Originally, the deacons in charge of the Zhenbao Pavilion wanted to make a brief speech to liven up the atmosphere and let the many late-stage Qi Refining monks who had finally gathered together to exchange feelings. After hearing this, they had no choice but to give up this plan and wait until the filming was completed.
More to come later.
The time of the foundation-building monks is very precious, and they must consider every word carefully, lest they fail to do it right.
The auction starts quickly.
Everyone got the pen and paper sent by the maid.
The auction method of Zhenbao Pavilion is very strange. The quotation is not made out loud, but in writing. Although it will be slower, it is better than being secretive.
In this way, even if someone has evil thoughts, it is impossible to easily know who took the Foundation Establishment Pill.
In this regard, Iron Sword Sect has undoubtedly learned a lot of lessons.
After getting paper and pen, everyone entered a corridor under the guidance of the female cultivator, with two separated rooms in the middle.
Everyone filed in, and when they got to the separate room, they could take out pen and paper and write down the price on it.
Then take the other exit and walk back to Zhikeyuan.
With the Foundation Establishment Realm here, no one dares to do anything.
When Lu Nan walked into the house, he took out a pen and paper and wrote 8000 medium-grade spiritual stones on it, then folded it, opened the door and walked out.
The whole process takes less than five seconds, and it is difficult for people behind to guess from the time whether he has made a quotation.
When he returned to Zhike Courtyard, he found a seat and sat down. Then a female cultivator came over to collect his paper and delivered it to the foundation-building cultivator.
Most monks understand the process, so it only takes about a quarter of an hour to go around.
After collecting the papers, not long after, the first round of quotations came out.
"The highest price is No. 8, 9,000 mid-grade spiritual stones!"
Guangming said loudly.
"Now, start the second round!"
The female nun continued to distribute the numbered papers.
Everyone walked through the corridor one by one to make the second round of quotations.
"Second round, 9950 mid-grade spiritual stones!"
"The increase this time is a bit small, it should have almost reached the limit!" Lu Nan thought to himself.
There are five Foundation Establishment Pills in total this time, but Lu Nan doesn't want to wait in case something unexpected happens later.
For the third round of quotations, Lu Nan directly wrote 11,000 mid-grade spiritual stones on the paper.
"In the third round, the highest price is the 11,000 spirit stones on the 17th! Next is the fourth round!"
······
"In the fourth round, the highest price is 11,500 medium-grade spiritual stones on the 16th!"
Lu Nan frowned, but he didn't expect that even if he failed to win, the robbery this time was indeed fierce enough.
"Add five hundred more!"
Twelve thousand is almost the limit. If it doesn’t work out, you can wait for the next few.
In the fifth round of auction, Lu Nan wrote on the paper twelve thousand medium-grade spiritual stones!
"In the fifth round, the highest price is twelve thousand mid-grade spiritual stones on the 17th! Next, is the sixth round!"
······
"In the sixth round, the highest price is still 12,000 mid-grade spiritual stones on the 17th! Congratulations to this fellow Taoist for winning the first Foundation Establishment Pill!"
"Start the second auction!"
Lu Nan has not left. Leaving now will undoubtedly expose himself. Even if there are sect rules, he does not want to use his own life to test the bottom line of others.
The auction of five foundation-building pills lasted for more than an hour.
The prices were basically around 12,000, especially the last two, which were sold for more than 13,000, which made Lu Nan very happy.
······
"This is your elixir!"
The Foundation Establishment Pill is not in the hands of the deacon of the Treasure Pavilion, but in the hands of Li Ming, a monk in the Foundation Establishment Realm.
"Thank you, senior!"
In the world of spiritual practice, those who are masters come first. Looking at the other person’s age, he must have lived for more than a hundred years.
The lifespan of a Foundation Establishment monk can be up to three hundred years. Of course, there are differences between the early stage of Foundation Establishment and the later stage of Foundation Establishment, but no matter what, the lifespan of two hundred years is definitely there.
If the other party is only a hundred years old, it will be equivalent to the appearance of an ordinary human being at fifty years old. If the other party is one hundred and fifty years old, it will be equivalent to the appearance of an ordinary person at sixty or seventy years old.
There are traces of these.
Li Ming nodded and said lightly: "I see that you are new to me. I think this is the first time you have received the Foundation Establishment Pill, so I would like to remind you that it is best to take this pill when the heaven is shrouded. In this way, you can
Make it effective!"
"I dare to ask senior, what is Tianji?"
Li Ming said: "Tianji is a feeling. When you feel that you should be promoted to the Foundation Establishment Realm, it is Tianji! This matter is actually a bit mysterious, but you can understand it as long as you experience it for the first time!"
first?
Could it be that you still think that I should come a few more times?
Lu Nan took the Foundation Establishment Pill and left without attracting anyone else's attention. After a while, he returned to the yard of the Foreign Affairs Office.
There was no one taking care of the courtyard, but for immortal cultivators like them, it was not too troublesome. He took a small cleaning talisman and cast it on the chair, and the next moment, the chair became spotless.
"Foundation Pill!"
Sitting on the chair, looking at the crystal clear elixir in the jade bottle, a complex look appeared in his eyes.
The figure of Mo Quli leaving alone came to mind again.
"If Golden Finger doesn't remove the barrier to promotion to Foundation Establishment, then with my talent, it may be difficult to break through!"
He will definitely not be willing to give up. When the time comes, he will inevitably earn more spiritual stones to buy Foundation Establishment Pills.
but--
Once, twice, three times——
How many times can he sustain it?
Lu Nan even hesitated for a moment. If he waited thirty to fifty years, when his life span was almost up, and then tried to build the foundation, he would naturally not be so disadvantaged by then.
After all, you have lived for as long as you should live, so if you die, you will die!
only--
"What if it should have succeeded in the second or third time? But because it has lost its lifespan and cannot continue to try, then the loss will be huge!"
Lu Nan was not the kind of person who liked gambling, but he found that as long as he lived in this world, there would always be some helplessness.
I don't know if it was because he got the Foundation Establishment Pill, but he had a vague feeling in his heart that the day for his Foundation Establishment was coming soon.
"Perhaps this is the so-called secret?"
he murmured.
······
Five days later, the New Year's Eve has arrived.
Fairy City is full of all kinds of lively atmosphere, and places that are usually tepid like Beauty Square, restaurants, and teahouses have become a bit more lively.
Lu Nan asked Qin Feng to help bring a message to the guards in Qinghu Town, saying that he would go back a few days late.
As a deacon, I still have this little power.
Then, he walked towards the Duobao Talisman Shop.
Outside the Fu Shop, Han Ping was hanging a lantern. She didn't use a ladder or anything, she just used Qing Kung Fu and jumped up, holding on to the eaves with one hand and hanging the lantern with the other.
As a cultivator, these are all trivial matters.
Lu Nan stood at the bottom and looked up, then turned away with embarrassment.
Under the light blue robe, Han Ping's somewhat plump curves made him blush.
"Friend Lu Dao!"
Han Ping also noticed someone underneath, her brows furrowed, her slender legs closed slightly, and she clamped her robe.
Although the robe was tied inside and would not be exposed, she did not want others to see her in this posture.
Just when I looked down, I suddenly smiled.
"Come here without saying hello!"
"Um, didn't you just arrive?"
"Really just arrived?"
Lu Nan's face straightened, "Absolutely!"
The two of them stopped worrying about this and entered the store.
Although it was still early, there were already several people looking at things in the store.
Lu Nan saw a woman explaining to the monks who were looking at things. Judging from the figure, it seemed that she was not the Xu Ying from before.
"Where's Xu Ying?" I asked casually.
Han Ping said: "She must have found another way out! By the way, let me introduce to you my sister! Xiaoyu!"
Li Yu, who was working, turned his head and was about to respond, when suddenly his eyes widened, as if he had seen some incredible sight.
"Li Yu?" Lu Nan opened his eyes.
I thought to myself: Women are really changing at the age of 18, they look different every day!
In just two short years of not seeing each other, this person has become much more mature.
······
In the backyard of Fu shop, Lu Nan listened to Li Yu talking loudly, as if he wanted to tell all the grievances he had suffered in the past two years.
In particular, the grievances suffered by Li Yuan were clearly stated.
However, she also knew that this was a fairy city, so she did not reveal the identities of herself and others.
After listening to her story, Lu Nan frowned tightly.
Master stopped me?
Want to find another good family for Li Yuan?
Li Yu's eyes were red, thinking that he had suffered a lot of grievances during this period.
"It's okay, wait until I finish all these things and then I'll come with you!"
Li Yu nodded. In her opinion, as long as Lu Nan arrived, she and her aunt would definitely be able to convince the master.
Alas, I don’t know how Senior Lu got here in the past two years.
The robe that Lu Nan wore seemed to be of a low-key color. No matter how high-end the robe was, in his hands, he would find a way to cover up the high-end color.
Therefore, Li Yu couldn't tell anything from the robe.
When Lu Nan replied to her just now, the hesitation in his tone was more like a sign of lack of confidence.
"Senior Lu, actually, you don't have to worry too much. Aunt and I are here, and we will definitely put in good words for you when the time comes!" Li Yu reassured.
Lu Nan was stunned for a moment, and after understanding what Li Yu meant, he couldn't help but smile: "Thank you so much, fellow Taoist Li!"
Li Yu stiffened slightly, then rolled his eyes at Lu Nan.
"Senior Lu, please remove the small print. I am now a mid-stage Qi Refining monk!"
Lu Nan nodded secretly.
He knew that Li Yu's talent was average, but if there were sufficient resources, the middle stage of Qi refining would not be difficult.
The reason for hesitation is not because of any grudge, but simply because - he is about to build a foundation.
Although Li Yu tried his best to conceal it, it was not difficult to guess the identities of Li Yuan and others.
Sanyuan Sect!
If he is asked to pay homage to the enemy at this late stage of Qi refining, isn't this too long for his life?
Last year, he personally beheaded several late-stage Qi-refining monks from the Sanyuan Sect. If the Sanyuan Sect had a hatred ranking, he would probably be on the list!
"I can't go back with you now, let's talk about it later!" Lu Nan said.
"How long will that take?"
"Don't know yet!"
Li Yu's face looked a little sad, "Actually, there is a reason why my aunt and I left without saying goodbye! When the time comes in the future, we will tell you, senior, so I would like to ask senior -"
"Okay, okay!" Seeing tears welling up in Li Yu's eyes, Lu Nan couldn't help but said, "It's none of your business. I really have business. I can't help it. Who told me I'm from the Iron Sword Foreign Affairs Office?"
Where’s the butler!”
Li Yu nodded subconsciously, "Deacon, that's good. Only if you are very strong -"
Suddenly, she jumped up from the chair, with a look of disbelief on her face.
"Deacon?"
Lu Nan blinked and took out his identity jade tag.
After seeing the above information, her face was a little stiff and shocked.
"No...Didn't it mean that one must at least be in the advanced stage of Qi refining to become a deacon? Senior Lu, you——"
"Hmm~~Maybe it's enlightening me! I kept practicing and went up!" Lu Nan said with a smile.
"I...I..." Li Yu was a little incoherent, and his expression was very complicated, but mostly he was shocked.
At this time, she suddenly realized something and asked: "This talisman shop——"
"That's right! It's mine! Your sister Han is just helping me take care of it!"
Lu Nan said.
Li Yu sat back on the chair, as if he had not yet reacted to the news.
Lu Nan smiled and walked out.
"Is it okay for you to tell her this? I think she seems to be hiding something from you!" Han Ping said softly, standing guard outside the door.
"I know, it's okay. I'm going back to Qinghu Town in a few days, and I probably won't be back for a while. As for Li Yu, I'd like you to help take care of me!" Lu Nan said, turned around and walked out.
Han Ping looked at his back with a dazed look in her eyes. She felt that Lu Nan this time was completely different from before, with a hint of tragedy.
She ran out quickly.
The streets are empty, where is Lu Nan’s figure?
"Sister Han! Sister Han! Where is Senior Lu?" Li Yu walked out and asked when he saw Han Ping standing in front of the door.
"He left for something! He said he might be gone for a long time!"
"Then I'll wait for him here!" Li Yu said.
"I'll wait with you!" Han Ping said with a smile.
······
The aura of mana doesn't seem to be very conspicuous in the daytime.
Lu Nan stepped on the magic sword and looked at the two tiny figures below with a hint of complexity in his eyes.
"Building foundation..."
Looking up at the sky, the feeling in my mind became stronger and stronger.
He went back to Qinghu Town and said goodbye to the foundation-building monks, just like asking for leave from his boss.
Building the foundation is a major event in a monk's life. Even the Iron Sword Sect cannot restrain the monks on this point, otherwise the people's hearts will be completely broken.
Lu Nan left the Immortal Garden late one night with the Red-Blooded Dark Snake.
He stayed in Fangshi for two days and made a large circle using Qinggong. After finding that no one was following him, he left with his sword at a low altitude.
After going through this for many times, he was completely relieved and finally withdrew the flying sword and fell into a mountain forest.
The thick earth made him feel relaxed, so he began to walk forward aimlessly step by step.
Drink the rain and dew in the morning and watch the red clouds in the evening.
Running and chasing wild beasts in the forest, bathing in the rain and vegetation, the whole person seems to be completely immersed in nature.
