The craze for buying elixirs and talismans was over, and Wang Daoyuan finally had time to go shopping.
At this time, the trend of households selling supplies has just begun.
In order to take pictures of the Foundation Establishment Pill, each family took out things that they would normally be reluctant to sell, and casual cultivators and family members who set up street stalls began to appear in the market.
Especially those families whose foundation-building monks were killed in battle are eager to dig out the family's spiritual veins and sell them.
Of course, the scene is a bit exaggerated, but it is far from time to take out the things at the bottom of the box.
After all, the Netherworld Sect has announced that ten foundation-building pills will be auctioned one year later. Less than a month has passed, and the various forces have only taken out some less important things, far from the point of selling the iron.
Even so, the things sold on the market now are not comparable to usual ones.
For example, first-level elixirs and the seeds of first-level elixirs would never be seen in normal times, but now they can be seen everywhere.
Wang Daoyuan walked out of the Danfu Pavilion and walked a few steps along the avenue in front of the door. He was stunned by the sight in front of him. Various first-level elixirs, magic weapons, magic talismans, etc. were placed on the street stalls for sale.
If it weren't for the different clothes of these people, he would have doubted whether he had traveled back to the vegetable market in his previous life. How could there be the pomp of a cultivator here?
It took Wang Daoyuan a long time to come back to his senses, and his consciousness was searching for the spiritual objects he needed at each stall.
Soon, he found two saplings at a stall. His eyes suddenly lit up. He had long wanted to plant some spiritual fruits and spiritual trees in the space, but unfortunately these things were not available at ordinary times.
The person setting up the stall was a male monk who looked to be in his early thirties, wearing a pale black robe with a pine tree embroidered on it.
He is very familiar with this symbol. It is the symbol of the Meng family on Cangyun Peak. Cangyun Peak is only about two thousand miles away from Yuquan Peak. There is an ancient pine on the top of the peak. The pine tree covers the sky and the sun, covering the entire peak. From a distance, it looks like a forest.
Pale black clouds cover the mountain peak, hence the name Gray Cloud Peak.
The Meng family also belongs to an old family, but its history is relatively short, only more than four hundred years, and it has not produced any powerful figures.
When the three major sects rebelled, the Meng family was weak and did not participate too much. It did not suffer a big blow afterwards. After the war, its development was much stronger than that of the Wang family.
There were two foundation-building monks from the Meng family, both of whom participated in this three-sect war. Among them, the head of the Meng family died in the battle, and there was still an elder who was nearly 200 years old.
The lifespan of a foundation-building monk is only two hundred and forty years, but most monks do not live up to the upper limit of their lifespan.
This supreme elder can only last another forty years at most, and that's without getting into fierce fights with others.
In these forty years, if no one can successfully build the foundation, then the Meng family is likely to collapse, and the best outcome is to become a vassal of other families.
The Netherworld Sect has a fixed auction of foundation-building pills every sixty years, which is used to win over subordinate forces. The next fixed auction will be thirty years later.
If the Meng family misses this time, it is still unclear whether the family can survive until the next time. Therefore, it can be said that the Meng family is determined to win the Foundation Establishment Pill this time.
The news of the auction of the Foundation Establishment Pills had just come, and the Meng family had already started selling spiritual tree seedlings. These were good things that could be used as a family industry.
Wang Daoyuan walked to the stall, and the monk setting up the stall greeted him warmly: "Fellow Daoist Wang, just pick whatever you like."
Wang Daoyuan was wearing the Wang family's standard Taoist robe. After all, his ancestors were rich, and the fish and dragon pattern was still very famous in Qingli County. What's more, the Meng family and the Wang family were neighbors. The two families had a very good relationship and could be regarded as family friends.
He pointed at the saplings and said: "I have met fellow Daoist Meng, and to be honest, I have taken a liking to these two saplings. If I am not mistaken, these two saplings should be Golden Silk Jujube and Yanyang Wood, right?"
Golden Silk Lingzao is a first-grade high-grade spiritual fruit. It has the effect of strengthening the meridians and Dantian. It is also ranked among the first-grade spiritual fruits and is rarely seen on the market.
The value of Yanyang wood is relatively low. This wood does not make timber, the trunk is hard and brittle, and its strength is not much stronger than ordinary trees. It cannot be used to refine spiritual weapons, nor can it be used as building materials.
The only value is burning charcoal. The firepower of Yanyang charcoal is gentle and stable, which is very suitable for novices in alchemy and weapon refining.
The shortcomings are also obvious. The firepower is not strong enough for refining first-level high-grade magic weapons. The firepower is very weak, but it is enough for refining first-level elixirs.
The biggest advantage of Yanyang wood is that it grows very fast. If the seeds are planted and the spiritual energy is sufficient, they will bloom and produce seeds in the same year, and can be used to make charcoal in five years.
For Wang Daoyuan, a rookie who is just about to learn alchemy, Yanyang charcoal is perfect. Moreover, Yanyang wood grows quickly, and with the help of the spirit bead space, it can be produced in large quantities.
Hearing that Wang Daoyuan intended to buy two saplings, the Meng family monk looked happy and said: "Wang Daoyuan has a good eye, these two spiritual trees are indeed the Golden Silk Jujube and the Yanyang Wood.
Since fellow Taoist recognizes it, I won’t introduce it anymore. The Golden Silk Jujube sapling has one hundred spiritual stones, and the Yanyang Wood sapling has thirty spiritual stones. What do you think, fellow Taoist?"
Wang Daoyuan chuckled lightly and said: "Fellow Daoist Meng, this business is not very kind! Let alone Yanyang Mu, it is not uncommon on the market. It costs thirty spirit stones, so my hands are a bit dark.
As for this golden-seed jujube, it is considered a rarity. I can say that I got a bargain with the hundred spirit stones. But the leaves of this sapling are yellow, the plant is short, and the head is droopy. At first glance, it looks like it has been discarded. I
Even if you get it, you may not be able to survive. The price is probably..."
"Alas~~" the Meng family monk sighed, "Wang Daoyou has a sharp eye. However, this golden jujube is really not an outgrown seedling. I got it by chance when I was traveling abroad. It's just that the sapling has just been transplanted.
, has not yet been re-rooted.
If it weren't for the family's situation, I wouldn't be willing to dig it up and sell it. It only looked sick after the roots were removed twice in a row. However, I guarantee with my personality that there is nothing wrong with the seedling itself and it will definitely survive."
Wang Daoyuan also sighed and said: "Fellow Daoist Meng, you don't have to be like this. In this war, my Wang family also suffered heavy losses. I also feel the same for the Meng family.
Our two families can be considered family friends, that’s all, let’s just pay according to the price offered by fellow Taoist.”
The Meng family monk bowed and clasped his fists and said, "Thank you so much, fellow Taoist Wang."
Wang Daoyuan handed over the spiritual stone, put the two saplings into the storage bag, left the stall, and began to search for other valuable spiritual objects.
The monk surnamed Meng put the spirit stone into the storage bag and said with emotion: "This fellow Daoist Wang is still a loyal person!"
Wang Daoyuan did this not to benefit his enemies, but to increase his rivals in the bid for the Foundation Building Pills. The Wang family originally had more than 20,000 spiritual stones, and Qinglifang City realized more than 20,000. One more would make more than 40,000 spiritual stones.
Wang Daoyuan planned to take out more than half of the spiritual stones in his hand and exchange them for family contribution points.
Even though there are many families competing for the Foundation Establishment Pill this time, and there may be a serious price premium, it is impossible for each Foundation Establishment Pill to cost more than 100,000 spiritual stones.
There have been fierce competitions for Foundation Establishment Pills in the past, and there have been several times where the situation was more severe than this time, but the highest record in history was only one hundred thousand spirit stones.
Although there is a discount on the Foundation Establishment Pill in this auction, after all, no one has prepared in advance, there are not many spiritual stones in stock, and the price is not too outrageous. The Wang family is still very sure of winning a Foundation Establishment Pill.
As for taking two Foundation Establishment Pills, that would be courting death. There are no Zifu monks in the family, so who would dare to do such a thing that would make everyone jealous.
Moreover, there is no half-price discount for the second Foundation Establishment Pill. The Wang family has no ability to take out one hundred thousand spiritual stones after taking one Foundation Establishment Pill.
Since there is a high chance of winning one, but it is impossible to win two, it is better for the friendly forces to take one than to let the hostile forces take it away.
