Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 251 One Million Spiritual Stones
"One hundred thousand spirit stones for the first time!"

Luo Hanxiang shouted in time: "There is no fellow Taoist who is willing to offer a higher price."

"The last time a nine-petaled golden stamen appeared at an auction was thirty years ago. If you miss this one today, you might have to wait another thirty years."

When she said this, several monks felt nervous.

"I'll give you 110,000 spiritual stones!"

The voice at the beginning sounded again.

This time everyone heard clearly that the other party came from Box B12.

Two distinguished guests on the second floor set their eyes on this spiritual object, and a casual cultivator below who was about to make a bid immediately gave up the idea.

Sure enough, before the auctioneer could call out a price, a new price was heard in Box B 24.

"One hundred and fifty thousand spirit stones!"

Xiao Chen followed up without hesitation and raised the starting price again.

Such an astonishing bidding method instantly caused the entire auction hall to explode.

"Wow, that's 150,000 spirit stones already?"

"If I remember correctly, the most expensive one, the Nine-petal Golden Core, only sold for 140,000 spirit stones. It was only because the Tiangang Sect's chief was eager to cultivate the secret technique of breaking through the rank that he offered such a high price."

"If that's the case, this time we're going to break the record again. We've become witnesses."

"It's a pity that we don't know which sect's genius will take action this time."

……

In Box No. 12, the current senior brother of the Tiangang Sect, Master Kaiyue, frowned. He had originally wanted to emulate the experience of his predecessors.

But faced with such an exaggerated price increase, I was a little hesitant.

"150,000 spirit stones, Daoist friend, you are indeed very discerning. Is there anyone willing to offer a higher price?"

Listening to Luo Hanxiang's urging, Master Kaiyue felt very conflicted.

If it were any other time, he would definitely not follow me and would wait a few more years.

However, in the past two years, with the emergence of hidden Taoist sects one after another and the frequent occurrence of various disasters, the Mercy Sea can be said to be on the verge of a storm.

At this time, you should prepare as soon as possible and try to reach the Nascent Soul stage.

"I'll give you 180,000 spirit stones!"

Master Kaiyue gritted his teeth and raised the price again. This was the highest price he could offer.

Even though he brought more spirit stones and the nine-petal golden stamens were of great significance to him, there were too many other places that required money to form a fetus, and he couldn't waste it all here.

"Two hundred thousand spirit stones!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Chen's quotations came one after another, and the two sentences were almost connected.

The nine-petaled golden stamen is one of the essential spiritual objects in the infant-raising altar. Even if the price doubles in the end, he will not hesitate at all.

Cultivation is the foundation of everything, and spirit stones are just external things.

At such a price, Master Kaiyue was forced to give up the fight, and the others had already been persuaded to withdraw.

Even Luo Hanxiang, who was hosting the auction, stopped shouting.

After waiting for a while and not hearing any new bids, he quickly completed three bids and completed the deal.

At this moment, not only the cultivators below the stage were surprised, but even she was a little excited and curious.

She was excited because as the auctioneer, she would receive a share of the proceeds from items that exceeded the expected price.

She was curious because she had been an auctioneer for more than 200 years and had never seen anyone double the starting price.

Today has really opened my eyes.

"Next is a golden jade bead, this is..."

The auction continued, and it was Xiao Chen's turn to bid, and he finally sold it for 60,000 spirit stones.

However, after he won the nine-petal golden stamen, he fell silent again and did not continue bidding.

This even caused Master Kaiyue to have a hint of suspicion in his heart - could it be that someone in Box 24 was deliberately targeting him?

Did the other party come here just to delay his progress in breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage?

What a despicable method, which force is so shameless?

He hasn't offended many people. Could it be those nosy bald men from Pudu Temple whom he met in the secret realm last time?
"The next one to appear is another unique spiritual object."

After another round of spiritual objects passed, Luo Hanxiang said mysteriously: "Generally speaking, spiritual plants are planted in warm and pleasant places..."

"However...it grows in ice and snow year-round, hence the name Four Seasons Frost Fruit."

"This fruit has gone through four hundred years. The starting price is one hundred thousand spirit stones!"

As early as when she introduced the items, some monks had guessed the items in advance.

Therefore, he immediately bid: "I'll offer 120,000 spirit stones!"

"I'll give you 145,000 spirit stones!"

"I'll pay 150,000!"

However, just as people were fighting for their place below, a voice came from the second floor: "Two hundred thousand!"

Ok?
Hearing the familiar voice, everyone looked up at Box 24.

The hall, which had been very lively just now, suddenly became quiet.

Many monks simply gave up the idea of ​​bidding.

They have basically confirmed that Xiao Chen comes from a powerful force and they definitely cannot compete with him, so they should look at other things.

"You are truly generous, my friend. I admire you!"

An equally young voice suddenly rang out from Box B6: "But I want this fruit. I'll pay two hundred thousand and one hundred!"

First he deliberately started a conversation, and then he set the minimum price increase. It seemed like the other party was trying to cause trouble.

The wandering cultivators below suddenly became excited, it seemed like something good was about to happen.

Of course, Master Qingluan, who was sitting in Box No. 6 drinking tea, was not that bored.

This was just a way for him to test Xiao Chen's identity.

The Thunderbolt Gun beside him reminded: "Be careful and don't overdo it."

Master Qingluan nodded and said, "Don't worry, Senior Brother. I'm just testing his strength."

"The main reason is that my ice magic has reached a bottleneck, and I'm in need of a spiritual object to help me."

"If he doesn't follow, I won't lose anything if I buy it."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a new offer came in.

"Three hundred thousand spirit stones!"

Xiao Chen directly added 100,000 spirit stones. The premise of lowering the price is that he can hold the price down. He wants to see how much weight the other party has.

"Oh my! Who on earth is sitting here? He doesn't even consider spirit stones as money."

"Who says it's not true? Normally, at smaller auctions, you wouldn't see such a huge bid increase until the finale."

"Humph, it's just that I was born into a good family. I don't feel bad about selling my father's land."

Some cultivators have begun to feel jealous, wishing they could have 300,000 spirit stones in their pockets.

However, Master Qingluan was dumbfounded. He never expected that Xiao Chen would directly call out 300,000.

He had just said that he wanted the fruit, so it would be embarrassing if he backed down now.

But if he continued to bargain, and if Xiao Chen gave up, he would have to spend tens of thousands more spirit stones.

Although he is a true disciple, he is still practicing in the sect and has no property of his own. He is really reluctant to spend such a huge amount of money.

Luo Hanxiang was already bidding outside.

Master Qingluan hesitated for a while, but finally chose to remain silent.

Forget it, I can’t afford it.
.
"Let us congratulate the fellow Taoist in Box 24 for winning this Four Seasons Frost Fruit!"

"Everyone, please look over here..."

The auction was still going on, but many cultivators' attention was focused on Xiao Chen.

After hearing the high price of 300,000, Master Kaiyue immediately realized that the other party was not targeting him, but really had no shortage of money.

This made him feel a little strange.

Judging from his voice, he is not very old and has so many spirit stones. There are only a few people like him who can be counted.

But the other party is spending all the spirit stones like this now.

Don’t you want to compete for the spiritual object that will form a baby later?

Piliqiang and others had similar ideas. They all came with inside information in order to compete for the spiritual object that could form a baby.

Therefore, I completely don’t understand what Xiao Chen is doing.

Next, many basic spiritual objects appeared one after another.

However, they all tend to focus on refining equipment, formations, etc.

Including the Moonlight Frost, Silver Silk Spirit Soil and Turtle Embracing Moon Jade that Xiao Chen participated in the auction.

They were sold at high prices of 12,000 spirit stones, 40,000 spirit stones and 230,000 spirit stones respectively.

Basically, they are in line with Kuang Ruihong's expectations, which is enough to prove that the other party is indeed experienced.

"I believe that many of the people who came to participate in the auction today must have established their own families."

Luo Hanxiang held out a white jade box with both hands: "And here is a treasure that can help you add a layer of protection for your family."

"Having it is like having a cash cow..."

"That's right, I have in my hand a piece of intact Chongyuan Lingxi soil!"

"The starting price is three hundred thousand spirit stones!"

During her introduction, many monks were looking forward to it.

Especially those monks who are old and have almost no hope of breaking through, and are now concerned about their families, are even more excited.

But the most important thing is in the box on the second floor.

Several leaders or elders from nearby areas all became interested.

Things like spiritual soil have very limited uses for individual cultivators. After all, a Jindan cultivator's lifespan is only enough time to plant high-level spiritual medicines once or twice.

However, for sects with a long history, it can be used repeatedly.

Therefore, they are the most important contenders.

"I'll offer 350,000 spirit stones!"

"I'll add another 50,000 spirit stones!"

"Four hundred and seventy thousand spirit stones. If there is still a higher price, I will give it to you, fellow Daoist."

"Thank you for your modesty, fellow Daoist. I will offer 480,000 spirit stones."

"Humph, I'll give you 500,000 spirit stones."

……

Everyone was vying for it, pushing the price up to the highest level since the auction began.

In the end, it was sold for 567,600 spirit stones and was won by Box No. 2.

Judging from the serial number alone, the other party must be one of the first group of monks to receive the token, and it is even possible that the Feiye Chamber of Commerce took the initiative to invite the other party to participate.

To be honest, the final price was a little beyond Xiao Chen's expectations.

It is almost twice as much as Kuang Ruihong's original estimate.

But that's what auctions are like.

The value of some things is completely different in the hands of different monks.

Once everyone starts competing with each other and bidding up prices, it is easy for some extremely high prices to appear.

This is a good thing for Xiao Chen, as it is equivalent to the return of a large amount of spirit stones.

After this small peak, Luo Hanxiang introduced more than ten second-level spiritual objects in succession.

It not only gave the foundation-building cultivators who came to participate in the auction a sense of participation.

This also made the hall very lively, and many independent cultivators who successfully bid were smiling happily, warming up for the second half of the bidding that was about to begin.

In the long term.

Doing so can also increase the popularity of the auction and attract a large number of independent cultivators to come next time.

"clang!"

A gong sounded, and Luo Hanxiang, dressed in a very economical outfit, sauntered out from the backstage. "I'm sure some of you Daoists are already waiting impatiently." "Then I won't belabor the point. I'll present to you, one by one, the last ten rare treasures of this auction, which are also the ones you're most looking forward to seeing!"

"Also, from now on, each bid increase must not be less than one thousand spirit stones."

When these words were spoken, even the casual cultivators were shocked.

Although most of them can only watch the show and have no ability to participate in the bidding.

But everyone is indeed eagerly looking forward to this part, which will be the topic of conversation for the next six months or even several years.

They also wanted to witness what the most amazing thing about this auction was.

Which parties are competing with each other, and who offers the highest price?

When the time comes, I can go out and brag to my friends and family that I was there and saw it with my own eyes...

The first thing that appears is a heavenly-level skill that can directly reach the Nascent Soul stage.

In the end, a high price of 700,000 spirit stones was called out.

However, Xiao Chen was not interested in this and did not participate in the competition.

Then there is a fine spiritual weapon that requires three hundred true essences to fully activate.

It was actually raised to a high price of 500,000 spirit stones.

“Is this thing so expensive?”

Xiao Chen was really surprised this time. The Ghost-faced Xuanguan Shield in his hand was also of this level.

It seems that Huangquan Dao is really willing to leave good things for his successors.

But it's true, after all, Huangquan Road was once rich, and a lean camel is still bigger than a horse.

"Many of you must have heard before coming here that this auction will feature a talisman of no less than fourth grade."

Luo Hanxiang brought out a jade plate from the backstage, on which was placed a white jade ring only three inches in size.

"My fellow Taoists, this item is a replica of the magical white jade diamond bracelet."

"After being personally appraised by our Chamber of Commerce's second manager, it is a fifth-grade defensive talisman, with half the power of the original magic weapon."

"There's no need to elaborate on the mystery behind this."

"The starting price is 400,000 Spirit Stones!"

In fact, the news of this auction item had leaked out long ago.

Therefore, many monks come here for it.

As soon as the auction started, two bids appeared simultaneously on the second floor.

They were from Box B11: "I'll give you 500,000 spirit stones!"

And from Box B4: "I'll give you 600,000 spirit stones!"

As if recognizing the other person's voice, a mocking voice came from Box B4: "Oh, isn't this Huiming Arhat?"

"Is Pudu Temple so poor now?"

"As the abbot of a branch academy, he only offered 500,000 spirit stones for a fifth-grade talisman. If this gets out, won't people laugh at his ignorance?"

Arhat Huiming also recognized the other person at this time: "Amitabha, it turns out to be the donor Baiqiao in person."

"How is this poor monk? I do not need your help."

"On the contrary, if you harbor resentment, it may become a demon in your heart that hinders your realm in the future. Please let it go as soon as possible."

The two did not continue to bicker, but instead bid against each other.

The price was soon raised to 780,000 spirit stones, which almost discouraged all the other cultivators.

However, Xiao Chen was considering whether to make a bid.

In fact, he is quite interested in talismans.

The main reason is that I have never seen it before, so I want to see it for myself.
.
He seemed to notice that no one else was bidding.

"Seven hundred and eighty thousand spirit stones once."

After Luo Hanxiang finished bidding, she took advantage of the opportunity to remind him, "Fellow Daoists, this is a brand new fifth-grade talisman."

"Not only can it be used a full ten times, it also provides an extra layer of protection whether it's for combat or exploration."

"It also gives me a chance to sacrifice a talisman and force it to activate."

"Even if we're facing a Nascent Soul monster, we can still hold out for half an hour to three hours based on the remaining spiritual patterns. Perhaps we can find a way out."

what?
There is actually such a saying?
Xiao Chen's eyes lit up, and he no longer hesitated: "800,000 spirit stones!"

You didn't tell him about such an important function earlier, and he almost missed out on something good.

Even though he was facing Yuanying Zhenjun, living three more hours seemed to be of no use.

But what if you can collect all four talismans?

That's a whole day, which is a chance for Night's Edge to refresh.

For Xiao Chen, the best way to use it is to collect a complete set and keep it in the storage ring for future use.

If you are unlucky one day and encounter danger before the cooldown of Night's Edge is over, you can still hold on until the cooldown is over.

Although doing so seems a bit too luxurious.

Spending so many spirit stones just for an unexpected situation that may never happen.

but!

Saving your life is always the top priority!

With Hextech, there is an infinite future while you are alive, but when you die, there is nothing left.

The saying goes, save where you can and spend where you can.

In this regard, Xiao Chen is never stingy.

"Amitabha, since this donor wants it, I will help him today."

Huiming Arhat was already feeling a little pained, and was just holding on for the sake of face. Upon hearing this, he immediately said that he would give up the fight.

"Humph!"

Bai Qiao Zhenren snorted coldly: "Boy, you want this talisman, but I don't agree."

"I'll offer 810,000 spirit stones!"

Ok?
It can be heard that there is a strong resentment in the other party's words.

However, Xiao Chen didn't care about this at all.

If you don't agree, do you have the ability?
"Nine hundred thousand spirit stones!"

He directly added 100,000 spirit stones, which immediately caused a period of silence.

"Nine hundred thousand spirit stones for the first time."

"Nine hundred thousand spirit stones for the second time."

"Nine……"

When Luo Hanxiang bid for the third time, Bai Qiao Zhenren finally spoke: "I'll bid 930,000 spirit stones!"

He carefully counted his storage ring and took out almost all of the spirit stones.

"One million spirit stones!"

Xiao Chen didn't even blink and added another 100,000 spirit stones on the spot.

"Millions of spiritual stones!"

Immediately, a casual cultivator exclaimed: "I've also seen one million spirit stones!"

"Oh my! I didn't expect that before the last item is even finished, a million spirit stones will appear."

"This is incredible! Who is this person in this box? How can he be so rich?"

"Could this be the most valuable item in this auction?"

……

As the new price breakthrough occurred, the entire auction hall became noisy.

However, Master Baiqiao was stunned in the box, his head buzzing.

No?

He couldn't understand why Xiao Chen not only took out one million spirit stones, but also spoke in a relaxed tone as if he was talking about a hundred spirit stones.

The price is already at this level, don’t you have any hesitation when raising the price?

Did your spirit stone come from the wind? Did it fall from the sky? Did someone give it to you for free?
Why can you spend it like this?
The final result was naturally that Xiao Chen successfully obtained the talisman.

Then, Luo Hanxiang held out a jade bottle and said, "The next item is the fourth-level elixir that many fellow Taoists have been waiting for!"

"I believe everyone is also very curious about the effects of this elixir that appeared today."

"To be honest, it only has one function, and that is to prolong your life!"

"Yes, this is a fourth-level Yuanqing Longevity Pill. It can help a Nascent Soul cultivator extend his life by six years, or a Golden Core cultivator extend his life by thirty years."

"The starting price is 600,000 spirit stones!"

The appearance of the fourth-level elixir attracted the attention of many old monsters sitting in the No. 1 box.

However, when they learned that it only had the effect of prolonging life, half of them instantly lost interest.

But the other half, Yuanying Zhenjun, who is no longer young, wants to start preparing early.

“Cough~, cough~!”

Two old and hoarse coughs were heard: "I offer one million spirit stones!"

what?
Another one million spirit stones!

Everyone immediately looked in the direction of the sound, and the old voice actually came from Box No. 7.

That's okay. Yuanying Zhenjun has a wealthy family and is a little older, so even a million spirit stones is no problem for him.

Some even guessed the other party's identity directly: "This voice is so familiar, it seems to be the ancestor of the Yi family in Cangming Sea."

"It's actually him?"

"No wonder he spent one million spirit stones. I heard he took the initiative to put up a bounty for the same amount."

Everyone immediately started talking about it, and many people who knew the situation began to introduce this old-fashioned Nascent Soul cultivator who had lived for more than 1,200 years to the few cultivators who had never heard of him.

Learning of his advanced age once again aroused deep emotion among the crowd.

"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Yi."

Inside Box A3, a simple and honest voice rang out: "Since fellow Daoist needs it, I'll give it to you."

After all, the price is already high.

"cough!"

The Yi family ancestor immediately responded: "Thank you, fellow Daoist Yunfeng."

"So number three is Master Yunfeng. No wonder he's ranked so high."

After hearing the Dharma name, some of the wandering practitioners below suddenly realized.

Someone immediately exclaimed, "But that old True Lord who just killed a Nascent Soul sea monster twenty years ago?"

"Yes, it's him."

"In the entire Mozhang Sect, this senior has the longest experience and the strongest strength. He should be over 800 years old now."

Xiao Chen was a little surprised when he heard everyone's discussion.

I didn’t expect that Master Yunfeng is still so strong and healthy at his old age.

Normally, at his age, he should no longer have the desire to fight, but I didn't expect that he still has such fighting power.

Although no one in the other boxes spoke, it was obvious that no one wanted to compete with Mr. Yi by paying a premium.

They haven't taken so many longevity elixirs, so there's no need to waste money on them.

Moreover, as there are only a limited number of Yuanying Zhenjun, speaking to each other is almost like exposing their identities.

If you are not in a hurry to extend your life, it will not be good for your reputation if this matter gets out.

Luo Hanxiang also realized this: "One million spirit stones for the first time, one million spirit stones..."

"Wait a moment!"

Just as she was preparing to go through the process, a sinister voice suddenly rang out: "Little girl, why are you shouting so fast?"

"I want to increase the price. I want to offer an extra thousand spirit stones."
