Dao Companions Help Me Live Forever

Chapter 139: Three Foundation Building Pills

Shangyang Auction House.

Although Yu Xian was absent, it did not hinder the liveliness of the auction.

After each rare treasure was brought up to the auction stage, everyone's enthusiasm was ignited, and the bidding voices were continuous, creating a lively atmosphere.

In the middle of a super-sized VIP room, this was originally an exclusive room for Dan Yang Zhenren and was never sold to the public.

However, since the construction of the auction house, this room has always been empty until today when it welcomed its first guest.

There were a total of four seats in the room.

Dan Yang Zhenren sat on the far right, next to him was Zhang Yan, the true disciple of Xuan Yang Sect.

Next to them was Chen Yi, who covered her face with a light veil and had a cold temperament, as well as Yu Zhenren, who had a lazy smile on her face. Her mood seemed to be good.

As for Chen Xiao, he stood at the door in a protective posture.

"Although the auction items here are not very valuable, there are still some exquisite things in this remote place. Chen Junior Sister, do you have any items you are interested in? Senior Brother will buy them for you as a small souvenir," Zhang Yan said with an air of not lacking money, and his words were somewhat forceful.

Chen Yi replied indifferently, "Thank you, Senior Brother Zhang, but Xuan Yin Sect doesn't lack these few spirit stones."

Zhang Yan's face stiffened, and there was a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

As a true disciple of Xuan Yang Sect, he was already accustomed to the flattery of those around him. In his daily life, he interacted with powerful figures or ancient family ancestors. With just a word from him, he could determine the fate of someone like Dan Yang Zhenren, who was on the edge of Gold Core. If he got angry, he could make the city collapse, leaving corpses everywhere and blood flowing like a river.

What he wanted, he could get.

He hadn't tried to please others for a long, long time.

However, in front of this Junior Sister Chen, he repeatedly hit a wall and was about to exhaust his patience.

Seeing this, Yu Zhenren smiled and tried to mediate.

"Don't mind, Junior Brother Zhang. Junior Sister Chen's journey to fulfill her worldly desires didn't go smoothly this time, and she's a bit frustrated. It's not directed at you."

Zhang Yan still didn't know that Chen Yi's worldly desire was her lover, otherwise he probably wouldn't be sitting here so calmly.

"Oh, I wonder if Junior Sister Chen can tell me how things are here. After all, this is the territory of Xuan Yang Sect, so it should be more convenient for Junior Sister," Zhang Yan asked, trying to be helpful.

Chen Yi glanced at her Senior Sister and shook her head. "It's a personal matter, and it's inconvenient to trouble Senior Brother."

However, in her mind, scenes of her journey to Yue Country flashed by.

For her and Chen Xiao now, the Sea of Death was no longer a threat to them. They had successfully crossed it in just two days.

After arriving in Yue Country, she went straight to Changning County, hoping to find Yu Xian.

However, after twenty years of changes, coupled with the impact of war, Changning City was no longer the same as she remembered, and even the Fu Wang Mansion was gone.

Fortunately, she found her sister.

After so many years, her sister was already a nearly fifty-year-old woman.

Her former beauty and graceful figure no longer existed, and years of labor had left her hands and face full of vicissitudes.

She learned about Yu Xian from her sister.

He had been here before, bringing with him a jade orchid and leaving behind a lot of silver.

Speaking of that silver, her sister was very happy and said that it had solved a lot of her troubles.

Chen Yi was also very happy.

She knew that Yu Xian had no reason to be with her sister, so it must be because of her.

But she still didn't know where Yu Xian was.

It wasn't until her sister casually mentioned the Fu Wang Mansion, where the former Fu Wang Fei became the Empress Dowager and the little world prince became the emperor.

So Chen Yi sought out the current Empress Dowager, the former Fu Wang Fei.

Perhaps she would know something.

Late at night, she sneaked into the palace and used illusion magic to control the Fu Wang Fei, asking about news of Yu Xian. That's when she found out about everything that had happened after she left.

This naturally included the relationship between the Fu Wang Fei and Yu Xian, as well as Yu Xian leaving with Yu Lan to the cultivation world.

Chen Yi looked at the Wang Fei as she spoke about Yu Xian with a sorrowful and gloomy expression, feeling a sense of empathy.

He was just that heartless.

At the same time, a series of questions arose in her mind.

Clearly, he was a cultivator, so why did he send her away? Why didn't he want to leave with her?

If something happened to her on the way, and they were forever separated, would he be even a little bit sad?

Was there something about her that couldn't compare to Yu Lan?

She had put in so much effort, so much scheming, just to see him earlier. But what exactly was she in his heart?

If it was all a lie from the beginning, then how many of the sweet words he had said to her were true and how many were false?

The beliefs that had once supported her and kept her going, were they just her wishful thinking, a joke?

Chen Yi had too many questions she wanted to ask Yu Xian.

But this could also be considered somewhat good news.

Since Yu Xian was a cultivator, he naturally wouldn't age or die so easily.

Based on his age, if everything went smoothly, he might already be preparing for Foundation Building, or even have already achieved it.

That would greatly narrow down the scope of her search for Yu Xian.

At that moment, she had the impulse to reveal all of Yu Xian's information.

As long as he had appeared before, there must be traces left behind. With the resources of the Xuan Yang Sect, it would be much easier for them to find him than for her.

But she held back.

Because she knew that if someone else found Yu Xian, he would inevitably face death.

Neither the Xuan Yang Sect nor the Xuan Yin Sect would let Yu Xian go.

Until she had clarified those questions, she wouldn't let Yu Xian die.

This time, she impulsively participated in Dan Yang Zhenren's auction, with the mentality of "just in case". After all, in the entire cultivation world of Shang Yang City, this was the easiest place to obtain Foundation Building pills.

If Yu Xian wanted to achieve Foundation Building, he would inevitably come here.

Her divine sense quietly swept through the entire auction house.

Even those private rooms concealed by formations and the guests who concealed their identities with various secret techniques and spiritual treasures couldn't escape her divine sense investigation.

As the number one genius of the Xuan Yin Sect for thousands of years, if she were to be underestimated with a divine sense cultivation level comparable to an ordinary Foundation Building cultivator, that would be too naive.

Even an ordinary Gold Core cultivator might not be able to surpass her in terms of divine sense level.

With ten years of accumulation and the infusion of countless resources from the Xuan Yin Sect, her foundation was unimaginable for ordinary people.

The auction is still ongoing.

Seeing Chen Yi's unwillingness to speak, Zhang Yan also felt a bit proud. Since he didn't want to talk to him, he wouldn't bother with him either.

He casually said, "Elder Liu, a few days ago you personally helped me with my spirit beast, causing quite a stir in the city. The lively scene we created was dampened by my disobedient little dragon, causing you quite a bit of loss, right?"

Dan Yang Zhenren put on a smiling face, trying to please him, saying, "These wild cultivators actually dare to deceive Zhang Zhenchuan's spirit beast. They are simply not worth pitying. If it weren't for me, an elder of the sect, stationed here, they would have been devoured by the demonic beasts in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range long ago. But instead of being grateful, they even insulted the true transmission spirit beast. If I don't take action, outsiders will see through our Xuan Yang Sect. If it weren't for the kindness of the true transmission, I would have wiped out their family bloodline to serve as a warning to others. As for the auction, it's just a game, a small loss. How can it compare to the face of the sect?"

Zhang Yan laughed, "Elder Liu, you're exaggerating. How does my little spirit beast affect the face of the sect?"

Dan Yang Zhenren was also desperate to be transferred back to the sect.

"The spirit beast belongs to Zhang Zhenchuan. If they bully the spirit beast, they are slapping the face of the true transmission, and the true transmission is the representative of the Xuan Yang Sect. How can it not be considered the face of the sect?"

"Haha, Elder Liu, don't say such things outside. Our Xuan Yang Sect has three great true transmissions, and I am just one of them."

As he spoke, Zhang Yan subtly glanced at Chen Yi.

See that? Even a Gold Core true transmission wants to please me. You, a mere Foundation Building cultivator who hasn't even broken through to Gold Core, wouldn't have received so much favor if it weren't for the face of the Xuan Yin Sect.

Unfortunately, this flirtatious look was wasted on a blind man.

Until the end of the auction.

Chen Yi still hadn't found any trace of Yu Xian.

But by now, she no longer felt impatient as when she first arrived.

As long as Yu Xian was still in the Upper Yang City cultivation world, she would definitely find him.

"Sister, let's go back. There are some things I want to discuss with you."

"Okay." Yu Zhenren greeted Zhang Yan, "Junior Brother Zhang, my junior sister and I will return to the palace. Have fun."

After the three of them left, Zhang Yan's smile disappeared.

"Elder Liu?"

"I'm here," Dan Yang Zhenren swallowed his saliva.

"I'm very angry right now. Bring me the map of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range. I want to slaughter a few Demon Kings to vent my anger."

Flames flickered in Zhang Yan's eyes, and the air suddenly became hot.

"Yes," Dan Yang Zhenren's heart trembled.

Heaven help him, he was only on the same level as an ordinary Demon King.

He began to mourn for the next guardian. If the Demon Kings were slaughtered, the next wave of beasts would surely seek revenge.

...

Upper Yang Mountain, Cave Mansion No. 21.

Upper Yang City has the business of leasing cave mansions. Many cultivators who bought Foundation Building pills at the auction would rent a cave mansion and wait until they finished consuming them before leaving the city.

Many Foundation Building cultivators have made breakthroughs in these caves.

Moreover, these caves are located above spiritual veins, with abundant spiritual energy. There is no need to worry about insufficient spiritual energy during breakthroughs.

"Lord Guest, I am honored to fulfill your request."

The steward of the Zhao family entered the cave and presented a jade bottle with a round and golden Foundation Building Pill inside.

If one were to look closely, they would notice that his hands were trembling.

If it weren't for knowing that he had been marked by the Lord Guest's divine sense, and that his whole family was living under the Zhao family, he would have had the urge to flee with the money.

"This Foundation Building Pill cost ten thousand two hundred spiritual stones, slightly more expensive than before. Everyone fought fiercely for it."

"It doesn't matter. I said that anything within fifteen thousand spiritual stones would be considered a merit."

Yu Xian took the Foundation Building Pill and also took the storage bag handed to him by the steward.

Inside were fifteen thousand spiritual stones, and now only three thousand remained. He took out one hundred spiritual stones.

"This is your reward. Well done."

"Thank you, Lord Guest."

The steward knew that the ten thousand spiritual stones were not his, but the one hundred spiritual stones were truly his.

He put away the spiritual stones and expressed his gratitude repeatedly.

"You can cultivate here. I rented it for a month, so don't waste it."

Yu Xian patted the steward's shoulder, then disappeared quietly and quickly.

Although there were some twists and turns during his trip to Shangyang City, and the auction went smoothly without any unexpected incidents, scaring himself a little, it was not a big deal. With two Foundation Building Pills in his hand, plus the promise of a third Foundation Building Pill from Mo Dan, his goal had been perfectly achieved.

"Yulan, oh Yulan, I have worried so much for you."

Yu Xian quietly left Shangyang City, taking one last look.

Just as he looked back, the sky and earth changed, dark clouds gathered, thunder roared, and a tremendous aura pressed down for dozens of miles.

"Gold Core Tribulation!"

Yu Xian paused for a moment, then ran even faster.

...

At the same time.

On Shangyang Mountain.

Fish True Immortal had an incredulous expression as he tried to stop his foolish junior sister.

"Junior sister, are you trying to get yourself killed?"

Chen Yi smiled faintly and faced the arrival of the Gold Core Tribulation, softly saying,

"Sister, if there is something I want to do, I will definitely do it. You can't stop me now."

She glanced lightly at the tribulation in the sky, took light steps, one step at a time, until she faced the tribulation directly.

"A mere tribulation, do you think you can stop me?"

Then, her long hair fluttered, and a brilliant light appeared behind her. Countless patterns emerged, and a green and white flying sword flew out from the gourd at her waist, striking the sky full of thunderclouds.

Boom!

The tribulation began.
