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

Luo Quan's voice echoed throughout the venue.

Unsurprisingly, this sparked much discussion among the cultivators.

"Master Lu? Which Master Lu?"

Some newcomers are unaware of Lu Zaian's reputation.

"Hehe, have you ever bought pills from Youjian Dange?"

"I've been there. The quality of the pills there is quite good. I heard that you can occasionally find pills with pill patterns... Wait, you mean?"

"That's right, Master Lu is indeed the mastermind behind Youjian Dange."

The elixirs he concocts are renowned throughout the entire Wasteland City…

"I see. Master Lu didn't attend in person this time?"

I'd love to witness the brilliance of such a master of alchemy.

"What's so interesting about an old man? His appearance doesn't affect the quality of the pills..."

"It's a second-tier Youth Preservation Pill! I really want it!"

Brother~~ I bought this as a gift, brother, so you can choose any position you like tonight..."

"You little devil..."

The female cultivators, in particular, looked at the Youth Preservation Pill with longing in their eyes.

As a second-tier spiritual pill, the Youth-Preserving Pill can help cultivators maintain a youthful appearance.

They never grow old unless their time is coming to an end.

It's in a woman's nature to love beauty.

Some female cultivators even cultivate immortality in order to remain young and eternally youthful.

The scene immediately sparked fierce competition.

Even male monks would take photos and send them to female friends and family.

The scholar that Lu Zaian had disguised himself as secretly rejoiced to see his youth-preserving pills selling so well.

This feeling of making a fortune quietly is really not bad.

He also joined in the bidding midway, pushing the price of two of the items even higher.

Finally, the five youth-preserving pills were auctioned off for an average price of 5,500.

After deducting a 10% cut.

Lu Zaian will receive 24,750 spirit stones.

If it weren't for the fact that the main ingredient for refining the Youth Preservation Pill, "Jade Skin Divine Essence," is so hard to find.

Lu Zaian even wants to get rich by refining anti-aging pills...

"Next up, a mid-grade second-tier spiritual item, the Nine Nether Blood Spirit Embryo!"

This object is incredibly strange; it looks like a stone.

It is actually a parasitic creature that grows by absorbing the essence and blood of its host.

Once it reaches maturity, it can transform into any flesh and blood object according to the host's will, replacing the host's original organs!

Its greatest function is to provide the host with an extra layer of life protection.

Imagine if you lost a hand or foot, or if your internal organs were damaged, it could replace them without any rejection.

Moreover, the replaced organs still retain their original strength and condition.

Luo Quan then revealed the name of the next item to be auctioned.

A blood-red stone core, the size of an adult's heart, was brought out.

The surface of the stone was covered with a blood-red sheen, flickering as if it were breathing.

Even the shape of the stone embryo resembles a fetus curled up in development.

"Hiss... What is this thing? It's so weird."

The unsuspecting Qi Refining cultivators felt a chill run down their spines and gasped in shock.

"What do you know! Haven't you heard that this is a magical creature that can regenerate severed limbs?"

"But it has conditions too. It has to absorb the host's life essence first... It doesn't look like a good thing."

"Heh, you make it sound like you can actually photograph it. It's clearly not something we can access..."

"..."

Although the Qi Refining cultivators were shocked, they were mostly bewildered due to their limited knowledge.

On the contrary, the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the upper private room were all astonished.

Even Lu Zaian was quite surprised.

Even as an alchemist, he had never heard of such a spiritual object.

The path of cultivation is extremely arduous.

It's inevitable that we'll fight with humans and demons.

Many low-level cultivators have accumulated various hidden injuries or even disabilities along their cultivation journey.

It's not that they don't want to restore their complete bodies.

Rather, such spiritual objects are simply too rare to find.

You should know that spiritual creatures capable of regenerating severed limbs are at least at the fourth rank!

Not to mention that the newly grown organs can restore their original strength and level of power.

Lu Zaian did have one item in his own storage bag—a fourth-tier water spirit lotus root.

As for the [Nine Nether Blood Spirit Embryo], it's likely that no one else has even heard of it.

"Vice President Luo, are you trying to make fun of us? Can a second-tier spiritual item really have such effects?"

A renowned Foundation Establishment cultivator, his voice booming like thunder, demanded an explanation.

"That's right. I pride myself on my knowledge, but I've never even heard of this spirit creature's name before."

Another elder who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage also asked a question.

"Luo Yonghao, stop keeping me in suspense and explain already!"

This is a Foundation Establishment cultivator who is quite familiar with Luo Quan.

"Ahem, fellow cultivators, please calm down!"

Luo Quan coughed, a hint of embarrassment on his fair face.

"I hadn't finished speaking yet..."

The origin of this [Nine Nether Blood Spirit Embryo] is mysterious; according to headquarters, it is an object from outer space.

It's normal that you haven't heard of it.

However, this magical object is incomplete...

Please look, there is a defect at the top of this stone body.

It is this flaw that causes it to lose most of its spirituality.

If you want to cultivate it to maturity, you'll probably have to feed it several drops of essence blood every day for decades... cough cough..."

Perhaps Luo Quan himself felt it was inappropriate, so he coughed twice, somewhat embarrassed.

"What?! A few drops of essence every day? And it will take decades?"

"Damn, even a Core Formation stage bat demon can't absorb as much energy as you!"

One of the Foundation Establishment cultivators, who had initially shown some interest, glared angrily and couldn't help but burst into a tirade of curses.

The value of essence blood to cultivators is self-evident; who would dare to waste it like that?

The crowd immediately erupted in boos.

"Braised... No wonder it's only considered a second-tier spiritual item."

How can something so damaged be put up for auction?

What is the Haitian Chamber of Commerce doing?

"Exactly, if I had the time to raise a parasite, I would have already reached the Core Formation stage..."

The other Foundation Establishment cultivators also hurled insults at them.

Although this thing can replace a cultivator's damaged organs.

But the price is so high that it would be better not to make the change at all.

At this moment, Yan Kuangge of the Demon Spear Sect suddenly spoke up and asked:

"Vice President Luo, is it possible to feed it with the essence and blood of other people or demons?"

These words surprised everyone.

However, the meaning behind it is chilling.

"This... I'm sorry, Young Master Yan, this thing is a parasitic spirit."

It can't even be called a spirit; it's more like a demon.

Therefore, it can only absorb the host's essence and blood...

Otherwise, even if it eventually matures through feeding, the resulting flesh and organs will severely reject the cultivator.

Upon hearing this, Yan Kuangge immediately lost interest.

He was a prodigy, and his cultivation was advancing rapidly, but he didn't have the time or energy to feed him.

The other cultivators also gave up and lost interest.

"President Luo, I am somewhat interested in this item. May I ask what the starting bid is?"

At this moment, the scholar in blue robes, who was actually Lu Zaian in disguise, spoke up.

"Oh? No problem, no problem. The starting bid is four thousand spirit stones!"

Luo Quan's eyes lit up; he had originally thought that the [Nine Nether Blood Spirit Embryo] would go unsold.

Surprisingly, someone actually showed interest?

Everyone looked at Lu Zaian with suspicion.

Some Foundation Establishment cultivators directly transmit their thoughts secretly using divine sense.

"Scholar, have you discovered something? Why don't you tell everyone?"

"Exactly, why did you even bother photographing this useless thing?"

Which cultivator who can reach the Foundation Establishment stage isn't a shrewd and capable individual?

They all looked at Lu Zaian with suspicion.

I'm trying to subtly obtain information about the [Nine Nether Blood Spirit Embryo]...
