From Family Fisherman to Water Virtue True Immortal-Chapter 208 - 203: A Million Spirit Stones

Foundation Establishment Pill!

Li Quanqing looked at the auction stage at the pill the size of a dragon’s eye, pure white as jade, exuding fragrance, and was extremely astonished in his heart.

He had never expected that the auction would directly put such a precious treasure first on the list for auction!

Li Kunlun was also stunned, finding it unbelievable that Cold Chi Immortal City was being so generous this time.

Starting with a trump card!

While the two were still dazed, the atmosphere in the auction hall below had already been completely ignited.

Facing the temptation of the Foundation Establishment Pill, countless Qi Refining cultivators began to scramble for it, almost like they had gone mad, struggling with blood boiling and eyes red with greed.

Besides these Loose Cultivators and small clans, those Foundation Establishment forces all remained calm, coolly watching the heroes below fight over the pill.

"Thirty thousand low-grade spirit stones!"

Soon, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator could not hold back and began bidding, wanting to add another powerful Foundation Establishment warrior to their clan, directly pushing the price up by a large margin.

Li Kunlun also joined in, watching helplessly as the price soared, ultimately having to give up.

"Too expensive..."

He couldn’t help but reveal a bitter smile, filled with helplessness in his expression.

"No, it’s that we are too poor."

Li Quanqing also revealed a bitter smile; the Li Family had risen in strength too recently, and their foundation has not accumulated enough.

In the end, this Foundation Establishment Pill was raised to the price of fifty thousand low-grade spirit stones, expensively outrageous.

If it were within Shuihua Sword Sect, one could buy one with thirty thousand stones.

Unfortunately, this is Cold Chi Immortal City, where Foundation Establishment cultivators are not rare and can completely be considered a place where money is spent like water.

The auction continued, and as expected of an event held only once every few decades, a variety of precious items and treasures kept appearing.

Second Rank elixirs, Foundation Establishment cultivation skills, precious Spiritual Artifacts, high-quality talismans, etc., were presented in turn, making most Foundation Establishment cultivators envious.

Of course, the most popular items, aside from the Foundation Establishment Pill, were various Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects.

"The next item up for auction is a bottle of Heavenly Fire True Evil, born in the deepest part of the purest Fire Attribute Spirit Vein, cultivated for a thousand years before formation. Fire Spirit Root Daoists, please don’t miss this opportunity!"

Li Kunlun, hearing this auction item, immediately perked up.

Li Quanmo has a Fire Spirit Root, and Li Quanyi has a Water Spirit Root; this time he must bring back at least two Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects for them.

In the end, he bid successively, securing the Heavenly Fire True Evil for eighteen thousand spirit stones.

With a Spiritual Object in hand, even Li Quanqing couldn’t help but sigh with relief.

The grand auction would last a total of five days; after the Heavenly Fire True Evil, a high-grade Flying Sword Spiritual Artifact was auctioned, and the first day of the auction ended.

In the following days, Li Kunlun continued to bid and finally succeeded in purchasing a Black Water True Evil for Li Quanyi’s use.

Finally, the last day of the auction arrived, and it was undoubtedly the most explosive moment.

Apart from the Jiedan Spiritual Item, Heavenly Fire Crystal, three more Foundation Establishment Pills unexpectedly appeared on the auction scroll.

"What a grand gesture!"

Li Quanqing stroked the scroll, unable to help but voice his admiration.

Cold Chi Immortal City was too generous; perhaps an Alchemy Master had a breakthrough, so that’s why they put out a whole four Foundation Establishment Pills.

Like in Shuihua Sword Sect, every time they alchemize, they begrudgingly keep everything within the Sect, not willing to share a single Foundation Establishment Pill with the forces under their command.

"With so many Foundation Establishment Pills, shall we buy one?"

Li Kunlun spoke solemnly, touching the Storage Bag at his waist, carrying all the family’s spirit stones for this trip.

Therefore, he had sufficient confidence to buy a Foundation Establishment Pill; he was determined to obtain it.

Li Quanqing hesitated for a moment: "Shouldn’t we wait and see that Heavenly Fire Crystal? Maybe we have a slight chance!"

Even multiple Foundation Establishment cultivators can’t compare to the deterrence of a single Golden Core True Master.

"I don’t like to face the truth, but in reality, I’m afraid even if we sold both of us, we probably couldn’t afford this Golden Core Spiritual Item."

Li Kunlun smiled bitterly.

Although the Li Family now leads over two great seas, it is still far too impoverished, with resources and Spirit Stones needing to be submitted to the Shuihua Sword Sect, leaving only a small portion for their own use.

If it weren’t for the destruction of the Situ Family before, earning a huge profit, they wouldn’t have the confidence to purchase Foundation Establishment Pills.

Li Quanqing pondered for a moment but still agreed with his idea.

As the last day of the auction began, the entire auction house went wild, with every Cultivator frantically shouting their bids.

Li Quanqing couldn’t help but feel envious as he watched the boiling frenzy of the Cultivators, wishing his family’s auction house could also achieve such an effect.

With the appearance of three Foundation Establishment Pills one after another, the grand auction undeniably reached its true climax.

Li Kunlun seized the opportunity and snatched the first Foundation Establishment Pill with over 46,000 low-grade Spirit Stones!

He understood human nature well, knowing that the difficulty of auctioning the three Foundation Establishment Pills would only increase, so he deliberately pushed the price to 40,000, taking the first one with great determination!

As expected, by the time the third Foundation Establishment Pill was up for auction, the various Cultivators were so agitated that they almost came to blows, with the final transaction closing at nearly 60,000 Spirit Stones.

"The family’s reserves of Spirit Stones brought out this time are probably almost exhausted."

Li Quanqing thought to himself but buying these two Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects and one Foundation Establishment Pill, in total, cost over 80,000 low-grade Spirit Stones.

Amid the attention of the masses, the Golden Core Spiritual Item [Heavenly Fire Crystal] finally made its slow entrance.

Within layers of Arrays, a small fiery-red crystal was brought onto the auction stage, with golden flames burning fiercely, releasing an indescribable oppressive aura.

"So small..."

Li Quanqing sized it up for a moment, the crystal wasn’t even as large as the pad of his finger, leaving him somewhat speechless.

"After all, this is a Core Formation Spiritual Item, exquisitely rare and scarcely seen in the world, the final transaction price will surely astonish you."

Li Kunlun smiled faintly, enjoying the appearance of the younger generation who hadn’t seen much of the world.

"One piece of Core Formation Spiritual Item, its value is precious indeed, no need to say more, the starting bid is 100,000 low-grade Spirit Stones!"

The auctioneer’s words seemed like a signal, suddenly, the presence of Foundation Establishment Cultivators filled the entire auction house.

Those Qi Refining cultivators, completely eliminated, didn’t even have the qualification to bid.

"The starting bid is already 100,000..."

Li Quanqing touched his Qiankun Bracelet, unable to suppress his amazement, as all the treasures he owned combined were barely more than this figure.

Indeed, there turned out to be many wealthy Foundation Establishment Cultivators, especially in Cold Chi Immortal City, where over a hundred various Foundation Establishment Families were stationed.

The price of the Heavenly Fire Crystal directly soared from the initial low-grade Spirit Stones to mid-grade Spirit Stones, common among Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

Finally, the auction price locked in at an astronomical figure.

10,000 Mid Grade Spirit Stones!

That is, a full one million low-grade Spirit Stones!

Li Quanqing’s expression was somewhat numb.

This wasn’t even something as powerful as a Five Elements Golden Core, it was just the most common and ordinary Core Formation Spiritual Item.

Or perhaps half of one, since the volume of this Heavenly Fire Crystal was really too small, infuriatingly so.

Even so, it still broadened his horizons.

"How does it feel?"

Li Kunlun’s eyes twinkled with mirth; in his youth, he too had had the privilege of witnessing the auction of a Core Formation Spiritual Item [Mystic Water Essence].

It was even more intense than this occasion, and after the auction had ended, over a dozen battles between Foundation Establishment Cultivators erupted, making it exceedingly chaotic.

"It’s too expensive, I’d rather try advancing to Core Formation on my own..."

Li Quanqing exhaled a heavy breath, discarding the thought of personally attempting to purchase a Core Formation Spiritual Item.

Golden Finger, I’m counting on you now!

After the auction ended, naturally, they had no desire to stay in Cold Chi Immortal City any longer.

They took the initiative to find Mu Daoist, ready to undertake the mysterious mission mentioned earlier.
