"The inheritance of the second-level alchemy master, the starting price is two thousand medium-grade spirit stones."

The auctioneer did not dare to delay and made room for half of his body to reveal the jade slip of alchemy inheritance for the second-level alchemist.

Then, he announced the lowest starting price.

As soon as the words fell.

"Two thousand middle-grade spirit stones."

"Three thousand middle-grade spirit stones."

"Three thousand five hundred middle-grade spirit stones."

…

In the city of Sijiu, several wealthy families are eyeing the inheritance of the second-level alchemist. Even if they cannot cash in in the short term, after several generations of accumulation, they may be able to become an alchemy family.

No family can ignore that kind of prospect.

The bidding was fierce. Only the top families in the city or the spokespersons of major foreign forces were eligible to participate.

The independent cultivators in the border areas may have powerful methods, but their methods of making money are really no match for these people.

In a luxurious private room, an old man with neatly combed hair watched the others bidding. When the price was about to be decided, he finally made a move and said, "Five thousand middle-grade spirit stones."

Even for him, this is not a fortune that can be taken out casually, but as long as he can obtain the alchemy inheritance of a second-level alchemist, everything will be worth it.

"With such a price, even if we broke our family's savings, we still couldn't come up with it."

The head of the Tian family, the most important family in Sijiu City, sighed. The three thousand five hundred middle-grade spirit stones were collected by emptying the family treasury. If the price was raised any further, all of them, young and old, would be left with nothing.

"A second-level alchemist must have a rich family background."

The rest of the immortal cultivation families also gave up the idea of ​​competing.

They knew the person who was bidding. He was Li Chengru, who was famous throughout the area for thousands of miles. He was a second-class alchemist and was extremely capable.

Being financially strong is one thing, but having a wide circle of friends is the real reason why they dare not offend.

"Will this person compete with Li Chengru?"

In another private room, He An secretly glanced at the young man next to him. He knew that Chen Sheng also came here to inherit the alchemy skills of a second-level alchemist.

At this time, Li Chengru, the second-level alchemist, came to an end.

I just wonder if Chen Sheng will be afraid of the opponent's momentum and choose to retreat? "Six thousand medium-grade spirit stones."

Mr. Chen didn't know what He An was thinking. Even if he knew, he would have smiled calmly. When he saw that the small players had been cleared out, he also started bidding.

He has no shortage of spirit stones.

Having sat in the position of Medicine House Elder for decades, he had accumulated a large amount of resources for cultivation.

"The one from the Red Line Building?"

This statement drew the attention of everyone in the auction hall. Anyone who could speak at this moment was very wealthy.

After learning that it was Chen Sheng, they calmed down a lot. A being that could kill a Foundation Establishment Realm warrior was not someone to be trifled with.

“The fun begins.”

There are also people who just want to have fun, they sit back and watch the fight between the two bosses, as if it is none of their business, feeling very comfortable.

"I will add another two hundred top-grade Qi Condensation Pills."

Li Chengru no longer had any spirit stones on hand, but his expression remained unchanged. The true foundation of an alchemist was never spirit stones or other objects, but elixirs.

He spent a huge amount of money and bought two hundred top-grade Qi Condensation Pills.

"This is the charm of an alchemist. If a family has this resource, the cultivation path of the younger generation will be smooth sailing."

The senior executives in every household are so envious.

The reason why they value the alchemy inheritance of the second-level alchemist and are willing to sell everything they have in order to obtain it is just for this.

Top-grade Qi Condensing Pills are rarely circulated in the market.

Even if they rarely appeared, there were only one or two. If they took out more than two hundred at once, even if they wanted to buy them, they would have nowhere to buy them.

One has to become an alchemist so that the younger generations of the family won't have to worry about elixirs.

"No matter what, Jingxiao Chamber of Commerce has made a profit."

Some family leaders have already been planning to take away some of the top-grade Qi Condensation Pills from the Jingxiao Chamber of Commerce.

This kind of elixir is of great help to cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage. Supplying it to the geniuses in the clan can greatly enhance their potential and allow them to go further.

"After appraisal by our Chamber of Commerce, this batch of top-grade Qi Condensation Pills is worth two thousand mid-grade spirit stones."

The manager of Jingxiao Chamber of Commerce did not dare to delay and hurried to Li Chengru's private room to count the two hundred top-grade Qi Condensation Pills. After confirming that they were correct, he gave a price.

One wave has not yet subsided.

One wave comes after another.

"Three hundred top-grade Qi Condensation Pills!"

Before everyone could recover from their shock, Chen Sheng made another bid of three hundred top-grade Qi Condensation Pills, which made him shout out with a sense of ease.

This is the confidence of Elder Yaolu.

"hiss!"

Everyone in the auction hall went crazy for it.

Too violent.

Top-grade Qi Condensing Pills were thrown in with a clang. Normally, this kind of thing is hard to come by, but today they are popping out all at once like common merchandise.

All together, there are exactly five hundred of them.

"Mr. Li is a second-level alchemist. His family background is strong, so I understand. What are the backgrounds of these two?"

The cultivators with deep thoughts began to speculate that it was not simple at all for Chen Sheng to be able to come up with such a huge amount of cultivation resources.

However, there are too few clues, and people only think that Chen Sheng is a casual cultivator who got rich by killing people and stealing treasures.

The basis for the inference is the battle at the Red Line Building.

"Where did this obstacle come from?"

In the private room, the calmness in Li Chengru's heart had dissipated. There was a fierce light in his eyes. He pressed down all the spirit stones on his body, and also threw down the top-grade Qi Condensation Pills from Dan Yao Datou, but it was still not enough.

This price was beyond his expectations.

And the culprit is not a group of people, but a person who suddenly appeared.

This made him feel resentful.

"I still have a second-level spell in my hand."

After taking a breath, Li Chengru did not lose his composure and offered another price.

Although the second-level magic is still very valuable, it is not in line with his expertise. He has to give it up. The alchemy inheritance of the second-level alchemist is more important.

"I'll add another second-level magic weapon."

Chen Sheng had an expressionless face as he also added a gem. This was an ordinary second-level magic weapon and there was not much use in keeping it.

"A second-level magic weapon, Taoist Mu Shen's ceremonial weapon. He is indeed in danger."

Many cultivators recognized that this gem belonged to Taoist Mu Shen. That top Qi Refining cultivator who was capable of fighting against a Foundation Establishment cultivator was really defeated.

"Damn it! I really want to refine him in fire."

In the private room, Li Chengru's dissatisfaction with Chen Sheng could no longer be suppressed.

He could have obtained the second-level alchemist's alchemy inheritance at a suitable price, but Chen Sheng intervened and forced him into a corner.

"Little brother, if I add another second-level magic weapon, you don't have to bid for it. Just give me some face."

He gritted his teeth and put the rest of his fortune on the line.

At the current price, even a second-level alchemist's alchemy inheritance is enough.

In order to avoid any accidents later, he finally expressed his attitude to Mr. Chen. He knew to stop doing things in moderation. If he continued to raise the price, he would be making an enemy.

"Old Senior, you are breaking the rules of the auction house by doing this."

Mr. Chen teased.

"The people of Jingxiao Chamber of Commerce are very generous and will not take it to heart."

Li Chengru also knew that he had broken the rules, but now was not the time to be superficially friendly. When it comes to competing for the right path, one should not be a pedantic person.

"Harmony brings wealth, harmony brings wealth."

He An was angry, but the person involved was a second-level alchemist, and he couldn't afford to offend him, so he could only respond.

In response, Chen Sheng procrastinated, and when Li Chengru thought the situation was settled, he played a trick on him and said, "Then I... will add two more first-level magic weapons."

What he hates most is people who take advantage of their power to bully others.

Although two first-level magic weapons are not many, they can be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

"How dare you insult me, boy?"

Li Chengru stood up immediately, his eyes full of flames of anger. Ever since he became an alchemist, he has been flattered wherever he went.

Such humiliation as today's is simply an unprecedented feat.

"You old bastard, you really brought shame upon the alchemist."

Mr. Chen scolded Li Chengru directly, without giving him any face, and his words were full of contempt.

The alchemist in his mind is as gentle and polite as Xifu, with a dignified and elegant character.

Narrow-minded people like Li Chengru are here to disrupt the way of alchemy.

"Okay, I'll remember you."

If the commotion continues, his face will become even more ridiculous, Li Chengru said harshly, and left angrily.

This grudge has been formed.

At the Jingxiao Chamber of Commerce auction, the lavish spending of the two big guys made the cultivators in the Four-Nine City talk about it with great relish, and also made the name of "Mr. Chen" spread very widely.

They were all wondering where this senior had practiced, and how could his single move be so extraordinary.

Only those in the know understand that the storm over this matter has just begun, and it will not subside unless someone vents.

Red Line Building.

"This alchemy inheritance of a second-level alchemist has indeed benefited me a lot."

After returning from Jingxiao Chamber of Commerce, Chen Sheng immediately read through the second-level alchemist's alchemy inheritance.

After reading it over and over again, I felt that every word was full of learning, and I felt that the trip was worthwhile.

"There is an evil atmosphere in the Forty-Nine City."

What Luzhu likes is to get along with Chen Shengping and Wuyou.

Unfortunately, the tree wants to be still but the wind does not stop, and there are always self-righteous people who frequently cause chaos.

At this time, many eyes were watching inside and outside the door and around the room. As long as the formation plate was put down, countless noises and disgusting methods would emerge one by one.

"Why bother with them? They must have some trick up their sleeves."

Mr. Chen was very calm. There were various undercurrents in the city of Sijiu, but he now had enough ability to deal with the coming storms.

Even with just a little effort, you can determine the outcome of the situation.

"The Xilong River secret realm is about to open, and the fish talisman has already moved."

As she was speaking, Luzhu discovered two golden fish symbols, which had changed again. A faint halo of light flowed throughout them, and a touch of spirituality appeared among the dead objects.

"I guess it will be in the next two or three days."

According to the increase of spirituality, she deduced that the opening time of Xilong River Secret Realm should be not far away.

Outside.

The shopkeeper of Hongxian Building led a young man to Room No. 2 of Tianzi.

The man said respectfully: "Senior, He An comes to see you."

He didn't want to get involved in the chaos, but as a part of the Sijiu City, if Jingxiao Chamber of Commerce wanted to survive in this circle, it had to be honest and obedient.

"What are you doing?"

Mr. Chen asked.

"The Tian family is the first family in Sijiu City. Let me be the lobbyist for you, senior."

He An smiled bitterly.

Chen Sheng is mysterious and unpredictable, with superb skills. He can suppress the strength of the foundation-building warriors, so he is someone who should not be provoked.

In the art of alchemy, this person's methods are also unfathomable.

Last time, at the auction, he followed Chen Sheng's instructions and confirmed that the person who bought the Five-Leaf Jade Ginseng was really an alchemist who had just started to learn the art of alchemy, and was also a young man with extraordinary potential. He was hiding his skills in order to conceal them.

In the end, he offered a high price to recruit the young alchemist. Now the Jingxiao Chamber of Commerce has an alchemist in charge.

Based on this point, he had a good impression of Mr. Chen.

But he also knew that at this moment, Mr. Chen was really a big tree that attracted the wind, and many people were watching him. If he was not careful, it would be very dangerous.

"What are they planning?"

The fish talisman that Chen Sheng carried, the alchemy inheritance of a second-level alchemist, and his wealthy fortune were all unforgettable.

It's not surprising that there are people coveting it in the city of Beijing.

"The Tian family and all the forces in the Four Nine City are inviting you and Li Chengru to a banquet. We want to be peacemakers and help you settle your grievances."

He An said truthfully.

As for the Tian family, the Jingxiao Chamber of Commerce was able to circumvent it and not get involved, but they were dragged into it by a large group of forces. If they act on their own, it will be difficult for them to survive in the future.

"Oh, why didn't the Tian clan leader come to see me in person? He is just trying to use his power to pressure me. If I go, won't I be at their mercy?"

How could Chen Sheng not see through Tian's scheme? He knew that each family had some ideas about him, so he took the opportunity to unite the masses. He kept resisting and was confronting the entire Sijiu City.

Even if you lower your head, it is difficult to gain any benefits.

After all, these two fish symbols and the family fortune are too coveted!

"Senior has a keen eye."

He An admired Chen Sheng very much. He thought that Chen Sheng had a broad vision and could understand some things without them being explained in detail.

This doesn't seem like a casual cultivator at all, but more like someone who holds power. He has a very good perspective on things and can grasp the overall situation.

"If I don't go, they have already reached an agreement, and I will be in the Forty-Nine City, surrounded by enemies on all sides."

Mr. Chen shook his head. The forces in Sijiu City were so intertwined and complex that he, an outsider, would naturally be targeted if he entered.

"What a good plan."

Luzhu said coldly.

Between the pros and cons, all parties in the Four-Nine Cities can handle it well.

It's just the two of them. If it were the other monks, they would have died a miserable death.

"What about the time?"

Mr. Chen said calmly.

"Three days later at 9:00 pm, Tian Mansion."

After He An conveyed the message, he reminded him, "Senior, the Xilong River is connected to the outside world, maybe we can give it a try."

As for why he reminded him, he thought Chen Sheng was a good person, kind to others, and had the ability to break the rules, but he also acted according to the rules.

Moreover, the calculations of the people in the Sijiu City may not be useful to this person.

Because from beginning to end, he never felt any worry on the surface from Mr. Chen.

"I know about this."

Mr. Chen glanced at He An and nodded.

This is indeed a solution, but when he was weak, he did not panic over matters of life and death. Now that he is a foundation-building cultivator, he naturally will not panic either.

"Take care of yourself."

When talking to a smart person, you don't need to say much, one or two sentences are enough.

Afterwards, He An resigned and left.
