Mysterious mirror hanging high

"[Elegant and Proud], Grade: Fine (Blue)."

"Specific function: Makes women more likely to be attracted to the owner of this fate."

"Origin of Fate: A total of ten male cultivators with the [Turning Country Beauty] fate were immortal in gold, and achieved the status of Golden Immortal. Their destinies intersected, and thus the [Jade Tree in the Wind] appeared in the world."

"I was wondering who this person was, but it turned out to be the beggar version of Li Jiangmei..."

Jing Yu curled her lips. This exquisite destiny looked like a lower level destiny of [Alluring Beauty], but in reality the effect was not even a little bit worse - not to mention how big the difference was in the magnitude of favorability, the fact that it restricted the gender of the target was not necessarily a completely positive effect.

It is true that monks with this fate can easily win the favor of female monks, but it is also easy for male monks to have a bad impression of them due to jealousy and other reasons. It should be noted that [Stunning Beauty] can attract both men and women!

"This Yuwen Xiaojin, a direct descendant of the Yuwen family, has already reached the middle stage of foundation building at such a young age. Instead of staying in a large immortal city like Xiaoyao Immortal City to cultivate properly, he was exiled to a remote place like Wushan Market to serve as a shop owner. I'm afraid he must have offended someone in the immortal city and is here to avoid the spotlight..."

While Jing Yu was thinking, Yuwen Xiaojin had already stood on the auction platform. The current Xian Expo can be said to be the greatest political achievement of Wushanfang City in the past ten years. Yuwen Xiaojin also attaches great importance to it. Today, he specially chose a slim-fitting robe with a black background and gold patterns. There is a gold-plated pattern of "Dragon Swimming in the Clouds" on the chest, which is the symbol of the Xiaoyao League. His thick black long hair is simply tied into a ponytail with a silk ribbon, and the loose hair on his forehead is scattered casually, adding a bit of unrestrained and unruly flavor.

Jing Yu carefully looked at the Wushanfangzhu, whom he had never met before, and found that Yuwen Xiaojin's two extremely thick sword-like eyebrows slanted into his temples, which gave his originally handsome and feminine face a hint of firmness and masculinity.

"What a good-looking guy!"

Jing Yu secretly sighed that Yu Wen Xiaojin was even a little bit better than himself in terms of appearance!

Then he also felt strange. Whether it was Yuwen Xiaojin or Li Jiangmei, they were both first-class looks, but they had such a fate. He wondered if it was because they were born good-looking when they were in the soul state, so they had this fate; or was it because of the effect of the fate that made them gradually become good-looking?

The cause and effect behind this is quite thought-provoking.

"cough……"

"Fellow Daoists, thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend the [Cultivation World Rare Fair] hosted by Wushan Market. I am Yuwen Xiaojin, the owner of Wushan Market. I would like to say a few words..."

Yuwen Xiaojin put his hands behind his back and spoke incessantly for a quarter of an hour about his opening speech, which made Jing Yu yawn.

"Why do I have to suffer this kind of punishment after reincarnation..."

"...Now, please invite the representative of Xiaoyao Immortal City, the eldest disciple of Master Yuehua, [Fairy Yueqiu] Hu Yueqiu, to speak for us..."

Jing Yu straightened his body and said in disbelief, "Come again? Won't these Foundation Establishment cultivators go up to each of us and tell us all about it?"

"Don't worry, uncle. The auction should start as soon as Fairy Yueqiu finishes her explanation."

Mu Shan whispered, "The original plan in the market was to transfer forty-eight Qigong musicians and seventy-two Qigong dancers from Xiaoyao Immortal City's Lingyin Pavilion to stage a large-scale song and dance performance as the opening, but the owner of the Yuwen Market rejected it due to insufficient funds. Otherwise, how could this be possible?"

Perhaps sensing the impatience of the monks in the audience, Hu Yueqiu simply spoke a few words and then announced the official start of the auction.

The auction was presided over by Chi Lian, the deputy master of Wushan Market. As the only female cultivator who had established her foundation among the masters of Wushan Market, it was reasonable for her to preside over this matter.

"The first lot is a pair of [Stone Horned Demon Bull's Stone Horns], with a starting price of fifty spirit stones."

"Fifty-one spirit stones!"

"Fifty-three spirit stones!"

……

"Sixty-four spirit stones!"

"Daoist No. 1573 offered 64 spirit stones. Is there a higher price?"

"make a deal!"

Seeing the first lot of the auction being sold for 64 spirit stones, Jing Yu couldn't help but be astonished:

"Rumor has it that there are over 500 items being auctioned at the main venue. The market takes a 5% cut of each item's sales. This is a very considerable amount of spirit stones!"

"This Yuwen Xiaojin is really something!"

At this moment, Jing Yu lowered his gaze and found that Yuwen Xiaojin was chatting and laughing with several sects' true legends, and was obviously in a good mood.

The items that could be auctioned at the main venue were, at worst, items that had just reached the threshold of foundation-building spiritual objects. Most of those who had the financial resources to compete for them were foundation-building cultivators or cultivators in the late stage of Qi training. After Jing Yu bought the items from the branch venue, he still had more than 160 spirit stones left, but he didn't plan to bid anymore. After all, the auction at the main venue was open bidding, which meant that he couldn't be anonymous, so he didn't want to show off.

……

"The twentieth lot, a [Genuine Foundation Establishment Pill], with a reserve price of four hundred spirit stones."

The appearance of the Foundation Establishment Pill pushed the atmosphere of the auction to a small climax. Many white-haired ninth-level Qi training cultivators stared at the pill on the stage with two golden Taoist patterns.

"Uncle, our market has invested heavily this time. We bought ten [Genuine Foundation Establishment Pills] and three [Super-Grade Foundation Establishment Pills] from Xiaoyao Immortal City in one go. We'll auction them off in batches at different times to attract attention and heat up the market!"

Mu Shan whispered, "Look at those old cultivators at the ninth level of Qi training. Their eyes are red with envy... Only cultivators like me who work within the system can exchange their great merits within the alliance for Foundation Establishment Pills at a low price, so we don't have to compete with independent cultivators for them."

Although it was only the first Foundation Establishment Pill and there would be opportunities later, those old cultivators were obviously afraid that the competition would become more intense. Instead, they wanted to get one as soon as possible to feel at ease, so they raised the price of this first Foundation Establishment Pill.

Finally, an old cultivator bought this genuine foundation-building pill at the high price of "six hundred and twenty-one spirit stones".

The old monk who got the elixir left Wushan Temple directly and was led to an unknown place by a waiter in the early stage of Qi training.

"Where are you going?" Jing Yu asked curiously.

"I should go to the retreat area provided free of charge by the market to try to build my foundation."

Mu Shan explained, "Hundreds of years ago, there were many cases of cultivators who had just won a Foundation Establishment Pill at an auction only to be ambushed and killed outside the market. To prevent this from happening, almost every market town now has a retreat area equipped with defensive formations for cultivators who have bought the pills to achieve a breakthrough without any worries. Otherwise, who would dare to come to the auction to buy these rare pills?"

"The 21st lot, the ancient treasure [Hundred-Year Golden Thunder Bamboo], the reserve price is eighty spirit stones."

"Hmm? Golden Thunder Bamboo?" Jing Yu had come across this bamboo in the [Yunchuan Domain Rare Objects Atlas]. It was a famous ancient spiritual object. How could it appear at this low-end auction for the capped foundation-building stage?

"Hmm, that's what I was thinking... It's just a hundred-year-old golden thunder bamboo, and it looks like it's almost dead. And there's only this small section. I'm afraid the best it can be used to make a set of bamboo needle-type magic tools. Using a wood-type spiritual object to make a needle-type magic tool is a bit weird, useless, really useless..."

Jing Yu's stretched body slowly sank back down, returning to his lazy state.

Meanwhile, in the outer seats, where many low-level Qi-cultivating cultivators gathered, a dark-faced man stared intently at the small, nearly dying piece of Golden Thunder Bamboo on the auction table, his eyes gleaming as he began to form a plan...
