Chapter 40 Turtle Eggs
Chapter 40 Turtle Eggs
The spiritual patterns blossomed, transforming into lifelike projections, so vivid that even the auctioneer’s hair could be seen clearly.
In order to better serve the cultivators, the world of immortal cultivation has developed various wonderful spells and formations to perfection.
Li Quanqing looked at it for a few seconds and then looked away, continuing to look at the jade box in his hand.
He took out the four dragon scale grasses one by one, examined them carefully, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure there was no problem.
Although the items to be auctioned had been examined in advance by the appraisers, he was still a little concerned because he had not seen them with his own eyes.
"Qing boy, do you want to feed the green jade carp with dragon scale grass?"
Li Yujiao held a hookah in her hand and puffed out smoke: "This spiritual herb is really effective. It is likely to cultivate a few golden-patterned aliens."
Li Quanqing's heart moved slightly: "I have raised a golden jade carp, and I want to feed it with dragon scale grass. Does Fourth Aunt have any suggestions?"
"You are quite good at raising fish."
Li Yujiao looked surprised: "In that case, it would be a waste to eat it directly. It would be better to refine it into a pill, which can also speed up the spiritual beast's cultivation."
Li Quanlin, who was standing beside him, coughed and secretly poked his junior fellow apprentice: "Our fourth aunt is one of the best alchemists in the family!"
"Glib tongue!"
Li Yujiao smiled and pretended to be angry. The beauty mole at the corner of her eye seemed to come alive, and the girlish innocence came to the fore.
Li Quanqing understood: "Please help me, Fourth Aunt."
He took out a gourd of beauty-enhancing mud. Of the rewards given out, only this last gourd was left.
But the effect is really good and it is very lethal to female cultivators.
"You also raise stone loaches?"
Li Yujiao was not very interested in the spiritual mud, but instead paid attention to another unimportant matter.
Li Quanqing was stunned for a moment, then nodded honestly: "I have seven or eight."
"I have an apprentice who is still some distance away from becoming a true alchemist."
"This beauty-nourishing mud is like a pill, but it's not a pill. It's most suitable for apprentices to practice with. What do you think?"
Li Quanqing was naturally very willing: "I will listen to Fourth Aunt."
"Okay, I'll introduce you two to each other later."
Li Yujiao took the dragon scale grass and said, "There are many people who come to me to make pills. It will take a month. Will you come and get it then?"
"I'll come to get the elixir for the boss and send it back to Qingpan Island, Fourth Aunt."
After listening for a long time, Li Quanfu finally seized the opportunity to interrupt, and ran over happily with a simple and honest look on his face.
"This boy is..." Li Yujiao glanced over.
"The guy in charge of my shop, grandson of Mr. Kunshui."
"So it's Uncle Nineteen's bloodline, so I'll give it to you."
Li Yujiao treated her clansmen very well. She took out a jade pendant and handed it to the little fat man: "If you encounter any problems in business, take it to the auction house manager and I will tell them. We can't let outsiders bully our family!"
Seeing this, Li Quanqing suddenly felt touched.
At this point, the auctioneer finally finished his polite remarks and the auction officially began.
In order to liven up the atmosphere, the first item chosen was very precious.
The top-grade magic weapon, the Green Scale Shield.
The Li family's iconic magic weapon is also a defensive treasure. There is an endless stream of bidding and it is very popular.
The price went straight to the four hundred spirit stones mark.
Li Quanqing was shocked. For those green water python eggs, he sold his black tortoise shield. Now he was in need of a defensive magic weapon.
Unfortunately, it’s too expensive.
"The hall master said that when you become a mid-level weapon refiner, he will reward you with a green scale shield, which is considered a family benefit for our weapon refiners."
Li Quanlin winked at the side and said, "Don't tell anyone about this."
"I know, I know!"
Li Quanqing chuckled.
With his current level of weapon refining, he is confident that he can forge a mid-grade Green Carp Sword.
He decided to take this reward on the eve of the family competition and go into battle with the strongest attitude.
In the end, the Green Scale Shield was bought by a casual cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining for 480 low-grade spirit stones, and he left on the spot.
The auction items were one after another, making people dazzled.
The weapon refiners in the box took action one after another, demonstrating what it meant to be arrogant, throwing out handfuls of spirit stones. Li Quanqing was very jealous.
He had about 500 spirit stones left. He didn't like the cheap ones and couldn't afford the expensive ones, so he just bought a few bottles of animal food pills.
"A longevity turtle egg, a famous monster, the best choice to buy back to protect the family, the starting price is fifty spirit stones!"
A familiar auction item appeared. Li Quanqing took a look at it but had no interest in making a bid.
"One hundred spirit stones!"
Unexpectedly, the Third Elder seemed to care a lot and directly doubled the price.
There were not many monks who wanted to buy the longevity turtle. He took the initiative and no one competed with him in bidding, so he successfully bought the turtle eggs.
"The cub of the three-headed thunder-horned python, the starting price is five hundred spirit stones!"
Compared to the indifference of the Longevity Turtle, the Thunder-Horned Python simply ignited the entire audience.
Li Quanqing also wanted it, but unfortunately even emptying his storage bag was not enough.
In the end, the three-headed snake cub was auctioned at a high price of two thousand six hundred spirit stones.
An adult Thunder-Horn Python is in the late stage of Qi Refining. If trained properly, it can reach the Great Perfection of Qi Refining in thirty or forty years.
With the same amount of time and resources, the Longevity Turtle could only reach the first or second level of Qi Refining.
The difference is clear at a glance.
The appearance of the Thunder-Horned Python seemed to be a signal that the auction had finally reached its final stage.
"A Tonghua Pill, a top-grade elixir that can help a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining break through!"
The signature elixir of the Wang family of Tonghua Island. Although the family only has one foundation-building cultivator, it ranks last among the five major families.
But in terms of the number of cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining, they are among the best.
This Tong Hua Dan was eventually auctioned for 1,200 spirit stones, and the competition was fierce.
Li Quanqing glanced at the guy who bought the pills. The other person was wrapped in a robe. He wondered if he was his uncle.
"A broken second-level [Thousand Lotus Sword Formation] formation disk, excavated from the ruins of an ancient cultivator. After being activated, its power is comparable to that of a first-level top-grade formation. If it is a formation master, perhaps he can comprehend the ancient cultivator's inheritance from it."
It was another good thing, but unfortunately no one present was interested in it.
The Li family is good at refining equipment, and the one with the strongest array formation inheritance is the Situ family of Taiyuan Island.
The Situ family has seven foundation-building monks and a third-order formation to protect the Taiyuan Islands. They are the undisputed number one in strength.
I heard that when the cultivators were reclaiming the wasteland a thousand years ago, the Situ family was still a large Jindan family, although it has declined now.
But he is still respected and treated favorably by the superior sect, the Shuihua Sword Sect.
Unexpectedly, the person who finally obtained the [Thousand Lotus Sword Formation] was a woman with a cold voice.
The other party was also in the box and did not show his face.
Next came five or six more precious treasures, including even a "Pulse Protecting Pill".
This kind of elixir can protect the meridians and assist cultivators in breaking through the foundation.
Even if the breakthrough fails, the meridians can be protected and life can be saved.
"Next, we have the last item of this auction, the top-grade magical weapon - the Jade Armor!"
The armor, shining with precious light, was sent to the auction table. It was as crystal clear as jade, and like a green lotus slowly blooming.
"Let's go, it's meaningless!"
Li Kunli stood up, and the other weapon refiners also prepared to leave one by one.
Li Quanqing also did not pay attention to the results of the auction.
This piece of green jade armor was forged by the Third Elder some time ago, and it was a task assigned to him by the family.
They may not care, but the entire auction hall is vying for it.
The eyes of those independent cultivators who were at the late stage of Qi Refining and Great Perfection level were all red.
It is no exaggeration to say that this defensive magical weapon that looks like a full body armor is like a second life!
Put on the armor and be invincible at the same level!
Even the monks from small families joined in this madness.
Everyone came to the place where they had to pay the spirit stones. Even through the walls, they could still hear the noise from the auction venue.
"Here are your five bottles of animal food pills, please keep them."
Li Quanqing was about to count them carefully when the third elder suddenly came over and handed him a dark green turtle egg.
"Here, it's your eighteenth birthday present."
