Mortals: Practice the Three Thousand Great Ways to Gain Eternal Life

Chapter 87 The Spirit of the True Dragon
Of course, Lin Shou just said it casually, he didn't think Mrs. Wen would help.

After all, the friendship between the two was not that deep.

I can only say that we have some friendship!
"In three days, the Wan Shang Hai Association will hold an auction on Nanming Island. There will be two thousand-year-old spiritual woods, which should be of great use to you."

Mrs. Wen hesitated for a moment and then spoke softly.

"Ten Thousand Merchants' Sea Meeting, Nanming Island! I understand, thank you very much, senior."

After hearing what Mrs. Wen said, Lin Shou was shocked, but then he showed joy and thanked her.

After all, he really didn't know about this matter.

Of course, if he went out to ask, he would naturally know, but Mrs. Wen was willing to remind him, which was really kind.

As for Nanming Island, it is a transit island for other islands to reach Tianxing City and is not very famous.

Because there are many such islands near Tianxing City, and there is a lot of business going on, and it is also quite prosperous and lively.

But compared with Tianxing City, it pales in comparison.

As for why Wan Shanghai held an auction on Nanming Island, Lin Shou was too lazy to delve into it.

But compared to this matter, Lin Shou was more curious about why Madam Wen, the number one person in the magic world and the Six Paths Supreme Saint Taoist Companion, would stay in Tianxing City for so long.

Even if we want to find him, the murderer who killed Wen Tianren, it will take too long.

Don't you worry about your safety at all?

This is Tianxing City, the territory of Xinggong.

Although the Star Palace and the Holy Land of Demons, Holy Demon Island, have not yet reached a point of falling out, they probably won't mind letting the companion of the Six Paths Supreme Saint disappear.

As for the Six Paths Supreme Saint, even if he had six more courages, he would not dare to come to Tianxing City for revenge. What's the difference between this and seeking death?

But if you think about it carefully, Xinggong will not fall out with the Holy Demon Island.

At least before the Anti-Star Alliance appears, they will not fall out with the Holy Demon Island.

Even though the Twin Saints of Heavenly Stars hated the Six Paths Saint to the core and wanted to extract his soul and refine his spirit, they would not be so hasty to do it.

The most important thing now is to practice the flawed "Yuan Magnetic Divine Light".

Mrs. Wen naturally had no idea about Lin Shou's thoughts. Although she suspected that Lin Shou might be the murderer who killed Wen Tianren, she did not rush to take action to extract Lin Shou's soul and refine his spirit.

Although she believed that it was not difficult to do so with her Nascent Soul stage strength.

On the contrary, not only did she not take action, she helped Lin Shou many times, such as helping to collect spiritual wood materials.

As for the reason, she naturally has her reasons.

Just like that, with Lin Shou and Mrs. Wen each having their own thoughts, after exchanging a few words, Lin Shou said goodbye and left.

After leaving, Lin Shou went to Miaoyin Gate in Tianxing City.

In the past few years, Wang Heng and Zhou Yuan from Miaoyin Sect have been helping him collect various spiritual wood materials.

Of course, Lin Shou will also pay enough compensation and will not let the two suffer any loss.

As for the fact that Lin Shou had collected so many spiritual wood materials to refine his own magic weapon, neither Wang Heng, Zhou Yuan nor Madam Wen had the slightest doubt.

After all, it is perfectly normal for a Jindan stage cultivator to spend more than ten years or even dozens of years refining his own magical weapon.

So, this kind of thing is simply a matter of course.

It won't arouse anyone's suspicion at all!
……

"Nanming Island, Wanshang Haihui Auction, I will keep an eye on this matter, Brother Lin, don't worry."

In Miaoyin Sect, after hearing Lin Shou's words, Wang Heng nodded and agreed.

Wang Heng and Zhou Yuan have always tried their best to make friends with Lin Shou, who had reached the stage of Dan before the age of 100 and could be considered a good friend.

In the past few years, I have helped collect spiritual wood materials, including seedlings.

"Okay, thank you, Brother Wang."

Seeing this, Lin Shou naturally expressed his gratitude.

"Brother Lin, you are too polite. I have to thank you for your help last time. Otherwise, I and those disciples might not be able to come back."

Wang Heng shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"I don't know when I offended Jiyin Island, but they actually attacked our sect."

Some time ago, when Wang Heng took a group of Miaoyin Sect disciples to Tianxing City to purchase a batch of materials, they encountered Jiyin Island on the way.

Jiyin Island naturally has no shortage of high-level Jindan-stage cultivators, with three of them, one of whom is in the middle Jindan stage. On the contrary, Miaoyin Sect only has one Jindan-stage cultivator, Wang Heng.

In this situation, if there is no accident, the result is already determined.

But an accident happened. Lin Shou suddenly appeared, or to be exact, he just happened to bump into him.

And since he had encountered this, Lin Shou naturally would not just stand by and watch, so he stepped in to rescue him.

Although Lin Shou had just reached the Jindan stage not long ago, he had no shortage of magical weapons. In addition, he was not comparable to ordinary Jindan stage cultivators.

After a fierce fight, one of the three Jindan cultivators from Jiyin Island died and two escaped, allowing Wang Heng and other members of the Miaoyin Sect to escape death. Naturally, they were extremely grateful to Lin Shou.

"I don't know about this either. Anyway, Brother Wang, please be more careful in the future."

Lin Shou shook his head and said.

If Miaoyin Sect had not helped him obtain the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo, he would not have come to the rescue. Lin Shou didn't care about the fact that he had offended Jiyin Island.

After all, the only person on Jiyin Island who could pose a threat to him was the Nascent Soul cultivator, Jiyin Old Monster.

The other party is probably still practicing the Tiandu Corpse Fire and cannot pose a threat to him for the time being.

So, there is absolutely no need to worry.

By the time the old monster Ji Yin succeeded in cultivating the so-called Tiandu Corpse Fire, Lin Shou believed that he had also successfully refined his own life-saving magic weapon: the Qing Emperor's Ten Thousand Woods Sword Formation.

By then, even if the old monster Ji Yin really came to him, he would not need to be afraid of anything.

"Brother Lin is right. This is the only way."

After hearing Lin Shou's words, Wang Heng could only smile bitterly and nod.

After the incident on Jiyin Island, he naturally would not mention inviting Lin Shou to become the elder of their Miaoyin Sect.

This is no different from asking Lin Shou to die. Moreover, even if there was no incident with Jiyin Island, Lin Shou would never agree to it.

"Yes. I'll trouble Brother Wang to take care of the spiritual wood materials."

Lin Shou nodded.

For him, the main function of Miaoyin Sect is to help collect spiritual wood materials, and nothing else is important.

"Brother Lin, don't worry about this."

Naturally, Wang Heng would not refuse Lin Shou's request.

Afterwards, the two talked in detail, and then Lin Shou stood up, said goodbye and left Miaoyinmen.

……

After leaving Miaoyin Sect, Lin Shou returned to the Holy Mountain Cave Mansion, planted the newly acquired spiritual tree seedlings in the medicine garden, and began to cultivate and ripen them.

This is the most important thing for Lin Shou, everything else is unimportant.

Lin Shou was too lazy to care about the feud between Miaoyin Sect and Jiyin Island. Because Wang Heng did not tell the truth at all, Lin Shou knew it very well, but he did not question Wang Heng.

After all, it has little to do with him.

……

Nanming Island is one of the transit islands to Tianxing City. Although it is not large in area, it is home to a large number of Star Palace monks, and can be regarded as the outer outpost of the Star City.

As in the past, the entire island port was bustling with large and small ships coming in and out, and with a large number of mortal monks coming and going, making it extremely lively.

And because of the auction held by the Wanshang Sea Association, the place became even more lively, with colorful lights coming and going, and there were more and more ships than ever before.

The ceremony was held in the palace in the central square of the largest market town on Nanming Island.

This palace originally belonged to the Xing Palace, but is now temporarily rented by the Wanshang Haihui.

The palace is divided into two floors, with the first floor having the most participating cultivators, but most of them are at the Foundation Establishment stage, and there are very few at the Core Formation stage.

Because all the Jindan stage cultivators went to the second floor to participate in the auction.

Although the number of people on the second floor is not as large as that on the first floor, at least they are cultivators in the Jindan stage.

"Senior, please stop. You need to pay 500 spirit stones to enter the second-floor hall."

Just as Lin Shou was about to fly into the second-floor hall, two Foundation Establishment cultivators, a man and a woman in white, who were serving as servants of the Star Palace, stopped him.

Hmm! Xinggong monks, even if they are only in the foundation-building stage, are still better than most Jindan stage monks.

Seeing this, Lin Shou naturally would not force his way in. He patted his storage bag, took out a small cloth bag and threw it to the man.

"for you!"

The white-clothed man from Xinggong took the small cloth bag, examined it, and immediately said respectfully.

"Please come in, senior. This is your jade token. Keep it well."

As he spoke, the white-clothed woman from the Xinggong nearby took out a jade token and handed it to Lin Shou with both hands, her face also full of respect.

Seeing this, Lin Shou nodded slightly, then took the jade token in his hand and poured spiritual power into it.

Suddenly, a green light emerged and enveloped him completely, making it difficult for his spiritual sense to detect him.

Seeing this scene, Lin Shou was in a good mood and turned into a ball of green light and flew into the hall.

The light curtain at the entrance of the hall did not block Lin Shou at all, allowing him to enter.

There were sparse figures in the hall, only in twos and threes, but their auras were all quite powerful without exception, especially the five or six figures in the lead, whose auras were as strong as mountains, proving that they were all Nascent Soul cultivators.

Looking around the entire hall, Lin Shou found a not-so-conspicuous seat and sat down, waiting for the auction to begin.

After all, his target this time was still just the spiritual wood material, and he wasn't very interested in anything else.

Therefore, he seemed quite indifferent, and after sitting down, he chose to close his eyes and rest.

time flies

"Zheng!" Half an hour later, a heavy bell sounded, which made Lin Shou open his eyes in time. At this time, there were many more people in the hall, and there were figures in seven or eight out of ten positions.

The majority of them are still Jindan stage cultivators, but there are also many Yuanying stage cultivators. At least, Lin Shou sensed more than ten Yuanying stage cultivators.

It has to be said that this auction is definitely the grandest one in Chaos Star Sea in decades, or even hundreds of years.

As the bell rang, a middle-aged man in a Confucian robe appeared in the center of the hall, obviously coming to the stone platform in charge of the auction.

"I am Wanshiqiao, greeting all the seniors and fellow Taoists. I will be in charge of the Wanshang Haihui Auction this time. I hope that all the seniors and fellow Taoists can show me favor and not make things difficult for me."

The middle-aged man in Confucian robe had a smile on his face that made people feel like spring breeze, and he bowed slightly.

"Fellow Daoist Wan, there is no need to waste time on this nonsense. Let's get started! Your Wan Shanghai Association has been polite and assured that there will be many good things in this auction. Don't let us down!"

A Nascent Soul cultivator covered in black light spoke.

"Don't worry, Senior Ning. I will start now."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man in Confucian robes quickly smiled and said,

Before he finished speaking, more than a dozen young women with graceful figures and charming faces came behind him holding trays covered with brocade handkerchiefs.

Then, he waved his hand and the woman in front walked forward and placed the tray on the stone table.

Then, the middle-aged man in the Confucian robe dropped his hand on the brocade handkerchief and lifted it up.

Inside was a black, fist-sized piece of iron.

"A piece of top-grade iron essence, the base price is three thousand spirit stones, and each bid cannot be less than five hundred spirit stones."

Iron essence is one of the essential materials for most Jindan stage cultivators to refine their own magical weapons, and it is also one of the most commonly used materials.

There has always been a shortage of supply, and it needs to be refined bit by bit by Jindan stage cultivators using Dan fire.

However, although it is now possible to refine it with the help of earth fire with the help of formations, it still requires the intervention of a cultivator in the Jindan stage, and the quality is not as good as that refined with Dan fire.

Therefore, it is normal that supply exceeds demand.

Such a large piece of iron essence has rarely appeared in the past ten years. Before the middle-aged man in the Confucian robe finished speaking, a Jindan stage cultivator couldn't wait to raise the price.

"Four thousand spirit stones!"

"Four thousand five hundred spirit stones."

"Five thousand spirit stones!"

For a while, the sound of bidding was endless, but in the end, this piece of iron essence was bought by a cultivator in the late Jindan stage for eight thousand spirit stones.

After the Iron Essence, the atmosphere became even more heated, and the many monks present became more and more excited about the items to be auctioned.

Next came a bottle of high-quality elixir made from a fifth-level demon pill, which could improve the cultivation and magic power of a cultivator in the Jindan stage.

This caused quite a scramble again, and it was eventually bought by a cultivator in the early Jindan stage for five thousand spirit stones.

Because it is a fifth-level demon pill, the effect of this pill is greatest only for cultivators in the early stage of Jindan. It will not have much effect on cultivators in the middle and late stages of Jindan.

Naturally, there are not many cultivators in the late and middle Jindan stages who are competing for the position.

After the elixir, it was the spiritual wood material that Lin Shou had been waiting for for a long time.

"Thousand-year-old green mulberry wood with dragon patterns, the base price is two thousand spirit stones, and each bid cannot be less than two hundred spirit stones."

The middle-aged man in the Confucian robe did not give much introduction, but he still aroused the interest of many Jindan stage cultivators who were practicing wood-attributed techniques.

After all, the thousand-year-old spiritual wood material is an excellent material for refining magical weapons or for making medicine and elixirs.

But for Lin Shou, it is naturally something that he must obtain. Although this green mulberry dragon-patterned wood is far inferior to the heavenly thunder bamboo, as long as it is cultivated for ten thousand years, it will contain a trace of true dragon energy, which will be very useful in deterring monsters and ghosts.

Moreover, this trace of true dragon energy also has certain benefits for the primordial spirit. It can concentrate the mind and strengthen the soul, increase the strength of spiritual consciousness, which is extremely beneficial.

However, it is not an easy task to cultivate it to ten thousand years old.

But for Lin Shou, it was not a big problem, it just took a little more time.

For others, it requires time to wait and cultivate, so how is this possible?

Therefore, falling into Lin Shou's hands is the best option.

"Five thousand spirit stones!"

In the end, Lin Shou bought the green mulberry dragon-patterned wood for five thousand spirit stones.
