Chapter 172: Thousand-year elixir, two consecutive treasures
Latest website:
Lingzhou, Donglingfang City.
When he came here again after a few years, Zhou Chun's mentality was completely different from before.
At that time, he had just reached the Foundation Establishment stage in his own cultivation. He had not yet transferred to the cultivation method, and his spiritual pet, the Silver Lightning Thunder Python, had not been promoted to the second level. He was very weak and did not dare to go out alone.
But now, not only has he successfully transformed himself into the top skill "Golden Cauldron Xuan Gong", but his spiritual pet Silver Lightning Thunder Python has also been promoted to a second-level monster. He can also use secret techniques to stimulate the potential of his bloodline and burst out with comparable foundation-building powers.
The powerful strength of the later monks.
Taken together, these have given him the confidence to face the late-stage foundation-building monks alone.
What's more, he also brought the Vulcan Jackal with him this time.
So after entering Donglingfang City again, Zhou Chun did not deliberately hide his identity and went directly to a store called "Jinji Grocery Store" in Fang City.
It was this shop that revealed the news about the underground auction to the Zhou family.
Now the "Touch of Despair" from Zhou Family Spirit Beast Restaurant has been exported to several nearby states, and Jinji Grocery Store is the one who proactively comes to purchase it.
At that time, the Zhou family's condition for supplying goods to him was to exchange some commercial information.
Zhou Chun entered the grocery store at this time and after explaining his purpose, he quickly got the token to enter the underground auction and the gathering address from the shopkeeper.
After obtaining the token and address in this way, he left the grocery store and went around to Master Jiang's drugstore.
The drugstore was still open at this time, but the shopkeeper inside was changed to a middle-aged woman.
Zhou Chun looked outside the store for a while before turning and leaving.
Although he wanted to take revenge on Master Jiang, he also knew not to make it too obvious, otherwise no one would be fooled by him as long as they were not stupid.
In short, his main task this time is to purchase the Foundation Building Pill.
For the next five or six days, Zhou Chun stayed in the inn in Donglingfang City and didn't go anywhere for a wander.
When the day came for the underground auction to be held, he took the keepsake to the meeting point, and then went through a journey similar to that of the first time he attended the underground auction. He was led to an underground cave hall by being blinded throughout the entire process.
The difference is that the number of monks participating in the underground auction this time was much higher than that time, and there were even two Zifu period monks who did not hide their cultivation.
This situation also made Zhou Chun secretly frightened. He felt that the treasures in this auction were unusual.
Sure enough, as the auctioneer started the auction, one after another extremely high-grade treasures were taken out for auction.
Compared with the previous auctions that Zhou Chun had participated in, the grade of the treasures this time was obviously higher.
"For a foundation-building pill, the starting price is five thousand spirit coins, and each increase in price must not be less than one hundred spirit coins."
It was only the eighth treasure, the Foundation Establishment Pill that Zhou Chun needed for this mission, that was put up for auction.
"Seven thousand spiritual coins!"
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, he was the first to shout out the price, and marked the price up to seven thousand on the spot.
Such behavior also attracted a lot of attention.
However, although this price is not low, it is still lower than the price of the Foundation Establishment Pill that Zhou Chun sold at the last underground auction.
Everyone, please go and try it soon.】
"I will offer you seven thousand five hundred spiritual coins!"
Immediately, several more voices sounded, quickly raising the price to 8,000 spirit coins.
"Nine thousand spiritual coins!"
Zhou Chun spoke up again, his tone firm and forceful, as if he was determined to win.
This price has already exceeded the price of the Foundation Establishment Pill when he last participated in the underground auction.
If it weren't for the recent improvement in the Zhou family's financial situation, and the sooner Zhou Zhengyuan builds a foundation, the better for the family, Zhou Chun might not have the confidence to bid at this time.
But what he didn't expect was that after the price was shouted out, the female voice that had previously covered him up was still following him.
"I offer nine thousand five hundred spiritual coins!"
The woman's voice was also very steady, as if it was far from reaching her psychological limit.
Zhou Chun couldn't help frowning and didn't follow the price for a while.
Other competitors seemed to feel that the price was too high at this time, and no one bid again.
"Nine thousand five hundred spirit coins at a time!"
"Nine thousand five hundred spirit coins twice!"
"Nine……"
Just as the auctioneer was about to finish his final words, Zhou Chun finally spoke again.
"Nine thousand nine hundred spirit coins!"
After shouting out the price, he looked at the female nun.
The other person was wearing a face-covering hat and a loose robe like him, so it was impossible to tell what age he looked.
But his cultivation level is a little higher than him. He is a monk in the middle stage of foundation building.
"I'll give you 10,000 spiritual coins!"
Sure enough, the female cultivator raised the price again without hesitation.
This time Zhou Chun had no choice but to give up.
It's not that he can't afford to follow, it's just that there's no need to continue following.
The female cultivator's determination to win was even stronger than his, and she was afraid that the funds she had prepared would not be much less.
So this foundation-building pill was finally pocketed by the female cultivator at the price of 10,000 spiritual coins.
After the Foundation Establishment Pill, several more treasures passed by, and suddenly the auctioneer took out another item that Zhou Chun cared about.
"The starting price for a Millennium Polygonatum plant is 5,000 spirit coins, and each increase in price must not be less than 100 spirit coins!"
It turned out to be a thousand-year-old elixir!
Zhou Chun looked at the items displayed in the auctioneer's hands in surprise.
It was a Polygonatum japonica with excellent appearance and extremely rich spiritual power, a thousand-year-old elixir.
In the world of immortal cultivation, once the elixir reaches a thousand years of age, it will be difficult for it to appear in the eyes of middle- and low-level monks.
Those high-level monks buy this thousand-year-old elixir all the year round, and the price is very high.
There is a saying in the world of immortality that if you don’t know how to give a gift to a high-level monk, then give him a thousand-year elixir.
No high-level monk would despise the thousand-year elixir as not being of high quality.
The appearance of this thousand-year-old elixir soon caused the two Zifu period monks to join the bidding.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It seems that the two of them came here just for this thing.
When the other monks saw this, even if they wanted to take action, they were unable to compete with the two of them.
In the end, they could only watch as the elixir was bought by a Zifu monk for 8,300 spiritual coins.
Compared with the price of elixirs that are less than a thousand years old, this price gap is not generally large.
Moreover, after the results of this thousand-year-old elixir were obtained, the two Zifu monks turned around and left the underground cave hall, seemingly no longer interested in the subsequent auction.
"I understand. It is estimated that these two Zifu monks have taken a fancy to this elixir in advance, and the people holding the elixir don't want to offend anyone, so they used the underground auction to attract them and let them give it to them.
While the auction brings support, it also allows them to compete based on their financial resources!"
Zhou Chun's eyes flashed as he seemed to understand the reason for the emergence of this thousand-year-old elixir.
Not long after the thousand-year elixir passed away, another thing came into Zhou Chun's sight.
"The second-level high-grade magic weapon [Sun Yao Golden Wheel] was refined by a Yanyang Sect weapon refining master. It is a brand-new magic weapon that has never been refined by anyone before."
On the auction stage, the auctioneer introduced the origin of the magic weapon in his hand while injecting a little mana to activate the magic weapon in his hand.
Immediately, I saw the Golden Wheel Magical Artifact in his hand rapidly emitting golden light, patrolling the sky like a golden sun, exuding an extremely fierce momentum.
The auctioneer went on to say: "According to the weapon-refining master, this object was originally customized by a late-stage foundation-building monk from Yuelun Sect. Due to some reasons, he was unable to pay the follow-up fee, so he made it his own.
Disposal, so you can definitely trust the true power of this thing!"
After finishing speaking, he put away the magic weapon, and then reported the auction's lowest price in a deep voice.
"A second-level high-grade magic weapon [Sun Yao Golden Wheel], the starting price is 4,000 spiritual coins, and each increase in price must not be less than 100 spiritual coins."
Generally, a second-level low-grade magic weapon can be purchased for two to three thousand spirit coins.
However, the price of a second-level high-grade magic weapon is naturally much higher, let alone a high-quality magic weapon that appears at such an auction.
Therefore, the starting price of four thousand spirit coins quickly attracted many monks to bid.
Although Zhou Chun currently holds several magical weapons, he still wants this [Sun Yao Golden Wheel] very much.
Not only because this object reminded him of the [Moon Blade Meteor Wheel] magical weapon that had been with him for a long time, but also because this object really suited him.
He has used this magical weapon before and has rich experience in using it. Compared with the "Flying Dragon Snatcher" in his hand, this weapon is more suitable for frontal attacks.
The "Flying Dragon Seize" magic weapon is more like a magic weapon customized to facilitate combat after the Dragon Transformation Cult monks use "The Secret of Dragon Transformation".
Just like the auctioneer said that the Yuelun Sect monks asked the Yanyang Sect's weapon refining master to customize this Wish Wheel Magical Artifact, if what the auctioneer said is true.
"Six thousand three hundred spirit coins!"
When there were only two or three bidders left, Zhou Chun finally took action.
"Six thousand five hundred spiritual coins!"
"Six thousand nine hundred spirit coins!"
"Seven thousand five hundred spiritual coins!"
Several monks and Zhou Chun were competing for it, and the price followed closely all the way.
In the end, Zhou Chun felt a little impatient and shouted directly: "Eight thousand and eight hundred spirit coins!"
For a moment, the underground cave hall became quiet.
It’s really not cheap to buy a magic weapon at this price.
After being quiet for a while, someone shouted again: "Nine thousand spiritual coins!"
When Zhou Chun heard this, he immediately shouted: "Nine thousand nine hundred spiritual coins!"
This momentum also put great pressure on the bidder.
After a while, he shouted again: "Ten thousand spiritual coins!"
"Ten thousand and eight hundred spiritual coins!"
Zhou Chun followed closely without any hesitation.
So the person who raised the price became completely silent and stopped following me.
"Ten thousand and eight hundred spirit coins at a time!"
"Twice for 10,800 spirit coins!"
"10,800 spirit coins three times, deal done!"
It wasn't until the auctioneer shouted the word "deal" that everything settled.
When Zhou Chun came on stage to deliver the spiritual coins and pocketed the magic weapon, he was filled with emotion.
He hasn't spent more than 10,000 spiritual coins yet, and now he has spent them again.
It’s really easy to make money and easy to spend money!
After spending most of his net worth in this way, Zhou Chun originally calmed down and became a spectator, planning to wait until the underground auction ended.
Not long after, another thing appeared, and he couldn't help but join in the fight again.
"The starting price for an eight-hundred-year-old Chi Jingzhi plant is two thousand spiritual coins, and each increase in price must not be less than one hundred spiritual coins."
As the auctioneer took out the new auction item, Zhou Chun's eyes were fixed on that item.
He had obtained a strain of this elixir called Chi Jingzhi before, and it was only two hundred years old.
The value of this 800-year-old red jingzhi mushroom is naturally several times that of that strain.
Although he couldn't use this elixir, he clearly knew how much the Li family's desire for this elixir was great.
If this 800-year-old Chi Jingzhi is used as the main drug to refine the Li family's secret elixir "Chi Jing Bao Dan", the effect of breaking through the bottleneck level will definitely be better than using a medicine that is 200 to 300 years old.
The elixirs made from red sesame seeds are much stronger.
So after the appearance of this 800-year-old red jingzhi, Zhou Chun suddenly became determined to win it.
But many monks also care about these precious medicines.
After all, the elixir of Chi Jingzhi is also the refining material for many other elixirs for improving mana and power.
As a result, the price quickly climbed higher and higher, causing as many as a dozen monks to compete for it.
Seeing this situation, Zhou Chun could only adopt a wait-and-see strategy.
"Five thousand two hundred spirit coins!"
Suddenly, as an old voice sounded, the underground cave hall suddenly became quiet.
This price is almost equivalent to the market price of the Foundation Establishment Pill, although it is something that has a price but no market.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! There is only one 800-year-old elixir, and many people have to think carefully about whether it is worth it.
But after Zhou Chun heard this voice, his eyes suddenly froze.
"This voice..."
His eyes flickered as he quietly looked at the bidder.
The other party was wearing a black robe, and his face was hazy, making it difficult to see his true face.
But looking at that figure and the familiar voice just now reminded Zhou Chun of someone.
"Master Jiang, is it really you?"
He murmured to himself, and then quickly made a decision.
"Six thousand spiritual coins!"
Zhou Chun opened his mouth and shouted out the new high price.
"It's him again!"
"Who is this fellow Taoist? His cultivation level is not high, but his net worth is very rich!"
"By showing off his wealth in such a high-profile manner, do you really think that others won't dare to touch him?"
Vaguely, some whispers, whether intentional or unintentional, quietly sounded in the underground cave hall.
Apparently Zhou Chun's previous quotations had made a deep impression on the monks present.
The monk who was suspected of being Master Jiang also set his sights on Zhou Chun, who was wearing a bamboo hat.
Fortunately, Zhou Chun had deliberately changed his voice out of caution, so he probably wouldn't be able to recognize her through his voice.
"Six thousand two hundred spiritual coins."
The monk who was suspected of being Master Jiang quickly spoke again, surpassing Zhou Chun's price.
"Six thousand five hundred spiritual coins!"
Zhou Chun never gave in.
"Six thousand eight hundred spiritual coins."
The monk who seemed to be Master Jiang sounded slightly annoyed.
But Zhou Chun continued to shout indifferently: "Seven thousand one hundred spiritual coins."
At this time, the monk who seemed to be Master Jiang looked at him for a long time, but finally did not increase the price.
Previously, a thousand-year-old Polygonatum sibiricum was sold for only more than 8,000 spirit coins. It is impossible for the price of the 800-year-old Chi Jingzhi to rise.
So in the end, Zhou Chun won the item for 7,100 spiritual coins.
But after Zhou Chun handed over the spiritual coins and took the elixir from the auction table, he clearly felt a lot of eyes falling on him.
Obviously, his previous generosity has caused people to have certain thoughts about him.
