The Longevity Pill was one of the most precious pills in the cultivation world. As a pill that could extend one's life, there were several grades of Longevity Pills in the cultivation world. The lowest grade was the One Year Longevity Pill. The better ones, such as the Vitality Dew that Lu Ping used to refine the Minor Forging Spirit Pill, were the Three Years Longevity Pills. Above that were the Five Years Longevity Pills and the Ten Years Longevity Pills. Legend has it that in the cultivation world, there were even more legendary Fifteen Years Longevity Pills and even Twenty Years Longevity Pills. However, the amount of heavenly materials and earthly treasures needed to create these pills was truly unimaginable. These Longevity Pills could only be inherited by the sects that had existed since the era of the Seventh Patriarch in the Central Plains.
In addition to those legendary Longevity Pills, the Ten Years Longevity Pill could be said to be the most precious pill in the cultivation world. At any time, in the eyes of any cultivator, Longevity Pills were priceless treasures that were in short supply.
In the blink of an eye, the price of the Longevity Pills had been raised to one hundred and fifty high-grade spirit stones. However, the cultivators in the pavilions floating above the clouds were not very interested in the Longevity Pills. These sects did not have excellent alchemists and Longevity Pill recipes. For a sect, unless it was an emergency, they were more interested in the Longevity Pill recipe than a few Longevity Pills.
Of course, for some sects that did not have a deep foundation, the value of three Longevity Pills that could extend one's life by more than twenty-five years was completely different in their eyes. Although the cultivators who were able to enter the auction today were all at the late Core Forging stage and above, there were also many cultivators who had reached the Transcendence stage as rogue cultivators. This was especially true for some cultivators who were close to the end of their lifespan. Who could say that they would not be able to use the extra twenty-five years of lifespan to successfully break through and extend their lifespan?
Even if they could not break through, being able to live for more than twenty years in this world was already very good.
In the blink of an eye, the price of the three Longevity Pills had risen to two hundred high-grade spirit stones. At this moment, an old voice suddenly came from a cultivator wearing a black cloak: "Old Man bids two top quality spirit stones for these three Longevity Pills!"
As soon as the old man's voice came out, more than half of the cultivators in the auction hall who were originally ready to make a move suddenly stopped talking.
Which of the cultivators present was not at the late-stage of the Core Forging Realm? Only Fa Xiang Laozu could call him "Old Man" in this situation.
Sure enough, everyone's Spiritual Sense left the old man's body as soon as it came into contact with him. Even though the old man possessed a secret technique that prevented them from probing him, the feeling of a bottomless abyss still made them choose to be cautious.
"I also offer two pieces of Supreme Spirit Stones and thirty pieces of Upper Spirit Stones!"
One of the cultivators also covered his face, but he didn't hide his peak Core Forging cultivation. However, his aura was a bit weak. It was clear that he didn't have much lifespan left. He wanted to use these three Longevity Pills to prolong his life before risking his life to reach the Dharma Phase.
The old man in the black cloak looked in the direction of the cultivator. His old voice was emotionless as he opened his mouth and said, "Then three pieces of Supreme Spirit Stones it is!"
The cultivator opened his mouth but didn't say anything. Even though he could offer a higher price, it was obvious that this Dharma Phase adept was also determined to get the Longevity Pills. Naturally, he wouldn't offend Dharma Phase Laozu because of this. Moreover, there were definitely countless rare treasures in this auction. It was impossible that there would only be one type of Longevity Pill.
After the Longevity Pills were successfully auctioned, Dong Laozu took out a jade box and opened it. Inside, there was a yellow stone. He said, "There aren't many cultivators overseas who practice earth-based cultivation methods, but there are even fewer earth-based Heaven and Earth Treasures overseas. This Cang Wo Stone is a mid-grade Earth-level Heaven and Earth Treasure. However, due to its scarcity, its value is 20% higher than other Heaven and Earth Treasures of the same level. Therefore, this auction has set the starting price at 120 spirit stones."
This Cang Wo Stone was a good preparation for Dabao in the future. However, Dabao had just advanced to the Ninth Layer of the Blood Condensation Realm not too long ago. Based on his cultivation speed, it would take him hundreds of years to reach the Sixth Layer of the Core Forging Realm and advance to the Late Core Forging Realm. Naturally, Lu Ping lost interest in this Cang Wo Stone.
The appearance of the Cang Wo Stone attracted a lot of cultivators in the auction hall. Even the forty floating pavilions started to bid for it. However, earth-based Heaven and Earth Treasures were much rarer than cultivators who practiced earth-based cultivation methods.
Lu Ping had once heard from Enlightened Master Liu Xuanyuan that in order to obtain an earth-based low-grade Heaven and Earth Treasure, Enlightened Master Guo Xuanshan, with the help of Tiankang Laozu, paid a huge price and buried it in a secret place overseas for nearly half a year before he was lucky enough to obtain it.
By the time Enlightened Master Guo Xuanshan successfully returned to Zhenling, his entire body had been drained of True Essence. His body was emaciated, and the muscles in his legs had started to rot. His cultivation was almost destroyed. After that, he cultivated in seclusion on Tian Ling Mountain for five years and consumed the Bell Cauldron Pill specially refined for him by Tianlu Laozu.
In the end, the Cang Wo Stone was auctioned for the price of one hundred and fifty high-grade Spirit Stones and two top-grade Spirit Stones.
Although the next few auction items were also rare items in the world of cultivation, none of the cultivators in Zhenling were in urgent need of them. However, Enlightened Master Xuantian and the others were still watching with keen interest. With so many rare treasures appearing, it was normally impossible for them to have such an opportunity to broaden their horizons.
Since the start of the auction, Tianqin Laozu had been sitting cross-legged in the innermost corner of the pavilion with his eyes closed. It seemed that he was not interested in any of the items in the auction hall. Although Enlightened Master Xuanxu and Enlightened Master Xuansen were also paying attention to the appearance of one treasure after another in the auction hall, they were, after all, people with hundreds of years of cultivation and experience. Thus, their expressions did not change too much.
Lu Ping simply split his attention into two parts. One part of his Divine Sense was used to pay attention to what was happening in the auction hall, while the other part of his Divine Sense began to take inventory of the items in his Storage Ring that could be used in this auction.
Before Lu Ping was punished to suppress the Earth Fire, Tianqin Laozu had rewarded Lu Ping with five hundred high-grade Spirit Stones through the sect. However, after four years of consumption, there were not many high-grade Spirit Stones left.
Lu Ping's cultivation was different from that of ordinary people. Ordinary mid-stage Core Forging cultivators could use mid-grade Spirit Stones to support their cultivation. However, the North Sea Wave Listening Technique that Lu Ping cultivated was too overbearing. Although Lu Ping's True Essence was thick and vigorous, allowing him to fight against cultivators of the same level as him, it was because his True Essence was too thick that it caused his cultivation to slow down. In order to improve his cultivation speed at the same rate as ordinary people, Lu Ping had no choice but to use high-grade Spirit Stones to barely achieve the goal of his cultivation.
Thus, after Lu Ping came out from his seclusion, he focused his attention on the few treasure vaults of the Overflowing Seas Sect that he had obtained from Soul Search four years ago.
There were only three secret treasure vaults that Lu Ping knew of. With Dabao's help, Lu Ping successfully infiltrated two of the treasure vaults and looted all the treasures stored inside. However, after these two operations, the Overflowing Seas Sect was finally alerted. When Lu Ping arrived at the third treasure vault, he discovered that the Overflowing Seas Sect had already increased their security. There seemed to be three to four Core Forging Realm cultivators and a dozen Blood Condensation Realm cultivators guarding the treasure vault.
With no other choice, Lu Ping could only retreat. Even so, Lu Ping returned with a bountiful harvest. However, when he returned, Lu Ping was greatly disappointed. These so-called treasure vaults were actually built by the Overflowing Seas Sect to store cultivation resources for Blood Condensation Realm cultivators. Although there were a lot of cultivation resources inside, they were not of much use to Core Forging Realm cultivators.
When he thought about it, it made sense. Most cultivators had storage artifacts on hand. If it was not necessary, why would they build treasure vaults? Which Core Forging Realm cultivator didn't have any secrets that could not be exposed to the public? They only believed in carrying their most precious treasures with them or places that only they knew about. At least, Lu Ping was like that.
The only thing that comforted Lu Ping was that in these two treasure vaults, the cultivators from the Overflowing Seas Sect, for some unknown reason, had placed two storage pouches filled with high-grade spirit stones. Each storage pouch was neatly stacked with 500 high-grade spirit stones. The two storage pouches contained a total of 1,000 high-grade spirit stones. This made Lu Ping's slightly vexed mood instantly turn into joy. With 1,000 high-grade spirit stones in hand, Lu Ping could maintain this extremely luxurious cultivation method for another seven to eight years.
As for the remaining low-level cultivators' cultivation resources, it gave Lu Ping a headache for a while. In the end, he roughly categorized these items and sent a portion of them to the Pill Pavilion. Unfortunately, Fornax Laozu was not at Tianling Mountain at that time. With great difficulty, Lu Ping managed to dig out 150 high-grade spirit stones from Enlightened Xuan Dian. Then, he sent a portion of the spiritual materials to the Crafting Hall and directly paid a visit to Tianjiang Laozu. Tianjiang Laozu was generous and directly threw him 200 high-grade spirit stones. As for the remaining items, Lu Ping thought about it and went to find Enlightened Xuan Yuan of Zhen Ling Side Hall.
Lu Ping knew that as the Mountain Head of Zhen Ling Side Hall, Enlightened Xuan Yuan also had a large amount of spirit stones in his hands. Unfortunately, although Enlightened Xuan Yuan coveted the resources in Lu Ping's hands, he did not have any high-grade spirit stones. Helpless, Lu Ping could only exchange for 1 million low-grade spirit stones. Then, together with the 1.5 million low-grade spirit stones that he had previously accumulated, he wantonly bought a thousand years old spirit herbs after arriving at Fantasy Spirit City. In just half a day, he had squandered 2 million low-grade spirit stones.
After that, with the 200 high-grade spirit stones that Chi Lianying gave him and Lu Ping's own, right now, Lu Ping had about 1,700 high-grade spirit stones that he could squander. In addition, Lu Ping also had 4 top-grade spirit stones that he kept close to him. This was one of his most precious treasures.
Just as Lu Ping was thinking about what he needed, the small transmission array on the jade table in front of Dong Laozu suddenly lit up, and then three jade slips appeared on top of it.
Dong Laozu looked at the three jade slips and suddenly said with a smile, "These three jade slips record three Psychic Treasure Prohibitions. Originally, although Psychic Treasure Prohibitions are precious, to be able to be auctioned at this auction, even if all three of them are sold together, it would still be a bit difficult. However, these three Psychic Treasure Prohibitions are extraordinary!"
Dong Laozu deliberately kept everyone's attention in suspense. After attracting everyone's attention, he said, "I believe that everyone present has heard of Fei Ling Sect, one of the nine great sects in the past. However, Fei Ling Sect also passed down a set of Invisible Sword Technique. I'm afraid that not many of you here know about it."
