I am a late bloomer in the world of cultivating immortals

Two days later.

The second round of auction will resume after the intermission.

Different from two days ago, there were only a few Jindan cultivators in the venue at this moment, and the empty seats in the first-floor hall were occupied by the Lianxu Great Masters from various major forces who came from afar.

In terms of numbers, there were nearly 200 Void Refining cultivators gathered in the field, and cultivators in the late Void Refining stage accounted for as much as 30%.

It can be said to be an unprecedented event in the Wanlin Lakes area.

The items for auction in the venue were even better than the "Inner City Trade Fair" that Wei Tu participated in, because of the "sponsorship" of the Void Refining monks present. The levels and varieties of the items were higher, and the quality was richer. After all, the latter was the home ground of the Fusion Monks, and the sale of sixth-level spiritual objects was just a byproduct.

as time flows.

Soon, it was time for the auction of the sixth-level refined corpse of the Jiayin clan, which Wei Tu cared about.

"I think all of you seniors are aware that the Jiayin tribe has a good reputation for selling refined corpses on the Lei Ze continent."

"However, the highest grade of the Jiayin Clan's refined corpses sold in the outside world is often only the fifth-grade upper grade. It is difficult to find the sixth-grade refined corpses that you seniors value and care about."

"This time, by chance, my company was able to purchase these two sixth-level refined corpses from the Jiayin tribe. Moreover, according to the appraisal of our company's treasure appraisers, these two sixth-level refined corpses are of perfect quality and have the potential to advance to the next level..."

Mrs. Fei, as always, enthusiastically introduced to the monks present the two new sixth-level refined corpses that had appeared on the auction table.

The words fell.

The monks present immediately stared at the items being auctioned with envy.

These two refined corpses are of different quality.

One is a sixth-order low-grade refined corpse with cold attributes.

One is a sixth-order medium-grade refined corpse with fire attribute.

Whether it is the advancement of "sixth-grade lower grade" to "sixth-grade middle grade" or the advancement of "sixth-grade middle grade" to "sixth-grade upper grade", it is a considerable combat power that they will have in the future!

"The first sixth-rank low-grade refined corpse - Youli Yin Corpse, the starting price is thirty thousand spirit crystals."

Mrs. Fei said in a soft voice, quoting a low price.

In an instant, the place was in an uproar as bids for this sixth-grade, low-grade refined corpse began to be auctioned.

However, unsurprisingly, the cultivators bidding on the spot were all in the early stage of the Void Refinement Realm, with few cultivators in the middle or late stages of the Void Refinement Realm.

A sixth-order low-grade refined corpse was still a bit low-level and useless to them.

After half a stick of incense.

As the cultivators raised their prices, the price of "Youli Yin Corpse" reached 270,000 spirit crystals.

At this time, the bidding voices began to become few and far between, with only three or five people left bidding.

"Three hundred and fifty thousand spirit crystals!"

Suddenly, a light voice suddenly sounded in the auction hall, raising the high price of "270,000 Spirit Crystals" to "80,000 Spirit Crystals"!
Such a generous bid was unprecedented among the cultivators bidding for the "Youli Yin Corpse".

The words fell.

The atmosphere in the conference hall suddenly fell into dead silence.

No cultivator continued to raise the price, because this price had already reached the high price of a sixth-grade low-grade refined corpse, and included a considerable premium.

"In previous auctions, the highest price for a sixth-level low-grade refined corpse was only 330,000 spirit crystals. Who is this Void Refining cultivator? How could he waste his wealth like this..."

In private, some monks secretly laughed and mocked.

Because, according to convention, as long as you wait patiently in Dingyuan Immortal City for one or two hundred years, you will have the opportunity to buy a sixth-level refined corpse at a low price and save a lot of spirit crystals. There is no need to bear this high floating price at this moment.

But soon, the laughter in their hearts became difficult to express, and they immediately fell silent.

——At the auction of the second sixth-rank medium-grade refined corpse “Melting Fire Yang Corpse”, this cultivator outshined all the other cultivators and directly shouted out a high price of twenty-six medium-grade spirit crystals!
A hammer!
Twenty-six middle-grade spirit crystals might not be considered as important in the eyes of some late-stage Void Refinement masters present, but... they are definitely something that those of them in the early stage of Void Refinement cannot obtain.

"Who is this cultivator? Why did he bid for both a low-grade sixth-order refined corpse and a mid-grade sixth-order refined corpse? And he got them both at a premium price?"

The cultivators frowned, feeling confused.

"Could it be a senior who is in the late stage of the Void Refining Stage? Is he buying these two sixth-level refined corpses just for fun?"

In their hearts, they comforted themselves.

But Xu Qingxuan, who was in the same box with Wei Tu, didn't think so. She raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at her companion with a slightly strange look who had just made two consecutive moves and defeated two sixth-level refined corpses.

After all, if she remembered correctly, Wei Tu's realm was only the "early stage of refining emptiness".

Although his strength is not bad, how can he have such a powerful fortune? Is he so wealthy that he can act without hesitation?

Little did she know that at the inner city trade fair, Wei Tu’s moves were far more powerful than today’s.

Compared with that time, what Wei Tu spent this time is considered “small money”.

After the payment and goods are settled.

Soon, Wei Tu, who was in the box, received two sixth-level refined corpses delivered by Xingyun Trading Company.

Next, Wei Tu didn't care at all. In front of Xu Qingxuan, he took out the two remaining "Qianjun Spirit Dolls" on him and started to refine the two sixth-level corpses, "Youli Yin Corpse" and "Ronghuo Yang Corpse".

The Qianjun Spirit Doll is the core hub for controlling corpse refining.

As long as this item is injected into the body of a cultivator, even if the corpse has not been refined before, it will be completely mastered by the cultivator immediately and quickly form combat power...

Xu Qingxuan, who was also a connoisseur of valuables, recognized on the spot that the spiritual object that Wei Tu had injected into the two corpses was the legendary "Qianjun Spirit Doll".

"Qianjun Spirit Doll?" Xu Qingxuan was surprised and doubtful, and his expression changed slightly.

The Qianjun Spirit Doll is much more valuable than the two sixth-level refined corpses in Wei Tu's hands.

This item is made of the extremely rare treasure in the spiritual world - "Dingming Purple Crystal". It is the painstaking work of every seventh-level puppeteer and weapon refiner, and it is difficult to find one in the outside world.

But Wei Tu has two of them in his hand!
"Could it be that the information I got is false? Wei Tu is the illegitimate son of a powerful human? After ascending to heaven, he returned to the Holy Emperor Domain to recognize his ancestors and relatives?" Xu Qingxuan secretly complained in her heart and came up with a fact that seemed absurd, but she thought it was the most likely.

……

After a small episode of sixth-level corpse refining.

Afterwards, there were auctions of some precious spiritual objects such as thousand-year-old elixirs and sixth-level spiritual treasures. The highlight finally came to the last two treasures - the "Xuan Yang Fruit" and the "Lousing Pillar".

The Xuan Yang Fruit was already confirmed to be the finale treasure at the auction.

However, due to the matter of the "Locking Life Pillar", too many powerful Void-Refining experts from various forces flocked to the auction venue, so there was a small variable when determining the final candidate for this item.

This treasure was not bought by either "Master Chai" or "Great Master Tiesha", but instead fell into the hands of a female cultivator wearing a golden tiger mask who was sitting in the auction hall.

This female cultivator is at the "peak of refining emptiness" realm, and her origins remain a mystery - her aura is extremely strange, as if she is deliberately disguising herself, or she doesn't seem to be a refining emptiness cultivator near the Wanlin Lakes.

At the moment the auction results were announced.

In an instant, the eyes of all the cultivators in the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm in the field were focused on the golden-faced female cultivator. They were filled with malice and even some murderous intent.

"It's her!" Suddenly, Xu Qingxuan, who was frowning and thinking, seemed to have thought of something and exclaimed.

"Does Fairy Xu know this female cultivator?"

Wei Tu was not surprised and asked directly.

The Sky Fox Clan is a famous "servant clan" in the spirit world. They are good at manipulating others and have marriages with all the powerful clans. Xu Qingxuan is the "best" among the Sky Fox Clan. He is extremely intelligent and knows how to take advantage of opportunities to trade between the two continents...

Therefore, in his opinion, it was normal for this woman to know some information about the golden-faced female cultivator.

"Of course I know her!" Xu Qingxuan laughed, with a hint of coldness on his face, and said, "This female cultivator is called Da Yuan Shuang, a direct descendant cultivator of the Four-armed Ape Clan. She is very famous in the Wind and Fire Continent."

"The Four-Armed Ape Tribe? The Great Abyss Frost?" Upon hearing this, Wei Tu raised his eyebrows slightly.

The relationship between the four-armed apes and humans is not friendly.

This tribe is the "ally" of the Mist Ghost tribe, and is also a powerful tribe that secretly supports the Mist Ghost tribe to replace the human race and become one of the "Ten Spirit Tribes".

Pei Hong’s biological mother, Princess Dayuan, is also the legitimate daughter of this clan and has the same surname as this golden-faced female cultivator.

"It's interesting to talk about it. Rumor has it that this Da Yuan Shuang was originally chosen by the Four-Armed Ape Clan to be the fiancée of the young chief of the Mist Ghost Clan. Unfortunately, the young chief of the Mist Ghost Clan was not up to the task and his foundation was damaged. He was far inferior to this Da Yuan Shuang... so Da Yuan Shuang unilaterally broke off the engagement."

Xu Qingxuan said again.

"Pei Hong's ex-fiancée?"

After hearing this, Wei Tu became even more interested.

If he remembered correctly, Xue Qiongyu was now Pei Hong's fiancée.

In other words, Pei Hong got engaged to Xue Qiongyu only after Da Yuanshuang unilaterally broke off the engagement.

However, judging from the fact that this woman was willing to offend all the cultivators and bid for the "Xuan Yang Fruit", it seemed that the breakup with Pei Hong had also caused some harm to her...

Otherwise, according to this woman's qualifications and background, the four-armed ape tribe should have prepared for her the "Five Essence Pill", a spiritual object that can break through the ranks, long ago, and there would be no need for her to "show up in public".

"Then how did this Da Yuan Shuang... become enemies with Fairy Xu?" Wei Tu raised his eyebrows and asked again. He clearly saw that Xu Qingxuan was hinting at dissatisfaction when he mentioned this woman.

"This is... a long story..."

Xu Qingxuan's tone was vague, and it seemed that he did not intend to discuss the matter with Wei Tu in detail.

Seeing this, Wei Tu wisely stopped and continued to leisurely spy on the secret confrontation between the Void Refining Monks at the auction venue.

He obviously saw it.

"Master Chai", who was disguised as a Divine Transformation cultivator, fixed his gaze on Da Yuanshuang for a moment and secretly made a plan.

Although he did not see Tiesha Dazun and others who were in the box on the second floor at the first time, it was foreseeable that they would be dissatisfied with Dayuanshuang who suddenly appeared.

"Next, let's move on to the last item in this auction. This item is also the reason why all of you seniors came here today..."

The dead silence was broken by Madam Fei, who seemed not to notice the expressions of the cultivators below the stage. She smiled and opened the spirit box in her hand again, revealing the "Life-Locking Pillar" hidden inside.

For an instant.

The eyes and consciousness of all the cultivators converged and focused on this three-inch-sized, seemingly ordinary "Life-Locking Stake".

"The starting price for this treasure is... thirty mid-grade spirit crystals!"

When the voice sounded again, the breathing of the cultivators quickened. Without thinking, they all raised the price and competed for this precious treasure.

However, unlike the previous fight for the "Xuan Yang Fruit", Da Yuan Shuang seemed to have no interest in the Locking Life Pillar.

Moreover, this woman seemed to realize that her fight for the "Xuan Yang Fruit" had also created a "deadly feud" with some of the powerful people present.

So - when the bidding for the "Lock Life Pile" just started, this woman stood up in the auction hall and left the auction venue before everyone else.

"Chase!"

Seeing this scene, some late-stage Void Refinement cultivators, who knew that their financial resources were far from enough to compete with other powerful ones for the Locking Life Pillar, also stood up and followed Dayuanshuang.

"This woman is very powerful, and we cannot handle her."

Xu Qingxuan shook his head and warned Wei Tu.

Although Wei Tu was interested in the "Xuan Yang Fruit", he also knew his own limitations - he knew that with his strength, he could at most pick up something in a melee, but it would be difficult for him to seize the treasure.

——Looking for opportunities to exploit and knowing oneself are not contradictory.

He nodded, agreed with Xu Qingxuan's opinion, and sat quietly in the box.

"Master Chai has caught up?" Wei Tu looked back at Master Chai who was hiding in the hall, and immediately discovered that the "tail" following behind Da Yuanshuang also included this Xiu.

His eyes flashed slightly, and he immediately became expectant.

——Ordinary Lianxu can hardly be a match for Dayuanshuang, but Master Chai is very different. He is a reincarnation, and after nearly a hundred years of training... his strength is estimated to be not much different from Dayuanshuang, and he may even be better.

"Thirty-three mid-grade spirit crystals."

Deputy Envoy Suo in the box, took over the bidding on behalf of Chief Chai, and competed with all the cultivators present for the "Locking Life Stake".

But soon, as a group of powerful late-stage Void Refinement masters spoke up, his voice gradually became silent.

"Seventy-eight mid-grade spirit crystals."

"Ninety-nine medium-grade spiritual crystals..."

The bidding intensified.

After a moment, the bidding for the "Life-Locking Stake" ended, and it was snatched away by a powerful cultivator at the peak of the Refining Void realm from the Fu Jiao clan at a high price of 120 medium-grade spirit crystals.

The auction has now ended.

The next moment, the gazes of all the powerful Void Refining Masters were focused on this Void Refining Master of the Fu Jiao Clan, just as they were focused on Da Yuan Shuang before.

"Do you want to attack my Fu Jiao clan?"

"Just now, I have sent out a letter, asking the combined might of my clan to come here!"

The powerful cultivator from the Fu Jiao clan looked around at all the cultivators present and said these words in a cold voice.

As soon as these words fell.

There was a sudden hint of fear in the eyes of the cultivators, and they immediately withdrew their gazes, not daring to spy any further.

Seeing this, the powerful refining cultivator of the Fu Jiao clan was quite proud. After taking the "Life-Locking Stake" from Madam Fei, he slowly left the auction venue in front of all the cultivators.

"Mrs. Fei, please tell me where this lock was stolen from? Or who consigned it to you?"

A hoarse voice suddenly sounded in the venue, stopping Mrs. Fei who was about to leave the auction table.

As soon as these words were spoken, all the cultivators present immediately listened attentively.

At this time, they did not follow Lianxu from the Fujiao clan to leave the auction venue - their purpose was to seize the evil magic to make the "Locking Life Pillar". After all, the value of this evil magic far exceeds that of a finished "Locking Life Pillar" and it is the real golden goose that lays eggs.

"This senior's question has stumped me."

"I am just an auctioneer at Xingyun Commercial Bank, responsible for auctioning the Lock Life Pile. I really don't know the origin of this treasure."

Madam Fei bowed and responded with a smile, her answer was flawless.

While speaking, the red-robed old man next to Madam Fei narrowed his eyes and released the pressure of a "half-fused" powerful being, shocking all the cultivators present.

"It's just half-fusion, Brother Hong, do you think we cultivators will be afraid?"

"At this moment, Xingyun Company can still preserve its family business if it reveals this secret. If it is too late... it will be fine for us, but when the combined cultivators of those powerful forces take action, I don't know if your Xingyun Company can continue to exist!"

Inside the venue, a cultivator in the late Void Refinement stage sneered and responded in a cold voice.

Hearing this, the cultivators who had been tempted to retreat by the red-robed old man's pressure suddenly felt like they had found their backbone, and immediately released their own pressure without any fear to confront the red-robed old man.

There was a "boom".

Under the pressure from the cultivators, the old man in red robe was defeated step by step and was knocked away like a broken sack.

"Yes...it's Master Bu Dan. He was the one who entrusted our company to auction the Locking Life Stake..." Mrs. Fei, who was in the Spirit Transformation Realm, was shocked when she saw this. She stepped back repeatedly and spoke in panic.

"Master Bu Dan?"

All the cultivators turned their eyes and looked towards the box where Master Bu Dan had been staying.

But when I looked back, I found that the box was already empty.

"I hope you didn't deceive me, Madam Fei, otherwise..."

After the late-stage Void Refinement cultivators uttered harsh words and glanced coldly at Madam Fei, they immediately burst into bright light, broke through the air, and rushed out.

……

After the farce is over.

The remaining cultivators then left the auction venue like birds and beasts.

Wei Tu and Xu Qingxuan were also mixed in with the crowd.

The two of them didn't say much. After each of them bowed, they went back to their homes.

At the beginning of the auction, the two of them still had plans to take action against the Demon Cloud Sect and the Iron Evil Lord.

But after the auction...

This thought is gone.

After all, this auction is over, and there are too many forces and powerful people involved. Although there are opportunities to fish in troubled waters, there is also the possibility of being targeted by other cultivators... The risk factor has skyrocketed.

The most crucial point is.

This time, the role played by Xingyun Commercial Bank was a bit strange. The probability of it being a conspiracy was too high.

Therefore, for safety reasons, the best strategy is to stop in time and retreat as soon as possible.

However, after returning to the cave, Wei Tu did not sit in meditation and continue his practice.

Half a day later.

He raised his hand and grabbed the void in front of him, sucked the "iron poison flying ants" outside the cave into his palm, and then quickly pinched the magic formula with both hands.

After a moment, a picture formed by water vapor slowly appeared in front of him.

Inside, the first thing that catches the eye is a lotus-colored skirt that wraps around the round curves. Looking up, you can see Mrs. Fei's beautiful face, and... the gloomy face of the old man in red robe.

"Sure enough, the poisonous flying ants that devoured the 'golden marrow worm' have acquired similar concealment abilities as the golden marrow worm, making them less likely to be discovered by cultivators of the same level..."

Wei Tu showed a faint smile on his face, and was happy that he had "gained" something like this.

Before this, when he was in the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core Stages, the colorful phantom moth in his hand could hide and track cultivators.

But unfortunately, as he continued to grow, the rank of the Seven-Colored Fantasy Moth became difficult to upgrade, and gradually, it lost its use and was abandoned by him.

Today, the iron-poison flying ants that devour the "golden marrow worms" and possess the magical powers of the golden marrow worms can be regarded as an alternative advanced version of the colorful phantom moth.

"I hope these two can reveal some secret information about this matter as I wish..."

After a brief sigh, Wei Tu suppressed his thoughts and listened carefully to the information stolen by the golden marrow worm. (End of this chapter)
