Start from the Martial Arts

The auction venue of Anpingfang City is located in the center of the inner city, on the second floor of the stone hall where the underground fire room is located.

[I hope readers will remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Network →🅣🅦🅚🅐🅝.🅒🅞🅜]

The auction has a high standard. Only those holding a token or a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining can bring one person into the venue.

A cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Refining must verify his assets. If he does not have 300 spiritual stones, he cannot enter the door.

Fang Xiu disguised himself as Li Shan, holding a token, and went up to the second floor.

The second floor is an empty hall. On the ground in the middle, there is a futon every ten feet or more. There are also number plates on the futon for bidding.

Around the hall, there is a spiral staircase. There is also a stand exclusively for VIPs on the upper floor. One by one, the waitresses, dressed coolly and beautiful, carry trays and deliver spiritual tea and spiritual fruits to the stands.

Fang Xiu looked at his token, went up to stand No. 10, and sent the maid away.

In less than half an hour, the futon in the hall below was full of people, and there were even cultivators standing next to them.

Obviously, many people knew the inside information that the foundation-building pill would appear in this auction.

"Thank you all for coming to support us. I am Zong Lan, responsible for hosting this auction."

At this time, a middle-aged beautiful woman in a purple dress with a charming face came to the auction table and bowed to the four directions with a smile on her face.

"The rules of this auction remain unchanged. It is forbidden to threaten with words or spiritual consciousness, collude privately to lower the price, and maliciously raise the price, otherwise you will be held accountable by the three sects."

The middle-aged beautiful woman's words were understated, but no one dared to neglect them.

The three major sects are the sky of the country. If they are held accountable by the three sects, it will be the sky falling and the earth collapsing, and there will be no complete corpse.

"Let's not talk too much. The first item of this auction is the middle-grade magic weapon Flame Blade. It was made by Wei, the shopkeeper of the Treasure Pavilion. It can be called a fine product. The starting price is 200 spirit stones, and the minimum bid is 10 spirit stones each time."

As she spoke, the waitress walked onto the auction table with a tray.

"It's a middle-grade magic weapon right at the beginning!" Fang Xiu was shocked. It seemed that the specifications of this auction were much higher than before.

"I'll bid 210!"

"220!"

"250!"

The bids came one after another.

In the end, the Flame Blade was sold for 310 spirit stones. As a fine middle-grade magic weapon, it is already very expensive?

"Next is the auction of the Qingluo Pill, a mid-stage Qi Refining Breakthrough Pill. Five pills will be auctioned today. Each one is a fine product with little pill poison, which has little impact on the potential for future breakthroughs. The starting price is 80 spirit stones."

The fine Qingluo Pill attracted the interest of some family cultivators.

They can't use it themselves, but their family members can.

There are relatively few bids from casual cultivators.

Five Qingluo Pills were sold for 520 Spirit Stones.

"The third lot is a set of middle-grade defensive magic tools, the Golden Scale Shield! Made from the scales of the first-grade upper-grade monster Golden Armor Beast, its defensive power is not inferior to ordinary upper-grade defensive magic tools. Starting price, 260 Spirit Stones!"

The middle-aged beautiful woman picked up three palm-sized golden scale-shaped shields.

"A set of middle-grade defensive magic tools!" The eyes of the late-stage Qi Refining cultivators present suddenly lit up, and they began to bid.

"Three hundred!"

"Three hundred and fifty!"

"Five hundred and fifty!"

Fang Xiu also became interested, but a cultivator directly raised the price by 200 Spirit Stones, and he put down his raised hand with a look of determination.

He had the Book of Destiny with him, so he could control one more middle-grade magic tool.

If he broke through the late stage of Qi Refining, he could even control two upper-grade magic tools at the same time.

The Golden Scale Shield is not a must-buy.

You still have to spend money on the right things.

Next, the auction items were presented one by one, which dazzled Fang Xiu.

There were many more wealthy cultivators in Anping Market than he expected.

"The tenth auction item is four first-level longevity pills. Each pill can extend life by five or six years. I need to remind you that

only the first pill of the same level of longevity pill is effective, and the effects cannot be superimposed. The starting price of each longevity pill is 200 spirit stones!"

"300 spirit stones!" A wrinkled white-haired old woman bid excitedly, directly raising the price by 100, but did not scare the other elderly cultivators.

"370!"

"380!"

"450!" "Deal!"

The first first-level longevity pill was sold at a high price of 450.

"Huh?

Fang Xiu looked at the stands across the street, and it turned out that the one who bid for the first-level longevity pill was Wei Jiang.

I didn't expect that Wei Jiang had never taken a first-level longevity pill at his age.

"He won't compete with me for the second-level longevity pill, right? '

Fang Xiu's heart sank slightly.

The auction continued, and the subsequent three first-level longevity pills were sold for less than four hundred spirit stones.

"The thirteenth lot, a late-stage Qi-refining breakthrough pill, three purple condensation pills, also a fine product, starting price,

two hundred spirit stones."

"Here it comes." Fang Xiu's eyes lit up. Wu Tian didn't tell him that these three purple condensation pills were also fine products. If the medicinal power was pure, the success rate of breakthrough would be higher.

"Three hundred and two!"

"Three hundred and three!"

"Four hundred and three!" Fang Xiu imitated the previous people and directly raised the price by one hundred.

Longevity pills are basically only purchased by elderly cultivators, and purple condensation pills will be needed by any cultivator in the middle stage of Qi refining.

It will definitely be more expensive later.

"Four hundred and four!"

"Five hundred!" Fang Xiu raised the price by sixty again.

Several cultivators bidding in the hall looked up at Fang Xiu in the stands, gritted their teeth, and did not continue to raise the price.

At this time, a law enforcement cultivator of the seventh level of Qi refining came to the tenth stand and delivered the purple condensation pill.

Fang Xiu opened the porcelain bottle and smelled it. The medicinal fragrance was pure and refined. It was indeed a fine product.

A normal purple condensed pill could probably be bought for 300 spirit stones.

However, although the fine purple condensed pill was expensive, you get what you pay for.

Fang Xiu put away the pill and paid 500 spirit stones.

The auction continued. The next two purple condensed pills were sold for 480 spirit stones and 510 spirit stones respectively.

Then, the 14th lot was four fine small thunder talismans.

Made by a second-level lower-grade talisman master who had reached the great perfection of Qi Refining 12th level.

The power was more than twice that of a normal small thunder talisman.

A cultivator who had reached the great perfection of Qi Refining had twice the mana of a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining, so the talismans made were naturally stronger.

What's more, the one who made this talisman was a second-level talisman master.

If four small thunder talismans were released together, a normal cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining would probably not even have a dreg left.

Fang Xiu was very jealous of the small thunder talismans, but he still couldn't bear to bid.

Because the starting price of a small thunder talisman is as high as 200 spirit stones, which is ridiculously expensive, it is simply a robbery.

The fine small thunder talisman is a fatal threat to him. If he breaks through the Gangjin Martial Saint, he will definitely buy one for self-defense.

But now his speed has reached 60 meters per second, and the maximum speed is 64.

It is hard to say for the second-level body cultivator, but the first-level body cultivator can only follow him and eat dust.

Even if it is a great perfection of Qi Refining and a cultivator of the body, the speed cannot be faster than him.

Anyway, he can't be hit, so no matter how strong the small thunder talisman is, it is useless.

In the end, three of the three small thunder talismans were bought by Wei Jiang, and the other one was bought by a cultivator in a black robe in the hall.

Four small thunder talismans were sold at a high price of more than 1,300.

"The following is the 19th lot, the finale treasure of this auction, the second-level longevity pill! The starting price is 1,400 spirit stones! Each bid must not be less than 50 spirit stones!"

The auction is coming to an end soon.

"Second-level longevity pill? How come it's here?"

Some old cultivators were very surprised.

Generally speaking, those who would buy second-level longevity pills are foundation-building cultivators.

After all, second-level longevity pills only increase lifespan by about ten years, but the price is more than five times that of first-level longevity pills.

If Qi-refining cultivators are wealthy and can afford second-level longevity pills, they might as well save more money to buy foundation-building pills.

For Qi-refining cultivators, longevity pills are not needed before the age of sixty.

After the age of sixty, the Qi and blood decline, and even if they are in a gamble, they will still buy foundation-building pills.

Only Qi-refining casual cultivators who are old and weak, whose lifespan is about to end, and who are all alone, will spend all their money to buy second-level longevity pills.

Otherwise, any younger generation who can cultivate immortality will leave the spirit stones.

"One thousand seven hundred spirit stones!" Fang Xiu directly raised the price by three hundred, because he paid a deposit of three hundred yuan, which will be directly included in the final transaction price.

"One thousand eight hundred spirit stones!"

At this time, Wei Jiang from stand No. 5 made a bid.

Fang Xiu's face darkened slightly.

"Two thousand spirit stones!"

"Two thousand one hundred spirit stones!" Wei Jiang from stand No. 5 said loudly: "If you raise the price again, I won't take it."

"Thank you, fellow Daoist!" Fang Xiu bowed and said: "Two thousand one hundred and fifty spirit stones!"

"You are really rich! You bought a second-level longevity pill at such a young age!"

"With so many spirit stones, you can buy a top-grade magic weapon!"

In the hall, many cultivators looked up at Fang Xiu. Li Shan looked like he was only thirty or forty years old.

"What top-grade magic weapon! The last item this time is the foundation-building pill!"

"It's better to have one less person bidding for the foundation-building pill."

There were also cultivators discussing in the stands.

At this time, the beautiful middle-aged woman knocked down the auction hammer, "Deal!"

The law enforcement cultivator sent the second-level longevity pill to stand No. 10.

Fang Xiu inspected the goods and saw that the second-level longevity pill was emerald green, crystal clear like jade, and the surface emitted a faint fluorescent light.

Just smelling the fragrance of the medicine, Fang Xiu felt comfortable all over his body and his blood circulation was active.

Just as described in the jade slip, it was indeed a genuine second-level longevity pill.

After handing over the spirit stone, Fang Xiu carefully put away the longevity pill.

After six years in Anping Market, he finally completed an important goal.

At this moment, Fang Xiu was eager to return home and wanted to fly back to Changqing Villa to reunite with his wife and daughter.

"The twentieth lot, I believe many Taoist friends got the news in advance and came for this thing! Without further ado, the last lot, the inferior foundation-building pill! It can increase the success rate of breaking through the foundation-building by 10%! The starting price is 1,500 spirit stones!" The middle-aged beautiful woman was excited.

"1,700 spirit stones!"

Wei Jiang bid immediately and directly raised the price by 200 spirit stones.

"One thousand nine hundred!"

The black-robed monk who had just won a small thunder talisman followed closely behind.

"Two thousand one hundred!" Another monk on the fifth stand stood up to bid, it was Yan Shou.

"Two thousand four hundred!"

The middle-aged man on the first stand raised the price by three hundred.

Other cultivators bid one after another.

"Three thousand one hundred!"

The price of the inferior foundation-building pill broke through the three thousand mark.

"Three thousand two hundred...three thousand three hundred...three thousand four hundred....

After that, the frequency of bidding slowed down.

Even in Anpingfang City, there were not many forces that could afford several thousand spirit stones at a time, and they were basically the children of immortal cultivation families.

Among the casual cultivators, there were only a few masters of the ninth level of Qi Refining who bid.

"Three thousand five hundred!" The black-robed monk gritted his teeth, stood up and bowed to the fifth stand, "Please give me some face, Manager Wei!""

"Three thousand six!" Wei Jiang ignored him and said lightly: "I will not give face to those who hide their heads and show their tails."

"Hmph!" The black-robed monk snorted coldly and left with a wave of his sleeves.

"Three thousand six hundred spirit stones? Is there anyone who wants to bid?" The middle-aged beautiful woman looked around the hall and the stands.

There was silence in the venue.

Three thousand six hundred spirit stones, for the inferior foundation-building pill, is already a very high price.

And judging from Wei Jiang's appearance, he is determined to get it.

There is no need to raise the price and offend the other party.

It is really not worth spending more than four thousand spirit stones to buy an inferior foundation-building pill.

The genuine foundation-building pill is only more than six thousand spirit stones.

"Deal!!"

Fang Xiu left the table quickly.

After leaving the stone hall, he just took a few steps and felt the sense of being peeped.

It seems that more than two thousand spirit stones are indeed eye-catching.

Fang Xiu looked around, but found nothing unusual.

He walked out of the inner city without making a sound, turned into the alley of the outer city, and with his speed advantage, he shook off the peepers.

Afterwards, he restored his original appearance and returned to the inner city.

"5% progress, I'm afraid I have to practice hard for a few months..."

Fang Xiu was thoughtful.

He wanted to take advantage of the exquisite purple condensation pill in his hand to break through to the late stage of refining qi before leaving.

But he wanted to go back earlier.

Because in another three months, it would be winter.

The monsters in the Broken Soul Mountains were in the most hungry and food-deficient period, and it was the most dangerous to travel at that time.

If it continued to drag on, another year would pass.

[Kung Fu: Changsheng Jue·Breaking the Limit (100%) (1675 years of power)]

"If you want to leave as soon as possible, you can only transform your power."

The external power broke through, and the Gang Jin was extremely domineering.

The effect of the internal power was much weaker.

In the case that Changsheng Jue cannot continue to break through, unless the power is accumulated for thousands of years, the strength cannot be qualitatively improved.

Now consuming a little power to convert into mana can save time.

Anyway, returning to Yan State, he can absorb the power of the followers to speed up recovery.

Thinking of this, Fang Xiu made a decision and began to convert part of the innate true essence into mana.

Ten days later.

[Kung Fu: Changsheng Jue·Breaking the Limit (100%) (1024 years of power)]

Fang Xiu consumed more than 600 years of power to improve his cultivation to the peak of the sixth level of Qi Refining.

Then he took the Purple Condensation Pill to break through.

[Kung Fu: Qiankun Eight Phases Qi Refining Chapter·Seventh Level (1%))

Half a month later, Fang Xiu successfully entered the seventh level of Qi Refining and became a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining.

Mana doubled.

Divine consciousness increased from ten feet to fifteen feet.

If Fei Kang's pattern bonus is added, his divine consciousness can be increased to nearly thirty feet in a short time, enough to activate two top-grade magic tools.

Although the consciousness of a cultivator in the early stage of foundation building can be projected, it is only forty feet.

He held a thick earth mirror in his left hand, a golden thunder sword in his right hand, cloud-climbing boots on his feet, and a wind spirit robe on his body. The three absolute strengths protected his body.

Unless he encountered a cultivator in foundation building or a second-level monster, no one in the Qi Refining Stage should be able to do anything to him.

"It's time to go home."

"Xianlan is six years old now. I don't know what size clothes to wear. I'd better buy her some fun things."

"And a gift for Jin'er."

Three days later.

At dawn.

Fang Xiu walked out of Anping Market.

He looked back at the town gradually waking up in the dim morning light, and strode forward.

He left home at the age of twenty-eight.

He returned home at the age of thirty-four.
