Lingxiao Immortal Clan

Ling Yunhong had expected this.

After all, those who were unwilling to participate in the auction of Qiuyun Secret Method would not have followed him across tens of thousands of miles to come here.

Then, Ling Yunhong also announced to everyone.

"Since everyone is willing to stay and bid, the auction will officially begin."

"This secret method that can stably improve Qiuyun Spiritual Rice is called Qiuyun Secret Method. This secret method is honest and trustworthy. If there is any fake, you can find me, Ling's family."

"In addition, this Qiuyun Secret Method will only be sold to the outside, and my Ling's family will not pass it on. Please rest assured. As mentioned above, if you find that my Ling's family has passed it on, you can also find me, Ling's family, and I will compensate you according to the price."

"The reputation of my Ling family, a century-old spiritual plant family, will not be ruined in order to deceive the spiritual stones of fellow Taoists."

"Without saying too much, the starting price of this Qiuyun Secret Method is one thousand spiritual stones. Each bid cannot be less than one hundred spiritual stones. The highest bidder wins."

Only one method that can stably improve Qiuyun Spiritual Rice is sold to the outside because things are rare and valuable. Once this secret method is spread too widely, it will be worthless.

Even if the Qiuyun Secret Method spreads too widely, it will also suppress the price of the three most popular spiritual rices in the Jade Series of the Ling family.

After all, Qiuyun Spiritual Rice is also a spiritual rice, and its advantage lies in its yield.

Once this spiritual rice is planted by everyone, the spiritual rice on the market will be flooded, and the price of the three spiritual rices in the Jade Series, which are also spiritual rice, will naturally be suppressed by the market.

Such things are naturally not what the Ling family wants to see.

As for the buyer of the Qiuyun Secret Method, as long as he is not stupid, he will not sell the Qiuyun Secret Method.

And the reputation may not have any effect on ordinary cultivators, but for the foundation-building clan, the reputation can be completely converted into spiritual stones.

After Ling Yunhong finished speaking, he slapped the storage bag and summoned eighteen Qingling swords from it. He pinched the formula to form the Earthly Evil Sword Formation with these eighteen flying swords, and suspended them beside him to intimidate those who came to bid for the Qiuyun Secret Method this time.

The ten foundation-building buyers saw this scene and felt the powerful aura coming from Ling Yunhong, and their faces were all shocked.

However, now that it was the time for bidding, everyone quickly came to their senses and started bidding.

"One thousand and one hundred spirit stones."

"One thousand and two hundred spirit stones."

"One thousand and three hundred spirit stones."

"..."

After a while, the bid for the Qiuyun Secret Method was raised to five thousand spirit stones.

And the ten buyers from various families did not let go, and they kept bidding.

Once someone started bidding, they would immediately follow.

As time went by, the price of the Qiuyun Secret Method was driven up to eight thousand five hundred spirit stones.

At this price, the rising trend of the Qiuyun Spiritual Rice price also slowed down a lot.

There were even five buyers who were hesitant because the price of the Qiuyun Secret Method was too high. They did not rush to bid, but calculated the value that the Qiuyun Secret Method could bring in their hearts.

Ling Pengyun, who had been watching the auction, was delighted and secretly cheered for the five people who were still bidding for the Qiuyun Secret Method.

This was because Qiuyun Spiritual Rice was created by him, and 90% of the spiritual stones he obtained would belong to him. The higher the Qiuyun Secret Method was sold, the more spiritual stones he would get.

As an intermediary, the family helped Ling Pengyun find buyers and ensure Ling Pengyun's safety during the transaction, so they adopted a 90% and 10% split.

Ling Pengyun, the person who improved the Qiuyun Spiritual Rice, could get 90%, and the family could get 10%.

As for the ten foundation-building buyers, why they offered such a high price was also very simple. The Qiuyun Secret Method that could stably improve Qiuyun Spiritual Rice was worth this spiritual stone.

The yield per mu of Qiuyun Spiritual Rice was 30% stronger than that of Shuiling Rice. Without the bonus of spiritual husbands, it could reach more than 1,300 kilograms per mu.

Qiuyun Spiritual Valley contained the same spiritual energy as Shuiling Valley, and the market price of Shuiling Rice was 10 kilograms per spiritual stone.

Planting Qiuyun Spiritual Rice means that every acre of Qiuyun Spiritual Rice can earn 30 more Spiritual Stones than planting Water Spiritual Rice.

All the people present are foundation-building families, and many spiritual fields have been opened up on the spiritual veins in each family to plant Water Spiritual Rice.

Once they switch to planting Qiuyun Spiritual Rice with higher yield, they can get their money back in a few decades.

After that, the accumulation of generations of clansmen can completely rely on Qiuyun Spiritual Rice to make a small profit in the future development of the family.

If the Ling family had not already had three more valuable "Jade Series" Spiritual Rices and looked down on Qiuyun Spiritual Rice, otherwise the Ling family would really be reluctant to sell the "Qiuyun Secret Method" that is like a gold mountain that can be continuously mined.

After a hundred breaths, the price of Qiuyun Secret Method rose to ten thousand Spiritual Stones.

In the end, after the price chased by the foundation-building cultivators in ten foundation-building families, the price of Qiuyun Secret Method rose to 13,500 Spiritual Stones.

After this bid was made, no one raised the price again.

Although the Qiuyun Secret Method is a gold mine, it can steadily improve the yield of Qiuyun Spiritual Rice, which is 30% higher than that of ordinary water spirit rice. However, Qiuyun Spiritual Rice is a spiritual plant, and it takes a long time to pay back.

And the number of 13,500 spiritual stones is considered huge for ordinary foundation-building families, and it is difficult to take them out easily.

What's more, the ten foundation-building families that came this time are basically newly established foundation-building families, and there are not many spiritual stones in the family.

After ten breaths, Ling Yunhong made a final decision.

"This Qiuyun Secret Method was won by Fellow Daoist Guo Changsheng, the patriarch of the "Huangyanling Guo Family" in Bingjiao County, Jiaozhou."

The experience of the Huangyanling Guo Family and the Ling Family is basically the same. They were originally small Qi training families, and both families became foundation-building families because of the patriarch's foundation-building.

Ling Pengyun, who was standing by, was extremely happy when he heard that the final transaction price of Qiuyun Spiritual Rice was 13,500 spiritual stones, and his smile was extremely bright.

"13,500 spiritual stones, I will get 90%, which is a total of 12,150 spiritual stones."

"This amount of spiritual stones is not only enough for me to jointly purchase a bottle of Bailing Water with my family, but also enough for me to buy a second-level upper-grade pulse protection pill alone, and even have extra spiritual stones to buy spiritual objects for cultivation, which will help me improve my cultivation to the perfection of Qi training faster."

Just when Ling Pengyun was distracted, Ling Yunhong summoned a yellow paper with small words written on it from his storage bag and held it tightly in his hand.

"Fellow Daoist Guo, please hand over the spiritual stones first before you go down."

The successful bidder Guo Changsheng nodded lightly, took out a bulging storage bag from his arms, and summoned a large pile of spiritual stones on the ground.

As soon as this large amount of spiritual stones came out of the outside world, the eyes of the other nine foundation-building cultivators who participated in the auction of Qiuyun Secret Method all flashed with some strange movements.

However, these people looked at the eighteen green spiritual swords floating around Ling Yunhong, who was presiding over the auction of Qiuyun Secret Method, and the earthly sword formation formed by condensing and exuding aura, and they all flashed a little fear.

The strange movements in everyone's hearts also dissipated.

Although they also have foundation-building cultivation, they are only in the early stage of foundation-building.

Ling Yunhong's spiritual sense swept through the many spiritual stones piled up into a small hill, and checked that the number of spiritual stones in this pile was correct. He then waved his hand to put away the spiritual stones.

After collecting the spiritual stones, he also handed the yellow paper recording Qiuyun Secret Method to Guo Changsheng.

After Guo Changsheng confirmed the content on the yellow paper, he nodded to Ling Yunhong and quickly left Lingyun Mountain.

As soon as Guo Changsheng left, the other nine foundation-building buyers who participated in the auction of Qiuyun Secret Method also left this place one after another.

Among them, eight foundation-building cultivators left in the same direction as Guo Changsheng, and only one old foundation-building cultivator in the early stage returned to his family.

With this scene, Ling Yunhong and Ling Pengyun, who were in Lingyun Mountain, could easily guess what would happen next.

"I hope that Guo Changsheng can return to his family safely, otherwise the Huangyan Guo family, which has just become a foundation-building family, will not have the strength of a foundation-building cultivator like him, and will fall in this world of immortal cultivation, and most of its clansmen will die tragically."

In the early years, Ling Yunhong, who also supported the Qi training family to become a foundation-building family like Guo Changsheng, had an inexplicable good impression of Guo Changsheng who had the same experience, and muttered to himself.

Ling Pengyun, who was secretly happy because the Qiuyun secret method was sold at a high price, was also startled by Ling Yunhong and came back to his senses.

He looked at the direction where the ten buyers left just now, which was very similar, and combined with what Ling Yunhong just said, he guessed most of it.

"I think Guo Changsheng got into trouble because of the Qiuyun Secret Technique."

Thinking of this, Ling Pengyun immediately thought of himself.

Guo Changsheng is not the only one who masters the Qiuyun Secret Technique. There is also him.

Guo Changsheng, who is a foundation-building cultivator, has aroused the greed of eight foundation-building cultivators because of the Qiuyun Secret Technique, not to mention him, a Qi-cultivating cultivator.

A sense of fear rose in his heart.

He no longer had the joy of earning spirit stones like before, but his back began to feel a little cold.

Ling Yunhong, who was standing by, noticed Ling Pengyun's expression subtly, and guessed what Ling Pengyun was thinking, and threatened him.

"Pengyun, you will be stationed in Lingyun Mountain for the last two years. I will accompany you here to suppress the scoundrels."

"In the future, you should stay in Lingyun Mountain and go out less. This time, your reputation for selling Qiuyun Secret Method has also become bigger. In the future, if you don't enter the foundation building stage, if you go out casually, I'm afraid you will be arrested nine times out of ten, imprisoned, and interrogated about Qiuyun Secret Method."

"So, you can enter... foundation building, otherwise, after the last two years of stationing in Lingyun Mountain, you will stay in the clan mountain for the rest of your life."

Ling Pengyun heard this and agreed with Ling Yunhong's words in his heart, and his whole body shuddered.

When being imprisoned and interrogated, it is more uncomfortable to be alive than being beheaded directly.

After coming to his senses, Ling Pengyun thanked Ling Yunhong.

"Thank you, Third Ancestor."

"It's just that the spiritual energy in this mountain is thin. Will your presence here affect your progress in cultivation? Besides, will there be any accidents without you on the clan mountain?"

Ling Yunhong is the pillar of the family, and his cultivation talent is also very high. He has been in the foundation-building stage for only more than ten years, and he has broken through several bottlenecks in succession and entered the middle stage of foundation-building.

If Ling Yunhong's cultivation progress is slow because he is in Lingyun Mountain, Ling Pengyun can't bear the blame.

"It's not so easy to break through the foundation-building stage. Since the end of the demon-killing war two years ago, I have been comprehending the alchemy and have rarely practiced. Staying here for two more years will not matter."

"As for the family, I recently got a second-level middle-grade formation from another place, and arranged this formation in the clan mountain as a protective formation. This second-level middle-grade formation plus the fairy crane king in the early stage of foundation-building on the family side are enough to protect the safety of the clan mountain."

Ling Yunhong waved his hand and said with a smile.

When Ling Pengyun heard this, he actually heard some small clues.

"The Third Ancestor must have the hope of becoming a second-level alchemist, otherwise, how could someone with such outstanding cultivation talent like the Third Ancestor put cultivation after alchemy?" Ling Pengyun made his own guess.
