Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 197 Sect Auction (10,000 words update, please subscribe)

More than ten days later.

Shen Xuan and Fairy Bai Lian arrived at the auction in Yunyuan Immortal City together.

This time, neither of them disguised themselves.

The Cloud Abyss Immortal City is firmly under the control of the Azure Water Sect.

For such an important auction, the City Lord of the Core Formation Realm was personally in charge.

No one dared to cause trouble here.

Shen Xuan is a Grand Master cultivator.

The White Lotus Fairy comes from a prestigious Foundation Establishment family.

The two are people of considerable status.

As long as they don't deliberately cause trouble, others won't easily provoke them.

Especially the White Lotus Fairy.

A female cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, and so noble and beautiful.

Any rogue cultivator with a modicum of sense knows that this kind of person is not to be trifled with.

To avoid attracting attention, Shen Xuan and the White Lotus Fairy did not enter the venue at the same time.

However, once inside the auction, as agreed, the two entered the same VIP box.

The White Lotus Fairy looked at the auction catalog on the table.

His eyes sparkled.

She secretly glanced at Shen Xuan, who was resting with his eyes closed.

Thinking about the number of spirit stones in the storage bag.

He sighed softly and put down the auction catalog.

The White Lotus Fairy had no outstanding cultivation skills.

After the foundation is laid, income often exceeds expenditure.

She has been waiting for a Daoist partner worthy of her devotion.

As soon as Shen Xuan appeared in Xiaoyao Tower, she took a liking to him at first glance.

A senior cultivator, a disciple of a true master, and a second-tier talisman master.

He might be mediocre in the Qingyun Sect.

But in Qingyang Prefecture, it is a top-tier status.

Like Su Xue'er, the White Lotus Fairy took the initiative to step into the fray, showcasing her impressive assets and winning over Shen Xuan in one fell swoop.

Later, as time went by...

Over time, she developed feelings for Shen Xuan.

I increasingly don't want to leave him.

Even though Shen Xuan didn't give her a formal title.

The family cultivators of Qingyang Prefecture are nothing but empty shells in front of Shen Xuan.

Yu Zhu, the third young master of the Qian family, is an idiot who relies on his family for support.

Fortunately, Shen Xuan treated her well.

The two had no overt financial dealings.

In reality, Shen Xuan would always subconsciously find an excuse to let her earn spirit stones.

What truly moved the White Lotus Fairy was...

Shen Xuan taught her the [Taiyin Corpse Beast Technique].

There are no restrictions.

It's like receiving a high-quality foundation-building inheritance as a gift.

This will allow her to finally hold her head high in the Zhou family of Beast Tamers.

The father, who was furious, immediately changed his expression after hearing that the White Lotus Fairy had obtained the inheritance of the [Taiyin Corpse Beast Technique].

They will no longer pursue the matter of her stealing the corpse of the Great Water Ape.

With a gentle and kind tone, she was persuaded to give back to her family by passing on her legacy.

The White Lotus Fairy is not stupid.

She had a backup plan.

He handed over the cultivation techniques, but kept the formula for the Taiyin Corpse Beast Liquid.

This forced the Zhou family to purchase large quantities of Taiyin Corpse Beast Liquid from her.

"here we go!"

Shen Xuan opened his eyes, interrupting the White Lotus Fairy's thoughts.

"Bai Lian, if you have any items you like but don't have enough spirit stones, I can lend you some."

"Really? How much can Shen Lang lend?"

"Twenty thousand yuan."

"Thank you, Shen Lang!"

The White Lotus Fairy smiled radiantly.

With Shen Xuan's 20,000 spirit stones, plus her own savings, they could raise 40,000 to 50,000 spirit stones, enough to auction off a very good cultivation item.

Shen Xuan and the White Lotus Fairy were in a VIP box on the second floor.

However, most of the monks who came to participate in the auction were in the lobby on the first floor.

At this moment, illuminated by numerous luminous pearls, the auction hall was magnificent and bustling with activity.

Shen Xuan probed with his divine sense.

Only a small number of the monks in the hall were disguised; most revealed their identities.

"These are turbulent times. At this time, revealing one's identity will actually prevent suspicion of being a demonic cultivator."

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

He spotted some familiar figures in the crowd.

Tang Renhao, Zhu Jintang, Huang Family Patriarch, Huang Family Head...

"Huh, what's he doing here?"

Among the crowd, a disguised monk named Jinfa sat alone in the last row of the hall.

It was Wen Zijian, Shen Xuan's former demon-hunting partner.

However, for some reason, he did not acknowledge Tang Renhao, but instead disguised himself and hid in the crowd.

Since Wen Zijian didn't come looking for Shen Xuan, he naturally wouldn't take the initiative to acknowledge him.

Sometimes it's better not to know than to know.

There were also some female nuns.

The flowers were dazzling and attracted many covetous glances.

There are far more men than women among Foundation Establishment cultivators, creating a serious imbalance.

A female cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage can easily choose her ideal partner from a dozen or so candidates, provided her conditions aren't particularly bad.

"Luckily, Fairy White Lotus came in alone. Otherwise, it would have caused quite a bit of trouble!"

Shen Xuan is someone who hates trouble.

Even among Foundation Establishment cultivators, there are many who are obsessed with women. The Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion in the Immortal City is always bustling with visitors.

There were so many guests that the fairies couldn't possibly attend to them all.

"There are very few people like me who are so virtuous!"

Shen Xuan sighed.

……

The auction was hosted by a seasoned Foundation Establishment stage elder from the Azure Water Sect.

"Thank you all for attending this auction. As is customary, let me first explain the rules of the auction..."

After the host finished speaking, he emphasized that after the auction, the monks with VIP invitations would be taken to a gathering on the fourth floor.

At that time, the city lord will personally preside over a small trade fair.

The monks present are free to trade.

"Free trade? And the city lord is there to back them up!"

"No wonder it's so lively!"

Shen Xuan sighed inwardly.

The more chaotic the times, the greater the demand for spiritual items for cultivation.

With the City Lord of the Core Formation Realm in charge, the safety of the transaction is guaranteed.

More than two hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators from the vicinity came upon hearing the news.

"The first item up for auction is a second-tier low-grade magic weapon, the Heavenly Origin Shield."

"This defensive magic weapon has exceptional defensive capabilities; it can withstand a full-force attack from a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator..."

"Starting bid: 10,000 spirit stones."

"Each bid increase must be no less than one hundred spirit stones."

The host used his spiritual power, and his voice resounded throughout the entire auction hall.

"Eleven thousand yuan!"

"Twelve thousand!"

"Fifteen thousand!"

Soon, several impatient rogue cultivators started to bid.

"The product is good, but the price is a bit high."

Shen Xuan listened to the bidding for a while and came to a conclusion.

According to his estimate, the final bid price would be around 30,000 spirit stones.

However, its quality is somewhat inferior to his White Shield.

really.

The final transaction price for the Heavenly Yuan Shield was 32,000 spirit stones.

Next.

One by one, the auction items were placed on the table.

Magical treasures, elixirs, and talismans.

There are even deadly weapons like warships and spaceships.

Shen Xuan was in high spirits.

He had no intention of bidding.

But you need to know the prices of these spiritual items for cultivation.

To avoid being taken advantage of when making a move in the future.

……

Two hours passed.

More than twenty spiritual items for cultivation were auctioned off, and not a single one went unsold.

The final price is usually several times higher than the auction reserve price.

Clearly, the Azure Water Sect has put a lot of effort into this auction.

"The product is good, but it's too expensive!"

Shen Xuan sighed inwardly.

At this time, he already had more than 200,000 spirit stones.

But they couldn't bear to use the money to buy these spiritual items for cultivation.

In his opinion.

no need.

In the future, perhaps someone will offer it to him with both hands.

The White Lotus Fairy took a fancy to a fairy dress with auspicious flowers.

The fairy dress can continuously change into various flower shapes according to the owner's wishes.

It is a masterpiece of the Thousand Machines Sect.

Just appeared.

Then the female cultivators began bidding.

Among them were male cultivators.

The White Lotus Fairy quoted "ten thousand yuan".

It was quickly swallowed up by the bidding of the others.

The White Lotus Fairy looked at Shen Xuan.

"Buy it if you want."

The White Lotus Fairy gritted her teeth and hardened her heart, raising the price to "15,000 yuan".

I was overtaken by someone else again.

The White Lotus Fairy stopped bidding.

Every spirit stone she possessed was hard-won.

Although the Hundred Flowers Auspicious Fairy Dress is beautiful, it has little practical use.

She and Shen Xuan were so close that they didn't need fancy clothes to attract each other.

Only those vain female cultivators would drive up the price so high.

In the end, the Hundred Flowers Auspicious Fairy Dress was auctioned off to an old cultivator for 27,000 spirit stones.

Shen Xuan shook his head.

"Specious!"

This is his evaluation of the Hundred Flowers Auspicious Fairy Dress.

The price is close to that of a sect's Foundation Establishment Pill, so the price is far too inflated.

If the White Lotus Fairy insists on bidding, she will lose points in his eyes.

The two watched quietly, offering no further bids.

Shen Xuan was tempted when the host brought out a rare spiritual item for cultivation.
