Chapter 70: Purchasing Places
"Master, that's the auction table. ”
Liu Nan looked around and said in a low voice, "Although there are ten places in the Qi Refining Sect, almost every year there are several auctions. ”
"Oh?"
Wu Tian was stunned, and asked with some confusion, "Why is this?"
"Master doesn't know. ”
Liu Nan shook the paper fan lightly and said slowly, "This is the strategy of the Qi Refining Sect. ”
Although the Qi Refining Sect is the only one, within a radius of a few hundred miles, there are more than a dozen monks who have cultivated during the foundation building period.
Excluding the casual and penances who are ignorant of the world, there are only seven foundation building monks left.
Among these seven monks, excluding two from the Qi Refining Sect and two from the Zhao family and the Zhou family, there are actually only three foundation building stage monks left.
Most of these three people are members of the clan and sit in their own families, and the ancient tomb was discovered by the Qi Refining Sect and the Zhou family of the Zhao family, and now they are in control.
This creates a contradiction.
The three major clans also wanted to enter the ancient tomb to experience and find the treasures inside, but there was no place, and in a fit of rage, the three major families united to fight against the Qi Refining Sect, the Zhou family, and the Zhao family.
The Foundation Building Period Cultivator was the decisive factor in this battle, and there was no doubt that the Qi Refining Sect's side had won.
But even so, the three major families are still aggressive, and the situation is still very tense.
In this case, the Qi Refining Sect of the Immortal Cultivation Small Sect thought of a wonderful solution.
The Qi Refining Sect is a small sect, and its cultivation resources have always been limited, otherwise it would not accept mortals as low-level disciples.
Someone suggested that the ten selected disciples, if there were those who wanted to give up, could subsidize fifty lower grade spirit stones.
Usually, every year, there will be disciples who do their best and means to get a place in the ancient tomb, and then voluntarily give up and get a subsidized fifty lower grade spirit stones.
Why could these fifty lower-grade spirit stones be so tempting to the disciples of the Qi Refining Sect?
It's completely because the Qi Refining Sect is too poor, and it can only rely on hunting demon beasts and selling materials to obtain spirit stones and maintain expenses.
Naturally, the welfare of the disciples of the sect is also extremely poor.
After the Qi Refining Sect takes back the quota, it will secretly hold a small quota auction.
Of course, in line with the principle that you must not do it at a loss.
The starting price of the quota is fifty lower-grade spirit stones.
In this way, it not only solves the shortage of sect resources, but also alleviates the contradictions between the three major families, which is simply a clever move to kill two birds with one stone.
"What a clever trick, I think it's a garbage trick. ”
Wu Tian pursed his lips and said lightly: "If you enter the ancient tomb, if you get the opportunity, you will have a thousandfold benefit." Now it's a simple auction. Some are small and big. ”
Hearing Shizun say this, Liu Nan smiled and said, "Shizun's words are wrong. ”
"Oh?"
Liu Nan shook the paper fan lightly and analyzed seriously: "Entering the ancient tomb, although there are many opportunities, there are not a few people who return without success, not to mention that there are many dangers inside, mechanisms, formations, puppets, etc., there are countless people. ”
"All kinds of dangers, so that every time you enter it, there are not a few people who die. In the most dangerous one, twenty people were said to have entered, and only five came out alive. ”
"Shhh
Wu Tian gasped, and then he knew how terrible it was.
"Then the last time you entered, how was the situation?" Wu Tian asked nervously.
Liu Nan fell into deep thought, and after a long while, he spoke: "Twenty people in, eight people out." ”
Eight people out!
This result made Wu Tian stunned, and as many as half of the dead and injured were simply jaw-dropping and unbelievable.
"Because of these factors, the price of each place will not be too high, after all, the strength is not enough, and entering is also a death. Even if the strength is enough, the chances of coming out alive are not great. Liu Nan said lightly, and then said: "In the case of the auction price is not high, the Qi Refining Sect has learned experience, and every auction will allow the scattered cultivators to participate. ”
The more people who join, the competitiveness also increases, and the price naturally rises.
But even then, the price would be too high.
After all, life is the most important, and he spent such a spirit stone, so he bought himself a chance, and he was directly sent to the grave and bought a coffin.
"Master, if you regret it now, we can go and travel elsewhere, and we don't have to be attached to this. Liu Nan admonished.
Wu Tian smiled when he heard this.
Although this survival rate made him feel a little palpitating, but cultivating immortals is a move against the sky, and chance is often accompanied by danger, if he doesn't dare to fight when he puts the opportunity in front of him, it must not be able to become any climate.
"What are you kidding, it's all here, how can you go back. ”
He took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and said to Liu Nan: "I must participate in this ancient tomb." ”
Liu Nan smiled bitterly helplessly, and then took out two things from his storage bag.
"In that case, then I won't advise you either, but please accept these two things, just in case. With that, he handed it to Wu Tian.
Wu Tian naturally would not refuse, if the auction was successful, he would have to put himself at risk.
More treasures, there is always more hope for survival.
"This talisman is an enchantment talisman, and this talisman can block three attacks from the fifth layer of the Qi Refining Period, but it can only be used once, and this talisman will disappear. Liu Nan explained to him carefully, pointed to the other and said, "As for this thing, it is poisonous powder." ”
"Poison powder?"
After Wu Tian heard it, he picked it up with a little surprise, a little puzzled.
"The poisonous powder has a very powerful effect, and it can cause very deep damage to Qi refining period cultivators, and at a critical time, you can throw this thing at the other party, and you can quickly escape and leave the danger. ”
Hearing the introduction, Wu Tian became more and more fond of these two things, and collected them in storage bags.
"Next, the sale of places, starts now. ”
At this moment, on the small podium in front of him, a little old man appeared, standing there and saying with a heartfelt voice: "There are only four places in this auction. The starting price is still fifty lower-grade spirit stones. ”
Soon, the first place was bought by two hundred and thirty lower-grade spirit stones.
And the second place, in the fierce competition, was also purchased by two hundred and twenty-five lower-grade spirit stones.
As for the third place, Wu Tian auctioned it and bid 240 lower-grade spirit stones, which he successfully purchased.
When there was only one last spot left, the atmosphere did not reach the highest climax of imagination, but a low voice.
The auction was still going on at the bidding of you and me, and it was finally sold for 243 spirit stones.
"Next, those who have purchased the quota will go to the backstage to pay the spirit stone and receive the quota certificate. ”
After the old man said this, it also represented the end of the auction.
Wu Tian and the other four walked into the backstage of the auction, handed over the spirit stones, and each received a token, which was carved with patterns, and seemed to have arranged a small formation on it for identification.
At the same time, he also looked curiously at the other three who had purchased the places.
An old man, a masked girl, and a family disciple.
Wu Tian was very curious, an old man, what was he doing in this kind of place.
