Chapter 45.
Under the moon starry night sky.
Nine Leaf Mountain, however, appeared to have a mist that was even denser than the morning.
It wasn’t until Su Ping walked into the mists with the wooden plaque that he felt the mist around him suddenly roll over.
And then a wave of vapor formed a floating platform at his feet, riding Su Ping directly to the top of the mountain.
It was different from the workshop located on the mountainside.
There was only an ancient and simple looking courtyard at the top of the mountain.
As Su Ping landed at the entrance, there was immediately an old acquaintance, the old cultivator who sat in the Cloud Treasure House, who came to greet him.
The old cultivator recognized Su Ping, but did not say anything about it, but only whispered quietly and confidentially as he handed over the wooden plaque:
“This Taoist friend please come in, first take a look at the Yun family’s catalog, later the Yun family’s auction will be held first.”
“Afterwards, the Yun Family will be the guarantor and provide a quiet room for everyone to communicate.”
“Please don’t worry, fellow Daoist, the Cloud Mist Grand Formation of the Nine Leaves Marketplace is already in full operation, everyone’s privacy and safety can be guaranteed.”
Su Ping nodded slightly, not commenting on the Yun Family’s assurance.
He entered the hall room of the quadrangle courtyard and saw that several people were already seated inside around the large round table.
One of them, if not mistaken, seemed to be that Rune Master Luo?
Although this old cultivator was wearing a mask, he was still wearing the same vestments he had seen last time.
In addition that rouge and powder smell on him had not changed even when the spirit mouse Xiao Bai sniffed it.
Su Ping secretly shook his head in his heart.
The Immortal Sect was still peaceful for too long, so much so that this kind of old cultivator who had relied on the talisman to earn spirit stones for decades at ease, had lost the heart of caution ah.
Slowly sipping the good tea, he waited for a while.
After a few more cultivators came to the courtyard with extraordinary temperament at a glance, the door closed and a water mist enveloped the courtyard.
Then a cultivator in the late Qi Practicing stage stepped into the hall from the corridor and bowed his hand towards the attending cultivators.
“I, Yun Yuan, am the current Grand Elder of the Yun Family!”
“At the same time, I am also the Third Deacon of the Immortal Sect’s Outer Sect’s Agricultural Affairs Hall.”
“This time, I was entrusted by the family to come here as the Yun Family’s presiding officer, so I hope that all of you will bear with me if there are any shortcomings.”
Yun Yuan quickly came to the main seat, and after sweeping over the crowd that had come to attend, he took out the storage bag labeled as number one and placed it on the table:
“Three hundred years of mid-grade Dragon Beard Grass, base price 100 spirit stones ……”
Su Ping had long since finished reading the cargo book, and he was not interested in the spirit plants at the very beginning.
He was not proficient in alchemy, nor did he understand the art of spiritual plants.
And the ones who wanted to buy these were usually outer sect cultivators who had backgrounds in other Immortal Cultivation clans.
Su Ping hated trouble and did not care to fight with them for these useless things.
“Coming!”
As the auction progressed past the halfway point, Su Ping suddenly straightened his body, his eyes looking towards the storage bag that Yun Yuan took out.
“Bloodline Stone Plate, this one from my Yun Family, comes from the ancestor’s acquisition a hundred years ago, and is capable of identifying 3,600 types of spirit bodies.”
Yun Yuan paused before continuing:
“This item is a necessity for cultivators who aspire to form an Immortal Cultivation Family.”
“With this bloodline stone plate, one can know in advance whether or not their descendants have an innate spirit body, and thus focus on cultivating them.”
“It requires a spirit stone to activate, and each spirit stone can be detected one hundred times.”
“Up to one hundred people’s blood can be tested each time.”
“Also attached is a jade slip detailing the spirit bodies annotated by my Yun Family’s successive ancestors.”
“Reserve price ……200 spirit stones!”
Su Ping stared at the storage bag, his mind recalling the relevant knowledge he had recently crammed.
The magic weapon that could accurately detect the quality of spiritual roots had always been strictly controlled by the Immortal Sect, and even the Immortal Cultivation Families had never heard of anyone openly stating that they possessed a similar magic weapon.
Those Immortal Cultivation Families had turned to the next best thing, choosing blood vein plates and other similar magic weapons that could detect the quality of their spiritual bodies.
Most of those who possessed spiritual roots did not have a spiritual body.
Those with spirit bodies would at least have lower grade spirit roots unless they were extremely special!
For example, the Ji family’s daughter in Golden Bird City would most likely have some sort of seductive related spirit body, and as a result, possess a lower grade spirit root.
If the Ji family possessed this kind of magic weapon, there was no doubt that the Ji family’s daughter would be able to be nurtured by the family from a young age.
However, for the Ji family, the difference between the level of a mortal family and that of an Immortal Cultivation family was still too great.
Not to mention two hundred spirit stones, the Ji family might not be able to come up with twenty spirit stones even if they took out all of their liquidity!
“Two hundred and thirty spirit stones!”
When Yun Yuan’s words fell, an eagle-faced cultivator who had bought quite a few spirit plants bid again:
“This is already a high price, in the Immortal Sect’s General Workshop, a similar bloodline stone slab is only two hundred and fifty spirit stones.”
Yun Yuan frowned at his words and added:
“But going to the Immortal Sect’s General Workshop also requires merit contributions to be exchanged, and in addition, our piece also has more than a hundred more types of spirit bodies.”
“Hehe, the probability of a Spirit Body appearing is too low, how many Spirit Bodies has your Yun Family detected in the past hundred years?”
Listening to the sound of their open talk.
Su Ping silently calculated the spirit stones in his storage bag.
In addition to the one hundred and fifty or so spirit stones provided by the robbing cultivator, the demonic beast materials that Su Ping had sold this week had also provided him with more than six hundred spirit stones.
There was no way around it, even though the quality of the demonic beast materials for forced advancement was low, it was superior in that the quantity was really large enough, especially since that one-horned cow provided a small six hundred kilograms of demonic beast meat in one head!
Letting Su Ping want to not get rich overnight was not an option!
“Two hundred and fifty spirit stones!”
Su Ping thought about giving the offer and was prepared for a cultivator to raise the price.
Only, as this price was quoted, several cultivators with backgrounds however, all glanced at each other before tacitly choosing to give up.
“Uh huh?”
Su Ping was slightly stunned and immediately understood the reason for this.
The use of this thing, the Blood Vein Slate, was actually quite narrow, and the cultivators at the meeting who could afford to buy basically had similar ones, and bought them just to use them for checking and filling in the gaps.
As for those who can not afford to buy …… well, naturally more unlikely to bid.
The price is suitable they buy, not suitable also even if.
After all, in this Immortal Cultivation world, even Immortal Cultivation clans will have a large number of clansmen who are mortals with no inferior spiritual roots.
The probability of having a spiritual body is even less!
Some stingy Immortal Cultivation Clans, even non-first line descendants, without divine manifestations are not given the opportunity to use the bloodline stone plate test.
Let them buy more than one at a high price just to check for leaks, I’m afraid that no one of the attending cultivators would dare to make a decision.
Next, Su Ping participated in several more auctions.
Taking down a set of small psychedelic formations, as well as several small magic artifacts that could mask their breath and protect their bodies.
After that, Su Ping began to watch his eyes and nose, silently waiting for the auction to end.
Su Ping’s behavior like this caused the several family cultivators led by that eagle-faced cultivator to secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
They had initially thought that this fellow was an overgrown dragon that the Yun Family had found somewhere to raise the price.
It was a good thing that this cultivator was not involved in any of the auction items that involved heavyweight interests.
It seemed like they were overthinking it.
As the auction reached the second half, the spirit fields, spirit mines and even the marketplace itself were all sold by the Yun Family.
It made the other attending cultivators envious.
That old talisman master was even a bit out of sorts, seemingly dreaming of a workshop market and spirit fields of his own.
“The auction is over, thank you for your appreciation, fellow Daoists, you can come and deliver with me, and then there are quiet rooms on the left and right available for you to trade privately.”
After saying that, Yun Yuan went to the back hall with those family cultivators first.
Only when those family cultivators came out satisfied, did Su Ping walk in and delivered the spirit stones to get the array disk and other things.
And then returned to the hall, Su Ping took out the Peiyuan Dan from the robbing cultivator and the Qi Returning Dan.
He exchanged some talismans with that old talisman master, and then from the hands of other cultivators, he used spirit stones to collect some of the talismans, weapon smiths, array formations and other related materials.
Subsequently, Su Ping found Yun Yuan after he proposed that he wanted to leave.
Along with the operation of the formation, the water vapor carried Su Ping back to the foot of the Nine Leaf Mountain.
It was only when his feet stepped on the earth that Su Ping silently loosened the Thunder Fire Bead hidden in his sleeve.
And gently closed his eyes and through the spirit mouse little white little gray contacted the surrounding rats to check the situation around Nine Leaf Mountain.
Tens of seconds later, after confirming that it was safe, Su Ping, who was planning to leave, suddenly realized the unexpected situation:
“Huh?”
“There really is an unexpected situation!”
“However, it looks like it’s not targeting me, but rather, the daoist friend who left earlier than me has met with a chase!”
