Chapter 485: Chapter 209 Must Take Down! (Ask for subscription )_2
It was quite rare for him to talk so much.
If it had been Gao Tingyuan or Li Dazhi, he wouldn’t have been so patient.
But Min Longyu was different.
This man was skilled in array formation and had no roots or bases to call his own. He needed to be curried favour with.
He believed that he had been fair to him, and indeed, he’d made a bid just now. But there was no way around it, the circumstances were more compelling than the individual.
Such is the life of immortal cultivation.
“I won one, Li Yixian won one,
“Fortunately, the third Foundation Establishment Pill was won by the Yu Family of Yi Hua Mountain, otherwise, it could’ve easily stirred up unnecessary trouble.”
Luo Chen nodded.
He was very satisfied with this result.
He believed that the major powers in the Taishan District could also accept it.
Perhaps, the only ones who would find this unacceptable were the late-stage Qi Refinement rogue cultivators.
But, who cared?
No one did!
With Yu Ding Sword Pavilion’s departure and the Flame Alliance delegating the market’s control to the Huo Family, the other sites such as Spirit Medicine Hall and Wanbao Pavilion were properties of foreign sects.
As a result, many default rules were no longer acknowledged by anyone.
What?
Foll𝑜w current novels on fɾēewebnσveℓ.com.
Offer a Foundation Establishment Pill to give rogue cultivators a glimmer of hope?
What a joke, which Immortal Cultivation Clan would be willing to sell such a precious resource at a low price?
If they really sold it at a low price, Huo Hu would be the first to be scorned for inviting ruin upon his family.
Different stands lead to different perspectives.
In the end, it all led to the current situation.
His eyes fell on the lifeless late-stage Qi Refinement rogue cultivator who looked as if he’d lost all hope in life.
Luo Chen didn’t feel any pity or sympathy.
“If I had chosen to be a rogue cultivator back then, I probably would’ve also faced such difficulties at every auction.”
“Even with plenty of Spirit Stones, I couldn’t spend them.”
“Qi Refinement… How can it compete with Foundation Establishment?”
After a moment of emotion, Luo Chen focused again on the ongoing auction.
As expected of the property of the Medicine King Sect, the elixirs brought out for auction by the Spirit Medicine Hall were all top-notch!
Luo Chen couldn’t resist making another bid and bought a second order spirit pill and a large number of high-quality calming incenses.
This entailed quite a hefty expenditure of Spirit Stones.
Every time he bid, he was excellently accurate with his pricing.
It was okay once or twice. But after several times, the cultivators of Luo Tian Creed, who’d reached the ninth level of Qi Refinement, were all quite surprised.
Coming up next were the auction items provided by rogue cultivators.
There weren’t many high-quality resources in this part, so Luo Chen didn’t pay much attention to it.
He casually started chatting with the people he’d brought along.
“In the Immortal Cultivation World, auctions, black markets, and rogue cultivator markets are very common trading platforms”
“Each place has different trading techniques.”
“Today is a good opportunity, so I’ll explain to you some bidding techniques used in auctions.”
“First, we must assess our own practical situation, such as…”
He explained carefully.
The cultivators of Luo Tian Creed listened attentively.
Even the kid, Qu Lingjun, listened as if spellbound.
After all, what Luo Chen talked about was not just theory.
He’d practically demonstrated it several times during the previous auction.
Observing opponents, making decisive bids!
Gradually raising the price to exert psychological pressure on opponents!
Seizing the starting bid to make a preemptive strike….
While everyone was seriously listening, Wang Yuan couldn’t help stealing an intense glance at Luo Chen.
At this moment.
He seemed to see the shadow of a certain someone in Luo Chen.
The final auction slowly concluded with the sale of a magic item named Yan Han Cloth.
And the person who won this item was none other than Li Yixian.
I have to say.
In this auction, the four Foundation Establishment cultivators from The Great River District had indeed pulled all the stops.
Two magic items had been won by Wang and Li.
And the prices were all very high.
Luo Chen wasn’t idling either and made frequent bids.
The items he won were not the top-tier ones, but they were indeed very precious.
The only one who had become silent after losing the Xuanhuo Sword to Wang Haichao was Nangong Jin.
As for the high-profile actions of the few Foundation Establishment cultivators from The Great River District, the local cultivators of the Taishan District responded kindly.
This represented that they genuinely wanted to integrate into the Taishan District and were actively spending.
Especially since this auction was organized by the Huo Family of Red Toad Mountain.
The high bidding by Wang and Li truly gave face to them.
The auction’s end did not mean the building was emptied of people.
Playing with the red invitation in his hand, Luo Chen contemplated.
He lifted his head, and far away, Li Yixian, who just came out from the box, nodded at him.
It seemed that they had all received the invitations too!
This banquet, I’m afraid, will not be enjoyable.
Shaking his head, Luo Chen put away the invitation.
“Hui Niang, you guys should head back immediately.”
“Pack up and have the Sky Hawk Flying Boat ready to start at any time.”
His voice echoed in their ears.
Sima Huiniang looked at Luo Chen in surprise, then realized something.
She nodded heavily and immediately left with her people.
Wang Yuan paused, “Do you need me to go with you?”
Luo Chen gave a slight smile, “That’s not necessary, it’s not a dragon’s den or tiger’s den, and the Huo Family still needs to save face. You go back first and hold down the fort for Luo Tian Creed!”
Wang Yuan nodded. Since the other party had this confidence, there was no need for him to say anything more.
Besides, Luo Chen’s strength was now in no way inferior to his.
There was no need to protect him as before.
After all the cultivators of Luo Tian Creed left, Luo Chen shook his hand and strode deep into the palace.
Soon, the four Foundation Establishment figures of The Great River District gathered together in tacit understanding.
Even though they gathered in silence, the atmosphere was somewhat tense. Luo Chen stepped back slightly, looking at the two people ahead with a smile. “Friend Nangong, you’ve really surprised me with your silence!” Wang Haichao said calmly, his voice full of sarcastic undertones.
Nangong Jin gave a bitter smile, “Friend, since you have already gotten what you want, why do you insist on not letting go?”
“Hmph!”
With a cold snort, Wang Haichao glared at Nangong Jin.
“Originally, I didn’t need to pay such a big price!”
Nangong Jin put away his bitter smile and said earnestly, “You don’t have to force yourself to stay here. Why make it hard on yourself?”
Indeed.
Wang Haichao and Nangong Jin were different.
The latter had a clan to take care of, and urgently needed a place to recuperate. Taishan District was undoubtedly the best.
Staying here would mean getting used to the environment and understanding the disposition of the nearby True Cultivators of Foundation Establishment.
It would be greatly beneficial for the development of the Nangong Family. However, for Wang Haichao, a loner at heart, forcing himself to stay would be foolish.
Wang Haichao glared at him fiercely and said nothing more.
He turned and left immediately.
His speed was very fast, and in an instant, he left the other three Foundation
Establishments of The Great River District who were sticking together. Watching this scene, Li Yixian couldn’t help but let out a soft sigh.
At this moment, the so-called Great River Alliance collapsed in name.
She glanced at Luo Chen and found that he was wearing a playful smile, as if he had known about this all along.
“Friend Luo Chen, where should we go next?”
Hearing this question, Luo Chen’s expression remained unchanged. His gaze still followed Nangong Jin’s slow pace.
He quietly replied with four words.
“Tian Lan Immortal City!”
Li Yixian was taken aback.
She stopped and let Luo Chen pass her and walk in front.
Looking at his easy-going figure, Li Yixian’s heart was in turmoil.
Tian Lan Immortal City, one of the top ten immortal cities in the Yu Ding
Realm, owns a third-order spirit land.
It was a great distance from here.
Even if they rushed there by a flying magic tool, it would take at least several tens of days.
General cultivators rarely travel such a long distance to an unfamiliar place. Was Luo Chen planning to…because he couldn’t stay in Taishan District?
“No!”
Li Yixian’s heart trembled, remembering the scene in the hall on Xiao Huan Mountain.
At that time, Luo Chen listed several destinations, and the one left in the end was clearly “Tian Lan Immortal City.”
In other words, he had made his decision long ago.
It wasn’t a sudden whim!
“That’s right, he has no clan to burden him, and everything he does is seeking longevity.”
“In that case, the mere Taishan District is unlikely to be of much concern to him.”
“But with such a long distance, how many twists and turns will occur on the way… when they get there, will Luo Tian Creed really be able to stand firm?” “It indeed is a good place, if my Li Family also goes there…”
“Friend Li?”
A voice full of uncertainty came from ahead, interrupting Li Yixian’s thoughts. She saw Luo Chen looking back at her in confusion and hurried to catch up. What good will thinking too much do!
She wasn’t as strong as Luo Chen, who had just reached Foundation
Establishment, and was thinking about the pros and cons.
She might as well take one step at a time.
