Beast-controlling fairy clan.

Chapter 341 Soul-Fixing Pill [Subscription Request]

"It's really shady. Just the qualification to participate in the auction costs one thousand spirit coins. It's simply robbery!"

After walking out of the door of "Hui Hai Trading Company", Zhou Chun couldn't help but complain out loud when thinking about his experience inside.

This was definitely the most expensive admission he had ever seen.

Based on this price, I'm afraid that by then I can receive tens or even millions of spirit coins just from the entrance fee.

This is much faster than robbing money!
"This auction only happens once every hundred years. Even ordinary third-tier magic tools are not eligible for the auction. Although the entry price is a bit expensive, it is still acceptable."

Zhou Daoyi was open-minded and didn't care too much about it. He just waved his hand and said, "Let's go. Since this private room comes with a yard, we don't have to spend money to find another place to stay. Let's just stay there first!"

The attached yard is certainly not a good place.

Its location can be said to be the most remote area in the market town, in an alley at the end of a small street, and it has only three rooms.

Fortunately, this is a courtyard inside the "Xiandu Market" after all, and a complete set of separate warning and protection formations are configured, which is enough to ensure that the cultivators passing by outside will not see the scene in the courtyard as soon as they release their spiritual sense.

Zhou Chun and the other three were only staying here temporarily, so they didn't complain. They just set up a new set of protective formations themselves before they felt at ease to stay there.

During the next month, none of the three had the heart to practice in seclusion in their residence, and they all wandered around in this "Xiandu Market".

I have to say, there is a reason why this place is so prosperous.

In order to sell some things in exchange for spirit coins, Zhou Chun visited many shops, and what he saw and heard opened his eyes.

For example, in Jingguo Lanzhou, if he wanted to buy elixirs that could improve the magic power of a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, in most cases he could only obtain them through some underground bidding meetings and underground Yibao meetings, or publicly held auctions.

But in this "Xiandu Market", many big stores sell this kind of medicine, but the price is slightly higher.

Even for Foundation Establishment Pills, some stores claim that they can accept pre-orders and guarantee delivery within three years.

Of course, the price of this kind of reservation is also relatively high, ten thousand spirit coins per piece!
In addition, as for magical instruments, third-tier instruments can be easily purchased in many large stores, not to mention second-tier instruments.

There are even some shops that accept customized magic tools and guarantee successful refining. If it is unsuccessful, there is no charge, but the price is still very high!
Other high-end products like talismans and formations can be purchased in this "Xiandu Market" and are also much easier to obtain than in Jingguo.

If the world of immortal cultivation is also divided into developed and underdeveloped areas, then Jingguo is undoubtedly the underdeveloped area.

If Zhou Chun had not now wanted to concentrate his funds on purchasing spiritual objects to assist in opening up the Purple Mansion, he would have wanted to take the opportunity to make a large purchase in this "Xiandu Market".

In his opinion, although many things here are very expensive, it is still acceptable if they can be bought directly with spirit coins.

After all, many things in Jingguo are hard to buy even with spirit coins.

Thanks to the prosperous business environment of "Xiandu Market", many of Zhou Chun's rare spiritual objects were sold at a good price.

You have to know that funding Lin Hongyu to form the elixir has emptied the Zhou family's working capital, and a family as big as the Zhou family certainly cannot let its working capital dry up.

Therefore, when Zhou Chun came to the Great Zhou Kingdom this time, he also brought a lot of rare spiritual objects that his family had saved, and planned to sell them in exchange for spiritual coins to supplement the family's working capital.

These include the Musk Fragrance that can remove foul evil spirits, the "Soul-Cleansing Spirit Water" produced by the Soul-Cleansing Water Monster in Longyuanze, and many rare treasures that the Zhou family obtained from the wilderness and Longyuanze.

As long as you are willing to sell these rare and spiritual objects, basically there is nothing that cannot be sold.

Although there are many treasures in the "Xiandu Market", rare spiritual objects like this are in short supply and difficult to obtain easily.

Therefore, Zhou Chun not only sold the items easily, but also sold them at a price far beyond his previous expectations.

What he didn't dare let Lin Hongyu know was that the number of spirit coins in his hand had now exceeded 200,000!

This is all thanks to his good Taoist partner.

When Su Yuzhen heard that he wanted to borrow spirit coins to buy spiritual objects to open up the Purple Mansion, he gave him all the spirit coins he had without saying a word.

The Jiangzhou Su family is a Jindan family. They have always been generous in distributing spirit coins to their clansmen as welfare offerings. Su Yuzhen is a Purple Mansion period cultivator. Every year, the Su family alone distributes 500 spirit coins to her as welfare offerings.

And there was basically no place where she needed to spend spirit coins.

So she alone lent more than 47,000 spirit coins to Zhou Chun!
Time flies, and soon a month has passed.

On the day when the grand auction was about to begin, Zhou Chun and the other two went to the auction venue early.

The auction venue was just behind the Hui Hai Trading Company where they had purchased the token certificate that day. It was a circular stone building similar to the Colosseum, except that it was much smaller and did not have as many grandstand seats.

After Zhou Chun and his team checked the token certificate, they were taken to a stone chamber on the lower level of the auction venue.

The number "Fifty-Seven" is written on the doorplate of the stone chamber, representing the number of this private room.

The space inside is not big, and it would be crowded if six or seven people sit in it.

Opposite the other side of the stone door they came in from was the auction table. A specially made crystal floor-to-ceiling window allowed them to clearly see the central auction table and some of the seats on the stands.

However, due to the special refining process of the crystal floor-to-ceiling windows, they could not see what was going on inside the private room through the crystal floor-to-ceiling windows of the room opposite.

Moreover, the walls of the stone chamber and the crystal floor-to-ceiling windows of the private room have the function of blocking spiritual detection, so their spiritual sense cannot detect out of the private room.

But in order to make it easier for them to bid and hear the sounds from the auction table, a crystal ball and a conch shell were placed in the stone chamber.

Neither of these two magical instruments requires refining. If you want to make an offer, just take the crystal ball in your hand, inject your mana and spiritual consciousness into it, and indicate the price.

The conch shell is used to convey the sound from the auction table.

"Although it's a bit expensive, it does have its advantages. Sitting here to participate in the auction is much safer and more comfortable than sitting in that seat!"

Zhou Daoyi nodded slightly and said, then sat down on the armchair placed beside him.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun and Lin Hongyu also sat down on their chairs.

After waiting for nearly two hours, most of the seats in the auction hall were occupied.

Because it was a formal auction, most of the monks sitting in the seats did not cover their faces, only a few covered their faces.

At this time, a charming and sexy woman in a red dress quickly landed on the originally empty auction table. She should be the auctioneer of today's auction.

I saw that the beautiful woman in the red dress was tall, with a curvy figure. The red dress she was wearing was translucent, and the scenery inside was faintly visible, which was extremely alluring.

After she landed on the auction table, she bowed and saluted to all four sides, then smiled charmingly and said, "My name is Liu Mengyan, nice to meet you fellow Taoists."

The voice was soft and charming, like the laugh of a fox. After introducing herself, the beautiful woman in the red dress started to speak some polite words, and then talked about the rules of the auction.

And she obviously knew that not many people liked to hear these words, so she spoke very quickly.

After finishing all the necessary nonsense in one breath, she giggled and quickly got to the point.

She just raised her hand and a black stone box appeared out of thin air in front of her. Then the lid of the box opened automatically, revealing a green animal egg inside.

"My fellow Taoists, please look. This is the first treasure of today, the egg of the high-level demon beast Poison Dragon Lizard."

The beautiful woman in the red skirt introduced the name of the beast egg and explained:

“Many Taoist friends who have come from afar may not know about the poisonous dragon lizard. It is a ferocious monster that lives on the Duolan grassland. Its poisonous magical power is comparable to that of a poisonous dragon of the same level. It can easily poison a Purple Mansion cultivator of the same level. Even if a Golden Core cultivator is accidentally infected with its poison, it will take a lot of damage to his vitality before it can be eliminated.”

"This poisonous dragon lizard egg was found on the Dolan grassland by a Jindan-stage cultivator. It is absolutely authentic!"

At this point, she smiled and said, "Okay, now the auction starts. The reserve price is 80,000 spirit coins, and each bid must not be less than 1,000 spirit coins!"

As soon as the words were spoken, people started bidding.

Every time someone made a bid, the beautiful woman in a red dress on the stage would tell the other party the price in a sweet voice and use some tempting words to induce more people to bid.

In Room 57, Zhou Daoyi listened to the sound coming from the conch magic weapon and looked at the monster egg in the stone box on the auction table. He said thoughtfully, "This reminds us that since we have finally come to the Great Zhou Kingdom, we must buy some monster illustrations here and bring them back to enrich the family's collection and broaden the horizons of our clan members."

Hearing this, Zhou Chun nodded in agreement and said, "Grand Elder, you are right. This is indeed necessary. I will do it myself after the auction is over."

Then, they watched as the price of the poisonous dragon lizard's egg continued to rise, and it was finally auctioned for a high price of 195,000 spirit coins, and was bought by a monk in a private room.

This price is actually not that outrageous. After all, as long as a high-level monster does not die young, it can definitely become a third-level monster.

For a force, it is completely worthwhile to spend 200,000 spirit coins and a hundred years to obtain a loyal and powerful third-level monster.

After the poisonous dragon lizard egg was auctioned off, the beautiful woman in a red dress, Liu Mengyan, on the stage, immediately took out the second item for auction.

It was a sharp silver-white flying sword.

Liu Mengyan suspended the flying sword in front of her, stretched out her slender jade fingers and flicked the sword, making it emit a crisp tinkling sound.

He then introduced: "The third-level top-grade magic weapon Silver Soul-Splitting Sword is a sword of killing. It is a top-grade flying sword made by a Jindan-stage cultivator using Hundred-Refined Black Iron as the main material and refined through his own Dan Fire. In order to increase its sharpness and hardness, two taels of iron essence were added!"

"This sword itself has an extremely sharp effect, which can stimulate the sword energy and increase its power by 30%. It can withstand 80% of the mana of an early Jindan cultivator without damaging the sword body!"

"The starting price is 50,000 spirit coins, and each bid must not be less than 1,000 spirit coins!"

Soon after the words were spoken, a monk sitting in the seat started to bid loudly.

There was no barrier between the seats and the auction table, and the voice from above was clearly transmitted to each private room, so there was no need for Liu Mengyan to repeat it herself.

Those who participated in the auction of the Silver Soul-Splitting Sword were mainly the monks sitting in the seats.

Zhou Daoyi watched the fierce bidding process and suddenly remembered something. He turned his head slightly to look at Zhou Chun and said, "I remember that our family also got a piece of iron essence from the Zhang family. It seems to be half a pound?"

"There is such a thing. The iron is worth six ounces and seven cents!"

Zhou Chun nodded slightly, confirming his words.

Hearing this answer, Zhou Daoyi couldn't help but glance at Lin Hongyu and said nothing more.

His action made Lin Hongyu stunned at first, but then a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

When Zhou Chun saw this, he instantly understood what Zhou Daoyi meant.

He smiled and said, "No one in the family can use that piece of iron essence if it stays in the family. When Elder Lin succeeds in forming the elixir, we can give it to Elder Lin to use in refining his own magic weapon!"

Hearing this, Lin Hongyu couldn't help but squinted and smiled: "Hehe, it's a bit early to talk about this now, let's talk about it later!"

Having said that, looking at the smile on her face, it was obvious that she was very touched by Zhou Daoyi's kindness.

This made Zhou Chun secretly admire the methods of his elder Zhou Daoyi.

It was obvious that Zhou Daoyi was using the same method he had used to win over his clansmen on his fellow Taoist Lin Hongyu.

And the effect looks very good.

Just like that, Zhou Chun and the other two, with a clear purpose, watched in the private room as Liu Mengyan took out precious and rare treasures one after another and sold them at high prices.

During this time, the three of them commented on some of the treasures, but none of them had any intention of bidding.

This continued until the eighth auction item appeared.

On the auction table, Liu Mengyan waved her jade hand, and a jade bottle appeared in her hand.

Then he slowly said, "One [Soul-Fixing Pill] that can help open up the Purple Palace has a starting price of 50,000 spirit coins, and each bid must not be less than 1,000 spirit coins."

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Chun in room 57 suddenly became excited.

On the stands, a cultivator in the late foundation building stage shouted, "I'll pay 60,000 spirit coins!"

"Sixty-five thousand spirit coins!"

Another monk sitting in the seat also raised the price, and the competition was very fierce.

Seeing this, Zhou Daoyi in the private room handed the crystal ball to Zhou Chun and said, "Zhengchun, come on your own!"

"Junior understands."

Zhou Chun responded, immediately took the crystal ball, injected his magic power and spiritual consciousness into it, and quoted his price.

"Ninety-five thousand spirit coins. Room 57 is offering ninety-five thousand spirit coins. Is there a higher price? The [Soul-Fixing Pill] not only helps to open up the Purple Palace, but can also save lives in some cases!"

On the auction table, Liu Mengyan, a beautiful woman in a red dress, was announcing the price Zhou Chun had offered, while at the same time trying to induce other cultivators to raise their prices with a tone full of temptation.
