"Has it been four years already?"
Yun He counted with his fingers and felt a little sad.
At night half a year ago, he successfully completed a breakthrough in his cultivation. He didn't even notice it. It wasn't until he woke up from trance that he realized that he had successfully broken through the barrier.
"This time it did take longer."
He knew the reason very well.
First, it is because some of the energy is allocated to the alchemy path. A person's energy is limited after all, which is why he didn't consider Alchemy Dao after he started practicing Talisman Dao.
The second is that his mind has completely stabilized. He is not in a hurry to make a breakthrough or make further achievements in his cultivation. Instead, he just keeps settling, settling, settling, until his cultivation comes naturally.
The result still made him quite satisfied.
In addition to breaking through the ninth level of Qi refining in cultivation, he has also been able to refine first-level middle-grade elixirs on the alchemy path, and maintains a stable success rate.
It was just that a lot of spiritual herbs and spiritual stones were consumed during the process of refining the elixir, which made Yun He somewhat distressed.
originally.
According to his previous intention, it would be best to practice until Qi is perfected in one fell swoop, and then go out to find ways to improve the fighting power of the monster body in order to prepare for hunting the second-level monster.
But just last month, when he was handing over the talisman to Liu Hongyong, Yunhe learned the news.
The auction with "Foundation Building Pill" will be held in "Queluofang City" in one month!
After joining the Evergreen Sect for so long, this was the first time Yunhe heard about the auction of the "Foundation Establishment Pill".
In fact, if it was just like this, he might still hesitate to go. After all, with such publicity, he might not be able to take pictures of the "Foundation Building Pill" if he went.
No, it should be said that there is a high probability that the "Foundation Building Pill" cannot be photographed.
But that auction not only included "Foundation Building Pills", but also formations, spiritual weapons, techniques, etc.
This made Yun He a little unable to hold himself back.
Everything else was fine, the formation was something he needed to prepare in advance.
Therefore, he decided to temporarily interrupt his practice and go to Queluofang City.
Of course, quietly.
after one day.
Queluofang City.
As a business located two hundred miles southeast of Qingshan City, its business has been tepid due to the influence of Qingshan City.
But this time, as soon as the news of the auction of the "Foundation Building Pill" came out, the whole city suddenly became extremely lively.
Not only the number of monks coming to set up stalls has doubled.
Even the stores that were originally open in Fangshi have temporarily increased their prices.
the most important is.
Even if the prices of the inns in Fang City have increased, they are still full.
fiery!
Just the news of the auction of a "Foundation Building Pill" made a market that had not many people interested in it become so lively.
Of course, in fact, most of the monks who came here could not afford the "Foundation Building Pill", but this did not prevent them from joining in the fun.
Yun He also took advantage of this opportunity to sell off all the shady magic weapons in his hands in batches.
In such a huge market, the magic weapon he took out could not cause much splash at all, so it was considered an excellent opportunity to sell the stolen goods.
Obviously, Yun He can do this, and naturally there are many other monks, even Jie Xiu, who can do this.
Therefore, Queluofang City was a mixed bag at this time, and there were all kinds of monks.
However, most of the truly powerful monks will arrive on the day when the auction officially begins.
Yunhe came two days earlier just to find out the situation in Fangshi and its surroundings.
When fish and dragons are mixed together, accidents are most likely to occur, and it is also a "feast" for the tribulation cultivators.
Two days later.
Yunhe followed the crowd into the Queluofang City Auction House.
This is the first time he has walked into a place like this. When he first entered, it was a mess and there were voices everywhere. Most people were wearing masks or cloaks to hide their eyes and ears. They all knew how to be low-key and discreet. .
Amid the hot crowd talking, Yun He transformed into a burly man with a ferocious face. After putting on his mask again, he found a corner and sat down.
The auction house not only has casual cultivators like him, but also cultivators from major families and forces.
It's just that they don't have to hide their figures, and they don't have to sit in the messy hall, they have their own private box.
As the noise gradually subsided, the auction began.
On the stage in the center of the auction house, a monk with a rather wealthy figure walked up with a smile on his face, saluted to the entire venue, and said:
"My dear He Yannian, Tian is the host of this auction, I have met all of you fellow Taoists, and I would like to thank all of you for coming."
Listening to the whispers of the people around him, Yun He learned that the long-sleeved, late-stage Qi Refining monk on the stage who was good at dancing was the head of the He family, the head of Luoquefang City.
The He family also has foundation-building monks.
Only Foundation Establishment monks can suppress the auction of "Foundation Establishment Pill".
After talking about the scene and the rules of the auction, the auction officially began.
"Xiao Gui Yuan Dan is a first-level high-grade elixir. I believe everyone here is familiar with it, right? It can quickly restore injuries and mana. It is a life-saving medicine when you are in danger. A bottle of ten pills, starting price is 150 lower-grade pills. stone."
"Each bid increase must not be less than five low-grade spiritual stones. Now, the bidding begins!"
After he finished speaking, the interested monks raised their jade tokens and started bidding.
For a time, the auction house became lively again.
After that, all kinds of things were put on the auction stage one after another, including magical weapons, robes, spiritual plants, exercises, formations, etc. The starting prices were often very moderate, attracting many monks to bid. The atmosphere is quite lively.
Yun He had even never heard of many things before, so he gained a lot of knowledge.
As the auction continued, in addition to the casual cultivators outside the venue, some cultivating families in the box also began to bid.
Previously, Yun He didn't understand why the auction was conducted by bidding. Shouldn't immortal cultivators have better methods?
It wasn't until the two cultivating families in the box began to bid for a magical artifact that the price eventually exceeded twice its original price that he understood.
Only by stimulating and stimulating contradictions when there are contradictions and creating contradictions without contradictions can the benefits be maximized.
Of course, most monks and cultivating families are relatively rational, unless it is really necessary, or there is a conflict in the first place.
For example, the previous two families had conflicts from the beginning.
"Next thing."
Two scantily clad waiters came up pushing a cart.
The cart covered with cloth was lifted.
Inside the small square cage made of jade, he saw a bird with two fingers long and very slender. The whole body was black, but the lower half of the eye and the two hind feet were golden, especially on its extremely slender abdomen. There are golden spots on it.
The most special thing is undoubtedly the two pairs of wings on its back that change from black to gold.
"Spirit bee?"
Seeing the spirit bee that looked a little sluggish, many people in the hall showed doubts.
He Yannian didn't show off, and said with a smile:
"Fellow Taoists, please don't underestimate this bee. Although I don't know its specific species, our auction house temporarily calls it the four-winged golden-spotted bee. It was discovered by a fellow Taoist accidentally in a secret place. Although there is only one, But it’s incredibly fast and extremely aggressive, and can even bite into mid-grade magic weapons!”
There was a pause.
"This is only if its demonic power is not strong enough. According to the estimation of my master at Queluo Auction House, if it can continue to grow, it may be able to crush high-grade magic weapons in the future."
Secret realm? What if we can continue to grow? Bite into pieces a high-grade magic weapon?
Many monks who heard this scoffed.
Their methods for auction houses are not different. As long as the auction houses themselves are not sure about the items, they will always add the word "secret realm" to increase the price. No one can find out the authenticity anyway.
As for, keep growing
"Fellow Taoist Crane, don't blame me for being harsh. If what your auction house takes out is a queen bee, maybe you are still interested and try to raise one, but now there is only this drone. This is a one-time use." Supplies, ah, and they are still half-broken disposable supplies."
This was agreed by many people present.
He Yannian's expression on the stage was slightly stiff. He glanced at the person who had spoken before, his eyes flickered slightly, but he soon returned to his original smile.
"He believes that there must be someone knowledgeable here. The starting price is 70 yuan for low-grade spiritual stones. Each increase in price must not be less than 5 yuan. The bidding begins!"
The entire venue fell into a brief silence.
Yun He, who was sitting in the corner with his eyes closed and concentrating, suddenly sat upright.
After a long while, and it looked like the photo was going to be lost, someone finally said:
"Seventy dollars!"
If someone makes an offer, it means there are still people willing to take a gamble.
"Seventy-five dollars!"
However, there are never many people bidding, and they are all a bit conservative.
"Eighty-five low-grade spiritual stones, are there any fellow Taoists who want to bid?" He Yannian asked.
"Ninety dollars!"
Yun He finally couldn't help but raise his hand.
As a senior beekeeper, he can see the value of this four-winged golden-spotted bee.
Some of He Yannian's words should be true.
But it is indeed incomplete.
But if there is a queen bee to mate with, there is still a certain chance that the next generation can be cultivated.
Of course, the premise is that there must be a queen bee who can bear it.
Secondly, although the bee is mutilated, it cannot lose its ability to mate.
In the end, if a young bee is born successfully, the young bee must inherit the ability of the bee.
After all, there is only one bee and only one chance to try.
There are many conditions.
So it's almost like gambling.
But Yunhe is willing to give it a try.
Because he felt that the queen bee he cultivated should be able to withstand it.
"Ninety yuan! Are there any other fellow Taoists who bid?"
He Yannian looked around the audience and confirmed three times that no one was bidding again.
"Ninety pieces of low-grade spiritual stones! Congratulations, fellow Taoist, the bidding was successful!"
Yun He let out a breath, leaned back on the chair, lowered his eyes, and pressed his temples.
'Well, most of the people sitting here are here for the 'Foundation Building Pill'. There shouldn't be many spiritual beekeepers born like this, right? '
A monk who was not born as a spiritual beekeeper would indeed not be very interested in spiritual bees.
'It's not a loss. If it doesn't work out, I can temporarily control this bee and use the 'source refining method' to restore its state. Its tail needle has not been lost, indicating that it is still capable of mating. There can be thousands of eggs in a nest, and there will always be one that can make a breakthrough, but it just takes a little more time. '
'It's a bit of a gamble, but if you don't find better bees for 'purification', the upper limit of the red-banded spirit bee colony will increase too slowly. '
'Um? '
Just as Yun He was meditating, his spiritual sense became more and more sensitive, and he felt a strange gaze.
Follow the source and look.
What he saw was the person who choked He Yannian before.
'Did the person sitting next to him just now also bid? '
He frowned.
