Zhang Ruihao's idea is very simple. Since Xiao Chen can borrow money from the Liu Family, he can also borrow money.

Yuyu Merchant Guild brought a lot of Spirit Stone this time.

Yan Hui is willing to do this deal, but he has two conditions.

First, the Spirit Stone needs to be repaid within ten years, and the interest will be doubled every time it is overdue.

Second, no matter when Zhang Ruihao repays the money, even if the auction fails and the money is returned on the spot, Yuyu Merchant Guild will charge 20% interest.

What does taking advantage of the situation mean?

This is taking advantage of the situation.

Zhang Ruihao looked grim, but still signed the contract and borrowed 40,000 yuan Spirit Stone.

Returning to the third floor, he gave Xiao Chen a sharp look again. "I'll pay 90,000!"

In the blink of an eye, the price of Wind Thunder Pair Swords soared by another 20,000 Spirit Stone.

The casual cultivators were still watching the excitement happily.

But some people have begun to feel something is wrong.

For example, Azure Flame Sect Master Cheng Qihong, I looked at Wind Thunder Pair Swords standing on the tray again.

Xiao Chen No matter how high the price is, he can understand it as an impulsive choice made for the sake of face due to the conflict between young people.

But Zhang Ruihao would rather borrow money and shout out such a high price, it must not be just to vent his anger.

This set of swords is definitely not as simple as the ordinary Top-Grade Magical Artifact.

But for a while, he couldn't figure out what the mystery was.

Other smart people have also tried their best, but sometimes, just thinking is useless.

At this price, even if you want to make a horizontal move, you still need to have enough Spirit Stone.

Moreover, even if there is indeed some kind of fortuitous opportunity in Wind Thunder Pair Swords, it may only have an effect on Zhang Ruihao and Xiao Chen.

After a brief exchange of glances, several people finally chose to sit back and watch.

"Tsk tsk tsk."

Xiao Chen listened to Zhang Ruihao's quotation and pretended to be scared. "It's scary to add so much money at one time."

"I'll add Spirit Stone, and I'll pay 90,010."

Auctioneer reminded, "Ahem, Daoist Xiao, the price of this lot will be increased by at least one thousand Spirit Stone."

Xiao Chen corrected with a smile, "That's right, then remove that zero and I'll pay you 91,000."

"Crack!"

Zhang Ruihao slapped the table and stood up. "What do you mean."

Xiao Chen deliberately stuck with the lowest price, which is obviously a humiliation.

In fact, this situation of being stuck with the lowest bid has only occurred once before this auction.

That means Zhang Ruihao deliberately raised the price of Five-Colored Golden Lotus.

Now Xiao Chen is using the Way of Man to treat the other person's body. The targeted meaning should not be too obvious.

Seeing Xiao Chen with a smile on his face, he didn't reply.

Zhang Ruihao, realizing that he had lost his temper, sat down angrily. "I'll pay 93,000."

"Ninety-four thousand."

Xiao Chen's voice followed closely behind, still only a thousand.

"You are ninety-six thousand."

"I'll add a thousand."

"I'll give you 100,000!"

"One thousand more."

Xiao Chen's tone is casual, and his voice is lazily and carelessly.

Zhang Ruihao felt that the air around him had become thicker, making him uncontrollably irritable.

Even including Yuyu Merchant Guild's loan, he only had one hundred and seventeen thousand Spirit Stone in hand.

But looking at Xiao Chen's relaxed and carefree appearance, it doesn't look like he has reached his limit at all.

Zhang Ruihao wanted to draw his sword on the spot and chop Xiao Chen into two pieces cleanly.

But this is Ascension Ceremony from Bright Moon True Person, and he doesn't have the guts to cause trouble.

I can only be like a gambler, roaring and betting all my chips, "I will offer you one hundred and seventy thousand yuan Spirit Stone!"

Coming, coming.

Everyone realized that this should be all Spirit Stone in Zhang Ruihao's hands.

They looked at Xiao Chen and saw him say three words in a calm tone again, "Add one thousand."

Auctioneer's face has turned red. "Daoist Xiao, what do you mean, you are offering one hundred and eight thousand Spirit Stone, right?"

Seeing Xiao Chen nodding, he immediately shouted excitedly, "Daoist Xiao is offering one hundred and eighty thousand Spirit Stone, is there any higher price?"

"Spirit Stone First time in a hundred and eighty thousand!"

"A hundred and eighty thousand Spirit Stone for the second time!!"

"One Hundred and Eight Thousand Spirit Stone Third time, deal done!!!"

When I thought that the commission for this auction was already huge, Auctioneer's voice couldn't help but get louder.

He called out the price three times with almost no interval, but at this time, these details were irrelevant.

A long line of maids came to Xiao Chen with trays in their hands.

Except for Zhang Ruihao who bowed his head silently, even the other monks RuiBao Merchant Guild were looking in the direction where he was sitting.

Under the light of Everlasting Lamp, plate after plate of bright Spirit Stone was taken away.

The Storage Bag in Xiao Chen's hand seems to contain countless Spirit Stone.

After a total of twenty-two maids passed by, everyone started to discuss with unfinished thoughts.

"Since I can remember, I have never heard of Law Artifact worth more than one hundred thousand Spirit Stone."

"What's more, there has never been such an expensive thing in thousands of years. It's really rich."

"I'm not afraid of fellow Daoists laughing at me. The most Spirit Stone I have is less than 8,000, which is not even a fraction of other people's."

"Today's grand event is really not in vain. In the next few decades or hundreds of years, it is estimated that it will be difficult to have such a grand event as today."

Auctioneer personally held Wind Thunder Pair Swords and delivered it to Xiao Chen.

Together with the jade trough and tray below, they were given to him.

At the same time, he secretly apologized to Xiao Chen.

Before, he thought Xiao Chen violent bidding was a bidding strategy.

Later, because no one bid for Five-Colored Golden Lotus, he was worried about the commission and secretly cursed Xiao Chen.

It turned out that he had misunderstood, and he was judging a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart. This is not a bullshit tactic at all, he is really capable.

Old Master Cheng felt the same way at this time.

He had seen Xiao Chen spend so much Spirit Stone to bid for Six Harmonies Divine Water, so he thought he was a prodigal.

This is so sloppy.

It seems that there is no need to ask. There is absolutely no such powerful Xiao Family among the Li Fire Sect. This is entirely Xiao Chen's own strength. He is just old and confused.

Old Master Cheng couldn't help but sigh, "It's really Yangtze River that the waves behind push the waves ahead."

Tian Jianning was also sighing, but his words were meant for his tribe. "I knew a long time ago that I couldn't win by bidding with Daoist Xiao."

The clan members said before that he gave in at Crushed Stone Valley, but now it seems that there is no problem at all for him to give in.

RuiBao Merchant Guild I will demonstrate it this time and see what the result will be if the fight continues.

The events in front of us have conversely proved that Tian Jianning's original judgment was correct.

The monk Tian Family who came with him was also convinced at this time. "Jianning, you are more stable as expected. It is right not to argue with Daoist Xiao, otherwise I am afraid that you will become enemies."

Tian Family is glad to have avoided any grievances with Xiao Chen.

But Jiang Family, anyone who knows about it cannot laugh.

Jiang Changhua is now puzzled: How can Xiao Chen allow Liu Family and Chen Family to lend out so many Spirit Stone?

Chen Family and Xiao Chen have always been close, this is no secret.

But what happened to the Liu Family?

What did they know about the situation to make such a decision?

Jiang Changhua felt a little flustered in his heart.

He couldn't help but think of Blackwind Wanderer, who suddenly lost contact last year.

It was originally promised that Blackwind Wanderer would help kill Xiao Chen, but then the other party suddenly lost contact, and Ascension Ceremony did not show up this time.

He originally thought that the other party had broken the contract. After all, some casual cultivators were indeed not that reliable.

But now it seems that, like Hundred Poisons Devil, Xiao Chen was killed by Xiao Chen, right?

Thinking of this, Jiang Changhua only felt that he was in big trouble.

Xiao Chen is actually Killing Star.

If this continues, when the other party gains strength, they will definitely join forces with the Chen Family to retaliate against the Jiang Family.

But the other party has Foundation Establishment and previously refused to reconcile with the Jiang Family. What should they do now?

Jiang Changhua feels that it is no longer easy to rely on the Jiang Family alone. It is best to seek external help.

"Xiao Chen now works for the Demon Subduing Hall. Is there any way for the Divine Fire Sect to solve his problem?"

He thought that in order not to involve Jiang Family, it would be best to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

Lu Wuqiang doesn't have such worries as Jiang Family. Instead, he seems to have seen a fat sheep now.

Xiao Chen is a new Foundation Establishment, and has such a good Law Artifact.

That's like a child holding gold.

Once he can capture Xiao Chen, these swords, those spiritual objects, and even the unknown number of Spirit Stone left in Storage Bag will all become his.

Lu Wuqiang I wish for one thing right now.

That is, Xiao Chen should not be like a turtle, hiding in the Li Fire Sect for three to five years and not coming out.

As long as the other party dares to go out, it will be a good opportunity for him to take action.

A single transaction like this would be enough for him to live well for the next few decades.

On the other side, Yun Jingxing guessed the identity of Xiao Chen: "It seems that Xiao Chen must be a genius Alchemist trained by the Chen Family!"

In this way, all questions can be explained.

Why can Xiao Chen get the full support of the Liu Family and Chen Family and boldly lend so many Spirit Stone?

Because Chen Family is in charge of Dao of Alchemy and Liu Family is in charge of spirit medicine, they must have known the identity of Xiao Chen genius Alchemist.

A top Alchemist can bring countless benefits. Naturally, there is no need to worry about Xiao Chen not being able to afford Spirit Stone.

Why did Xiao Chen purchase Spirit Herb and Spirit Liquid several times at the auction?

Because there are only these Top-grade Spiritual Item, precious materials that Liu Family cannot supply.

Why is Xiao Chen's Spirit Root not so good, but its breakthrough speed is so fast?

Because he can forcefully break through the realm by taking drugs.

Yun Jingxing can now conclude that Xiao Chen must have taken a lot of pills along the way, and swallowed a large amount of heavenly materials and earthly treasures to help him reach the realm.

Such a simple pursuit of a higher realm is equivalent to actively giving up the future Dao Path.

But if you are a genius Alchemist, you can indeed use this to improve your cultivation regardless of the cost.

It is also a good choice to break through Foundation Establishment Late Stage as quickly as possible, then give up cultivation completely, and study Pill Dao wholeheartedly from then on.

Yun Jingxing looked at Xiao Chen and boldly speculated. "I suspect that he is even Second-Order Alchemist."

"If nothing else, he probably bought the Five-Colored Golden Lotus for himself."

Yun Ruoyan raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

After thinking about it for a while, I found that this possibility is indeed very high.

Yun Jingxing joked, "How about a genius Alchemist, can he be my son-in-law?"

Yun Ruoyan thought about it seriously, "If there is no better choice in the future, it's not impossible."

Although she likes Golden Core cultivator, it is really too difficult.

On the contrary, a Alchemy Grandmaster can provide a large number of Spirit Stone to help her practice. As a backup, it is an excellent choice.

Yun Jingxing frowned slightly, such a young Second-Order Alchemist is already one of the best among his peers.

In this generation, it is hard to find a better choice than Xiao Chen.

But considering that I have a daughter in my old age, and she is such an only child, I should get used to it a little bit.

With the conditions of the Yun Family, it will never be difficult for her to find a Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

As the auction officially ends.

The results of the auction were immediately reported to the top floor.

"Report True Person, this auction has ended, the highest bid is one hundred and eight thousand yuan Spirit Stone."

Hearing the report from the shopkeeper Thousand Bamboo Pavilion, Bright Moon True Person was obviously a little surprised. "Oh, is it so high?"

After all, he had just broken through Golden Core, and was most deeply impressed by Spirit Stone, which reached 100,000.

Although the other Golden Core True Person have experienced big scenes, they are still a little surprised.

Jade Sand True Person asked curiously, "I wonder what it is that is sold so expensively?"

The shopkeeper replied respectfully, "Reply to True Person, it's a set of Top-Grade Magical Artifact, a total of two Wind Thunder Pair Swords made by East Flower Wood."

Jade Sand True Person was really surprised now. "It's just Top-Grade Magical Artifact? You can buy a Spirit Artifact at this price."

Jade Bloom True Person suddenly heard the mystery. "Wind Thunder Wood Attribute, this may be an opportunity for Golden Core."

"I deliberately spent such a high price to buy a pair of wooden swords from the same origin. Could it be that I want to use the wind and thunder to understand Way of Yin and Yang and make Ninth-Grade pure wood Golden Core?"

"Then the buyer is Wood Spiritual Root?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly sent someone down to inquire about it, and then responded, "Return to True Person. The buyer is Xiao Chen from the Li Fire Sect. I heard it is Wood Spiritual Root."

Jade Bloom True Person showed a genuine smile.

Then he looked at Bright Flame True Person: "Then it seems that this Xiao Chen should be the Golden Core Seedling cultivated by Bright Flame Fellow Daoist."

The rest True Person was also immediately clear.

They just said, how can a Foundation Establishment Cultivator that they have never heard of be able to afford so many Spirit Stone? That's what happened.

Only Bright Flame True Person is a little confused at the moment.

Xiao Chen?

Golden Core Seedling?

This name did have some impression on him, but the Xiao Chen in his memory was just a disciple of 7th level of Qi Refining whom he had met the year before.

The people who came today are all Foundation Establishment. Could this be the same person?

Fortunately, Golden Core has an outstanding memory. As soon as he recalled it, he realized that he had indeed seen Xiao Chen in the Chen Family's team that morning.

That should be correct, it is him.

This process sounds complicated, but actually it only takes less than a breath of time.

Bright Flame True Person responded with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Yao Hua is exaggerating, it's not really Golden Core Seedling, it's just a little Spirit Awakening."

The so-called "slightly spiritual" is actually just like saying that someone is smart when you don't know how to praise someone. It is a purely polite way of saying something.

However, his words fell on the ears of the other True Person, as if he was being modest.

.

Although it was getting late, none of the monks at Three Great Sects chose to stay overnight, but collectively boarded Spirit Boat for the return journey.

Bright Flame True Person dealt with it casually before, but in his heart he had decided to call Xiao Chen to find out what happened.

Since breaking through Golden Core, he has almost never been involved in the affairs of the sect.

Therefore, on the way, he first called digital Elder to understand the situation.

Finally, he dismissed them and called Xiao Chen to his side.

There is only one cabin built on Spirit Boat, which is very spacious and not inferior to the Sect Hall on the ground.

As soon as they met, Bright Flame True Person asked straight to the point, "I remember, you were just Late-Stage Qi Refining the year before last. How did your cultivation improve so fast?"

Xiao Chen Hearing the question, he first bowed his hands and saluted.

Then he said the answer he had thought about for a long time, "True Person, the disciple is appreciated by Elder Chen, and I have some experience in practicing Pill Dao."

"After that fortuitous opportunity coincidence..."

In short, the reason why he cultivated quickly was attributed to the pills and those heavenly materials and earthly treasures he had eaten.

Bright Flame True Person nodded slightly. What Xiao Chen said was basically the same as what he had learned before.

Although this disciple's Spirit Root is indeed a bit poor, I heard that his understanding is quite good. Not to mention the Sudden Comprehension he had done several times before, he also practiced Law Technique very quickly.

In addition, I usually don't like to socialize and concentrate on practicing in the yard.

He belongs to the kind of good seedling who wholeheartedly pursues the truth.

With understanding, diligence, and a lot of spirit medicine, one can indeed achieve such a fast breakthrough speed.

What a pity.

Bright Flame True Person feels slightly sorry for Xiao Chen.

Low-grade Spirit Root Although the probability of forming an elixir is less than half, there is still a glimmer of hope if you practice steadily.

However, relying on elixirs to forcibly improve your realm will inevitably lead to a weak foundation.

Even if you can practice to Foundation Establishment Great Perfection early, you will only be stuck at Foundation Establishment your whole life in the future, with no possibility of taking a step forward.

At this moment, he also had an inference similar to Yun Jingxing in his mind.

That is, Xiao Chen is just Alchemist trained by the Chen Family, and will be transferred to Pill Dao in the future.

But he didn't need to guess, he could just ask, "You took the picture of Five-Colored Golden Lotus before, are you already refining the Foundation Establishment pill?"

Xiao Chen answered honestly, "Back to True Person, the disciple is indeed planning to refine the Foundation Establishment pill himself and sell it to earn Spirit Stone."

The guess was confirmed. Bright Flame True Person looked at Xiao Chen with a bit of disappointment in his eyes.

I thought there would be a surprise, but it seems there wasn't.

He was originally thinking that if there was a cultivation genius that he had missed before, he could consider focusing on cultivating it.

But now it seems that there is just one more Alchemist earning Spirit Stone.

It doesn't matter to Golden Core True Persons if there are more or less tools like this.

But that's okay, after all, if Xiao Chen becomes Alchemy Grandmaster in the future, there might be hope that he can also learn Third-Order Spirit Pill.

Bright Flame True Person finally gave some encouragement. "Alchemy is also very good, remember to ask Tian Yuan and the others for advice, and strive to be better than someone who is good at it."

"Okay, let's get to work first."

Xiao Chen was puzzled by what he heard, but he still resigned honestly. "Thank you True Person for your teachings, my disciples will definitely keep them in mind."

The whole journey was silent.

And as Foundation Establishment Cultivator from all over Li Province, they gradually returned to their original areas.

What happened to Ascension Ceremony this time quickly swept through the entire Li Province like a hurricane.

In addition to Bright Moon True Person being promoted to Golden Core, Xiao Chen's name was also spread in every street and alley, and was talked about by countless monks.

After hearing the astonishingly high price of one hundred and eight thousand Spirit Stone, the casual cultivators couldn't help but exclaim in envy.

"Li Fire Sect's disciples, are they so rich?"

"Damn it, I will never earn so much Spirit Stone in my ten lifetimes."

"Have you heard? This Xiao Chen seems to be still very young, less than thirty years old. Maybe he is the next Golden Core True Person."

However, as time went on, things changed, and various rumors and speculations arose.

"Such a young Foundation Establishment must be the son of some older Lineage."

"Tell me, how could he have so many Spirit Stone? Could he be the illegitimate son of some Golden Core True Person?"

"Because we are so familiar, let me tell you a top-secret news. Xiao Chen went to the mountains to collect herbs five years ago, accidentally entered Ancient Ruins, and picked up hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stone."

"Humph, it's all nonsense. My seventh aunt's friend's son's uncle is in the Li Fire Sect. He told me personally that Xiao Chen was just a cover-up for the big Lineage, so Law Artifact is no longer in his hands."

These rumors and so-called top secret information are getting more and more outrageous.

But the more outrageous something is, the more credible people find it.

Compared to Xiao Chen, so many Spirit Stone were obtained through normal means.

Many casual cultivators are more willing to believe that there are some intricate connections or unknown secrets here.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Xiao Chen for the time being, and he can't hear it.

After returning to the Li Fire Sect, he returned directly to Emerald Valley.

I immediately took out the Wind Thunder Pair Swords and placed it in front of my knees for observation.

After using Law Power to refine the counter sword, he discovered that this set of counter swords had another hidden characteristic.

A stream of Law Power is injected from his body into Wind Sword, and then flows into Thunder Sword, and a subtle transformation will occur.

The same goes for vice versa.

Although this feeling is very subtle and difficult to capture.

But Xiao Chen, as the owner of Law Artifact and Law Power, after many repeated tests, confirmed that this was not his illusion.

"Wind and thunder transform into each other? Is there such a thing?"

"No, is it because of East Flower Yin Yang Wood? It's actually the conversion of yin and yang?"

Xiao Chen is a bit of a surprise, and whatever the reason, it means additional opportunities.

Although he has no involvement in Way of Wind and Thunder or Way of Yin and Yang for the time being.

So for a while, other than feeling that this set of swords was unusual, I couldn't explain why.

But it doesn't matter. Now that you have the sword, you will have plenty of time to get familiar with it.

As time goes by, I always dig out the secrets hidden inside.

And even for now, with this set of swords, I finally have a real means of attack.

Before that, if you encounter an enemy with the best Defensive Magic Tool, you will definitely have to worry.

But now with Top-Grade Magical Artifact paired with <Seven Stars Swordplay>, plus two quick-cast Li Fire Thunder, I have the means to attack the enemy.

I dare not say that I am invincible within Foundation Establishment, at least I can say that I am hard to beat.

"Now that the devil is rampant, He Province is probably in a bad situation. It is always a good thing to have more ways to deal with the enemy."

Xiao Chen put away his sword and recalled what Ascension Ceremony had seen this time.

Everything else is easy to understand.

Only when Jade Bloom True Person came to Li Province this time, he was a little unsure of what the situation was, maybe it was a sign of some kind of danger.

Fortunately, this time I took the opportunity to take pictures of two top-notch Spirit Liquid.

The training resources for the next half year or so are already available.

"It's been a troubled time. I hope He Province can persist for a few more years and give me more time to grow."
