Chapter 173: Millennium Elixir, Lian Gets Two Treasures [Subscribe]

Lingzhou, Donglingfang Market.

When Zhou Chun came here again after a few years, his mentality was completely different from before.

At that time, he had just broken through to the foundation-building stage and had not yet switched to practicing any techniques. His spiritual pet, the Silver Lightning Python, had not yet been promoted to the second level. He was very weak and did not dare to go out alone.

But now, not only has he successfully transformed himself to practice the top-level martial art "Golden Tripod Mysterious Art", his pet Silver Lightning Thunder Python has also been promoted to a second-level monster. He can also stimulate the potential of his bloodline through secret techniques, and burst out with powerful strength comparable to that of a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building.

All these combined have given him the confidence to face the cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage alone.

What's more, he brought the Vulcan Jackal with him this time.

So after entering Dongling Market again, Zhou Chun had no intention of hiding his identity and went directly to a store called "Jinji Grocery Store" in the market.

It was this store that revealed the news about the underground auction to the Zhou family.

Now, the "Touch of Despair" produced by Zhou Jia Lingshouzhai has been sold to several nearby states, and Jinji Grocery Store is a supplier who has taken the initiative to come to the store to stock the product.

At that time, the condition for the Zhou family to supply goods was to exchange some business information.

Zhou Chun entered the grocery store at this time, explained his purpose, and quickly got the token and meeting address for entering the underground auction from the shopkeeper.

After getting the token and address, he left the grocery store and went to Master Jiang's pharmacy.

The pharmacy was still open at this time, but the owner had been replaced by a middle-aged woman.

Zhou Chun looked outside the store for a while before turning around and leaving.

Although he wanted to take revenge on Master Jiang, he knew that he couldn't be too obvious, otherwise no one would be fooled by him unless they were stupid enough.

In short, his main task this time is to purchase the Foundation Establishment Pill.

For the next five or six days, Zhou Chun stayed in the inn in Donglingfang City and didn't go anywhere else.

When the day of the underground auction arrived, he took the token to the meeting place, and then went through a journey similar to the first time he participated in the underground auction. His perception was blinded throughout the journey and he was taken to an underground cave hall.

The difference is that the number of cultivators participating in the underground auction this time is more than that time, and there are even two Purple Mansion Stage cultivators who did not conceal their cultivation level.

This situation also made Zhou Chun secretly frightened. He felt that the treasures in this auction might not be ordinary.

Sure enough, as the auctioneer began the auction, one after another high-quality treasures were taken out for auction.

Compared with the auctions Zhou Chun had participated in before, the quality of the treasures this time was obviously much higher.

"The starting price for one Foundation Building Pill is five thousand spirit coins, and each bid must not be less than one hundred spirit coins."

It was only the eighth treasure, the Foundation Establishment Pill required for Zhou Chun's mission, that was put up for auction.

"Seven thousand spirit coins!"

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, he was the first to call out the price, raising it to seven thousand on the spot.

This kind of behavior also attracted a lot of attention.

However, although this price is not low, it is still lower than the price of the Foundation Establishment Pill that Zhou Chun sold at the last underground auction.

"I'll offer 7,500 spirit coins!"

A slightly hoarse female voice suddenly sounded, drowning out Zhou Chun's bid.

Soon, several more voices were heard, and the price was quickly raised to eight thousand spirit coins.

"Nine thousand spirit coins!"

Zhou Chun spoke again, his tone firm and powerful, as if he was determined to win.

This price has already exceeded the transaction price of the Foundation Establishment Pill at the last underground auction he participated in.

If it weren't for the recent improvement in the Zhou family's financial situation, and the fact that the sooner Zhou Zhengyuan built his foundation, the better for the family, Zhou Chun probably wouldn't have the confidence to bid at this time.

But what he didn't expect was that after the price was called out, the female voice that had previously drowned out his voice was still following.

"I'll offer nine thousand five hundred spirit coins!"

The woman's voice was just as steady, as if she was far from reaching her psychological limit.

Zhou Chun couldn't help but frown and didn't bid for a while.

At this time, other competitors seemed to think that the price was too high and no one bid anymore.

"Nine thousand five hundred spirit coins at a time!"

"Nine thousand five hundred spirit coins twice!"

"Nine……"

When the auctioneer was about to finish his final words, Zhou Chun finally spoke again.

"Nine thousand nine hundred spirit coins!"

After calling out the price, he looked towards the female cultivator.

The other person was wearing a face-covering hat like him, and a loose robe on the outside, so it was impossible to tell what his age or appearance was.

However, his cultivation level was one small realm higher than his, and he was a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building.

"I'll give you 10,000 spirit coins!"

Sure enough, the female cultivator raised the price again without hesitation.

Now Zhou Chun had no choice but to give up.

It’s not that he can’t keep up, it’s just that there’s no need to keep going.

The female cultivator's determination to win is even stronger than his, and I'm afraid the funds she has prepared will not be small.

So the foundation-building pill was finally bought by the female cultivator at the price of 10,000 spirit coins.

After the Foundation Establishment Pill, a few more treasures passed by, and suddenly the auctioneer took out something that Zhou Chun cared about.

"A thousand-year-old Polygonatum sibiricum, starting price is five thousand spirit coins, each bid increase must not be less than one hundred spirit coins!"

It turned out to be a thousand-year-old elixir!
Zhou Chun looked at the item displayed by the auctioneer in surprise.

It was a plant of Polygonatum sibiricum of excellent quality and extremely rich spiritual power, a thousand-year-old elixir.

In the world of cultivating immortals, once a spiritual medicine reaches the age of a thousand years, it will hardly appear in the eyes of low- and middle-level cultivators.

Those high-level monks have been purchasing this thousand-year-old elixir all year round, and they always pay very high prices.

There is a saying in the world of immortal cultivation: if you don’t know how to give gifts to high-level cultivators, then just give them thousand-year-old elixirs.

No high-level cultivator would complain that a thousand-year-old elixir is not of high enough quality.

The appearance of this thousand-year-old elixir quickly attracted the two Purple Mansion Stage cultivators to join the bidding.

It seemed as if the two of them came here just for this thing.

Seeing this, the other cultivators were powerless to compete with the two even if they wanted to take action.

In the end, they could only watch as the spiritual medicine was bought by a Purple Mansion cultivator for eight thousand three hundred spiritual coins.

Compared with the prices of those elixirs that are less than a thousand years old, the difference in this price is extremely large.

Moreover, after the two Purple Mansion monks had determined the results of the thousand-year-old elixir, they turned around and left the underground cave hall, as if they had no interest in the subsequent auction.

"I understand. I guess these two Purple Mansion cultivators had their eyes on this spiritual medicine beforehand, and they didn't want to offend anyone who held the spiritual medicine, so they used the underground auction to attract them, letting them support the auction while letting them compete with their financial strength!"

There was a gleam of light in Zhou Chun's eyes, and he seemed to have figured out the reason why this thousand-year-old elixir appeared.

After the thousand-year-old elixir, not long after, another thing came into Zhou Chun's sight.

"The second-level top-grade magical weapon [Sun Shining Golden Wheel] was made by a master weapon refiner from the Yanyang Sect. It is a brand new magical weapon and has never been refined before."

At the auction table, the auctioneer introduced the origin of the magic weapon in his hand while injecting a little magic power into it to activate it.

All of a sudden, the golden wheel magic weapon in his hand emitted a golden light, and it was patrolling in the sky like a golden sun, emitting an incomparable fierce momentum.

The auctioneer continued, "According to the weapon refining master, this item was originally a custom-made magic weapon for a late-stage foundation-building cultivator of the Moon Wheel Sect. Due to some reasons, he was unable to pay for the follow-up expenses, so he disposed of it on his own. Therefore, you can absolutely trust the true power of this item!"

After he finished speaking, he put away the magic weapon and then announced the auction reserve price in a deep voice.

"A second-grade, top-grade magical weapon, [Sun-Shining Golden Wheel], with a starting price of four thousand spirit coins. Each bid increase must not be less than one hundred spirit coins."

Generally, a second-level low-grade magic weapon can be purchased with two to three thousand spirit coins. However, the price of a second-level high-grade magic weapon is naturally much higher, not to mention the exquisite magic weapon that appears at this auction.

Therefore, the starting price of four thousand spirit coins quickly attracted bidding from many cultivators.

Although Zhou Chun now has several magical weapons, he still wants this [Sun-Shining Golden Wheel] very much.

Not only because this item reminded him of the [Moon Blade Meteor Wheel] magic weapon that had accompanied him for a long time, but also because this item was indeed quite suitable for him.

He had used this kind of magic weapon before and had rich experience in using it. Moreover, compared to the "Flying Dragon Snatch" in his hand, this weapon was more suitable for frontal attacks.

The magical weapon "Flying Dragon Snatch" seemed more like a magical weapon customized to facilitate combat after the monks of the Dragon Transformation Sect performed the "Secret of Dragon Transformation".

Just like what the auctioneer said, the monks of the Moon Wheel Sect asked the weapon-making master of the Yan Yang Sect to customize this kind of Wish Wheel magic weapon, if what the auctioneer said was true.

"Six thousand three hundred spirit coins!"

When there were only two or three bidders left, Zhou Chun finally made his move.

"Six thousand five hundred spirit coins!"

"Six thousand nine hundred spirit coins!"

"Seven thousand five hundred spirit coins!"

Several monks and Zhou Chun were competing with each other, and the price kept rising.

Finally, Zhou Chun became impatient and shouted, "Eight thousand eight hundred spirit coins!"

Suddenly, the underground cave hall became quiet.

This price is really not cheap to buy a magic weapon.

After a long silence, someone shouted again: "Nine thousand spirit coins!"

Zhou Chun heard this and immediately shouted: "Nine thousand nine hundred spirit coins!"

This momentum also put the person who made the bid under great pressure.

After a while, he continued to shout: "Ten thousand spirit coins!"

"One hundred and eight hundred spirit coins!"

Zhou Chun followed closely without any hesitation.

So the person who raised the price fell completely silent and did not follow suit.

"Ten thousand and eight hundred spirit coins at a time!"

"One hundred and eight hundred spirit coins twice!"

"One hundred and eight hundred spirit coins three times, deal!"

Everything was settled only when the auctioneer shouted "deal".

After Zhou Chun went on stage to hand over the spiritual coins and put the magic weapon in his pocket, he was filled with emotion.

He hadn't even warmed up to these ten thousand spirit coins before he spent them again.

It’s really easy to make money and easy to spend money!

After spending most of his fortune in this way, Zhou Chun had decided to just be a spectator and wait until the underground auction was over.

Not long after, another item appeared, forcing him to join the fight again.

"The starting price for a plant of Chijingzhi that is eight hundred years old is two thousand spirit coins, and each bid increase must not be less than one hundred spirit coins."

As the auctioneer took out the new item for auction, Zhou Chun's eyes were immediately fixed on that item.

He had obtained a magical medicine called Chijingzhi before, but it was only two hundred years old.

This eight-hundred-year-old red-jing ganoderma is naturally worth several times more than that one.

Although he could not use this kind of elixir, he knew clearly how much the Li family wanted it.

If this eight-hundred-year-old Chi Jing Ganoderma is used as the main ingredient to refine the Li family's secret elixir "Chi Jing Bao Dan", its effect in breaking through bottlenecks will definitely be much stronger than the elixir refined with the Chi Jing Ganoderma that is two or three hundred years old.

So when this 800-year-old red-jing ganoderma appeared, Zhou Chun was determined to get it.

However, many cultivators also care very much about such precious medicines.

After all, the elixir Chijingzhi is also the material for refining many other elixirs that can improve magical powers.

As a result, the price quickly rose steadily, attracting more than a dozen monks to scramble for it.

When Zhou Chun saw this situation, he could only adopt a wait-and-see strategy.

"Five thousand two hundred spirit coins!"

Suddenly, as a somewhat old voice sounded, the underground cave hall suddenly became quiet.

This price is almost equivalent to the market price of the Foundation Establishment Pill, although that is something that is out of stock.

For a magical medicine that is only 800 years old, many people have to think carefully about whether it is worth it.

But when Zhou Chun heard this voice, his eyes suddenly focused.

"This voice..."

There was a gleam in his eyes as he quietly looked at the person who made the bid.

The other person was wearing a black robe, and his face was hazy with a green glow, so his true features could not be seen clearly.

However, looking at that figure, coupled with the familiar voice just now, Zhou Chun couldn't help but think of someone.

"Master Jiang, is it really you?"

He murmured to himself, and then quickly made a decision.

"Six thousand spirit coins!"

Zhou Chun just opened his mouth and shouted out a new high price.

"It's him again!"

"Who exactly is this fellow Taoist? His cultivation level is not high, but his wealth is very rich!"

"He flaunts his wealth so loudly. Does he really think that others dare not touch him?"

Faintly, some whispers, whether intentional or unintentional, sounded quietly in the underground cave hall.

Obviously, Zhou Chun's previous quotations had left a deep impression on the monks present.

The monk who was suspected to be Master Jiang also set his eyes on Zhou Chun who was wearing a bamboo hat.

Fortunately, Zhou Chun had deliberately changed her voice out of caution, so he should not be able to recognize her by her voice.

"Six thousand two hundred spirit coins."

The cultivator who was suspected to be Master Jiang soon spoke again and surpassed Zhou Chun's price.

"Six thousand five hundred spirit coins!"

Zhou Chun didn't give in at all.

"Six thousand eight hundred spirit coins."

The monk who was suspected to be Master Jiang sounded slightly annoyed.

But Zhou Chun didn't care and continued to shout: "Seven thousand one hundred spirit coins."

This time, the monk who was suspected to be Master Jiang looked at him for a long time, but ultimately did not raise the price.

Previously, a thousand-year-old Polygonatum was only sold for more than 8,000 spirit coins, so there was no way that the price of this eight-hundred-year-old Red Ganoderma would be raised.

So in the end, Zhou Chun bought the item for 7,100 spirit coins.

But after Zhou Chun paid the spiritual coins and took the spiritual medicine from the auction table, he clearly felt many eyes on him.

Obviously, his previous lavish spending had already made people have certain ideas about him.
