Practice begins with immortality

"Next is the third item, the foundation-building technique, the Art of Withering and Flourishing."

The auctioneer's voice sounded, and the audience suddenly fell silent. Everyone knew that the next competition would be between the foundation-building cultivators.

"This technique is of the wood element and can be practiced until the foundation is established. It also has a matching secret method: the withering and flourishing spirit refining method. Once it is practiced, the quality and quantity of magic power will be 30% stronger than that of cultivators at the same level." The auctioneer introduced.

"The starting price is three thousand spirit stones." The auctioneer announced the price.

"I offer three thousand two hundred spirit stones." Someone immediately made a bid.

"Three thousand five hundred spirit stones." Another person was not to be outdone.

"Four thousand spirit stones."

"Five thousand spirit stones!" At this time, Wang Bai directly raised the price by one thousand, indicating that he was determined to obtain this technique.

Finally, this book of Withering and Flourishing Art fell into Wang Bai's hands at the price of five thousand spirit stones.

After receiving the payment, Wang Bai immediately used his spiritual sense to penetrate the jade slip containing the Withering and Flourishing Art and began to study it. Besides the secret technique, the Withering and Flourishing Art also included three other spells: the Withering Tree Breathing Technique, the Mayfly Escape Technique, and the Withering and Flourishing Mysterious Spirit Technique. These spells were all quite unique and practical, making Wang Bai even more excited about the Withering and Flourishing Art.

After he finished reading all of this, he finally came to the most important part - the withering and flourishing soul refining.

"So that's how it is. This secret method requires the heart of a tree in the foundation-building stage to assist in cultivation. If you don't have it, you can only use time to endure it. This is suitable for me." Wang Bai murmured to himself.

However, he also knew that it was rare for plants to become demons, and even fewer to reach the Foundation Establishment stage. Furthermore, the Purple Jade Sect had previously eliminated Foundation Establishment demonic beasts, and there were no heartwoods left for Foundation Establishment tree demons. However, Wang Bai had an infinite lifespan, so even without heartwoods, he could achieve enlightenment through sheer hard work.

After that, Wang Bai bought two top-grade spiritual weapons, one was a green jade flying sword and the other was a Xuanling robe, spending a total of 6,000 spirit stones.

"So many spirit stones are used up in an instant, but it's worth it. Now I can upgrade my equipment." Wang Bai didn't care about the consumption of spirit stones. For him, as long as he was alive, he would have an endless supply of spirit stones.

Wang Bai didn't know how to buy the next item, nor could he afford it, but he decided to stay and broaden his horizons. The next item to be auctioned was the incomplete second-level Talisman Dao inheritance that Wu Guanshi had mentioned. It was bought by someone for 2000 spirit stones. That person was Wu Guanshi.

Manager Wu looked at the jade tube in his hand, a flicker of excitement and anticipation in his eyes. Although the second-level talisman inheritance was incomplete, it still held great appeal to him. "Although it's incomplete, if we can find a sufficiently skilled talisman master, perhaps we can complete it."

"The final item is a second-level alchemy inheritance, with a starting price of 9000 spirit stones!" the host announced excitedly.

Before he finished speaking, the place suddenly became lively, people were talking to each other, their faces showing excitement.

"The inheritance of second-level techniques! And it's the inheritance of alchemy. This is an extremely precious treasure!" someone exclaimed.

"It's really unexpected that the Zi Yu Sect is willing to put such a treasure up for auction!" another person echoed.

"Notify the family immediately and get this inheritance at all costs!" Representatives of some forces hurriedly gave orders.

"I'm afraid this auction will trigger a fierce competition!" someone said worriedly.

However, at this moment, Wang Bai frowned, feeling that something big might happen tonight, so he decided to leave the auction first and make plans later.

At the same time, there were other people who had the same idea and they left the venue one after another to avoid being involved in possible disputes.

The departure of Wang Bo and the others did not affect the auction, but instead made the atmosphere even more tense. Everyone present knew that the upcoming competition would be extremely fierce, and there might even be bloodshed.

the next day.

"That second-level alchemy inheritance actually caused such a big commotion!" Wang Bai got the news that the second-level alchemy inheritance that appeared in the auction was finally bought by the Ziyun Zhang family. On the way back, it was robbed and killed by cultivators, and even a fight broke out with a foundation-building cultivator.

In the end, the matter ended with the death of the Zhang family's foundation-building cultivator and the Li and Wang family's foundation-building cultivators who had been robbed.

The second-level alchemy inheritance fell into the hands of the Shangguan family. After obtaining the inheritance, the foundation-building cultivator of the Shangguan family went into hiding, and all the family members hid deep in the Luoxia Mountains, and could not be found no matter how hard they tried.

"I didn't expect that three immortal cultivation families would be directly expelled from the list just last night."

Among the immortal cultivation families in Luoxia Mountains, many have only one foundation-building cultivator, and very few have two foundation-building cultivators.

The families mentioned earlier, such as the Zhang family and the Li family, only have one foundation-building cultivator.

Now that the Foundation Establishment masters who were in charge were dead, it wouldn't be long before these three families would be liquidated by the other Immortal Cultivation families. After all, in the world of Immortal Cultivation, the strong prey on the weak, and this kind of thing was perfectly normal.

However, these matters had nothing to do with Wang Bai. His main concern now was cultivating the Art of Withering and Flourishing. After all, in this world of immortal cultivation, strength was the most important thing.

After three days of hard work, Wang Bai finally succeeded in mastering the technique. Although he had only mastered it in its infancy, he had already felt the power of the Withering and Flourishing Technique.

"Next, I'll practice the Mayfly Escape. Improving my ability to survive is paramount." Wang Bai knew full well that in the world of immortal cultivation, danger could strike at any moment. Therefore, in addition to improving my strength, I also needed to master some escape techniques. The Mayfly Escape was a very practical escape technique. Thus, Wang Bai began to devote himself wholeheartedly to the practice of the Mayfly Escape...
