Chapter 320 October 1st

In the small courtyard, the Jade Hoe Ancestor was silent, and Ding Kaishan, who was standing at the base, naturally did not dare to say anything.

"The Killer Alliance is out of business?"

"yes!"

"Good boy! The old man fought tooth and nail with the God of Death to the death of both sides, but he couldn't make the Killer Alliance lose a hair. With his silent plan, the Killer Alliance was completely put to rest. This plan made the Killer Alliance completely put to rest. It makes people shudder!" After saying that, he glanced at Ding Kaishan and the Jade Hoe Patriarch shook his head slightly. The most outstanding disciple of the Nong family was still a little behind! It's just that Xiao Mian is not a disciple of the peasant family after all. In the eyes of the ancestor of Jade Hoe, Ding Kaishan is naturally much closer. He smiled calmly and said: "Kaishan! Don't dwell on the past, think about the auction. !”

"Yes! According to what you said, the spiritual materials for this auction have been prepared. Although the total amount of conventional spiritual materials has shrunk somewhat, the types and quantities of top-level spiritual materials are actually higher than in previous years. . However, this uses the secret treasury of our peasant family..."

When Ding Kaishan said this, he felt a bit pained, but the Jade Hoe Ancestor looked calm.

"It doesn't matter! The secret treasury is meant to be used when it should be used. If the farm family goes into decline, the secret treasury will be used as wedding clothes for others. By using the secret treasury this time, the old man wants to let everyone in Wanzong City know: Ordinary Spirit The Bai family may also be able to cultivate them, but those top-notch spiritual materials are only available to me - the Bai family is not qualified!"

"yes!"

"By the way! Has Xiao Mian been silent since he came back?"

"He has been busy practicing. According to him, he is afraid that he is about to pass through the Small Heavenly Tribulation!"

Small heavenly tribulations are the heavenly tribulations that monks have to go through when forming elixirs, which are compared to the great heavenly tribulations that monks have to endure when they advance to Nascent Soul.

"Small Heavenly Tribulation? Yes! It is said that what this boy achieved back then was the ninth-grade Taoist foundation, which is considered extraordinary in Nanyue Prefecture. Among the young people of your generation, there seem to be only three people, Bai Jintang, Honglianhua and Yin Jiansheng. What was forged was the ninth-grade Taoist foundation. It was no surprise that these three people formed elixirs one after another, and they are considered to be the leaders of the new generation! Now, this Xiao Mian is quite a bit like a latecomer..."

"Brother Xiao actually forged a ninth-grade Taoist foundation? No wonder he has only been cultivating Taoism for more than ten years and has already reached the stage where he is about to form an elixir. His disciples are only eighth-grade Taoist foundations..."

"Kaishan! Along the way of cultivating Taoism, your ambition is the first! Back then, old man, I only forged a seventh-grade Taoist foundation, which was worse than you are now. How many young talents have forged eighth-grade or even ninth-grade Taoist foundations, but what about now? Although the old man is because of It was just a matter of sheer luck that I got that jade hoe, but this is an opportunity that no one would envy! What about them?"

"My disciple has learned a lesson!"

"If you have nothing to do, learn from Xiao Mian, practice Taoism, practice the word 'cultivation'!"

"Yes! Disciple, please resign!"

After Ding Kaishan left, the Jade Hoe Ancestor closed his eyes and meditated.

But if these two men knew that what Xiao Mian created was not a ninth-grade Taoist foundation, but a super-grade Taoist foundation, I don't know how they would feel.

In the entire Nanyue Prefecture, Xiao Mian is the only one who has built a super-grade Taoist foundation!

At this time, Xiao Mian was not meditating, but in a daze.

There was a storage bag in front of Xiao Mian, which was given to him by the Jade Hoe Ancestor a few days ago. However, in this assassination storm that swept through the entire Wan Zong City's young generation of outstanding disciples, Xiao Mian couldn't help but wear a human skin mask. He made two moves, and both times the target was Xi Yingyan. Although the bids were higher each time, the total number of spirit stones spent was far from what Xiao Mian had expected - this was because Xi Yingyan's reaction exceeded Xiao Mian's prediction thus saved the later investment in spiritual stones.

The problem Xiao Mian faced now was how to deal with these spiritual stones.

It stands to reason that Xiao Mian's current wealth is enough to arouse their greed and murderous intentions even in the eyes of some powerful Jindan people. However, most of Xiao Mian's possessions are spiritual materials and artifacts that cannot be seen in the light or are reserved for his own use in the future. , but there are not many spirit stones that can really be used to flow, or at least not up to Xiao Mian's expectations.

Of course, this is directly related to Xiao Mian's preparation to participate in the Golden Core Realm Auction. Although Xiao Mian is still only a foundation-building monk now, seeing that the tribulation is imminent, Xiao Mian can no longer waste time, energy and spiritual stones to participate in foundation-building. Realm auction, buy back some things that you don't like at all or that won't last long.

After the experience in Lingchuanfang City in the past few years, Xiao Mian knew that once anything entered the golden elixir level, the starting price and final transaction price would often be sky-high prices, which were by no means comparable to the foundation level. This directly led to Xiao Mian's Extreme desire for spiritual stones.

However, this bag of spirit stones was given by the Jade Hoe Ancestor after all. Although the Jade Hoe Ancestor was unlikely to know how many spirit stones were left in the storage bag, or even if he knew, he wouldn't care, Xiao Mian still couldn't get past him. That's why I'm struggling with that.

"Hmph! Take it if you want it, return it if you don't want it, why is it so troublesome!" Guitou couldn't bear it, and he didn't miss the opportunity to sarcastically say to Xiao Mian: "I am a Taoist who is dedicated to the Tao and goes straight to my heart. , You want these spiritual stones now, but you are unwilling to bear the pressure in your heart. Your pretentiousness will only weaken your fighting spirit, destroy your Taoist heart, and then lose your qualifications to enter a higher realm!"

After saying these words, Xiao Mian broke into cold sweat.

"Thank you, old Ghost, for waking me up. I've learned a lot!" After wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Xiao Mian resolutely took the storage bag into his arms and said calmly, "I'll take it. At most, I'll compensate the Nong Family Clan in the future!"

"That's right! You are a young man that I, old Ghost, have high hopes for. Your future achievements will at least be at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and you will be one of the top existences in this world. As long as the Nong Family Clan survives, you can just give them some advice!"

Gui Tou kept encouraging Xiao Mian, and of course he had his own selfish motives.

If it is said that Guitou was dormant in Xiao Mian's Qihai acupoint at the beginning because he had to bow his head due to the situation, then after these years of getting along, especially after devouring the soul of Yuanyuan Zhenren, Guitou is now more and more dependent on Xiao Mian. On the one hand, it is because Xiao Mian's qualifications and character make Guitou look up to him. On the other hand, it is because Guitou clearly realizes that only by being with Xiao Mian can he have the opportunity to devour the souls of more Jindan strongmen, and even the souls of Yuanying ancestors in the future. Only by constantly devouring the souls of strongmen can he restore his strength.

In other words, Guitou and Xiao Mian are in a relationship of prosperity and loss.

Xiao Mian didn't care much about Guitou's thoughts. After taking the storage bag of Yuchu Patriarch as his own, although Xiao Mian's spirit stones still had some gaps, they were much better than before, enough for Xiao Mian to purchase some attractive Jindan-level artifacts at the auction.

In addition, today is September 29th, and there are only two days before the auction on October 1st. Even if Xiao Mian wants to make some extra money, it is probably like digging a well when thirsty, and it is like a drop in the bucket.

Thinking of this, Xiao Mian simply calmed down and practiced, repeating the tricky method of doing things against the grain, trying to condense one or two more points of true essence for emergency use.

Time in practice always passes quickly, the sun rises and the moon sets, and two days pass in a flash.

October 1st, early morning, Tianmen District, the center.

The center of Tianmen District is the legendary Tianmen.

The so-called Tianmen is the only way from the surface of Wanzong City to the three sacred mountains hanging in the air. In fact, it is a cylindrical building that rises straight into the clouds.

From the outside, the diameter of Tianmen is only ten feet, but the internal space is extremely wide. Naturally, it is engraved with a space array, with a gate in the east, west, south and north, and a height of ten thousand feet. Every ten feet is a layer, and there are nine hundred and ninety-nine layers in total. According to the practice of previous years, the auction of foundation-building cultivators is held on the 333rd floor, and the auction of Jindan cultivators is held on the 666th floor. As for the highest-level auction of Yuanying cultivators, it is naturally held on the top floor. The strict hierarchy of the cultivation world can be seen from this.

On the first day of October, thousands of cultivators gathered outside Tianmen, but not all of them came to participate in the auction. After all, even the lowest-level auction of foundation-building cultivators has an admission fee of one thousand low-grade spirit stones, which is not something that every casual cultivator can afford. Most of them came to see the excitement.

It was almost noon, and when the Heavenly Gate was about to open, more and more well-known cultivators appeared near the Heavenly Gate. Of course, most of them were from the nine major schools, but there were also many independent cultivators with good reputations. When these people appeared or were discovered, they would often set off a wave of exclamations at the scene. When Bai Jintang, the eldest son of the Bai family, appeared, countless female cultivators screamed, and those who didn't know thought something big had happened.

It was amid waves of exclamations that Xiao Mian quietly arrived at the scene.
