The Five Elements Kung Fu of the Jindan Period.

Shen Lian caught the key point in Shopkeeper Wu Xiang's words.

He himself possesses two Five Elements techniques for the Jindan stage.

Since when did the Five Elements Kung Fu at the Golden Elixir level become so worthless?

Before the old demon took over another's body, he was the ancestor of the Golden Elixir. It is reasonable that he could collect the Golden Elixir Five Elements method.

A casual cultivator at the foundation-building stage could actually obtain the golden elixir stage's skills.

What’s even more interesting is that this foundation-building cultivator with the five elements spiritual roots is a fool, as he can even expose the grade of the technique he is practicing.

Shen Lian didn't think too much about it. He just wanted to listen to the story Wu Xiang told for the time being.

Among the many spiritual objects, he was somewhat interested in the Five Elements Mountain recorded in the jade slip. As for other magical instruments and five elements spiritual objects, they could also be bought in Tianxia Tower.

After staying in Baina Pavilion for a quarter of an hour, Shen Lian exchanged the talisman in his hand for spirit stones and accepted the admission letter given by Baina Pavilion.

However, he did not plan to use this admission letter.

Auctions in Xiancheng are held every once in a while, and it is not difficult to obtain an admission letter.

After leaving Baina Pavilion, Shen Lian walked straight out of the Jiuchong Immortal City and found a secluded place to change his appearance and aura.

When entering the city, he specially bought an identity jade talisman and stayed in an inn in the fourth-floor fairy city.

He planned to see if he could purchase the Five Elements Mountain at the auction.

According to the records of the practice method of the Five Qis Converging to the Origin Gong, after the five qi are initially concentrated to the Origin, they have a blessing effect on the spiritual power of the cultivator.

Maybe in the short term it cannot compare to the true essence of a foundation-building cultivator, but it will further improve the quality of the spiritual energy of a Qi-cultivating cultivator, making it infinitely close to or even exceeding the true essence.

This is equivalent to that once Shen Lian condenses the five energies in his chest, he will be able to control the foundation-building magic weapon during the Qi training period.

Combined with the divine thought attack on the Soul-Binding Seal, the safety when encountering a Foundation Establishment cultivator can be greatly improved, and it is not impossible to pretend to be a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

…

Three days later, the auction of the Fifth Floor Immortal City was held as scheduled.

Shen Lian climbed from the fourth floor to the fifth floor and came to a spacious fairy pavilion.

"Fellow Daoist, please show us your admission letter."

A beautiful female monk had been waiting outside with a sweet smile, and led the monk who had taken out the invitation letter to the inner venue.

"Please rest assured, fellow Daoist. Our auction house will keep your identity completely confidential."

Shen Lian nodded. The venue for the grand auction was different. All the cultivators participating in the auction had their own private rooms.

Under the guidance of the female Taoist friend, Shen Lian entered a box as small as a birdcage.

Looking around, there are small private rooms surrounding the stone platform in the middle which is more than ten meters in size.

The private rooms are not all small, they are divided into three floors: upper, middle and lower.

The private room on the top floor is the largest and is where the foundation-building monks reside.

The private room in the middle is the second best, and the one Shen Lian chose is the one on this floor.

He looked around through the small window of the private room and found that the auction table was right in the center of his vision. Except for the box opposite, the other boxes were more or less blocked.

However, he did not notice that there were cultivators spying on him with their divine senses.

It seems that everyone has been severely beaten in the world of immortal cultivation.

“Boom!”

An hour later, a loud voice calmed the noisy sounds in the field.

An old man in a blue robe appeared on the auction table and looked around the box with a smile.

"Everyone, this month's auction has officially begun."

The auction in Jiuchong Immortal City had already formed a routine, and the old man who presided over the auction was a foundation-building cultivator. With the support of Taoist Master Qiushan, the cultivators who came were all very honest.

"The first spiritual object, a first-grade superior Xuanling Shield."

"Two hundred low-grade spirit stones."

…

In the box at the bottom, monks began to speak one after another.

The quality of spiritual objects that appear at the auction will not be too bad, and it is not a loss if you can buy them at a suitable price.

Shen Lian’s goal is very clear, which is the Five Elements Mountain.

After more than twenty spiritual objects appeared one after another, colorful light appeared in the hands of the blue-robed old man on the auction table. A small hill grew out of the colorful light and turned into a foot in size.

"Oh……"

The originally serious old man in blue robe couldn't help but smile.

"Ha ha……"

"This is the famous Five Elements Mountain."

"Master Liuhuo's masterpiece."

There was a murmur in the box.

No one dared to speak out loudly, as the creator of this magical weapon, which was quite famous in the Immortal City, might be in the large box above.

The blue-robed monk suppressed the smile on his face. As an auctioneer, it was not appropriate for him to laugh like this in such an occasion, unless he really couldn't help it.

"This... I won't introduce this one. The starting price is two thousand low-grade spirit stones."

Inside the box, Shen Lian did not speak in a hurry.

"Fellow Daoist Wenshan, I think you should just take out the next item. There are many cultivators practicing the Five Elements in Xiancheng, but who can control this magic weapon now?"

"If there is someone in the Sea of ​​Ten Thousand Stars who needs it, our Chu State hasn't produced a medium-grade, relatively balanced five-element spiritual root for many years."

"Fellow Daoist Wenshan, I think you should stop wasting your energy. Everyone has experienced failure in the auction."

"That's right, Fellow Daoist Wenshan, you have only failed to win the auction for the same magic weapon thirteen times, but you are already number one in the Nine-Layered Immortal City."

"The only one who can break Daoist Wenshan's record is Daoist Wenshan."

In the large private room above, the foundation-building monks spoke one after another, all with a teasing tone.

The five elements magic tools need to be driven by the five elements spiritual power to exert their maximum power, but most of the five elements spiritual root cultivators have low spiritual root scale values.

This results in people not being able to afford what they want, and those who can afford it not wanting it.

On the auction stage, the man in blue robe twitched his mouth and was not in a good mood at all.

Every auction will be ridiculed by a group of old guys.

He held the Five Elements Mountain and looked around the box again.

"This magic weapon is both offensive and defensive, and it is a rare fine product. Daoists who practice the Five Elements can bid for it, and you will definitely not suffer a loss."

"Two thousand low-grade spirit stones."

As the voice sounded, Wenshan on the auction table instantly locked onto the box where Shen Lian was.

"who--"

"make a deal!"

Wenshan's eyes lit up and he twitched his beard.

"Come here, immediately deliver the Five Elements Mountain to this Taoist friend's box and count his spiritual stones in front of him."

Immediately, a female cultivator flew up and landed on the auction table, took the Five Elements Mountain, and headed towards the box where Shen Lian was.

In the auction hall, most monks just reacted.

The Five Elements Mountain, a magical instrument that has been auctioned off for more than a dozen times, is this the end?

In each box, there were cultivators who showed curiosity. There were not many cultivators with all five elements who could cultivate to the foundation-building stage.

Unexpectedly, another one popped up.

"Fellow Daoist, this is the magic weapon Five Elements Mountain that you photographed."

In the box, Shen Lian felt a little amused when he saw the female Taoist friend who was blocking the door and didn't come in, so he just handed the Five Elements Mountain in with both hands.

After delivering the spirit stones, Shen Lian took the Five Elements Mountain in his hands.

At the same time, he also noticed the prying eyes.

Fortunately, everyone was conscious and did not force their spiritual thoughts to peek through the box.

Soon, everyone's attention was focused on the next item.

The small magic weapon feels cold and heavy to the touch.

Since the auction was still going on, Shen Lian did not calm down to study it and put the Five Elements Mountain into his storage bag.

He waited until the auction was over, but did not bid for any other items. He left the auction venue and returned to his residence on the fourth floor.

Inside the inn.

Shen Lian checked his clothes first, then added a body cleansing talisman to himself to cleanse his external aura.

There are some secret methods in the world of immortal cultivation that can use some tiny particles to absorb onto the cultivator's body making it undetectable.

After cleaning himself, Shen Lian sat down cross-legged. With the divine consciousness talisman pasted on his body, his own divine consciousness was always wandering around him.

Looking at the three formations guarding him, Shen Lian felt that the first-grade superior formation was a bit too low for him.

After his spiritual power was comparable to that of a foundation-building stage, he already had the ability to control a second-order formation. It was time to upgrade the formation he carried with him.

"Arrays, magic tools, talisman array plates..."

"Why aren't spiritual stones falling from the sky..."

Nightfall.

Shen Lian practiced quietly while vigilantly sensing his surroundings.

[Calm down, insight points +3]

[Keep calm, insight points +1]

[Calm down, insight points +2]

…

Have a good night.

The divine talisman attached to his body did not notice any peeping movements.

Shen Lian used his divine sense and did not feel that anyone was watching him.

Under double alert, he finally relaxed a little. It seems that the public security in Jiuchong Xiancheng is still quite good.

In the morning, while there were many monks coming in and out of the inn, Shen Lian changed his clothes, put on a wide cloak and walked out of the inn.

Everything requires spirit stones.

It is not realistic to expect spiritual stones to fall from the sky. You still need to work hard on your own.

…

One month later.

Meditation Center.

Shen Lian, who had moved in with a new look, had a clean bottle of spiritual ink in front of him and threw the bristled talisman pen in his hand aside.

"I work hard for a month but can't even make 10,000 yuan in profit. It's really hard-earned money."

After putting away the talismans he had prepared, Shen Lian also collected the sundries in the room.

This batch of talismans will be enough for him to buy the spiritual objects he needs.

Having stayed in the Nine-Layered Immortal City for more than three months, he planned to purchase spiritual objects and then take a spiritual ship north to practice in another place.
