Chapter 215: Driving Away Tigers and Swallowing Wolves, Li Chen Dan [Please Subscribe]

The Ice Jade Soul Silkworm is a very peculiar insect.

This strange insect was born in the frozen wilderness. It has an extremely long lifespan and only grows one inch every thousand years!

They were born not to eat grains, nor blood. They only specialized in parasitizing the bodies of living beings who had passed out due to freezing, and fed on the souls of the living beings that froze and died.

So they have another fearsome nickname - Soul-eating Ice Silkworms

However, it should be noted that the Ice Jade Soul Silkworms will not actively harm the creatures that can still walk normally in extremely cold places. They will only appear next to the dying creatures and devour the souls that have collapsed after death.

Because of this, many immortal cultivators do not think it is an evil thing.

The Ice Jade Soul Silkworm is definitely a rare treasure for immortal cultivators.

It feeds on souls and can also be used to nourish the souls of immortal cultivators. It is extremely effective when assisting in opening up the Purple Mansion.

Even some monks whose souls have been damaged can refine it to repair damage to their souls.

It is said that the ice jade soul silkworms that are more than three inches long can even restore the damage to the souls of golden elixir stage monks.

Of course, if the ice jade soul silkworm was really of that level, it would definitely not be auctioned at this auction.

"Thirty-three thousand spiritual coins!"

"Thirty-five thousand spiritual coins!"

"Forty thousand spiritual coins!"

At this moment, the bidding price for the Ice Jade Soul Silkworms continued to rise, and one after another the cultivators from the Purple Mansion Period called out their bids to win this rare treasure for their family.

But Zhou Mingde remained silent.

Not only did he not speak out, some people who also had the same intention of winning the Ice Jade Soul Silkworm also did not speak out.

In this way, when the price climbed to 60,000 spirit coins, most of the shouts stopped.

It’s not that the Ice Jade Soul Silkworm is only worth this price.

In fact, things like ice jade soul silkworms have no fixed market price at all.

How much it is worth depends entirely on how much money the person who wants to buy it can afford.

The reason why the bidding has stopped now is because most of the powerful people in the cultivating clans can only come up with so much liquidity.

There are not many large immortal cultivating clans in the entire Jingguo who can afford 60,000 spiritual coins. Most of the large cultivating clans have liquidity that cannot exceed 50,000 spiritual coins.

After all, such a large family has to spend a lot of money every year. If there is no windfall, it will be difficult for the income to increase dramatically.

Moreover, in order to give hope to the clansmen, a lot of money is spent every ten or eight years to purchase foundation-building pills and other spiritual objects to help a clan member build a foundation, which makes it even harder to save a lot of money.

The Zhou family would not have been able to collect so many spiritual coins this time if Zhou Chun had not made a fortune from Qinglian Temple and had collected a lot of spiritual coins by selling some rare treasures from the waters of Long Yuanze.

But obviously not every family's supreme elders, clan leaders, etc. are willing to raise money out of their own pockets to purchase spiritual objects for someone in the family to help open up the Purple Mansion.

So at this time, there are fewer bidding calls, which is completely normal.

"Seventy thousand spiritual coins!"

At this moment, Zhou Mingde suddenly spoke up and increased the price by thousands of spiritual coins.

At this moment, everyone's eyes suddenly turned towards the Zhou family table. Su Yunniang on the high platform also turned her beautiful eyes and looked at Zhou Mingde who made a sound.

"It turns out to be fellow Daoist Zhou from the Zhou family in Lanzhou. No wonder he is so wealthy!"

A deep old voice slowly sounded, and then continued: "But our Lin family is also interested in this ice jade soul silkworm. We can only bid based on our own capital. Lin offered 73,000 spiritual coins!"

The Lin family in Yanzhou?

Zhou Chun looked at the old man who spoke out, and immediately recognized that his family was also one of the top thirty this time.

Obviously, after learning about the upcoming southern expedition to the Hualong Sect, he also wanted to capture the Ice Jade Soul Silkworm so that he could add another Purple Mansion Stage monk to the family.

Meet your match!

The three members of the Zhou family looked at each other with solemn expressions in their eyes.

Then Zhou Mingde nodded slightly and replied: "Fellow Daoist Lin is right, everyone just bids based on their own capital."

After saying that, he didn't raise the price again.

Seeing this scene, instead of showing joy, the old man of the Lin family looked very serious.

Sure enough, seeing that Zhou Mingde did not increase the price, another voice suddenly rang out and said: "Eighty thousand spiritual coins!"

For a moment, everyone on the field looked at the monk who made the noise, wanting to see who was so wealthy.

But when they saw the person who made the noise, everyone's pupils shrank.

Because the bidder was a Jindan monk from a Jindan family!

Bidding with a Golden Core monk requires not only financial resources, but also courage!

After all, they are not familiar people, and no one knows how powerful the other person is.

If you meet a narrow-minded person and hold a grudge because of this incident, it will be a real disaster!

So the old man of the Lin family, who was talking about bidding based on his own capital just now, was silent at this time.

Even Su Yunniang on the stage took a few glances at Bi Qiuyue, Zhen Bingyang, and Shan Yangzi, and quickly said softly: "Eighty thousand spiritual coins at a time, are there any fellow Taoists who will continue to bid?"

This is something that has never happened before.

Before, she would have to wait at least several hundred breaths before asking this question!

After her words came out, the old man from the Lin family and several other monks who were also interested had their throats brimming with emotion. They wanted to say something, but they never dared to say it.

But Zhou Mingde said in a deep voice at this time: "Eighty-one thousand spiritual coins!"

Um?

In an instant, the much-anticipated situation once again appeared to everyone in the Zhou family.

At this moment, many people admired the courage of the Zhou family.

Don't talk about money or not, you have to be convinced by your courage!

But the golden elixir stage monk just glanced at Zhou Mingde and said again: "Eighty-five thousand spiritual coins!"

"Eighty-six thousand spiritual coins!"

Zhou Mingde did not hesitate to increase the price again.

He looked very calm and calm at the moment, as if he couldn't feel the eyes from all directions at all.

This made the golden elixir stage monk's eyes change slightly, and then he said in a deep voice: "Ninety thousand spiritual coins!"

"Ninety-one thousand spiritual coins!"

Zhou Mingde's expression did not change at all, his tone was extremely calm, and he still increased the price by one thousand spirit coins.

This is his third price increase, and it is actually his last price increase.

Because if the price is higher, he will have no money.

But there is a saying that goes well, there are only three things that can happen.

Zhou Mingde dared to raise the price three times in the face of the bidding from the golden elixir-level monks.

Not to mention how courageous he is, just his determination to win has to make people look at him.

Even the golden elixir stage monk fell silent at this time and was speechless for a long time.

After hundreds of breaths passed without anyone making a sound, Su Yunniang on the stage seemed to understand that the golden elixir stage monk had given up, and she said softly: "For the first time with ninety-one thousand spirit coins, Are there any fellow Taoists willing to increase the price?"

The words fell, but still no one spoke.

So after waiting for more than ten breaths, she repeated it again.

"Ninety-one thousand spirit coins for the third time. Okay, congratulations to Fellow Daoist Zhou for winning this ice jade soul silkworm!"

As Su Yunniang finally spoke for the third time, everyone in the Zhou family breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter what, they still captured this ice jade soul silkworm.

Although it was very difficult to win and the price paid was huge, now is the time to celebrate happily, not to think about the bad things.

After Zhou Mingde relaxed in one breath, he immediately bowed his hands to the golden elixir monk and said, "Thank you, Senior Ye, for your kindness."

Immediately, he clasped his fists and bowed his hands in all directions, saying, "Thank you all fellow Taoists for your love!"

In response to his actions, the Jindan-level monk surnamed Ye just looked at him deeply and did not respond.

The other monks knew that he was just being polite and did not need to respond.

So under various complicated eyes, Zhou Mingde came forward with a large amount of spiritual coins to complete the delivery, and took the jade box containing the ice jade soul silkworms in his hands.

After buying this thing, the Zhou family could only be spectators at the auction.

Next, the auction conference was still in full swing. Treasures that were rarely seen in ordinary times were put up for auction, and each time they fetched a shockingly high price.

The further you go to the back, the more precious treasures appear.

During this period, some talismans were even put up for auction!

This was also the first time Zhou Chun saw a talisman being auctioned in public, and the price was not as expensive as he thought.

The starting price for a complete unused talisman was 30,000 spirit coins, but the final transaction price was only 83,000 spirit coins, which was not as good as the ice jade soul silkworm bought by the Zhou family!

Zhou Chun was a little confused at first, but after Zhou Mingde's explanation, he was relieved.

Although the talisman is extremely powerful, unless it is a talisman with some special magical powers, it will be difficult to kill another person in a single fight if one's cultivation has reached the Zifu stage.

An early-stage Zifu cultivator with a talisman in hand may be able to leapfrog and fight against a middle-stage Zifu cultivator, but it would be difficult for him to easily kill another early-stage Zifu cultivator with this talisman.

Generally, monks in the Purple Mansion Stage will practice escape techniques and magical powers that can be used to escape at critical moments. Once they are used, opponents may not be able to catch up immediately even if they also have similar magical powers.

Because when this type of escape technique is activated, most of the speed is too fast, and the immortal cultivator himself cannot accurately control the destination of the escape, and can only lock on a general direction to escape.

In this case, unless one's own cultivation level is much higher than that of the opponent, or one has practiced escape magic to a very profound level and can freely control the speed and direction.

Otherwise, it would be very difficult for a Zifu Stage monk to kill another Zifu Stage monk.

Therefore, it is normal that a talisman cannot be sold for more than the price of the Ice Jade Soul Silkworm.

After selling countless treasures in this way, Su Yunniang on the stage reached out and touched the storage bag as usual, took out a fiery red elixir bottle, and introduced: "The next treasure is a kind of elixir. It’s called the Chiming Flowing Pearl Pill, and it can help the monks in the Purple Mansion Stage who practice the fire technique to break through their bottlenecks, and the effect is very good.”

After saying that, he held up the elixir bottle in his hand and said: "One Chiming Liuzhu elixir, the starting price is 20,000 spirit coins, and each increase in price must not be less than 500 spirit coins!"

"There really is such a thing!"

On the Zhou family table, the three Zhou family members looked at the Chiming Liuzhu Pill that Su Yunniang held in her hands, and they all looked at each other in silence.

"The money is all spent anyway, so let's go as planned!"

Zhou Chun muttered to himself in a low voice, which was considered an answer.

So the three of them could only watch the price of this thing rising all the way, and finally it was bought by someone for 78,000 spiritual coins.

But what the three of them didn't expect was that the person who bought the Chiming Liuzhu Pill turned out to be the middle-stage Zifu cultivator of the Jiang family.

"What do the people of the Jiang family want to do? Is it possible that that guy wants to use this Scarlet Ming Liuzhu Pill to break through to the later stage of Zi Mansion?"

Zhou Mingde's expression changed slightly, and he looked at the monk from the Jiang Family's Purple Mansion in surprise.

"That old guy is indeed practicing the fire technique. Maybe he really thinks so!"

Zhou Daoyi said with a solemn expression, and his tone suddenly became serious.

If the Jiang family had only one middle-stage Zifu cultivator and one early-stage Zifu cultivator, then the Zhou family would not be afraid of them.

But if the Jiang family had a late-stage Zifu cultivator, the Zhou family would really have no advantage in terms of strength.

"Why don't we just inform Lin Hongyu and ask her to grab this Chiyang Liuzhu Pill! If it doesn't work, we will ruin the good thing that the old guy has done to break through to the late Zifu!"

Zhou Chun also secretly sent a message to the two of them at this time, and expressed his thoughts harshly.

It must be said that his bottom line is very flexible.

Previously, he used the reason that he didn't want to be an enemy to persuade the clan leader Zhou Daoyi to accept raising money to purchase spiritual objects to help open up the Zifu. Now that he saw that the Jiang family had purchased Chiyang Liuzhu Pill, which might pose a great threat to the Zhou family, he immediately wanted to Drive away the tiger and devour the wolf!

Of course, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi knew that he was doing all this for the family, so naturally they would not tease him about it at this time.

What's more, Zhou Chun's strategy of driving away tigers and devouring wolves is indeed simple and easy to use.

But after Zhou Daoyi thought about it for a moment, he frowned and said, "But I'm afraid it's too late. If Lin Hongyu wants to receive our news, it will take a month no matter how soon. With that time, the old man from the Jiang family will probably I have already gone home and taken the elixir, is Lin Hongyu so stupid?"

"Then find a way to delay that old guy from the Jiang family so that he can't take the elixir so quickly and retreat to achieve breakthrough!"

Zhou Mingde said his plan in a deep voice, but he already agreed with Zhou Chun's strategy of driving away tigers and devouring wolves.

So the three of them had various discussions around delaying the breakthrough time for the Jiang family's Zifu monks to retreat in the middle period, and they had completely lost interest in the upcoming auction.

And amid the intense discussion among the three, the auction gradually came to an end.

"The following is the last treasure in this auction. It is also a treasure specially prepared by the three sects for this auction!"

On the high platform, Su Yunniang was talking as she reached into her storage bag and took out a jade box.

At the same time, the three golden elixir monks sitting cross-legged on three sides all stood up and came closer to protect her.

Xuanzhi heard her voice full of temptation and said: "It is the elixir contained in the jade bottle in my hand, the famous Li Chen Dan, which can help people condense the golden elixir!"
