But Lin Aoxue was about to be choked to death by the spirit stones, and she was now calculating how much money she had consumed.
"Hey, this, this, one Huitian Pill costs 10 billion spirit stones. Then how many spirit stones have I consumed? Let me calculate. I have consumed no less than ten pills during my years of training outside. Tsk tsk, even if I calculate billion spirit stones, why do I feel that this treatment is unique in the world?" Lin Aoxue said in a daze.
"Hahaha, almost, almost, but, Aoxue, what I want to tell you is that the cost of Huitian Dan is very low this time, so, you don't have to worry too much." Ye Liuyun said with a strange smile.
Lin Aoxue was curious, so she quickly asked Ye Liuyun about the cost of these pills. When she learned the true cost of these pills, Lin Aoxue was shocked.
"Oh my God? Aren't you blackmailing them? If they knew that the cost of your pill was less than a thousand spirit stones, they would eat you alive." Lin Aoxue was scared.
"Oh! My alchemy skills are unique in the world. They can't crack the formula of my medicine. Besides, as long as the effect is good, what does it matter how much it costs? I won't talk to you anymore. Let me take a look at this Glazed Cold Jade Body and see if it is really useful." Ye Liuyun picked up the Glazed Cold Jade Body and began to read it.
Lin Qingyou was also sitting nearby watching, and at the same time explaining to Ye Liuyun why this secret method was useful to Ye Liuyun.
To practice this secret method, one needs at least the level of cold air comparable to a hundred years of ice. Of course, it does not necessarily have to be a hundred years of cold air. Cold air that is stronger than a hundred years of cold air is also acceptable.
Absorb the cold air, condense a cold spring in the body, and then inhale the cold air into the cold spring, and eventually let your body turn into cold jade, so as to control part of the power of the cold air. The higher the level of cold air absorbed, the stronger the Glazed Cold Jade body will be.
This secret method was almost tailor-made for Ye Liuyun, because Ye Liuyun's immortality was enough to allow her to withstand any level of cold.
However, this secret method is not activated by magic power, but by the amount of cold air stored in the body. Generally speaking, it becomes less each time it is used, and a large amount of materials containing yin and cold air are needed to replenish it.
This body-refining technique is simple, but for most female monks, it is basically daunting.
"Tsk tsk, this body refining technique is amazing. Master, I'm very curious. When you created this Eternal Green Technique, didn't you think about these things?" Ye Liuyun asked curiously.
"Ah? Hey, this? This was created by my master after he became an immortal. I am not suitable for practicing this thing, so naturally I did not develop the effect of this technique too much. The effect of this technique still depends on you to develop and perfect it. It's a long way to go." Lin Qingyou smiled awkwardly.
But her hesitant tone made it obvious that she was lying.
"Eh? Eh! Every time I hear you say this, I feel like a test subject." Ye Liuyun complained.
Looking at Jin Xiangrui again, she no longer had the mind to pay attention to the auction. Instead, she returned to her room and took out a special magic weapon, which was a mirror. She released her magic power to activate the mirror, and soon ripples appeared on the mirror surface. Not long after, a beautiful woman emerged.
"Xiangrui, if you have anything to say, come to me." A charming voice came from the mirror.
"Aunt, Rui'er has something important to tell you." Jin Xiangrui looked at the other party excitedly and said.
The auction was still going on, and Ye Liuyun learned from Lin Aoxue that in fact, the best things in this auction were what the four major sects were competing for.
They took a look at the finale items. The three finale items were a Tribulation Pill, a treasure map, and a book on the secrets of the Four Extremes.
What Yunxia Sect wants is the Tribulation Pill, because this pill is what Yunyan needs most at the moment. What is the benefit of this Tribulation Pill? It can allow the Taoist Palace Out-of-Body Realm Peak cultivator to save his life in the event of a failed Tribulation.
What does it mean? If a Taoist monk fails to pass the tribulation and break through the four extreme secret realms, he will die. However, if he takes the tribulation pill in advance, he can increase the chance of breaking through. Even if he fails, he can save his life and break through again after recuperating for a few years.
This thing can be said to be something that all the peak Taoist monks who have reached the out-of-body state in the Dao Palace need, or it can be said to be a necessary elixir.
The four lower-level sects will definitely do their best to fight for this pill.
As for the treasure map and the Four Extremes Secret Realm Method, the value of these two things may be lower.
After reading the records of the secret method, Ye Liuyun laughed. This secret method is really worth it.
"Liuyun, we have so many spirit stones, can you help my master get a tribulation pill?" Lin Aoxue suddenly spoke after seeing Ye Liuyun finish reading the secret method.
When Ye Liuyun heard this, she nodded without any hesitation, but after nodding, she said again.
"Of course you can, but Aoxue, I don't think it's necessary to buy this thing, right? I still have a elixir that can save our master from the calamity." Ye Liuyun said.
Lin Aoxue's eyes lit up. She knew that Ye Liuyun still had a lot of rare and strange elixirs in his hands. If that was the case, there was no need for their Yunxia Sect to fight for these things.
However, it was difficult for them to say it. What reason should they use to stop Yunxia Sect from buying the Tribulation Pill? Obviously, there was no reason, unless Ye Liuyun's ability to refine medicine was exposed.
So after thinking about it, they still can't avoid wasting this money.
Since the auction would last for three days, in order to pass the time, Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue basically meditated and practiced in the private room while waiting for the things they wanted to come on stage.
The first day of the auction ended just like that. On the second day, Ye Liuyun bought a book called Book of Ten Thousand Beasts, which is a book on how to practice the art of driving beasts. The beast driver is a combat secondary profession.
For a normal practitioner, being able to control a war beast is great. Of course, it is definitely not just about driving the beast, this book also records how to raise a spiritual pet.
There are some sects in the cultivation world that specialize in the art of driving away beasts, and their combat power is quite strong.
Not only the method of driving away beasts, in the afternoon Ye Liuyun also bought a book of magic talismans, which is a method of drawing talismans. These two books of secondary professional methods cost Ye Liuyun about 500 million spirit stones. Then he bought a set of female armor for Lin Aoxue. This armor is expensive. Armor is almost the most expensive of all cultivator equipment, and the cost is also the highest, starting at tens of millions of spirit stones. The armor Ye Liuyun bought is a top-grade spiritual weapon, which cost nearly 2000 million spirit stones.
Today, an elder from Jin Xiangrui's family finally arrived at Wanbao Tower.
"Aunt, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time. It is this pill, the Life-Rescuing Pill." A beautiful woman dressed similarly to him appeared in Jin Xiangrui's room.
This woman is the beautiful lady that Jin Xiangrui contacted yesterday.
This person is Jin Xiangrui’s biological aunt, Jin Yunlan, a cultivator from the Four Poles Secret Realm. She is currently serving as the branch manager of a cultivator market in a medium-sized sect in Nanling.
Wanbaolou has a strict class system, and Jin Xiangrui can only contact her aunt, and then she needs to report to the higher levels.
Jin Yunlan took the box containing the Huitian Pill and opened it. She was also shocked when she saw it. Even though she was a cultivator in the Divine Soul Realm of the Four Extreme Secret Realm, she had never seen a three-patterned pill in the area under her jurisdiction.
“Such a rich breath of life, Xiangrui. If this elixir can really wake up the ancestor, then you will be a great contributor to our direct lineage.” Jin Yunlan put away the elixir, then patted Jin Xiangrui on the shoulder and said.
"Aunt, this medicine must be sent back to the headquarters quickly. The guest is also waiting for the result. By the way, you must not let anyone else know. It can only be sent back to the headquarters through our direct family members." Jin Xiangrui instructed.
"Don't worry, I understand. By the way, you have to treat the young man who sells the elixir well. If there is a very mysterious alchemist behind him who is worthy of our Wanbao Tower to win over, I think we can use some extraordinary means when necessary. You should understand what I mean. This is the final destination of our Jin clan women, you must seize the opportunity." Jin Yunlan said earnestly, and then left.
But when Jin Xiangrui heard this, her face turned red and she looked a little shy.
She knew what her aunt was referring to.
The Jin clan taught their family members that interests are paramount. If the other party is valuable enough, they should be won over at all costs, even at the cost of sacrificing themselves when necessary.
Jin Yunlan became a Taoist partner with a powerful priest in the family, but it would be better to say that they were playthings rather than Taoist partners.
Jin Xiangrui thought about it, then changed into some elegant clothes and makeup to meet Ye Liuyun.
She could see that Ye Liuyun didn't like her disguised appearance. The image disguised by means of tricks was fake after all. If she wanted to get closer to people, she had to be more practical.
After dressing up carefully, Jin Xiangrui came to the private room where Ye Liuyun was.
"Mr. Ye, I have asked someone to send the pills back to the headquarters. We should get a reply in three days at most." Jin Xiangrui, wearing a light gold dress, came to the private room where Ye Liuyun was again.
When Ye Liuyun saw that the woman had changed her clothes and appearance, he immediately muttered something in his heart.
"What's going on? How come she changed her image after just one day of not seeing her? Is this her true appearance?"
Of course, Ye Liuyun still acted very calm, but Jin Xiangrui was indeed much more pleasing to the eye like this. Although Jin Xiangrui was very attractive in the red dress, that was pure desire, not real feeling.
Lin Aoxue immediately became alert. Women are very sensitive to such changes. When a woman dresses up to meet a man, it is self-evident what she wants to do.
"What is this vixen trying to do? Is she planning anything evil?" Lin Aoxue murmured.
"Really? That's good. Let's do it as soon as possible. It would be best if we can confirm the effect of the pills on the day the auction ends, so that I can leave with peace of mind. As for our other transactions, I can only say that I will send a batch of pills every year, but it's hard to say when they will be delivered to Wanbao Tower. Just make sure there is enough." Ye Liuyun said with a smile.
"Hmm? There is no problem with this. However, Mr. Ye, are you a cultivator from the Liuyang Mountains? You don't have to tell me your specific identity." Jin Xiangrui asked.
"Haha, I can guarantee this. I am indeed a cultivator in this area. As for my identity, you will know it when the time comes." Ye Liuyun replied.
When she talks to people, she speaks half truth and half lie. She can't tell all the truth, but she can't tell all lies either.
Jin Xiangrui asked a lot of questions, but she could tell that even if the questions she asked were not important, Ye Liuyun would not answer her casually.
This made Jin Xiangrui feel helpless, but there was nothing she could do. At least Ye Liuyun was willing to chat with her.
Jin Xiangrui failed to achieve her purpose this time and had to return empty-handed.
After she left, Lin Aoxue immediately pounced on Ye Liuyun with bared fangs and claws, and pressed Ye Liuyun under her body.
"I'm so angry. Can't you see that this woman has ulterior motives? You said so much nonsense to her in front of me. How come one wife is not enough and you want to start a harem?" Lin Aoxue asked fiercely.
"This? Cough cough cough, oh, don't be so angry. She doesn't know my identity. If she knew my identity, she would definitely have no interest in me. Besides, for better cooperation in the future, conversation is inevitable. Don't be so sensitive." Ye Liuyun smiled awkwardly.
"Bullshit, I don't know what you're thinking?" Lin Aoxue rolled her eyes and then let go of Ye Liuyun.
Today has passed again and it will soon be the last day of the auction.
The protagonists of this last day are the four major sects and those sects that have the top monks in the Taoist Palace. The rest of the guests can only play supporting roles.
However, after a fierce battle, the Tribulation Pill was finally bought by the Yunxia Sect, the treasure map fell into the hands of the Zixia Sect, the skills of the Four Extreme Secret Realms were taken away by the Xixia Sect, and only the Yanxia Sect got nothing.
The main reason is that they suffered heavy losses during this period, and the spirit stones they can produce are not as good as those of the Tianfu Sect and other sects.
The auction ends here, but Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue still have to wait one night, and they can only leave here at least tomorrow.
At the same time, in Donglinzhou in the human world, in a magnificent building complex, a middle-aged man in a golden robe quickly entered an underground palace.
This underground palace was heavily guarded. He opened one formation and gate after another and finally arrived at a stone chamber. Inside the chamber was an ice coffin filled with cold air and an old man was lying in the coffin.
"Ancestor, I'm sorry." The middle-aged man took a deep breath, then opened the coffin and took out a small box from his hand. Inside the box lay a beautiful pill.
This pill is exactly the Huitian Pill that Ye Liuyun sold to Wanbao Tower.
The middle-aged man stuffed the pill into the old man's mouth. As he forced the pill into the old man's body with his force, it didn't take long before a strong breath of life began to permeate the old man's body.
The middle-aged man's eyes were filled with golden light, and he was using his Dharma eyes to observe the changes in the old man's body.
"This? It really works. That's great. Our direct lineage has been suppressed for so many years and finally has hope of turning things around." The middle-aged man said excitedly as he watched the old man gradually recovering his physical condition.
About half an hour later, the old woman who had been sleeping for a thousand years slowly opened her eyes, and a terrifying will also permeated her eyes.
Chapter 209 Set off again
Back at Wanbao Tower in Silent City, as the auction came to an end, the guests who had attended the auction also left Wanbao Tower one after another.
But tonight in the Silent City, there was an ominous atmosphere everywhere.
Disciples from the four major sects also frequently patrolled various places in the city in the form of teams. Whenever the Wanbao Tower auction ended, it would be the busiest period for the four major sects.
Today, there are several times more monks in Silent City than in the past. Most of them gather around Wanbao Tower, staring at its gate.
If you look closely, you can see murderous intent in these people's eyes.
They were intentionally or unintentionally fixing their eyes on the guests leaving Wanbaolou. Their eyes were like a hungry wolf selecting its prey.
After the Wanbaolou auction is over, there will definitely be a few participants who will be unlucky. Of course, if they are smart enough and don't leave Silent City immediately, or are careful, then those monks with ulterior motives will be powerless even if they have ideas.
I am afraid of meeting some careless people or those who are not afraid of tigers.
"Master, what's going on with those people? I feel like they have bad intentions."
A sect disciple who followed the sect elder was very sensitive to the gazes of these people.
This kind of look is not something that cultivators like them who have been practicing in the sect for a long time can have. It is a look of bloodthirsty desire.
"They are just a group of hungry wolves. I guess Silent City and its surrounding areas will be busy again these days." The female monk's master said disdainfully.
As the guests of Wanbao Tower left one after another, the monks who had gathered at the entrance of Wanbao Tower also began to disperse.
By the way, don’t ever think that you are absolutely safe in the city.
Even if you stay in the inn tonight, you may not be 100% safe.
The monks who are not at a high level and do not have many companions around them are the ones who need to be most careful.
Let’s talk about Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue. The two of them were staying in the private room with boredom and had not left. Ye Liuyun had bought several books on secondary occupational skills. Although he didn’t learn all of them, he did read through them all.
She suddenly discovered that her elixir, which could make wild beasts and monsters develop self-awareness, might be able to be used in conjunction with the method of driving away beasts.
However, the most difficult thing to learn is the formation. Since Ye Liuyun's own magic power is shallow, it is difficult for him to construct a formation by his own strength. There are two ways to set up the formation. The first is to use external materials containing energy, such as spirit stones.
The second method is to use the cultivator's own power to set up the formation, but this is a great test of the cultivator's control over power, and has extremely high requirements for soul power. However, Ye Liuyun is definitely able to meet the soul power requirements.
As for the problem of insufficient strength, other methods are needed to make up for it. In fact, these secondary occupations can complement each other. Refining equipment can refine treasures that can store spiritual power or magic power, and then release it when needed.
The more Ye Liuyun watched, the more interested she became. However, for now, all this was just a presentation in her mind, and it was still unknown whether it could be actually realized.
On the other side, Jin Xiangrui was walking back and forth in the room anxiously. It had been two days. According to her estimation, the things should be delivered to the family today. If they were effective, they should be conveyed to her tonight.
"Why is there no news yet? Regardless of whether it works or not, there should be a reply, right?" Jin Xiangrui murmured, and then she looked out the window.
In this anxious waiting, the sky gradually changed from night to day, and several hours passed. Mainly because the auction ended very late, at eleven or twelve o'clock in the evening.
And those monks who participated in the auction also had their troubles.
This was a group of monks from a small sect. As the inn was full, they did not dare to return to the sect that night, so they found an empty alley on the street and planned to stay there for the night.
"Brother, is it safe for us to live here? I feel like the atmosphere today is not right." A female monk said fearfully.
"There are people everywhere, and the four major sects have increased patrols, so nothing should happen. If we leave Silent City overnight, it would be very dangerous." Another female monk dressed in men's clothing spoke up.
It is obvious at a glance that it was a male before.
But just as they were talking, they heard a series of sinister and strange laughs in their ears.
"Jie Jie..."
Before they could react, a cloud of black gas rushed in from outside the alley and submerged the six people in an instant.
This black air came quickly and went away quickly.
