Cultivating Immortals in Two Realms, I Possessed the Primordial Thunder Vine

Chapter 42 Foundation Building Pill

In Xu Changjun's hands, the most valuable items were the corpse of the second-grade Wild Wolf King and the Foundation Establishment magic weapon.

"You have excellent skills, sir."

Manager Zhang Liang pointed to a small hole on the forehead of the Wild Wolf King and exclaimed in admiration.

He carefully examined the wolf king's corpse, nodded, and then thoroughly inspected the magical artifacts left by Yue Yuanzhong before feeling relieved. He then turned and respectfully asked.

"I wonder, are you preparing for an auction, or are you selling directly?"

What are the possible explanations behind this?

Having just arrived, Xu Changjun was also unfamiliar with the rules, so he asked.

"My lord, both the second-grade wolf king's corpse and the Foundation Establishment magic weapon are for Foundation Establishment cultivators, and their prices would undoubtedly be higher in a regular auction. Of course, if you decide to auction them, you must wait for the next auction."

"If you urgently need money, you can sell these two items to us, and we will accept them at a price close to the market price."

After a moment's thought, Xu Changjun decided to sell it directly to Tiandige.

After the other party brought in several staff members to measure the corpse of the Wild Wolf King, the Foundation Establishment artifact was appraised by a professional artifact refiner. Finally, Zhang Liang gave the final price.

"My lord, a level two wolf corpse costs 2,200 low-grade spirit stones, a magic weapon costs 4,500 low-grade spirit stones, and together the two items cost 6,700 low-grade spirit stones."

"Can."

Xu Changjun didn't waste any words and accepted what he considered a fair price.

After all, for such fast processing, this price is already quite reasonable.

This price is only because I'm a Foundation Establishment cultivator; otherwise, it would be even lower.

His main objective was to acquire the Purple-Eyed Bull Demon at the auction, which should have been a sure thing if the price was reasonable.

……

clap clap!

Everyone was already in place at the auction.

A middle-aged man walked onto the stage clapping his hands. He had a meticulously styled haircut and was holding a wooden mallet. He smiled as he surveyed everyone present. Seeing that the hall was gradually quieting down, he slowly began to speak.

"Brothers, seniors, fellow cultivators, greetings! The 105th auction of the Heaven and Earth Pavilion in Danxia City is now officially open!"

Xu Changjun stood in front of the transparent glass on the second floor, his gaze slightly solemn.

This Heaven and Earth Pavilion truly lives up to its reputation as a trade association spanning numerous immortal cities. It possesses immense power, wealth comparable to a nation, and unfathomable depths of heritage.

Putting everything else aside, just look at this seemingly harmless, chubby, smiling middle-aged auctioneer. If you underestimate him because of that, you'll only end up hurting yourself.

Under his golden and silver eyes, he could see clearly that this person's magical power did not show any fluctuations on the surface, but in reality, he was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and his cultivation level and magical power were both higher than Yue Yuanzhong's.

Their strength should not be underestimated.

Considering the power behind the Heaven and Earth Pavilion, there's nothing surprising about it.

The auctioneer beckoned, and a delicate-looking woman came out carrying a tray with three porcelain vases on it.

"These are top-quality Qi Condensation Pills, produced by the Bixia Sect. They are among the finest first-grade pills. There are five pills in one bottle. The starting bid is thirty spirit stones. The auction will now begin."

The Qi Condensation Pill, as a first-grade pill, is suitable for use by those at the advanced stage of Qi Refining, and its price is around three or four spirit stones.

However, this is a pill produced in Danxia City, and its quality is even better, with far superior effects. The price reaches six spirit stones per pill, and the enthusiastic reaction from the audience shows that the competition is extremely fierce.

Watching the various precious items being auctioned off below, Xu Changjun remained silent and did not make a move.

Although these early auction items are of little use to him now, it is undeniable that attending this auction has broadened his horizons. Various rare items that are not usually seen have appeared, some of which he has never seen before.

"Everyone."

The middle-aged auctioneer suddenly raised his voice, and the auction hall fell silent for a moment. Seeing that he had attracted everyone's attention, he spoke slowly.

"The next item to be auctioned is something that all Qi Refining cultivators dream of: the Foundation Establishment Pill."

In an instant, everyone's eyes widened, and even their breathing became heavy. If it weren't for the powerful background of the Heaven and Earth Pavilion, some people would probably have stood up and rushed up to examine it carefully.

For cultivators at the peak of Qi Refining, there are generally two ways to break through to the Foundation Establishment level.

The first method is to rely on one's own abilities and aptitude to forcibly break through the bottleneck with magical power and achieve a direct breakthrough. This is called the Heavenly Dao Foundation Building, but it has very high requirements for aptitude, and very few people dare to use it.

Those who can break through in this way are mostly extraordinary in strength, have profound foundations, and are the best among Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The second, more common method, is to increase the chances of a breakthrough by using foundation-building spiritual objects or taking foundation-building pills.

Compared to this, cultivators who break through on their own undoubtedly have greater potential.

However, taking Foundation Establishment Elixirs to break through is the choice of most peak Qi Refining cultivators.

After all, the success rate of breaking through to the same level is incomparable.

The probability of a cultivator breaking through on their own is too low. In the world of cultivation, there are many talented people, so who would dare to call themselves a genius?

Forcing a breakthrough, if one lacks sufficient foundation, will harm oneself, not only increasing the probability of failure but also potentially cutting off one's future path.

This is the difference between cultivators who have achieved Foundation Establishment through Heavenly Dao and those who have broken through by consuming Foundation Establishment Pills; the gap between the two is enormous.

Xu Changjun's ability to forcefully kill Yue Yuanzhong after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage may well be partly due to this reason.

"Looks like another fierce battle is about to begin?!"

Inside the room, Xu Changjun stood above, looking down at the enthusiastic crowd below, and couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

For many cultivators stuck at the peak of the Qi Refining realm, a Foundation Establishment Pill represents a completely different fate, or even changes their future path of cultivation; its importance is self-evident.

If you miss this opportunity, who knows when you'll get the Foundation Establishment Pill again, or even if you'll ever have another chance.

Everyone could see the urgency of this opportunity.

However, from another perspective, the fact that Tiandige was able to put up several Foundation Establishment Pills for auction in a single auction shows just how profound its resources are.

"Starting bid: 1,000 spirit stones. Auction begins now."

Seeing that the atmosphere below had reached a climax, the auctioneer then announced the start of the bidding.

"One thousand and two!"

"One thousand and five!"

……

Many people present were clearly there for the Foundation Establishment Pill, so they were bidding recklessly.

The price soared like a hurricane, reaching five thousand spirit stones before the rate of increase gradually slowed down.
