Chapter 43: Old and Young Rivalry
"Lu Chang'an, how many years have you been in the Mu family?"
Mu Renlong's aura was powerful, his voice was thick and contained a sense of majesty.
"Twenty years." Lu Chang'an replied.
"So long?" Mu Renlong couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Over the years, you've made a lot of contributions to the Mu Family, so you're considered a member of your own family."
"If you fancy any girl within the clan, no matter who it is, a certain family will do it for you!"
Mu Renlong cast an encouraging gaze, his tone filled with dominance.
Without waiting for Lu Chang'an to reply, he got up and headed to the auction.
Lu Chang'an heard Mu Renlong's words and supported his marriage with Mu Xiuyun.
Even if Mu Maode didn't agree, he had to give in.
After all, Mu Renlong, who is at the Foundation Stage, is the only one in the Mu Family, and his style is even more overbearing than that of the previous generation's ancestors.
Mu Maode's face was unhappy, and his heart was lost.
His own daughter is so excellent, beautiful face, or a first-order top-grade talisman master, but by a seemingly harmless pig to the arch.
If it is a family member, Lu Changan, as an excellent talisman master with outstanding appearance and calm behavior, it is also quite suitable.
In this way, both excellent talents will not be lost, and will be firmly bound to the Mu family.
He was previously blinded by his old father's emotions.
In contrast, Mu Renlong controlled the big picture and was more rational, directly supporting Lu Changan.
......
The location of the Bamboo Leaf Mountain Auction is located in a temple venue near the top of the mountain, which was also just recently constructed.
The specifications of the auction are relatively high, participants must verify that they have two hundred spirit stones, or have items of higher value.
This excludes some poor casual cultivators who purely want to join in the fun.
The Mu family is an invited guest, so naturally they don't need to be verified, and they can directly use the special channel.
"Brother Ren Long! It's a great honor for Bamboo Leaf Mountain to have you come over in person to support the event."
An old man of the Huang family, who was at the Foundation Establishment stage, greeted Mu Renlong with a kind face.
"Huang Family Foundation Establishment Elder, Huang Changling."
Looking towards the ancient old man with protruding cheekbones, Lu Changan recognized the identity.
After all, he had stayed in the Marketplace for so many years, and he had basically seen, or at least heard of, some of the important figures of the Huang Clan.
The Huang family has three foundation builders, Huang Changling's cultivation is not the highest, but his seniority is profound, and he has been guarding the Bamboo Leaf Mountain Market for many years.
This auction is a very important event, so the Huang family will definitely have more than one Foundation.
The auction site is in the shape of a semicircle, and is extremely open.
On the floor of the venue, there are futons laid out one by one, keeping a distance of more than two feet.
The Mu Family's VIP stand is similar to a hovering terrace that can accommodate ten people.
This auction, the Mu family in addition to high-level cultivators, also brought two young rookies, over to see more.
Lu Changan sat on the VIP stage, enjoying the spiritual tea and fruits served by the waitress.
From the top down, overlooking the details of the auction venue.
Lu Changan saw Li Ergou, Zhao Siyao, and Lin Yi sitting on adjacent futons.
Li Er Dog grinned and also saw Lu Chang An on the VIP platform.
"Lu Chang'an is really hugging his thigh!"
Seeing Lu Chang'an sitting with Mu Xiu Yun, a senior member of the Mu family, Lin Yi secretly sighed.
Lu Chang'an's future marriage with the Mu Family's eldest daughter, even if it is a family member, is already enviable.
"Worthy of being a big brother."
Li Er Dog admired. Thinking back to the beginning, their batch of immortal seedlings escaped from death, the first time to see that gentle as jade girl, how stunning.
Marrying the Mu family's daughter was something they didn't even dare to think about.
......
Half an hour later, the futons of the auction venue were almost filled with human figures. Buzz!
A soft pillar of light descended from the sky, enveloping the auction platform directly in front of it, resembling daytime.
"Welcome to the Bamboo Leaf Mountain, I, 'Guang Cheng Lin', am fortunate enough to be recognized by the host to preside over this auction."
A slightly blonde feather-robed old man with a big smile arched his hand towards the top and left and right of the stage.
"First explain the rules of this auction, prohibit divine sense threat, malicious price raising, private collusion...... all behaviors that affect the normal auction order, light is expelled from the auction venue, heavy is abolished cultivation."
"Let's cut the small talk short, the first auction item of this auction, 'Qing Qi Dan'."
"As we all know, the 'Qi-Clearing Pill' is a step-breaking elixir for advancing to the middle stage of qi refining, and five of them are being auctioned today, with a starting price of one hundred lower-grade Spirit Stones for each, and a minimum increase of five Spirit Stones each time."
Before the words fell, a beautiful green-skirted maid came in with a tray.
"Qi-clearing Pill!"
"The first auction item is the Rank Breaking Pill."
Cultivators from all sides of the field were energized.
Qing Qi Dan, although it was only a rank-breaking elixir to promote to the middle stage of Qi Refining, which power and immortal cultivator would not have a descendant?
This kind of broken rank elixir has always been a scarce commodity.
"I'll offer one hundred and five!"
"One hundred and twenty!"
Offers were heard from all sides of the venue.
In the end, the first one fetched nearly two hundred spirit stones, equivalent to the value of a medium-grade magic weapon.
Afterwards, the remaining four Qi-clearing Pills were all vied for.
"The following is the second auction item, the mid-grade magic weapon 'Green Steel Sub-Mother Sword'......"
The feather-robed old man raised his hand with a smile.
"Medium grade magic weapon! Complete set of magic weapon!"
The eyes of those cultivators in the middle and late stages of Qi Refining glowed.
Lu Chang'an had some interest, the Green Steel Zi Mu Sword was a bit more powerful than the flying shuttle magic weapon that he had seized from Dan Master Ge, it was considered a fine product of the same rank, and was similar to that Black Net.
But in the end, he did not participate.
One more fine mid-grade magic weapon would not be an obvious boost to his strength.
This auction, he had items he valued and had to focus his firepower.
Next, one by one, the auction items were presented, occasionally creating a period of waves on the field.
"The sixteenth item in this auction, a first-order life-extension pill, there are three of them, each of which can extend your life by five years. I remind you, this kind of life-extension pills, the same grade only the first can extend life, the effect can not be superimposed."
"First grade life extension pills?"
The young cultivators are not interested, but those middle-aged and old cultivators, all of them have bright eyes.
A few old men who had dozed off were suddenly energized.
"First-order Life Extension Pill, the holy medicine for life renewal! Auction starts at two hundred lower grade spirit stones, each increase in price is no less than ten spirit stones."
The feather-robed old man's face perked up as he announced in a loud voice.
"Two hundred and fifty spirit stones!"
A white-haired old man with a wrinkled face at the ninth level of Qi Refining couldn't wait to make his offer.
Surprisingly, he raised the price by fifty spirit stones at a time.
However, this price did not scare off the other competitors.
"Two hundred and sixty!"
"Two hundred and eighty!"
"Three hundred!"
In a few moments, the price of a Life Extension Pill soared by half from the starting price.
"Three hundred and ten!"
"Four hundred!"
A grungy young voice engages, sending the bidders into a brief silence.
The bidding increases by nearly a hundred at a time!
"Brother Lu?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Li Ergu couldn't help but be stunned and look up to the VIP table above.
The Mu Family executives, Mu Renlong, Mu Maode, including Mu Xiuyun, all looked at Lu Changan in surprise.
"Lu Chang'an, have you practiced some secret technique that caused your lifespan to be greatly reduced?"
Mu Maode coldly looked at Lu Chang'an, and then glanced at his daughter in an intolerant manner.
"Maode, Lu Chang'an is in his prime and has plenty of yang energy, he is by no means short-lived."
Mu Ren Long let out a light laugh, also curious.
"The latecomer's late introduction to cultivation has resulted in a lack of potential. Purchasing the Life Extension Pill is to make up for the lost years."
Lu Changan was prepared and did not panic. "Eh...... is that the reason?"
The Mu family looked at each other in disbelief, speechless to refute this reason.
However, a normal cultivator would not pay such a large price to prolong his life as long as he is not nearing the end of his life.
With that kind of spirit stone, it would be better to buy precious pills to enhance their cultivation as much as possible.
Moreover, whether a cultivator can advance to a higher realm or not, five years less or more will not affect the overall situation.
The upper limit of one's cultivation is often decided in one's youth.
Lu Chang'an bid for the Life Extension Pill because he considered that Evergreen Kung Fu cultivation needed to draw on the breath of the years, and performing the secret art of healing wounds would consume one's lifespan.
The word "Life Extension Pill" is closely related to the effectiveness of the Evergreen Technique.
He wanted to test what effect he would have if he took the Life Extension Pill.
"Four hundred and ten!"
A cold snort came from a certain aged Late Refining Qi stage, adding ten spirit stones.
The First Order Life Extension Pill, there was no Foundation Establishment Stage involved.
The reason is that most of the elderly Foundation Stage have used the First Order Life Extension Pill before, and repeating it would be ineffective.
"Four hundred and fifty!"
Lu Chang'an raised the price violently, with an imperative look.
This scene caused those senior old men to look sideways and stare over with vicious gazes.
A brat with a carefree lifespan was competing for the Life Extension Pill with them, the old immortals who had half a foot in their coffins?
The group was immediately enraged!
However, Lu Changan was too young, just a rash young man, I'm afraid he wasn't the right person, there was no need to get angry with him.
This person is sitting on the Mu family's VIP table?
"Mu Maode! What's wrong with your Mu Family? Sending a young man to compete with us for longevity at the age of a hundred?"
"Mu Renlong! Back then, your father and I were close friends, how dare you disregard your Foundation Establishment status and be so malicious as to try to force us old guys to die earlier?"
These white-haired aged cultivators, gritting their teeth, have turned their spearheads towards the Mu Family's senior management.
