When Chen Baofeng sent Wang Changsheng out of the bamboo forest, he seemed to have thought of something and said, "By the way, Brother Wang, if there is nothing else, you can participate in the auction held by the Tai Qing Market before leaving." [Latest Chapter Reading …]
"Oh, auction? Does Senior Brother Chen know when it will be held? "When Immortal Wang heard this, his heart stirred. He asked curiously.
"In a month or so. This auction is held by our sect. It is held once every ten years and is specifically targeted at Foundation Establishment stage cultivators. Our sect will also take out some good things to auction. Some things that require a large number of contribution points can also be seen at the auction. Junior Brother might as well go and take a look.
Maybe you can get something you like at the auction, "Chen Baofeng explained with a smile.
"I see. Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother Chen." Wang Changsheng suddenly understood and thanked him.
After leaving the Thousand Bamboo Valley, Wang Changsheng went to the Mysterious Talisman Sect's Hidden Scriptures Pavilion and copied the Golden Sun Method below the Core Formation stage. He also copied a few secret techniques that Foundation Establishment cultivators practiced. Then, he went to the residences of his two good friends, Zhang Tianxing and Zheng Ming. He planned to visit them and exchange his talisman making experience.
Unfortunately, the two of them were not in the residence. They seemed to have gone out. Wang Changsheng left a voice transmission talisman for each of them and left.
Then, Wang Changsheng went to the Duty Tower and spent the remaining 10,000 contribution points to exchange for a batch of cultivation resources, all of which were suitable for Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.
After doing all this, Wang Changsheng went to the Hundred Medicine Mountain and came to the door of Zhao Xiaoshan's courtyard. He threw a voice transmission talisman into the courtyard.
Not long after, Zhao Xiaoshan opened the door and walked out, leading Wang Changsheng into the room.
"Brother Wang, I haven't seen you for a year and you have succeeded in Foundation Establishment," Zhao Xiaoshan looked down at Wang Changsheng and said with a smile.
"Hehe, Senior Brother Zhao has also succeeded in Foundation Establishment. Same to you. "Wang Changsheng scanned with his Divine Sense and found that Zhao Xiaoshan had also succeeded in Foundation Establishment. His spiritual power was even stronger than his.
"Hehe, I heard that Brother Wang won first place in the major competition. It's really enviable." Zhao Xiaoshan smiled and said with some envy. then he thought of something and asked, "By the way, Brother Wang should leave the sect to gain experience! Is Junior Brother going back to Ningzhou? You and I are from the same hometown, do you want to go together? "
"When are you leaving?"
"We'll be leaving in a few days. Apart from the two of us, there are also a few fellow disciples from the other branches. They've long heard of Junior Martial Brother's great name, so we'll introduce them to you.
When Immortal Wang heard this, he was a bit moved. After a bit of hesitation, he asked, "Why are you in such a hurry? Can't you wait a few days? "
"Zhao Xiaoshan's not to Xiaoshan to '?". Junior Brother can't leave? "Zhao Xiaoshan saw Wang Changsheng's hesitant expression and asked.
"I heard that there will be an auction in Tai Qing City in a month. I want to go and see it."
"I also heard about the auction. If it wasn't for the urgent matter at home, I would have stayed to participate." Zhao Xiaoshan showed a regretful expression.
"Since Junior Brother is going to participate in the auction, then we will leave first. But if Junior Brother returns to Ningzhou, you must come to the Green Wood Cliff to find me." Zhao Xiaoshan seemed to think of something and reminded.
"That's for sure." Wang Changsheng nodded.
Next, Wang Changsheng and Zhao Xiaoshan chatted. When Zhao Xiaoshan learned that Wang Changsheng was a disciple of a Core Formation stage cultivator, he was surprised and his tone was much more friendly.
Half an hour later, Zhao Xiaoshan personally sent Wang Changsheng out of the door.
After leaving the Hundred Herbs Mountain, Immortal Wang left the sect and flew towards Grand Clarity Market on his artifact.
When Wang Changsheng arrived at Tai Qing City, the sky was already dark. He found an inn and stayed.
After closing the door, Wang Changsheng sat cross-legged on the bed. He took out the jade slip that recorded the Golden Sun Technique and looked at the contents inside.
The Golden Sun Technique had a total of 13 layers. It could be cultivated from the Qi Condensation stage to the legendary Spirit Formation stage. The first three layers could be cultivated by cultivators in the Qi Condensation stage. The fourth to sixth layers could only be cultivated by cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage. After the first three layers were cultivated successfully, one could use spiritual power to condense spiritual armor. The defensive ability of the spiritual armor was comparable to a mid-grade defensive magic tool.
After successfully cultivating the fourth level, one would be able to instantly condense Spirit Armor. After cultivating to the sixth level, the defensive ability of the Spirit Armor would be comparable to a top-grade defensive Dharma Artifact. After cultivating to the seventh level, the condensed Spirit Armor would be comparable to an ordinary defensive Dharma Artifact.
There were many disciples who chose the Golden Sun Technique as their main cultivation method. Unfortunately, only one disciple who cultivated this method managed to condense Yuanying and passed away thousands of years ago. But then again, not to mention condensing Yuanying, most cultivators would find it difficult to even form their core. It had to be known that out of ten Qi Condensation stage cultivators, only one could successfully enter the Foundation Establishment stage. Even a hundred Foundation Establishment stage cultivators might not be able to enter the Core Formation stage.
Thus, many Foundation Establishment stage cultivators who chose the Golden Sun Technique as their main cultivation method did so because of its ability to condense spiritual armor and its reputation as their sect's secret technique. Wang Changsheng chose the Golden Sun Technique as his main cultivation method because of these two reasons.
Although Wang Changsheng was a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, he still wanted to cultivate from the first layer. This way, his foundation would be more solid.
Wang Changsheng took a deep breath and began to cultivate according to the first layer of the Golden Sun Technique.
A month later, Wang Changsheng was still sitting cross-legged on his bed with his eyes slightly closed.
Wang Changsheng suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes flashed with a sharp light. At the same time, a golden light appeared on the surface of his body, protecting his body.
What was different from common defensive barriers was that the golden radiance wasn't oval in shape. It was as if it grew from Wang Changsheng's body, even the clothes on his body were isolated by the golden radiance. His entire body was golden and brilliant, exceptionally eye-catching.
Wang Changsheng hesitated for a moment. His right hand reached for the storage pouch at his waist and a shimmering red sho appeared.
A sho appeared in his hand and he poured his magic power into it.
The sho's surface flashed with red light and pierced towards his left arm.
"Clang!" The sound of metal colliding could be heard.
The sho was blocked outside of the golden light.
Seeing this, Wang Changsheng nodded in satisfaction.
The sho was a mid-grade magic tool. It was already very good that a spirit armor condensed from magic power could block a mid-grade magic tool's attack. He just didn't know if he could block a peak grade magic tool's attack after cultivating to the sixth layer.
Immortal Wang had copied the experiences of several Foundation Establishment cultivators when they practiced the Golden Sun Art. In addition, he had practiced a metal-attribute cultivation method before he entered the Foundation Establishment Realm, so his cultivation progress was extremely fast. In just one month, he had already reached the third layer. If he continued at this speed, it wouldn't take him too long to reach the late stage of Foundation Establishment Realm. However, this was just wishful thinking. The jade slip mentioned that some talented disciples who had entered the Foundation Establishment Realm and practiced the Golden Sun Art would also make rapid progress. There were even some who reached the fourth layer within a month.
This was a common problem with many cultivation methods. It was easy to cultivate at the beginning, but it became more difficult and required more time as one progressed.
Calculating the time, the auction would begin in a few days. It was also time to prepare for his return home.
Thinking of this, Wang Changsheng pushed open the door and went out. He went to the Tai Qing Pagoda.
After an hour, Wang Changsheng returned to the inn. The spirit stones in his storage bag were less than half. There were dozens of mid-grade and high-grade magic tools and some pills for Qi Condensation stage cultivators. These were all gifts he brought for his clan. With these things, he believed that the overall strength of his clan would increase a lot.
Ten years ago, Wang Changsheng secretly left Ning Zhou. He encountered many dangers before arriving at Feng Zhou. After passing through many tests, he became a disciple of the Taiqing Palace. Ten years later, not only did he become a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator, he also became a disciple of a Core Formation stage cultivator. Thinking of this, Wang Changsheng's heart was somewhat proud. If he had stayed in Ning Zhou, not to mention becoming a disciple of a Core Formation stage cultivator, it would have been difficult for him to even reach Foundation Establishment. Fortunately, he didn't stay in Ning Zhou, so he had today's achievements. With his current status and cultivation, perhaps the clan leaders of the major cultivation clans in the Yueyang Mountain Range would have to be polite to him.
Of course, it was still too early to think about this. Everything would have to wait until he returned to Ning Zhou.
Three days later, the auction finally began.
Although it was only an auction for Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, relying on the reputation of the Taiqing Palace and the vigorous publicity in advance, it still attracted many cultivators to participate. Of course, most of them were disciples of the Taiqing Palace. A small number of them were from other cultivation forces or Rogue Cultivators.
The streets were filled with people, bustling with activity, extremely lively. Immortal Wang made his way through the crowd, and after making three turns, he arrived at a spacious bluestone plaza. There was a circular building more than thirty meters tall in the plaza.
The entire building occupied several acres. It was built with a type of white rock. The cornices and arches on each floor were carved with many lifelike and rare beasts. It looked extremely exquisite.
On the lintel at the bottom of the building, a silver plaque could be seen in the distance. On the plaque, the three golden words "Tai Qing Pavilion" were unusually conspicuous.
Tai Qing Pavilion. From the name, one could tell that it was the property of the Taiqing Palace. Tai Qing Pavilion was usually not open to the public. Only the place where the auction was held was open to the public.
At this time, a large number of cultivators were constantly walking into Tai Qing Pavilion. In order to prevent people from causing trouble, several disciples of the Taiqing Palace were sent to guard the entrance.
In the center of the hall was a circular platform. On the platform was a white jade table. Many people walked up the stairs on the left, but more people stayed in the hall.
At this time, it seemed that it was still early for the auction. There were not many people in the hall, only a few hundred people. However, the number of people was constantly increasing. Some familiar people even gathered together and whispered.
Wang Changsheng found an empty seat near the front and sat down. He closed his eyes and rested.
After an unknown period of time, three loud bell tolls echoed throughout the hall. The auction had begun.
Wang Changsheng opened his eyes and looked over. He discovered that a middle-aged scholar with a fair complexion had appeared on the round platform in the center of the hall. Although this person was young, he was a late stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
This was very normal. Those who could appear here were all Foundation Establishment cultivators. If the person presiding over the auction didn't have a powerful strength, he might not be able to control the situation.
"I am Huang Maocai, the person in charge of this auction. I won't say much. The highest bidder wins. I think everyone is impatient. I now announce the start of the auction." After the middle-aged scholar said a few words, he lightly coughed and announced the start of the auction.
Although the middle-aged scholar's voice was not loud, with the use of Fa Li, everyone heard it clearly.
"The first item of this auction is the Black Flame Saber. It is a top-grade magic tool refined from the claws of the second-grade demon beast, the Black Flame Spider. The starting price is five hundred spirit stones. Each increase must not be less than fifty spirit stones." As the middle-aged scholar spoke, he took out a black throwing knife from his storage pouch.
Wang Changsheng currently had five top-grade magic tools, three for offense and two for defense. He also had three talisman treasures and several mid-grade talismans. Naturally, he was not interested in this Black Flame Saber. Although he had a lot of spirit stones, he still needed to use them in crucial situations.
Wang Changsheng was not interested, but that did not mean that others were not interested.
"Six hundred spirit stones."
"I bid seven hundred."
"Nine hundred spirit stones."
As soon as the middle-aged scholar's voice fell, many people immediately shouted a price.
This top-grade magic tool "Black Flame Saber" was finally bought by a cultivator wearing a black cloak for one thousand two hundred spirit stones.
The middle-aged scholar waited for this person to return to his seat. With a flip of his hand, a white pearl the size of a longan appeared in his hand. He opened his mouth and introduced it.
"The second item is the Heavenly Crystal Pearl. It is a top-grade defensive magic tool. When activated, it can release a twenty foot wide barrier. Even top-grade offensive magic tools cannot damage it in the slightest. The starting price is seven hundred spirit stones. Each increase must not be less than one hundred spirit stones."
Defensive magic tools, especially top-grade ones, were extremely rare. Thus, many cultivators began to bid.
"One thousand spirit stones."
"One thousand one hundred."
"One thousand five hundred spirit stones."
Wang Changsheng was also somewhat moved by this top-grade magic tool. He said, "I bid one thousand seven hundred spirit stones."
"I bid two thousand." A fat middle-aged man sitting in front of Wang Changsheng stood up and said.
For Wang Changsheng, two thousand spirit stones for a top-grade magic tool was not worth it. Thus, he did not speak again.
Hearing the high price of two thousand spirit stones, the others also gave up on bidding.
After the fat man paid the spirit stones, he returned to his seat with a look of ecstasy on his face.
Next, the middle-aged scholar took out several top-grade magic tools and a few mid-grade talismans. They were all sold at high prices by the enthusiastic cultivators, igniting the atmosphere in the hall.
"Five stalks of Illusory Sun Grass that are four hundred years old will be auctioned together. The base price will be seven hundred spirit stones, and each increment must not be lower than two hundred spirit stones." After the middle-aged scholar finished speaking, he shook his sleeve and five identical dark green jade boxes appeared on the jade table. When the boxes were opened, one could see a stalk of red grass that was about a foot long, and a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out from them.
"I bid two thousand spirit stones." When Wang Changsheng saw the five stalks of spirit medicine, his eyes lit up. Four-hundred-year-old spirit medicine was very rare in the market. If it weren't for the auction, he would not have seen it. In order to prevent others from bidding, he directly called out a high price. In the market, a stalk of four-hundred-year-old spirit medicine was generally sold for around three hundred spirit stones. If he let others bid, the price could be even higher. Rather than that, he might as well call out a high price from the beginning and scare off some bidders.
"I bid two thousand two hundred." A pleasant female voice came from behind Wang Changsheng.
"Two thousand five hundred." When Wang Changsheng heard this, he frowned and added three hundred spirit stones.
"Two thousand seven hundred." The female voice sounded again.
Wang Changsheng frowned and hesitated for a moment before turning his head to look behind him.
There was only one female behind Wang Changsheng. She was around eighteen years old with delicate facial features and snow-white skin. She wore a long black dress and her beautiful black hair draped over her shoulders. Several spirit beast pouches hung from her waist. Her cultivation was at the mid Foundation Establishment stage.
When she saw Wang Changsheng looking over, she glared at him and shouted, "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen Mei?
What? Look again? Do you think I won't gouge your eyes out? "
