Chapter 215: The Secret of the Purple Mansion, Important Information, and the Final Treasure
Seeing this, Chief Wu gritted his teeth and presented the spiritual stones he had brought with him.

Fu Changsheng smiled:
"Patriarch Wu, father-in-law, since you trust me, then take back the spirit stones. Since I have promised you, I will naturally take you to the auction site."

The implication.

It means that a solution has been found.

Patriarch Wu and Liu Qingmin's eyes lit up and they were so excited that they expressed their gratitude again and again.

While talking.

A servant came forward outside the door and said:
"Master, the waiter at Lai Fu Inn outside the door has sent a secret letter."

talking.

The servant brought over an envelope with a ban on it.

Fu Changsheng took it, opened it and saw that it was Uncle Feng who asked him to go to Lai Fu Inn. The reason why he did not use the communication jade talisman was probably because he was afraid that the news would leak out.

Come out of Wandan Pavilion.

After entering Lai Fu Inn, he went straight to the top floor and arrived at Room Xuan. He knocked on the door. The light curtain of the formation surged and a gap came into view.

inside the room.

But there was only Shangguan Feng.

After the formation is closed.

Fu Changsheng asked curiously:

"Uncle Feng, didn't Hongyu come with you?"

"Hongyu Retreat"

Shangguan Feng handed a cup of Laiyun tea on the tea table to Fu Changsheng.

Fu Changsheng had no appetite.

The last time they met, Hongyu was one step ahead of him and had reached the peak of foundation building. Could it be that she was in seclusion now to practice some secret technique?

Shangguan Feng saw that he was absent-minded and glared at him:
"This is the best Laiyun tea. I managed to get it from the old man in the Shi family for less than a penny. Enjoy it."

Fu Changsheng smiled awkwardly.

Take a careful bite.

I found that this Laiyun tea didn't make any difference when I first drank it, but after it went down my throat, it calmed my restless heart and left a lingering fragrance in my mouth:

"Uncle Feng, good tea!"

Fu Changsheng smiled and refilled Shangguan Feng's glass.

After the two exchanged a few words of greeting.

Shangguan Feng cast a spell into the light curtain of the magic circle, and saw another soundproof light shield was completed.

Fu Changsheng looked at the situation and it seemed that he had something important to say.

Shangguan Feng's face was solemn:
"Changsheng, when you entered Wanning Market, you must have seen that even Huaibei Prefecture has brought many foundation-building cultivators. Do you know why they came?"

Hear the strings and know the elegant meaning.

Fu Changsheng's heart moved:
"Uncle Feng, could it be that in addition to the Foundation Establishment Pill, the Wanning Chamber of Commerce's auction will also include other high-level spiritual materials and treasures?"

"Um"

Shangguan Feng put down the teacup.

Quick voice transmission:

"The news I got from the Wanning Chamber of Commerce is that there will be three finale treasures in this auction, one of which is the well-known Foundation Establishment Pill."

"certainly"

"Since it is reserved for the finale, there will naturally be more than one Foundation Establishment Pill. It is said that the last Foundation Establishment Pill auction will be held in groups of ten."

Ten pieces in a group.

Based on auction prices in previous years.

I'm afraid it will cost around 300,000 spirit stones.

Fu Changsheng suddenly realized.

It seems that the last set of foundation-building pills is for the noble families to bid on.

How could a casual cultivator have such financial resources?

The Fu family currently has ten Foundation Establishment Pills. If they really have so many spirit stones, they will not use them for bidding, but for building the city.

After all, the Fu family now holds the recipe for the elixir.

As long as you find the foundation-building elixir, you can refine it. There is no need to be a sucker and give money to others.

"Changsheng, if your Fu family can't afford this amount of spiritual stones, then you have to make a move before then. Most likely, Qi training families and independent cultivators will be bidding on a single spiritual pill. At that time, you can focus on a group of foundation-building pills that are bundled together. They are the most cost-effective."

This was Fu Changsheng’s first time attending an auction.

Many details were not thought of.

After receiving the advice from Shangguan Feng, he said gratefully:
"Thank you Uncle Feng for your advice."

but.

He was more curious about what the other two finale treasures were.

Shangguan Feng paused.

Continued:
"As for the second treasure, it is said to be a first-grade Xuan-level technique. This technique can be cultivated to the Golden Core stage, which is only slightly lower than the Earth Level. The eighth-grade families of Huaibei Prefecture also came here after hearing the news. Everyone's purpose is very simple. The foundation-building pill is secondary. The most important thing is this first-grade Xuan-level technique."

When saying this.

Shangguan Feng's eyes flashed with eagerness.

Obviously.

Shangguan Feng was also very interested in this martial art.

Fu Changsheng felt a tightness in his heart.

He didn't expect that just a first-grade Xuan-level technique could make the eighth-grade families in Huainan Prefecture and Huaibei Prefecture so eager. If others knew that their Fu family not only had earth-level techniques but also heaven-level techniques, the Fu family would be doomed to be wiped out.

"Fortunately, the family only kept the Qi training chapter of the high-level exercises in the library."

Fu Changsheng's face showed a look of shock and eagerness, and he said:

"Uncle Feng, what is the last treasure?"

"For the last thing, I asked the old man from the Shi family, but he didn't know either."

Upon hearing this, Fu Changsheng felt that the marketing methods of the Wanning Chamber of Commerce were truly amazing. They had fully attracted everyone's curiosity and enthusiasm. Moreover, regarding the first-grade Xuan-level martial arts technique, it was probably leaked by the chamber of commerce itself, and the target consumer group was the eighth-grade families.

Like their ninth-rank family.

In the eyes of the Wanning Chamber of Commerce, everyone can only fight for a chance to get the Foundation Establishment Pill.

That’s all about the auction.

Shangguan Feng changed the subject and returned to the original topic:
"Changsheng, were you wondering why Hongyu was still in seclusion when she had already broken through to the peak of foundation building?"

"Uncle Feng, isn't Hongyu practicing a secret technique?"

“Of course not”

Shangguan Feng shook his head.

He spread out his right hand, and a wisp of true energy flowed out from his fingertips:
"Take a look at this true essence. How is it different from yours?"

Shangguan Feng is a sword cultivator and has a gold spiritual root, so his cultivation method is also the same.

Therefore, the true essence contains a sharpness that people cannot look directly at.

However, upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the hair-like true energy was swirling around Shangguan Feng's fingertips, but the power contained in it was even more terrifying than his true energy which was ten times greater:
"Uncle Feng, your true essence seems to have been refined without any flaws, and is extremely pure."

Shangguan Feng understood everything Fu Changsheng said.

The satisfied spell was collected.

The strand of true energy was absorbed into his body, and he said:

"Now do you know why Hongyu is in seclusion?"

Fu Changsheng nodded slightly, moved.

If I guessed correctly.

Shangguan Hongyu is preparing to open up the acupoints in the two major dantians.

Shangguan Feng did not keep the secret and said directly:

"Changsheng, I cannot say much about the secret of the Purple Mansion because it involves the secrets of the imperial court. But you should remember one thing. If you want to go further in the path of cultivation, you must be willing to work hard during the foundation-building period and not rush for success. You are only in your early forties and there are still more than a hundred years before the deadline. If you believe in Uncle Feng, use this time to do everything you can to refine your body and true essence to the extreme."

These are words spoken from the heart.

Especially Fu Changsheng, who knew the secret of Zifu, understood Shangguan Feng's good intentions even more.

If he guessed correctly.

Shangguan Feng should have opened up the two major dantians. It was because of his personal experience that he gave such advice. As for why the other party had not yet taken the step out of the Purple Mansion, Fu Changsheng did not know, but he was truly moved by Shangguan Feng's words.

He stood up and bowed:
"I will always remember Uncle Feng's teachings."

"Just keep my words in mind. Sit down, sit down. There's no need to be so polite between you and me."

After Fu Changsheng sat down.

Shangguan Feng mentioned another important matter:

"Rumor has it that there is only one rank left for an eighth-grade family in Huainan Prefecture. I'm sure you've heard about it, Changsheng. What do you think?"

"Uncle Feng, I haven't thought about other things. Our fiefdom is right at the entrance of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, so right now, our Fu family is focusing on how to resist the beast tide. As for which family will win the spot, that's a matter for the future. After all, the imperial court hasn't really issued an announcement yet."

"You think clearly."

Shangguan Feng smiled slightly.

Originally, he thought that Fu Changsheng would confront the Cui family because of this.

He was relieved.

But still warned:
"The Cui family is under the rule of the Shi family. As long as that old man is in charge of the Shi family, he will never allow the aristocratic families under his rule to fight each other. So as long as you don't provoke the Cui family, the Qi family, and the Hong family, no matter how bad the rumors are, the three Cui families will not take the lead in attacking your Fu family."

"Yes, Uncle Feng"

A ninth-rank family under the rule of the Shangguan family.

The Lin family is considered ruined.

Shangguan Feng naturally didn't want the Fu family to repeat the same mistake.

The two chatted for a few more words. After drinking a pot of tea, Fu Changsheng got up and left.

Come down from the third floor.

But I heard a familiar complaint coming from the second floor:

"I am the eldest son of the Xu family. Why can he, Xu Laoer, live on the top floor, while I, Xu Changqing, can only live on the second floor? Humph, I'll go find my aunt right now."

Xu Changqing ran towards the Zhenshi Division like a gust of wind.

Xu Changzhi, who was following behind him, wanted to persuade him but didn't dare to.

Xu Changqing arrived at the Zhenshi Division.

However, he was able to meet Palace Master Xu quite smoothly. Palace Master Xu was unmarried and had grown up with Xu Changqing's mother as a close friend. Xu Changqing's mother had saved Palace Master Xu's life. It was Palace Master Xu who helped Xu's mother marry into the Xu family.

So for Xu Changqing.

Palace Master Xu treats the other person as his own child.

Seeing that he was in a hurry, he waved his hand, signaling the manager to go down, and after closing the magic circle, he patted the storage bag, and a box of snacks made of Yunling crab floated towards Xu Changqing:

"You're almost thirty, but you're still like a child, losing your temper at the slightest provocation. Here are the Yunling crab cakes I brought back from Jingzhou for you. Try them and calm down."

"Aunt, I'm not in the mood to eat any snacks right now.

You don’t know that last time in the Canglan Secret Realm, my father saw that I returned empty-handed and had lost three foundation-building cultivators. In a rage, he and the elders removed my status as the young clan leader.

Now he is using Xu Laoer, son of Aunt Qiao, to ascend to the throne."

"This time, the Wanning Chamber of Commerce auction was such a big event, and my father directly let Xu Laoer take full charge. Xu Laoer and the eldest elder lived directly on the top floor of Laiyun Inn, while I, the eldest son, had to condescend to live below him on the second floor."

"Aunt"

"Help me to talk to my father. If this continues, then Xu Lao Er will be able to bully me in the future!"

Xu Changqing's little mouth kept talking.

It was obvious that he felt very aggrieved at home, and finally found someone he could talk to.

Palace Master Xu just listened.

But there was no answer.

After Xu Changqing finished speaking, he felt very thirsty. He raised his teacup and gulped down a cup of tea. Then he realized that Palace Master Xu hadn't said a word:

"Aunt"

"You know that the reason why I failed in the mission in Canglan Secret Realm was because of the Cui family. The evidence is right in front of us. Otherwise, how could the Cui family come up with nine portions of foundation-building elixirs? Aunt, all of this is the Cui family's fault, but Dad is taking his anger out on me. I am speechless and feel so wronged."

Palace Master Xu knew that his nephew was born lustful.

The mission failed.

Most of them fell into this trap.

If not.

The other party would not shout about looking for Miss Lin as soon as he left Canglan Secret Realm.

Although Palace Master Xu doted on Xu Changqing, he also knew Xu Changqing's temper. If the clan did not discipline him, once he went out into the world and was attacked by others in the future, his life would be in danger.

Therefore, she did not stop Patriarch Xu from pushing Second Xu to the stage. She originally wanted to teach Xu Changqing a lesson and make him reflect on himself, but now it seems that he has not changed at all.

The punishment of depriving the young patriarch is still too light.

Palace Master Xu said solemnly:

"Changqing, if there is a chance, aunt will help you get rid of the Cui family's anger, but aunt has something important that I need you to return to the family immediately and hand it over to your father in person."

Xu Changqing had never seen his aunt look so serious before. He was stunned for a moment. Although he still wanted to join in the fun in Wanning Market, he still curled his lips and muttered:
"All right"

talking.

He put the box handed to him by Palace Master Xu into his storage bag. When he turned to leave, he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten something, so he turned around and took the Yunling crab cakes on the table.

After Fu Changsheng returned to Wandan Pavilion from Laiyun Inn, he did not go out again. On the day of the auction, he sat cross-legged in the secret room and then an idea came to his mind:
"Exchange Information"

The auction is about to begin.

The natural thing is to exchange intelligence and see if we can get any useful information from it.

hum!
The panel vibrates.

A large amount of yellow light surged and surged.

Then lines of text appeared:

[1: Xu Changqing complained to Palace Master Xu and asked Palace Master Xu to help him take revenge on the Cui family. After returning to the clan with the secret box entrusted to him by Palace Master Xu, he was imprisoned in the Cliff of Repentance for a full ten years until the beast tide broke out.]

[2: In order to bid for more foundation-building pills, the Liang family did not hesitate to take out a box from the blood-colored forbidden area for bidding. This box was obtained by their ancestor of the Liang family. Until the generation of Liang Zhishan, no one has been able to open it.]

[3: At today's auction, there will be three Soul-Nourishing Grass seeds that are only half full of life left. Soul-Nourishing Grass is the main ingredient for refining Soul-Nourishing Pills.]

[4: Three final treasures will appear in the auction]

[5: Your wife Liu Rumei's maiden family is the Liu family. The father of the Liu family's ancestor is actually a direct descendant of the Liu family, one of the five major Qi training families in Taiyun County, Jingzhou. The Liu family in Taiyun County is a family of talisman masters.]

【6:.】

A total of ten pieces of information were exchanged.

Fu Changsheng's eyes swept across the pieces of intelligence.

There was not much information about the auction, and the only specific information given was the three soul-nourishing grass seeds:
"It seems that if we want to get more specific information, we have to enter the auction site to find out."

Fu Changsheng stood up immediately.

After coming out of the secret room.

But they saw that Chief Wu and Liu Qingmin had been waiting for a long time.

Fu Yongshang handed a treasure bag to Fu Changsheng with both hands:

"Master, these are the spiritual stones that our Wandan Pavilion has collected."

Take the treasure bag.

Fu Changsheng asked one more question:
"Yongshang, I've been in seclusion for the past few days. Is there any news coming out of the market?"

He only exchanged ten pieces of information.

There are bound to be omissions.

Moreover, the information provided by the system is random.

Fu Yongshang organized his words and said in an orderly manner:

"Reply to the head of the family"

"Rumor has it that one of the three most important treasures in the Wanning Chamber of Commerce auction this time is a first-grade Xuan-level technique. This is the most reliable news, and it's spread with details and evidence."

"also"

"There are various opinions about the other two treasures. Some say they are elixirs that can help you break through the Purple Palace, some say they are elixirs that can cleanse your essence and marrow, and some say they are fruits that can increase your lifespan."

“Because of this rumor”

"I heard that one or two of the Purple Mansion masters who were originally in seclusion have also come. I don't know whether they are true or false."

"But someone is secretly selling the Wanning Chamber of Commerce's admission tokens. One of them is said to have sold for three thousand spirit stones."

After Fu Changsheng listened.

His eyebrows twitched.

Even the system was unable to provide specific information about the final treasure.

Could it really be the elixir that can help one break through the Purple Palace?

As for the possibility that even the Purple Mansion Great Master was alarmed to attend the meeting, he felt that it was unlikely. After all, he had only seen a Purple Mansion Great Master show up once, when the Canglan Secret Realm was opened last time.

But what do you think?

Before Fu Changsheng left, he gave another instruction:

"Yong Shang, recently, the Wandan Pavilion's protective array should be running at full speed as much as possible. The cultivators coming in from Wanning Market are mixed, so just in case."

"Yes, Master"

Fu Yongshang nodded quickly.

As soon as Fu Changsheng left the Wandan Pavilion, he immediately ordered the servant to fill the center of the formation with spirit stones and operate the protective formation at full speed.

Fu Changsheng brought Patriarch Wu and Liu Qingmin to the Wanning Chamber of Commerce, but saw a long queue at the door. In front of him were Patriarchs He and Cao.

Even the heads of ninth-rank aristocratic families have to queue up.

Fu Changsheng was about to step forward when he saw a young woman standing at the front door of Wanning Chamber of Commerce walk down quickly and bow slightly to Fu Changsheng:
"Patriarch Fu, I am Qin Ruyi, the granddaughter of Elder Qin. Patriarch Fu, please follow me."

Qin Ruyi's cultivation has reached the late stage of foundation building.

Fu Changsheng followed the other party around the main gate and arrived at the corner gate. Not far from the corner gate, he saw a familiar face. It was Situ Feng from Huaibei Prefecture, whom he had met several times when he entered the Canglan Secret Realm last time.

Situ Feng nodded slightly to Fu Changsheng almost imperceptibly.

He was the first to walk in through the corner door.

Qin Ruyi slapped her storage bag, and three boxes floated towards Fu Changsheng:
"Patriarch Fu, these are three robes that block the prying eyes of the gods. After you put them on, even if a master cultivator from the Purple Mansion comes, he won't be able to see your true face. Go in through the corner door, and a maid will take you up to the third floor. When you get to the third floor and see an empty private room, you can go in directly."
