While waiting, Ling Tian released all of his flying demon-eating ant kings and four-winged demon-eating ant kings to give him the soul-pulling lotion. As for him, he entered the space to continue condensing the immortal essence pill. His body still needed tens of millions of pills to completely shed his mortal body and achieve an immortal body. This process would take a very long time.
"Only condensing ten pellets a day, even with a thousand times the flow rate, is still quite painful."
Time passed day after day, year after year, and in the blink of an eye, ten years had passed. The mineral-eating beast could not wait, but a new batch of gold-eating ants hatched. He could use them to produce metal for him. The effect was naturally not as powerful as that of the mineral-eating beast, but he had the advantage of numbers, so it was still okay.
Ling Tian was not in a hurry to upgrade these thirty gold-eating ants. He wanted to earn spirit stones for himself first.
Each gold-eating ant can produce three kilograms of black iron for him a day, which is worth 200,000 low-grade spirit stones, which is quite good.
Ling Tianti, after more than ten thousand years of condensing the immortal essence pill in his body, finally achieved an immortal body. His defense is now the strongest below the Mahayana realm.
Leaving Xiao Jin here to collect black iron and spiritual lotion, Ling Tian returned to Wutie City. At this time, in the City Lord's Mansion, he collected the spiritual stones that Liu Shengxin had earned in the past ten years. He was quite satisfied. He earned more than 300 million high-quality spiritual stones in ten years, which was really good.
"Well done. This bottle of elixir is a reward for you. I believe you can break through to the Nascent Soul stage within three years."
“Thank you, Master!”
It can be seen that Liu Shengxin is very excited. As long as he breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, he can manage two more mines. At that time, the sales of elixirs will increase several times, and he will be able to obtain more rewards from Ling Tian. A higher realm is already beckoning to him.
"Oh, Master, I've heard that Gengjin City is about to start auctioning off dozens of nuclear ores. Among them is a mithril core. If we can get it, I estimate that it will pay off in ten thousand years. Every year thereafter, we can earn tens of millions of high-grade spirit stones worth of mithril mines. It's like raising a goose that lays golden eggs."
This piece of news made Ling Tian's heart excited. This mineral core was just like the spirit core. Both were magical things that absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and gathered to produce ores.
But he didn't dare to think about these things. His hundreds of millions of high-grade spirit stones probably wouldn't even be enough to cover a fraction of them. In fact, he sent these ant kings to devour the ore, not only to obtain the spirit emulsion, but also to find the ore core. It's just that the ore vein is so huge that there has been no news for more than ten years.
"It depends on fate."
Three months later, after several teleportation arrays, Ling Tian finally arrived at the Gengjin City mentioned by Liu Shengxin. This metal star field was so ridiculously large that it was hard to imagine how much money it would make for the powerful people who obtained the heart of the world here.
Although this place is called Gengjin City, it is not built with Gengjin, but with alloys such as black iron and black copper. However, the iconic building in the center is made of Gengjin. In terms of value alone, the value of this 6-story building is estimated to be equivalent to the cost of building one hundred black iron cities.
Ling Tian's goal was Gengjin Building, because the auction was held here, and he came here to see it for himself, but he was powerless to buy it.
The auction will be held in the evening, and an invitation is required, so Ling Tian naturally needs to go.
Soon the target appeared, a pot-bellied late Nascent Soul cultivator with a weak breath. It was obvious that this realm was forced to be built. The guards around him were all in the early Spirit Transformation stage. It seemed that they were either the dignitaries of a certain force or the descendants of some powerful person.
A tiny particle of dust was blown into the luxurious animal carriage and fell into the man's hair. Then the man fell into a daze and fell into a deep sleep.
According to the stolen information, the man is Huang Tao, the son of the master of the Iron Marrow Palace. Their palace is ranked among the top ten in the metal galaxy. This time he came to represent the palace in competing for these mineral cores.
A few hours later, Ling Tian, as the only personal bodyguard, followed the man into the auction house. As the top ten forces, they were treated with very high standards. Not only did they have independent VIP rooms, but they also had various precious spiritual fruits and spiritual wines, and were accompanied by beautiful women.
Huang Tao was also a sex-crazed man, and the two serving women could not escape his lustful hands. Huang Tao did not avoid Ling Tian's presence and fought directly with a gun.
It was okay, just average. He ended the fight just as the auction was about to start. He seemed to know what was important.
"Thank you all for coming today. As usual, there will be no low prices for today's items."
"The first item is a low-grade black copper ore core. Let's get started."
"One billion."
"Is this all the courage the Cast Iron Gang has? Five billion!"
"Six billion, Copper Refining Sect, continue if you can."
Ling Tian was shocked and speechless. The trading units here were mid-grade spirit stones, and they reached 6 billion at the beginning. It can be seen how wealthy these people are.
"It truly is worthy of being a higher-level galaxy. This level of wealth is truly terrifying."
Ling Tian sighed, the price had already been fixed at 10 billion medium-grade spirit stones. In fact, he was able to get it, but the low-grade mineral core was not very attractive.
The next ones were basically low-grade mineral cores. Ling Tian was not in a hurry to buy them, but Huang Tao next to him did take a few pieces. He was really rich.
"The next item we're auctioning is a mid-grade black gold ore core. This is a rare and exquisite item."
As soon as the host said this, there was a lot of discussion at the scene. This was information they had not received in advance. The black gold mine was in the hands of the number one force, the Jinwu Sect. How could such a mineral core appear?
"Everyone, don't worry about the auction. This black gold ore core was auctioned on our behalf by the Jinwu Sect, so don't worry about any other problems. However, the consignor requires the use of top-grade spirit stones or magic crystals."
"What's the best? Who has so many?"
The scene became even more noisy, but it became completely silent as a powerful divine sense passed by.
"Okay, let's get started."
"Ten thousand."
The one who made the offer was Huang Tao, who was controlled by Ling Tian. He didn't have many top-grade spirit stones, but he had a lot of magic crystal stones.
Although ten thousand top-grade spirit stones are only equivalent to more than one million upper-grade spirit stones, the strategic significance is different because upper-grade spirit stones cannot be exchanged for top-grade spirit stones, and top-grade spirit stones are essential for interstellar transmission and some super-powerful formations. Only top-grade spirit cores and magic crystal cores can produce them, and the annual output is less than one hundred, which can be said to be quite scarce.
Ling Tian happened to have two top-grade magic crystal cores, and the thousand-fold space brought him a lot of top-grade magic crystal stones.
The price Huang Tao offered really shocked many people at the scene. After all, there weren't many sects that could stockpile 10,000 top-grade spirit stones. Even though they had tens of billions or even trillions of mid-grade spirit stones, they didn't have many top-grade spirit stones.
