Since all the cultivators around said that the four major sects are not far apart in terms of strength, it should be that the Yu Ling Sect has some special means to threaten the Condensing Dan cultivators. As for what specific reason, none of the cultivators present seem to have mentioned it.

  After Qingya Xiao Bawang Li Badao finished roaring loudly, Chu Zhongtian's voice in the room next door was still lukewarm: "Li Badao, I only brought 40,000 low-grade spirit stones with me today. If you have more than 40,000 spirit stones, then you win."

  Although forty thousand spirit stones wasn't a large sum, neither Li Dao Bai nor Chu Zhong Tian had expected the appearance of the Qi Increasing Pill at this auction. If they had known it would appear, no matter how great the cost, they would have to get their hands on it.

  Refining elixirs is a complex and difficult task. In the Xianxia world, alchemists are divided into six major realms, from low to high: primary alchemist, intermediate alchemist, advanced alchemist, master alchemist, grandmaster alchemist, authoritative alchemist, and the legendary alchemy king.

  Once, Murong Henhai was a high-level alchemist. With this ability, he successfully formed his elixir as a loose cultivator and became a great master of elixir formation. After forming the elixir, one can become a true person. The only elixir cultivator in Heishui Gate is called Qingyun True Person.

  The higher the level of the alchemist, the higher the success rate of alchemy, and the improvement in eyesight, skills, etc. is also very large.

  Qin Lingyun estimated that if she didn't have the Blood Coagulation Dan, her level would be at most mid-level alchemist, but for her, the rank of an alchemist had already lost its significance.

  In the VIP room on the right, a young man wearing brocade robes and a white jade crown sat upright in an armchair. His handsome face was twisted with rage as he slammed his palm onto the pear-wood table in front of him, gritting his teeth to say: "Chu Zhongtian, this grudge will be remembered by Young Master Ben for now." Li Badao had only brought two million spirit stones out this time. Having lost face, how could he possibly stay at the gathering?

  He swung his sleeve and stood up, walking out with two monks immediately following behind him.

  Originally, it was not allowed to leave the venue ahead of time during the auction, but Qingya Xiao Bawang was an exception, precisely because of his deep background, many rules could be ignored.

  Seeing Li Badao leave, many cultivators were whispering to each other, and none of the cultivators present dared to challenge Chu Zhongtian again. The remaining five bottles of Qi-increasing Pills were auctioned off by Chu Zhongtian for 40,000 Spirit Stones.

  In total, all the Qi-Building Pills were sold for 45,000 low-grade spirit stones. After deducting a 5% tax, Qin Lingyu would still be able to obtain 42,750 low-grade spirit stones.

  "This is a big deal! So many spirit stones!" Qin Lingyun was somewhat shocked, she hadn't expected that one small bottle of Qi-Enhancing Pills could sell for such a price.

  "Alchemist is indeed a promising career, no wonder Murong Henhai was able to reach the Dan formation stage back then. However, becoming an alchemist requires not only extremely vast resources but also very high personal talent. Wanting to reach the level of a high-grade alchemist is truly not easy." Qin Lingyun sighed in her heart.

  Just beside him, Xingdi slowly said: "Not bad, with so many spirit stones, we can buy a lot of necessary items now."

  The low-grade spirit stones used by cultivators are just like the gold and silver used by ordinary people, they are all circulating currencies. Ordinary people can't move a step without money, while cultivators can't continue their cultivation without spirit stones, this principle is the same.

  Qin Lingyun suddenly became a millionaire from being penniless, with a hint of nouveau riche flavor.

  After Chu Zhong Tian paid the spirit stone, the green-robed man from the auction house reappeared not far from Qin Ling Yun.

  The man in blue clothes smiled and said, "Fellow Taoist, please follow me."

  Qin Lingyun nodded and followed him to a room on the side of the auction house, where a strange middle-aged man was standing with a smile on his face. He was wearing a loose-woven crane robe, with a broad face, high nose bridge, and eyes that occasionally flashed with sharp light.

  "This is our Qibao Workshop's Manager Dong." The man in green clothes, Lin Hao, introduced.

  "Master Dong turned over his palm, and on it was a purple jade card: 'This Taoist friend, in view of your contribution to our auction house, from now on, whenever there are good items sold at our auction house, the tax rate will be reduced by one percent. Also, this is a Purple Crystal Card, please check if the amount is correct.'"

  Qin Lingyun had never heard of the Purple Crystal Card before, but she didn't ask any questions either, so as not to reveal her own ignorance. She nodded and took the card, saying calmly: "The reputation of Qibao Workshop doesn't need to be questioned, so there's no need to check it."

  Dong Zhanggui smiled and said: "Our Qibao Workshop has always been reputation-oriented, this is the foundation of our store... Sir, how should I address you?"

  "My surname is Qin." Qin Lingyun said, she didn't need to hide her own name, and no one in Qingyacheng knew her anyway.

  "It was Qin Daoyou, don't forget to take care of our Qibao Workshop's business in the future." Dong Zhanggui narrowed his eyes and smiled.

  Qin Lingyun's divine consciousness swept across, and Dong Zhanggui's cultivation was not low. He is now at the 11th layer of Lianqi, speaking in a standard tone of a businessman who cultivates wealth with a gentle and auspicious voice.

  Qin Lingyun smiled naturally and said, "I will definitely come again if I have the chance."

  After leaving Qibao Building, Qin Lingyun looked around and found no suspicious person, then quickly walked into the crowd.

  "Don't worry, there's no one lurking around." Xingdi said. Although Xingdi only had a wisp of residual soul left, his methods were still numerous, and everything nearby couldn't escape his divine consciousness.

  Qin Lingyun quickly left this street and came to another street. As soon as she entered, she heard the loud shouting voices.

  "The iron-backed lizard's back, the roads that have been walked, don't miss them."

  "Golden Amulet, Fireball Talisman, Concealment Talisman... everything is here, come and take a look."

  "Take a look, take a look! This is absolutely authentic snake venom charm. After refining the aura for three layers, it can be used conveniently and quickly. It's absolutely a must-have good charm for both home and travel, killing people and silencing them!"

  "Only two excellent Huiqi Pills left, low price big sale, don't miss out if you pass by!"

  "Recycling various magic artifacts fragments, fair price, no cheating of old and young."

  Qin Lingyun's eyes widened as she looked around, and she couldn't help but say, "This place is so chaotic!" She hadn't expected the cultivators to be setting up stalls and hawking their wares like ordinary people, and some were even buying goods or organizing groups to go outside the city to hunt demons. Of course, it was nighttime now, and no cultivator dared to leave Qingyao City.

  "It's messy here, but you might be able to find some good stuff. Leave everything to me then, my eye for things is not something you can compare to." Xingdi seemed somewhat excited.
