The Path to Becoming Immortal

"Rumors? For the sake of immortality, what's there to fear about rumors? It's just that I'm not interested in this for the time being!" Ning Ping said disdainfully.

When he saw that the other party wanted to say something again, Ning Ping continued to speak frankly.

"To be honest with you, Daoyou, if I can have the protection of the Holy Land, I will naturally be able to relieve a lot of pressure! But I have always been used to freedom! Maybe one day I want to join the Holy Land, and I have to ask Brother Yu for help!"

"Haha, then my Holy Land will be more than happy to have you! With the addition of Brother Ning, the master of alchemy, I will have the upper hand in the future in terms of elixirs!"

After hearing this, Yu Tianxiao also knew that it was useless to say more at this moment, and he readily stopped mentioning the opportunity of the Holy Land.

"By the way, I came here to ask for pills..."

"I understand what Brother Yu is thinking, but you also know that some pills are mainly limited by spiritual medicines. For example, the Qingxu Pill I made before, if you want me to make another batch of pills now, I'm afraid it's hard for a good cook to cook without rice."

Seeing the other party's slightly disappointed expression, Ning Ping said with a move in his heart.

"In fact, some spiritual medicines are powerful, but those ordinary pills are the real needs of cultivators! Those are just icing on the cake, Brother Yu, don't you think so!"

"Brother Ning's words make sense..."

The two then chatted about some topics like pills. As for the cooperation matters, of course, Ning Ping pushed them to the Gu family one by one.

Afterwards, Yu Tianxiao also said goodbye and left.

"How are you going to deal with the Holy Land in the future?" As soon as the people were sent away, Gu Qing went into the room.

"Holy Land... Let's take a long-term view!" Ning Ping also frowned.

Although affected by the rumors that were spread, ordinary cultivators don't care about your dangers.

It is a dream come true to be able to obtain the opportunity of the Holy Land. Besides, those who have obtained the opportunity of the Holy Land have actually obtained the improvement of their cultivation.

How could a mere rumor completely stop the monks' yearning steps? At most, it would affect some monks and cause trouble to the Holy Land.

…………

The next day, the Merchant Alliance Auction was held as scheduled.

It seemed that all the monks gathered in the huge auction venue of Wanling City on this day.

The auction venue, which can accommodate a full million people, was already full of people early.

There are more people who only join in the fun outside the venue, and the various hawking sounds are intertwined, like a huge open-air trading market.

As the chief alchemist of the Gu family, there is no need to squeeze with them.

When the auction was about to start, Ning Ping and Gu Dang and others stepped directly onto a teleportation array.

After a slight distortion of space, when they appeared again, they had already appeared in a VIP room on the top floor.

The room was extremely quiet, but when the divine sense penetrated the restriction and probed outside, the noisy sound outside filled the entire auction venue.

The entire auction venue was like a gladiatorial arena, and the descending stairs below were filled with all kinds of cultivators.

In the center of the hundred feet below was a huge platform, where the auction items were displayed.

All the cultivators sat around the central platform, and the top floor was a series of VIP rooms occupied by various forces.

I also found the room where Ji Wanning was in Piaomiao Pavilion, but I didn't notice Ji Wanning.

While I was observing, I also clearly sensed that there were several powerful divine consciousnesses wandering in the venue.

Secretly sensing, the owners of these divine consciousnesses have all reached the fusion stage.

These are the powerful cultivators who maintain the smooth progress of the auction, and they are also the forces hidden in the dark by the Chamber of Commerce.

These powerful cultivators cooperate with the Chamber of Commerce. On weekdays, all the needs for cultivation are provided by the Chamber of Commerce, and they don't have to worry about other matters.

They are needed when facing things that cannot be solved, and it is precisely because of their existence that they can deter a group of villains.

Looking around, in the elegant room above, the Yun family, the Holy Land and other forces have all arrived.

Upon closer inspection, even some forces far away in Qinglan Star have rushed over. Taiqing Sect, Fenghun Pavilion, and Luoshen Sect have all seen his figure.

However, Xuanyue Sword Sect did not see it.

Many people kept looking at the elegant room where Ning Ping was, but they were blocked by the ban and could not see anything inside.

At this time, a red meat mountain walked out and climbed onto the platform in the center below, and the whole venue suddenly became quiet.

"Dear Taoist friends! I am Gu Yuantu from the Chamber of Commerce. Many precious items have been prepared for this auction..."

This auction was hosted by Gu Yuantu. After he roughly introduced the auction rules, he didn't say anything more and directly announced the start of the auction.

"...Okay, I won't waste my words. I'm afraid many Taoist friends can't wait! The auction will start now!"

As the voice fell, the whole venue was boiling in an instant.

"Okay!"

"I can't wait!"

"It's finally started!"

A crack appeared in the center of the stone platform, and a stone platform rose up, with five exquisite jade boxes on it.

"I believe many Taoist friends know that the chief alchemist of my Gu family has refined a super-grade elixir. My Gu family promised on the spot that all the super-grade elixirs refined will be auctioned."

As he spoke, others also came to the stone platform, and everyone was looking forward to it.

"So, the first auction item is... the super-grade plastic infant pill!"

With a light wave of Gu Yuantu's hand, all the jade boxes were instantly opened, revealing the crystal clear pills inside.

Instantly, the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth in the entire venue became active, and everyone stretched their necks to watch.

Upon closer inspection, the aura of the pills was restrained, and there were clearly visible pill patterns on the surface of the pills.

"Ah... It's really a super-grade plastic infant pill."

"I can't believe that the first item to be auctioned is a super-grade pill!"

Hearing the crowd's voices, Gu Yuantu was very satisfied and let everyone take a closer look.

Then he gently picked up a jade box.

"Super-grade plastic infant pill, no lower price, auction starts now!"

But as soon as the voice fell, someone in the crowd shouted.

"One hundred spirit stones!"

All of a sudden, everyone looked over strangely.

"You don't really think you can bid with one hundred spirit stones! You can shout it out!"

"Ten thousand spirit stones!"

"One hundred thousand spirit stones!"

"Twenty thousand spirit stones!"

"Two hundred thousand!"

"Five hundred thousand!"

"Three hundred thousand!"

"Eight hundred thousand!"

"One million!"

The price rose rapidly, and in the blink of an eye it had broken through a million.

Even many bids were doubled before they could be called out.

The number of people bidding gradually decreased, but it was still rising and falling.

After five million, the number of people bidding decreased significantly.

In the end, the first Plastic Infant Pill was sold at a high price of eight million, and it undoubtedly fell into the hands of some forces.

The auction continued, and with the first transaction, the bidding was obviously much faster.
