Chapter 712: Each Has Gains, Returning to the Family (Please Subscribe)
Throughout the entire auction, there were not many things worth Song Qingming's attention. In his spare time, he wanted to search for Feng He's figure in the crowd, but he didn't see anyone similar to him.
I don't know if he knew that there would be nothing he needed in the first day's "auction," or if he deliberately hid his identity.
After all, besides cultivators from major sects like Song Qingming, there were also many Core Formation loose cultivators who were unwilling to reveal their identities in front of others. Song Qingming also found it difficult to judge whether there was Feng He among those who deliberately covered their figures.
On the second day of the auction, the "Star Gate" finally took out many spirit items that could make everyone's heart move, and there were many pills that assisted cultivators in breaking through cultivation.
Pills like "Foundation Establishment Pill" and "Jade Dust Pill," which were hard to find in the workshop, were taken out by the "Star Gate" in one breath to be auctioned together, and even "five-element spirit items" that assisted in Core Formation appeared several times.
Seeing this, Song Qingming and the others also took action one after another to compete with the many cultivators present for these precious spirit items.
Besides spirit stones, this kind of auction at the "Star Assembly" also accepts cultivators using various high-level spirit items to exchange for spirit stones.
Coming out this time, although Song Qingming didn't bring many spirit stones, he also brought high-level medicinal herbs worth more than a hundred thousand spirit stones. Facing these precious spirit items appearing in front of him, he naturally wouldn't miss them.
Song Qingming's cultivation had reached the late stage of Core Formation, and he was not short of magic treasures, cultivation techniques, and the like. Coming to the Wu Kingdom to attend the "Star Assembly" this time was mainly for the Core Formation spirit items.
After a fierce competition, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan took action one after another.
They auctioned three "Jade Dust Pills" and two "five-element spirit items," and also harvested two Foundation Establishment Pills, spending nearly seventy thousand spirit stones in one breath.
Such a generous performance of the two also made Chu Fengping and others beside them cast very surprised looks at them one after another.
During the beast riot, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan harvested materials from several monster kings, and the Song family also harvested many low-level monster materials in "Jinshan Workshop." Chu Fengping and the others naturally knew that the Song family had made a small fortune in this beast riot.
They were not too surprised that Song Qingming could take out seventy thousand spirit stones in one breath.
What surprised the Carefree Sect group somewhat was that Song Qingming and the other would be willing to spend so many spirit stones to buy "Foundation Establishment Pills" and spirit items to assist in Core Formation, instead of using them to exchange for pills and spirit items needed for their own cultivation.
Although these Core Formation cultivators earn spirit stones relatively easily, the resources needed for their cultivation are far from comparable to those of Foundation Establishment cultivators. Tens of thousands of spirit stones are not a small amount for them.
Although Chu Fengping and the others could also take out many spirit stones, they must prioritize the needs of their own cultivation, and only then would they consider supporting their Dao companions and those younger relatives who were closer.
A Core Formation ancestor like Song Qingming who is so generous and willing to spend so many spirit stones on family juniors is indeed rare in the cultivation world.
Seeing the Foundation Establishment juniors who came with Chu Fengping and the others cast envious looks at their side, Song Qingming didn't pay too much attention.
Now that it was finally relatively wealthy, having the opportunity to buy these important spirit items for the family's future development at the "auction," he naturally wouldn't miss it easily, and it would save him from spending energy searching for these things in the future.
As for Song Qingming and their own cultivation, there are still spirit items worth hundreds of thousands of spirit stones in the family, and there is no shortage of cultivation resources in the short term, so it will naturally not be delayed.
On the second day of the auction, besides Song Qingming, the number of times other members of the "Carefree Sect" took action also increased.
Zhang Tieyang, who was attending the "Star Assembly" auction for the first time, also took action at the auction and took down a "Foundation Establishment Pill," intending to keep it to cultivate one of his younger descendants.
Now the Zhang family where Zhang Tieyang is located, although it was just established not long ago, only has more than ten cultivators.
However, with Zhang Tieyang, a Core Formation ancestor who is in the middle of the day, and the Zhang family now having obtained "Iron Immortal Fort," the best spiritual vein in the northwest of the Wei Kingdom, the family will slowly develop and grow sooner or later.
Since Zhang Tieyang had the idea of establishing a cultivation family, he naturally had to find ways to cultivate his younger descendants. Otherwise, when he, the ancestor, is not there in the future, the Zhang family will definitely not be able to keep the spiritual vein of "Iron Immortal Fort," and if it doesn't go well, there will be a disaster of extermination.
Besides Song Qingming and Zhang Tieyang, the other elders of the "Carefree Sect" were not so interested in these Foundation Establishment and Core Formation spirit items.
Although Xu Ziyan and Fang Baixuan were attending the auction for the first time, they were very well prepared when they came. Both spent a lot of spirit stones to buy a high-level pill spirit item to improve their cultivation.
Li Wutong and Chu Fengping did not see pills suitable for their own use, but each took down a magic treasure and a spirit talisman of not low quality.
Only Zhao Mengling was single-mindedly looking for the healing pills she urgently needed. It was a pity that they did not appear in the auction for two consecutive days, so she could only return to "Guyang Pavilion" somewhat disappointed.
As the sun set and the sun rose, a new day arrived, and the "Star Assembly" auction finally reached the exciting last day.
On the third day of the "auction," the Star Gate finally took out all the precious spirit items prepared for the auction, and the quality of the spirit items was significantly higher than the first two days.
As soon as it came up, the first item taken out for auction was a very rare third-level high-grade flying sword magic treasure.
Although this magic treasure was only a flying sword with relatively average quality, it was slightly worse than the two high-grade magic treasures on Song Qingming's body.
However, a third-level high-grade magic treasure could be said to be a rare spirit item that was hard to find in the Fuyun Mountain Range cultivation world. The moment it was taken out, it immediately caused a commotion at the auction site.
The many Core Formation cultivators sitting on the second floor saw the appearance of this flying sword and focused their attention on the stage one after another. Including Song Qingming, at least half of the people tried to bid.
Only a small number of cultivators whose cultivation had reached the peak of Core Formation were unmoved when they saw this item. Obviously, they were still aiming for the final pressure-bearing spirit item of the "auction" and were not very interested in this kind of third-level high-grade magic treasure.
In the end, this third-level high-grade flying sword did not disappoint the "Star Gate" people and was auctioned for a high price of forty-six thousand spirit stones, falling into the hands of a loose cultivator at the sixth level of Core Formation.
After this person obtained this precious magic treasure, he soon disappeared from the auction site and didn't even participate in the subsequent auction.
Although he didn't get this magic treasure, seeing the "Star Gate" take out such a precious spirit item at the first item, Song Qingming not only didn't feel disappointed, but looked forward to the subsequent auction even more.
Sure enough, as Song Qingming thought, not long after, another high-level spirit item that made him even more moved was taken out.
"Fellow Daoists, this spirit fruit is a Jade Heart Fruit that my Star Gate spirit garden can only get one in a hundred years. As long as it is a Core Formation cultivator, swallowing this item raw can save at least ten years of hard cultivation."
"This item is not seen on the market at ordinary times. This time it was also specially taken out by the sect's Supreme Elder to thank everyone for coming from afar to attend the auction. I hope everyone will not miss this rare opportunity."
Hearing the "Jade Heart Fruit" placed in the middle of the auction, which could increase the magic power of a Core Formation cultivator's ten years of hard cultivation, Song Qingming's eyes were immediately attracted.
After the auction host started to call out the bid, the many Core Formation cultivators at the scene immediately started to compete for this item, and even Chu Fengping and Li Wutong called out their bids separately.
Song Qingming did not participate in a hurry this time. It was not until the price of the "Jade Heart Fruit" rose to twenty thousand spirit stones and seeing that not many people were bidding, that he participated in the competition halfway.
In the end, Song Qingming relied on the fact that he was not short of spirit stones and spent twenty-eight thousand spirit stones to get this item at a premium.
Although the final auction price had clearly exceeded the value of this "Jade Heart Fruit" by quite a bit, Song Qingming didn't feel too distressed. After all, this kind of spirit item useful to late-stage Core Formation cultivators was hard to find in the Fuyun Mountain Range.
If it weren't for this kind of "auction," even if you had enough spirit stones at ordinary times, it would be very difficult to buy one.
After obtaining the "Jade Heart Fruit," a smile appeared on Song Qingming's face. No matter how the subsequent auction went, he obtained this spirit fruit today, which could be considered a gain in this auction.
Seeing Song Qingming successfully obtain the "Jade Heart Fruit," Chu Fengping and the others beside him were also somewhat envious and immediately congratulated Song Qingming.
Before the group could chat for a while, another spirit item was immediately taken out on the auction stage, attracting everyone's attention.
"Third-level middle-grade recovery pill, this pill has some miraculous effects on cultivators recovering their dantian. If there is any fellow Daoist who happens to have damaged their dantian because of fighting with others or breaking through cultivation, then this pill cannot be missed."
Hearing that it was a high-level pill useful for dantian healing, Zhao Mengling, who had been sitting aside for several days without any movement, immediately opened her eyes wide and locked her gaze on the pill on the stage.
"Congratulations, Senior Sister Zhao, this pill is useful for dantian healing, then it must belong to Senior Sister!" Before Zhao Mengling could speak, Xu Ziyan immediately congratulated her with a smile.
Seeing this, Zhao Mengling also nodded excitedly, and after the bid started to be announced below, she immediately joined the competition for this item. I thought that this kind of healing pill would rarely be needed by anyone.
What Zhao Mengling didn't expect was that as soon as the "Recovery Pill" started to be competed for, the price was quickly raised to twenty thousand spirit stones. In the end, she gritted her teeth and bid nearly thirty thousand spirit stones to take down this pill.
Although she got what she wanted and bought a medicinal pill that could help her injuries, Zhao Mengling also paid a great price this time. Not only were the spirit stones she brought almost used up, but she also borrowed a few thousand spirit stones from Xu Ziyan temporarily.
In the subsequent auction, Li Wutong and Chu Fengping also didn't make the trip in vain, each taking down a spirit item that helped improve cultivation. Xu Ziyan also auctioned a third-level middle-grade magic treasure of good quality, and everyone had gains.
Soon the auction was coming to an end. Just as everyone was guessing what treasure the "Star Gate" would take out as the pressure-bearing spirit item this time, a gray spirit wood wrapped in some black energy, which looked not very conspicuous, suddenly appeared on the auction stage.
"This is a fourth-level spirit wood!"
When everyone saw this gray spirit wood at first, they didn't understand it. After a while, a Core Formation cultivator with sharp eyes sitting on the second floor shouted in surprise, attracting everyone's attention.
"I didn't expect it to be a fourth-level spirit item! The Star Gate is really willing this time, even taking out things of this level." Seeing the gray spirit wood on the stage, Li Wutong, who was sitting aside, also sighed immediately.
"The uses of this kind of spirit wood are relatively single, and it can only be used to refine fourth-level magic treasures or flying boats, puppet beasts, and other spirit items. The Star Gate does not have a fourth-level refiner, and it is indeed of no great use to hold it themselves.
It's better to auction it directly through the Star Assembly. Not only can it attract many Core Formation cultivators nearby under the guise of a fourth-level spirit item, but it can also successfully deal with this item at the auction. They also have a good plan."
Seeing the gray spirit wood in front of her, Xu Ziyan shook her head with a smile, but after a while, she saw the intention of the "Star Gate" doing this.
However, a fourth-level spirit item is not an ordinary thing after all. Although everyone knows that holding this item themselves is of no great use now, many people still had a heart-moving look in their eyes.
In any case, this is a fourth-level spirit item useful to Nascent Soul cultivators. If you auction this item and take it to a large-scale cultivation world like "Donghuang Kingdom," you might have a chance to find a senior cultivator who needs this item, and maybe you can exchange it for a spirit item useful for condensing the Nascent Soul.
After this fourth-level spirit wood appeared, those Core Formation peak cultivators sitting on the second floor who had no movement at the beginning also rubbed their hands and had movement, preparing to take action to compete for this item.
Not only the Core Formation cultivators above, but the many Foundation Establishment cultivators below were also very excited when they saw such a scene, sending out bursts of shouts.
Even if most of the cultivators present knew that this fourth-level spirit item taken out by the "Star Gate" must be very valuable and not something ordinary people could participate in bidding, the atmosphere at the scene was still very hot.
After all, it was a rare scene that many people had never seen such a precious spirit item in their entire life of cultivation. Even if they couldn't participate in the competition at this moment, they didn't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime grand scene.
Among the "Carefree Sect" group, except for Li Wutong, who was representing the sect and was still somewhat moved by this fourth-level spirit item, the others had long lost the idea of competing for this item and were all watching from the sidelines, preparing to watch the excitement.
Although Song Qingming brought a lot of spirit stones and had some qualifications to compete for this item, he was not very interested in this spirit item and did not choose to bid, just quietly observing the entire auction site.
In the end, the price of this fourth-level spirit item did not disappoint the people present, rising all the way to a sky-high price of 120,000 spirit stones before falling into the hands of a mysterious cultivator wearing a bamboo hat.
This person didn't take much action from the beginning of participating in the auction, but suddenly snatched this item from the hands of many Core Formation cultivators at the end, which also shocked many Core Formation cultivators present.
After the "auction" ended, Song Qingming and the others, who had some gains, stayed in "Seven Star Workshop" for two days and soon set off together to return to the sect.
Having auctioned so many spirit items at the "Star Assembly," everyone was very happy. Although they didn't take the sect's large flying boat on the return journey, the road was very smooth, and they returned to the Wei Kingdom in less than a month.
A few days after Song Qingming and his group returned to "Mount Funiu," Zhang Tieyang took the initiative to come to the door and handed the prepared monster core and auxiliary medicinal materials to Huang Siyuan.
To refine this furnace of pills, Zhang Tieyang had also been prepared for a long time, and for fear that there would be any discrepancies when Huang Siyuan refined the pills, he specially brought many more auxiliary medicinal materials.
The pill Zhang Tieyang needed to refine had reached the third-level middle grade. Although the pill formula and medicinal materials were all complete, Huang Siyuan's pill refining level was currently only third-level low-grade. The success rate of forcibly refining this kind of high-quality pill would generally not be very high, and there would be a small probability of direct pill refining failure.
Before refining the pill, Huang Siyuan also took the initiative to explain these problems to Zhang Tieyang and was willing to bear the losses after the pill refining failed together, but she also added a condition that after the pill refining was successful, she must also copy a copy of this third-level middle-grade pill formula and keep it for her own use.
Zhang Tieyang didn't seem to care too much about this. As soon as Huang Siyuan finished speaking, he immediately bowed and agreed.
After all, this pill refining was something he took the initiative to ask for help. Besides Chu Fengping, Huang Siyuan's pill refining level was already one of the best in the Wei Kingdom. If she was not willing to take action, Zhang Tieyang would not be able to find a suitable person to help for a while.
The reason why Huang Siyuan was willing to help was mainly aimed at the third-level middle-grade pill formula in the other party's hand.
Over the years, although Huang Siyuan helped "Heavenly Pill Alliance" refine many spirit pills, every time she refined high-level spirit pills, the pill formulas she obtained were limited and could not be refined privately.
The contribution needed to exchange for high-level pill formulas in the alliance was also very huge. For so many years, she didn't have a few third-level or higher high-level pill formulas in her hand.
At that time on the flying boat, after seeing the third-level middle-grade pill formula in Zhang Tieyang's hand, Huang Siyuan was immediately moved. Now that the two reached an exchange, it could be considered that each got what they needed.
After taking this pill refining task, Huang Siyuan soon began to meditate and refine pills in the Song family's Pill Refining Pavilion.
Back then, after Song Qingming went to the "Donghuang Kingdom" cultivation world, Huang Siyuan advanced to a third-level pill refiner not long after.
To facilitate her own and family cultivators' pill refining, she didn't need to run to "Mount Tuoyun" every time she refined high-level spirit pills.
Huang Siyuan and Song Qingyu looked for a long time, and finally specially invited a second-level "Spirit Explorer" from the sect to help, and only then found a middle-grade fire vein of good quality on "Mount Funiu" and led it to the family's "Pill Refining Pavilion."
Since then, for these decades, all cultivators of the Song family refining pills or refining tools have basically been able to be self-sufficient, and the two skills of family cultivators have also been significantly improved.
Besides Huang Siyuan, the third-level pill refiner, the Song family also has Song Yuanqian and Song Xuanqing, whose pill refining skills have also been improved to above the second level, among which Song Yuanqian, who has better talent, has successfully broken through to a second-level middle-grade pill refiner.
In terms of tool refining, although the Song family does not yet have a tool refiner above the third level, they have also cultivated four second-level tool refiners, among which the one with the highest level, Song Yuanfang, has successfully advanced to the second-level high-grade level not long ago.
The third-level tool refining furnace obtained by Song Qingming and Song Qingyu exploring the Nascent Soul cave dwelling in the Yue Kingdom back then has now come in handy and was placed directly in the family's "Tool Refining Pavilion" to help family cultivators refine tools.
Besides pill refining and tool refining, after so many years of development, the Song family's other skills such as talisman making, array formation, and spirit planting have also been improved quite a bit.
Currently, the family has inherited above the second level in several important cultivation skills such as pill, tool, talisman, array, and spirit planting, and its foundation in this regard is not worse than ordinary Core Formation families in the cultivation world.
Besides the family's progress, Song Qingming's own talisman making and array formation skills have also been improved quite a bit after returning from the "Donghuang Kingdom" cultivation world.
Song Qingming's talisman making technique has been promoted to third-level low-grade for many years, and he could have tried to improve to third-level middle-grade long ago, but he has been busy with cultivation all these years and has not had many high-level talisman making materials on his body, so he has not been promoted successfully.
After this beast riot, he obtained many high-level monster materials. As long as he is willing to spend some time, it will be a matter of course for his talisman making technique to improve to third-level middle-grade.
In terms of array formation, after successfully refining the third-level middle-grade "Spirit Gathering Array" before, Song Qingming had already advanced to a third-level middle-grade array master.
His array level in the "Carefree Sect" is now one of the best. Except for the Sect Master Bai Yuxian, he is the array master with the highest level in the sect currently.
This trip to the Wu Kingdom, although he obtained many pills and spirit items, the gain that Song Qingming was most proud of was the third-level high-grade "alchemy jade stone" that Feng He gave him.
This item is the key spirit item to repair the third-level high-grade "Heavenly Gang Five Elements Array" on Song Qingming's body. After obtaining this thing, Song Qingming already has great confidence in repairing this array.
After Huang Siyuan went into seclusion to refine pills, Song Qingming also entered the seclusion cave dwelling not long after, meditating and practicing while trying to repair the "Heavenly Gang Five Elements Array" in his hand.
The "Heavenly Gang Five Elements Array" is a magic array with very outstanding defensive ability among third-level high-grade arrays. This array can even resist the attacks of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators in its heyday.
Since seeing the power of this "Heavenly Gang Five Elements Array," Song Qingming has been thinking about it. For these decades, he has been searching for ways to repair this array everywhere, just wanting to have a defensive means that can deal with the attacks of Nascent Soul cultivators.
And for Song Qingming, who has already cultivated to the late stage of Core Formation, the role of the "Heavenly Gang Five Elements Array" is far more than these.
