Chapter 505: Second-tier Spirit Peach

The auction held by the Su Family passed in the blink of an eye. The entire auction sold for a total price of 280,000 spirit stones.

Among them, the six Foundation Establishment Pills sold for 130,000 low-grade spirit stones, with each pill's price exceeding 20,000.

The reason it was like this was because Purple Mansion families participated, making the competition even more intense.

As for the remaining 100,000-plus, there were also some treasures taken out by other families.

The Su Family's first auction also ended successfully.

"Congratulations! Congratulations!"

For those cultivators who bid on the Foundation Establishment Pills, after the end, those cultivators were all laughing and congratulating them on the surface, but from their eyes that were smiling but not really smiling, one could see ill intentions.

Especially the rogue cultivator who bid on one Foundation Establishment Pill, naturally attracting the peeping and greed of countless cultivators.

Other cultivation families had power behind them, and most cultivators dared not have designs on them.

But that ninth-level Qi Refining rogue cultivator made countless cultivators have ill intentions toward him.

"What? You want to join our Su Family?"

On Liuyun Peak, a Su Family Foundation Establishment Elder was very surprised to hear the words of this ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator.

However, he quickly brought this person to the Clan Leader's side.

"Hmm! Little friend, you are worried that other cultivators will harm you, so I can accommodate you and let you temporarily live on this Liuyun Peak until you take the Foundation Establishment Pill."

Su Wanjun looked at this young cultivator.

He was also very curious about this rogue cultivator who bid on the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Looking at the other party's age, less than forty, and his cultivation had reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining very early. If he were a cultivation family disciple, he wouldn't have been so surprised.

But this person came from a rogue cultivator background, which was not simple.

Not to mention that the other party also bid on the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Of course, the other party was able to bid on the Foundation Establishment Pill by relying on a pile of second-tier high-grade spirit peaches. Outsiders thought this child took out 22,000 spirit stones, but in reality, the other party only took out thirty spirit peaches.

In the end, the Su Family bought them all at a price of 800 per spirit peach.

This price wasn't very high, but the other party didn't object either; after all, such a large quantity was something ordinary forces really couldn't swallow.

And more importantly, other forces might have swallowed him, bones and all.

The Su Family paid a Foundation Establishment Pill and 2,000 spirit stones to take down these thirty second-tier high-grade spirit peaches.

The effect of these spirit peaches went without saying. As a heaven and earth spirit root, the effect of spirit peaches was even above that of the Fire Origin Apricot.

The spirit energy contained in the spirit peaches was indeed not as good as the third-tier Fire Origin Apricot, but it had an effect that was far from comparable to the Fire Origin Apricot.

That was that spirit peaches could increase lifespan, only by five years, but they were still extremely precious.

Precisely because of this, this spirit peach was worth 800, and even this price was still low.

After all, being able to extend lifespan, if placed in Wu State, it was estimated that it could reach 1,000 or even higher. This spirit peach could become one of the main ingredients for Longevity Pills.

Spirit peaches were different from Foundation Establishment Pills. Foundation Establishment Pills were not scarce items in major countries, so the price would be much lower than in small countries like Zheng State, but spirit peaches were scarce items and even more precious.

The greater the force, the more they valued lifespan.

The Su Family's price was only considered standard, but neither side had any dissatisfaction; instead, both were quite satisfied.

The deal ended, but he didn't expect that this person actually had the idea of wanting to join the Su Family.

At the first moment, Su Wanjun and the others thought that this person was just worried about the cultivators outside who were eyeing him covetously for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

So he had no choice but to want to join the Su Family to seek protection.

To this, Su Wanjun did not agree; after all, the other party was not sincerely wanting to join the Su Family.

Su Wanjun said tactfully that they would protect the other party until they took the Foundation Establishment Pill. If the former broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, then with his Foundation Establishment cultivation, the cultivators outside would likely not make a move easily again.

If he didn't break through, then his ending wouldn't be so good. The Su Family was not a charity; protecting him for a while was already benevolent enough.

Clearly, this person was also an intelligent person and understood the Su Family's plan from Su Wanjun's words. He had no dissatisfaction with this.

Both sides were trading, and there had been no personal relationship before. Being able to protect him until he took the Foundation Establishment Pill was already very fair and righteous.

If it were some other forces, let alone giving him a Foundation Establishment Pill, they might have killed him in secret, and no one would have known.

So for the Su Family, Qu Ying-tian still had a very good impression. Of course, the reason he proposed this idea was also because he had his own thoughts.

He was a rogue cultivator and knew the hardships of rogue cultivators over these years, especially in the few years after his master died, it was truly very difficult.

It was also later that he inadvertently discovered a predecessor's cave dwelling and obtained a spirit peach tree, and his cultivation gradually improved, so he reached the ninth level of Qi Refining at only thirty-something years old.

But he knew deeply that this spirit root, the spirit peach, brought him many benefits but would also bring him greater crises. Once discovered, let alone his Qi Refining, even Foundation Establishment wouldn't be able to protect it.

And with spirit peaches but no Foundation Establishment Pill, he couldn't establish Foundation either. He didn't dare to self-establish Foundation.

The Su Family's auction of Foundation Establishment Pills gave him hope. After thinking for a few days, he still risked taking out thirty spirit peaches to trade with them.

He was also gambling that the Su Family, for the sake of their reputation, wouldn't do anything to him.

Now he had won the gamble.

However, the cultivators outside were eyeing him covetously. Even if he succeeded in Foundation Establishment, it likely still wouldn't be safe.

After all, as a rogue cultivator, how could he take out a huge sum of 20,000 all at once?

And once he didn't succeed in Foundation Establishment, it would be even more dangerous. So the best way to protect his life was to rely on a force.

He had also considered the Yunyang Sect, but in such a major sect, the forces inside were complex, and if one was not careful, he would be swallowed up without a trace.

As for other cultivation families, he was an outsider and it was fundamentally difficult to get in.

Only the Su Family was most suitable for him, and the Su Family also recruited people. Moreover, he specifically inquired that some rogue cultivators who joined the Su Family did not receive any unfair treatment and had the same treatment as Su Family disciples.

This showed that the Su Family was also very fair, and such a force indeed suited him.

And he knew that if he wanted to continue to improve his cultivation in the future, relying solely on the spirit peach tree was not so easy.

The effect of second-tier spirit peaches for Foundation Establishment early and middle-stage cultivators was not bad, but for the late stage, it might not be.

And the more spirit peaches one consumed, the less effective they became.

In addition, these second-tier spirit peaches blossomed in ten years, bore fruit in ten years, and matured in ten years; it took thirty years to have thirty-six spirit peaches.

He would need a large amount of resources in the future; relying solely on himself was truly too difficult.

He also wanted to open the Purple Mansion. ===== CHAPTER 506 =====
