Practice begins with a fisherman

The Xuanshui Gate is mainly based on the inheritance of water attributes, and there are also the most monks with water attributes in the gate, but they are willing to trade treasures of this quality, which is enough to show their sincerity.

"The quality of the Wannian stalactites is naturally good, but after all, the quantity is too rare. The ancestor of the Huoling faction found ten drops of Qingtian soul-returning water in an accidental operation. He is willing to trade this treasure with fellow daoists." How could the Lingpai be willing to fall behind others and propose trading methods immediately.

Qingtian Huihun Water is also a kind of water-attribute spirit treasure. Its quality may be slightly inferior to that of Wannian stalactites, but it is superior in quantity, so its value is naturally slightly higher.

"The sincerity of the two fellow Taoists, I have feelings in my heart, but this time the transaction is still based on high-grade spirit stones, and the one with the highest price will get the complete Jade Fire Lion corpse and four Jade Fire Spirit Fruits in one fell swoop." Reluctantly suppressed, Zhao Shoushou's attitude was very firm.

Half an hour later, the deal was concluded, and Zhao Shoushou's storage bag added another 5000 yuan of high-grade spirit stones, which was also the last amount of spirit stones raised.

Three months later, Zhao Shoushou appeared here again outside the imperial city of the Zhou and Song kingdoms. At this time, the news of the royal auction had spread, and the value of the top-grade spirit stones was even better than before. There is still a year to hold it.

Chapter 715 Spirit Beast Pagoda and Ancient Jade Slips

It is still about a year before the official start of the royal auction, but the imperial city is even more prosperous, and a large number of monks have gathered from all directions.

In the Imperial City Square City, the originally vacant positions have been densely occupied by large and small stalls, and the entry and exit of mortals is temporarily prohibited.

The masters behind the stalls have different levels of cultivation, mainly Jindan Stage monks, with a small number of Foundation Establishment stage monks mixed in during this period.

Regardless of their cultivation level, the quality of the treasures on each booth is good, and it can be said that they took out the treasures from the bottom of their respective boxes.

In addition to the treasures needed for daily practice, some unpopular and uncommon treasures that are also indispensable in the hearts of some niche panacea or monks also appeared one after another.

For example, the key parts of the corpses of some high-grade monsters, the purified blood, the dust soaked in the graveyard for more than a hundred years, etc.

These miscellaneous things don't seem to have much value, and for some monks, they are just one of the conditions that must be met in the process of practice.

For Zhao Shoushou, there is no fixed target on these booths, and there are two purposes for carefully searching and judging each one. First, I hope that I can find the missing ones, which is the greatest joy of every monk; second, if I am lucky When you encounter some treasures that are valuable and have certain needs, you will naturally not miss them.

Over the past year or so, Zhao Shoushou has tried his best to raise a total of 11 high-grade spirit stones. Isn't their value reflected in the royal auction?

"Thanks to someone Zhao having the foresight, otherwise the value of the treasures in the storage bag would have shrunk by a third?" Zhao Shoushou was very excited looking at all kinds of treasures with clearly marked prices.

Under the effective reminder of the Tianya Caravan, he raised enough spirit stones, and the value of these high-grade spirit stones has increased significantly, and the effect of each increase and decrease on the individual monk is very obvious.

"Fellow daoists, please come and take a look. All of them are ancient jade slips from an ancient cave mansion. The price is clearly marked, one hundred high-grade spirit stones."

Zhao Shoushou, who was walking forward and observing all kinds of treasures emerging one after another on the stalls on both sides, suddenly heard a crisp cry of selling.

As the saying goes, there is a pillow when you are sleepy, and the ancient jade slips are one of the purposes of Zhao Shoushou's trip. After all, there is a single storage in the storage bag, which seems to be quite valuable. He had a question in his mind.

"It's just some travel notes, and the customs of the ancient times, how can it be worth a hundred high-grade spirit stones?"

"The lion opened his mouth wide, and he is not afraid of the wind flashing his teeth. How about selling ten high-grade spirit stones sincerely?"

"These jade slips can only be used as playthings to relieve boredom when you are extremely bored. Ten high-grade spirit stones are already a lot of money."

Next to the small booth, there were more than thirty monks surrounded by three floors. Most of the monks were just watching the fun, and some cynicism was also necessary.

The contents of the jade slips are mainly various travel notes. After the time has passed, it does not have much meaning to the current monks, but it is definitely not as worthless as the praises and criticisms of these monks. Otherwise, how could they stay in the Wasting time here?

According to the management of the cultivation world, these jade slips are likely to hide some opportunities left by ancient monks, such as some unopened caves discovered by accident.

Nearly half of the caves showed up in this way. Of course, it is not a small test for monks to conduct a careful analysis from the huge number.

"Fellow daoists, please forgive me, this junior is only following the orders of the old man in the family, and has no right to change the price." The stall owner is a monk at the early stage of Jindan, with a hint of helplessness in his tone, It seems that it was not his original intention to come here to set up a stall to sell jade slips.

Although these words are simple, their deterrent effect on the monks present is unquestionable. The one who can be called an old man by an early Jindan monk is at least an ancestor of Yuanying.

Even in the Central Plains cultivation world where there are so many masters, a Nascent Soul Patriarch is already a big shot who can suppress one's luck, at least not to be provoked by the monks wandering around in front of the booth now.

Zhao Shoushou didn't care about the verbal confrontation between the monk and the stall owner. The first time he appeared, he was already like some monks, sitting in an inconspicuous corner of the stall, and began to check some brief introductions in the jade slips.

Every jade slip has a special seal, but the seal is only the main content. Some catalogs and introductions can be seen by monks, which can be regarded as leaving a room for choice.

The seal in the jade slips is not too difficult, and if there is enough time, any Jindan stage monk can wear it away little by little, which is obviously not the case in front of the booth.

"More than 90.00% are monks' travel experiences in different periods of time in the entire practice world"

"Judging from this map, the realm of comprehension in ancient times was not divided, and the entire continent seemed to be one."

Every time he read the general content of a jade slip, Zhao Shoushou would involuntarily sigh that the time had passed and the times had changed, and the monks seemed quite insignificant in front of the mighty power of heaven and earth.

"Hey, "Compendium and Introduction of Medicinal Pills", isn't this exactly what a certain person needs?" A catalog of jade slips stacked under layers made his eyes shine.

It took no effort to find a place after breaking through the iron shoes. With the passage of sufficient time, Zhao Shoushou was even a little discouraged, and he never thought that he would gain something at the last moment.

From the content of these jade slips, it can be basically determined that all of them come from the distant ancient times. The jade slips that record the pills may not contain the information he needs, but it is the most likely at present.

After the transaction of one hundred high-grade spirit stones was completed, Zhao Shoushou's figure quickly disappeared into the crowd, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings and troubles.

In fact, his existence is not conspicuous here. No matter how other monks belittle it, the value of this batch of ancient jade slips is beyond doubt, and a large number of monks are constantly selecting them.

"The opportunity is good, let's keep working hard." Encouraged by himself, Zhao Shoushou went to the next goal, which was to find a spirit beast tower of suitable quality.

If you can't find a suitable target before the auction starts, you can only buy it at a high price at the auction. The purpose of Zhao Shoushou's purchase of the Spirit Beast Tower is just for two low-grade cormorants of the third rank, not for the purpose of becoming a beast master. It's not worth the high price at all.

The brand-new spirit beast pagodas refined by the royal family of Zhou Song Dynasty are of high quality, but unfortunately the price of each spirit beast tower is beyond the acceptable range.

"A three-story spirit beast tower, priced at 500 yuan for high-grade spirit stones." Suddenly, a familiar and broken figure was found on a booth at a corner.

Chapter 716 The Royal Auction Opens

A complete and high-quality spirit beast tower is made of a whole piece of third-grade high-grade animal taming stone, and it is usually considered perfect with six floors.

In the cultivation world, the monks whose main practice is to control beasts are naturally striving for perfection in the quality of the spirit beast towers. The value of each similar six-story spirit beast tower is at least 2 yuan in top-grade spirit stones.

The way of controlling beasts is to cultivate natal spirit beasts as the main method, and at the same time, it will also cultivate a large number of spirit beasts of the same level as a means to defend against the enemy. The importance of a complete spirit beast tower is naturally beyond doubt.

The fighting strength of the monks of the beast control lineage is usually outstanding with the support of the spirit beasts of the same level. Unfortunately, in the process of cultivating and improving, it needs to consume several times the resources. There are usually not many monks in this lineage. , only a few families are struggling to maintain the inheritance.

The simplest example, under normal circumstances, a monk only needs to prepare a piece of heaven, material and earth treasures to help him when he is facing a bottleneck.

Cultivators of the beast-controlling lineage need to prepare at least two copies. In addition to the monks themselves, the natal spirit beasts must also be promoted at the same time. It is also easiest for other spirit beasts to be promoted at the same time as the master.

There are very few natural materials and earthly treasures that can help break the bottleneck, and getting one of them is already a fluke, and it is doomed to be difficult to achieve in vain.

It is this cruel reality that leads to the scarcity of monks of the beast-controlling lineage in the entire cultivation world, and they are mainly low-level monks, which is extremely miserable.

The spirit beast tower that appeared on the booth has at least three different colors all over its body, and there are three or five densely packed cracks at the base of the tower, which should be the result of typical repairs.

"May I ask you how much this Spirit Beast Pagoda costs?" Zhao Shoushou checked to confirm that the internal structure of the pitiful Spirit Beast Tower on the surface had not suffered too much damage, and just asked about the price. A late Jindan monk.

As for whether this monk is from the lineage of beast control or whether this dilapidated spirit beast tower is the spoils of war after killing people and stealing goods, it is impossible to judge.

"Nine thousand and five hundred yuan top-grade spirit stones, clearly marked on the price, no one can deceive the old and the old." The stall owner was dressed in black, covering his whole body tightly, and the sound was like the friction between two stones, which was very pleasant to the ear. Uncomfortable, it should be through disguise.

"This is just a dilapidated spirit beast tower. After buying it, a lot of resources need to be invested in repairing it. Besides, the auction will start soon. Don't you feel that the price is a bit inflated?" It's not high, but now it feels a little bit of being taken advantage of.

"The main body of the spirit beast tower is not damaged, and three different spirit beasts can still be raised." The stall owner's response can be described as quite simple and straightforward.

After a quarter of an hour, after a lot of hard bargaining, the two parties finally reached a transaction intention at the price of 300 yuan for top-grade spirit stones.

So far, Zhao Shoushou's two goals of coming here have been completed, and all he needs to do is wait for the start of Zhou Song Kingdom's royal auction with all his heart.

As a qualified monk, if there are enough spiritual stones in the storage bag as a bargaining chip, naturally he will not easily give up the opportunity to buy some natural treasures.

During this period of time, all kinds of high-grade spirit pills that are rarely seen in the market and are in limited supply can be purchased at this time as long as there are enough spirit stones, and the price is cheaper than usual.

If a late Jindan cultivator wants to quickly improve his cultivation, a sufficient supply of spiritual pills is essential. This kind of opportunity is difficult to tame, and Zhao Shoushou will naturally not give up easily.

In the last month before the start of the Royal Auction, Zhao Shoushou frantically bought all kinds of elixirs with good effects in large quantities at various shops in Fangshi at exorbitant prices. The spirit pills that came were two full bottles of twenty more than usual, which could meet the needs of one and a half years of cultivation.

"Dong dong dong" at noon on this day, with the sound of the shocking drum, the Zhou Song Dynasty Royal Auction officially opened once every ten years. The door is wide open.

The Shocking Drum is a genuine third-tier high-grade magic weapon, and it is only one step away from being promoted to the fourth-tier achievement Houtian Lingbao. It is placed in front of the palace gate on weekdays, and the bell is rung every day to summon civil and military officials to go to court .

Of course, the other function of the Shocking Drum is to express grievances. The premise is that you are qualified to pass the test of strength, at least you need the cultivation base of Jindan in the later stage.

Moreover, this magic weapon will also have a judgment on the grievances of monks, and it can only be sounded when it reaches a certain standard.

Therefore, there is another shocking drum in the cultivation world, which must be a shocking case of injustice. Even the emperor of Zhou Song Dynasty would pay attention to it and specially arrange officials to try it.

Today's surprise drum doesn't have so many meanings. Its only function is to represent the official start of the first phase of Zhou Song Kingdom's royal auction.

A large number of monks lined up in front of the door and entered the auction site in order. If you pay ten top-grade spirit stones, you can get an identity jade badge, and you can just take your seat according to the number.

The Royal Auction Hall looks inconspicuous on the surface, but it is also a real magic weapon of space. With the entry of monks, the area and seats are also increasing.

The Jindan stage monks entered the arena for a full two hours. Looking around, there were all densely packed monks. After entering, Zhao Shoushou had been resting with his eyes closed.

Although he has never participated in Zhou Song Kingdom's royal auction, he has experienced countless auctions, large and small, along the way, and the auctions here are only slightly unique.

"Welcome fellow daoists to come and participate in the first phase of the Zhou Song Kingdom Royal Auction. I, Zhou Yixing, as the governor of the imperial city, will be solely responsible for presiding over the first phase of the auction."

"The Royal Auction of the Zhou and Song Kingdoms is held every ten years to raise enough spiritual stones to supplement the huge consumption of the royal family. Naturally, this auction has only one principle, that is, the highest bidder wins, and no treasure is valued. Please do what you can, fellow daoists, and never break the rules of the auction.”

"If you bid randomly, you will be expelled from the auction site immediately, and your permission to participate in the auction for the next hundred years will be cancelled. The following auction will officially begin. Please submit the first treasure."

The county guards of the imperial city are completely different from the county guards of the various places under the jurisdiction of the Zhou and Song Kingdoms. There is no need for Yuan Ying stage cultivation here, because the most powerful forces of the royal family are all guarding here.

There are only two requirements: first, you must be a member of the royal family, and second, you must be loyal to the royal family and must be recognized by the current emperor. This is obviously not an easy task.

"The first treasure is carefully refined by the top masters of the Imperial Artifact Refining Hall. It is a space-attributed space-attribute magic weapon of the third rank, the Escape Gourd, which allows you to master the power of familiar space in advance. The starting price is 5000. Yuan top-grade spirit stones, each price increase should not be less than 500 yuan top-grade spirit stones"

Chapter 717 Endless Rare Treasures

The power of space is a special power that monks are only qualified to contact after they are promoted to Nascent Soul. Escape gourd can let monks feel the mystery in advance, and it is also beneficial to the promotion of monks in the future. Relatively rare treasure.

It is impossible to see such a high-quality escape gourd in Fangshi on weekdays, and it is only possible for this kind of treasure to appear at the royal auction, which almost gathers the power of a country.

Compared with the Dunkong Gourd, the 5000 yuan high-grade spirit stone is not worth mentioning. When it appeared, it immediately detonated the audience.

"Dunkong Gourd is indeed the royal family that rules a country. Its strength should not be underestimated. Even if it is just a country located on the border, it needs to invest a lot of resources in war every year."

"If you can hold the empty gourd in your hand, wouldn't you be free to come and go when you encounter enemies in the future?"

The bustling voices among the monks were noisy, and they all recognized the function and value of the Escape Gourd, but they sank into it for a while and couldn't extricate themselves, and no one bid.

Only a real treasure could cause nearly ten thousand Golden Core monks to lose their composure in an auction house. Using this treasure as the start of the auction was obviously a successful choice.

"4000 yuan high-grade spirit stone", in the midst of the competition among the crowd, a timid voice was the first to make a tentative bid, which opened up another climax in the competition for the empty gourd.

"5000 yuan high-grade spirit stone, this empty gourd is destined to belong to this old man"

"With 8000 yuan of high-grade spirit stones, it's so easy to get a gourd."

Under the scramble of all the monks, the price of the Escape Gourd increased rapidly, from 2 yuan to 3 yuan, until it reached 4 yuan, and then the price of top-grade spirit stones gradually stabilized.

On weekdays, the price of a third-tier high-grade magic weapon of good quality in the market will not exceed 5000 yuan for a high-grade spirit stone, which is already much higher than the normal price.

At the moment when the Dunkong Gourd appeared, Zhao Shoushou was naturally very excited, and he also bid for it. Unfortunately, his real goal is not the magic weapon, and everything must be worked hard to promote the Nascent Soul in the future.

When the price of this treasure broke through 3 yuan of high-grade spirit stones, he had decisively given up. Although the treasure is good, everything needs to be based on his own needs. As a qualified monk, a clear mind is ranked first. A person must not lose his mind at will.

"Forty thousand and one thousand yuan top-grade spirit stones, which fellow Taoist has an extra piece, so what if the old man admits it and gives up today?" A fat old man roared out of breath, obviously the price was already far away. beyond his tolerance.

Perhaps the price was beyond the range of the monks present, or perhaps they had better goals. In short, after the new price appeared, the auction market returned to calm again.

"Forty-one thousand yuan high-grade spirit stone once. This is an empty gourd. You must not miss it. Even if the royal family has sufficient raw materials for ten years, they can only refine this one."

"Twice for 1000 yuan of high-grade spirit stones. Fellow Daoists, if you don't bid, you will miss the treasure."

"Forty thousand and one thousand yuan high-grade spirit stones three times, sold, congratulations to this fellow Taoist for winning the treasure"

No matter how bewitched the auction host was, none of the monks present continued to compete for bids. When the auction host announced the deal, the fat old man finally breathed a sigh of relief. After completing the transaction, he resolutely left from the backstage auction house.

He didn't pay much attention to the follow-up auction at all, it seemed that this empty gourd was his only goal in participating in the auction, and everything else could be given up.

It has to be said that this is also a correct choice. If they continue to stay, it must be a big question whether they can evacuate smoothly after the auction is over.

"The second treasure is ten low-grade third-grade blue-and-white red taro spiritual fruits, which are produced after careful cultivation in the imperial elixir garden. The starting price is 500 yuan for high-grade spiritual stones." Zhou Yixing took out the second auction item.

Sure enough, the value of these spiritual fruits is not low, but they are far from being comparable to the Escape Gourd. The biggest function of the first treasure is just to heat up the field.

In fact, most of the treasures are based on the fact that it is difficult to search in the square market, and they have a certain auxiliary effect on the improvement of monks' cultivation.

Each blue-and-white red taro spiritual fruit is comparable to two or three spiritual pills of the same level, and it is better than no erysipelas. For monks, it can be refined with confidence. fruit.

After some not so fierce competition, this treasure was finally acquired by a female cultivator at the early stage of Golden Core for 3000 and [-] high-grade spirit stones.

Starting from the second treasure, all the treasures are almost all small and valuable small best products, which are obviously more helpful to some families, sects and other forces with many monks.

Its types are even more abundant, ranging from talisman seals, formation flags, panacea, magic weapons, spiritual materials, beast eggs, etc., which can be said to be all-encompassing, and the monks present were hooked.

Every treasure will cause a group of monks to compete, which naturally includes Zhao Shoushou, but every time he participates in it is a taste, and more energy is put on the follow-up treasures.

Even so, he still spent 8000 yuan of high-grade spirit stones, and successively purchased a batch of third-order high-grade treasure charms and spirit pills, which had a great effect on improving the combat effectiveness.

"The No.40 two treasures were refined by a skilled royal refiner to control the water banner of the third-grade top-grade water attribute magic weapon. The starting price: 8000 yuan for top-grade spirit stones, and each increase in price should not be less than 500 yuan for top-grade spirit stones." Another piece The heavyweight treasure appeared.

Under normal circumstances, there are fifty treasures in the first stage of the Royal Auction, starting from No.40, and each one is more precious than the other.
