Beauty helps me achieve immortality

Chapter 182 Shallow Water

Suddenly the sun and the moon stop shining, and spring and autumn replace each other.

In the blink of an eye, two months have passed.

The wind is getting colder, the grass is turning yellow, the morning dew is beginning to appear, and the golden osmanthus is fragrant.

There was a constant stream of monks coming and going in front of the vermilion commercial building in Songshanfang.

Today is the day when the Blood Robe Building opens its auction room.

Under the mirror-smooth turquoise booth, the originally empty and spacious venue is now full of people.

Even the small compartments on the second floor were filled with guests from the Blood Robe Tower.

Most of them are cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining... There are also a few people in the Foundation Establishment stage or low-level independent cultivators, most of whom come here to join in the fun.

There is no other reason.

As early as a month ago, two high-quality foundation-building pills appeared in the auction house of Xueyi Tower.

Many casual cultivators have only heard of this high-grade foundation-building pill, but have never seen it... and have no idea of ​​its specific effects.

I only know that ordinary foundation-building pills are rare treasures. Not only do they cost three thousand spirit stones, but you also have to wait in various commercial buildings... to buy them.

If a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining takes one, he will have the opportunity to directly condense his Dao foundation and advance to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Even if the foundation building fails, one can still get a glimpse of the prototype of the Tao foundation, thus making the probability of breaking through the foundation building higher.

Last month, those two high-quality pills didn't sell for a very high price, just four thousand spirit stones...

This is actually a lucky find.

After all, refining a Foundation Establishment Pill requires 1,500 spirit stones, and refining this type of pill is extremely troublesome, and the success rate is pitifully low...

"That kid from the Sun family has already reached the foundation-building stage... I'm afraid he can even hold meetings with the head of the family!"

"Humph!"

"That senior brother from the Changsheng Sword Sect has now returned to the sect. I heard that after he was promoted to the Foundation Establishment stage, the elders summoned him... and arranged a marriage for him."

"Silence!"

"I heard that Senior Zeng will come in person today..."

Before the hour of noon, the noisy discussions in the venue were already difficult to suppress.

His words were full of envy and jealousy towards the two cultivators who had purchased high-quality Foundation Establishment Pills.

……

But in fact, there are not many people who can possess such wealth in the late stage of Qi Refining. Everyone came here to broaden their horizons and take a look at the outstanding grace of that charming and beautiful woman.

According to rumors, the owner of the Blood Clothes Building is a plump widow who is also extremely charming.

If she was just an ordinary beautiful woman, it would be fine, but this Senior Zeng... is a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, and is also the owner of a trading house!

“If I could have a kiss with her, not to mention the pleasure I would feel in exploring the path of foundation building, I wouldn’t have to worry about resources for future cultivation.”

"Oh, fellow Daoist, don't think too much."

A Foundation Establishment cultivator murmured softly, "As far as I know, that shopkeeper Zeng is the mistress kept by the Sun family's patriarch in the workshop."

"Shouldn't I?"

"Isn't there a rumor that...she was imprisoned and humiliated by the Zheng family for many years?"

"Nonsense! This Daoist Fellow Zeng is the Daoist companion of the Jindan master from the Songshan Mine!"

……

On the third level of the Blood Robe, Wang Shuyue stood in front of the window, listening curiously to the discussions of the monks.

The shopkeeper Zeng, as everyone was talking about, was now sitting comfortably on the soft couch behind her.

Zeng Nianke was still wearing a green gauze today, which fully outlined her plump and graceful curves, and even a hint of her snow-white skin could be vaguely seen.

She stared at the man in front of her with her seductive eyes, her chest rising and falling slightly with every movement.

Zhao Qing gathered his spiritual sense and slowly put down the jade slip in his hand.

He whispered, "It will be arranged as you wish, but Zhao's name must be concealed."

Hearing this, Zeng Nianke's eyes flickered, and she nodded her head as she responded obediently, "Nianke understands. I won't disturb Zhao Zhushou's life."

"In this way... the business building can add one more auction every month. Nian Ke will host it first."

Soon, the shopkeeper Zeng left the third floor, and the place fell into silence for a while.

Wang Shuyue walked briskly and threw herself into her husband's arms, picking up the jade slip and examining it.

It describes some... ideas that can increase the profits of the Blood Robe Building.

She said crisply, "My husband, have you noticed the discussions in the room?"

Zhao Qing smiled and nodded, straightened the delicate body in his arms, and then handed another jade slip related to the auction item to his wife.

……

Not long after, the discussions in the auction hall gradually subsided.

A graceful figure shrouded in green gauze slowly walked behind the booth.

The beautiful woman had her hair tied up high in her bun, and above her enchanting face, a pair of watery eyes seemed to be able to burn through people's hearts.

She smiled sweetly as she bent forward, "Today is indeed a very lively day. I would like to thank you all for your support."

The light and ethereal voice spread in all directions. Zeng Nianke paused for a moment before continuing.

"A few days ago, two high-quality foundation-building pills appeared in the Blood Robe Building... causing a bit of a stir. I imagine you all gathered here this morning to witness the effectiveness of these miraculous pills."

As soon as he finished speaking, the place gradually became noisy again.

"Many of you here have never been to Northern Desert and are unfamiliar with this high-quality foundation-building pill. Nian Ke can explain it to you today."

"Before Qingquan County was incorporated into Hanbing Valley, there was a fellow Daoist named Dan Gui who had established his foundation and enjoyed a transcendent status throughout the entire Northern Desert."

"His surname is Li. He has an extremely high talent for alchemy. Not only can he deduce elixir recipes based on actual needs, but the elixirs he refines often have elixir patterns..."

"Among them is the Foundation Establishment Pill!"

"According to several fellow Daoists from Beimo, if this foundation-building pill could produce danwen, its effectiveness would be even more powerful!"

"Taking a high-quality foundation-building pill will give you at least a 50% chance of advancing to the foundation-building stage. Even if you fail... it won't harm you in the slightest. Instead, it will pave a more solid path for future cultivation."

50% chance of direct promotion!

It won't hurt yourself at all!

In an instant, an uproar broke out in the field...

If it is really as Shopkeeper Zeng said, then the two of them spent 4,000 spirit stones to buy it...it is too much of a bargain!

"Perhaps that's true. The Sun family's new Foundation Establishment... has only been at the ninth level of Qi Training for two years."

Someone murmured softly, making everyone's gazes even more heated.

Zeng Nianke listened to the noise in the room with a smile on his face. After a long while, he continued, "This high-quality foundation-building pill is a treasure that cannot be bought even with 6,000 spirit stones in the Northern Desert!"

"Now...that Li Dan ghost has already left Beimo and his whereabouts are unknown."

She covered her mouth and chuckled, the implication of her words was very obvious.

He guided everyone to guess here and also took the opportunity to take advantage of Li Dangui's reputation.

Zhao Qing nodded in agreement with these words...

"Okay, okay, the girls in the building have prepared some spiritual tea for everyone and will deliver it to you shortly."

"Everyone, please take a look at this tide-observing stone in Nian Ke's hand... It was taken from the Cangyan Sea outside Yongning Prefecture. It can block divine sense from observing, while at the same time nourishing one's own spiritual power..."

"This is the first lot of today's auction."

"The base price is eight hundred, and each bid increase must not be less than fifty spirit stones."

Zeng Nianke swayed her graceful waist and paced gently on the exhibition stand.

The cherry lips sometimes parted slightly...

"If no fellow Taoist is interested, Nian Ke will stay here."

……

Gradually, the sounds of applause were heard one after another in the venue.

"Eight hundred and fifty!"

"A thousand spirit stones!"

"One thousand and two!"

Zeng Nianke's watery eyes were filled with smiles, and when her green veil was slightly gathered, a hint of her shoulders was inadvertently revealed.

She whispered, "By the way, there's a Foundation Establishment Pill for sale today..."

"This fellow Daoist is offering 1,200 yuan for half a cubic meter of Tide-Watching Stone! Is there a higher price?"

"That top-grade foundation-building pill isn't the last one, it'll be here soon... very soon..."

Zeng Nianke spoke softly.

It drew everyone's attention to her pretty face.

A pair of eyes filled with suspicion and burning heat, as if they wanted to devour this woman completely and could not move away even a little bit.

Top-grade...foundation-building pill!

A good-quality foundation-building pill already possesses such terrifying effects. If it were a top-grade...

Is it true!?

Or is it just a gimmick?

On the exhibition stand, jade legs crossed beneath the emerald gauze, and a beautiful woman trudged along with her lazy steps, saying in a sweet voice, "Congratulations to the fifty-three fellow Taoists for winning half a square meter of Tide-Watching Stone, worth twelve hundred spirit stones!"

She looked back at the monks' burning gazes with her beautiful eyes and chuckled softly, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have worn this gauze dress. It's really spoiled everyone's fun."

"The second lot, sandalwood sawdust, two taels."

"The starting price is one thousand spirit stones. Fellow Daoists who are specialized in studying talismans should not miss this opportunity."

The woman's slender hands gently gathered her gauze dress, and the corners of her delicate lips curled slightly: "I don't know if he is looking at Nian Ke's body or these sandalwood sawdust..."

……

Three layers of blood-stained clothes.

The pretty woman leaned in her husband's arms and laughed softly, "This fellow Zeng Daoist is quite impressive. There are more than 170 items up for auction today..."

Zhao Qing nodded in agreement and gently stroked Shuyue's tight waist.

Zeng Nianke's actions will bring more profit to the commercial building. She will earn more and she will earn more too.

Moreover, this beautiful woman would send some rare treasures home from time to time...

After her hype, I am afraid it will attract more cultivators in the late stage of Qi training.

Zhao Qing only thought about it for a moment and then put these things behind him.

From now on, just let Zeng Nianke go home to get the elixir, and don't worry about anything else...

As for spirit stones...you should earn as much as you can.

In this way, the income from selling pills in the future might even surpass Xueyi's profit.

The two of them did not stay here for too long. After watching for half an hour, they left the Blood Robe Building.

The main reason I went out today was to take Shuyue out for a walk.

As for the settlement of the auctioned spirit stones... Zeng Nian Ke will naturally deliver them to your home tomorrow, and maybe bring some other small items too.

·

The next morning, just as the sky was getting light.

The aunt gently woke up Zhao Qing.

"A woman has come looking for me. She should be at the Foundation Establishment stage, not Zeng Nianke."

Zhao Qing's sleepy eyes froze, and a look of confusion appeared on his face.

Another woman came?

He extended his spiritual sense to examine the scene on the official road...

In the dim morning light, a woman walked slowly through the mist.

The woman was wearing a goose yellow gauze dress, and her long black hair was slightly wet.

Although her figure was not as voluptuous as Zeng Nianke's, her temperament in both movement and stillness, and her eyebrows and nose on her pretty face, were far superior to the former.

In the Chu State Flower Rankings from a few years ago...

The beauty hides the past and present, and the lotus is ashamed of the jade face.

This is the person being reviewed.

At this moment, seeing this familiar face appear in the mist, Zhao Qing seemed to have smelled the clear and sweet fragrance on her body.
