Chapter 178: Golden Branches and Jade Leaves
"This purple flower is in perfect condition. An experienced third-level alchemist can refine three purple pills. The starting price is 200,000 spirit stones, and each bid cannot be less than 10,000 spirit stones."
Perhaps to prevent Fang Chen from bidding 100 spirit stones at a time, Tianxiang set the bid limit at 10,000 spirit stones this time.
However, Fang Chen didn't care about these things. After all, he would never participate in this auction.
This also led to the fact that he and Long Jia were the only two people in all the boxes who did not bid, while the other boxes were in fierce competition.
Including the so-called Blood Demon Palace's shill.
It was boring to stay in the box. Thinking that he was now an incarnation, Fang Chen walked out of his box and planned to meet Long Jia.
He walked to the door of the other party's box and knocked very politely.
"Who?"
Long Jia asked from the box.
"Senior, Fang Chen from Yuehua Xiancheng, I'm here to visit you."
Fang Chen also openly stated his identity.
"Oh? You are such a coward, but you also came to Xingyue Sea?"
Long Jia was very surprised when he heard that it was Fang Chen.
He still remembered how the other party was guarding against him when he went to visit Yuehua Xiancheng.
I didn't expect that he would dare to come to Xingyue Sea, a dangerous place, alone. It was really not something he would do.
Although he was surprised, Long Jia still opened the door of the box and let Fang Chen in.
"Good boy, it turns out that you have controlled something like an incarnation. I thought you were just getting bolder!"
Long Jia waved his hand to block out the sound in the box, and then looked at Fang Chen, and saw the clue at a glance.
"I came here to inquire about the news of the Demon Cultivation Alliance. If they go to war with the righteous immortal gate, Yuehua Xiancheng will bear the brunt, and I have to be prepared."
The seat in the box is a large sofa-like seat. Fang Chen sat opposite Long Jia, straightened his back, and told his plan.
As for joining the Demon Cultivation Alliance, he did not mention it.
"It is indeed necessary to do this. Within five years, the Demon Cultivation Alliance will inevitably attack the Righteous Immortal Sect, and no one will be able to stay out of it."
Long Jia also agreed with Fang Chen's approach, and then jokingly added: "It is a good opportunity for the Immortal Dynasty. The power of the Demon Cultivation Alliance and the Righteous Immortal Sect has been weakened, and the Immortal Dynasty can take advantage of the situation to re-unify the cultivation world."
"Hahaha, then I will take advantage of your good words."
Fang Chen laughed a few times and continued with the joke.
Then he talked about business again: "Speaking of which, how did you know that the person in box six was a shill of the Blood Demon Palace?"
"Hahaha..."
Long Jia did not answer directly, but laughed up to the sky.
After he had laughed enough, he gave an answer: "Of course he is not a stooge. He is an alchemist of the Blood Demon Palace. The Blood Demon Palace naturally has the foundation-building pill recipe, but he does not want others to know his alchemy level, so he wants to buy the foundation-building pill recipe outside."
"But in this case, why would the auction judge that he is a stooge?"
Fang Chen continued to ask in confusion.
"It's very simple, because the Jindan cultivator guarding this island can't beat me, and the person in box six is indeed a disciple of the Blood Demon Palace and an alchemist. If he says in the end that he is not a stooge, I and the others present will not be convinced."
Long Jia pointed at himself and explained proudly.
"To suppress people by force?"
Fang Chen seemed to understand that this was indeed a method that only Long Jia could use.
He has the power to change all the rules on this island, so naturally, what he says is what it is, and no one can refute it.
"That's right, so you should focus on improving your strength. The Immortal Dynasty is a thing of the past. No matter how many ants you cultivate, it's useless."
Long Jia leaned back and taught Fang Chen earnestly.
"Junior, I'm grateful for your advice."
Fang Chen didn't say anything. His main focus was indeed on improving his strength. Even now, his main body was meditating in the training field.
It was just that Long Jia's words suddenly gave him a new idea. He kept it in mind and asked another question: "Senior Long Jia, the names of the nine seas in the Xingyue Sea all contain the word "moon". Could it be related to the Moon God Palace?"
After saying this, he stared at Long Jia's expression.
The main reason was that he felt that Long Jia would not reveal any useful information, and he could only guess from his expression whether there was any connection.
However, to his surprise, Long Jia nodded, and then said: "This is also something I care about very much. The shadow of the Moon Palace is everywhere in the Demon Cultivation Alliance. It seems that it was founded by some people from the Moon Palace. But the people of the Moon Palace are not so unscrupulous."
Speaking of this, Long Jia showed a nostalgic look, and after a moment, he sighed again.
He then continued: "Of course, it is also possible that during the years I was asleep, some people's personalities have undergone tremendous changes. I am also secretly investigating who is behind the Demon Cultivation Alliance."
"I see."
Fang Chen nodded. Long Jia's words confirmed that Xingyuehai and the Moon Palace were connected, but he didn't know the specific reason.
"I almost forgot, you are the person in Box No. 3, you can actually take out 400,000 spirit stones, your financial resources cannot be underestimated."
Long Jia quickly adjusted his state, crossed his legs, and talked about Fang Chen's auction of the foundation-building pill recipe.
"Hey, I only have about 100,000 spiritual stones on me. I saw Daoyou Wang and Dian Chu below, and I thought that after bidding for the recipe, I would collect spiritual stones with them. The alchemist of the Blood Demon Palace is the real rich one."
Fang Chen did not reveal that he brought the purple flower that was being auctioned, but just told the original plan.
"That man is a genius in alchemy. He became a second-level lower-grade alchemist after completing the Qi training. He usually sells pills and makes a lot of money."
Long Jia obviously knew the person in the box very well, otherwise he would not have slandered him as a child of the Blood Demon Palace at the beginning.
"No wonder he is still participating in the auction of purple flowers. It is probably to prepare for the future."
Fang Chen remembered this person in his heart, then turned his head and looked through the box to the auction table below.
At this time, the auction of purple flowers has reached a fever pitch.
Although the sound was blocked by Long Jia, it can be seen from the actions and expressions below.
Seeing Fang Chen start to watch the auction, Long Jia simply removed the sound insulation, and Tian Xiang's voice immediately poured in.
"800,000 spirit stones for the third time, sold. Congratulations to the fellow Taoist in Box 6 for successfully bidding on this Purple Extreme Flower."
When Tianxiang said the words "Box 6", she emphasized her tone. All the cultivators present were smart people, so they could naturally hear the hidden meaning in it.
Considering that the people in Box 6 could continue to bid and participate in the auction, most people also understood that this person was not a shill at all.
But due to the strength of the Jindan cultivator, no one dared to say anything.
"Fellow Taoists, there is only one treasure left in our auction this time."
As soon as Tianxiang finished speaking, a maid came up from the stage with a tray, which was covered with red cloth like the Purple Extreme Flower.
Tianxiang lifted the red cloth, and before she could introduce it to the people present, Longjia in the box had already said the name of the treasure.
"Golden branches and jade leaves, this Demon Cultivation Alliance is really willing to spend."
