Immortality and Cultivation: I Have Too Many Talents

Chapter 448 The Cold Jade Pill Appears (Seeking Subscriptions)

Shen Xuan looked ashamed.

“Patriarch Wei, my talisman skills are not proficient. I am only skilled in some first-tier talismans, so I will not embarrass myself by showing them off.”

"Haha, Master Shen is young and has a bright future. There's no need to argue about who's better in the short term."

The head of the Wei family said without changing his expression.

After disguising himself, Shen Xuan was full of energy and had a handsome appearance.

Judging from his aura alone, anyone would think he was only in his forties.

"Come on, Tao'er, Yan'er, let's toast Master Shen together!"

"Young people should spend more time together."

Wei Zhentao and Wei Feiyan raised their glasses at the same time.

Shen Xuan quickly raised his glass.

The three of them drank it all in one gulp.

Shen Xuan's face was full of humble smiles.

I was thinking in my heart.

The Wei family of Lion King Island is ambitious.

Even an unknown, independent cultivator like him was treated with great courtesy.

After the banquet, it gradually got dark.

More than three hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators were led into a large hall.

Following that, more than 300 members of the Wei family, all dressed in uniform, provided one-on-one service to the attendees.

All personnel wore special robes and masks to prevent divine perception from being detected.

Even companions can be separated.

Each person has a private room.

In this way, apart from the Wei family cultivators, no one could distinguish the identities of the participating cultivators.

Zheng Danshi and Mu Ling'er both chose private rooms.

"The Wei family is quite experienced."

Originally, Shen Xuan did not want to take action.

Seeing how well the auction protected the privacy of the attendees, I became quite interested.

"If there are suitable spiritual items, it is fine to buy one or two."

Soon, the Wei family took the lead in putting some precious spiritual items up for auction.

Even Foundation Establishment Pills appeared in three quantities.

They belong to the elements of water, wood, and earth.

"The Wei family is really generous; they're even willing to spend the Foundation Establishment Pill!"

"It may not belong to the Wei family; it may have been entrusted to be auctioned by someone else."

"That's still impressive! Other families might not trust you!"

"That's right. The Wei family of Lion King Island has an excellent reputation for integrity."

The atmosphere at the auction was stirred up.

Shen Xuan used his skills such as [Insight], [Hearing from All Directions], [Illusion-Breaking Eyes], [Smelling the Wind], and [Seeing the Detail] to their fullest potential.

They have sharp hearing and eyesight, and keen senses.

The whispers from the next private room were audible, but clear enough to hear clearly.

The calls for bids rose and fell in a continuous stream.

The highest-grade Wood-attribute Foundation Establishment Pill was auctioned off for a high price of 42,000 spirit stones.

It is significantly more expensive than the market price on land.

Shen Xuan watched silently.

He had more than thirty Foundation Establishment Pills in his storage bag.

Most of them are water-related.

Shen Xuan had no shortage of spirit stones and had no intention of auctioning off the Foundation Establishment Pill.

If a suitable high-level spiritual item is available, it can be exchanged for using Foundation Establishment Pills.

"The Wei family is a good intermediary."

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

If the opportunity arises, we can consider cooperating and asking them to act as our intermediary for the transaction.

"The Longevity Pill can increase the lifespan of a Foundation Establishment cultivator by approximately ten years. Only one is available. Starting bid: 50,000 spirit stones..."

"I can't help but show a smug look on my face as I preside over the auction," the head of the Wei family shouted.

This is a second-grade high-quality elixir, and a special elixir that can extend lifespan.

He brought it out not just to warm up the atmosphere.

It's also a way of showing off and demonstrating strength.

Sure enough, it was said to be a longevity elixir.

The atmosphere at the auction was electric.

In the end, the Longevity Pill was auctioned off for a high price of 86,000 spirit stones.

Later, the head of the Wei family gave up his auction seat.

The cultivators of the clan were instructed to lead the Foundation Establishment cultivators onto the stage in turn, according to their assigned numbers.

Auctioning spiritual items, or for trade purposes.

In an instant, all sorts of breakthrough pills, special talismans, second-hand magic weapons, second-tier array plates, top-grade spiritual medicines, and so on emerged one after another.

Many of the items were clearly stolen.

Those in charge of the transactions mostly made oaths to the heavens.

Guarantee the authenticity and integrity of the items traded.

The Wei family has a designated person responsible for evaluating and auctioning spiritual items.

The auction was immediately bustling with activity.

Soon after, a female cultivator in white robes stepped onto the stage to sell the Seven Deadly Winds Formation.

Shen Xuan glanced at it.

Mu Ling'er disguised herself, but her efforts were in vain.

On the auction stage, she boasted extensively about the Seven Deadly Winds Formation.

There will be absolutely no backdoors.

It is guaranteed that no one other than the buyer has left a way to break the formation.

Even she herself was no exception.

After the Wei family patriarch had the clan's array master confirm the situation, he vouched for her.

The starting bid for the Seven Deadly Fiends Formation is 70,000 spirit stones.

It was eventually auctioned off for 79,000 spirit stones.

Mu Ling'er also sought to trade the ten-thousand-year-old dragon's saliva wood with the crowd present.

Unfortunately, no one responded.

This treasure is close to the third rank.

These poor bastards from Fanxinghai, where would they get the money?

Mu Ling'er had no choice but to leave the stage dejectedly.

Later, a monk in a golden robe came up on stage.

He took out a flying sword and a magical shield for defense.

According to the appraisal of the Wei family head, they were all mid-grade second-tier water-attribute magic treasures, and were in perfect condition.

The golden-robed cultivator used these two magical treasures to trade for a mid-grade second-tier alchemy furnace.

Shen Xuan immediately recognized the golden-robed cultivator as Master Zheng Dan.

A flying sword plus a spirit shield, exchanged for a pill furnace of the same level, would be of comparable value.

However, Master Zheng's two magical treasures were definitely stolen goods.

As for the second-tier mid-grade alchemy furnace, only second-tier alchemists would carry it with them, and it rarely appears on the market.

Any second-tier alchemist is a treasure in the hearts of various cultivation forces.

It wouldn't be allowed to circulate freely. Master Zheng tried to sell it several times, but no one responded.

They had no choice but to put these two magical treasures up for auction.

The auction raised a total of 170,000 spirit stones.

For secondhand stolen goods, this price is quite good.

Shen Xuan watched with great interest.

I made a few moves along the way.

They bid on several second-tier spiritual herbs.

However, his bid was quickly drowned out by the other bids.

Shen Xuan didn't care about this at all.

Seeing that the elixir was expensive, they decided to give up decisively.

Until a miraculous elixir appeared, it startled him.

"One bottle of Cold Jade Pills, containing ten Cold Jade Pills!"

"Fellow Daoists, you may not know what kind of pill this is. Let me introduce it to you."

"The Cold Jade Pill, also known as the Lesser Foundation Purification Pill, can purify impurities in the foundation of one's Dao and improve its grade. One Cold Jade Pill has 30% of the medicinal effect of the Foundation Purification Pill."

"For ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators, the efficacy of the medicine will only decrease significantly after using thirty Cold Jade Pills."

A cultivator below asked, "Patriarch Wei, do you mean that this bottle of Cold Jade Pills is equivalent to three Foundation Purification Pills?"

"More or less. The effects vary from person to person, and I cannot guarantee that. But this pill is a genuine Cold Jade Pill, and I can vouch for that."

Then someone asked, "Is it the Water-based Cold Jade Pill or the Fire-based Cold Jade Pill?"

The Wei family head smiled: "This fellow Daoist is an expert. This is the Water-based Cold Jade Pill, and its medicinal effects are slightly better than the Fire-based Cold Jade Pill."

Upon hearing this, Shen Xuan was even more surprised.

This clearly originated from the Qingyun Sect.

The other sects in the Song Kingdom, even if they started refining Cold Jade Pills, were basically using fire techniques.

Even if there were a few Water-based Cold Jade Pills, they wouldn't be enough for the core disciples of their own sect, so they would absolutely not be willing to let them be passed on.

Shen Xuan stared intently at the black-robed cultivator on the auction stage.

The distance is too far.

The robes concealed his divine senses.

Even with Shen Xuan's senses surpassing those of a fake Core Formation cultivator, he couldn't discern the person's identity.

Shen Xuan created a [Good Fortune and Misfortune Avoidance Technique].

Fortunately, the reaction was muted.

He is not a threat.

"Could this person be a traitor to the Qingyun Sect, just like me?"

"Moreover, at least in the late stage of Foundation Establishment."

According to the rules of the Qingyun Sect, those who have not reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment are not allowed to exchange Cold Jade Pills from the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall.

There are a few private transactions among sect disciples, but these are limited to those at the late Foundation Establishment stage or above.

"Late Foundation Establishment stage, betrayed the sect and fled, could it be him?"

A blurry face appeared in Shen Xuan's mind.

He has an honest appearance and is unremarkable in all aspects; he is a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator using earth magic.

Zhuang Xueqin is the only survivor among the ordinary disciples in the Gan River Secret Realm.

"interesting!"

Shen Xuan stared intently at it.

The more I look at him, the more he resembles Zhuang Xueqin.

Could it be that he really did defect from the Qingyun Sect and escape to this Starry Sea?

What a coincidence!
Soon, the auction for the Cold Jade Pill began.

The starting bid is as high as 150,000 spirit stones.

Nevertheless, prices continued to soar.

"160,000 spirit stones."

"170,000 spirit stones."

"Two hundred thousand spirit stones, I'll take it! Fellow Daoists, please do me a favor."

His voice was confident and loud, using the power of his soul to resound throughout the auction hall, suppressing the numerous bidding voices.

Everyone looked around.

The door to a private room opened, and Qiu Haoran closed his jade fan, clasped his hands in a fist and bow, performing a four-way salute.

Her face was beaming with smiles.

Behind him stood Li Chengjiang and Qiu Yushu, who were also not wearing monk robes.

"It's Qiu Haoran, the young master of Qiuyue Island!"

"This person is no ordinary person! Eighteen years ago, he made a name for himself in the Seven Islands Foundation Establishment Disciples' Spell Demonstration Competition, directly winning the championship. After returning to Autumn Moon Island, he was publicly appointed as the young island master."

"I've heard that this person is exceptionally talented and possesses outstanding combat prowess. In just eighteen years, he broke through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage and is hailed as the Qiu family's number one genius!"

"The Qiu family's number one genius? So what! He's not the number one genius of the Starry Sea!"

"You just don't understand. If someone claims to be the number one genius in the Starry Sea, he won't have a good life. People will keep coming to challenge him."

"That's right. If he boasts about himself in the Qiu family, no one can really say anything."

"His reputation is not to be underestimated. The Qiu family has more than a dozen young Foundation Establishment cultivators, and he has managed to stand out, so his subordinates are no ordinary people!"

Shen Xuan listened to the discussions from all sides, finding it amusing.

The Starry Sea is so barren, a desolate and impoverished place.

These young Foundation Establishment cultivators went to great lengths and used any means necessary to vie for the position of family head.

However, these trivial matters have nothing to do with Shen Xuan.

He only came here to cultivate in seclusion.

Once the foundation is fully established, they will leave.

The sea of ​​stars is too shallow to contain him.

"So it's the young master of the Qiu family, haha, fine, I'll give the Qiu family some face..."

Autumn Moon Island is one of the strongest islands in the Starry Sea.

One of them joked that he was giving up the bidding.

Seeing this, the other Foundation Establishment cultivators followed suit.

Actually, 200,000 spirit stones is a very expensive price.

Five Foundation Establishment Pills can be traded for each of them.

Those who can produce so many spirit stones are all powerful figures in major cultivation forces.

Most ordinary independent cultivators are willing but unable to do so.

In the end, Qiu Haoran successfully bid for the bottle of Cold Jade Pills for 200,000 spirit stones.

"Qiu Haoran, this matter can only be done once, not twice."

The head of the Wei family warned solemnly.

"I was so excited by the sight of the prey that I couldn't resist. I apologize to Patriarch Wei."

"Thank you all for gracing us with your presence. Whenever any fellow Daoist from the Starry Sea passes by Autumn Moon Island, I, Qiu, will certainly welcome you with open arms."

Having achieved his goal, Qiu Haoran bowed to the Wei family head, then performed a four-sided bow before retreating to the private room with a beaming smile.

As soon as he entered and closed the door, Qiu Haoran's expression changed.

"Old Li, find a way to investigate the identity of the person who sold the pills."

"Ten Cold Jade Pills are a bit too few."

Li Chengjiang and Qiu Yushu exchanged a glance and nodded slightly.

the other side.

Finally, it was Shen Xuan's turn to go on stage.

His opening remarks immediately astonished everyone present.

"Buy information on the Fake Core Demon King at a high price!"
