Elder Qin did not refute, but smiled and said:
"This is how the world of cultivation is. Every treasure has its owner. Spending tens of thousands of spirit stones to buy a good fortune that comes to your doorstep, this opportunity is in everyone's hands. Whether you can grasp it depends on everyone."
After a pause.
Elder Qin respectfully bowed to Zifu, who was sitting cross-legged above the auction field.
A little ancient box.
The box instantly floated to the front of Zifu Daxiu.
Elder Qin said solemnly:
"In order to dispel everyone's concerns about the box's restrictions, we will let the Supreme Elder of the Chamber of Commerce strike with all our strength."
As soon as the voice fell.
Everyone present couldn't help but breathe heavier.
For no other reason.
Being able to see Zifu Daxiu take action, just this point is extremely rare.
But Zifu, who was originally meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, pinched his right hand, and then a faint golden true energy fell on the ancient box with a bang.
Boom!
Sparks flew everywhere.
The terrifying power made the box jingle.
The remaining mana vented to the surroundings.
Buzz!
At this time, a brilliant array light curtain lit up on the auction field, protecting the surroundings.
Bang, bang, bang!
The remaining mana was trapped on the light curtain.
The light curtain trembled violently.
After a while.
All the spiritual light disappeared, and the box floated safely in the air.
Fu Changsheng, who was concentrating on watching this scene, had a look of shock in his eyes.
The power of the Purple Mansion is so terrifying!
And judging from the true essence released by the other party just now, it is obviously purer than Shangguan Feng's, and it contains a hint of unspeakable divine power.
Elder Qin waved his hand.
The ancient box landed on the auction platform:
"The box's restrictions are just as you can see. The Purple Mansion Renovation still can't do anything about it. Obviously, this box is waiting for a destined person. The starting price of the box is 50,000. Each bid cannot exceed 1,000 spirit stones. The auction begins!"
The starting price is 50,000? !
Fu Changsheng frowned.
If he hadn't known that the box contained a city construction map that could resist the Purple Mansion Renovation, he would definitely not bid.
Sure enough.
There were many people who had the same idea as him.
Almost no one bid in the entire auction venue.
The beast tide is coming.
Huainan Prefecture is the first line of defense.
The noble families are all preparing for this. Who would be willing to spend this spare money to bid on whether it can be opened and whether the items after opening are useful in the box.
Elder Qin called a few times.
In the entire venue, no one bid at all.
Elder Qin was not discouraged. This was within his reason. He immediately said:
"Since no one is bidding."
Before he finished speaking.
A voice came from No. 66 on the third floor:
"Fifty-one thousand spirit stones."
Fu Changsheng, who was about to bid, frowned.
No. 66 obviously had the same idea as him, just wanting to get the item at the lowest price.
Or.
The other party just became interested temporarily.
No matter what.
He must get this city construction map.
Immediately said:
"Fifty-two thousand."
Elder Qin was a little surprised.
He thought the box would be returned to its original owner, but he never thought that someone would actually bid for it.
The Gongsun family was also relieved at this time.
After Fu Changsheng called out a number, No. 66 paused, and seemed to have no intention of bidding again.
"Fifty-two thousand once, fifty-two thousand twice, fifty-two thousand."
When Elder Qin was about to make the final decision.
No. 66 spoke again:
"One hundred thousand"
One hundred thousand spirit stones?
The whole venue was silent.
Everyone came here for the foundation-building pill and the final treasure.
Someone actually offered 100,000 spirit stones for an unknown object.
Some people present began to whisper and discuss:
"Is this box really filled with some amazing treasure?"
"It's hard to say. I heard that several young masters from Huaibei Prefecture came. 100,000 spirit stones are rare in our Huainan Prefecture, but for the wealthy young masters of the Huaibei Prefecture, they can still take it out with a grit of teeth."
"Yes, even if there is some treasure in it, the Purple Mansion Master can't open it. After spending 100,000 spirit stones, you can only look at it but not touch it."
The people of the Gongsun family are now vaguely regretting it.
After all, someone offered such a high price.
Most of them knew that there was an extraordinary treasure hidden in the box, but the arrow had already left the string, and it was too late to regret it now, unless they bid high again.
The head of the Gongsun clan hesitated again and again.
Finally, they chose to give up. For them, the most important thing now is the foundation-building pill.
Fu Changsheng of No. 68 did not expect No. 66 to offer such a high price. He thought about it quickly and said immediately:
"130,000!"
He raised the price by 30,000 at once.
Clan leader Gongsun looked at No. 66 on the left eagerly, hoping that the other party would show courage and raise the price.
Elder Qin also repeated tentatively:
"130,000 once, 130,000 twice. 130,000 three times"
Ding!
The final word:
"The person who is destined to own this ancient box is guest No. 68."
However.
This time.
Elder Qin did not immediately let the maid bring the box up, but had already been waiting at No. 66. The maid of No. 68 opened the curtain and walked in after the bidding price came down. After a while, she came out and nodded slightly to Elder Qin.
Qin Ruyi then handed the box to the maid.
In the box.
The moment Fu Changsheng received the ancient box, he was still a little excited. He had also deposited 70,000 spiritual stones from the Wu and Liu families.
At this moment.
He was already penniless.
Even the seeds of the soul-nurturing grass don't have enough spirit stones to bid for.
Sit for a while.
Before the three final treasures appeared, Fu Changsheng walked out of the private room. When he came down from the stairs, he clearly felt that someone was following him.
However, the maid from the Wanning Chamber of Commerce guided her to a dark room of the Chamber of Commerce:
"My guest, this is an arbitrary door. After exiting from this door, you may appear anywhere in the streets of Fangshi. However, the robe on your body has a short-term invisibility function. After you activate it, there will be enough time for you to Return to your destination in Fangshi calmly."
Fu Changsheng nodded slightly.
No wonder Wanning Chamber of Commerce has such a service since it is so hard to find a bidding quota.
After exiting any door.
He found himself outside the government office of Zhen Shisi. Because of the spiritual barrier and invisibility function of the robe, no one noticed him at all.
After returning to the backyard of Wandan Pavilion.
He entered the secret room directly. With a thought, the Yunhuan Purple Immortal Pagoda suddenly floated in front of him. When he clicked on the pagoda, the first layer of soul-eating insects in the pagoda buzzed out, and in an instant, the ancient box was densely surrounded. .
Just in case the Gongsun family or the Wanning Chamber of Commerce left any tracking clues in the box.
He decided to let the soul-eating insects devour it first before talking about it.
After all, the soul-devouring insect can swallow everything.
"Hey, it's really effective."
Fu Changsheng discovered that the restriction that even the Purple Mansion Overhaul could not break was weakening little by little under the teeth of these soul-devouring insects:
"Big Bear, Second Bear, Third Bear, you guys come out too"
Fu Changsheng points to the second floor of Yunhuan Purple Immortal Tower.
Buzz!
Three second-level soul-eating insects flew out of the pagoda instantly.
Compared to the first-order soul-eating insects.
They all have two pairs of wings.
Among them, the largest late-stage second-order bear, the third pair of wings is already in its infancy.
With the addition of the Three Bears.
The restrictions on the ancient box were broken very quickly.
Less than half an hour.
Buzz!
All the restrictions in the box were swallowed up.
The three bears and a group of first-order soul-devouring insects seemed to be drunk, flying around a bit, but Fu Changsheng's eyes lit up:
"It seems that the level of the three bears can be improved by at least a small level after digestion."
And among this group of first-order soul-devouring insects.
It should also be possible to give birth to a second-order soul-eating insect again.
Fu Changsheng went to the opened box and took a closer look.
at the same time.
In Private Room No. 67 on the third floor of the auction house, Patriarch Gongsun suddenly groaned and his face changed slightly. When the tribesmen next to him saw this, their hearts skipped a beat:
"Master, but"
"Well, the restrictions on the box left by our ancestors have been broken."
"How is this possible!"
The Gongsun clan members looked in disbelief.
The Gongsun family has used all means, but after so many years, they still can't open this box. How come they accidentally turned around and met the so-called destined person? !
at this time.
The two patriarchs, Gongsun and Sun, immediately felt uncomfortable with the 130,000 spirit stones they had received.
after all. These 130,000 spirit stones are nothing compared to the forbidden treasures that even the Purple Mansion Overhaul cannot open.
The Gongsun people regretted:
"Master, if we had known this, we would have gritted our teeth. The worst we could do was give a piece of land to the Shi family, which would be better than selling the relics of our ancestors."
But nothing in this world can be known in advance.
In the secret room of Wandan Pavilion.
Fu Changsheng made a move with his hand, and saw a piece of cowhide roll in the ancient box floating up instantly and landing in his palm. The cowhide roll seemed to be only a short piece, but after unfolding, it turned out to be more than a hundred feet long, with different inscriptions densely engraved on it. The talisman array also has complicated city walls, inner and outer cities and underground structures.
Take a closer look.
I found that every brick and tile here was actually engraved with talisman arrays. These talisman arrays seemed to have no structure at first glance, but when looking at the overall situation, they were connected into one body and gathered into the shape of a three-headed dragon:
"It is indeed a city planning plan that can withstand the purple mansion's overhaul!"
On the last page of the cowhide volume.
There is actually a long list below.
They are all the materials needed to build the city, and they are even as detailed as how many tiles, bricks and stones are needed in total.
"If the city is built before the beast tide arrives, no matter how large the beast tide is, the Fu family will be invincible in this city."
Thinking like this.
The next moment.
The familiar mechanical voice suddenly sounded in my mind:
"bite"
"You have obtained a high-level city construction map for your family and gained 2,000 family contribution points."
Two thousand family contribution points!
See this value.
Fu Changsheng was really shocked.
This is just a blueprint. When the city is actually built, won't he be able to gain more contribution points?
Fu Changsheng threw the empty box into the Yunhuan Purple Immortal Pagoda, then put the cowhide roll into another box with a white background and wood grain, punched in a series of restrictions, and then put it into a storage bag and put it away.
This trip.
I harvested additional Purple Clouds flowers and a city planning map. Although I didn't win the half-dead soul-nurturing grass seeds, I had no regrets.
When coming out of the secret room.
But they saw Wu and Liu still sitting in the backyard.
Fu Changsheng was stunned for a moment:
"You haven't returned to Anyang County yet?"
Patriarch Wu looked bitter.
Shaking his head repeatedly:
"Clan Leader Fu, the two of us went out to do some research. It is said that there are a robbery cultivator ambushing every few hundred feet outside Fangshi, waiting for people who enter the auction venue to come out. I'm afraid that if we go back later, we will have to wait for someone to come out. Let Patriarch Fu give us a ride."
"Well, of course that's no problem."
Fu Changsheng nodded slightly.
At the same time, I changed my mind.
For the sake of safety, and also to make sure that outsiders believed that the Fu family had bid for the Foundation Establishment Pill, he decided to wait for Shangguan Peak to come out and let the other party escort him to the fiefdom.
Shangguan Peak is already halfway to Zifu.
He's there.
If there is a calamity cultivator who is not afraid of death, he is seeking his own death.
The three of them waited for about half an hour.
The messenger jade talisman on Fu Changsheng's body suddenly lit up, and a magic spell entered. Shangguan Feng's voice came out: "Changsheng, let's meet at the exit of Fangshi."
It looks like the bidding has ended.
Fu Changsheng was somewhat curious about what the final treasure was.
Arrive at the gate of Fangshi.
Fu Changsheng and the others left in the green python.
Shangguan Feng was sitting cross-legged in front of the green python. Many of the ambushing Jie cultivators looked at it and all of them backed down. No one dared to step forward to provoke him.
Along the way.
Everyone had a tacit understanding and did not ask about what happened at the auction.
One is afraid that the partition wall has ears. After all, this is the wilderness.
Secondly, although he and Uncle Feng have a close relationship, they represent two families behind them, so naturally some things cannot be said openly.
Arrive at the fiefdom.
Shangguan Feng unexpectedly entered the Fu family's small sitting room. After closing the meeting hall circle, Shangguan Feng patted the storage bag.
A flash of light.
Suddenly, a box with a white background and wood grain floated towards Fu Changsheng:
"Uncle Feng, what is this?"
"Open it and take a look."
Fu Changsheng was inexplicably nervous.
A spell was entered.
The box opens.
But I saw three seeds inside that exuded wisps of death and brought a few traces of life. The seeds were the size of soybeans, half white and half black:
"Uncle Feng, are these the seeds of the soul-nurturing grass?!"
Fu Changsheng didn't expect that such a thing would fall into Shangguanfeng's hands.
Shangguan Feng nodded slightly:
"It's true that they are soul-nurturing grass seeds, but because their vitality has been reduced by half, they are already half-dead. Our Shangguan family does not have high-level spiritual cultivators. These three seeds cannot be raised even if they are taken back. Let the few from your Fu family If Mr. Lingzhi tries, he can be saved, that's the heritage of his family."
There was a pause.
Shangguan Feng quickly transmitted the message:
"The soul-nourishing grass is the main medicine for refining the soul-nourishing elixir. It is very effective in breaking through the Zifu."
Finished.
He took a sip of tea.
Fu Changsheng was moved:
"Uncle Feng, I won't say thank you. If this soul-nurturing grass is really cultivated in the future, I will definitely send you a copy as soon as possible."
Shangguan Feng smiled slightly.
It is difficult for this seed to survive, and it will take hundreds of years to cultivate it to maturity.
He was afraid that he would not be able to wait until the soul-nurturing grass matured.
The two talked for a while.
Shangguan Feng said goodbye and left.
Wait until he leaves.
Fu Changsheng immediately couldn't wait to plant three seeds of soul-nurturing grass into the Huangshi Medicine Garden. Others may not be able to save them, but the soil in the Huangshi Medicine Garden is the sacred soil of breath soil. Even the four-turn green lotus can save it. Cultivation, let alone soul-nourishing grass seeds.
Accompanying the seeds into the soil.
After a while.
However, I saw wisps of mysterious energy bursting out from the sacred soil of Xi soil to wrap up the three seeds. The death energy of the soul-nourishing grass seeds was decreasing little by little, while the vitality was rising little by little. One was declining, the other was increasing, although it did not happen in a day. Yes, but there is obviously no problem in reviving these three seeds.
at the same time.
The familiar mechanical voice came from Fu Changsheng's sea of consciousness again:
"bite"
"You purchased three soul-nourishing grass seeds for your family and gained 300 contribution points."
Immediately afterwards.
The family contribution value on the panel instantly changed from 8,300 to 8,500!
The distance to breaking through 10,000 is also very close:
"It's time to practice in seclusion."
Except for not finding the auxiliary spiritual object to refine the Red Lotus Earth Core Fire, he can start practicing the "Dayan Jue". In addition, once he succeeds in cultivating his spiritual consciousness, he can start practicing the spiritual art "Hazy Phantom".
Even sacrificial and refined human puppet clones.
but.
Before that.
He had to finish the few chores at hand.
Wu and Liu stayed in Huikeyuan of the Fu family. After receiving the news that Fu Changsheng wanted to summon them, Wu and Liu were a little stunned. After all, they had just returned from Fangshi and separated not long ago.
Patriarch Wu guessed:
"Brother Liu, is it possible that the Fu family plans to return our 70,000 spirit stones?"
The Fu family now has stores not only in Wanningfang City, but also in Feilongfang City. Not to mention Nanyangfang City, just the first two cities can make a lot of money every day.
The Fu family also occupied two major fiefdoms, Yunshan County and Pingshan County.
Unify the Han Ling River.
With this family fortune, it shouldn't be a problem to come up with 70,000 spirit stones.
Liu Qingmin also nodded slightly:
"That's probably it."
If not.
People like Fu Changsheng would discuss important matters with their small qi-training family.
The two arrived at the meeting hall.
There was only Fu Changsheng in the hall. The two of them were sitting half-way down when they saw Fu Changsheng hit the formation with a spell. There was a buzzing sound, and layers of light curtains suddenly rose up in the entire conference hall.
Look at this battle.
It doesn't look like he's returning the spiritual stone.
Patriarch Wu's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the Fu family wanted it.
As soon as this thought crossed his mind, he put it away. The reason why he came to the Fu family was because from the perspective of Fu Changsheng taking over the Fu family, the Fu family's current style of dealing with things, as long as you offend the Fu family, the Fu family will never I will offend you, and if you are kind to the Fu family, the Fu family will definitely repay you tenfold.
Fu Changsheng didn't show off either.
One shot storage bag.
A flash of light.
Suddenly the two pill bottles floated towards Wu Liu.
Wu and Liu's consciousness swept away.
It was discovered that the pill bottle contained the foundation-building pill they had dreamed of.
The two of them were so excited that their bodies were trembling.
Patriarch Wu's throat rolled:
"Clan Chief Fu, what is this Foundation Building Pill?"
If it weren't for Fu Changsheng's strong strength.
At this moment, they couldn't help but take action to seize the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Fu Changsheng said directly:
"Two clan leaders, after you left, I luckily succeeded in bidding for a set of foundation-building pills, but it contained the 70,000 spirit stones given by you two. If you want to get the spirit stones back, you will have to wait for several years. , our Fu family will definitely return the principal with interest, if it were you."
