Practice begins with immortality

half year later.

"Manager Wu, these are two hundred flying sword talismans and fifty lightning-inducing talismans. Please count them." Wang Bai smiled and handed the storage bag in his hand to the old man in front of him.

After taking the storage bag, Manager Wu shook his head slightly and said, "No need for that. Master Huang's ability to make talismans is unquestionable, and he will naturally not make mistakes. And judging from the quality of these talismans, Master Huang seems to have made some progress in the art of talismans! It is amazing that he can make so many lightning-inducing talismans at a time. If he can obtain the second-level talisman inheritance, I believe he will become a second-level talisman master soon." He looked at Wang Bai with admiration.

Wang Bo replied modestly, "Manager Wu, you're too kind. I just make a living from this skill."

Manager Wu smiled and nodded, then pulled out a small cloth bag from his bosom and handed it to Wang Bai, explaining, "There are a total of 1,600 spirit stones in here, which are the payment for this transaction. I noticed that Fellow Daoist Huang has cultivated to the perfect state of Qi Refining. I believe you are preparing to participate in the upcoming auction and purchase the Foundation Establishment Pill, right?"

"That's right." Wang Bai covered up. He had already broken through to the foundation building stage and no longer needed the foundation building pill. He was attending the auction to buy spiritual weapons for himself.

"In fact, with Fellow Daoist Huang's ability in the art of talismans, there's absolutely no need to spend so much money to fight for the Foundation Establishment Pill. If Fellow Daoist Huang is willing, I'm willing to recommend you to the Purple Jade Sect. With Fellow Daoist Huang's strength and talent, you should be able to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill in five years at most."

"Thank you for your kindness, Manager Wu, but I really don't want to be controlled by others, so I still want to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill through my own efforts."

"If that's the case, then forget it. However, I will also participate in this auction. I heard that there is an incomplete second-level Talisman Dao inheritance at this auction, which is very important to me. This old man intends to bid for this inheritance. If it goes well, I would like to invite Fellow Daoist Huang to come and give me some advice."

After a while, Wang Bai returned to his room.

"Including this payment, I now have a total of 5000 spirit stones. A top-grade spirit weapon costs just over spirit stones. A top-grade defensive spirit weapon is more expensive, around spirit stones. And a foundation-building technique costs around spirit stones. If nothing goes wrong, buying them shouldn't be difficult," Wang Bai pondered. After six months of hard work, combined with his previous inventory, and selling it in batches to different people, he finally gathered the required spirit stones.

"The next step is to wait for the auction tomorrow night."

The next evening, the auction was held in the inner city of Akadamabo. Following the host's introduction, the first item, the Foundation Establishment Pill, appeared. The venue fell silent, everyone nervously staring at the azure pill on the stage.

"The starting price is 3000 spirit stones!" As soon as the host finished speaking, bids came one after another from the audience.

"4000 spirit stones!"

"5000 spirit stones!"

"5500 spirit stones!"

……

In the end, the Foundation Establishment Pill was sold for a staggering 7000 Spirit Stones. Wang Bai sat in a corner, secretly surprised. Although he had anticipated the price of the Foundation Establishment Pill, he was still shocked by the figure.

"It's really shocking..." he muttered to himself.

Of course, the person who bid for this Foundation Establishment Pill wouldn't be a casual cultivator. A Bai family, a cultivator, successfully won this treasure, having expended considerable resources and time to amass these spirit stones. For ordinary casual cultivators, possessing such a vast fortune is practically impossible. After all, it would require nearly a thousand people to accumulate over dozens, even hundreds of years. Of course, this doesn't apply to people like Wang Bai.
