was pleasantly surprised. He had divided the main and deputy souls. Even if the deputy souls were damaged, it would not affect his combat, and he could refine it more. Use some soul-nourishing pills to repair the damaged deputy spirit. It's just that for such a large transaction, it's not appropriate for him, a monk in the early stages of foundation building, to do it in front of so many people.
Lu Xiaotian thought about it for a while, then kept wandering near the bald old man. One after another, some more foundation-building monks looked at the seven-star array, but they all shook their heads and left with a sigh. If there were not those harsh conditions, even being fired for nearly one million spiritual stones would be possible.
After about half an hour, the bald old man saw that so many foundation-building monks were present and had no intention of trading with him, or maybe they didn’t have what he wanted. The bald old man looked dejected, sighed and left first. Lu Xiaotian naturally followed along.
"This fellow Taoist, who has followed me from the auction all the way here, is he interested in the seven-star array in my hand?" After walking a few streets, the bald old man turned into a small alley with relatively few pedestrians, and suddenly turned around to look. Lu Xiaotiandao.
