Chapter 489: Puppet Auction
Puppets are not uncommon in the cultivation realm, and they can be found in many shops in the market, but these puppets that exist in large numbers are basically all puppets in the Qi cultivation period, but the puppets above the foundation building period are very few, and they are expensive. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
This is mainly due to the fact that there are very few monks refining the puppets of the foundation building period, and there are very few people who know the secret art of the puppet, and the things in the cultivation realm are scarce and expensive, whether it is other people or Fang Zhe himself, they will not easily hand over the secret technique of refining the puppet of the foundation building period, which is equivalent to smashing their own jobs.
In addition to the fact that there are few monks who know how to refine, it is also related to the very high cost of puppets in the foundation building period, and the puppets in the qi training period may only need the cost of a few hundred or thousands of spirit stones to refine.
However, the cost of the puppet in the foundation building period directly crossed over to more than 100,000 spirit stones.
Taking the Great Perfection puppet of the foundation building period refined by Fang Zhe as an example, the price of various materials on the Tianmen Sea side is cheaper than that of Qizhou, so the cost is much lower than before, but even so, the cost of refining a Great Perfection puppet of the foundation building period alone will reach two or three hundred thousand spirit stones.
This cost is only the cost of materials, and the cost of refining failure has not been taken into account, you must know that even Fang Zhe, who can skillfully refine the Great Perfection puppet of the foundation building period, has a success rate of about half at most, so that on average, the average successful refining of a Great Perfection puppet in the foundation building period will reach about 600,000 spirit stones alone.
And strictly speaking, the cost of materials is easy to say, and what is more expensive is the time cost of the puppeteer, and the puppeteer who can refine the puppet in the foundation building period can already be said to be the top-level puppeteer, and their time cost is very high.
A similar situation also happened to alchemists and array mages, those alchemists helped people refine a furnace of high-grade pills, and the handling fee alone started with millions of spirit stones, otherwise they wouldn't help you refine it at all.
After all, these puppet masters and alchemists need to spend time refining pills and puppets, and spending time refining pills and puppets means reducing the time spent on daily cultivation.
This will inevitably affect the cultivator's own cultivation progress.
This was also the reason why Fang Zhe would only refine puppets in his spare time, even if he knew that if he kept refining puppets day and night, he would earn more spirit stones, but he still wouldn't do that.
Most of his time is still spent cultivating.
The combination of many factors has led to the fact that the price of puppets in the foundation building period has always remained high, whether it is in Zhao State, Qizhou, or Tianmenhai.
The objective laws of the cultivation realm will not be changed because of the difference in places and the lack of resources.
Of course, because the Tianmen Sea is relatively scarce because of the scarcity of spirit stones, because the prices of various treasures are also lower than those in Qizhou, and the price of materials for Fang Zhe's refining puppets is about a quarter cheaper than that in Qizhou, if calculated in this way, Fang Zhe estimates that the puppet he brought in the Great Perfection of the Foundation Building Period will buy about 1.6 million, which is basically the same as the price of two million spirit stones sold in Qizhou.
However, when the auction was held, he was pleasantly surprised by the enthusiasm shown by the many monks of Tianmen Sea.
In order to truly understand what price the puppets he had refined could be auctioned off, and whether the spirit stones he earned could meet his future cultivation needs, Fang Zhe specially went to the auction to participate in the auction.
This auction was held by the Tianmen Chamber of Commerce, the most powerful chamber of commerce in the Tianmen Sea, this Tianmen Chamber of Commerce was not founded by a single force, but by as many as 20 sects in the Tianmen Sea, of course, the Tianmen Sect must occupy the majority of the coin.
Basically, in the entire medium and large islands of Tianmen Sea, there are shops belonging to the Tianmen Chamber of Commerce.
The Tianmen Chamber of Commerce, like other large chambers of commerce, holds a large-scale auction every few years, and this auction is the five-year large-scale auction of the Tianmen Chamber of Commerce.
The auction is divided into auctions for ordinary monks and auctions for mid- and high-ranking monks, and it is said that there are thousands of items in the lot.
Fang Zhe's puppet was auctioned at a high-level auction, although it was not the finale auction item, and the price was not the highest, but the more than 200 pieces in the high-level auction were the most popular auction items among the monks.
Because there is also a great shortage of foundation-building period puppets in the Tianmen Sea, and a puppet with such strength as the Great Perfection of the Foundation Building Period has not appeared for many years, this time there is a puppet of the Great Perfection of the Foundation Building Period at the auction, which will naturally attract the attention of a large number of foundation-building period monks, and even many monks of the foundation building period want to buy it.
A puppet of the Great Perfection of the Foundation Building Period is enough for any monk of the Foundation Building Period to become his killer weapon, if a monk in the early stage of Foundation Building has a puppet of the Great Perfection of the Foundation Building Period, he is completely able to compete with the monks of the late stage of Foundation Building, or even the monks of the Great Perfection Period of the Foundation Building Period.
This can directly improve the combat effectiveness of the monks in the foundation building period more than the best spirit weapon, because the use of the best spirit weapon is very restrictive, and it is impossible for the monks in the late foundation building stage to fully exert the power of the best spirit weapon.
However, as for the puppet, although the control of the puppet also has certain requirements for the monk's divine consciousness and cultivation, the requirements are not too high, as long as the difference between each other's realms is not too big, then there is not much of a problem.
A late-stage Qi cultivation monk can also control a puppet in the early stage of foundation building, or even in the middle stage of foundation building, and a monk in the early stage of foundation building can completely control a puppet of the Great Perfection cultivation in the foundation building period.
Whether or not a monk can use a puppet is largely not limited by their own cultivation and the strength of their divine consciousness, but by the spirit stone.
The price of a puppet is very expensive, even a puppet in the Qi training period is not cheap, and a puppet in the foundation building period is casually hundreds of thousands.
The price of a puppet of the Great Perfection of the Foundation Building Period has reached about two million spirit stones, which is not cheap even for the monks of the Foundation Building Period, let alone those ordinary monks of the Foundation Building Period.
The net worth of ordinary foundation-building period monks is only tens of thousands of spirit stones, and only some foundation-building period monks who have special opportunities, or have the support of elders behind them, can come up with hundreds of thousands of millions of spirit stones.
Secondly, puppets are different from spirit beasts, and it doesn't cost any additional spirit stones to drive spirit beasts to fight, but if you want a puppet to fight, you have to provide a large number of spirit stones, otherwise the puppet is a dead thing.
Therefore, although theoretically a Qi cultivation period cultivator only has enough spirit stones, he can also drive a foundation building stage puppet, but in reality, such a thing rarely happens.
However, there was never a shortage of wealthy monks in the cultivation realm, when Fang Zhe's puppet began to be auctioned, almost as soon as it began, there were many monks bidding, just after more than ten rounds of bidding, the price of his puppet had already been coaxed to two million spirit stones, and this price had already exceeded Fang Zhe's psychological expectations.
