Chapter 217 The Auction Begins

When Lu Chengan and the Jindan cultivator complete a transaction, they need to pay a handling fee of 500 spiritual stones each, and the other party also needs to pay 500 spiritual stones.

This means that every time two Jindan cultivators complete a transaction, Jin Gu Zhenren can gain 1,000 spiritual stones.

Don't underestimate this number. If all Jindan cultivators have traded with many Jindan cultivators like Lu Chengan, Lu Chengan alone will need to pay nearly 10,000 spiritual stones.

After Lu Chengan completed all transactions with other Jindan cultivators, Gu Hong Zhenren hurried back, fearing that Lu Chengan would leave suddenly.

Gu Hong Zhenren brought two third-level upper-grade spiritual flames and a third-level top-grade fire evil. The value of these three spiritual materials is comparable to the value of the Hanyue Shensha.

After Lu Chengan completed the transaction with Gu Hong Zhenren, he did not stay in Jin Gu Zhai for long. He and Shi Ningyu left Jin Gu Zhai quickly.

"We have made a big splash at the trade fair this time, and many Jindan cultivators have been eyeing us. We need to get rid of them as soon as possible!"

Lu Chengan secretly communicated with Shi Ningyu, and the distance between him and Shi Ningyu gradually widened. At the same time, the two of them secretly performed the small magical power of small shape-changing technique, slowly changing their breath, body shape and facial features.

Lu Chengan and the other person have cultivated the small magical power of small shape-changing technique to the great success level. Unless they are cultivators above the Nascent Soul level, they can't see through their details at all.

Even though it is late at night, there are still a lot of people in the Poison Swamp Immortal City.

After Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu separated, they mixed into the crowd. Relying on the small magical power of small shape-changing technique, they quickly avoided the cultivators who were tracking them.

Soon after, Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu returned to the cave they rented, but it was no longer the cave they rented before.

The two of them were well prepared when they entered the Poison Swamp Immortal City. They rented three temporary caves in different locations in the Poison Swamp Immortal City, just to deal with the current situation.

"There are really few kind-hearted Jindan cultivators in this Poison Swamp Immortal City. The spiritual materials traded with them all have tracking methods left by them!" Lu Chengan said angrily.

"Have all the tracking methods they left been resolved?" Shi Ningyu asked with a frown.

"I put all those materials into the Cangqiong Palace, which is enough to isolate all of them from tracking, but Gu Hong and Jin Gu also left tracking methods on me. I spent some effort to resolve them, which delayed a lot of time!"

These two people are Jindan cultivators who have lived in the Poison Swamp Immortal City for a long time, so they are naturally not good people.

Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu only have the cultivation of the early Jindan stage, and showing so much wealth naturally makes them very excited.

It's a pity that they don't know the strength of Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu. Although the tracking items they left on Lu Chengan are extremely secretive, they were immediately noticed by Lu Chengan.

This kind of tracking object is usually a kind of spiritual mark. If it is other means, Lu Chengan may not be able to dissolve it easily, but dissolving the spiritual mark is relatively simple for him.

Although he and Shi Ningyu are in the early stage of Jindan, their spiritual power is stronger than many cultivators in the middle stage of Jindan.

It didn't take Lu Chengan long to dissolve the spiritual mark left by Jin Gu Zhenren. However, the difference between Gu Hong Zhenren's cultivation and Lu Chengan was too big, and Lu Chengan spent a lot of effort to dissolve the spiritual mark left by him.

This experience also gave Lu Chengan a sense of urgency. When he bought the treasure that nourishes the soul at the auction half a month later, he immediately began to practice the soul secret art of the Great Sun Soul Refining Art.

The soul secret art of the Great Sun Soul Refining Art is much more powerful than the Xu Yang Soul Strengthening Art. It can make the soul grow rapidly.

It's just that the practice process is relatively dangerous, so Lu Chengan has not started to practice this soul secret art until now.

"We have gained a lot this time, but we are still short of a lot of materials. We will continue to participate in the trade fair between Jindan monks in Poison Swamp Immortal City, but we need to act separately in the next trade fair. The target for us two together is a bit too big!" Lu Chengan said in a deep voice.

There are many Jindan monks in Poison Swamp Immortal City, but there are not many couples who are both Jindan monks.

Fortunately, they have cultivated the small shape-changing technique to the great success level, so even if they change to the opposite gender, other monks can hardly see it.

But to be on the safe side, it is better for them to act alone, so that the target will be relatively smaller.

Shi Ningyu naturally has no objection.

After discussing, Lu Chengan and the others sorted out their gains at the trade fair, and then left the cave separately and began to look for new underground trade fairs to participate in.

The Jindan monks who held the trade fair in Poison Swamp Immortal City hope that more Jindan monks will participate in the underground trade fair they held, so that they can bring them more income.

Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu were both Jindan-level cultivators. They didn't even need to ask for it. After they showed their Jindan-level cultivation, the cultivators who held the underground trade fairs would take the initiative to invite them.

Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu did not refuse this invitation. During the period when the large-scale auction in the Poison Swamp Immortal City began, they participated in nearly ten trade fairs.

This brought them a lot of gains. The materials needed to refine magic weapons and practice minor supernatural powers have basically been collected.

During this period, they also used the small shape-changing technique to change nearly ten identities without revealing their true identities.

Half a month passed in a flash, and soon there was less than a day left before the large auction of the Poison Swamp Immortal City began.

At this time, Lu Cheng'an and Shi Ningyu both received invitations to participate in the auction, and the invitations also included various auction items that would appear in this auction.

The several materials they lacked would appear at the auction, and these were all materials for refining magic weapons.

Although relatively rare, the grade was not high, and their starting prices were relatively low.

"This auction in the Poison Swamp Immortal City will auction more than a dozen foundation-building spiritual objects. Should we take action on these foundation-building spiritual objects?" Lu Cheng'an asked with a frown.

They just got a lot of five-element spiritual fruits, and now the Lu family and Dan Ding Sect are not short of foundation-building spiritual objects.

But the Lu family and Dan Ding Sect will definitely flourish in the future, and the demand for foundation-building spiritual objects will be great.

At most ten years, those foundation-building spiritual objects will be completely exhausted.

The third-level medium-quality five-element spirit fruit tree has now been successfully transplanted to Chiyan Mountain. Although it survived successfully, it also lost a lot of vitality and needs several years to recover.

This third-level medium-quality five-element spirit fruit tree needs thirty years before new five-element spirit fruits mature, and the Lu family and Danding Sect certainly can't wait that long.

Now there will be more than a dozen foundation-building spirit objects at the auction in the Poison Swamp Immortal City, which is an opportunity for them.

Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu are both Jindan realm cultivators. If they bid for a few foundation-building spirit objects, it will not attract the attention of other Jindan cultivators.

"Then we will each bid for two foundation-building spirit objects!" Shi Ningyu said.

There must be many Jindan cultivators in the Poison Swamp Immortal City who are interested in those foundation-building spirit objects. They have to stop bidding for two foundation-building spirit objects at most, otherwise it may cause dissatisfaction among other Jindan cultivators.

Before the auction began, Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu discussed carefully. After they decided on the items to be auctioned at the auction, they left the cave and went to another cave he rented.

One day passed in a flash, and the large auction held every six months in the Poison Swamp Immortal City was held as scheduled.

The auction venue in the Poison Swamp Immortal City was very large. It was a circular auction venue that could accommodate thousands of people.

The circular center of the auction venue was the auction table, and rows of seats surrounded the auction table.

Above these uncovered seats, there were closed rooms. These rooms were also auction venues. Cultivators could have an overview of the entire auction venue in the room, which was the best position in the entire auction venue.

Only cultivators in the Jindan realm could enter these rooms, and they had to be Jindan cultivators with sufficient wealth.

Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu both met these conditions. They were now extremely wealthy, even though they had spent a lot of resources in the previous underground trade fair.

However, these were all what they got from Ding Heng and the other six Jindan bandit cultivators, and now they still had a lot of things left to sell.

After Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu entered the auction house, they were led into their respective rooms by the foundation-building attendants of the auction house.

This time, Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu still acted separately.

The room was not very large, but the internal structure was quite oppressive, with spiritual tea and spiritual fruits placed inside.

The attendant did not leave the room, but continued to serve in the room.

Lu Chengan did not wait too long after entering the room. After only a moment, a middle-aged man in a gray-white robe appeared on the auction table in the center of the auction house.

The middle-aged man had a slender body and looked very thin, but his cultivation was at the Jindan Perfection Realm.

"Thank you all for coming to participate in this auction. I am Li Yufan, known as the Thousand Poisons True Man!"

The middle-aged man smiled and introduced himself first.

After Lu Chengan knew that this person was the master of the Poison Swamp Immortal City, Qian Du Zhenren, his face suddenly showed a touch of surprise, and then his eyes fell on Qian Du Zhenren involuntarily.

There are many Jindan cultivators in the Poison Swamp Immortal City who are like Lu Chengan. They have only heard of Qian Du Zhenren's name, but have never actually seen Qian Du Zhenren.

At the auction, Qian Du Zhenren introduced himself and then introduced the rules of the auction very seriously.

One point emphasized was fair competition, and you cannot use force to suppress others, otherwise you will be personally liquidated by him.

Although Qian Du Zhenren's cultivation is at the Jindan Perfection Realm, in the Poison Swamp Immortal City, he can exert a combat power that is not weaker than that of a cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul.

Therefore, his words are very important, and he is also an extremely ruthless person.

If a cultivator dares to openly violate the rules of the auction, he will really kill him!

After introducing the rules of the auction, Qian Du Zhenren did not delay any more time and directly took out the first item of the auction.

"The first item of this auction is the third-level lower-grade Jindan. I believe that many Taoist friends are here for this item. The starting price is 100,000 spirit stones, and each bid is no less than 1,000 spirit stones. The bidding starts now!"

The moment the voice of Qian Du Zhenren fell, the auction hall was filled with bidding sounds.

Because Qian Du Zhenren was right, many of the cultivators who came to the auction this time came for the Jindan spirit items.

However, the ones bidding now are all the cultivators in the foundation-building realm sitting outside. The Jindan cultivators who are interested in this Jindan have not yet opened their mouths to bid.

The Jindan spiritual object is very likely to create a Jindan realm cultivator, so its value can be seen.

Therefore, in less than a moment, the price of the Jindan soared from the reserve price of 100,000 spiritual stones to 200,000, which doubled.

At this time, the bidding of the foundation-building cultivators outside the auction hall decreased a lot, and it was not until this time that the Jindan cultivators began to exert their strength.

The wealth of the Jindan cultivators is much richer than that of the foundation-building cultivators. The first Jindan cultivator who bid directly increased the price by 10,000 spiritual stones on the original basis.

However, this can only scare off the cultivators in the foundation-building realm, but not the cultivators in the same Jindan realm.

After the Jindan cultivators participated in the auction, they quickly raised the price of the Jindan from 200,000 spiritual stones to 300,000, and the final transaction price was 340,000!

Lu Chengan was slightly surprised. He did not expect that the Jindan would be auctioned at such a high price.

If he hadn't obtained the Jindan spiritual object with the help of Shi Ningyu when he broke through, it would have been impossible for the Lu family to help him purchase the Jindan spiritual object given their situation!

The first Jindan instantly set off the entire auction, and after the auction of the Jindan was over, Qiandu Zhenren immediately took out the second auction item.

It was a third-grade superior defense magic weapon, which was also an extremely precious treasure!

After Lu Chengan and Shi Ningyu broke through to the Jindan realm, they had never worried about third-grade magic weapons, but that was because they had a better chance.

But for most Jindan cultivators, they were very short of third-grade magic weapons, especially third-grade defense magic weapons.

Therefore, after Qiandu Zhenren took out the third-grade superior defense, it immediately attracted the attention of all the Jindan cultivators in the auction.

The value of the third-grade superior defense magic weapon was also very high, and its starting price was as high as 150,000 spirit stones. When the auction was over, the transaction price rose to 480,000 spirit stones, which was more than 100,000 spirit stones more than that of the Jindan.

After seeing this, Lu Chengan felt quite tempted, but he did not think that his previous decision was wrong, and he did not sell the extra third-level magic weapons in the Poison Swamp Immortal City.

This decision was contrary to their thoughts before entering the Poison Swamp Immortal City. He made such a decision now because he saw the danger of the Poison Swamp Immortal City.

If he took out so many third-level magic weapons at once, he would definitely not be able to leave the Poison Swamp Immortal City smoothly.
