Chapter 59: After a long and winding road, a new path opens up before you!
Can Qigong techniques be auctioned?
This was the first time Chen Fan had ever heard of such a good thing!
He spoke calmly and without showing any emotion:
"I wonder how I get into this auction..."
"Of course, Brother Wei," Old Li said with a smile.
"The auction isn't on this floor. Just take this token to the main entrance of the market. People there will ask you where you're going; just tell them you're going to the auction!"
Chen Fan was taken aback.
He seemed to hear many new things from Lao Li.
Curious, he asked in bewilderment:
"Old Li, there's something I don't understand. What does this part mean?"
Old Li smiled slightly upon hearing this.
I thought to myself, this old eunuch doesn't look like one of the Eight Kingdoms at all!
Otherwise, who among those who come here wouldn't know that the market is divided into different levels?
Not wanting to keep anyone in suspense, Old Li nodded and patiently explained:
"Brother Wei, it's obvious you're new here. You don't know this, but our market is divided into three levels."
The first level serves the strongest individuals from the eight kingdoms, as well as some independent cultivators. The second level serves the disciples and elders of the eight major sects. As for the third level, it serves the VIPs of the market. That's all I can tell you.
"Thanks, Lao Li." Chen Fan smiled, his eyes narrowed.
He was indeed completely ignorant about the market.
It's not surprising that Lao Li discovered he was a newcomer.
Afterwards, Chen Fan left Baicaotang and headed towards Fangshikou.
That place is in the opposite direction from the entrance he came from.
Not long after walking, a street lined with empty shops on both sides came into view.
At the end of the street stood a huge black wooden door.
"Where are you going, sir...?"
As Chen Fan approached this place.
From an inconspicuous basket on the side, a dwarf man with innate cultivation level crawled out.
Still half-asleep, he glanced at Chen Fan, pinched his nose, and said disdainfully:
"That smells awful...did you wet the bed?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Fan's face turned bright red!
Knowing where the pungent smell came from, he gritted his teeth and said:
"I'm going to...the auction..."
"Token!" the dwarf man said, pinching his nose.
Chen Fan didn't hesitate.
He casually took out the token that Lao Li had given him.
The dwarf man glanced at the token and quickly let them through.
"Just walk through that door...this smells awful!"
Hearing the dwarf man's mutterings behind him.
Chen Fan felt his face burning.
I was wondering why Old Li didn't smell it when we were at Baicaotang.
Could it be that the strong smell of the herbs masked the stench of urine?
Upon closer examination, Chen Fan seemed to realize something was amiss.
He even sprayed perfume on himself before leaving, but he never expected to embarrass himself here!
And losing face is nothing compared to having your identity exposed.
With a heart full of trepidation, Chen Fan walked step by step to the black portal.
Before he could even touch it, the door opened on its own.
What came into view was a pitch-black passage.
Unfazed by such sights, Chen Fan swallowed hard and then walked into the doorway.
The passageway was pitch black, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
Having no other option but to rely on feeling his way forward, Chen Fan gritted his teeth and continued walking.
After walking for about thirty breaths, light appeared ahead.
Chen Fan's eyes lit up, and he paused for a moment before speeding up.
Soon, he passed through the light.
Outside the light was a huge underground cavern.
Look around.
Inside the cave, figures lingered in front of the stone pillars.
In front of each stone pillar stood a woman with an exquisite face and a hot figure, dressed as a maid.
With smiles on their faces, they remained motionless, like puppets.
They seemed to be holding some kind of brand or similar object in their hands.
Because they were too far apart, Chen Fan squinted but still couldn't see clearly.
Feeling something was new, he immediately started walking forward step by step.
On the way there.
Chen Fan will inevitably encounter some people.
These people, like him, were either wearing black robes that covered their faces or masks.
At first glance, it's impossible to tell if it's a man or a woman.
However, Chen Fan sensed an aura that surpassed the innate level in many people.
A Qi Refining Realm cultivator!
Not daring to look too closely, he tried to walk around these people.
Before and after arriving at the stone pillar.
Chen Fan then saw clearly what the maids were holding in their hands.
Upon closer inspection, all eight of these maids were at the Innate Realm, corresponding to the eight stone pillars.
In their hands, they weren't holding any kind of plaques, but rather pieces of jade.
Each jade disc bears the inscription of an auction item.
For example, items up for auction include a fox demon's tail, a golden snake demon's inner core, and the Qi Refining Technique and Qi Refining Pills that Chen Fan was interested in.
Among them, the fox demon's tail and the golden snake demon's inner core were the most sought-after items at auction.
Whenever someone makes a bid, a number is added to the stone pillar behind the maid, corresponding to the name of the auctioneer.
Eighteen people bid for the fox tail.
Twenty-five bidders offered for the Golden Serpent Demon's inner core.
As for the Qi Refining Technique that Chen Fan was interested in, only one person made a bid.
This made him extremely excited after he understood the situation.
He thought to himself that the immortal master of the Changchun Sect said that their eunuchs were physically disabled and therefore not qualified to cultivate immortality.
This also "cut off" Chen Fan's path to immortality!
But just when you think you've reached a dead end, a new path opens up before you!
He never expected to encounter a Qi Refining Technique in the market!
Chen Fan, whose desire to cultivate immortality had been rekindled, swallowed hard.
They then arrived at the stone pillar where the Qi Refining Technique was located.
"I want to film this..." Chen Fan pointed to the Qigong technique!
"The current item up for auction...starts at one hundred low-grade spirit stones," the maidservant in front of the stone pillar said with a smile and a gentle tone.
"Leave your name and wait for the auction to end. If someone bids higher, you will need to place your bid. If you feel it's not worth it, you can take back the spirit stones you started with."
One hundred low-grade spirit stones are equivalent to ten mid-grade spirit stones.
Having a general understanding of the rules, Chen Fan nodded and immediately spent fifteen mid-grade spirit stones.
He's so wealthy and powerful that he doesn't care about these spirit stones at all.
"Wei Zhong... fifteen mid-grade spirit stones."
After leaving his name, Chen Fan waited in front of the stone pillar.
It is faintly visible.
When he bid fifteen mid-grade spirit stones, he was already ranked first.
The only bidder also won second place.
With a smile playing on his lips, Chen Fan was filled with excitement and began to wait silently.
At the same time, he did not forget to observe the surrounding situation.
It was discovered that there weren't many people attending the auction.
Many people come here to take a look and then disappear.
Moreover, Chen Fan discovered that everyone who came here was a Qi Refining Realm cultivator.
Unlike the countless acquired martial artists, the innate martial artists are completely different.
Recalling what Lao Li had said, Chen Fan was filled with emotion.
If a celestial master from the Changchun Sect were to arrive in the Great Abyss Imperial City, he would be second only to the emperor, a position of immense power.
For eunuchs like them, they could only look up to others for their entire lives.
To reach that level is nothing short of a pipe dream!
But who would have thought that in this market town...
Cultivators similar to the immortal masters of the Changchun Sect are everywhere!
Suddenly, Chen Fan's mystique towards these lofty immortal masters vanished!
As the saying goes, "Are kings and nobles born with a special destiny?" This old eunuch insisted on cultivating immortality to show these people!
