The smell of sweat and sweat is mixed with other indescribable smells, like spices mixed into clear sea water, and the fragrance is a little fishy and salty.
Zhang Shuniang was not sleeping well, her delicate body was curled up in a ball, her sleeping face still had lingering blush and sweat, and strands of hair were stuck to her face randomly, looking like a mess from the wind and rain.
It seemed as if something had happened last night.
Chen Li got up quietly without disturbing her at all, put on his robe, straightened his collar, used a cleaning technique on himself, and walked out of the bedroom.
…
Time always flies when he is busy. Chen Li feels that not long ago it was a scorching summer, with the sun burning like fire. In the blink of an eye, autumn is coming. Although the vegetation in the city is still evergreen and lush, the air has already changed.
It brought a hint of coolness.
Haven't been out for a long time.
Stanley City seems to be more lively.
The streets are crowded with people and bustling with people.
Various accents came and went, making it extremely noisy.
Thinking that there were not many medicinal materials left for the medicinal bath at home, Chen Li took advantage of the early auction time and went to the medicinal material shop that he had been patronizing before.
When I asked, I found out that the price of medicinal materials had gone up again.
A few months ago, there were only 21 middle-grade spiritual stones for a medicated bath, but now it has increased to more than 27.
Compared with a year ago, it has more than doubled.
"Alas, the border is now infested with monsters, and it's becoming more and more chaotic. Many supplies have been cut off." The shopkeeper of the medicine shop sighed: "More than one sect has been wiped out, and many people have died. With the current situation, I
I guess it won’t be stable for a year or two.”
"I do know that there is a Huanzhen sect. Are there other sects that have been wiped out?" Chen Li inquired.
No wonder there are so many people in Stanley City.
"Does Sanshan Sect know?"
"I've seen it on the map."
Sanshan Sect is also located on the border, separated from Huanzhen Sect by an artifact gate.
Alas, it seems that the trouble happened all in that area.
Chen Li sighed secretly, but there was nothing he could do.
Fortunately, the Immortal Muscle and Jade Bone Kung Fu is about to reach the full level, and it will only take another half a year at most.
Seeing that the price of this medicinal material would not drop for a while, he thought that he would just buy it all at once.
Based on the progress of the Immortal Muscle and Jade Bone Skill, Chen Li secretly estimated in his mind and reported a conservative figure: "Give me eighty copies. I'm a regular customer here, so you have to give me a cheaper price."
…
After erasing all zeros and endings, Chen Li finally paid 21 high-grade spiritual stones.
After leaving the medicine shop and walking on the road, he still felt a twinge of pain.
For this Immortal Muscle Jade Bone Skill, he has spent more than a hundred high-grade spiritual stones over the past six years. The annual expenditure is more than the amount of pills.
"I have spent so many spiritual stones, I just hope that when the Immortal Muscle and Jade Bone Skill reaches the full level, I will not let myself down."
He clenched his fists, feeling the strong strength in his body, and secretly expected in his heart:
"It would be best if you could give me magical powers..."
Supernatural power, he already has one.
It is bestowed by the max-level longevity skill.
It’s called “Invulnerable to All Diseases”.
It's just that this magical power is not obvious, it seems to only increase his lifespan, and sometimes even he will subconsciously ignore it.
Since he came to this world, he has neither been sick nor poisoned. After practicing swordsmanship, his body became more powerful, not to mention after building the foundation, which made him basically
I had no chance to experience the power of supernatural powers.
It feels like time is almost up.
Chen Li changed his face, and for the sake of caution, he used a trick to seek good luck and avoid bad luck, and then rushed to the auction house.
…
"The best spiritual stone, also commonly known as spiritual crystal, is the essence of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It has no mineral poison or any impurities. It can be used for direct absorption and practice. Its effect is comparable to that of being in a fifth-level spiritual land. You know, even fire
The Yunzong Mountain Gate is only on the fourth level of spiritual land, while Stanley City is only on the third level..."
The auctioneer explained everything in detail, then opened a brocade box and showed it around.
Chen Li couldn't help but be attracted.
This is a crystal-clear spirit stone that looks as clear as water and exudes a faint glow.
And this kind of spiritual stone!
The auction host encouraged while displaying: "Because of this, this kind of spiritual stone rarely enters the market, it is quite rare..."
Before he could finish speaking, an impatient voice came from a box in the auction house: "What are you talking about? It's such a waste of time. Why don't you hurry up and take the photo!"
"That's right, who doesn't know this stuff?" Another voice came from the box.
Fortunately, the auction host has experienced this scene for a long time. When he saw this, he quickly smiled bitterly and begged for mercy: "The lesson taught by the seniors is that the juniors will start now. The size of this spiritual crystal is a standard crystal lattice. The starting price is one thousand high-grade spiritual stones. Every time
The price increase shall not be less than ten high-grade spiritual stones.”
Upon hearing this price, Chen Li suddenly took a breath of air.
One thousand high-grade spiritual stones.
All the savings he had were nothing more than this.
"One thousand and twenty!"
"One thousand and fifty!"
"Eleven hundred!"
…
The bidding was sparse, and most of them were taken by Jin Dan in the box.
Ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators don't say whether they can afford it. Even if they can afford it, they probably wouldn't dare to take a photo of it. This thing is so eye-catching that even the golden elixir would turn red in the face.
In the end, this spiritual crystal was sold for a sky-high price of 1,350 high-grade spiritual stones.
…
Things were auctioned off one by one.
By the time Chen Li bought the technique he wanted, the entire auction was coming to an end and people had already left.
"Second-level and fourth-level flying spell: Void Flying Escape. The duration of the spell is one stick of incense. It flies extremely fast. According to the actual comparison at this auction house, the speed is comparable to the second-level high-quality flying sword of the fifth-level Emperor of Foundation Establishment. When flying,
The body is wrapped in flowing light, like a ray of light across the sky..."
I have been in this world for a long time.
Chen Li can also get a rough idea of the vague time description here.
One stick of incense takes about half an hour.
This is enough.
What's more, it can continue to be optimized.
"The starting price is five high-grade spiritual stones, and the minimum increase each time is no less than one high-grade spiritual stone."
"Six!" Chen Li shouted the price.
"Seven!"
"Eight!"
Chen Li originally thought that there wouldn't be too much competition for a single technique.
Unexpectedly, there are many interested people.
In a short time, this technique was priced at fifteen high-grade spiritual stones. At this price, you can buy a second-grade mid-grade magic weapon.
But when Chen Li thought about it carefully, he came to understand.
Ordinary second-level and fourth-level spells are naturally not of such high value, except for the flying spell, which is too practical.
For example, this Void Flying Escape Technique can allow a monk on the fourth level of Foundation Establishment to have the speed of a second-level high-grade flying sword of a fifth-level Foundation Establishment Envoy. The value of this is completely immeasurable. Sometimes the speed is faster.
It's the difference between life and death.
However, isn’t it better than spiritual stones?
It can't compare to those golden elixirs, and it can't compare to foundation building.
…
"Twenty high-grade spiritual stones once, twenty high-grade spiritual stones twice, if you want to increase the price, the deal is done!"
Hum hum, a bunch of poor people.
Chen Li walked out of the auction house and let out a sigh of relief.
all the best.
The only thing that made him a little unhappy was that after spending so much money, when he was getting the magic, he was actually asked by the auction house to swear an oath not to tell anyone about this magic.
It is equivalent to buying only the right to use it, not the ownership.
The last time I bought the Illusion Technique at the Artifact Gate, I didn't have such a trouble.
ps: Alas, I can’t continue to degenerate like this. First, I’ll try my best to update it every day.
