As the Heartless Immortal revealed the auction items, Foundation Establishment True Cultivator joined the bidding.

Luo Chen was one of them.

As Tier 3 spirit tree, the Warm Sun Wood has high economic value.

During its growth, it can improve the environment and climate to a certain extent, playing a role in balancing yin and yang.

Its vibrant life force attracts many high-ranking spirit birds.

Birds like the Peng bird particularly like to build their nests on Warm Sun Wood.

However, this tree has a limited upper limit. Generally, it will stop growing after reaching the Tier 3 and will instead harm the Earth Vein.

Therefore, after reaching the Tier 3, someone will cut it down.

After being felled, the bark of the Warm Sun Wood can be used in medicine, the essence of its leaves can be used to make Magic Tool, and the most important part, the heartwood, is the most precious material in the tree.

It is also the only material from the Warm Sun Wood that can reach the Tier 3 quality.

Pill Refining and medicine can enhance the Divine Soul Foundation and expand the scope of Spiritual Sense.

This single quality is something that many Pill Refiner crave.

Of course, Pill Recipe that can enhance the Divine Soul Foundation are extremely rare, and very few people are able to utilize them.

The monks also craved this item because of another simple and direct effect.

Foundation Establishment True Fire produces a spiritual fragrance that can quickly repair Divine Avatar.

The name "Warm Sun Gentle Fragrance " originates from the latter.

This knowledge isn't exactly secret, so many people know it.

Therefore, regardless of whether they have any spiritual injuries or not, people will buy a copy as a backup if they come across it.

"I used the Heart Questioning Mirror to simulate the future, which caused my spirit and soul to be excessively depleted."

"Even with the help of the Spirit Communication Pill, it will still take at least several months to recover slowly."

"If there is Warm Sun Gentle Fragrance aroma to nourish my spirit, it will surely help me recover quickly!"

Luo Chen was determined to bid for this treasure.

The bidding atmosphere wasn't particularly enthusiastic.

But prices continued to rise, even without the Heartless Immortal stirring things up.

Luo Chen was involved throughout, but he did not use any risky auction tactics.

That was all the bidding they offered.

Five thousand!

Six thousand!

When the price reached 6,800, many Foundation Establishment True Cultivator chose to give up.

Spending too many Spirit Stone to find alternatives is not worthwhile.

Only two parties remain in the competition.

When Luo Chen bid 7,500 Spirit Stone, the person competing with him wisely chose not to bid anymore.

It's clear that Luo Chen is determined to win.

He himself already has something he's determined to acquire, so there's no need to waste money on resources that aren't urgently needed.

"Congratulations to the Luo Tian Association for winning this bid."

"Next up for auction is a rare spiritual material..."

Upon hearing the name Luo Tian Association, Luo Chen frowned, but then dismissed it.

Auctions organized by major sects specializing in the Golden Core Great Sect cultivation generally involve the public disclosure of information about both the bidding parties.

There are many benefits to it.

If you encounter someone who is wealthy and powerful, you can avoid unnecessary excessive bidding and prevent damaging relationships.

Furthermore, everyone knows who got hold of the resources that were auctioned off.

This also makes it easier for some people to make concessions and conduct secondary transactions.

As for the auction not being very lively and prices not reaching their maximum, will some profits be lost?

This is beyond the scope of consideration for major sects.

They don't care about such petty gains!

Ultimately, what they want is this harmonious business atmosphere.

What we need is this stable business model for sustainable development.

You can't hold an auction and have a bunch of people fighting tooth and nail, and then secretly killing and robbing each other, in a never-ending cycle!

If this continues, who among the weaker would dare to participate in the Immortal City Auction?

Making the information public is a good way to prevent such incidents from happening.

Even if there are Robber Cultivator who secretly intend to commit murder and plunder, they are likely to be blacklisted by the Immortal City after the incident is discovered.

One precious item after another appeared at the auction.

Luo Chen also calmly made his moves several times.

A set of Tier 3 ore cost 12,000 Spirit Stone. This item is another main material needed for the embryonic form of Duan Feng's Duan Feng Magic Treasure Embryo.

In addition, there was the Profound Dark Water Luo Chen had previously found at a street stall.

Once Duan Feng returns, he can begin to complete the task.

That Tier 2 Body Tempering Cultivation Method also appeared.

The starting bid isn't expensive, only five thousand Spirit Stone.

Few people participated in the bidding, after all, it was just a declining path of Body Tempering.

However, one of them persisted in bidding against Luo Chen.

The price has been rising steadily, and it has already reached eight thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stone.

"It's Lu Rong from the Divine Craftsmen Sect." Duan Feng frowned.

Sima Hui Niang said worriedly, "Because of many minor incidents in the past, the relationship between the Divine Craftsmen Sect and my Luo Tian Association has never been harmonious. Chairman, should we abandon this Body Tempering Cultivation Method to avoid making too deep an enemy?"

Too deep a grudge?

Luo Chen smirked.

He had never intentionally offended the other party, so it wouldn't be his fault if he held a grudge over such a trivial matter.

Moreover!

Luo Chen glanced at Wang Yuan, who seemed quite interested, out of the corner of his eye, and said calmly:

" Lu Rong also cultivates Body Tempering, which is common knowledge in the Immortal City."

" Body Tempering Cultivation Method that even he finds appealing, even if it's only at the Tier 2, must have some merit."

"Such a treasure naturally belongs to the wealthy!"

As he spoke, he decisively shouted out an extremely high price.

"Ten thousand!"

It jumped directly from eight thousand to ten thousand.

There weren't many people filming him to begin with, and now, he's completely ignored.

The Heartless Immortal glanced at the private room where Luo Chen was and said indifferently, " For the Qi Body Source Unification Method, Luo Tian Association bid ten thousand, once!"

The seat where Divine Craftsmen Sect is located.

They didn't have a private room and could only sit in the main hall, which shows that their status in the Immortal City was indeed not high.

Luo Tian Association only got a secluded little private room because of his cooperation with Tantai Jin.

Lu Rong's face was extremely gloomy.

Ten thousand Spirit Stone —it's not a lot, but it's not a small amount either.

Their Divine Craftsmen Sect has never been very efficient at earning Spirit Stone, so he gets even less of it.

Normally, just renting a cave dwelling costs a thousand yuan every month.

At yesterday's auction, he purchased many more elixirs needed for cultivation.

Therefore, he is now a little short of money.

Her pleading gaze fell on the man beside her.

"Sect Master, could you lend me...?"

The sect leader of the Divine Craftsmen Sect Fei Qingqiu, looked displeased. "We cultivators Qi Refining Qi Refining separately from Body Tempering, but you always like to conflate the two. With your meager Body Tempering, do you really think you can Core Formation Stage in this lifetime?"

"But..."

"No buts, if you want to buy it, then buy it. Lending Spirit Stone is out of the question."

Seeing that Lu Rong was still unwilling to give up, he tried to make an offer.

Fei Changqiu cautioned, "Don't blame me for not warning you beforehand if you offer an exorbitant price and then can't come up with the Spirit Stone."

Lu Rong clenched his fist instantly.

He glared hatefully at the private room where Luo Tian Association was, and finally withdrew from the auction.

As the host, the Heartless Immortal, announced, "Ten thousand Spirit Stone for the third time!"

The Tier 2 Body Tempering Cultivation Method, titled " Qi Body Source Unification," thus fell into Luo Chen's hands.

Inside the private room.

Wang Yuan smiled.

" Luo Chen, I'll give you the Spirit Stone now!"

Luo Chen waved his hand.

Why are we talking about this?

"I'll just borrow it to study a bit when the time comes."

Wang Yuan smiled and stopped talking about replenishing Spirit Stone.

Watching this scene unfold, Kang Xian Qiong felt utterly out of place.

She became somewhat curious about Luo Chen's relationship with these people.

Sima Hui Niang -Foundation Establishment Pill.

To bid on mineral materials for Duan Feng.

Bidding for Body Tempering Cultivation Method on behalf of Wang Yuan.

That's incredibly generous!

"Perhaps this is why so many people are willing to follow him!"

The auction continued.

The further along the journey, the more precious the items become.

Luo Chen also made his moves more frequently.

However, success is not guaranteed every time.

For example, he particularly wanted to bid on a large-scale Second-Order Spirit Gathering Array.

If this arrangement were placed on Danxia Peak, its spiritual energy concentration would undoubtedly be elevated to a higher level.

Body Cultivator of the Luo Tian Association will benefit.

However, there were many bidders for this Spirit Gathering Array, with five Cultivation Family practically risking everything in the bidding.

Luo Chen quit halfway through.

Finally, Zheng Kejian of Rolling Dragon Ridge successfully bid for the item for 28,000 Spirit Stone.

This price is almost enough to buy a Low-Grade Magic Treasure with ordinary offensive capabilities.

Only the Zheng Family, being Aristocratic Family alchemists and possessing immense wealth, was able to successfully acquire it.

Shaking his head, Luo Chen turned his attention to the next items to be auctioned.

" Ice Silkworm Futon, Top-Grade Magic Tool!"

"This is a specialty of my Ice Fortress, made from the silk spun by ice silkworms from the Great Snow Mountain. It is an auxiliary cultivation Magic Tool."

"During cultivation, if one has the assistance of this futon, it can keep the cultivator's mind clear and undisturbed, even if the sky were to collapse..."

"Starting bid: 5,000 Spirit Stone!"

Upon hearing about the wondrous uses of the Ice Silkworm Futon from the Heartless Immortal, Luo Chen was intrigued!

Auxiliary magical Magic Tool for spiritual practice are extremely rare.

The Ghost God Heart Questioning Mirror" in his possession is such a treasure.

Such treasures may enhance cultivation efficiency, shield against external interference, or provide special enhancements to certain secret techniques.

This Ice Silkworm Futon clearly has the miraculous effect of clearing the mind and suppressing the birth of Heart Demon.

"Throughout my journey, I have been remarkably courageous and diligent, never stopping."

"Although I believe I have laid a solid foundation at each stage, the time I have spent cultivating is still too short... It's alright in the short term, but if this continues, it is very likely that I will suffer from Go Astray."

Regarding my own situation.

In the past, Luo Chen wouldn't have been able to see it very clearly.

But after the Heart Questioning Mirror simulation, he gained a very clear understanding.

If you want to move quickly and steadily, you must consider all aspects.

and!

"Ever since the simulation of the Ghost God Heart Questioning Mirror, my thoughts have been uncontrollably wandering and my emotions have been fluctuating wildly. This state is not conducive to cultivation."

"With this treasure by my side, I might be able to avoid a lot of trouble!"

Luo Chen's main targets at this auction were the Warm Sun Gentle Fragrance and Tier 3 Healing Pill.

The former can repair his exhausted soul in the simulation.

The latter, however, was a promise made to Kang Xian Qiong.

This Ice Silkworm Futon was not among the special treasures listed on the invitation.

Perhaps the Ice Fortress was put up for auction at the last minute.

Without hesitation, Luo Chen quickly joined the bidding.

Finally, after paying the exorbitant price of nine thousand Spirit Stone, they successfully won the bid!

After he won the Ice Silkworm Futon, many Foundation Establishment True Cultivator in the arena began to take him seriously.

If you do the math, Luo Chen has made quite a few bids since the auction started.

And in most cases, the bids were successful!

This not only demonstrates his unique auction skills, but also highlights his immense wealth.

In that case, if he sets his sights on any of the treasures that follow, he'll likely have to pay a heavy price!

Many cultivators with limited resources are already praying that such a scene will not occur.

The words of the Heartless Immortal rang out again, faintly.

"One unrefined Sword Pellet, produced by the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect."

Those interested may participate in the auction.

"Starting bid: 10,000 Spirit Stone!"

After the information about the items to be auctioned was announced, an eerie silence fell over the auction hall.

Sword Pellet!

This is a unique weapon of the Sword Sect in the Jade Cauldron Domain.

Moreover, some leaks may occur occasionally, but there is never any production!

But now it's being openly auctioned off by the Ice Fortress cultivators?

Of course, it's also possible that it's being consigned by someone else.

But how could Ice Fortress agree?

Could it be...?

Some sect cultivators, as well as Foundation Establishment True Cultivator from sect vassal forces, were starting to think about things in a deeper direction.

Despite their thoughts, their enthusiasm for bidding was just as high!

After all, the Sword Pellet is a well-known Magic Treasure Embryo.

It can be nurtured during the foundation-building stage and used as a superior or even Top-Grade Magic Tool.

If Core Formation Stage core, this treasure may even become Natal Magic Treasure.

As we all know, Magic Treasure also vary in quality!

Aside from their grade and type, magic weapons are also divided into Ordinary Magic Treasure and Natal Magic Treasure.

The former, anyone with Spirit Stone and the opportunity can get one or two pieces.

Even Foundation Establishment True Cultivator can unleash some of its power.

But the latter is completely different!

The one whose destiny is intertwined with life and death, and involves the path of the Great Dao.

From the very beginning, it was designed specifically for cultivators, and its grade can be upgraded.

As long as a cultivator continues to cultivate, their Natal Magic Treasure can be used until the Nascent Soul Stage Spirit Transformation Stage, or even after ascension.

Ascension is too far off; let's not think about it for now.

Within the Golden Core Stage stage alone, the power of Natal Magic Treasure is often greater than that of Ordinary Magic Treasure of the same level.

After all, it was tailor-made for the cultivator himself, and he put a lot of effort into nurturing it.

Not only can it be used like an extension of one's own arm, but it can also perfectly bring out the cultivator's skills, and there is never any sense of awkwardness in its use.

"An unrefined Sword Pellet?"

Luo Chen's eyes lit up.

He didn't actually want to switch to Sword Dao.

Instead, he remembered the Gray Sword Sheath in his Storage Bag.

That's a Magic Treasure Embryo, and it also has the potential to grow.

It was initially just Low-Grade Magic Tool, but after adding a Sword Pellet, it jumped to the mid-grade.

If more Sword Pellet are added, to what level will the grade be raised?

It's important to know that the scabbard doesn't require time to nurture, and its activation method is extremely simple.

He participated in the bidding.

only!

As the price soared to 30,000 Spirit Stone, he decisively gave up.

"The premium is too high!"

"This price is too low for me."

"Besides, if we buy it, we'll have to worry about the Jade Cauldron Sword Cultivators causing trouble, so let's not insist on it."

As he withdrew, the cultivators from the Shaohua Mountain Yue Family, who were the main bidders, cast a grateful glance at him.

Luo Chen smiled and nodded.

Everything is understood without words.

The Shaohua Mountain Yue Family is a Cultivation Family who excel in Sword Dao.

Although they don't primarily focus on Sword Pellet, the Sword Scripture they mainly cultivate makes them far superior to ordinary cultivators in the art of sword control.

The other party was determined to obtain this Sword Pellet, hoping to increase the strength of their clan's cultivators.

Luo Chen's previous ostentatious display of wealth was truly worrying.

By giving up now, he's essentially doing the Yue family cultivators a favor.

After he withdrew early, the other remaining force, unlike the Yue family, was not determined to win and quickly gave up as well.

Thus, this brand-new Sword Pellet became the property of the Yue family.

"Next up for auction are one hundred bottles of Mid-Grade Harmony Qi Pill refined by the Medicine King Sect, to be auctioned in ten separate sessions of ten bottles each."

"Starting bid: 10,000 Spirit Stone!"

The Heartless Immortal had barely finished speaking.

In that instant.

Luo Chen held his breath!

He was determined to get this, and the more the better!
