Nine Transformations of the True Spirit

Half a month later, dusk fell and the lights came on.

In the north of Fanyang Market, a palace stood majestically, covering hundreds of acres. The glazed tiles shone with golden light in the afterglow of the setting sun, like thousands of eyes, quietly watching the people coming and going.

The palace door was wide open, with dozens of Qi-refining monks standing on both sides, and more than a dozen monks standing in the air, scattered in all directions.

These monks were full of spiritual energy, at least in the middle stage of foundation building. Among them, there were two Jindan monks, looking down at the crowd with vigilant eyes.

Countless monks poured into the hall, talking and laughing incessantly, noisy and noisy.

Chen Yuan mixed in the crowd and walked forward slowly, feeling the powerful pressure hanging above his head, and couldn't help but feel awe in his heart.

The auction was about to begin, and thousands of monks gathered here.

In order to avoid trouble, the three major sects behind Fanyang Market were extremely careful and arranged many disciples to be on duty and patrol.

There were also Nascent Soul cultivators who personally sat at the auction site, exuding a faint pressure, reminding the cultivators participating in the auction not to have any disloyalty.

However, this pressure can only be felt by Jindan cultivators, and only they are truly capable of disrupting the auction.

Chen Yuan's mind emerged with the records of these three sects. Fanyang Market is located in the Fanyang Mountains, which stretches for hundreds of miles. There is a large spiritual vein in the mountains, but it is not occupied by a large sect, but shared by three medium-sized sects.

These three sects have always advanced and retreated together. There are as many as seven or eight Nascent Soul cultivators in the sect, which is enough to rival a large sect, and has been passed down for thousands of years and has stood firm.

Perhaps it is precisely because Fanyang Market was jointly founded by three sects, checks and balances each other, is fair, and has an outstanding reputation that it can hold an auction once every ten years. It is quite famous throughout Renzhou, and even many large sects' markets cannot compare.

Chen Yuan entered the hall, took out a jade token from the mustard seed ring, and handed it to a young female cultivator.

There were more than a dozen young and beautiful female cultivators beside him, all of whom were below the seventh level of Qi Refining, and were checking the jade tokens in the hands of other cultivators.

To participate in the auction, one needs to pay thirty low-grade spirit stones to buy a jade token, which excludes many low-level cultivators who have low financial resources and just want to watch the excitement.

The young female cultivator took Chen Yuan's jade token and looked down. The jade token was pure green, with fairy birds and auspicious beasts engraved on one side and the three words "Fifty-six" engraved on the other side.

She immediately showed a respectful look on her face: "Senior, please follow me."

She bowed slightly, handed the jade token back to Chen Yuan with both hands, and then turned and walked into the hall with a graceful figure.

The hall was brightly lit, with a circular skylight structure, the middle leading directly to the top of the hall, and three layers around it.

In the center of the hall on the first floor, there is a low-lying square platform surrounded by dozens of high platforms. The further out, the higher it gets, like a mountain road spiraling up. On it, there are chairs placed one after another, about ten feet apart. The outermost circle of high platforms is dozens of feet away from the square platform in the middle.

However, with the sharp eyesight of the cultivators, they can still easily see the square platform in the middle.

Most of the chairs on the dozens of high platforms on the first floor are already occupied. The cultivators who entered the hall later walked down the high platforms one after another, looking for their seats.

These cultivators only have Qi Refining cultivation, without exception.

Chen Yuan followed the young female cultivator and walked up the stairs to the second floor.

The structure here is the same as the first floor, with circles of high platforms extending one after another, but the number of cultivators is much smaller, only thousands of people, all of whom are foundation-building cultivators.

They are not sitting on chairs, but on silk cushions. In front of them are tables made of precious wood, on which are placed spiritual tea and spiritual fruits.

Chen Yuan continued to walk up to the third floor. There were no circles of high platforms here, but boxes arranged in order. There were also several female cultivators leading other cultivators in front.

He followed the young female cultivator until he came to box No. 59, and then stopped.

The two wooden doors of the box were tightly closed. The young female cultivator turned around, bowed, and said softly: "Please take out the jade card, senior."

Chen Yuan showed the jade card, which was slightly lit, and the light on the wooden door flowed and slowly opened.

The two walked in. The four corners of the box were burning with candles as thick as a child's arm, illuminating the room as bright as day.

There was a soft couch in the middle, and on the table in front of it, there was a formation plate about the size of a foot.

Next to it were spiritual tea and spiritual fruits, as well as a purple copper incense burner, with light smoke curling around, and the box was filled with a faint fragrance, refreshing the heart.

The young female cultivator said respectfully: "Senior, the water curtain technique has been cast on this array plate. It can be activated by injecting true energy, and you can see the scene in the hall."

"The treasure you bid will be delivered to the box and handed over to you on the spot."

"All the boxes on the third floor are set up with arrays. You don't have to worry about being spied on by others, but please don't spy on others at will."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly: "You can go down."

"Yes, I wish you a fruitful return." The young female cultivator bowed and bowed to leave the box, gently closing the door.

Chen Yuan lifted his lapel, sat on the couch, raised his hand and injected a wisp of true energy into the array plate.

The array plate hummed and lit up slightly. A white water curtain slowly rose, about three feet wide and one foot high, showing the scene in the hall clearly, with every detail visible.

Chen Yuan nodded with satisfaction, leaned on the back of the couch, and waited for the auction to begin.

Only Jindan cultivators can enter the private room on the third floor, so there is no need to worry about being disturbed.

Half an hour later, the first and second floors of the hall were filled with monks. No more monks entered the hall, and the door slowly closed.

The monks who had been on patrol outside the main hall also followed in and stood on the first and second floors of the main hall.

Several other foundation-building monks stood around the square platform, facing all directions, standing with their hands behind their backs, looking serious.

An old man in his fifties walked slowly to the square platform. His body was full of inspiration and he had the cultivation level of the early stage of pill formation.

This man is dressed in red robes, has kind eyes and kind eyes, and is full of smiles, which makes people feel very friendly.

He made a four-way bow and said in a loud voice: "Today, all the fellow Taoists gathered together are here for the auction conference. Fan Yang Auction has been held dozens of times. You must already know the rules. If there are any first-time participants, Please also check the records in the jade tablet, I won’t go into details, the auction begins now!”

He raised his hand, and ten jade bottles appeared in front of him. They tilted slightly, and a hundred mixed black and white pills flew out.

The old man in red robe said: "It's still the same old rules. Next is the C-word auction, one hundred foundation-building pills, which are divided into ten groups of ten pills for auction. The following is the first group. The base price is two hundred yuan of medium-grade spiritual stones. Each The price increase must not be less than five medium-grade spiritual stones!”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone started bidding on the second floor: "I'll give you two hundred and ten mid-grade spiritual stones!"

"Two hundred and thirty dollars!"

"Two hundred and thirty-five yuan..."

Foundation-building pills are always in short supply. Jiuxianzhou is full of spiritual energy, there are many mortals with spiritual roots, and there are also many Qi-refining monks, so the demand for foundation-building pills is also greater.

The first set of Foundation Establishment Pills was finally bought by a late-stage Foundation Establishment monk and sold for 335 pieces of medium-grade spiritual stones.

There were also many bidders for the subsequent nine groups of Foundation Establishment Pills, and the bidding became more and more intense as they went on. The last group of Foundation Establishment Pills actually fetched a high price of 380 pieces of mid-grade spiritual stones.

Such enthusiastic bidding directly ignited the atmosphere of the auction meeting. After the Foundation Establishment Pill, the red-robed old man took out a top-quality magic weapon of excellent quality, which attracted the Qi Refining monks on the first floor of the hall to bid one after another.

From then on, most of the treasures that the red-robed old man took out were related to Qi Refining monks. They were either top-grade magic weapons, top-grade magic talismans, or extremely precious low-grade spiritual materials.

The foundation-building monks on the second floor rarely participated in the bidding, and the pill-forming monks in the private rooms on the third floor were even more silent.

This is the characteristic of Fan Yang's auction, which is divided into three categories: A, B, and C, which are suitable for alchemy-forming monks, foundation-building monks, and qi-refining monks respectively.

About 30% of the auction items are in the C category, which are suitable for Qi Refining monks. More than half of them are provided by the three major sects themselves, attracting many low-level monks to come here to participate in the auction.

It took a full day and a half to complete the auction of more than four hundred C-numbered lots, followed by the B-numbered lots suitable for foundation-building monks.

Chen Yuan bought several spiritual materials suitable for refining flying swords, all of which were quite rare on the market.

Before Li Qingshan upgraded the flying sword to a low-grade spiritual weapon, he no longer needed to collect spiritual materials on his own.

After the red-robed old man took out the B-lot, the Qi Refining monks on the first floor of the hall were unable to participate in the bidding. They could only look at the Foundation-building monks on the second floor with envy as they bought precious treasures one after another.

The pill-forming monks in the third-floor box also began to participate in the bidding. They themselves could not use these treasures, but they could give them to younger disciples.

The foundation-building monks on the second floor of the main hall were all in tears. With their financial resources, there was no way they could compete with the alchemy-building monks.

Chen Yuan also made several attempts to buy several kinds of three-hundred-year-old and five-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs needed to refine the Demon Yuan Dan.

These kinds of spiritual herbs are relatively rare and not easy to buy in the market. They are also the main medicine for refining foundation-building elixirs. They attracted many foundation-building monks to bid, but they were all easily defeated by Chen Yuan.

In addition, there were several spiritual materials suitable for refining flying swords, but Chen Yuan ignored them.

Li Qingshan has his own path to follow, and he cannot do everything for his apprentice.

There were a lot more items in the B section than in the C section, with more than 700 items in total. It took nearly three days to complete the auction.

Dozens of them were photographed by Danjie monks, and they are still the most precious ones.

After four days, the monks who participated in the auction were still in high spirits.

The monk was full of energy, and it was nothing to stay awake for several days.

Even if the Qi Refining cultivators on the first floor were unable to bid, it was an eye-opener for them to see many rare treasures and enjoy them with gusto.

Next is the real highlight, more than a hundred pieces of A-shaped items suitable for Danjie monks, each one is priceless.

Chen Yuan sat up straight and looked at the clear water curtain, his eyes a little more solemn.

The red-robed old man raised his sleeves and flicked, and a jade slip appeared in front of him. He said loudly: "Next is the auction item A, the water movement technique "Canglang Song". It has a complete inheritance and can be practiced to the late Nascent Soul stage."

"It comes with thirteen secret magical powers, ranging from the foundation building stage to the Nascent Soul stage, as well as four refining methods for natal magic weapons."

"The cultivator's true energy is strong and pure. This technique is enough to be passed down as a large-scale sect. The base price is one hundred high-grade spiritual stones, and each increase in price must not be less than ten high-grade spiritual stones!" (End of this chapter)
