One after another, good things were brought out from the backstage and the atmosphere of the entire auction house became increasingly heated with Gu San Niang's smiles and frowns.

  Qin Lingyun's gaze reluctantly returned from the stage, those good things all require a large amount of spirit stones and may also be auctioned off, but she was penniless, wanting again was useless.

  "It's better to seize the time to practice the art of changing one's face and hiding one's breath, if I can master it roughly by the time I leave the auction house." Qin Lingyun thought to herself.

  This face-changing technique is called the Yuanmu Lingyin Technique, a lower-grade spell of the Mystic Stage. At Qin Lingyun's current level, ordinary foundation-building cultivators would find it difficult to see through her true appearance.

  The key to her cultivation was clearly presented in her consciousness, the entire method of cultivation wasn't difficult, Qin Lingyun closed her eyes and carefully pondered its subtleties.

  Yuánmù líng yǐn shù has two functions: first is changing one's appearance and second is concealing one's breath.

  Changing one's appearance isn't a thorough change of face, but rather using special spiritual techniques on the original appearance, making changes in some details. Although it's just a small change, the overall appearance looks completely different.

  Concealing one's aura means to gather and hide the spiritual energy of the entire body, allowing other cultivators to reduce their cultivation level by one layer when scanning her with their divine sense. Qin Lingyun currently has a cultivation level of 8th layer Qi Refining, reducing it by one layer would make it 7th layer Qi Refining.

  Qin Lingyun continued to comprehend the spiritual power changes within, and soon a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

  "Yuanmu Lingyin technique is indeed very good, and it's easy to cultivate, quite different from ordinary spells."

  Generally, offensive and defensive spells require a lot of practice to master, and those that are easy to cultivate, like the Yuanmu Lingyin spell, are usually auxiliary spells.

  The auction on stage was proceeding with great enthusiasm, but Qin Lingyun was alone in her meticulous cultivation of magic. After a while, a voice suddenly entered her ears.

  "Six bottles of Qi-increasing pills, five grains per bottle. This divine medicine doesn't need to be said much by San Niang, the bottom price is 1,000 low-grade spirit stones per bottle. Everyone must not miss this opportunity to improve their cultivation. Even if your cultivation has reached a bottleneck and it's hard to make progress, you can still forcefully break through with the power of the medicine. Additionally, it can also nourish the body and prolong one's lifespan."

  The atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly became solemn, and the Enhancing Pill was a practical spiritual medicine for Qi-refining cultivators. The cultivators sitting in the hall were basically all Qi-refining cultivators, and there were many private rooms on the second floor.

  Those VIP suites should have some foundation-laying monks, even if they are foundation-laying monks, they also have relatives and friends, the Qi-tonifying Pill is a kind of spiritual elixir that someone always needs.

  But Qin Lingyun secretly admired the way the people of Qibao House handled things, dividing a bottle of Qi-increasing Pills into six bottles and auctioning them off separately to stir up more competition and drive up the price.

  Gu San Niang's voice had just fallen when someone started bidding sporadically.

  "One thousand two hundred." A monk sitting not far from Qin Lingyun said. He had just shouted, and there were several hisses in response. His quoted price was indeed a bit low, but he was just a transition, the real big buyers would be reserved and wouldn't speak easily.

  One thousand five hundred yuan.

  "Two thousand yuan."

  "Two thousand five hundred."

  The price was gradually increasing amidst the shouting, and many cultivators looked very anxious. Of course, the most anxious were those who were at the 12th layer of Qi Refining and had a good chance of entering the Foundation Building stage. Moreover, the Enhanced Elixir could forcibly increase one's cultivation level, and such a spiritual medicine was something that no one would refuse.

  Qin Lingyun opened her eyes and thought to herself: "Go ahead and shout, shout as loudly as you can, the higher the price, the more I'll make."

  Just then, a faint voice came from the VIP room on the second floor: "Five thousand!" The voice was not loud, but it seemed to explode like thunder in the ears of many cultivators.

  From two thousand five hundred yuan to five thousand yuan, this is simply a feeling of not treating the spiritual stone as a spiritual stone, but as dirt.

  Since the voice in the VIP room sounded, there was no second sound. After a while, Gu Sanniang announced that the auction was successful, and the auction item was also sent into the VIP room.

  "Really rich people, but I like it, the higher the price the better." Qin Lingyun was also shocked for a moment, she didn't expect that five grains of Qi-increasing pills could be auctioned off at such a price, thinking back to when she used to eat them like beans.

  "I casually swallowed a thousand low-grade spirit stones, it's truly extravagant. Just now many mid-grade spirit artifacts, Xuan stage secret techniques, and mid-level spirit symbols etc., are rarely able to reach the value of one thousand low-grade spirit stones."

  Qin Lingyun secretly congratulated herself on having the ability to successfully refine the spiritual elixir 100%, if a fellow cultivator with the same virtual immortal spirit root as hers, if they couldn't thoroughly open up their spirit root, it would be almost impossible to cultivate further.

  "Xīng Dì once said that a strange object is needed to open the spiritual root, but I don't know what it is." Qin Lingyun knew that Xīng Dì didn't explicitly say so, and if there was even a slight possibility of obtaining it, he wouldn't have kept it hidden.

  The first bottle of Qi-tonifying pills has been auctioned off, with a total of five pills. There are still five bottles of Qi-tonifying pills on the tray, and the eyes of those monks who did not get the first bottle have lit up again.

  The base price for each bottle of Qi-Enhancing Pills was one thousand low-grade spirit stones. When the second bottle appeared, a cultivator from below shouted: "Two thousand!"

  "Not below five thousand yuan, in the VIP room, that faint voice sounded again: 'Five thousand.'"

  Everyone below suddenly fell silent, at this time, a young man's voice came from another VIP room: "Six thousand."

  "Eight thousand."

  In another VIP room, a young man couldn't help but shout: "Chu Zhongtian, you just want to mess with me, right? I'll bet 10,000 yuan, dare you follow suit? If not, you're a turtle egg son of a bitch!"

  The monks below immediately began to discuss, Qin Lingyun listened for a while and understood the identity of the two noble guests in the room above. The first man with a calm tone, Chu Zhongtian, was an elite disciple of Qingyachen's Feather Spirit Sect, and also a direct disciple of the sect, with a noble status.

  Later, a man was the great-grandson of Qingyun Zhenren, the strongest sect in Qingyachen, Black Water Gate. His name was Li Badao, and he lived up to his name, dominating Qingyachen with no one daring to provoke him, earning him the nickname "Qingyachen Xiao Bawang".

  Yueling Sect is also one of the four major sects in Qingyacheng, its strength is not inferior to Heishui Gate, although there are no condensing pill cultivators in the sect, but the foundation of the sect is very deep and should not be underestimated.

  Qin Lingyun felt a sense of incongruity, how could the Yu Ling Sect, which didn't have any Dan-forming cultivators, compare to the Hei Shui Gate? It was well-known that the power of Dan-forming cultivators far surpassed that of foundation-building cultivators. Her primordial spirit contained memories of Mu Rong Hen Hai, so she naturally had a deep understanding of just how powerful Dan-forming cultivators were.
