Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 133: Meeting the Cang Yan Sect Again (Three Chapters in One)

Congratulations poured in.

All the cultivators inside and outside Qianzhu Tower were attracted by the newcomer.

Master Qianzhu took the initiative to step out from the top floor, smiling and bowing to each one, saying, "So it's Fellow Daoist Jinjian, Fellow Daoist Yusha, and Fellow Daoist Mingyan who have come to visit us!"

"It is truly an honor for our Qianzhu Tower to have the three of you come together to congratulate Junior Brother Mingyue!"

"Please come in and join us in celebrating this auspicious occasion."

The three Jindan Zhenren were originally standing in the air. Upon hearing the words, they took a step at the same time and walked down from the clouds to the top floor step by step.

Xiao Chen was below and saw it very clearly.

True Man Qianzhu first greeted True Man Jinjian in the middle, followed by True Man Yusha on the left, and finally True Man Mingyan from his own family.

This order is very interesting.

He carefully looked at the long queue of foundation-building monks who were giving gifts one by one to gain entry.

The same Jinjian Zhenren brought the largest number of Cang Yan Sect's foundation-building cultivators, nearly one hundred and fifty people.

However, the number of people who built the foundation of the Sihai Sect brought by True Man Yusha was unexpectedly small, only about sixty.

The difference is more than double.

Xiao Chen curiously asked Elder Chen, "Master, it seems that not many Taoist friends from the Four Seas Sect are coming here."

Elder Chen was also a little puzzled: "It's indeed strange that many familiar faces didn't come. Perhaps there's something important happening in the sect that's holding them back."

event?

What could be more important than participating in the Feixian Ceremony?

Xiao Chen quickly thought of the news he had learned from Chen Tianfeng before, that war had already broken out in Hezhou.

The Sihai Sect is relatively close to Hezhou. Could it be that they have already sent people to Hezhou to fight against the Shenhuo Sect?

This is not a good sign.

I hope fellow practitioners in Hezhou can stop the expansion of the Divine Fire Sect and prevent the war from spreading to Lizhou.

Eh!
Xiao Chen suddenly had another guess. If the Sihai Sect had really sent foundation-building cultivators to Hezhou, would the Lihuo Sect follow suit?
The so-called dead lips and cold teeth.

From the overall perspective, it seems necessary to reinforce Hezhou.

"Chen Tianyang from the Lihuo Sect, send three ounces of heavy water spirit sand."

While Xiao Chen was thinking, the team had already arrived at the door.

Heavy water spiritual sand is almost the same as flame spiritual sand, except that it has a water-based attribute.

But is this thing really so valuable?
Previously, in order to master Yanxia, ​​he had consumed nearly a pound of Flame Spirit Sand, which was equivalent to spending more than three thousand spirit stones.

It is very useful, but it is almost equivalent to the progress made by using spirit stones.

"Xiao Chen from the Lihuo Sect, give me a four-leaf golden peach."

He picked up a pen and wrote his name on the gift list, and the receptionist next to him immediately called out his name.

Xiao Chen glanced at the rest of the gifts on the gift list and found that most of them were similar spiritual objects, with a general value of one thousand spirit stones.

All the gifts were placed on a long table behind the door, leading all the way to the stairs leading to the second floor.

So many good things.

For a moment, a bold idea flashed through Xiao Chen's mind.

Use the storage bag to sweep away everything in front of you, then run away after grabbing everything.

However, he weighed his own escape speed against the spirit boat parked outside.

He put the idea aside with a hint of regret.

"Fellow Daoists, if you have items you need to sell later, please come here first."

On the second floor, an old man in the late foundation building stage greeted everyone with a smile: "If you want to view the auction items in advance, please go this way."

Xiao Chen actually has something in his hand that is very suitable for auction.

That was the foundation-building pill he had refined before.

Although those who are qualified to participate in the auction have already established their foundation.

But who doesn’t have friends and family? I’m sure many people want this thing.

In this case, it is bound to sell for a high price.

So she followed the maid's guidance and came to a separate small room.

A Qi-refining monk in a mandarin jacket was waiting inside: "I am Jia Eleven, I am here to see you, Senior. I wonder what you have to send me."

Xiao Chen didn't waste any words and directly took out his seven foundation-building pills: "I want to sell a batch of foundation-building pills. It would be best if they can be sold individually."

"Senior, wait a moment."

The cultivator codenamed Jiashiyi took the pills and condensed a white light in his hand to scan them one by one.

Then he took out a storage box and sealed it. At the same time, he took a number plate from the lid and handed it over with both hands: "This is your proof. Please keep it."

After leaving the hut, the maid continued to take him around in a big circle and came to an exhibition hall.

Many items prepared in advance by Qianzhufang City have been placed here.

Many monks, whether they participated in the auction or not, came here to take a tour in advance and choose their favorite spiritual objects.

Xiao Chen looked around and saw a dazzling array of high-quality magical weapons, including even a top-quality magical weapon that looked like a folding fan, placed in the middle.

Hundreds of years old spiritual wine, spiritual tea from the Central Region, spiritual beasts with rare bloodlines, and elixirs with extraordinary effects.

Each one is first-class quality stuff.

It's really dazzling.

"Hiss, there's actually Liuhe Divine Water and Wuguang Mysterious Water. I've really come to the right place this time."

On the way, Xiao Chen saw two top-level spiritual liquids again.

In addition, whether it is the Eastern Region Spirit Pearl, or the Flame Spirit Sand, including the Shenyi Pill and other items, they are all available.

The only thing to worry about.

On the contrary, I didn’t have enough spirit stones with me, so I couldn’t bring back all the good things.

You need to decide in advance which item you want to get with all your might, even if you have to compete with others for it.

What else can we buy without rushing and consider later?

Just as Xiao Chen was observing the spiritual objects in the exhibition hall, several cultivators from the Cang Yan Sect passed by and happened to see him.

The first person to discover it was Xiong Qiming, the head of the Xiong family.

He looked at Xiao Chen's familiar back and immediately remembered the young Qi-refining boy who had spent four thousand spirit stones to take down the thousand-year-old sword bamboo last summer.

So he turned around and asked, "Hey, Qiliang. Look at that person, doesn't he look familiar?"

Xiong Qiliang also looked over when he heard this.

Then a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "He has already established his foundation!"

Last year, in addition to the public auction in Gravel Valley, the Xiong family also held a competition to choose a husband for the third daughter of the Xiong family.

After seeing Xiao Chen, Xiong Qiming even considered canceling the marriage selection and inviting him to be his son-in-law.

Unfortunately, the other party refused very decisively and left Gravel Valley before the next day.

He has not been seen around here since.

At that time, the two brothers were curious about where this hero came from.

Unexpectedly, we met again here.

It turned out that their views at the time were even a little too conservative.

The other party was indeed a rare talent. In less than a year, when they met again, he had become a foundation-building cultivator.

Xiong Qiming couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

If I had known earlier that the other party had such great potential, I should have tried to make him my son-in-law, even if the conditions were a little higher.

But Xiong Qiliang didn't care about those.

He immediately thought of something even more outrageous: Why was he bidding for the Millennium Sword Bamboo?
After Xiao Chen left Gravel Valley, his previous itinerary naturally could not be kept secret.

Xiong Qiliang soon learned that after he came out of the valley, he went into seclusion for ten days, participated in the auction and only participated in the competition for the Millennium Sword Bamboo, and finally left without any regrets.

The purpose is quite clear.

It is easy to guess that he came here purely for the Millennium Sword Bamboo.

Xiong Qiliang had a bold guess in his mind: Is it possible that Xiao Chen is following the path of building the foundation of the Heavenly Dao?

Thinking of the four words "foundation building by the way of heaven", Xiong Qiliang's heart trembled.

But then he thought that this idea was a little too bold.

It seems a bit of an over-association to make such a speculation just because of a thousand-year-old sword bamboo and the other party has already established a foundation.

After all, it has been over a hundred years since the Heavenly Dao Foundation was established in Lizhou.

But then again, what if?
Should I take this opportunity to get to know Xiao Chen later?

The two brothers of the Xiong family have their own thoughts.

Behind them, Ji Ziheng from the Ji family also saw Xiao Chen.

He also went to Gravel Valley at that time and bought the first item on the auction, the thick earth robe.

Ji Ziheng had originally reached the great perfection of Qi training, and that time he went out was purely to adjust his mood.

I originally just wanted to join in the fun, but I accidentally saw Xiao Chen spending money lavishly.

The scene of a large pile of spirit stones rolling down at that time was not only unforgettable to the wandering cultivators in the stands.

Even though he was the direct descendant of the Ji family, he was full of envy for Xiao Chen and even memorized his appearance.

That’s a full four thousand spirit stones.

Not to mention then, even now, he couldn't come up with it on his own.

If it weren't for the help from the elders of the Ji family, Ji Ziheng would have been worried about the gift of one thousand spirit stones.

Now seeing Xiao Chen again, his heart was immediately filled with curiosity and admiration.

See the other party seems to be observing the exhibits.

He also followed Xiao Chen's gaze and saw the Five-Colored Mysterious Water and the Flame-Light Spirit Sand.

Most of the items in the exhibition hall are actually priced at a few hundred spirit stones.

This is also the normal price that ordinary foundation-building cultivators can afford.

And the ones Xiao Chen saw were top-tier luxury goods.

Ji Ziheng was suddenly shocked: He is choosing such an expensive spiritual object again?
When the auction starts later, Xiao Chen will not be bidding for these things.

Whose clan are you from? How can you be so rich?

Ji Ziheng became more and more curious.

He made up his mind that he must observe carefully on the third floor later to find out which family the other party came from.

Another person who shares the same idea as him is Tian Jianning.

However, their reasons are somewhat different.

Tian Jianning felt more fortunate at this moment.

When bidding in Gravel Valley that day, he was afraid of Xiao Chen's crazy and unhesitating bidding, and finally gave up the fight for the Millennium Sword Bamboo.

As a result, the relationship with his nephew Tian Xunjian's lineage became very strained.

At the same time, many members of the Tian family also thought that it was very shameful that he, a foundation-building cultivator, was suppressed by a Qi-refining cultivator.

After being talked about too much.

Tian Jianning himself occasionally began to doubt whether he was too cautious that day.

But when he saw that Xiao Chen had already established his foundation, he felt that what he had done was completely right.

If at that time, he and Xiao Chen really offered each other a sky-high price.

In addition to getting a large amount of spirit stones back for free from the Xiong family, they also offended a future foundation-building cultivator.

In just one year, the other party has already established his foundation. He is definitely not a simple character.

So he couldn't help but feel curious about which family Xiao Chen came from.

Xiao Chen was originally observing the items for auction.

As I was looking, I suddenly felt several different pairs of eyes looking at me.

He turned around and looked back, and saw the two Xiong brothers, the "Master Ji" he had met before, and the Tian family foundation-building master who was bidding against him. Then he immediately understood.

I didn't cover up when I made a public appearance, so I guess the other party must have recognized me.

He smiled and nodded in greeting, then continued to look at the rest of the lots.

But in the moment he turned around, Lu Wuqiang, the elder of the Dark Hall of Cang Yan Sect, also saw his face.

Half a year ago, because the Lihuo Sect vigorously cracked down on the demonic cultivators in the territory, it also suppressed the spies of the Cang Yan Sect.

In addition, at that time, the situation in Hezhou was tense and war was about to break out.

So Lu Wuqiang was sent to Hezhou to collect information about the Divine Fire Sect.

Therefore, he had just returned to Lizhou and had not had time to understand the progress of the tasks assigned before leaving.

Now in Qianzhu Tower, I see Xiao Chen is still alive and well.

Lu Wuqiang immediately widened his eyes in disbelief.

Damn it, I couldn’t prevent it despite all my precautions.

Finally, Xiao Chen successfully established his foundation.

Unlike the previous few people, he recognized Xiao Chen's identity at once.

No wonder, the two waves of people sent out before disappeared after a few days, and some even lost contact afterwards.

Since Xiao Chen is alive and well, then if nothing unexpected happens, the two groups of people have completely failed.

A large amount of sect resources were invested in the pruning plan.

As a result, the branches of the Lihuo Sect represented by Xiao Chen not only did not decrease but became more prosperous.

This is simply a stain on his career!

Lu Wuqiang looked at Xiao Chen with eyes full of disgust and anger.

He should have figured it out long ago that they were just a bunch of good-for-nothings and needed someone else to kill them.

At this point, it is not clear whether the other party has noticed that I had sent people to attack him.

He had a deeper understanding of Xiao Chen and knew clearly that he had only taken two years to quickly break through from the first level of Qi Refining to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Naturally, I couldn't help but feel more cautious.

Perhaps within a few years, the other party will grow to a point where he can no longer deal with it.

What if Xiao Chen already has the clues and is just quietly accumulating strength to settle the score in the future? What should we do then?
A gleam of light flashed in Lu Wuqiang's eyes.

The best solution is to find a good opportunity to eliminate all future troubles in advance.

After all, Xiao Chen has low-grade spiritual roots.

The time it takes to build the foundation is less than a year, so no matter how powerful he is, it won’t be that great.

As long as it is dealt with in time, everything is still in time.

Many years ago, Lu Wuqiang had already been a cultivator in the late foundation-building stage.

He also secretly helped the Cang Yan Sect and eliminated several Foundation Establishment cultivators from disobedient small families.

The practical experience can be said to be quite rich.

Of course, it is definitely not appropriate to take action during this ascension ceremony.

But it doesn’t matter. Lu Wuqiang has also made up his mind to send more people to pay more attention to Xiao Chen’s movements.

Next time, he will take action personally, and it will definitely be foolproof.
.
Xiao Chen browsed through the exhibition hall and then went up to the third floor from the stairs on the other side.

The people who had come up earlier were already seated at the eight-immortal tables according to their proximity.

"Junior Brother Xiao, come and sit here."

Manager Chen greeted Xiao Chen. There was a reserved seat at the table where he was sitting.

He seems to like this kind of occasion very much.

Manager Chen was in high spirits today and took the initiative to introduce the cultivators from other sects to him.

"Junior Brother Xiao, to our right are the three major chambers of commerce under the Four Seas Sect. Whether we can find any new and good things this time depends on them."

Xiao Chen had heard a long time ago that the Lihuo Sect had five major families, and the Cangyan Sect also had six major families.

Only under the Sihai Sect, there are three large chambers of commerce.

These chambers of commerce were jointly established by several foundation-building families. They were both from the same sect and had a certain competitive relationship with each other.

Previously, huge profits were made from trade between Lizhou and the outside world.

After the rise of the Divine Fire Sect, it was the most affected.

If we were to ask which of the three major sects is most eager to fight against the Divine Fire Sect, it would undoubtedly be the Four Seas Sect.

Of course, if you were to ask where in Lizhou has the most new things, it would undoubtedly be Sihai Sect.

As they spoke, a maid placed a pot of spiritual wine, a jade cup, and a small hand-painted picture album in front of each monk.

The album contains the latest auction items.

Although it is not as realistic as what is seen in the exhibition hall, the advantage is that the items are simply divided according to their approximate value and type.

At the same time, some less common things are also accompanied by brief text introductions.

No matter what you are interested in, you can directly turn to the corresponding pages to check it out.

In addition, this album has another function, which is that you can take the whole book away as a souvenir of attending this event.

Xiao Chen had already visited the exhibition hall before, and now he took a quick look at the album.

I have basically chosen my goal in my mind.

For him, the most important thing must be the second-level wood-type top-level spiritual liquid that can help him practice.

The second is the universal spiritual liquid. Although it may be a little more expensive, you should try your best to get it.

If the remaining spirit stones allowed, he also wanted that top-grade magic weapon.

Of course, you can also consider buying some spiritual tea or something like that to enjoy it a bit.

But these unimportant things will be considered last.

"The first volume is finished?"

Xiao Chen saw the last page of the album and found that it was only the first volume.

He recalled that some of the things that had appeared in the exhibition hall before were indeed not seen in the album.

If we count those ordinary spiritual creatures, the number is about half and half.

“Are there so many things?”

Xiao Chen thought about it again. There were indeed quite a few cultivators in that row of small houses, and they all participated in the auction.

It seems that there are too many items to be auctioned, so it was simply divided into two sessions.

"Meet the real person!"

"Meet the real person!"

Suddenly, there were a lot of congratulations.

Xiao Chen put down the album, stood up and followed suit.

Then, a young monk in a red robe was seen walking down the stairs from upstairs.

The man was full of vigor and vitality, and you couldn't tell that he was already 161 years old.

Master Mingyue had a smile on his face as he walked to the nearest table and raised a glass of spirit wine.

"I, Gu Lihui, never say anything nice. Today, I can only say two words - happy!"

"I won't say anything more, all my words are in this glass of wine."

"Everyone, please drink this cup to the full!"

As soon as they saw him raise his glass, everyone had already raised theirs.

"We congratulate the Immortal! May his immortal path be long and prosperous!"

Many monks also drank it all in one gulp. For a moment, the whole hall was filled with brilliance and both the guests and the hosts were happy.

Xiao Chen looked at the monks around him, all of whom were bowing their heads.

To be honest, I can't help but feel a little envious.

This is Zhenren Jindan!

Fortunately, with Hex here, I believe the day when I can form a pill will not be far away.

He might also consider holding such a ceremony at that time.

Master Mingyue only showed up once and did not stay long before returning to the top floor.

Less than a quarter of an hour later, the first half of the auction began.

The first item to be auctioned was the top-grade magical folding fan.

The foundation-building auctioneer from Qianzhufang City loudly introduced: "Dear guests, this Wind and Fire Triple Folding Fan you see before you is a top-level magical weapon from Quanzhou."

"The front side is fire, the back side is wind, each with three different transformations."

"When activated, wind and fire collide, making it a first-class offensive weapon."

……

Since it was the first item to be auctioned, the auctioneer spent a full quarter of an hour introducing it.

Then he quoted the price: "The starting price of this item is one thousand spirit stones, and each increase in price must not be less than one hundred."

Well, it’s still the familiar warm-up routine.

Although it was clearly a top-grade magical weapon worth tens of thousands of dollars, it was deliberately priced at an obviously low price.

Naturally, this triggered several monks to bid.

Of course, after all, everyone present were foundation-building cultivators, so they did not participate as enthusiastically as the independent cultivators.

Just a few people took turns raising the price, and soon the price was raised to 11,000 spirit stones.

At this point, the foundation-building efforts of many small families were no longer able to participate in the bidding.

It's not just a question of whether there are so many spirit stones. The key is that even if some families can get them together, they are reluctant to spend them all on this.

But many people did not expect that the competition for the first lot would become so fierce.

The three major chambers of commerce took turns raising the price, and the six major families of the Cang Yan sect refused to give in.

The price of this Wind and Fire Triple Fold Fan actually rose from 11,000 to 31,000 in just a quarter of an hour.

Xiao Chen opened his storage bag and counted his assets with his spiritual sense.

He now has a total of 21,143 spirit stones.

Before this, he felt that he was already very rich.

I never expected that I would be unable to compete for the first item.

Although his initial goal was not this folding fan, after all, he already had the treasure gourd containing fire.

But he still clearly realized that he was just not poor at best, and was not rich at all compared to these big families.

"Thirty-one thousand spirit stones for the first time, are there any fellow Taoists who would like to try it?"

Mei Yong, who was not far away, gestured with his hand: "Thirty-six thousand!"

How many?

Xiao Chen turned around and looked at him. Is the head master so rich?

But he quickly realized that the other party might be using the sect's spirit stones.

Following this line of thought, he observed.

Sure enough, the bidding continued.

And after Mei Yong made his bid, the next bidders were from the leaders of the Cang Yan Sect and the Si Hai Sect.

I understand. I totally understand.

This is not an auction, it's clearly a gift-giving.

In the end, the Wind and Fire Trifold Fan was lifted to 66,600 spirit stones and was successfully taken by the Sihai Sect.

Xiao Chen saw that Mei Yong seemed to be willing to raise his hand, but in the end he did not continue to add.

The prices of the items subsequently fell back to several thousand or even several hundred, alternating continuously.

Soon, it was Xiao Chen's turn to get the Liuhe Divine Water that he wanted.
