Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 215 Gao Changgeng: Where the hell did he come from?
The Xianzhi Soul-Soothing Pill was very valuable, and soon a cultivator took out seven mutant demon pills and wanted to exchange them.

However, no one expected that Master Momei would also bid, and directly offered a high price of ten demon pills, successfully obtaining the elixir.

His sudden action puzzled Master Zhideng who was standing beside him.

what are you doing?

If you want Xianzhi Soul-Sucking Pills, why don't you buy them directly from me?

They are all quite familiar with each other.

Therefore, Master Di Deng directly sent a telepathic message, secretly asking, "Daoist Mo Mei, isn't your price too high?"

"According to the market price, seven demon pills would be enough, right?"

Immediately, Master Momei explained, "Fellow Daoist, if someone else asked me this question, I would definitely not tell him."

"But since you asked, I don't have to hide it."

"Do you know how much a mutant demon pill costs in the outer sea nowadays?"

True Lord Holding the Lantern frowned slightly. Although he was one of the few Nascent Soul cultivators left in the inner sea, he also often paid attention to the news from the outer sea.

The problem is that I haven't heard of any changes?

He thought about it carefully and said, "I asked the Chamber of Commerce half a year ago. The price in the outer sea was slightly lower at that time, but it was still 27,000 spirit stones per piece."

On the inner sea side, it’s around 30,000 spirit stones, not much difference.

"Fellow Daoist with the Lantern, that's not the case."

Master Momei shook his head slightly: "The price on Storm Sea has now dropped to 26,000 spirit stones, and this is only a temporary trend."

"I heard that the price of the Mercy Sea, which is farther away, has now fallen below 20,000 spirit stones."

"I estimate that by next year, when the cheap demon pills from there are shipped over, our prices will drop significantly again."

"I originally planned to take a year off after this trip, so it's not a loss to trade directly for 20,000 spirit stones."

The open sea is just a general term.

For Nascent Soul cultivators, the area is roughly divided into different sea areas.

Closer to the inland sea is the Sea of ​​Storms, which is about four times the size of the inland seas.

Further out is the Kunpeng Sea, followed by the Cibei Sea. It is rumored that there are a large number of Buddhist practitioners there.

Because the outer seas are often fraught with natural dangers and a large number of demonic beasts roam the route, even a Nascent Soul cultivator who wants to reach the Mercy Sea often needs more than half a year.

Therefore, any changes in the price of demon pills over there will not be reflected here until the second half of the year at the earliest.

The subsequent bidding was much more subdued.

Originally, Xiao Chen was still expecting whether Ling Tianyi could come up with something different.

Unexpectedly, he was similar to the cultivator before him, using ordinary fourth-grade elixirs to make up the numbers.

Moreover, the terms of the transaction were actually third-level spiritual objects for cultivation, and they specifically stated that they did not want fourth-level items, spiritual tools, or spiritual materials.

You can see that he is very pragmatic.

Until the last table, no special elixir appeared.

This disappointed many people, as they were expecting to see more good things.

However, when it was the turn of the last young monk, he took out a unique elixir, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Although the elixir was wrapped in true essence, no elixir fragrance came out.

However, there was a spiritual light above it that formed auspicious clouds, and seven fine elixir patterns surrounded the elixir body. It was actually a seven-patterned elixir!
"Hello everyone present, I, Ji Shengcun, the junior, greet you."

He first stood up and bowed to everyone, then slowly said, "Please allow me to introduce this elixir. It's called Qianyuan Creation Pill."

"It is made with a unique secret method, and contains the power of creation."

"It can plant a seed of Qianyuan Creation within the user's Danzhong acupoint, and condense the Qi of Creation."

"This energy is the energy of heaven and earth, and it contains the wonders of all things."

"It can attack, defend against enemies, heal wounds, and relieve disasters. With one Qi in hand, it can fully demonstrate the wonders of the five elements."

"If you cultivate well in the future, you can comprehend it and transform it into the seeds of the Five Elements, increasing the success rate of forming a fetus by 10%."

After Ji Shengcun finished talking about the advantages, he stated his conditions: "However, this Qianyuan Creation Pill can only be exchanged for a fourth-level spiritual object. I don't want any other items."

However, when he finished his introduction, there was silence all around.

No one bid at all.

This is not to say that everyone does not have fourth-level spiritual objects, nor does it mean that they think the Qianyuan Creation Pill is not good.

The main reason is that no one believes that what Ji Shengcun just said is true. Instead, they think it is too exaggerated.
If it really has such a strong effect, would you be willing to replace it like this?

Even City Lord Huo in the pavilion was a little unsure. He had heard of the Qianyuan Creation Pill, but this was also the first time he had encountered it.

So he took the initiative to ask, "Wait a minute for the transaction. Mr. Ji, could you please let me check this pill first?"

Ji Shengcun had no objection and wrapped the pill with his true essence and sent it over.

City Lord Huo took the Qianyuan Creation Pill and examined it carefully for a moment. It was exactly the same as what he had seen recorded in an ancient book.

He extended his hand to return the pill, but reminded: "There is nothing wrong with the pill itself, but I hope that Ji Xiaoyou can explain the advantages and disadvantages in detail to avoid misunderstandings."

This thing also has its drawbacks. If the deal is not done clearly, it will affect the reputation of Baicao City in the future.

Upon hearing this, Ji Shengcun didn't hide it any further: "Thank you for your advice, Master. I was too brief."

"There are two points to note when condensing the Qi of Creation."

"First, the condensation process consumes the cultivator's true essence. If the quality or quantity of the true essence is insufficient, it will slow down the generation of the Qi of Creation."

"The second is to cultivate the energy of creation, which requires consuming some of the cultivator's energy every day."

"So you can't condense too much good fortune energy in a short period of time, so as not to damage your foundation."

The second point is particularly important. For most Jindan Zhenren, they are unable to maintain a sufficient amount of Creation Qi due to their limited essence and energy.

Of course, this problem is actually easy to solve.

It simply means that the conditions for using the energy of creation are higher.

Those present were all elites, so naturally they would not worry about the insufficient quality of their true essence, nor would they lack spiritual objects or means to restore their energy.

Therefore, when they heard that City Lord Huo guaranteed that the elixir was real, everyone suddenly became enthusiastic again.

Someone immediately made an offer: "I'm willing to pay one Golden Branch Rose Fruit, plus 300,000 Spiritual Stones."

However, Ji Shengcun immediately reminded him: "Senior, please allow me to explain."

"I only need a fourth-level spiritual object at the moment. I don't want anything else, including spiritual stones, spiritual tools, techniques, etc."

Then he took the initiative to ask the people around him: "Senior, please offer a golden rose fruit. Is there a higher price?"

Another meaning here is that if there is no new bid, he is willing to accept only the Golden Rose Fruit to complete the exchange. The reminder just now was not deliberately directed at the other party.

However, his condition left everyone a little dumbfounded.
.
In fact, when it comes to spirit stones, the cultivators here are not short of them.

But there are really only a few fourth-level spiritual objects that he carries with him.

In particular, even if there are fourth-level spiritual objects on hand, they have already been planned for other uses and are not convenient to take out for exchange.

But there are always people who bring more than one spiritual object.

After a moment's thought, a cultivator spoke again: "I will give you a Qingwei Liumo grass."

Although they are all fourth-level spiritual creatures, there are also differences in high and low.

Qingwei Liumocao is a little rarer than Jinzhimeiguo.

"I'll give you two Five Yang White True Flowers!"

"I'll give you two green-leaf Shaoyin ginseng!"

……

The bidding sounds continued, and everyone gradually came to their senses and understood the benefits of the Qianyuan Creation Pill.

So they started fighting with each other.

Xiao Chen naturally didn't want to miss this opportunity, so he immediately said: "I am willing to offer three stalks of Scattered Leaf Golden Light Grass."

This price is not low. Scattered Leaf Golden Light Grass is the main ingredient of Mingjin Huasheng Pill, and it is also considered expensive among the fourth-level spiritual herbs.

Immediately, many monks sighed with regret.

The highest price they could offer was also slightly lower than this. The key point was that Ji Shengcun did not accept spirit stones in the bidding.

Upon hearing this, Hou Xingyao and Lu Lihui, who were sitting at the same table, looked at Xiao Chen in surprise.

Especially Lu Lihui, he felt that something was wrong.

Being able to produce three top-level fourth-grade spiritual herbs, and three identical spiritual herbs, is not something that a casual cultivator without any background can do.

On the contrary, Lu Jingfu had already anticipated this.

Seeing this scene, he smiled slightly.

Some hidden sects would specially set up spiritual medicine gardens to cultivate designated high-level spiritual herbs.

He didn't even need to look to conclude that the scattered-leaf golden grass in Xiao Chen's hand was artificially grown in the spiritual medicine garden, and the years should be exactly the same.

There was silence for a moment, and it seemed that no one had bid anymore.

Ji Shengcun also stood up and prepared for the transaction.

"Wait a moment!"

Gao Changgeng took his time to speak, "I'll give you two Righteousness Fruits and two Mountain-Transforming Spiritual Flowers."

He had been silent before, simply because he was too lazy to compete again and again.

Seeing that the highest price was almost decided, he intervened before the transaction was completed.

When everyone heard this, they immediately looked at him with envy.

You know, Gao Changgeng had already taken out several fourth-level spiritual herbs after he came out of the Hundred Herbs Secret Realm.

I didn't expect that he still had stock, and there were four of them.

The chief of the big sect was indeed wealthy, far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Xiao Chen also frowned slightly, and then said, "I'll add another thousand-year-old weeping spirit flower."

As he spoke, he took out four spiritual herbs: "These four spiritual herbs have been planted for about a thousand years, and are much better than ordinary spiritual fruits."

It is worth mentioning that the Zhengqi Fruit is an ordinary spiritual fruit that takes three hundred years to mature and withers in four hundred years.

Lu Jingfu took a look immediately and found that the four spiritual herbs were indeed of the same age.

Especially the scattered-leaf golden grass, which is exactly the same and looks like it was planted in the same month.

He is now completely sure of his guess that Xiao Chen comes from the hidden Taoist sect.

Gao Changgeng on the left was a little unhappy. He shouted directly: "I'll add two more Shining God Flame Fruits."

The Zhaoshenyanguang Fruit is an eight-hundred-year-old spiritual fruit. These two are almost equivalent to three Zhengqi Fruits.

As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of the people around him changed from envy to jealousy.

No one would think that Gao Changgeng obtained these spiritual objects by his own ability.

In fact, this is exactly the case. These are all rewards from the top management of the Zhaixing Sword Pavilion.

Many cultivators felt jealous, especially those like the owner of Fengyufang, who had finally obtained the qualification to participate in the spiritual medicine banquet, and could not help but feel jealous.

It would be great if they also had such a background. It’s really frustrating to compare yourself with others.

Gao Changgeng disagreed. He glanced at Xiao Chen and then curled up the corners of his mouth slightly.

The other party didn't even have a noticeable spiritual weapon on him, so he looked unremarkable, and there were no obvious signs of a major power. He didn't even bother to make harsh remarks, because not everyone was qualified to be evaluated by him.

At least you have to be at the same level as Ling Tianyi. If you are lower, there will be nothing to communicate.

Xiao Chen was a little speechless at this time. Why did the bidding start?

To be honest, he actually didn't want to have anything to do with such a big force anymore.

If the situation were different, he would have given up.

However, the Qianyuan Creation Pill is related to the success rate of forming a baby!

One percent may not seem like a lot, but it is really a lot.

Especially for Xiao Chen, his low-grade spiritual roots could not help him at all, but were instead a burden.

Without the help of other spiritual objects and elixirs to break through the levels, there has never been a precedent in history of a cultivator with low-grade spiritual roots who successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Even if there is a elixir that can break through the levels, it is still rare to see one, maybe once every few thousand years.

Therefore, any additional measures should not be missed.

He flipped through the storage ring and spoke again: "I'll add three more purple gold Bodhi fruits."

???

Now, everyone's attention was drawn to Xiao Chen.

What the hell?
Hou Xingyao's eyes widened. Purple Gold Bodhi is a top-level fourth-grade spiritual fruit. How could he take out three at once?

What kind of luck is this? Did I find a Bodhi tree directly?
Lu Lihui was dumbfounded. No, wait a minute, who are you?
He finally realized that Xiao Chen's failure to participate in the fight for ordinary elixirs before was not as incompetent as he thought.

On the contrary, they just look down on ordinary elixirs.

It's bad. He was busy chatting with the two elders of Wu Lei Temple, but neglected the person he should have won over the most.

Lu Jingfu had anticipated this. He even began to wonder whether the hidden Taoist sect behind Xiao Chen had planted just one Bodhi tree, or more than one?
How many elixirs does the other party have?

Is it possible that the two sides can reach some deals on spiritual medicine in the future?
As long as the scarce resources start to flow, profits will naturally be generated.

Even the Lantern Master who was watching the show had a serious expression on his face. He was collecting spiritual objects such as the Purple Gold Bodhi.

Why are there three of them here?

He originally wanted to make a swap and use other fourth-level spiritual herbs as a replacement.

But after thinking about it, I feel that this is a bit embarrassing, so I'd better forget it.

He just took an extra look at Xiao Chen, intending to ask him after the banquet if he had any extra purple gold Bodhi.

If there is, he is willing to buy it at a premium.

Gao Changgeng frowned rarely, looked at Xiao Chen and recalled carefully, making sure that he really didn't know such a person.

Where the hell did he come from?
The key problem is that he doesn't have enough fourth-level spiritual herbs.
.
Originally, it was actually enough, but Gao Changgeng wanted to become famous, so after coming out of the Baicao Secret Realm, he took his spiritual herbs and pretended that they were harvested in the secret realm.

He publicly exchanged some Nine Lights Mysterious Pills in front of everyone, and thus used up five fourth-level spiritual herbs.

As a result, he no longer has enough fourth-level spiritual herbs.

But no matter what, we can't lose face.

Gao Changgeng tried to impress Ji Shengcun by spending a fortune: "I can add one million spirit stones!"

Faced with the sky-high price of one million spirit stones, most cultivators would be tempted.

Unfortunately, Ji Shengcun didn't give him face: "Excuse me, senior, I only want a fourth-level spiritual herb."

"you……"

Gao Changgeng subconsciously wanted to ask, do you know who I am?

But this is the City Lord's Mansion, and City Lord Huo is in the pavilion, so he didn't dare to say it.

Instead, he shook his head and snorted coldly.

Several fellow students passing by immediately whispered words of comfort.

This made Gao Changgeng even more angry, and he even started to hate Ji Shengcun, the ignorant guy.

He doesn't even want one million spirit stones. He's so shameless.

And that Xiao Chen, he doesn't know whether to live or die.

Openly snatching his elixir away was a loss of face for him.

You dare to take anything, right? You're not afraid of burning your hands.

Seeing that Gao Changgeng seemed to have given up, Ji Shengcun went straight to Xiao Chen to exchange items.

The many cultivators present also watched him take out three deep purple and light blue purple gold Bodhi fruits.

Many people looked at this slightly unfamiliar face and began to wonder about his origins.

They also wanted to know where Xiao Chen came from?

Some people wanted to win him over and wanted to wait until the banquet was over to find out some information.

Some people also have extraordinary insights and think of the hidden Taoist tradition.

Some people couldn't help but feel jealous when looking at those fourth-level spiritual herbs. They began to estimate Xiao Chen's strength and calculated the activities of the robber cultivator in their minds.

With the completion of the last transaction, the spiritual medicine banquet came to an end.

City Lord Huo was as decisive as ever. He said only two sentences before announcing the end of the banquet.

But at the end, he added: "Please stay for a moment, young friend Jin Guang. I have two small questions that I'm curious about."

The cultivators who had originally planned to win over or follow Xiao Chen after the banquet were all dumbfounded.

After the crowd dispersed, they did not dare to stay near the City Lord's Mansion and watch.

After all, playing tricks under the nose of a Nascent Soul cultivator is simply asking for too much from your own life.

"Don't panic, my friend. I don't eat people."

After everyone else had left, City Lord Huo said with a smile, "Come, come, come to the pavilion."

"Actually, I'm asking these two questions on behalf of fellow Daoist Lantern."

"Excuse me, my friend, do you have any extra purple gold bodhi?"

"If so, would you be willing to make a deal?"

An ordinary cultivator would probably be panicking at this time.

However, Xiao Chen had the Night's Edge as his support, so he was quite confident. He replied calmly, "I dare not hide it from you, Master. I do have the Purple Gold Bodhi in my hand."

"Earlier in the Hundred Herbs Secret Realm, I encountered the Purple Gold Bodhi Tree."

"There are twelve purple gold bodhi seeds on it."

"I previously took out one to exchange for the Immortal Ganoderma Soul-Soothing Pill, and just now I took out three to exchange for the Qianyuan Creation Pill."

"The rest are all in the storage ring. I'm not willing to use them."

"If the True Lord wants to trade, I am willing to exchange it at the market price."

Upon hearing this, City Lord Huo first glanced at Master Holding the Lantern.

Seeing the other party nod slightly, it indicated that what Xiao Chen said was true.

Few people know that the Lord of the Lantern has practiced a technique called the Heart Lamp. When released, the Heart Lamp shines in all directions, illuminating the surrounding illusions and revealing the true.

If you keep this in mind, it can also have a small additional function - to identify the truthfulness of the words of low-level monks.

Since Master Ti Deng nodded, City Lord Huo didn't need to think any more: "That means there are still eight Bodhi fruits."

"Fellow Daoist with the Lantern, you shouldn't need that much, right?"

In fact, no one would think that they have too much of this top-grade spiritual fruit.

City Lord Huo just wanted to not exchange them all, but at least leave one for Xiao Chen.

This is just like leaving a small path when arranging the square before.

Compared with other Yuanying Zhenjun, City Lord Huo's personality is not so overbearing.

True Lord Ti Deng also laughed and said, "I was saying that the Immortal Zhi Soul-Swallowing Pill looked familiar. It seems we have a destiny."

"Twenty years ago, there was an auction in the Wanxian Islands where the Purple Gold Bodhi appeared."

"The final price was 320,000 spirit stones."

"How about we trade seven Purple Gold Bodhis for this price?"

One is worth 320,000 spirit stones, and seven are worth 2.24 million spirit stones.

Xiao Chen did some mental calculations and had to admit that Huangquan Dao had indeed left him a huge fortune.

Of course, if he had a choice, he still didn't want to exchange money directly.

Too bad he had no choice.

There are five Yuanying True Lords here. It is better to avoid conflict unless it is absolutely necessary.

In a quarter of an hour, Xiao Chen gave it his all and ran about three thousand miles at most. This speed was already very, very fast for a Jindan Zhenren.

However, facing a Yuanying Zhenjun is not necessarily safe. It is possible that one of them has cultivated some advanced tracking methods and can complete the pursuit across thousands of miles.

So he immediately took out seven purple gold bodhi seeds and said, "Follow the True Lord's instructions."

After the transaction was completed, City Lord Huo gave him a few extra words of encouragement and then waved goodbye.

Xiao Chen immediately turned around and left, returning directly to the courtyard of the inn.

After opening the Nine Apertures Chain Array, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Practice, I must practice well from now on and strive to break through as soon as possible."

As long as you don’t become a Yuanying Zhenjun, you have to be careful and cautious in everything you do in the Eastern Region.

It just so happened that I got a lot of demon pills at this spiritual medicine banquet, which can increase the speed of cultivation.

Xiao Chen first experienced the golden demon pill, and its effect was almost the same as that of the water demon pill.

The only difference is that the Kuishui Qi in the demon pill has turned into Xinjin Qi.

However, he still needed the Life Pill to help refine it, and in the end it also helped him increase four true essences.

Next came the wood-attributed demon pill, which this time turned into the Yi wood energy.

Perhaps because of the same attributes, it finally helped him increase five true essences.

But when you think about it, it is exactly as he thought before. Using water-attribute demon pills is the most cost-effective, after all, it is cheap.

For the next month, Xiao Chen stayed at home.

Not only did he refine a demon pill every day, he also put aside his other spells and concentrated on practicing the "Rejuvenation Sutra of All Things".

The two-pronged approach indeed produced significant results.

As all thirty-two demon pills were consumed, the total amount of true energy in his flawless golden pill reached three hundred and seven.

If divided according to the nine levels of realm, it can be compared to a cultivator at the third level of Golden Core.

Unfortunately, it is still some distance away from the limit of 333 true essences.

"Alas, the demon pills are still not enough."

Xiao Chen calculated that with about six more demon pills and his own dedicated practice, he would be able to reach the great perfection of the early stage of the Golden Core before May and attempt a breakthrough.

"But the Jin family hasn't left yet, so it's inconvenient to go out hunting."

"Where can I get some demon pills?"
