I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Half a day later.

With the sound of a bell, the auction started on time.

The first round of auction items were all displayed under the smiling introduction of the auctioneer. They were all rare treasures rarely seen near Dingyuan Fairy City.

Among them was the fifth-stage late-stage refined corpse of the "Jia Yin Clan" that Wei Tu had hoped for decades ago.

But at this moment, Wei Tu's spiritual consciousness only stayed on the corpse for a short while and then he withdrew his gaze.

He looked totally uninterested!

It’s nothing, things are different now.

An ordinary cultivator in the early stage of the Void Refining Realm would have difficulty lasting a few rounds in his hands, so how could he care about a "fake" sixth-level refined corpse that had been upgraded by the "Qianjun Spirit Doll".

In addition, it was also related to the fact that he lost three "Qianjun Lingui" in the "Yunwu Swamp".

——Twenty years ago, in order to ambush Xu Qingxuan and the other two, he used the three sixth-level refined corpses, led by the Toad Water Yin Corpse, as the vanguard and set up a large formation...

But even after the death of the white-haired evil cultivator, he did not take back his sixth-level refined corpse and Qianjun spirit doll from his belongings.

It was most likely devoured by the white-haired evil cultivator as a source of spiritual power to restore his strength.

Because of this, the number of "Qianjun Spirit Dolls" in his hands quickly dropped from five to only two...

With this number, it is obviously difficult to set up another corpse refining formation.

"So, either we have to improve the strength of the individual corpses controlled by the Qianjun Spirit Doll... or we have to find Miss Shui and ask her to buy the Qianjun Spirit Doll from her to complete the Three Talents Formation..."

Wei Tu's eyes flickered as he looked at the Jiayin clan's refined corpse on the auction table and thought to himself.

……

The first round of auctions will end soon.

The treasures that appeared only attracted the scramble of a small number of Void-Refining cultivators present.

The real sixth-level spiritual objects and the finale treasures are all concentrated in the second round of auctions.

but--

Just as the halftime break arrived.

The female auctioneer who had just walked out of the hall seemed to have received some news. Her face suddenly showed a look of surprise. She waved her sleeves, returned to the auction table, and said in an inciting tone:

"I think many seniors from the Refining Void class came to this auction because they got the news about the Xuan Yang Fruit, and they don't care much about the other treasures being auctioned at my company..."

"I, originally, had the same idea as you seniors."

"But who would have thought that just now, my company was lucky enough to obtain a treasure, and with the permission of the shopkeeper, we put this treasure in this auction as the finale treasure alongside the Xuanyang Fruit."

"This treasure is much more precious than the Xuanyang Fruit."

As soon as these words fell.

It immediately attracted the attention of all the monks present.

The dull auction immediately became extremely lively.

There was a lot of discussion in the lobby on the first floor.

The spiritual consciousness of the Great Venerable Lianxu in the box on the second floor kept intersecting and spying on the surroundings one by one, trying to find the shadow of this treasure first.

But soon, with the sound of a cold snort, the refining consciousness that extended from the box on the second floor shrank back again as if it had encountered some great terror.

"Half a step to fusion?" Wei Tu's eyes narrowed as he looked at an old man in a red robe who suddenly appeared on the auction table, a rare solemnity revealed on his face.

Half-step fusion is a level stronger than the peak-level cultivator of the refining void realm. It is a cultivator of the refining void realm who failed to advance to the fusion realm.

In a sense, it is rarer than the fusion cultivators, because after failing to advance to the fusion, there are very few cultivators who can survive without being backlashed by the laws of heaven and earth.

Although large trading companies like Xingyun Trading Company have a fusion background... but most likely, they do not have the strength to invite a fusion master to serve as a worshiper or to look after the business.

Half-step fusion means that one is the strongest among medium-sized forces like Xingyun Trading Company.

Today, this repair comes to the auction to "sit down" -

It is clear that this treasure is extraordinary and extraordinary.

"Mrs. Fei, don't keep us in suspense. What exactly is this treasure that is worthy of such a display by Xingyun Company?"

After a brief silence, in the box on the second floor, a Void Refining cultivator could no longer contain his impatience and started asking questions.

"Yes, Madam Fei, what is this treasure? Don't keep us in suspense. Just tell us directly."

The cultivators were filled with emotion.

Upon hearing this, the female auctioneer named Madam Fei first covered her mouth and chuckled, and then said coquettishly: "With all the seniors of Lianxu here, how dare I keep it a secret. Moreover, this treasure came so suddenly, I think... you fellow Taoists did not prepare enough spirit crystals in time. For this reason alone, I will also tell you the origin of this treasure, so that you can take the opportunity to raise spirit crystals..."

"Can we still raise spiritual crystals?"

Upon hearing this, the cultivators became even more excited.

Although the "Xuan Yang Fruit" is valuable, the value of this treasure is not sky-high. Many late-stage refining cultivators in the venue have the ability to buy two spiritual objects of the same value as the "Xuan Yang Fruit" in one go.

Nowadays, the value of this treasure requires the Void Refining Monks present to "raise spirit crystals" first. It is conceivable how priceless and rare it is.

Seeing that the emotions of the monks present were completely aroused.

Mrs. Fei did not keep the secret any longer. She twisted her hips and walked to the red-robed old man beside her. She took a spirit box with a brilliant purple light from his hand.

Afterwards, the woman pulled out the box and revealed the original appearance of the treasures inside the spiritual box to the monks present one by one.

"This is……"

The cultivators below the stage were startled as they looked at the three-inch long, rusty bone stick that appeared from the spirit box.

“The Locking Pillar! It’s the Locking Pillar!”

Just as Wei Tu was carefully identifying what this spiritual object was, Xu Qingxuan, who was sitting next to him, could not help but exclaimed and told the name of this treasure.

"The Life-Locking Pillar is actually this treasure?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Tu's gaze towards the short stick spirit creature suddenly changed.

Without it.

This treasure is rare in the world of cultivation. It is a high-level spiritual object that can change the qualifications and physique of a cultivator.

In the world of cultivating immortals, rare treasures that can improve the roots and qualifications of cultivators are all very rare without exception.

Spiritual objects that can improve the qualifications of cultivators in the Qi Refining and Foundation Building stages may be easy to find, but... that's because one is already standing from the perspective of a powerful cultivator in the Spirit Transformation and Void Refining stages.

Correspondingly, spiritual objects that can improve the constitution and aptitude of cultivators in the Spiritual Transformation and Void Refining stages are basically difficult to come across.

And, the most crucial point is.

The "Locking Posture" is not about improving the cultivator's roots and qualifications, but about "changing" them!
This treasure is also a rare evil object in the world of cultivation.

It was obtained by the evil cultivators.

Each "Life-Locking Stake" contains the innate qualities of the cultivator being refined during his lifetime.

Of course, it is difficult for a cultivator who refines the "Life-Locking Pillar" to completely inherit the qualifications of the cultivator inside the pillar during his lifetime, but... just inheriting 50% to 60% is a great improvement for cultivators with ordinary roots.

However, in addition to improving root bone qualifications.

The "Locking Pillar" has another use.

——Complete the foundation of the cultivator and increase the probability of breaking through the fusion realm.

The Five Essence Pill allows cultivators to possess an "acquired five-element Dao body" so that when they break through the fusion realm, they can successfully comprehend the five-element law and break through smoothly...

The "Locking Life Post" is a method that allows cultivators to complete their foundation and possess the "Five Elements Dao Body" without relying on the Five Essence Pill.

After all, any cultivator who breaks through the realm of refining emptiness will more or less realize the "domain" of the five elements.

In other words.

As long as the cultivator refines enough "Life-Locking Pillars", there is a certain chance that he can reverse himself into an inferior version of the Five Elements Dao Body without swallowing the Five Essence Pill...

"Hasn't the evil art of refining the 'Life-Locking Stake' been banned and strictly prohibited by the three great clans in the spirit world? How come Xingyun Commercial Bank has this Life-Locking Stake?"

Suddenly, there was a lot of discussion.

The cultivators suppressed their previous excitement and looked at the Life-Locking Pillar with fear in their eyes.

The key to breaking through the fusion realm is to successfully master a law when breaking through the realm - most of the cultivators in the spiritual world choose the Five Essence Pills and the Five Elements Law, because this law is the easiest to comprehend.

But among the three great clans...

This practice no longer applies.

The three hegemonic clans have high-level bloodlines, and almost all of their members are equivalent to "descendants of the true spirit", with a "bloodline ceiling" that allows them to break through the fusion realm without relying on the "Five Essence Pill".

Therefore, after the birth of the evil art of "Locking Life Post", the cultivators who were most refined were the members of the three major hegemonic clans.

For this reason——

In the four continents of the spiritual world, the "Locking Life Stake" is a completely forbidden technique that is strictly prohibited for cultivators to use.

"What you fellow Taoists said is true. The Locking Life Pillar is banned by the three major hegemonic clans, but... the 'Locking Life Pillar' in my company is just a replica made by a master..."

"It's not the life-locking stake that is forbidden by the spirit world."

"Its effect is similar to that of the Locking Pillar, but its medicinal effect is much worse."

Mrs. Fei was not at all nervous and smiled faintly.

"Imitation?" Wei Tu raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

A magical object that looks like a "Lock Life Pillar" and works just like a "Lock Life Pillar" when used. Who would believe it to be a replica?

This statement was just an excuse made by Xingyun Commercial Bank to avoid giving others any chance to criticize it.

However, he is not a righteous man, so there is no need for him to care too much about this little darkness in the cultivation world.

Moreover, what comes first in the spiritual world is racial justice, not the struggle between good and evil, or good and evil.

For example, Jiang Lingzi is also good at using the evil art of refining elixirs?
As long as you are loyal to your race, no one will care if you abuse some evil magic, no matter which force you belong to.

The three great clans strictly forbid the "Lock Life Stake" because this evil magic is not very friendly to their clans with too high a "bloodline limit"...

“Besides, if I can get this thing, it will be of great use to me…” Wei Tu subconsciously stroked the spirit beast bag on his waist and thought.

The qualifications of the Sky-Splitting Eagle have always been a headache for him.

If he could have the help of the "Life-Locking Pillar" and with the help of his resources, the Sky-Splitting Eagle's cultivation speed would be greatly improved.

"Yes, Madam Fei is right. Although this thing is similar to the Suosheng Pillar, based on my many years of experience in alchemy, this thing is indeed just a replica of the Suosheng Pillar..."

An old voice came from the box on the second floor, speaking in support of Madam Fei and the Xingyun Chamber of Commerce behind her.

"It's Master Bu Dan..."

"He is a sixth-rank high-grade alchemist, so what he said should not be false."

A group of monks murmured to themselves, seeming to believe and not believe.

A powerful Void Refining expert who can see, like Wei Tu, that this "Life-Locking Pillar" is not a fake will not expose the matter on the spot, offend powerful experts of the same level, and lose the opportunity to bid for the item.

The dispute among the practitioners was thus settled.

Madam Fei bowed her head and bowed in the direction of the box where Master Bu Dan was. Then, with a faint smile on her face, she introduced the quality and efficacy of this "Lock Life Pillar".

"A sixth-grade, earth-attributed life-locking pile..."

Wei Tu raised his eyebrows slightly and lost some interest.

The Sky-Splitting Eagle mainly cultivates the wind attribute, and its awakened magical power is also in the space attribute. Although refining the "Life-Locking Stake" of the earth attribute is beneficial to it, it is not too powerful.

However, when these words fell into the ears of other Void Refining cultivators, especially those like Chief Chai and Great Master Tiesha who had the idea of ​​breaking through the Fusion Realm, the meaning was very different.

It was obvious to the naked eye that the two of them were jealous.

"This company allows all of you present here to spend two days to raise spiritual crystals to bid for this item."

Mrs. Fei said again.

As soon as these words fell.

In an instant, rays of light shot out from the door of the second-floor box and rushed out of the auction venue.

Including the many Divine Transformation monks in the lobby on the first floor...

At this moment, his eyes were shining with surprise. He quietly left the auction and reported the matter to his forces.

Xu Qingxuan, who was in the same box with Wei Tu, was tempted, but after thinking for a moment, she shook her head and did not leave.

This is not because she is aloof.

But as a "foreign guest", the wealth she possesses is difficult to compare with local forces such as the Demon Cloud Sect.

Even if you want to fight for this "life-locking stake", it will be difficult to achieve your wish.

Instead of this, it is better not to fight at the beginning.

……

After a brief period of "coldness".

In less than half a day, the auction venue was once again swarmed with many Void-Refining cultivators.

However, compared with before, there are many more unfamiliar faces.

The only thing that made Wei Tu happy was.

It seemed that in order to collect enough spirit crystals to buy the "Life-Locking Pillar", these Void-Refining Monks all took out their most hidden "treasures" and put them in this auction to bid and exchange for living money.

With his "Hun'e Evil Eye", he spied on a virtual cultivator from the Jiayin clan, and took out two "sixth-level refined corpses" from his clan.

This meant that he instantly had a treasure worth snatching at the auction!
One day later.

There were once again some unfamiliar faces in the venue.

However, these faces are very familiar to the satellite images.

Because these Void-Refining Monks are human monks from the Divine Fire Immortal Realm.

The leader was the master of Guanghong Cave, an old acquaintance of his.

Of course, in order to walk in this alien fairy city, Guanghong Cave Master and others also disguised themselves and came in different looks.

"I don't think things will be peaceful after this auction ends."

Xu Qingxuan's beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and she looked eager to try.

“It’s hard to be peaceful.”

Wei Tu also nodded to show his approval.

Everyone with a discerning eye knows that after the auction, the most worth-grabbing treasures are not only the "Lock Life Pillar" and "Xuan Yang Fruit", but also the evil technique that can be used to refine the "Lock Life Pillar"...

Compared to these disposable spiritual objects...

The evil magic of "Locking the Life Pillar" is an endless source of treasure.

It is almost equivalent to a "shortcut" to break through the fusion realm.

"Perhaps, there is also a chance for me to benefit."

Wei Tu looked at the monks in the field, and his mind, like Xu Qingxuan's, gradually became unstable. (End of this chapter)
