Dragon Devouring Cultivation

Chapter 155 Auction
There is a professional auction house in Hanmeifang City. When Li Zhen approached the auction house, he sensed a slight sense of pressure. This was the aura that a foundation-building cultivator intentionally released to intimidate cultivators near the auction.

Li Zhen showed the post, and the late-stage Qi training cultivator standing at the door let him in.

Entering through the gate, the first thing you see is the auction hall.

The auction venue is divided into two floors. The second floor is composed of private rooms, which are only accessible to monks of high status.

Of course, there is also a private room in the Fortune Pavilion, but he will not go there. He will not have enough time to conceal his identity.

He looked at the environment and found a seat within ten meters from the display items, which meant that the post he got was relatively close to the front, otherwise he would not have been able to sit in the front row.

After sitting down, he began to look around the auction house.

Especially the cultivators from Cuihong Sect, they were mainly responsible for the security of this auction, and the market managers had no choice but to cooperate.

"Two true foundation-building cultivators. The Cuihong Sect really attaches great importance to the auction!" Li Zhen discovered the cultivators wearing the Cuihong Sect's insignia, and found that there were two true foundation-building cultivators among them, and couldn't help but think in his heart.

His eyes swept across the waist of one of the Foundation Establishment cultivators, where there was a large storage bag.

The large storage bags in the ancient world of cultivators can be seen from their appearance. Their volume is larger than that of ordinary storage bags. They are generally used to store large quantities of goods. Few cultivators use large storage bags on a daily basis, mainly because large storage bags are difficult to hide when carried on the body.

As Li Zhen was watching, he felt a cold gaze and quickly looked away.

The owner of the cold gaze was none other than the Cuihong Sect's Foundation Establishment cultivator whom he was observing.

A true cultivator in the foundation-building stage is extremely sensitive to all kinds of prying eyes. When Li Zhen looked at the large storage bag, he couldn't help but feel greedy, and was immediately noticed.

Fortunately, Li Zhen's gaze was not an isolated case. If it had not happened in the auction house, the attack from a true foundation-building cultivator would have already landed.

The look from the Foundation Establishment cultivator at the scene was just a warning, telling Li Zhen not to have any random thoughts.

Li Zhen changed his sitting position and shifted his attention to the monk next to him.

He sensed it a little bit and couldn't help but feel that this auction might not be peaceful.

Because among the cultivators sitting in front of him, he sensed that more than half of them had first-grade top-grade spiritual objects on them, not including those who had placed first-grade top-grade spiritual objects in their storage bags.

The most terrifying thing was that he sensed the aura of a second-level low-grade spiritual weapon from the two cultivators. He didn't know whether these two cultivators were true foundation-building cultivators, but they were at least half a step away from foundation-building.

If you want to control a second-level low-grade spiritual weapon, you must at least build your foundation half a step.

"The more chaotic the better!" Li Zhen thought to himself.

His mind entered the Dragon Heart Space, where was a thing that did not belong to the style of the ancient cultivation world. This thing was what he exchanged for the corpse of a monster in the Aoki University Fortress.

The auction was held on time. The entire auction hall can accommodate more than 2,000 people and is now full.

Most of the monks among them covered their faces. Those who did not cover their faces were either relatively weak and just came to take a look, or they were absolutely confident in their own strength. Their identity alone could make others feel cautious and think it was more convenient not to cover their faces.

The auction was hosted by a female cultivator in the late stage of Qi training. She had a charming face and seemed to have practiced some kind of seductive technique. Her voice was captivating.

Of course, a female cultivator in the late stage of Qi training can only influence cultivators in the early and middle stages of Qi training, and her influence on cultivators in the late stage of Qi training is extremely small.

Li Zhen has a dragon heart in his body, so this kind of charm technique has no effect on him at all. Not to mention a female cultivator in the late stage of Qi training, even if a female cultivator in the foundation building stage uses it, it will have no effect at all.

He did not know this female cultivator, but when she appeared, the eyes of most of the cultivators in the field became excited. It was obvious that this female cultivator was very famous.

The first items to be auctioned were all fine spiritual objects for the Qi training period, such as high-quality realm-breaking pills, orifice-breaking pills, healing pills, etc. These fine pills were scrambled for by many cultivators as soon as they came out.

There were also many first-grade fine magic tools, fine talismans, and rare fine array plates. The atmosphere in the auction hall was becoming more and more lively.

This auction lasted for two hours, which aroused the enthusiasm of the monks present. However, for the monks at the peak of Qi training, the appeal of these spiritual objects was very limited.

"Next are the ten finale items!" The female cultivator announced when she saw the atmosphere was getting good. In the display area, the foundation-building cultivator took out the first finale item and placed it on the display cabinet.

"The first second-grade intermediate-quality realm-breaking pill. Although there is only one pill, it can increase the probability of advancing from the early stage of the building period to the middle stage by 20%!" The female cultivator excitedly introduced the first item for auction.

Li Zhen couldn't help but be shocked. If the Foundation Establishment Pill was precious, then this second-grade intermediate-grade Realm Breakthrough Pill was, to some extent, more valuable than the Foundation Establishment Pill.

No matter what, the Foundation Establishment Pill is only a first-grade pill, while the second-grade intermediate-quality Realm Breaking Pill is a second-grade pill. First-grade pills are useless for true foundation building practitioners, but second-grade realm breaking pills are what cultivators in the early stages of foundation building pursue.

The first item at the auction was a second-grade intermediate-quality realm-breaking pill, which puzzled Li Zhen.

Not only him, but the monks present were also talking about it, and it was obvious that they did not understand the behavior of the auction.

"The starting price is eight thousand spirit stones, and the price increase must not be less than five hundred spirit stones at a time!" The female cultivator quoted the starting price for a second-grade intermediate-grade realm-breaking pill.

"I want eight thousand spirit stones!" A voice came from a box above.

"Eight thousand five hundred spirit stones!" A new price was quoted from another box.

The monks on the first floor could only watch the bidding for the private rooms, as this kind of bidding was not something they could participate in.

It’s not that there are no cultivators on the first level with assets exceeding eight thousand spirit stones, but as cultivators in the Qi training stage, it is too early for them to buy second-tier pills. Their goal is to buy stage-building pills.

The bidding for the box soon exceeded 15,000 spirit stones, and Li Zhen was shocked by the generosity of the cultivator in the box.

At this moment, Li Zhen suddenly sensed that the two foundation-building cultivators on the first floor had the aura of a second-level spiritual object. Based on his judgment of the aura of a second-level spiritual object, this should be the aura of a second-level talisman.

This discovery made him alert and ready to respond at any time.

He was not the only one who noticed the abnormality. Two Cuihong Sect Foundation Establishment cultivators had been monitoring the situation in the auction house and they discovered it when the aura of the second-level talisman appeared.

The two Foundation Establishment cultivators looked at each other. The reason they took out the second-grade intermediate-grade realm-breaking pill was not for the auction, but to fish.

According to intelligence, Haoyue Sect will target this auction. Since the main forces of Haoyue Sect are being watched by Shifang Valley and Cuihong Sect, the number of foundation-building cultivators that Haoyue Sect can send out is limited.

In order to lure out the true cultivators of the Haoyue Sect who were building the foundation, they used the second-grade intermediate-grade realm-breaking pill as bait. In fact, the second-grade intermediate-grade realm-breaking pill was too attractive to the true cultivators in the early stage of foundation building, and no true cultivator in the early stage of foundation building could resist such temptation.

Two second-level talismans flew out and attacked the two foundation-building practitioners of Cuihong Sect.

No one had expected the terrifying foundation-building spell to erupt in the auction house.

According to the cultivators present, even if an accident occurred, it would be when the Foundation Establishment Pill appeared.

So when the second-level talisman was activated and the two foundation-building spells erupted, many cultivators did not even have time to be on guard before they felt the horror of the foundation-building spells head-on.

Even though the foundation-building spell was not aimed at the cultivators present, the terrifying aura alone made the cultivators feel uncomfortable.

This is a closed environment. Experienced monks immediately took out defensive magic weapons or talismans to strengthen their defense and stay away from the center of the battle.

Li Zhen was well prepared. He rolled over to the auction table where the female nun was standing and used the cover of the auction table to hide his body.

His eyes were fixed on the large storage bag. One could not blame him for being greedy; it was simply that his demand for resources was too great.

"You guys have fallen into our trap!" A Foundation Establishment cultivator from Cuihong Sect laughed.

The defensive magic weapon in front of him blocked the attack of the second-level talisman. Although the opponent's attack was somewhat unexpected, it was all in plan.

The two foundation-building cultivators of Haoyue Sect had unchanged expressions. In the chaos, twelve late-stage Qi training cultivators appeared beside them. Each of the twelve late-stage Qi training cultivators held a formation flag in their hands and stood in a special position.
