Chapter 564: Frequent Moves, High-Profile Luo Chen

mayiwsk

A starting bid of one million spirit stones meant that the transaction price would at least double on this basis.

As for failing to sell?

That was impossible.

Even some Golden Core forces that already had third-tier spirit veins would not refuse an extra third-tier spirit vein.

Especially, this was a mobile spirit vein that could be carried around!

Sure enough.

Just after Leng Ruolan announced the start, the bidding atmosphere in the room boiled over.

Someone immediately raised the price by one million at the start, bidding it up to two million.

Afterwards, it was fifty thousand, fifty thousand added up.

Situations where a few tens of thousands of spirit stones were a huge sum of money were insignificant here.

Luo Chen also increasingly felt that with the improvement of the realm, the means for cultivators to accumulate wealth were also greatly improved.

Or rather, the wealth in the world was constantly gathering towards the upper-class people.

He paid attention to the final transaction price of the Wucheng Treasure Basin Fish, and was also very curious about how this demon was cultivated into a third-tier spirit vein.

Regarding this, Han Zhan gave a careful explanation.

"This kind of spirit vein belongs to man-made, as long as you are willing to invest resources, it is actually not complicated."

Man-made spirit vein?

Luo Chen subconsciously thought of the various immortal cities in the Yuding Domain of the Eastern Wasteland.

The third-tier spirit veins inside also had the saying of man-made spirit veins.

But that's not right either!

That kind of man-made spirit vein essentially possesses a spirit vein, and then uses targeted methods to improve the grade.

"What's difficult about this?"

"Transplant a second-tier spirit vein onto this demon, and then improve the grade."

Luo Chen was dumbfounded, "Is it that simple?"

Han Zhan said calmly: "Although it sounds simple, the investment is also huge. And this kind of spirit vein must have flaws. The old man doesn't know what method True Person Feileng used, but those flaws definitely can't escape problems like single spiritual energy attributes, high follow-up maintenance costs, and absolutely have limitations in terms of time."

"Time limit?" Luo Chen was bewildered.

"Hmm, time limit." Han Zhan hummed and continued to explain: "Natural spirit veins, as long as they are not over-exploited and are well maintained, are inexhaustible and last forever. But this spirit vein lives on a demon fish, which also means its lifespan will be affected by the demon fish's lifespan."

The Wucheng Treasure Basin Fish, high in value, everyone wants to obtain it.

But this fish is a well-known short-lived species among demon beasts!

Ordinary demon beasts have a lifespan basically double that of human cultivators of the same tier, which is related to the body being fully soaked in spiritual energy, rather than human cultivators concentrating spiritual energy in the Dantian Qi Sea to break through.

There are advantages and disadvantages!

If the body is good, the lifespan will be longer, but the cultivation speed will be reduced.

Some demon beasts with ancient desolate beast bloodlines even have lifespans several times that of cultivators of the same tier!

And the Wucheng Treasure Basin Fish not only doesn't have such a high lifespan, but is even 20% to 30% lower than human cultivators of the same tier.

The reason for their short lifespan is precisely related to the Wucheng Treasure Basin Fish's love for swallowing spiritual objects.

They only like to swallow things containing spiritual energy, but never distinguish them.

Over time, the spiritual energy in the body becomes mixed and chaotic, naturally becoming a short-lived species.

With Luo Chen's knowledge, the Wucheng Treasure Basin Fish taken out by True Person Feileng has at most a few decades of lifespan left.

When it was finally sold for seven million spirit stones, the fish fell into the hands of a hook-nosed Golden Core cultivator sitting in the loose cultivator seat.

After Luo Chen saw it, while admiring it, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Seven million, in exchange for a few decades of third-tier low-grade spirit vein usage rights, this can be considered to have advantages and disadvantages!"

Calculating carefully, he originally rented a third-tier cave dwelling on Tianlan Peak for one million spirit stones a year.

The so-called seven million is only seven years.

This business is much more cost-effective than when he rented a house in a big city.

Of course, this is also related to the different environments and prices of the two places.

North Sea prices have increased due to the destruction of the Demon Sect and the turbulent situation.

But the North Sea area is huge, and spirit lands are scattered all over the sea area like stars, which also causes spirit lands below the fourth tier to not be very scarce.

With his thoughts diverging, Luo Chen also finally understood why there were so few high-realm loose cultivators in the Eastern Wasteland.

But in the North Sea, not to mention Foundation Establishment and Golden Core, even Nascent Soul loose cultivators emerge one after another.

Looking up, there are the three loose people of the Wan Xian Society as representatives!

The reason for this is also related to the many spirit lands.

As long as the loose cultivator is bold enough, drill into the demon sea, and you can always find spirit veins of extraordinary grade.

As for whether you can survive, that's another matter.

After selling a third-tier Wucheng Treasure Basin Fish for seven million, the atmosphere in the Leng Palace had been completely stirred up.

Next, one resource after another appeared, and even if they were not so scarce, people were still tirelessly making moves.

And Luo Chen was also one of them!

"Fourth-tier water and earth dual-attribute material, one jin of Su Mud."

"The power of Su Mud, I think there is no need for Ruolan to say more. Adding a little to the magic treasure can make it have memory function. As long as it is not completely destroyed, it can make the magic treasure recover as before; it is truly the most indispensable material among various casting minerals."

"Starting bid, 30,000 spirit stones. Each bid increase must not be less than 1,000, everyone start!"

As soon as Leng Ruolan's words fell, many cultivators shouted prices.

On Luo Chen's side, he also opened his mouth: "40,000!"

Someone followed the price, and he didn't give way at all.

"42,000!"

"45,000!"

"50,000!"

"100,000!"

When the price was shouted to 100,000 by Luo Chen, there were few people left following the price.

At this price, adding a little more, you could go buy a low-grade magic treasure of good quality.

Putting it all on one jin of material is simply sick.

When the last follower shouted 101,000 spirit stones with luck, Luo Chen gave the "sky-high price" of 105,000 without hesitation.

That person glared at Luo Chen fiercely, muttered a sentence or two, and gave up continuing to follow the price.

Luo Chen smiled and obtained another portion of materials for casting defensive magic treasures.

He had quite a lot of this Su Mud in his hands before.

It was exchanged from Elder Fei Ming of the Ailao Mountain Golden Core with Millennium Thunder Essence.

But later, it was all added to the Hunyuan Cauldron, so there was no stock left on hand.

Now spending a huge sum of money to get it back, he had a little more confidence in refining defensive magic treasures.

The maid Aqing, who came in again, recorded this auction item for Luo Chen, and then couldn't help but ask: "Superior, you have already auctioned seven kinds of materials, do you want to go to the backstage to exchange them?"

Luo Chen waved his hand, "No hurry, I still have the resources I need, and I will exchange them all together when the time comes."

Aqing nodded, but her heart was secretly clicking her tongue.

This Golden Core superior's family background is truly solid.

In just half an hour, hundreds of thousands of spirit stones in his hand were spent like water.

He didn't even blink his eyelids!

Luo Chen was indeed not in a hurry. For one thing, he was well prepared, and for another, he didn't have much confidence in casting. In order to deal with the frequent failures in the casting process, he had to prepare enough portions of minerals.

The truth here is no different from his alchemy.

In addition, he also had the intention of broadening his knowledge.

Large auctions in the North Sea, he was participating for the first time, and many of the good things that appeared were things he had never heard of.

Understanding more is also good for his cultivation.

The auction continued.

Encountering minerals related to defensive magic treasures, Luo Chen made frequent moves.

As for other things he was interested in, he suppressed the greed in his heart and couldn't spend spirit stones indiscriminately.

Don't say, the scale of this auction was large enough, and the auction items that appeared were indeed rich.

First there were special things like the Wucheng Treasure Basin Fish, then there were endless middle and low-grade magic treasures, and Luo Chen even saw the legendary "mermaid"!

That is a demon race with a human upper body and a fish lower body.

Although the realm was only second-tier, it was auctioned for a high price of hundreds of thousands among many bids.

After the mermaid appeared, the appearance of something was a matter of course.

Female cultivators!

Commonly known as cauldrons!

It was an auction item taken out by the Demon Luo Stream side.

They had been carefully trained since childhood, cultivating special techniques, specifically for high-level cultivators to harvest and supplement.

You can enjoy the joy of fish and water, and you can also increase your cultivation.

A full ten excellent cauldrons were auctioned one by one.

The transaction prices were different, and those who obtained them were all very satisfied.

It was just that some high-realm female cultivators who participated saw this scene, and their faces were not very good-looking.

But the signboard of the Demon Luo Stream was hanging there, so no one was easy to make trouble.

Regarding this, Luo Chen could only sigh, worthy of being the Demon Luo Stream, which is said to have the most gathered remnants of the Demon Sect, even the style of doing things has been retained for the most part.

No!

It should be said that it is unscrupulous.

In the past, when the Yuanmo Sect was there, although there was also the saying of cauldrons in the North Sea, at least everyone did it privately, and rarely would they take it out to trade in the open.

Especially, this was a large auction that was watched by everyone and gathered the high-end forces in the southeast region of the North Sea!

"If the Demon Luo Stream really gets the North Sea, not to mention whether the strength will be stronger than the Yuanmo Sect, at least the style of doing things is original."

Luo Chen muttered two sentences.

Then his spirit was lifted, and he looked at the new auction item.

"Woven Gold, third-tier gold-attribute mineral. Feature, excellent ductility, is an excellent auxiliary material for making magic robes and defensive magic treasures."

"When casting, integrate a sufficient amount of Woven Gold, combined with the Ruyi Formation, and it can change thousands of times, as you wish."

"A total of 72 jin, starting bid 50,000 spirit stones, each bid increase must not be less than 1,000."

"Anyone interested..."

Luo Chen made a move.

The grade of this batch of Woven Gold is not as good as Su Mud, but it wins in quantity.

So the price is quite high.

Many of those who participated in the bidding were casting forces. If they took it back and used it well, I don't know how many magic tools and magic treasures would be made.

Such forces often have strong financial resources.

Therefore, the price he had to pay to compete with them was also greater.

But in the face of his prestige of rarely failing in several previous moves, those casting forces also complained endlessly.

"Forget it! Forget it!"

"I don't know where that guy ran out from, he is willing to bid so much for such seemingly precious but actually ordinary materials."

"Don't compete with him, lest the cost can't be recovered when the time comes."

"170,000, a lunatic!"

In the end, Luo Chen obtained this batch of Woven Gold for 170,000 spirit stones.

The auction process continued.

Seeing that Luo Chen was going to make a move again, and looking unscrupulous, Han Zhan, who was hiding in the Hunyuan Cauldron, couldn't sit still.

"Luo Chen..."

"Old man, don't worry, I have a count in my heart. Didn't you see that I haven't opened my mouth once for resources related to spirit plants and medicinal herbs? Regarding the Yuan Dan Technique and the Nascent Soul Pill recipe, I will definitely help you take down that piece of Soul-Nourishing Wood!"

Han Zhan was helpless and had to suppress the urgency in his heart.

And at the auction, Luo Chen's frequent moves also attracted the attention of many people.

On the third floor.

Witch Qi and Eagle Demon and others were sitting in a large private room, discussing at the moment.

"That guy is the one you were quite concerned about before, right? Now it seems that his strength is hard to say, but his financial resources are indeed strong."

"In my opinion, the strength is estimated to be not very good. Purchasing so many minerals, I think it is to prepare for refining natal magic treasures. A Golden Core cultivator without a natal magic treasure, how strong can he be?"

"It's just that I don't know where his spirit stones came from. I heard he is just a loose cultivator?"

Facing the discussion of his companions, Witch Qi's expression didn't show it.

However, his gaze fell on a man sitting in the corner.

Suddenly.

"Fellow Daoist He Yuan, speaking of which, this person came to Feileng City on the same merchant ship as you, you should know him!"

In the corner, He Yuan raised his head with a calm expression.

"Is that so?"

Witch Qi smiled slightly, "That should be right. I investigated this person yesterday and happened to learn that he came down from the Bai family merchant ship."

Smiling and smiling, he wondered: "No, you didn't discover him at that time?"

He Yuan frowned, didn't answer, as if thinking about something.

At the same time.

Above the fourth floor.

A man wearing a large red robe like blood was communicating with someone across the air.

"Feileng, do you really want to take out that thing?"

The response came quickly.

"If you want to fish, bait is inevitable. Empty-handed white wolf, there is no such good thing. Blood Nightmare, after the event is completed, the other thing you promised me, you won't go back on your word, right?"

The blood-robed man raised the corner of his mouth, "It seems you are willing to bet, but with your guarantee, it seems this letter of intent should be accepted. As for the other thing you mentioned..."

Just at this moment, his expression moved slightly, and his gaze fell below.

Spiritual sense radiated and entered Luo Chen's private room on the second floor.

"Contradictory individual, interesting..."

"What's wrong?" A cold and puzzled female voice came.

Blood Nightmare curled his lips, "Nothing, just found an interesting little guy. Let's get back to business, did Jiyuan agree?"

True Person Feileng said coldly: "I even took out that treasure, how could Senior Brother Jiyuan hesitate. When the time comes, the three of us will make a move together!"

The blood-robed man nodded slightly, but still exhorted.

"Not to mention the other Nascent Soul cultivators, you have to say hello to Elder Fu in advance, so as not to disrupt our plan."

True Person Feileng paused before responding: "You are still the one who considers it thoroughly, I almost forgot, Elder Fu has a rich family background, if he makes a move, it will really ruin our plan."

Not to mention how others discussed the high-profile Luo Chen.

On the party concerned's side, facing the new auction item taken out by Leng Ruolan, he instantly raised all his spirits.

Not only him, but in the Hunyuan Cauldron, Han Zhan's soul also trembled.

"Soul-Nourishing Wood, more than an inch, three thousand years of age. Obtained from the Sinking Sea, contaminated with bad luck."

"The specific price is not easy to evaluate, but after appraisal, as long as the bad luck is removed, this thing can still be used."

"As for how to use it, that depends on the means of each fellow Daoist."

"Starting bid, one million spirit stones. Each bid increase, not less than 100,000!"

It's here!

Luo Chen's eyes condensed, and he opened his mouth without hesitation.

"Two million spirit stones, this thing, I am determined to get!"

After layers of paving before, Luo Chen's opening instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone knew that this person had a rich family background, but every time he made a move, he rarely failed in bidding.

Now, he had doubled the starting bid, showing the thickness of his financial resources and the fullness of his confidence!

At the venue, there was a moment of silence.
