Chapter 129
Ouyang Jinyue looked at Xiao Xiaofan’s fleshy arm with disgust and said,”It’s time for you to lose weight.”
Xiao Xiaofan rolled down his sleeves and said,”Otherwise we can compare who is stronger.”
Ouyang Jinyue snorted and said,”I’m not going to compete with a little brute like you.”
Ouyang Jinyue turned around and walked in a high and mighty manner into the merchant store.
Xiao Xiaofan turned around, lowered his voice and said to Xiao Jingting,”Father, she couldn’t compete with me, so she ran away.”
Xiao Jingting,”…”
Ouyang Jinyue had a special identity so she was seated upstairs.
But Xiao Jingting and Xu Muan were seated in the common seats downstairs.
Xu Muan said to Xiao Jingting,”It seems that several Foundation Building Stage cultivators have come.”
Xiao Jingting nodded and said,”Yes!”
“Welcome to this auction. We would like to present the first item of this auction, the Foundation Building Stage Flying Heavenly Spirit Tiger.”
A seven or eight meter long Flying Heavenly Spirit Tiger was sent up. It was already dead, but the aura remaining in its flesh and blood still made people extremely uncomfortable.
“For this Flying Heavenly Spirit Tiger, we will only accept spirit stones. The starting price is twenty spirit stones.”
As soon as the auctioneer’s voice fell, the guests in the seats started bidding, making the price soar rapidly.
“I’ve heard that the blood and flesh of Foundation Building stage demonic beasts is equivalent to a peerless medicine.” Xu Muan said.
“Tiger skin, tiger bones, and demonic beast core are all good things too!” Xiao Jingting said. The auction house was really something! It was surprising that they could even get their hands on a Foundation Building Flying Heavenly Spirit Tiger.
A cultivator seated upstairs offered one hundred and twenty spirit stones to buy the demonic beast’s corpse.
Xiao Jingting listened to the crazy offer and suddenly felt that the fifteen spirit stones he had were too little.
There were various things in the auction and there was even a pill that specialized in treating impotence. Xiao Jingting originally thought that it would not sell but the price of the pill actually soared to 58,000 taels. Xiao Jingting could only sigh. Such a pill was needed everywhere!
The following auction item was a set of ten spirit herbs. A bundle was placed on the stage.
The auction would sometimes sell several types of spirit herbs in bundles at a discount in order to deal with some spirit herbs that had severely lost their efficacy. Sometimes, someone could find extremely precious spiritual medicines among the bundles sold, but the probability of this was very, very small.
When the auction reached the sixth bundle of spirit herbs, the voice of Spirit Jade resounded in Xiao Jingting’s sea of knowledge.
“Aqua Star, young seedling, can be refined into a Cloud Sky Pill, which can enhance soul power.” A recipe for the Cloud Sky Pill appeared in Xiao Jingting’s sea of knowledge. Xiao Jingting didn’t know how the jade pendant collected these pill recipes but he did not doubt the authenticity of the recipes in the slightest.
Xiao Jingting spent 10,000 taels of silver in the auction to buy this bundle of spiritual herbs.
After getting this bundle of spiritual herbs in the auction, Xiao Jingting spent fifty thousand taels and seventy thousand taels respectively to win two pill furnaces.
When the pill furnaces were sent over, Xiao Jingting heard a voice from the jade pendant in his sea of knowledge about inferior pill furnaces.
Xiao Jingting silently put the pill furnace into his storage ring. The inferior pill furnaces were expensive too!
The auction soon came to an end. The third and second items before the end were magic tools used in the Foundation Building Stage, and they were bought at astronomical prices by Foundation Building Stage cultivators.
“Alright, I know why everyone is here today. Let’s bring out the last item of the day, the Foundation Building Pill, with a starting price of thirty spirit stones.”
Xiao Jingting frowned. If a cultivator in this world wanted to advance to the Foundation Building Stage, this Foundation Building Pill was indispensable.
A cultivator of the ninth level of Qi Practice would live at most for 120 years if they were in good health. If they went out to fight and suffered an injury, it would greatly shorten their lifespan. In general, cultivators at Foundation Building stage would live for two hundred years. Once he built a foundation, he would be far more powerful than a cultivator of the ninth level of Qi Practice.
If a family had a Foundation Building cultivator, the strength of the entire family would change drastically. This clearly showed the preciousness of Foundation Building Pills.
The price of the Foundation Building Pill rose to one thousand and one hundred spirit stones, and finally stopped.
Finally, the few people bidding who were quite vocal were exhausted. Xiao Jingting couldn’t help feeling a bit overwhelmed.
“The Foundation Building Pill is really really expensive!” Xu Muan couldn’t help but exclaim.
Xiao Jingting nodded and said,”Yes! But we don’t have to think about it for the time being.”
“That’s right!” He didn’t know how long it would take to cultivate to the ninth level of Qi Practice. Father Xiao was nearly 50 but he was only at the eighth level of Qi Practice.
Xiao Jingting squinted his eyes. This thing, Foundation Building Pill, was not something that could be bought with money, and even if he bought it, he might not be able to keep it. The person who just bought it was so afraid of being watched that he already walked out with it.
Xiao Jingting stood up and said to Xu Muan,”Let’s go as well.”
Xu Muan nodded and said,”Alright.”
…
“Kid, where are you going?” When Xiao Xiaofan went out, he met Ouyang Jinyue again.
“I’m going to refine pills.” Xiao Xiaofan said.
Ouyang Jinyue looked at Xiao Xiaofan with some suspicion and said,”You want to refine pills, be careful of not burning your hair off.”
Xiao Xiaofan blushed and said,”I’m not that stupid.”
“Many people have lost all their money in alchemy and ended up begging along the street.” Ouyang Jinyue sighed lightly.
Xiao Jingting,”…”
Ouyang Jinyue was right. It was said that the success rate of refining pills was very low. Those alchemists relied on countless spiritual grass piling up. If Xiao Jingting didn’t have the space in his jade pendant, he would not want to engage in such a costly activity.
There were many precious spirit herbs in his jade pendant space, and he did not have anyone powerful backing him up. He was too afraid of selling them for fear of causing trouble, so he had to digest them himself.
“You’re the one who will be begging!” Xiao Xiaofan was annoyed.
Ouyang Jinyue threw a token to Xiao Xiaofan and said,”Kid, if you can’t make ends meet anymore, you can come to the Marquis’ mansion to find me, I can support you!”
Xiao Xiaofan looked at Ouyang Jinyue, full of doubt. “Can you support me?”
Ouyang Jinyue snorted lightly and said,”You’re really insensitive, asking such a stupid question.”
Xiao Xiaofan,”…”
Ouyang Jinyue led the people out.
Xu Muan looked at Xiao Xiaofan, filled with amazement. “Xiaofan, you’re very popular.”
Xiao Xiaofan blushed and said,”Just so-so.”
