Gou Dao and Cultivation of Immortals, Start from Farming

"The bidding time limit has expired. Congratulations to bidder No. 1, who won the eighth-level weapon refining spiritual material - Void Spirit Crystal with million high-quality spiritual stones!"

Wan Tiancheng announced the auction results and looked respectfully towards VIP Room No. 1.

The monks in the hall were whispering to each other, with speculation and discussion rising one after another.

"It's No. 1 again. I wonder which god he is? He is so generous and has won a lot of good things!" A middle-aged monk in gorgeous robes couldn't help but sigh, his eyes full of envy.

"That's right! First it was the Broken World Stone, then the Dao-level Insect Scripture, and now, even this eighth-level spiritual material has been taken into his pocket. He is truly wealthy and powerful!" A young cultivator nearby had admiration and yearning for the strong in his eyes, and his words were full of amazement.

"He didn't seem to snatch the Taoist soldiers from others, otherwise they would have fallen into his hands." An old man in the Lianxu realm stroked his beard and analyzed seriously.

"Have you noticed that the attitudes of other VIP rooms towards No. 1 are extremely respectful? Even during the bidding, there are rarely direct confrontations, as if they all tacitly agreed to some unwritten rules. This tacit understanding is by no means accidental!" said an observant cultivator of the Void Refining Realm with certainty.

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around them immediately thought deeply.

"Could it be that VIP Room No. 1 is really owned by Master Li?" Someone made a bold hypothesis. Although the voice was light, it was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

Hearing this, all the monks' eyes lit up and they looked towards VIP Room No. 1 with reverence, and most of them confirmed this guess.

At this time, Wan Tiancheng gently knocked the auction hammer, attracting the attention of all the cultivators in the audience. With a professional smile on his face, he introduced in a loud and passionate voice: "Dear fellow Taoists, next, we will welcome the third Taoist weapon of this auction."

As soon as he finished speaking, the transmission array on the auction platform flashed, and a small green tripod emerged.

The body of the tripod is carved with intricate and exquisite patterns. Upon closer inspection, one can see green vines entwined and green leaves dancing, as if they were alive and wandering around the body of the tripod, releasing strands of wood spirit energy that make people involuntarily feel a sense of freshness and tranquility.

"The material of the Green Wood Tripod is extraordinary. It is the heart of a thousand-year-old green wood, supplemented with deep-sea silver. The pattern of green vines and green leaves on the surface of the Tripod is not a simple carving, but is integrated with the "vitality formation", so that every leaf and every vine contains a rich vitality force, which can absorb the wood spirit energy between heaven and earth and nourish the Tripod."

Wan Tiancheng smiled slightly and gave a detailed introduction to the monks below the stage.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wan Tiancheng stretched out his hand and injected a stream of spiritual power into the Qingmu Ding. The next moment, the Qingmu Ding slowly rotated, and gentle yet powerful waves of spiritual power emanated from the Ding, resonating with the surrounding space, causing the concentration of spiritual energy in the entire auction hall to slightly increase.

What is even more amazing is that there is a emerald green wooden heart inlaid on the lid of the tripod. It is not only the spiritual power center of the entire tripod, but also a magical treasure that can guide and amplify the effects of wood-based spells.

Seeing this, Wan Tiancheng's eyes flashed with admiration. He cleared his throat and introduced excitedly: "My fellow Taoists, this Qingmu Ding is not only an extremely rare seventh-level magic cauldron, but also an auxiliary alchemy tool that contains the principle of 'endless life'. Whether it is an alchemist pursuing the ultimate quality of elixir, or a practitioner seeking a secret treasure to increase wood-type spiritual power, the Qingmu Ding can satisfy them one by one. Its appearance undoubtedly adds a rare touch of color to our auction today!"

After saying that, Wan Tiancheng waved his hand again, and a stream of spiritual power was injected into the Qingmu Ding. Suddenly, the cauldron shone brightly, and the surrounding wood spiritual energy seemed to be drawn by it, gathering into streams of emerald green spiritual power, slowly rotating around the Qingmu Ding, forming a refreshing spectacle.

At this moment, all the monks in the entire auction hall stared with bated breath, deeply attracted by the supreme power and unique charm displayed by the Qingmu Ding.

"Qingmu Ding, starting price: one million high-grade spirit stones, each bid must not be less than 200 high-grade spirit stones!" Wan Tiancheng announced loudly: "Auction time limit: interest, the auction officially begins now!"

As Wan Tiancheng finished speaking, the auction atmosphere instantly became heated.

The prices displayed in the competition column began to change dramatically. The starting price of one million soared to three million high-quality spirit stones in the blink of an eye. The Void-refining cultivators in the auction hall could only stare blankly.

"It's really eye-opening! It's worthy of being a Taoist weapon, something we are not worthy of owning!" An elderly Lianxu monk stroked his beard, with envy and relief in his eyes, and said with emotion.

"Master Li's craftsmanship is extraordinary. This Qingmu Ding Taoist artifact can only be obtained by those with great opportunity and great fortune. Although we cannot obtain it, being able to witness its charm with our own eyes is also a good story on the road of cultivation!" A female cultivator in green said with sincere envy.

"Indeed! Treasures like this are rare in the world. Seeing it today is enough to make people remember it for the rest of their lives!" An old man with white hair and beard followed.

……

In the auction hall, all the Void Refining monks were filled with emotion and felt powerless in the face of the fierce bidding before them.

The bidding continued, and the price was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, constantly breaking everyone's imagination. Every time the bid record was broken, it was accompanied by a burst of exclamations and discussions.

The Qingmu Ding floating above the auction table was like a goddess high above, quietly accepting the admiration and pursuit of all the monks.

"The bidding deadline is up. Congratulations to bidder No. 7 for winning the Qingmu Ding with million high-quality spirit stones!" Wan Tiancheng's face was filled with a satisfied smile. He lightly knocked the auction hammer, and the teleportation array flashed with spiritual light, taking the Qingmu Ding away.

Wan Tiancheng looked at all the monks in the hall and announced loudly: "Fellow Daoists, the ownership of the Qingmu Ding has been settled. For those Daoists who didn't take pictures of the Daoist weapons, don't be disappointed! Today's event has just begun. Next, we will present two equally powerful Daoist weapons, each of which has extraordinary power and unique features."

As soon as these words were spoken, the auction hall, which had been a little quiet due to the end of the Qingmu Ding auction, became lively again, and the eyes of the monks were rekindled, as if everything that had just happened was just a prelude and the real feast was about to begin.

"The next lot is the 'Netherworld Soul-Breaking Halberd' that my auction house has treasured for a long time. This halberd is a sixth-grade top-grade spiritual treasure, forged with deep-sea cold iron and Netherworld earth fire. A faint black and purple flame flows on the halberd. It is not only extremely sharp, but also contains the power of the Netherworld. It can shock the mind and has a great inhibitory effect on soul-like creatures and monks who cultivate spiritual power. In battle, once it is used, it is enough to make the enemy's soul fly away and lose the will to fight." Wan Tiancheng announced loudly.

As soon as the words fell, the teleportation array flashed, and a black weapon appeared on the auction table. Suddenly, a cold and powerful aura spread, causing many cultivators to shudder involuntarily. "Netherworld Soul-Breaking Halberd, starting price: 100 high-grade spirit stones, each bid increase must not be less than , bidding time limit: breaths."

Following Wan Tiancheng's announcement, the numbers on the bidding column began to jump wildly again, and the monks showed their strong interest in this unique Taoist weapon.

After the ownership of the Netherworld Soul-Breaking Halberd was settled, Wan Tiancheng did not give everyone too much time to breathe. He took a deep breath, swept his eyes across the audience, and his tone was a little more mysterious and expectant: "And the next one is the next suppressed spiritual treasure of this auction - the 'Six-turn Linglong Tower'! This tower is not only a sixth-level defensive spiritual treasure with amazing defensive power, but also contains the universe, a self-contained space that can store everything, and can be transformed into a six-layer defense shield at a critical moment to resist all external attacks. More importantly, the tower contains the laws of heaven and earth, and has the effect of gathering spirits. It has a great auxiliary effect on cultivation, and can even help cultivators stabilize their minds and reduce the risk of going astray when breaking through bottlenecks. It can be said that owning a Six-turn Linglong Tower is equivalent to owning a portable cultivation holy land."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire auction hall was in an uproar. The eyes of the monks were filled with enthusiasm and desire. They knew that if they missed such a treasure, they would probably never encounter it again in their lifetime.

"Sixth rank exquisite tower, starting price: 150 high-grade spirit stones, each bid increment must not be less than , bidding time limit: minutes!"

Wan Tiancheng's voice echoed in the roaring auction hall, and this time the bidding reached an unprecedented level of intensity. Every cultivator tried his best just to own this legendary treasure.

……

Time flies. The auction at Wanbao Pavilion lasted for three days. Various high-level spiritual objects, spiritual treasures, and spiritual pills appeared on the auction table one after another. Each one triggered the monks' fanatical pursuit and fierce bidding.

In the auction hall, the atmosphere was sometimes suffocatingly tense, and sometimes erupted in cheers and exclamations due to the appearance of a rare treasure.

As the auction of the last Taoist Suppression Artifact - the Bagua Qiankun Mirror came to an end, Wan Tiancheng slowly stood up with a smile of satisfaction and relief on his face. He looked around, his eyes filled with pride for the success of this event.

"My fellow Taoists and seniors, the once-in-a-century auction of Wanbao Pavilion has come to a successful conclusion. Thank you all for your participation and support. I hope that you will all achieve what you wish for and achieve extraordinary success in your future cultivation."

After he finished speaking, the formation in the auction hall glowed brightly, and the information of the treasures won by each monk in the auction was quietly recorded in the tokens of all the monks. They stood up one after another, some with proud faces, some with a little regret, but all of them left the auction hall one after another with longing and expectation for the future, preparing to hand over the spiritual objects to the Wanbao Pavilion.

Not long after, Wan Renlang, dressed in gorgeous brocade robes and with a warm smile on his face, walked into VIP Room No. 1 again.

"Master Li, the spiritual objects you bought this time and the success of this auction are all thanks to the Taoist soldiers you refined!" Wan Renlang handed Li Mu a storage ring, his words filled with sincere respect and gratitude.

The three Taoist weapons commissioned by Li Mu to refine and the two Taoist weapons he commissioned to be auctioned were a highlight of this auction, attracting the attention and pursuit of many high-level cultivators and creating a transaction record of Wanbao Pavilion spanning thousands of years of auctions.

Hearing this, Li Mu smiled slightly, took the storage ring, and waved his hand modestly: "Manager Wan, you are too kind. Wanbao Pavilion's connections and organizational ability are the key to the success of this auction. I am just the icing on the cake."

As he spoke, Li Mu put his spiritual consciousness into the storage ring and confirmed the dozen or so high-level spiritual materials inside: Void Spirit Crystal, Nether Cloud Gold, Red Flame Golden Tung, Glazed Silver Sand,..., all of which were in it. It can be said that participating in this auction was extremely rewarding.

The two smiled at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became more harmonious.

Wan Renlang then changed the subject and officially started the handover. He took out a storage ring and said, "Master Li, the two Taoist instruments, spiritual objects, and spiritual pills you auctioned, as well as the commission from the three Taoist instruments this time, minus the spiritual objects you purchased, there is still 18 million high-quality spiritual stones left, all of which will be placed in this special storage ring."

As he spoke, Wan Renlang took out an exquisitely carved storage ring and a jade slip of account book from his sleeve and handed them to Li Mu for verification.

Li Mu took the storage ring and the account book jade slip and checked them carefully with his spiritual sense. He saw that the account book jade slip had detailed records, and every transaction was clear, including the transaction price of the two Taoist weapons he commissioned to auction, the cost of the spiritual objects he bought, and the commission he deserved as a weapon refiner, without any omissions.

After confirming that everything was correct, Li Mu nodded gently, and once again expressed his appreciation for the rigor and professionalism of Wanbao Pavilion: "Manager Wan is indeed meticulous, Li admires him."

"It's my duty!" Wan Renlang smiled slightly, turned to look at Sword Master Feng and Sword Master Chen, and took out the storage rings one after another to hand over to the two of them.

The handover process was also smooth. Sword Master Feng and Sword Master Chen each took their own storage rings. After checking with their spiritual sense, they both showed satisfied smiles on their faces. At this auction, they witnessed the emergence of many rare treasures and could not help but take down many precious cultivation resources.

"Manager Wan, this cooperation is extremely pleasant. We deeply admire the credibility and efficiency of Wanbao Pavilion." Sword Master Feng spoke first, his words full of sincerity.

Master Chen Jian also nodded in agreement: "That's right, Chief Wan, I hope we can have more opportunities for cooperation like this in the future."

Upon hearing this, Wan Renlang's face immediately broke into smiles, knowing full well what it meant for Wanbao Pavilion to be recognized by the two sword masters of Xuantian Sword Sect.

"Sword Master Feng, Sword Master Chen, your satisfaction is the greatest affirmation to us. Wanbao Pavilion has always been committed to providing the best quality cultivation resources to the majority of cultivators. If you need anything, Wanbao Pavilion will do its best." Wan Renlang expressed his sincere gratitude.

Soon, after finishing his words, Wan Renlang personally led the three people out of the VIP room, through the beautifully decorated corridor, and warmly saw them off.

"Master Li, Sword Master Feng, Sword Master Chen, thank you all for coming and supporting us. I look forward to more wonderful cooperation when we meet again next time." Wan Renlang bowed and said goodbye to the three of them.

Li Mu, Sword Master Feng and Sword Master Chen nodded lightly in return, then flew up on their swords. Their figures turned into black dots and disappeared in the sky above Wanbao City in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, dark shadows from Wanbao City rose into the sky, as if several forces were chasing the three people.

Upon noticing this, Wan Renlang sighed helplessly, then quickly arranged his actions and took action. (End of this chapter)
