Immortality and cultivation begin with drawing talismans...

Chapter 92 Auction

auctions.

After disguising himself, Lin Chang'an used a concealment technique to hide his magical aura before entering the auction hall.

"Li Huo Palace is more accurately described as the Huang family's sect."

As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Lin Chang'an frowned secretly in his private room as he looked at the information Shen Lie had gathered.

"Of the three Core Formation cultivators in Li Huo Palace, two are from the Huang family, and the third is weaker. Li Huo Palace, which split off from the Xuan Yin Divine Sect, is more accurately described as a sect established by the Huang family, a Core Formation clan, by absorbing some of their power..."

Only by understanding the internal structure of the Li Huo Palace can one know that this is clearly Huangjiabao.

"No wonder Huang Shaohai is so arrogant."

Lin Chang'an frowned secretly. He hadn't inquired about it carefully before, since such a major sect was too far away from him.

"Over the past century, the disciples and followers recruited by Li Huo Palace have included talented female cultivators who married into the Huang family to continue the lineage, and male cultivators who married female cultivators from the Huang family to protect the sect..."

Only by summarizing this information can one discover how shocking the internal structure of the Li Huo Palace truly is.

However, the Huang family was not simply a bloodsucker. They were never stingy with cultivation techniques, magical artifacts, pills, and inheritances. As a result, the Huang family won the trust of many disciples within the sect and enjoyed great success.

The intelligence report clearly states that there are no restrictions on male cultivators marrying female cultivators from the Huang family; you are allowed to choose any female cultivator you like.

"Over the past century, those who have made contributions have been allowed by the sect to establish families within its jurisdiction."

At this moment, Lin Chang'an couldn't help but sigh, no wonder the Li Huo Palace was so powerful, there was really a reason why they were so strong.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think of Yun Yao, and frowned secretly.

"It seems that after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, Yun Yao became even more elusive, and with her swift and decisive actions, she has annihilated countless Tribulation cultivators. Her cultivation level has even broken through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage."

Just as Lin Chang'an was deep in thought, cultivators from all sides arrived at the auction.

……

"Master Lu's disciple has arrived!"

A gasp rippled through the hall, and many cultivators stood in awe as three disciples of Master Lu arrived at the auction venue.

Leading the group was Wu Yan, a pseudo-core cultivator, who exuded a fierce aura. His pseudo-core cultivator aura caused countless cultivators present to restrain their minds.

The second disciple, Su Miaoyin, was dressed as a Taoist nun. She had an excellent appearance and a dignified demeanor, yet her brows revealed a hint of allure. Her cultivation had already reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

The third disciple, Song Tingfeng, was handsome and had a smile on his face. He was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

"These are Master Lu's three disciples."

Inside the auction hall, countless cultivators nodded secretly. Although they were unable to see Master Lu's illustrious face today, they had heard that Master Lu would personally attend the final auction.

The cultivators on the left and right sides are from the Li Huo Palace and the Xuan Yin Pavilion, respectively.

Strength determines status, and it is no exaggeration to say that Master Lu, relying on the Xuan Shui Turtle, is the number one Golden Core cultivator in the Yue Kingdom.

"Junior sister Su."

Huang Tianxiao, with a faint smile, was trying to curry favor with Lu Zhenren's daughter from the direction of Li Huo Palace. This scene made Song Tingfeng frown and show his dissatisfaction.

The cultivation world isn't all about fighting and killing. Nobody's stupid. Anyone who can become a Daoist partner with Master Lu's daughter will receive a very generous dowry.

After all, Master Lu's lifespan is not long. With his family's wealth of over five hundred years and a late-stage third-tier Xuan Shui Turtle, not to mention them, even the three major sects are very envious.

Even if all of this wealth is given to his daughter, it doesn't matter.

……

"Welcome, fellow Daoists and seniors, to Laifengle Auction House."

As everyone took their seats and the auction began, a white-haired elder in the Foundation Establishment stage walked out with a smile on his face and cupped his hands in greeting to the crowd.

This person was a follower brought back by Master Lu. His deep voice echoed, causing many cultivators to secretly tremble with fear.

"His cultivation level is at least at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage."

Lin Chang'an, who was in the private room, was secretly alarmed. He couldn't see through the old man's cultivation level, but judging from his aura, his cultivation level should not have reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Yet this powerful Foundation Establishment cultivator was merely a follower.

He truly deserves to be called the number one rogue cultivator in the Yue Kingdom.

"The first item up for auction is a top-grade first-tier pill called the 'Qi Condensation Pill,' which is extremely beneficial for late-stage Qi Refining cultivators to improve their cultivation. I won't go into the details of its effects here. The starting price is..."

A beautiful female cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining respectfully carried a tray forward, gesturing for everyone to look.

"To start with a top-grade first-level pill, that's quite a generous gesture."

Lin Chang'an couldn't help but sigh. Back in the Green Bamboo Mountain market, even after reaching the late stage of Qi Refining, finding such a pill was quite difficult. Yet here in Tianxuan City, it was so easy.

Indeed, puddles and lakes cannot compare.

The Fengle Chamber of Commerce is said to have been established by Master Lu during his time in the Demon Beast Sea Abyss. Later, when he returned to his homeland, Yue Kingdom, he brought back many followers.

As one item after another appeared at the auction, it drew gasps of surprise from the cultivators.

The lowest grade items are all high-quality magic artifacts, and treasures in the late stage of the first tier.

Lin Chang'an waited calmly in the private room. He had a clear goal; right now, it was just something that a Qi Refining cultivator needed.

"I'll offer eight hundred spirit stones!"

"I'll bet nine hundred!"

The cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining were all red-faced and their necks were thick with excitement as they watched this gluttonous feast.

The first thing to do upon entering the auction is to verify your funds. Those with less than 500 low-grade spirit stones are not qualified to enter. Otherwise, the auction would not be able to accommodate tens of thousands of independent cultivators from outside.

Foundation Establishment cultivators, on the other hand, don't need to use any of these; in fact, each of them has a private room.

……

"The next item up for auction is a spiritual artifact, also known by many cultivators as a top-grade magic weapon, the 'White Phosphorus Shield' defensive magic weapon, with a starting bid of six hundred mid-grade spirit stones!"

As the auction progressed into its second half, the Qi Refining stage cultivators could only watch helplessly as Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were bidding against each other.

Too many treasures had already appeared, including dozens of extremely rare Foundation Establishment Pills, causing the Qi Refining cultivators present to erupt in excitement.

The top-grade magic weapon that has now appeared is also the goal that Lin Chang'an has been looking forward to for a long time.

"It's understandable that a top-grade defensive magic weapon would be a little pricey."

Lin Chang'an nodded secretly. Don't underestimate the difference between top-grade and high-grade magic artifacts. Although there is only one level difference, they are actually worlds apart.

The materials used to refine top-grade magical artifacts have already been mixed with a considerable amount of materials used by Core Formation cultivators to refine magical treasures.

Therefore, top-grade magical artifacts are also known as spiritual artifacts.

"The next top-grade magical artifact to appear is the 'Divine Wind Boat,' a flight aid crafted from precious materials such as the fins and tail of a second-tier demonic beast, the Ink Dragon. It is small, agile, and extremely fast."

At this moment, the old man on the auction stage was even more excited, pointing at the magical artifacts that were being presented and shouting:

"This magical artifact is incredibly fast, absolutely unique. Starting bid: 700 mid-grade spirit stones!"

"Seven hundred and fifty!"

"Eight hundred!"

"Eight hundred and twenty!"

The atmosphere was electric, and Lin Chang'an was also quite excited.

"If one has such a magical artifact, even if one encounters a formidable opponent, one can always escape if one cannot defeat them."

However, considering the spirit stones in his storage bag and his goal, Lin Chang'an ultimately sighed inwardly, having missed out on this magical artifact.

It's not that flying artifacts are bad, but he usually cultivates in Tianxuan City, which is actually the safest place. Where could he escape to?
Even though Master Lu's lifespan is short, he should have no problem stabilizing Tianxuan City within the next hundred years.

Therefore, for the time being, flying magical artifacts are not as important to him as magical artifacts that can enhance his combat power.

However, this was different for other cultivators. One by one, the late Foundation Establishment cultivators became envious, since many of them were outsiders. If the winds turned against them in the future, their chances of survival would greatly increase.

"Nine hundred and eighty mid-grade spirit stones! Is there anyone willing to bid higher?"

"Nine hundred and eighty mid-grade spirit stones, sold!"

Amidst gasps of surprise, yet another top-grade magical artifact was sold.

Among magical artifacts, those with offensive capabilities are the cheapest, but there are exceptions, such as sets of offensive magical artifacts, which are more expensive.

However, complete sets of magical artifacts also place high demands on the cultivator's spiritual sense.

"Next up are the flying needles..."

Upon seeing the flying needle-like magical artifacts appear, Lin Chang'an was moved, finally getting his target.

Thanks to all my fellow readers for your support! I actually made it to the top three in the rankings! I was completely dumbfounded at first, but the editor said I was really lucky to have made it to the top three despite being at the bottom.

Haha, thanks to the support of all fellow cultivators, the release date is set for May 5.7th. I can still update some free chapters in the next couple of days.
