Chapter 183 Auction
Since he exchanged for the Xiantian Yiqi Sword Art and other skills and bought the Golden Scale Sword, Chu Chen no longer lacked skills for cultivation and magic weapons for fighting with others.
He only lacked a defensive magic weapon and a flying magic weapon for traveling.
Needless to say, defensive magic weapons, whether it is the Golden Scale Sword or the Qingtian Sense Spirit Mirror, are both magic weapons for power and do not have defensive functions.
But defensive magic weapons are not urgently needed. Chu Chen practiced the Five Elements Spirit Shield Technique, which also has defensive capabilities.
After practicing for more than ten years, Chu Chen had already practiced the Five Elements Spirit Shield Technique to the small success stage. With his cultivation, the Five Elements Spirit Shield Technique is enough to block the full force attack of ordinary mid-stage foundation building real people.
In addition, Chu Chen broke through the level of the small success of the treasure body, and his physical body was strong, with stronger resistance to injury.
Chu Chen's current physical fitness, not to mention that he can withstand the bombardment of high-grade magic weapons, but some foundation building spells can be immune to most of the damage.
Therefore.
Chu Chen's demand for defensive magic weapons is not very strong. It is best to have it, but it will not have much impact if he does not have it.
The same is true for flying magic tools used for traveling. The Golden Scale Sword can also be used for traveling, but it cannot use spirit stones to replace the mana consumption of cultivators like flying magic tools.
In addition, if Chu Chen wants to buy defensive magic tools and flying magic tools, he only needs to save up enough spirit stones and go to the Wanbao Pavilion in Canglan Market to buy them. He does not need to participate in the auction.
The magic tools at the auction may be better than those at the Wanbao Pavilion.
But correspondingly, the price will be much more expensive.
If someone bids maliciously, it is likely to cost more spirit stones.
As for the spiritual medicines that may appear at the auction, Chu Chen is not very interested.
For spiritual medicines such as purple jade horse, he bought a batch of seeds and planted them. He only needs to wait for them to mature and then he can refine the Qi-combining pills without going to the auction to buy them.
"Besides, it is nothing to buy things at the auction. It is a skill to hold them firmly."
Chu Chen's mind is as clear as a mirror.
According to the routine of the novels in the previous life, an auction with the participation of the child of destiny will probably turn into a bloody storm in the end.
"Practice with peace of mind. These things have nothing to do with me."
If a cultivator has been unable to break through for a long time or is about to die, he may be keen on these things. Once he succeeds, his wealth will skyrocket, and he may be able to break through to a new realm.
In a sense, this is a gamble. If you win, there is no need to say more, but if you lose, you may lose your life.
It is better for him not to participate in such things.
After all.
If you don't gamble, you won't lose.
Chu Chen has endless time, and he can slowly accumulate wealth and break through the realm.
Why take risks?
Chu Chen refused Lin Fan's invitation on the grounds of alchemy.
After that, several Yunshui Sect real people sent invitations, including Han Yuanhao, and he refused them one by one.
Since Chu Chen showed the ability of a second-grade alchemist, his status in Yunshui Sect has risen a lot, and he has been wooed by both the loose cultivators and the direct sects.
Chu Chen did not agree and politely refused.
"However, the matter of alchemy for others can be put on the agenda."
Chu Chen's heart moved.
Han Yuanhao and others naturally wanted him to help refine pills.
This is a good thing for Chu Chen.
Generally speaking, when cultivators ask alchemists to refine pills, they will prepare two or more spiritual medicines.
If you want to refine 100 bottles of Heqi Dan, you will at least prepare spiritual medicines that can refine more than 200 bottles of Heqi Dan. This is because of the success rate of alchemy.
The success rate of ordinary alchemists is about 30% to 40%. If you can reach a success rate of 50%, you are considered to be proficient in refining this kind of pill.
Chu Chen has the help of the dream world and has pushed the success rate of Heqi Dan to 80%. Of course, he claims that his success rate is only about 40%.
Among the three second-grade alchemists in Yunshui Sect, Chu Chen has the highest success rate for the Heqi Dan.
The other two are not proficient in refining Heqi Dan, and their success rates are not as good as Chu Chen.
So if someone wants to refine Heqi Dan, they will naturally think of Chu Chen first.
After a while, there is a price difference of double, and you have to pay the alchemist for asking someone to make pills.
"This business is good."
Chu Chen was in a good mood. With this business, why would he need to fight with others?
He also had this consideration when he exposed his identity as a second-grade alchemist.
After twenty years of working for nothing and regaining his freedom, Chu Chen acted a little bolder. Exposing some of his own methods did not harm him, but rather benefited him.
Besides, after all these years of operation, Chu Chen has created a persona that does not like to socialize, only wants to practice hard, but has low talent for practice.
Now he just adds a persona that is good at refining Qi-combining pills.
Although it will attract some attention now, no one should pay too much attention to him after a while.
After all, he is just an alchemist, not a cultivator with a high level of cultivation and good at fighting.
It is also because Chu Chen has the Phantom Spirit Technique that can hide his own cultivation, not revealing his true strength, and not showing his cultivation of body refining and foundation building.
Otherwise, even if Chu Chen is aloof, he will still be visited by others.
His status as a sword cultivator in the early stage of foundation building is neither high nor low, so no one will offend him, nor will it be too conspicuous to attract others' fear.
"Wait for a while, and then you can release the news of helping others to refine pills."
Chu Chen is a patient person, and he habitually waits for a while to see the situation of the auction before making a decision.
If the situation is not right, don't say anything about helping others to refine pills, it's better to run away as soon as possible.
A month passed quickly, and the auction in Chiyanfang City was held smoothly.
But as Chu Chen expected, this auction was not peaceful.
First, someone auctioned the foundation-building pill, which attracted countless Qi-training cultivators to compete for it, and finally sold it for a sky-high price of 700,000 low-grade spirit stones.
The foundation-building pill was priced at 500,000 low-grade spirit stones by Yunshui Sect, but it had to be bought from Yunshui Sect.
Occasionally, a foundation-building pill would be lost, and it would instantly attract countless Qi-training cultivators to compete for it.
"Outrageous!"
Chu Chen looked at the information in his hand and was dumbfounded.
700,000 low-grade spirit stones, converted, are roughly equivalent to 7,000 medium-grade spirit stones, enough to buy a good top-grade magic weapon, but it was used to buy a foundation-building pill.
It has to be said that these Qi-training cultivators are really rich.
Of course.
The cultivator who bought this foundation-building pill was not a Qi-training casual cultivator, but a Qi-training family called Baiyu Chen Family.
Unless they have great luck and have inherited the legacy of their predecessors, it is impossible for a casual Qi-training cultivator to save so many spirit stones.
Only those Qi-training families that have been passed down for generations, with the combined strength of the entire family, can possibly come up with 600,000 low-grade spirit stones.
After the cultivators of the Baiyu Chen family bid for the foundation-building pill, the matter did not end. When escorting the foundation-building pill back to the family, they were robbed and killed by dozens of evil cultivators.
"The Three Evils of Yanshan, the Old Monster of Guigu, Dugu Qiu..."
Chu Chen glanced at them and saw that these were all well-known Qi-training evil cultivators, most of whom were on the Yunshui Sect's Demon-Slaying Order.
These evil cultivators basically have the cultivation of the twelfth level of Qi training, and are only one step away from the foundation-building stage. How can the cultivators of the Baiyu Chen family resist them? They were easily killed.
But these evil cultivators were killed by Lin Fan and others who came later.
