Chapter 192 Special Demon Core, Small Forbidden Formation!

the next day.

Lu Changsheng went out and walked towards the Jiuxiao Mountain auction venue.

Today is the day of Jiuxiao Immortal City’s semi-annual auction.

But for Jiuxiao Immortal City, this kind of small auction is just a small excitement.

Selling some rarely seen boutique items.

As far as Lu Changsheng knew, the real excitement in Immortal City was the auction held every three years or every ten years.

Like the Foundation Establishment Pill, many rare elixirs, inheritance of skills, and treasures of heaven and earth can all be seen at such large auctions.

After arriving at the Jiuxiao Mountain auction venue, Lu Changsheng took out the invitation he bought early.

"Fellow Taoist, what you are holding is an invitation to the box. Please come with me!"

A maid with a beautiful face and a sweet smile invited Lu Changsheng to the second floor of the venue.

"In the private room, the privacy of the guests is absolutely confidential, and after you take the photo of the treasure, someone will directly send it to the private room for trading..."

The maid led the way and introduced the facilities and rules of the auction venue.

"Um."

Lu Changsheng nodded slightly.

He knew these aspects before.

The private room is not only much more comfortable, but also provides a certain amount of privacy.

"It is indeed a fairy city. Even if it is just a small auction, it will be more lively than the auction that Hongye Gufang City has been preheating for so long."

Lu Changsheng came to the box and sat down, overlooking the entire auction and looking at the seats on the first floor that were full.

Most of them are monks in the late stages of Qi refining.

There are also many foundation-building monks.

"Dong——"

Almost half an hour later, with the sound of a loud gong, a tall and charming female cultivator wearing a red dress walked onto the venue.

"Thank you all for coming to support me. This auction will start now. I wish all fellow Taoists and seniors can buy what they want."

"The first item to be auctioned is the low-grade spiritual weapon 'Jianghe Yiqi Crossbow'. It has the effects of attacking enemies, breaking spells, and breaking bans, and can be activated by using spirit stones without consuming mana... The starting price is two thousand spirit stones. "

The female cultivator in the red dress had a sweet voice and introduced a small crossbow.

The sound clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

"Two thousand one hundred spirit stones!"

"Two thousand five hundred spirit stones!"

Although this is a low-grade spiritual weapon.

But to be able to appear at the auction is indeed considered a high-quality product.

It can be activated without consuming one's own mana, allowing monks in the late stage of Qi refining to use it.

"Two thousand nine hundred spiritual stones."

Lu Changsheng asked a price.

Naturally, he has no use for this spiritual weapon.

However, Lu Miaoge's cultivation at the peak of Qi refining happened to be practicing water-attribute skills, which was very suitable for this crossbow spiritual weapon and could be used for self-defense.

Besides, since I am out for this trip, I naturally have to give some small gifts to my wife, concubines, and children when I get home.

After several offers, Lu Changsheng won it for 3,800 spirit stones.

Not expensive, but not cheap either.

"Guest, this is the spiritual weapon you photographed."

After a while, a maid came to the box through the secret passage carrying a tray.

"Um."

Lu Changsheng picked up the crossbow and played with it briefly.

Knowing that this spiritual weapon is maintained through medium-grade spiritual stones and daily temperature, the Qi Refining cultivator can easily activate it.

If the energy stored inside is used up, it will be much more difficult to activate it.

After he paid the spirit stones, he put away the crossbow.

"Bingxin Dan can assist in breaking through bottlenecks in the practice of ice attribute skills, and has the effect of suppressing inner demons and treating fire attribute injuries. There are ten pills in total, with a starting price of 500 spirit stones for each pill."

The delicate voice of the nun in the red dress continued to spread throughout the auction venue, ringing in everyone's ears.

Lu Changsheng leaned lazily on the soft chair and looked around casually.

Unless there are third-level elixirs or some rare elixirs, he basically has no interest.

"Ah this."

Lu Changsheng, who was looking around boredly, suddenly saw someone in the corner of the first floor.

A monk looked with burning eyes at the female monk in red dress on the stage, doing obscene behavior

"Holy shit."

Lu Changsheng cursed secretly, with an expression on his face like an old man on the subway looking at his phone.

I didn't expect to see such an outrageous scene at the auction.

But this man is really brave and not afraid of death.

You know, the female cultivator in the red dress on the stage is not a vase.

He is a foundation-building monk!

And this person is only in the late stage of Qi refining.

"Maybe this is more exciting."

Lu Changsheng didn't understand what this kind of person was thinking, so he shook his head and quickly looked away, looking at the curvaceous and plump female cultivator in red dress on the high platform.

Auctions are ongoing.

I have to say that the quality of this auction is really good.

Basically, they are rarely seen elixirs, magic weapons, heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and spiritual beast cubs.

In the process, there are also inheritance of some secret techniques and various arts of cultivating immortals.

However, the skills can only reach the advanced level, and the skill inheritance can only reach the top level of the second level.

"It seems that the inheritance of martial arts and advanced skills are severely blocked everywhere and rarely leak out."

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

With items being auctioned one by one.

Finally, an auction item cheered up the lazy Lu Changsheng.

"Purple Thunder Spirit Wood, this spiritual wood is at the third level of middle grade. It can be used as medicine, set up formations, refine spiritual weapons, treasures, or make talisman skins. The starting price is four thousand spiritual stones."

The female cultivator in the red dress had a charming voice and introduced the auction items in detail, adding a bit of color to the boring auction and making it less boring.

"Third-level mid-grade spiritual wood, this auction was not in vain."

Lu Changsheng looked at this piece of spiritual wood and sat up slightly.

The main purpose of his trip to Jiuxiao Immortal City was to purchase more third-level talisman-making materials.

But third-level materials are very rare.

He had traveled almost all over the inner city before and only managed to buy a dozen pieces of third-grade low-grade talisman-making materials and a section of third-grade low-grade spiritual wood.

Now, this third-level mid-grade spiritual wood is made into a talisman skin, which is used to nourish the treasure talisman. It can cultivate a third-level mid-grade spiritual talisman. He is bound to get it.

"Four thousand five hundred spirit stones!"

In the hall on the first floor, a famous foundation-building monk immediately made a bid.

"Five thousand spirit stones!"

"Five thousand one hundred spirit stones!"

"Five thousand three hundred spirit stones!"

"Six thousand spirit stones!"

Seeing that there were fewer bidders, Lu Changsheng also made a bid.

"Six thousand one hundred spirit stones."

In a certain box, a price was shouted.

"Six thousand five hundred spirit stones."

Lu Changsheng continued to bid.

"Six thousand six hundred spirit stones!"

The voice was gritted.

Because the price of third-level mid-grade spiritual wood is five to six thousand spiritual stones.

It's just that this piece of spiritual wood has thunder attributes and is relatively rare, which is just suitable for him to refine a treasure.

"Seven thousand spirit stones!"

Lu Changsheng shouted calmly.

Although the premium is quite high.

But for him, as long as he can make a talisman, everything is worth it.

As soon as this price came out, no one made any more offers for the other boxes.

After all, during the foundation building period, there were really few monks as wealthy as Lu Changsheng.

After a while, a maid brought a piece of purple-grained spiritual wood several feet long.

The spiritual wood is covered with purple thunder and lightning patterns, and a faint spiritual light flows, which is very extraordinary.

"good."

Lu Changsheng looked at the Purple Thunder Spirit Wood with a faint smile on his face.

If the spirit wood is made into a third-level talisman, it can be used to draw some third-level thunder talismans.

After he paid the spirit stones, he continued to look at the items introduced on the high platform.

"The second-level mid-level formation 'Storm of Wind and Fiery Formation', the array disk and the 108 formation flags are all complete. It is easy to operate and can transform violent wind and fire. Even if it is encountered by the foundation-building monks, it is very difficult to deal with. It can be used to guard the cave. Kill monsters, the starting price is five thousand spirit stones."

Lu Changsheng felt good about this array.

However, the coverage range of this formation is too small, only a hundred feet.

It is only suitable for protecting caves and spiritual fields.

It cannot be used as a family formation.

Therefore, he did not participate in the auction.

However, this array was auctioned for a huge sum of nine thousand spirit stones.

“The next step is the finale of our auction.”

After the auction lasted for another half-quarter of an hour, on the high platform, a female cultivator in a red dress took out a blue crystal core and introduced it loudly: "The second-level special demon core can replace the Tianling Fruit and become the auxiliary material of the Foundation Establishment Pill." The price is eight thousand spiritual stones."

"Second-level special demon core!?"

When Lu Changsheng saw this demon core, he raised his brows and showed some interest.

The reason why Foundation Establishment Pills are rare is because the main ingredient, ‘Tianling Fruit’, is too rare.

Except for the 'Purple Nether Secret Realm', which opens every thirty years, there is no fixed output.

The Foundation Establishment Pills that occasionally leaked out of the three major fairy cities, except for those who obtained the Heavenly Spirit Fruit by chance, used the 'second-order special demon core' to replace the Heavenly Spirit Fruit as the main material of the Foundation Establishment Pills.

However, this second-level special demon core is also extremely rare.

First of all, only some very rare and powerful second-level monsters have monster cores.

Like the second-level green wolf that Lu Changsheng killed back then, there was no such thing as a demon core.

Secondly, the energy contained in the demon core for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill should not be too complex or too violent, and must be gentle and pure in nature.

Otherwise, it will conflict with other materials of the Foundation Establishment Pill.

For example, metal, fire, thunder, ice, and multi-attribute demon cores are all ineligible.

Therefore, it is very difficult to obtain this 'special demon core' by hunting monsters.

You must enter the depths of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountains.

But deep in the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, countless monster beasts are entrenched.

There are even third-level great demons and fourth-level demon kings.

Master Jie Dan would have a headache if he went deep into it, and one of them accidentally fell into it.

Therefore, ordinary foundation-building monks and real people who form pills would not go to the depths of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountains to look for special demon cores.

Basically, they are in the outer areas, trying their luck.

Or in other mountain ranges, you may encounter this kind of monster and obtain a special monster core.

"Use the second-level demon core instead of the Tianling Fruit to refine the foundation-building elixir. The elixir recipe and refining techniques only need to be slightly adjusted."

"If I had this second-level special demon core, I could collect the auxiliary materials myself and refine three foundation-building pills."

Lu Changsheng secretly thought, preparing to take a photo of this second-level special demon core.

Although he doesn't need the Foundation Building Pill.

But no one can have too much of a scarce commodity like Foundation Establishment Pill.

Not only for wives, concubines and children.

It can also be used to exchange for rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

In the world of immortal cultivation, Foundation Establishment Pills can be said to be the best hard currency.

"Eight thousand five hundred spiritual stones!" A voice immediately quoted.

"Eight thousand six hundred spirit stones!"

"Eight thousand eight hundred spirit stones!"

Many monks present were interested in this 'second-order special demon core'.

The Qi Refining monk wanted this special demon core and asked someone to refine the Foundation Building Pill.

Foundation-building monks have descendants in their families.

In a short while, the price of this demon core exceeded ten thousand.

"Twelve thousand spirit stones!"

At this time, an old and majestic voice sounded, directly increasing the price by a thousand spiritual stones.

At the same time, a window in this box opened.

People can look through the window and see an old man with gray hair, a Chinese character, and a majestic face inside.

"It turns out to be Master He!"

"I heard that Master He is very good at using demon cores to refine Foundation Establishment Pills. He can at least guarantee that one pill will be completed. Normally, he can have two Foundation Establishment Pills."

"Master He bought this demon core, and at the auction two and a half years later, another Foundation Establishment Pill will be released."

"I've met Master He!"

Many people in the venue looked towards the box and recognized this majestic old man.

Knowing that the other party is a famous alchemy master in Jiuxiaofang City.

This Master He is indeed very popular, and many foundation-building monks have given up fighting for him.

Many people even said hello, planning to visit Master He afterwards, send them supplementary materials, and ask for a Foundation Establishment Pill.

"Thirteen thousand spirit stones!"

But Lu Changsheng didn't care at all. He didn't give Master He face and made an offer.

As soon as this voice came out, everyone else in the venue immediately looked towards the box where Lu Changsheng was.

"Thirteen thousand five hundred spirit stones!"

Master He also looked at the box where Lu Changsheng was sitting, snorted coldly, and increased the price by five hundred spirit stones.

The price of a foundation-building pill is around 20,000 spirit stones.

The price of this crystal core plus accessories is almost 20,000 spirit stones.

If you only refine one Foundation Establishment Pill, there will be no profit at all.

But for alchemists, in many cases, it’s not bad to be able to get back their money.

After all, every time you make an elixir, you also accumulate experience and proficiency.

"Fifteen thousand spirit stones."

Lu Changsheng directly increased the price.

With the second-level alchemy skill at his side, he was confident that he could refine three foundation-building pills.

There is even one top-quality Foundation Establishment Pill among the three Foundation Establishment Pills.

Therefore, he was bound to get this special demon core.

"This fellow Taoist, I am He Mao"

Master He said coldly when he saw Lu Changsheng's offer.

"Why, can the auction venue still be able to overwhelm people with its power?"

Lu Changsheng said calmly.

As soon as these words came out, He Mao's face turned pale.

In this Jiuxiao Immortal City, he is at least a respectable person.

Even if his identity is revealed, the price of this crystal core is almost at its limit.

Unexpectedly, Lu Changsheng did not give him any face.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Sixteen thousand spirit stones!"

"Seventeen thousand spirit stones."

Lu Changsheng said calmly.

"Eighteen thousand spirit stones."

Master He continued to quote.

"Twenty thousand spiritual stones!"

Lu Changsheng said calmly.

Faced with this situation, Master He stopped quoting.

Although he was 50% sure of refining two foundation-building pills.

But the time and effort spent on collecting the auxiliary materials and refining the elixir are not worth the additional price.

Moreover.

Lu Changsheng's offer did not give him face, and made him wary of offending him.

"Hiss, who is this person? He actually spent 20,000 spirit stones to capture this special demon core."

"The price of the Foundation Establishment Pill is only this price. Could it be that this person is also a master of alchemy, or he knows someone who is a master of alchemy."

"How is it possible? Where do so many alchemy masters come from!"

"Yes, there are only so many famous alchemy masters in the fairy city."

"Maybe you just need this special demon core, for example, to help the spiritual beast advance."

In the venue, there was a lot of discussion because of the high price paid for this demon core.

After all, on ordinary days, the price of a special demon core is only fifteen thousand spirit stones at most.

After a while, this second-level special demon core arrived.

After Lu Changsheng checked it, he put it away in a jade box.

Many heavenly and earthly treasures in the world of immortality must be stored in special treasure boxes, otherwise their spiritual energy will be leaked.

After the second-order demon core auction ended, Lu Changsheng had little interest in the next few items, so he did not participate.

In addition, he spent more than 30,000 spirit stones on three items in this auction. With his wealthy appearance, he might be targeted by interested parties.

"Fellow Taoists, now that the auction has ended, the next step is the trade fair, the free trading session."

"Fellow Taoists who are interested can move to the side hall."

The woman in the red dress said, announcing that the auction was over.

When Lu Changsheng heard this, he told the maid at the auction that he wanted to attend the fair.

This is also one of the reasons why he participated in the auction.

In the world of cultivating immortals, many monks obtain rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures and do not like to sell them into spiritual stones.

Instead, they seek what they need by exchanging things for things.

The maid heard this and asked Lu Changsheng if he needed to conceal his identity.

Capes and masks are provided at the venue.

"As expected of a fairy city, it is Zhou Dao."

When Lu Changsheng heard this, he got a cloak and mask.

However, this mask cloak requires three hundred spirit stones.

Lu Changsheng came to the side hall through a secret passage.

As soon as he entered the hall, he noticed that there was some kind of formation here that could affect other people's consciousness.

Combined with the mask and cloak, your identity will basically not be noticed.

However, only half of the people in the side hall hid their identities.

Many people directly and generously reveal their true appearance.

I think these people must have lived in Jiuxiao Immortal City for a long time, or they are not afraid of being stared at.

A quarter of an hour later, after forty or fifty people gathered in the side hall, the trade fair officially began.

The transaction method is very simple. Everyone speaks in turn, showing the resources sold, or indicating what they want to buy.

"The foundation-building spiritual object 'Earth Evil Gang Qi' is replaced with a metallic foundation-building spiritual object. 'Huangyuan Golden Qi' takes priority and can be used to replenish spiritual stones."

"One copy of the exquisite level Qi training method can be exchanged for another copy of the spiritual consciousness method, or the same level of exercises. Of course, if someone comes up with enough spiritual stones, I will sell them."

"Hualong ginseng, a rare second-level elixir, can be used as an auxiliary ingredient for the Foundation Establishment Pill and exchanged for a Youth Pill."

An individual speaks up.

"In this trade fair, I really have some good things in my hands."

Lu Changsheng looked at these people and thought to himself.

For example, the 'Hualong Ginseng' seems good to him. It is one of the main auxiliary ingredients of the Foundation Establishment Pill. He will ask the other party later if he is willing to sell the spiritual stone.

At this moment, a woman in a blue dress spoke.

"Inheritance of quasi-third-level formations, a set of tools for inverting the Five Elements Formation and Forbidden Techniques, or you can arrange second-level formations for people, exchange them for yin-cold elixirs, heavenly materials, and earthly treasures, as much as you want."
