Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 104: Fierce Bidding

Someone exclaimed in disbelief:

"It's actually the Foundation Establishment Pill! Damn it, I didn't bring enough spirit stones!"

"Liu Laosan, save your breath. Can your small family raise 10,000 spirit stones by selling everything they have? You can't even think about making this foundation-building pill without 30,000 or 40,000 spirit stones."

In a private room on the second floor, Meng Hongji sat up straight.

He stared at the blue pill with his eyes wide open, his face full of excitement and nervousness.

Ning Fa widened his eyes and looked at the foundation-building pill carefully.

The reputation of the Foundation Establishment Pill can be said to be the best among all elixirs, and it is the most desired thing by many Qi-cultivating monks.

For a cultivator to build his foundation, it does not mean that he must take foundation-building pills to succeed.

However, if you don't take this pill, building the foundation will be a very dangerous thing.

It is a life-and-death situation. If you are not careful, you may explode and die.

After taking the foundation-building pill, even if the foundation-building fails.

At most, it would only damage your vitality, but your life would not be in danger.

What's more, the foundation-building pill can increase the probability of a cultivator building a foundation by about 20% to 30%.

Among the many level-breaking elixirs, this probability is already quite high.

Therefore, up to now, the Foundation Establishment Pill is almost a must-have item for cultivators to break through the Foundation Establishment stage.

Only those cultivators who are approaching the sixty-year-old foundation-building deadline but do not have foundation-building pills will risk forcibly breaking through.

However, the number of people who can successfully build a foundation in this way is almost one in a thousand.

As the Foundation Establishment Pill is the most advanced second-grade elixir, the spiritual materials required are even more precious than those of some ordinary third-grade elixirs.

Rumor has it that some of the main materials needed for the Foundation Building Pill only exist in some secret and dangerous places.

It is rare for ordinary monks to see it.

Only the big sects have the ability to regularly go to these secret and dangerous places to collect relevant spiritual materials.

Ning Fa then realized that what he and Ning Shaohong had talked about yesterday in Tongbao Pavilion was actually this Foundation Establishment Pill.

And it seems that the Ning family had discussed it internally and decided to give up this foundation-building pill.

Otherwise, at least one foundation-building elder should have come in person today.

And what Meng Hongji said before should be what he was referring to.

When he saw that only Ning Shaohong came from the Ning family, he naturally knew that the Ning family had no intention of bidding for the Foundation Establishment Pill, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

There is no doubt that Meng Hongji came here just for this foundation-building pill.

At this time, the Meng family was in a precarious situation and urgently needed another foundation-building cultivator.

And at this auction, it was obvious that many cultivators came specifically for this Foundation Establishment Pill.

Tongbao Pavilion had already started warming up before, and it is estimated that the news of this foundation-building pill has already been told to many cultivators with status in Qianbo Lake.

Ning Fa couldn't help but look at Ning Shaohong in confusion, not understanding why the Ning family wanted to give up this foundation-building pill.

Ning Shaohong noticed Ning Fa's look and couldn't help but smile: "This is not a normal foundation-building pill, keep looking."

Ning Fa was stunned and didn't understand what Ning Shaohong meant.

At this time, Wei Shiqin said solemnly: "I want to emphasize here that this foundation-building pill has some flaws, because the most important main ingredient [Heavenly Spirit Fruit] used to refine this pill is more than ten years old."

"So the effect of this pill is not as good as the normal foundation-building pill. It can increase the chance of breakthrough by about 20%, and it may affect the realm breakthrough after foundation-building."

"But the other abilities that a foundation-building pill should have are all there, such as the ability to protect the body when breaking through the ranks. It's just because the spiritual energy is slightly insufficient that there are these shortcomings."

"The starting price for this pill is 5,000 Spiritual Stones, and each bid cannot be less than 500 Spiritual Stones."

As soon as these words were spoken, the venue suddenly became a little quieter.

But many people's eyes were even more fiery.

Although this pill has some flaws, it is still a foundation-building pill after all.

Moreover, the price is expected to be much cheaper than normal foundation-building pills, so they have a better chance of winning them.

As long as one can break through to the foundation-building stage, one can enjoy a long lifespan of four centuries.

Even if I can only stay in the initial stage of foundation building in the future, I can completely accept it.

After all, most foundation-building cultivators can only stay at this level throughout their lives.

"Six thousand spirit stones!"

"I'll give you seven thousand!"

……

In a short period of time, the price has soared all the way above Ten Thousand Spiritual Stones. Ning Shaohong looked at Ning Fa and continued, "This foundation-building pill is of little use to our Ning family. It will affect the subsequent potential of the user, so the family elders will decide to give it up and buy the genuine foundation-building pill at the auction in Hei Ze Xian City in the future."

Ningfa nodded.

I secretly sighed at the Ning family's current wealth.

Obviously, he looked down upon this foundation-building pill with some flaws.

The Ning family looks down on it, but others are flocking to it.

In a short period of time, the price has reached more than 20,000 spirit stones.

At this price, only five or six people were still bidding.

Gradually, the price reached 26,000 spirit stones.

Only Meng Hongji, the ancestor of the Meng family, and the female cultivator with a cold voice were left bidding.

"Twenty-eight thousand spirit stones!"

The cold female voice directly raised the price by two thousand spirit stones.

There was worry in Meng Ruoqi's beautiful eyes.

Meng Hongji frowned and looked hesitant.

Although the price of a normal Foundation Establishment Pill fluctuates, it is probably around 40,000 spirit stones.

For this flawed foundation-building pill, the price is already a bit high.

The Meng family can naturally afford these spirit stones.

However, ever since the second elder of the family was injured, the Meng family has spent a large amount of spirit stones to purchase equally expensive second-level healing pills.

There are also nearby forces that are ready to make moves, and frictions and conflicts are increasing.

The Meng family is also stockpiling large quantities of strategic reserves such as magical instruments, talismans, and elixirs.

All of these will cost a large amount of spirit stones.

"Twenty-nine thousand spirit stones."

Meng Hongji hesitated and quoted another price.

He decided in his heart that if the other party raised the price again, he would give up.

At the same time, he even suspected in his heart whether this woman was hired by Tongbao Pavilion to raise the price.

However, the female voice offered the price without hesitation: "30,000 Spiritual Stones!"

Meng Hongji sighed and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

He gave up his bid.

There was also a hint of sadness in Meng Ruoqi's starry eyes.

In the end, this defective Foundation Establishment Pill was bought by the mysterious woman.

The auction ended successfully.

……

Because Ning Shaohong was busy with work, the Ning family left Tianshui Market as soon as the auction ended.

On the flying boat, Ning Fa was comprehending the Moon-Gazing Technique with great joy.

I was curious about what kind of martial art the mysterious scroll would trace the Moon-Watching Art back to.

The scroll could react so strongly, so the technique that could be traced back to it must be extraordinary.

This set of skills belonged to him personally.

He can choose whether to contribute this skill to the family's scripture transmission hall.

The Ning family has relevant regulations.

If a clan member obtains a manual of martial arts privately, he can contribute it to the clan.

The family will give family contribution points to its members based on their value.

And contribution points are generally higher than the normal price of these martial arts books.

This is to encourage the tribe members to contribute.

If Ning Fa hands in the Moon-Watching Art, he will probably get a large amount of contribution points.

But Ningfa has not yet decided whether to hand it over.

We will talk about everything after we trace the origin of the scroll.
