Chapter 210: Dan Appears (Please Subscribe)
The next day, Wu Tao looked at the twenty explosive poison beads made of immortal butter floating in front of him, and he was very satisfied.
He also refined 100 non-toxic explosive poison beads, which only had the function of explosion and had no killing power to the late-stage cultivators of Qi Refining. However, this ordinary explosive bead was used to hide the Hundred Poison Beads.
After refining, Wu Tao began to practice and quietly waited for the arrival of the Foundation Establishment Pill Auction.
However, after being given the immortal butter, Wu Tao was even more cautious about everything.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the Foundation Establishment Pill Auction.
This month, whether in the flying boat or in the inn, he practiced with the Five Qi Pill. Therefore, this month, he improved eight progress and directly reached 27% progress.
This day, Wu Tao walked out of the inn and planned to go to the Spirit Beast Auction.
Walking down the street, Wu Tao found an empty alley. He put on the tiger robe and tiger mask that he had spent 200 middle-grade spirit stones on at the auction. He also changed his appearance and aura with the bone-shifting and shape-changing technique, which was considered as the second guarantee.
Then, he walked towards the scene of the spirit beast auction. On the way, Wu Tao found that many casual cultivators were wearing tiger robes and tiger masks, exactly the same.
Finally, when he walked into the main hall of the spirit beast auction, he found that all the casual cultivators who came to participate in the auction of the foundation-building pill were wearing this set of tiger robes and masks.
Wu Tao said in his heart: This spirit beast auction is really good at doing business.
He was also glad that he bought this tiger robe and tiger mask, otherwise, he would be the only one wearing something different in the whole hall, which would be too conspicuous. Once the foundation-building pill was competed for, he would definitely become the target of public criticism, even if it was not the foundation-building pill he had bought.
Just because it was too different.
Once the chaos started, everyone looked like a walking foundation-building pill.
Every casual cultivator who came in found a seat in the hall and waited for the auction to start.
This auction also had private rooms.
But private rooms were expensive and few, and in private rooms, it was easier to become a suspicious object and be noticed and attacked by others first. Therefore, over time, the auction of foundation-building pills was all held in the hall.
Everyone was the same, their auras were concealed, and there was no need to shout out the price. The auction jade card in hand could be bid by number, and no one knew that it was you who won the foundation-building pill.
Very secretive.
But not absolutely secretive.
Wu Tao sat on a chair, his hands covered by the robe, holding the auction jade card in his hand, quietly waiting for the auction to start.
The last time, the black-clothed masked casual cultivator sent him spirit stones, and he felt that he had a great chance of bidding for the foundation-building pill. Because he was an equipment refiner, other casual cultivators could not earn spirit stones as much as he did, and their wealth was definitely not as rich as his.
Moreover, he had the bone-shifting and shape-changing technique, which should not attract the attention of others.
Maybe he could quietly take the foundation-building pill away.
This is the best state.
Wu Tao is unwilling to fight if he can avoid it.
Once someone else gets it, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Everyone looks like a foundation-building pill, and you have to kill a lot of people to find the foundation-building pill.
"Why do I feel that this scene is designed by someone?" Wu Tao frowned slightly under his mask. He always felt that the auction of the foundation-building pill seemed to be controlled by an invisible big hand, causing the casual cultivators to fall into a situation of fighting and killing each other.
And the only ones who can do it are the immortal sects.
Just as Wu Tao was thinking, the auction began.
An old man went up to the second floor and sat down. On the auction table on the first floor, the immortal cultivator who presided over the auction also came up. He first greeted the old man on the second floor respectfully and said, "Thank you, Senior Zheng, for coming to the auction of the spirit beast."
Old Zheng nodded, and a trace of aura could not help but leak out. The casual cultivators present were all shocked. This is a foundation-building immortal cultivator.
Seeing that the crowd was a little strange, the host of the immortal cultivator smiled and said, "Let me introduce you to you. This is Mr. Zheng from the Beast Taming Sect, a senior who builds foundations. He usually guards the Beast Taming Immortal Cultivation City. This time, he is here to keep the peace."
"Everyone, the foundation-building pills are auctioned with spirit stones at the spirit beast auction. Outside the auction, you can fight for them however you like."
This is the rule for the casual cultivators.
The casual cultivators present were silent.
Wu Tao was also silent. He clearly felt the aura of Mr. Zheng, which was very powerful. Even though he was invincible in the Qi Refining Stage, he would only die if he faced him!
Unless Mr. Ding took action, he didn't want to develop a dependence on Mr. Ding.
Moreover, Mr. Ding was obviously injured and was recuperating in his mind. Otherwise, he would not be interested in the Yin Qi on the small corpse-digging coffin.
On the road to immortality, to achieve immortality, you still have to rely on yourself.
The Foundation Establishment Cultivator was brought out, and the independent cultivator was completely subdued. The presiding immortal cultivator was very satisfied. He smiled and said, "In this case, our auction will officially begin."
"The first item..."
Generally, in auctions like this, the Foundation Establishment Pill is the finale.
Although all people are here to bid for the Foundation Establishment Pill, some people may only have enough money for the entrance fee. They want the Foundation Establishment Pill because they want to have a chance to seize it, rather than to obtain it through bidding.
So, independent cultivators will still start bidding for these auction items.
For these auction items, independent cultivators who feel they have the ability to bid for the Foundation Establishment Pill will not be tempted, but will save spirit stones and wait for the Foundation Establishment Pill to be auctioned, such as Wu Tao.
Time passed slowly, and each item was slowly auctioned off, but the bidding price was not high. It would take two or three rounds of bidding at most before it would be auctioned off.
The last item was auctioned away, leaving only the Queen of Foundation Establishment Pills. The immortal cultivator who presided over the auction said: "Congratulations to the fellow Taoists in front of you for successfully bidding. After the auction is over, someone will come and take you to deliver the spiritual stones for auction. Taste."
Hearing this sentence, all the casual cultivators were slightly moved in their hearts. The successful bidder will be taken away by the people at the auction house. Isn't that an opportunity to be screened?
At that time, the immortal cultivators who bid for the Foundation Establishment Pill will also be screened out in this way.
All they have to do is squat outside the auction house after the auction ends, watch who comes out last, and rob them.
Those casual cultivators who had successfully bid in the auction before could not express their sorrow. Wasn't the auction a trap for them?
The presiding cultivator smiled slightly and continued: "Okay, let's auction the final item. I think all the fellow Taoists present are here for this... That is the Foundation Establishment Pill..."
A female cultivator brought a wooden box with both hands. The person in charge of cultivating immortals opened the wooden box, and a blue pill appeared in front of everyone, which was the Foundation Establishment Pill.
"Without further ado, let's start the auction for the Foundation Establishment Pill. The starting price is ten pieces of high-grade spiritual stones. Each time the price is increased, it must not be lower than one high-grade spiritual stone."
"Start bidding!"
