Li Qingxiao, who had been waiting quietly in Qizhen Pavilion, suddenly lit up the token in his hand, and the three of them quickly got up and prepared.

A moment later, a cabinet eunuch came to lead them to the seventh floor where the auction was located.

This Qizhen Pavilion is indeed unique. The seventh floor is a circular building with a circular platform in the middle, which is used for auction and exhibition. The surrounding rooms are all separated by special materials from the spiritual spy, leaving only a small window to see the auction table.

Qizhen Pavilion has been established on Lansha Island for many years. I think the past has been common for killing and treasure hunting caused by auctions. This design obviously has the intention to protect the auctioneer's information.

"Guest, your auction number is twenty-four. The auction information is all in the booklet in the room. You can find out in advance. If there is any urgent matter, you can summon it at any time. The villain will sue it!"

The three of them walked into Room 24 together and sat in the position facing the window. Li Qingxiao picked up the golden book on the small table and looked through the auction information.

The auction items totaled twenty, and the gold book was described in detail.

Soon Li Qingxiao found the target.

Foundation-building Pill (middle-grade): It is from the hands of Master Chiding in Tianhuo City, and the starting price of a single piece is 500,000 spirit stones.

"I didn't expect it to be a medium-grade foundation-building pill. No wonder it was refined by Master Chiding!"

Chen Xiantang, who was beside him, also saw the information of the foundation-building pill in the golden book and immediately sighed.

"Grandpa Chen still knows about elixirs?"

Li Qingxiao had only a little understanding of the information on alchemy, so he asked.

"I went to Tianhuo City when I was young, and I can understand the elixirs one or two. Foundation building pills are the second-level pills, and it is the most precious one among the second-level pills. Not only is it difficult to find spiritual medicine, but the conditions for refining are also extremely harsh. Even the alchemist cannot guarantee half of the elixir rate.

I have seen several auctions of foundation-building pills before, all of which are low-grade foundation-building pills. I don’t expect that Linjiang City can actually produce medium-grade foundation-building pills this time.”

Then, he also told Li Qingxiao and Li Qingjie about the grades of foundation-building pills and their effects.

There are two middle and lower grades, then there are naturally top grades, and even the legendary top foundation-building pill.

The cultivator has completed the training of Qi, and the spiritual mist in the dantian has reached nine feet and nine feet. If he wants to break through to the foundation building stage, he must transform into the sea of ​​spiritual mist and form a spiritual sea in the dantian. The effect of the foundation building pill is to provide a huge spiritual supply, which can provide powerful medicinal power in an instant, helping the cultivator compress the spiritual mist space so as to form a spiritual sea and break through the foundation building stage.

The medicinal power provided by the medium-grade foundation-building pill is 20% higher than that of the low-grade foundation-building pill, and the medicinal power of the high-grade foundation-building pill is as high as 50%.

The so-called medicine is three parts poison. Although the foundation-building pill can help qi-cultivation monks build foundations, the hidden elixirs will damage the spiritual root qualifications to a certain extent. Therefore, seed monks in wealthy families generally choose not to borrow foundation-building pills to break through, so as not to affect their subsequent cultivation.

The legendary top foundation-building pill is not only twice as powerful as the lower grade, but also does not contain a trace of elixir, but it is only in the legend that Lansha Island has never heard of a single one in nearly a thousand years.

The most famous alchemy family in Lansha Island is the Zhong family in Tianhuo City. Among them, Master Chiding is the contemporary ancestor of Zhong family and the most elixir master on Lansha Island.

Some excellent effects, such as Qi Condensation Pill, can accelerate the practice of Qi training monks. For example, the Rejuvenation Pill, can instantly replenish the spiritual energy consumption of Qi training monks, and can easily sell thousands of spirit stones, not to mention the precious second-level elixir such as Foundation Building Pill.

The status of the alchemist can be imagined. The Zhong family in Tianhuo City is also the number one alchemist family on the entire Blue Sand Island, not to mention its status.

Those who can refine first-level elixirs, become alchemists, and those who can refine second-level elixirs are worthy of being called the previous alchemist.

Going further up, it is the alchemy master. It is rumored that even the Jindan monks are regarded as guests of honor. They are sought after by monks everywhere. The ancestors of Zhong's family once produced an alchemy master.

"Is the threshold for an alchemist very high? Since elixirs are so precious and the status of an alchemist is so high, why are there so few alchemists?"

Li Qingjie asked his own questions, and Li Qingxiao also looked at Chen Xiantang next to him and waited for him to explain.

"Of course it's very high, it can be said that there is no one in a thousand. The alchemist not only requires the monk to have the lowest level of yellow-level fire spirit root, but also the strength of the mind and spiritual consciousness is far higher than that of ordinary people!"

The so-called mind and spiritual consciousness refers to the soul strength of a monk. First of all, testing the soul strength is a very difficult thing. You must have a soul stone, and that is not something you can buy everywhere.

Furthermore, cultivators practice Qi, build foundations, and the three realms of Jindan have no connection with the soul, nor have any means to train the soul, so they can basically rely on innate conditions.

No wonder this is the case. Although the fire spirit root is not difficult to find, the top-grade yellow-level people can eliminate some people, and then they have to compete for soul strength, so the conditions will be much more harsh.

However, when I think back, Chen Xiantang seems to be from the fire spirit root. Thinking of this, Li Qingxiao looked at him thoughtfully.

The old face turned red, and Chen Xiantang coughed dryly and said, "I am also the top-grade fire spirit root of the yellow-level. In my early years, I went to Tianhuo City and wanted to join Zhong and become an alchemist. Unfortunately, my soul strength was not strong enough and I was wiped out."

It turns out that there is such a thing to block!

"Grandpa Chen, what level of soul strength is needed to become an alchemist!"

"I don't know this either, but I heard that the soul stone test level in Zhong's family was able to emit three-colored spiritual light based on the soul strength of the cultivator, and the qualifications were divided into three levels from high to low, red, blue and yellow. My soul strength was not enough, so I could not let the soul stone emit spiritual light."

Li Qingxiao quietly wrote down this news, but he didn't ask any further because the auction began!

Qizhen Pavilion intends to conceal all the information of customers, so it also adopts a secret auction method. If the guests want to shout, they just need to gently tap the small drum on the window. Each beat means an increase of 10,000 yuan. The auction host on the booth below helps the shouting price. It is also considered novel.

As the auctioneer took out one rare treasure after another, drum beats came from the small room surrounded by rings.

It’s just a pity that most of the items in the front are just foils and failed to attract too many people to bid for the auction. The most precious thing is just a top-quality magic weapon. According to the presentation of the host, it seems that it was raised by the former owner for more than a hundred years, which is quite impressive.

Finally, in the competition between the three bidders, a high price of 430,000 spirit stones was sold.

At the same time, today's highlight began!

"I believe that you come to my Qizhen Pavilion today, most of the three foundation-building pills in my hand. Master Chiding worked hard for five years to achieve a medium-grade foundation-building pill. This Pavilion is fortunate to get the third one. If you want to get these three foundation-building pills, it depends on whether your spirit stones are enough.

The first medium-grade foundation-building pill is, with a starting price of 500,000 yuan. Please bid for it!"

After the auction host finished speaking, all the rooms fell into strange silence. After a moment, the small drum in Room 2 broke the silence.

Dongdong………

Each time the price was increased by 10,000 yuan, the guests in room No. 2 actually knocked out ten times in a row.

It directly mentions the price of 600,000!

This immediately caused others to increase their prices crazy. Unlike the previous auction items, the first foundation-building pill caused the entire auction venue to be filled with dense drum beats.

"The second one continues to increase the price, one million and fifty thousand!"

"No. 1 has been added again, one million, one hundred and fifty thousand..."

"No. 7 bid, one million.

…………

Fortunately, the auction host was trained and faced with such complicated scenes, he still reported each room number and the amount of the price increase correctly.

However, the further we went, the fewer rooms involved in the competition. After all, this was the first one, and there were still some behind. In the end, only two rooms were number one and two that were still bidding.

The Foundation Building Realm is collectively called a great monk. In addition to the Jindan family, it is also the backbone of many families on Lansha Island. It is even considered a strategic force of some small families, and there is no need to mention the preciousness.

After all, Qizhen Pavilion is the industry dominated by Guo's family. This time the foundation-building pill appears in Linjiang City again. In fact, everyone knows who is in Room 1 and 2.

In Room No. 1, the old man in a white robe looked gloomy and was asking the servants at the window to continue to increase the price. At the same time, he looked at Room No. 2 next to him with obvious anger and gritted his teeth.

"What a Zong family, what a Zong Hanwen..."

Next to him, a middle-aged man who was obviously younger stepped forward and comforted him: "The third grandfather doesn't have to be angry, it's just a foundation-building pill. I believe that it's not impossible to rely on myself to build the foundation. I'm sorry for letting the third house spend such a huge amount of spirit stones for me!"

The old man is the elder of the third room of the overlord of the Guo family on the west side of Lansha Island. Guo Wanlu and the Guo family have been passed down for more than a thousand years, with branches and leaves, and not only a few branches have been drawn, but the legitimate clans of the royal family have always left only seven rooms.

According to the strength of the branch, the seven rooms in the front can be replaced at any time. In this way, the stronger the direct line will be, the stronger the survival of the fittest.

His strength has reached the eighth level of foundation building. He is a veritable late-stage great monk. Naturally, he does not need the foundation building pill, but it does not mean that his descendants do not need it. For example, Guo Chenli in front of him is his direct grandson. Now, the strength of the ninth level of Qi training is only required to have a foundation building pill, and he can have another foundation building cultivator in his three rooms.

He originally thought that he was determined to win this foundation-building pill. The people in the other rooms, who knew his identity, would give him some face. However, Zong Hanwen, who was in Room 2, did not leave any feelings for him.

This time, under the order of the clan leader, the one who came to Linjiang City to deal with the branches near the clan family was his three-house children. He thought he was going to deal with the entire clan family. All the elites of the three-house family were coming out, and seven great monks from the foundation-building realm came with dozens of high-level qi training children.

However, the clan leader only issued an order to encircle and suppress the branches of the clan family around Linjiang City.

Guo Wanlu didn't know the reason why the clan leader did this, so he could only do things according to the order, but this also led to the Zong family's belief that the Guo family did not dare to fight them head-on, and now it made Zong Hanwen even lose his face.

Although he later found out that there were twelve foundation-building realms in the zong family, Guo Wanlu still didn't take the zong family seriously. Compared with their Guo family, the twelve foundation-building cultivators were just shaking trees.

Guo Wanlu got angry and continued to bid with Zong Hanwen in Room 2, with the sound of drums shaking.

After a while, the price of the first foundation-building pill was called to 1.5 million, which was twice the price.

Both sides could no longer hold on, and they were still reluctant to let go of the dispute over face. But just as the drum beats in the two rooms were temporarily extinguished, a third sound came from a room opposite.

The auction host obviously did not expect that someone would dare to participate in the dispute between Guo and Zong, but he immediately reacted and shouted hurriedly.

"Room 24, bid for one and six million!"

In Room 24, Li Qingxiao observed the movements in Room 1 and 2, and a trace of sweat appeared in his hand, putting down the drumsticks he had just beaten.

"The sucker is the sucker. The first and second ones must be won!"

For some reason, no drums were heard in Room 1 and 2. The auction host confirmed three times in disappointment and made the final decision.
Chapter completed!
