"But that ancient 'Star Locking Formation'?" The moment he took the wooden box, Master Linglong did not open it immediately, but asked directly.
"It is this formation that Shi spent a real three years to imitate and operate to its extreme. The power can reach at least 50% of the original formation." Shi Zhenren did not hide anything and responded immediately.
"That's already very impressive." Master Linglong nodded slightly, and then slowly opened the box. In an instant, an astonishing amount of spiritual energy surged out, and everyone in the entire hall could clearly feel it.
"Look at this momentum, although it is not as good as the fifth generation version of the 'Inverted Five Elements Formation', it is not much worse." Although Mo Juren was further away, he could roughly estimate the power of the formation. It can be seen from this that Master Shi's attainments in formations are indeed quite high. As for the original formation of the so-called 'Star Locking Formation', its level should be much higher than that of the 'Inverted Five Elements Formation', but it's a pity that we never got a chance to see it.
Master Linglong was also very satisfied and put it away after examining it carefully. Naturally, the exchange was successfully completed.
Immediately afterwards, the unicorn of the eighth-level monster was also taken away by another person, and the last magic weapon, 'Red Cloud Ring', fell into the hands of Fairy Mingyu.
Of course, there were seven or eight inferior treasures, all of which were snatched away by a few juniors in the Dan Formation stage.
Everything was happy, and Master Linglong was all smiles, and then motioned to the person next to him to continue. At this point, the second round of free exchange meetings has just officially begun.
Everyone here is worthy of being a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, and each of them is richer than the last. Although the spiritual stones have been basically exhausted in previous auctions, the treasures he possesses are continuing one after another.
In short, the exchange that followed was exciting and eye-opening for all the juniors in the Dan Formation stage.
Mo Juren was no exception, but he was not as excited as these people. Instead, he looked calm from beginning to end. This state of mind will gain a lot of points in the eyes of some thoughtful people.
The only pity is that the dozen Nascent Soul experts in front of him displayed various treasures one by one, but none of them met his requirements. His luck was really bad.

"Lu's net worth is a bit poor, and he can't compare with you. However, he accidentally got a few pieces of 'chrome crystal' during an expedition a few years ago. I wonder which fellow Taoist is interested?" At this time, another person was thin, The middle-aged man with a mask on his face spoke. On the table in front of him, there were five silver-white stones the size of an adult's fist and extremely irregular shapes.
While introducing them, his gaze seemed to glance at the three Star Palace elders inadvertently, and then he looked back.
"Chromium crystal, it turns out to be this thing!" After hearing the words of the thin man, everyone present showed surprise.
'Chromium crystal' is not a naturally occurring substance, but is extracted from chromium stone by ancient monks. Its use is somewhat similar to 'crystal refining', another special spiritual material in the spiritual world. They are top-notch auxiliary materials that can enhance the sturdiness of magic weapons.
Due to its origin, the rarity of refining crystals is self-evident; and although there is a lot of chromium ore in stock, unfortunately, the refining method has long been lost, making it almost impossible to see the existence of chromium crystals in today's cultivation world.
Therefore, not only do the two have similar uses, but their rarity is almost as different.
Of course, there are still certain differences.
The first is the origin. Chromium crystal is artificially refined, while the refined crystal is derived from the spiritual insect iron fire ant. The second is that the properties of the materials themselves are slightly different.
'Crystal Refining' has a wide range of uses, any magic weapon can be perfectly integrated, and there are no restrictions in the process. But 'Chrome Crystal' is not good. Although it is a bit higher than the former in terms of hardness, it cannot be used alone. Instead, it needs to be paired with a special spiritual mineral called 'Wutong Sand' to assist. required effect.
This also makes the value of the two very different. Naturally, everyone is flocking to refine crystals, but chromium crystals are obviously much worse. After all, the rarity of Wutong Sand is also not low, and it is basically useless by itself.
Of course, these are all theoretical, reality is another matter. Both 'Refined Crystal' and 'Chromium Crystal' are top-notch materials, extremely rare and have great reserve value.
"I wonder what Fellow Daoist Lu is planning to exchange for?" The first person to speak was Master Linglong, who was obviously interested in this item. Naturally, he was not using it to refine magic weapons, he just wanted to collect one out of nature. Besides, you might be lucky enough to find Wutong sand in the future, and you can use it together.
"Lu has a lot of these 'chromium crystals', and the value is naturally not low." The man surnamed Lu did not answer immediately, but foreshadowed it before saying,
"It just so happens that my cultivation has been stuck in the bottleneck period for many years, and I really have a headache. I wonder which fellow Taoist here has the 'Shengyun Pill' in his hand. It doesn't need to be more, just three. Can you take all the chromium crystals on the table?"
"What!" After hearing this, not only Master Linglong, but almost everyone couldn't help but take a breath.
'Shengyun Dan! 'That is the top elixir in the world of cultivation. It can not only improve the cultivation of Yuanying stage monks, but also has a certain chance of breaking through the bottleneck of Yuanying stage monks.
This level of elixir, not just from the opponent, who wouldn't want to get it as long as he is a Nascent Soul Stage monk? Not to mention three, even one is hard to find.
This guy surnamed Lu really dared to speak, just three. You don't even think about it, just a few pieces of 'Chromium Crystal' whose use is restricted, how can it be worth buying three 'Shengyun Pills'?
"Ahem..." Master Linglong coughed a few times and then reminded,
"Friend Lu Dao, this request is too much. I wonder if I can exchange it for something else?"
"Brother Chen, forgive me, Lu just wants to break through the bottleneck right now, so..." The monk surnamed Lu obviously knew that his demands were a bit harsh, but he still didn't want to give in. His eyes glanced in a certain direction again, but unfortunately he found nothing, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"That's...okay." Everyone had said this, and Master Linglong couldn't persuade her any more, so she could only smile helplessly and said,
"Forget it Chen, any fellow Taoist who is interested may wish to give it a try."
Master Linglong chose to retreat, and naturally the others were no different. After all, if you don't have a 'sacred medicine' like Shengyun Pill, even if you do have it, you won't exchange it for it. Wouldn't it be better to keep it for yourself?
For a moment, the entire hall became silent.
At a certain location, Mo Juren had been staring at the 'chrome crystal' in front of the monk surnamed Lu. A strange color flashed in his eyes, and he was obviously also very tempted.
The reason is also very simple. This material is specifically mentioned in the refining method of his natal magic weapon, the Ice Soul Xuanjing Sword. It is one of several auxiliary materials that can be used to improve the quality of the flying sword. The same is true for refining the crystal.
Several rare materials have been added to the three completed Xuanjing Swords during the refining process, making them very strong. However, it is definitely not top-notch. If it is refined again, its power will definitely be even higher.
It's a pity that the man named Lu is too stubborn and insists on the 'Shengyun Pill'. He has never heard of it, how can he get it in exchange?
He could only accept the reality and chose to give up.
Seeing no one respond, the monk surnamed Lu naturally felt disappointed. As for asking him to change his requirements, that was impossible. Nothing external could compare to the improvement of his cultivation.
"Senior, wait a minute." Just as he was about to take the things back, a clear and sweet voice suddenly sounded, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Everyone turned to look at the voice, only to find that the person speaking was actually a young girl wearing a mask and whose cultivation level was only at the Foundation Establishment stage. In an instant, everyone was stunned.
Among them, the three elders of the Star Palace were the most prominent, and they all looked astonished. He seemed to have thought of something at the same time, and he couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart, with a bad premonition.
"Little girl, you..." After seeing the person speaking clearly, the monk surnamed Lu felt a glimmer of hope in his heart, but he was also a little uneasy.
To be able to participate in today's auction with a foundation-building level of cultivation, his background must not be simple. However, even so, how could the opponent have a top-notch elixir like 'Shengyun Pill' in his hand?
It's impossible to think about it, or maybe the other party's elders own it, but they may not exchange it.
When I thought of this, the hope that originally arose in my heart disappeared in an instant.
Ling Yuling probably guessed what the other party was thinking, but she was not afraid at all. She continued to say calmly:
"Senior, there is no need to worry. Since I dare to speak, I will not lie. To be honest, I happen to have this elixir in my hand, but I only have one. I wonder if you are willing to exchange it?"
"One!" Hearing this, the monk surnamed Lu was a little confused. Although pills like 'Shengyun Pill' have the miraculous effect of breaking through bottlenecks, there is a certain probability. Having only one is really not safe, but three is barely better.
However, this is the 'Shengyun Pill' after all. Such a top-notch treasure is really rare. In the world of cultivation, it seems that only the person from the Star Palace can refine this pill, and it rarely leaks out. Even the other party doesn't want to refine it. It can be refined, and the elixirs required for the elixir itself are extremely rare.
Opportunities like this are rare, and even if there is only one, he is not willing to miss it.
"Little girl, Lu believes that you have this medicine, but are you sure you can do it?" Considering the other party's cultivation level, the monk surnamed Lu did not choose to give a reply immediately, but probed again.
"These seniors don't have to think about it, just say whether they are willing to exchange, right?" Ling Yuling did not give an explanation, but her tone was full of confidence.
In order to help Mo Juren in exchange for what she needed, she came fully prepared this time and carried a large number of treasures with her, and Shengyun Pill happened to be one of them.
This elixir is indeed extremely precious. However, to Xing Gong, because it can be refined by itself, it is not so 'unique', but it is said differently when it is promoted to the outside world.
I just saw it by chance in the secret warehouse this time, and I took one by the way, but I didn't expect it to be useful.
In fact, she had no interest in this auction. Therefore, during the whole process, her attention was almost entirely on Mo Juren, and she naturally noticed the thoughts revealed in his eyes in time.
In this case, she would naturally not be stingy with a pill, and would just exchange it for what she needed.
"If there is only one..." The other party was so confident that the monk surnamed Lu stopped trying. He thought about it and then said,
"It can only be exchanged for one-third of the chromium crystals here."
"No, I want them all." After confirming the other party's demands for the elixir, Ling Yuling refused to give in at all. She was willing to take out precious medicines like 'Shengyun Pill' for Mo Juren, but that didn't mean she was willing to suffer losses. Although those 'Chromium Crystals' were rare, they also had flaws and their value was not as high as imagined.
Hearing this, the monk surnamed Lu frowned slightly, obviously unwilling. The chromium crystals on the table are not only rare, but there are also a lot of them. It would be a bit "lion's mouth" to plan to exchange them all for just one pill.
He didn't want to really refuse, after all, the elixir was what he needed urgently. After thinking for a moment, he said again: "How about half, this is my bottom line."
"No, it must be all." Ling Yuling's attitude remained unchanged and she did not give in at all. Not only the monk surnamed Lu was shown this kind of behavior, but everyone present except for a few insiders were shocked.
Who is this little girl from? She is so courageous. She has a cultivation level in the Foundation Establishment stage and dares to talk to a monk in the Nascent Soul Stage without giving in. It is true that a calf is not afraid of tigers.
As a Yuanying stage monk, the monk surnamed Lu is naturally not an ordinary person, and he is also a respected and ancestor. In front of so many people, being put on stage by a little girl was a bit embarrassing, and it was inevitable that I was losing face.
"Little girl, when doing things for others, you need to know how to do things according to your ability and stop in moderation. Excessive greed may not be a good thing..." Unhappy in his heart, the voice of the monk surnamed Lu inevitably became a little colder. Of course, facing so many comrades, he couldn't really embarrass a little girl, he just couldn't help but want to say a few harsh words.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she said this, before the little girl said anything, the expressions of the three elders from the Star Palace across the street all darkened. One of them, a middle-aged man with a stern face, suddenly slammed the table and shouted:
"What do you mean, surnamed Lu? You are embarrassing a little girl just because you are a Nascent Soul monk, and you are so shameless..."
"I just lived for a few hundred more years. How can I be so narrow-minded and live like a dog..."
"..."
"You..." The monk surnamed Lu just said a few words to the little girl, but didn't do anything. I never thought that I would be scolded and cursed by others, which made me feel extremely angry.
As a monk in the Nascent Soul Stage, I see something wrong with my juniors, so what’s the matter with a few words of education? It is beneficial and harmless to let her know some principles of life, is it wrong?
Besides, why does this bother you? As for targeting me like this?
He couldn't help but look at the other two Star Palace elders. As a result, they all had gloomy faces, obviously having the same stance.
In an instant, he collapsed.
One-on-three, this was Tianxing City again, so he didn't dare to provoke the other party, so he had to endure it. It's just that the frustration in my heart is really uncomfortable, but I have nowhere to vent it.
"We're all good, it's just a simple transaction, don't let such a trivial matter hurt your friendship." Master Linglong naturally knew what was going on, but he couldn't explain anything, so he could only stand up and make peace.
After all, he organized the auction, and everyone present only came to participate because of his face. They couldn't really start a fight. That situation would be difficult to deal with.
Turning to look at the monk surnamed Lu, he continued:
"Brother Lu, I'm going to talk to you a little bit more. It's a deal. Naturally, it's between you and me. Even if it doesn't work out, there's no one to blame. If you agree to the other party's conditions, then just exchange them directly. Why bother to say more?
I also know that you have good intentions, but this little girl also has her own elders, so why does she need your guidance and education on how to behave? "
