Chapter 21 - Auspicious Cloud Wood

However, the Condensation Stage cultivators above did not care about the Qi Condensation Stage cultivators below. After all, their wealth was not comparable to that of the Qi Condensation Stage cultivators.

If we compete with them, humph! Unless they have enough spirit stones and are strong enough.

The current situation is normal, after all, the temptation of the fragments of magic weapons is still quite great.

However, they are not afraid of the current situation. They have enough confidence to fight for the fragment of the magic weapon.

Soon the price of the magic weapon fragments had soared to more than three thousand spirit stones.

Of course, now it is the cultivators in the Condensation Stage who are bidding. As soon as the price reaches two thousand, the cultivators in the Qi Condensation Stage have already given up, and no cultivator in the Qi Condensation Stage is bidding anymore.

Su Ziyan was also a little surprised. He did not expect that the wealth of some Qi training cultivators was so profound that it could soar to one or two thousand spirit stones before stopping.

It seems that some cultivators in the Qi training stage are not necessarily extremely poor.

I learned from my previous communication with Pan Ruihua that in the world of immortal cultivation, cultivators in the Qi training stage are generally very poor.

Unless they are disciples of a family, ordinary cultivators in the Qi training stage cannot even provide for the basic needs of their cultivation.

Thinking of this, Su Ziyan began to understand a little bit. Perhaps it was possible that some of the cultivators here were descendants of the family, or disciples of the sect who came to participate in the auction here.

That is why their wealth is so profound, and it is also possible that their elders entrusted them with spirit stones, so they have so many spirit stones to bid on.

After thinking about it, he no longer bothered about it. He sat in his seat and watched them go crazy because of a piece of magic weapon fragment.

He entered the storage bag with his spiritual consciousness and looked at the magic weapons in his storage bag. He secretly reminded himself that he must not let others know about these magic weapons, otherwise he would face endless troubles and might even die.

After all, my cultivation is still too low. As the saying goes: A man is innocent unless he is in possession of a treasure.

So it's better to hide yourself.

After a while, the price of the magic weapon fragments had risen to five thousand.

There were only two cultivators in the Condensation Vortex Stage left who were bidding, and they were still competing for it. Su Ziyan watched them go crazy because of this piece of magic weapon fragment.

But Su Ziyan knew just by thinking about it how attractive a magic weapon was to them.

Perhaps this fragment of magic weapon might be disdained by cultivators above the Jindan stage, but for low-level cultivators like them, it is of great use.

After all, those were the fragments left behind by a magic weapon, and they were not comparable to any magic tool.

Although this magic weapon has been damaged, some of its power still exists. It can enhance one's strength and save one's life.

Although they cannot control complete magic weapons, there is still a certain possibility that they can use incomplete magic weapons like these when they advance to the late stage of foundation building.

That's why they are fighting so hard for this fragment of the magic weapon.

The two monks were still fighting for the spirit stones. Finally, when the number of spirit stones reached six thousand, a voice finally sounded.

"Humph, since you insist so much, I'll give it to you, but I also hope you can keep this fragment of the magic weapon."

"What's the matter? Do you want to threaten me? Since you say so, you might as well come to Ximiao Pavilion to find me. I want to see if you dare to come," another faint voice came.

As soon as this voice was heard, it immediately caused a sigh from the monks below, but they finally understood why that person was so confident.

At this moment, they were all waiting to see what the other one would say, to see what the cultivator in the Condensation Vortex Stage would say, but what they got was a cold snort, and finally no sound was heard.

The old man on the stage was watching with a smile on his face. He did not expect that the price of this fragment of the magic weapon would be auctioned so high in the end.

You know, the commission he gets from this is linked to the price of the treasure.

Finally, the fragment of the magic weapon was auctioned off by the cultivator from Ximiao Pavilion.

The old man looked at the monks below the stage who were still talking. He coughed twice to draw everyone's attention back.

Then he smiled and looked at the crowd below, "Next, we will start the auction of the last item. This item is a bit special. The owner of this item wants to use it to exchange for other things. So if there is a Taoist who has something that can satisfy the owner of this item, then this treasure will be his."

"That fellow Taoist wants to exchange this item for a top-grade magical instrument, so fellow Taoists who are interested can come over and make the exchange."

Then he asked the last maid holding the long box to come up. He opened the box and found a black stick-like object about a foot long inside, but no one recognized it.

But Su Ziyan was shocked, because this was recorded in the jade slip left by Ming Daozi. This thing is called Xiangyun Wood. It usually grows in areas with abundant spiritual energy and has extremely demanding requirements on the environment.

The trunk of the Lucky Cloud Tree is black but grows straight upward, and its branches look like fans from a distance, extending in all directions.

This tree can only produce one fruit at a time, and it will take at least five hundred years for the next fruit to be produced.

The fruit is transparent, but there are many crystal silver crystals inside, and the more they are towards the middle.

Moreover, this fruit has a miraculous effect. It can increase the lifespan of a monk, but it can only increase his lifespan by one hundred years.

For higher-level cultivators, these hundred years can be said to be completely forgotten, but this also attracts many cultivators.

After all, a hundred years is enough for a monk to change many things, but each monk can only take it once.

Another use of it is that it can be refined into elixir together with other precious spiritual medicines. This elixir can heal the damaged soul.

An undamaged soul can also be strengthened, which can increase the chance of advancement. However, the higher the level of the cultivator, the lower the chance will be, but it is better than nothing.

If a cultivator who has not yet formed a Nascent Soul swallows more of these pills, the chance of condensing a Nascent Soul will be higher. This is why many cultivators flock to it.

However, the Lucky Cloud Wood is quite difficult to find. Even if you find it, there may not be Lucky Cloud Fruit. After all, it takes a lot of luck to get the Lucky Cloud Fruit.

Other spiritual medicines used to refine elixirs are also quite difficult to find, and their rarity is no less than that of the Auspicious Cloud Fruit.

What is in front of us is just the Auspicious Cloud Wood itself. Although it is not as useful as the Auspicious Cloud Fruit, it can also be used to make pills, and they are pills that replenish vitality.

Therefore, it can be said that the whole body of the Xiangyun wood is a treasure.

If this is the Auspicious Cloud Fruit itself, then it would not appear here. Because if it is the Auspicious Cloud Fruit, then Jindan or Yuanying stage cultivators will appear here to snatch it, and there is no chance for it to be auctioned here.

The old man above also began to introduce, "This is called the Lucky Cloud Wood. It usually grows in places with rich spiritual energy. Although this wood is not as valuable as its fruit, it can also be used to refine pills."

"It's just that this auspicious cloud wood has withered and is on the verge of death, so it can't be planted. Otherwise, this auspicious cloud wood might appear in the hands of an old ancestor in the Nascent Soul stage."

He paused, and seeing that everyone below had been attracted and interested, he couldn't help feeling a little proud.

"But the Lucky Cloud Wood itself can be used to refine pills that replenish vitality, and it can be refined very quickly. However, because it is a little withered, the quality of the refined pills may be a little flawed."

"But these flaws can be ignored, so the value is still quite large. Okay, one piece of Lucky Cloud Wood can be exchanged for a top-grade magic weapon. Fellow Taoists who have a magic weapon and are in need can exchange it."

The monks below were stunned for a moment, and no one made a bid for a long time. The old man looked around and saw that no one made a bid, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

He asked, "Why, is there no fellow Taoist who wants this Lucky Cloud Wood? If there is no exchange, then this Lucky Cloud Wood will become an unsold item."

After Su Ziyan looked around and saw that no cultivator had taken action yet, he became a little eager to take action.

He didn't find it strange. After all, top-grade magic weapons were extremely precious to these cultivators.

Even if they have it, they will not take it out for exchange, because a top-grade magic weapon can save their lives, so they will not take it out to exchange for this defective auspicious cloud wood.

But his words were another matter, because he had more than one top-grade magic weapon in his storage bag, so he said, "Wait a minute, I'll exchange."

Then he took out a top-grade magic weapon from his storage bag and handed it to the maid who came down, and the maid took the magic weapon.

After a while, the maid went up and handed the magic weapon to the old man for inspection. The old man looked at it and then nodded, "Okay, then this auspicious cloud wood is yours, Taoist friend."

After saying that, he closed the lid of the box. Su Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one came out to compete with him for it.

The cultivators around also looked at Su Ziyan in surprise. They didn't expect that there would be such a sucker. Moreover, they didn't expect that a cultivator in the Qi training stage could actually take out a top-grade magic weapon.

Some monks looked at him with greedy eyes, treating Su Ziyan as prey.

Su Ziyan didn't care because no one would recognize him while he was wearing a mask, so he didn't have to worry about these people.

The old man on the stage spoke at this time, "Dear Taoist friends, this auction has ended. The next one will be held in five years. I hope you can come and participate."

"Okay, now I declare that the auction is over. You can leave now. Those who have won items can go backstage to exchange them and then you can leave."

Su Ziyan followed a maid to the backstage and found that there was only one person inside, the old man on the stage. Su Ziyan walked over.

The old man smiled and said to him, "Congratulations, you have won the last item. All the items you have won are here. You need to pay the remaining spiritual stones for the herbs first, so that you can take these items away."

Su Ziyan bowed and said respectfully, "Senior, I wonder how I should leave here after handing over the spirit stones. I think there should be many cultivators waiting for me outside. After all, it is not easy for me to take out something."

"I'm afraid there should be a lot of monks watching me now."

The old man laughed, stroked his beard and said, "Don't worry, my friend. In order to protect the Taoist friends who have won the auction, our auction has a back door. You can leave from there. No one will know who you are. Otherwise, who will dare to bid for things in the auction in the future?"

Su Ziyan nodded, handed over the spirit stone, collected the things, and the old man called a disciple to send Su Ziyan out.

Su Ziyan bowed to the old man and followed my disciple out.

When Su Ziyan disappeared through the back door, the old man watched Su Ziyan's disappearing figure from behind in silence.
