Chapter 302: Ancient Field Auction
Chapter 302 - Ancient Field Auction
Lu Chang'an resided behind the scenes, supporting the Star Moon Chamber of Commerce, swaying the pattern of the Oasis, and hibernating comfortably in cultivation.
If you sleep on the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore?
If Fang Zhen were to target the descendants of Lord Li Huo's branch in the Oasis, it would destroy Lu Chang'an's cultivation plan.
Either run away or eliminate this person.
Inside the manor, the black-robed young man is impacting the important node of conjugating dan, and Elder Duan is in charge of escorting the law, unaware of the potential threats that are tracking him.
The clouds above the Nine Gangs Sky.
The thick-browed, country-faced, iron-clad middle-aged man's gaze is cloudy, the surrounding astral winds do not invade, and the air is inexplicably oppressive.
"The time is not yet ripe."
"On this large oasis, True Dan forces cannot be underestimated. The descendants of Lord Li Huo who remain here may not be the only True Dan cultivator, Duan Zhengyu."
Thinking for a moment, Fang Zhen quietly left the River Origin Oasis again without alerting the snakes.
His true purpose was not to slaughter the descendants of the Divine Flame Lords, but rather the chance and assistance to hopefully go further. Back then, his betrayal at the time of the defeat of the Departing Flame Palace, attacking and killing the Departing Flame Lord's Dao Couple and descendants' disciples, and scavenging the resources and treasures, had given him a taste of the sweetness.
Otherwise, Fang Zhen would not be able to reach a higher level of cultivation after a year.
Flying a few dozen miles out of the River Origin Oasis.
If Fang Zhen had a sense, his eyes glanced back at the soil layer under the yellow sand and detected a trace of a not bad demonic aura quickly converging.
"Could it be a backhand left behind by the Supreme Elder?"
He frowned, scorn flaring up in his eyes as he accelerated away from the oasis area.
Previously, Fang Zhen had discovered another landing spot for the sons and daughters of Lord Li Huo, and due to similar scruples, he did not act rashly.
Shan Shui Manor, inside the public house.
"This is leaving?"
Lu Chang'an breathed a small sigh of relief.
If it wasn't necessary, he wouldn't want to fight and slug it out with a Late Stage JieDan.
The strength of a late-stage JieDan cultivator is far greater than that of an ordinary JieDan real person.
Even if he was in the middle stage of Immortal Jindan, without special magic treasures and divine abilities, he would never be a match.
Not to mention the average early and mid stage True Dan, they are completely crushed.
The peak of JieDan also belongs to the late stage of JieDan, but it is only at the top of the cultivation in that small realm, and there is no way to advance.
With such a strong fighter, Lu Changan, together with the runic formations, puppets, and Earth Rock Rats, although he was sure of defeating them, it wasn't easy, and there was a possibility that he could let them escape.
When Fang Zhen left, Lu Changan intentionally let the Earth Rock Rats release a trace of powerful demonic aura, so that this person would be afraid and dare not act rashly.
In a few more years, when Lu Chang'an had cultivated to the middle Jindan stage, as long as it wasn't one of the top late Jindan stages like the Peacock Holy Maiden, it would be relatively easy to deal with.
......
Half a day later.
The conjugation vision of the Landscape Manor disappeared, and the black-robed young man brought by Elder Duan only formed a false dan.
Lu Chang'an didn't care about this, but was trying to figure out Fang Zhen's intentions and had a rough guess in his heart.
The Fire Lord has left behind a treasure of resources for the descendants of the Feng Yuan Kingdom.
However, most of the core resources to truly cultivate the YuanYing level were in the LiFire Palace on the side of the Seven Kingdoms Alliance.
The resources left behind here only have one or two items that are helpful to the YuanYing level, which is not very attractive to Lu Chang'an.
One of them was the detailed insights of the Divine Flame Master's promotion to YuanYing, which was meaningless to Lu Chang'an.
The second is an ordinary spirit, which is far less helpful than the Infant Transformation Pill or the Tai Yin Jade Liquid.
When Lu Changan reaches the late stage of Dan cultivation and has sufficient financial resources, he will be able to buy that kind of ordinary spiritual substance in the Moonwatch Immortal City.
Ten days later.
Elder Duan took the black-robed young man who was consolidating his realm and said goodbye to Lu Chang'an.
For the potentially tracking Fang Zhen, Lu Chang'an did not directly remind him, not wanting to get too deeply involved.
Duan Lao, as the highest cultivator in the Wind Elemental Kingdom, has the bottom card left behind by the Yuan Ying Elder, although he can't beat the late stage JieDan cultivator, he has the ability to protect himself.
According to Lu Changan's estimation, Duan Lao actually knew of Fang Zhen's existence and was prepared.
This time, the old man did not let Lu Changan avoid, perhaps want to pull him into the water, become their own people, the future together against the strong enemy, share the risk.
"This grandson, his heart is very bad."
Lu Chang'an was thinking about running away after advancing to the middle Jindan stage and changing to a place with a better spiritual vein environment.
The status of a third-ranked dan master was popular and highly revered all over the Wind Elemental Kingdom.
......
Two years later, the River Origin Oasis was at peace.
The Star Moon Chamber of Commerce expanded steadily and not only paid off all of Lu Chang'an's outstanding debts, but even hired a True Dan cultivator as an envoy.
On this day, Lu Chang'an, who had turned 232 years old, was in a good state of skill and finally began to refine the Crystal Condensation Pill.
Inside the alchemy room, Lu Chang'an closed his eyes and communicated with the Nine Seal Tablet, allowing the soul shadow of the peak JieDan of his second life to descend.
In an instant, his clothes were windless and his soul power climbed and soared, vaguely exceeding the realm of the JieDan stage.
Seven days later.
Inside the alchemy room, the sunlight surrounds, the furnace opens, shooting out three pills of glazed snow jade, emitting a faint spiritual pressure.
"Three finished pills! Two genuine, one inferior, slightly flawed." Lu Chang'an appraised it and showed joy on his face.
One must know that back then, Golden Cloud Valley's third-ranked middle-grade dan master, "Chen Dan Zhen Zhen", only managed to refine two Crystal Condensation Dans in his normal state with all his might.
It is not that Lu Chang'an's attainments are higher.
He was in no hurry at all and waited for a good time to let his second spirit possess him, and his ability to control his divine sense increased greatly.
With good luck, three pills were formed.
One of them was an inferior product, only slightly flawed, and the difference in quality between it and the genuine product was not too great.
"It's a pity that the third-order longevity fruit has not yet matured."
Lu Chang'an showed slight regret.
He was in such a hot state, but he couldn't make a single effort to successfully refine the Third Order Longevity Extension Pill as well.
The Third Grade Life Extension Pill is really useful to him.
The Crystal Condensation Pill, on the other hand, is only used to replace rare resources.
In fact, Lu Changan's Evergreen Kung Fu could be used to cultivate and catalyze heavenly materials.
In the past few years, he tried it.
For low-grade spiritual herbs, even if they don't sacrifice their lifespan, using Evergreen Mana to contain them can significantly speed up their growth.
But for third-order exotic flowers and herbs, one needs to consume longevity in order to significantly catalyze the growth effect.
The spirit plants of third-order longevity fruits are planted on land diluted with a small amount of five elemental earth to ensure the survival rate.
Lu Chang'an had once consumed one year of longevity to catalyze the growth of the Third Stage Longevity Fruit, allowing the growth rate of the Third Stage Longevity Fruit to increase by two times in one year.
For second-order herbs, it could be accelerated by about ten times.
Lu Changan estimated that this means of Kryptonian life to catalyze growth was not cost-effective.
The higher the grade of the herb, the more expensive it is to catalyze it.
The lower the grade, the more effective it is, but you can't use it yourself, so it's not worth it to use your life span to catalyze the growth of it.
Unless it is an extremely important heavenly material or treasure, which is related to the chance of forming a baby, Lu Changan will only consider the kryptonite life to catalyze the cultivation.
There are many places that require his kryptonite.
Priority was given to the Divination Enhancement, followed by the Xuan Tian Gourd Vine.
The Xuan Tian Gourd Vine, after investing a hundred or so decades of its life back then, was slowly regaining its green color itself.
Lu Chang'an and the Xuan Shui Turtle only need to be nourished continuously.
Lu Chang'an was prepared to invest another life span into the Xuan Tian Huludao after the middle stage of the JieDan. At that time, the quality of mana would be higher and the effect of the Evergreen Secret Technique would be better.
......
After refining the Crystal Condensation Pill, Lu Chang'an's possessed second life soul shadow would still be able to last for another ten months.
He planned to make a trip to Gutian Immortal City to purchase and exchange some needed resources.
In addition to the Crystal Condensation Pill, he also had some of the supplies he had brought from Liang, including a batch of spirit beast cubs and beast eggs.
Gutian Immortal City, a high-level Immortal City of the Outer Sect Alliance, was controlled by a force led by the [Xuanji Building].
The surrounding oases and spiritual lands are all centered around the Gutian Immortal City.
Half a year later, there will be a large-scale auction held once every ten years in Gutian Immortal City.
Xuanji House is one of the organizers.
This force is said to be the force established by the defectors of the Thousand Chance Sect in the Wind Elemental Country, mainly dealing with the puppet business.
Lu Chang'an wanted to upgrade his puppet detachment and build more third-order mid-grade puppets, and he was somewhat interested in this auction.
A month before the auction, the Yun siblings paid another visit.
"Mr. Xu, Granny is taking us to open our eyes to attend the large-scale auction in Gutian Immortal City next month, would you like to accompany us?"
Yun Ling's eyes were full of expectation, and she proposed.
"Well, that's fine. I'm about to sell some pills and purchase resources along the way."
Lu Chang'an thought about it and didn't refuse.
Now that he had the puppet doppelganger, he didn't have to do all the purchasing in Immortal City himself.
Lu Chang'an acted as a front in the open, trading normal supplies.
The puppet doppelganger acted in the shadows, selling and purchasing, and could even go to the black market without fear of being blackmailed.
Half a month later.
Lu Chang'an met up with Granny Yun and the Yun siblings at the He Yuan Fang Market and set off together.
Granny Yun only revealed her False Pill cultivation.
Lu Changan sacrificed a flying carpet magic treasure built by practicing, unfolding five or six feet, riding comfortably, carrying the four people to fly to Gutian Immortal City. On the flying carpet, the white-haired and wrinkled Yun Yan sat opposite Lu Changan, looking lonely and silent.
Yun Yan sensed that Lu Changan was not interested in talking to her.
Her cloudy eyes watched as Yun Ling happily talked and laughed with Lu Changan.
This elegant and handsome Mr. Xu was very patient with Ling, his expression was gentle, and he didn't have the stance of a JieDan real person.
That face that felt comfortable and smooth to the eyes made Yun Yan inexplicably want to get a little closer and couldn't help but envy Suzaku.
In the face of "unequal" treatment, with her age and experience, she actually felt a trace of discomfort, and almost wanted to show her true face.
Although Yun Ling is young and beautiful, but in terms of the maturity of women's charms, since it is not as good as her.
Lu Changan is not trying to alienate Yun Yan.
This woman is the last wife of the Fire Lord, Lu Changan does not want to get to know her better and get involved in more karmic consequences.
Yun Yan's vision and knowledge exceeds that of ordinary JieDan real people, so Lu Changan avoids letting her see the clues.
......
The Gutian Immortal City is only a few thousand miles away.
Lu Changan controlled the magic treasure, carrying a few people, and did not open the full speed, less than an hour to arrive at the destination.
In the field of vision, a large area of cultivated spiritual fields appeared, and in the center of the large sand dunes stood a strange desert city that was half-steel and half-mechanical.
"An immortal city transformed by puppet techniques?"
Lu Chang'an's eyes lit up with novelty.
From a long distance away, he saw the puppet turrets extending from the battlements, as well as the puppet giants patrolling around the Immortal City.
Those patrolling puppet giants were as high as 4 or 5 feet, and their grade was quasi third order, due to their huge size and heavy armor, even a False Dan real person would have to be afraid to fight head on.
These puppet giants are a deterrent for the [Xuanji House] to show its force to the outside world, in order to promote the sale of its own puppet instruments.
Because of the high cost of puppets, non-puppet masters can not play the real power, but also to share the divine sense in the fight, in the cultivation world is relatively cold.
Xuanji House is the puppet branch of the Thousand Chance Sect, which has brought a thriving puppet civilization to the country of Feng Yuan.
Especially in this part of the Outer Clan Alliance, puppet masters are relatively common, significantly more than in Liang.
The materials and inheritance of puppets were easier to obtain than in the outside world.
A large-scale auction was about to be held, and Gutian Immortal City had a lot of traffic.
Outside the Immortal City, there were pavilions, chariots, spirit birds, and flowing magic treasure carriers hovering.
One of them is an ancient colored palace, which has a beautiful music sound, attracting the attention of many cultivators.
"I heard that the Xuan Yin Pavilion's owner, 'Fairy Nei Yue', came in person to participate in this large-scale auction, I wonder which auction item she has her eye on?"
"It is a pity that my cultivation is so shallow that I do not have the chance to enter the palace building of the Xuan Yin Pavilion and catch a glimpse of Fairy Nei Yue's immortal appearance. Only a JieDan real person with prestige may be invited."
"Alas, we can only spend spirit stones to enter the city's 'Myriad Sound Building', which is the property of the Xuan Yin Pavilion, where we can enjoy the beauty of Xuan Yin Pavilion's female cultivators, listen to the wonderful sounds, and wash our spiritual platforms."
Cultivators from all over the world, looking at the misty dream-like palace building, there is no lack of discussion yearning.
Lu Changan's powerful divine sense detected the situation and was not surprised by the arrival of the Xuan Yin Pavilion.
The Xuan Yin Pavilion migrated years ago and took root in the Outer Sect Alliance region, and most of the nearby Great Immortal Cities have their Myriad Sound Buildings.
The new generation of female disciples of the Xuan Yin Pavilion were basically recruited in the neighborhood.
Lu Changan rode his flying carpet magic treasure and entered the Gutian Immortal City.
"I heard that Manservant Xu has an old relationship with the True Dan Elder of the Xuan Yin Pavilion, so why don't you go pay your respects and get in touch? Real Xu doesn't have to care about us."
Granny Yun had a kind face and opened her mouth to test the waters.
"Where, Mister Xu's relationship with the Xuan Yin Pavilion is average, it's just a correspondence between alchemy transactions."
Lu Changan denied.
Granny Yun laughed and was noncommittal.
I heard from Bell that this Mr. Xu had an affair with Fairy Jiang of the Xuan Yin Pavilion, and even allowed the latter to stay at the manor. In fact, before the destruction of the Li Huo Palace, Yun Yan and the former pavilion master of the Xuan Yin Pavilion, including the real Ne Yue, knew each other and even had a good relationship.
She was well aware of how attractive the beauty and temperament of Xuan Yin Pavilion's female cultivators, coupled with their musical talents, were to male cultivators.
......
On that day, Lu Chang'an and Yun's trio, checked in at the inn in Gutian Immortal City.
Late at night, Lu Chang'an quietly released his third-stage mid-grade puppet doppelganger.
In order to differentiate from the assassin codenamed Black Lord, the costume of the puppet doppelganger was greatly changed, transforming into a bucket hat traveling merchant monk.
His dress resembles the "Heavenly Pivot Taoist" who Lu Chang'an had dealt with in the past.
Of course, this is only one of the images, the puppet doppelganger will use different images to move around the Immortal City.
The auction is still ten days away.
Lu Chang'an and the puppet doppelganger, split into two paths, light and dark, purchasing or selling resources in the Gutian Immortal City.
On the eve of the auction, there was a lot of traffic, which made it a good time to sell stolen goods.
A few days passed.
The puppet doppelganger traveled to and from the major stores in Immortal City and even participated in the underground black market, realizing a large amount of spirit stones.
The spirit beast cubs and eggs obtained from the Yellow Wolf Realist were quite popular in the Immortal City, and were sold at a higher price than Lu Chang'an expected.
Because, many of these species were not found in the desert area and could only be brought into the Wind Elemental Kingdom by outside cultivators.
As long as they weren't sold in large quantities, Lu Changan wasn't worried about revealing himself.
Because this area of the Outer Sect Alliance is already home to cultivators from all over the world, and the side of the Wei Dao Alliance is only a part of it.
Puppet Masters, Poison Masters, Body Cultivators, Beast Masters, all kinds of schools of cultivators can be seen, so it can be described as a mixture of fish and dragons.
In addition to spirit beast cubs and eggs, the puppet bilocation also sells some materials brought from Liang, which are rare and expensive over here.
Lu Chang'an himself sold some pills below the third level, which were unremarkable for his status.
Just a few days.
Lu Chang'an and the puppet doppelganger, realized more than 100,000 spirit stones.
The materials sold, including spirit beast cubs and eggs, are only a portion of the total, with more than 50% left for the future.
Most of the realized spirit stones were used to purchase materials for third stage puppets, as well as more profound puppet techniques.
Due to Lu Changan's lack of connections in the Gutian Immortal City, he could only pay a high price or let the puppet buy it in the black market.
Two days before the auction, Lu Chang'an had gathered the materials for the next third-order mid-grade puppet, including the stock from previous years.
There were also some precious materials that could be bid on at the auction.
In addition, Lu Chang'an had also obtained a puppet inheritance from the Thousand Chance Sect, but it was only quasi third-order.
"The puppet inheritance from the Thousand Chance Sect is truly extraordinary."
Lu Chang'an's participation in a lower-order puppet inheritance actually benefited and inspired him in no small way.
The puppet inheritance that he had obtained over at the Weidao Alliance was far from comparable to the Thousand Mechanisms Sect in terms of heritage.
He couldn't help but be eager for the higher grade puppet inheritance of the Thousand Chance Sect to perfect his own puppet doppelganger.
In the past few days, the puppet bilocations have been trading with others, trying to make short contacts and quick battles.
In order to avoid being seen to be broken, the puppet bilocations used powerful divine sense to isolate their bodies, eliminating the probing of outsiders.
......
The night before the auction, heavy news suddenly came from Gutian Immortal City.
"Mr. Xu, have you heard that there is an additional finale item for this auction."
The Yun siblings came to pay their respects and report the latest news to Lu Chang'an.
"What is it?" Lu Changan did not move.
"That grand finale is the Crystal Condensation Pill!"
"Genuine Crystal Condensation Pill, at the Gutian Immortal City Auction, it can be called a once-in-a-century sight."
The Yun siblings spoke in an excited tone, their hearts yearning for it.
According to the initial announcement of the auction, the grand finale was a third-order puppet, a third-order water spirit bead, and a medium-grade magic treasure, and there was no Genuine Crystal Condensation Pill.
Seeing the reaction of Yun's siblings, Lu Changan realized that due to the barrenness of materials, high grade pills were even more scarce and hard to come by in Feng Yuan Country. Not to mention the Crystal Condensation Pill that increases the probability of forming a dan.
Genuine Crystal Condensation Pills rarely appeared in the auctions of the Feng Yuan Kingdom.
Every time it appeared, it would cause a frenzy and even a bloody fight.
That's right!
That Crystal Condensation Pill that was auctioned in the finale actually came from Lu Chang'an!
He had the puppet doppelganger, as a mysterious person, commission a consignment at the auction, prioritizing the trade of the Third Order Life Extension Pill, as well as the Thousand Chance Sect's puppet inheritance.
As for that Crystal Condensation Pill, whether or not it would cause turmoil and killings in this barren desert land had little to do with him, Lu.
