Volume 1: Forsaken Land Chapter 35: Tsukidan

After dealing with the affairs of the Snake Courtyard on the third day, Kong Laosan came here early, the inner disciple trade lasted for three days, and the last day was a small auction, although there are not many spirit stones on Kong Laosan's body now, it is good to be able to increase some knowledge.

When Kong Laosan came to the valley, he was a little stunned to find that he had not come early, now there are more than 300 people here, and it is still increasing, unlike in the past, today it is very lively, all kinds of soundproofing prohibitions have been removed, the whole scene seems to be extremely chaotic, while the auction has not yet started, some stalls seize this opportunity to sell their own things.

Kong Laosan also wandered around with interest, a large open space has been cleared around the valley, and there is an extra stone platform, which looks very rough, on the stone platform, a white-haired and white-bearded, seemingly young old man is slowly sipping tea, a boxy mahogany table in front of him, completely ignoring the noisy surroundings, with a detached bearing.

Kong Laosan also noticed the old man, and the other party seemed to disdain to hide his true face, so he was recognized by many people, listening to the discussions of these inner disciples around him, Kong Laosan figured out the identity of this old man.

The old man in front of him is surnamed Li Mingyuan, he is the oldest one among the inner disciples, the peak of the ninth layer of qi refining, although he is only one step away from breaking through to the foundation building realm, but this is this step, Li Yuan has been trapped here for more than 30 years, and now he has no hope, almost every year the inner disciple auction is presided over by this Li Yuan, and his reputation in the inner door is quite high.

Half an hour later, after the number of people in the valley was about the same, Li Yuan slowly got up, glanced around, coughed lightly, and before he could speak, the surroundings had completely quieted, and his eyes were focused on Li Yuan.

"Hehe, thanks to all of you, this inner door auction will be hosted by the old man, everyone is the same door, the old man will not say much if it is redundant, presumably everyone knows the rules very well, as long as there is a good thing in the hand, although the stage has a try, but the time is limited, everyone's time can not exceed a cup of tea, and I hope you will bear with me, below, the auction will officially begin, no matter who it is, as long as there is a good thing in the hand, just go to the stage!"

Li Yuan's voice fell, and he had already retreated to the side, and at the same time, dozens of figures rushed out of the crowd almost at the same time, rushing towards the stone platform.

"Haha, everyone agrees, and the old man will start the jackpot!"

A thin figure who was the first to step on the stone platform laughed proudly, and without talking nonsense, he slapped his waist directly, and a long rope that was two feet long, the thickness of his little finger, and looked like a purple-black luster shook out.

Everyone widened their eyes and looked at it, and the Dao Divine Thoughts swept towards the long rope without any scruples, Kong Laosan also opened his glasses wide, and the Divine Thoughts and Spiritual Eye Techniques came out together, and after a while, a trace of surprise flashed in Kong Laosan's eyes, this long rope seemed to be the long tendons of some kind of demon beast, and it was full of spirituality.

"The old man doesn't sell it anymore, this long tendon is taken from the fourth-order demon beast black bone crocodile, this beast must be known to everyone, although the fourth-order demon beast is comparable to the early stage of our cultivators' foundation building, but the real strength is always much stronger, the most rare thing is that this long tendon still retains a trace of the brutal consciousness of the black bone crocodile, if it can be refined into a spirit soldier, the grade is afraid that it will not be too low, the old man has no other requirements, the one with the highest price will get it, and the reserve price will be a hundred spirit stones!"

After the thin man finished speaking, there was a burst of stunned sound below, and then there was a noise, and some impatient people couldn't help but scold.

"A demon tendon actually costs a hundred spirit stones, think about money and go crazy......"

"Yes, although your demon tendon is good, it is only the price of eighty spirit stones at most......

"If you don't want to sell it, get out of here......"

......

The voices came and went, but the thin man on the stone platform didn't care at all, and when everyone's voices were quieter, the thin man glanced down unhurriedly, and sneered, "The old man's offer is naturally Tong Suo, this demon tendon is well preserved, if you can invite the iron elder of the sect to refin, at least it is also a spirit soldier, a hundred spirit stones are definitely not expensive, if you don't want to buy it, you can shut up, the old man doesn't have the leisure to listen to your noise here!"

When the words fell, the surroundings suddenly fell silent, and at the same time, a somewhat hoarse voice sounded from the crowd, "I will give out a hundred spirit stones, if no one asks for it, this demon tendon will belong to me!"

"I'll give you a hundred and ten!"

"One hundred and fifteen!"

......

As everyone opened their mouths to increase the price, in the end, this demon tendon was taken away by the first person with a somewhat hoarse voice at the high price of one hundred and thirty-five spirit stones, and the man on the stone platform left the stone platform satisfied.

As the auction progressed, some various things appeared in front of everyone one after another, but these things that appeared on the auction table were obviously not comparable to those stalls, all kinds of yellow-level mid-grade talismans, some rare refining materials, and even some spirit soldiers appeared, and the entire auction hall climaxed one after another, shouting continuously, quite a bit irrational.

In the meantime, Kong Laosan also shot twice, and took out all the spirit stones on his body, only to replace it with a bundle of immortal ropes that no one fought for, this bundle of immortal ropes is made of a demon vine, after the sacrifice, it can bind the enemy, the power is not strong, and there are some chicken ribs, even so, Kong Laosan is already satisfied, after all, it is his first spiritual soldier.

As time went on, the auction had come to an end, but the enthusiasm of the people around them remained undiminished, and everyone who took the stage received a lot of attention.

"Eight hundred spirit stones are sold, this eagle egg belongs to you!"

After the transaction was completed, the middle-aged man got off the stone platform, and then, a woman wrapped in a gray robe walked forward calmly, the woman in front of her could not see clearly, but her figure was uneven, which attracted many male cultivators to stare at each other straight.

Kong Laosan also watched with interest, the woman walked up to the stone platform, glanced around, did not speak, turned her palm, and suddenly there was an emerald treasure box in her hand, slightly larger than the palm, on which there were mottled color patterns, which looked quite exquisite.

"One Tsukidan, as long as you can take out one of the ingredients I listed, you can take this Tsukidan!"

The woman's voice was a little hoarse, obviously deliberately disguised, but at this moment everyone's attention was no longer on the woman, when the woman said the three words "Tsukidan", the pot had exploded below, and most of the people stared at the treasure box placed on the table, revealing a fiery look, of course, more people were skeptical.

There are less than one cultivator in the mortal world who can have a spiritual root and step into the immortal path, and these cultivators have gone through various opportunities, or have been favored by the masters of the immortal sect and included in the door, or have been accepted as disciples by scattered cultivators, or have obtained some secret methods for cultivating immortals and stepped into the immortal path and become a qi refining cultivator in the immortal cultivation world.

It's just that these Qi Cultivators, who are mysterious and unpredictable in the eyes of secular people, are just rookies who have just gotten a glimpse of the door in the immortal cultivation world.

However, among these Qi Cultivators, there are less than one in a hundred who can really break through the bottleneck and step into the foundation building, and there seems to be a huge heavenly stream between the two, which seems to be only one step away, if there is no external force to assist, it is impossible to cross it no matter what.

Qi refining and foundation building, knotting Dan across the Yuan Infant, and turning into gods to cross the tribulation, known as the three major bottlenecks in the world of cultivating immortals, is like a huge watershed between heaven and earth, and thousands of amazing and brilliant cultivators stop here, and the specific reasons for the existence of these bottlenecks are not clear, but it is related to a rumor.

It is rumored that 30,000 years ago, the creatures of the Demon Domain did not know how to break through the boundary barrier and descended on the land of Xiling, countless creatures and cultivators were slaughtered, and the corpses of the earth were all over the ground, and the sky was stained with blood......

In that catastrophe, the land of Xiling was full of smoke, the creatures of the Demon Domain were ruthless and ferocious, countless sects that had been inherited for thousands of years were destroyed, and the martial arts cultivators were killed and injured innumerable, and the war lasted for nearly thirty years, and the vitality of the human race was greatly damaged.

It was also that great battle that the land of Xiling seemed to be greatly affected, the balance of heaven and earth was broken, and there was a lack of some element that could help people break through, and it would become extremely difficult for any cultivator to break through the realm after that.

Cultivators in the Qi Refining Period want to break through the realm and reach the foundation building, there are only two methods, after reaching the peak of the ninth layer of Qi refining, with the help of the medicinal power of the Foundation Building Pill to break through the bottleneck, this method saves time and effort, if there are elders guarding on the side, there is almost no danger, most cultivators in the immortal cultivation world break through to the foundation building this method.

Of course, the value of Zhuji Dan is very high, and it is not sold at all in the general market, only those sect families or powerful scattered cultivators have some, plus Zhuji Dan is not easy to refine, and the herbs are difficult to find, it can be said that it is difficult for ordinary cultivators to get one, and most of the scattered cultivators will choose another way to break through the bottleneck after reaching the peak of the ninth layer of qi refining.

External force quenching the body, this method is very simple, there are very few cultivators who can really endure the pain of going deep into the bone marrow as if to tear the soul apart, although this method can build a successful foundation, but the failure rate has also reached a staggering level.

To put it bluntly, this method is to use the power of the five elements to wash the whole body in a special way, similar to the effect of washing the essence and cutting the marrow, it can be said to forcibly improve the realm of the cultivator, this method has to endure great pain, and the slightest carelessness in the middle will end up with a serious consequence of a serious injury, and even a small life will be directly lost, even so, but for these loose cultivators who cannot obtain the Tsukidan, it is also the only opportunity.
