If someone else asked Xu Jun to borrow credits, Xu Jun would definitely not be willing.
However, when Cheng Chen helped Xu Jun to advance the credits for Shenxiao Cave in the past, he did not change his expression and did not hesitate.
Although there was a little misunderstanding, Xu Jun still remembered this favor.
"Brother Cheng, for such a small matter, why don't you just call me? Why come here in person?"
Cheng Chen smiled bitterly and said, "If it was just a small amount of money, I would definitely call. But this time I want more."
Xu Jun was stunned and asked, "How much is more?"
"The more the better."
Hearing this, Xu Jun was a little surprised.
"Brother Cheng, have you committed a crime?"
"Hey, I don't even leave the gate of the Taoist Palace every day, what can I do wrong?" Cheng Chen shook his head and said, "That's right, you are only in the Qi training stage, it's right not to pay attention to these things."
He operated twice on the watch, and an interface popped up immediately.
"Here, take a look."
Xu Jun glanced at it, his eyelids jumped slightly, Principal Ye's actions were really too fast.
A million credits?
To be honest, considering the value of the Changsheng Chaoyuan Pill, if it is only sold for 1.5 million spirit stones, it is indeed a bit of a loss.
However, this one million credits is just a reserve price.
Moreover, Xu Jun believes that although no one is bidding now, the price will change more as time gets closer to the end.
However, it is not something Xu Jun can guess how high it will reach in the end.
"Brother Cheng, you don't want to participate in this auction, do you?"
"Of course I do." Cheng Chen said without hesitation: "This is the Changsheng Chaoyuan Pill. Alas... If I had known that the Dao Palace would release this treasure, I would have started hoarding credits a long time ago."
At this point, he obviously regretted it.
Although he has worked hard over the years, he has been able to accumulate 100,000 credits, which shows that he is not a lazy person. However, this effort is far from reaching the limit of what he can do.
Xu Jun was speechless and said, "Brother Cheng, it's written here that the Changsheng Chaoyuan Pill is only of medium quality, and... ten years? The effect is ten years... ahem, after ten years, will you be able to use it?"
The muscles on Cheng Chen's face twitched slightly, and he sighed, "Hey, it's enough to have a medium quality pill. Ten years, ten years, ten years..."
He said ten years three times in a row, and the tangled look on his face made people worry about him.
Xu Jun advised, "Brother Cheng, maybe you can get the Changsheng Chaoyuan Pill from other channels in the future. Why spend all your money to grab something that you may not use at this time?"
Cheng Chen was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head and said, "That's right, even if I risk my life, I can't even think of advancing to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment within ten years. Haha, I was blinded by desire. This pill is obviously reserved for those people."
Xu Jun didn't ask for the specific names, but he knew with his toes that it must be the veterans of the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment in the Taoist Palace.
Under normal circumstances, even these people can only seek a spiritual object for forming a pill, and then try to form a pill.
However, suddenly an unexpected Changsheng Chaoyuan Pill appeared, and they certainly could not sit idly by.
Suddenly, the two people felt something and looked towards the gate one after another.
Cheng Chen said in surprise: "Xu Jun, your spiritual sense is very strong, not much inferior to mine."
Although he is only in the early stage of foundation building, he is still in the foundation building stage.
Letting go of the spiritual sense, there is also a range of about 300 meters. However, just when he realized that someone's target was this villa, Xu Jun actually discovered it at about the same time.
He had known for a long time that Xu Jun had a spiritual sense when he was in the sixth level of Qi training.
Once promoted to the late stage of Qi training, this spiritual sense will inevitably surge a lot, far exceeding the limit of about 30 meters of ordinary late stage of Qi training.
However, now it seems that this distance is still far beyond his imagination.
However, the specific distance of the spiritual sense is a secret to every cultivator.
He is not the teacher who instructs Xu Jun in the immortal method, even if he wants to ask, he is still worried.
Xu Jun smiled slightly and said, "Brother Cheng, this is someone I know well. I can sense him clearly. Haha, my consciousness is far inferior to yours." The
doorbell rang and then opened automatically.
Sun Yiqiong walked in hurriedly and said, "Cheng Chen, you are here too. Are you here to borrow credits from Xu Jun?"
Cheng Chen looked ashamed and said, "Yes, but now I have thought it through and I won't borrow it."
Sun Yiqiong nodded and said, "It is true that there is no need to borrow it."
"Ah, why?"
"Before I came, I had heard a lot of rumors that a senior who had reached the great perfection of foundation building had raised three million credits and was determined to get the Changsheng Chaoyuan Pill. Therefore, anyone below the late stage of foundation building does not need to fight for it."
Xu Jun couldn't help but look up and said, "Three million credits?"
It's just a Changsheng Chaoyuan Pill, is it that exaggerated?
When Xu Jun made the move, he also considered the price.
One million credits, he was indeed a little reluctant, but he never expected to add a zero at the end.
Sun Yiqiong sighed and said, "Yes, three million credits, that's more than four million spirit stones. This senior is also risking everything."
Cheng Chen was stunned for a long time, and smiled bitterly, "This senior is really brave, he is really not afraid..."
What he is really not afraid of, the three of them knew it well, but they couldn't say it out loud.
If this senior succeeds in the auction and can eventually be promoted to Jindan, everything will be fine. But if he fails, he will really have to carry a lot of debt and use all the remaining time to work to pay off the debt. With
a slight movement in his heart, Xu Jun said, "Teacher Sun, Brother Cheng, if it were you, what would you choose?"
The two did not answer immediately, but thought seriously.
After a long time, Sun Yiqiong said, "I can't do it. The debt of three million credits is too heavy. If I want to fight for it, I must get the full support of the family. If I fail, the cost is too high, and the family will not support me."
Cheng Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Then I can't do it even more. Even if I borrow, I can't borrow so many credits."
Although both of them said no, their tone was full of unwillingness.
Xu Jun suspected that if they really had the foundation-building great perfection and had such an opportunity before them,
it was hard to say whether they would lose their minds and fight with all their strength.
It is indeed impossible to raise three million credits in the early stage of foundation building.
But if they wait until they have cultivated to the great perfection of foundation building... with decades of connections and foundation, everything will be hard to say.
After a while, Cheng Chen said goodbye and left.
Although he had made the decision to give up, everyone could see that he was not in a good mood.
"Xu Jun, did you find any good stuff in the black market this time?" Sun Yiqiong asked with a smile.
Xu Jun pondered for a moment and said, "It's okay, I found some things."
Since Principal Ye did not mention any names at the exchange office, it means that he has plans to cover up for himself. Xu Jun naturally would not jump out and shout that this Changsheng Chaoyuan Pill is his.
"I heard that a Changsheng Chaoyuan Pill appeared in the black market this time... Hey, it can't be this one." Sun Yiqiong said belatedly.
Xu Jun looked a little strange, and said, "Teacher Sun, you heard about it too?"
"What's so strange about this? Don't you read the black market forum? There are always people posting there. Eh... You really didn't read it."
Xu Jun: ...
After a moment, under the guidance of Sun Yiqiong, Xu Jun opened the forum.
Sure enough, he saw a post that was pinned to the top.
This post recorded the top treasures and other items that had ever appeared in the appraisal office.
Among them, the preciousness of the Changsheng Chaoyuan Pill was actually listed in the top 50.
Among the top 50, the rest were treasures or spiritual medicines above the fourth level.
At the same time, the matter of the Mortal Longevity Pill was also recorded below.
If it was just a Mortal Longevity Pill, it would not cause a sensation. However, Yu Hui was too good at taking advantage of it this time.
He took out 99 Mortal Longevity Pills and exchanged them for 99 second-level spiritual medicines.
Compared with the scale of the entire black market transaction, these treasures are nothing.
However, being able to produce so many longevity pills, even if it was only at the mortal level, was enough to cause a huge sensation.
Xu Jun saw that there were many replies below, and he didn't know how many people had left messages, hoping to cooperate with Yu Hui. And they all proposed that they were willing to express their sincerity in the form of the Great Dao Oath and the Heavenly Dao Contract.
Xu Jun read it silently, clicked twice casually, and said: "This alchemist is very popular."
Sun Yiqiong glanced at it and said: "That is, 99 longevity pills. This alchemist can definitely refine a second-level longevity pill, and the success rate will not be too low. Such an alchemist... can enjoy the treatment of a third-level top-grade alchemist."
Xu Jun was stunned and said in surprise: "Is it so exaggerated?"
Sun Yiqiong said seriously: "That is a longevity pill, and the appraisal department has given a summary that these pills are all refined in the same batch, and the quality is extremely stable and there are no defects. Do you know what this means?"
Xu Jun shook his head blankly. He was not an alchemist, so how could he know.
"This means that this alchemist has at least grasped a little of the true meaning of the Great Dao of Time. Although he is probably a foundation-building cultivator now, it is not difficult to advance to the Golden Elixir stage. Even if he is a Nascent Soul, he has great hope. Once he advances to the Nascent Soul stage, relying on the true meaning of the Great Dao of Time, I am afraid that he may even be able to make a fifth-level longevity pill." Sun
Yiqiong's expression was filled with unspeakable yearning.
"At that time, even the ancestors of the Transformation of the Gods may ask him for help."
Xu Jun opened his mouth and wanted to ask how the Appraisal Office inferred that Yu Hui had comprehended the true meaning of the Great Dao of Time through these pills.
However, he finally endured it.
However, Yu Hui was too powerful. He didn't even let himself be the best.
Moreover, what he comprehended in the Qi training period was the true meaning of the Great Dao of Time, which was far more profound than the true meaning of the Five Elements...
Although that kid was not there, Xu Jun felt that he was pretending to be him again.
...
...
Ten days passed quickly.
When everything was settled, Xu Jun really got three million credits.
Three million in total.
The senior who had reached the great perfection of foundation building did not use any tactics of adding fuel to the fire. Instead, he put all the credits up after collecting them.
He told others with his actions.
All my belongings are here. If anyone of you is more ruthless than me, then bid. But if you don't have 3 million credits, then don't talk any more.
Such a desperate momentum really scared off the others and let him take the Changsheng Chaoyuan Pill into his pocket.
In fact, although this pill is precious, for those who have channels, they can still think of a way.
After all, there are only a very small number of people who can be so desperate.
Most of these credits are used to pay the overflow costs of this channel.
Ye Wanqing said when he handed over the credits.
If it was auctioned outside the Dao Palace, or if it was given a few months to brew, the final bid would definitely exceed this price.
However, in order to prevent people from floating too much, Ye Wanqing limited the time to end within ten days. For this reason, he hoped that Xu Jun could understand.
Xu Jun certainly would not have any complaints. If he
put himself in his shoes, he would make the same choice. With 3 million credits on hand, and the kind that was hidden and could not be seen by others, Xu Jun was very happy.
Next time he goes to Shenxiao Cave, he can be open and honest, without having to be stingy or nervous.
Before he graduates, he probably won't have to worry about credits anymore.
After the incident of Changsheng Chaoyuan Pill came to an end, Xu Jun came to Baiyi Branch.
Baiyi Branch is the most complex branch in all the Taoist palaces.
In the Five Elements Branch, at most, it is divided into five elements. But Baiyi Branch really has hundreds of immortal subjects.
Among them, Danqi Zhenfu is the most famous, and the most people study it. Secondly, there are also sporadic people studying spiritual plants, spiritual beasts, spiritual insects, puppets, clothing, etc. There are
more than 20,000 ordinary students in the Taoist Palace, and thousands of graduate students. There will always be a few people who choose to learn and specialize in an unpopular immortal skill.
However, although the scale of Baiyi Branch is large, it is a second-level branch.
It is far from being comparable to the Sword Dao Branch, the Five Elements Branch, the Body Cultivation Branch, etc.
This is not surprising, even the majority of the instructors in Baiyi Branch are part-time.
After all, in the world of cultivating immortals, the realm of cultivation is still respected.
If your cultivation is insufficient and you cannot build a foundation in your lifetime, then no matter how outstanding your talent in the Hundred Arts of Immortals is, your ultimate achievement will be limited.
Therefore, all subjects in the Hundred Arts Branch are electives, not majors.
When Xu Jun came to the Hundred Arts Branch, he quickly found the instructor in charge of the Array Dao.
Jindan Zhenren Sheng Sunyi.
Among the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation, Dan, Qi, Array and Fu are undoubtedly the first echelon. However, the most recognized and the least number of electives are undoubtedly the Array Master.
If Dan Dao, Qi Dao and Fu Dao, after countless attempts, there may be an example of hard work making up for shortcomings.
Then in the Array Dao, such an example is absolutely impossible.
The Array Dao is just like mathematics. If you understand it, you understand it, and if you don't understand it, you don't understand it. If you don't have this talent, you can't learn it.
When Xu Jun came to the Array Dao Department for consultation, he didn't want to communicate directly with Jindan Zhenren.
He just wanted to sign up for a basic course, learn basic array knowledge, and start from the inferior array foundation.
But he didn't expect that he would be targeted by the big boss in charge of formations as soon as he signed up. How could he go to reason with him?
"Meet Master Sheng."
Sheng Sunyi nodded slowly and said, "Xu Jun, I have heard of your name for a long time."
Xu Jun said respectfully, "I am just a little famous, and I don't deserve such praise from Master."
"A little famous? Hehe..." Sheng Sunyi smiled noncommittally and said, "Tell me, how did you think of learning formations?"
Xu Jun thought to himself that if it wasn't for Yuhui's reminder, he wouldn't have come.
"Reply Master, when I was practicing the Way of the King Sword, I felt that I had a connection with the Way of the Formation, so I came."
"Oh, the Way of the King Sword..." Sheng Sunyi sighed deeply, as if he was reminiscing about something. After a moment, he shook his head and said, "Sorry, I can't agree to your request."
Xu Jun was startled, raised his head, and looked puzzled.
Sheng Sunyi said in a deep voice: "If you are an ordinary student and want to sign up to learn the formation, I would be happy to let you try. However, with your talent, the time is not right yet."
Xu Jun hesitated for a moment and said: "Excuse me, Master, what is the time not right?"
"I mean, wait until you have a golden elixir, then come to learn the formation."
"Ah, why?"
"Because of your talent." Sheng Sunyi said in a deep voice: "What you need to do now is to fully improve your cultivation realm, instead of being distracted by the immortal arts."
Xu Jun blinked twice and immediately understood what he meant.
In the Taoist Palace, there is such a saying.
For ordinary students, in addition to the main subjects, the Taoist Palace often considers that they learn one of the immortal arts.
It does not have to be the popular arts, even the remote and unpopular arts are fine.
Moreover, the more remote and unpopular the immortal arts are, even if it is just for entry, it will be easy to find a corresponding job after graduation.
On the contrary, those who devote themselves to the main cultivation method, but cannot even break through the foundation building realm, often find it difficult to find a job they like after graduation.
Of course, if you are born in the Dao Palace, it is not a problem to make a living no matter where you go.
However, how many of these proud children of heaven are willing to choose such a life?
Therefore, practicing one of the hundred arts is a fashion, and it is also considered out of practical conditions.
However, for those real geniuses, the requirements of the Dao Palace will be completely opposite.
Practice with all your strength, and improve your cultivation to the Golden Core as soon as possible, and then use the eyes of transcending the realm to learn the hundred arts of the immortals that you are interested in.
In this way, the time spent will be less.
The biggest difference between the two is that the former is uncertain whether they can build a foundation, so when they practice, they have to find a skill to rely on.
But the latter, that is almost a golden core seed, and the method of cultivation is naturally different. For
such a golden core seed, it is absolutely not worth wasting time on the hundred arts of the immortals when practicing qi and building a foundation.
Xu Jun frowned slightly and said, "Master Sheng, to be arrogant, I am absolutely sure that I can be promoted to the Golden Core."
Sheng Sunyi was not surprised by this. If even someone like Xu Jun could not be promoted to the Golden Core, then there might be no Golden Core in this world.
"I know, that's why I asked you to concentrate on your practice. You must not live up to this talent." Sheng Sunyi said slowly: "Xu Jun, go back. Before you become a Golden Core, no immortal skill of the Baiyi Branch will accept you."
Although Sheng Sunyi said it politely, Xu Jun heard the persistence in his words.
Once the Golden Core Master has decided on something, it is undoubtedly very difficult to
make him change his mind. Xu Jun did not think that he could change his mind by making a fuss here.
Helplessly, Xu Jun bowed slightly to him and turned to leave.
Just as he was about to leave, Sheng Sunyi suddenly said: "Xu Jun, when you become a Taoist friend of mine, I am willing to personally teach you the great way of formation."
Xu Jun was startled and said solemnly: "Thank you, Master."
He could sense that this Master had no ill will towards him, but was truly thinking about him, and was not moved even if he was offended by it.
But the problem is that Xu Jun's situation is indeed different.
Because there are three projections constantly working hard in the other world, Xu Jun only needs to do two things.
Wait, and adapt!
Wait for the projections to grow, and then let the body adapt to this growth.
As for his practice...
It's not that Xu Jun doesn't want to work hard, but all his practice will be covered by the realm after the projections grow.
Therefore, in the process of adapting his body, Xu Jun actually has a lot of time to waste.
Maybe Yu Hui noticed something, so he suggested that he start learning the way of formation in advance.
However, Xu Jun couldn't tell others about this special situation.
After leaving the Baiyi Branch, Xu Jun didn't go to find Principal Ye. Because he could feel that Master Sheng's refusal was so straightforward, I'm afraid it wasn't just his intention.
If it was before the establishment of the Immortal Alliance, Xu Jun might really be helpless.
But thanks to the Immortal Alliance and the Dao Palace.
There is a vast amount of knowledge and corresponding tutorials on the Internet.
As long as your cultivation meets the standards and you get the permission, you can watch it at any time. Of course, basic knowledge is free, but if you want to watch various explanations, you still need to pay a little bit of money.
However, compared to Xu Jun's millions of family assets, it was just a drop in the bucket.
Xu Jun returned to the villa, first downloaded "The First Explanation of the Array", then used his spiritual consciousness to contact the watch and read it.
After a long time, he opened his eyes, his brows were already tightly knitted together.
The array is really profound!
Xu Jun is not unable to understand it. With the knowledge and IQ he has now mastered, he can still understand the basics of the array.
However, he also confirmed one thing because of this.
That is, he is not stupid and can understand "The First Explanation of the Array", but at the same time, he is not a genius in this area who can understand it at a glance and draw inferences from one example.
He needs to study hard and think seriously to understand the meaning of it.
Moreover, just the first section has already consumed a lot of his energy and has a feeling of exhaustion.
If you want to chew all the content in this area and understand it thoroughly, I am afraid you need to study it in units of "years".
And this is only the most basic book in the formation course, "The Beginning of Formation".
There are still six books to read for the elementary courses above this.
At this time, Xu Jun finally understood the good intentions of Sheng Sunyi.
Sure enough, the best way is to study the formation after the golden elixir.
Xu Jun sighed deeply, gathered his mind, and concentrated on the world of swordsmanship.
(this chapter is finished)
