The Path to Immortality

Suddenly, another competitor appeared and also added a thousand spirit stones in one breath. Not to mention the other competitors and the foundation-building cultivators who were watching the fun, even Fang Ping couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

However, Fang Ping has never been afraid of anyone in terms of financial strength.

He tapped his finger on the water mirror magic weapon and added five thousand spirit stones in one breath, directly raising the price to thirty thousand!

And the mysterious black-robed cultivator and the previous late-stage foundation-building body cultivator, after a brief hesitation, were unwilling to be outdone and raised the price one after another, showing a posture of competing with Fang Ping to the end.

There was no need for Cai Zhen, the auctioneer, to encourage them at all. The three of them raised the price all the way to forty thousand spirit stones.

Although the Seven-Veined Blood Ginseng Grass is a spiritual grass of the level of natural treasures, it can greatly speed up the practice of body-building exercises, but for cultivators at the Golden Core level and above, its effect is relatively limited.

Such a spiritual grass can be sold at a price of forty thousand low-grade spirit stones, which is actually amazing.

The late-stage foundation-building cultivator, though unwilling, had to withdraw from the competition due to financial constraints.

Only the black-robed cultivator was left, with a gloomy face, and he kept looking at the private room where Fang Ping was. He wanted to give up, but was very hesitant.

"Forty-one thousand spirit stones, if there is no higher price, the Seven-veined Blood Ginseng Grass will belong to the Taoist friend on the third floor!"

Cai Zhen confirmed again and again.

Hearing his words, the black-robed cultivator gritted his teeth and quoted a price of forty-three thousand spirit stones.

This was the maximum price he could afford.

However, for Fang Ping, who had the Yuan Ding in his hand and could make spirit stones as easily as printing money, tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones were just a number.

Fang Ping did not hesitate and raised the price by another thousand spirit stones.

Faced with the momentum he showed, the black-robed cultivator finally stopped competing. He stomped his feet with a little resentment, then got up from his seat and left the auction house.

In the end, Fang Ping bought this spiritual herb at the price of 44,000 low-grade spiritual stones.

This price was undoubtedly the highest price since the auction began, and it really caused quite a stir!

In particular, when they recognized that Fang Ping had made a bid before and spent tens of thousands of spiritual stones to buy an item, the exploration, speculation, curiosity, and even undisguised malice of many eyes became more intense.

Several obviously familiar foundation-building cultivators were even exchanging glances secretly, preparing to leave the auction before the end and set up an ambush outside the Xianzhou Market to see if they could squat on this "fat sheep".

No one could resist the temptation of a walking human-shaped spiritual stone mine!

………

After winning the Yangyan Spirit Fire Spell and the Seven-Veined Blood Ginseng Grass, and then spending spiritual stones to buy two puppet mechanical beasts with the combat power of the first-stage late stage, there was nothing particularly attractive to Fang Ping on the first day of the auction.

However, in the next auction, there were still auction items that Fang Ping entrusted with a fake identity, so he did not rush to leave. Instead, he paid attention to the subsequent auction process while distracting himself to comprehend the new spells.

As listed on the auction list, the next dozens of auction items either overlapped with what Fang Ping already had or had defects of one kind or another, which were not enough to impress him.

Finally, at the end of the first day of the auction, the auction item entrusted by Fang Ping made a grand appearance.

It was a furnace of four foundation-building pills!

Although this item was useless to the foundation-building cultivators present, to some extent, it was of great significance to those cultivators from families and sects.

With it, there is a chance to cultivate several disciples and clansmen in the foundation-building period, so that the family and power can continue!

Moreover, in order to make the auction more intense as much as possible, rather than several competitors taking turns to become monks and bid for one each, Fang Ping deliberately added a limit when entrusting this auction item, and it was not allowed to be bid alone.

Either you can't buy any, or you can buy a whole furnace!

This move clearly shows that the winner takes all, forcing those forces who are interested in obtaining the foundation-building pill to fight with all their might.

And this move is indeed effective.

The forces that coveted these foundation-building pills, knowing that this rule is ill-intentioned, still began to scramble for them immediately under the temptation.

Even some sects and cultivator families that are familiar with each other realized that their financial resources are not enough to bid for a whole furnace of foundation-building pills alone, so they began to connect on the spot, intending to pool money to bid together, and then distribute the elixir according to the proportion of investment.

After a brief chaos, the price started to rise wildly from the starting price of 50,000 spirit stones, and there was no end in sight.

Watching the forces fighting desperately for the pills they made casually, it was a very good feeling.

Fang Ping, who dominated this scene, sat in the private room with peace of mind. While watching the rising numbers, he occasionally fished in troubled waters and followed the price, trying to drive up the bid as much as possible.

In the end, this furnace of foundation-building pills was jointly bought by two foundation-building forces with some background at an astonishingly high price.

Seeing that everyone's focus was attracted by these foundation-building pills, Cai Zhen, who was hosting the auction, had to wait a little longer before continuing the remaining auctions.

It was almost late at night when the final lot of the first day of the auction finally appeared.

It was the second-level refining inheritance that was first leaked!

It not only contained a complete inheritance of the weapon path, but also came with no less than dozens of drawings of various spiritual weapons and magic weapons.

As long as it could be won, it could immediately become the inheritance foundation of a family or force.

For this reason, as soon as the details of the auction item were introduced, it attracted many forces to compete for it.

However, the attraction of this item to Fang Ping was almost zero.

Today, he had won three items in a row, which was quite eye-catching. He stood up and prepared to leave, and would come back tomorrow with a different identity.

Seeing Fang Ping leave the private room, more than one group of foundation-building cultivators in the venue were eager to leave.

Some planned to follow him secretly, or to ambush him directly outside the Xianzhou Market, to see if they could be lucky enough to see Fang Ping.

However, when they chased out of the auction venue, they found that the physical cultivator with a clear appearance had disappeared out of thin air.

Even the robbery cultivator who had been waiting outside the market did not see Fang Ping at all, so he could only target other foundation-building cultivators who participated in the auction.

That night, foundation-building-level battles broke out in several places outside the Xianzhou Market.

………

The next morning.

After a four-hour break, which also gave the cultivators time to communicate and raise spirit stones, the auction was able to continue.

This time, Fang Ping changed into another identity, holding the invitation letter given by the Third Princess, and entered another private room on the fifth floor.

Because the last item to be auctioned was located in the middle and later part of the second day, he did not pay too much attention to the situation outside at the beginning.

But what he did not expect was that not long after the opening, the host temporarily added a new item.

"The next item is the alchemy notes found by a fellow Taoist in the cave of a second-level alchemist [Ge Dongsheng] who was a casual cultivator a thousand years ago."
