Chapter 46 Fu Family Secret Room
"The reserve price of this foundation-building pill is 1,500 low-grade spirit stones, and each bid must not be less than 100 low-grade spirit stones." The old man with white hair said the most shocking reserve price of today's auction.
Hearing this reserve price, Xiao Lin stood up directly. After paying the spirit stones to a white-faced monk in a wing room at the back, he got the jade slip of the spirit weapon refining method and three talismans that he had bid for, and then left the auction house directly.
As for what kind of sky-high price this foundation-building pill would be auctioned at in the end, it was no longer important to Xiao Lin. Although the amount of spirit stones he spent on participating in this auction made him feel painful, it was worthwhile to get these three talismans that sealed the primary great perfection spells. At least he had some means to save his life.
After leaving the auction house, Xiao Lin deliberately spent half an hour in the inner city. After making sure that no one was following him, he left the inner city. He did not return to the inn, but prepared to leave Wuyin Xiancheng, but before leaving, he was going to go to another place.
There is a residential area in the west of Wuyin Xiancheng. Most of the people in this residential area are ordinary mortals. These mortals did not move from secular countries such as Yuxi Country, but are descendants of cultivators. Although cultivators all have spiritual roots, the probability of giving birth to children with spiritual roots after they get married is still very high, but nothing is absolute. There are also many children between cultivators who do not have spiritual roots and do not have the prerequisites for cultivation.
And these people are native to Wuyin Xiancheng, so naturally they are unwilling to leave here and go to a strange city. Therefore, in addition to hundreds of thousands of low-level cultivators, Wuyin Xiancheng also has millions of ordinary mortals. The west of the city is a gathering area for ordinary mortals. There are also some low-key cultivators who will buy properties here and practice quietly, so the west of the city is the place with the most complex personnel structure.
The place Xiao Lin was going to today was in a manor in the west of the city. After walking around the west for an hour, Xiao Lin stopped in front of a manor. The manor looked quite grand, much more grand than the house of the landlord Wang in Xiao Lin Village. There were two marble lions at the door, imitating the secular wealthy families. Xiao Lin looked around before coming to the door and knocking on the copper ring on the door.
After half a cup of tea, the door opened and an old man in his fifties came out. Xiao Lin's spiritual consciousness scanned it slightly and knew that this old man was not a cultivator, but just an ordinary mortal.
"I wonder who this immortal master is looking for?" The old man saw Xiao Lin, glanced at the storage bag on his waist, and said with a look of surprise on his face.
"I came here to pick up something at the request of Daoist Fellow Fu Chuan." Xiao Lin said lightly.
When the old man heard what Xiao Lin said, his face immediately turned pale, his eyes slightly red, and he choked up and said: "Alas, I didn't expect that the master and his wife had suffered a disaster a few years ago. Now the young master is also unlucky and has died. The path of cultivation is indeed difficult. If the young master had listened to the master and his wife's dying words and become an ordinary person, he would not have died so young." While speaking, the old man wiped his tears. After a while, he raised his head and said with a sob: "Master, please don't blame me. I am also sad for a while and can't help myself. Please forgive me." "It's okay." Although Xiao Lin saw that the old man in front of him did not practice, he did not agree with the style of the young master of the Fu family, that is, the young boy, so he never let down his guard. "Master, follow me." Wiping away tears, the old man led Xiao Lin into the inner courtyard. The inner courtyard was very spacious, about an acre in size, and it was obviously not often maintained. Most of the places were overgrown with weeds. The old man led Xiao Lin to the main house and came to a wind screen. There, the old man gently turned a porcelain bottle on the wooden shelf next to him. With the sound of "zaza", a secret door appeared on the wall.
"Master, please." The old man glanced at Xiao Lin, and then walked inside first. Xiao Lin followed closely. After entering the door, there was actually a corridor. This corridor was surprisingly long. Xiao Lin estimated that it was at least hundreds of meters long, and it went all the way down. It seemed that this was a secret room dug underground in the Fu family.
Soon, the two saw a light. What appeared in front of them was an ancient stone house. There was nothing else in the stone house except a stone table and a few stools. On one wall, there was a long-burning lamp. No one knew what was burning inside, but it actually emitted a faint purple light.
On the other wall of the stone house, there is a lion head, with bared teeth and glaring eyes, with a ferocious expression.
"Master, as long as you input magic power into the lion head, you can enter the secret room. The things of the master and the mistress are all inside. Master, you can take them yourself." The old man glanced at Xiao Lin and said.
Xiao Lin nodded expressionlessly, came to the lion head, and injected a stream of magic power into the lion head from a distance. With the injection of magic power, the lion head began to emit a hazy red light. After nearly a cup of tea, when Xiao Lin's magic power was consumed by almost one-third, the lion head suddenly retracted into the wall. Then, the wall was pushed to both sides silently, revealing the secret room inside.
Xiao Lin's eyes flashed with surprise. Although the young master of the Fu family told him the location of the secret room and how to enter the secret room before he died, he did not mention the origin and cultivation of his parents, or even what was in the secret room. This is why Xiao Lin has been in Wuyin Xiancheng for several years but has never come to look for it. If he had not planned to leave Wuyin Xiancheng, Xiao Lin would even think about coming back after a few years.
Xiao Lin took a step lightly. The moment he took a step, three emerald green translucent shields appeared beside him, looming and constantly changing direction. After entering the secret room, Xiao Lin found that the layout of this secret room was similar to that of the outside, but there were more things. On the west wall, there was an ebony bookshelf with a few things on it, and on the other side, there was an offering table with two tablets on it.
"The tablet of my late father Fu Rong, and the tablet of my late mother Che Huan." Xiao Lin saw that the incense on the offering table had been cut off for a long time. It seemed that after the death of the young master of the Fu family, no one came to burn incense. Even if the old gatekeeper wanted to, he was powerless. After all, if you want to enter here, you need magic power.
Xiao Lin had no interest in the tablet. He came to the wooden shelf, where four items were placed: a jade slip, a crystal clear palm-sized fiery red jade pendant, a thumb-sized unknown metal with a faint golden halo, and a small bottle of elixir. Next to it, there was a small pile of low-grade spirit stones, about forty or fifty pieces.
Xiao Lin's eyes fell on the fiery red jade pendant, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"This is actually a top-grade magic weapon?" Xiao Lin was really surprised. The young master of the Fu family was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining. According to reason, it was impossible for him to control a top-grade magic weapon. This top-grade magic weapon was probably left by his parents. If it were Xiao Lin himself, he would probably hide the more valuable things like the young master of the Fu family. After all, if these things were carried with him, they would be too eye-catching and could easily bring him a fatal disaster.
Xiao Lin first put the dozens of low-grade spirit stones into his bag without hesitation, then picked up the jade slip, held it in his palm, and studied it carefully. After half an hour, Xiao Lin opened his eyes and showed a surprised expression on his face.
It turned out that the jade slip did record the recipe of the Soul-Enriching Pill. Xiao Lin had already obtained the recipe of the Soul-Enriching Pill from Doctor Gu, which was not enough to surprise him. What surprised him was that the jade slip not only recorded the recipe of the Soul-Enriching Pill, but also put forward a bold idea for the refining of the Soul-Enriching Pill. If a spirit grass called Bingyin Grass is added during the refining of the Soul-Enriching Pill, and then supplemented with several auxiliary spirit materials, the efficacy of the Soul-Enriching Pill can theoretically be increased by more than 30%.
This made Xiao Lin somewhat surprised. He was originally worried about breaking through the bottleneck of the middle stage of Qi Refining. After all, the recipe of the Five Elements Spiritual Pill, which was very helpful for him to break through the bottleneck, was not available at all. If he could really improve the efficacy of the Soul-Enriching Pill by 30% according to the idea in the jade slip, he might be able to help himself break through the bottleneck of the middle stage.
For Xiao Lin now, the most urgent thing is to improve his realm, because if he does not enter the late stage of Qi Refining, he will not be able to practice elementary spells and control the best magic tools, which will greatly reduce his combat power. There are more than two years left, that is, when the underground cave is opened, he must enter it to pick the purple spiritual flowers anyway, which is the only way for him to enter the five major sects. If he cannot enter the underground cave this time, he will have to wait another 30 years. If that happens, the road to cultivating immortals will basically be cut off.
However, Xiao Lin has never seen a spiritual grass like Bingyin grass, and he doesn't know where to buy it. He can only put this matter aside for the time being and go to the market to look for it later.
Xiao Lin then picked up the unknown metal that was shining with a faint golden halo, took it in front of his eyes, and looked at it carefully for a while. In his opinion, this should be a piece of refining material, but he has no need to refine magic tools now, so he threw this spiritual material into the storage bag.
Finally, Xiao Lin's eyes fell on the fiery red palm-sized jade pendant. The jade pendant was red all over, and a lifelike phoenix was carved on the surface. Around the phoenix was a patterned frame, which looked very delicate. Even Xiao Lin, a grown man, couldn't help but like it when he saw it.
He stretched out his hand and picked up the red jade pendant, but as soon as he grabbed the jade pendant, a red light flashed from the jade pendant. The next moment, Xiao Lin felt dizzy, and only had time to think of the two words "seizing the body" before he lost consciousness.
