Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Unlike the "corpse puppets" of the Qi Refining and Foundation Building periods, it is much more difficult to refine a "corpse puppet" of the Golden Core period. The materials needed, such as the third-level Ghost King Ghost Pill, are also very rare in the world.

Even if the "Tiangui Sect" has a secret method to cultivate it, it will still take a lot of time and spiritual objects to do it. The spiritual stone materials needed to cultivate a Jindan period "corpse puppet" are at least ten times more than those of a foundation-building "corpse puppet".

It is for this reason that "corpse puppets" above the Jindan stage are so rare in the world of immortal cultivation.

Like the foundation-building cultivators below, at least half of the Jindan cultivators who came to the "Tiangui Sect" auction on the second floor also came for the few Jindan "corpse puppets" that were the finale of the auction.

After all, as Jindan cultivators, none of them would want to refuse a helper who can increase their combat power by 30%. A Jindan-stage "corpse puppet" is far more useful to Jindan cultivators than ordinary magic weapons.

However, with so many Jindan cultivators present, it is hard to say who will be able to obtain these Jindan "corpse puppets"!
The appearance of these foundation-building "corpse puppets" brought the entire auction into an unprecedentedly lively scene. It was not until more than half an hour later that more than a dozen foundation-building "corpse puppets" were successfully divided up by the cultivators in the audience.

The two most expensive "corpse puppets" whose cultivation had reached the late stage of foundation building were auctioned at a high price of nearly twelve thousand spirit stones, which made Song Qingming sigh inwardly.

"Even among these foundation-building cultivators in the audience, there are many who are wealthy enough to be willing to spend so many spirit stones on this."

Back when Song Qingming was still in the foundation-building stage, he was reluctant to spend so many spirit stones to even configure a talisman, let alone the more expensive "corpse puppet".

After all the "corpse puppets" on the stage had their respective owners, at the next auction, the "Tiangui Sect" continued to take out more high-level spiritual objects unique to their sect, as well as things like the Foundation Establishment Pill that could attract the attention of many cultivators.

Unlike the immortal world of the Floating Cloud Mountains, the immortal world of the "Donghuang Kingdom", as a holy land for human cultivators, has much richer resources of spiritual herbs and medicines that can be cultivated.

Therefore, although the "Foundation Building Pill" is also very expensive here, the method of obtaining it is not as difficult as in the Floating Cloud Mountains. As long as you have enough spirit stones, it is not difficult to buy it in a larger market.

Song Qingming had already purchased several "Foundation Building Pills" when he passed by other means and participated in the trading conference. Therefore, the Foundation Building Pills offered by the "Tian Kui Sect" were no longer very attractive to Song Qingming now.

Although he had no shortage of spirit stones and spiritual objects, Song Qingming did not make many bids on the second day of the auction. He only competed for a few third-level spiritual objects, and immediately withdrew when he saw that the price exceeded his expectations.

Just like the "Star Conference" that Song Qingming participated in that year, the auction held by the "Tian Kui Sect" was also divided into three days. On the one hand, it could keep everyone in the market town for a few more days and increase the income of spirit stones in various parts of the market town.

On the other hand, it can also give some monks who spent too many spirit stones the day before some time to raise spirit stones so that they can participate in the next auction.

On the third day, the entire "Tian Kui Sect" auction entered its final climax stage.

Right at the beginning, the cultivator from the "Tiangui Sect" who was in charge of presiding over the auction took out the first item, which was a powerful "corpse puppet" whose cultivation had reached the Jindan stage. It instantly attracted the attention of all the cultivators at the auction site.

Especially those Jindan monks sitting on the second floor of the auction site, all of them had a gleam of light in their eyes, and many monks had put down their teacups and were ready to start bidding on the stage.

As soon as the cultivator from the Tiankui Sect who was presiding over the auction of the item announced the start of bidding, more than a dozen Jindan cultivators immediately sent voice messages to announce their prices.

Song Qingming, who was sitting upstairs, looked at the price of the golden elixir "corpse puppet" calmly. It soared from the base price of 20,000 spirit stones to nearly 40,000 spirit stones in a short time.

Seeing the heated competitive atmosphere at the scene, Song Qingming could only gently pick up the teacup on the table, take a sip patiently, and give up the idea of ​​making a bid.

Although he could take out so many spirit stones to participate in the competition, the main purpose of his trip was not to come for this golden elixir "corpse puppet". He still had to save the spirit stones and wait for the next spiritual object.

In the end, this Jindan corpse puppet, whose cultivation was not as good as that of "Jinfeng", fell into the hands of a middle-aged man at the third level of Jindan at a high price of 48,000 spirit stones.

Seeing that the other party spent so many spirit stones to get this golden elixir "corpse puppet", and then went downstairs excitedly to trade with the "Tiangui Sect" cultivators, Song Qingming sighed slightly in his heart.

Originally, Song Qingming had an idea to try to buy a Jindan "corpse puppet" and give it to Qingyu or Huang Siyuan when he returned. However, seeing that the price of this thing was so high, it was indeed a bit difficult for him to make a move.

The reason why he didn't want to use it on himself was because in the world of immortal cultivation, a Jindan cultivator could only control one "corpse puppet" of the same level to fight the enemy with the help of his split soul.

If there are too many, one's own soul will not be able to control it, and the ability of the "corpse puppet" in battle will be greatly reduced, making it difficult for the controlled "corpse puppet" to exert the power one wants.

It is precisely because of this limitation that the disciples of Yuanying sects like the "Tiangui Sect" can rely on the help of "corpse puppets" to gain some advantages in battles with cultivators of the same level, but their strength is essentially not much beyond that of other ordinary cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation.

When they encounter stronger cultivators of the same level who have better and more powerful weapons, they are still no match for them.

Otherwise, if it were like those puppet beasts, as long as the cultivator's spiritual awareness was stronger, he could control several "corpse puppets" of the same level to fight at the same time, then it would be difficult for any cultivator of the same level to defeat them.

If this is true, the strength of the "Tian Kui Sect" should be more than just this, and it would have been ranked among the top ten Nascent Soul sects in the "Donghuang Kingdom"'s immortal cultivation world.

Under normal circumstances, a cultivator can only control one "corpse puppet". Now that Song Qingming already has the "Golden Wind" on his body, he naturally does not need any extra "corpse puppets".

The first "corpse puppet" had just been auctioned off when the monk from the "Tiangui Sect" who was hosting the auction waved his hand and took out two more green bottles. He smiled and said loudly to the monks present:

"My fellow Taoists, those of you who have Jindan-stage corpse puppets on you will definitely want to continue to improve their strength!

Our sect has already considered this for everyone. These two bottles of Golden Puppet Pills are secret medicines refined using our sect's unique secret method. They can help corpse puppets in the early stage of Golden Pill to quickly break through the realm of cultivation.

Let me make it clear to you all in advance that this pill is only effective when it helps the "corpse puppet" to break through the realm of cultivation. It does not mean that if you directly refine it now, you can increase your cultivation level out of thin air. I hope that my fellow Taoists will not misunderstand this point.

Well, I have reminded you of what I should have said. That is all I have to say. It is up to you fellow Taoists to take charge of the rest!"

"Golden Puppet Pill, starting price is 3,000 Spiritual Stones per pill, fellow Taoists, please bid!"

"Three thousand five hundred spirit stones!" As soon as the voice on the stage fell, a voice was immediately shouted out from a private room on the second floor opposite Song Qingming.

Seeing that the spiritual object he had been waiting for for a long time finally came out, and after confirming the effectiveness of this object with Qing Ling beside him, Song Qingming did not think too much about it, and quickly opened his mouth and shouted out his own offer!

"Four thousand spirit stones!"

".."

Knowing that this item can only be used by "corpse puppets" in the early Jindan stage to break through, those cultivators who do not have this item on them will definitely not participate in the bidding for no reason.

Therefore, there were not many cultivators competing with Song Qingming for this item at the scene, and there were only three or five people including him.

"Five thousand five hundred spirit stones!"

"Six thousand spiritual stones!"

As bids were called out one after another, the price of the "Golden Puppet Pill" climbed to six thousand spirit stones, slowly exceeding its original market price, and gradually some cultivators withdrew from the bidding.

Because the cultivation speed of "corpse puppets" is generally lower than that of normal Jindan cultivators, it is difficult for outsiders to cultivate them without secret methods.

Except for sects like the Tiangui Sect that specialize in studying this art, other ordinary Jindan cultivators would rarely spend too much energy and resources to cultivate a Jindan-stage "corpse puppet".

Only someone like Song Qingming, who has enough resources for cultivation and happens to meet the "Golden Wind" who has followed him for many years and has reached the peak of the Golden Core level and can hardly make any progress, would spend some spirit stones to help it quickly break through its cultivation level.

"Six thousand five hundred spirit stones!"

Apart from Song Qingming, there was only one Jindan early stage cultivator left present. He was wearing a loose black robe, had a fair face and a very handsome appearance, and was still making an offer and had not given up on fighting for this item.

"Seven thousand spirit stones!"

As soon as the black-robed monk finished quoting the price, Song Qingming did not hesitate. He immediately sent another voice message to the auction table below, raising the price of the "Golden Puppet Pill" to seven thousand spirit stones.

Since he came here mainly for this spiritual object, Song Qingming would naturally not give up easily as long as the price was not too outrageous.

Seeing this! The black-robed monk who was sitting not far from Song Qingming's private room hesitated for a moment, and then chose to send a message to Song Qingming.

"My fellow Daoist, although this pill is precious, its current price is a little beyond its original value. If we continue to fight over it, these spirit stones will only benefit the Tiangui Sect in vain. If you agree, I will give you this pill first, and please don't fight with me for the next Golden Puppet Pill. How do you think about this?"

The black-robed monk was obviously dressed like a man, but his voice was unexpectedly pleasant to the ears, with a hint of femininity, making it difficult for Song Qingming to tell for a moment whether the other person was a man or a woman.

However, in the world of cultivating immortals, there are all kinds of strange people and things. These are no longer strange to him who has traveled everywhere. What Song Qingming cares more about is that the other party wants to discuss with him the auction of the "Golden Puppet Pill".

After just a moment's thought, Song Qingming immediately nodded slightly at the other party, agreeing to the proposal he proposed.

Although Song Qingming also wanted to get both of the "Golden Puppet Pills" on the stage, the other party was also coming for this elixir.

If the two of them fought endlessly at this kind of auction, a lot of spirit stones would definitely be wasted, which would not be a very cost-effective thing for him.

Anyway, having a "Golden Puppet Pill" should be enough to help "Jin Feng" break through his cultivation. As for the next time he breaks through his cultivation, it will normally take at least several decades.

Song Qingming currently has no long-term plans to cultivate "Golden Wind", so he can only take it one step at a time and see what happens when the time comes.

After all, improving the cultivation and strength of "Golden Wind" is only a secondary matter for Song Qingming. The key spirit stones are still to be used to improve his own cultivation.

"Since no fellow Daoist is willing to bid, this lower-grade third-level Golden Puppet Pill will belong to fellow Daoist No. 32. Congratulations on winning this item with 7,000 spirit stones!"

Without the competition from the black-robed monks, when the result was announced by the monk from the Tiankui Sect who presided over the auction, Song Qingming immediately stood up and went to the stage, spent several thousand spirit stones, and successfully got the elixir he wanted.

Although the price of seven thousand spirit stones to buy this "Golden Puppet Pill" was slightly higher than the market price of this pill, Song Qingming was still very happy that he had successfully achieved his goal.

When the second "Golden Puppet Pill" appeared, Song Qingming was also very trustworthy and did not continue to participate in the competition. As expected, the remaining elixir fell into the hands of the black-robed monk for 6,500 spirit stones.

After taking the picture of the item, the black-robed monk bowed slightly towards Song Qingming to express his gratitude. Seeing this, Song Qingming immediately smiled and returned the greeting.

This time, both of them successfully got the pill they wanted. Both sides were very satisfied with the result and had smiles on their faces.

After the auction of these two "Golden Puppet Pills", the "Tiankui Sect" took out some spiritual pills that could improve the cultivation of "Corpse Puppets" in the Golden Core Stage at the auction.

However, compared to the "Golden Puppet Pill" that can be used for breakthroughs, the number of these spiritual objects is much larger, and the competition is also relatively smaller.

After all, most people who buy spiritual creatures like the Jindan-stage "corpse puppets" use them as timely combat power. There are indeed not many cultivators like Song Qingming who are willing to spend spirit stone resources to cultivate them.

Taking advantage of this gap, Song Qingming made frequent moves and spent thousands of spirit stones to buy a lot of elixirs and spiritual objects for "Jinfeng" that could enhance other cultivation abilities.

After all these spiritual objects had passed by, not long after, the "Tiangui Sect" took out a precious golden elixir "corpse puppet" to liven up the slightly depressed atmosphere at the scene.

Because the Jindan-stage "corpse puppet" brought out by the "Tiangui Sect" has a higher level of cultivation and has reached the third level of Jindan.

Therefore, compared to the first golden elixir "corpse puppet", the price this time was also higher. It was not until 56,000 spirit stones that it was finally bought.

Seeing the prices being higher than the last, Song Qingming also witnessed the love and madness of the Jindan cultivators present for these Jindan stage "corpse puppets".

If Song Qingming had not been fortunate enough to obtain a ghost pill back then, and if Chen Xuanxin had not just given him the secret technique of refining the golden elixir "Corpse Puppet", he would not have been able to spend so much effort to refine the "Golden Wind".

If he had been asked to spend 40,000 or 50,000 spirit stones to buy a finished Jindan "corpse puppet" like the other Jindan cultivators present now, even if he had so many spirit stones, Song Qingming might not have been able to make up his mind.

After all, since he began practicing Taoism, Song Qingming has never been a person who likes to fight with others. In his mind, improving his cultivation speed has always taken priority over improving his fighting ability.

After the auction of the second golden elixir "corpse puppet" was completed, the auction was already more than halfway through. The spiritual objects that the "Tiangui Sect" took out next were all the remaining high-quality finale spiritual objects.

Next, the "Tian Kui Sect" took out several spiritual objects of level three mid-grade or above. When it came to the penultimate spiritual object, there was even a level three top-grade magic weapon that was extremely rare on the market.

This immediately attracted everyone's attention and caused a fight among the Jindan cultivators present. However, in the end, as expected, the item fell into the hands of a late Jindan cultivator from a nearby Yuanying sect.

Magical weapons of the third-grade upper grade or above are extremely rare and precious spiritual objects, even in the world of immortal cultivation in the "Donghuang Country" where spiritual object resources are relatively abundant.

It is rare to see a top-grade third-level magic weapon on an ordinary Jindan cultivator; most of them are in the hands of Yuanying-level sects.

Song Qingming was traveling alone, so naturally he didn't want to provoke those cultivators from the Nascent Soul Sect. Therefore, although the last few treasures auctioned were good, he did not take the initiative to participate in the bidding competition. He just sat aside and watched to broaden his horizons.

As time went on, the entire auction soon entered the competition for the last item.

When Song Qingming saw the golden elixir "corpse puppet" that the "Tiangui Sect" took out on the stage, he couldn't help but feel slightly shocked, as he had been looking forward to it for a long time.

"It turned out to be a corpse puppet of the late Jindan stage. The Tiangui Sect was really generous this time. They were willing to even give out this!"

"Haha! It really wasn't a wasted trip. I didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to see such a rare spiritual creature."

".!"

Hearing the sounds of surprise coming from all around him, Song Qingming couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise on his face.

Although we know that as the finale of the auction, the spiritual object that "Tiangui Sect" will finally take out will definitely not be an ordinary object, it should at least be a third-level top-grade spiritual object to be worthy of the finale spiritual object.

But even so, Song Qingming still didn't expect that the "Tiangui Sect" would actually be willing to put a "corpse puppet" that had been cultivated to the late Jindan stage up for public auction. This was indeed a bit beyond his expectations.

You know, it is very difficult for a Jindan-stage "corpse puppet" to improve its cultivation by each level. If you want to cultivate such a Jindan-level seventh-level "corpse puppet" on the stage, even if the "Tiangui Sect" has special secret methods, it is estimated that it will take at least a hundred years to cultivate it.

It stands to reason that "corpse puppets" of this level are important combat power foundations of the "Tiangui Sect" and are generally reserved for use by the elders of the sect. They are unlikely to appear in such a public auction.

After asking Qing Ling who was standing nearby, Song Qingming realized that it was not the first time that the "Tian Kui Sect" had taken out precious spiritual objects of this level at an auction. Song Qingming's face slowly showed some understanding.

Before the cultivators present could recover from their shock, the cultivator from the "Tiangui Sect" immediately began to introduce the detailed information of this "corpse puppet" in the late Jindan stage according to the auction process.

To be honest, among the hundreds of Jindan cultivators present, including Song Qingming, almost everyone was fascinated by this late Jindan "corpse puppet".

You should know that this is a powerful combat force comparable to that of an ordinary late Jindan cultivator. If Song Qingming can get the help of this thing, with his current fifth-level Jindan cultivation, he will definitely not be at a disadvantage when facing a cultivator like Li Wutong who has just broken through to the late Jindan stage not long ago.

“My fellow Taoists, let me kindly remind you that this corpse puppet of the late Jindan stage is a rare spiritual object that our sect will only produce once every two hundred years. If you miss it this time, you will have to wait at least another two hundred years next time. I hope you don’t miss this opportunity.

The lowest price is 30,000 Spiritual Stones. Fellow Daoists, please make your bids!"

"Thirty-two thousand spirit stones, thirty-three thousand spirit stones, thirty-five thousand spirit stones!"

As soon as the "Tian Kui Sect" announced the start of the auction, most of the Jindan cultivators sitting on the stage immediately and excitedly quoted their prices, as they all did not want to miss out on this once-in-a-century opportunity.

"Our sect offers 60,000 spirit stones!"

Just as the bidding was going on hotly on the stage, a gray-clothed old man in the late Jindan stage sitting in the front private rooms on the second floor raised the price of this late Jindan "corpse puppet" to a sky-high price of 60,000 spirit stones, immediately interrupting the voices of the cultivators present who were constantly bidding.

"You are such an ignorant bunch. You casual cultivators are not qualified to own spiritual objects of this level!" After the gray-clothed old man finished quoting the price, he did not forget to mock the cultivator who had just participated in the auction.

Faced with the sarcasm of the gray-robed old man, although many monks present felt somewhat unhappy, no one dared to show it. They all quickly turned their gazes away, not daring to look him in the face again.

"Haha! Old Ghost Yu, your words are really harsh. Since the fellow Taoists present have come here to participate in the auction, they are all distinguished guests of the Tiangui Sect. Even if they don't have the strength, they are still qualified to bid. Why do you have to speak so coldly?"

As soon as the gray-clothed old man finished speaking, a middle-aged man sitting in a private room not far away immediately responded to him. (End of this chapter)
