Begin the path of immortality from mortals

"Master Chi and the Long family?"

After hearing what Lu Tiandu said, Ye Ying's eyes flashed with a thoughtful look:

"The Long family secretly controls many large auctions in the three territories. Master Chi is the royal weapon refiner of Qianhua Tower on the surface. It is hard to say whether Qianhua Tower is related to the Long family!"

"Besides, it is rare for a weapon refining master to appear at this kind of Savage Auction held every three years. It is indeed unusual for this person to appear at this time. In addition, Master Chi said that there will be several treasures in this auction that he personally appraised. It seems that as expected, the Yin-Yang Transformation Art is one of them!"

"That should be the case. However, since the Long family hid behind the scenes and let this Master Chi come forward, they will definitely not only take out the Yin-Yang Transformation Technique, but we may also get other rewards!"

Lu Tiandu chuckled.

He remembered that at the auction when Master Chi appeared, in addition to the Yin-Yang Transformation Art, there were also two treasures: the scales of the True Spirit Black Qilin and the replica of the Tongtian Lingbao.

He was not very interested in the imitation of Tongtian Lingbao. This kind of treasure was only slightly stronger than ordinary spiritual treasures. It was very attractive to ordinary gods and void cultivators, but he did not take it seriously.

After all, he had several top-level spiritual treasures in his hands, and Ye Ying beside him also had several imitations of Tongtian spiritual treasures. Both of them had no shortage of treasures.

He and Ye Ying attended the auction this time, not only to see the excitement of the Long family, but also for the black unicorn's scales, which were truly spiritual items.

In addition, since Master Chi has appeared, Longdong might be watching secretly nearby.

Since the Long family dared to covet Ye Ying's colorful phoenix blood, Lu Tian naturally didn't mind taking away the mutated dragon blood from Long Dong.

Since entering the auction house, he has secretly released a huge amount of spiritual power in an attempt to find Long Dong's trace. However, the power of the restriction in this auction house was beyond his expectations. Although he successfully broke through the layers of restrictions with his spiritual power that exceeded that of an early stage fusion cultivator, unfortunately he still did not find any trace of Long Dong.

Just as Lu Tiandu and Ye Ying were communicating, amid the flattering voices of many cultivators, the old man in white robes spoke again:
"To let everyone know what's going on, I can reveal one thing in advance. The three treasures being auctioned this time are much more valuable than in the past. I'm afraid they are rare in the past few hundred years. Among them is a top-quality material obtained from the Savage World, a replica of a Tongtian Lingbao on the Chaos Spirit List, and the last item is a complete set of main cultivation techniques left by a senior who was at the fusion stage and was famous in both the human and demon races."

Hearing Master Chi's words, Lu Tiandu and Ye Ying looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding.

As for the other monks in the field, after the sudden silence, they became noisy again.

The best materials from the wilderness are fine, but the imitations of the celestial treasures on the Chaos Ten Thousand Spirits List and the main cultivation techniques of the late-stage fusion cultivators are extremely rare things for them, the gods and the void cultivators.

If any of them were to get out into the open, it would probably cause a bloody storm.

Everyone's hearts beat loudly, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became extremely solemn.

"Brother Chi, since there are such important things in this auction, why didn't you release the news in advance, so that we can prepare some spirit stones. Is there any hidden secret?"

Suddenly, a shrill and strange voice, like that of a child, was heard from a stone house.

"Don't worry, fellow Daoist. The reason why the items in this auction have been kept secret until now is that the owner of these three treasures is the same person, and he personally asked for the secrecy to be kept secret... I can personally guarantee that these items are genuine treasures, and there is absolutely no falsehood at all."

The old man in white robe seemed to have anticipated someone asking this question and replied with a smile.

Hearing the old man's answer, the group of practitioners were slightly stunned, but more people were overjoyed, and no one asked similar questions again.

Seeing that no one had any objections, the old man surnamed Chi immediately announced the start of the auction and clapped his hands lightly.

After a "pop" sound, more than ten rays of light of different colors flew up from the stage.

After the light dimmed, ten beautiful female cultivators in palace attire appeared behind the old man.

Each of them has the cultivation level of Danjie or above. They stand tall and tall, each holding a brocade box of different sizes in their hands.

"According to previous practice, we will start with various finished elixirs and treasures, followed by various rare materials, techniques and secret manuals, and finally the top items. The first item to be auctioned this time is a bottle of 'Ming Yu Dan' that can be refined to the initial stage of spiritual cultivation. The starting price is one million spirit stones, and each bid increase must not be less than one hundred thousand."

The old man in white robe spoke loudly and waved his hand backwards.

More than 90% of the cultivators participating in this auction were Jindan cultivators, and most of them were in the early Jindan stage. When they saw the Mingyu Pill taken out by the auctioneer, the cultivators rushed to bid.

This bottle of Mingyu Pill was quickly sold for 2.2 million spirit stones, and then Yuqing Pill, Huanxin Pill, Ziyang Pill and other spirit-transforming-level pills were continuously taken to the auction.

However, in a short period of time, dozens of bottles of God-Transforming elixirs were sold out. The atmosphere was so hot that it was no less exciting than the once-in-a-century auction in Tianling City that Lu Tiandu had participated in.

These pills are mainly suitable for cultivators in the early and middle stages of the Spirit Transformation Realm. The price of each bottle is roughly around two to three million spirit stones.

As for elixirs and spiritual liquids like Qingxu Dan and Zhenchan Ye, which are suitable for late-stage Jindan cultivators to improve their cultivation, there is not a single bottle.

This is normal, after all, this auction is just a regular auction held every three years. In addition, elixirs above the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm are rare even in a place like Tianyuan City where the circulation of resources is very large.

Compared to the excitement of the elixir auction, the atmosphere of the subsequent imitation spiritual treasure and spiritual treasure auctions was much duller.

For most cultivators, elixirs are consumables that are closely related to their cultivation. Spiritual treasures and other treasures are only purchased after they are damaged during a thunder tribulation or encountering a strong enemy. After all, most cultivators have limited wealth.

As for the subsequent auctions of materials, techniques and other cultivation items, they were also extremely hot. From this, it can be seen that most of the cultivators participating in the auction did not set their sights on the three things at the bottom of their boxes.

Although everyone is tempted by these three items, most monks also know their own limitations. Instead of wishing for things that they have no hope of getting, it is better to bid for things that are useful to them when those wealthy people turn their attention to the last auction items, so as to avoid making a wasted trip to the auction.

"Okay, the next item to be auctioned is a rare top-grade wind-attribute spiritual material. This item is also a rare item, but the quantity is a bit small. Even so, if this 'Wind Tribulation Stone' is added when refining a wind-attribute spiritual treasure, the power of the treasure will increase by 20%..."

After the old man surnamed Chi finished speaking, a maid appeared on the jade table holding a tray. As the brocade cloth on the tray was removed, a bluish-white crystal stone the size of a walnut appeared in everyone's consciousness.

“It turned out to be the Wind Tribulation Stone. I didn’t expect there would be such an unexpected surprise!”

Lu Tiandu's spiritual sense swept across the tiny wind whirlpools that emerged around the bluish-white crystal in the tray, and his eyes lit up.

This item turned out to be one of the top-grade wind-attribute spiritual materials needed to refine the all-powerful spiritual treasure, the Wind and Thunder Scissors.

Over the years, he had collected a lot of top-level thunder-attribute spiritual materials, such as strange thunder stones, thunder turtle shells, bones, etc., but he had rarely collected top-level wind-attribute spiritual materials. He didn't expect to come across such a good thing as the Wind Tribulation Stone this time.

"It's a pity that there are so few of these!"

At this time, Ye Ying also recognized the item and sighed, "Brother Lu wants to take a picture of this?"

"Well, I just happen to have a use for this thing."

Lu Tian nodded with a smile and waited quietly.

The starting price for such a small piece of Wind Tribulation Stone was as high as tens of millions of Spirit Stones, but in just a short moment it was raised to 18 million Spirit Stones.

However, the bidders at this time were basically all Void Refining cultivators. Lu Tiandu had previously released his divine sense to observe secretly, and among the more than a thousand cultivators this time, there were nearly a hundred Void Refining cultivators.

After hearing that the price had reached 19 million and that there were only two people competing in the end, Lu Tian did not hesitate to call out the sky-high price of 20 million spirit stones.

As soon as this price was announced, one of the two competing elders shook his head and withdrew from the competition.

After another person made another bid, Lu Tiandu finally won the item at a sky-high price of 22 million spirit stones.

After the Wind Tribulation Stone, some spiritual medicines and spiritual fruits were auctioned. Lu Tiandu occasionally bid for two rare spiritual fruits, and then stopped bidding and waited quietly.

Not long after the auction of the spiritual medicines and fruits was over, the old man in white robes clapped his hands lightly, and three monks in different costumes slowly walked up from the stage.

In addition to the two old men, there was also a plain-dressed woman in a green skirt.

These three were weapon masters invited to this auction to act as appraisers. One of them was an old man in the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm. Lu Tiandu knew this man. He was a descendant of an ascender and had visited him in the past.

When the old man in white robe saw these three people on stage, he stepped forward and said a few polite words, then turned back to face the group of cultivators and said:

"Next, here are the three most precious treasures of this auction. These three treasures have also been appraised by three weapon refining masters... The first treasure was obtained from the wilderness, and it is the three scales shed by the True Spirit Black Qilin. This item can not only be used to refine the rumored Kuishui True Spirit Pill, but can also be used as the top-level material for refining water-attributed spiritual treasures..."

When the cultivators in the Feitian House heard the words "black unicorn scales", most of them took a deep breath. After all, spiritual objects were extremely rare, and they were not something that these godsend cultivators could get their hands on.

As for those who were wealthy, they were all ecstatic when they heard about the Qilin scales.

At this time, the old man in white robe had already retreated to one side. The middle-aged woman among the three appraisers stepped forward and flicked the storage bracelet with one hand. A crystal jade box about a foot in size emerged. Runes on it flashed faintly, emitting a white misty light. It was obvious that it was not an ordinary thing.

The woman didn't need the old man in white robe to introduce anything. She just pointed her finger at the jade box.

After a "bang", the lid of the box opened automatically, followed by a few "whoosh" sounds, and three black lights shot out and flew straight into the sky.

But the middle-aged woman seemed to be prepared, and she casually reached up into the air with one hand.

Suddenly, an invisible force emerged from nowhere, covering the three black lights and pulling them down suddenly.

Three black lights circled and then flashed wildly, turning into fist-sized black-green scales, which were caught in the hands of the middle-aged woman.

The woman put two of them back into the jade box, sealed it with a forbidden talisman, and then held the remaining scale between her fingers, showing it to the other cultivators and introducing it...

“I didn’t expect that the Long family would actually take out a true spiritual object for this layout!”

In the Feitian House, Ye Ying looked at the blue-black scales in the middle-aged woman's hand with surprise.

As one of the top three True Spirit families, the Ye family naturally has several True Spirit items in their treasury. However, such rare items are the family heritage, and no one would trade them unless absolutely necessary.

It was really beyond her expectation that the Long family took out the black unicorn scale.

"This item is indeed a rare item, but with only three pieces, it is not very useful. It makes sense to trade it!"

Lu Tiandu shook his head.

The true spirit scales of the black unicorn are indeed the top-grade water-attributed spiritual materials. If there are hundreds of them, it would not be difficult to refine a water-attributed spiritual armor by combining it with other rare materials.

Of course, even if there are more than ten of them, combined with other spiritual materials, they can also be refined into a spiritual treasure-level armor.

But if there are only three of them, it would be quite useless.

Therefore, compared to using this item to refine weapons, most people who are interested in the scales in the field are ready to buy it to use it to refine the Kuishui Zhenling Pill.

This Kuishui Zhenling Pill is similar to the Qixia Lotus in Lu Tiandu's hand, both of which are extremely rare and heaven-defying spiritual objects. After taking it, it can allow a cultivator in the early stage of the Spiritualization to advance to the middle stage of the Spiritualization in a short period of time without any accident, which is a great temptation for cultivators in the early stage of the Spiritualization.

As for the Void Refining cultivators in the field, many of them also have descendants or disciples. The Kuishui Zhenling Pill can save the Spirit Transformation cultivators hundreds of years of hard training and is also very important to the disciples they value.

As for Lu Tiandu's interest in these three pieces of Qilin scales, it was because the scales of this black Qilin were the top-level water-attributed spiritual materials. In addition to refining armor, they could also be used in refining other water-attributed spiritual treasures.

For example, in the future, he could use this item in conjunction with other top-level five-element spiritual objects to enhance the Five Elements Ring in his hand, a top-level spiritual treasure, greatly increasing its power and allowing it to enter the Chaos Ten Thousand Spirits List.

"If I hadn't already advanced to the middle stage, I would have bought this item and asked Sister Min to make a pill for me!"

Ye Ying listened to the noise of the cultivators in the field and smiled.

Ever since Lu Tiandu formally introduced her to Min Rou and Min Yan a few years ago, she has called Min Rou and Min Yan "sister".

"What's the big deal? In a few years, I have something that can help you advance to the late stage of Spiritualization quickly. It won't be difficult for you to advance to the Void Refining stage within a hundred years!"

Lu Tiandu smiled slightly.

"Really? Thank you, Brother Lu!"

Ye Ying giggled and threw herself into Lu Tiandu's arms. She wrapped her snow-white arms around Lu Tiandu's neck affectionately and asked curiously:

"Brother Lu, please tell me what the treasure is!"

"Qixialian!"

Lu Tiandu smiled and patted Ye Ying's perky buttocks and said.

"It turned out to be this thing! Brother Lu is indeed a man of great fortune!"

Ye Ying showed a look of surprise and looked at Lu Tiandu tenderly. Suddenly, she seemed to think of something. Her dark eyes rolled around and she said:

"No wonder Sister Xuan advanced to the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm so quickly a few years ago, and it seems that she is not far from the peak of the late stage. She should have taken the Seven Clouds Lotus given by Brother Lu, right?"

Talking about some of Xuan Xuan's changes, Ye Ying wrinkled her nose slightly and revealed a hint of jealousy in her words.

"Hey, girl, why are you so jealous?"

Lu Tiandu chuckled, looking at the cute girl in his arms who rarely showed such an expression. He gently tightened the slender waist of the beauty in his arms, and just tilted his head to kiss her two delicate lips... (End of this chapter)
