Xia Houming selected three seventh-level animal bones and was quite satisfied with the quality and price. After paying for the spirit stones, he asked: "Brother Changqing, you haven't chosen yet, okay?"
"I plan to go to the upper level to have a look. If junior brother has something to do, please take a step first!"
Ximen Changqing said, walking to the upper floor.
"Well, I still have a few animal bones that I haven't bought yet, so let's take the first step!"
Xia Houming nodded and left Xiaoyu Baibao Pavilion.
He was in a hurry to collect spiritual materials and refine the high-grade Xuantian magic weapon, but he didn't want to waste too much time.
"Fourth brother, that fellow Taoist just now is a descendant of the Immortal Clan! He looks very ordinary too!"
As soon as I went upstairs, Ximen Changyu came over.
"Xiahou Ming is just an ordinary disciple of the Xiahou Immortal Clan, and he was admitted to the inner sect based on his strength. An ordinary disciple has such strength, and the Immortal Clan's heritage cannot be underestimated."
Ximen Changqing's eyes were complicated. He never dared to underestimate the Immortal Clan, and he was even more determined in the rise of the Ximen Family.
"The Immortal Clan! As long as Fourth Brother is here, my Ximen family will also become an Immortal Clan!"
Ximen Changyu has always had great trust in his fourth brother. The fourth brother is responsible for most of the credit for the Ximen family's success.
"This is natural, but you must also work hard. The rise of a family cannot be achieved by just one person!"
With a smile on his face, Ximen Changqing asked: "How is the store doing? Is it profitable? How is the family's recent development?"
Since he has recently been busy completing the mission of the Fairy Clan Academy, he is not very concerned about his family's affairs.
"Fourth brother, the store is running very well, making tens of thousands of top-quality spiritual stones every month. The family generally has no major problems.
Even some shops in the Immortal Cultivation City were suppressed by their peers, and some tribesmen were even attacked and killed when they went out.
Ancestor said that he can handle these small things, so there is no need for Fourth Brother to worry about everything."
Ximen Changyu's expression was indifferent, indicating that these matters are not serious yet and the tribesmen can handle them well.
"Okay! These things are inevitable after all. These Xuantian magic weapons and puppet beasts were all refined by me recently. Let's sell them in the store!"
Ximen Changqing can't take care of everything. The family is getting bigger and bigger, and there are some things that the clan members should be able to handle.
After taking some needed spiritual materials, Ximen Changqing left Xiaoyu Baobao Pavilion and wandered around Xueyuanfang City.
There are tens of thousands of shops here, the most luxurious ones are naturally those of the four major immortal clans, followed by those of other powerful clans on the mainland.
For example, the True Dragon Clan, the most powerful clan in the True Dragon Continent, has a shop in the Fairy Clan Academy that sells the specialty products of the True Dragon Continent.
Originally, the Yanlong Clan and other dragon clans also had shops here, but they were selling specialty products. They were suppressed by the True Dragon Clan, so they abandoned the shops here.
Nowadays, in Xueyuefang City, there is only one True Dragon Clan store from the True Dragon Continent. If you want to buy True Dragon Continent specialties, you can only go to the True Dragon Clan store.
The situation is similar in other continents. For the sake of profit, strong forces will suppress weak forces to ensure that they remain strong.
Therefore, if weak forces want to develop, they can only go to weaker markets.
For example, most of the Ximen family's shops are located in the sixth- and seventh-level Immortal Cultivation City, and they will rarely set foot in the eighth- or ninth-level Immortal Cultivation City.
Letting Ximen Changyu set up a store in Xueyuanfang City was already taking a risk, and he did not dare to sell too many rare spiritual items to avoid causing disaster.
Ximen Changqing casually visited several luxury shops and purchased many rare immortal cultivation resources.
The reason why many high-level monks do not go to low-level Immortal Cultivation City is because they can only buy sufficiently rare high-level resources in the high-level Immortal Cultivation City.
In the auction held in the high-end market, the high-end resources that will appear will be even more amazing.
Therefore, the number of monks in Xueyuefang City has increased significantly. The number of monks entering Xuefang City every day is far more than the number of monks leaving Xuefang City.
Especially the large influx of high-level monks has brought a huge wave of business to the shops in Xueyuefang City.
The sales volume of the store where Ximen Changyu is located is increasing day by day, and he earns a lot of spiritual stones.
Three days later, when the auction was held, Ximen Changqing came to the auction house early and found a good seat in advance.
This auction has a high standard, and only those with at least a level of cultivation are eligible to enter.
Of course, if the boss brings his juniors in, that's a different story.
The auction house has four floors in total, corresponding to the four levels of cultivation. However, there are generally few people on the top floor.
After all, there are only a few dozen big bosses in the Tribulation Period. If you need any resources, you can just ask your subordinates to collect them. You don't have to do it yourself.
Ximen Changqing sat down on the second floor. He took a casual look and found that there were no monks on the fourth floor. There were more than 200 ancestors on the third floor.
There are no less than two thousand combined monks on the second floor, and as for the virtual refining monks on the first floor, the total number exceeds 10,000.
When we arrived at Xueyuanfang City, we realized how huge the number of high-level monks was.
In some small places, any cultivator of cultivating the void can be called an ancestor, but here, the cultivator of cultivating the void is nothing more than a mere minion.
Even a fusion monk like Ximen Changqing is just a small person. Only Mahayana monks are eligible to enjoy free admission and can taste spiritual wine and fruits at will.
The second-level integrated monks can only sit and drink some spiritual tea, while the first-level virtual monks can only stand and wait. The difference is so obvious.
In order to avoid trouble, Ximen Changqing hid his identity, but the Immortal Academy robe he wore was not hidden.
At this moment, the monks who entered the auction house first were all talking in groups.
"A lot of big shots came this time, including big shots from the four major immortal clans."
"Yes! That woman in red is Zhuge Hongyi from the Zhuge Immortal Clan. Her cultivation in the late Mahayana period is so terrifying. The person following her should be Zhuge Yun'er, who is the genius of the academy and has no one else.
Invincible!"
"I have seen that Zhuge Yun'er is indeed powerful, but the young male cultivator next to him is not weak either. He is Master Sima Wen of the Sima family, and he is also a genius of his generation."
"That monk in black is Xia Houping of the Xiahou family. Although his strength is average and he is only in the early stage of Mahayana, his weapon refining skills are very powerful. He is the leading eighth-level weapon refiner of the Xiahou family.
The female cultivator next to him should be Xiahou Hui'er, the genius of the Xiahou family, and there is also a male cultivator with a reserved expression, perhaps a collateral disciple!"
"Look clearly, that young man is wearing the clothes of an inner disciple of the Immortal Clan Academy. He must be a genius!"
"The disciples of the Xiahou family can all become the inner disciples. The foundation of the Xiahou Immortal Clan cannot be underestimated!"
"The immortal clans are all powerful, and their background is naturally unmatched by ordinary sects."
"The Dongfang Immortal Clan is also here. That one is Dongfang Nan, who is also the genius of the Celestial Clan!"
"People from the Bai family in the Eastern Region are also here. They are the only force in our Eastern Region that has transcended the tribulation period!"
"The great elder of the Antarctic Fairy Island, I didn't expect him to come too."
"Dragon Clan, that's a true dragon Clan strongman! Foreigners are here to support him!"
"The eighth-level power of Tianfeng tribe is also a beautiful female cultivator. Oops, she was discovered by it!"
"Please keep your voice down. We cannot afford to offend the powerful powers on the third level."
A group of monks on the second floor were chatting away and looking towards the third floor from time to time.
Ximen Changqing has been silent, he wants to keep a low profile.
On the third floor of the auction house, the Mahayana ancestors also chatted with each other.
"Fairy in red, long time no see!"
Xia Houping lowered his posture and bent down to salute.
He is a weapon refiner and is not good at fighting. Even if ten of them put together, they are no match for Zhuge Hongyi.
Zhuge Hongyi, who looked proud, just nodded slightly. She had always been arrogant, so she naturally looked down on Xia Houping.
Even within the Xiahou family, Xiahou Ping's strength is only ranked at the top, and she, Zhuge Hongyi, is the top member of the Zhuge family.
"Sister Hui'er, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Who is this? You are very unfamiliar!"
Zhuge Yun'er felt that his elders were a little unreasonable, so he took the initiative to talk to Xia Hou Hui'er.
"Xia Houming, I haven't met Sister Yun'er yet!"
Xiahou Hui'er scolded him coldly.
"Xia Houming, I have met Fairy Yun'er!"
Xia Houming was excited and quickly saluted Zhuge Yun'er.
"Sister Yun'er, don't be offended. This is a side disciple of my clan. He has never seen the world before. This time, he met Patriarch Ping on the road, so he brought him here with him."
It was obvious that Xia Houhui'er, who was a genius, looked down upon Xia Houming, who was from a side family.
Even though Xia Houming was very powerful in refining weapons, he still couldn't catch her eye.
Before being promoted to the eighth-level weapon refiner, Xia Houming's status in the Xiahou family could never be compared with Xiahou Hui'er.
And even for the children of the Immortal Clan, it is not easy to be promoted to the Mahayana stage. If they cannot be promoted to the Mahayana stage, how can they be promoted to the eighth-level weapon refiner.
Being scolded by the genius of his clan, Xia Houming lowered his head and smiled in apology, not daring to show any dissatisfaction.
Xiahou Hui'er and Zhuge Yun'er quickly talked about other topics, completely ignoring Xia Houming's existence.
"Tomorrow! Our Xiahou Immortal Clan has mastered a large number of resources to advance to the combined realm, but there are really few auxiliary spiritual objects to advance to the Mahayana stage.
If you want to advance to the Mahayana stage, you must find a way on your own, you understand!"
Xia Houping knew that this talented junior must be feeling uncomfortable, so he sent a message of encouragement.
"Don't worry, Patriarch Ping, I will follow my ancestor's example and explore the mysterious realm to find resources to help advance to the Mahayana stage!"
Xia Houming's eyes were firm. He understood that in the big family of the Xiahou Immortal Clan, without Mahayana cultivation, he would never have any status.
After all, the Xiahou Immortal Clan can provide a large number of spiritual objects that can assist in advancing to the combined realm, allowing the number of combined members in the clan to exceed three thousand.
However, the number of Mahayana clan members of the Xiahou Immortal Clan is less than 200, the difference is more than ten times.
The other major immortal clans are in a similar situation.
Ordinary members of the Immortal Clan will only have a certain status if they advance to the Mahayana Stage. They will not be scolded by other members of the Clan, and will be given face even by the top tier prodigies.
"This Xia Houming is really pitiful!"
Ximen Changqing, who was on the second floor, had been paying attention to the situation on the third floor. He couldn't help but feel a little funny when he found that Xia Houming was being ignored.
A few hours later, several Mahayana monks and a group of goddess-incarnation female cultivators walked onto the auction stage.
"Quiet, fellow Taoists and young friends, I, Dongfang Qingyun, am in charge of this auction. Before holding the auction, I have to explain some things in advance. I hope you will not knowingly do anything wrong.
First of all, the auction will be held for a longer time. If you leave temporarily for something, you are not allowed to re-enter, so as not to affect the bidding order!
Secondly, the auction is a price competition, and you are not allowed to use force to pressure others, especially high-level monks. You are not allowed to intimidate low-level monks. Once discovered, you will be expelled from the venue.
Third, no hints or soft threats are allowed, and no pretending to be pitiful. Just make a direct offer and try to say as little as possible.
Fourth, there is a teleportation array in the auction house. If low-level monks who have photographed important treasures are worried about their own safety, they can leave in advance.
…
Dongfang Qingyun said a lot of rules in one breath to ensure that the auction could proceed smoothly.
"Okay, everyone, the auction will begin now. First of all, the first auction item, a seven-color Jiuhe Dan.
After taking this pill, it can increase the 20% chance of the Void Refining Monk being promoted to the Fusion Stage. The starting price is two hundred low-grade spiritual crystals, and each increase in price must not be less than ten low-grade spiritual crystals!"
As soon as Dongfang Qingyun finished speaking, a goddess-incarnation female cultivator placed an elixir exuding Taoist charm on a jade plate for everyone to watch.
"Sure enough, it is the Seven-Colored Nine-Head Pill. This is a good thing! I have been stuck in the late stage of refining the void for a long time. If I take this pill, I will definitely be promoted to the realm of integration!"
"I have been trapped in the perfection of refining the void for hundreds of years. If I don't advance to the realm of integration, I'm afraid I will fall under the catastrophe!"
"I am determined to get it! I want two hundred low-grade spiritual crystals."
"I will give you twenty-fifty low-grade spiritual crystals!"
"Three hundred low-grade spiritual crystals and seven-color nine-combination pills are mine!"
"Three hundred and twenty low-grade spiritual crystals!"
"I'll give you four hundred low-grade spiritual crystals! Who wants to steal them from me?"
"I bid four hundred and fifty low-grade spiritual crystals!"
"For the sake of the great road, I will give you five hundred low-grade spiritual crystals!"
"In order to live forever, I offer six hundred low-grade spiritual crystals!"
The bidding was very fierce. In the blink of an eye, the price soared to three times the original price. It was really scary.
In the end, this seven-color Nine-Head Pill was photographed by an old man who had reached the perfect state of refining the void. After photographing the pill, the old man immediately left the auction house in a teleportation array.
The bidding for a seven-color Jiuhe Dan completely ignited the whole audience. In the following bidding, many monks competed for each piece.
The spiritual objects Ximen Evergreen sent for auction were the highest, and the bidding price soared five times, which is really surprising.
Of course, if you take out the Eight Treasures Guiyuan Fruit that can help advance to the Mahayana stage, it will probably fetch ten times the price.
However, this thing is too precious. Even if the Ximen family doesn't use it up and it rots, they can't just put it out for bidding.
Once someone is targeted, it will cause endless trouble.
After all, even for immortals, it is very difficult to obtain spiritual objects that can help them advance to the Mahayana stage.
Once such a spiritual creature appears, they will definitely pay close attention to it. If Ximen Changqing is found, it will be a big trouble.
Some particularly sensitive natural treasures cannot be sold casually before they have sufficient strength.
Even if Ximen Changqing becomes an immortal in the future, spiritual objects like these that can help advance to the Mahayana stage cannot be easily sold.
