134: Chapter 134: Infant Condensation Pill

After Liu Yiyi withdrew her enchanting technique, she softly revealed a slight smile to the audience below, a smile like the warm sun of spring, instantly melting the hearts of many male Cultivators.

Most male Cultivators once again fell deeply into it, their eyes glazed over, as if they had lost themselves.

Seeing this, Liu Yiyi's eyes subtly flashed with a hint of triumph; she slightly raised her chin and provocatively glanced at Chu Qingluan.

Chu Qingluan, naturally unwilling to be outdone, returned a glare, her eyes full of disdain and annoyance.

"Next for sale is a two-hundred-year-old Vermillion Fruit, which has been authenticated by the Chu Family to be two hundred and five years old.

For a Golden Core cultivator, consuming it can extend their lifespan by at least fifty years; if a Golden Core cultivator primarily cultivates Water or Wood Attribute Cultivation Techniques, it can extend their lifespan even more!

The starting bid is one thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones, and each increment must not be less than ten.

The seller only accepts High-Grade Spirit Stones, please listen carefully!" Liu Yiyi's clear voice echoed through the auction hall, instantly igniting everyone's passion.

"It's finally here, one thousand one hundred High-Grade Spirit Stones!" a Cultivator eagerly shouted.

Wang Bin looked at the two-hundred-year-old Vermillion Fruit, his thoughts drifting back to the previous auction.

He recalled the auction he attended two years ago, where a Cultivator exchanged the root of a two-hundred-year-old Vermillion Fruit tree.

In an instant, a bold conjecture surfaced in his mind.

He speculated that perhaps a Foundation Establishment or Qi Refining Cultivator had accidentally stumbled upon a dead Vermillion Fruit tree.

And next to that dead Vermillion Fruit tree, a young Vermillion Fruit tree had fortunately grown.

The dead Vermillion Fruit tree must have had at least one Vermillion Fruit, wait, this also means that there must be a third-grade Spiritual Vein underground where the Vermillion Fruit tree grew.

After all, only above a third-grade Spiritual Vein can a two-hundred-year-old Vermillion Fruit grow; if it were a fourth-grade Spiritual Vein, the Vermillion Fruit tree would not have died so easily.

As for the Cultivator who previously traded the two-hundred-year-old Vermillion Fruit tree root, Wang Bin guessed that the Cultivator had most likely met with an unfortunate end.

Without sufficient strength to protect such a precious treasure, rashly trading it would undoubtedly be courting death.

As for who put this Vermillion Fruit up for sale now, and why they chose to sell it, Wang Bin couldn't guess.

Furthermore, he himself couldn't afford to buy it; the starting bid was one thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones, and it only accepted High Grade ones, while he only had a total of a dozen High Grade Fire Spirit Stones, all contributed by the Qingluan Bird.

"One thousand two hundred High-Grade Spirit Stones!"

"One thousand five hundred High-Grade Spirit Stones!"

Zuo Wentian directly bid one thousand five hundred; a two-hundred-year-old Vermillion Fruit was a rare find that could not be missed, and though he himself didn't need it for now, he deeply understood its preciousness.

"Two thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones!"

Chu Qingluan also made a bid; as a large Family, the Chu Family naturally had a demand for this Vermillion Fruit, after all, no one wished to face death, and there were quite a few elderly Cultivators in the Chu Family.

As soon as the price of two thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones was announced, the hall instantly fell silent.

It wasn't that people didn't want to increase their bids, but rather that they simply didn't possess that many High-Grade Spirit Stones.

"This old man is willing to bid two thousand and thirty-six High-Grade Spirit Stones, plus this Medium Grade Magic Treasure Spirit Armor on my person.

Defensive Magic Treasures are much more expensive than offensive Magic Treasures, and this is an armor; it can absolutely save one's life at a critical moment!" a decrepit Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator shouted loudly.

Everyone looked over upon hearing his voice, only to see his face full of wrinkles, his eyes filled with a longing and persistence for life, presumably because his lifespan was nearing its end and he was unwilling to simply pass away.

"That Medium Grade defensive Spirit Armor is worth at most four hundred High-Grade Spirit Stones; I bid two thousand five hundred High-Grade Spirit Stones!"

Zuo Wentian didn't care about his life or death; in this Cultivation World, countless Cultivators had passed away, so how could he care about the life or death of this one person.

Upon hearing this, that Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator sighed deeply, the light of hope in his eyes gradually dimming.

Many young Cultivators, seeing this situation, felt a sense of pity but could only sigh helplessly, as their own strength was limited and they were powerless to help.

As the price gradually climbed, Chu Qingluan successfully purchased the Vermillion Fruit for three thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones.

"The last item is the Nascent Soul Pill, a fourth-grade Medicinal Pill that can increase the chances of a Golden Core Breakthrough to Nascent Soul.

Its effect is very clear; the starting bid is one thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones, and each increment must not be less than ten High-Grade Spirit Stones."

Even more people participated in the bidding for the Nascent Soul Pill this time, as it was a crucial item related to breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

Everyone made bids, and the competition was extremely fierce.

Finally, the Nascent Soul Pill was Acquired by a Nascent Soul Cultivator from West Sea City for four thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones.

Wang Bin was also very envious, but he had no Spirit Stones and dared not purchase it.

"This Golden Core Grand Ceremony of the Chu Family has concluded; thank you, Fellow Daoists, for coming."

As Chu Qingluan ascended the stage to express her gratitude, this thrilling day finally came to an end.

As the Secret Realm's portal slowly opened, the crowd began to leave in an orderly fashion.

After receiving their items, Wang Bin and Du Juan also walked out of the Chu Family Secret Realm, but they were surprised to find that none of the Nascent Soul Cultivators had emerged.

The Golden Core and Nascent Soul Cultivators who came from Four Seas City were also nowhere to be seen; it seemed they had important matters to discuss.

However, Wang Bin knew that his cultivation was too low, and he was simply not qualified to participate in the upcoming meeting.

"Alas!"

Wang Bin sighed helplessly, exchanged a glance with Du Juan, and then rode the Spirit Feather Crane down to the base of the mountain.

As soon as they arrived in the outer city, they keenly sensed that the atmosphere in West Sea City was somewhat unusual.

Pedestrians on the streets walked in a hurry, and the usual hustle and bustle were gone, especially since there was hardly a single Mortal in sight.

Wang Bin had originally planned to return directly to White Cloud City, but the unusual situation before him made him change his mind.

It was better to understand the situation first; after all, the Zhong Sheng Sect had actually caused trouble at the Chu Family's Golden Core Grand Ceremony today, and he didn't know how it would be dealt with later.

He should observe the situation before making a decision.

"Alas! Let's go to a shop to inquire about the situation first!" Wang Bin murmured to himself.

Thus, the two arrived at a shop of the Four Seas Commerce League; the journey was desolate, and the past prosperity had vanished without a trace.

When they entered the shop, they were even more surprised to find that the entire Four Seas Commerce League store had not a single customer.

Although the Chu Family was holding a ceremony today, and many Cultivators from West Sea City had gone, it shouldn't have resulted in an empty shop!

"Manager Du!"

"Manager Du!"

"Junior Martial Uncle Senior Uncle Qingmu!" The shop assistants all bowed and greeted them.

Du Juan nodded slightly in acknowledgment, then asked, "What's going on today? How can such a large shop have not a single customer?"

"Manager Du, this morning, explosions suddenly occurred all over Four Seas City.

Then, in the sky and on the streets, propaganda leaflets from a group called the Zhong Sheng Sect were floating everywhere."

At this point, Li Ziqi suddenly lowered her voice, her expression slightly tense.

"The Zhong Sheng Sect promoted equality for all beings on that leaflet, saying that everyone could learn powerful Cultivation Techniques.

Mortals could all possess Spiritual Roots.

Then, two Nascent Soul Elders and over a dozen Golden Core Elders flew out from the inner city.

Along with the city's patrol team, they began to capture the remnants of the Zhong Sheng Sect within the city.

Then, fighting broke out in the city; we don't know the specifics, we stayed in the shop and didn't dare to go out and inquire.

There are adults guarding on the third floor of the shop, so it's very safe; although the Cultivators in the city don't know the situation, they were scared and went back.

The Zhong Sheng Sect's propaganda leaflets on the streets outside were just cleaned up not long ago.

Manager Du, can Mortals really have Spiritual Roots?"
