Xiuxian: The longer you live, the better your talent!

At the entrance of the Shanshou Gate, a special barrier building was simply constructed, and a small complex spiritual formation was also arranged to prevent outside cultivators from seeing the situation inside.

At this moment, inside the building, in an open courtyard, there were already many cultivators sitting there, most of them were at the foundation-building stage, and there was no Qi-training cultivator who was lower than the seventh level.

Obviously, there must be someone behind the scenes who was able to enter here.

"Thank you all for your support. This time, my Good Beast Sect was lucky enough to obtain the main ingredient of the Crystal Pill. However, our cultivation is shallow and we are not lucky enough to enjoy it, so we can only put it up for auction."

Yan Yu stood in front, and half a step in front of him was the guardian spirit formation that separated the Good Beast Sect from the outside world.

As the leader of the Good Beast Sect, he naturally would not easily leave the guardian spirit formation, otherwise if he were besieged by powerful enemies, the Good Beast Sect would be in danger.

The people participating in the auction at the front already knew this and didn't say much.

“This time, our Good Beast Sect has obtained three crystal pill ingredients, and we will sell them all. But before that, in case you fellow Taoists don’t believe me, I, Yan Yu, will swear an oath that if anyone conceals the crystal pill ingredients, I will be punished by heaven.”

Upon hearing this, many of the foundation-building cultivators below showed a hint of strangeness in their eyes.

It must be said that swearing an oath is also a way to escape.

However, there were also people whose expressions showed no change at all.

Things like Taoist oaths are actually very easy to circumvent. Take Yan Yu's words for example. If he really conceals it, he will be the only one who will be punished by heaven. As long as he is willing to pay some price, then the Good Beast Sect can safely obtain one or more main ingredients of the Crystal Pill.

Yan Yu had expected this, but he did not completely rely on Dao Shi.

"If there are Jindan cultivators in our sect, why can't we even keep a few crystal pill ingredients?"

Taking out a piece of material, Yan Yu felt heavy and regretful.

Three portions of the main ingredients of the Crystal Pill, that is, refining the Crystal Pill three times, may just be enough to refine one furnace of Crystal Pill.

But now, all these things have to be sold in exchange for an equal amount of resources.

Otherwise, the Good Beast Gatekeeper will never have peace.

"All of you Daoists are important figures in your respective domains, so I won't waste any more words. The auction is conducted with spirit stones, and discounts on items are acceptable. In addition, I mentioned a few things I need before, and if anyone is willing to trade them, I will favor him."

When the news was first released, Yan Yu gave several lists, on which he wrote down his expectations for the auction.

"Okay, the auction begins now. The reserve price is 10 high-quality spirit stones."

Among the group of foundation-building monks below, the expressions of a large majority of them had slight changes.

10 high-quality spirit stones were completely beyond their imagination.

One medium-grade spirit stone is equivalent to 1 low-grade spirit stones, and 1000 high-grade spirit stones mean one million low-grade spirit stones.

For some independent foundation-building cultivators, such a base price was beyond their bottom line.

However, they had already anticipated that compared to the immortal sects, the financial resources for independent cultivators to build their foundations were really difficult to compare.

Soon, the price was pushed up to 150 high-quality spirit stones.

And it continues.

Finally, someone couldn't sit still any longer and stopped raising the price with spirit stones. Instead, he said, "I heard that Fellow Daoist Yan Yu's Immortal Sect's chief alchemist has left due to deadline issues. Fortunately, I have an alchemist here who has excellent alchemy skills and has also mastered the foundation-building pill formula. If Fellow Daoist Yan Yu is willing, he will immediately become the chief alchemist of the Good Beast Sect and refine pills for the Good Beast Sect for fifty years."

Suddenly, many people looked at the person who spoke. The other person had an ordinary face, an alchemist's hat on his head, and looked a little bloated.

A person with sharp eyes could tell at a glance that the other party was in disguise. But those who came here to participate in the auction actually disguised themselves to some extent, so as not to be targeted because of the auction.

Even if the bidding is unsuccessful, the fact that one dares to make a bid proves that he has considerable savings. No one knows whether there may be some evil cultivators with bad intentions mixed in here.

"Fifty years of alchemy, plus 150 high-quality spirit stones." The man said, then sat down and looked at Yan Yu.

For Yan Yu, the temptation was very strong. Yan Yu was very concerned about the Good Beast Sect. In order to prevent the Good Beast Sect from falling into the predicament of having no Foundation Establishment Pills available, he had to spend an excessive amount of money to buy Foundation Establishment Pills from outside.

It will cost a lot more money every year.

And if he hired a second-grade alchemist to join the Good Beast Sect and help refine pills for fifty years, he could at least save the Good Beast Sect more than 500 to 600 high-grade spirit stones in additional expenses. If other indirect benefits were also taken into account, the value could reach 1000 high-grade spirit stones.

Even Yan Yu was distracted for a moment.

Although he knew that the way the alchemist the other party was talking about was quite different from his own alchemist, the benefits were indeed great.

If it weren't for Master Lu Dan, he would have absolutely no resistance to this kind of discount.

"I'm sorry, fellow Taoist, but the Shanshou Sect is not a big business, so we still want to train our own alchemist."

Yan Yu sighed and said.

Fortunately, Master Lu is here, otherwise it would be really difficult to choose.

With Lu Changsheng, the sect naturally had no rigid demand for an alchemist of unknown origin. Although he also wanted to have another second-grade alchemist who could refine foundation-building pills in the sect, sometimes it was not possible to get what you wanted.

The Good Beast Sect can recruit a talented alchemist with great potential, but it cannot recruit two alchemists of similar realms at the same time.

There are not many resources in the Shanshou Sect that can attract an alchemist of Lu Changsheng's level. Once a new alchemist comes in, a lot of resources will inevitably be taken away.

In this case, as the leader of the immortal sect, Yan Yu would have to consider whether Lu Changsheng would be dissatisfied.

This is the shortcoming of the lack of resources in small domains and small immortal sects.

The temple is too small, and there are only so many honorific seats, so it is limited to accommodate a few great masters.

Many cultivators did not expect Yan Yu to refuse so straightforwardly. You know, there are three main ingredients for the crystal pill. Given the situation of the Good Beast Sect, they should have no resistance to such candy thrown by the alchemist.

"Then I'll add another hundred high-grade spirit stones."

The man was silent for a long time, as if communicating with someone, and then added 100 high-quality spirit stones, pushing the price to a new peak.

"It seems that the Good Beast Gate hides more things than we thought."

On the right side, an old man with white hair and beard and dressed in white looked at Yan Yu with a strange look in his eyes.

Sitting next to him were two monks, one male and one female. Judging from their expressions, words and actions, the female monk was obviously of much higher status than the male monk.

"I remember that in the Good Beast Sect, apart from Huang Yun, there is no other alchemist who can refine the foundation-building pill."

The female cultivator frowned.

The three men were from Floating Cloud Mountain. As it involved something as rare and precious as the main ingredient for the Crystal Pill, even Li Yunshan, the powerful master of Floating Cloud Mountain, did not dare to be arrogant. He disguised himself and concealed his identity in order to reduce some unnecessary trouble.

The female cultivator was none other than the Linghua Fairy, while the other male cultivator was Tong Huan who had just established his foundation not long ago. (End of this chapter)
