Begin the path of immortality from mortals

"Have you heard? The mysterious Yaochi Palace actually has a late-stage fusion ancestor in charge!"

"Hiss—is this true?"

"How can this news be false? It is said that seniors from the Three Sovereigns and Seven Demon Kings all attended the banquet! And what is incredible is that Yao Chi Palace is filled with beautiful female cultivators. It is rumored that in addition to the four senior female cultivators who have achieved the state of fusion, there are more than 40 female cultivators who have achieved the state of refining emptiness. This is really shocking!"

"This Yaochi Palace is so mysterious! No wonder it has been so popular among our human race over the years. With such strength, it is almost comparable to the power of the Three Emperors!"

"The power of the Three Emperors? How is that possible? The Three Emperors have more than three or four combined cultivators under their command, and there are at least hundreds of Void Refining cultivators!"

"What can't be compared to this? Do you know what items were auctioned at the Yaochi Palace auction this time?"

"Have you heard of 'Nine Spiritual Ganoderma'? This is the best holy medicine for the fusion stage. It is said that after taking it, there is a high probability of advancing to the fusion stage!"

"Think about it, Yao Chi Palace was able to produce three Nine-Heart Spiritual Ganoderma. What does this mean? It means that they definitely still have this holy medicine in their hands! As long as they want, perhaps in a few years, Yao Chi Palace will have several more fusion cultivators!"

"It goes without saying that by then, the number of combined cultivators in Yaochi Palace will definitely not be less than that of the Three Emperors!"

"What this fellow Daoist said makes sense! And I heard from the elders in the sect that there are quite a few Wangxian Pills at this auction. This pill can completely allow a cultivator in the late stage of Huashen to smoothly advance to Lianxu. It is said that it can also increase the chance of advancing to Fusion by 10%! It is said that this pill was extremely rare in ancient times. I didn't expect that there would be as many as ten of them at this auction!"

"Need I say more? This Yao Chi Palace must have benefited from the legacy of the ancient cultivators and practiced in secret for many years, which is why there are so many high-level cultivators! Otherwise, we wouldn't have heard of the Yao Chi Palace before!"

"That's right. The value of this Wangxian Pill is amazing. Although Xu is extremely envious, he dare not fight for it due to his limited wealth. However, as for the famous Qixia Lotus, this time, I will fight for a piece even if I have to spend all my wealth!"

"Oh, congratulations, Brother Xu! It seems that Brother Xu will advance to the late stage of the Spiritualization soon. I am really envious of you!"

"Yes, Brother Xu has the help of his family behind him, so it is very likely that he can get a piece of Seven Clouds Lotus! This will save him hundreds of years of hard training, and it is very likely that Brother Xu will advance to the Void Refining Stage in the future!"

"congratulations!"

Listening to the envious congratulations from everyone, the middle-aged man surnamed Xu became extremely excited.

He was not afraid of others finding out that he had bought this kind of spiritual medicine that could directly improve his cultivation. As long as he bought it, he would immediately rent an official cave in Tianyuan City and spend some time refining it. No one would be able to covet the spiritual medicine in his hand.

What's more, although their Xu family is not a big family, they also have an ancestor who is in the early stage of the Refining Void Realm. The ancestor will also come to participate in the auction this time and will be watching over it from the side, so there is no need to worry about any problems!
……

Ever since the banquet hosted by Xuanzhen Palace's Lu Tiandu, a human genius, to entertain all the cultivators of the Nascent Soul and Fusion stages, every cultivator gathering in Tianyuan City has been discussing Yaochi Palace and the various rare cultivation resources at this grand auction.

At this moment, inside Xiang Zhili's cave, Xiang Zhili and Feng Laoguai, two good friends, were also discussing something.

"Have you made up your mind, Old Ghost Xiang? Do you want to participate in the competition for the Wangxian Pill? If you participate in the competition, although I am not worth much, I am willing to give it all to support you!"

Old Monster Feng looked at Xiang Zhili with scorching eyes and said in a deep voice.

This kind of elixir can increase the chance of advancement by 80 to 90 percent. As long as the luck is not extremely bad, it will definitely help the God Transformation cultivator advance to the Void Refining stage. There is almost no God Transformation cultivator who would not be envious!
If it weren't for the fact that Old Monster Feng had limited wealth, he would have joined the fight himself.

In addition, he advanced to the late stage of the Spirit Transformation several decades later than Xiang Zhili, and it would take him perhaps a hundred years to reach perfection in the late stage, while his old friend Xiang Laogui was actually already able to take this kind of elixir.

There are only ten Wangxian Pills available this time. It is a rare opportunity. It would be a pity to miss it!
Moreover, as long as one of them can advance to the Void Refining stage, he can then help the other to advance. This is why Old Monster Feng is a little impatient.

"Wait a minute, I'm waiting for a message!"

Xiang Zhili touched the Wanli Talisman in his hand and said, "Old Monster Feng, you have used all your wealth to support me, so how can I not be more serious? I hope there will be good news!"

The two have been friends for more than a thousand years and know each other well. Xiang Zhili is not a hesitant person, but since his old friend has given up his entire fortune to support him, he also wants to confirm some information so that he can better repay his old friend for his help in the future.

At this moment, the Wanli Talisman in Xiang Zhili's hand suddenly lit up.

The next moment, Xiang Zhili's spiritual consciousness had already shot into the Wanli Talisman.

After a moment, Xiang Zhili said with a look of surprise:

"Just now, Fellow Daoist Lu replied to the news that there will be a big auction in Yaochi Palace a hundred years later. At that time, there will be ten more Wangxian Pills. And according to Fellow Daoist Lu, the price of Wangxian Pills this time will be around 200 to 300 million spirit stones each..."

"What? There is still the Hope Pill a hundred years later?"

Old Monster Feng simply ignored the price of the Wangxian Pill and said with a look of surprise.

"Yes, Brother Lu's news is definitely not false."

Xiang Zhili affirmed, "Although we don't know much about the Yaochi Palace in the spiritual world, the Yaochi Palace of the Great Jin Dynasty caused quite a stir back then. Look at the Qixia Lotus and Wangxian Pills at this auction. Brother Lu must have had the help of these medicines to quickly advance to the Lianxu stage..."

"Normally, the price of Wangxian Pills in this auction may be a little high, but we can't afford to take the risk. Maybe there will be more cultivators participating in the auction next time. Besides, there are many cultivators with richer wealth than us, so we have to compete with all our strength this time."

Xiang Zhili thought for a moment and said, "As long as I can get the Wangxian Pill this time, when I advance to the Lianxu stage, I will do my best to help you, my old friend, fight for the next batch of Wangxian Pills a hundred years later!"

"it is good!"

……

In a remote spiritual cave in the Tianyun Mountains, Han Li was looking at the auction items in the jade slip in his hand with a burning gaze.

"In another ten to twenty years at most, I will be able to cultivate to the peak of the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm. There are a total of ninety pieces of Seven Cloud Lotus at this auction, and I must bid for one. And I will also compete with all my strength for this Wangxian Pill. It is rumored that only one of these Wangxian Pills appeared at the Tianling City auction three hundred years ago, and ten of them appeared at once this time. If you miss this opportunity, you will never see another such elixir again..."

Han Li thought of some of the thousand-year-old elixirs he had saved over the years, and his heart became extremely excited.

Since he ascended to the spiritual world more than a hundred years ago, he has stored a lot of high-year spiritual medicines because the small green bottle can produce a drop of small green liquid every three days. This time is the time for these spiritual medicines to come into play.

Although there were numerous cultivation materials that attracted his attention at this auction, the most important thing to him was naturally the elixir that could directly improve his cultivation.

As long as he can obtain the Qixia Lotus and Wangxian Pill, he is confident that he can advance to the Lianxu realm within a hundred years and truly step into the door of immortality!

Dayan Divine Lord, whose cave is also located in the Tianyun Mountains, is playing with a spiritual puppet in his hand, and a thoughtful look flashes across his face. After a moment, looking at this accidentally acquired spiritual puppet of the Divine Incarnation level and the many other Nascent Soul level puppets on the table that he has refined over the years, Dayan Divine Lord has decided to sell all of these puppets and auction off a piece of Qixia Lotus to help him advance to the late stage of Divine Incarnation...

Juxian Pavilion is a restaurant in Tianyuan City that specializes in entertaining cultivators above the Lianxu level.

At this moment, in a cave, four or five monks wearing the same family uniforms were quietly waiting for something. There were both men and women among them, and except for a young girl who was only in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, the others were actually in the stage of the Spiritualization and Refining Void.

At this moment, a tall man with a full beard and eyes like copper bells opened the ban, walked into the hall from outside, and walked straight to a young man in his twenties, wearing a half-worn gray robe and with weathered eyes, and reported:

"Great Elder, I have already inquired clearly. There are indeed only three Nine-spirited Spiritual Ganoderma this time, and it seems that many cultivators are competing for it this time... According to the news spread from Yaochi Palace, because the Nine-spirited Spiritual Ganoderma can also be traded with Spiritual Stones, its final auction price may reach 1 billion Spiritual Stones!"

"One billion spirit stones!"

Upon hearing the words "1 billion spirit stones", not only did the grey-robed young man in the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm frown slightly, but the others also took a breath of cold air.

They were all core cultivators of the Xu family and knew roughly the family's financial situation. Although there were three Void Refining cultivators in the family, the Xu family was merely a medium-sized family. These 1 billion spirit stones were almost the surplus of all the family's industries over a thousand years.

They had originally brought all their family assets with them this time, thinking that it would be entirely possible to get a Nine-Hearted Spiritual Ganoderma, but the approximate price was beyond their expectations.

It can be said that if the Xu family participates in the competition for the Nine-Hearted Ganoderma, the future development of the family will be subject to many restrictions.

"This kind of mature Nine-spirited Spiritual Ganoderma is usually traded for goods, but this time it can be settled with Spiritual Stones. No wonder the final auction price of this item will increase by several times!"

The great elder Xu Yuan sighed softly, "Although this item is extremely important to me, I cannot ignore the interests of the family. Let's talk about whether we should participate in the fight?"

As Xu Yuan spoke, he looked at the second elder Xu Yan, who was in the middle stage of the Refining Void realm, and the family patriarch Xu Jiao.

As for Xu Lin, another family steward in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and Xu Qianyu, a girl in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, they were ignored.

"What does the clan leader think?"

Xu Yan did not respond directly. Instead, he looked at a man in white who was in his thirties, had a handsome face and a scholarly air.

"I think we should try our best."

Xu Jiao pondered for a moment and said, "Although there is another elixir that our ancestors left behind that can help us break through the bottleneck of the fusion, even with the Nine Spiritual Ganoderma, the chance of a breakthrough is less than half. However, the Nine Spiritual Ganoderma is hard to come by. If we miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to encounter it next time."

"We can earn this amount of spiritual stones slowly. As long as we get the Nine Spiritual Ganoderma and buy one or two other barrier-breaking elixirs, then as long as a combined cultivator appears in my Xu family, we can restore the former glory of our family, and it won't be difficult to earn back this amount of spiritual stones."

"Okay, since the clan leader agrees, I have no objection. But I want to say one thing. Let's set the bidding line at 1 billion spirit stones. If the price exceeds this, we will stop. What do you think?"

Xu Yan said in a deep voice, "If the Nine-Hearted Spiritual Ganoderma cannot be auctioned, we must also try our best to get one or two Wangxian Pills. With this pill, not only the clan leader, but also Xu Lin can use it to advance to the Refining Void stage and enhance the strength of our clan!"

"can."

After hearing what Xu Yan said, Xu Yuan, Xu Jiao and others nodded in agreement.

Although the Nine-Hearted Spiritual Ganoderma is good, if it really exceeds their burden, they will naturally have to give it up.

Moreover, although this matter can enhance the family's strength, the huge expenses generated by it cannot be borne entirely by the family. Other related people must also bear at least 10% to 20% of the expenses.

In addition, this time when they came to Tianyuan City, in addition to bidding for the Nine-spirited Spiritual Ganoderma and Wangxian Pill, they also wanted to bid for some other materials that would be useful to the family. Every spirit stone would be useful.

By having an agreement in advance, even if things don't go well in the future, there will be no internal conflicts.

After everyone discussed it for a while, Xu Jiao and his daughter Xu Qianyu entered one of the halls.

"Father, what kind of power do you think this Yao Chi Palace is? How can they have so many rare and valuable spiritual medicines and top-level spiritual treasures? It's really unbelievable!"

Xu Qianyu looked extremely curious and said, "It would be great if my family had these elixirs. Then not only would the Great Elder be able to advance to the Fusion Stage, but you, father, could also advance to the Void Refining Stage, hehe..."

Xu Qianyu chuckled as she spoke.

"This Yaochi Palace is indeed extremely mysterious! I guess they must have obtained a great opportunity from the ancient times in the wilderness! As for the top-level spiritual treasures, perhaps most of them are the spoils of war that Senior Lu obtained back then!"

Xu Jiao also said with a smile.

"Nine-spirited Spiritual Ganoderma, Wangxian Pill, Qixia Lotus, and various Lianxu, Huashen, and Yuanying-level elixirs. This auction is really amazing! Isn't Yaochi Palace afraid that other cultivators will have some ideas?"

Xu Qianyu recalled some experiences during her travels when people were killed and robbed for treasures, and wondered.

Compared to treasures, this kind of elixir that can directly improve one's cultivation is really enviable.

"You're still too young!"

Xu Jiao smiled and shook his head, "Not to mention that Yao Chi Palace has a late-stage fusion cultivator, and you also know that Senior Lu is known as the pride of our human race, and he has a close relationship with Yao Chi Palace. It is rumored that Senior Lu once killed dozens of fusion cultivators among foreign cultivators, and later killed the Holy Emperor, which shocked the human race. In this case, even if we know that Yao Chi Palace may have an ancient inheritance, who would dare to have other thoughts!"

"What happened to Qin Ze and the old ghost of Mengshan back then is a lesson for us!"

……

Lu Tian naturally didn't know that the Xu family cultivators who lived in a corner of Tianyuan Realm and had some relationship with him were also coming to participate in the auction with their entire family.

At this moment in Xuanzhen Palace, after entertaining all the guests, Lu Tiandu was chatting with the Black Phoenix King Xiaoguan and another male cultivator in a side hall.

This person was a big bearded man wearing a golden robe and a strange bun with two horns on his head. Although most of his face was covered by his curly black hair and beard, the pair of deep yellow eyes hidden in it made people feel dizzy at first sight.

This person is none other than the Cave Heaven Rat King, who is in the middle stage of the fusion stage among the seven demon kings! (End of this chapter)
