In the direction of Ao Shou in the east of Ao Shi Fairy City, there are many mountains, and each of them is shrouded in shining light.
Shen Lian was sitting cross-legged in a cave at the foot of a small hill at the edge of the mountain.
This is Aoling Blessed Land, the best cave in Ao Shi Immortal City. It is more expensive than Black Whale Blessed Land. The rent is two thousand low-grade spirit stones a month, and the consumption of the formation in the cave must be paid by oneself.
Why is it so expensive? The main reason is that the caves here are all independent, and there is no other people within a ten-mile radius.
There is also a forbidden air formation here, and even fake elixir cultivators cannot fly.
The main focus is to protect the privacy of monks.
In addition, there is a small teleportation formation in this area, right in the middle of Aoling Blessed Land, which can randomly teleport cultivators to three thousand miles outside Ao Shi Xian City.
Even the person who controls the formation doesn't know where you will fall.
The whole family ran away and their privacy was protected. All the monks who had been here said it was good.
Just say, whether one is an immortal or not depends on his or her nature.
It takes 30,000 spirit stones to open the teleportation array once.
Of course, if you think it’s too expensive, you can go there yourself. There is no bargaining price.
Shen Lian was very satisfied with his new residence. This place was a natural fit for him.
Inside the cave, there is a special alchemy fire room. A stream of underground fire is drawn directly from the depths of the earth, and on it stands a second-grade, mid-grade dragon scale alchemy furnace.
The underground fire mouth under the alchemy furnace is covered by special restrictions. If you want to attract the underground fire, you need to buy the underground fire jade talisman in advance.
The jade talisman can be used to unlock the seal of the underground fire.
The first time you use the underground fire, you can enjoy half-price service, monthly subscriptions can get discounts, and you can also pay extra to purchase services such as increasing the temperature of the underground fire, changing the color of the underground fire, and changing the appearance of the fire spirit. It is quite user-friendly.
In addition, the underground fire room also has corresponding spiritual medicine maps. If the alchemist finds that a spiritual medicine is missing during the process of refining the elixir, he only needs to send a message and Ao Shi Fudi will deliver the spiritual medicine as quickly as possible.
As for the decoration in the cave and the private services, they are fully equipped and available around the clock.
Shen Lian lost interest after checking the underground fire room. The cost of using the underground fire to refine the elixir was enough for him to buy a batch of elixir materials.
The Xuanling Jade Marrow he bought before has been drawn into a jade talisman, and the next step is to nurture it.
Instead of refining the elixir in the underground fire room, Shen Lian returned to outside the training room, arranged his two second-level formations inside and out, and then took out the red fish elixir furnace.
In fact, there were already breath-concealing and isolation formations outside this cave, which were activated by him when he moved in.
Shen Lian would save where he should save, and he would not be stingy where he should spend.
He took out the spirit stone and embedded it on the red fish alchemy furnace, then cleaned the furnace according to the furnace cleaning method.
First, make two batches of happy pills and heat up the furnace.
“Buzz…”
The red-gold spiritual power turned into flames that enveloped the alchemy furnace, and the red fish on the furnace was also reflected in it.
As the furnace cover flew up, herbs flew into the furnace one by one.
He had already mastered the technique of refining the welfare pills for his fellow Taoists, and could make them with his eyes closed.
Besides making elixirs, he would draw talismans to nourish the Tianyan Jade Talisman.
As for the positioning blood bean worms attached to his body, Shen Lian simply ignored them. If he wanted to use the resources on him, it would depend on whether he had time.
Anyway, he is not in a hurry at all.
Why bother with him? Wouldn't it be better to spend this time cultivating more and preparing more cards? ...
In the blink of an eye.
A month passed.
Qi Chengzan, who was staying in the Hailan Inn, came out. Today was the day of a large auction in the city, and he planned to try his luck to see if he could buy suitable magic tools and talismans.
The old demon's order was like a sword, which had kept him awake for more than a month.
Walking on the wide street, looking at the colorful rainbow flashing in the mist, Qi Chengzan shuddered in his heart.
The third-order large formation relies on the earth veins, and even ordinary golden elixirs cannot penetrate it. Heiya, you really know how to cause trouble.
Thinking of Heiya, he felt shocked and scared. Although he was called master, the relationship between them was actually completely different from that of a normal master and disciple.
This was also the reason why he wanted to call out to the Black Cliff Demon but was a little afraid to do so.
Have you ever seen a normal sect? There is no sect headquarters, and even the master has to hide from place to place.
In a normal sect, the order of fellow disciples is clear and they are very familiar with each other, but in the Black Cliff Sect, the eldest brother, second brother, eighth brother and ninth brother are more like a title.
There is only one master, but there are several senior brothers, and they don’t even know each other’s existence.
Well, they are divided into areas. In this area, there is a senior brother, and in that area, the highest brother may be the second senior brother.
They are not fellow disciples at all, but more like gang leaders from the secular world.
"Hei... Master, have you also come to Aoshi Immortal City?"
Qi Chengzan thought about it and felt that it was unlikely. The Black Cliff Demon's current attention should be on the Sea King Sect.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to obtain the Blood Soul Orb.
Rumor has it that the demise of the Sea King Sect was related to the Sea Clan. When the Sea Clan was at its most powerful, more than 70% of the entire South China Sea was the Sea Clan's territory.
At that time, the sea clan exploited the human race. Whether they were mortals or cultivators, the sea clan treated them all equally and made them their own food.
The Blood Soul Orb should be used to restrict a part of the secret realm involving the sea clan.
Now, the Sea King Sect has attracted the attention of all the Jindan forces in Wanxinghai. The old demon took this opportunity to stir up trouble in Ao Shi Immortal City, which can be regarded as seizing the opportunity.
But it's really hard for him.
If he is not careful, Ao Shi Fairy City will become his burial place.
The auction was held in Xuanhai Hall. Qi Chengzan arrived very early. He first handed over his landscape glass wood and hydrangea to the auction organizer, and left his own requirements.
If you don't have either a second-grade, high-quality offensive talisman or elixir, then the one with the highest bid will win.
Landscape colored glaze wood, this wood is one of the indispensable main materials for building large spirit ships and can be used as a keel.
His is a little small, but it can still be sold for tens of thousands of spirit stones.
Hydrangea is one of the main ingredients in the foundation-building pill.
If the old demon hadn't forced him to self-destruct, he would not have been willing to take out these two spiritual objects.
…
Shen Lian naturally would not miss the auction in Ao Shi Xian City. He changed his veil and came to the auction hall.
The formation in the huge stone hall was looming, and various colors of light appeared from time to time, telling all the cultivators clearly that if they wanted to do a business with no capital, they should wait until they leave the city.
Inside the hall, there were stone houses and high-hanging boxes, and the outside was shrouded in prohibitions.
When his eyes swept across the box above, there was envy and awe in them.
As a foundation-building cultivator, Shen Lian naturally sat in the box and looked down at the scene in the auction hall.
There were no less than five or six hundred cultivators gathered in the stone house in the hall, most of whom were above the seventh level of Qi training.
There are already more than twenty foundation-building monks in the box.
"Um."
Shen Lian sensed that the blood bean worm attached to his body moved.
At the same time, in another box, Qi Chengzan suddenly opened his eyes from his breathing exercises.
The fat sheep finally moved.
After more than eight months of contact, he is at the second level of foundation building, an alchemist, single, and has no helpers. It is not easy to find such a fat sheep who knows his background well.
This is much safer than randomly choosing a lucky fellow Taoist outside the city.
…
"You are really persistent."
Shen Lian sat in the box with a calm expression.
Although he changed his appearance when he came, the blood bean worms were crawling on his body, and no matter how he changed, he could not escape Qi Chengzan's tracking.
After waiting for more than a month, I guess Brother Qi is getting impatient.
Half an hour later, the number of monks in the auction hall reached nearly a thousand. When a crisp chime sounded, the wide stone door of the hall slowly closed under the guidance of spiritual light.
At the same time, bright beams of light were cast from above the center of the hall, which at first made it difficult to see the items on the auction table below, but then the light became softer.
In the vast white blend of spiritual light, a very heroic female foundation-building cultivator appeared.
The woman glanced around and said coldly, "I am today's auctioneer Lu Ying. I have dealt with many fellow Taoists before, so I won't waste any more time and will get straight to the point."
Then, another ray of spiritual light fell down, and when it landed near Lu Ying, it revealed a jade box.
"The first lot is a medium-quality Huangji Bu'e Dan."
As the jade box slowly opened, a pill surrounded by a hazy spiritual light appeared before everyone's eyes.
"The starting price is 4,000 low-grade spirit stones, and each bid increase must not be less than 100 spirit stones."
"Four thousand two hundred dollars."
"Four thousand five hundred."
"Five thousand."
"Five thousand five hundred!"
In just a few breaths, several foundation-building cultivators in the foundation-building box above began to fight.
Shen Lian noticed that Qi Chengzan was among them.
Huangji Bu'er Dan is a second-grade superior quality elixir, and it has only one function, which is to instantly repair most injuries when taken when seriously injured.
Not to mention that this is a medium-quality pill, so the efficacy will be better.
Of course, this medicine also has side effects, which is that after the effect of the medicine wears off, the injury will be doubled.
"Six thousand!"
In the box, Qi Chengzan continued to raise the price.
"Six thousand three."
"Six thousand five."
"Seven thousand!"
In the end, only Qi Chengzan and another foundation-building cultivator were left fighting on the field.
The price also increased to eight thousand five hundred low-grade spirit stones.
Shen Lian was stunned. It seemed that the cultivators didn't need him to lower the price of the pills at all.
The price of lower-quality Huangji Bu'e Pill is between four thousand and five thousand. If the quality of the pill is improved, the price will increase by 30% to 50%.
The price of this Imperial Pill for Reinforcing one's Evil is at most around 7,500 spirit stones.
"Why is this guy desperately trying to buy the Eid-Replenishing Pills? Could it be that he has predicted that he will have a disaster?"
Shen Lian's eyes drifted towards Qi Chengzan's box, but he had not yet made up his mind whether to kill him or not.
"Nine thousand low-grade spirit stones."
When Qi Chengzan heard the price revealed in the box next to him, his face turned extremely ugly.
Just as he was about to continue raising the price, his expression suddenly changed, and his eyes were fixed on the person who was bidding to grab the box.
He gritted his teeth and finally didn't make another bid.
"Damn old demon, he has made a lot of arrangements."
…
The methods he practiced were the bean-refining technique and the demon-hiding technique passed down by the old demon. The bean-refining technique was good at tracking and positioning, while the demon-hiding technique focused on hiding one's aura.
So over the years, he has obeyed the old devil's orders and done some surveillance and transportation work.
Over the years, a total of seven fellow disciples were monitored and tracked, and six of them died.
…
After the first spiritual object, there were some first-grade high-quality spiritual objects one after another. After all, there were the most cultivators in the Qi training stage in the field.
Shen Lian squinted his eyes and watched quietly. He was very curious about the reason that made Qi Chengzan give up at the last moment.
Not enough spirit stones?
It is possible, otherwise they wouldn't target him.
…
Time passed little by little, and a jade box appeared in Lu Ying's hand on the auction table.
After slowly opening it, a jade slip appeared, one that was emitting a thick earthy light.
"The Dayan Dunshu Fragment Scroll, starting price is 50,000 low-grade spirit stones, and each bid increment must be no less than 1,000 spirit stones."
