There are sixty high-grade spiritual stones in the spirit stone bag.

Among them, twenty pills are the total cost of fifty life-extending pills and realm-breaking pills given to twenty-five people this time.

The other forty are purely a recognition of Chu Zheng's trust and the strength he has shown.

After understanding the general trend of the future and personally verifying the capabilities of this strategic ally, they did not hesitate to show their courage and determination in this final stage of controlling the association.

The high-level officials of the association did not stay in the courtyard for long, they simply bumped heads and quickly dispersed.

Some of them returned directly to Nuanyun Valley, firstly to continue to organize the association members to work overtime and earn spiritual stones, and secondly to select potential seedlings who deserve the association's full assistance to help them improve.

Some stayed in Qinglinfang, taking advantage of the convenience here to carefully understand the situation of those foundation-building professionals who had old friendships with Nuanyun Valley in order to determine who was the most trustworthy and worthy of entrustment.

At the same time, direct descendants of the association such as Yu Peng will receive full support from the association and spend a month doing everything possible to improve their cultivation.

For example, Yu Peng, when we last met, he was still at the fifth level of Qi cultivation. This time we met, he was already at the sixth level of Qi cultivation.

With a quick glance of his keen consciousness, Meng Zhou knew that he had already taken the Life Extension Pill and the Realm Breaking Pill once during this period.

Originally, this type of elixir, which could only be used once, would be reserved for the mid-stage of Qi training to break through to the late stage of Qi training, which is the biggest bottleneck level in the Qi training stage.

But now, with the elixir in Meng Zhou's hand to support him, he directly used it to break through the fifth level of Qi training to the sixth level.

Yu Peng's current aura is still a little weak, but Meng Zhou believes that in less than half a month, the magic power in his body will be pushed to the peak of the sixth level of Qi training, and then he will use the next half month to prepare.

A month later, at such a young age, he was able to break through to the advanced stage of Qi training and be on par with his teacher.

Although, this method of using a large amount of pills to quickly advance the realm has many disadvantages.

But the biggest drawback is that the body's drug resistance increases, making the elixir less and less effective.

Except for those who are truly gifted, for other practitioners, youth is their greatest asset.

This is also an important bargaining chip to ensure the status of Yu Peng and others in the association in the future, and the integration of master and apprentice is also an important measure to continue the influence of these people.

Meng Zhou thought about what Chu Zheng had roughly revealed to him about the association's various plans for the next month, and he felt quite emotional in his heart.

…

The next day, April 30th.

Hexin Building.

Meng Zhou was led into a room on the second floor by Zhang Wei and quietly waited for the auction to begin.

Everyone is now very familiar with the process of the auction, and the first items to appear are the third-level items.

Meng Zhou, who often attends auctions, has an obvious feeling that the quantity and quality of third-level auction items are slowly declining, and everyone's enthusiasm for bidding is also gradually decreasing.

After all, looking at the entire Qingxuan Territory, there are not many forces that are qualified to participate in the competition for third-level auction items.

This requires both sufficient financial resources and urgent needs.

Otherwise, it would not be a wise choice to spend a large amount of spiritual stones to photograph such a valuable item only to leave it in a warehouse for people to remember.

With the previous six high-profile auctions, the demand for third-level items is no longer so urgent.

"It's almost going to be squeezed dry, right?" Meng Zhou thought to himself.

Soon, the few third-level auction items each had their own owners, and they began to rotate to the second-level auction items.

The first second-level item to be auctioned was a second-level spiritual object called "Soul-nourishing Water", which had the effect of healing soul wounds, and aroused fierce competition among a group of foundation-building and even fake elixir monks.

The second auction item is a special seal that exudes inexplicable majesty.

It was held in the palm of the old man's hand, but it looked like a lifelike tiger.

"The Mountain King Seal, the second-level best seal.

This is made from a second-level high-grade demon tiger that has mastered the true meaning of the Mountain King, and is refined using a special method.

It can be turned into a seal to suppress powerful enemies, and it can also be unlocked to temporarily gain a fighting partner with strength comparable to the ninth level of foundation building.

The starting price is 40 high-grade spiritual stones, and each increase in price must not be less than one high-grade spiritual stone."

The first time he saw this seal, Meng Zhou looked very focused.

But as the old man introduced, Meng Zhou's brows gradually wrinkled.

After knowing the old man's starting price, he completely lost interest in the object.

On the one hand, it's not suitable. Another reason is naturally: there are not enough spiritual stones and I can't afford it!

According to his experience, the final transaction price of such a special second-level top-grade seal will never be less than one hundred top-grade spiritual stones.

The final result was just as he expected, with 107 high-grade spiritual stones being sold at a high price.

After that, Meng Zhou waited until all the auctions of the second-tier high-quality products were over. Then he left Hexin Building with some disappointment and did not continue to wait until the auction was over.

After walking out of Hexin Building and about to return to the Zhang family courtyard, Meng Zhou suddenly felt a strange mana fluctuation coming from the direction of Qinglin Peak behind him, with a pressure at the level of the soul. He suddenly turned his head and looked around.

Meng Zhou suddenly discovered that the barrier of the mountain guarding formation had quietly faded away at some point, and a cloud of spiritual energy quickly spread from a mountain peak close to Qinglinfang.

It has many similarities with the Foundation Establishment Vision, but in terms of scale and momentum, it is not comparable to the time when the Qi Practitioner broke through the Foundation Establishment.

"Someone is forming a pill!" Someone suddenly exclaimed.

Naturally, Meng Zhou was not the only one to notice this movement. All the passers-by around him had stopped and stopped to look up.

At this moment, just above the mountain peak, billowing dark clouds gathered and soon became as thick as ink.

Gradually, there were thunder and lightning, like spiritual snakes swimming in the dark clouds.

Everyone suddenly understood why Qinglin Peak's mountain protection formation in this area was suddenly opened.

Just like Hexin Tower will provide a safe foundation building place for free in Hexin Tower, monks who buy third-level pills in Hexin Tower can either choose to take it away or take it on the spot.

, Qingxuanzong provided him with a pill-forming site in Qinglin Peak free of charge.

Perhaps in order to avoid revealing too much information about the mountain gate, Qingxuan Sect specially used the area outside Qinglin Peak and adjacent to Qinglinfang for this purpose.

Three months have passed since the first auction held by Hexin Building at the end of January, and the preparation required to build the foundation and attack the core formation is much more than practicing Qi to break through the gate and build the foundation.

At this moment, someone finally started to attack the pill formation, so Qingxuan Sect naturally wanted to temporarily withdraw the mountain-protecting formation in this area.

This not only avoids causing interference to the opponent's elixir formation, but also avoids being affected by the Tribulation Thunder and damaging the formation.

At this moment, the rosy cloud phenomenon quickly shrank, and a small, faintly shining object flew out from the mountain peak.

Against the pressure of thunder above his head, he went up against the trend and soon disappeared into the thick dark clouds.

"Heavenly Thunder Refines the True Pill!"

Many people couldn't help but exclaimed, and many people had admiration on their faces.

With that person’s elixir-forming vision, the false elixir is guaranteed to be achieved.

But he did not stop there, and took the initiative to throw the newly formed elixir embryo into the dark clouds in the sky, facing the test of thunder.

If it succeeds, it will be gratifying. From now on, there will be one more True Alchemy cultivator in Qingxuan Domain.

But if he loses, he may not even be able to keep the chance of fake elixirs, and he may even die on the spot, leaving his soul in disarray.

This is a true seeker!

All the monks in the monastery who witnessed this scene had their thoughts turning over and over again.

I don't know how long it took, just when people were speculating that the elixir embryo might have been refined and destroyed by the thunder, and the body and soul of the person who formed the elixir had perished.

A small, bright brilliance emerged from the dark clouds, traced a path of brilliance in the sky, and quickly disappeared into the mountain below.

Even from a long distance away, everyone felt as if they were staring directly into the scorching midday sun when they looked at that dazzling brilliance.

Meng Zhou understood, however, that it actually stemmed from oppression at the level of the soul.

The power it naturally exudes is far greater than before it was baptized by the thunder.

That true elixir just flashed by in the air, but the mark it left on people's hearts never dissipated.

Until the mountain protection formation was activated again, covering everything in Qinglin Peak, people's passion never retreated for a long time.

“I don’t know which family this senior is from?

His disciples are so prosperous now, one person attains enlightenment, and chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!"

"Perhaps this is a senior casual cultivator who has no relatives or friends?"

"Do you believe it? Not to mention whether there is anyone among the casual cultivators who has this potential. Those third-level auction items that are all sold for sky-high prices, without the support of any force, can one person collect so many spiritual stones?"

"Well……"

"Tell me, what is the quality of that senior's elixir?"

"Lower grade? Medium grade? Or top grade?"

"Maybe it's the golden elixir?"

"How could it be so exaggerated?!"

"..."

Everyone was talking a lot, speculating about the gossip of this new Danjie senior, but Meng Zhou had already returned to the Zhang Family Courtyard and started practicing regularly.

For ten days in a row, Meng Zhou didn't even leave the gate of Zhang's courtyard.
To be continued...
