I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 153 Auction

"Oh?" Lin Xuzhe and Lin Xuchang were both somewhat surprised. Chiyang Immortal City? They were the ones who went there first before going to other places.

"Are you sure? It seems that Chiyang Immortal City currently doesn't have a source of Foundation Building Grass," Lin Xuzhe said again.

"Fellow Daoists, this is the information given to us by our family master. Why don't you go and take a look at Chiyang Immortal City now?"

Lin Xuzhe and Lin Xuchang glanced at each other, then clasped their hands and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Fellow Daoist."

After the Foundation Building cultivator left, Lin Xuzhe spoke up, "The Zhou family is quite interesting. They told us they don't have it, but they say Chiyang Immortal City does. If what they said is true and Chiyang Immortal City and Baibao Tower are making moves, then they did us a favor by coming to tell us."

"Perhaps this is their way of not offending each other over the years," Lin Xuchang said on the side.

Lin Xuzhe had only reached the second level of Foundation Building cultivation in all these years, while Lin Xuchang had already reached the third level. Together, they were valued by the Zhou family, not to mention the Lin family behind them. Over the years, the name of the Lin family in the mountains had been known by the various clans of Zhao Kingdom.

"So shall we go to Chiyang Immortal City?" Lin Xuzhe looked at Lin Xuchang.

Lin Xuchang nodded. "Let's go to Chiyang Immortal City first. I think the chances of finding Foundation Building Grass in these cultivation families are slim."

"Alright."

Lin Xuzhe put away the information given by Yipin Pavilion, and the two of them headed towards Chiyang Immortal City.

When they inquired upon arriving at Chiyang Immortal City, it turned out that there were indeed some movements between Chiyang Immortal City and Baibao Tower, but it was only a sign. Lin Xuzhe and Lin Xuchang could only wait patiently.

They waited for more than a year.

During this year, as news of Patriarch Zhu's death spread, Lin Xuzhe and Lin Xuchang also witnessed the changes in Chiyang Immortal City. It became even more prosperous than before.

Barring any accidents, Chiyang Immortal City was likely to become a major force in Zhao Kingdom in the future.

During the waiting period, Lin Xuzhe and Lin Xuchang also learned that Chiyang Immortal City seemed to have a hidden alliance with Baibao Tower. No one dared to confirm this, but no one dared to deny it either.

There were even rumors that Baibao Tower in Xuan Yu Lane seemed to be on the verge of closing down, which served as evidence.

After patiently waiting for more than a year, they finally received confirmed news that Chiyang Immortal City had indeed joined forces with Baibao Tower. The two sides would then jointly hold an auction. This auction was not like the random ones before. From this point on, Chiyang Immortal City would hold a small auction every two years and a large auction every five years. This auction was a semi-large auction, and both Baibao Tower and Chiyang Immortal City had brought out good items. There was no shortage of Foundation Building Pills, but it seemed that there was no Foundation Building Grass.

Upon hearing this news, Lin Xuzhe and Lin Xuchang were somewhat delighted. Finally, they hadn't waited in vain. Having Foundation Building Pills was enough.

And they were confident in obtaining the Foundation Building Pills. The two of them had brought along fifty to sixty thousand spirit stones on this trip, relying on their identities as Foundation Building cultivators, it wouldn't be difficult to obtain the Foundation Building Pills.

After waiting for another two months, the auction officially began.

The auction venue was built on the original shop opened by Chiyang Immortal City. It had been destroyed before, but now it had been rebuilt. It was used as a shop during normal times, but during the auction, it became the auction venue. It was large in scale and could accommodate over a thousand scattered cultivators.

Of course, accommodating more people was not a problem. It was just that, after all, it was an auction, and if there were too many people, it would be too noisy.

As Foundation Building cultivators, Lin Xuzhe and Lin Xuchang were welcomed to a private room on the second floor. There was fine tea served, and the two of them sat in the private room, sipping tea and patiently waiting.

The auction began, and surprisingly, it was presided over by Senior Hua. Senior Hua was not only the vice city lord of Chiyang Immortal City, but also had reached the ninth level of Foundation Building cultivation. The cultivators sitting below didn't dare to be unruly. As soon as Senior Hua entered the venue, the entire auction venue quieted down.

"Fellow Daoists, this auction is jointly organized by Chiyang Immortal City and Baibao Tower. Thank you all for coming to this auction. We promise to protect everyone's safety during the auction period, and at the same time, we..."

Master Hua spoke for half an hour, explaining the auction rules and introducing their Red Sun Immortal City. It seemed that Master Hua also wanted to recruit wandering cultivators through this opportunity.

Lin Xuzhe and Lin Xuchang exchanged glances and understood that the Red Sun Immortal City probably had big plans and would become even more lively in the future.

After finishing his speech, Master Hua didn't stay long. Another Foundation Building cultivator stepped forward to conduct the auction. Seeing this, the cultivators sitting below breathed a sigh of relief. If Master Hua had personally presided over the auction, the atmosphere would have been even more lively.

"Fellow Daoists, I am responsible for the auction," said the Foundation Building cultivator in charge. He was quite old and introduced himself before officially starting the auction.

"The starting price for the second-grade medium-quality spirit herb, Celebration Red, is one hundred spirit stones!"

The first item up for auction was a second-grade medium-quality spirit herb. Its value was neither high nor low, but it was probably chosen to be the first item due to its name.

The three characters "Celebration Red" were considered auspicious by both the Red Sun Immortal City and the Hundred Treasures Tower.

The price of one hundred spirit stones was extremely cheap. Many wandering cultivators made their bids, and in the end, it was sold for four hundred spirit stones by a cultivator, which was a normal price.

After that, there were ordinary items up for auction, and Lin Xuzhe and Lin Xuchang occasionally made bids.

Mostly, they bid on spirit herb materials because they had a lot of spirit stones, and these things would be useful to them.

The auction started in the morning and continued until evening. Many cultivators came and went during this time, and the auctioneer on the stage changed as well. There were many good items, including several third-grade spirit herbs, but there was no Foundation Building grass. Lin Xuzhe and Lin Xuchang couldn't help but sigh.

"Alright, next, we will auction the highlight of this auction," said the cultivator on the stage. With these words, everyone became excited. They had been waiting for this.

"We have prepared five highlight items this time. The first item up for auction is ten Foundation Building Pills."

"Ho!"

"Hey!"

"No way!"

As soon as it was announced, the cultivators below became excited one after another. Ten Foundation Building Pills? This couldn't be a joke. Lin Xuzhe and Lin Xuchang were also overjoyed.

After waiting for a while until the cultivators quieted down, the cultivator on the stage spoke again, "Before auctioning the Foundation Building Pills, I have something to say. Our Red Sun Immortal City and the Hundred Treasures Tower are offering these Foundation Building Pills to all cultivators. If there are wandering cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining who cannot afford spirit stones, they can also join our Red Sun Immortal City. We can provide Foundation Building Pills for free, and if the Foundation Building fails, they only need to pay the cost price. If the Foundation Building succeeds, not only will the Foundation Building Pills be free, but there will also be many benefits in our Red Sun Immortal City in the future."

Upon hearing this, the cultivators below didn't know what to say. They didn't expect such an offer. However, the Foundation Building Pills belonged to someone else, and they could do whatever they wanted with them.

After the announcement, more than ten wandering cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining stood up.

Seeing this, the cultivator on the stage said, "Fellow Daoists, please come to the back. We still need to go through a selection process to determine if you qualify."

The standing wandering cultivators walked towards the back of the auction stage, and the auction came to a temporary halt.

In a private room on the second floor, Lin Xuzhe and Lin Xuchang looked at each other and showed a helpless expression. They could only pick up their tea cups and take a sip.
