The family's original plan was for the Twelfth Uncle, Eighth Uncle, and Ninth Aunt to support the auction.
Wang Daoyuan came out of seclusion and rushed to Qingli Market.
The Twelfth Uncle and him would support the auction while bringing along Second Brother Wang Daoxing.
After bidding for the Foundation Establishment Pill, he would let him build his foundation in Clear Glass City. This would also save him from any trouble.
The three of them took a flying tiger and headed to Qingli Market.
With Yun Yi's usual speed, a journey of more than two thousand miles would only take two hours. The price was only forty kilograms of roasted spirit beast meat.
Yun Yi was still relatively naive and hadn't learned how to calculate the price based on the number of people and the volume of goods.
After entering Qingli Market, the three of them first went to Jade Spring General Store and waited for the auction to begin.
Wang Daoyuan and the other two weren't people who could stay idle. If they had the time, they would naturally go to the restaurant to eat and drink.
The current Drunken Immortal Restaurant wasn't like when it first opened. They were afraid that there wouldn't be enough ingredients if there were too many customers.
After opening the trade route in Heyang County, there was simply an endless supply of spirit beast meat.
In terms of spirit wine, the supply of Scarlet Blood Wine was also very abundant.
In addition, the Twelfth Uncle had also researched using spirit grains to brew wine and named it "Spirit Grain Alcohol".
Spirit Grain Alcohol's ability to recover spirit power was naturally far inferior to Scarlet Blood Wine, but it won in the price of two kilograms of spirit stones.
Many drunkards and cash-strapped cultivators were the main customers of Spirit Grain Alcohol.
Although Spirit Grain Alcohol was far inferior to Scarlet Blood Wine, the speed of recovering spirit power was still much faster than Spirit Recovery Pills.
When rogue cultivators went out, fighting was a common occurrence. Being able to quickly recover spirit power increased their chances of survival.
The supply of spirit wine and spirit beast meat was abundant. In addition, Wang Daoyuan provided seasonings, as well as the restored Chinese dishes from his previous life.
The Drunken Immortal Restaurant's business was exceptionally good. Every month, it had more than two thousand spirit stones in sales.
The profits of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant had already crushed the Jade Spring Alchemy Seal Pavilion, and it was still growing.
Other restaurants also came to the Wang Family to secretly learn dishes.
Simple dishes were easy to learn, but complicated dishes couldn't be imitated just by eating a few times.
Now, the chef of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant was Eighth Sister Wang Daoshu.
Wang Daoyuan's restored dishes can't be taught to outsiders. The only one in the family who has the talent to cook is Eighth Sister.
The three entered Drunken Immortal Restaurant, the clan members who were working here hurriedly bowed when they saw the Clan leader and the two elders.
The three of them were only here to eat and drink. They didn't want to cause too much trouble, so they asked for a private room to avoid the gazes of the crowd.
Wang Daoyuan scanned the situation in the restaurant and saw Wang Daoyuan Daoist.
He stepped forward and greeted, "Fellow cultivator Zhao, it's been a few years since we last met. How have you been?"
This familiar person was the Divine Weapon Pavilion's Zhao Liang, the profiteer who sold the Profound Yang Sword back then.
He Uncle, he, and always....
To Uncle Wang Tian, Uncle to the Restaurant restaurant, Blacksmithereen.
He was just a blacksmith. What was the use of stealing dishes?
Zhao Liang was still at the peak of Qi Refinement. Seeing Wang Daoyuan take the initiative to greet him, he hurriedly stood up and bowed. "Thank you for your concern, Senior Wang. I am well."
Wang Daoyuan smiled. "Daoyou Zhao, you don't have to be like this. You and I have known each other for many years. Our ages are similar, so we can call each other equals."
Zhao Liang repeatedly said that he didn't dare. The two exchanged a few words before Wang Daoyuan took his leave and went upstairs.
Wang Daoyuan, Twelfth Uncle, and Second Brother ordered all the dishes of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant, saying that they wanted to know the dishes of the restaurant.
In the end, the three of them were so full that they lay down. In order not to lose face, they circulated their spirit energy and refined the food before walking out of the room.
This meal was paid by Wang Daoyuan with spirit stones. The Patriarch brought two elders to eat and drink for free in their own restaurant. It was too bad of an influence.
If they really did that, the other clansmen would follow suit and the business of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant would be finished.
A few hundred Spirit Stones were nothing to him. He could casually refine a cauldron of Tier 2 Pills or a few low-grade Tier 2 Talismans and it would be enough to pay for this meal.
Two days later, the auction of the Foundation Establishment Pill officially began.
The three of them arrived at the auction house. Last time, Shi Zhenbang came to cause trouble and burned the entire auction house.
Nearly thirty years had passed and the auction house had been restored.
The three of them still went to the private room on the second floor of the auction house.
It was just that the location of the Wang Clan's private room had changed. In the past, it was at the side of the auction stage. Now, it was diagonally opposite the auction stage, right next to the Zifu Clan's private room.
The current location was naturally much better than the previous one.
The auction soon began. This time, the Yang Clan and the Liang Clan didn't come.
The Zifu Realm cultivators in the Netherworld Sect's territory all had the position of Elder in the sect.
Elders of the Netherworld Sect could buy a Foundation Establishment Pill at a fixed price. In addition, they weren't allowed to participate in the auction.
Last time, the Yang Clan and the Liang Clan participated in the auction because the two clans had participated in the battle of Guiyan Valley. Some Foundation Establishment Cultivators had died in battle or killed Foundation Establishment Cultivators of two sects.
Last time, the auction of the Foundation Establishment Pill was in the nature of compensation. Since the two clansmen had died in battle, they naturally could participate.
This auction of the Foundation Establishment Pill was a routine auction held by the Netherworld Sect every sixty years. The Zifu Clan wasn't allowed to participate.
Without the Zifu Clan's participation, the Wang Clan's competitiveness in this auction was one of the best.
With the Wang Clan's current wealth, it wasn't difficult for them to get two Foundation Establishment Pills.
However, they couldn't show off too much. Previously, the seven Foundation Establishment Cultivators in one sect had already attracted the attention of the clans in the northern and central parts of Qingli County.
If they got two more Foundation Establishment Pills, they would have two more Foundation Establishment Cultivators. The nine Foundation Establishment Cultivators in one sect would be too conspicuous.
If they were in the limelight too much, they might attract the jealousy of other clans. In the future, they might be hindered by other clans when doing business.
Once the Netherworld Sect called for more Foundation Establishment Cultivators, the Wang Clan would have to send out even more Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
If they were unlucky and ran into an elder from a foreign sect, then the Wang Clan would inevitably lose Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
The last auction of the Foundation Establishment Pills had emptied out the foundations of many clans. This auction also didn't have a discount, so the bidding was much more peaceful.
Of the ten Foundation Establishment Pills, only the first and the last one reached sixty thousand Spirit Stones.
The Wang Clan got the second Foundation Establishment Pill for fifty-five thousand Spirit Stones.
After getting the Foundation Establishment Pills, the three of them immediately returned to the Jade Spring General Store and prepared to let Wang Daoxing reach Foundation Establishment here.
Wang Shouye specially brought over a dozen formation plates and set up a high-grade Tier 2 defensive formation in the Jade Spring General Store.
The original formations were all high-grade Tier 1 formations set up by the Netherworld Sect. They weren't of much use at all.
If someone dared to cause trouble, they would definitely be Foundation Establishment Cultivators. A high-grade Tier 1 formation could at most withstand two or three strikes.
The spirit vein in the old market of Qingli County was a low-grade Tier 3 spirit vein with no attribute.
The concentration of Spirit Qi was enough to support Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Furthermore, it was suitable for Foundation Establishment Cultivators of all attributes.
Wang Daoxing took the Foundation Establishment Pill and entered Ninth Uncle's cave abode.
Activating the high-grade Tier 2 defensive formation, Wang Daoyuan sat in the core of the formation and controlled the large formation.
Wang Shouye stood guard in front of the cave abode.
Two hours later, a Spirit Qi vortex with a diameter of more than ninety feet appeared above the cave abode.
Wang Daoxing's main spirit root was seven inches and nine fen tall, which was also a triple spirit root. His talent was not much worse than his Third Brother Wang Daochang.
A quarter of an hour later, the Spirit Qi vortex gradually shrank and finally disappeared.
A burst of violent Metal Spirit Qi fluctuations came out of the cave abode. Wang Daoyuan used his Divine Sense to investigate and found that Wang Daoxing's body was shining with a golden light.
This was taking advantage of the remaining energy of Foundation Establishment to cultivate to the third level of Lustrous Golden Body Art.
Wang Daoyuan didn't understand the world of geniuses. When he reached Foundation Establishment, he barely succeeded by using all his strength.
Unlike his Second Brother, who succeeded in Foundation Establishment and still had the energy to cultivate body refining techniques.
Now that Lustrous Golden Body Art was cultivated to the third level, after he consolidated his cultivation and mastered the Sword Controlling Technique, his fighting strength should be comparable to an ordinary third-level Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
