nChapter 98: Living Pill Manual (1)

nLooking at the lively atmosphere at the scene.

nThe two Zhou Clan cultivators on the stage shouted,””The starting price of a Level One Life Source Magic Tool Inheritance Jade Slip is 30,000 Spirit Stones. Each bid must be no lower than 1000 Spirit Stones. Let the bidding begin!”

n“Boom!”

nA deep bell rang throughout the entire auction hall.

nCompared to the hammer in the auction hall, the main auction hall of the Zhou family used the method of striking the bell to calculate the auction frequency.

n“30,000 Spirit Stones!”

n31,000 Spirit Stones!”

n“35,000 Spirit Stones!”

nSoon, the price soared to 40,000 spirit stones.

nNormally speaking.

nA Level One magic tool inheritance was not worth 30,000 spirit stones at all. It was hard to say whether the Chen family’s Level Two magic tool inheritance was worth 30,000 spirit stones, let alone a Level One magic tool inheritance.

nHowever, the Level One magic tool inheritance that was being auctioned today was different.

nNot only was it a precious life-bound magical treasure, but it was also a spirit-armor type defensive magical treasure. Its value was even higher.

nIn the cultivation world.

nDharmic Artifacts could be divided into offensive, defensive, auxiliary, and other miscellaneous types according to their functions.

nAccording to their commonality, they could be divided into two types: ordinary magic tools and life-bound magic tools.

nOrdinary magic tools were magic tools that any cultivator could use.

nFor example, the various magic tools in the Chen family’s second-grade magic tool inheritance were all ordinary magic tools.

nAs for life-bound magic artifacts, they could also be called exclusive magic artifacts.

nThis magic tool had two characteristics.

nFirst, it could only be used by one cultivator. In other words, it could only be used by the owner of the life-bound magical treasure. Other cultivators could not use it either.

nIn this way, the advantage of a life-bound magic weapon was that even if a cultivator was killed or captured, they did not have to worry about the magic weapon being used by the enemy because others could not use it.

nSecondly, in theory, life-bound magic weapons could be upgraded indefinitely.

nThere were two ways to upgrade a life-bound magical treasure.

nThe first method was to use True Qi, True Essence, or Dharmic powers to nurture it day by day. Over time, perhaps after a few hundred years of nurturing it in the Dantian’s Sea of Qi, it was possible to upgrade the grade of the magic tool.

nThe second method was much more practical. The cultivator had to invite a weapon craftsman to add all kinds of higher-grade materials to upgrade the life-bound magical treasure.

nOf course, in addition to these limitations, the power of a cultivator’s life-bound magic weapon was naturally stronger than that of an ordinary magic weapon. More importantly, the consumption of true qi was lower when using a life-bound magic weapon.

nIf a cultivator used an ordinary magical treasure, it would consume ten percent of true qi. However, using a life-bound magical treasure could save at least half of it, which was five percent of true qi.

nThis characteristic would significantly increase the endurance of a cultivator in battle.

nSpeaking of which, other than some limitations, the life-bound magic tool seemed to have no shortcomings.

nThen why were ordinary magic tools still the mainstream in the cultivation world?

nThis was the reason.

nNormally, a cultivator had to forge a life-bound magical treasure themselves. This required the owner of the life-bound magical treasure to be a weapon craftsman.

nOf course, a weapon refiner could also forge a life-bound magic weapon for others, but the prerequisite was that the weapon refiner had to thoroughly understand everything about the cultivator.

nThis included his dantian, qi sea, meridians, and even his sea of consciousness.

nThis meant that the cultivator had to expose all his secrets to outsiders. How many cultivators in the world would dare to do this?

nEven if there were cultivators who were not afraid of being schemed against and dared to do so.

nAt the very least, you would have to hire an Armament Master to customize it for you, right?

nGenerally, other than the big families and sects, how many itinerant cultivators had the ability to invite a respected artifact master to personally customize a life-bound artifact for them?

nThis was the biggest reason why life-bound magic tools were difficult to spread.

nIn less than five minutes.

nThe price of this Level One Magic Tool Inheritance Jade Slip had soared to 50,000 Spirit Stones, and the price was still rising.

nIn the past.

nChen Daoxuan felt that the itinerant cultivators were really poor. Now, he only felt that the clan cultivators were really rich!

n50,000 spirit stones. Even if the Chen family spent so much money, they would have to think twice.

nThe Foundation Establishment clans and even the Aura Refining clans were all competing against each other.

nHowever, even though the number of Aura Refining clans was the highest, the number of competitors was obviously less.

nThe price soared to 50,000.

nChen Daoxuan no longer hesitated and immediately raised the price to 55,000 Spiritual Stones.

n” Room C-1376 bids 55,000 spiritual stones. Any higher bids?”

nAs expected.

nThe sudden increase of 5,000 spirit stones scared off a bunch of Aura Refining and Foundation Building clans.

nThere was a moment of silence.

n” 60,000 spirit stones.”

nThe new bid broke the silence of the venue once again.

n“65,000 Spirit Stones!”

nChen Daoxuan bid again.

nThis time, the venue finally quieted down. No one continued to bid. It was obvious that 65,000 Spirit Stones for a Level One defensive magic tool inheritance was already a little beyond what everyone could afford.

nThis was already more expensive than a foundation establishment pill.

nWith this spare money, it would be better to buy a Foundation Establishment Pill and think of a way to let the cultivators in the clan advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

nEven if an ordinary Qi Refinement clan advanced to the Foundation Establishment realm, the increase in the clan’s foundation would not be too obvious.

nHowever, at the very least, his name would sound nice. In his dealings with the major families of Guang ‘an Prefecture, others would think highly of him.

nAs for the other changes, there were usually none.

nA Foundation Establishment cultivator in Guang ‘an Prefecture wouldn’t be able to change anything at all; a Zifu Disciple was more like it.

n” 65,000 spirit stones going once, 65,000 spirit stones going twice, 65,000 spirit stones going thrice. Congratulations to the fellow daoist in room C-1376. This Level One magic tool inheritance jade slip is yours!”

n“Boom!”

nHearing the bell, Chen Daoxuan’s anxious heart relaxed.

nI got it!

nThe first item was sold at a high price of 65,000 spirit stones. For the Zhou Auction House, it was undoubtedly a good start.

nThe two Zhou Clan cultivators on the stage also became slightly agitated.

n” Next is the second item …”

nTime passed.

nOne after another, precious treasures were placed on the auction stage by the Zhou family.

nAmong them, there were Level Three and even Level Four spirit ores, high-grade precious spirit herbs, high-grade magic tools, spirit pills, various cultivation techniques, spell inheritances, and immortal cultivation techniques.

nChen Daoxuan seized the opportunity and attacked repeatedly, gaining a lot.

nBut at the same time.

nHis waist pouch was also drying up.

nAfter spending 310,000 Spiritual Stones, he was left with less than 100,000

nSpiritual Stones. He had spent more than 200,000 Spiritual Stones.

nThe auction had been going on for a full 10 hours, and it was only halfway through.

nFortunately, they were all at least Qi Condensation cultivators.

nEven if they sat in the venue for such a long time, they would probably be so hungry that their eyes would faint.

nChen Daoxuan made a rough estimate.

nSuch a long time.

nThe Zhou Auction House had auctioned off treasures worth at least tens of millions of spirit stones. It had to be said that the capital flow of a large clan was extremely terrifying.

nThe Zhou Auction House was only one of the Zhou family’s properties.

nOf course.

nAn auction of this scale would only be held once every few years by the Zhou family.

nMoreover, many of the treasures were provided by the front-line resource carriers. In other words, the majority of the income would probably belong to the Qian Yuan Sword Sect.

nHowever, the Zhou family did get a big share of the pie.

nJust as he was thinking.

nAnother item was pushed up on the auction stage.

nThis auction item was locked in a cage. As the silk cloth on the cage was lifted, a female cultivator with her hands and feet shackled and her dantian confined appeared in front of everyone.

n“The next item to be auctioned is a Foundation Establishment fairy from the Yun Nation.”

nOn the auction stage.

nThe male cultivator of the Zhou Clan revealed a smile that any man could understand. He introduced,” This Foundation Establishment Fairy of the Yun Nation comes from an alchemy clan in the Yun Nation. She’s not a cauldron like everyone thinks, but a genuine alchemist!

nIn other words, this is a Living Pill Manual!”

n“Hahahaha!”

nHearing this introduction, the audience burst into laughter.

nThe cultivators in the Infinite Star Sea, especially those in Cangzhou, hated the cultivators from the Yun Nation to the core.

nAt this moment, seeing this usually high and mighty Foundation Establishment Fairy reveal such a down-and-out appearance, everyone immediately laughed happily.

nInside a cage made of special metal.

nWhen the female cultivator from the Yun Nation heard everyone’s mocking laughter, her beautiful eyes almost spat out fire.

nHowever, not only was her dantian restricted, her limbs were tied up, and her entire body was covered in spells. She could not move at all.

nMight as well.

nShe closed her eyes and silently mobilized the true essence in her dantian, wanting to break through the seal of the seal.

n“Next, the auction price for this Living Pill Manual is
