Chapter 60: Golden Elixir Supports the Battle

It was almost dusk, and the open space in front of Lingchuan was crowded with people. Although it was not as grand as the auction of the Condensing Gold Creation Pill on October 10 last year, there were at least nearly two hundred cultivators waiting for the opening of Lingchuan and the start of the auction.

At this time, Xiao Mian huddled in a corner, and the shadow covered most of his figure. He had nothing to do, so he turned his attention to the conversation of two casual cultivators.

"Brother Liu, something is wrong with Lingchuan Market! The public security in the market is obviously very good, why are there so many patrolling cultivators on duty? You know, hiring so many foundation-building cultivators to patrol is not a small amount in a day!"

"Xiao Xuanzi, what do you know!? Lingchuan Market suffered a big loss not long ago. If it can't get its face back, Lingchuan Market will lose all its face." At this point, Brother Liu looked around and deliberately lowered his voice. "I heard that the treasure room in Lingchuan Market was robbed more than half a year ago, and the thieves took away a full 20,000 middle-grade spiritual treasures. Stone tools, and walked away. Because of this, the person in charge of Lingchuan Market was replaced! As for this hiring fee, it is naturally a bit of pressure for Lingchuan Market, but it is just a drop in the bucket for the forces behind Lingchuan Market! "

"Is there such a thing? Someone dares to hijack Lingchuan Market? Isn't it said that there are three Jindan strongmen stationed in Lingchuan Market all year round? How come... Could it be that the man is actually a Yuanying..."

"Silence! You don't want to live!"

Glancing at Xiao Mian not far away, Brother Liu quickly changed the subject and said some irrelevant gossip.

At this time, Xiao Mian was shocked. From what the two people said, the one who hijacked Lingchuan Market was actually a Yuanying ancestor - but how could a dignified Yuanying ancestor do such a bad thing for a mere 20,000 middle-grade spirit stones?

After thinking about it, Xiao Mian didn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it. After all, it had nothing to do with him. More importantly, Lingchuan finally opened on time.

After deliberately waiting for a while, Xiao Mian stood up slowly after most of the cultivators entered Lingchuan.

This time, without Xie Ying's guidance, Xiao Mian had to pay an entrance fee of 50 low-grade spirit stones to enter Lingchuan - this was because Xiao Mian was a cultivator in the Qi training stage. If he was a cultivator in the foundation building stage, he would need to pay 300 low-grade spirit stones, and a Jindan cultivator would need to pay 10 medium-grade spirit stones.

After paying the entrance fee, Xiao Mian was invited into Lingchuan, and then he saw seven or eight cultivators waiting. The maid in front was obviously arranged by the auction organizer to lead them, but she didn't lead everyone into the auction until two more cultivators came in. Obviously, without Xie Ying's care, Xiao Mian not only had to pay the entrance fee, but also lost the treatment of being led by a maid as before. As for the independent elegant pavilion, naturally, there was no hope.

Sure enough, Xiao Mian and others were led to the seats around the platform.

After casually finding a seat by the side, Xiao Mian found that the two people sitting not far from him were Brother Liu and his friend who had spoken before. After a slight pause, Xiao Mian was too lazy to look for other seats to avoid attracting attention.

After a while, an old man with white hair and beard walked onto the platform.

"I am Duan Tianwei, one of the three Jindan stationed in Lingchuan Market!"

The old man took the lead and showed off his power to everyone present.

Sure enough, after Duan Tianwei finished speaking, the originally noisy scene became silent. Duan Tianwei obviously enjoyed this atmosphere of being the center of attention.

Xiao Mian was quite disdainful. He looked up and saw that there was indeed no floating pavilion in the air. This meant that at least on the surface, no Jindan masters participated in this auction. As for whether there were Jindan masters hidden in the dark, it was not something Xiao Mian could know.

No wonder Duan Tianwei dared to be so arrogant. When the nine floating pavilions were lifted into the air, why didn't he see Duan Tianwei jumping around?

"Everything in the auction is in accordance with the usual practice. I won't say much. Let's start with the first nine items!" As Duan Tianwei finished speaking, nine maids came with nine trays. Duan Tianwei unveiled the first red cloth and saw a fist-sized black and gold ore lying on it. Duan Tianwei looked at it with some excitement, and then raised his head to introduce: "This first item is a strange item that even I am a little jealous of - Black Mysterious Gold! This item is a crude ore that can be refined into 'Nine Heavens Mysterious Gold', and can also be used directly to refine tools. Although the effect is far worse than Nine Heavens Mysterious Gold, it is also precious for Foundation Establishment Stage or even Golden Core Stage cultivators!"

When Duan Tianwei said this, there was an uproar below, except for Xiao Mian who was stunned.

Nine Heavens Mysterious Gold, that is one of the most sharp and fine metal spiritual materials in legend. If a fingernail-sized amount of Nine Heavens Mysterious Gold is added to an ordinary flying sword, the sharpness of the flying sword will be greatly enhanced. However, Nine Heavens Mysterious Gold has always been hard to come by. The occasional ones that appear in the world are obtained by the Yuanying ancestors or the major sects and families. Ordinary casual cultivators only hear of it but never see its form. Now, although this black and black gold is just a crude ore for refining Nine Heavens Mysterious Gold, it is already very precious. No wonder the auction will use this item as the first item for the opening.

As for Xiao Mian, he remembered that when the scholar helped him to refine the Xuanfeng Sword, he took out the fingernail-sized black and gold metal. Thinking carefully, the scholar did say that the metal was Nine Heavens Mysterious Gold, and he also had a very distressed expression.

Now it seems that he has made a profit after all.

"Although it is impossible to refine the Nine Heavens Mysterious Gold from this piece of Black Mysterious Gold, if it is directly used to transform a flying sword, it is enough to more than double the sharpness of a magical-grade flying sword, and its attack power and damage The power will more than double." After introducing the purpose and value of the item in detail, Duan Tianwei finally said: "The base price of this item is 1,000 yuan of low-grade spiritual stones. Each increase in price shall not be less than 100 yuan of low-grade spiritual stones. Let's start bidding!"

"Fifteen hundred low-grade spiritual stones!"

"two thousand!"

"I'll give you two thousand five thousand!"

"I no longer count on Jiutian Xuanjin in this life, but I can't give up when I encounter this black Xuanjin. I want three thousand low-grade spiritual stones!"

"Hmph! You said if you want it, it's yours? Four thousand low-grade spiritual stones!"

"You! Huh..., four thousand one hundred low-grade spiritual stones!"

"Five thousand!"

"..., five thousand one hundred low-grade spiritual stones!"

"Six thousand!"

"..."

The monk who was determined to win the Black Mysterious Gold glanced at the monk who raised the price with him, but did not increase the price.

Others have long stopped quoting. After all, six thousand low-grade spiritual stones are worth most of the net worth of an ordinary monk in the foundation-building stage, which is enough to buy a good high-level magic weapon flying sword. Instead of buying a piece of black black gold and spending a lot of money, it would be better. It's better to buy a brand new flying sword.

After all, this is just the first item to be auctioned. Who knows if there are more interesting objects in the future?

As for Xiao Mian, he didn't bother to quote a price. The Xuanfeng sword in his hand was made of genuine Nine Heavens Xuanjin. What's the use of asking for this black Xuanjin?

In the end, the fist-sized piece of black gold was swatted away by a graceful swordsman. It was obviously used to strengthen his flying sword. Only a swordsman who only practices one sword in his life would continue to use all kinds of swordsmanship. Use spiritual materials to strengthen your own flying sword.
