Chapter 5: The Health-preserving Skill is Acquired, and the Troubles of the Cultivation
"This technique is considered a body-refining method of unknown level. The starting price is 100 lower-grade spirit stones. Each bid increase must not be less than 5 lower-grade spirit stones."

"One hundred and five low-grade spirit stones..."

Although Yan Ruhai stated that this technique is difficult to practice, it is still sought after by many cultivators.

Not only can one practice it by oneself, but this technique also does not restrict the level of cultivation of immortals. It is also very good to buy it for ordinary members of one's own family.

In the blink of an eye, the price reached more than two hundred spirit stones.

"Three hundred low-grade spiritual stones."

Wei Zhong finally started to make an offer.

"Are there any other Taoist friends who want to raise the price? Three hundred spiritual stones once, three hundred spiritual stones twice, ... three times, deal."

Wei Zhong breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there was no fool trying to snatch the technique from him. He managed to get the technique in his hands. With three hundred spirit stones, he hoped that he could get a little surprise for himself.

The next items to be auctioned were various rare and precious items, including many spiritual materials that Wei Zhong was not familiar with.

Wei Zhong had no intention of taking action.

"Finally, here are the final spiritual objects of this auction. Three first-grade life-extending pills can extend the lifespan of a Qi-refining cultivator by five years and a foundation-building cultivator by three years. They are ineffective against a Jindan cultivator. The starting price for the first pill is three hundred lower-grade spiritual stones, and each bid must not be less than ten lower-grade spiritual stones."

As the hammer in Yan Ruhai's hand fell, the auction officially began.

Wei Zhong also witnessed the most lively auction feast.

"Three hundred and fifty spirit stones..."

"Four hundred spirit stones..."

······
Both independent cultivators and family cultivators went crazy over this life-extending pill.

In a blink of an eye, the price was raised to eight hundred spirit stones and was taken by the Li family of the Sky Attic.

The next two were priced at nine hundred and one thousand one hundred spirit stones respectively, and were taken by the Chen family and the foundation-building cultivator named Wang.

"It seems that this kind of life-extending elixir is much more precious than I thought. Although I have the ability to get one, I still have the means to downgrade and extend my life, so it is better not to show off this."

"This auction is now over. Welcome everyone. Those who have won items can come to me to claim them. The rest of you can leave in an orderly manner."

When Yan Ruhai saw that the last life-extending pill was sold, he announced that the auction was successfully concluded.

Wei Zhong went to get the "Health Preserving Skills" and left the auction venue. He did not fly towards his own spiritual field, but went to Yanjia Market.

This market is the place where the spiritual farmers and disciples of the Yan family trade. It is located in the inner area of ​​the Yan family, not on the edge like the spiritual fields and temporary markets.

The Yan family's law enforcement team patrols the area and fighting is strictly prohibited.

After you have won an item, you should also go here to avoid any trouble. Even if you are not robbed by robbers, it is good to avoid getting blood splattered on yourself.

Wei Zhong brought all his belongings with him this time. It didn't matter if the spiritual field was destroyed. He could just plant it again. Wei Zhong had been planting fields for decades and was very experienced.

I also need to look up the method of taming animals...it turns out that I forgot about the Nine Colors.

Forget it. I don’t think many people would be interested in a mixed-blood spirit beast. I’ll just have to wish you the best.

If you survive afterwards, you will be rewarded with a few more grains of magical rice.

······
As Wei Zhong expected, after the auction ended, many cultivators were robbed by the mysterious cultivator.

They come in groups of three or two, and most of them are led by high-level Qi-refining monks. Ordinary casual cultivators are no match for them.

"This is the Yan family's territory. Do you dare to take action here?"

The monk with the wolf-face mask looked at the surrounding wheat fields, then focused his gaze on the robe of the cultivator in front of him.

"Haha, I certainly can't afford to offend the Yan family, but with your strength, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold out until the Yan family's law enforcement team arrives."

The casual cultivator's expression changed:
"Wait a minute, I'll give you my storage bag, can you spare my life?"

"It's too late." The wolf-faced monk waved his right hand, and the other robbery cultivators behind him immediately activated the magic weapons in their hands and attacked the wandering cultivator.

"Ah! I'll fight you."

Such scenes continued to occur in various places outside the Yan family.

At this moment, the Yan family law enforcement team, which is responsible for the security of the Yan family, is hiding in the internal area of ​​the Yan family, turning a blind eye to the turmoil in the outside world.

This is the tradition of the Yan family. Every Yan family auction attracts so many independent cultivators. How can a small Yan family compete with so many robbery cultivators?

Since you have the ability to take a picture of the spiritual object, you naturally must also have the ability to keep it.

At this moment, after purchasing the method of taming beasts, Wei Zhong went to the most famous Chunfeng Tower of the Yan family.

Chunfeng Tower is the most popular business of the Yan family. It provides both vegetarian and meat services, and guests can listen to music or receive foot washing and massage.

"Hey, be gentle, be gentle, are you going to break my old bones..."

Nothing happened that night. At dawn the next day, Wei Zhong left Chunfeng Tower. The turmoil at the auction was probably over, so to be on the safe side, he went to find Yan Wenbo to get some information.

"Oh, Brother Wei is here."

"Brother Yan, this is the Huang Lingya I just bought..."

"Hey, Brother Wei, you're here now, why are you bringing any gifts?"

Wei Zhong put down the tea in his hand with a smile on his face. Yan Wenbo took over, and the two of them sat around the tea table and started drinking tea.

"I also need to ask Brother Yan about the tragic incident last night."

Upon hearing this, Yan Wenbo put down the teacup in his hand and sighed slightly.

"Did something bad happen?"

Wei Zhong asked.

Yan Wenbo nodded:
"Just as Brother Wei said. The robbery of cultivators happens every time, but this time it is a little different."

"Oh?"

Wei Zhong looked surprised, but fortunately he was calm and hid in Yan's house.

Yan Wenbo poured himself another cup of tea and continued:
"After the auction, many cultivators were attacked. Various groups of cultivators surrounded the Yan family, and the scale was much larger than before. Not only were there many small groups led by high-level Qi Refining cultivators, but there were also Foundation Establishment cultivators who showed up."

"Bah!"

Wei Zhong took a breath of cold air.

"As luck would have it, the foundation-building cultivator this time came for the deacon surnamed Wang from the Qingmu Sect. His evil method was so profound that he defeated and seriously injured him without waiting for the support of our Yan family. Deacon surnamed Wang fled and his whereabouts are unknown, and his disciples were turned into blood and bones on the spot by the evil cultivator."

At this point, Yan Wenbo looked at Wei Zhong strangely. The dispute over the second-level Peiyuan Dan in the market town was no secret.

Wei Zhong coughed twice and asked:
"Will this matter affect the Yan family?"

"I don't know. The attitude of the sect leader is not something that a small Qi-refining cultivator like me can figure out. But even if they hold us accountable, our Yan family did rescue us after all. It's just that the evil cultivator was too powerful and couldn't rescue us in time. No matter what, they won't hold our Yan family accountable too much."

"Brother Wei, don't worry. It won't affect you."

Hearing this, Wei Zhong felt relieved.

"Thank you, Brother Yan. I will take my leave now."

"Brother Wei, can you stay a little longer?"

"No, I miss the spiritual fields at home, and I have to go back to check on the situation."

Wei Zhong bowed and left.
