Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

Chapter 126 The Way of the Golden Elixir
Song Changsheng's eyes were instantly attracted to it. After waiting for so long, his target finally appeared!
Xia Wanyun clapped her hands gently, and several waiters carried a tall tiger-shaped skeleton into everyone's sight.

The skeleton is one foot high and several feet long. Every bone maintains its integrity. There is no trace of flesh and blood left, and no obvious scars can be seen.

Its bones are white and crystal clear, with faintly demonic energy flowing around them. This is the sign of a second-level monster. As long as it reaches the second level, the flesh, flesh and bones of the monster will undergo earth-shaking changes, and its strength will increase dramatically.

If you remove any leg bone from above, its strength is only slightly inferior to that of a magical weapon of the same level. Leg bones, teeth, claws, tailbone, etc. are also excellent materials for weapon refining.

For such a big piece, even if it is taken apart, the selling value will not be too low.

However, Song Changsheng was not too worried, because in this auction, the white tiger skeleton was nothing, and there was no need for ordinary people to bid.

It's impossible to take it back and dismantle it into refining materials and sell it. Wouldn't that mean you'd lose all your pants?

Of course, if you have unique taste, you can buy it and make soup.

Closer to home, there are only two types of competitors that he needs to be wary of. One of them is his colleague - the weapon refiner. When faced with such materials, any weapon refiner will be moved.

But this type of people are also the best at weighing the pros and cons. As long as the value exceeds their psychological expectations, they will usually stop. If they can get [-] spiritual stones, it is good and there is nothing to worry about.

The second type is what Song Changsheng is most worried about - the puppet master.

Puppet masters can be said to be a variant of weapon refiners. They specialize in all kinds of puppets. These puppets have a wide variety of styles and a wide range of uses.

And they generally don't pick materials, whether they are living or dead, they can refine them into suitable puppets.With such a well-preserved white tiger skeleton in their hands, they could refine an animal bone puppet comparable to a foundation-building monk.

This value is somewhat difficult to estimate. It is possible to get tens of thousands of spiritual stones. The few spiritual stones Song Changsheng has are really not very safe.

"I hope I won't meet them." Song Changsheng said secretly in his heart.

At this time, Xia Wanyun below spoke: "Fellow Taoists and seniors, this white tiger skeleton is very well preserved and is a very good choice for refining weapons or puppets.

Its base price is 5000 yuan of spirit stones. Each increase in price must not be less than [-] yuan. The higher bidder will win. Please bid on your own. "

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a fat middle-aged man on the first floor who raised the sign in his hand and said loudly: "I offer 6000 yuan of spiritual stones!"

A foundation-building monk on the second floor was not to be outdone and said loudly: "I will pay you 500 yuan of spiritual stones."

As Song Changsheng expected, not many people were interested in this white tiger skeleton. There were just a few people bidding back and forth. After several rounds, it only rose to 1 yuan in spirit stones.

Finally, a foundation-building monk on the second floor suddenly raised the price to fifteen thousand. This price instantly dissuaded most people. After all, this was no longer a small amount, and some foundation-building monks might not be able to afford it.

Moreover, even if you can take it out, you have to see whether it is worth the money. This auction is still early. If you are lavishing money now, wouldn't it be embarrassing later when you encounter the things you need for cultivation and you can't get the spiritual stones?

As a result, most people chose to stop, including the fat man who made the bid at the beginning.

"This fellow Taoist in the box offered 5000 yuan of spiritual stones. Is there anything higher?" Xia Wanyun gently shook the wooden-handled hammer in her hand, indicating that she was about to drop the hammer.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Song Changsheng shouted decisively: "I offer 6000 yuan of spiritual stones."

He deliberately made his voice hoarse and old in order to prevent people from the Dihuo Sect from discovering his identity. He had dealt with Cheng Yufei many times, and he could hear the other person's voice and judge his identity. The opposite is also true. As soon as he opens his mouth, Cheng Yufei, an old fox, will definitely find out the clues.

In order to prevent this guy from causing trouble for himself, Song Changsheng had no choice but to choose this method to hide his identity.

"Ten thousand spiritual stones." In a private room on the second floor, a young monk with a sinister expression and a maid in his arms frowned and reported another number.

Naturally, Song Changsheng would not back down and raised the price by one thousand more.

The young monk suddenly became angry and said in a bad tone: "I will pay [-]!"

Although he noticed the change in the other party's tone, Song Changsheng ignored his thoughts. He had been preparing for so long, and it was impossible for him to give in.

So he followed closely and increased it to [-].

"Bang!" The young monk was furious, smashed the table with a slap, and said coldly: "Friend across the way, I, Wu Luochuan, have taken a liking to this skeleton. If you are willing to stop here, I promise to refine it for you. A puppet."

"It's actually Wuluochuan!"

When Song Changsheng heard the other party announcing his family status, Song Changsheng didn't feel anything at all, but Song Qingluo on the side immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"Why, he is very famous?" Song Changsheng frowned and thought for a while, and found that he had never heard of this person's name.

Song Qingluo nodded solemnly and said: "This person is a second-level puppet master. He is quite famous in Luoxia City. Many foundation-building monks beg him to refine puppets."

"I'm really afraid of what will happen." Song Changsheng frowned. He was very aware of the attraction of this skeleton to a puppet master. It seemed that there would be a "fierce battle" today.

If it had been anything else, he would have been happy to give it up and make friends with a skilled puppeteer, but this was really not possible. There was no such shop beyond this village.

So he also said: "This fellow Taoist, I really need it very much. If you are willing to part with me, I promise to refine a second-level magic weapon for you."

When Wu Luochuan heard this, his face instantly darkened, and he said angrily: "Then let's all rely on our own abilities, twenty-three thousand yuan of spiritual stones!"

"It seems there's nothing left to discuss, twenty-four thousand yuan of spirit stones!" Song Changsheng followed closely.

The two of them went back and forth, and the price of the white tiger skeleton soon soared to 3 yuan in spirit stones. At this point, Song Changsheng didn't have much money left. If the other party could still take it, then he planned to make a one-time purchase. After shouting to the top, if he couldn't scare Wu Luochuan, it would only mean that he had no chance with the White Tiger Ya.

On the other side, Wu Luochuan also felt a little bit stuck. His main target today was actually not the white tiger skeleton, but a second-level top-quality puppet.

The spiritual stones he prepared were not too many, and he had already used a lot of them before. If he continued to compete with Song Changsheng, the remaining spiritual stones would not be enough to win that puppet.

Wu Luochuan thought for a while with a gloomy face, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "I abstain!" Compared with the white tiger skeleton, the second-level top-quality puppet is more important.

Seeing that he gave up, Song Changsheng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and felt stable now.

As the hammer in Xia Wanyun's hand fell, the ownership of the white tiger's bones was finally determined.

Song Changsheng called the maid outside the door to come in and give some instructions. Soon she walked in with a storage bag and said respectfully: "Here are the treasures you took photos of. Please take a look."

After checking it and confirming that it was the skeleton, he took out 3 yuan and gave it to the maid, which made him feel quite sad. Now he only had less than [-] spiritual stones left in his possessions.

Although he got what he wanted, he was not in a hurry to leave. After all, the magic weapon and the final treasure had not been released yet. He also wanted to broaden his horizons...

The auction lasted until the morning of the next day, and several extraordinary treasures appeared during the auction, which attracted the monks from the Zifu to compete for them in person.

The low-grade magic weapon also appeared. It was a flying sword, tightly bound by layers of restrictions. Despite this, the sword energy was still radiating, which was terrifying.

The magic weapon has given birth to a weapon spirit and has a certain degree of autonomy. Even if no one is controlling it, it can still exert considerable power. If there is no restriction, no one knows how many of these qi-training monks on the first floor will die under this sword.

The magic weapon was powerful and the price was outrageous. The base price was 5 yuan of spirit stones. A group of Zifu monks went to bid in person. The price continued to rise, forcing back many foundation-building monks who wanted to mix it up.

In the end, this magic weapon was sold for 2000 yuan of mid-grade spiritual stones, which is equivalent to 20 yuan of low-grade spiritual stones, and was pocketed by the Tianjian Sect.

Song Changsheng couldn't help but secretly marveled. 20 spirit stones were as much as the Song family's total income for several years.

"Fellow Taoists, next is the finale treasure of this auction, please look here."

Xia Wanyun was a little tired after presiding over the auction for a day and night, but when she talked about the last treasure, she suddenly became a little excited, and an intoxicating blush quickly appeared on her face, making her look even more charming.

Although it has come to an end, the auction house is still full of people, and even if they don't participate in the bidding, they are unwilling to leave, such as Song Changsheng.

Because everyone wants to see with their own eyes what this secret treasure of the auction is.

Other auctions would more or less reveal a little bit of information about the final treasure to attract people, but this one kept it tightly covered and there was no news at all, arousing everyone's curiosity.

Seeing that everyone was looking over, Xia Wanyun smiled brightly and solemnly took out an exquisite jade box, but did not open it, but just held it in her hand and showed it around.

Everyone was a little confused, this finale is just a box?
This is obviously impossible, just listen to Xia Wanyun's sweet voice: "Fellow Taoists and seniors, the jade box in the hands of the slave family contains the last auction item of this auction, and inside is a [Binghuo Essence]!"

As soon as these words came out, it immediately caused an uproar. Some people were extremely excited while others were confused. For example, Song Qingluo had never heard of what this was.

This knowledge must be mastered by every clan member in the family, but since he has lived here since he was a child, he has indeed fallen behind a lot in theoretical knowledge. Song Changsheng immediately gave him a popular science guide: "Do you know what the monks of the Zi Mansion need to break through the golden elixir?" condition?"

This is a question of common sense. Song Qingluo immediately answered: "If the monks of Zifu want to break through the golden elixir stage, they must first replenish the power of the five elements and then smelt the golden elixir in Zifu."

Song Changsheng nodded and asked, "What is the most difficult part of this?"

Song Qingluo thought for a while and said: "Our human race is following the [Five Elements Golden Pill Path], so the most difficult point should be to supplement the power of the Five Elements.

Although the human body is born with all five elements, it has strengths and weaknesses. The strong one is the spiritual root of the monk, which is called the manifest spiritual root. The weak one is the hidden spiritual root and cannot absorb spiritual energy.

Except for the monks with different spiritual roots created under special circumstances, only the monks with five spiritual roots can try to break through the golden elixir without supplementing the power of the five elements.

The rest are more or less needed. For example, I have the three spiritual roots of water, fire, and earth, so I need to supplement the power of metal and wood to balance my five elements before I can embark on the golden elixir path. However, this process is very long, and many Zifu monks Stop here. "

The Lord of Heaven, before the golden elixir, the fewer spiritual roots, the faster the cultivation speed. Therefore, monks who only have one spiritual root are called Tianling roots. In fact, this is a "defective product."

They practiced quickly before the golden elixir stage, with almost no bottlenecks. However, to break through the golden elixir, they needed to complete four types of five elements, which took more time than others. The alien spirit root was even worse, and five elements had to be completed.

However, the five spiritual root monks who are the slowest in cultivation are actually the easiest. As long as they reach the level of cultivation, they can try to break through the golden elixir.

Everyone knows that it is easier for the five spiritual roots to break through the golden elixir, but everyone still defines those with less spiritual roots as geniuses and those with more spiritual roots as mediocre. The lower the power level, the more serious this phenomenon is.

Is everyone in the world stupid?
Of course not, because the speed of cultivating the Five Spiritual Roots is too slow. The resources required to cultivate to the Purple Mansion stage are dozens of times that of a Heavenly Spiritual Root. It is even more difficult at the hell level and may be in vain at any time.

Not to mention that small forces can't afford it, even big forces can't afford it.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of smart people in this world.

So a long time ago, someone proposed a solution, and there was more than one solution.

The first is to directly abandon the [Five Elements Golden Alchemy Path]. The proposer believes that monks with heavenly spiritual roots and foreign spiritual roots are born with only one kind of spiritual root. Why not take it to the extreme? As long as they can understand the power of the law, they can still do it. Break through the golden elixir.

This path was proven to be feasible, but more difficult than the [Five Elements Golden Elixir Path], and was later called the [One Yuan Golden Elixir Path].

The second type is completely different. Its proposer discovered that some five-element spiritual objects can be refined into the human body, thereby directly converting the hidden spiritual roots into manifest spiritual roots, such as this [Essence of Binghuo], refined by water-wood spiritual root monks After that, you can become a monk with the three spiritual roots of water, wood, and fire.

This method is gentler and faster than [One Yuan Jin Dan Dao], but it is more of a test of financial resources. After all, every heaven and earth spiritual object is extremely expensive.

After some explanations, Song Qingluo finally understood why everyone was so crazy. This was equivalent to competing for the opportunity to break through the golden elixir!
While the two were talking, the Zifu monks from all the major forces were already going crazy, and the price soared to 25 spirit stones, surpassing the previous magic weapon, and it was still rising.

The corner of Song Changsheng's mouth twitched a little. He finally understood why those cultivators with Heavenly Spiritual Roots and Differential Spiritual Roots chose to follow the [One Yuan Golden Pill Path].

Without him, I just hate the lack of financial resources!
