Mortal: The Heavenly Spiritual Root that Begins from the Demonic Path

Zi Ling kept pacing back and forth in the room.

Although Fengdu Fairy City is large, it is crowded during the auction, and the rental of this room is not cheap.

Fortunately, Zi Ling brought most of the funds of Miaoyin Sect, and even three things that could be called treasures. The purpose was to exchange them for Heavenly Fire Liquid and Snow Spirit Water. If there was Dust-Reducing Pill, it would be even better.

However, Zi Ling was destined to be disappointed. The Jindan spiritual objects were exactly what Tian Shiyuan had looted. Even Huangquan Valley felt that they were not enough, so how could it be auctioned? If it was put up for sale, it would not be enough to attract attention and would eventually return to Tian Shiyuan's own hands.

As the number of people gradually increased, many large and small auctions appeared in Fengdu Fairy City. These auctions were naturally aimed at the cultivators who were building their foundation and practicing Qi, and for a while, it was extremely lively.

The auction planned by Yi Jue was intended to be a routine, and the Fengdu Fairy City was also prepared to hold a large number of auctions. For a while, countless elixirs and talismans were circulating here, and countless spirit stones were flowing here.

As a result, half a month later, the custom of auctioning became deeply rooted in people's hearts. There were four or five auctions held almost every night, and the number of foundation-building cultivators reached thousands.

Nearly a hundred Jindan cultivators had come. Seeing this, Ji Yin also came forward and announced that the Fengdu auction would be held in three days, with a total of three sessions.

After this time, it will be held every ten years and become a tradition.

As for the other auctions in Fengdu Fairy City, they are held non-stop. They are held in different areas of the Fairy City in turn, with three auctions every day, targeting the foundation-building and Qi-training cultivators.

Such a grand auction made Fengdu Fairy City almost half as popular as Tianxing City.

Resources from the southwestern region began to flow in and out continuously, with Fengdu Fairy City as the core.

At this time, Ji Yin also received several old friends, among whom were many Nascent Soul cultivators, such as Qing Yi, Tian Wuzi, Mu Tengzi and others.

At this juncture, many independent cultivators who had been hiding their heads also quietly came to the city.

Over the past half month, Zi Ling has been continuously participating in auctions and has bought many elixirs for increasing magic power during the Foundation Establishment Period. Unfortunately, there has not been a single auction of elixirs for forming elixirs.

"An admission ticket of three thousand spirit stones is nothing more than a piece of cake for Jindan cultivators, but for foundation-building cultivators like us, three thousand spirit stones are enough to buy two good magic tools. It seems that the real resources related to Jindan cultivators will only appear in this Fengdu auction."

Zi Ling sighed and had no choice but to spend three thousand spirit stones to buy an admission ticket.

There was another person standing next to Zi Ling. This person had an ordinary appearance, but his cultivation was unfathomable. It was none other than Han Li who had fled to Xi Country.

In the past, Han Li, after parting with Chen Qiaoqian when Yi Jue led his troops to attack the Chen family, left the Kingdom of Yue with Zhang Tie.

Then they went all the way north, eventually passing through Yuanwu Kingdom. It was not until the Tiandao League was established that they went to a market in Xi Kingdom to practice, and Zhang Tie also went with them.

After that, after several decades of wandering, Han Li, under the protection of Zhang Tie, successfully used the third level of Zhongyuan Gong to compress his magic power, and practiced the Dayan Jue, and finally broke through to the Jindan stage.

However, although Zhang Tie had good spiritual roots and had become more proficient in alchemy in recent years, he still failed when he first tried to form a pill.

Later, Han Li and Zhang Tie were forced into a desperate situation during an expedition to a secret realm. They had to enter a one-way teleportation array. However, the teleportation array in the secret realm had an unknown and dangerous path ahead. Unexpectedly, they arrived at the Chaos Star Sea.

While escaping, Zhang Tie blocked an attack for Han Li and was nearly killed. Fortunately, Han Li had a small green bottle and a lot of spiritual medicine reserves, which saved Zhang Tie from a life-threatening situation.

However, although his injuries recovered, Zhang Tie's cultivation level fell back from the False Dan realm.

This time Han Li came here to look for the spiritual objects needed for Dan-forming, as well as some elixirs that could help break through the realm, in order to find a way for Zhang Tie to succeed in Dan-forming in his lifetime.

You know, Zhang Tie and Han Li are now over 150 years old, and their lifespan in the foundation-building stage is already running out.

"Fairy Zi Ling, I am new here. I wonder who built this Fengdu Fairy City. How could Xinggong be so indifferent to such a grand auction?"

Zi Ling had met this Jindan cultivator named Li Feiyu once before, but she never expected to see him again here. She felt a little sad, so she complained.
"This place is called Jiyin Island. It is the power of the old demon Jiyin. More than ten years ago, Tianshiyuan suddenly joined in."

"It is said that there are countless white jade capitals standing in Tianshiyuan. As long as you can afford the trade, you can find the legendary elixir and spiritual herbs."

"This Tianshiyuan has a history of more than a hundred years. Even the Liulian Palace was annexed by it. Now it is considered the number one chamber of commerce in the southwest sea area."

"However, if this auction goes smoothly, I'm afraid it will not only be held in the Southwest Sea, but also in the entire Chaos Star Sea and Tianshiyuan."

Although Han Li had just arrived, he knew that this Old Ancestor Ji Yin was the legendary Nascent Soul cultivator. This time, even his family business had been incorporated into Tianshiyuan. It was likely that there were also Nascent Soul cultivators in Tianshiyuan!

"With such a powerful force, it's no wonder they're not afraid of Xinggong!"

"I think we should be able to find the Heavenly Fire Liquid and Snow Spirit Water that can help us to form the elixir."

Han Li had no idea that the woman in front of him was also looking for this thing. After finding out the news, Han Li turned around and was about to leave. Zi Ling knew that the person in front of him was a Jindan cultivator. In addition, on the way here, this Taoist friend had demonstrated his extraordinary power in sword techniques.

Moreover, he was grateful for helping me out, so he said a few more words.

"Fellow Daoist, wait a minute. Although this auction is prosperous, it is mostly prepared for foundation-building and Qi-training cultivators. There are very few items that can form a core, and those that do appear are only the finale. There are no precious items such as core spiritual objects."

"If you are interested in seeing it, you can attend the Fengdu auction in three days. It is said that it is hosted by a Yuanying cultivator himself. Not only will there be countless Jindan cultivators participating, there will even be quite a few Yuanying cultivators participating!"

"Legend has it that the finale is a fragment of a virtual sky map!"

Han Li paused as he turned around, then walked away slowly. A voice came,
"Thank you, fellow Taoist. I have something else to attend to, so I won't stay any longer."

When Han Li and Zhang Tie met up, Zhang Tie teased,
"This fairy is so pretty and charming. I have never seen such a delicate face in my life."

"Why don't you chat a little more?"

Han Li said helplessly,
"He's already over a hundred years old, but he's still so unstable. Although Zi Ling looks good, she has a lot of troubles. We just happened to help her once, but we can't bring trouble upon ourselves." (End of this chapter)
