Chapter 512: One Million Spiritual Coins [Added for Alliance Leader Kyo1027]

The goal of speeding up the collection of [Taiyi Xuanjin Qi] was achieved, which made Zhou Chun feel relieved.

This was the most urgent thing he had to do when he came to the Great Zhou Kingdom.

As long as this thing is done, everything else will be easy.

In order to thank Sun Yuanjing for his help, and also to let him work harder to help him collect [Taiyi Xuanjin Qi] in the future.

Zhou Chun specially sold a batch of precious spiritual objects he brought with him to Tianbao Pavilion.

These spiritual objects include precious items such as the spiritual fragrance of the fragrant musk deer, rare treasures from the waters of Longyuanze, and specialties such as the Zhou family's specialty, the honey flower tea pill.

For shops like Tianbao Pavilion, doing high-end business with them is actually not as helpful to their shops as some mid- to low-end businesses.

For example, the large quantities of spiritual objects that Zhou Chun is now selling to them are all rare treasures that are hard to find in other stores, and are suitable for the various realms of Qi Refining, Foundation Building, and Purple Mansion.

If Tianbao Pavilion could put these spiritual objects on sale and publicize them widely, it would surely attract a lot of traffic, thereby boosting the sales of other items.

As far as Zhou Chun knows, many large stores do this. They launch some new spiritual items every once in a while to attract popularity and maintain their reputation and industry status.

Otherwise, if there is no innovation and the store is not running a unique monopoly business, no matter how famous it is, it will gradually decline.

Sun Yuanjing was also very satisfied with the spiritual objects sold by Zhou Chun. He was happy to accept his reward and the transaction price he offered was not low.

Afterwards, he vowed that he would be able to help Zhou Chun collect all the remaining [Taiyi Xuanjin Qi] within three years.

After making a deal that was satisfactory to both parties, Zhou Chun went to Xiandufang City again, preparing to participate in the big auction.

When Zhou Chun first came to the Great Zhou Kingdom, he went to Xiandu Market to participate in a once-in-a-century auction.

But at that time he was basically a spectator, and even though he had more than 200,000 spirit coins, he didn't buy anything.

Now, more than a hundred years have passed since I participated in the grand auction, and the once-in-a-century grand auction in Xiandufang City has begun again.

This time Zhou Chun came well prepared, with millions of dollars in his pocket, and vowed to make a difference in this grand auction!

Unlike the last time they attended the big auction, several people squeezed into a small private room and spent 5,000 spirit coins to buy admission tickets.

This time, after Zhou Chun participated in the auction as a Jindan-stage cultivator, he was directly arranged a private room for free. There was even a maid in the room with foundation-building cultivation level who could help him bid.

But the same thing is that the person hosting the auction this time is still a female cultivator, who is also charming and has the kind of appearance and temperament that can easily arouse male desire.

Zhou Chun had no interest in the treasures that appeared before the auction and just looked at them indifferently.

It was not until the auction entered the second half that items worthy of the attention of these Jindan stage cultivators were taken out.

At the auction table, the auctioneer opened the jade box, and a talisman emitting a hazy white light appeared in the sight of the cultivators, and then he introduced the origin of this item.

"A fourth-level low-grade magic talisman [Thousand Illusion Cloud Sea Talisman], a rare magic talisman drawn by a fourth-level talisman-making master. This talisman is a rare psychedelic magic talisman that can trap enemies. Once used, a thousand acres of sea of ​​clouds will bloom to surround the enemy. After a Jindan early stage cultivator is trapped in the sea of ​​clouds, it will take a long time to escape!"

"The starting price of this talisman is 50,000 spirit coins, and each bid must not be less than 500 spirit coins!"

It turned out to be a rare magic talisman that could trap enemies.

Zhou Chun's eyes lit up and he also became interested.

For the Golden Core stage monks, those offensive and defensive talismans are actually not very useful in the battle with monks of the same level.

Because the spells released by the talisman are much weaker than the fourth-level spells cast by the Jindan stage cultivators themselves, it is difficult to break through the magic weapon defenses of cultivators of the same level.

However, auxiliary talismans such as those for trapping enemies and escaping techniques are quite useful.

A Thousand Illusions Cloud Sea Talisman like this one, even if it can only trap an early Jindan cultivator for a dozen breaths, is enough to allow one to gain a considerable initiative in the battle.

At this time, Zhou Chun looked at the slowly rising bid price and gave bidding instructions to the maid in the private room.

"Private Room 37 offers 71,000 spirit coins. Is there a higher price?"

"Okay, room 24 offers 73,000 spirit coins!"

"Seventy-five thousand spirit coins. Room 31 offers seventy-five thousand spirit coins. Is there a higher price?"

……

At the auction table, the auctioneer kept quoting high prices one after another with a smile on his face, breaking the bidding record for this item, and his voice was full of passion.

After Zhou Chun made several bids, he gave up the idea.

It’s not that he can’t afford to play, but he thinks there’s no need to pay a high price for something that he doesn’t know when he will use it.

It is true that he has money, but the money should be spent on things that are urgently needed now.

Eventually, the [Thousand Illusions Cloud Sea Talisman] was bought at a high price of 95,000 spirit coins.

Afterwards, one powerful fourth-order talisman after another was taken out for auction. Zhou Chun also made several bids, but ultimately chose not to take any because he felt it was not worth it.

He had just succeeded in forming his elixir not long ago, and even though he had millions of dollars, he was still unable to spend lavishly and easily spend eighty or ninety thousand spirit coins to buy a talisman that was not necessary.

Just like a person who has been used to living frugally since childhood, even if the salary after working is very good, much higher than that of people of the same age, he will not be used to spending money lavishly at the beginning.

There is always an adaptation process!
"A piece of magic weapon spiritual material [Fire Copper] weighs 65 pounds and 4 ounces. The starting price is 100,000 spiritual coins. Each bid must not be less than 1,000 spiritual coins!"

Suddenly, another treasure that Zhou Chun was interested in was taken out by the auctioneer.

It was a yellow-red copper ingot about a foot long, emitting pure fire-attributed spiritual power.

Compared to the [Flame Heart Iron] that Zhou Chun had bought before, this piece of [Fire Essence Copper] is more precious and more suitable as the core material of Zhou Mingde's natal magic weapon.

Therefore, he soon developed a determination to obtain this thing.

"150,000 spirit coins. Room 37 is offering 150,000 spirit coins. Is there a higher price?"

"The price has been raised again. Room 37 is offering 182,000 spirit coins!"

"Two hundred and thirty-five thousand spirit coins for the first time, and two hundred and thirty-five thousand spirit coins for the second time... Deal, congratulations to Room 37 for obtaining the ownership of this piece of [Fire Crystal Copper]!"

When the auctioneer shouted "Deal", Zhou Chun breathed a sigh of relief.

Except for special cases like him, the total value of the spirit coins spent by most cultivators who have just formed a golden core on refining their own natal magic weapons would not exceed one million.

Generally, after collecting several suitable magical weapon spiritual materials, you will begin to refine your own magical weapon.

After all, the special nature of the natal magic weapon allows it to be gradually improved and upgraded later.

And the sooner one can possess his own magical weapon, the sooner one can consolidate his position as a Jindan-stage cultivator!
So now that he had bought two kinds of materials for Zhou Mingde, he only needed to buy one or two more.

In Zhou Mingde's situation, using too many high-level materials to refine his own magic weapon might not necessarily be a good thing.

After [Fire Essence Copper], the auctioneer took out several kinds of magic weapons and spiritual materials for auction. Since there was nothing that he and Zhou Mingde needed among them, Zhou Chun did not bid.

It wasn't until another item was taken out by the auctioneer that it attracted his attention.

"The next treasure is quite special. It is a fragment of a powerful magic weapon. After appraisal by our auction house, it is found that the fragment contains a large amount of high-quality iron essence. If we can use the secret technique of refining the weapon to separate the iron essence from it, we can get at least ten kilograms of iron essence!"

"The reserve price for this item is 50,000 spirit coins. Each bid must not be less than 500 spirit coins. Fellow Taoists and seniors who are interested can make an offer now!"

The auctioneer on the stage took out a broken blade that looked like a magic weapon such as a sword and placed it in front of him for people to see while speaking.

Only about one-third of the original blade remains, and the entire blade is gray-black in color. Even though it is just a fragment now, it still exudes a sharp and captivating aura.

"If this thing is complete, it must be at least a top-grade magic weapon, or even a top-grade magic weapon!"

Zhou Chun was secretly surprised and immediately asked the maid to join the bidding.

"Iron Essence" is also a very good spiritual material for magic weapons. It can increase the sharpness attribute when integrated into magic weapons such as swords and knives, and can also enhance the sturdiness attribute when integrated into other magic weapons.

The natal magic weapon [Wanhua Jinding] that Zhou Chun wants to refine is very special. It can melt various rare spiritual gold materials and extract their essence to enhance the power of the magic weapon.

Therefore, for him, the more materials like "gold essence" and "iron essence" the better.

As for how to separate the "iron essence" from the broken blade, it is actually very simple. After he refines the [Wanhua Golden Cauldron], he can easily do this with the help of the magical power of this natal magic weapon.

However, there are obviously not many monks who can separate out the "iron essence" like him, so the competition for Canren is not that fierce.

In the end, Zhou Chun only paid 167,000 spirit coins to win the auction.

If he could really peel out more than ten kilograms of "iron essence" by then, he would have been lucky enough to get a bargain!

After having several harvests in succession, Zhou Chun became more and more excited about the remaining treasures.

After a few treasures were passed by, the auctioneer quickly took out another treasure that Zhou Chun was quite excited about.

"A piece of rare spiritual wood [Soul-nourishing Wood], seven feet and six inches long, can be used to make more than fifty soul tablets. It can also be used to nourish the soul of a cultivator, keeping it immortal for a hundred years. It can also be used to refine magical instruments and treasures to defend against spiritual attacks!"

At the auction table, the auctioneer reached for the storage bag at his waist, and a long jade box appeared in his hand. When the lid of the box was opened, a seven-foot-long piece of strange purple-black wood was revealed.

The wood is black in color, and its bark is as smooth as cinnamon, with circles of light purple spiritual patterns.

"A section of [Soul-Nourishing Wood], starting price is 200,000 spirit coins, and each bid must not be less than 1,000 spirit coins!"

While Zhou Chun was carefully looking at the piece of [Soul-Nourishing Wood], the auctioneer had already started bidding loudly. And there were obviously many monks who were interested in this [Soul-Nourishing Wood], and soon one after another high prices were shouted out from the auctioneer's mouth.

Zhou Chun was also very attracted by this thing.

Although the Zhou family can now be said to be the number one Jindan family in Jingguo, no one, including the three Jindan-stage cultivators, has ever left a "natal soul tablet" in the family.

It’s not that they are unwilling to do so, nor that they don’t have the technology, but because they lack the materials to refine the “natal soul tablet”.

If this piece of [Soul-Nourishing Wood] can be obtained now, then every Jindan-stage cultivator and Zifu-stage cultivator of the Zhou family will be able to leave a "natal soul tablet" in the family, and even some important foundation-building stage cultivators can have a "natal soul tablet".

As for using the Soul-Nourishing Wood to refine magical instruments and treasures, that was just the words of the auctioneer to deceive others into bidding for this item.

In fact, most weapon refining masters do not have the ability to refine the [Soul Nourishing Wood] into a magical weapon that can defend against spiritual attacks, let alone a magic weapon!
Otherwise, magical instruments that can defend against spiritual attacks wouldn't be so rare in the world of immortal cultivation, and Zhou Chun wouldn't have to work so hard to practice the secret technique "Heart Lotus Dharma".

As many cultivators competed to bid, the price of [Soul Nourishing Wood] also rose rapidly, and soon doubled, exceeding 400,000 spirit coins!
"Four hundred and thirty-five thousand spirit coins, is there anyone who can offer a higher price than Room 37?"

"Four hundred and thirty-five thousand spirit coins for the second time. Is there really no one who offers a higher price?"

"Four hundred and thirty-five thousand spirit coins for the third time, deal! Congratulations to Room 37 for winning this [Soul Nurturing Wood]!"

When the auctioneer finally announced the transaction price, Zhou Chun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If the price was any higher, he would have given up!
After buying three precious treasures in succession, most of the spirit coins in his hand were gone, and he had no plans to buy any more.

From then on, Zhou Chun watched as each treasure was auctioned off for various high prices, but he never made a purchase again.

When the finale finally came on stage, Zhou Chun was also a little surprised.

Because the last three treasures in this auction actually included two magic weapons and a set of spiritual objects for forming elixir.

Unfortunately, even that set of Jindan spiritual objects was eventually sold at a sky-high price of one million spiritual coins, and Zhou Chun could only watch.

After the auction was over, the [Fire Essence Copper], the Broken Blade of the Magical Weapon, and the [Soul Nourishing Wood] that Zhou Chun had bid for were all delivered to his private room by a Jindan-stage cultivator, who then took away the 837,000 spirit coins he had paid for!

At this point, Zhou Chun only had 330,000 spirit coins left.

"As expected, after reaching the Golden Core Stage, I can't help spending spirit coins any more!"

Looking at his shriveled storage bag, Zhou Chun couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, then he packed up the three spiritual objects and left the auction house.

It is easy for Jindan monks to earn spirit coins, but it is obviously faster to spend them.

Zhou Chun is not an alchemy master like Luo Qingni, who can earn a large amount of spirit coins continuously with his superb skills.

The reason why he has a million-dollar fortune is purely due to the war profits he made.

Now, unless he becomes a robbery cultivator, it will be very difficult for him to restore his wealth to the million level.

After all, he has almost dealt with all the low- and mid-end spiritual objects he can handle.

Although there are still many treasures left, they are all things that may be useful in the future and cannot be easily exchanged for spirit coins.

It seems that if he wants to obtain a large amount of spirit coins in the future, he will have to start from his family.

After attending the grand auction in Xiandu Market, Zhou Chun did not stay in this market for long and soon returned to Tianyuan Fairy City.

After returning to Tianyuan Fairy City, Zhou Chun sent a communication talisman to Luo Qingni, but received no response, which made him realize that the other party should still be refining the elixir.

So after hesitating for a while, he rented a cave and paid the rent for five years at a time.

The risk of "breaking the tripod and recasting it" is very high, especially it cannot be disturbed.

Although the Zhou family’s mountain gate is considered a safe place, the Zhou family still has enemies.

Therefore, Zhou Chun prefers to complete this step in Tianyuan Fairy City.

At least in Tianyuan Fairy City, unless a Nascent Soul cultivator comes here to cause trouble, he will not disturb the people who are in seclusion inside.

After practicing in the cave for two months, Zhou Chun received a message from Luo Qingni, asking him to go over and receive the refined pills.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, it is wise to say that Qing Ni has not refined [Ancient Dust Pill] many times, and the difficulty is not small. Only six pills were produced this time, and it was thanks to the alchemy furnace."

"As for the Foundation Establishment Pills, they all worked well this time. The first six furnaces produced a total of fifty-five pills. The last four furnaces only produced six pills because the main ingredients were much less effective. A total of sixty-one pills!"

In "Qingni Residence", facing the visiting Zhou Chun, Luo Qingni did not exchange too many pleasantries and directly told him the results of his alchemy retreat.

As she spoke, she took out all the pills and handed them to Zhou Chun.

But Zhou Chun was a little dazed at this time.

It was not until Luo Qingni took out the pill bottles and handed them to him that he looked at Luo Qingni with surprise and said, "Daoyou Luo, how many foundation-building pills were there in total? It was sixty-one, right?"

"Yes, there are sixty-one foundation-building pills in total, all of them are here."

Luo Qingni looked at Zhou Chun strangely, then nodded in acknowledgement.

As a Jindan-stage cultivator, she certainly couldn't understand the thoughts of Zhou Chun, a Jindan-stage cultivator from a family.

In her eyes, sixty-one foundation-building pills were a huge fortune, but that was all.

After all, she has no use for this thing except selling it for spirit coins.

But for Zhou Chun, so many Foundation Establishment Pills represent dozens of Foundation Establishment cultivators!

Even if three Foundation Establishment Pills can successfully cure one person, it can add twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators to the Zhou family!
Once upon a time, the Zhou family had to empty their savings just to buy one or two Foundation Establishment Pills!

Thinking of this, Zhou Chun couldn't help but thank Luo Qingni repeatedly: "Thank you so much, Brother Luo. It is a blessing for me and the Zhou family to be able to meet you. You are really a great benefactor to me and the Zhou family!"

Including the twenty-five Foundation Establishment Pills that Luo Qingni had previously asked to be refined, Luo Qingni now provided the Zhou family with eighty-six Foundation Establishment Pills!
It is no exaggeration to say that she is the Zhou family’s great benefactor!
However, Luo Qingni was obviously confused by Zhou Chun's sudden thanks. After a long pause, she finally understood what he meant. She couldn't help but shook her head and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, you are too polite. Qingni is just doing her duty as entrusted by others. She doesn't deserve the title of benefactor!"

After saying that, he couldn't help but sigh: "And Qingni should thank fellow Daoist more. The [Bi Bo Xixin Tea] that fellow Daoist gave is not ordinary. Speaking of which, Qingni got the better deal in this transaction!"

At that time, she did not pay attention to Zhou Chun's statement that it could increase spiritual awareness, because many types of spiritual teas also have such effects, but the spiritual awareness increased by those spiritual teas is really just a little bit.

However, the increase in spiritual awareness caused by taking [Bi Bo Xixin Tea] continuously was obviously more than just a little bit.

As a Jindan stage cultivator, she knew very well how precious and rare this spiritual object that could increase spiritual awareness was.

"Hahaha, if Brother Luo likes it, next time I have the chance to get this kind of spiritual tea again, I will definitely give you some more!"

Zhou Chun came back to his senses from his excitement and couldn't help but laugh, and made a promise with a smile.

[Bi Bo Xi Xin Tea] is produced in the medicinal garden on the secret island, and the jade talisman for entering and exiting the secret island is now in his hands. In the future, the Zhou family will definitely be able to send people in to collect this kind of spiritual tea.

Luo Qingni didn't know this, and her eyes lit up immediately after hearing this, and she immediately smiled and said, "Then Qingni will not be polite to Brother Zhou, Qingni will remember this."

The two chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.

After chatting and laughing for a while, Zhou Chun finally got down to business: "I have also considered the matter of exchanging the Soul Heart Fruit for the Spirit Pill that Daoist Luo mentioned last time. I would like to trouble Daoist Luo to help with the exchange. I will not show up!"

Hearing his words, Luo Qingni immediately nodded and said, "This is a small matter. Qingni will definitely get it done for Brother Zhou soon."

"Then Zhou would like to thank you, fellow Taoist."

As Zhou Chun spoke, he took out two [Soul Heart Fruits] and handed them to Luo Qingni.

Afterwards, he exchanged some experiences with Luo Qingni and returned to his cave alone.

After returning to the cave, the first thing Zhou Chun did was to summon out the golden-armored mountain turtle stone.

Then he looked at his beloved pet and said, "Shi Tou, I will fulfill my promise to you today. I will let you try the Ancient Dust Pill first to see how effective it is!"

Hearing what he said, Stone, the golden-armored mountain turtle, suddenly brightened up his eyes, revealed a look of delight, and hurriedly rubbed his head against his thigh.

Then Zhou Chun was seen turning over the pill bottle, from which a reddish-brown pill emitting a fragrant aroma poured out.

Perhaps because it was given to a monster, the pill was extremely large, almost the size of an egg.

As soon as the pill was taken out, the fragrance made Shi Tou open his mouth wide.

"for you!"

Zhou Chun raised his hand and threw the pill, which turned into a parabola and sank into the stone's mouth.

Afterwards, as the medicinal power of the elixir began to be released, Shitou had to concentrate on practicing to digest the medicinal power, and had no time to play with Zhou Chun.

It took almost three months for Shi Tou to completely digest the medicinal power of the [Ancient Dust Pill].

And judging from his feedback, the medicinal power of one [Ancient Dust Pill] is at least equivalent to the results of his ten years of practice!
Under normal circumstances, it might take Shitou hundreds of years to break through to become a third-level, top-grade monster.

After all, because of its long lifespan, the growth rate of monsters like the Golden-Armored Mountain Turtle is much slower than that of monsters like the Thunder Dragon.

But if Zhou Chun gave it all six [Ancient Dust Pills], it would be able to be promoted to the third-grade upper grade within twenty or thirty years!
This shows how powerful the efficacy of [Ancient Dust Pill] is.

"It seems that after I successfully refine my life-saving magic weapon, the most important thing is to collect the materials for refining the [Ancient Dust Pill] with all my strength!"

Zhou Chun looked at the stone in front of him, which looked like he wanted more after eating it, and he immediately made a choice in his mind about what to do in the future.
