My Optimized Immortal Life

Chen Qing was secretly shocked, but he remained calm on the surface. He just looked at Xiao Long beside him and asked.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, are the only cultivators invited to this auction independent cultivators?"

Xiao Long frowned when he heard this.

"Why do you say that, Fellow Daoist Jiang? Although this auction is hosted by Liu Shengzi, there are many foundation-building cultivators participating. Even cultivators from sects will participate in exchange for some resources that are not available within the sect."

Hearing this, Chen Qing nodded and did not ask any more questions about this matter. While he was talking to Xiao Long about the specific items to be auctioned at this auction, he was secretly looking at Nie Xunxian.

This person is the confidant of Linghua Zhenren. Since he appears here, could it be that Linghua Zhenren has successfully opened up a safe zone in the Great Wilderness Swamp that can accommodate the survival of the Three Island Alliance?

Chen Qing was guessing in his heart.

Although he has become a Jindan Zhenren, there is still a big gap between him and veteran Jindan Zhenren like Linghua Zhenren. Moreover, when he moved into Qiuye Island, Nie Xunxian was only at the foundation-building stage. Now he has achieved Jindan, which must be due to the cultivation of Linghua Zhenren. It seems that Linghua Zhenren's background is far beyond expectations.

Although his mind was full of thoughts, Chen Qing had already calmed down.

Zhenren Linghua settled in the Great Wilderness and sent Nie Xunxian into the State of Song, most likely to inquire about the news of the Four Sects and the Demonic Path. This had nothing to do with him, so he only needed to observe in secret.

As time went by, the number of cultivators staying on Huayue Peak stopped increasing. Seeing that almost all those who were supposed to arrive had arrived, Liu Shengzi did not wait any longer. He walked to the front of the stage, looked at the cultivators who had arrived, and spoke loudly.

"Thank you all for giving me, Liu, a favor. Although today's auction was held by me, everyone present can exchange their shares after the auction. I can serve as a witness..."

After briefly introducing the rules of the auction, Yagyuko announced the official start of the auction.

As foundation-building cultivators, Chen Qing and Xiao Long sat directly on the broken platform of Huayue Peak. This was a seat for foundation-building cultivators only, while those Qi-refining cultivators floated in the air on flying instruments or stopped on the stone pillars.

Yagyuko stood in the center and took out a ten-foot-long spear. The spear was pure white with a hint of gold on the tip. As Yagyuko injected his magic power into it, the spear began to glow, and the gold on the tip of the spear turned into an illusory airflow, wrapping around it.

"This is a second-tier, mid-grade spiritual weapon, the Flowing Silver Gold Spear. It's made entirely of snow silver, and the tip is made of a bit of refined gold, making it extremely sharp. If you inject mana into it, it can also activate the Gengjin Qi contained in the refined gold, greatly increasing its power, enough to break the defenses of a late-stage second-tier demon beast."

After introducing the spiritual weapon in his hand, Yagyuko looked around and saw that many foundation-building cultivators showed interest, which made him happy.

This gun was a spiritual weapon he obtained by chance in his early years. Although it was extremely powerful, it was not compatible with the martial arts he practiced, so he put it up for auction.

"The starting price is three thousand spirit stones, and each bid increase must not be less than one hundred spirit stones."

Then, Yagyuko told the price of the gun.

Three thousand spirit stones, as soon as this price was announced, some of the cultivators who were originally interested immediately backed off.

For a second-grade mid-quality spiritual weapon, this price is not expensive, but most of the people present are independent cultivators. Even if they are at the foundation-building stage, they will not have more than ten thousand spiritual stones on them. A spiritual weapon will consume one-third of their spiritual stones, which is not worth it.

Only a few monks gave up the competition. After Liu Shengzi stated the price, monks immediately made bids.

"Three thousand five hundred spirit stones."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately turned their eyes to the cultivator who made the bid. Seeing that he had golden magic power, they looked away. For a cultivator, no matter whether it was a magic weapon or a spiritual weapon, it could only be used as intended if it was in harmony with his own magic power.

This silver-gold pointed spear is obviously a gold-type magic weapon, so this gold-type foundation-building cultivator raised the price by five hundred spirit stones as soon as he arrived.

Chen Qing stood in the corner, looking at the silver-gold spear in Liu Shengzi's hand.

With his eyesight and weapon-refining skills, he could naturally tell the quality of the spear.

The entire body of this spear is made of the second-level spiritual material snow silver, and a little refined gold is mixed into the tip of the spear. The refining technique is quite good, but the forbidden magic array engraved inside is a bit simple. It is only suitable for use by gold-type cultivators. If used by other cultivators, its power will be weakened by 10%, so it cannot be considered good.

After secretly judging the gun, Chen Qing did not think that Liu Shengzi had deliberately used it to trick people.

In fact, many weapon refiners have this shortcoming when refining spiritual weapons. They will engrave a forbidden magic array that matches the attributes of the spiritual material. This not only reduces the difficulty of refining, but also conforms to the attributes of the spiritual material and increases the power of the spiritual weapon.

This is the limitation of the second-level spiritual weapon. Since the spiritual materials used in magic weapons are too wide, there will be no such restrictions on the magic attributes. A magic weapon can be used by cultivators of any magic attributes.

There were quite a few monks practicing gold-based techniques on the scene, so this silver-gold spear was quite popular. In addition to the monk who made the first bid, seven or eight other monks followed suit. After a fierce competition, the silver-gold spear was finally sold for four thousand six hundred yuan.

The first item to be auctioned was a mid-grade second-level magic weapon. This was high-end enough for the Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators present, but in Chen Qing's eyes, it was just that.

The highest level of auction items at the Song State Auction is level three, but those are jointly organized by the major sects. At an auction like this one organized by a casual cultivator at the foundation-building stage, only level two items are circulated at most. Therefore, Chen Qing did not think about obtaining level three spiritual materials at this auction. If he wanted to get level three spiritual materials, he had to go to the auction held in Wanren City.

After the silver-gold spear was bought, Liu Shengzi subsequently took out several second-level items, which attracted bidding from the foundation-building monks present.

Even Xiao Long bought a second-level protective vestment. He looked at Chen Qing, who had never bid, with some confusion.

"Why don't you take some pictures of magic weapons or elixirs for cultivation?"

Chen Qing smiled and pointed to his pocket.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Fellow Daoist Xiao. I don't have many Spiritual Stones on me. I came to the auction this time because of the exchange process. I was prepared to exchange some Spiritual Materials for what I needed. Therefore, I have to miss out on these auction items."

Xiao Long was stunned when he heard this, then he smiled bitterly.

"I didn't expect that fellow Daoist, as a worshipper of the Sanhe Gang, would also worry about spirit stones."

Chen Qing shook his head.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao is in charge of the Poison Dragon Gang, so he naturally knows better than me how many spirit stones are needed to maintain a gang each year. Although I am a tribute, my daily practice alone has already used up most of the spirit stones on buying elixirs. How can I have spirit stones left to buy these auction items?"

Xiao Long wanted to ask another question, but Chen Qing suddenly started to bid.

"One thousand two hundred spirit stones."

He glanced sideways and saw Yagyuko take out three jade slips, put them in his hand and introduced them.

"These three jade slips each record a second-level technique, namely... However, because the seller requested it, they are being auctioned together. The total value of the three techniques is one thousand spirit stones. Which fellow Taoist would like to purchase them?"

Gongfa?

Xiao Long looked at the three jade slips in Liu Shengzi's hand, then turned back to look at Chen Qing, and suddenly felt that Jiang Yuhuo was a little interesting.
