Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 121 Wealthy and Powerful (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Li Yunjing is rich!
The woman in red possesses a treasure!

For now, this is the impression many people present have of these two individuals.

Especially in the eyes of these people, the woman in red was astonishingly beautiful.

The fact that the woman in red could produce an eighth-grade "Foundation Building Pill" clearly indicates that there must be a highly skilled alchemist behind her!

No alchemist comes for free; they either have powerful connections or have friends all over the world.

The woman in red has a close relationship with the alchemist. To be able to obtain such a spiritual pill, she must be someone with extremely strong influence!
Can't afford it!
You really can't mess with them!
Almost everyone dismissed the idea of ​​Li Yunjing and the woman in red!

After the woman in red left the stage, another cultivator came up and took out a top-grade magic artifact, proposing a trade.

Such ordinary items were still very popular, and several monks competed for them.

Ultimately, it was traded for a treasure by a monk.

Following that, many cultivators came forward to trade.

……

An hour later, apart from a few people who refused to go on stage, only Li Yunjing was left who had not yet gone on stage to exchange ideas.

All eyes turned to Li Yunjing, eager to see what good things this disciple of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," with such a distinguished background, could bring out to broaden their horizons.

To everyone's surprise, Li Yunjing closed his eyes to rest, remaining motionless, seemingly having no intention of going on stage to make a deal.

This disappointed everyone, as they wanted to continue learning!
It's a pity that the young master doesn't give them a chance!

Little did they know that the woman in red had elevated the level of this trade fair. Li Yunjing didn't have anything special on him and didn't want to be ridiculed for no reason, which was why he didn't go on stage.

His persona as a rich young master is already established, so of course the show has to continue!
This isn't just for show; it's very useful. Didn't you see how well the men in the straw hats behaved?

After thirty breaths, seeing that no one stepped forward to make a deal.

The burly man in brocade robes from "Jubaolou" stepped onto the stage.

Their "Jubaolou" is a wealthy family and a top-tier business association. How could they not have anything to sell?

Previously, the distinguished guests were allowed to come and trade first, and only after they were satisfied would the other guests make their appearance.

Anyway, they are a chamber of commerce, so they are not afraid that their products will be stuck in their hands and they will not be able to sell them.

This thoughtful gesture is one of the reasons why the "Jubaolou" trade fair is so popular.

The key factor in the continued success of the "Jubaolou" trade fair is its refusal to compete with its valued guests for profit.

Now that everyone else had finished, it was finally the turn of the people from "Jubaolou".

At the signal of the burly man in brocade robes, his four subordinates, all at the eighth level of the Qi Refining Realm, immediately understood and headed towards the auction stage. The four of them moved swiftly and leaped onto the stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Before the end of today's trade fair, my 'Jubaolou' as the host has prepared four items for you. Please take a look at the first one!"

The burly man in brocade robes stood at the very front of the platform, a smug look on his face.

He was extremely confident in his preparations!

"The first treasure is the Mystic Ice Stone!"

When the burly man in brocade robes uttered the name, many people sitting below gasped in surprise.

Under everyone's gaze, a Qi Refining Realm eighth-level cultivator took out a tray with a fist-sized, crystal-clear stone on it that emitted bursts of icy aura!

"This is great stuff!"

Li Yunjing's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "How much?"

"Hehe! Fellow Daoist, this item is one of the essential materials for refining spiritual weapons. My Jubao Pavilion is offering 10000 low-grade spirit stones. Everyone is welcome to bid, and the highest bidder wins."

The burly man in brocade smiled smugly and began to speak slowly.

However, his little scheme seemed to have failed. After asking, Li Yunjing remained silent.

As for the others present, they all seemed to remain silent.

This "mysterious ice stone" is truly a wonderful thing!
But it has nothing to do with 99% of the cultivators present!
Many advanced Qi Refining cultivators prefer to spend their limited resources on assisting Foundation Establishment. As for the issue of spiritual artifacts after Foundation Establishment?
Then we can't worry about that anymore!

They already knew in their hearts which was more important than which could be had.

With the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment Realm, lifespan increases greatly, abilities increase significantly, and the ability to earn spirit stones becomes stronger.

With their lifespans no longer a concern, it becomes much easier for them to gather resources again and refine their own magical artifacts.

For this reason, the scene was extremely quiet.

After waiting for a while, no one made a bid. The burly man in brocade robes looked extremely embarrassed. The exciting transaction he had envisioned seemed impossible to happen!

The atmosphere at the scene was incredibly eerie!

Helpless, the burly man in brocade turned his gaze to the woman in red, only to find that she remained unmoved and showed no desire for the "Mystic Ice Stone" whatsoever.

The fact that a wealthy man remained unmoved chilled the heart of the burly man in brocade robes, so he turned his gaze back to Li Yunjing.

This is another heavyweight guest at this trade fair.

The burly man in brocade robes placed all his hopes on Li Yunjing.

He certainly doesn't want a bad start!
"Hmm... I've run out of spirit stones."

Li Yunjing's words sent a chill down the spine of the burly man in brocade robes; this time, they were truly doomed!

The fact that the first item failed to sell at auction is hardly a good sign.

The people at "Jubaolou" are very particular about these things!
"However! I can scrape together 1000 low-grade spirit stones and 1000 'Qi-replenishing pills'. That's all I have. If you agree, we can trade; if not, forget it!"

Li Yunjing waved his hand dismissively and said.

Li Yunjing's words caused a great stir, and everyone was in an uproar.

When did "Qi-boosting pills" start being traded for thousands of yuan?

"This……"

The burly man in brocade robes looked extremely grim.

A thousand "Qi-replenishing pills," at the price of five spirit stones each in their "Treasure Pavilion," would leave him penniless.

Such a price is unacceptable under any circumstances!
Seemingly sensing the displeasure of the burly man in brocade robes, Li Yunjing chuckled and added, "Among these are 500 Qi-replenishing pills refined by our 'Shenxiao Dao Sect,' the best Qi-replenishing pills in the entire Ming Dynasty!"

"hiss……"

These words caused another uproar in the audience.

Meanwhile, the woman in red on the other side sneered, seemingly very dissatisfied with Li Yunjing's statement that the Qi-replenishing pill was the best in the entire Ming Dynasty's cultivation world!

However, the woman in red did not stand up to refute this.

Li Yunjing's words softened the expression on the burly man's face slightly.

Elixirs are divided into nine grades, and "Qi-tonifying elixirs" are no exception.

Each pill has a different quality.

A high level of alchemy skill, a high-grade alchemy furnace, and skillful refining techniques; long growth cycle and vigorous growth of herbs; weather, surrounding environmental conditions... all these factors affect the quality of the finished product.

There's a reason for this. The "Qi-Boosting Pills" sold by "Jubaolou" in "Wanjiancheng" are naturally of very low quality.

Within the sphere of influence of some major sects, the "Treasure Pavilion" sells high-quality "Qi-replenishing pills".

This rationing method mainly depends on the local consumption level.

Within the sphere of influence of the "Ten Thousand Swords Sect," the cultivators are all rough and unrefined swordsmen, and taking a few ordinary "Qi-replenishing pills" is enough for them.

The pills that Li Yunjing obtained by killing his fellow disciples, as well as the pills he bought from "Yueminglou", are all high-end products, worth more than 10 spirit stones each!
Such pills, when circulating in the outside world, naturally become even more valuable; a single pill can even fetch 12-13 low-grade spirit stones.

Of course, there's a reason why they're expensive. Pills have less residue and more potent effects, making them easier for cultivators to absorb and refine.

In short, you won't regret buying high-end goods!
Those who have money will naturally buy and use the best things!
The high-grade "Qi-replenishing pills" produced by the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" must be good stuff.

However, it seems a bit troublesome to sell goods in "Ten Thousand Swords City", since the prices are lower there.

However, this elixir is a valuable item. After calculating the costs, I won't lose anything, so it might be worth trading it.

The burly man in brocade robes considered it for a moment, gritted his teeth, and nodded in agreement, saying, "Alright! We'll change it!"

Seeing that the other party agreed, Li Yunjing chuckled, quickly untied his "treasure pouch," and began to look through it.

The eyes of everyone present became increasingly intense as Li Yunjing continued to pull out good things from his "treasure bag," and many people even swallowed hard!

Besides having a lot of spirit stones, I didn't expect this person to also have so many pills!
These pills should be enough for one person to cultivate from the first level of Qi Refining to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, right?

As expected of a young master from a powerful family! Many people couldn't even contain their impulses, grabbing their flying swords, killing Li Yunjing, plundering his wealth, and fleeing to the ends of the earth.

But considering Li Yunjing's identity, and seeing that there were six experts on the "Jubaolou" side, he was shocked.

They had to suppress their impulses.

Even the man in the straw hat was dumbfounded. This young master from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" had already prepared all the cultivation resources, unlike them who were struggling!
This made the man in the straw hat feel envious, jealous, and resentful!
Faced with such a generous guest, the burly man in brocade robes made an exception and stepped down from the auction stage, carrying the priceless "Mysterious Ice Stone," and came to a distance of about ten feet from Li Yunjing.

The burly man in brocade robes watched as the young master of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" kept searching for treasures, and he couldn't help but swallow hard. He was also envious!
"Alright! This storage bag contains what you need!"

Li Yunjing tossed the storage bag to the burly man in brocade robes, then thought for a moment and said, "Give me ten storage bags. I've been giving away too many storage bags lately, so I can't make any more trades."

"Uh... is this even human language?"

Almost everyone present had this thought in their minds.

When trading with other people, you naturally wouldn't give them the storage bag along with the item, unless it's a large transaction.

Li Yunjing's trading method—discarding a storage bag after each transaction—was absolutely astounding.

"Okay! I'll do whatever you say!"

The burly man in brocade robes gave a wry smile. Such a big client had special privileges; he had no choice but to admit it!

He could only grit his teeth and go for it.

You should know that even the ten smallest storage bags are worth 100 spirit stones!
That's not a low price!

Ask any of these people here, how many of them would dare to give away ten storage bags for free?

"Thank you!"

Along with the "Mysterious Ice Stone" and ten storage bags, Li Yunjing put them all into his "Treasure Bag".

In the distance, the woman in red was dumbfounded. How could an outer disciple of the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" be richer than her?
Outrageous!

This is impossible!

Am I seeing things?
The woman in red couldn't help but rub her eyes. She had run away from home and traveled to many places, but she had never seen such a wealthy Qi Refining cultivator before!
At this moment, those who were paying attention had already calculated that Young Master Li Yunjing's total spending was as high as 41500 spirit stones!

"hiss……"

When this number was released, many people's hearts clenched painfully.

They're having a hard time accepting this!
Some small cultivation families don't even earn this much in a year!
Moreover, the income of these families must be distributed among all family members.

Each person can only access a few dozen to a few hundred or even a thousand dollars of wealth.

Li Yunjing is worth an entire family!
Li Yunjing didn't care how much of a shock he caused others, or what use these odds and ends he had.

Almost all of them are treasures belonging to cultivators who have undergone tribulations!

It's unknown how many cultivators they killed to accumulate this wealth.

Normally, these things only take up space in his "treasure trove" and do nothing to improve his strength; trading them away is the best use for them.

Now, Li Yunjing already possesses three spiritual items: "Gengjin", "Tiangong Shenbing", and "Xuanbingshi". As long as he gathers fire and wood spiritual items, he can begin to refine the "Five Dragon Wheel".

The man in the straw hat standing next to Li Yunjing remained silent, his heart filled with anxiety and uncertainty.

This disciple of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" has a very powerful background. Should we reveal everything?

But if I tell him everything, and this person has looted the entire valley, wouldn't I be left with nothing?
That's a "Thunderstone" mining area!

A huge treasure!

With such a treasure, the man in the straw hat even dared to dream of reaching the Golden Core realm!
Li Yunjing's assertiveness made him hesitate and unable to make a decision.

Perhaps he was lying and was about to be killed by the protector of this "Shenxiao Daozong" disciple?
And even with the method of soul searching, the secret cannot be hidden?
As a result, the man in the straw hat became somewhat absent-minded.

Fortunately, he was wearing a bamboo hat, which prevented anyone from seeing through his disguise with divine sense. Otherwise, Li Yunjing would have laughed, which was exactly the result he wanted!

"Cough cough!"

After the burly man in brocade robes stepped onto the stage, he coughed and continued, "The second item is a top-grade magic weapon with both offensive and defensive capabilities: the Purple Cloud Pearl!"

"When activated, this item can gather purple light to protect the body. In addition, it can nourish the soul and enhance the spirit. Its value is unparalleled among magical artifacts, and it is definitely the best among them!"

A cultivator from the Treasure Pavilion displayed it on a tray, and sure enough, it emitted a faint purple light, making it incredibly beautiful.

Li Yunjing's heart skipped a beat; this was a good thing!

If you were to buy it and give it to Yu Yunyi, it would be a nice gift.

With that thought in mind, Li Yunjing no longer hesitated and asked, "How many spirit stones does the 'Purple Cloud Pearl' cost?"

"Forehead……"

Everyone was taken aback. You still want to buy it?

Didn't you run out of money?
Even the burly man in the brocade robe showed surprise, wondering what Li Yunjing meant.
"Not selling?"

Li Yunjing raised an eyebrow, his face showing displeasure.

Honestly, this "Purple Cloud Bead" is completely transparent purple, with a wisp of purple aura flowing inside, which is very beautiful. Especially with the warm and smooth texture of the bead, it is definitely a wonderful piece to play with!
Yes! It's a nice thing to keep and play with!

Li Yunjing didn't think that Yu Yunyi would value such a top-grade magic weapon much; winning the beauty's smile was enough.

"Selling! Worth 2000 low-grade spirit stones!"

The burly man in brocade robes said viciously.

Why aren't you selling?

Not only do we want to sell, but we want to sell at a high price!
He now realized that he had been tricked by the mysterious young master; he didn't actually run out of spirit stones.

This is clearly a bargaining tactic!
It's also my own fault for being so ignorant that I didn't see through the mysterious young master's trick!

Of course, most importantly, he underestimated the amount of wealth Li Yunjing possessed!
"Bought it!"

Li Yunjing nodded. He naturally wouldn't haggle over the price; it was a gift for Yu Yunyi.

Even in Li Yunjing's mind, he felt that the price of "Purple Cloud Pearl" was too low!
If it were three or four thousand spirit stones, how could I casually mention the price when giving it to Yu Yunyi, so that I could save face?

"Um! Did any of you make a bid?"

Seeing how readily Li Yunjing offered his price, the burly man in brocade robes began to regret his decision.

It seemed his bottom price was a bit too low, so he turned to look at the others and suddenly shouted.

But everyone else remained silent!
A top-grade magic artifact is worth 2000 low-grade spirit stones; only a madman would buy it!

Only spendthrift young masters would buy such rubbish!
To know the market price, a top-quality offensive magic weapon is generally around 500 spirit stones; while a top-quality defensive magic weapon is 300 spirit stones higher than that.

As for those special top-grade magic artifacts, they are more precious, but they rarely reach a price of 2000 spirit stones!
In their eyes, Li Yunjing was nothing but a sucker!
A foolish and wasteful young master!

Some of the older monks secretly warned themselves that they could not educate their children and grandchildren in this way, and that they must correct their bad habits severely when they returned home!

You must know that diligence and thrift are essential for managing a household well!
"Ugh!"

Seeing that no one else made a move, the burly man in brocade robes had no choice but to reluctantly make another deal with Li Yunjing.

At this moment, Li Yunjing's total spending had reached 43500 low-grade spirit stones!

They continue to break the record for single-person, single-session spending at the "Ten Thousand Swords City" Jubao Tower branch!

Where is this young master's limit?

This aroused the curiosity of many monks participating in the trade fair!
"The third treasure! A second-tier, mid-level spirit talisman, the 'Samadhi True Fire Talisman'!"

With a sigh, the burly man in brocade robes rallied and continued to introduce the third treasure.

"Good stuff!"

"How many spirit stones?"

"This talisman is a lifesaver!"

"I'm determined to win!"

……

Finally, the third item auctioned by the burly man in brocade robes caused a sensation, with countless people vying to inquire about it.

The burly man in brocade robes glanced at Li Yunjing, but seeing that the young master remained unmoved, he couldn't tell whether the young master intended to buy or not.

The burly man in brocade robes dared not ask for a price arbitrarily, and could only say according to the originally agreed price: "3000 low-grade spirit stones! This is a good thing for self-defense and life protection! Even if you don't need it yourself, it can be passed down in the family. As long as it is not activated, it can be preserved for two hundred years without any problem!"
