Immortality and Cultivation: This old man seeks enlightenment through mere survival.

In the blink of an eye, the competition for the sixth drop of Yaoquan Dew has reached a critical juncture...

"Three thousand eight hundred spirit stones!" Lin Feng, in his transformed form, quoted the price.

The surrounding bidding briefly ceased.

Just when Lin Feng thought he could successfully win the bid, a bid came from the private room above.

"Three thousand nine."

The voice was powerful and filled with pressure; it belonged to a Foundation Establishment cultivator!

Lin Feng's expression changed, and a hint of anxiety appeared in his eyes.

Why are Foundation Establishment cultivators causing trouble at this time?

Lu Zaian, who was in a private room, also suddenly turned cold and glanced at another private room.

"Chen Kui, that old bastard is here too..."

Lu Zaian recognized the voice of the Foundation Establishment cultivator as Chen Kui, the leader of the Three Cauldrons Pavilion.

After Chen Kui joined the Demon Spear Cult, the Three Cauldrons Tower business did quite well in Huangze City.

As for the enemy he had written down in his little notebook, Lu Zaian's eyes darkened, and he had an idea.

"Hmph... As the saying goes, a gentleman takes revenge even after ten years."

"I've been so focused on cultivation these past ten years that I've forgotten to deal with you..."

On the other side, in the private room where Chen Kui was, his two henchmen Zhao Feng and Gongyang Wen were also there.

"Hehe, big brother, you have some good skills. The remaining few drops of Yaoquan Dew are being fought over by Qi Refining cultivators."

With their elder brother taking action, how dare they utter a sound!

Zhao Feng's triangular eyes were full of cunning and flattery.

Gongyang Wen also smiled sinisterly:

"Hmph, we're now sitting in the Foundation Establishment private room thanks to our elder brother."

"What can those peasants have to fight us for?"

He looked at Yao Quanlu with burning eyes and quietly swallowed.

Ten years ago, the three brothers won a Foundation Establishment artifact at the Hundred Flowers Auction.

This led to the success of the eldest brother, Chen Kui.

Gongyang Wen, after waiting for ten years, finally got a new opportunity.

This time, Chen Kui promised to bid on a Foundation Establishment artifact for him as well.

By then, Gongyang Wen will also have a chance to reach the Foundation Establishment stage!

Just then, a soft laugh interrupted Gongyang Wen's reverie.

"Tsk tsk... Why is a Foundation Establishment cultivator getting involved with these juniors? Aren't you ashamed?"

"Who?!"

Chen Kui's expression changed slightly as he looked toward the source of the laughter.

It was the private room where Lu Zaian was.

Chen Kui frowned slightly and said in a deep voice:

"My friend, I was merely competing fairly. Why do you say that?"

Immediately, everyone in the auction house turned their attention to the private room where Lu Zaian was located.

It seems unclear what this mysterious Foundation Establishment cultivator is up to.

Laughter then erupted from inside Lu Zai'an's private room:

"Tsk tsk, what a fine example of fair competition."

You were given the opportunity to compete, but you didn't bid. Instead, you came here to take advantage of the younger generation?

At least leave some way out for the Qi Refining cultivators below.

Lu Zaian's words immediately resonated with the Qi Refining cultivators below, who began to whisper among themselves.

"That's right, the first four drops were all being bid on by Foundation Establishment cultivators... Why didn't this advanced cultivator participate?"

"Could it be that there aren't enough spirit stones?"

“It’s hard to say…”

Not all of these Qi Refining cultivators came for the Foundation Establishment spiritual items.

But at this moment, they are all speaking out for their own social class.

The first four drops of Yaoquan Dew were all contested by Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The average price has been raised to around 4,800...

And just when they finally had a chance to compete, a Foundation Establishment cultivator came to snatch it away?

How does this work?

In fact, auctions like this, where so many Foundation Establishment spiritual items are released at once, are quite unusual.

They usually leave two or three portions for the Qi Refining cultivators below to fight over.

Of course, it's not that Foundation Establishment cultivators will be morally coerced.

It was merely a way to maintain the "myth of chance" in the desolate city.

It's just to make it easier for Huangze City and the various forces to continue exploiting its inhabitants...

After all, it's the most attractive auction.

If Qi Refining cultivators can't gain any real benefits, then who will come to Desolate Swamp City in the future?

Seeing that he had been eliminated, Chen Kui's face darkened, and he looked somewhat embarrassed.

At this point, Gongyang Wen, who was standing to the side, could no longer sit still.

"Big brother...you promised..."

"Please calm down..."

Chen Kui raised his hand to interrupt Gongyang Wen.

He had already promised his brother, and he couldn't afford to lose face now.

I should have known better than to show off and not be greedy for those little advantages...

This should only happen once, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

Chen Kui propped his face up with his hand, his Foundation Establishment aura spreading out, subtly pressing down on the private room where Lu Zaian was.

"How should I address you, fellow Daoist? Have I done anything to offend you? Why are you targeting me like this?"

"Haha, E'lai, you can also call me the Scholar in Green Robes."

You didn't provoke me, I just don't like the look of you.

As a scholar who entered the Daoist path, what I despise most is the bullying of the weak by the strong!

Lu Zaian took the initiative to open the window of the private room, revealing his handsome and refined figure.

He had a scholarly air about him, arms crossed, looking relaxed and composed.

Luo Quan, who was hosting on stage, frowned imperceptibly.

What's the deal with Chen Kui?

Don't you know the rules?

The other Foundation Establishment cultivator was also a pedantic scholar.

What a load of nonsense!

Luo Quan was about to say something to smooth things over.

But then they heard Chen Kui shout in a somewhat angry voice.

"Auctions are all about the highest bidder winning. I bid fairly, what's wrong with that?"

If you call it bullying the weak, then it's my own strength that's to blame!

Chen Kui had at least been a Foundation Establishment cultivator for ten years, and with the Demon Spear Sect behind him, he wasn't someone anyone could just trample on.

A great commotion erupted in the auction hall.

"This is going to be interesting... Is there going to be this kind of show at every auction?"

"What's going on? Hurry up and start bidding!"

"Stop with the nonsense, let's start bidding!"

"..."

Lu Zaian put away his smile, and his Foundation Establishment aura spread out, along with a suffocating killing intent that was as still as water!

"Haha, let's let strength speak for itself?"

"Then I'll join in too! Four thousand spirit stones!"

Lu Zaian knew, of course, that Chen Kui would not be morally coerced.

But he stirred things up just to annoy Chen Kui.

At the same time, he created the illusion of being enemies with Chen Kui so that he could use this identity to act later...

Lu Zaian cannot use any means related to the original owner.

Currently, only "Blood Killing Stream" can utilize some of its techniques.

At present, the deterrent effect of "Blood Killing Flow" is even greater than its actual effect.

As expected, as Lu Zaian unleashed the killing intent he had condensed into drops, everyone present changed color slightly.

"Such intense killing intent!"

"Hiss... How many people have been killed?!"

"You're telling me this is a scholar who entered the Dao? The killing intent emanating from him is so terrifying! He's more like a butcher!"

In fact, Lu Zai'an has killed very few people throughout his cultivation.

It's just that ordinary cultivators don't have the method to collect killing intent...

"you!……"

Chen Kui's face also turned ashen; he hadn't expected the Foundation Establishment cultivator who had mocked him to be such a tough opponent.

He's now in a difficult position, and everyone is urging him on...

Fortunately, at that moment, an arrogant voice came from the Demon Spear Cult's private room above, saving him from the predicament.

"Five thousand! You're quite an interesting scholar..."
