After returning from Fangshi, Jining carefully studied the jade slips he bought in Fangshi that introduced aspects of weapon refining, alchemy, etc. in his temporary residence.
Jining casually took out a jade slip he had just bought from Fangshi and injected it with his spiritual consciousness. This jade slip contained an article on the most common ancient book "Introduction to Alchemy", which is the most common weapon refining book.
There are many magical things in the universe and between heaven and earth. These magical things are divided into innate things and acquired things. Innate things have existed since the beginning of the universe. These innate things contain the ultimate principles of heaven and earth. Those who obtain them can use them with a little refinement. However, innate things are rare in the world and can only be obtained by very few. Therefore, most monks use various acquired things and mysterious refining methods to turn minerals, spiritual herbs, etc. into magic weapons and elixirs.
Although acquired things are rare materials and treasures in heaven and earth, all acquired things contain various impurities. Therefore, monks need to use special techniques to remove impurities from these heavenly materials and earthly treasures. In fact, there is no such thing as weapon refining and elixir refining in the world.
What is weapon refining? Tool refining is to refine weapons according to the attributes of various heaven and earth spiritual objects. The refining tool is then engraved with mysterious formation runes, and the instinctive power of the tool is unleashed through the formation runes. The things used to refine the weapons vary widely, so the power of the refined weapons also varies greatly. Sometimes acquired objects appear spiritual during the refining process and become magic weapons or even spiritual treasures.
The journey of refining weapons is long, broad and profound. Refining weapons to the extreme can be relied on to enter the Tao, and the same is true for the Tao of Alchemy. There are many schools of weapon refining and alchemy, and there are millions of techniques. However, different paths lead to the same goal, and the final methods are not much different. They all use techniques to fuse various materials and assist with formations to condense magic weapons and elixirs.
Although Jining had occasionally dabbled in it in the past, he had also refined the simplest Bigu Pill during his Qi training. As a casual cultivator, resources are scarce, so he is not willing to waste precious spiritual herbs and elixirs. So I didn't pay much attention to the so-called alchemy and weapon refining.
After studying the contents of these jade slips for more than half a month, Jining looked at the materials of the Xumi bracelet and storage bag, and a smile appeared on his unhappy face.
He gently picked up a piece of dark red ore and thought in his mind: "Xuanxing Stone is an excellent material for refining psychic weapons. The tools made with this material are very likely to become magic weapons!".
After some investigation, he reclassified the materials and found that they were enough to refine two or three magic weapons. Thinking of these, Jining felt a little emotional in his heart. He knew that many alchemy monks could not find their favorite refining materials, so they ended up using some ordinary spiritual objects instead. Although they could also be refined into magic weapons, the power was completely different.
After collecting the materials, I felt that the merchant ship should have returned to Xiying Island. So I planned to go to the Xiqifang City Management Office and get the reward promised by Xiqifang City. I also planned to go to the auction that the alchemy monk next door talked about last time.
When Jining arrived at the Xiqifang City Management Office, he met the merchant ship steward whom he had seen at Yinshuitan Island the other day. It seemed that he should have handed over the materials he transported to Xiqifang City, but his expression was not very good.
After Jining greeted him, he walked in to find the deacon of Xiqifang City. Entering the pavilion hall, Jining saw the old monk with white hair and beard from last time talking to a foundation-building monk.
Jining knew which monk was also one of the monks stationed on the island. After finishing the matter, Jining came forward to find the monk with white beard and hair. When he saw Jining, he knew the purpose of his visit. After nodding towards Jining, he took it from his arms. Take out a book.
It seems that the content of this book is to record the harvest of each island. After some calculations, the old man gave Jining two hundred spiritual stones, and then asked Jining to give him which jade tablet of the forbidden residence, and then he changed it to a forbidden jade tablet. Jining. Jining knows which residence is now his own.
Jiningjian went to Yinshuitan Island to stay for more than three months. During this period, he did not encounter any threats, but he accidentally obtained a large number of heaven and earth spiritual objects in the monk's cave. It can be said that the harvest this time was no less than that of monk Li Xiao. The cave.
In addition, I got two hundred low-grade spiritual stones here today, and I felt a little happy, so I bowed to the old man and thanked him.
Then the two chatted for a while, and after chatting with the old man from Fangshi, they realized that they were very lucky this time. This time, most of the monks sent by Xiqifang City to the island were lost. Although some of them returned to Xiying Island safely, their resources on the island were severely damaged by monsters in the sea, so the spiritual stones they obtained were also lost. many.
After Jining said goodbye to the old man, he walked in the direction of the auction mentioned by the middle-aged alchemy monk next door. Although he has been in the cultivation world for many years, he has never been to an auction, so Jining decided to go to the auction to see what was new.
The auction location was directly south of Xiqifang City, and Jining walked for about half an hour to get there. Jining saw a very large pavilion in front of him. The shape of the pavilion was very unique. Different from the square shape of other pavilions, this pavilion had a round shape.
There is a very large square in front of the circular pavilion. There is a huge stone in the square with the words "Xiqi Auction" written on it. At this time, Jining saw a lot of monks in the square, and some of them actually set up stalls in the square to sell some things.
Jining walked towards the circular pavilion, and unexpectedly there was a huge hall behind the pavilion, filled with many auction staff. In addition to these staff, Jining's spiritual consciousness vaguely felt that there were several monks whose cultivation was above the Golden Pill hidden in the hall.
These auction staff first checked the hand cards of the monks entering the auction venue. It turned out that each monk entering the auction venue must first obtain a hand card. Only monks with hand cards can enter the venue to participate in the auction.
It turns out that Xiqi Auction is afraid that many monks without spiritual stones will enter the venue and disrupt the venue, so monks who enter the venue need to hand over two hundred spiritual stones to get a hand card. This hand card is regarded as the monk's temporary identity. This hand card can be returned at the end of the auction. If some monks want to facilitate the next auction, they do not need to return the hand card as an identity card for future auctions.
Jining handed over two hundred spiritual stones to get a hand card, and saw a number written on the hand card. This number was also the monk's seat number after entering the venue.
Jining then came to the entrance of the auction venue and saw two foundation-building monks standing at the entrance. It seems that these two people are responsible for reviewing the cards in the monk's hand, and only after confirming that the cards in the hand are correct, the monk is allowed to enter the venue.
When Jining walked into the venue, he saw a very luxurious hall. There was a high platform at the front of the hall. Since it was still some time before the auction, no one was present on the platform.
The auction venue is divided into two floors, upstairs and downstairs. The upstairs is a small box; while the downstairs is arranged in a staircase with some seats on each floor. This arrangement allows everyone to see clearly in front of them. of auction items.
Jining calculated that the seats set up downstairs could accommodate seven or eight hundred people, plus the private rooms upstairs. Jining guessed that the entire auction could accommodate at least a thousand monks. Jining walked down the stairs at the venue and quickly found the same number in his hand.
Jining found that there were many monks sitting around him, but their costumes were a bit weird, and it was obvious that they were using the art of disguise to change their appearance.
Seeing their costumes, they probably didn't want other monks to know their identities. They were probably afraid that the treasures they took at the auction venue would be known by others, which would bring disaster to themselves.
They glanced at Jining and felt a little surprised. It seemed that the young man in front of them either didn't know the stakes or had a strong background.
Gradually, more and more people came to bid. Jining guessed that there should be many monks who thought the same as him. These were not all here to participate in the auction, but just to join in the fun to gain experience.
At this time, Jining's spiritual sense sensed that two low-level qi-training monks not far in front of him were talking about something through voice transmission. Since their cultivation was not high, their voice transmission was sensed by Jining's spiritual sense.
"Senior Brother Ye, I heard that in addition to many spiritual weapons being auctioned, there are also several foundation-building pills being auctioned in this auction." A young monk next to him said excitedly to another monk not far away.
"Well, most of the monks who came here this time are monks who are above the Foundation Establishment level. You and I should have the opportunity to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill this time." The monk surnamed Ye said to the young monk.
It seems that these two low-level monks know the auction situation very well, after listening to their conversation. Jining also knew something about this auction. Today's auction not only included spiritual weapons, elixirs, and some heavenly and earthly treasures, but the final item was actually a powerful puppet.
After hearing what they said to Jining, who had never participated in an auction before, Jining was also looking forward to the auction. The empty seats in the venue were gradually filled, and the monk's message came accidentally. Jining did not pay attention to the quiet Wait for the bidding to begin.
Half an hour later, Jining suddenly discovered that there were two more golden elixir monks in the auction house. The monks in the venue were all slightly startled. The originally noisy auction venue suddenly became quiet.
Then a middle-aged monk with a handsome face wearing a brocade robe appeared on the high stage of the venue. A cheerful voice said: "I am Zhu Zhishan, the deacon of Xiqifang City. I will preside over this auction today." , welcome all monks to participate in the Xiqi auction today, this auction will definitely make your trip worthwhile."
His voice passed through a special formation on the high platform, making the monks present feel as if his voice was right next to them. It seems that this person should be the host of this auction.
I have rarely encountered such a high-level monk in the past. I didn't expect that the handsome-faced middle-aged monk who was presiding over the auction on the stage was also a golden elixir monk. Jining secretly thought that the powerful forces behind Xiqifang City were not simple.
