Keqing, it’s just cultivating immortality, is it that difficult?

"What do you mean? She just guessed what you meant. Isn't it just to intercept it? But since the other party wants to set up an auction house, it is naturally impossible to give it to others so easily."

The same voice echoed in several places, and several True Lords sighed in their hearts.

It seems that I have to go this time. Not only do I have to go, but I have to go secretly because no one wants to have so many competitors.

However, he was told that the more people he pulled in, the more likely he would be to receive a 300-year-old life-extending elixir. This plan was shattered in an instant.

"This girl is really good at taking advantage of others! She's full of tricks!"

"I'm so angry! How can I bid for the Heavenly Secret Stone if there are too many people? But if there are too few people, I won't get a share of the Longevity Pill. The auction house will definitely not be able to bid for it. Do I have to offend that girl in private? Then I won't be able to get the pill!"

I was confused for a while, and I knew exactly what was going on in my heart.

In the end, I could only suppress my little thoughts and let my city lord do the promotion and recruit people.

After all, if you don't pull them, there will be plenty of people coming. How can you hide it? The other party is not a fool.

Now is the time to show your sincerity, not just to pull, but to pull loudly, with a big fuss, so that everyone knows.

Since the little girl and the Lord of Licheng are like this, then let her get it. I just don’t know if Licheng can control so many cities!

But that's not their business.

Keqing's idea is indeed clever. Allies are just allies. It is easy to add icing on the cake but difficult to provide timely assistance.

Even last time, it was just a coincidence, because the situation of the battle was not anticipated. Of course, Keqing did not forget the help of the other party, otherwise she would not have asked them for help.

However... the ally with a carrot hanging on his back was indeed quite powerful. Within a few days, the things to be auctioned at the auction house in Licheng spread out and became known to everyone in an instant.

There was no movement in the first few days. After all, news and actions are delayed. However, as time passed, Keqing could sense that more and more people were entering Licheng, and the movement was getting louder and louder. The news about the auction house was also spreading like wildfire.

Keqing knew that it was almost time. Looking at the situation, those who came now were from nearby. If that was the case, then Baicheng should know about it too, right?

I don’t know whether Diao Mu and the others from Guiyi City will come.

……

……

Just as Keqing thought, the top ten cities also received this news through various sources one after another.

Some people don't believe it, but some people believe it to be true.

And the ones who believed it were precisely those who made special exceptions for Licheng.

Although the incident at the Licheng Auction House surprised them, they felt that it was within their expectations.

"As expected, it seems our guess is correct. Keqing is indeed from Tianzhou. Otherwise, how could she have so many treasures!?"

"Oh, I don't believe that this Heavenly Sovereign can have so many treasures. It seems that it has been confirmed that this person is one of the princes and princesses from Tianzhou, and is very likely one of the important heirs. I just don't know which Heavenly Dynasty it is."

"It doesn't matter which ones. After all, don't they all covet our Hundred Cities?

The Lord Seal covets the spiritual heritage of this land. If you ask me, we still haven't figured it out. They want nothing, so we shouldn't care about them. Look, now they are ambitious and want to occupy a place and establish a reputation through this matter, and at the same time show their fangs to us."

The one who answered was a True Lord from Yin Yang City. Their people became like that because of Keqing, so how could they possibly have a good impression of Li Cheng, not to mention that the other party also found those two evil beasts.

When several cities first came together to give Licheng the title of one of the Hundred Cities, they were strongly opposed to it. However, their opposition was useless because everyone else agreed.

"I'm telling you, Master Ming Sheng, don't be so stingy. He's just a junior. Since we gave him the title of Hundred Cities, we just wanted them to explore and study the relics of the gods for us. Isn't it expected that something like this would happen? After all, the other party didn't intend to hide it. Those celestial dynasties are more arrogant than us. How could they be just a small Hundred Cities? This is expected."

The Heavenly Sovereign of Chiyou City said this calmly, but Mingsheng was unhappy.

"Love doesn't mean you just watch the fun when your juniors have a grudge against the other party. How can you want to surrender to the Celestial Empire?"

"Don't say that. What do you mean, do you want Chiyou City to be your running dog?"

"Who knows? I can't say for sure..."

"Alright! How disrespectful! Why are you being so sarcastic!"

A fierce shout dispelled the excitement in several cities.

Diao Shao, the mayor of Guiyi City, glanced at them.

"We have discussed it before, why are they making a fool of themselves here? If they want to do it, then let them do it. Such a huge loss is a good thing for us, since it will benefit us anyway!"

"Let's leave it at that. I know you have some thoughts, but don't piss her off. Since you know that Keqing has the support of the Celestial Empire, don't be so shameless. Although a powerful dragon cannot defeat a local snake, if you can easily mobilize tens of thousands of troops, then you can fight her head-on."

Diao Shao gave them a cold look and they didn't dare to say anything. Even the True Lord of Chiyou City behaved himself.

People outside say that Chiyou City and Guiyi City are not in harmony, but that is only on the surface. In reality, everyone knows it.

There is a reason why Guiyi City is number one. Not to mention the True Lord, there is half an immortal above it. If that immortal was not in a special place now and could not take action easily, there would be no Hundred Cities. I'm afraid it would not be just one city dominating. Although there are also some other cities, they are not as good as that immortal.

"Now that they know we intend to let them do research, they know what we mean, and we know what they mean. We all maintain a tacit understanding, which is good for us. We all have the same goal, and who says one more competitor must be an opponent?"

"As long as we are in the Desolate State, we have the final say. If we really find out something, won't we get it? It won't be bad at that time. The matter will be settled here, and the rest will be said."

Diao Shao made the final judgment and the matter ended there.

"But those things are really good stuff. If you are interested, send someone there. Since he wants to create momentum, then we will do it, but don't cause any trouble."

"If you don't want to go and feel it's embarrassing, you can let the True Lords and the younger generations go. You can handle these matters on your own."

Diao Shao waved his hand and the negotiation ended.

Chapter 850 It all depends on your sincerity (1w6)

No one outside knew what was discussed specifically, and even Diao Mu had only heard rumors.

They just follow the crowd, saying that the Licheng Auction House has 300-year life-extending pills and all kinds of good things.

Some say it is true, some say it is false, and there are many different opinions.

However, Diao Mu got some inside information and she knew it was true. Li City did have so many good things. But with so many good things, let alone other cities, no one in the top ten would not be tempted.

Well, of course, the main reason is that Huangzhou is poor, and Licheng is too bold to package them all up at once. One or two of them may not seem like much, but when they are all put together, it’s incredible. Who wouldn’t be tempted?

Therefore, she guessed that Baicheng would definitely take action.

Sure enough, not long after, Diao Mu was called over by her father, who told her that this time she would lead the team to auction a few items.

After all, there are some things they also need, and the finale of the longevity pill is the most important.

Who wouldn't want a 300-year life-extending elixir? The key is that you can eat it again if you've taken it before.

"Is... is Keqing really from the Celestial Empire?"

Diao Mu couldn't help but ask.

"That's probably right. Otherwise, this person wouldn't have so many good things. Who else would have such good things except the Dynasty of Heaven, which is so rich and powerful that it would give them to its own heir so easily?"

"In fact, it's not impossible that it's Zhongzhou, but why would people from Zhongzhou come here to build a city? People from Zhongzhou also have magical powers like boundary rules. There are immortals who can do that, but you also know that under the watchful eyes of the public, it is indeed the boundary rules that Keqing promised to appear. It can be said that the other party is from the Celestial Empire."

"When you go there this time, Mu'er, you don't need to please the other party, nor do you need to deliberately target him. Just be normal and just bid for these things in the auction house. It doesn't matter if it's more or less."

"Yes, my daughter understands."

"Oh right! Do you know about Keqing's alchemy ability?"

"This... I have only heard that this person has superb alchemy skills.

She is already able to refine eighth-grade elixirs, and it is said that the longevity elixir was also refined by her this time?"

Diao Mu said in a low voice.

"I don't think it was made by her. There must be someone supporting her."

Diao Shao shook his head. He didn't believe that there was someone who was less than a hundred years old and not only had incredible cultivation skills but also had alchemy skills comparable to a grandmaster.

Not to mention him, even many people would not believe it unless they saw it with their own eyes, because in their perception it is impossible.

Just like the Divine Thunder Atlas, how could one cultivate the Way of Immortality without spiritual roots? This was an act against heaven, and would be punished by heaven.

Otherwise, why do all those who practice cultivation die in the end without exception?

But since the other party is from the Celestial Empire, the so-called Atlas of Cultivating Divine Thunder must be fake?

Diao Shao thought for a moment.

"How about this, you ask around later. If the other party can still refine this kind of elixir, then we should be nicer and express our good intentions."

"This kind of elixir must have special ingredients, and the formula may be unique to the Celestial Empire. But since you can produce one, there must be a second, third, or even more. If it is possible... you understand, right?"

"I understand... I'll see if I can get more pills from him."

"Well, when necessary, don't be stingy with treasures and give some convenience, understand?"

"My daughter understands..."

Diao Mu then took his leave.

As Diao Mu left, Diao Shao chuckled.

"A genius alchemy master? How can there be such a perfect person... The resources of the Celestial Empire are really enviable..."

It's not like the deserted state, which requires hard work, various plans, and struggling in the swamp.

……

……

Not long after, just ten days had passed, and now everyone knew that a glass city had appeared in the wasteland in the southeast of Huangzhou.

Since the name was changed, the city of Li has been helped by a talented and powerful man. It has grown along the way, driven away the beasts, gathered subordinates, and expanded its sphere of influence rapidly. Even its alchemy skills have far surpassed those of Dan City. The elixirs circulating in it are of high quality and low price, and can be said to be a must-have for everyone.

It’s just a pity that the production of such high-quality and low-priced products is not high, and they are sold out whenever they go on sale. Therefore, people usually use the elixirs from Dancheng.

But this does not mean that the emergence of Licheng did not pose a threat to Dancheng's elixirs.

In the past, there was only one Dan City, and most of the elixirs came from Dan City, so Dan City had sufficient bargaining power and responsibility for supervising the elixirs.

However, the appearance of Licheng elixir dispelled this absolute belief.

The elixirs inside were not only of high quality, but also much cheaper. In an instant, the cultivators who had been indifferent suddenly felt...

Oh, this Dan City is such a scam.

Look at the price of elixirs in Licheng, and then look at the price of elixirs in Dancheng, they are both expensive and of poor quality.

Many things cannot stand comparison. When compared, the ugly and expensive ones will naturally be condemned. It is precisely because of this that even though the output of elixirs in Licheng is small, the elixirs from Dancheng occupy a large market share.

But everyone says that Licheng is good, and as for Dancheng...

Nonsence--

A shady thing.

This is how the market works. Once people discovered that elixirs could still be so cheap, Dan City, which used to be the leading city, became the scapegoat.

Of course, they are not wronged.

In addition, Dan City joined forces with the Ten Cities Alliance to attack Li City, and the news of its failure has spread.

Five True Lords took action but were captured, and the Ten Cities Alliance came but were all captured and taken captive. This kind of thing is really rare in a thousand years. Who wouldn't talk about it and make a few comments?

As for the purpose of Dan City, it is said that it is for some mustard seed space in Li City, the secret recipe of elixir or the art of alchemy, as well as the ability to turn the corpses of wild beasts into treasure.

No matter which one it is, the whole thing is spread.

There are even outrageous rumors that the mayor of Licheng will be kidnapped and taken back to be his concubine.

However, although the rumors are outrageous, some people still believe them. As a result, books like "My Pet in the Palm, the Ancestor of Dancheng Falls in Love with You" are now very popular.

After all this, Licheng was already aware of the news, but since Licheng was a place where humans and beasts mixed together, most people didn't have much difference in their views on wild beasts and fallen beasts, so they felt a bit confused.

Therefore, when the Dancheng incident came out, the flow of people in Licheng was actually not that crowded. After all, everyone knew that Licheng had offended Dancheng, and who knew whether there would be conflicts later, so it was better not to get involved.

However, cultivators in the world are profit-driven, and now that the incident of the Licheng Auction House has come out, hundreds of cities have gone there without any hesitation. As a result, the reputation of Licheng has become even better.

What? The auction house has three hundred years of longevity pills, seven treasure lotus leaves, jade reed flowers and other good things.

I heard that Licheng is recruiting alchemists. Those with the best talents can be trained to third-grade alchemists for free. They are also recruiting a large number of alchemists. If you make certain contributions to alchemy, you are likely to be rewarded with a 300-year life-extending pill.

In short, the news was flying everywhere, and in just a moment, Li City was portrayed as the holy land of Huangzhou, as if Li City had everything, cheap elixirs, better welfare, safety without worries, and many natural treasures.

I heard that even the descendants of various families in hundreds of cities went there, and it was said that some secret realm was opened.

Some of the information here is just hearsay, while some is released deliberately.

That's right, this is the news that Keqing led to release. Taking advantage of the auction house, everyone's impression of Licheng is no longer that of a city with good alchemy but few pills comparable to Dancheng, nor is it a wasteland surrounded by yellow

A thin city of sand.

She wanted to leave an impression on everyone, an illusion of non-existence like a holy place, in order to raise everyone's expectations.

People will just follow what the crowd says, and if they hear it many times, they will believe it. Then, some people will come to Licheng as if they were visiting a holy place.
