Zhou Chen knew that he was cursed and was pressed for time, so he did not dare to neglect his cultivation. He practiced whenever he had free time and did not want to waste time.
In the past few days, when I was sitting on Xiao Hei's back, I also put my mind into the Hunyuan Pearl to practice martial arts. The Hunyuan Pearl can greatly improve the perception, and it is twice the result with half the effort for martial arts training. Now I have mastered the Jiba Fist and Skyshaft Hand, and the first move of Burning Heaven.
Yanblade has also reached great perfection, and Yanjing has also reached a small level of success.
The next morning...
After a night of practice, there were signs of breaking through to the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, but Zhou Chen was not in a hurry to break through.
Zhou Chen withdrew from his cultivation state, cleaned up, put on his black robe and prepared to go to the auction.
Today is the day when the Tianbao Pavilion auction is held. All forces are gathering in the direction of Tianbao Pavilion. The road is bustling with people and there are monks and carriages everywhere.
"Look, those are the troops of the Wuji Alliance. They are so powerful."
"Although the Wuji Alliance is powerful, the Blood Demon Sect behind it is not weak either."
"Look, those are the men from the Sirius Gang."
"The Tianlang Gang is one of the most powerful forces in Huaiyang City. They act extremely arrogantly and most people don't dare to provoke them. The young man in front should be Fei Wu, the son of Pei Tu, the leader of the Tianlang Gang."
"The names of the father and son are a bit unique."
"If you say a few words, your skin will be peeled off if someone overhears you."
After saying that, the man was brutally pulled into the back alley by several strong men.
In the middle of the road, a rough-looking man was walking struttingly on the road. It was Fei Wu, the young leader of the Tianlang Gang, followed by a group of fierce and strong men. Listening to the comments of the people around him, he seemed to be enjoying himself and felt very handsome.
"Where do those people come from?"
"Those are the people from Tianya Pavilion."
"The headquarters of Tianya Pavilion should be in Shenyun City. It's not a force in Huaiyang City, so why did it come to participate in this auction?"
"Maybe you already know that there are needed items being auctioned here, so you come to Huaiyang City to participate in the auction. This kind of auction will notify some big forces in advance."
"I heard that Li Qingyuan, the master of Tianya Pavilion, has a daughter named Li Ke'er. She is a great beauty. I don't know how many men dream of kissing her."
"You'd better tie up your belt, it's about to fall off. Can you even imagine a beauty of this stature? This Tianya Pavilion is not weaker than the Tianlang Gang."
"I can't even think about it. I've thought about it many times in my dreams."
"No, she is mine, get out of here."
…
A group of people came from behind. The leader was a woman, her face covered with white gauze, riding a white horse. She had a slender figure and a curvy body. Although her appearance could not be clearly seen, her exquisite figure had already made people think.
The woman was followed by two old men on her left and a group of men wearing sect martial robes behind her.
The man from the Tianlang Gang turned his head and glanced at the woman behind him, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, then turned around and walked straight towards Tianbao Pavilion.
Zhou Chen, who was dressed in black robe, had already arrived at Tianbao Pavilion when a man stopped him at the entrance of the auction house.
"Please show your admission card." the man said.
Zhou Chen took out the purple card that Yu Lingyun gave him and handed it to him.
The man was surprised when he saw Zika.
"Is it Mr. Huangtian?" the man said, cupping his hands.
Zhou Chen nodded slightly.
"Sir, please follow me into the venue. The shopkeeper has already told me that a separate box has been prepared for you." The man led Zhou Chen into the venue and said respectfully.
Zhou Chen was a little surprised. He didn't expect Yu Lingyun to arrange a separate box for himself.
The man led Zhou Chen into a private room. The furnishings in the private room were very elegant and simple in style, but the combination made them feel very coordinated and not exaggerated.
Various spiritual foods and spiritual teas have been placed in the private room, and there is also a maid dedicated to serving them.
Zhou Chen couldn't help but sigh, it feels good to be a rich man.
"The shopkeeper asked me to inform you, sir, that your items will be auctioned in the first round, and the spiritual stones will be given to you directly after the settlement." The maid said respectfully.
Zhou Chen nodded slightly.
The central auction table can be clearly seen in the box, while the surrounding boxes are hazy, but you can tell without looking that some local forces are sitting in it. The auction has not started yet, and Zhou Chen is eating his food out of boredom.
Eat, sip spiritual tea, and chat with Lie Tianzun about some things.
"Boy, come in and take a look, I've discovered something recently." Lie Tianzun suddenly said,
Zhou Chen entered the Hunyuan Pearl without saying a word.
"Boy, do you feel any changes around here?"
Zhou Chen looked around the Hunyuan Pearl, then rode on Xiao Hei and ran towards the edge. After running around for a circle, Zhou Chen returned to Lie Tianzun and said, "Teacher, the space of the Hunyuan Pearl has become larger. I ran out to at least go up."
It takes a thousand feet to reach the edge.”
It is actually easy to see from a distance of thousands of feet, but the white inside of the Hunyuan Pearl affects the line of sight.
"And I found a door." Zhou Chen said with a solemn expression.
"Well, I also discovered that door." Lie Tianzun frowned and said, "It should have appeared after the space was expanded. I have never seen it before."
One person, one soul and one beast came to the door. This door was very strange, about ten feet high, and it just stood in the open space. The front and back were empty, as if it were a decoration, but their intuition told them that it was not that simple.
"What should I do? Teacher, open it?" Zhou Chen hesitated and couldn't understand the situation.
"Don't move for now. If something weird comes out later, we have to explain it here." Lie Tianzun said with a serious expression.
"Go out first, I'll do some research and then talk about it."
"Well, please be careful. Xiao Hei, don't run around, you know?"
Zhou Chen touched Xiao Hei's head, and the Hunyuan Pearl appeared in his mind.
…
There are more and more people in the venue. The entire venue can accommodate thousands of people, and today it is packed.
The auction hasn't started yet, and the box is isolated by a formation. People outside can't see inside the box, and the inside can't hear the noise outside.
Suddenly, the lights on the central auction stage turned on, and a middle-aged man slowly walked onto the auction stage and handed over to the audience.
"Welcome to the Tianbao Pavilion's auction. I am Lu Yunlin, the deputy shopkeeper of the Huaiyang City branch of Tianbao Pavilion. I won't talk nonsense here. I announce that the auction has officially begun!"
The fog around the box dispersed, and the venue began to become noisy.
Soon, a slim woman walked up to the stage carrying a jade plate. There was a porcelain bottle of elixir on the jade plate.
"Everyone, the first auction item today is the Foundation Establishment Pill..." Lu Yunlin picked up the porcelain bottle and said.
Before Lu Yunlin finished speaking, all kinds of noises could be heard in the venue, filled with dissatisfaction and boos.
"Deputy Shopkeeper Lu, Tianbao Pavilion is considered a big force, so using the Foundation Establishment Pill to warm up the auction at the beginning would be too disrespectful."
"Yes, the Foundation Establishment Pills are also put up for auction. What do you think in Tianbao Pavilion? There is still a lot of unfinished money in the labor and management ring."
"Stop photographing this kind of garbage, just feed it to pigs."
"What the hell are you talking about? Labor and management are still eating? Do you want to die?"
…
There was chaos in the venue, with all kinds of insults and even fights.
"Everyone, everyone, don't be anxious, just listen to what I have to say." Lu Yunlin was not angry, he raised his hand and said.
"This bottle of Foundation Establishment Pill is not an ordinary Foundation Establishment Pill." After saying that, Lu Yunlin opened the cork of the porcelain bottle and took out a pill. A strong medicinal fragrance filled the entire venue.
"The fragrance of this medicine is so strong, I feel like I'm going to have a breakthrough!"
"This medicine, this fragrance, is the Foundation Building Pill? Are you kidding me?"
"I want this Foundation Establishment Pill. No one wants to snatch it from me."
"Are you farting? This is an auction. Do you want it if you say you want it? The labor and management have paid for it, how much do you want?"
The venue once again erupted, but this time there was no ridicule or dissatisfaction. They were all shocked by the medicinal fragrance of this foundation-building pill.
"Please pay attention here, everyone. This is a Foundation Establishment Pill with dazzling patterns. It is 50% more effective than ordinary Foundation Establishment Pills." Lu Yunlin said, pointing to the light white lines on the Foundation Establishment Pills.
Wow!
The scene once again erupted in exclamations!
"Dazzling Pattern Foundation Building Pill, I don't know how many years I haven't seen this thing."
"Come on, you've never seen Haowa before."
"Labour and management are going to use the Dazzling Pattern Foundation Establishment Pill to break through to the Cave Heaven Realm. Whoever fights against me will be in a hurry."
"Are you prepared to take such a high-grade elixir? Why don't you just stay cool and relax."
…
Listening to the various sounds in the venue, Zhou Chen, who was under the black robe, felt very happy. He never expected that this dazzling pattern foundation-building pill would be so popular.
"Dazzling pattern foundation-building pills, three in a bottle, starting price is 3,000 low-grade spiritual stones, and the price increase will not be less than 100 spiritual stones at a time." Lu Yunlin raised the porcelain bottle and said.
"Three thousand."
"Three thousand five hundred."
"You guys can't help me. I'll give you 4,500 spiritual stones."
"Five thousand."
…
In the end, this bottle of dazzling pattern foundation-building pill was sold for 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones, and the other bottle of dazzling pattern foundation-building pill was sold for 12,000 spiritual stones.
There is a limit to the amount of elixirs that monks can use in each realm. The more you take, the efficacy of the elixir will decrease. Therefore, the value of a single elixir with a higher efficacy is not based on the pure strength of the elixir for monks in this realm.
As a rule, some wealthy children who are not short of money will of course choose to use the best elixirs. Assuming that the upper limit of ordinary elixirs taken in a realm is ten, the upper limit of taking dazzling grain elixirs is fifteen.
The next auction was Zhou Chen's dazzling pattern spirit-gathering pill, which was also very popular, and the transaction price was not low. Five bottles of dazzling pattern spirit-gathering pill were auctioned for a total of 40,000 spirit stones.
The maid returned to the box and came to Zhou Chen's side.
"Sir, the total amount of spiritual stones you obtained from this auction is 62,000. After deducting the 15% handling fee, plus ten bottles of ordinary spirit-gathering pills and ten bottles of ordinary foundation-building pills, our Tianbao Pavilion will sell the spirit-gathering pills for two hundred and one thousand.
We will recycle the Spirit Gathering Pill at the price of 400 pieces, and we will recycle the Spirit Gathering Pill at the price of 400 pieces, leaving a total of 70,700 spirit stones. Do you think you should exchange them for physical items or record them in the purple card?"
"Let's change it to something real. By the way, why is the handling fee 15%? Didn't your shopkeeper say it's 20%?" Zhou Chen was a little confused.
"Our shopkeeper tells you that in the future, if your elixirs or other items are auctioned, Tianbao Pavilion will only charge you 15% of the handling fee." The maid replied.
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Yu, for me." Zhou Chen understood that it was the auction situation of the Xuan Pattern Foundation Establishment Pill that had just made Tianbao Pavilion realize its own value and show goodwill to him.
In less than a cup of tea, the maid entered the box with a Nai ring.
"Sir, here is your spiritual stone."
Zhou Chen put away the ring and sighed in his heart, this elixir business is so profitable. He only spent 6,000 spirit stones, and now he has obtained more than 70,000 spirit stones. He still has three bottles of dazzling pattern foundation building pills in his hand.
, which is equivalent to six thousand turned into one hundred thousand. No wonder Xuan Tianzun said that it is easy to make money by making alchemy.
