Natural Fairy Species

Chapter 168 Life-Extension Pill

The auction information on the water mirror has been updated. The long-necked jade bottle contains gray liquid, which is thick and turbid.

"The sword-tempering spirit water actually looks like this. If I hadn't seen it here, I wouldn't have recognized it outside..."

 As a sword cultivator, Bai Zichen attaches great importance to the spiritual objects related to flying swords.

Sword-tempering spiritual water is not a spiritual thing generated by heaven and earth, but a product accidentally discovered by a weapon refiner who is good at refining swords.

 The essence of metal is smelted with earthly fire until it reaches a liquid state, then mixed with stone milk and continued to heat up.

 It takes ten years of smelting to get a furnace of sword-tempering spiritual water.

“Wiping the sword body can effectively protect the internal minor cracks... Soak it in the sword-tempering spiritual water for a day and night to repair the obvious wounds of the flying sword.”

Bai Zichen touched it with his hand, and the specific effect of the sword-tempering spirit water appeared on the surface of the water mirror.

There is no need to repair the first-level flying sword. The third-level flying sword usually exists in the sea of ​​dantian qi and is nourished by the dantian qi.

  A slight collision with the magic weapon or the slight cracks caused by flying swords can be slowly restored with the help of Dan Qi.

Therefore, the role of the third-level sword-tempering spiritual water has been reduced, and few weapon refiners specialize in smelting it.

 Second-level sword-tempering spiritual water is the most common type on the market.

Bai Zichen has the skill of raising swords and can warm up and repair all wooden flying swords.

According to the Secret Sword Refining Tradition, even if the flying sword is broken, it can still be repaired using the sword-raising technique.

 Slightly hidden wounds can be repaired faster.

Although wooden flying swords are not as sharp and hard as metal flying swords, they are not afraid of fighting in his hands. There is no need to worry about the damage of flying swords, and they will not suffer any disadvantages when facing other flying swords.

“The sword-raising technique is ineffective against the Tianxin Sword. It is necessary to buy two bottles of sword-tempering spiritual water for backup... After all, the flying sword will not be replaced until the elixir is formed, and it will be with me for a long time.”

 The service life of the flying sword is closely related to the frequency of fighting.

Those monks who are crazy about martial arts and often fight with swords may have worn out the flying swords in their hands in five or six years to the point where they need to be refinished.

 A bottle of sword-tempering spiritual water can soak a flying sword three times.

 Bai Zichen mentally estimated the value of the sword-tempering spiritual water, and first quoted a high price of three thousand spiritual stones, and then quoted two thousand spiritual stones.

 Finally, the median value was taken, and 2,500 spiritual stones and 2,600 spiritual stones were quoted separately.

“I didn’t expect that Junior Brother Bai has just come into contact with the form of secret shooting, and he has already mastered the three flavors of it. He doesn’t need my guidance at all…”

Jin Lu looked shocked. He originally thought that Junior Brother Bai had outstanding combat power and must be a swordsman with a passion for swordsmanship.

 At this age, he has achieved an astonishing level of swordsmanship.

 Unexpectedly, no one can learn this bidding trick at auction.

“This product is useful to me, and a slight premium is acceptable.”

Bai Zichen felt Jin Lu's surprised look and felt funny in his heart.

True cultivation geniuses, such as Tianlinggen monks, are regarded as treasures in any sect.

 In the early stage of practice, not even a second is wasted.

 For them, it is normal for the Qi refining realm to reach one level per year.

 The entire process of foundation building can be completed within one Jiuzi.

 Therefore, many Tianlinggen monks rarely touch common affairs until the foundation is completed, and they retain a childlike heart.

This leaves a stereotype to others. Genius monks are often childlike and ignorant of common affairs.

It's just that these people are obsessed with cultivation and can't spare their energy at all.

 As long as you have a little experience, you will learn and grow rapidly.

The sword-tempering spiritual water is bound to be obtained, and the price of three thousand spiritual stones is to ensure that one will fall into the hands.

 The quoted price of two thousand spiritual stones is slightly lower than the market price. Try your luck to see if you miss the opportunity.

 As for the remaining two prices, they are both normal prices.

Whether you can win the bid depends on how many monks in the field are interested in the sword-tempering spirit stone.

 After one stick of incense, the bidding ends.

 The results were updated in a timely manner on the water mirror. Three thousand spiritual stones and two thousand six hundred spiritual stones were quoted. These two quotations successfully ranked among the top ten.

 The auction house moved very quickly. As soon as the next lot was displayed on the stage, there was already a knock on the box door.

“Two distinguished guests, two bottles of second-level sword-tempering spiritual water have been delivered.”

The auction house manager was followed by a lady, who placed the tray in her hand on the box table.

Bai Zichen inspected the jade bottle and found it to be intact and unopened. With a little heartache, he counted 5,600 spiritual stones.

The steward put away the spirit stone, nodded slightly, and exited the box without saying a word.

“It seems that the Yinzhu Sword also has advantages. At least it saves you trouble in daily maintenance...”

 Bai Zichen put away the sword-tempering spirit water. It should be able to be used for a long time.

 Two bottles of sword-tempering spiritual water are enough to repair the Tianxin Sword six times.

  In the subsequent auctions, there were no items that interested him, so he just watched on the sidelines.

Jin Lu bids for a nest of fire bee eggs.

 It’s a pity that the bid was not as good as others, and it’s a pity that I missed it.

"The first round of bidding is over, congratulations to all fellow Taoists... The second round of auctions will begin immediately. If fellow Taoists who are not rich in spiritual stones can call the manager of the bank, deposit their treasures with the bank, and temporarily borrow the spiritual stones for turnover at 30% off the market price. "

The host on the stage wore a long robe with ripples embroidered from the chest to the cuffs, which is exactly what the core disciples of the Du family wear.

The look on his face was dull and his tone was flat. He was obviously not a member of the auction house, but was only temporarily seconded to attend the auction.

 “The foundation building is complete, Du’s great work...”

When the Du family monk went to that station, he had the feeling of Yue Zhi Yuan Ting, like a majestic and heavy mountain.

This man deliberately showed off his cultivation. Through the window of the box, Bai Zichen could tell that this man had completed his foundation building, and the feeling he gave him was somewhat similar to when he faced Patriarch Yang.

“This is the twelfth son of the Du family. He is younger than me. He has been building the foundation for several years... He is one of the most valued disciples of the Du family. It is said that he is expected to be promoted to Jiedan within thirty years.”

As expected, Jin Lu knew the Du family well and quickly explained his life.

“Every thirty years, Immortal City will hold a large-scale auction focusing on third-level treasures. At that time, a large number of Jiedan masters will come here... At that time, Du will send two Jiedan tribe members to preside over the auction.”

 What a grand gesture!

Bai Zichen looked at the twelfth son of the Du family in the venue. This auction had three levels of private rooms open, which meant that Master Jie Dan was present.

Du's meaning is very obvious. A tribesman with perfect foundation building is enough to calm the scene.

Of course, in Zengguang Immortal City, even if only one Qi Refining clan member from the Du family came, no one would dare to act recklessly at the auction.

At most, I made a few slanders in my heart, feeling that I was not taken seriously.

“The first auction item of the second round, the Golden Jade Heart Pill...a hundred pills in total, with a starting price of three thousand spiritual stones for each pill.”

Du Twelve Lang only acted as an announcer and did not mention the function of the auction items at all.

 Fortunately, as long as the monk touches the water mirror, he will explain it in detail.

Jinyu Bixin Dan is effective when taken for the first time, extending life by twenty years.

“Immortal grass has been hard to find in recent years, and the production of Golden Jade and Bixin Pills has dropped significantly... I thought that Du Shi would not release the longevity pills at this auction, or at least reduce the quantity, but I didn’t expect that it would still be a hundred pills at a time.”

 Jin Lu is in his prime and has no need for life-extending elixirs.

However, considering that longevity grass, the main material for refining various life-extending elixirs, is gradually becoming scarce, and the price of each life-extending elixir is rising, there is a trace of hesitation.

Perhaps we should take action early and prepare one first?

“I heard that the Golden Jade and Bixin Pill is the most common second-level life-extending pill and is often sold in Wanbao Pavilion?”

Bai Zichen found that what Jin Lu said was inconsistent with what he had learned, and asked curiously.

“That was true thirty years ago, but it’s different now.”

Jin Lu touched his belly and said with a hint of showoff: "All life-extending elixirs use the third-level elixir Changshengcao. Originally, the reason why Jinyu Bixin Dan is the most popular and the price is not high is because of its formula. Immortality grass has the least demand...but thirty years ago, a secret medicine garden in Liang State collapsed, and most of the longevity grass on the market suddenly disappeared, and the prices of all life-extending elixirs also increased sharply."

He was transferred to the Alchemy Hall and coveted the position of the Hall Master. Naturally, he had to show some skills in alchemy to convince the crowd.

Although his alchemy skills are mediocre, he is very concerned about the price changes of various alchemy materials, so he will not miss the news of the sharp drop in the output of longevity grass.

Jin Lu took up his pen and wrote the price of four thousand spiritual stones on the water mirror, and continued: "Du Shi released a hundred Golden Jade Heart Pills without caring about this situation, which can only show one thing, the secret realm of his medicine garden I'm afraid it's the highest-level one, and it only takes one-fifth of the growth time of the outside world to plant the elixir!"

 The secret realms controlled by various forces are all top-level secrets, and outsiders can only have a rough idea.

The secret realm of Wanshoumen that produces elixir-forming spiritual objects is an exception.

It wasn't long after I first discovered that there was a ghost inside the sect. He spread the news that each Jiazi could condense two hundred drops of pure chalcedony, and the Wanshou Sect became a target of public criticism.

If the secret place of Du's Medicine Garden can shorten the growth time of elixirs to one-fifth, it means that the Millennium Golden Crown Ganoderma lucidum planted there will only take two hundred years to mature.

As long as you plant several rounds at different times, you can ensure a stable harvest of a batch of Golden Delicious Ganoderma lucidum every once in a while.

This is the reason why a stable secret medicine garden is regarded as the starting point of the eternal foundation of the sect family.

 Bai Zichen's eyes flashed, feeling that Jin Lu knew Du Shi too deeply.

There is something wrong with a border-level sect that is hundreds of thousands of miles away and has nothing to do with the Du Family, the No. 1 Immortal Cultivation Family that controls the Immortal City. It pays so much attention and collects so much information. There is something wrong.

 Once the bidding time has passed, the golden jade and green heart elixir on the water mirror recedes, and no prompt message appears.

 It proves that Jin Lu’s quotations of four thousand spiritual stones were not in the top 100, and there was no chance of this life-extending elixir.

 “The report is too low! It should be reported as hundreds of spiritual stones higher!”

Jin Lu slapped his thigh and said regretfully.

He still failed to judge the direction of the market trends, and he did not expect that the sharp drop in longevity grass production would bring a sense of urgency to the elderly monk so quickly.

With the sale of the Golden Jade Bixin Pill in this auction, unless a new source of longevity grass is discovered in the future, the price of life-extending pills will only continue to rise.

 The fear of death is not only possessed by mortals, but is also deeply engraved in the heart of every monk.

After the life-extending elixir, two more elixirs for improving cultivation appeared, including the Nine-turn Dragon and Tiger Pill that Bai Zichen once took.

However, the auction was much more grand, with 300 pieces put on the shelves at one time, and bids were made in groups of three.

Corresponds exactly to the early stage of foundation building, the middle stage of foundation building, and the late stage of foundation building. Each level has one piece, and the starting price of each group is also three thousand spiritual stones.
