"If we Foundation Establishment cultivators have a Core Essence Magic Tool, we can challenge those of a higher realm and walk unhindered among those of the same realm. However, Core Essence is extremely rare and almost impossible for Foundation Establishment cultivators to obtain. The Core Essence Refinement Technique gives us countless possibilities to extract the essence from the Yao Dan of low-level demonic beasts. After a lot of accumulation, we can refine a drop of Core Essence comparable to a Jin Dan cultivator. Hmm, the starting price is 10,000 low-grade spirit stones. Each increment must be no less than 1,000! "
As soon as Alchemist Xu's voice fell, the cultivators present began to discuss loudly. Lu Xiaotian's heart shook violently. The Core Essence Refinement Technique. Any Foundation Establishment cultivator who had a Core Essence Magic Tool would have a huge increase in strength. However, what surprised him was that the starting price for such a secret technique was actually so low. He glanced at all the bidders present. Among them, two of the strongest cultivators seemed to have a sneer on their faces.
Could it be that there was something fishy about the Core Essence Refinement Technique? Lu Xiaotian pondered for a moment. The price had already risen to 30,000 low-grade spirit stones.
Regardless, even if there was something fishy, he had to get this secret technique first. Lu Xiaotian also joined the bidding. "35,000!"
Many of the cultivators present turned their heads to look at the sudden increase of five thousand. However, there were still some people who didn't give up. After a while, Lu Xiaotian obtained the Core Essence Refinement Technique at the price of 39,000.
However, after reading it, he understood why the two powerful Foundation Establishment cultivators had sneered. Just the refining method alone had such a high price, and the materials needed were even more astronomical. At least thousands of Yao Dan of the same demonic beast species could be refined into a drop of Core Essence. The demonic beasts in the Full Moon Mountain Range were very mixed. Even if he could find so many demonic beasts of the same species, the time spent was probably not something he could afford.
He had bought a lesson. Lu Xiaotian couldn't help but feel depressed after spending so many spirit stones to buy a secret technique that didn't have much practical use. However, something that made him even more depressed quickly appeared.
"Uh, the Elixir Essence Refining Technique is indeed hard to come by. However, if I can buy the Elixir Essence directly, it will save me a lot of effort. Now, I am offering a drop of water-attributed core essence. The starting price is 100,000 low-grade spirit stones, and each increment must be no less than 10,000. " Alchemist Xu also seemed to feel that the secret technique just now was a bit of a scam. When he pushed the pill essence out for auction, there was a trace of unnatural expression on his face.
Tramp! Lu Xiaotian cursed in his heart. First, he took out a useless copy of the Core Essence Refining Technique. After he sold it, he immediately took out a drop of Core Essence to sell. Wasn't this a scam? However, even though he was furious in his heart, he couldn't vent it out on the spot. After all, no one was forcing anyone to make a deal. Furthermore, the other party's position as an Intermediate Alchemist was even higher than his current position.
"Dan Yuan! As long as I have this drop of Inner Core, I will have an Inner Core magical item! One hundred and fifty thousand! " The Foundation Establishment cultivators present immediately fell into a state of half-madness, directly raising the price by 150,000.
"Two hundred thousand!"
Lu Xiaotian, who originally had some thoughts about the Elixir Essence, couldn't help but be speechless when he heard this bid. Of course, even if it was such a high price, he could still afford it. However, it was just a drop of water-attributed core essence. Even if he bought it now, it wouldn't be of any use. Moreover, it would take a large amount of spirit stones. It wasn't a good deal. He had the Blazing Flame Crystal on him. If it was a drop of fire-attributed core essence, he might be able to compete for it.
After thinking about it, Lu Xiaotian directly gave up on bidding. At this time, the price of this drop of water-attributed core essence had soared to 390,000. After a round of bidding, it was won by an eighth-level Foundation Establishment cultivator with a full beard at an astonishing price of 490,000.
Like many people before him, this man with a full beard left directly after the transaction. He wasn't afraid of thieves stealing, but he was afraid of thieves remembering. Even if he was an eighth-level Foundation Establishment cultivator, if he was targeted, he might not be able to keep this drop of water-attributed core essence.
Then came the Foundation-laying Elixir, and even a Youth-retaining Elixir. Once again, the whole auction reached a peak. However, except for one or two things, Lu Xiaotian didn't care too much about these things. As for the Youth-retaining Elixir, before setting out from the Divine Cloud Palace, he had refined a large number of Power-cultivating Elixirs and also refined several furnaces of Youth-retaining Elixirs. After taking one, there were still two left in the elixir bottle. He had tried to refine several furnaces of Crisis Reversing Elixir. Perhaps because his alchemy skills were still limited, he hadn't succeeded yet. Previously, considering that he was about to leave the Divine Cloud Palace, he didn't continue.
"Alright, the auction has come to an end. However, only a small number of people will be able to buy what they want. Fellow Daoists, you can take out your spirit items and exchange them with each other. Perhaps you will be able to exchange them for something unexpected." A considerable part of this auction had been sold at an astonishingly high price. Alchemist Xu was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. With a hammer, he announced that the auction had entered the final free exchange segment.
Compared to the auction in Chifeng Town, this was a lot richer. Moreover, there was an additional free exchange segment for Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Even in the Divine Cloud Palace, there were few opportunities for so many Foundation Establishment Cultivators to gather together. Moreover, the spiritual objects of the same sect were often a little singular. At this time, the cultivators at the auction came from all directions, so they could really exchange what they had.
"I want to buy a Foundation-laying Elixir. I'm willing to exchange it with a 400-year-old Cloud-shattering Grass. If you don't have a Foundation-laying Elixir, don't bother me! "
"A Spiritual Tiger Puppet of the fourth stage. I only want to exchange it for a Spirit Stone of the upper level of the fire property or an elixir that can quickly restore Dharma power. I don't want anything else!"
A Spiritual Tiger Puppet of the fourth stage was equivalent to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. Lu Xiaotian was shocked. He walked to the front of the Spiritual Tiger Puppet and carefully looked at it for a while. He asked, "Is a Spirit Stone of the middle level okay?"
"Didn't you hear that I want a Spirit Stone of the upper level of the fire property? Get lost. Don't block other people's way. " Seeing that Lu Xiaotian was only a newcomer at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage, the big man with a fierce face glared at him and said unceremoniously.
"An elixir that can quickly restore Dharma power. Is the Energy-restoring Elixir okay?" A bald middle-aged man at the seventh level of the Foundation Establishment Stage came over and asked.
"Sorry, at least half of the Dharma power needs to be restored in a short time." The muscles on the big man's face twitched, but seeing that the bald man's cultivation was much higher than his, he restrained his temper and said.
The Origin Recovery Pill was indeed able to quickly restore magic power, but the recovery speed was not as fast as a mid-grade spirit stone. It was completely useless. It was better to give it to a Qi Condensation cultivator. However, this fierce-looking man was actually able to restrain his temper. Clearly, he was also someone who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Lu Xiaotian shook his head and walked away. He really wanted to take this Puppet Beast that was comparable to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, but unfortunately, he did not have what the other party wanted. He did have some Upper Level Spirit Stones, but only a few Fire Attribute Spirit Stones. It was impossible to exchange for them.
Without hope, Lu Xiaotian could only go elsewhere. He looked at a lot of people one after another. Most of them were exchanging Spirit Grass for some kind of elixir or other Spirit Grass. Lu Xiaotian now only had the Energy-restoring Elixir for the Foundation Establishment Stage. Although the Energy-retaining Elixir was extremely precious, under normal circumstances, he did not intend to exchange it.
Due to hundreds of Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators taking out things to sell or selecting from each other, the whole auction site was in a mess, just like a vegetable market.
"Melting Water Bead, it can allow people to swim in deep water for two hours, disguise their aura as a Water Attribute Monster Beast, and greatly increase their speed underwater. In exchange for two hundred Energy-restoring Elixirs, one hundred of them are Middle Level Elixirs. " In front of a young man with high cheekbones, there was a transparent bead full of Water Attribute Spirit Qi and Monster Beast aura fluctuations.
"Melting Water Bead, it only has the function of hiding and camouflaging in the water. In exchange for two hundred Energy-restoring Elixirs, half of them are Middle Level Elixirs. I'm afraid it is still not enough. Moreover, even an Alchemist would find it difficult to take out so many Energy-restoring Elixirs at once. "
Lu Xiaotian frowned as he looked at the Melting Water Bead in front of him. This Melting Water Bead had some knack. Although it was not used in most cases, it could come in handy in some specific circumstances. Of course, this was also because he had a lot of Energy-restoring Elixirs, so he was a little tempted. If the price could be cut down a little, it could be bought.
"If Fellow Daoist is interested, you can reduce it a little, or you can use Low Level Elixirs."
The young man with high cheekbones spent a lot of time and energy to kill a Water Attribute Monster Beast. Originally, he wanted to sell this Melting Water Bead for a good price, but he did not expect that the usage of the Melting Water Bead was so obscure. In addition, his bid was relatively high, so no one asked. Therefore, after Lu Xiaotian asked, he immediately lowered the threshold. He spent more than two years to ambush and kill the Rank Four Black Water Salamander. If he could exchange it for 200 Energy-restoring Elixirs for cultivation, it could be regarded as making up for the time he spent.
This person was not too scheming. Before he opened his mouth, he heard the other party take the initiative to reduce the price by a lot. Lu Xiaotian smiled in his heart. However, the Immortal Cultivation World was a cruel place. He could not give in because the other party was not scheming. Moreover, this Melting Water Bead was indeed a bit obscure. He only bought it because he felt that it might be useful in the future, so he said with a somewhat embarrassed face.
"How about 120 Low Level Elixirs?"
"That won't do. In order to kill this Rank Four Black Water Demon Salamander, I spent more than two years. 120 Low Level Elixirs is too little. Absolutely not. 150 Low Level Elixirs. "The young man with high cheekbones quickly shook his head and said.
"You killed a Rank Four Demonic Beast. The valuable thing is not just a Melting Water Bead. I believe you also earned a lot. I only have 140 Low Level Elixirs on me. If you don't want it, I can't do anything." Lu Xiaotian shrugged and said.
"This, okay, okay." After hesitating for a while, the young man with high cheekbones saw that no one else was interested in his Melting Water Bead. Although he was somewhat unwilling in his heart, he could only agree.
There were still more than ten days in Full Moon City. It seemed that he would have to refine a few more furnaces of elixirs later. Lu Xiaotian put away the Melting Water Bead and thought to himself. His demand for elixirs was far higher than ordinary cultivators. Most cultivators with deep family backgrounds could take one Energy-restoring Elixir a day, which was already good enough. As for ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators with no background, they could not reach this ratio at all. However, in order not to delay his cultivation time, Lu Xiaotian would take three elixirs a day to save as much time as possible. After all, the speed at which he absorbed and refined the Spirit Qi in the air was too slow. Without elixirs, it was very difficult to increase one's cultivation by one level.
"Seven Star Formation! I'll exchange it for a rank 4 Spirit Weaving Pill or an elixir that can heal the Divine Sense. In addition, I'll add 200,000 low-grade spirit stones or an equivalent Foundation Establishment Pill or Energy-restoring Elixir. " Lu Xiaotian continued to look at the spiritual objects put up by other Foundation Establishment cultivators. Either Lu Xiaotian didn't like them, or he didn't have what the other party wanted. In the end, he saw the bald old man, who had bid for the Spiritweaving Tree, put up a set of array discs. At the same time, his eyes swept over the other Foundation Establishment cultivators, but in the end, he could only withdraw his gaze in disappointment.
The most infamous rank 4 killing formation, the Seven Star Formation. Lu Xiaotian's expression changed. He had already experienced the wonders of formations. Back when he was still in the middle stage of Qi Refinement, he had formed a group in the Full Moon Mountain Range to find an elixir to join a sect. He had relied on a set of Wu Yuan Formation to escape.
However, the conditions for using the Seven Star Formation were extremely harsh. In addition to the consumption of spirit stones, each use of the Seven Star Formation would cause severe damage to the Divine Sense. Only the Spirit Weaving Pill or an extremely rare Divine Sense Elixir of the same rank could heal the Divine Sense. Before the Divine Sense was healed, even a Foundation Establishment cultivator would be able to display the strength of a middle stage Qi Refinement cultivator. As for Qi Refinement cultivators, they wouldn't be able to use this kind of killing formation.
Therefore, although the Seven Star Formation was extremely powerful, very few formation masters could refine it. The price was too high. Spirit Weaving Pills, Soul Nourishing Pills, and other Divine Sense Elixirs were even rarer than Foundation Establishment Pills. Otherwise, a Spirit Weaving Wood wouldn't be able to sell for tens of thousands of spirit stones. After all, it was very likely that it would be wasted if used to refine elixirs.
However, this Seven Star Formation was quite suitable for him. Lu Xiaotian was pleasantly surprised. He had already divided his primary and secondary primordial spirits. Even if the secondary primordial spirit was damaged, it wouldn't affect his combat ability. Moreover, he could refine more Soul Nourishing Pills to repair the damaged secondary primordial spirit. However, it wasn't appropriate for an early stage Foundation Establishment cultivator like him to make such a large transaction in front of so many people.
Lu Xiaotian pondered for a while and continued to wander around the bald old man. One after another, a few more Foundation Establishment cultivators looked at the Seven Star Formation's disk. However, they all shook their heads and sighed before leaving. If there weren't those harsh conditions, it was possible that the price could be raised to nearly a million spirit stones.
After about an hour, the bald old man saw that the Foundation Establishment cultivators present had no intention of making a deal with him. Perhaps they didn't have what he wanted. The bald old man sighed and took the lead to leave. Lu Xiaotian naturally followed him.
