Although the Heavenly Saint Sect's immortal cultivation skills are not bad, they are extremely unevenly distributed, Lin Xiao controls the formation and the two skills of talisman making, but he is entangled in mundane affairs, and he can't spare much time to refine the formation and draw the spirit rune, and Li Muxue also has high-level alchemy and spirit planting skills, but he basically only cares about alchemy.

Therefore, a truly full-time technician is equivalent to only one formation mage Xu Zhongsheng, and Bai Xixi is not a real full-time alchemist, after all, there is still hope for her path, so she is not addicted to alchemy.

After Lin Xiao gave the order, the Dao Gang cultivators of the Heavenly Saint Sect began to set off a study fever, and in this craze, two more years easily passed.

Two years later, the Dao Fruit Tree matured, and only one Dao Fruit was produced for the first time, and after Li Muxue took it off, he immediately prepared for retreat, and the auxiliary materials of Dao Ji Dan had been collected all these years, and they had already been prepared.

The refining time of Dao Ji Dan is longer than that of ordinary pills, plus Li Muxue's first refining, so he is extremely cautious, and it was not until three months later that Li Muxue came out of the customs, and finally refined four Dao Ji Dan, which is already a long time for Li Muxue, according to her previous estimate, there should only be three.

Lin Xiao immediately made a decision to divide the Dao Ji Dan, according to the rules, one of them was used as Li Muxue's reward, two of them were put into the sect for the disciples to exchange, and the other was for auction.

Lin Xiao's decision caused an uproar within the Heavenly Saint Sect, and the disciples of the Purple Mansion suggested one after another, begging Lin Xiao not to auction the Dao Ji Dan, and now there are more than a dozen monks on the twelfth floor of the Purple Mansion of the Heavenly Saint Sect, and they are not enough, and in the end, even the Dao Gang monks have come to intercede.

For this reason, Lin Xiao specially convened a high-level meeting to explain to them the reason for doing so, since Tianyun Prefecture was out of the control of the Pure Yang Palace, freedom is freedom, but the external environment has deteriorated.

The Eclipse Kingdom is too far away from Tianyun Prefecture, and there is a gap between the Pure Yang Palace and the Cang Kingdom, if you want to trade, you have to take a detour, and the Pure Yang Palace has secretly ordered Tiannan Prefecture and other states and counties bordering Tianyun Prefecture to curb the development of Tianyun Prefecture, and the Cangguo side has also been in repeated difficulties, so the development of the Baicheng business has not advanced or retreated over the years.

The reason why there is no problem in terms of financial resources is because there are savings before, and the Lingshan that has been occupied over the years has begun to produce, so it is reasonable.

However, if the Heavenly Saint Sect wants to develop rapidly, it is inseparable from the assistance of various high-level spiritual objects and spiritual materials, these high-level spiritual objects and spiritual materials need to be purchased from other places, there is no stable trade route, and it is neither safe nor cost-effective to rely on personal carrying, or smuggling, so the Heavenly Saint Sect must reopen the trade route.

And Dao Ji Dan is an opportunity, the Heavenly Saint Sect wants to take this opportunity to tell the surrounding forces that the Heavenly Saint Sect has the ability to refine the Dao Ji Dan, which is unique to the surrounding countries, according to the exploration of the night owl, the strength of the entire Nanzhou that can refine the Dao Ji Dan is no more than ten, and most of them are concentrated in the two countries of Qi and Qin.

It's not that they don't have a skilled alchemist, but because Dao fruit trees are scarce, and the sects with Dao fruit trees have already spontaneously monopolized them, and they will never be sold out, and they are extremely tightly protected, and if Lin Xiao hadn't exchanged them from the system, he wouldn't have gotten the Dao fruit trees at all.

It is precisely because of this that Dao Ji Dan is extremely precious, and Dao Gang Monk is a high-end combat force around Lu State, and the number of Dao Gang Monks has somewhat affected the balance of power of the entire country.

And at this time, the forces of Chunyang Palace and Cangguo have to think about how to deal with Tianyun Prefecture, whether to suppress Tianyun Prefecture or take the initiative to make friends.

And Lin Xiao predicts that it will definitely be the initiative to make friends, the reason is very simple, in the previous battle, Tianyun Prefecture has already shown enough strength, especially the real mode of the system, the strength is as high as the twelfth layer of spiritual light, even if two or three spiritual light monks come to attack, they can bring a few together to die together, unless the other party has a divine void period monk.

And the Divine Void Period monks have to be only available in the Song Kingdom, and it is impossible for the Song Kingdom to attack Tianyun Prefecture for the sake of Dao Ji Dan, and it is better to spend more money to buy a treasure like Lingying chalcedony, they have enough reserves of Purple Mansion monks, even if it is a one-third success rate, they can afford it.

Since they want to befriend Tianyun Prefecture, they don't dare to embarrass Tianyun Prefecture anymore, otherwise the Heavenly Saint Sect can completely remove them from the auction qualifications, and if they have more Dao Gang cultivators from hostile forces, then they will be in danger.

The reason has been made clear, but everyone is still unacceptable in terms of reason, most of the Purple Mansion twelve-layer monks are around one hundred and twenty or thirty years old, if they can't grab Dao Ji Dan this time, then forty years later, they will have one hundred and sixty seventy, and in front of the rules of the sect, they will have no share.

In this way, they can only use Lingying chalcedony or Xuanhuang Baoyu, and the success rate of these treasures is about thirty percent, which greatly increases the danger, no one thought that they would have to take such a big risk at this time, so there are still a lot of complaints in private.

For this reason, Li Muxue specially came out to relieve Lin Xiao, and was willing to hand over the Dao Ji Dan under her name to the sect, as long as one million merit points, so as to calm everyone's grievances.

But this result made Lin Xiao very dissatisfied, in his opinion, these newly promoted Purple Mansion monks are too ignorant, if the external situation does not change, no matter how many Daogang monks are useful, there are not enough financial resources, how to cultivate those newcomers?

It's just that now Lin Xiao doesn't have the time and energy to change these things, otherwise Lin Xiao would have to toss the sect again, and he thinks life is too good, right?

With the news that the Heavenly Saint Sect was going to auction Dao Ji Dan, all the major forces were shocked, and news came one after another that they wanted to participate in this auction.

For this reason, Lin Xiao announced many rules, such as the power of the major sects to come to the auction can only be auctioned by Daogang monks, and Lingguang monks will not be accepted, if anyone enters the territory of Tianyun Prefecture, it will be regarded as an invasion, so don't blame the Heavenly Saint Sect.

As compensation, if the monks who take pictures of Dao Ji Dan, Tianyun Prefecture will guarantee their safety in Tianyun Prefecture, and when the time comes, several Dao Gang monks will be sent to the border of Tianyun Prefecture, and they can notify their elders to respond.

If you want to break through in Tianyun Prefecture, the Heavenly Saint Sect will arrange for Lingshan to give them a retreat, and you can also send people to protect the Dharma, of course, this is a fee, and the specific cost will be discussed.

The Dao Ji Dan auction is completely a seller's market, the seller has the final say, even if those forces are dissatisfied, they can't resist, because if they resist, they will be driven away by the Heavenly Saint Sect, and they will lose a lot.

At the same time, the entire Gongming City is also actively making preparations, and the major merchants are saving the supply of goods, preparing to make a lot of money at the auction, after all, it is impossible to sell only one Dao Ji Dan in the entire auction, and the rest of the things are also wanted.

The auction scheduled for three months later, a month in advance, there will be forces to send people to come, it is estimated that there are also reasons to investigate the Heavenly Saint Sect, and now the intelligence departments of various forces can't enter, but this kind of spies on the surface can't be stopped, you can't help but let people enter Gongming City.

Gongming City was overcrowded again, and it had begun to be crowded, so that some low-cultivation casual cultivators began to spread outside the city, and Zhang Mingtang and Lin Xiao suggested that Gongming City should be expanded.

Lin Xiao has also agreed to this matter, Tianyun Prefecture is equivalent to semi-independence, so there must be a place similar to the Holy Land of Cultivating Immortals, which will become the spiritual sustenance of the monks of Tianyun Prefecture, as well as the distribution center of various materials, and Gongming City at this time is obviously too small.

For this reason, Lin Xiao also deliberately convened people to design for more than a month, and got the new Gongming City design drawing, Gongming City will be expanded on the periphery again, and a huge city with a length of 15 kilometers and a width of about 10 kilometers will be built, which is beyond the level of Yujing City, and can accommodate two or three hundred thousand monks at that time.

In fact, Lin Xiao originally wanted to learn from the town construction of the previous life and adopt the layout of high-rise buildings, but this suggestion was denied by everyone, their reason was privacy and security, the monk cultivating immortals is a very private matter, all kinds of exercises, martial arts and secret techniques, must be kept secret, so the resident monks will choose the kind of small courtyard, the kind with the front and back rooms and walls, and they can also arrange their own formations.

If you get a high-rise building with more than ten floors, you will definitely not go to live in it permanently, the mainstream immortal cultivation world does not accept this kind of architectural pattern, Lin Xiao didn't insist too much on this, but he felt that it was a pity to have this kind of land utilization, if it was according to his ideas, it would not be unusual for Gongming City to accommodate millions of people after expansion.

The expansion of Gongming City was not so easy to handle, because according to preliminary calculations, it would cost thirty or forty million Xuanjing to do so, in fact, it may exceed fifty million Xuanjing, which is equivalent to all the income of the Heavenly Saint Sect for more than ten years, and it is impossible to make a rash decision at all, so we can only take care of this auction first.

The population of Gongming City has skyrocketed, which is a very serious challenge for public security, especially with the arrival of many second generations, it is impossible for everyone to be smart, and there are many stupid fools, so Lin Xiao mobilized many people to guard, and often appeared in Gongming City to patrol.

As the auction period approached, the heavyweights of the major forces began to arrive one after another, and there were more and more people who asked to see Lin Xiao, and their purpose was all the same, that is, to ask the Heavenly Saint Sect if there was any surplus Dao Ji Dan for sale.

Several sects in Tianyun Prefecture have asked about this, but Lin Xiao did not give a positive answer, he did not agree or refuse, and the Heavenly Saint Sect did not have any extra Dao Ji Dan to see the planting of Dao fruit trees, not long ago, Li Muxue got some roots and transplants from this tree, I don't know if I can live a few pieces, and the disciples of this sect must be the first to be satisfied.

Because there were so many merchants participating in the auction, the Heavenly Saint Sect turned the auction into three days, one per day, so that the rest of the merchants would also make a fortune.

This made many forces who came to participate in the auction decide to open stores in Gongming City, after all, Gongming City has already shown its potential, and the transaction volume in Xiuxian City, where at least 10,000 people are present every day, is extremely large.

Soon, the auction began, the first two days were a grand gathering of low-level disciples, the Heavenly Saint Sect still took out a lot of treasures, even the Kaifu Dan also took out five auctions, and the third day was the auction of the Dao Ji Dan, and there were hundreds of monks above the Purple Mansion alone.
