As the start of the auction approached, Mu Jing became more and more restrained.
There was no way, there were only a few monks from the Hidden Sun Sect, and monks from Li Shiming kept coming to say hello.
If she really wanted to have a conflict with Li Shiming at this time, Mu Jing would simply not be able to withstand the criticism from so many monks.
Although the Hidden Sun Sect is a large sect, the number of monks under its sect is no less than that of other large sects. However, due to their demonic cultivation, most of the disciples have evil intentions, which is not tolerated by an orthodox sect like the Taichu Sect.
The monks of the Hidden Sun Sect who can participate in the grand gathering must be relatively innocent, and at the same time, they must be elite monks of the sect, otherwise participating in the grand gathering will bring shame to the Hidden Sun Sect.
This makes the number of monks from the Hidden Sun Sect participating in the Taichu Sect's grand gathering the smallest among the major sects, and the demon cultivators themselves have very few friends. If something really happens, there won't even be any monks to speak out.
It was Li Shiming's first time to participate in this kind of auction, and he watched the auction begin with anticipation.
The person who presided over the auction was a monk named Qi Gao who was in the early stage of Yuanying. Shui Miao came over and introduced Qi Gao as the direct grandson of the great monk Qi.
"Fellow Taoists, the first spiritual object in this auction is the ten-section fourth-grade 'Golden Bone Spiritual Bamboo'!" Qi Gao glanced around and said the first item in the auction loudly.
Li Shiming knew about the 'Golden Bone Spiritual Bamboo', which is a fourth-grade material. 'Golden Bone Spiritual Bamboo' contains metal energy and is an excellent metal formation material.
Ten sections of 'Golden Bone Spiritual Bamboo', together with other auxiliary materials, are enough to make a set of ten fourth-grade formation flags.
"The ten-section fourth-grade 'Golden Bone Spiritual Bamboo' has an auction price of five thousand high-grade spiritual stones. Each increase in price must not be less than one hundred high-grade spiritual stones. It can also be traded with spiritual objects of equal value!" Qi Gao continued.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shiming saw the numbers constantly beating on the illusion formation in front of him.
With so many monks gathered together, the 'Golden Bone Spiritual Bamboo' is a relatively rare fourth-grade formation material, especially when used on formation flags.
At the Nascent Soul stage, monks have more time, and there are many Nascent Soul monks studying formations.
Li Shiming does not have so many high-grade spiritual stones in his hands. He usually does not pay attention to collecting high-grade spiritual stones. This is a bad habit brought from the Northern Shu continent.
The resources of the Beishu Continent cannot be equated with spiritual stones, which means that the value of the spiritual stones in the Beishu Continent is much lower than that of spiritual objects and cannot become a stable currency.
But in the Eastern Qi Continent, spirit stones are an extremely stable currency.
Li Shiming thought for a while, took out a jade bottle, worked on the formation, and transmitted the information about the ten elixirs in the jade bottle.
Qi Gao saw the message he sent, and he attached great importance to the monks who had the invitation cards.
When Qi Gao read the information about the ten spiritual pills, his eyes couldn't help but light up. The total value of the ten fourth-grade spiritual pills far exceeded his estimate of the ten fourth-grade 'Golden Bone Spiritual Bamboo'.
He adjusted the latest price. Due to Li Shiming's bid, the auction price of the ten-section fourth-grade 'Golden Bone Spiritual Bamboo' increased a lot.
Li Shiming suddenly raised the auction price significantly, which made the monks who originally intended to auction hesitant.
This is the first spiritual object. If the cost is too high, it will be difficult to obtain the spiritual object you like at auction later.
"Is there any higher offer? Ten sections of fourth-grade 'Golden Bone Spiritual Bamboo' can be used to make a set of fourth-grade formation flags!" Qi Gao shouted loudly.
However, after waiting for a while and seeing that no monks made any further bids, the auction of this first spiritual object ended.
The formation in front of Li Shiming flashed, the jade bottle in his hand was teleported, and then ten sections of 'Golden Bone Spiritual Bamboo' appeared in his hand.
He looked at the quality of the 'Golden Bone Spiritual Bamboo' and was very satisfied with it.
He exchanged the useless fourth-grade elixir for useful fourth-grade formation materials. This transaction made him very satisfied.
There are a lot of fourth-grade elixirs in his hands that he did not refine himself, and there are even some fourth-grade elixirs in the middle Nascent Soul stage.
Who told him to kill more than ten Nascent Soul cultivators? He has very high requirements for elixirs and will not take those fourth-grade elixirs that are of too low quality.
In subsequent auctions, he will auction off any fourth-grade formation materials and fourth-grade materials related to the puppet mechanism.
He makes generous moves, raising the price a lot every time, so that whenever he makes a move, he is sure to win.
Feng Lanxin, who had the best relationship with him, did not speak out to persuade him. This kind of auction was his private matter.
More importantly, Li Shiming is a master of alchemy. Every monk knows that the fortune of a master of alchemy is extremely rich.
Feng Lanxin was not worried about Li Shiming losing his fortune at all. Thinking about the alchemy business that Li Shiming had taken over from the sect, the fourth-grade elixir left by Li Shiming in these alchemy businesses alone was an astonishing fortune.
Not to mention, Li Shiming's remuneration for alchemy is higher than that of other alchemy masters, and this income is also extremely high.
Li Shiming is still very picky about spiritual objects. He is only interested in fourth-grade formation materials and fourth-grade puppet mechanism materials. In fact, there are no top-notch refining materials in the auction.
His requirement for weapon-refining materials was fourth-grade upper-level materials, but such weapon-refining materials were already scarce, and he also requested sword-refining materials, which have never appeared until now.
"The next auction item is the fourth-grade 'Dragon Sand Secret Crystal', with a starting price of 100,000 high-grade spiritual stones!" Qi Gao introduced.
Li Shiming became interested immediately. He took stock of the available fourth-grade elixirs. It was the fourth-grade intermediate elixir he had refined. He should be able to take pictures of the fourth-grade 'Dragon Sand Secret Crystal'.
The fourth-grade 'Dragon Sand Secret Crystal' is the top weapon refining material he has been looking forward to. Although it is not a thunder-based material, because the properties of this weapon-refining material are peaceful and compatible with the five elements and thunder system spiritual power, the most critical 'Dragon Sand Secret Crystal'
'Extremely hard, able to withstand about 40 million 5-nanometer runes.
In other words, with his weapon refining ability, the 'Dragon Sand Secret Crystal' can be refined into a fourth-grade weapon, the Tribulation Flying Sword.
For the 'Dragon Sand Secret Crystal', he could use all the accumulated useless fourth-grade elixirs, which was also cost-effective.
After waiting for a while, when he was about to make a quotation, he saw a quotation that made his scalp numb. This quotation far exceeded the quotation he had prepared.
Not surprisingly, the fourth-grade ‘Dragon Sand Secret Crystal’ was not successfully photographed by him.
Possessing the power of 'divine eyes', he found the position of the monk who competed with him for the 'Dragon Sand Secret Crystal' through the subtle fluctuations of the on-site formation, which was in the box above.
"Fellow Daoist Shui, I wonder which monk is in that box?" Li Shiming turned to ask Shui Miao through a voice transmission.
"That box is prepared for high-level officials of major forces. What you are talking about is Box No. 4, which is the box of Lianhua Temple. The monks in those boxes may be representing the sects in the auction, and some of them are from major sects.
The leader of the sect, or the great monk!" Shui Miao didn't know what happened, so she told what she knew.
Li Shiming shook his head helplessly. He thought he was rich.
But then he realized that his so-called rich wealth was nothing compared to ordinary monks and truly powerful beings.
Just as he thought, in the second half of the auction, all the top materials that appeared were taken away by the monks in the box.
Even if Li Shiming wanted to snatch it, there would be no hope at all unless he took out the elixir he used for cultivation.
But how could he come up with the elixir he used for his own cultivation?
Those are all fourth-grade high-level elixirs, which are at the theoretical extreme quality of alchemy.
If such a fourth-grade high-level spiritual elixir is taken out, the trouble it will cause will be huge.
He could only watch pieces of top-notch materials being missed in front of him, and then he realized how precious the fourth-grade Lei Yaoxuan Iron given to him by his second senior brother Yue Shan was.
This kind of top-notch fourth-grade weapon refining material is rarely circulated outside. Even if you encounter it, it will be snatched away by big forces.
In fact, if Li Shiming really wanted to accumulate wealth, it would be very easy.
Not only relying on alchemy, he can use fourth-grade low-level refining materials to refine fourth-grade high-level magic weapons. This kind of weapon refining ability can bring him great benefits every time he refines a magic weapon.
But he didn't dare to do this. Being too good was not a good thing. He had already experienced this in Beishu Continent.
If he really wants to go all out to refine weapons, it will be enough to affect the foundation of a big force. Other big forces will never let this happen.
In the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, there are not many monks who actually possess fourth-grade high-level magic weapons. The restriction of fourth-grade high-level magic weapons is the refining materials.
If a normal monk wants to refine a fourth-grade high-grade magic weapon, he needs to use a fourth-grade high-grade weapon refining material to successfully refine it.
But in the computer room space, Li Shiming customized the design of the natal magic weapon IBMz15 according to the refining materials, and then used the 5 nanometer precision refining technique to refine the magic weapon that can transcend the limitations of the material itself.
If the cultivators of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect were to have a fourth-grade high-level magic weapon, the balance of power in the Eastern Qi Continent would be broken.
At that time, big forces will definitely attack Li Shiming and either capture him or directly kill him to solve the problem.
The same is true for refining weapons, and the same is true for alchemy. Li Shiming has been carefully controlling the use of his alchemy ability, leaving himself some room.
At the end of the auction, Li Shiming hardly made any moves in the second half, which made him feel bad.
"Junior brother Li, I see that you are not very happy. Did you not take the photo of the spiritual object that you like?" When leaving the auction, Feng Lanxin saw that Li Shiming was in a bad mood and couldn't help but ask.
"I just realized that I'm so poor. I didn't get any of the top four materials I was looking for!" Li Shiming said without hiding anything.
Feng Lanxin looked at Li Shiming speechlessly. Li Shiming had only been in the sect for a long time and he already had such a fortune.
Which Nascent Soul monk doesn't have to accumulate hundreds of years to be able to bid for the materials he likes and refine the most suitable magic weapon for himself.
"Actually, you don't need to auction it. Every few years, the sect will release several top-notch fourth-grade materials. You only need contribution points to redeem them. Just accumulate more contribution points!" Feng Lanxin shook her head and said.
After all, Li Shiming joined the sect relatively recently, and he didn't know many things about the sect.
Although the contribution points for redeeming the sect's fourth-grade top materials are extremely high, with Li Shiming's alchemy ability, as long as he does more sect alchemy tasks, it will be much easier than other Nascent Soul monks.
On the fifth day, Li Shiming was invited to go, but he did not go with Feng Lanxin, mainly because this gathering was an internal gathering among alchemy masters.
This gathering was not on the three open peaks, but on another peak.
Probably only as an alchemy master can break some rules.
After entering the mountain formation, a Taoist boy led him.
This Taoist boy has the aura of elixir on his body, so he can tell that he is an elixir boy.
As soon as they entered the main hall, they saw a huge alchemy furnace. Nine alchemy masters were talking around the alchemy furnace.
Li Shiming's eyes narrowed slightly, and he saw Master Jiang Hong of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, and another Master Xie Lang who rarely interacted with them. Of course, Master Sui, who invited him to come, was also included.
"Masters, this is Master Li Shizhen whom I invited. His level of alchemy is so high that I am ashamed of him!" Master Yu introduced to the alchemy masters with a smile.
"Li Shizhen has met all the masters, and Master Yu is too praised!" Li Shiming said with a smile and bow.
All the alchemy masters returned the gift one after another, but Master Jiang Hong and Master Xie Lang, both of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, behaved a little strangely.
The relationship between Master Jiang Hong and Li Shiming is no longer what it was at the beginning. The conflicts between the two parties have become prominent. It is impossible to return to the past.
Master Xie Lang is an alchemy master of the dragon lineage. He is not from the same family as Li Shiming, so naturally he has a bad relationship with Li Shiming.
At first, Master Xie Lang wanted to win over Li Shiming to join the dragon family, but Li Shiming refused.
Li Shiming didn't pay attention to the attitudes of Master Jiang Hong and Master Xie Lang. He smiled and exchanged contact information with the alchemy masters to get to know each other.
Now he has truly integrated into the world of immortal cultivation in Dong Qi Continent, and has interacted with other alchemy masters as an alchemy master.
This is very important. Although his reputation was great in the past, it was limited to the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. Even if his reputation spread, without the support of actual alchemy deeds, this reputation could not be maintained for long outside.
After getting to know each other, the alchemy masters returned to the previous topic and began to discuss alchemy.
Li Shiming also noticed the alchemy furnace in the room. This huge alchemy furnace was more than four meters high and was made of a variety of fourth-grade high-grade materials.
This is probably the highest quality fourth-grade alchemy furnace he has ever seen. It is not only the quality of the materials used in the alchemy furnace, but also the high-level methods used to refine it. It is definitely not something that ordinary weapon refiners can refine.
What concerned him the most was the extremely high spirituality of this alchemy furnace. He even doubted whether there was a weapon spirit in the alchemy furnace.
"Master Li, are you also interested in the Taichu Ding? Unfortunately, the weapon spirit of the Taichu Ding is too strict. Until now, no alchemy master has been recognized by the weapon spirit. The Taichu Ding has never had an owner." Master Yu came.
When he arrived next to Li Shiming, he introduced the alchemy furnace in front of him to Li Shiming.
