However, unexpectedly, the final price of this Foundation Establishment Pill actually broke through the 20,000 spirit stones mark, which is quite rare!
This can be said to have broken the record for the auction price of Foundation Building Pills at Tianhai Tower.
Lu Xuan was also puzzled by this.
Later, I learned from several independent cultivators nearby:
It turns out that the Foundation Establishment Pills in the hands of the Righteous Alliance of the Yunmeng Mountains are becoming increasingly scarce.
They almost never put them up for auction anymore!
Take Tianhai Sect for example. It's said that they won't release any more Foundation Establishment Pills to outsiders before the Tiandu Secret Realm opens. Even within the sect, the competition for Foundation Establishment Pills among the disciples is incredibly fierce.
No wonder so many cultivators at this auction were willing to pay any price to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill.
It seems that if Lu Xuan wants to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm in the future, he will have to go to the Heavenly Capital Secret Realm.
There's no rush right now.
He is currently only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, and there is still a long way to go before reaching the great perfection of the twelfth level of Qi Refining.
Even with the help of a precious cauldron, it would still take several years.
Furthermore, consuming too many pills can lead to instability in one's cultivation level after a breakthrough.
We still need to proceed step by step. With the treasure cauldron to accelerate the ripening of spiritual herbs, we no longer need to worry about a lack of pills and spirit stones.
It's best to build up your skills step by step, steadily and surely.
It is said that the more profound and flawless one's magical power, the greater the chance of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage!
Lu Xuan naturally believed this.
Another theory is that once you reach the Foundation Establishment stage, consuming too many pills can lead to the gradual accumulation of pill toxins, which is a significant hidden danger. However, that's something to worry about after advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Back to the auction.
After the three Foundation Building Pills were auctioned off.
The next item caused another sensation among the cultivators present!
The elderly deacon on the platform said:
"This auction item is a fine, top-grade magical artifact!"
"The top-grade magic artifact, the Netherworld Shield, starts at 11,000 spirit stones!"
The moment the words were spoken, the thousands of cultivators present began to whisper and discuss among themselves:
"It's actually a top-grade magic weapon!"
"That's rare. Tianhai Tower hasn't auctioned any top-grade magic artifacts for three years. Foundation Establishment Pills, on the other hand, are auctioned three to five times a year! Of course, there definitely won't be any more Foundation Establishment Pills auctioned for a while... It's a pity. Even if we could enter the Heavenly Capital Secret Realm, it would be fraught with danger..."
"Yes, top-grade magic weapons are extremely rare. Even Foundation Establishment cultivators would go to great lengths to acquire them. To a Foundation Establishment cultivator, they are more precious than Foundation Establishment Pills. How could we, as rogue cultivators at the Qi Refining stage, possibly compare to them..."
Lu Xuan, who was in the corner, had a change in expression.
The Netherworld Shield?
It sounds like a top-tier defensive artifact.
Unfortunately, his current cultivation level is still a bit low. At present, he mainly needs to buy a few rare late-stage Qi Refining pills to break through his current bottleneck from the peak of the seventh to the eighth level of Qi Refining.
Reaching the ninth level of Qi Refining is not difficult after that; it's almost a natural progression.
