Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 213 - 130: The Art of Trapping by Father-in-law_2

This array method caught Chen Yi's attention - being able to produce spiritual energy from Demon Beasts and reaching the spiritual energy intensity equivalent to that of a first-tier spiritual vein?

In the Immortal Cultivation World, it might be an array method suitable for Loose Cultivators during the Qi Refining Period or those practicing dark cultivation techniques. It isn't very eye-catching,

but if it was introduced to the Martial World,

It could potentially unleash terrifying power!

Chen Yi was somewhat tempted, if he bought this and brought it to the Martial World, it could make any major sect grovel before him!

But,

As a person who cultivates the Turtle Breathing Technique and is not good at fighting, this does not suit his character,

Chen Yi heard several bids when the price for this array method had reached 400 spirit stones, no one wanted it anymore.

In the end, it was bought by..

"Huh? It's actually him?"

The final bid for this array method was surprisingly won by Old Zeng sitting next to him.

This Old Zeng, he is likely the Ghost Face who once abducted fairies, draining their blood back then to refine the Evil Pill that enhances spiritual roots,

Having acquired this array method this time, he probably isn't up to any good?

Chen Yi silently noted it in his heart, keeping quiet about it.

.....

Next, the Beast-controlling Wu Family auctioned some Spirit Beast cubs and Spiritual Beast Eggs,

Chen Yi merely watched without making a move.

Currently, his body refinement consumes a lot. If he relied solely on pill refining, he wouldn't be able to save many spirit stones, let alone prepare for the Foundation Establishment Pill needed during the Late Stage of Qi Cultivation. He needed to save some spirit stones.

Plus, with his long lifespan, Chen Yi would not easily buy another Spirit Beast unless he encounters one with a slow cultivation pace and long lifespan.

Soon, the auction came to its climax, the various Foundation Establishment powers became serious, many of them were here just for the Foundation Building Pill.

"Ladies and gentlemen, up next is the highlight of this auction, the Foundation Building Pill!"

As the moderator's voice fell, a black pill shadow was suspended in mid-air with four clear lines on it,

but only over half of the fourth line had formed,

"Ah, what a shame, it can barely reach the ultimate level of the first tier, it can be considered inferior amongst the Foundation Building Pills."

"Nonsense, didn't you think about whether an ordinary Foundation Building Pill would appear here?"

"Tut-tut-tut, this inferior pill can still increase the chances of Foundation Establishment success by 15%. If you don't want it, don't bid later, don't fight with this old man."

The auction room buzzed with conversation, while the host, Elder Ye, waited with a smile. When the room had quieted down,

he continued speaking:

"Everyone has seen it. I'll say it again, the quality of this Foundation Building Pill is average, and it only provides a 15% success rate for Foundation Establishment. If anyone minds, please do not bid.

The starting bid for this pill is 2000 spirit stones, and each bid must raise by no less than 100 spirit stones. Let the bidding begin."

"2200!"

"2500!"

"2800!"

"3000!"

The bidding went on, and now each bid was almost always from a Foundation Establishment family or a senior at the peak of Qi Refining,

ordinary Late Stage of Qi Cultivation couldn't even touch this thing,

When the price exceeded 3000, Song Chengcheng and Zhao Chengyu both sighed and gave up their fantasies,

Their wealth couldn't support the purchase of a Foundation Building Pill.

When the price exceeded 4000, even some of the Foundation Establishment Families gave up,

Zhao Chongjian on the stage also shook his head, no longer partaking in the competition,

The current peak Qi Cultivators in the family are all nearly 60 years old, and their cultivation talents and potential are relatively average,

Taking this inferior Foundation Establishment Pill rashly, the hope of breaking through to Foundation Establishment is small,

And 4000 spirit stones is a heavy toll on the family, they can't afford to take that risk,

Moreover, it seems, the 4000 spirit stones aren't the final price for this Foundation Building Pill!

"4500 spirit stones once!"

"4500 spirit stones twice! Is there any more bidding?"

"4500 spirit stones three times!

Congratulations to our guest at booth 19 for winning this Foundation Building Pill !!"

Eventually, this inferior Foundation Establishment Pill sold for 4500 spirit stones, a high price;

This price had greatly exceeded the value of the pill itself, and many wealthy big families were no longer competing in the auction,

Because compared to its effect, this price far exceeded its worth.

The one who bought it was a former Foundation Establishment family, the Chai Family from the Spirit Plant Island.

After the death of the Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Chai Family ten years ago, no new Foundation Establishment cultivators were produced,

And in just ten years, the sphere of influence of the Chai Family had shrunk by nearly 70%!

If a new Foundation Establishment cultivator can't be produce soon, their fate might not just be becoming a Qi Refining Family,

What is more terrifying is that they might be invaded by other powerful factions, losing their family and all the accumulated wealth over more than a hundred years.

An impoverished Foundation Establishment Family still has assets worth almost ten thousand spirit stones.

The Chai family paid almost all their reserve spirit stones this time, all for a chance at Foundation Establishment,

Their hope for survival now lies in this single dream.

Luckily, there are some young people with good talent in the family.

In the private room, an old Qi Refining Period peak and a 30-something-year-old Qi Refining ninth layer cultivator discovered they had won the Foundation Establishment Pill, immediately disguised their appearances using Magical Instruments,

And then sneakily exited the auction through the VIP exit at the back, directly going to the backstage for the transaction.

In less than a hundred breaths' time after obtaining the Foundation Establishment Pill through trading, the old and young pair once again changed their appearance and walked out of the auction through the back door separately,

They hid within the crowd, swiftly leaving Spirit Fish Island from different directions.

Tan, Wu, Zhao these three families had previously jointly stated that cultivators who obtained the Foundation Building Pill are not allowed to establish their foundation on the island.
