thirty bottles for nearly forty thousand spirit stones averaged out to over thirteen hundred per bottle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was another transaction with an excessive premium!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was no help for it; to trade spirit stones for time, one had to pay this price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After securing thirty bottles, Luo Chen knew when to stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did not participate in the subsequent seven auctions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Although I still want more, thirty bottles are enough for me to use for nearly a year.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I keep bidding, it will be easy to offend others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without Luo Chen's participation, the transaction prices for the subsequent mid-grade Qi Gathering Pills dropped significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the auction atmosphere became even more heated than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each bid was not high, but the follow-up bids were intense; by the last two times, the prices rose again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching this scene, Luo Chen felt a sense of emotion in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He understood that he was not the only one who grasped these principles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But mainstream cultivation elixirs of mid-grade or even high-grade quality were always strictly controlled by the major sects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone understood the logic, but it was truly a case of having a price but no market!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thirty bottles are enough for me to use for a while, but what about afterwards?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can't wait ten years every time just to bid for a year's supply!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the immediate worry was gone, after experiencing the simulation in the Mirror of Heart Inquiry, he had developed a habit of looking further ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just saw it, but for the time being, he had no better solution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The auction continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it progressed, the value of the resources appearing became increasingly exorbitant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like before, it was still Foundation Establishment early and mid-stage cultivators like Luo Chen and Lu Rong who were competing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators were also becoming active.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even those few Jin Dan True Persons began to make their moves one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen gradually fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Luo!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm, I know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third-tier healing elixir that Kang Xianqiong needed had appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were many people bidding this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen spent a great deal of effort before finally winning it at a high price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist Kang, my apologies. It cost five thousand spirit stones more than I estimated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kang Xianqiong shook her head repeatedly, her face filled with excitement and gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Being able to win it is already not easy.

the thanks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Kang Xianqiong said, even if she had enough spirit stones, it would be very difficult for her to win this item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of large-scale auction was no longer just a contest of financial power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because identity information was made public.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many times, the bidding had a flavor of targeting specific people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason Luo Chen was able to win this item for Kang Xianqiong, besides the high price, was also because he borrowed the reputation of the Luo Tian Society and the momentum accumulated from his previous several bids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knew he had money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his determination to win, ordinary people really couldn't compete with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he just blindly bid high prices, it would be one thing, but Luo Chen also had several instances of stopping halfway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This showed that he was not some naive youth who just threw money around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What if the price was really driven up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Luo Chen suddenly stopped wanting it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the ones who would lose out would be themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon fulfilling his promise to Kang Xianqiong, Luo Chen felt a sense of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Basically, everything he needed had been won.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today's spending could be considered quite satisfying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the items that followed, he intended to be a pure spectator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not because of insufficient financial power, nor because those items weren't good enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because he couldn't afford to offend many of the participants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Low-grade magic treasure Thousand-Fold Seal, fifty-five thousand for the third time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Lian Cang of Mount Ailao!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the magic treasure that had been sold, Luo Chen's gaze held some envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew of this magic treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heavy Turn Seal in his own storage bag was forged with the intention of becoming a Thousand-Fold Seal, but because it failed, it was renamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attack of the Heavy Turn Seal was somewhat clumsy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Thousand-Fold Seal didn't have so many flaws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Envy was envy, but he couldn't possibly compete with that Lian Cang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the other party was a Jin Dan cultivator!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't just this one auction item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The subsequent items were of increasing value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There even appeared a mid-grade magic treasure, which was won by a Jin Dan True Person from the Green Elixir Valley for a transaction price of three hundred and fifty thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a high price was staggering!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people beside Luo Chen, Sima Huiniang and Kang Xianqiong, were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the usually calm Wang Yuan was uncharacteristically flustered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They couldn't imagine how many years they would have to earn to gather enough spirit stones to buy such a mid-grade magic treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides killing and seizing treasures, they couldn't think of a second way to obtain such an item.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Luo Chen remained calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just a few hundred thousand spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he saved for a few more years, he would be able to buy it through legitimate means himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that Jin Dan True Person from the Green Elixir Valley, didn't they also rely on spirit stones earned through years of hard work to buy their desired treasure?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps it wasn't that hard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cultivators from the Green Elixir Valley mostly know a few alchemy techniques, and their speed of acquiring wealth is no less than mine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The astronomical prices that ordinary cultivators find unimaginable are just a drop in the bucket for them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was what he thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that was what the Jin Dan True Person from the Green Elixir Valley did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They bought three magic treasures in total, two low-grade and one mid-grade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their generosity far surpassed that of the other Jin Dan True Persons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time flowed slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the Peerless Fairy finally brought out a portion of Dragon Transformation Pill and Ice Phoenix Pill, the auction reached its climax!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Dragon Transformation Pill comes from the Green Elixir Valley, and the Ice Phoenix Pill comes from the Ice Fortress; both are third-tier elixirs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Taken together, combined with the secret technique of my Ice Fortress, it can increase the chance of Core Formation by ten percent!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Starting bid is ten thousand spirit stones, please begin, everyone!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as these words were spoken, the whole venue boiled over!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the private room, the breathing of everyone in the Luo Tian Society became rapid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including Luo Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he ultimately suppressed the craving in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dragon Transformation Pill was not hard to find; it was a specialty elixir of the Green Elixir Valley and was often sold externally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ice Phoenix Pill was relatively rare and generally only circulated within the Ice Fortress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But considering its price, as a third-tier elixir, it was only a few thousand spirit stones per bottle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One pill was only a few hundred spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet combined, they called out a high starting bid of ten thousand, the main reason being the secret technique brought out by the Ice Fortress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It can increase the chance of Core Formation by ten percent!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst his sigh, Luo Chen said calmly: \"Don't think about it, this matter is not something we can participate in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The few people beside him were stunned, but looking at the sources of the rising bids in the venue, they also tacitly dismissed that inappropriate thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all great cultivators at the late stage of Foundation Establishment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Kui, whom Luo Chen knew, was also among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ancestor of the Zheng family of Rolling Dragon Ridge, although only at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, also fiercely joined this bidding war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides them, there were several other powerful existences whose origins he couldn't name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a feast for late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The early and mid-stage cultivators in the lower levels could only watch longingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jin Dan cultivators in the upper levels watched coldly, seemingly not tempted at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, this portion of Core Formation elixirs fell into the hands of a man with red lips and white teeth, whose face was like a crown of jade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That is Xuan Yu, the actual manager of Mount Tao.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard he is the favorite male concubine of the Peach Blossom Ancestor of the Hundred Flowers Palace, and is highly favored!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sima Huiniang suppressed the excitement in her heart and explained the other party's background to Luo Chen in a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing this explanation, Luo Chen suddenly understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, when it came to Core Formation elixirs, how could ordinary rogue Foundation Establishment cultivators covet them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Look at the group of people who were competing just now!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of them had backgrounds in major sects, either as collateral branches or vassals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even this Xuan Yu, although not a member of the Hundred Flowers Palace, was the favorite male concubine of the Peach Blossom Ancestor, and even managed a Mount Tao on her behalf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By comparison, how could other rogue Foundation Establishment cultivators compete with him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his line of sight, Chu Kui's lonely expression was extremely conspicuous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking his head, Luo Chen stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To participate in the competition for Core Formation elixirs, it will be at least one or two hundred years before it's our turn.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at it with detachment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But others were not so calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people, when leaving, still looked longingly at the triumphant Xuan Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it could only increase the chance of Core Formation by ten percent, it was still a ten percent increase!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The difficulty of Core Formation was a thousand times that of Foundation Establishment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of hardship was hard to experience personally unless one was the person involved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But one could catch a glimpse of it from the sparse number of Jin Dan cultivators in the Jade Cauldron Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Jade Cauldron Domain, Qi Refining cultivators number in the millions, and those at the Foundation Establishment stage number in the thousands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the number of Jin Dan cultivators, added up across the seven major sects, did not exceed one hundred!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was truly one in ten thousand, or even one in one hundred thousand!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason why the number of Jin Dan cultivators was so scarce was because Core Formation was simply too difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xuan Yu had now obtained a portion of Core Formation elixirs, and had the support of the Peach Blossom Ancestor behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was likely that in a few decades, there would be a high probability of him achieving Core Formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, he would be able to truly join the Hundred Flowers Palace as a Jin Dan True Person, becoming the fourth person besides the three Jin Dan of the Hundred Flowers Palace!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving the private room, Luo Chen, led by Sima Huiniang, headed straight for a side hall of the Ice Lan Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the place specifically for delivering goods and spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, in such a large-scale auction, the resources involved were simply too many; it was impossible to deliver on the spot every time a transaction was made.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, everything was accumulated until the end of the auction before settlement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving in a room shielded by a formation, Luo Chen took out ninety thousand low-grade spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, twelve thousand were given to him by Kang Xianqiong, specifically to pay for that third-tier healing elixir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides that, seventy-eight thousand was the amount Luo Chen had spent in this auction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist Luo, these are your items, you may count them on the spot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person responsible for the settlement in this room was an old acquaintance of Luo Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Boying of the Ice Fortress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen smiled slightly, took the items, and without pretending to be generous, counted them carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Boying didn't mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it came to such a huge sum of spirit stones, everyone should be serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Warm Sun Fragrance, good quality, it seems it was only recently taken from the Warm Sun Wood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third-tier mineral materials, no problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ice Silkworm Cushion, emitting a faint chill; just by touching it, Luo Chen's thoughts became much calmer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thirty bottles of mid-grade Qi Gathering Pills; just by opening them, he felt the rich spiritual energy, the quality was definitely no problem!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gas-Body Homology, second-tier body refining technique. The seal was intact, confirming that it had not been opened since entering the auction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a count, Luo Chen put these items away with satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry for the trouble, Fellow Daoist Shi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Boying smiled, \"It's no trouble, this only happens once every ten years; I don't need to step in for ordinary small auctions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Boying, who used to be cold and devoid of human warmth, had become increasingly harmonious in her attitude towards Luo Chen following the cooperation between Luo Chen and Dantai Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their exchanges were always accompanied by smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is Fellow Daoist Luo planning to leave directly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm, yes, is there anything else?\" Luo Chen asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Boying pointed in a direction, \"My Ice Fortress is holding a banquet, you might as well attend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? A banquet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, specifically to entertain the Foundation Establishment cultivators who attended the auction.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst Luo Chen's curiosity, Shi Boying specifically explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned out that the banquet after the auction was not specifically organized by the Ice Fortress, but was a convention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost every time the ten-year auction ended, the organizers would hold a banquet involving Foundation Establishment and even Jin Dan cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was very simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the auction, often the atmosphere would get heated, people would bid against each other, and then the person who won the resource would regret it or be dissatisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were also those who couldn't outbid others but were truly in dire need of the corresponding resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were even fools who spoke wildly, shouted astronomical prices, and then couldn't produce the corresponding amount of spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, after the auction, there were always contradictions and a mess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no lack of cases where people fought inside and outside the Tianlan Immortal City for certain resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the organizers would specifically hold such a banquet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could provide a way for people to transfer resources at a low price to recoup costs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could provide an opportunity for those in urgent need of certain resources to supplement their spirit stones with resources of higher value to exchange for their desired items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those treasures that failed to sell would occasionally be brought out for re-auction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be said that with this banquet, it was enough for the organizers to resolve many potential troubles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some sect geniuses would also appear at such banquets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To extensively build connections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The latter point was Luo Chen's own extended speculation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, there are also some who don't want to participate and leave quietly; my Ice Fortress doesn't force them,\" Shi Boying said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen thought about it; this kind of banquet was indeed worth attending.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was not the type to only know bitter cultivation; even if there were no resources he wanted to exchange, he could build some connections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, because he was new to Tianlan Immortal City, he and the Luo Tian Society had kept a relatively low profile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the Luo Tian Society had stabilized, and he himself was at the third level of Foundation Establishment, it was time to get to know some fellow practitioners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four elements of immortal cultivation: wealth, companions, law, and land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was always developing comprehensively!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist Shi, I will attend this banquet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without chatting much more, Luo Chen bid farewell to Shi Boying and left the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving outside, he asked for the opinions of Wang Yuan and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yuan had no interest in socializing and planned to go back directly to study that book on Gas-Body Homology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duan Feng was the same; Feng Xia was waiting for him at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sima Huiniang wanted to go, but unfortunately, this banquet was only for cultivators above Foundation Establishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had the status, but not the realm, so she couldn't go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kang Xianqiong had no intention of participating at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After receiving the healing elixir from Luo Chen, she was impatient to return to Taishan Workshop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, only Luo Chen was left to attend the Ice Lan Palace banquet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't mind, and after saying goodbye to the four, he was led by a maid into a slightly dim side hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because he came out early.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he arrived at the banquet scene, there weren't many people yet, only a few.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze focused, and he saw Chu Kui drinking alone at a wine table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fellow Daoist Chu, why are you sitting alone in a corner, drinking alone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Kui raised his eyes and gave a self-deprecating smile, \"Aren't you asking the obvious?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",3152,"2026-06-12T10:36:04.828Z","2026-06-18T03:42:36.771Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","0c1419e74904972c862bbd3d96ed0a483c4baafa08a64e18caeed63081f81978","immortality-begins-from-an-alchemy-grandmaster-chapter-255","immortality-begins-from-an-alchemy-grandmaster-chapter-253",1090,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimmortality-begins-from-an-alchemy-grandmaster-cover.jpg"]
