Cultivating Immortals in the Family: Rising from Beast Familiarity

Chapter 215 Drive away tigers and devour wolves, Lichen Dan 【Subscription】

The ice jade soul silkworm is a very strange insect.

This kind of strange insect was born in the frozen Jedi, and its lifespan is extremely long, only growing an inch every thousand years!
They don't eat grains or blood when they are born, they only parasitize in the bodies of those creatures that have passed out from freezing, and feed on the collapsed souls of the creatures after freezing to death.

That's why they have another frightening nickname - Soul Eater Ice Silkworm

However, it should be noted that the ice jade soul silkworms will not take the initiative to harm creatures that can still walk normally in extremely cold places. They will only appear next to dying creatures and devour their souls that collapsed after death.

Because of this, many immortals don't think it is evil.

And the ice jade soul silkworm is definitely a rare treasure for cultivators.

It feeds on the soul, and it can also be used to nourish the soul of the immortal cultivator. It is very effective in assisting in opening up the purple mansion.

Even some monks with damaged souls can refine it to repair the damage to their souls.

It is said that the ice jade soul silkworm that is more than three inches long can even recover the damage to the soul of a monk at the Jindan stage.

Of course, if it was really that level of ice jade soul silkworm, it would definitely not be auctioned in this auction.

"Thirty-three thousand spirit coins!"

"Thirty-five thousand spirit coins!"

"Forty thousand spirit coins!"

At this moment, the bidding price of the ice jade soul silkworm kept rising, and the cultivators of the Zifu Qi raised their bids one after another, wanting to win these rare treasures for the family.

But Zhou Mingde remained silent.

Not only did he not make a sound, but some people who also had the intention of winning this ice jade soul silkworm also remained silent.

In this way, when the price climbed to [-] spirit coins, most of the shouting noises stopped.

It's not that the ice jade soul silkworm is only worth this price.

In fact, things like ice jade soul silkworms have no fixed market price at all.

What it is worth depends entirely on how much the person who wants to buy it can afford.

The reason why the outcry has stopped now is because the vast majority of those in power of the cultivating clan can only come up with so much working capital.

There are not many immortal cultivators in Yasukuni who can take out [-] spiritual coins, and most of the immortal cultivators can hardly exceed [-] spiritual coins in their working capital.

After all, such a large family eats horse chews and spends a lot of money every year. If there is no windfall, it is difficult to increase the income dramatically.

Moreover, in order to give hope to the clansmen, a lot of money is spent every ten or eight years to buy spiritual objects such as foundation building pills to support a certain clansman to build a foundation, which makes it even more difficult to save a lot of money.

This time, if the Zhou family hadn't gotten a windfall from Qinglian Guan before, and got a lot of spiritual coins by selling some water rare treasures in Long Yuanze, they wouldn't be able to get so many spiritual coins.

But obviously not every family's grand elders, patriarchs, etc. are willing to pay out of their own pockets to buy someone in the family to assist in the development of the purple mansion.

So at this time, there are fewer price calls, which is really normal.

"Seventy thousand spirit coins!"

At this moment, Zhou Mingde suddenly spoke up, and immediately raised the price by thousands of spirit coins.

At this moment, all the eyes of the audience turned towards Zhou's table, and Su Yunniang on the high platform also turned her beautiful eyes to look at Zhou Mingde who spoke.

"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Zhou of the Zhou family in Lanzhou, no wonder he is so rich and powerful!"

A deep old voice sounded slowly, and then continued: "But our Lin family also likes this ice jade soul silkworm, everyone can only bid according to their capital, Lin will offer [-] spirit coins!"

Is it the Lin family in Yanzhou?
Zhou Chun looked at the old man who spoke, and immediately recognized that the family he belonged to was also the family that entered the top [-] this time.

Obviously, after learning about the upcoming Southern Expedition of the Hualong Sect, he also wanted to win the Bingyu Soul Silkworm so that he could add another Zifu period monk to the family.

Encountered an opponent!
The three members of the Zhou family looked at each other with solemn expressions in their eyes.

Then Zhou Mingde nodded lightly and replied: "Your Daoist Lin is right, everyone bids according to their capital."

After finishing speaking, there was no further price increase.

Seeing this scene, instead of showing joy, the old man of the Lin family looked very solemn.

Sure enough, seeing that Zhou Mingde didn't raise the price, another voice suddenly said, "[-] spirit coins!"

For a moment, all the eyes on the field looked at the monk who made the noise, wanting to see who was so rich.

But when they saw the person who made the sound, everyone's pupils shrank.

Because the person who bid was a Golden Core stage monk from a Golden Core family!
Bidding with Jindan stage monks requires not only financial resources, but also courage!
After all, it is not a familiar person, and no one knows how powerful the other party is.

If you meet a narrow-minded person and hold grudges because of this matter, it will really be a disaster for no reason!

So the old man of the Lin family who was talking about bidding based on capital just now fell silent.

Even Su Yunniang on the stage glanced at Bi Qiuyue, Zhen Bingyang, and Shan Yangzi, and quickly said in a soft voice: "Eighty thousand spirit coins, is there any fellow daoist who will continue to bid?"

This was not the case before.

Before, she would have to wait at least a few hundred breaths before asking this question!
And after she spoke, the old man of the Lin family and several monks who were also interested had their throats throbbing. They wanted to say something, but they never dared to say it.

But Zhou Mingde said in a deep voice at this time: "Eighty-one thousand spirit coins!"

Ok?
In an instant, the much-anticipated situation reappeared to everyone in the Zhou family.

At this moment, many people admired the courage of the Zhou family.

Don't talk about money or not, just this courage, you have to obey!
But the Golden Core Stage cultivator just glanced at Zhou Mingde lightly, and said again: "Eighty-five thousand spiritual coins!"

"Eighty-six thousand spirit coins!"

Zhou Mingde raised the price again without hesitation.

At this moment, his face was very calm and calm, as if he couldn't feel the various gazes from all directions.

This made the golden core stage monk's eyes change slightly, and then he said in a deep voice, "[-] spirit coins!"

"Ninety-one thousand spirit coins!"

Zhou Mingde's expression remained the same, his tone was extremely calm, and it was still a price increase of one thousand spirit coins.

This is his third price increase, in fact, his last price increase.

Because no matter how high the price is, he will have no money.

But there is a saying that is good, there are only three things.

Zhou Mingde dared to increase the price three times in the face of the bidding of the Jindan stage monks.

Not to mention how courageous he is, but this determination that is inevitable must make people look sideways.

Even the cultivator at the Golden Core stage fell silent at this moment, speechless for a long time.

After hundreds of breaths of time passed without anyone making a sound, Su Yunniang on the stage also seemed to understand that the Jindan stage monk had given up, and even said softly: "Ninety-one thousand spirit coins are the first time. Is there any fellow Daoist willing to increase the price?"

The words fell, but still no one spoke.

So after waiting for more than ten breaths, she repeated it again.

"[-] spirit coins for the third time, good, congratulations to Zhou Daoyou for winning this ice jade soul silkworm!"

Following Su Yunniang's final third words, everyone in the Zhou family breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter what, they still took the ice jade soul silkworm.

Although it was very difficult to win and the price paid was huge, but now is the time to be happy and celebrate, not the time to think about those bad things.

Zhou Mingde let out a sigh of relief, and immediately bowed his hands to the Golden Core stage monk and said, "Thank you, Senior Ye, for your kindness."

Immediately, he clasped his fists and saluted in all directions: "Thank you fellow Taoists for letting go!"

In response to his actions, the Jindanqi monk surnamed Ye just gave him a deep look and didn't respond.

And the other monks knew that he was just being polite and didn't need to respond.

So under all kinds of complicated eyes, Zhou Mingde went forward with a large number of spirit coins to complete the delivery, and took the jade box containing the ice jade soul silkworm in his hand.

After buying this item, the Zhou family can only be regarded as spectators at this auction.

Next, the auction conference was still in full swing. Treasures that were rarely seen in ordinary times were put up for auction, and the prices were often surprisingly high.

The further you go to the back, the more precious treasures appear.

During the period, there were even talismans that were put up for auction!
This was also Zhou Chun's first time seeing a treasure talisman being auctioned in public, and the price was not as expensive as he thought.

The starting price for a complete unused talisman was [-] spirit coins, but the final transaction price was only [-] spirit coins, not as good as the ice jade soul silkworm bought by the Zhou family!

Zhou Chun was a little puzzled at first, but after Zhou Mingde's explanation, he was relieved again.

Although the talisman is extremely powerful, unless it is a talisman with some special supernatural powers, it will be very difficult to kill another person in a single fight if the cultivation level has reached the stage of the Purple Mansion Stage.

A cultivator at the beginning of the Purple Mansion has a talisman in his hand, and may be able to step up and fight a monk at the middle of the Zifu, but it is difficult for him to easily kill another early cultivator of the Purple Mansion with this talisman.

Generally, cultivators in the Purple Mansion Stage will practice escaping magical powers that are useful for escaping at critical moments. Once they are used, even if the opponent has similar magical powers, they may not be able to catch up immediately.

Because when this kind of evasion magic power is activated, most of them are too fast, and the immortal cultivator himself cannot accurately control the destination of the flight, and can only lock a general direction of the flight.

Under such circumstances, unless one's own cultivation base is much higher than that of the opponent, or one has cultivated the supernatural powers of escapism to a very deep level, and can freely control the speed and direction.

Otherwise, it would be very difficult for a cultivator of the Zifu period to kill another cultivator of the Zifu period.

Therefore, it is normal that a talisman cannot be sold for more than the price of the ice jade soul silkworm.

After selling an unknown number of treasures in this way, Su Yunniang on the stage reached out and wiped the storage bag as usual, took out a fiery red pill bottle, and introduced: "The next treasure is a kind of panacea. It's called the Chiming Liuzhu Pill, and it can assist the cultivators of the Zifu stage who practice the Fire Xing Kungfu to break through the bottleneck, and the effect is very good."

After speaking, he held up the pill bottle in his hand and said: "One Chiming Liuzhu pill, the starting price is [-] spirit coins, and the price increase should not be less than [-] spirit coins!"

"There really is such a thing!"

On the table of the Zhou family, the three members of the Zhou family looked at the Chiming Liuzhu Pill that Su Yuniang held in her hand, and they all looked at each other in blank dismay, speechless.

"Anyway, the money is all spent, so let's follow the plan!"

Zhou Chun muttered to himself, which was his answer.

So the three of them could only watch helplessly as the price of this item went up all the way, and was finally bought with [-] spirit coins.

But what the three of them didn't expect was that the person who bought the Chiming Liuzhu Pill turned out to be the mid-stage cultivator of the Jiang family's Zifu.

"What does the Jiang family want to do? Could it be that he wants to use this Chiming Liuzhu pill to break through to the late stage of Zifu?"

Zhou Mingde's complexion changed slightly, and he looked at the Jiang family Zifu monk with a suspicious expression.

"That old guy is indeed practicing the fire movement method, maybe he really thinks so!"

Zhou Daoyi said with a solemn face, his tone suddenly became serious.

If the Jiang family had only one middle-stage cultivator and one early-stage cultivator of the Purple Mansion, the Zhou family would not be afraid of them.

But if the Jiang family had a late-stage cultivator in the Zifu, the Zhou family would really have no advantage in terms of strength.

"Why don't we just inform Lin Hongyu and ask her to snatch the Chiyang Liuzhu Pill! No matter how bad it is, it will ruin the good thing that old thing breaks through the late stage of the Purple Mansion!"

At this time, Zhou Chun also secretly transmitted his voice to the two of them, ruthlessly expressing his thoughts.

It has to be said that his bottom line is very flexible.

Previously, he had persuaded the patriarch Zhou Daoyi to accept raising money to buy the spiritual objects of the Purple Mansion on the grounds that he did not want to be an enemy. Now that the Jiang family had purchased Chiyang Liuzhu Pill, which might pose a great threat to the Zhou family, he immediately wanted to buy it. Drive away the tiger and the wolf!

Of course, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi knew that all of this was for the sake of the family, so naturally they wouldn't make fun of him at this time.

What's more, Zhou Chun's strategy to drive away tigers and wolves is indeed simple and easy to use.

But after Zhou Daoyi thought about it for a while, he frowned and said, "But I'm afraid it's too late. If Lin Hongyu wants to hear from us, it will take a month at the earliest. With that time, the old Jiang family may be too late." I already went home and took the panacea, could Lin Hongyu be so stupid?"

"Then find a way to delay the time of that old man of the Jiang family, so that he can't take the elixir so quickly to retreat and break through!"

Zhou Mingde stated his plan in a deep voice, but he already agreed with Zhou Chun's strategy of driving tigers and wolfs away.

So the three of them had various discussions around delaying the breakthrough time of Jiang Jiazi Mansion's mid-term monks' retreat, and they had no interest in the upcoming auction.

And amidst the intense discussions among the three, the auction gradually came to an end.

"The following is the last treasure on this auction, and it is also a treasure specially prepared by the three sects for this auction!"

On the high platform, Su Yunniang reached out to touch the storage bag while talking, and took out a jade box.

At the same time, the three Jindan stage monks sitting cross-legged on three sides all got up and walked closer to protect her.

Immediately, she said in a tone full of temptation: "It is a pill contained in this jade bottle in my hand, the famous Lichen Pill, which can help people condense golden pills!"
