C16 Auction 1
After finding out about the auction three days later from the owner of the cultivator's shop, Li Ming decided to find a place to stay in the inner city. Like the outer city, there was also an inn, but this inn was specially prepared for cultivators.
In the inner city, there were only two relatively large Cultivator's Inn s. One was named "The Cultivator's Building", which was opened by the Fine Stone Sect, the strongest power in the Elemental Rock City; the other was named "The Elegant People's Residence", which was opened by the second strongest power in the Elemental Rock City, the City Lord's Mansion. Of course, Li Ming's first choice was the < Elegant People's Residence > that the City Lord's Mansion had opened. As for the reason, it was naturally because he was worried about the Fine Stone Sect.
In the Ascending Stone City, Li Ming had killed all the cultivators in the family of an inner sect disciple of the Fine Stone Sect. Although it was not a long time ago, how could they be sure that the Zhu Family did not have any special means of transportation for the transmission of information? This was a continent that mainly focused on cultivation. It was normal for Immortal Cultivation Clan to have some special methods, thus Li Ming decided to be careful.
However, Li Ming was overthinking things. In the Longevity Continent, in some sects, Immortal Cultivation Clan indeed had special methods to transmit news. However, all of these sects and clans were at least Intermediate Immortal Cultivation Clan s or above. The Zhu Family of the Ascending Stone City was merely a family that couldn't even be considered a small Immortal Cultivation Clan. There would be any special means of sending news there, and even the Fine Stone Sect was only a small sect.
Now, Li Ming had arrived at the location of the [Elegant People's Residence] based on the information he had gathered.
Seeing the《 Elegant People's Residence》, Li Ming couldn't help but exclaim at the extravagance of cultivators. Don't think that this was all there was to < Elegant People's Residence >. This was just the reception hall of < Elegant People's Residence >. On the second floor of this pavilion, he could even have the cultivators here exchange the items they needed. Behind this pavilion was where the Immortal cultivators lived.
Just as Li Ming walked into the pavilion, a level 3 Qi Disciple cultivator dressed in a servant's attire walked out and said respectfully to Li Ming: "Greetings, senior! May I help you?
"Take me to the residential area." Li Ming said without a trace of politeness. Senior naturally has the airs of a senior!
"Senior, please follow me." The waiter said respectfully, and then led the way towards the residential area.
After arriving at the residential area, the attendant that was leading the way in front of Li Ming then said to Li Ming: "I wonder if senior is going to stay in a normal room or a private room?"
"Oh? They were even separated into ordinary rooms and private rooms? I wonder what's the difference? " After Li Ming heard the servant's words, he asked suspiciously.
"Normally, Qi Cultivation stage cultivators live here. They live with the Foundation Cultivator, which is not too rich, for five Spirit Stones per day. The private rooms are usually occupied by the Foundation Cultivator, and the relatively wealthy Qi Cultivation stage cultivators live there for ten Spirit Stones per day. The spiritual energy in the private room was 3 levels higher than that in the ordinary room. Senior, do you want to stay in that room? " After the servant heard Li Ming's question, he respectfully explained.
"Since the spiritual energy in this private room is 3 levels higher than that of an ordinary room, I will stay in this private room!" Li Ming said to the servant. Then, he touched the storage bag with his right hand and took out 50 spirit stones to give to the servant.
The servant took the spirit stones Li Ming brought over and brought Li Ming to the front of a room. Then, he took out a round metal block from his body, which was engraved with runes, and handed it over to Li Ming. He then said: "Please look senior, place this round key in the hole on the door, and we will be able to open the room."
Li Ming took the round key and placed it on the door, and as expected, the door opened.
Seeing that the door had been opened, Li Ming said to the servant: "You may leave, I'll call for you if anything happens."
After the servant heard Li Ming's words, he respectfully said, "Yes, senior. However, I hope that senior can tell me my name so that I can register. "
"Oh? Since that's the case, then remember my name, Li Li. " After taking Li Ming's name, the servant left. Li Ming would never tell his real name to the servant, in Elemental Rock City, he felt that it was better to be safe.
After entering the room, Li Ming looked at the furnishings of the room, and realized that everything was not bad, there was a special pill cultivating room, a weapon refining room, and a cultivation room. On the left side of the door, there was a stone table, and on it was a jade cylinder. Arriving beside the stone table, he picked up the jade cylinder and opened it up using his zhen Qi, discovering that each room's function and usage was written on it.
Li Ming followed the records of the jade cylinder, and placed a Low level spirit stones at a hole above the stone platform. As expected, lines of threads came out from the Spirit Stone, and instantly covered the entire stone platform, and then, the entire room seemed to rise up, but, they could not see it with the naked eye, and could only feel it.
At this time, Li Ming was a little envious of cultivators. Cultivators could use divine intents to sense things while they were still at the Foundation Establishment stage, but warriors had to be at the Postnatal realm to be able to open up Sensory Perception of a Fighter (which was equivalent to a cultivator's divine intents, but was not the same). However, a fighter has his own methods.
Now, Li Ming went into the pill cultivating room in his room, took out the Pill Cauldron and placed it on top of it. After a while, when he felt that his condition was quite good, he took out the ingredients needed to concoct the Small Revitalizing Pellet one by one and started to refine them in the same order he had done in the cave.
In a single night, Li Ming refined a pill! Twenty-eight Small Revitalizing Pellets were obtained.
On the second day in Elegant People's Residence, Li Ming came out of his room very early in the morning. He came this time to see if he could get the things he wanted from the pavilion in Elegant People's Residence.
Arriving at the second floor of the Elegant People's Residence, Li Ming discovered that it was extremely spacious. There were temporary stalls placed everywhere by cultivators and many items placed on it.
After walking for a while, Li Ming came to a stand filled with medicinal ingredients. The stall owner was a middle-aged man who had a level 12 Qi Disciple cultivation. Seeing Li Ming's arrival, he passionately spoke to Li Ming: "Fellow Daoist, what do you need? The medicinal ingredients here are definitely worth it, moreover they will not be taken by you at such a high price. "
At this moment, this man didn't look like a cultivator, but more like a merchant selling his own products. However, the Foundation Cultivator would not be on the second floor. Therefore, the middle-aged man thought that Li Ming had some clever method to hide his spirit energy fluctuation, which was why he called him Dao Friend.
And Li Ming did not know that the Foundation Cultivator would not sell anything here, which was why he came here.
Li Ming did not care about what the middle aged cultivator said, but instead, squatted in front of the vendor and carefully looked at the ingredients on the stall.
Seeing that Li Ming was not paying attention to him and was instead looking at the medicinal ingredients on his stall, the middle-aged man was not angry, and continued to laugh as before: "How is it? Fellow Daoist, do you think the medicinal ingredients I have here are worthy enough for you to look at? "
Li Ming slowly stood up and said, "The medicinal ingredients are not bad, but only a few have aged. In the Longevity Continent, only medicinal herbs that are more than a thousand years old are counted as years)
Hearing Li Ming's evaluation of his own medicine, the stall owner's face did not change as he said, "Dao friend is right, my medicine ingredients here are indeed few in age. However, I dare say that there is nothing better than my herbs here. Fellow should know that medicinal ingredients of an advanced age are extremely rare. Furthermore, some medicinal ingredients such as Scarlet Fruits are also guarded by spirit beasts. As a result, there are even fewer medicinal herbs in the later years. "
"Oh? "My friend, are you sure that there is no better medicine here?" After Li Ming heard the stall owner's words, he knew that there was no need for him to lie, but he still asked.
"Of course, Fellow Daoist, if you don't believe me, you can go take a look." The stall owner said affirmatively.
"No need, since Fellow said so, I believe that Fellow shouldn't lie to me." After hearing the stall owner's affirmation, Li Ming knew that the stall owner in front of him was not lying. Moreover, this was not something that could be tricked with a single sentence, hence he said those words.
"Since Fellow Daoist believes me, then I wonder, what sort of medicinal ingredients do you need?" Hearing that Li Ming believed him, the vendor continued to recommend his ingredients to Li Ming.
Bending his waist to pick out two 500 year old ginseng, 500 year old Ginseng, and some medicinal ingredients to refine the Small Revitalizing Pellet from the stall owner's stall. Li Ming said to the stall owner: "Look, how many spirit stones do you have?"
The stall owner said to Li Ming when he saw the medicinal herbs that Li Ming had taken out from his stall, all of them being medicinal ingredients that had not reached the age of 13: "There is a total of 1,300 Low level spirit stones s. "Does Fellow Daoist not need these aged medicinal herbs?"
"I need some medicinal herbs of the same age, but I don't need these of yours. As for the medicinal herbs that I need, they are all of the same age here." After Li Ming heard the vendor's question, he said helplessly.
"In that case, forget it!" The stall owner was clearly regretful.
"However, I wonder if Fellow Daoist has any Scarlet Fruits for sale?" Or news of the Scarlet Fruit? " Li Ming suddenly said.
"Scarlet Fruit? Fellow Daoist, you think too highly of me. How could a rare medicinal herb like the Scarlet Fruit be owned by the next Qi Cultivating Stage cultivator? Even if you do, it's not something a Qi Cultivating Stage cultivator like me can keep. As for the information, I have one here, but the price …
"Price is not a problem, only the information is accurate. I will definitely not mistreat fellow daoist."
"Fellow Daoist, since you are willing, then I will tell you." "Two days from now, at the auction house, there will be an aged Scarlet Fruit Auction. At that time, we will have to depend on fellow daoist's skills."
"How can you be so sure that two days from now, there will definitely be Scarlet Fruits being auctioned off at the auction house? And it's an older one at that? "
"It's very simple. The one who is auctioning off this Scarlet Fruit is a senior member of my clan."
"Since you're a senior member of Fellow Daoist, could you come to a private agreement with me?"
"I'm afraid that won't do, as the family's senior, I have already passed the Scarlet Fruit to the auction house for appraisal."
"In that case, thank you Fellow Daoist." This is the spirit stone that I just purchased for medicinal ingredients. This is the reward from you for giving me the information you need, Fellow Daoist. Take it! " After Li Ming received the news, he took out the Spirit Stones from the storage bag and passed them to the vendor in front of him. He then turned around and left the booth.
In truth, to Li Ming, the stall owner's information was like a chicken's help. The food was boring and it was a pity to abandon. He had originally planned to go to the auction. However, now that they knew the news, at most they would have made preparations in advance.
In the remaining time, Li Ming looked at the other stalls, and seeing that there were no items he needed, he left the Elegant People's Residence's pavilion and headed towards the auction house. Now he was going to hand over the items he needed for the auction and then wait for the transaction.
However, before the auction, Li Ming still had one thing to do! Right now, all of Li Ming's medicinal ingredients were not kept in the jade boxes, they were directly placed inside the storage bag. This way, it would easily cause the medicinal effects of the medicinal ingredients to decline, thus, Li Ming had to first resolve this problem.
After a while, Li Ming arrived at a small shop. Just as he entered the shop, Li Ming knew that the business inside was definitely not good, because, at this moment, there was only one boss here, and he had a cultivation of Qi Disciple level 12. Seeing Li Ming walk in, the owner welcomed him and said to Li Ming: "Welcome to the store, may I know what you need?"
"I need some jade bottles for medicinal pills and a jade box for medicinal herbs. I wonder how I am going to sell them?" Li Ming replied to him.
"The jade bottles and boxes in the store are only of the low and intermediate ranks. I wonder what rank Fellow Daoist would like?" Longevity Continent was divided into low level, intermediate, high level, top grade, jade bottles and jade boxes.
"I want 15 intermediate jade bottles, 15 intermediate jade boxes, how many spirit stones?"
When the boss heard the amount Li Ming required, he took it out from the storage bag and said to Li Ming: "This is the jade bottle and jade box that fellow cultivator wants. There are a total of six Low level spirit stones. Fellow Daoist, please keep this properly. "
Li Ming did not waste any words, he received the jade bottle and jade box from the shop owner and took out six Low level spirit stones from the storage bag and gave them to the shop owner, then he left!
Right now, Li Ming really wanted to go to the auction house …
