I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 154: Struggle

Half an hour had passed before the auction resumed, and now there were only six Foundation Building Pills left.

"Fellow Daoists, the other four Foundation Building Pills will be used by those who are willing to join our Chi Yang Immortal City to break through to the Foundation Building stage. We will now officially auction these six Foundation Building Pills."

Upon hearing these words from the cultivator, the crowd of cultivators below became somewhat displeased. It seemed that the auction had never intended to release ten Foundation Building Pills from the beginning.

Seeing this, the person immediately started auctioning off the six Foundation Building Pills.

"The first Foundation Building Pill will be auctioned off. The starting price is 5,000 spirit stones. Let the bidding begin."

"6,000!"

"7,000!"

"7,500!"

The atmosphere immediately became lively. Lin Xuzhe glanced at Lin Xuchang, and Lin Xuchang nodded. They naturally wanted to bid.

"13,000!"

"13,200!"

"13,500!"

The competition for the first Foundation Building Pill became intense, and it quickly reached a price of 13,000 spirit stones. At this moment, Lin Xuzhe made a move.

"14,000!"

This price could be considered high, and many people looked over and realized that it was a Foundation Building cultivator sitting in the private room on the second floor.

In theory, 14,000 was not considered high. After all, it had been many years since Foundation Building Pills had appeared in Zhao Country, so this price was still relatively cheap. However, after Lin Xuzhe shouted out the price, the auction hall fell silent for a moment. It seemed that everyone wanted to wait for the next few pills.

"14,001, going once. 14,002, going twice. 14,003, sold! Congratulations to the Fellow Daoist in private room number seven for winning the first Foundation Building Pill."

Having successfully won the bid for 14,000 spirit stones, both Lin Xuzhe and Lin Xuchang showed expressions of joy. However, they didn't have time to celebrate yet. They didn't come here just to bid for one pill; they wanted at least two, or even three.

In the previous situation with ten Foundation Building Pills, it would have been possible to buy three, but now with only six, the chances were slim. The two of them decided to bid for two pills.

They continued to bid, but neither of them made a move for the second and third pills, as the prices were around 15,000 spirit stones.

When it came to the fourth pill, Lin Xuzhe made a move again and successfully obtained it for 15,000 spirit stones. This price was higher than the first pill, but being able to obtain it was all that mattered.

Having won two pills, their trip could be considered a success. As for the remaining items, Lin Xuzhe and Lin Xuchang didn't bother looking at them.

Although they knew that the remaining items were not only more valuable than the Foundation Building Pills but also included a spirit fruit that could extend one's lifespan, it had nothing to do with them. They didn't come for those items, and even if they did, they wouldn't be able to win them.

Take the lifespan-extending spirit fruit, for example. It could extend a cultivator's lifespan by twenty years, which was something that even Purple Mansion cultivators would be tempted by. However, they didn't have the strength to obtain it, even if they did have the means.

After the exchange of the Foundation Building Pills, Lin Xuzhe and Lin Xuchang each took one and left Chi Yang Immortal City.

Although they were both Foundation Building cultivators, they still had to be cautious to prevent being killed for their treasures. So, they urged their flying boat to fly as fast as possible. Once they returned to the Lin family's mountain, they would be safe.

Both of them had considerable strength, but the temptation of the Foundation Building Pills was too great. Not long after leaving Chi Yang Immortal City, Lin Xuzhe discovered that they were being followed by two Foundation Building cultivators.

However, with decades of experience in battles, Lin Xuzhe was not worried. Moreover, he and Lin Xuchang were prepared for this trip. Even if there were three Foundation Building cultivators, they were not afraid, but only if they were in the early stage of Foundation Building.

Lin Xuchang also noticed the cultivators tracking them from behind. He looked at Lin Xuzhe and said, "Xuzhe, let's avoid them if we can. They don't seem to be very strong. Let's activate the flying boat and get away from them."

"Okay."

Lin Xuzhe nodded. Although he was a little eager to fight, he knew that they needed to be cautious on this journey. The two Foundation Building Pills they had were of great significance.

Lin Xuchang and Lin Xuzhe activated the flying boat and flew as far away as possible from the pursuers behind them. However, before they could feel relieved, the two pursuers seemed to have used some method and caught up with them. Lin Xuzhe, with his experience, said, "They are willing to activate the flying boat at any cost, which will affect their cultivation. It seems that today will be a fight to the death."

"Brother Xuchang, in my opinion, we should stop and confront them. If we continue like this, they will eventually catch up with us, and we won't have time to react. Now, we can wait for them to come to us while we are at an advantage. It shouldn't be a problem."

Upon hearing Lin Xuzhe's words, Lin Xuchang nodded. The two of them stopped the flying boat and waited for the two pursuers to catch up.

Before long, the two arrived in front of them. They were a male and a female Foundation Building cultivator, seemingly a couple, both at the early stage of Foundation Building.

After arriving, the two did not attack Lin Xuchang and Lin Xuzhe. Instead, they bowed respectfully.

Lin Xuchang and Lin Xuzhe looked at each other, feeling somewhat surprised.

"Fellow Daoists, what can we do for you?" Lin Xuzhe asked.

"Fellow Daoists, please don't misunderstand. My husband and I are not the kind of people who kill for treasures. We caught up to you today because we have a request. Please listen to what we have to say." The male cultivator among the couple spoke.

Since they said that, Lin Xuchang naturally couldn't attack them. He listened to what they had to say.

"Fellow Daoists, my husband and I are both independent cultivators. We have a child at the eighth level of Qi Refining, and in recent years, he is about to face Foundation Building. My husband and I have been searching for Foundation Building Pills outside. This time, we missed the auction in Chiyang Immortal City. We heard that the two of you bought two pills. We were wondering if we could buy one from you. We won't be short of spirit stones, and we can even add another thousand spirit stones. What do you think?"

After saying this, the couple looked at Lin Xuchang and Lin Xuzhe expectantly.

However, Lin Xuchang glanced at Lin Xuzhe, and both of them had an expression of disbelief. This sounded too fake. Even if what this person said was true, they couldn't make the trade. After all, the Lin family was not lacking in spirit stones, but they were lacking in Foundation Building Pills.

"Fellow Daoists, the Foundation Building Pills are useful to us. It's really difficult to give them up. Why don't you ask someone else?" Lin Xuzhe said again.

The couple glanced at each other, showing a troubled expression.

"Fellow Daoists, we really want to make this request. We have chased after you all the way here, and if we go back now, the others might have already left."

"What do you suggest then?" Lin Xuzhe asked again.

The couple remained silent, and at this moment, they both took out their magical treasures.

Seeing this, Lin Xuzhe burst into laughter. "I knew it. After pretending for so long, we still have to fight."

Just as he finished speaking, Lin Xuzhe and Lin Xuchang attacked together, engaging in a battle with the couple.

However, this couple was not simple. Although they were at the early stage of Foundation Building, both of them were at the third level of Foundation Building. From their moves, it could be seen that they seemed to have practiced combined attacks. Even if Lin Xuzhe and Lin Xuchang used their own methods, their cooperation was not as good.

For a while, Lin Xuzhe and Lin Xuchang were at a disadvantage.

"Fellow Daoists, we don't want to be enemies with you. How about we stop fighting? What we said earlier still stands. We can add another two thousand spirit stones on top of the original price. How about exchanging one pill?" The woman among the couple said at this moment.

If Lin Xuzhe and Lin Xuchang were independent cultivators, they might have agreed to this unfavorable situation. However, they were representing the Lin family. It was not easy for them to obtain these Foundation Building Pills, and if they gave them up so easily, how could they hold their heads up in the future? From that perspective, they couldn't give them up.

Without saying a word, the magical treasures flew, and the four of them fought even more fiercely.
