Chapter 177.

tan san nodded and did not delve into the matter with it.

With that, he also entered the rear auction.

Perhaps it was because the Siege of the Divine Wind Valley had just passed, and many cultivators had not dispersed yet, so there were really quite a lot of cultivators in the auction hall.

Even the Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, there were three or four of them.

At this time, tan san also took advantage of the fact that the auction hadn’t started yet, and began to check the news that he had obtained by spending four thousand inferior spirit stones.

The main and first one, the news about the Earth’s Core Fire.

With a slight movement of his Spiritual Sense, he made use of the Spiritual Sense Silk Transformation Means.

In the blink of an eye, the prohibition was broken by him.

Tianming Island, volcanic crater ……

tan san’s gaze flickered, and in his heart, he was not surprised.

The Fire of the Earth’s Core, often only appeared in volcanoes.

Tianming Island, the most famous, is the sixteen volcanoes.

And within this jade slip, it was labeled in which crater that cultivator had seen the Earth’s Core Fire ……

“A dead volcano crater?

There can be an Earth Core Fire here?”

tan san frowned slightly, his heart somewhat puzzled.

However, after thinking about it, the so-called dead volcanic crater was merely a long period of time without erupting flame magma, but it did not mean that it had really ‘died’.

Deep in its entrance, the crust of the flame magma, the same has been in motion.

Perhaps the next moment, the next breath, will suddenly erupt.

Putting away the jade slip, tan san smoothly opened the jade slip that recorded the Xuan Huang Spiritual Soil.

With a smile on his face, it was true.

What was recorded in it was exactly the image of his appearance last month, as well as many speculations.

For example, suspected alchemist, some people have seen him selling the art of alchemy, ban-breaking means extraordinary, may also be a ban-breaking master, practicing qi seven layer, not afraid of the threat of foundation building, suspected of having any backing and dependence …….

It is always some news and clues about him, but it is indeed very detailed.

Soon, the black market auction officially began.

This time out of the auction, or that one beautiful woman Feng Xue.

After the familiar opening introduction, she continued, “The next first lot, is a Taoist friend just provided up the exotic treasure, the five-colored stone.

It is rumored that this stone, with the effect of mending the sky, there are ancient great powers, with the help of this colorful stone, mending the gap in the sky, very wonderful.

Of course, the ancient great powers, means extraordinary, incomparable magic, more unfathomable.

With our ability, naturally, we can not use this colorful stone to mend the sky.

But this colorful stone, the same is also the world, one of the few things that do not fear the five elements, water and fire do not invade, indestructible.

The starting price is ten thousand lower-grade spirit stones, and each increase shall not be less than one thousand lower-grade spirit stones.”

“Isn’t this a replica of the Forbidden Spirit Stone?

It doesn’t fear the five elements?

It’s probably not as useful as the Spirit Banning Stone.

It’s the forbidden spirit stone that really counts as invulnerable to the ten thousand laws.”

Seeing this, a cultivator muttered with some disbelief.

“People’s ancient mighty mending heaven’s thing, is the five-colored divine stone, this do not know which now eye bag, up a five-colored stone to offer a treasure?”

Another person also followed the chorus, seems to be extremely look down.

tan san happened to be sitting next to the two, so their voices, although low, but were heard by him.

However, the others were not affected by the two men’s discussion, and soon someone opened his mouth to shout the price.

Eleven thousand lower grade spirit stones!

Then twelve thousand.

tan san looked at the human head-sized stone on the high platform, thought for a moment, and also opened his mouth to raise the price.

“Thirteen thousand lower grade spirit stones.”

Deciding that he would give up on the purchase if someone continued to shout, he didn’t think that no one would open their mouths again after that.

This five-colored stone then fell into his hands.

tan san was a little confused.

He did not feel that he had suffered a loss.

He had also considered the use of this item, which was why he decided to auction it off.

Perhaps the actual value was indeed not high, but as long as he felt it was worth it, it was enough.

“Big brother earthy ah.”

“This thing, does it have another mystery? We are shallow in our knowledge, so please give us some guidance, big brother?”

Seeing that tan san had auctioned off this multicolored stone, the eyes of the two cultivators who had just spat on it shone brightly, and they both hurriedly dropped their gaze on tan san’s body.

“Things that do not fear the five elements are rare after all, I am also buying a rarity.”

tan san shook his head and said.

“What is big brother’s name?

Under Ma Ji, this is my second brother Madi, this is the first time I participate in the black market, and I very much want to make friends with a luxurious person like big brother.”

Upon hearing this, one of them hurriedly opened his mouth and said with a warm face.

“The real luxury here, can’t be my turn, see those four didn’t, strong strength, wealth thick, is the real luxury.

You guys can go and introduce yourselves, maybe you can have some chance.”

tan san’s eyes were cold, is this treating himself as a kaiju? However, his face did not move, nodding at the four Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators leaning forward, he said derisively.

“Big brother is joking, those Foundation Establishment seniors, can’t look at us.”

That Ma Ji continuously waved his hand and said.

“Makes sense.”

tan san, however, nodded his head before not saying another word.

The two men froze.

Only after a long time did the Ma Di of the two have the hindsight to voice out, “Big brother, does he not look at us either?”

“You just realized that, huh?”

Ma Ji rolled his eyes and grunted, “Just stop talking and change the target.

This guy seems quite shrewd.”

After that, no more words were spoken.

tan san was also happy to have some leisure time and watched as one treasure after another was put up for auction.

The treasures that were up for auction this time were mainly Spirit Plants, most of which were from the Divine Wind Valley.

For example, the Purple Bodhi and Sacred Flame Fruit that tan san had once obtained were both up for auction.

Among them, the Purple Bodhi was auctioned off for fifteen thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones, while the Sacred Flame Fruit even fetched a high price of thirty-three thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones.

“In the Divine Wind Valley, I ate a total of five Purple Bodhi and one Sacred Flame Fruit.

Calculating like this, I almost ate almost one hundred and eighty thousand lower-grade spirit stones?

This is indeed somewhat ‘extravagant’.”

tan san secretly sighed as the auction soon set out a Foundation Establishment Spirit Seedling.

It was a twelve-colored flower.

The vintage was only seventy years old.

However, once it was set out, it still gained a lot of looting and was finally taken down for seventeen thousand lower grade spirit stones.

Then there was a top-grade defensive magic weapon.

It was said to be refined by a master refiner, although it was only a top-grade, the strength of the defense was no weaker than an ordinary extreme-grade magic weapon.

It was also auctioned off for thirteen thousand lower grade spirit stones.

Next, is a top-grade magic weapon, Ruyi gourd.

Can be the size as desired, can be loaded into far more than the body size of the spiritual water, wine, but also able to store smoke, poisonous gas, turned into a poisonous gas gourd, methane gas gourd, and even can be transformed into a gourd sword hut, dedicated to the storage of flying swords.

Is a role of many, more have many changes of the magic weapon.

tan san also participated in the auction and finally took it for seven thousand lower grade spirit stones.

In this way, one treasure was put up for auction, and one treasure was also auctioned off.

Time passed.

Soon the black market auction came to an end.

The final finale item was brought out.

tan san was also stunned.

The Thousand Year Enlightenment Tea Leaf.

“The last item to be auctioned is the Enlightenment Tea produced by the Thousand Year Enlightenment Tea Tree.

Here, it is necessary to mention that Thousand Year Enlightenment Tea Tree, which is a solid fourth grade spiritual plant, and the tea it produces, is even more ripe once every hundred years.

Every hundred years, can produce at most ten pounds of tea, precious to the extreme.

What’s more, around this thousand-year enlightenment tea tree, there is a mid-foundation stage demonic beast, the earth demon bear guarding, the difficulty of obtaining is even higher.

This time, we have a total of three copies of enlightenment tea, a total of six taels, each copy of two taels.

Starting price, ten thousand lower grade spirit stones, highest bidder wins.”

As soon as the words fell, there was a steady stream of bidders.

Enlightenment Tea.

Fourth grade spirit tea.

Not only can it refresh and nourish the mind, but it also has the effect of ‘enlightenment’, which can drastically improve enlightenment in a short period of time, and comprehend the mysteries that were originally difficult to comprehend.

The attraction was great.

The first portion was quickly raised to twenty-five thousand lower grade spirit stones.

“Just two taels, and it’s worth so much?”

tan san vaguely felt that he had missed out on something by not going to participate in the looting in the first place.

However, when he thought of the so many Foundation Establishment Spirit Stones in his spiritual field, he felt that he had made the right choice as well.

After all, that 1,000 year old Enlightenment Tea Tree was not only guarded by a mid Foundation Establishment demonic beast, but there were also at least five early Foundation Establishment cultivators vying for it.

He couldn’t have much of an advantage in it, and he wouldn’t necessarily be able to get much of the Enlightenment Tea Tea Leaves.

Anyway, if he wanted it, wouldn’t this be a direct auction?

“Thirty thousand lower grade spirit stones!”

Thus, tan san did not hesitate and directly raised the price to thirty thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones and participated in the auction.

Raising the price by five thousand at once.

The key to this Enlightenment Tea was only two taels and there were a total of three copies, and the others had since been expecting the two copies in the back.

Therefore, it was smooth for tan san to auction off this Enlightenment Tea Tea with thirty thousand lower grade spirit stones.

As expected.

For the remaining two copies, the price was even higher.

The price of the second copy was raised to thirty-five thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones before it was auctioned off, while the fourth copy was raised to forty-one thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones.

“I didn’t expect to save a fortune in an invisible way.”

tan san’s heart was also delighted.

In this way, in this auction, he had spent a total of fifty-one thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones and auctioned off three treasures.

One of them, was the five-colored stone, one was that Ruyi gourd, and one was these two taels of Enlightenment Tea tea leaves.

“Previously, when I purchased various alchemy materials, I had 40,000 to 50,000 lower grade spirit stones left on me.

This time, when I set up a stall to sell various treasures, I earned a total of 150,000 Lower Grade Spirit Stones, which adds up to 200,000 dollars.

Now participating in the auction cost fifty-one thousand, purchasing the final payment of seven thousand for the Foundation Condensation Dan Dan formula, ordering a deposit of ten thousand for the Foundation Building Dan, and then four thousand for the two mission messages …… adding up to a total cost of seventy-two thousand lower grade spirit stones.

With this, I only have one hundred and twenty-eight thousand lower grade spirit stones left in my hand.”

tan san silently calculated and also smoothly got his few treasures from the auction.

“Big brother …… didn’t expect you to be truly magnificent.

Our brothers had eyes that didn’t recognize Mt. Tai before, so I hope that big brother will bear with us.”

And at this moment, the two cultivators who had been sitting beside him before, seeing tan san’s successive strikes, directly spending tens of thousands of lower-grade spirit stones, were also a little afraid, and hurriedly bowed and opened their mouths to apologize.

“No harm done.”

tan san waved his hand and directly walked away.

The two of them looked at each other, thought about it, and still followed.

Then, they watched as the other party walked out of the auction and arrived at the task hall, and then they watched as the other party first greeted the steward of that task hall, and directly spoke with a Foundation Establishment Senior standing beside that steward.

“Foundation Establishment Senior!

This person, could it be that he is also a Foundation Establishment Senior hiding his cultivation?”

“Highly likely.”

“Retreat retreat retreat ……”

The two of them turned around almost simultaneously and directly headed in other directions, quickly running out of the middle of the black market.

Only after confirming that they weren’t being tracked did they reveal palpitating colors.

tan san naturally did not know the many mental activities of those two.

After walking out of the auction, he went straight to the mission hall, and while he saw Steward Du, he also caught a glimpse of a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator beside Steward Du.

It was actually the same ‘Senior Shu’ that that Spider Silk Fairy had taken the initiative to greet a few months ago, and he had also seen the other party just now at the auction, sitting in one of the seats at the front.

Among them, that second portion of Enlightenment Tea was precisely what he had auctioned off.

“Fellow Daoist Changwang, this is the senior who left a message earlier, Senior Shu Justice Shu.”

Seeing tan san, Steward Du Ping Du also hurriedly opened his mouth and introduced himself.

“Greetings to Senior Shu.

I don’t know what is Senior Shu’s intention in inviting me here for a face-to-face meeting?”

tan san also arched his hand and spoke.

“You’re the one who set up the bounty, wanting the Five Elements Spirit Item?”

When Shu Justice saw tan san, his brows were furrowed and he couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.

He had thought that the person who set up the reward should be a fellow Foundation Establishment Realm practitioner, but he did not expect that it was only a Qi Practicing Stage cultivator.

Key, only the seventh level of Qi Practicing. His strength was far below his expectations.

Seeing tan san nodding, he immediately waved his hand impatiently and said, “Then go away, you can’t get this thing.

It’s useless to tell you.”

“Why did senior say that?

It was senior who informed me that I needed to discuss it face to face, and now that I’m here and yet you don’t tell me the news, that’s a bit unreasonable.”

tan san’s face couldn’t help but look a little ugly as well.

“Senior Shu.

You took the bounty before, so logically, the news needs to be provided to Daoist Changsheng.

Even if he can’t get it afterward, that’s still his business, but Fellow Daoist Eternal Life delivered the spirit stone in advance, and senior also got the corresponding benefit first ……”

Du Ping on the side couldn’t help but speak up as well.

“You really want to know?”

Shu Justice sniffed and glanced at tan san, seeing that his expression was unchanged and he was not intimidated by the fact that he was a Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator, then he nodded and dropped his gaze on Du Ping, saying, “Prepare a secret room, and I will have a discussion with this fellow Daoist.”

“Good!”

Du Ping nodded his head in a hurry.

He self hoped that the deal between the two could be reached.

In this way he could also smoothly get the benefits he deserved.

In the mission hall, there were naturally compartments arranged for various cultivators to confer.

So the two soon appeared in a secret room.

Being cautious, Shu Justice even directly used a soundproofing technique before saying, “The Golden Origin’s Prana, I do know where it is.”

“I would also like to ask Senior Shu to tell me the exact whereabouts of that Golden Origin’s Prana.”

tan san’s spirit was revitalized and he hurriedly arched his hand and said.

“Actually, there is no harm in telling you.

It’s just that that place is too dangerous for Fellow Daoist.

That’s why I advised fellow Daoist to leave.

Because even if you know about it, it’s useless.

It can’t be taken.

And the reason why I responded before was just because I thought that the one who set up the reward was which fellow Foundation Establishment, thinking that if there were two of us going together, the grasp would be greater, but unfortunately ……”

Saying that, Shu Justice couldn’t help but sigh and shake his head.

“Could it be, which one has a Foundation Establishment demonic beast guarding the place?”

tan san asked curiously.

“That’s right.

As a matter of fact, I discovered this place as early as a few months ago, and I had also set up a quest reward, wanting to invite fellow Daoists to explore it together.

It’s just that I haven’t had any suitable candidates, I can’t trust the general fellow travelers, and the ones I can trust are relatively low in strength.

Last month, I saw your reward, but it was also on a whim.

Therefore, I advise you not to know about it.

Moreover, I have already decided to invite some fellow Daoists to act together in the near future.

At that time, even if I obtain that Golden Origin Spirit, I will definitely not take it out and give it to you, so whether you know about it or not is actually meaningless.”

Shu Justice nodded and then spoke.

Actually, this was also the place he had been agonizing over.

The so-called trustworthy and untrustworthy were all just excuses.

He himself was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, so naturally, he didn’t dare to invite strong people above the middle stage of Foundation Establishment to go with him.

Among the cultivators of the same realm, he also had to consider the character and reputation of the other party, after all, treasures move people’s hearts, and he couldn’t guarantee that both parties would be willing to surrender their treasures to him after obtaining them.

If there were to be further strife, it would be more of a loss than a gain.

This was also why he had delayed for a long time until recently before he was ready to act.

“Then what if I am willing to pay a high price for it?”

tan san even said.

“Not for sale.

The Spirit of Golden Origin is a top-grade third-grade spiritual material, it can even be melted into a magic treasure, even JieDan realm cultivators are very thirsty for it.

Even if you can take out 50,000, 100,000 lower grade spirit stones, so what? How can it compare to a single favor from a JieDan realm cultivator?”

Shu Justice bluntly refused, then after a slight pause, he spoke again, “Unless ……”

“Unless what?”

tan san looked at the other party and asked.

“Unless you also join this quest.

Then it’s our team members, so naturally the treasures obtained, you also have a share.

At that time, you only need to convince the other team members, and since you can also take out a certain amount of benefits to take that Golden Origin Spirit.

Anyway, my goal is another treasure, and I’m not very interested in the Spirit of Golden Origin.”

Shu Justice spoke immediately afterward.

“This-”

tan san was a little hesitant.

By joining the expedition, one would have to participate in battles and would encounter danger.

However, if he did not join, he would not be able to obtain the Golden Origin Spirit.

At least for a short period of time, it was extremely difficult to obtain it.

Now, he already had two types of five elemental spirits in his hands, the Ten Thousand Year Wood Heart and the Xuan Huang Spiritual Earth.

Among them, he also already had an eyebrow on the Earth’s Core Fire, and the One Yuan Heavy Water, and with this news of the last piece of the Golden Origin’s Spirit right in front of his eyes, of course he wanted it.

After a moment of silence, he then looked at Shu Justice and continued to ask, “Then I wonder, what is the demonic beast that we might encounter this time?

How is its strength?”

“One-horned Earth Dragon! Golden-backed Mountain Piercing Armor!”

Shu Justice didn’t hide anything and said directly.

“Two Foundation Establishment demonic beasts?”

tan san froze.

“You thought?

If it was just one head, I would have gotten rid of it long ago.

The reason why I wanted to invite another fellow Foundation Establishment practitioner was because I wanted someone to help clamp down on it together.

But nowadays, I don’t need to.

I also only need to prepare a few more things before I can act.”

Shu Justice said, flipped his hand and took out a talisman, saying, “This is your Heart and Blood Oath Talisman, if you agree to join, then you need to swear by this Heart and Blood Oath Talisman not to attack your teammates, and not to divulge the slightest bit of your participation in this expedition.

If not, the heart and blood oath talisman will backfire, then not only is there no hope for the Foundation Establishment Avenue, but you will also be bound to suffer heavy damage from the talisman, and you will not be able to recover within three to five years.”

“If you don’t want to participate.

Then fellow Daoist can leave.

It’s just that the news of this Golden Origin’s Prana, you, Taoist friend, will pretend that you didn’t hear it.

Otherwise, if the news about me leaks out, I think that you, Fellow Daoist, will not want to know what will happen to you ……”

Saying that, Shu Justice’s face was solemn, and his body’s aura immediately rose up with oppressive force.

tan san’s face changed slightly, his body’s aura flickered, instinctively resisting this pressure, then slightly sidestepped and said, “I naturally understand.”

“Hm? Ninth level of Qi Practicing?

Fellow Daoist this is a bit of a surprise to me.

With this kind of strength, then if you, Dao Friend, join in, our grasp will be even greater.”

Shu Justice’s gaze flickered and he couldn’t help but say in surprise.

And what was even more surprising to him was that the other party’s aura, surprisingly, was something he hadn’t been able to see.

If it wasn’t for the fact that this time, his aura forced his way and triggered the other party’s spiritual power to protect his body, he had actually really failed to see the other party’s actual cultivation.

“Alright, I’m in!”

tan san reached out to receive that one Heart and Blood Oath Talisman, and directly in front of the other party, inspired it and swore verbally.

“Good good good!

Twenty days later, we’ll start moving.

The location, it’ll be at the Divine Wind Valley’s Tianchi Mountain, we’ll rendezvous together at that time.”

Seeing this, a satisfied smile appeared on Shu Justice’s face.

And then without saying anything more, he directly opened the door to the secret room and walked out.

Seeing this, tan san’s gaze flickered slightly, but he didn’t get up and leave at the first time.

“Good thing.

If we can really get our hands on the Spirit of Golden Origin, then this danger is worth taking.”

tan san muttered in his heart.

Of course, the reason that really made him determined to participate in this operation was that just now, when this ‘Senior Shu’ had revealed his aura, he had already revealed a hint of his reality.

He, did not feel a deadly threat from the other party.

Although he was unable to judge the other party’s specific strength because he had not exchanged hands.

However, in terms of cultivation, this Senior Shu was, at best, only a little stronger than the Fire Dragon Daoist Teng Peng that he had previously beheaded, and a little weaker than the Lai Family’s Foundation Establishment Lai Yongsheng.

He had even killed several Foundation Establishment demonic beasts.

Naturally, he was not afraid of this ”Senior Shu”.

The only thing that made him fearful was just those two Foundation Establishment demonic beasts.

However, thinking that the other party dared to act, they must have a certain degree of certainty.

At least before getting rid of those two demonic beasts, this ”Senior Shu” would definitely not turn his face away.

And all he needed to do was to be careful and not overly expose his strength before getting rid of those two demonic beasts.

In that case, what did he have to fear?

“If it’s a trip that is safe and sound.

Then everything will be fine.

I only need to get that Golden Origin Spirit, and I won’t care about the other treasures.

If there are really twists and turns.

It’s not certain who is the praying mantis, who is the cicada worm, and who is the yellow sparrow!”

tan san took a deep breath before he regained his composure and slowly walked out of the secret room.

Walking out of the secret room, tan san noticed that the cultivators within the black market were already incredibly scarce, most of them were black market organizers, and as for the ordinary casual cultivators, there were only dozens of them.

Most of them were inextricably linked to the black market organizers and would be leaving this place with them.

tan san didn’t stay too long, and after the Cleansing Technique cleansed him and confirmed that no one had left aura markers behind, he quickly left.

At this point in time, the sky was already whitening, slowly regaining some light.

One incense stick later!

tan san passed by the Heavenly Lake and saw that above the lake, a cultivator was rowing a boat and spreading fishing nets, and in his heart, he also lamented that in this Immortal Cultivation Realm, it was also very much an inward scroll, and surprisingly, there were people who went out to catch fish so early in the morning.

Is planning to quickly leave, suddenly his mind moved, dark lining said: “The water resources here is very rich, just my water refining art because of the lack of sufficient water flow, can not quickly and gradually improve.

Nowadays, this place is quite suitable.

Moreover, while I am practicing the Water Refining Art, I can also refine the Yi Yuan Heavy Water in the meantime.”

Thinking of this, tan san’s figure folded and turned around before rushing towards the shore of the Heavenly Lake.

Without picking a place, tan san directly sat on top of a large rock that linked to the lake.

Then, with a flick of his hand, he took out a gourd artifact, precisely the Ruyi Gourd that he had just auctioned off from the black market auction house.

With a movement of his spiritual sense, he surged into it, and the spiritual energy in his body quickly flowed inside, and he began to sacrifice and refine it.

After all, it is an auction item, itself is the ownerless state, so he sacrificed up, also very easy.

Half an hour later, tan san’s spiritual sense was withdrawn, and he had already refined this Ruyi gourd.

“I didn’t expect that the space within this Ruyi Gourd is not small, enough to fit into a thousand tons of lake water.”

tan san was delighted in his heart and was somewhat satisfied with this magic weapon.

Previously, the reason why he had auctioned this Ruyi Gourd was for the Water Refining Technique, in order to refine the Yi Yuan Heavy Water.

Now that he took a look at it, he greatly felt that it was not a waste of time.

Only then did he place his mind on the water refining technique.

With a slight movement of his spiritual sense, a single spell rune was condensed by him.

Earlier, he had already cultivated this spell into the door, and at this time, casting it out was naturally smooth.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths ……

Fifteen breaths later.

Buzz!

Water Refining Technique +1

The spiritual energy in his body was rapidly consumed, and a green hazy spiritual light coalesced with it.

He hastily pulled a lake water out.

Zi zi zi ……

This mass of lake water was immediately refined and continuously compressed and condensed.

The lake water, which was originally the size of a water tank, was quickly refined and turned into half of its original size.

Its weight, however, only changed slightly, almost negligible.

“First refinement spirit water, this is spirit water that has undergone first refinement.”

tan san’s eyes brightened slightly.

From One Refined Spirit Water, to One Yuan Heavy Water, one needed to go through countless times of refining, and it was only when the Spirit Water became as black as ink and could no longer be refined that it would be considered a true success.

As for exactly how many times it needed to be refined, he himself wasn’t sure.

The exact speed was also related to his water refining art realm.

The higher the realm, the faster the natural refining speed and the higher the depth of the sacrifice.
