Yunmeng Peak

Chapter 182 Returning to the Huaishui Auction

Because of his vigilance, it took Cheng Qifeng an hour to complete the refining of the second-order top-grade Qingling pill that could be refined in the past half an hour.

Taking out the eight pills from the pill furnace, Cheng Qifeng glanced at the Yin Corpse beside him, but saw that it still didn't make any movement, so he let go of his hanging heart, but he didn't let go of his vigilance against it. It's just that the vigilance has weakened a lot.

Half a month later, Cheng Qifeng, who was walking on the Huaishui Avenue, looked at the monks who were coming and going, a look of joy flashed in his eyes, and he thought to himself: "I don't know what happened to the family's shop, I have to go after this auction. Ask, or I'll be too incompetent!"

He is the only foundation-building monk sent by the family to Huaishuifang City. Although he doesn't need to take care of these shops on weekdays, if he never goes to check the shops, it would be bad for the bad-hearted clansmen to take this opportunity to steal and play tricks.

After half a cup of tea, Cheng Qifeng came to the Yunqi Hall and brought Cheng Qihui to the Huaishui Auction. Looking at the maid in silk tulle, Cheng Qihui's eyes were full of fire.

Cheng Qifeng on the side patted Cheng Qihui, which woke him up. The two looked at each other, and Cheng Qihui's face flushed instantly. "Eighteen Brother told you to watch a joke!"

Cheng Qifeng replied with a smile: "The first time I saw this scene back then was not much better than you. Brother Thirteen, if you are really unbearable, you can go to Jiyun Tower!"

Hearing this, Cheng Qihui scolded with a smile: "Well, you eighteenth brother, you actually laughed at me..."

After dozens of breaths, the two, led by the plump maid, came to the private room on the third floor of the Huaishui Auction.

In the private room, Cheng Qifeng detected ten auras that were not weaker than his own in this auction, and they were obviously all foundation-building monks, and he secretly said in his heart: "I didn't expect so many foundation-building monks to come here this time." place."

After half a cup of tea, the monks who participated in the auction finally arrived, and the auction officially started.

The host of this auction is a nine-level qi training female cultivator from the Li family. She has a very good figure, but she is different from those maids with low cultivation. A flash of love flashed in the eyes of many monks, such a woman is the partner that a normal divorce letter wants.

"This thing is the top-rank Shuiyun Sword of the second rank..."

"..."

Cheng Qifeng looked at the audience, one after another, the second-order spiritual objects were being photographed one after another, but he couldn't arouse any interest. Looking back on the scene of his first auction more than ten years ago, he felt a little emotional.

Two hours later, the auction also reached a hot stage. With dozens of other auctions, the quality of the spiritual objects in the future has also improved a lot.

"Dear friends, please take a look, this is the second-tier top-grade Jinyun Sword, which has three handles in total. It is a complete set of magic tools. Once refined, it can increase the strength of monks in the late stage of Qi training by more than [-]%. Such a magic weapon is rare. The reserve price is three hundred spirit stones! Each auction must not be less than five spirit stones!"

As soon as the words fell, many monks in the late stage of Qi training began to bid for prices in the lobby on the first floor.

"350 spirit stones!"

"350 five spirit stones!"

"..."

Seeing this scene, Cheng Qihui was also extremely moved, and shouted a high price of six hundred spirit stones.

As soon as the words fell, everyone realized that it was the asking price from the private room on the third floor, and their hearts sank. After all, they are all big shots in Huaishui County who can be in the private room on the third floor. Okay, the private room on the third floor is a status symbol.

After half a breath, a deep voice came from the private room on the second floor: "I will give you 650 spirit stones!"

When the monks in the hall saw this, their hearts were moved immediately, and they didn't have too many scruples.

It was quickly promoted by other monks, and Cheng Qihui gave up buying it when he saw this.

"Why don't you continue bidding?" Cheng Qifeng said.

"It's just a second-level high-grade magic weapon. In a few years, I will be preparing to build a foundation. No matter what the result is, I'm afraid I won't be able to use it!" Cheng Qihui replied with a smile.

Hearing this, Cheng Qifeng didn't say anything, he didn't know that more than [-]% of those who failed in foundation establishment would explode and die.

In the end, the price of the Golden Cloud Sword reached 950 Lingshi, and it was purchased by a monk from the first family on the second floor.

Afterwards, more than a dozen spiritual objects were auctioned, many of which were rare. Even Cheng Qifeng was a little moved. He bid once and took three red beetle eggs, which cost a full 600 yuan of spiritual stones. , It really made his heart ache, this is a spirit stone that needs to be enshrined by his family for two years.

Cheng Qifeng has not become the elder of the family, so he only takes the offerings of the early stage of foundation establishment.

The red beetle ranks very high in the ranking of the world's zerg, No. 30. It can spit out poisonous flames, and its whole body is extremely hard, which is comparable to the strength of magic weapons of the same level.

If this worm is hatched and cultivated more, it may be of great help to Cheng Qifeng in the future.

In less than half a cup of tea, a maid brought the three eggs over.

Cheng Qifeng's spiritual sense slowly penetrated into the three eggs in his hand, only then did he vaguely notice that the vitality in the eggs was extremely declining, a flash of anger flashed in his eyes, and he softly shouted: "Damn it!"

Seeing this, Cheng Qihui on the side quickly asked, "Eighteen Brother, what are you doing?"

"This insect egg is probably difficult to hatch, so you shouldn't be so careless this time. If such a spiritual thing is intact, how can it be photographed at such a price? Many people may know the news that this insect egg is extremely weak. That's why no one rushed to shoot with me, if I could use the divine sense detection earlier, I wouldn't have wasted money!" Cheng Qifeng looked remorseful.

Hearing this, Cheng Qihui comforted: "If you soak it in spiritual liquid every day, maybe you can hatch it!"

If these three eggs are normal, it's okay, as long as they are placed in a place with rich spiritual energy, or placed in a pile of spiritual stones, they can hatch by themselves.

But now that the life force is weak, this method is obviously not advisable. It needs to be soaked in spiritual liquid every day to have a very small chance of hatching. This small chance basically determines that the eggs cannot hatch.

"That's all it takes!"

Seeing the three eggs, Cheng Qifeng was upset, so he waved his hands and packed the three eggs in a jade box, sealed them with a seal, and then put them in the storage bag.

Half an hour later, the woman from the Li family who was auctioning bowed her hands to everyone present, and said with a smile: "This is the end of the general auction of spiritual objects, and then I, Li Shiming, a monk from the Li family Bid for ten finale spirit objects."

Cheng Qifeng narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this, but he also understood the reason why the Foundation Establishment monk auction was dispatched.

Because of the beast tide, many foundation-building families in Huaishui County have obtained third-level monster materials, and after being refined by their own artisans, they have become valuable pills or magic weapons. .

Therefore, the auction was held in a very grand manner. Cheng Qifeng knew that the ten final spiritual objects that the nun from the Li family had recited just now were third-order spiritual objects.

Now there are quite a few foundation-building monks in this auction house. Once a foundation-building monk is swayed by interests and snatched during the auction, it is difficult for the Li family girl to be able to resist with her cultivation of qi.

Soon, Li Shiming, an acquaintance of Cheng Qifeng, walked onto the auction stage, and said with a smile: "Everyone is a regular visitor, I don't have much to say, and now I will start bidding for the first spiritual object!"

"This item is a low-grade gold jade bracelet of the third rank. It is a magic weapon that integrates offense and defense. The quality is extremely good. The low price is 1000 taels of Lingshi!"

Hearing these words, Cheng Qifeng raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "This magic weapon is very good, even I am very moved!"

Cheng Qihui on the side asked: "Brother Eighteen, do you want to bid?"

Cheng Qifeng shook his head, but didn't say much.

Seeing this, Cheng Qihui was a little puzzled, and said to himself: "Could it be because there are not enough spirit stones? With the net worth of the third-rank low-rank alchemist of the eighteenth brother, there is no way that he will not be short of more than a thousand spirit stones!"

However, this is also the reason why he didn't know that Cheng Qifeng had inherited half of Cheng Yuandu's magic weapons.

As soon as Li Shiming finished speaking, several Foundation Establishment cultivators on the second floor began to bid for the auction.

Soon, this third-tier low-grade magic weapon was bought by a family foundation cultivator in the private room on the second floor for 850 spirit stones.

As one finale spiritual object was auctioned out, soon there were only five finale spiritual objects left.

Among the three third-level spiritual objects sent by the Cheng family, except for the low-level third-level flying sword that appeared in the auction, the other two spiritual objects were among the last five finale spiritual objects.

Seeing this situation, Cheng Qifeng naturally knew in his heart that the talismans, magic weapons, etc. above the third-tier middle grade were all priceless, and it was normal for them to be the last five lots.

Once magic tools, talismans, etc. need to be refined by a hundred artists, the difficulty of refining beyond the third level is extremely high.

If it is just a low-grade magic weapon, magic talisman, etc. of the third rank, as long as a talented artisan breaks through to the foundation building level, as long as he pays some price, he can barely refine it regardless of the cost.

However, once the magic weapon, talisman, etc., it is difficult to reach the middle level of the third level, and you need to reach the middle stage of foundation establishment if you want to refine the cultivation base. The talent in the foundation-building realm has already been exhausted, and it is difficult to make progress in cultivation. It often takes decades to break through a small level of realm, especially the bottleneck in the early to middle foundation-building stage. There are quite a few foundation-building monks who have been in this bottleneck for a hundred years.

Under such circumstances, it is extremely difficult to keep up with the cultivation level of Baiyi in the case of a breakthrough in cultivation base. Under such circumstances, it usually only appears in big families or big sects.

Because these monks who master all kinds of arts will get the support of their families and sects, they can take pills in their daily practice, and when they encounter bottlenecks, they can take a broken spirit pill and other panacea that can help break through. A monk's combat power is extremely weak, and his foundation is also extremely vain, but once the level of Baiyi rises, it will be a cash cow.

In the entire Huaishui County, there are only two third-tier mid-level Hundred Artists. Of course, this is not a special case in Huaishui County, as it is the case in many counties in Luoyang Country.

After a while, Li Shiming said with a smile: "Everyone, please look at this magic talisman in my hand. Zhang Lingfu can escape within 50 meters of the ground, which is far from being comparable to the second-order earth escape talisman, and its speed is several times faster. It is a weapon for escape. Refined by a master, the quality is guaranteed, the base price is [-] spirit stones, the highest price gets it, and each offer should not be less than [-] yuan spirit stones!"

As soon as the words came out, the eyes of hundreds of monks sitting in the hall were full of enthusiasm, but due to the price, it was like a sky-high price for them Qi training monks, so no one asked for a price.

Instead, a private room on the third floor raised the price: "Two thousand and one hundred yuan for spirit stones!"

Cheng Qifeng heard the voice coming from the third floor, and said in a low voice, "Interesting!"

At this time, another call sounded: "Two thousand and 150 spirit stones!"

"2000 two hundred spirit stones!"

……

Following the quotations, the price of this talisman also reached a high price of [-] spirit stones, and it was successfully bid by the monk on the third floor who had made an offer before.

Cheng Qifeng and Cheng Qihui were filled with joy when they heard the high price.

"I didn't expect Uncle 23's talisman to be sold at such a high price. If I refine a few more, I can buy a Foundation Establishment Pill!" Cheng Qihui said with a smile.

Cheng Qifeng smiled when he heard the words, but he didn't agree with it. He knew that Cheng Xiangfu's success rate in refining a third-tier middle-grade talisman was only [-]%. Successfully refining a third-tier middle-grade talisman not only did not earn many spirit stones, but He also lost hundreds of spirit stones.

There is no way, the price of materials for refining the third-tier middle-grade spirit talisman is too high. Most monks in the Nanling Immortal Cultivation World use the fur of monsters to refine the spirit talisman. To refine the talisman paper of the third-tier middle-grade spirit talisman, a third-tier middle-grade monster is needed The fur, while the cinnabar is refined from the blood of a third-order monster.

If it hadn't been for the Cheng family killing dozens of foundation-building monsters during this beast swarm, and obtaining a lot of materials for third-level monsters, otherwise, the Cheng family would not have dared to let Cheng Xiangfu refine a third-level middle-grade spirit talisman. The loss of materials from the auctioned earth escape talisman can pay a foundation-building cultivator's salary for one year.

"Dear friends, please take a look. This third-rank middle-grade artifact was forged by Li Lingshi, a third-rank middle-grade craftsman from the Li family in Huaiyang. It is of excellent quality. Weapon, strength can be increased by at least [-]%." Li Shiming said loudly with a smile.

"The low price is 2000 yuan for spirit stones, and the price can't be lower than 50 yuan for spirit stones each time. The one with the highest price wins. If there are fellow daoists who make trouble, they will be against my Huaishui three masters! The auction begins"

Above the private room, Cheng Qihui looked at the small golden sword in Cheng Shiming's hand on the round platform and smiled.

"This magic weapon is only of average quality. I'm afraid the Li family will not like it, so it will be put up for auction!"

Cheng Qifeng was quite aware of this. He wanted to buy a second-tier mid-grade alchemy stove, but he couldn't find it after searching in Huaishuifang City. But is the second-tier mid-grade alchemy stove really rare?

Without exception, although the alchemy furnace is more difficult to refine, any family that owns the alchemy furnace will keep it in the family as a foundation.

Just like the Cheng family, no matter what the circumstances, they would definitely not easily sell the family's magical artifacts above the third rank, which is the foundation of the family's hundreds of years of accumulation.
