I am cultivating immortality in the chaotic world.

Chapter 110 Useless things.

Feicheng, noon.

The place is covered with snow and the sunlight is relatively gentle, which can give you a faint sense of warmth. This place is close to the boundless ice field, and there is almost no summer. It is in autumn and winter all year round. There is always a roaring cold wind from the boundless ice field rushing into Feizhou.

Feilong was reporting the information he had collected in the inn.

"The evil wood is indeed produced in Feizhou, just as the leader of Chaotian Sect said. Although it is a tree that grows in an evil place, I don't know why only the evil place in Feizhou can produce this kind of wood."

"Maybe it's because the weather in Feizhou is cold, so this thing exists."

"Just like if you are poisoned by a snake, there must be an antidote within seven steps."

"It is a common heating item used by ordinary sects and families in Feizhou. It is indeed not a valuable item."

"As for the Eight Desolate Fruit——"

Fei Long paused for a moment and said with emotion: "I spent some spirit stones to get this information from the "Tianxia Pavilion" which specializes in selling intelligence. The evil wood can be used for heating, and this Eight Desolate Fruit is truly useless."

“It belongs to the spiritual fruit.”

"It grows completely randomly. It may grow from an apple tree or a pear tree. No matter what kind of fruit tree it is, it may grow into the Eight Desolate Fruit. It goes against the laws of nature."

"And any tree that grows the Eight Desolate Fruit will no longer bear any fruit, and will never bear fruit again."

"The Bahuang fruit is octagonal in shape, similar to a carambola."

"If there is one effect, it is... rarity."

"Because this fruit has no side effects, but it also has no effect. It also has no taste. It is not sweet, astringent, sour, or spicy. The taste is just average."

"And once this fruit is picked from the tree, it will rot within nine hours."

"It must be placed in a jade box so that it won't rot."

"The price is not expensive. If you want one, you can get it for more than 300 spirit stones. Most of the expenses are on the journey and the search. The fruit farmers will only get a few taels of silver."

"I have already paid the deposit to Tianxia Pavilion and asked them to make the arrangements."

"Ah."

Chen Lu nodded, feeling somewhat puzzled. Each condition of the tenth-grade golden elixir could be said to be extremely harsh, but for some reason the two rare treasures mentioned were ordinary things.

The third-grade golden elixir requires a rare forging material like Dragon Vein Stone, but the tenth-grade golden elixir only needs something like the evil wood to keep warm? The Eight Desolate Fruit is a little rare, but it is also useless.

He didn't wait to think too much.

Fei Long spoke again, "There is indeed an auction in Feicheng tonight. This auction has been prepared for a long time. Most of the items in the auction are alchemy furnaces, alchemy formulas, formations, and other things prepared for alchemy practitioners and talisman practitioners."

"After all, there are obviously more alchemy practitioners and talisman practitioners in the South Province."

"But I heard that there will be two jade slips for sale at the auction."

"Let's go check it out in the evening." Chen Yu nodded in understanding.

That night.

Chen Lu was already standing at the entrance of the Jia's Chamber of Commerce shop in Feicheng. This was a five-story attic, one of the taller buildings in Feicheng. At this time, many cultivators had already walked into the attic entrance.

The auction will start tonight.

Things like entry jade slips, even the most rubbish ones are relatively rare, and are often announced in advance and then sold to the highest bidder at an auction. Of course, these are only some lower-level entry jade slips. High-level entry jade slips don't have a chance to be auctioned, as they are basically determined internally.

Chen Lu, who was standing at the entrance, did not enter immediately, but looked inward at the small world.

He now has more than 4000 low-grade spirit stones and twenty-four medium-grade spirit stones.

Medium-grade spirit stones must be saved for breakthrough to the golden elixir stage.

According to the scholar, when an ordinary cultivator breaks through to the Golden Core stage, he must prepare at least forty-nine medium-grade spirit stones, and then set up a spirit gathering formation to ensure that he can successfully break through to the Golden Core stage.

To be on the safe side, he planned to set up a higher-level spirit gathering array, which would require one hundred and eight medium-grade spirit stones.

After all, his goal was the tenth-grade golden elixir, and he was worried that forty-nine mid-grade spirit stones might not be enough.

In the next year, another goal is to accumulate enough mid-grade spirit stones.

According to Feilong's information, the two jade slips of entries at this auction were not very good entries, and more than 4,000 low-grade spirit stones should be enough to buy them.

"Let's go."

Just as Chen Yu and Fei Long were about to step into the auction loft, a sarcastic voice suddenly rang in their ears: "Where did this bumpkin come from, bringing a cripple to the auction?"

"."

Fei Long stood there in a daze and glanced around. Seeing that there were no other disabled people around, he was sure that he was talking to them. He looked with some disbelief at the young man standing next to them who was wearing a robe that looked quite luxurious.

Is this man so brave?

Talking to them like this? And they had spent several spirit stones to buy their clothes at Wentian Market, so they couldn't be considered country bumpkins, right?
Chen Lu glanced at the man and said nothing more. He strode towards the auction house without stopping.

"Hey!"

The young man who had just spoken looked at Chen Yu and the others with a playful look on his face and said loudly, "I'm talking to you. Are you deaf?"

Chen Lu didn't reply, but patted Feilong on the shoulder and signaled him to enter the auction first.

This young man was surrounded by many other young men. They looked at Chen Lu's departing back and laughed at him without any hesitation. The young man who spoke looked at everyone with an even more arrogant grin.

"See? Even if it's Chen Yu who has inherited the Dharma cultivation heritage, he still has to bow his head when he sees me, Ning Laiping."

"Since he asked my grandfather to do something, he must be the grandson."

Of course he knew Chen Lu.

The moment Chen Lu obtained the inheritance of the Dharma Cultivator's Art, Chen Lu's portrait was basically spread throughout the hands of all the powerful families and sects in the Great Xia Kingdom. His grandfather was the most famous Foundation Establishment Peak Equipment Cultivator in "Feicheng".

Naturally, you will not fail to receive the message.

At this time, Chen Yu had already stepped into the auction. Ning Laiping looked in the direction where Chen Yu left and sneered, "If a foreign cultivator wants to obtain the life treasure made by my grandfather, he must learn to be humble and behave himself."

The highlight of tonight’s auction is

That’s it, his grandfather!

His grandfather has reached the peak of the foundation-building stage and is about to break through to the golden elixir stage. All the spiritual treasures created by weapon cultivators with the help of the power of heaven and earth at the moment of breakthrough carry more powerful power than spiritual treasures of the same level!
Stronger, more expensive, and rarer!
And his grandfather happened to be the best at creating magical treasures for cultivation, and he became famous for it. So Chen Lu came to this auction tonight with a very clear purpose, which was to bid for his grandfather's qualification to break through his cultivation level in public tonight and create a magical treasure at the moment of breakthrough.

With this advantage, he could participate in the competition for the genius in four days.

But he didn't like this person.

It's not that there is any conflict of interest, but the news that his grandfather was going to have a breakthrough tonight and use the breakthrough to forge a magic treasure had already spread throughout Feizhou, and he was also the focus of the topic. Everyone who saw him congratulated him that his grandfather was about to become a Jindan weapon cultivator, and would be able to forge Jindan magic treasures that could be used by Jindan cultivators in the future, which would greatly enhance his reputation and strength.

Ever since this person seized the inheritance of the Dharma, the focus of the topic shifted away from him. Originally, he just felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but it was difficult to say it out loud, lest others think he was petty.

But since Chen Lu was asking his grandfather for help, it would be unreasonable for him not to vent the resentment in his heart.

The others around him also responded with a smile.

"He is just a casual cultivator from a remote area of ​​Northern Continent, yet he is so arrogant. He really thinks that he is invincible in the world just because he has obtained the inheritance of Dharma cultivation."

"That's right. Even if he is so arrogant, he still has to ask Mr. Ning's grandfather to make him a magic cultivation treasure."

"No matter what, he is just a casual foundation-building cultivator. We are all instrument cultivators and alchemy cultivators, but as for the Dharma cultivators, how could it be his turn to seize the Dharma cultivator inheritance?"

The people surrounding Ning Laiping are all alchemy cultivators and weapon cultivators.

Either he learned from a famous master, or it is inherited from the family.

Southern State.

Weapon cultivators and alchemy cultivators are the most popular and have the highest status. No matter they are sword cultivators or magic cultivators, they always need help from weapon cultivators and alchemy cultivators on a daily basis. In addition, weapon cultivators and alchemy cultivators require a lot of talent and accumulation, resulting in extremely few weapon cultivators and alchemy cultivators who are worthy of showing off.

Therefore, a prestigious weapon cultivator would have far more connections and status than other cultivators of the same level.

These younger disciples who cultivate weapons and elixirs usually get along together, forming a small circle. Even some Jindan cultivators, in order to ask their elders to do things for them, are quite kind to them and often praise them when talking to them.

As the saying goes.

There are no uneducated people among the people, and there are many great scholars among the people.

They have seen many great Jindan masters who can be regarded as distinguished guests in ordinary families. When those great Jindan masters ask their elders to do things, they are also quite respectful. It is a complete shortage of supply and a seller's market.

After being influenced by their surroundings for many years, they naturally would not think that ridiculing a casual foundation-building cultivator is a big deal. Even if that casual foundation-building cultivator has obtained the inheritance of a Dharma cultivator, when they come to Feicheng, they have to learn to humble themselves and behave themselves.

at this time--

Inside the auction, Chen Yu and others had already taken their seats in the hall.

"Here."

The scholar who was sitting cross-legged in the hall smacked his lips and said, "It seems that we don't need to pay for spirit stones at this auction. Someone will pay for us."

"them?"

Fei Long looked up at the young masters who were provoking outside just now and were sitting in the Tianzihao private room on the second floor, and grinned: "It makes sense, but I don't know if this young master will rush to bid and save some spirit stones."

Chen Lu leaned back in his chair, flipping through the list of items in his arms. When he turned to the last page, he saw an old man who looked three-quarters like the young man who had provoked him just now.

There are a few lines of small text next to it.
-
"It's better to have peace."

"He is a cultivator at the peak of foundation building, and he is the Grand Elder of Ning Family in Feicheng. Although he is at the peak of foundation building, with the blessing of a number of spiritual treasures, he is quite threatening to those at the early stage of golden elixir."

"He is the leader of the ten great weapon cultivators in Feizhou who have established their foundation. He is regarded as the weapon cultivator with the best chance of entering the golden elixir realm in recent years."

"He is good at forging magic treasures, and can customize extremely suitable magic treasures according to the common methods used by cultivators."

"The person who makes the highest bid tonight will be eligible to receive the peerless treasure that Ning Taiping created with the power of heaven and earth when he achieved his golden elixir breakthrough outside the city tonight."

"P.S. The highest bidder tonight will only receive the qualification to forge. Forging fees, natural materials and treasures will need to be prepared separately."
-
"I see."

Chen Yu nodded slightly, casually flipped through the list of items, and said nonchalantly: "This grandson of Ning Taiping thinks that we are here to ask his grandfather to forge a magic treasure, so he is provocative?"

"This should be."

Fei Long nodded: "It seems that he is used to being spoiled in Feicheng. If his grandfather knew that he was like this, he would probably give him a big slap in the face."

The auction hasn't started yet.

The beautiful woman presiding over the auction on the stage was still preparing, and many monks who had just entered the venue were looking for a place to sit down.

at this time--

An old man with a white beard and wearing a rather luxurious robe walked onto the stage with a cold face, and unleashed his peak foundation building skills without reservation: "I believe everyone present knows me. My name is Ning Taiping."

"I just heard from my grandson that there is a Dharma cultivator from another place who said that the weapon cultivators in Feicheng are a mob?"

"I want to see which Dharma practitioner is so bold and reckless in my Feicheng!"

Although he asked in a questioning tone, his eagle-like pupils were filled with gloom. He stared through the crowd at Chen Yu, who was leaning on the chair, and said word by word: "My son said that the man called himself Chen Yu, and he was the lucky man who just won the inheritance of the law cultivation in the Heavenly Dao Edict."

"Do you know where that person is?"

"I want to see where this person gets the courage from?!"

"."

The hall, which was originally a bit noisy, suddenly became silent. Many people with slightly strange expressions looked in the direction of Ning Taiping, looking at a young man who was leaning on a chair with his legs crossed with a calm expression.

Is this person Chen Lu?

He looks really young and has the appearance of a genius.

Although Ning Taiping did not directly say that this person was Chen Yu, the implication of his words almost mentioned the name. Do these two have a grudge? Seeing that Chen Yu did not speak.

Ning Taiping, who was standing on the stage, had a glimmer of satisfaction in his eyes as he glanced at the people below the stage: "It's just a few minor conflicts, so I won't disturb you all. The auction is about to start, so please take your seats."

In the private room No. 3 on the second floor.

A charming woman wearing a low-necked slit cheongsam gently swirled the wine in her cup and looked at Ning Taiping who was walking off the stage, smiling and saying, "Chen Yu is still young after all, and he can't beat the old monster Ning Taiping."

"Ning Taiping also knows that Chen Yu wants to ask him for something tonight, so he definitely doesn't dare to refute him in person. Then, he will build momentum for himself by suppressing Chen Yu's newly rising power."

"Spread it out later."

"That is Chen Yu, who has won the inheritance of the Dharma Cultivator. He has to be as obedient as a grandson in front of Ning Taiping. Hasn't Ning Taiping always wanted to be the next leader of the Weapon Cultivator Alliance?"

"With this momentum, plus his breakthrough to the Golden Core Artifact Cultivator tonight, when the leader of the alliance is re-elected in seven days, Ning Taiping may really be able to take this position."

Next to the woman stood an old man in linen clothes. He looked at Chen Yu standing in the audience with disdain: "This boy is relatively young. He was originally in a very proud period after winning the Dharma Cultivation inheritance."

"Being suppressed by Ning Taiping like this might leave a knot in his heart, and his morale might even be greatly weakened."

“Originally, as long as I settle down for a while, I will surely become famous after I enter the Golden Core stage.”

"Now that I've been humiliated in public, the strange looks from the people around me are like piercing my heart. My spirit has been dispersed, and it's very difficult to gather it again. It can be said that I'm basically ruined. This is how unbearable it is for a casual cultivator who suddenly has a fortuitous encounter."

"normal."

The woman placed her snow-white, slender legs on a low stool beside her, looked at Chen Yu with a playful look, and said with a smile, "Building momentum is all about swallowing up other people's momentum to build your own momentum."

"Chen Chu has no roots or foundation, and he needs help from others. He is eager to serve as a stepping stone for others, and no one can stop him."

"I am still a little impatient after all."

"If he had found a place to practice hard first and digested all the Dharma cultivation inheritance, he would have had a place in the Tianjiao rankings next year. But he had to come to ask for help before the Tianjiao competition to get himself a handy spiritual treasure, thus losing both face and substance."

"But even so, he is still a person who has inherited the Dharma. If we can take him into the family and do things for the family, it is not impossible."

"Grandpa, look at Chen Yu down there. He's still pretending to be calm. I guess he must be gritting his teeth in his heart."

In room number seven.

Ning Wuping looked at Chen Yu who was sitting in the hall and said with a happy smile: "Grandpa, you are still so domineering."

"Humph."

Ning Taiping was also feeling quite happy at this moment. He stroked his white beard, picked up a cup of boiling tea, brought it to his lips and took a sip. Then he pretended to be calm and said disdainfully: "He is just a little kid. If you scold him a few times, will he dare to talk back?"

"If you dare to say anything back, when I take the position of the leader of the Weapon Cultivator Alliance, I will call on all weapon cultivators and alchemy cultivators not to do business with him. He is just a casual cultivator without a family to support him, so don't bother with him. He will be lost in the crowd in a few years."

"I have already prepared a golden elixir at a high price. Tonight I will use the second-grade golden elixir to enter the golden elixir realm!"

"This Feicheng should be renamed Ningcheng in the future."

At this time, Chen Lu was leaning back in his chair, patiently waiting for the auction to begin. He heard a lot of discussions in the venue, all of which were praises for Ning Taiping and regrets for him, but he didn't take it seriously.

until--

"It is said that Senior Ning has already prepared the golden elixir. He will enter the golden elixir stage tonight with the second-grade golden elixir on the top of Lufeng outside the city. The Ning family will soon become a golden elixir family. Under the protection of Senior Ning, it will prosper for a few hundred years."

"Good."

Chen Lu suddenly chuckled when he heard the news. His tenth-grade golden elixir required nine second-grade golden elixirs as the melting material. He was originally worried that these second-grade golden elixirs were not something that ordinary people could make, so where should he collect them?

As a result, the first one has been delivered to my door.

He is just a weapon cultivator who has just entered the first level of Jindan. It is not that difficult to kill him. The greatest means for Jindan to crush the foundation-building cultivators is the attack with the spiritual consciousness. Those who have just entered the Jindan stage probably have not learned how to attack with the spiritual consciousness, so they do not even have the greatest means to crush them.

In this case, it is just a half-step golden elixir.

What's more, he is a weapon cultivator, and most of his strength comes from external forces.

He didn't even need to use the self-destruction term, he could kill it with his own strength. Moreover, it was the first time he saw someone break through the Golden Core stage in front of everyone and was not afraid of being attacked by the enemy. It seemed like he was willing to do anything to create momentum.

It didn't take long for the auction to start.

First lot.

"First lot."

"Spiritual treasure, mid-grade alchemy furnace for the foundation-building period, 'Earth Fire Cauldron', starting price."

"."

Chen Lu leaned back in his chair with his eyes slightly lowered, waiting for the next item to be auctioned. He had basically read through the auction list, and there was nothing useful to him except those two entries.

It didn't take long.
-
"Lot 13."

"Jade slip of entry, white entry"

[Term Name]: The posture of forging equipment.

[Term Level]: White.

[Entry Effect]: When you forge spiritual treasures, the success rate will increase slightly.

"The starting price is 100 Spiritual Stones, and each bid must not be less than 100 Spiritual Stones."
-
This entry can be regarded as the finale item, and many monks sitting in the lobby were bidding enthusiastically.

Soon the price reached 1200 spirit stones, and the bidding gradually slowed down.

"Third time"

Just as the hammer was about to fall, Fei Long raised his sign and said loudly, "1300 Spiritual Stones."

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, in Room 1400 of Tianzihao, Ning Wuping, who had originally had no interest in bidding, raised his eyebrows provocatively and looked at Fei Long who was sitting in the lobby: " Spiritual Stones."

"Hey."

Fei Long laughed and was about to continue holding up the sign when he was stopped by Chen Lu.

"Don't raise the price. If he spends more spiritual stones, we will get less spiritual stones later."

"clear."

"Lot 14."

"Entry Jade Slip, Green Entry"

[Term Name]: God of Forging.

"Entry Level": Green.

[Entry Effect]: Every time you forge a spiritual treasure, there is a low chance of randomly adding a special effect.

"The starting price is 100 Spiritual Stones, and each bid must not be less than 100 Spiritual Stones."

This time, before Fei Long had a chance to bid, the entry was bought by Ning Wuping for 3,900 spirit stones. This price was much higher than the price of the green entry that had been auctioned in Wentian Market.

After all, this entry can be said to be a god-level entry for weapon cultivators.

With this entry, the spiritual treasures forged in the future can be sold at a better price.

"This weapon cultivator is indeed rich."

Fei Long met Ning Wuping's provocative gaze from Room 7 and said with a smile, "Nearly four thousand spirit stones, thrown away as soon as they were told. People who see this really yearn for weapon cultivation."

"The fifteenth lot!"

"When Senior Ning achieved his golden elixir breakthrough, he was qualified to forge a treasure by borrowing the power of heaven and earth."

This is also the real highlight of tonight.

Many people came here specifically for this purpose.

The bidding sounds came one after another, and those in the top-level rooms also kept bidding. In the end, the price stayed at 12300 spirit stones. This was an outrageous price. After all, so many spirit stones were spent just for a qualification.

This does not include the forging fee and the natural treasures needed to forge the spiritual treasure.

Even if the spiritual treasure created by the weapon cultivator using the power of heaven and earth when he broke through to a great realm is nearly twice as powerful as spiritual treasures of the same level, it is definitely not worth 12300 spirit stones. This price is a complete rip-off.

I don’t know who was sitting in room number nine that day.

Many people in the lobby were quite shocked by the price and were discussing it with each other, wondering why it could reach such an outrageous price.

And Chen Lu never called out a price from beginning to end.

To be honest, he looked down on spiritual treasures of this level. The Tiandao spiritual treasures in the top three of the Tianjiao rankings were his target. If this kind of spiritual treasure was to exert its full power, it had to become his natal spiritual treasure. He was simply too lazy to waste his efforts to cultivate it.

Before he could even build up any reputation, he had already obtained the divine treasure of heaven.

"Hahahahahaha!!!"

A hearty laugh came from Room 7. Ning Taiping, a man with a white beard and a strong appearance, was seen standing by the window. He clasped his hands together and bowed to Room 9 opposite, saying, "Thank you for your support, Taoist friend. I'm sorry for making you lose money."

And a dull and hoarse voice was also heard from Tianzi No. 9.

"Senior Ning, you are joking. Everyone knows that Senior Ning is the best foundation cultivator in Feizhou. Once he enters the golden elixir stage, he will become the best cultivator in Daxia after a little settling down."

"I was lucky enough to get a bargain. These people don't know the meaning of your four words, Senior Ning."

"It's worth more than 10,000 spirit stones."

"When Senior Ning officially ascends to the position of Great Xia's number one weapon cultivator in the future, this treasure that Senior Ning created when he reached the Golden Core stage will also be of great commemorative significance as a collection."

"Hahahahaha." Ning Taiping was quite pleased to hear that. He stroked his beard and said cheerfully, "Thank you for your kindness, fellow Daoist. In that case, we will not delay any further. We will set off immediately to the outside of Feicheng Furnace and make a breakthrough under everyone's witness. We will also borrow the power of heaven and earth to forge a treasure for you on the spot."

"it is good!"

Feicheng, Lufeng.

Therefore, the peak got its name because its shape resembles a forging furnace for weapon cultivators. It is also a holy place in the minds of countless weapon cultivators nearby. The location chosen by Ning Taiping to break through to the Golden Elixir stage was at the top of the Furnace Peak.

At this time, Ning Taiping was already sitting cross-legged and practicing his mental skills. Beside him was a spirit gathering array consisting of 7749 medium-grade spirit stones.

There was a golden elixir quietly placed in the jade box in front of him.

At this time, there were already quite a few people gathered several feet away, basically all of them were weapon cultivators, who came to witness the historic moment of Ning Taiping's breakthrough to the Golden Core stage.

"I finally figured it out."

Fei Long, who was standing in the crowd, couldn't help but smack his lips and said, "Not only did he suppress Brother Shu in public, but he also hired someone to buy the treasure he made when he was in the Jindan stage at a high price, and he also chose Lufeng, a place that is considered a holy place for instrument cultivators, to break through the Jindan stage."

"This old man is trying to build momentum."

It is not difficult to distinguish. Anyone with a discerning eye can see how outrageous it is to spend more than 10,000 spirit stones to buy a qualification. With that amount of spirit stones, one can buy a top-quality golden elixir initial stage spirit treasure.

Are you crazy to use it to buy a spiritual treasure for the foundation-building stage?
And this is just the qualification; the forging fee and the rare treasures must be paid extra.

It's really a crude method.

But it has to be said that it works very well. As long as someone with ulterior motives fan the flames and spreads this matter, it will have a long-tail positive effect on Ning Taiping, similar to buying a horse bone for a large sum of money.

"In a sense."

Fei Long stood there with his arms folded and raised his eyebrows and said, "This old man is quite playful and dramatic. If he hadn't used Brother Lu as a stepping stone, maybe this old man would have really built up his own momentum."

"With this momentum, I can become a prestigious Jindan weapon cultivator in the future, and the Ning family will become a truly large family in Feizhou from now on."

"only."

"What a pity."
