Chapter 94: The Infant Spirit! The Star-Picking Contest! Masterpiece: Ancient Treasure! (Please subscribe to the first of the ten chapters!)
Time flies like a white horse, and in the blink of an eye another fifty years have passed.
"Xiaolan, have you received any news about what I want?"
Li Mufeng's questioning voice was heard from a secret room.
However, this time it was not the voice of the maid Wang Xinlan who responded to him, but Su Feiyan who was standing outside in panic.
"Master, I'm sorry for my incompetence."
"Okay, there's no need to do that. It's not that easy to find something to form a baby."
"In this world, this kind of thing should be considered the most precious treasure. I don't think anyone would be willing to sell it. After all, as long as you have it, you can have one more Nascent Soul cultivator."
"I think the situation is similar even in the most resource-rich Dajin."
The next second, Li Mufeng appeared beside Su Feiyan.
He had long anticipated the difficulty of finding the spiritual object to form a baby.
During these fifty years, Li Mufeng has been very close to the False Infant Realm with the help of more than ten different kinds of Jindan pills, such as Diyuan Pill, Xueyuan Pill, Shengling Pill, Yunling Pill, Juyuan Pill, and Zengyuan Pill.
Long before he began his retreat, he had already ordered people to search for information about the spiritual object that could form a baby.
For a full fifty years, there was no news from either the Chaos Star Sea or the Tiannan Dongyu Kingdom.
Even Wang Chan, the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect, couldn't get it.
This is enough to show how precious the spiritual object for forming an infant is. Just as Li Mufeng said, no one would take this kind of thing out to sell.
After all, what he needs are not ordinary goods.
"My Lord, the Star Palace's century-old Star Picking Competition is about to be held."
"In order to welcome this grand event, Fengle Auction House, the number one auction house in Chaos Star Sea, will spend a hundred years preparing for several grand Tianxing auctions."
"This is the list of items for this auction. I have already noted down the items you might need. Please have a look at it."
As she spoke, Su Feiyan presented several jade slips with both hands.
Li Mufeng picked up the jade slip and finished reading it quickly. At this time, he had already broken through the fourth level of the Dayan Jue, and his spiritual awareness was not inferior to that of an early Nascent Soul cultivator.
Among the things that Su Feiyan specially marked, there was a pill called Yulingdan, which was said to be an pill that could assist in forming a baby.
However, this elixir has only some auxiliary use. It is not even as good as the Dingling Pill of Tiannan Luoyun Sect, let alone the Jiuqu Lingshen Pill.
You should know that the ingredient of Dingling Pill is the essence of the Spirit Eye Tree.
This Spirit Eye Tree is known as one of the three sacred trees in the human world. Apart from Yunmeng Mountain, it is not certain whether there is a second one in the entire human world.
Li Mufeng of Dajin was not sure, but there was definitely no such thing in Chaos Star Sea.
However, Fengle Auction House itself estimates that there are only two or three Nascent Soul cultivators. Let alone a heaven-defying elixir like the Nine-bend Ginseng Pill, even the Dingling Pill would probably be held in their hands like a treasure and would never be put up for auction.
The fact that this Jade Spirit Pill could be taken out tells us that its effect is average. It is used in conjunction with other spiritual objects for forming an infant, so it is probably just a gimmick.
"The really good stuff like this must be in the hands of those guys in Xinggong."
Li Mufeng murmured that if he didn't want to wait for the Nine-bend Ginseng Pill later, he would probably have to find a way from Xinggong.
However, his current forces are all within the sphere of influence of Xinggong, so the risk is a bit high.
After all, this is the source of his earning spirit stones. Once it is destroyed, he will be back to the time before liberation.
Besides, if we really can't find it, we have the Nine-bend Ginseng Pill behind us, so there is no need to take the risk.
Going all in regardless of the situation is a foolish act of a reckless man!
"Has anything major happened in these years?"
Li Mufeng decided to look for information about the spiritual object that could form a baby on his own, and began to ask about other things.
"Nothing particularly big, just some trivial news basically."
"Tie Luo breaks through to the late stage of Jindan."
"Qingwen breaks through to the late stage of Jindan."
"Jiang Chen broke through to the late Jindan stage a year ago and is now consolidating his cultivation."
"Changsheng and Muxuan are also at the peak of the middle stage of Jindan. I think it is only a matter of time before they break through."
"Lord Pokong is also at the peak of the middle Jindan stage and is in seclusion to break through to the late Jindan stage."
"Lin Yi breaks through to the middle stage of Jindan."
"Jiang Kui has broken through to the middle stage of Jindan."
"Wang Ziling is in seclusion to break through to the middle stage of Jindan."
"Qi Yunxiao successfully formed a pill and mastered the methods of refining more than a dozen magic weapons."
"Sister Ruyin, I am currently in the false pill stage. My dragon body is a little unstable, so I have been hesitant to form a pill."
"Sister Yuan Yao also successfully broke through to the middle stage of Jindan not long ago."
"Sister Yanli has also been in the false elixir stage for a while. She has already mastered the intermediate-level talismans. I think she will be able to form an elixir in seclusion soon. After that, intermediate-level and high-level talismans will definitely not be a problem."
"Xiao Lan also successfully formed a pill."
"Cui Er also successfully formed the elixir."
"Gongyang Jingshan Dayan Jue broke through the third level and successfully formed a pill."
"The number of Shadan monks has reached thirty-five."
"Feng Ji, Tao Chang, and Gong Jianqu failed to form a pill once."
"An Puyu, Fan Pei, Gong Yulun, Zhu Yan, and Qiu Tong are in seclusion to form the elixir."
"The remaining few are still cultivating towards the Fake Dan realm."
"Also, there are several people under Qing Wen who seem to be close to the Fake Dan realm."
"In the past, many people in Xuanjian Village were in the false elixir stage and were preparing to form the elixir."
"Brother Xu can currently refine three kinds of magic weapons."
"."
The rest is just some trivial matters.
"Where's Qin Gang?"
Li Mufeng was not surprised that Gongyang Jingshan was the first to successfully form a pill. Gongyang Jingshan had some talent in practicing the Dayan Jue. However, Qin Gang's cultivation should be the most advanced among the twelve people, and he should be the first to start forming a pill.
Moreover, the Golden Light Technique he practiced was not an ordinary technique. The golden light he cultivated internally was also of certain help in forming the elixir.
"Qin Gang has failed to form a pill three times."
Su Feiyan replied.
"three times?"
"Why is this happening?"
Li Mufeng asked with some surprise.
"Xue Lan has examined Qin Gang before, and the answer is that there is an inexplicable curse power in Qin Gang's body, which seems to be related to the decline of the Qin family." "However, the curse power seems to be weakening because of Qin Gang's impact on the Dan formation. I think it will take some time before he can form a Dan again, and then there should be no problem."
Su Feiyan answered truthfully.
"The power of curse? The decline of the Qin family?" Li Mufeng frowned when he heard this, but he didn't say much.
In short, everything is moving in a good direction, and now they are only one Nascent Soul cultivator away from becoming a major force.
Currently, Li Mufeng and Xue Lan have both reached the pseudo-infant stage. Because Su Feiyan has to divide her attention to manage the Free Cultivator Chamber of Commerce, her cultivation has only reached the middle stage of the Core Formation stage, and is still a long way from perfection.
"Transfer Cui'er to Tianxing City to replace you. You should seize the time to improve your cultivation."
"Yes!"
"Then I wonder who Kuixing Island will let take over Cui'er's previous job. After all, Kuixing Island is the first stop on the way to Tiannan, and it is quite important."
"Let Jingshan take over for now. Isn't the Star Picking Conference about to be held? Let Jiang Chen take over the position of the island master of Kuixing Island, and then let Jingshan take over the Lingshi Mine."
"Okay, I'll go down and make arrangements right away."
Afterwards, Li Mufeng began to think.
Although there are many advantages to establishing a force, troubles are now coming.
He needs a lot of spiritual objects to form a baby.
The needs cannot be met by just one, two or a few items.
If the forces under his command want to develop healthily and for a long time, they must be like the long-standing sects such as Xinggong and Dajin, and have in their hands excellent renewable spiritual objects that can help cultivators to form infants.
It is not a problem that can be solved by the Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng.
"It's a bit troublesome."
No matter how capable Li Mufeng is, he has not yet mastered the ability to create something out of nothing.
"Forget it, let's first solve the matter of Xue Lan and I forming a baby, and then think of a way to deal with the rest."
Li Mufeng could only temporarily stop thinking about these issues that had no solutions.
He needs to plan more carefully for the future.
Soon after Li Mufeng issued the order, news spread through the Free-Roaming Cultivator Chamber of Commerce that the Blood Concubine would be in seclusion for a period of time, and the person who would take over the affairs was a female cultivator in the early stage of the Jindan stage named Xiao Cui'er.
The announcement of the famous and charming beauty in Tianxing City to go into seclusion made all the cultivators sad for a long time, but soon everyone discovered that the successor, Xiao Cui'er, was also a peerless beauty.
Her skin is as smooth as cream and her complexion is radiant and beautiful.
Soon, someone with ulterior motives found relevant information about Xiao Cui'er. She was the shopkeeper of the branch of the Sanxiu Chamber of Commerce on Kuixing Island. She had been in this position for decades and had just succeeded in forming a pill not long ago.
In recent years, as the Tianxing City Independent Cultivators' Chamber of Commerce has grown stronger and stronger, Kuixing Island has completely become a branch, and there is nothing that can be done about it.
There is really no comparison between Kuixing Island and Tianxing City.
As the information leaked out, visiting cards from various forces were sent to the Loose Cultivators' Chamber of Commerce. Everyone wanted to be the first to meet the successor to the Blood Concubine.
After more than a year, Xiao Cui'er, the successor, has become fully familiar with the business of Tianxing City and has become a qualified successor.
Because of her beautiful appearance, some people even gave Xiao Cui'er the nickname "Xiao Fei" in an attempt to compare her with Xue Fei.
As the Star Palace's once-in-a-century event, the Star Picking Conference, approaches, the entire Tianxing City has gradually begun to become lively.
The crowd was surging, and almost all the high-level monks in Chaos Star Sea gathered here.
Some of these cultivators came straight for the position of island master, some just wanted to broaden their horizons, exchange cultivation experiences with other fellow practitioners and make friends, and some wanted to take this opportunity to exchange materials, elixirs, and even skills. It was a gathering of many talents, and the Tianxing City was almost overcrowded at that time.
Most of those who came to this Star Picking Conference were Jindan cultivators. It was impossible for a Yuanying cultivator to take on the position of the master of an island outside the Star Palace.
It would be embarrassing to tell others about it and those spirit stones are not worth it. You can earn much more by doing any other side job.
However, there were also a large number of Nascent Soul cultivators who came to Tianxing City along with the group of Jindan cultivators.
Their target is the Tianxing Auction, a grand event held every hundred years by Fengle Auction House, the first business alliance in Chaos Star Sea!
The Star Picking Conference can be said to be the busiest period in Tianxing City, with the largest number of cultivators gathered.
Naturally, many chambers of commerce would not miss this good opportunity to earn spirit stones.
During the Star Picking Conference, the four major business alliances will hold auctions almost regularly.
The most famous of these is naturally the Tianxing Auction, which is held by Fengle Auction House, the first business alliance in Chaos Star Sea, which has spent a hundred years collecting treasures!
At this Tianxing Auction, there are not only many rare elixirs and magical materials for Jindan cultivators, but you can even buy spiritual objects that can assist in forming an infant.
For example, this time at the Tianxing auction, in addition to the Jade Spirit Pill, there are five or six other spiritual objects that can assist in forming a baby.
Although these spiritual objects are not even as good as the Jade Spirit Pill, they are indeed helpful for forming a fetus.
Li Mufeng just looked down on these ordinary goods because there were better options, but others had no extra choices.
The Jade Spirit Pill alone is enough to drive those cultivators in the late Jindan stage crazy.
There will even be quite a few Nascent Soul cultivators who come to buy the Jade Spirit Pill for their family's younger generations or disciples.
In addition, Fengle Auction House has spent nearly a hundred years in preparation, so it is naturally impossible for it to only focus on Jindan cultivators.
Nascent Soul cultivators are their real customers!
The wealth of a Nascent Soul cultivator is completely different from that of a Jindan cultivator. Naturally, Fengle Auction House is more willing to do business with Nascent Soul cultivators.
As a good opportunity to establish the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce, Li Mufeng's Chamber of Commerce will certainly not let it go.
However, his current independent cultivators' guild is still far from being comparable to the Fengle Auction House.
But he had also made sufficient preparations. He took out some things that Nascent Soul cultivators would like. He would feel sorry if he couldn't buy them, but he would not take huge risks for such things and go crazy snatching them in Tianxing City.
For example, ancient treasures!
Of course it is not an ordinary ancient treasure.
It was the "Masterpiece Ancient Treasure" that Li Mufeng had upgraded using the power of Ornn!
The two ordinary ancient treasures he took out were of top quality. After being upgraded by him, their power was already completely comparable to that of fine ancient treasures. I believe that there will definitely be Nascent Soul cultivators who will be interested in them.
In addition, there are four thousand-year-old elixirs.
As for high-level Jindan cultivators, Li Mufeng took out some magic weapon materials such as gold essence and silver essence, as well as spiritual medicines about 700 years old that were helpful to Jindan cultivators.
There are a dozen ordinary magic weapons refined by Qi Yunxiao and high-quality magic weapons that have been upgraded by him and are as powerful as ordinary ancient treasures!
These things are enough for them to pay a lot of money for it.
As for the low-level Jindan cultivators or even the foundation-building cultivators, Li Mufeng took out some spiritual medicines and pills for the foundation-building period, top-grade magical instruments, and several top-grade semi-magical instruments.
There are also several level five puppets, equivalent to the late stage of foundation building, and quite a few mid-level talismans.
On the one hand, it is to raise spirit stones, and on the other hand, it is to promote the reputation of the Free Cultivator Chamber of Commerce.
Today's independent cultivators' chambers of commerce have not gone out, so their influence is almost limited to the sea area near Tianxing City.
Now Li Mufeng wants to spread the reputation of the Loose Cultivators Chamber of Commerce through this group of cultivators from other sea areas who have come to Tianxing City, and even the demon-killing cultivators who have been fighting in the outer seas for many years.
This will also make it easier to purchase the high-level monster materials from them.
The current independent cultivators' chambers of commerce cannot compare with the old-established chambers of commerce in Chaos Star Sea in terms of fame and influence, so these cultivators basically will not sell the good things they have to them.
Fortunately, in recent years, Su Feiyan has cooperated with some local forces, so she is qualified to buy some good monster materials.
