Longevity starts with choosing Hextech enhancement

Chapter 75 Repairing the Green Gourd and Starting the Bidding

As expected, Xiao Chen found two more spiritual snow lotuses in the storage bag.

At the same time, there were five bottles of Qingmu Spirit Liquid and a four-leaf golden peach.

This kind of golden peach can grow a leaf every hundred years, and four leaves represent its efficacy for four hundred years.

Xiao Chen felt a little regretful: "What a pity, if this was a five-leaf golden peach, it could definitely serve as a foundation-building spiritual object."

However, it can also be seen from these things that One-Eye is also consciously collecting spiritual objects for foundation building.

And perhaps in order to participate in the bidding for foundation-building spiritual objects, there are very few things in these two storage bags.

Except for a few spiritual objects.

There were only three bottles of fasting pills, a dagger for prying the door, a secret book, a jade pendant, a wine gourd, a nightgown, and some leftover beef from lunch, among other miscellaneous items.

In contrast, there were a total of 2,123 spirit stones in the two storage bags.

He flipped open the secret book and took a look. It was the "Luotian Zanpaku Divine Sword" that the One-Eye had used before, and it was also a Xuan-level spell.

"No wonder you can cut through my thorns so easily."

Xiao Chen put away his magic power and picked up the jade pendant again.

"What is this, some kind of keepsake?"

He looked at the jade pendant curiously. It was a piece of Xiuyan jade, dark red in color.

The front was engraved with a strange pattern he didn't recognize, while the back was a smooth cut.

The jade pendant is not a magic weapon and its material is very brittle.

However, the cut was extremely smooth, and considering the lines and size, if nothing unexpected happened, what he held in his hand should only be half a jade pendant.

"Bang bang bang!"

A knock on the door interrupted Xiao Chen's thoughts.

He put away the jade pendant, opened the door, and found that the visitor was the manager of the yard he rented yesterday.

When the other party saw him open the door, he seemed relieved: "Friend Xiao, someone said they heard the sound of fighting over there last night."

"But there was some trouble? Are you okay?"

Xiao Chen looked surprised: "Ah? Really? I don't know."

Then he frowned and said, "Oh, I fell asleep early last night. I thought we were safe here."

"Of course it's safe," the steward said immediately with a smile, "We've set up a night patrol team specifically to ensure you all get enough rest."

"It must have just been a mistake. Since Fellow Daoist Xiao is fine, I'll take my leave now."

Night patrol?

Xiao Chen looked at the manager walking away, a little speechless.

He didn't even see half of the patrol team last night.

Then he closed the door again, went back to his room and took out the green gourd.

Now that I have obtained the Green Wood Spirit Liquid from the One-Eye Man, I can use it to repair the Green Gourd.

It took six days to refine three streams of Qingmu Spirit Liquid.

The green gourd, which had originally fallen into the category of low-grade magic weapon, finally returned to the category of mid-grade magic weapon.

The original green wood spiritual energy inside finally grew stronger again and was successfully divided into two.

"Hey, two streams of Qingmu spiritual energy?"

Xiao Chen tried to inject magic power, and this time he consumed a full four magic powers before he successfully drove the green gourd.

Two streams of green wood spiritual energy surged out and transformed into two nine-foot-tall green wood generals when they landed.

Not only that, but one of them was holding a broadsword, while the other held a ball-headed hammer in both hands.

"The weapons are actually different, quite interesting."

Xiao Chen guessed that since this was the case, the Green Gourd might be able to generate more Green Wood Generals.

He tried adding another dose of Green Wood Spirit Liquid, and sure enough, just like before, he could continue refining it.

However, this time, the two existing Qingmu spiritual energies were simultaneously strengthened slightly. It seemed that more Qingmu spiritual fluid was needed to promote the next change.

After a day of serious review of the exercises, the day of the trade fair arrived.

Xiao Chen pushed the door open and went out. Just then, two cultivators, one old and one young, came out from the courtyard opposite.

The old man has white hair, but the girl is only 28 years old. They look similar and look like grandfather and granddaughter.

The girl looked at him curiously. Over two thousand monks had gathered in the Gravel Valley in the past two days, making it extremely lively.

She went shopping for six consecutive days and became familiar with several neighbors.

The only thing I haven't seen is any monks coming out of the yard opposite. At first I thought the yard was empty.

She excitedly wanted to say hello to her new neighbor, but the old man grabbed her and glared at her.

She asked in confusion: "Grandpa, what's wrong?"

The old man watched Xiao Chen walk away, his back disappearing around the corner.

Then he turned around and whispered a warning, "Don't get close to that young man. He's different from us and the other neighbors."

The girl was a little curious: "He doesn't look very powerful. He doesn't even have a flying sword or a robe. How can he be different?"

"People like him have storage bags."

The old man's tone was filled with envy: "Today is the day of the auction. He came here early, but didn't leave until today. It's obvious that he came here to bid for the treasures."

"Ah, treasure!"

The girl exclaimed, then covered her mouth with her hand.

The old man nodded and said, "Let's go and join in the fun in the valley. Grandpa will take you to broaden your horizons."

"Fifty years ago, when the old man of the Xiong family was still around, he also held a trade fair here, and I followed your great-grandfather..."

The girl interrupted, "We entered the valley early to get a good position. Grandpa, you've said this eight times in the past few days."

……

In the Gravel Valley, the Xiong family had already built a platform on a high ground.

This is to make it convenient for the public auction later so that the independent cultivators from all directions can clearly see the things on the stage without having to stand too close.

Ever since the passing of the old man of the Xiong family, there has not been such a huge crowd in the Gravel Valley for forty years.

Nearing noon, the monks in the valley stood in groups of two or three.

Looking around, you can see that the mountains and fields are full of people.

On the high platform, Xiong Qiming, the current head of the Xiong family, was satisfied and expectant - to restore the reputation of the Xiong family, starting from today.

He turned to look at his younger brother beside him: "Qiliang, how many people from other families have come?"

Xiong Qiliang reported: "The Ji family, the Du family, and the Guo family have all sent their younger generations, but the Hong family hasn't sent anyone yet."

"Also, Tian Jianning from the Tian family also came here with two younger generations."

"I heard that he has broken through to the third level of foundation building and taken over Hulu Lake."

Xiong Qiming was silent for a moment after hearing this: "It doesn't matter. As long as the family can rebuild the Gravel Valley, it won't be long before we can take back Hulu Lake."

"By the way, has anyone been causing trouble recently?"

Xiong Qiliang shook his head: "We haven't found any robbery cultivators yet. The day before yesterday, three of them were fighting at the valley entrance, and our people have already locked them up."

Xiong Qiming warned: "Keep an eye on the people below and don't let them slack off."

"Murder and robbery are unavoidable, but it absolutely cannot happen within twenty miles of Gravel Valley. It will jeopardize the reputation of our trade fair."

He checked some details with Xiong Qiliang.

It was not until a quarter past noon that he walked to the front of the stage and said, "I am deeply grateful to all of you Taoist friends for taking the trouble to come from afar to show your support."

"Please allow me to reiterate, this public auction is a cash-on-delivery auction. Buy on the spot, deliver on the spot."

"Everyone has waited for so long, I won't say any more nonsense."

"Now, the bidding begins!"
