Nine Transformations of the True Spirit.

Chapter 149 Fire Cloud Gourd
Chen Yuan and the middle-aged monk walked into the stone gate together. Behind it was a spacious hall with no doors or windows. It was all shrouded in restrictions. Dozens of long-burning candles were lit around it, making the room as bright as day.

The terrain in the hall is peculiar. There is a square platform in the middle, which is low in terrain. There are several circles of high platforms around it. The higher the platforms are, the further out you go. There are cushions placed on them, about ten feet apart. There are dozens of them in total.

At this time, most of the cushions had been occupied, with only a dozen or so empty seats left.

The middle-aged cultivator said to Chen Yuan, "Daoyou can choose any cushion to sit on. In half an hour, the treasure gathering will begin and will last for twelve hours. You cannot leave early during this period. If Daoyou cannot accept it, you can leave now."

Chen Yuan said in a rough voice: "It doesn't matter, I still have some time."

The middle-aged monk nodded, said no more, turned and walked out of the hall, and the stone door slowly closed behind Chen Yuan.

As usual, Chen Yuan came to an inconspicuous corner, sat on a cushion, and waited for the treasure gathering to begin.

In the next half hour, foundation-building monks entered the stone gate one after another and sat down on the high platforms around it.

In the end, only a few cushions were left empty, and the others were full of people.

Chen Yuan counted carefully and found that there were a total of forty-six foundation-building cultivators in the hall, including himself. He couldn't help but be secretly shocked.

You must know that these people have paid five medium-grade spirit stones to be able to participate in the treasure gathering, and they are all wealthy.

This treasure gathering can gather so many powerful foundation-building cultivators at one time. The person behind the scenes must be extremely powerful. Perhaps, as Nie Ruyue said, he is a Jindan elder of the Lingyun Sect.

At this time, a wealthy monk in a golden robe walked into the hall and landed on the square platform in the center of the hall.

This person took the initiative to release spiritual pressure, and his cultivation level was actually at the late stage of foundation building, attracting everyone's attention.

He bowed with a big smile on his face and said in a loud voice: "Welcome all Taoist friends to the Jubaohui. Qian is here to show his courtesy. To prevent misunderstandings, Qian still has to say a few words about the rules of the Jubaohui. The Jubaohui is to provide a convenient place for everyone to trade. At the Jubaohui, you are not allowed to disrupt the order, trade with counterfeit goods, or force buying and selling. Anyone who violates this rule will be expelled immediately!"

Having said this, the wealthy monk's voice suddenly became stern.

At the same time, six monks walked in from the stone gate, wearing oil-painted masks used in secular dramas, looking extremely funny.

However, they all had a murderous aura and were very smart. They all had foundation-building skills, and two of them were in the middle stage of foundation-building.

The six people dispersed and stood around the platform, surrounding everyone in the hall in the middle.

The group of foundation-building monks in the hall just glanced at him without changing their expressions.

There were more than forty of them and they were not afraid of these six people at all. Moreover, Jubao Club had been running in Lingyun Market for decades and had an excellent reputation and had never had any trouble.

However, if someone has ill intentions, these six foundation-building cultivators, plus the wealthy cultivator with late-stage foundation-building cultivation, are enough to suppress the troublemaker.

At this time, the wealthy monk put on a friendly smile and said, "Of course, all of you Taoists are here for the treasures, I believe you will not be so unwise. Without further ado, the treasure gathering will begin now. According to the old rules, I will start with Qian's suggestion. Each time you raise the price, it must not be less than one medium-grade spirit stone..."

He touched the storage bag, and a three-inch yellow copper seal appeared out of thin air in front of him, slowly rotating and emitting a faint yellow light.

"The middle-grade spiritual weapon Nanshan Seal is made of Nine Mountains Stone as the main material. It contains the power of mountains. It is extremely heavy and powerful. The starting price is twenty-five middle-grade spiritual stones!"

As soon as the wealthy monk finished speaking, the foundation-building monks in the field began to bid.

"I'll offer twenty-six mid-grade spirit stones!"

"Twenty-seven dollars!"

This Nanshan Seal has a pure aura and rich spiritual power. It is also among the top mid-grade spiritual weapons. Chen Yuan is also quite tempted.

If his cultivation level remained at the early stage of foundation building, this Nanshan Seal would be just right for him.

But he has no shortage of elixirs. If he goes back and practices hard in seclusion, he should be able to break through to the middle stage of foundation building. Then when he uses the Nanshan Seal, its power will be insufficient.

So he didn't make any bid, but just watched silently.

Finally, the Green Mountain Seal was bought by a foundation-building cultivator for thirty-three medium-grade spirit stones, and the transaction was completed with the wealthy cultivator on the spot.

The market price of a mid-grade spiritual weapon is generally around thirty mid-grade spiritual stones. This Nanshan Seal is of excellent quality, and it is just right to sell it for thirty-three mid-grade spiritual stones.

Those who can cultivate to the foundation-building stage are all shrewd people. Unless it is something they must get, they will not bid again once the price reaches a certain upper limit.

The wealthy monk then took out the second treasure, which was a pool of clear water, confined in a purple-gold bowl, which emitted a faint sound of a rushing river.

"Two portions of the top-grade middle-grade spiritual material Water Vein Essence. It can be used as the main material to refine a high-grade spiritual weapon, or as an auxiliary material to refine a top-grade spiritual weapon. The starting price is twenty-five middle-grade spiritual stones!"

As soon as this spiritual material came out, it attracted more monks to bid for it.

The water vein essence is just a kind of spiritual material, and its value is not as good as the Qingshan Seal magic weapon just now, but the fact that the wealthy monk took out two of them at once is very different.

If these two portions of water vein essence are used to refine weapons at the same time, the success rate will increase significantly. The power of the top-grade spiritual weapon refined can be close to that of the best spiritual weapon, and it is extremely suitable for cultivators who practice water-based techniques.

Finally, these two portions of water vein essence were bought by a foundation-building cultivator at the price of forty medium-grade spirit stones, and were traded with the wealthy cultivator on the spot.

Chen Yuan did not participate in the bidding this time, but a smile appeared on his face, which was covered by Luo Yansha.

The first two items at this treasure fair are so extraordinary, and there will definitely be top-grade spiritual weapons in the future. His trip will not be in vain.

At this time, the wealthy monk took out the third item for auction, which was a top-grade spiritual talisman, the Wind Escape Talisman, with a reserve price of thirty medium-grade spiritual stones. The spiritual talisman was different from the low-cost magic talismans that could be used in batches by Qi-refining monks. It was powerful and extremely difficult to refine.

Especially for top-grade talismans, they need to use the fur of a fourth-grade monster to make talisman paper, and then use the blood of a fourth-grade monster, mixed with cinnabar, hundred-year-old spiritual herbs, etc. to make a spiritual liquid, which is then drawn with a talisman pen of top-grade spiritual tool grade, and the failure rate is extremely high.

The wind escape talisman that the wealthy monk took out, although it had no attack capability, could allow the monk to escape five miles away within three breaths. It could be used to save one's life at a critical moment and was extremely valuable.

Chen Yuan was also very excited about this talisman and took the initiative to bid: "I'll offer thirty-three medium-grade spirit stones!"

There were already many foundation-building cultivators in the field who started bidding, and the price of the Wind Escape Talisman rose all the way to forty-six medium-grade spirit stones.

Chen Yuan said in a deep voice: "Forty-seven pieces of medium-grade spirit stones!"

A clear voice followed, "Forty-eight middle-grade spirit stones!"

Chen Yuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the person who was bidding with him was of medium build, wearing a bamboo hat with a gauze scarf hanging down, and was also turning his head to look at him.

The man bowed to Chen Yuan and made a gesture of invitation, as if inviting him to continue bidding.

Chen Yuan smiled faintly, turned around and did not make another bid.

This person is obviously determined to get this Wind Escape Talisman, and he has plenty of spirit stones. If we continue to bid with him, I don't know how far we will end up.

Although Chen Yuan was wealthy, it was not worth it to pay fifty or sixty medium-grade spirit stones for a wind escape talisman.

He was the last person to bid against the monk wearing a bamboo hat. After he withdrew, no one competed with him anymore, and the Wind Escape Talisman was won by him at the price of forty-eight spirit stones.

After the wealthy monk completed the transaction with this man, his smile became even wider.

In his estimation, it would be quite good if this Wind Escape Talisman could be sold for forty-three spirit stones.

Unexpectedly, two people who were both extremely interested in the Wind Escape Talisman competed with each other and bid a high price of forty-eight spirit stones, which was an unexpected surprise.

He stroked his storage bag and took out the fifth item.

This is a palm-sized vermilion gourd, hanging in front of the wealthy monk, with a few red auspicious clouds carved on the gourd.

The wealthy monk raised his hand and injected a trace of true energy, and two soybean-sized grains of red iron sand, as round and smooth as beads, came out of the gourd.

The wealthy monk took out a top-grade magic weapon and threw it onto the iron sand. Two grains of iron sand trembled slightly, stuck to the magic weapon, and began to spin rapidly.

But in just a moment, two small holes were worn out on this top-grade magic weapon, and its spiritual light dimmed and it became shaky.

The wealthy monk raised his hand and the two grains of iron sand stopped spinning and flew back into the vermilion gourd.

The wealthy monk said in a loud voice: "The Fire Cloud Gourd, a top-grade spiritual weapon, contains 360 grains of Fire Cloud Sand. After it is released, it can cover an area of ​​100 meters in radius. It can be used for both attack and defense. It has the effect of wearing away spiritual energy, corroding spiritual weapons, and confusing spiritual consciousness. The starting price is 55 middle-grade spiritual stones!"

After his demonstration, this top-grade spiritual weapon aroused the interest of many foundation-building cultivators, and many people immediately placed bids for it.

"I'll offer fifty-six mid-grade spirit stones!"

"Fifty-eight dollars!"

"Sixty dollars..."

Chen Yuan came here to buy a top-grade spiritual weapon, so he would not miss this Fire Cloud Gourd. He said in a rough voice, "I am willing to pay 65 middle-grade spiritual stones!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the place suddenly fell silent.

The crowd had just bid down to sixty medium-grade spirit stones when Chen Yuan opened his mouth and directly raised the price by five pieces, shocking them all.

A foundation-building cultivator turned his head and looked at Chen Yuan, and said loudly: "I will offer sixty-six middle-grade spirit stones!"

Chen Yuan said calmly: "Seventy dollars!"

This time, no one dared to bid against Chen Yuan.

The market price of an ordinary high-grade spiritual weapon is only sixty medium-grade spiritual stones.

No matter how powerful this Fire Cloud Gourd is, it is only a top-grade spiritual weapon. If you buy it for seventy top-grade spiritual stones, you will at least lose four or five mid-grade spiritual stones.

The wealthy monk showed a delighted expression and said immediately, "Seventy middle-grade spirit stones, deal!"

Chen Yuan took out a storage bag, put seventy medium-grade spirit stones into it, raised his hand and waved it, and the storage bag slowly flew to the square platform in the center of the hall.

The wealthy monk took the storage bag. The gentleman took a look inside and showed a satisfied look. He raised his hand and handed the Fire Cloud Gourd to Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan carefully inspected the Fire Cloud Gourd, and after making sure that it was correct, he nodded and put it away.

The wealthy monk was not in a hurry. He waited patiently for Chen Yuan to finish his inspection before putting away the storage bag and taking out the fifth item. He said in a loud voice: "Middle-grade spiritual material, five-hundred-year-old cedar wood..."
