Volume 1 Chapter 37: The Fan of Immortality
Chapter 37: Longevity Fan
On the third day of the auction, the servo disciple put out a herb, Poria cocos with a three-thousand-year medicinal effect. The people in the field were interested again. It was definitely a good thing for advancement. If it was refined into an advanced pill, it would at least have an advanced medicinal effect above the high-level foundation-building stage. If the cultivation method was appropriate, it might have the effect of the Dan-forming stage.
Zhenyi grabbed Zhenkong's arm and said nervously, "I must have this." Zhenkong and the others agreed, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you." Zhang Pa looked at the nervous look of his uncle and looked at the Poria cocos. It was only three thousand years old. He didn't know how many tens of thousands of years old Ganoderma lucidum herbs were in his jade box. There were really not many thousand-year-old herbs, and most of them were precious medicinal materials, such as snow lotus Ganoderma lucidum. Poria cocos was an ordinary herb. The Poria cocos on the stage was better in age. It was three thousand years old, so it was slightly expensive.
The servo disciple said, "Three thousand years of Poria cocos, one, starting price of 15,000 spirit stones." As soon as the voice fell, someone shouted 30,000 spirit stones, and immediately someone else raised it to 35,000 spirit stones. After several rounds of reincarnation, it has risen to 82,000 spirit stones. Before Zhenyi had time to bid, the price was already ridiculously high, and he cursed inwardly.
Zhenkong looked at Zhenhuan and Zhenmu, and said to Zhenyi: "Brother, should we bid?" Zhenyi hesitated. It was only more than 80,000 spirit stones now, how much higher would it go later? But if he didn't bid, he would be reluctant. Whether he could form a pill again depended entirely on whether there were high-level herbs or high-level demon pills. Now this three-thousand-year-old Poria cocos...
Zhenkong saw his hesitation, smiled indifferently, raised his hand and shouted: "One hundred thousand spirit stones."
Generally speaking, ordinary herbs with three-thousand-year medicinal effects are barely worth the money if they are sold for one hundred thousand spirit stones. But what if the refining fails to buy an ordinary herb for one hundred thousand? So after Zhenkong offered one hundred thousand spirit stones, there was silence in the field, and no one raised their hands to bid. Taoist Zhenyi showed joy on his face, but his joy did not last long, and someone offered another one hundred thousand and one hundred thousand spirit stones. Zhenkong then raised his hand and bid: "One hundred and five thousand spirit stones."
Obviously, the bidder was also determined to get Fuling, and followed up with a bid: "One hundred and sixty thousand spirit stones." Zhenkong's expression remained unchanged, and he continued to shout out a high price of 110,000 spirit stones.
The starting price was 15,000 spirit stones, and the price reached 110,000 spirit stones. People in the field began to whisper, and many people turned back to see which sucker made a random bid. With 110,000 spirit stones, if you are lucky, you can buy a refined advanced pill, and maybe you will have more, but some people use it to buy herbs, and they don't know if they can successfully refine the pill. The higher the level of the pill, the more difficult it is to refine, the greater the probability of failure, and the higher the risk. Most immortal cultivators would rather buy finished pills at a high price than try to refine them. If they fail, they will lose everything, so it is better to spend more money for safety. Moreover, even if you take the advanced pill, you may not be able to successfully advance.
110,000 spirit stones are obviously much more valuable than 3,000-year-old Fuling, and the bidding opponent stopped talking and hesitated. Zhenyi was also a little anxious: "Zhenkong, this, this, is obviously too expensive. If that person bids again, we won't buy it." Zhenkong smiled and said, "Brother, you can earn more spirit stones if you lose them, but it's not easy to get three thousand years of herbs. You also know the principle of losing opportunities and never coming back. After bidding for the Poria cocos, go back and ask Master Tieguan Zhenren to help you refine it. With Master's methods, it shouldn't fail."
The super high price of 110,000 spirit stones finally scared off other bidders and successfully bought the three thousand years of Poria cocos. The servo disciple put the Poria cocos into the jade box, and then held the jade box towards Zhenkong. The crowd on the scene looked sideways, all turned back to look at this sucker, and some sighed: "He is really rich, but he can't spend money like this."
Zhenkong took out the storage bag, pointed out eleven third-grade spirit stones, handed them to the servo disciple, and then took the three thousand years of Poria cocos and handed it to Zhenyi. Zhenyi held the Poria cocos and whispered, "Thank you." Zhenkong smiled and said, "You're welcome, aren't you?" Zhenyi put away the Poria cocos and took out all the spiritual stones on his body, about 60,000 or 70,000, and gave them all to Zhenkong. Zhenkong did not refuse and put them in the storage bag.
Everyone was wearing masks, and their facial expressions could not be seen. Zhang Pa was a little moved. Lin Sen said that cultivators are the most selfish. When Zhang Pa was on Tianlei Mountain, the situation was roughly the same. But why was Uncle Zhenkong so kind? During the auction, he wanted to interrupt Zhenkong several times and let him stop bidding. He had advanced pills to give them, but he was born timid and always worried that taking out the advanced pills would bring a lot of unnecessary troubles, or even life-threatening, so he never dared to speak.
He was thinking about something, Zhenkong asked him: "What do you like?" Zhang Pa replied: "No." Zhenkong thought for a moment and knew that he was afraid of spending his own money, so he said softly: "It's okay if you don't like it. The auction is over, and the market will still be open. Things that can't be sold at the auction will be taken to the market. I'll accompany you tomorrow."
Zhang Pa was very moved. Uncle Zhenkong is really nice!
The auction continued, and three items were auctioned off in succession until it was almost over. Any item was much more valuable than the thousand-year-old Poria cocos. The first of the three auction items was two advanced pills, which were refined advanced pills that could be upgraded from the initial stage of the Jindan period to the middle stage. All the Jindan masters in the field were moved, and the bids could only be described as crazy. In the end, they were sold at 900,000 and 980,000 spirit stones respectively.
Seeing the advanced pill, Zhenyi felt embarrassed and apologized to Zhenkong: "If I hadn't used your money, you could have bid." Zhenkong didn't seem to care, and laughed: "Even if I didn't spend the 110,000, I wouldn't have enough money. This is better, less trouble." The more he said this, the more Zhang Pa admired and liked him. Who doesn't like a good person?
The second auction item was a magic weapon, a emerald jade fan. It was placed on the display stand, without any aura. The masters below the stage manipulated their souls to explore, but no matter how hard they tried, they could only touch a ball of green. The servo disciple picked up the jade fan and waved it lightly. The spacious auction hall suddenly made people feel green and infinite life. The servo disciple introduced: "Magic weapon Changsheng Fan, wood attribute spiritual weapon." Only five words, the five words of wood attribute spiritual weapon were enough to alarm everyone in the hall.
Single-attribute magic weapons are the most difficult to refine. Wood cannot be refined, and water cannot be refined. There must be a carrier that can carry the five elements of spiritual energy to refine magic weapons. Zhang Pa can use single-attribute spells, such as Thousand Walls of Rage, but if there is a single fire attribute spiritual weapon, the power of his Thousand Walls of Rage must be at least dozens of times larger. The biggest function of a single-attribute spiritual weapon is to increase the power of the corresponding attribute spell. Such things are of course expensive.
As soon as the servant disciple said the five words "wood attribute spiritual weapon", the audience was already buzzing with discussion. Most people had the same idea that it must be a prodigal son from a family who came to ruin the family again, and wasted the magic weapon left by the ancestors. What a bastard and unfilial descendant!
Treasures like the Changsheng Fan are hard to come by, and are much more expensive than the two Jindan stage advanced pills just now.
It is difficult for cultivators to get angry because of things that are not their own. At this moment, some people have begun to call the fan seller a bastard, and they are very eager to teach him a lesson on behalf of their ancestors. As soon as this treasure appeared, Zhenkong and the others realized that it was not good. Zhenkong said, "Someone will definitely die at this auction." Several people nodded, and Zhenyi said, "Leave early after the auction to avoid getting into trouble." Zhenmu sighed, "Every time there is a good thing at an auction, there will be a fight after the auction." Zhenhuan laughed and said, "It's okay if they find the right person. Most of them kill the wrong person. They can't cultivate immortality, and they are not professional robbers. These people, alas."
Discussion and auction are not delayed at the same time. They discuss their own things, and the auction proceeds normally. While talking, the price of the Changsheng Fan easily broke through the million mark. After a few more words, the price was bid over two million. In the end, it was bought for three million spirit stones. It's not that the Changsheng Fan is only worth three million spirit stones, but that no one in the field can afford more spirit stones. Three million spirit stones, what a terrifying number! Spirit stones are divided into five grades according to the level of spiritual energy. Normal transactions use the cheapest first-grade spirit stones, and the calculation unit is also based on the first-grade spirit stones. Above the first grade is the second grade, and so on until the highest grade five spirit stones. Three million first grade spirit stones are equal to thirty thousand second grade spirit stones, equal to three hundred third grade spirit stones, equal to three fourth grade spirit stones.
Zhenmu watched the servant disciple hand the longevity fan to a person in the field. The man took the longevity fan, got up and left the tent without saying a word, and then performed his skills to escape. Zhang Pa was also watching and sent his spiritual sense to the man, but he could no longer sense the breath of the man after he left the tent. He was surprised that this man was too powerful. At this time, Zhenmu said: "Same as always, to conceal the spiritual sense, this broken tent is still useful." Zhenhuan smiled and said: "Stop talking nonsense."
