"If I say the biggest gain this time, little friend, it is none other than these five thousand spiritual stones..." Qi Zongkai clenched one of them enviously: "Our Jin Dou Hall has been established for hundreds of years, and we have the opportunity to see so many high-grade spiritual stones at one time. Definitely not much."

"Oh?" Xu Yangyi asked calmly: "Are high-grade spiritual stones so precious?"

"It's more than precious..." Qi Zongkai was about to speak, but suddenly he didn't know what to say, and said with some envy: "Ordinary Qi training monks, in the middle stage of Qi training, treat a middle-grade spiritual stone as a treasure, and a top-grade... that's It’s something that can only be enjoyed by seniors at the foundation level. I didn’t expect that... you, a qi cultivator, are now richer than most seniors at the foundation level.”

Sighing, he straightened his expression and said in a familiar tone: "Little friend, please remember that spiritual stones can only be exchanged from low to high, and no one will exchange them from high to low."

"In the world of cultivation, the hardest currency is actually the middle-grade spiritual stone. Because the high-grade spiritual stone has been divided into five elements. The one in my hand is the fire-attributed spiritual stone. After the foundation is established, the world will be very different. Tai There are many talismans, magic weapons, and spiritual stones with corresponding attributes, which are absolutely impossible to achieve with medium-grade spiritual stones.”

Xu Yangyi absorbed this knowledge like a sponge, and then said: "Senior, spiritual stones are consumables, are they becoming less and less now?"

Qi Zongkai was stunned and shook his head: "It's strange... the spirit stone... never decreases. Do you know that Huaxia Kaiyuan Bank, the largest bank in the Chinese cultivation world? It is under CSIB. Anxiang Ancestor once hinted that even if The world of cultivation no longer exists, and it is impossible to consume all the spiritual stones.”

It seems that there are some stories here that I don't know about. Xu Yangyi was not that curious and said with a smile: "Thanks for the advice."

"Advice doesn't count, but Xu Xiaoyou keeps being so polite. Could it be that he looks down on me? What's there to say thank you for?" Qi Zongkai secretly sighed in his heart. This boy will become a great person in the future. Today, it can be said that he is wearing a yellow robe, and he will reach the top in one day. God, however, the other party did not have a trace of arrogance. He was such an obvious olive branch, but the other party was not like ordinary Qi-training monks. After a great opportunity, a Foundation-building monk showed his favor. He immediately didn't know why, and instead thought about it again and again.

The firmness of his mind is not to mention unique, but considering how many people he has seen at the Qizong Kaijin Dootang auction, he is enough to be ranked among the top ten of the best seeds!

People are a bit mean. The more we cannot ask for, the more we cherish it. Xu Yangyi's caution after getting a big opportunity now made Qi Zongkai more determined to deepen the relationship between the two parties.

Determined to make such a good karma, he laughed out loud and suppressed his smile: "This time, Jin Doutang only drew the spirit stone. For the rest, he won't take any points."

"I have a small request..." Qi Zongkai took a thousand steps forward, his eyes burning: "If... that master, if you have any new works next time, can you... let me plan it?"

"This time is the first time for alchemy, and the time is too hasty. Next time, I promise! There will be the top planning team! Publicity team! At the same time, all auction houses are 10%, and our Jindou Hall only Take 5% of the profits! How about giving an extra 2% of the profits to your friends!”

"That depends on what the alchemist wants." Xu Yangyi said with a smile, but did not agree. This is not the only auction house in the cultivation world.

"Haha, that's natural. I just hope that I can inform our bank in advance before the next auction..." Qi Zongkai's eyes flickered, and he held Xu Yangyi's hand enthusiastically, and a small ring slipped onto Xu Yangyi's finger.

"It's a small meaning." He looked at the ring with regret, and took a few seconds to look away: "The Baicao Ring has a space of one hundred square kilometers inside. It is a world of its own, with soil, spiritual springs, and even There are ten kilometers dedicated to simulating various harsh environments where spiritual plants can grow freely. However, it is only necessary to fill it with enough spiritual stones. "

What a good thing... Xu Yangyi looked at the second ring on his finger and accepted it with a smile.

"It can be regarded as a little greeting gift from me." Qi Zongkai lowered his voice and said with narrowed eyes: "If... this gentleman is willing to hand over the elixirs he refines in the future to this hall for sale, we are willing to sell them for free without charging any fees."

Xu Yangyi cupped his hands and said, "But... Jin Doutang doesn't seem to be a sales channel?"

"Yes or no, it all depends on what the gentleman says." Qi Zongkai smiled slightly and was about to speak. Suddenly, the vortex at the entrance of the space shook slightly, and an eager monk in the Qi training stage walked in quickly.

"Senior!" After the monk bowed, he immediately said a few words in Qi Zongkai's ear. Qi Zongkai's eyes flashed, and he waved his hand to let the other party leave. Then he said seriously to Xu Yangyi: "I originally wanted to stay with my fellow Taoist to talk for a while, but it seems that there is only next time."

He looked deeply at Xu Yangyi: "Ancestor Gu Song summoned me, little friend, you are really a great opportunity."

Xu Yangyi's eyes lit up and he nodded calmly.

Gu Song will definitely meet him.

This time, he lurked under the turbulent general trend, turning his hands into clouds and rain. Several golden elixirs were even provoked by him to fight each other. There were some things that others didn't know, only he and Master Gu Song knew.

For that six/four-point account, Gu Song would definitely meet him.

Immediately afterwards, he was surprised to find that his shadow had turned into a dark magic circle at some point, and his whole body was slowly sinking into the magic circle!

As if immersed in a river, his body was soft all around. After a few seconds, when he opened his eyes again, he was already in a magnificent hall.

The whole hall was mainly black, with no end in sight. Countless dragon-shaped pillars were lined up on both sides. Under some of the pillars, a calm-looking foundation-building monk stood with his hands hanging down. In the center, following the long white carpet upward, a black throne was visible.

Three unicorns carved from unknown materials formed the throne. On the throne, an old man with white hair, wearing an ancient robe, leisurely stroked the head of the unicorn armrest on his left hand with one hand, and supported his wrinkled head with the other hand. One leg was lazily crossed over the other leg, and the rising black spiritual energy in the seven orifices burned like a raging fire.

Silence, extreme silence. It seemed that no one could speak loudly here. It was like coming to the ancient court, and the man on the unicorn throne was the king of a country here.

The spiritual pressure did not spread, but was quite restrained. However, here, it was as restrained as the substance. In all directions, the shadows under the precious light seemed to have pairs of eyes, watching this endless court.

A stream of spiritual consciousness passed through Xu Yangyi. He remained calm and walked to ten meters in front of the throne. Then he knelt on one knee and pounded his chest with one hand: "Xu Yangyi, the leader of the Xingtian Corps, a Class A Corps under the Yulin Guard, pays homage to Master Gusong."

Without speaking, Xu Yangyi maintained his original posture, only feeling a vague gaze looking at him.

From inside to outside, carefully.

A show of strength? His expression was unmoved, and the spiritual energy in his body was circulating, resisting the terrifying spiritual pressure that was almost enough to hurt him.

It was like a cage of black shadows, slowly closing in from this boundless hall, and the outside of his body seemed to be carrying a thick shell. When the cage closed, it was the time for his physical body to collapse.

There was no change in Gusong's eyes, he just looked at him calmly.

One minute, two minutes... five minutes passed, Gusong smiled: "Outstanding talent... interesting."

Before Xu Yangyi could breathe a sigh of relief, the other party's next voice came: "So, how about trying this?"

"Boom!" As soon as the voice fell, as long as there was light, those shadows were attracted by magnets and rushed towards Xu Yangyi frantically! It was as if he had become a black hole at this moment, desperately absorbing all the shadows in the field!

Xu Yangyi instinctively wanted to protect himself, and his spiritual energy was running to the extreme in an instant, but the next second, he was suppressed by him.

"Swish..." The invisible shadow attached to his body, but it seemed to weigh tens of thousands of pounds! His physical body had just practiced the Eternal Pill Sutra King, and had already undergone the first round of transformation. Although he himself did not feel the obvious effect, it was actually much stronger than the cultivators of the same level.

However, at this moment, even he couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

This was probably how Sun Wukong felt when he was pressed under the Five Elements Mountain... He even felt his bones "cracking"!

After an unknown amount of time, the pressure on his body suddenly dissipated, and his eyes blurred slightly, and he realized that the ground in front of him was actually wet.

That was his sweat.

"Stand up." The voice of Gusong Zhenren came again.

"Yes." Xu Yangyi gritted his teeth and supported his body. Now his body seemed to have been crushed by a steamroller, and every bone was extremely sore.

"Congratulations, Master!" Several voices below said in unison.

"Hehe..." The black light in Gusong's seven orifices flickered gently, and he asked the person on his left leisurely: "Yuyangzi, what do you think of this boy's qualifications?"

It was a young man wearing a neat suit and a big back hair. He bowed respectfully: "Replying to Master, he can hold on for seven minutes under Master's shadow, and his qualifications are better than Yuyangzi."

"Oh?" Gusong tapped the armrest with a smile: "Yuyangzi, how long have you been my disciple?"

Xu Yangyi seemed to understand something, his eyes flashed suddenly, and he lowered his head, suppressing the fiery mood in his heart and muttering in silence.

"Seventy-eight years, Master."

"The disciples of this real person talk and laugh with great scholars, and there are no unlearned people. Come, Yuyangzi, tell this real person, among the cultivators you have seen over the years, where does this boy's qualifications rank?"

At the scene, everyone seemed to understand a little at this moment, and a series of obscure spiritual consciousness, with envy or jealous eyes, looked at Xu Yangyi standing quietly.

Yu Yangzi was silent for a few seconds, and finally, he raised his head and bowed his hands, and said carefully: "It is enough to be ranked in the top three."

"Top three?" Gu Song Zhenren's voice was obviously full of laughter.

"Yes." Yu Yangzi said carefully: "Fifty years ago, Hua Feihua, the leader of the Demon City, entered the foundation-building stage with thirty-nine years of cultivation, and was the first person after the destruction of the sun."

"Fifteen years ago, Gongye Linghua was born in the Gongye family of the demon cultivator in Nanhe Province. His bloodline returned to his ancestors as high as 82%, and he was called the first demon cultivator in fifty years."

Gu Song smiled slightly, and then said something that shocked everyone.

"This boy should be the first."
