Chapter 15 That is respect, gratitude, and awe!

Genres:Martial Arts and Xianxia Last update:25/03/23 21:10:03
    After several seconds of pandemonium on the field, a voice that couldn't hold back the excitement of his heart suddenly emerged. The speaker was an irregular cultivator.

    "Five hundred spiritual stones!"

    "Eight hundred!"

    "One thousand two, I'm from the Drizzle Cave. I hope all the fellow cultivators will give me a favor."

    It seems strange no matter how you look at it. Buying a grade eight spiritual material with 1200 spiritual stones.

    Is the water jade really that valuable?

    Yu Lou blinked his eyes, and Wang Xian Mao naturally knew what he wanted to ask.

    "We live in the territory controlled by the Red Lanterns, and their disciples mainly cultivate fire magic."

    The value of water jade lies in the fact that it is a water-based spiritual material, and the treasures crafted from it can break through fire magic.

    Yu Lou only realized then that the value of water jade isn't because spiritual stones are cheap, nor is it because it has extraordinary potential.

    From those eagerly bidding for immortals.

    Yu Lou saw their respect for the Red Lanterns, their gratitude, and their awe.

    They're scared!

    They hate

    They are... angry!

    They want to buy water jade!

    Finally, the Jiu Baobian, a guardian cultivator, took out a grade eight water jade. It finally reached 1400 spiritual stones before it was bought by an unknown irregular cultivator.

    What does this price mean?

    That's ten times! Compared to slightly inferior grade eight spiritual materials, the price of water jade is ten times higher!

    The Red Lanterns, so fearsome!

    From the final sale price, Yu Lou also understood the Red Eyebrow Layman's attachment to the shattered water jade bead—it's quite valuable.

    Or, in the territory of the Red Lanterns, where fire magic is the main cultivation method, it will always be valuable.

    ————

    The feast of the Ghost Market auction was initiated by Jiao Baoxian, but the real climax began after the Red Eyebrow Layman took the stage.

    Let me introduce the extreme low-end youth version of the Multi-Pot Sage.

    "Fellow cultivators, having the opportunity to meet here is destined. Red Eyebrows will not be stingy."

    Today, I have brought four exquisite magical artifacts!"

    The Red Eyebrow Layman took out three little flying knives from his storage bag and introduced them.

    "My own forging of the lower-grade attack and destruction magic weapon, with a base of ninth-grade cold ingot iron."

    Although they only have 4 layers of restriction, if used properly, their attack power is not inferior to ordinary mid-grade magical artifacts."

    If it can be said that Jiao Baoxian threw out a rare grade eight water jade just after opening the auction, it is a shock.

    Then, the Red Eyebrow has brought a shock to everyone that is completely opposite – the exact opposite.

    He is really black!

    "The Red Eyebrow, do you have the audacity to bring out a lower-grade magic weapon with four layers of restrictions?"

    "That's right, get out of here!"

    "Lower-grade magical artifact, no one would even want to give it away as a gift!"

    "If I'm not mistaken, the handle of your flying knife is longer than the blade itself. It's a bit excessive in terms of cost-cutting, isn't it?"

    The audience below burst into a chorus of barking.

    The Red Eyebrow doesn't waste any words. He directly raises a flying knife and aims it directly at the host, Old Ghost.

    I'll kill you, you son of a turtle! Let you sell my daughter a rat like the finest marten!

    Old Ghost is an intelligence dealer, and being able to land the role of host for the ghost market auction is proof that he's no pushover.

    He raised his hand and a soil wall spell directly blocked the flying knife.

    "Fellow cultivator, how powerful is the attack of this flying knife?"

    The Red Eyebrow collected the flying knife and asked with a smile.

    "Very good, indeed. It is made of ninth-grade cold ingot iron. This one is too small for you..."

    Old Ghost naturally knows the Red Eyebrow. He helped him to cover up with a black face.

    He had just been shot by a flying knife from the Red Eyebrow, and now he was turning around to kiss the Red Eyebrow's feet so professionally and seriously.

    This is a great professional spirit.

    "Three flying knives, starting with fifty spiritual stones each. The first one, anyone interested?"

    Fifty spiritual stones for a lower-grade magical artifact made of cold ingot iron!

    The looks of the cultivators in the audience towards the Red Eyebrow were all off.

    Brother, it's our barking that was too loud earlier. I apologize.

    You've just driven down the price of the cold ingot iron magical artifact!

    "Sixty!"

    The Red Eyebrow smiled and it was done.

    "One hundred!"

    One hundred and it covers the cost!

    It's going to be profitable!

    The Red Eyebrow hurriedly held back his laughter with all his might, his face tense, for fear of becoming too proud and attracting misfortune.

    After selling three monkey-made lower-grade magical artifacts, the Red Eyebrow brought out his real deal for today.

    "Mirror Silver Gold Silk Shield——Upper-grade defensive magic weapon, 26 layers of restrictions!"

    It is based on three pieces of ninth-grade mirror silver, with one piece of ninth-grade spiritual gold woven and carved, and an eighth-grade black steel core inside.

    Mirror silver can self-heal from general attacks. Eighth-grade black steel can also stop strong attacks.

    Even with the Merit Hall of Red Lanterns, you might not be able to trade it for a better defensive magic weapon within it!

    Two thousand spiritual stones, everyone should do as they can afford it~"

    If it can be said that the Red Eyebrow who tried to sell the three monkey-made magic weapons just now looked like a clown.

    Now, he is the dream lover in the hearts of all irregular cultivators.

    What's wrong with three hundred catties?

    The Red Eyebrow's weight is not fat. Every two catties of him is his strength!

    That's too mean, Red Eyebrow Dao Friend!

    "Two thousand two!"

    "Two..."

    The cultivators in the arena began to bid, but Wang Xian Mao smiled lightly.

    Red Eyebrow, Red Eyebrow, even selling your secret reserve defensive treasure, you really are preparing for foundation-building!

    "Three thousand spiritual stones, this mirror silver shield is very good. Our Gu Family will take it!"

    Everyone was surprised that even the foundation-forming cultivator who came to command the auction would open their mouths to grab something.

    After the second elder of the Tea King Gu family bid, no one dared to bid further.

    However, bidding 3000 spiritual stones for a high-grade magic weapon is actually quite expensive. It's not strong-arming or bullying.

    Generally speaking, a high-grade magic weapon can be purchased for 1000 spiritual stones. This is simply because the shield is not only a treasure of defense but also uses various spiritual materials and contains a total of 26 layers of restrictions, which makes it so expensive.

    ——————

    The Ghost Market Auction has ended, and Wang's naturally didn't buy anything, but sold a lot of things instead.

    The family has its own business and inheritance. Many rare things that scattered cultivators may have only dreamed of can be produced by Wang's family.

    "Ancestor, I don't understand. Why can a qi refining period cultivator enhance their cultivation speed with elixirs, while we at the qi gathering period cannot?"

    Yu Lou is truly curious. According to his observations, the elixir system in this world is quite complete.

    But qi gathering period cultivators can only use elixirs to breakthrough the bottleneck and other assisting elixirs, they can't use any direct elixirs to improve their cultivation level.

    This is very strange.

    "A long time ago, qi gathering period cultivators could use elixirs to enhance their cultivation progress."

    "After you reach the qi refining period and read the secret records prepared by the family for the qi refining period disciples, you will naturally understand."

    Wang Xian Mao smiled and answered.

    Yu Lou nodded lightly and didn't ask any further.

    It's better to become a qi refining cultivator first, and the meaning of the ancestor is very clear.

    "Why is that, ancestor?"

    Yu'an, it has to be Yu'an.

    "Ha ha ha, alright, I'll tell you for now, but don't tell anyone else."

    The resources in the heavens and earth are limited. If the speed of qi gathering period cultivation is not suppressed, too many resources will be occupied by qi gathering period cultivators.

    If qi gathering period cultivation is promoted, more qi refining cultivators and foundation-forming cultivators will emerge, and many things will become troublesome.

    About 1000 years ago, the great cultivators of the heavens and earth joined hands to change the rules of heaven and earth, and it has been like this ever since.

    Our ancestors in the Wang family were already in the Red Lanterns back then, so they recorded this event.

    Many of the newly emerged families and small clans over the past few hundred years don't know about these secrets.

    The great cultivators of the heavens and earth joined hands to change the rules of heaven and earth.

    As if entranced, Yu Lou unconsciously and repeatedly masticated this sentence.

    From it, he felt an unknowable majesty, a great emotion that cannot be described.

    Change heaven and earth!

    A cultivator should be like that!

    A real barking sound interrupted Yu Lou's daydreams and aspirations.

    "Get away from here!"

    Scattered cultivators? They're just beggars!

    The brothels in Qingxi Pavilion are more understanding of etiquette than you!

    The Merit Hall of the Red Lanterns is coming right now. You sleeping on the streets is deliberately spoiling the grand celebration of Qingxi Pavilion!

    Get out! Otherwise, I'll beat the living daylights out of you!"

    At the gate of Fu Yuan Jiu, Gao Xian was waving the spirit-ensnaring rope, cracking and whipping the scattered cultivators by the corner.

    Recently, there have been too many scattered cultivators flooding into Qingxi Pavilion, causing rents for various shops and residential courtyards to rise.

    Many poor scattered cultivators choose to lie on the street corner and wait for the arrival of the Merit Hall.

    As the man responsible for maintaining law and order in Qingxi Pavilion, Gao Xian naturally dislikes seeing these poor bums tarnish the image of Qingxi Pavilion.

    That's why he's beating them with the rope so fiercely, just short of sparking a fire.

    If you ask these scattered cultivators why they didn't wait outside first, waiting for the Red Lantern Merit Hall's foundation-forming cultivators to arrive before entering...

    "Sir, Sir, we have paid the entry fee to the pavilion!"

    "Who knows if you've paid or not! If you can't afford the houses, get out! Don't tarnish the appearance of Qingxi Pavilion!"

    Gao Xian is part of the patrol. The people who collect the entry fee at the gate have nothing to do with him.

    If these poor scattered cultivators affect the image of his master Jiang Baobian in front of the great foundation-forming cultivation in Zi Fu, Gao Xian will be in a lot of trouble!

    Upon seeing this scene, Wang Xianmao casually cast a spell to disguise their figures, covering himself and the two young boys.

    Wang Xianmao walked with Yulou and Yuanan to ensure they could clearly see the ugly face of this Red Lantern Merit Hall outsider.

    Then, the ancestor asked.

    "Yu Lou, Yuan An, what do you think should be done about this matter?"

    Yu Lou's eyebrow furrowed, realizing that the situation was very complicated.

    If "unsimple" had a level.

    Then, the ancestor's seemingly casual question is the highest level.

    Because, unintentional is a special attitude, under certain circumstances, it has the reverse distinctiveness.
