Nourishing Body Art Acquired, Robber Cultivator Disturbance

"This technique is an unranked Body Refinement method, starting bid is one hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones, with each increment not less than five Low-Grade Spirit Stones."

"One hundred and five Low-Grade Spirit Stones..."

Despite Yan Ruhai stating that this technique was difficult to cultivate, it was still sought after by many cultivators.

Not only could they cultivate it themselves, but this technique didn't restrict immortal cultivation levels, making it excellent to buy for ordinary family members within their clans.

In the blink of an eye, the price reached over two hundred Spirit Stones.

"Three hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones."

Wei Zhong finally started bidding.

"Are there any other Fellow Daoists raising the price? Three hundred Spirit Stones once, three hundred Spirit Stones twice... three times, sold."

Wei Zhong breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, no fool competed with him, and he successfully obtained this technique. Three hundred Spirit Stones, hopefully it will give him a pleasant surprise.

The following auction items were various rare and exotic objects, including many spiritual materials that Wei Zhong didn't recognize.

Wei Zhong had no intention of bidding.

"Finally, the highlight of this Auction, three First-Order Life Extending Pills, which can extend the Lifespan of Qi Refining cultivators by five years, Foundation Establishment cultivators by three years, and are ineffective for Core Formation Cultivators. The starting price for the first pill is three hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones, with each increment not less than ten Low-Grade Spirit Stones."

As the hammer in Yan Ruhai's hand fell, the auction officially began.

Wei Zhong also witnessed the most lively auction feast.

"Three hundred and fifty Spirit Stones..."

"Four hundred Spirit Stones..."

Whether they were rogue cultivators or family cultivators, they were all going crazy for this Life Extending Pill.

In the blink of an eye, the price increased to eight hundred Spirit Stones, and the Li Family in the aerial pavilion acquired it.

The next two pills reached prices of nine hundred Spirit Stones and one thousand one hundred Spirit Stones respectively, and were acquired by the Chen Family and that Foundation Establishment Cultivator Wang.

It seems that this type of Life Extending Pill is much more precious than I imagined. Although I have the strength to win one, I still have the means to extend my life by downgrading my cultivation, so it's better not to show off.

"This Auction is now over, welcome everyone to come again. Fellow Daoists who have successfully bid for items can come to me to collect them, and the rest of the Fellow Daoists can leave in an orderly manner."

Seeing that the last Life Extending Pill was auctioned off, Yan Ruhai also announced the successful conclusion of this Auction.

Wei Zhong went to collect the Nourishing Body Art, and instead of flying towards his Spirit Field after leaving the auction venue, he went to the Yan Family Market.

This Market was a place for Yan Family Spirit Farmers and Yan Family disciples to trade, located in the internal area of the Yan Family, not as marginal as the Spirit Field and temporary markets.

With the Yan Family's Enforcement Team patrolling, fighting was strictly prohibited.

After obtaining the items, he still had to go here to avoid any disturbances. Even if he wasn't robbed by Robber Cultivators, preventing blood from splattering on himself was also excellent.

Wei Zhong carried all his belongings with him this time. It didn't matter if that little Spirit Field was destroyed, he could just plant it again. He had decades of experience in planting fields.

He also had to take a look at the Beast Taming Method... he almost forgot about Nine Colors.

Sigh, I guess not many people would be interested in a mixed-blood Spirit Beast. May it seek its own fortune.

If it survives afterward, I'll reward it with some Spirit Rice.

As Wei Zhong had expected, after the Auction ended, many cultivators were robbed by mysterious Robber Cultivators.

They came in groups of three or two, mostly led by high-level Qi Refining cultivators. Ordinary rogue cultivators were no match for them at all.

"This is Yan Family territory, how dare you act here?"

The Wolf-Masked Cultivator looked at the surrounding Wheat Fields, then focused his gaze on the rogue cultivator's Magic Robe.

"Hehe, I naturally can't afford to offend the Yan Family, but with your strength, I'm afraid you won't last until the Yan Family Enforcement Team arrives."

The rogue cultivator's expression changed:

"Wait, I'll offer my Storage Bag, can you spare my life?"

"Too late."

The Wolf-Masked Cultivator waved his right hand, and the other Robber Cultivators behind him immediately activated the Magical Artifacts in their hands and attacked the rogue cultivator.

"Ah! I'll fight you!"

Similar scenes were constantly playing out in various places around the Yan Family.

At this moment, the Yan Family Enforcement Team, which was responsible for the Yan Family's security, was shrinking back in the internal area of the Yan Family, turning a blind eye to the outside turmoil.

This was the Yan Family's tradition. Each Yan Family Auction attracted so many rogue cultivators, how could a small Yan Family compete with so many Robber Cultivators?

Since you have the strength to bid for Spirit Items, you must also have the strength to protect them.

At this moment, Wei Zhong, after purchasing the Beast Taming Method, went to the most famous Spring Breeze Pavilion of the Yan Family.

Spring Breeze Pavilion, the most popular industry of the Yan Family, offers both carnal and vegetarian services. You can either listen to courtesans or get a foot massage.

"Ouch, easy, easy, are you trying to tear apart my old bones..."

The night passed without incident. The next day, just before dawn, Wei Zhong left the Spring Breeze Pavilion. The turmoil of this Auction was probably over. To be on the safe side, he decided to go to Yan Wenbo to get some information.

"Oh, Brother Wei is here."

"Brother Yan, this is the Yellow Spirit Sprout I just bought..."

"Oh dear, Brother Wei, you shouldn't have brought any gifts."

Wei Zhong smiled and put down the tea leaves in his hand. Yan Wenbo took them, and the two began to drink tea around the tea table.

"I also want to inquire with Brother Yan about the misfortune last night."

Hearing this, Yan Wenbo gently put down his teacup and sighed slightly.

"Could it be that something bad happened?"

Wei Zhong asked.

Yan Wenbo nodded:

"Just as Brother Wei said. There are always Robber Cultivators, but this time is a bit different."

"Oh?"

Wei Zhong looked surprised, but fortunately, he was steady and hid in the Yan Family's territory.

Yan Wenbo poured himself another cup of tea and continued:

"After this Auction ended, many cultivators were attacked by Robber Cultivators. The various Robber Cultivator groups can be said to have surrounded the Yan Family, and the scale is far greater than before. Not only are there many small groups led by high-level Qi Refining cultivators, but also Foundation Establishment cultivators have appeared."

"Tsk!"

Wei Zhong gasped.

"Coincidentally, this time the Foundation Establishment Robber Cultivator came for that Steward Wang from the Azurewood Sect. The Evil Arts he cultivated are profound. Before my Yan Family could provide support, he defeated and seriously injured him. Steward Wang fled and disappeared, and his disciples were turned into blood and bones on the spot by that evil cultivator."

Speaking of this, Yan Wenbo looked at Wei Zhong strangely. The Second-Order Foundation Replenishing Pill dispute in the Market was not a secret.

Wei Zhong coughed lightly and asked:

"Will this matter affect the Yan Family?"

"I don't know. How can a small Qi Refining cultivator like me figure out the attitude of the upper sect? But even if we are questioned, my Yan Family at least tried to rescue him, but that evil cultivator's magic power was too strong, and we couldn't rescue him in time. No matter what, they won't over-blame my Yan Family."

"Brother Wei can rest assured, it won't affect you."

Hearing this, Wei Zhong was relieved.

"Thank you, Brother Yan, then I will take my leave."

"Brother Wei, won't you stay a little longer?"

"No, I'm worried about the Spirit Field at home, so I have to go back and check the situation."

Wei Zhong cupped his hands and left.
