Chapter 4: Level 2 Peiyuan Pill, Health-preserving Exercise
Chapter 4: Second-level Peiyuan Pill, Health-preserving Exercise
Wei Zhong found his seat and sat down. The auction was held in a closed place. There were eight areas divided according to the eight trigrams, and three attics were suspended above.
"The Li family, the Chen family, and the other one is the Yan family? Or is it the Qingmu clan?"
Wei Zhong was guessing in his mind.
Wei Zhong didn't have to wait too long. The auction was soon held and a middle-aged man came to the stage.
"I am Yan Ruhai, and I will host this auction."
After he finished speaking, he exuded the aura of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Naturally, no one objected to a Foundation Establishment cultivator presiding over the auction.
Yan Ruhai, the current head of the Yan family, was in the middle stage of foundation building. He had attended several important events of the Yan family, and Wei Zhong had also met him several times.
It is rumored that the Yan family has another ancestor who is a cultivator in the late foundation building stage. I don’t know whether it is true or not.
After the opening remarks, the auction officially began.
A nun in a silk dress came on stage from the back, holding a round plate covered with a red scarf.
He only stopped when he reached Yan Ruhai.
The first lot is ten bottles of mid-grade Qi-nourishing Pills, with a starting price of three hundred low-grade spirit stones.
Ten bottles of medium-grade Qi-nourishing Pills contain a hundred pills, and the cheapest one on the market costs at least five hundred spirit stones.
Such a large number of Qi-nourishing Pills cannot be consumed by an ordinary cultivator. At least only those with powerful families have the ability and willingness to purchase them.
"Three hundred and ten..."
"Three hundred and twenty..."
The first item was "snatched" by people in the audience and was eventually bought by a strange hooded monk for 420 spirit stones.
His attire blocked the detection of spiritual consciousness, making it impossible for the other practitioners to know his true identity.
"I want to get something like this in the future."
Wei Zhong looked at the black hood with a bit of fiery eyes.
The ten bottles of pills were just appetizers. With the display of the second top-grade item, the attention of the cultivators was attracted again.
"A second-order low-grade magical weapon, the mother-child water and fire sword. This magical weapon is an incomplete second-order magical weapon. The mother sword is of the water attribute and is of the second-order level, but the child sword is missing. The weapon refiner of my clan refined a first-order high-grade fire-attributed child sword to fill it in..."
Although it was a half-broken second-level magical weapon, it still caused a stir at the auction venue.
The cultivators made bids frequently, and even the sky attic received offers from time to time.
Sun Zhou looked at the second-level magic weapon below with a bit of envy in his eyes.
The middle-aged monk beside him said:
“This sword is just a broken second-level magic weapon, and its properties conflict with your water and wood spiritual roots, so it is not suitable for you.
Instead of being jealous of the magic weapon, it is better to think about the true teachings. Then the elders of the sect will naturally help you refine a suitable magic weapon."
After hearing this, Sun Zhou retracted his gaze and said respectfully:
"Thank you for your guidance, Master. I understand."
"But Master, is there really a second-level Peiyuan Pill at this auction?"
The second-level Peiyuan Pill is not like the first-level pills that are used by various races to train new Qi-refining disciples. Instead, it is used to repair the physical foundation of the cultivators, and has a certain effect of strengthening the foundation and nourishing the essence. It is also effective for foundation-building cultivators.
"The information I got is not wrong. Just wait."
As we were talking, I don’t know how many items were auctioned downstairs.
"The next lot is the second-level Peiyuan Pill. I don't need to elaborate on its efficacy. The starting price is three hundred low-grade spirit stones, and each bid must not be less than ten spirit stones."
'Finally it's here. This pill is exactly what I need.'
While thinking, the price had been raised by more than eighty yuan by other cultivators, so Wei Zhong quickly made an offer:
"Four hundred low-grade spirit stones."
"Five hundred low-grade spirit stones."
This voice came from the attic above. The sudden increase in the price by one hundred made the auction venue silent for a moment.
"Someone upstairs has also made a move, trouble!" However, this pill is related to Wei Zhong's future path, so he can't give up easily. He made an offer:
"Five hundred and fifty low-grade spirit stones."
······
"Six hundred low-grade spirit stones."
Wei Zhong gritted his teeth and said, "Six hundred and fifty low-grade spirit stones."
At this moment, no other cultivators made any offers, only Wei Zhong was competing with the mysterious cultivator.
Seeing Wei Zhong being so generous, people around couldn't help but turn their attention to him.
"It turned out to be Wei Zhong. No wonder. I heard that his life span is coming to an end. It turns out that he is injured. He wants to heal his injuries and prolong his life!"
"My fellow Taoist, who is this Wei Zhong?"
"Haha, he is a well-known spiritual farmer in the Yan family. It is said that he has been farming in the Yan family for more than 60 years."
"Oh, it turns out to be just a spiritual farmer. No wonder I haven't heard of its name in the outside world."
There were voices of people talking around.
Wei Zhong made several bids, which eventually aroused the displeasure of the monks in the pavilion.
The middle-aged man extended his spiritual consciousness and released his foundation-building pressure without reservation.
"I want to see who will compete with me for it."
The huge spiritual pressure of foundation building enveloped the entire venue, and the Qi Refiners below were all shocked by this momentum.
Cold sweat broke out on Wei Zhong's forehead, and he didn't wait for him to think more.
Yan Ruhai on the stage also released his own spiritual pressure, and the vast pressure of foundation building swept away the dull atmosphere on the field for a moment.
"Friend Wang, don't make the mistake. The elixir goes to the one who offers the highest price. Don't break the rules of this auction."
The mysterious monk with the surname Wang then withdrew his spiritual pressure and thought to himself: Yan Ruhai is so spiritual, he is probably not far from the late stage of foundation building.
A bit of fear appeared on his face:
"Fellow Daoist Yan, you misunderstood. I just came here from Qingmu Sect, and I thought my enemy had specially hired someone to target me. It was just an impulse.
I will offer another 700 low-grade spirit stones. If you are wealthy, you can continue to raise the price."
There was a hint of threat in his words.
Wei Zhong understood that he probably would not get the elixir because the other party was determined to get it.
Even if you bid high and win, the other party is likely to kill you for the treasure.
“It turns out to be a master from the Qingmu Sect! This auction has even attracted the Qingmu Sect. That’s a large sect with many Jindan cultivators…”
The Qi-refining monks couldn't help but talk among themselves.
Wei Zhong stopped bidding, "You are a cultivator from the Qingmu Sect with the surname Wang, right? Remember this, when I build my foundation in the future, I will definitely make things difficult for you."
Yan Ruhai looked a little unhappy, but when he saw that Wei Zhong no longer offered a price, he simply said:
"Seven hundred low-grade spirit stones once,
Seven hundred low-grade spirit stones twice
······three times.
Deal, this pill belongs to Fellow Daoist Wang."
In the attic, there was some joy in the eyes of Wang Linpeng and Sun Zhou.
He did not take Wei Zhong, who was standing aside, seriously at all. As a minor cultivator with a short life span, if it were not for this auction, there would be no possibility for him to interact with the two Qingmu Sect cultivators who were expected to achieve Dan Formation.
Wei Zhong sat on his seat, holding his forehead with his right hand, wondering what he was thinking about.
"The next lot is the 'Health-preserving Skill', the grade of which is unknown. It has the effect of enhancing energy, improving physical activity, and accelerating the healing of injuries. Even if you have no cultivation, you can practice it. It is an excellent method for you to cultivate your descendants. The only drawback is that it is difficult to practice, and it takes many years of practice to barely get started..."
'Um? '
Wei Zhong's eyes lit up.
