Daily random keywords, I survive until immortality.

Yu Huai and his companion were seated when, shortly after, the auction's entry time ended.

The cultivators outside who hadn't yet been able to enter could only accept their bad luck, but they dared not cause a scene at Qingxuanfang. They could only complain that they had arrived too late and leave with regret, without any leniency whatsoever.

The auction was packed with guests, with every seat filled with cultivators from all walks of life, most of whom were at the late or peak stage of Qi Refining.

In the private room above the pavilion, the auras of a dozen Foundation Establishment cultivators emanated faintly, pressing heavily on the main hall.

"What do you think, Brother Yu Huai? You've certainly seen enough of the world!"

Inside the private room, Cheng Bei picked up the dessert that was served, put it in his mouth, and turned to look at Yu Huai with a grin.

As expected of a large-scale auction at the Foundation Establishment level, so many Foundation Establishment cultivators have come.

This was the first time he had ever seen so many Foundation Establishment cultivators gathered in one place. Even when he went down the mountain to exorcise demons, he had only been in a Foundation Establishment elder's team.

Yu Huai clicked his tongue in amazement and nodded, saying:

"The fact that so many cultivators came even without Foundation Establishment Pills shows that this auction has an extraordinary influence."

Haha.

"Brother Yu Huai, these are the items to be auctioned. Is there anything you'd like to buy?"

As he spoke, Cheng Bei handed a book to Yu Huai.

Ok?

Yu Huai picked up the book and began to examine it carefully.

The items sold at this auction were a mixed bag.

There are all sorts of strange and unusual things, such as elixirs and talismans, including many items needed for Foundation Establishment.

Second-tier elixir, longevity elixir?

Could it be an elixir that can extend lifespan?

Yu Huai suddenly saw a pill, which he found very novel.

This pill is a good thing for some cultivators whose lifespan is about to end.

Yu Huai thought to himself, then looked down again.

Although there were no Foundation Establishment Pills this time, there were several Foundation Establishment Spiritual Items, which explains why so many Qi Refining cultivators came.

Ok?

Qingyan furnace?

A first-grade superior alchemy furnace?

Yu Huai continued looking and saw an alchemy furnace, which stirred something within him.

The Nourishing Root Pill he is currently refining is a first-grade high-quality pill. The [large and small furnaces] he used before are no longer suitable, so he has wanted to change to a new furnace for a long time.

The alchemy furnace that appears at auction nowadays must be of high quality, so it's worth making a bid to see if we can acquire it.

Before long, Yu Huai had finished reading the book and told Cheng Bei what he needed.

"A pill-refining furnace? The pill-refining furnace does indeed have a great influence on the pills, but if Brother Yu Huai wants to refine pills, a low-grade first-level furnace is sufficient. Why buy this high-grade furnace?"

Cheng Bei had always looked down on Yu Huai's alchemy skills and was unaware that he was already capable of refining first-grade high-quality pills. Therefore, when he heard that Yu Huai wanted to buy that first-grade high-quality Qingyan Furnace, he was slightly taken aback and spoke up.

Ha ha.

Yu Huai shook his head and smiled:

"Brother Cheng Bei, I am now able to attempt to refine first-grade high-quality pills. First-grade low-quality pill furnaces have an impact on the quality and success rate of pills, which is why I am thinking of purchasing the Qingyan Furnace."

Cheng Bei was quite shocked upon hearing this, considering that he was currently only a first-grade high-level alchemist.

Unexpectedly, Yu Huai had reached this level after only three years of training, which made him feel somewhat ashamed.

However, he didn't know whether what Yu Huai said was true or false, so he asked:

"I wonder what kind of elixir Brother Yu Huai is refining?"

"A first-grade, superior-quality Nourishing Root Pill."

Yu Huai took out a jade bottle and handed it to Cheng Bei.

"It seems I really underestimated Brother Yu Huai. However, the quality of this pill is not very good. The standard for being rated as a first-grade high-quality alchemist in the sect is to be able to refine three kinds of first-grade high-quality pills. Brother Yu Huai still needs to work harder."

Cheng Bei took the jade bottle, glanced at it, and breathed a sigh of relief. He then returned the jade bottle to Yu Huai, showing less contempt for Yu Huai, and spoke.

Ha ha.

Yu Huai knew his own aptitude for alchemy, so he responded and chatted with Cheng Bei for a few more minutes. Before long, the auction began.

On the auction stage, a well-to-do middle-aged man was making polite and perfunctory remarks. Judging from his cultivation level, he was clearly at the peak of the Qi Refining stage.

"I am Luo Guan, the manager of Qingxuanfang. Greetings, fellow Daoists. I will be hosting this auction. I hope that all of you will be able to purchase your desired items..."

Yu Huai looked down and listened for a while. After Luo Guan finished speaking, a gong sounded, and the auction officially began!

"This is the Purple Dewdrop Flower, a water-attribute Foundation Establishment spiritual item. It can be used to break through from Qi Refining Perfection to Foundation Establishment. All water-elemental cultivators should take note. Starting price: one thousand spirit stones!"

At the start, Luo Guan took out a Foundation Establishment spiritual item, causing a sensation in the arena. Even those who were not water spirit root cultivators were extremely excited.

Not long after.

The sound of bidding continued unabated.

Yu Huai watched this scene with great interest.

Soon, the Foundation Establishment spiritual item was bought by a figure in the private room. However, the room was isolated by an array, so no one knew who this person was.

The auction continued, with constant bidding. During this time, many second-tier items appeared, attracting Foundation Establishment cultivators in the private room to bid against each other.

I don't know how much time passed.

"Attention, alchemists! The next item for sale is a high-grade, first-tier Azure Rock Furnace..."

After introducing the alchemy furnace, Luo Guan looked around and said:

Starting bid: 100 spirit stones!

Oh?

finally reached.

Hearing Luo Guan speak on the auction stage, Yu Huai's eyes lit up, and he turned his gaze downwards.

"I'll offer 200!"

"A top-grade first-level alchemy furnace is worth over 200 on the market. You're bidding like this? Aren't you ashamed? I'll bid 300!"

……

There were quite a few alchemists in the arena, and some of them were cultivators who had reached the Qi Refining Perfection stage.

Although Yu Huai has spent some spirit stones on alchemy, he has obtained quite a few spirit stones from killing demonic beasts, so bidding for the [Azure Rock Furnace] is not a difficult task.

In a short while, Yu Huai won the bid for the [Azure Rock Furnace], spending several hundred spirit stones, which wasn't too much of a premium.

Once he had purchased the furnace, a special person brought it up to him.

Now that he has this top-grade [Azure Rock Furnace], he can make further progress in refining the Nourishing Root Pill.

Yu Huai put the stove into his storage bag, feeling quite pleased.

Congratulations, Brother Yu Huai!

Seeing Yu Huai accept the [Qingyan Furnace], Cheng Bei spoke up from the side.

Upon hearing this, Yu Huai clasped his hands in a fist salute to him and said politely.

The auction continued, and just then...

A familiar female voice suddenly called out to bid on an item, causing Yu Huai to pause slightly and look towards the private room from which the voice came.

Pi You?

He's at this auction too?

"This woman has a melodious and ethereal voice; she must be a great beauty."

Cheng Bei, who was standing to the side, looked over and said with a lewd expression.

Yu Huai didn't respond to Cheng Bei's words. Instead, he looked away and glanced at the item being auctioned on the auction stage, keeping it in mind.

Not long after.

This item was then photographed by Pi You in the private room.

After handing over the item with the person who came, she didn't linger and left the auction house directly, leaving the private room empty.
