Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 118 Achieving Ninth-Grade Elixir (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

This trade fair seems to be something to look forward to.

He glanced at the rows of chairs below; each pear wood chair was spaced a meter apart.

This is clearly a safe distance between cultivators, enough to react in case of an emergency.

These Qi Refining Realm cultivators sat down one or two seats apart, each of them appearing extremely vigilant.

Li Yunjing went with the flow and randomly found a seat in the last row, a secluded spot.

Then, with a thought, his divine sense surged out and discreetly examined all the cultivators in the auction hall.

Just like what Deng Yanshi said, the trade fairs held by "Jubaolou" were all aimed at high-level Qi Refining cultivators.

Normally, only people at the seventh, eighth, and ninth levels of the Qi Refining Realm can participate in this trade fair.

However, organizations like chambers of commerce have a wide circle of acquaintances, including friends from all walks of life.

Some relationships are hard to refuse, so like Li Yunjing, there are quite a few people who get in through connections.

However, among those present, the lowest cultivation level was at least the fifth level of Qi Refining, and there was only one such person.

There weren't many people at the sixth level of Qi Refining, only five or six.

It's not excessive, and it doesn't lower the standard of this trade fair.

Among those present, there were four people at the ninth level of Qi Refining; fifteen people at the eighth level of Qi Refining; and the rest were cultivators at the fifth, sixth, or seventh level of Qi Refining.

Clearly, this trade fair was of a high standard, which greatly pleased Li Yunjing.

Most of the cultivators present were independent cultivators from the surrounding area, spanning several thousand miles.

Only a large group of independent cultivators could gather so many high-level Qi Refining cultivators.

The local bully "Ten Thousand Swords Sect" may seem powerful, but in reality, their high-level Qi Refining cultivators in "Ten Thousand Swords City" are also at this level.

Some members of the "Ten Thousand Swords Sect" are still on the front lines, while others are out on training missions; this is not the entirety of the "Ten Thousand Swords Sect's" strength.

Among those present were also disciples of the "Ten Thousand Swords Sect".

However, like most people, these individuals chose to conceal their true appearance with special treasures to prevent others from peeping at them.

Like Li Yunjing, only seven or eight people appeared openly and honestly.

Clearly, there are relatively few arrogant and fearless people.

Li Yunjing sat there for a quarter of an hour, during which two more cultivators at the seventh level of Qi Refining entered.

With everyone present, the door to the third floor creaked shut.

This floor has no windows, and the walls are covered with runes.

Four more cultivators at the eighth level of the Qi Refining Realm appeared in the four corners of the third floor to stand guard.

They were all from "Jubaolou" and were keeping watch on the surroundings to ensure that no disturbances would occur.

All of the above measures are aimed at ensuring the absolute safety of the trade fair.

No one can commit murder and robbery here!

Otherwise, "Jubaolou" will never forgive him!
This is a very important matter involving the "Jubaolou" signboard.

Therefore, the two people in charge of hosting the trade fair were both experts from the "Treasure Pavilion," each with a cultivation level of the ninth level of Qi Refining.

With the four Qi Refining Realm level seven cultivators outside the door, and the four below the stairs, the sheer number of people in "Treasure Pavilion" is more than enough to handle any unexpected event.

After scanning his surroundings and figuring out the situation, Li Yunjing nodded to himself. The methods of "Jubaolou" were indeed impressive; no wonder they were able to invite so many people to the meeting.

While waiting, the hall was completely silent; no one spoke.

Everyone attended the meeting concealing their identities to avoid being exposed; naturally, they dared not communicate with others and reveal their identities.

After observing the situation, Li Yunjing closed his eyes slightly and sat in the corner to rest.

"Clap clap clap!"

Suddenly, in this quiet environment, a middle-aged man in a brocade robe walked up to the platform and clapped his hands.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Some of you have attended our 'Treasure Pavilion' trade fair many times, while others are attending for the first time. As is customary, I will now explain our rules to you!"

The person from "Treasure Pavilion" was actually a cultivator at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining Realm. He had sharp eyes and scanned the crowd before saying, "First, no one is allowed to leave midway through the transaction."

"Secondly, for each transaction that is completed, based on the price, 'Jubaolou' will take one percent of the payment from the recipient as a venue fee!"

"Third, accept barter and spirit stone transactions."

"Fourth, fighting, and even murder and robbery, are strictly prohibited at the trade fair! Anyone who does such a thing will be hunted down by 'Jubaolou' and killed without mercy!"

"fifth……"

The words of the middle-aged man in brocade robes made many people look solemn, while some people nodded slightly. It was clear that these people had participated in the trade fair.

Seeing that everyone understood the rules of the trade fair, the burly man in the brocade robe said, "The trade fair will now begin! Who wants to go up on stage first?"

"I'll go first."

A man wearing a straw hat and a black robe was the first to walk onto the platform.

This person seemed very anxious, with a sense of impatience.

"Tsk tsk..."

Upon seeing that it was the man in the bamboo hat with whom he had traded, Li Yunjing showed a hint of curiosity, wanting to see what this man lacked that he had exchanged for so many spirit stones.

"Let me first state what I'm asking for: one Foundation Establishment Pill! I can buy it with spirit stones or exchange it for other items!"

The man's voice was hoarse and shrill; he got straight to the point without any hesitation.

"Foundation Pill!"

Many people below were startled, but quickly realized what was happening.

This person should be a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Realm, but he is getting old and starting to decline.

If this person cannot obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill in the next few years and break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, he will have no hope for the rest of his life. That is why the man in the bamboo hat looked so impatient.

There are countless people like this in the cultivation world; every moment there are people like this waiting to die in despair.

As the name suggests, the "Foundation Building Pill" is an auxiliary pill for cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm to break through to the Foundation Building Realm.

Taking the "Foundation Building Pill" does not guarantee a 100% success rate in breaking through to the next realm; it only increases the chances.

Elixirs are divided into nine grades, and the quality of the elixirs refined by each alchemist is different.

The weakest grade nine "Foundation Building Pill" can increase the probability of Foundation Building by 10%.

The first-grade "Foundation Building Pill" is personally refined by an unparalleled grandmaster of alchemy. Its medicinal effects are incredibly powerful, and it can even give people a 90% chance of establishing their foundation.

However, true grandmasters of alchemy would never stoop to refining low-level pills like "Foundation Building Pills".

The alchemy master Yu, whom Li Yunjing knew, was someone who researched elixirs for the Golden Core stage.

If anyone in the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" were to be so foolish as to ask the alchemy master Yu Tingchuan to refine a "Foundation Building Pill," they would probably be kicked out by this important figure!

Therefore, there is no "Foundation Building Pill" of perfect quality on the market.

On the contrary, the ninth, eighth, and seventh grade "Foundation Building Pills" are more commonly found in the cultivation world.

Hearing that it was for the Foundation Building Pill, Li Yunjing was slightly disappointed.

The "Foundation Building Pill," this kind of elixir, had almost no effect on Li Yunjing.

He also did not believe that he would need to take "Foundation Building Pills" to break through to the Foundation Building Realm in the future.

Within the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," there are quite a few people who have broken through to the next realm by consuming "Foundation Building Pills."

However, none of those who were promoted to true disciples broke through the Foundation Establishment Realm by relying on "Foundation Establishment Pills".

For geniuses, elixirs are optional, not a necessary choice.

Li Yunjing is naturally a top genius, so he can be indifferent to the "Foundation Building Pill".

But the others present did care!
Their eyes were all red, and many people couldn't contain their emotions, either whispering to each other or muttering to themselves.

It seems everyone wants to know who among the participants in the trade fair will be able to offer a "Foundation Building Pill" in exchange for this person.

After the man in the straw hat finished speaking, the entire hall was filled with whispers, but no one stepped forward to claim that they possessed the "Foundation Building Pill".

Disappointed that no major deal had materialized, Li Yunjing sat expressionless in his chair.

The man in the bamboo hat looked around, still unwilling to give up, and said again, "Twenty thousand spirit stones! Think about it, everyone, these spirit stones are enough to buy one and a half Foundation Establishment Pills. If you transfer them once, you can make a net profit of 5000 spirit stones! With your abilities, you should be able to get more Foundation Establishment Pills! It won't delay your path of cultivation!"

"hiss……"

"That's quite a price!"

"Could it be that someone in our group actually possesses a Foundation Establishment Pill?"

The entire audience erupted in uproar, as if the man who stepped forward was absolutely certain that someone present must possess a Foundation Establishment Core.

This person doesn't seem to be speaking without reason; they must have received prior notice.

Even the burly man in the brocade robe at the "Treasure Pavilion" showed curiosity, wanting to see who had a Foundation Establishment Pill.

He certainly wouldn't be envious, as the "Treasure Pavilion" has no shortage of Foundation Establishment Pills!
The burly man in the brocade robe even started to think: "If this person could add a few more things and make up 25,000 spirit stones, I might as well sell him a Foundation Establishment Pill!"

As for what happens after it's sold out, he can naturally get more stock from the numerous branches of "Jubaolou"!
The motto of "Treasure Pavilion" is that as long as there is profit to be made, nothing is off-limits for trade!
Foundation Building Pills are no exception!
"I have it! But your 20,000 spirit stones are a bit too few!"

Suddenly, a crisp sound rang out.

Everyone looked over and saw a woman in red sitting in a corner of the back row. Her face was covered by a light veil, so no one could see her face clearly.

The woman's voice was clear and melodious, making it very pleasant to listen to.

Like the others, Li Yunjing also looked at the other person with curiosity.

Li Yunjing didn't even have a Foundation Establishment Pill, yet this woman was able to produce one, which shows that she is no ordinary person.

"Fellow Daoist! Twenty thousand spirit stones is quite a lot! This is all the spirit stones I could gather!"

On the stage, the man in the straw hat was initially delighted, but then his expression turned anxious.

He has truly lost everything and has no more resources.

In his attempt to establish his foundation, the man in the straw hat was going all out. If he failed, there would be no reason for him to live, and he would never have a chance to turn things around again!
"The price you quoted is indeed very high! But my Foundation Establishment Pill is grade eight, you should understand what I mean."

The woman in red spoke softly.

"boom……"

The whole place was in an uproar!

Everyone was shocked by what the woman in red said.

The cultivators participating in the trade fair were mostly independent cultivators, members of small families, or members of small sects.

The disciples of the "Ten Thousand Swords Sect" were all considered top-tier experts from reputable sects.

At this level of cultivation, the "Foundation Building Pill" they generally refer to is usually grade nine.

The fact that this woman could produce an eighth-grade "Foundation Building Pill" was absolutely dazzling to them.

A 20% chance of achieving Foundation Establishment!

Adding their own reserves, the probability is already quite high.

This Foundation Establishment Pill is indeed worth more than 20,000 spirit stones!
How could those present possibly hold back?
One of them suddenly stood up and said to the woman in red in the back row, "I'll offer 25000 low-grade spirit stones. Fellow Daoist, how about you sell it to me?"

These words caused another uproar in the audience!

Who is this wealthy person from? They are so rich!
On the auction stage, the man in the straw hat, enraged, shouted, "There's an order to things. I'm the one negotiating the deal now, what right do you have to interrupt?"

"Heh heh! You're not capable enough to buy it. If I don't buy it, who will?"

The man who stood up was dressed entirely in a black robe, completely covered up, and spoke in a sinister tone.
