Chapter 40 The Essence of Yi Wood: The Liu Family!
Chen Chunan's goal was clear: he only wanted the essence of Yi Wood and would not get involved in anything else.
He has now reached the eleventh level of Qi Refining. According to the progress, he will be able to enter the twelfth level of Qi Refining in three months at the fastest and half a year at the slowest.
Even taking into account the time required for the spiritual energy to be refined through nine cycles, he will definitely be able to establish his foundation within two years at most.
Therefore, I am determined to obtain this essence of Yi Wood. If I miss it, I don't know how long it will take before I can establish my foundation.
Cultivating too quickly can also be a source of trouble.
The auction for the Foundation Building Pills didn't last long before the main items were auctioned.
This time, a new auctioneer with a youthful face and large breasts was hired.
His clothes were also lighter and thinner, which caused many cultivators below to whistle and cheer.
Seeing this, Chen Chunan secretly shook his head, and then used another burst of spiritual power to block Hongxian's ears to prevent her from hearing those foul words.
With her ears plugged, Hongxian stared blankly at her brother.
Chen Chunan could only respond with an apologetic smile.
Fortunately, the outspoken female auctioneer quickly regained control of the situation and steered the conversation back to the items being auctioned.
"Distinguished guests, the first item to be auctioned is the Essence of Wood!"
Wow~
The scene instantly erupted into chaos. Everyone knew that the auction item included the essence of Yi wood, but they hadn't expected it to arrive so soon.
Not only the Qi Refining cultivators on the first floor, but also the Foundation Establishment and Core Formation cultivators on the second and third floors, many people were very interested.
The essence of Yi Wood is the condensation of Yi Wood spiritual objects, which often manifest as certain spiritual herbs, flowers, or vines.
If it happens to be a spiritual herb that is already very valuable, then its value is probably even greater than that of a Golden Core cultivator.
Chen Chunan was also praying that it wouldn't be an outrageous Yi Wood Essence, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to afford it.
Soon, the auctioneer, Da Lei, untied the silk cloth from the Yi Wood Essence.
"This is a top-grade Yi Wood Essence, from a wild forest, a three-thousand-year-old Purple Cloud Ginseng! Starting price: 10000 low-grade spirit stones, each bid must increase by at least 100 low-grade spirit stones!"
Wow~
The scene instantly erupted in chaos.
Chen Chunan was both surprised and delighted.
Purple Cloud Ginseng?
Because of Lin Jing, I was lucky enough to have eaten Ziyun Ginseng, which is one of the main ingredients in the Foundation Establishment Pill!
It's a spiritual elixir that inherently increases the probability of successfully establishing one's foundation! Is there any other spiritual item made of the Wood element that's more suitable for foundation establishment than this Purple Cloud Ginseng?
The answer is—no!
I had previously discussed Foundation Establishment Breakthrough with Lin Jing, a member of a Golden Core family.
Chen Chunan was well aware of the value of Ziyun Ginseng. Generally speaking, a two-hundred-year-old Ziyun Ginseng is enough to refine Foundation Establishment Pills.
The price is about 1000 spirit stones per plant, which is not considered expensive.
However, a 3,000-year-old Ziyun ginseng, which is still made from the essence of Yi wood, has an immeasurable price.
Foundation building, foundation construction, forging the foundation of the Way.
Dao Foundation is also divided into three grades: low-grade Dao Foundation is no more than three feet and three inches high, and the highest upper limit is only Golden Core.
A person with a mid-grade Dao Foundation of six feet and six inches can enter the Transformation God realm.
A person with a superior Dao foundation who is nine feet and nine inches tall can achieve immortality!
Above the highest grade, there is the legendary Immortal Grade Dao Foundation, which has not appeared for thousands of years.
Existing literature only contains fragmentary records, and most of them are based on speculation.
Therefore, Chen Chunan was determined to obtain this essence of Yi Wood!
From the moment bidding can begin.
Bids poured in from all sides, and the auctioneer could barely keep up with the pace of the bidding.
However, these are all bidding in the main hall, and Chen Chunan knows that these people can only have a sense of participation for the time being.
If the yellow-plated VIP rooms were to participate, they simply wouldn't have the financial resources to compete with the price.
Moreover, even the Xuan-level VIP room might be tempted by such a perfect Foundation Establishment spiritual item!
The Golden Elixir also has descendants or successors~
Sure enough, in less than a quarter of an hour, some people in the Xuan-character private room couldn't resist anymore.
"Number 13 of the Xuan series offers 25000 spirit stones!"
The female auctioneer's voice was loud and excited: "VIP number thirteen (Xuan character) has bid 25000 spirit stones. Is there any higher bid?"
This silenced the crowd.
Chen Chunan was also stunned. Even if he pawned everything he owned, he could only scrape together about 25000 spirit stones.
The hall fell completely silent.
A sharp voice rang out from the Xuanzi Thirteen private room: "My young son is about to establish his foundation and truly needs this spiritual herb. Could you all please do me a favor?"
Mr. Lin?
The Lin family, a family of Golden Core sword cultivators?
"Fellow Daoist Lin, it's not that I'm not giving you face, but every family has a good-for-nothing disciple. I can only apologize and say that the Purple Cloud Ginseng will cost 26000 spirit stones!"
A slightly polite voice came from the Xuanzi No. 10 private room, causing the Lin family members to freeze for a moment before sitting down without saying a word.
"Number 10 of the Mysterious Character: 27000 spirit stones!"
"Number 8 of the Mysterious Character series: 28000 spirit stones!"
The Lin family's price was quickly drowned out by a series of offers.
Meanwhile, on the fifth floor, a woman in palace attire was observing the auction scene.
Seeing Chen Chunan slumped dejectedly on the cloud bed, she couldn't help but chuckle.
Qin Sheng, who was standing to the side, immediately lowered his head and pretended to be lost in thought.
But the woman quickly turned to Qin Sheng: "Qin Sheng, didn't you say you wanted to buy the essence of Yi Wood and the essence of Bing Fire?"
Qin Sheng immediately replied respectfully, "Yes, Miss. Eleven days ago, he went to the Treasure Pavilion on the second floor to post a reward."
The woman smiled. "Interesting. He needs both fire and wood elemental items. Could he have both fire and wood elemental roots? At 16, he already has the strength of the eleventh level of Qi Refining. Even if he has both elemental roots, that's quite fast. Qin Sheng, I'll give you a task: go and collect another piece of Yi Wood Essence to sell to him."
"Yes, Miss, I'll arrange it right away."
Because of the auctioneer's perverse sense of humor, Chen Chunan didn't even manage to bid once before feeling that his auction journey was about to end.
"30000 spirit stones for Pavilion No. 10 of the Mysterious Character! Any higher bids?"
"30000 spirit stones for the first time!"
"30000 spirit stones, second time! Is there really no more esteemed guest bidding? According to our alchemist's assessment, top-grade Yi Wood essence can increase the probability of forging a superior Dao foundation by 30%."
"Fairy Mu, please hurry up and drop the hammer. No one dares to disrespect me..."
"32000 spirit stones!"
An old, indifferent voice rang out.
The new offer appeared before Elder Sun could finish his boastful talk, like a slap in the face.
This quote seemed to have been deliberately made when he was smugly boasting, which was not only an immediate slap in the face, but a repeated one.
Even Chen Chunan, who was playing the game of snatching spirit fruits with Hongxian, couldn't help but look towards the source of the voice, wanting to know who was so disrespectful to the elders of the Lieyang Sect.
Elder Sun of the Lieyang Sect, the master of the Xuanzi No. 10 Pavilion, looked even more ashen than a pig's liver.
He never expected that someone would slap him in the face to his face. Didn't they know he was an elder of the Blazing Sun Sect or a fourth-grade alchemist?
Chen Chunan suddenly remembered that he seemed to have heard this voice somewhere before.
It seems to be that old dog, Liu Guisheng!
He wanted the essence of Yi Wood because he was in a hurry to fill the position of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
