Green Field Cave Heaven is one of the very few cave heavens opened up specifically for Jindan cultivators. There are many Jindan resources inside it. What attracts Jindan cultivators the most are the resources for advancing to the Nascent Soul stage.

Every time the Green Field Cave opens, several Yuanying ancestors will emerge among the Jindan cultivators who enter it.

This shows the importance of Green Field Cave to Jindan cultivators, which also makes Li Shiming very excited.

He looked at the time. It would take about twelve years for the next Green Field Cave Heaven to open. He had obtained the "Treading Cloud Order" and happened to catch up with the time when the Green Field Cave Heaven opened. This was simply an opportunity tailor-made for him.

The location of the Green Fields Cave Heaven is random. Only in the first ten days after the cave heaven opens can the location of the Green Fields Cave Heaven be found with the help of the "Stepping Cloud Order".

Li Shiming got the information he wanted, and he felt grateful to Patriarch Yu. No matter what the other party's plan was, it was indeed a great help to him.

He himself was very clear about his situation. Because he had tried to practice at will, he had five golden elixirs in his body.

Although the five golden elixirs gave him an almost absolute advantage in combat power among his peers, they also brought him great trouble.

He didn't know what would happen if the five golden elixirs broke through the pill and formed an infant. According to the analysis of his life-long magic weapon IBMz15, the energy he needed to advance to the Nascent Soul stage would be far beyond that of an ordinary great elder. He would need at least five times the resources to form an infant before he dared to try.

If he used normal means to trade for infant resources through alchemy, it would take an extremely long time.

You have to know that he is still a casual cultivator at present. The resources he can access are those exposed by various forces, and he still needs to compete with other casual cultivators.

Li Shiming was practicing selflessly in the cave in Wuqing Mountain. He did not waste any spiritual energy. He himself, his clone Li Yuanba, Venerable Hui Jing, and the three living dead all needed to consume spiritual energy.

Recently, no late Jindan cultivator has come to him to make elixirs. He doesn't know why, but he doesn't ask any more questions.

Anyway, his purpose of refining elixirs for late Jindan cultivators has been achieved. Now that no late Jindan cultivators are looking for him, he can have more time to practice.

In fact, this was an order issued by Patriarch Yu, not allowing the Jindan cultivators from Wuqing Mountain to disturb Li Shiming's rest before the auction.

The energy consumed by an alchemy master in the late Jindan stage to refine a furnace of fourth-grade elixir is astonishing. Patriarch Yu did this for Li Shiming's health, fearing that those late Jindan cultivators would not know the seriousness of the matter and would affect Li Shiming's physical recovery.

Li Shiming's quiet days did not end until the day of the auction. He walked out of his cave and flew towards the auction venue.

The auction house was a separate building in Wuqing Mountain. When he flew closer, he found that it was already very lively here.

This auction is a small auction held once a year, and all cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage can participate.

The number of Foundation Establishment cultivators in Wuqing Mountain alone is a huge number, not to mention the cultivators who have rushed over from nearby Wuqing Mountain.

It is normal to describe the place as a sea of ​​people at this time. Seeing so many cultivators, Li Shiming calculated in his mind that with so many cultivators pouring into Wuqing Mountain, the entrance fee alone would be a considerable income for Wuqing Mountain.

Not to mention that those who can come here all have more or less the intention to buy.

Fortunately, the entrance for Jindan cultivators was different from that for Foundation Establishment cultivators, so he didn't need to wait in line.

He came to the entrance for Jindan monks and took out his token. The monk who checked the token took it and placed it on the magic circle in front of him. After seeing the information on it, he couldn't help but show surprise on his face.

"Senior, I will send someone to take you to the box right away!" The monk respectfully returned the token to Li Shiming and said.

He called a monk who was helping and whispered something to him.

Li Shiming didn't expect that he would be arranged to stay in a private box, but it was not a big deal. He thought it was probably Yu An's work.

With his status, he has every right to enjoy the box.

In the past, he wouldn't have been invited to an auction of this level even if they invited him.

Under the guidance of the monk, he entered the auction house.

The auction hall used a space formation to expand its area, only in this way could it accommodate a large number of monks.

Li Shiming's box is on the third floor. The auction hall is an oval-shaped building. The first floor is for the Foundation Establishment stage auction, the second floor is for the Golden Core stage and above spiritual objects auction, and the third floor is all private rooms.

The most peculiar thing about the design is that the Jindan monks sitting on the second floor can not only see the auction on the second floor, but also watch the auction on the first floor below, and can also participate in the auction on the first and second floors at the same time.

As for the boxes on the third floor, like the Jindan cultivators on the second floor, they can watch and participate in the auctions on the first and second floors.

When Li Shiming arrived at the third floor, he discovered that the design of the third floor actually also had an auction function, but it seemed that since there were few or no fourth-grade spiritual objects this time, the auction function on this floor was not activated.

The boxes on the third floor were oval in shape, and there seemed to be no distinction between the main and the secondary. He was taken to a box opposite the auction table.

The monk who led the way bowed and left, and Li Shiming entered the box.

The box is large enough to accommodate dozens of people and appears to be very spacious. A row of soft reclining chairs faces the auction table. In front of it is an activated formation, which can be manipulated to display the auction screen below for viewing and bidding.

Sitting in the box, even without the help of the formation, this distance does not actually affect the cultivator's observation of the items on the auction table. Not to mention the items on the second floor, even the items on the first floor can be seen clearly.

However, this formation has greatly improved the style of the box, allowing the monks sitting in the box to feel the difference between themselves and the monks below.

He sat down on the soft chair and began to study the formation in front of him.

The greatest benefit for him after coming to Dongqi Continent was the improvement of his formation.

Whether it was the knowledge of formations he gained or every encounter with formations, they were all supplements to his formations.

The formation of the Dongqi continent is different from that of the Beishu continent. His formation, the Starlight Sea, has expanded a lot recently.

His Formation Starlight Sea is also a database of his natal magic weapon IBMz15. IBMz15 retrieves formation knowledge from the Formation Starlight Sea, and adds the formation insights gained back to the Formation Starlight Sea.

He had a feeling that this formation of starlight sea was not that simple, but his current realm was too low and he was unable to truly explore the wonders of the formation of starlight sea.

Just then, the door of the box opened and two beautiful female cultivators walked in.

They each held a pot of spiritual tea and a plate of spiritual fruit in their hands, placed them on the low table in front of Li Shiming, and then consciously left the box.

Li Shiming raised his brows slightly. The plate of spiritual fruits contained third-grade spiritual fruits. That was fine. For a cultivator who could own a private room, enjoying third-grade spiritual fruits was nothing.

What surprised him was the spiritual tea. It was a cup of fourth-grade spiritual tea. Although there was only one tea leaf in the cup, it was still fourth-grade spiritual tea.

The auction at Wuqing Mountain prepared fourth-grade spiritual tea for the monks in the private rooms, but I am afraid that I won’t even be able to recover the cost and will even suffer a huge loss.

Any spiritual object that reaches the fourth level becomes a spiritual object of another level.

However, he soon thought of Ancestor Yu. He refined a furnace of fourth-grade elixirs for Ancestor Yu, thinking that this was prepared by Ancestor Yu for him.

He smiled, thinking that today's auction might allow him to come into contact with Nascent Soul cultivators, which was exactly what he wanted.

After always being in contact with Jindan cultivators, he felt that his level had declined.

It didn't take long before the auction started, with both the first and second floors being auctioned simultaneously.

The first floor auctions only second-grade spiritual objects, while the second floor begins to auction third-grade spiritual objects.

Li Shiming just watched. Second and third grade spiritual objects were the same to him and none of them interested him.

He took a sip of the fourth-grade spiritual tea, then shook his head involuntarily, thinking that it was a pity that the spiritual tea was wasted.

This is of course compared with his roasting level, but I am afraid that there is really no cultivator in this world of immortal cultivation who can compare with him in the ability to roast spiritual tea.

He roasted the spiritual tea in the computer room, with a control of 10 nanometers. At least no cultivator he had ever seen had such control.

Just as he was drinking the fourth-grade spiritual tea and feeling bored, the spiritual object that interested him finally appeared.

There is a set of fourth-grade formation flags, with a total of eight flags. Although the number of formation flags is a little small, their fourth-grade quality is enough to produce powerful effects in the hands of a formation master.

In the Northern Shu Continent, he had never obtained a fourth-grade formation flag, which was related to the needs of the Northern Shu Continent.

There are no masters of formations among the Yuanying ancestors of the Northern Shu Continent, which makes the fourth-grade formation flags have no market. Instead, the fourth-grade formation plates are more in line with the needs of the Yuanying ancestors.

Li Shiming's own realm was too low. Even if he obtained the fourth-grade formation materials, he could not refine the fourth-grade formation flag.

After seeing the fourth-grade formation flag, his heart was moved.

The fourth-grade formation flag is not something that the Nascent Soul Patriarch can use. He, the great elder, can also use it. However, when he was in the Northern Shu Continent, the Nascent Soul Patriarch himself did not have enough fourth-grade resources, so how could he consider a fourth-grade formation flag for a Jindan stage cultivator?

The appearance of the fourth-grade formation flag not only alarmed the Jindan cultivators on the second floor, but also caused movement in the box on the third floor.

"Box No. 16 has offered 3,500 high-quality spirit stones. Is there anyone who can offer a higher price? This set of fourth-grade formation flags is extremely hard to come by. This is the first time it has appeared in the auction in the past five years. If you miss this opportunity, you don't know when you will see it again!" The auctioneer's voice was extremely encouraging.

Li Shiming only watched for a moment before he realized that his high-quality spirit stones were not enough to pay.

His wealth was not low, and he even had quite a few fourth-grade spiritual objects. However, the origins of most of the fourth-grade spiritual objects in his hands were questionable, and he didn't dare to take them out in such a place.

He thought about it and tapped the calling function in the formation.

After a few breaths, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Li Shiming said in a deep voice.

"Dear guest, what may you need?" The person who came in was a cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core. Although he and Li Shiming were both in the Golden Core stage, he was extremely respectful to Li Shiming and his attitude was extremely humble.

This mid-stage Jindan cultivator knew how important box number three was. Even if it was vacant, cultivators of insufficient status would not be allowed to enter.

The fact that Li Shiming was able to sit in box number three showed that Li Shiming had a very high status.

"I need to appraise the value of this elixir. I want to use it in an auction!" Li Shiming said as he took out a jade bottle and handed it over.

The mid-stage Jindan cultivator was not surprised, as this kind of thing often happened in auctions.

If a cultivator does not have enough spirit stones on him, he will have to use spiritual objects to offset the value of the spirit stones from the auctioneer, which actually puts the cultivator at a disadvantage.

When a spiritual object is handed over to the auctioneer, it will probably be discounted by 20%, which is why the auctioneer is willing to accept the spiritual object.

"Please wait a moment!" he said with a bow, and then opened the jade bottle.

After seeing the elixir in the jade bottle, his expression changed, and at the same time he heard a voice in his ear.

"Dear guest, do you want to bid for eight fourth-grade formation flags? Just make your bid. Your bid can be paid on credit. This fourth-grade elixir is equivalent to five thousand high-grade spirit stones!" he said to Li Shiming.

Li Shiming sensed the voice transmission, but was unable to capture the content of the voice transmission.

However, his telepathy allowed him to hear the thoughts of the cultivator in front of him, and he knew that this was the order from Patriarch Yu.

Five thousand high-quality spirit stones in exchange for a fourth-grade elixir is absolutely a sky-high price, but the value of a fourth-grade elixir is extremely difficult to say.

Any Nascent Soul ancestor needs a fourth-grade elixir. Although there is a price tag, there is no market for fourth-grade elixirs. Every time a fourth-grade elixir is auctioned, the transaction is completed at a sky-high price.

"Thank you, I accept this favor!" Li Shiming said with a smile.

He didn't hesitate and immediately joined the auction.

"Box number three bids 5,000 top-grade spirit stones!" This time the auctioneer did not say anything encouraging.

The monks who had participated in the auction before were all stunned when they heard about box number three.

Li Shiming raised the auction price a lot this time, but this did not reach the bottom line of the eight fourth-grade formation flags in the minds of the monks participating in the auction.

Even so, the monks participating in the auction are also considering whether it is worth buying.

Only monks of noble status are qualified to enter box number three, so we should try our best not to offend such monks.

The monk in Box No. 3 showed his determination to win by significantly raising the bid.

However, the number of fourth-grade formation flags was too small, and the cultivators who participated in the auction did not intend to win one.

While the monks were still considering, the auctioneer had already started counting down. His countdown was a little too fast, and even though some monks wanted to continue participating, they found it was too late.

With a "bang", the auctioneer brought down the hammer.

"Congratulations to the guest in Box No. 3! You have won a fourth-grade formation flag!" The auctioneer said to Box No. 3 above with a fist salute.

Li Shiming handed the fourth-grade elixir to the cultivator waiting beside him. Not long after, eight fourth-grade formation flags were also delivered, and the deal was done.
