Chapter 1202: Chapter 511: 1 Million Spirit Coins【Extra for Alliance Hierarch Kyo1027】_3
Now, if this piece of [Nurturing Soul Wood] can be acquired, then in the future, every Golden Core stage cultivator and Purple Mansion phase cultivator within the Zhou Family could leave behind a "Lifebound Soul Plaque" within the family. Even some important Foundation Establishment stage cultivators could also possess a "Lifebound Soul Plaque."
As for using [Nurturing Soul Wood] to refine magic artifacts or Dharma treasures, that’s merely the auctioneer’s attempt to entice others to bid on the item.
In reality, most Refinement Masters simply don’t have the ability to refine [Nurturing Soul Wood] into magic artifacts that can defend against Divine Sense attacks, let alone Dharma treasures!
Otherwise, magic artifacts that can defend against Divine Sense attacks wouldn’t be so scarce in the Cultivation World, and Zhou Chun wouldn’t need to painstakingly cultivate the Heart Lotus Scripture, such a secret technique.
As numerous cultivators competed in bidding, the price of [Nurturing Soul Wood] soared rapidly, doubling in no time and breaking through forty thousand Spirit Coins!
"Forty-three thousand five hundred Spirit Coins. Is there anyone willing to bid higher than Box 37?"
"Forty-three thousand five hundred Spirit Coins, second call. Is there truly no higher bid?"
"Forty-three thousand five hundred Spirit Coins, third call—sold! Congratulations to Box 37 for securing this piece of [Nurturing Soul Wood]!"
When the auctioneer ultimately announced the final price, Zhou Chun finally let out a sigh of relief.
If the price had gone any higher, he had already decided to give up!
After securing three precious treasures in quick succession, most of the Spirit Coins in his possession were gone; he had no intention of bidding further.
In the hours that followed, Zhou Chun watched as one treasure after another was sold for exorbitant prices, refraining from making another bid.
When the finale treasures were presented, Zhou Chun found himself somewhat astonished.
Because the final three treasures in this auction included two Dharma treasures and a set of Nascent Soul spirit materials.
Unfortunately, even the set of Nascent Soul spirit materials ultimately fetched the astronomical price of over one million Spirit Coins, leaving Zhou Chun with no choice but to stand by and watch.
Once the auction concluded, the [Fire Essence Copper], the remnant blade of the Dharma Treasure, and the [Nurturing Soul Wood] Zhou Chun had successfully bid for were delivered to his private box by a Golden Core stage cultivator, in exchange for the eighty-three thousand seven hundred Spirit Coins he had committed.
After this transaction, Zhou Chun was left with just thirty-three thousand Spirit Coins.
"Looks like once you reach the Golden Core stage, Spirit Coins slip through your fingers even faster!"
Examining his significantly deflated Storage Pouch, Zhou Chun couldn’t help but smile bitterly and shake his head as he carefully put away the three spiritual objects before departing the auction venue.
Golden Core stage cultivators may find it easy to earn Spirit Coins, but spending them is evidently even faster.
Unlike Luo Qingni, who is an Alchemy Master capable of continuously generating vast wealth through her exceptional skills, Zhou Chun knew he didn’t possess such abilities.
The wealth he currently had—reaching a million Spirit Coins—was purely the result of profiting from wartime opportunities in the past.
At this point, unless he resorted to becoming a rogue cultivator who robbed others, it would be quite challenging to restore his fortune back to the million-level range.
After all, the mid- and low-level spiritual objects still in his possession had mostly been liquidated.
While he still had plenty of treasures left, they were all items intended for future use and couldn’t be casually exchanged for Spirit Coins.
Given this, it seemed that to secure a significant influx of Spirit Coins in the future, he would inevitably have to rely on the Zhou Family once again.
Having finished participating in the grand auction at the Xiandu Marketplace, Zhou Chun didn’t linger for long in the marketplace and soon returned to Tianyuan Immortal City.
After arriving at Tianyuan Immortal City, Zhou Chun sent Luo Qingni a Communication Talisman but did not receive any response, which indicated to him that she was likely still occupied with refining pills.
After some brief hesitation, he decided to rent a cultivation cave, paying five years’ rent upfront.
The "Reforging of the Shattered Cauldron" procedure carried immense risks, especially as it could not withstand interruptions.
While the Zhou Family Mountain Gate was also considered a safe location, the Zhou Family had its share of enemies.
Thus, Zhou Chun preferred to carry out this refining step within Tianyuan Immortal City.
In Tianyuan Immortal City, unless a Nascent Soul stage cultivator personally came to cause trouble, no one would disturb those in secluded cultivation.
Two months into cultivating in the rented cave, Zhou Chun received a Communication Talisman from Luo Qingni, calling him over to collect the refined elixirs.
"Taoist Friend Zhou, please understand: the [Ancient Dust Pill] is not something I have refined often, and its difficulty is by no means low. This time, only six pills were successfully produced, partly due to the superiority of the pill furnace."
"As for the Foundation Establishment Pills, their performance has been quite solid this time. Across the first six furnaces, fifty-five pills were successfully refined. The four subsequent furnaces, however, yielded only six pills due to the decline in main ingredient efficacy—for a total of sixty-one pills!"
Inside "Qingni Residence," faced with the visiting Zhou Chun, Luo Qingni made no effort to engage in excessive pleasantries, instead directly sharing the results of her recent secluded pill refinement.
As she spoke, she began fetching the alchemy bottles containing the elixirs and handing them over to Zhou Chun.
At this moment, Zhou Chun was somewhat stunned. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
It wasn’t until Luo Qingni extended the bottles containing the refined pills toward him that his face lit up in amazement. Staring at Luo Qingni, he exclaimed, "Taoist Friend Luo, did you just say there were a total of sixty-one Foundation Establishment Pills? Is that correct?"
"Yes, there are sixty-one Foundation Establishment Pills in total. All of them are here."
Luo Qingni shot Zhou Chun an odd glance and nodded in confirmation.
As a Golden Core stage loose cultivator, she naturally couldn’t fully comprehend the perspective of a Golden Core stage cultivator from a family.
In her view, while sixty-one Foundation Establishment Pills represented a considerable fortune, it wasn’t extraordinary.
After all, for her, such pills were only useful for selling to acquire Spirit Coins and had little practical application otherwise.
But for Zhou Chun, this many Foundation Establishment Pills signified the potential addition of dozens of Foundation Establishment stage cultivators!
