Natural fairy species

"The next lot is the thousand-year-old golden-crowned Ganoderma lucidum. There are eighteen plants in total. The starting price for each plant is twenty thousand spiritual stones."

Du Twelve Lang's voice fell, and there were obviously chaotic sounds in the hall on the first floor. The main people there were mainly late-stage Qi Refining monks, and they seemed very excited.

As the main material of the Foundation Building Pill, as long as you have a Golden Crown Ganoderma in hand and are willing to cooperate with others to make the pill, some people will provide various auxiliary materials to help find a second-level alchemist to start the pill making process.

A furnace of foundation-building pills, depending on the level of the alchemist, can produce four to six pills, which is enough for the partners to distribute.

It is said that a fifth-level alchemist can break through the shackles and make seven pills.

However, it is difficult to find even fourth-level alchemists in the world of immortality, let alone fifth-level celestial beings, which have not been heard of for thousands of years.

"Eighteen thousand-year-old golden-crowned Ganoderma lucidum... before I left, the headmaster ordered at least two. It would be best to bring back three or four."

The real goal of this trip appeared. Jin Lu sat up straight. The previous image of a greasy and lazy fat man disappeared, and he became like two people.

Of course, the leader he mentioned was not Wei Dao, but Gu Xisheng, who was currently in office.

"I wonder how much spiritual stone budget was given for this trip?"

Liang Yu's letter made it very clear that he arranged for Bai Zichen to come in just to gain some merit, so that he could quickly improve his position in the Law Enforcement Palace in the future.

Therefore, he did not intervene in any previous affairs, and the chief envoy for this trip was also Jin Lu.

"A whole thousand pieces of middle-grade spiritual stones!"

Jin Lu regarded this errand as the first step to enter the Alchemy Palace, and he made sure to complete it beautifully and was very attentive: "Although the second round is still a secret auction, there are only more than ten lots. As long as you are willing to collect them, calculate the approximate average transaction price and It’s not difficult... I have compiled every transaction price of Millennium Golden Crown Lingzhi in the past hundred years. The highest one was 41,000 spiritual stones, and the lowest was 37,000 spiritual stones. It can be said to be extremely stable."

One foundation-building pill counts as 15,000 spirit stones. On average, five pills are produced in one furnace, which is 75,000 spirit stones.

In addition to Golden Crown Lingzhi, the other auxiliary materials in the Foundation Establishment Pill Formula can be fully configured with thousands of spirit stones.

It can only be said that the alchemist is worthy of being the most profitable profession among all the arts of cultivating immortals, and stands at the top of the chain of contempt.

A second-level peak alchemist like Tan Changkong who has many experiences in refining foundation-building pills will basically never make a mistake. The quality of his performance will at most affect the number of pills produced in each furnace.

"I'm going to start with 40,000 yuan, 1,000 yuan of spiritual stones, then 40,000 yuan, and 38,000 yuan, and quote three times... Junior Brother Bai, what do you think?"

Jin Lu had already made plans based on the transaction trends over the past few days. He hesitated before making a bid and asked again.

"Senior Brother Jin, what do you think is the difference between us sect disciples and ordinary casual cultivators?"

Bai Zichen did not respond directly, but asked abruptly.

"Ah...maybe we are backed by the sect, regardless of the inheritance of skills, and the resources for cultivation are more secure?"

Jin Lu didn't understand what Junior Brother Bai meant and turned around.

"Those casual cultivators or aristocratic cultivating families can barely afford to buy a Golden Crown Ganoderma lucidum with the help of a few people or the whole family. Therefore, it is impossible to raise the price arbitrarily. If it is higher, it will exceed the upper limit of affordability... But right? From a sect perspective, are thousands of spirit stones really a lot?”

Perhaps due to the influence of Su Hui, Bai Zichen's understanding of the cost of spiritual stones is different from that of ordinary monks.

"The sect gave us a total of 1,000 pieces of middle-grade spiritual stones, which converted into low-grade spiritual stones is only 130,000 yuan... Even at the lowest price in the past, it is impossible for us to buy four Golden Crown Ganoderma lucidum. That is to save the sect a lot of money. Is the Thousand Spirit Stone more important, or is it more important to ensure that we bring back the three Golden Crown Ganoderma lucidum plants?"

"What does Junior Brother Bai mean?"

Jin Lu vaguely understood and asked.

"Forty-three thousand spiritual stones, three consecutive quotations... I want to ensure that the three golden-crowned Ganoderma lucidum plants fall into my hands without any mistakes."

After the harvest of dragon tooth rice, Bai Zichen's net worth became stronger day by day, and with a single word he made the offer 10,000 spiritual stones higher than the previous one.

"Is it necessary to be so high... The total quotation of 41,000 spiritual stones should be enough."

Jin Lu already agreed with Junior Brother Bai's idea, but the increase in price for so many spiritual stones at once still frightened him.

Even if he is on duty in Fangshi, this spiritual stone is worth several years of filial piety.

It's not just for him, he has to share the profits with several elders from the same department.

"Senior Brother Jin, has he forgotten the lesson he learned about the Golden Jade Heart Pill?"

Bai Zichen saw that Jin Lu was still hesitating, and most of the time had passed, so he stepped forward and quoted the price three times on the water mirror.

According to his opinion, Qingfeng Sect is at the peak of its development, with immortal seedlings emerging in endlessly within the territory, and disciples of Qi Refining Perfection everywhere in the sect.

As long as there are sufficient foundation-building pills, the number of foundation-building monks in the sect can be significantly increased.

But the reality is that, except for true disciples, deacons who have contributed enough to the sect have to wait five to ten years before they can get the Foundation Establishment Pill.

If you wait, you will most likely have waited for the best opportunity.

As for the disciples in charge, there is no need to use Xiao Xiang's foundation-building elixir. The ability to receive a foundation-building spiritual item is the manifestation of their ancestors.

"It's definitely worth spending more spirit stones on Golden Crown Lingzhi. If you reduce the expenditure on spirit stones anywhere, you can even out the accounts..."

However, Bai Zichen also knew that the good days of Qingfeng Sect had only been over for a few years.

Before Patriarch Ge Cang forged the elixir, he had been besieged and invaded by the Ghost Spirit Sect for nearly a hundred years. Almost no spirit stones had been recorded, and the sect's wealth was almost exhausted.

It is said that during the most difficult period of the year, not even a single high-grade spiritual stone could be obtained from the sect's secret hall.

It was Patriarch Yang who took a personal spirit stone to allow the Liangyi Fantasy Moon Array to continue operating.

After Wei Dao came to power, he improved the welfare benefits of all disciples in the name of improving the centripetal force of the sect's disciples.

After one operation, the total amount of spiritual stones stored in Qingfengmen's warehouse did not increase much.

When the time is up, the information on the water mirror changes, showing that all three bids were successful.

Jin Lu let out a sigh of relief, even though the offer exceeded the highest transaction price in a century.

But before the dust settles, there are still some concerns.

When the steward of the auction house delivered the three Golden Delicious Ganoderma lucidum plants to the box, and after receiving all the money and goods, Bai Zichen took a look at the famous Golden Delicious Ganoderma lucidum.

It's about the size of a palm, with a golden top.

If you look carefully, you can see that the top of Ganoderma lucidum is composed of golden filaments as thin as hair, with a hollow interior.

When placed on the plate, there are bursts of aroma wafting around, making people want to take a bite and taste it.

"The thousand-year-old elixir is indeed extraordinary..."

Bai Zichen got rid of his distracting thoughts. Any elixir that can grow for thousands of years will have magical effects and undergo qualitative changes.

It's just that most spiritual herbs will rot and deteriorate if they are deliberately cultivated for hundreds of years at most.

There are also some, such as Polygonatum and Gastrodia elata, which can grow for thousands of years, but the increased medicinal effect is not enough for the monks to spend this energy to cultivate them specifically.

The secret location of the medicine garden is precious, and every inch of soil has been arranged for its purpose. Naturally, there is no place for such ordinary elixirs.

Jin Lu put the elixir away in three special jade boxes. The strange fragrance in the box disappeared. The restrictions on the jade boxes were enough to ensure that the golden crown lingzhi would not lose its spiritual energy within ten years.

"Excellent, we have finally completed the important task entrusted to us by our sect... Now we can relax and act as spectators."

Jin Lu's expression was relaxed. He bought three thousand-year-old Golden Crown Ganoderma lucidum. Although he spent a lot more spiritual stones, it was still an achievement.

If three furnaces of Foundation-Building Pills are produced and fifteen pills are produced, the sect will see a surge of Foundation-Building monks in the next twenty years.

Bai Zichen continued to stare at the water mirror. He had bought the elixir needed by the sect, but he had not yet started his shopping plan.

So far in this auction, two bottles of sword-tempering spiritual water have been harvested.

He also hopes to add a useful treasure through the auction.

The second round of auctions was gradually coming to an end, which made Bai Zichen feel a little anxious.

The last round of auction items are basically third-level treasures.

Regardless of whether he can use it or not, Bai Zichen has no ability to compete with Master Jie Dan for his wealth.

"Who made a random bid and took away three thousand-year-old golden crown Ganoderma lucidum!"

In Box No. 4 on the third floor, a strange-looking man with vertical pupils between his eyebrows was furious, with black demonic flames rising from his body.

"Elder Tu, I remember you said that the highest price of Golden Crown Ganoderma was only 41,000 spirit stones... I quoted 42,000 spirit stones eighteen times in a row. You said it was foolproof, so why did you get three fewer plants!"

The interior space of Box A4 is already like a small hall, with fifteen thousand-year-old golden crown Ganoderma lucidum plants placed on the long table.

"Holy Son, according to common sense, our quotation is already very safe..."

Elder Tu was dressed in black robes. He lowered his head slightly and kept his posture extremely low.

Even though he was a Master Jiedan, the young man in front of him was still one level below him in cultivation, and he was used to being reprimanded loudly.

The three-eyed young man is the direct descendant of the sect master. He possesses bloodline supernatural spiritual roots and is in perfect harmony with the sect's magical skills.

After practicing for less than a Jiazi, the foundation building was complete. After refining the blood demon, it was easy for him to form a pill.

Elder Tu's mouth was filled with bitterness. He was a ferocious old devil outside. At this moment, he could only keep his head down and keep quiet: "Perhaps someone is in urgent need of Golden Crown Ganoderma lucidum and buys it at a high price..."

"Is there anyone who urgently needs three Golden Crown Ganoderma lucidum plants at the same time?"

The three-eyed young man's vertical pupils between his brows were filled with blood, opening and closing, which was extremely strange.

"The mere Golden Crown Ganoderma lucidum is nothing, but this is the congratulatory gift I am planning to give to Master Blood God Uncle... If I don't win all the Golden Crown Ganoderma lucidum at the auction, how can I show my sincerity to Master Master!"

"Elder Tu, go find out the name and origin of the monk who took away the Golden Crown Lingzhi, and you will atone for your sin!"

"The Holy Son can't... try to win all the lots by bidding eighteen times at once, which is a small violation of the immortal city's taboo. If you continue to inquire about the information of the auction guests, you will definitely anger Mrs. Du!"

Elder Tu suddenly changed his expression and repeatedly tried to persuade him.

"The fate of the Immortal City is related to the path of the ancestors of the Du family. Anyone who dares to break the rules of the Immortal City will only have one fate... Please think twice, Holy Son."

"Hmph! Then when you return to the sect, you can go to the blood pool and receive the punishment of three years of blood sea erosion!"

No matter how arrogant and arrogant the three-eyed young man was, he would not dare to offend a Nascent Soul Lord who was at the same level as his master.

It's just that part of the original gift was missing, so I had to take another treasure and give it to the real Blood God.
