Chapter 422 - 232: Farewell
Under the night sky, various spells flashed with spiritual light.
The grand gathering of Five Dragons Island.
Even more magnificent and bustling compared to the previous Celestial Profound City.
"Look, even the Fake Pill Patriarch of the Helian Family has arrived."
"Look, that’s the genius from Qingming Island."
"It’s the twin heroes of the Luan family..."
With people coming and going, countless cultivators gathered at the auction of the Long Family on Five Dragons Island.
Among them, Lin Chang’an hid his figure and slipped into the auction hall.
There were Core Formation Cultivators admired by everyone, as well as many envied prodigies.
But Lin Chang’an shook his head secretly, as none of this mattered to him, as long as it didn’t disturb his cultivation.
As the auction began, Lin Chang’an paid little attention and instead focused on the catalog of tonight’s auction in his hand.
Except for a few final treasures, all other auction items were listed in the catalog.
But this catalog was quite expensive, costing ten middle-grade spirit stones.
"These powerful forces sure know how to amass wealth. No wonder even Nascent Soul cultivators, without establishing sects or families, need subordinates. It’s truly convenient."
Admiring them, Lin Chang’an watched as the auction started.
During the event, he used 1,300 middle-grade spirit stones to obtain a comprehensive materials catalog of the Demon Beast Abyss.
It detailed most spiritual ores, spirit grasses, and various exotic treasures from the Demon Beast Abyss.
"Although expensive, it’s worth it."
With the jade scroll in hand, Lin Chang’an scanned it with his divine sense and couldn’t help nodding in approval.
With this item, he wouldn’t waste his efforts when exploring the Yin Spirit Gathering Place in the future.
"After this, Jade Spirit Island matters little to me. In the future, I will likely cultivate long-term in the Yin Spirit Gathering Place."
As Lin Chang’an contemplated his future cultivation site, many cultivators were determined to obtain the last few spiritual objects at the auction.
"What a pity, Core Formation spiritual objects are too conspicuous."
Although not explicitly stated, it was announced that there were Core Formation spiritual objects.
Looking at the less than twenty thousand spirit stones in his storage bag, Lin Chang’an shook his head.
Even if he wanted to bid, he didn’t have enough spirit stones.
"Next, we have Pill Master Jiang’s Crystal Condensing Pill formula. As everyone knows, each Pill Master’s formula varies slightly.
But Pill Master Jiang’s Crystal Condensing Pill formula has a very high success rate, and relying on this skill, as a Tier Three Lower Grade Alchemist, he crafted eight high-quality Crystal Condensing Pills in his lifetime, demonstrating its value..."
As an excited Foundation Establishment cultivator passionately explained this at the auction, the atmosphere was electric.
However, when it was revealed to be a pill formula, most cultivators lost interest.
Few master alchemy, and those capable of crafting these Crystal Condensing Pills are major forces and sects.
These sects and forces have their own unique pill formulas.
This rendered the formula somewhat awkward.
"A Tier Three Crystal Condensing Pill formula, along with Pill Master Jiang’s detailed insights before his passing, starting at six thousand middle-grade spirit stones! Each increment must be no less than three hundred!"
The addition of insights piqued the interest of several major forces.
After all, the wisdom of others can enhance one’s own skills.
"Six thousand five hundred middle-grade spirit stones!"
"Six thousand eight hundred middle-grade spirit stones!"
As bids came in, Lin Chang’an decided to join in.
This was something valuable, and it even included insights he didn’t want to miss.
The price soon reached nine thousand middle-grade spirit stones, causing several forces to opt for observation.
"Nine thousand three hundred spirit stones! Is there anyone else? Any fellow daoist? Nine thousand three hundred middle-grade spirit stones once! Twice! Three times, sold!"
With the sound of a gong, the item was secured.
There were no hitches; the major forces lacked interest in such items.
"Nine thousand three hundred spirit stones, it really was expensive!"
Feeling the pinch, Lin Chang’an paid and placed the jade scroll with the pill formula into his storage bag.
The high cost of the formula was mainly due to the Pill Master’s insights.
"I don’t have extra spirit stones for purchasing Tier Three talisman inheritances now."
Lin Chang’an shook his head; yesterday, he had traded a Tier Three Yin Spirit Beast King’s demon core for a Tier Three Wood Attribute Demon Pill and elixirs.
He also bought various materials essential for his usual cultivation in the Yin Spirit Land.
This had already depleted his resources.
"Currently, there aren’t many spirit stones left in my storage bag. It’s best to save some for emergencies."
Besides, he’s heading to the Yin Spirit Gathering Place, not hunting Tier Three Demon Beasts.
"Moreover, the three major markets in the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea hold Golden Core cultivator trading events. As long as I have spirit stones, there are plenty of opportunities."
Right now, everything is in preparation for Core Formation; he doesn’t want to waste time.
Lin Chang’an treated the rest of the auction as an experience, watching until it reached the final few items, entering the most fierce competition phase.
Normally aloof Core Formation cultivators would even argue heatedly for their juniors.
Fake Pill spiritual objects are rare.
As the event concluded, Lin Chang’an merged with the crowd, leaving the auction and contacting Hu Jin.
The two wasted no time and headed straight back to Jade Spirit Island.
Having fulfilled their purposes, with little spirit stones left, sticking around was just for entertainment.
While normally it would be fine, right now Hu Jin was also focused on preparing for Core Formation, unwilling to waste time.
Lin Chang’an couldn’t forget Yun Yao’s reminder.
