Chaos Spirit Field

Zhao Hao was completely desperate when he heard the offer for Box No. 1. Even if he had spirit stones, he didn't dare to bid. He said helplessly to the woman next to him, "Jun Ya, I'm sorry to disappoint you..." His voice was full of frustration and loss.

However, just as they were feeling depressed, a clerk from the Immortal Treasure Pavilion suddenly appeared and walked up to Zhao Shanhe. He respectfully handed over a bag of spirit stones and said, "Young Master Zhao, these are the spirit stones we won from this auction, totaling 2.7 million. Please take a look and count them."

Zhao Shanhe scanned the bag with his spiritual sense, confirming the correct number of spirit stones inside. He nodded and said, "Well, there's nothing else to do. You may leave first."

After the people from the Immortal Treasure Pavilion left, Zhao Hao immediately put on a flattering smile. He leaned close to Zhao Shanhe and whispered, "Third brother, it turns out that the top-grade foundation-building pill that just sold for a high price was made by you!"

Zhao Shanhe scratched his head and replied somewhat embarrassedly, "Brother, I really don't have any extra Foundation Establishment Pills on me right now. After the auction is over, I can help my sister-in-law refine some, right?"

Hearing this, Zhao Hao's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief, "Third brother, you refined the top-grade foundation-building pill! I remember you said you had five-element spiritual roots, and now you're in the foundation-building stage. How did you do it? If you can't tell me, just pretend I didn't ask."

Zhao Shanhe did not hide it. He planned to spread the news through Zhao Hao's mouth to prevent others from misunderstanding that he had obtained some great opportunity.

"Brother, there's nothing to hide between us brothers. I got a lot of materials for refining foundation-building pills in the Immortal Grass Secret Realm. I hit a bottleneck in my cultivation, and in a state of frustration, I started refining pills. I just happened to refine a top-grade foundation-building pill, and I wanted to try it out. Who knew the effect would be surprisingly good? It took me less than half a year to go from the seventh level of Qi Refining to the foundation-building stage."

Gao Junya questioned, "Brother Shanhe, someone has done this before, and the grass on the grave was several feet high."

"Sister-in-law, ordinary people definitely can't do it. I have five elements spiritual roots, and my spiritual roots have grown to perfection. I have also practiced body-building techniques. As long as these conditions are met, you can try it. No more words, the auction has started again."

Inside Box One, Grandmaster Li gazed intently at the top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill before him and sighed, "Junior Brother Liu, this pill is indeed as you said. Its quality is almost at the level of a Rank Two elixir. Even I, myself, cannot reach that level. I wonder which Grandmaster created this divine product?"

Junior-Martial-Nephew Liu looked ashamed and replied, "Uncle-Martial-Master Li, this bottle of top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill was hastily delivered by the Immortal Treasure Pavilion. Time was tight, so I was unable to inquire about its source in time."

Grandmaster Li nodded slightly, expressing his understanding. After a moment's silence, he suddenly spoke, "This Grandmaster's alchemy skills are extraordinary, far superior to ours. Junior Brother Liu, find Qian Duoduo and tell him I'd like to meet this Grandmaster."

Junior Brother Liu took the order and left in a hurry. The top-grade foundation-building pill was sold at an astonishingly high price, which was a good start for the auction.

However, Zhao Shanhe tried several more times in the following auctions, but each time he came up empty-handed. His meager wealth pales in comparison to the powerful masters of the cultivation world. Watching each treasure being snapped up, Zhao Shanhe couldn't help but sigh: No wonder this top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill was listed as the first lot; it turned out to be the least valuable.

As precious elixirs targeted at Nascent Soul cultivators appeared on the market, the atmosphere at the auction grew increasingly heated, reaching one climax after another. Zhao Shanhe gradually grew bored, planning to leave as soon as he could bid for the fragments of the Water Injection Sutra. Watching others having so much fun while being unable to join in was a bit frustrating.

The auctioneer's introduction of the fragment of "Water Notes Sutra" was a bit strange. He described the shortcomings of this secret book in great detail, as if he was afraid that others would bid for it.

"I'll offer ten thousand." Zhao Shanhe made his bid, and Zhao Hao quickly advised, "Third brother, the auctioneer is talking about top-grade spirit stones. Do you have any?"

Zhao Shanhe said nonchalantly, "I thought it was a mid-grade spirit stone. There were other people offering it, so it wouldn't be mine."

Those big guys were still watching, but the auctioneer had already dropped the hammer, as if he was afraid that the secret book would not sell. Zhao Shanhe bought it at the reserve price of 10,000 high-grade spirit stones.

Zhao Shanhe was holding Yang Hui and preparing to leave when Zhao Hao asked, "Third brother, the auction isn't over yet. Where are you going?"

"Brother, do you have 10,000 high-grade spirit stones? If you don't run now, when will you run?"

Zhao Hao followed Zhao Shanhe out of the VIP box in a daze. Only after leaving the auction venue did he realize something was wrong. He said, "Third brother, the monk may run away, but the temple cannot. I can't owe the Xianbao Pavilion any debts."

"Brother, I haven't received any secret manuals, so naturally I don't need to pay with spirit stones. Three foundation-building pills should be enough for my sister-in-law."

"Third brother, nothing will happen if you don't pay the bill."

Gao Junya said: "Brother Hao, didn't you see that Brother Shanhe was teasing you? How could the Immortal Treasure Pavilion make such a low-level mistake?"

At this moment, Qian Duoduo came over and said, "Brother, Grandmaster Li wants to see you. I wonder if it's convenient for you."

"Sister, tell me whether I should see you or not."

"Grandmaster Li is a man of integrity and likes to support the younger generation. It would be good for you to meet him."

"Then meet me. I just want to refine some foundation-building pills for my friends."

When Zhao Shanhe saw Grandmaster Li, he felt that his cultivation level far exceeded Qiantangjiang's. He might be a great master of the Divine Transformation Realm. He quickly saluted and said, "This kid Zhao Shanhe greets you, senior."

Grandmaster Li said, "You made those foundation-building pills."

Zhao Shanhe replied, "Words are not enough. I just want to refine a furnace of foundation-building pills. I would like to ask for your guidance, senior."

"You're a good kid, very much to my taste. Let's get started."

Zhao Shanhe said to Qian Duoduo, "Sister, please arrange an alchemy room for us."

When the group arrived at the alchemy room, Zhao Shanhe said, "Senior, as long as you don't interfere with my alchemy, you can watch as much as you want."

Zhao Shanhe finished his words and began to refine the elixir. A divine consciousness appeared in the furnace, but he ignored it, concentrating on refining the elixir. Grandmaster Li couldn't help but admire him, "Unperturbed by praise or criticism, he possesses the demeanor of a master. He's a promising talent, decisive in his actions, and his control of the fire is impeccable."

Grandmaster Li had already decided to accept him as his disciple. The more he looked at the pill, the more he liked it. When the pill was completed, he was so surprised that he was speechless. He could refine nine top-grade foundation-building pills in one furnace. This kid was too monstrous.

Zhao Shanhe put away the pills and asked, "Senior, would you like to review them?"

"No need, I believe it."

"Brother, take this." Zhao Shanhe threw the pill bottle over. Zhao Hao hurriedly caught it and said, "Third brother, this is worth millions of dollars, and you just throw it over like that. What if it gets spilled?"

"Brother, I think I gave too much."

"Not much at all." Zhao Hao hurriedly packed up the bottle of pills, as if he was afraid that Zhao Shanhe would snatch it away.
