Chapter 107 Passerby Affected by the Cultivation Novel (13)
Thirty thousand!
"Thirty-one thousand!"
......
Thirty-five thousand.
Soon, the price of the sixth Foundation Establishment Pill reached 35,000 spirit stones. The cultivators participating in the auction calmed down a bit. Chen Wuhen asked around to see if anyone else would raise the price. Seeing that no one responded, he struck the gavel. After the ownership of the sixth Foundation Establishment Pill was decided, the auction for the seventh began.
Thirty-five thousand!
Seeing this, Jiang Yue decided she couldn't wait any longer. The initial and final prices would definitely be high, and these two were the perfect opportunity for her to make her move. After the first person bid 30,000, Jiang Yue immediately raised the price to 35,000. Sure enough, no one else followed, and Jiang Yue pocketed the Foundation Establishment Pill.
For the seventh Foundation Establishment Pill, Jiang Yue used the same trick again, but unfortunately, someone bid 2,000, and Jiang Yue bid another 1,000 to win it. That meant that each pill cost an average of 36,500. This strategy was a waste of time. After bidding for two Foundation Establishment Pills, Jiang Yue stopped bidding and just watched everyone argue heatedly while drinking tea. The price of the last Foundation Establishment Pill had exceeded 50,000, and it seemed that several cultivators had pooled their money together. I wonder how they were going to divide it.
After the Foundation Establishment Pills were auctioned off, Chen Wuhen waved for a maid to bring the second item: "Youth Preservation Pill, which preserves youthful appearance forever after consumption, starting bid 10,000 spirit stones."
Jiang Yue was also envious of the pill, but the price was too high, reaching a price of 50,000 spirit stones. Jiang Yue clicked her tongue, it was more expensive than the Foundation Establishment Pill. Sure enough, no matter what, it's always easier to make money off women. In one morning, she auctioned off more than a dozen items, including pills, ores, spiritual weapons, and talismans.
However, everyone was waiting for the afternoon's grand finale, knowing that was the main event. To be on the safe side, Jiang Yue didn't participate. She felt something was off about the auction, so she found Manager Zhang and asked him to help arrange a cultivation room for her breakthrough before going into seclusion. As for matters related to Foundation Establishment, Jiang Yue had spent a lot of money to buy a Foundation Establishment manual and had already learned quite a bit. Now all that was left was to put it into practice.
Upon arriving at the cultivation room, Jiang Yue didn't immediately attempt a breakthrough. Instead, she planned to adjust her physical and mental state first. Unexpectedly, this action saved her a Foundation Establishment Pill. Not long after the auction ended that evening, a loud noise was heard outside. It seemed that a fight had broken out. If she had tried to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage now, it might have been disrupted and caused her to fail.
The commotion subsided on the second night. Jiang Yue waited a few more days, and on the fifth day, she officially began her Foundation Establishment. Sitting cross-legged on the futon in the cultivation room, Jiang Yue entered a meditative state and began to circulate her cultivation technique to absorb spiritual energy with all her might. Soon, the spiritual energy in her body reached its peak. Although there was a lot of spiritual energy, not much of it was liquefied. Seeing this, Jiang Yue understood that it was time to take the Foundation Establishment Pill. Without hesitation, she swallowed the Foundation Establishment Pill she was holding in her mouth.
The Foundation Establishment Pill was like a spark that instantly ignited and liquefied the spiritual energy. After an unknown amount of time, all the spiritual energy in Jiang Yue's dantian finally turned into liquefied mana. Because Jiang Yue's spiritual energy was condensed, unlike other cultivators whose liquefied spiritual energy was pitifully small, Jiang Yue's dantian was half full of liquefied spiritual energy.
After the spiritual energy liquefied, Jiang Yue's spiritual sense also underwent a transformation. Her spiritual sense, which was almost at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, directly reached the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. She also felt that her body refinement cultivation was about to break through. After the transformation was completed, Jiang Yue began her first cultivation in the Foundation Establishment stage. She had thoroughly mastered the Foundation Establishment part of the "Five Spirits Technique" and began to consolidate her cultivation with ease.
After running for several cycles, the Foundation Establishment was successfully completed. Looking at the time, it had been half a month since I entered. I couldn't waste the remaining half month. I needed to learn some Foundation Establishment spells. Otherwise, having the realm but no corresponding methods would be useless. I couldn't just use common spells to fool people during the Foundation Establishment stage. I had to find a way to get some powerful spells.
A month later, Jiang Yue's cultivation had been completely stabilized. She had also mastered several spells to the basics and broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage in her physical cultivation. After leaving the cultivation room, she sent a message to Brother Zhang, ordered a pot of tea at Xiu Lou, and waited for him to come and pick her up. Several hours later, Brother Zhang arrived. Seeing that Jiang Yue had successfully established her foundation, he even gave her a flying magic artifact as a congratulatory gift, which made Jiang Yue feel embarrassed to accept it.
After returning to the market, the two went to a small private room in the book pavilion. After eating and drinking for a while, Jiang Yue said, "Brother Zhang, do you have any powerful spells for the Foundation Establishment stage, focusing on attack, defense, and speed? Also, special spells like the 'Concentration Technique'. I need a complete set of inherited spells, not the kind that only exist for the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages, except for special ones, of course."
"Brother Qian, don't worry, I can help you coordinate if I don't have any. But these kinds of spells are very expensive. Do you have any money left after buying the Foundation Establishment Pill? Oh, I forgot to ask you, have you used up your Foundation Establishment Pill? If you have any left, I can help you with that too."
"No, I used one and have one left, but I have a plan for this one, so I'm afraid you don't need to bother me, brother. As for the money to buy spells, I still have some left, which should be enough to buy a few spells, right?" Jiang Yue planned to sell this pill to the protagonist and exchange it for some thousand-year-old spiritual herbs to store up.
"Haha, since you have a use for it, brother, then keep it. I'm also going to sell it for money. May I ask what kind of spiritual root you have, brother? That way I can make arrangements for you."
"No offense intended. My spiritual roots are metal, fire, and wood, but I can use spells of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Brother, you know that the power of other spells in my Five Elements Technique is only slightly reduced, which does not affect the overall situation."
"By the way, do you have any second-tier talismans, alchemy, weapon crafting, or puppeteer's inheritance here, brother? If so, I'd like to buy a copy as well."
“Brother Qian, you’re truly a hidden talent! I have a second-tier inheritance here, it’s 17,000 spirit stones, but you can just give me 60,000.”
After paying the money, Jiang Yue received four inheritances. As for the Foundation Establishment stage spells she wanted, she would have to wait a while. After finishing her business, she chatted for a while before leaving. As she walked out, she suddenly saw the Wanbao Pavilion next door. Since she hadn't changed her robes and weapons after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, she went in and bought a top-tier second-order robe. Although it didn't look very elegant, it had strong defensive capabilities. She also bought a flying sword for traveling and some consumables such as pills for cultivation.
Back at the rented house, some more words were added to the signboard outside: buying monster corpses, spiritual herbs, and various ores. These were for later skill practice. After cleaning the room with a cleaning spell, someone came to buy talismans. Seeing Jiang Yue's newly added purchase request, they asked about the price. Jiang Yue's prices were all market prices; whether they could buy them or not depended on fate.
