Chapter 217 The Auction Begins
To complete the transaction, Lu Chengan and the Jindan monk each need to pay a handling fee of 500 spiritual stones, and the other party also needs to pay 500 spiritual stones.
This means that every time two Jindan monks complete a transaction, Jingu Zhenren can harvest a thousand spiritual stones.
Don’t underestimate this amount. If all the golden elixir monks were like Lu Chengan and had traded with many golden elixir monks, Lu Chengan alone would have to pay nearly 10,000 spiritual stones.
After Lu Chengan completed all the transactions with other Jindan monks, Master Gu Hong hurried back. He was afraid that Lu Chengan would leave suddenly.
Master Gu Hong brought two third-order top-grade spiritual flames and one third-order top-grade fire demon. The value of these three spiritual materials is comparable to the value of the Hanyue Divine Sand.
After Lu Chengan completed the transaction with Zhenren Guhong, he did not stay longer in Jinguzhai. He and Shi Ningyu quickly left Jinguzhai.
"The two of us have made a big splash at the trade fair this time. We have been targeted by many Jindan monks. We need to get rid of them as soon as possible!"
Lu Chengan Secretly communicating with Shi Ningyu, the distance between him and Shi Ningyu slowly widened. At the same time, the two of them secretly used the small shape-changing technique, a small magical power, to slowly change their breath, body shape and facial features.
Lu Chengan and the other two have cultivated the small magical power of Shapeshifting to the level of Dacheng. Unless they are monks above the Nascent Soul realm, they will not be able to see through the details of the two of them.
Even though it is already late at night, the Poison Marsh Fairy City is still crowded with people.
After Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu separated, they blended into the crowd. They relied on the small magical power of Shapeshifting to quickly avoid the monks who were following them.
Soon after, Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu returned to the cave they rented, but it was no longer the same cave they rented before.
The two of them were well prepared when they entered the Poisonous Marsh Fairy City and rented three temporary caves in different locations in the Poisonous Marsh Fairy City in order to cope with the current situation.
“There are really not many good-hearted Jindan monks in Poison Marsh Fairy City. The spiritual materials traded with them all have tracking methods left behind by them!” Lu Chengan said angrily.
"Have all the tracking methods they left behind been resolved?" Shi Ningyu asked with a frown.
“I collected all those materials into the Cangqiong Palace, which was enough to isolate them all from tracking. However, Gu Hong and Jin Gu also left tracking methods on me. It took me a lot of effort to It took a lot of time to resolve it!”
These two people are both Jindan monks who have lived in Poisonous Marsh Fairy City for a long time, so naturally they are not good people.
Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu were only at the early stage of Jindan cultivation, and showing so much wealth naturally made them very excited.
It’s a pity that they didn’t know the strength of Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu. Although the tracking object they left on Lu Chengan was extremely secretive, it was still noticed by Lu Chengan immediately.
This kind of tracking object is usually some kind of divine mark. It may not be easy for Lu Chengan to resolve it by other means, but it is relatively easy for him to resolve the divine mark.
Although his and Shi Ningyu's cultivation levels are in the early stage of the Golden Core, their spiritual power is more powerful than many monks in the middle stage of the Golden Core.
It didn’t take long for Lu Chengan to dissolve the mark of spiritual consciousness left by Master Jingu. However, the difference between Master Guhong’s cultivation level and that of Lu Chengan was too big. It took Lu Chengan a lot of time to break the mark of spiritual consciousness left by him. It took effort to resolve it.
This experience also gave Lu Chengan a sense of urgency. When he bought the soul-nourishing treasure from the auction half a month later, he immediately began to practice the Great Sun Soul Refining Technique, the secret of the soul. technique.
The secret art of soul refining, the Great Sun Soul Refining Technique, is much more powerful than the Xuyang Soul Strengthening Technique. It can make the soul grow rapidly.
The cultivation process is relatively dangerous, so Lu Chengan has not started practicing this secret technique of the soul until now.
“Our gains this time are not small, but we still lack a lot of materials. We will continue to participate in the trade fair among the Jindan monks in Poison Marsh Fairy City, but we need to act separately in the subsequent trade fairs. The two of us The goal of being together is too big!" Lu Chengan said in a deep voice.
There are many golden elixir cultivators in Poison Marsh Fairy City, but not many couples are both golden elixir cultivators.
Fortunately, they have mastered the art of changing shape to a great level. Even if they are prone to forming monks of the opposite gender, it is difficult for other monks to see it.
But for the sake of safety, it is better for them to act alone, so that the target will be relatively smaller.
Shi Ningyu naturally had no objection.
After discussing, Lu Chengan and the two first sorted out what they had gained from the trade fair, and then left the cave respectively to start looking for new underground trade fairs to participate in.
The golden elixir monks who hold trade fairs in Poison Marsh Fairy City hope that more monks in the golden elixir realm will participate in the underground trade fairs they hold, which can bring them more income.
Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu are both monks in the golden elixir realm. They don’t even need to take the initiative to speak. After showing their cultivation in the golden elixir realm, the monks who hold underground trade fairs will take the initiative to invite them.
Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu did not refuse this invitation. During the period when the large-scale auction in Poison Marsh Fairy City began, they participated in nearly ten trade fairs.
This has brought them a lot of harvest, and the materials required for refining magic weapons and practicing minor magical powers have been basically collected.
During this period, they also used small shape-shifting techniques to change nearly ten identities without revealing their true identities.
Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and soon there was less than one day left before the large-scale auction in Poison Marsh Fairy City began.
At this time, both Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu received invitations to participate in the auction. The invitations also included various items that would appear in the auction.
Several materials they lack will appear at the auction. These are the materials for refining magic weapons.
Although relatively rare, the quality is not high, and their starting prices are relatively low.
"This auction of Poison Marsh Fairy City will auction a dozen foundation-building spiritual objects. Should we take action on these foundation-building spiritual objects?" Lu Chengan asked with a frown.
They have just obtained a lot of Five Elements Spirit Fruits, and now both the Lu Family and the Alchemy Cauldron Sect have no shortage of foundation-building spiritual objects.
But the Lu family and the Danding Sect will definitely flourish in the future, and there will be a huge demand for foundation-building spiritual objects.
In ten more years at most, those foundation-building spiritual objects will be completely exhausted.
The third-level mid-grade Five Elements Spirit Fruit Tree has now been successfully transplanted to Chiyan Mountain. Although it has survived successfully, it has also lost a lot of vitality and will take several years to recover.
This third-level mid-grade Five Elements Spirit Fruit tree will take thirty years for new Five Elements Spirit Fruit to mature, and the Lu Family and the Alchemy Sect certainly cannot wait that long.
Now there will be more than ten foundation-building spiritual objects in the auction of Poison Marsh Fairy City, which is an opportunity for them. Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu are both Golden Core monks. The two of them took photos of several foundation-building spiritual objects, which would not attract the prying eyes of other Golden Core monks.
"Then let's each take photos of two foundation-building spiritual objects!" Shi Ningyu said.
There must be a lot of golden elixir monks in Poison Marsh Fairy City who are interested in those foundation-building spiritual objects. They will have to stop taking pictures of two foundation-building spiritual objects at most, otherwise they may cause dissatisfaction with other golden elixir monks.
Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu had a serious discussion before the auction started. After confirming the items to be auctioned, they left the cave and went to another one he rented. A cave.
The day passed quickly, and at this time, the large-scale auction held every six months in Poison Marsh Fairy City was also held as scheduled.
The auction house in Poison Marsh Fairy City is very large. It is a circular auction house, large enough to accommodate thousands of people.
The circular center of the auction room is the auction table, and surrounding the auction table are rows of seats.
Above these uncovered seats, there are closed rooms. These rooms are also auction venues. The monks can have an overview of the entire auction house in the room, which is the best position in the entire auction house.
Only monks at the Golden Core realm can enter these rooms, and they must be wealthy enough.
Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu both meet this condition. Their current net worth is extremely rich, even though they have spent a lot of resources in previous underground trade fairs.
But these were all obtained from Ding Heng’s six golden elixir bandit cultivators, and now they still have a lot of things left that they have not taken action on.
After Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu entered the auction house, the foundation-building attendants at the auction house led them into their respective rooms.
This time Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu still acted separately.
The space of the room is not large, but the internal structure is quite suppressed. There are spiritual tea and spiritual fruits placed inside.
The attendant did not leave the room, but continued to serve in the room.
Lu Chengan did not wait too long after entering the room. After nearly a moment, a middle-aged man in a gray-white robe appeared on the auction table in the center of the auction house.
The middle-aged man has a slender body and looks very thin, but his cultivation is in the realm of perfect golden elixir.
"Thank you fellow Taoists for coming to participate in this auction. The poor Taoist Li Yufan is known as Qiandu Zhenren!"
The middle-aged man smiled and introduced himself first.
After Lu Chengan knew that this person was the master of Poison Marsh Fairy City, Qiandu Zhenren, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face, and then his eyes involuntarily fell on Qiandu Zhenren.
There are many golden elixir monks in Poison Marsh Fairy City who are like Lu Chengan. They have only heard of the name of Qiandu Master, but have never actually met Qiandu Master.
At the auction, after introducing himself, Master Qiandu introduced the rules of the auction in a very serious manner.
One of the key points emphasized is fair competition, and you cannot use force to suppress others, otherwise you will be liquidated by him personally.
Although Qiandu Zhenren’s cultivation is at the realm of Golden Core Perfection, in Poison Marsh Fairy City, he is able to exert a combat power that is not weaker than that of the early Nascent Soul monks.
So his words carry a lot of weight, and he is also an extremely cruel person.
If any monk dares to openly violate the rules of the auction, he will really kill someone!
After Qiandu Zhenren introduced the rules of the auction, he took out the first lot of the auction without any further delay.
"The first item in this auction is the third-level low-grade golden elixir. I believe that many Taoist friends are here just for this item. The starting price is one hundred thousand spiritual stones, and each increase in price will not be less than one thousand spiritual stones. Start bidding now!”
The moment Master Qiandu’s voice fell, the auction house started to hear calls for bids.
Because Master Qiandu was right, many of the monks who came to participate in the auction this time came for the elixir-forming spiritual objects.
However, those who are bidding now are the monks in the foundation-building realm who are sitting outside. The golden elixir monks who are interested in this golden elixir have not opened their bids yet.
The elixir-forming spiritual object is very likely to create a monk in the golden elixir realm, and its value is evident.
Therefore, in less than a moment, the gold-forming pill soared from the base price of 100,000 spiritual stones to 200,000, a full double.
At this time, the bidding sounds of the foundation-building monks in the auction house outside decreased a lot, and it was only then that the golden elixir monks began to exert their strength.
The net worth of the Golden Core cultivator is much richer than that of the Foundation Establishment monk. The first Golden Core cultivator to bid directly added 10,000 spiritual stones to the original price.
However, this can only scare away those monks who are in the foundation-building realm, but it cannot scare away the monks who are also in the golden elixir realm.
After the Golden Pill cultivator participated in the bidding, he quickly raised the price of the Golden Pill from 200,000 spirit stones to 300,000, and the final transaction price was 340,000!
Lu Chengan smacked his tongue slightly. He didn't expect that Jinjie Dan would fetch such a sky-high price.
If he hadn’t relied on Shi Ningyu to obtain the pill-forming spiritual object when he broke through, otherwise, given the Lu family’s situation, it would have been basically impossible to help him purchase the pill-forming spiritual object!
The first gold-forming elixir instantly set off the entire auction. After the auction of the gold-forming elixir was over, Master Qiandu immediately took out the second auction item.
That is a third-level high-grade defensive weapon. It is also an extremely precious treasure!
Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu have never worried about third-level magic weapons after they broke through to the golden elixir realm, but that was a better opportunity for them.
But for most Jindan monks, they are very short of third-level magic weapons, especially third-level defensive magic weapons.
Therefore, after Qiandu Zhenren took out the third-level top-grade defense piece, it immediately attracted the attention of all the golden elixir monks in the auction house.
The value of the third-level high-grade defensive magic weapon is also very high. Its starting price is as high as 150,000 spiritual stones. When the final auction is over, the transaction price has risen to 480,000 spiritual stones. It is worth hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones than that golden elixir.
After seeing it, Lu Chengan felt quite moved, but he did not feel that his previous decision was wrong, and he did not sell the extra third-level magic weapon in Poison Marsh Fairy City.
This decision is contrary to what they thought before entering Poison Marsh Fairy City. He made such a decision now because he saw the danger of Poison Marsh Fairy City.
If he took out so many third-level magic weapons at once, he would definitely not be able to leave Poison Marsh Fairy City smoothly.
