Chapter 136 The Auction Begins
As soon as they entered the Treasure Pavilion, a maid came forward with a smile and led Concubine Yu to the private room on the second floor.
Just as the maid poured her a cup of spiritual tea, a beautiful woman walked in with a smile.
"Sister Fei'er, you haven't come to see me for a long time."
Yu Fei stood up and took her arm, pulling her to sit with him. "I have been delayed by some things recently, I hope you won't blame me, sister."
"What are you talking about? It's normal for my sister to be busy as a formation master." The woman leaned close to Yu Fei and smiled charmingly.
"Okay, I know you don't like nagging. Here, I have already prepared the skills you want. With my status as a cabinet member, I can get you the best discount."
Yu Fei's eyes flashed with surprise, and she quickly raised her hand and put it on her forehead. The entire "Mind Concentration on the Perineum" entered her sea of consciousness, and the formula here was much more complete than that in Jiuyou City.
The spiritual arts and spells contained in it are also included. But this technique is just as Yu Fei expected, the foundation-building stage is its end. If you want to go further, you need to switch to other techniques.
Seeing that Yu Fei was looking at her seriously, the beautiful woman couldn't help but secretly touch her with her hands around Yu Fei's waist.
"Yeah~"
As she felt something strange on her body, Concubine Yu couldn't help but let out a soft cry and quickly broke away from the jade slip.
The charming woman looked at Concubine Yu's angry eyes, and couldn't help but smile, and awkwardly pulled her hands out of Concubine Yu's clothes. "Sister, I just saw that my sister's skin was delicate, and I couldn't help it for a moment."
After saying that, he quickly changed the subject.
"Sister, why do you need to practice this furnace and cauldron technique? The techniques are all used to nourish yin and strengthen yang. It would be better for you to switch to this technique as soon as possible."
Yu Fei raised her hand to straighten the wrinkles of her clothes without answering, then placed the five medium-grade spirit stones needed for the practice on the table.
Seeing this, the woman raised her hand, grabbed it and stuffed it into Yu Fei's arms.
"My dear sister, I know you are thinking about the treasures in the auction house. You have been working day and night to earn spirit stones for a few days. I am not in a hurry, you can return it later."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Yu looked up at the sincere woman in front of her, lowered her eyes and nodded.
"Thank you, Sister Qingya."
A few days passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, most of the items in the storage bag had been sold. In the meantime, he also set up formations for a few people and earned some spiritual resources.
With the storage bag in hand, he felt that with his financial resources, it should be a sure thing for him to buy a Foundation Establishment Pill in Lingquan Market.
When I walked out of the room, the sky had cleared up. The snow piled up on the branches in the yard, covering the yard with a layer of white, making it look a little cold.
A carriage had already been waiting in front of the door. The monk of the Zhang family in front of the stable saw Concubine Yu walk out of the courtyard and hurriedly lifted the curtain for her.
"Master Yu Zhen, the Third Elder is already waiting for you in front of the auction house."
"Then let's go."
The man shook the reins upon hearing this, and the carriage slowly drove towards the main street.
As the wheels turned, more and more monks appeared on both sides of the road. Each of them had strong cultivation bases, and they couldn't help but look forward to the auction.
When they reached the corner of the street, there were still two hundred meters away from the venue and the carriage could no longer enter. Seeing this, Yu Fei took the initiative to get out of the carriage and walked towards the platform.
Although the auction house was not crowded, there were still shadows of people. Yu Fei had only seen this kind of scene in Jiuyou City in all these years, and that was during the Demon Ceremony.
"Fairy Yu!"
The third elder was stroking his beard and looking around at the monks around him. As the woman approached, he spotted her exceptionally tall figure. He walked towards her quickly, his mustache sticking up along with his lips.
"Fairy Yu, you've arrived at the right time," he said, patting the girl beside him.
The dark-faced girl raised her cheek and bowed softly.
"Master Yu."
He raised his hand and touched the girl's hair, then whispered to the middle-aged man in front of him, "Thank you for troubling me this time, Third Elder."
"Haha, Fairy Yu is really embarrassing me."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and beckoned. It looked like he was letting Yu Fei go. Her heart was as clear as a mirror, knowing that the Zhang family was doing it for the sake of Qingxu Sword Pavilion, but now that she had severed her marriage with Ming An, how could she dare to be arrogant?
After some polite exchanges, they walked side by side into the auction house.
As soon as they entered the hall, the three were led by the maid to a private room on the second floor. Looking down, they saw a sea of heads. There were probably hundreds of Qi Refining cultivators gathered here, and some of them were young and came here to broaden their horizons.
Yu Fei turned her head and looked at the other private rooms. There were people sitting in them. Yu Fei was a little puzzled. Why didn't the Zhang family send a foundation-building cultivator here this time? If they bought something, wouldn't they be afraid that it would be snatched away by robbers?
Although she was curious in her heart, Yu Fei did not ask any questions. She just stared at the empty auction table below and waited.
"Ding-ding-"
Following two crisp sounds, the monks in the hall felt their minds become clear and the noisy sounds subsided.
Following the crisp sound of tapping, a dignified female cultivator slowly stood on the auction platform.
"Welcome all the seniors and fellow Taoists who have come from afar to Lingquan Market. There are a total of 88 items for this auction. I hope you will return with satisfaction."
After saying this, he raised his hand and a maid behind the stage slowly walked to the front of the stage holding a spiritual object.
Facing hundreds of gazes, including the faint pressure from a Foundation Establishment cultivator, she pulled the red silk with a sweet smile, revealing the heavy items on the tray.
"The first item is the unique specialty of Lingquan Market, Qingquan Spiritual Liquid."
I saw the jade gourd lying quietly on the tray, with thick spiritual energy emanating from the mouth of the gourd, which condensed into spiritual mist visible to the naked eye.
"The Qingquan Spiritual Liquid has benefits for all stages of the Qi Refining Period, and it is more effective than Qi Condensing Pills, Qi Invigorating Pills and other cultivation elixirs. It does not cause the problem of elixir poisoning, and long-term consumption can also help refine spiritual energy."
"This gourd is enough for a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining to practice for three months. Starting price: fifty low-grade spirit stones."
The monks in the hall on the first floor immediately showed an interested expression upon hearing this.
This gourd of spiritual liquid is much more useful than elixirs, and more affordable, so people couldn't help but bid for it.
"Fifty-three."
"Fifty-five."
"sixty!"
Yu Fei looked at the monks below who were bidding one after another, and there was a hint of hesitation in her eyes. Although her Xuanyin body was awakened and could rival the monks with dual spiritual roots.
Yu Fei still felt that the speed of cultivation was too slow, so she used pills to help. This is how she was able to break through from the sixth level of Qi training to the middle stage of the eighth level of Qi training in just one year.
But with the accumulation of elixir poison in his body, it was impossible to maintain such a fast cultivation. If he did not swallow the elixir, it would probably take another three years to reach the great perfection of the Qi Refining Stage.
Concubine Yu can't wait that long.
After thinking about it, Xiu opened her mouth slightly. "Seventy."
As soon as the price was announced, the monks below paused slightly, thinking that the price was close to the market price, and then they fell silent.
Only one monk frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Seventy-two spirit stones."
"seventy-five."
Seeing that the woman made a straightforward bid, he hesitated for a moment and gave up the idea of bidding.
"Seventy-five times."
"Seventy-five twice."
...
One of the private rooms on the second floor of the auction house was where the monks of the Wang family stayed. When they heard that the bidding came from room number nine, they knew it was from the monks of the Zhang family, the mortal enemy of the Wang family.
Thinking that in order to stop the Zhang family from setting up a large formation, he ended up losing more than he gained, and lost two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, as well as the few top-grade magic weapons in the family.
You have to know that although the White Eyebrow Needle is a replica, it can also be ranked among the top-grade magic tools. It will kill ordinary cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining, and even if a cultivator of Foundation Establishment is hit, most of the spiritual power in his body will be restrained.
The more he thought about it, the uglier his expression became. He gritted his teeth and said, "Let them be proud for a while. When the auction is halfway through, we will intervene in whatever the Zhang family wants. We will not let them have it easy!"
