A Mortal's Story of Cultivation into Immortality
Chapter 522 The wind blows overseas, Furnace Cauldron
"This place seems to be no different from an ordinary auction. Fellow Taoist Xu brought us here specially. What kind of strange things can we really see?" The woman surnamed Liu among the big men in brocade clothes asked Xu Yun with some doubts.
"Don't worry! Although the auctions here are very frequent, held every few days and a half, there are several special auction items that will appear every time. Although they are not the most expensive items in the auction, they are indeed easy to see in the Inner Star Sea. You can't." Xu Yun said with a somewhat mysterious look, but then he saw Han Li coming over and smiled kindly at him.
Han Li nodded casually and suddenly asked a question that surprised the other party.
"Fellow Daoist Xu. How many monks are there in this Black Rock City? It doesn't look like there are too many monks."
"Brother Qu is really sharp-eyed! Apart from a few inns that can temporarily accommodate people, there are generally no foreign monks living permanently in Black Rock City. High-level monks will have their own caves on other islands. Low-level ones gather into small villages. The town and mortals live together. The monks in Black Rock City all come to buy and sell things, and the lower-level monks travel more frequently." Xu Yun admitted frankly.
"Didn't you say that only monks at the foundation-building stage and above can survive in the open sea? How come there are so many mortals and Qi-refining stage monks?" The man in brocade was silent for a while and asked a question that Han Li was also a little confused about.
"Brother Yi's question touches on the key point. This is the other biggest difference between Qiyuan Island and other monster islands."
"Other Monster Beast Islands are teleported there by some high-level monks specifically for the purpose of hunting monster beasts. Generally, after accumulating enough harvest, they will return to the Inner Star Sea. On Qiyuan Island, the ones found in Haiyuan A few years later, these forces found several spiritual stone mines on nearby islands, and opened up some other raw material production areas needed for cultivation, and they were basically self-sufficient. As a result, some monks also brought their families with them. Come here, mortals and low-level monks without spiritual roots appear naturally. I also heard that the forces that manage Blackstone City are slowly transferring their main manpower here from the Inner Star Sea. It is estimated that it will take tens of thousands of years. In time, this place may become the second Inner Star Sea. However, except for this Black Stone City, most of the mortal and monk villages on other islands cannot be said to be absolutely safe. Small villages and towns are often destroyed by some high-level monsters that suddenly appear. The beast will be destroyed. This place is just following the old path when our ancestors first arrived in the Inner Star Sea." Xu Yun said calmly.
But these words made others stunned.
"Don't Star Palace and other forces want to take care of everything here?" The big man in brocade took a breath and asked in a deep voice.
"It's still early for this place to be as prosperous as the Inner Star Sea. Besides, the Inner Star Sea is just big enough for them to deal with. Who has time to take care of this place? They wish that these forces would focus their main manpower and energy on Qiyuan Island. Otherwise, the current Inner Star Sea may be even more chaotic." Xu Yun said with a cold snort, obviously still feeling sulky about the sudden closure of the teleportation array in the Star Palace.
After hearing these words, the big men in brocade felt that they made sense, and after looking at each other for a few times, they stopped mentioning the topic.
It would be better for young monks like them to inquire less about the affairs between these forces, so as not to get into trouble.
After selling a few more magical artifacts and raw materials, a middle-aged man in blue appeared behind the old man presiding over the auction, holding a red brocade box. In the box was a large white fist ball with purple in it.
Seeing this, Xu Yun perked up.
"Fellow Taoists, please pay attention. Next is one of the most important auction items on Qiyuan Island, the eggs of monsters. There are many treasures among them. These things are spiritual stones with sky-high prices in the Inner Star Sea. On Qiyuan Island It’s much cheaper. Because except for some special beast eggs, most of the eggs cannot pass through the teleportation array. What happens to them when they are teleported by others is that they become dead eggs. Therefore, whenever some rare monster eggs In this world, some high-level monks who know the true situation of Qiyuan Island will also teleport to Black Rock City to bid for spirit beasts. After hatching the spirit beasts, they will spend some time cultivating them to a stage where they can be teleported before returning to the Inner Star Sea."
"Monster egg!" The eyes of the handsome man suddenly lit up. He wanted to cultivate a high-level monster. This was something he had dreamed of for a long time.
The faces of several other people also showed surprise.
According to this, wouldn't they also have the opportunity to have their own spiritual beasts in the future? Finding a good spirit beast in the Inner Star Sea is extremely difficult!
"The young egg of the monster Purple Cloud Eagle. When it matures, it is a level four earth attribute monster. It has steel feathers as hard as iron. Although it only knows a simple shield spell, its flying speed is extremely fast, comparable to upper-level flying magic weapons. . A pair of sharp claws can easily tear through the shield of a monk in the Foundation Establishment stage. It is considered a rare species of monster. It is definitely the best choice for Taoist friends in the Foundation Establishment stage. The base price is two thousand spiritual stones, and the price increases by one hundred each time. Bidding begins!" The old man seemed confident about the eggs. He just introduced them briefly and started the auction without hesitation.
As expected, many of the monks below were interested in this item. As soon as the old man finished speaking, someone immediately made a bid.
Although the fourth-level monsters are not worth mentioning to the monks in the core-building stage, they are just right for these monks in the foundation-building stage.
Because too high-level spiritual beasts are not only expensive, but also have a much longer adult cycle than low-level spiritual beasts. Even if they use some secret techniques to induce birth, they can't afford to wait.
"Two thousand five hundred spirit stones!"
"Two thousand seven!"
"Three thousand!"
...The price of Ziyunying's eggs soon exceeded 3,000, and was finally bought by a female monk with great excitement for 3,030 spirit stones.
"It is indeed much cheaper than Inner Star Sea. If it were in Tianxing City, such a flying spirit beast egg would cost at least five thousand spirit stones!" The dark-faced middle-aged man stared at the egg in the female cultivator's hand and murmured murmured.
Except for Han Li, the eyes of everyone else, including the big man in brocade clothes, lit up.
When Xu Yun saw this scene, he just smiled.
Next, the old man auctioned off a third-level and another fourth-level monster egg at a high price, thus ending the auction of spirit beast eggs.
"What is this?" Mrs. Liu's face suddenly changed when she saw the auction item brought up again, and the others also looked stunned.
Because there are two young and beautiful women standing next to the old auctioneer. Although they are only at the second or third level of the Qi Refining Stage, they are indeed genuine immortal cultivators. But looking at the way they were brought up with low eyebrows, the auction item this time turned out to be these two female cultivators.
Xu Yun didn't show any surprise when he saw this. Instead, he used his eyes to indicate to the others to listen to what the old man said.
"The following are four low-level cauldrons in the Qi refining stage. They have only practiced the basic Five Elements Kung Fu, and each of them is absolutely perfect. But according to their requirements, the monks who bid for them must be above the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. Only with a certain level of cultivation. The base price is two thousand spiritual stones per person, and the auction will begin next..."
Ever since the old man asked someone to bring the two female cultivators up, many of the male cultivators below began to look at the two women with fiery eyes. However, after the old man's words fell for a long time, there was no bid for a long time. Even the two male cultivators sitting not far in front of Han Li and others were discussing something in low voices.
"What's the use of buying a two- or three-story furnace with two thousand spiritual stones? If you really want a maid and concubine, you might as well buy a mortal girl elsewhere. When you get older and look better, you can spend more money. Just send it away. But if it’s the cauldron in the foundation-building stage, no matter how much spiritual stone it costs, I’m willing to do it.”
"You are dreaming. You think you are a monk in the Core Formation Stage. Don't forget the rules here. The furnace cauldron in the Foundation Stage is not something we can get involved in. Even if it is allowed, it is better to buy a better spirit beast egg for that sky-high price. It’s a good deal.”
…
Hearing these conversations, Han Li was still surprised, but the shock on his face gradually faded.
He had heard before that some forces secretly trained some young female monks to be used as cauldrons, and some high-level monks even sent these female monks around as gifts. But no matter what, there is no public auction of the female cultivator's furnace in the Inner Star Sea. This kind of behavior here really shocked him.
The expressions of the big men in brocade clothes also calmed down.
After all, the existence of the furnace tripod is something that everyone in the world of cultivating immortals is well aware of. But Mrs. Liu and another young woman, both women, still looked a little uncomfortable.
"There is no need to be surprised by the fellow Taoists. These women are all voluntarily serving as other people's furnaces, and are not forced by anyone. They basically belong to the kind of female cultivators with poor spiritual qualifications, and it is difficult for them to reach high-level cultivation through ordinary cultivation methods. There are no seniors and experts in the family to rely on, and all the forces look down on them and are unwilling to spend spiritual stones to train them. As a result, in a place like the outer star sea, they don't bother to do the work of ordinary mortals. Instead, they go out to hunt monsters. The beast is looking for death again. Only after a little success in cultivation can he take the initiative to serve as a cauldron for more advanced male cultivators. This will not only provide a large sum of spiritual stones for the family, but also provide a certain amount of support for oneself. If you can please the male monks and become concubines, you may have other opportunities. Of course, there are also high-level female cultivators with good spiritual qualifications who, for other reasons, take the initiative to become other people's cauldrons. However, such a cauldron Ding does not allow low-level male cultivators to participate in the bidding. An auction of this level will not happen." Xu Yun said slowly, it seems that this kind of thing has long been accustomed to.
